## Convincing Friends

**News Reporter:** In other news, today marks the third anniversary of Ella H-

**Andi:** *\*Looks At Ashton\** *\*Shuts Off TV\** Hey...guys?

**Joe:** Hey.

**Andi:** *\*Rolls Eyes\** Guys?

**Joe:** S'up.

**Andi:** *\*Grabs Remote\** *\*Throws Remote At Joe\**

**Joe:** OW! Dude! What the heck is your problem?

**Madison:** Joe! Are you okay?

**Andi:** Um, hello? Did you forget about me?

**Madison:** Sorry, Andi. What exactly did you want?

**Andi:** Well, um, what I wanted to ask was...

**Madison:** We're paying attention to you. You gonna answer the question or keep throwing remotes at my boyfriend?

**Andi:** Okay. *\*Scratches Palm Of Hand\** Do you think, that maybe, we should visit Ella's house? Like, we didn't even go to her funeral!

**Marilyn:** First of all, Ella didn't have a house. She had a mansion. How could you forget that when she's bragged about it, like, a bazillion times? Sec-

**Ashton:** Okay, we get it. Stop bad mouthing my dead girlfriend.

**Marilyn:** Yeah, okay. Secondly, we didn't go to Ella's funeral because her family hated us and banned us from going.

**Ashton:** Well, we should still go.

**Madison:** Yeah!

**Andi:** So...majority rules. That's the rule!

**Joe:** Yeah...in the fourth grade.

**Andi:** Shut up!

**Joe:** Well, what are you gonna do? Just..*break in?*

**Marilyn:** It's not gonna be "breaking in", it's entering! Those are two different things. Plus, her family is out looking for houses in Brooklyn.

**Joe:** Yeah, okay.

**Marilyn:** So, are we going or what?

**Andi:** Just so you know, we're using your car, Joe.

**Joe:** What!?! No! You can't use my car!

**Madison:** Please?

**Joe:** *\*Smiles\** No. Want to hear it in Spanish? No!

**Ashton:** Shut up, Joe. Or I will tell everyone your middle name.

**Madison:** Ooh, what's your middle name?

**Ashton:** It's-

**Joe:** OKAY! FINE! I'll go with you! And you can take my car. But I'm driving, okay?

**Ashton:** Thanks, Warbucks. *\*Smirks\**

**Joe:** NO! SHUT UP!

## At The Mansion

**Andi:** This is it! Gosh, it looks exactly the same as it did three years ago.

**Joe:** Except...there's a mini memorial over there.

**Andi:** There is? Thanks. *\*Walks To The Mini Memorial\**

**Marilyn:** Hey, guys. Remember this? *\*Shows Picture Frame To Group\**

**Ashton:** Of course I remember that. It was the last picture we took together before she died.

## Flashback

**Ella:** Ashie...I don't feel so good.

**Ashton:** What do you mean?

**Ella::** It means that my stomach isn't agreeing with me. Now, help me sit down.

**Ashton:** Okay. *\*Helps Ella Sit Down\**

**Ella:** Ashie, what'd you put in the drink.

**Ashton:** Nothing! I just grabbed drinks from the refreshments table.

**Ella:** You sure?

**Ashton:** Yes, I'm sure. *\*Looks At Table Behind Him\**

**Ella:** Ashie, what's up?

**Ashton:** Ella, you grabbed the wrong dr-

**Ella:** *\*Falls On Floor\**

**Ashton:** Ella? Guys! Come here!

**Andi:** What's up?

**Ashton:** Ella..she passed out. I think. I hope.

**Andi:** *\*Checks Pulse\** ...She's dead.

## "The Emails"

**Andi:** Ashton? You coming?

**Ashton:** You know what? I'll be right back. *\*Walks Upstairs\**

**Ashton:** *\*Walks In Ella's Room\** Same as always. *\*Looks At Open Laptop\** Except for that. *\*Grabs Laptop\**

**Laptop:** WELCOME, ELLA. YOU HAVE 3 UNREAD EMAILS.

**Ashton:** Three? I thought she had more. *\*Clicks On "Email" Icon\**

**Ashton:** *\*Reads Email #1\**

*Unknown Email-er:* Where are you?

*RealEllaHoward@gmail.com:* In hiding.

**Ashton:** This was replied to three hours ago... This isn't possible!

**Joe:** *\*Enters Room\** Hey, Ashton. We're leaving.

**Ashton:** Yeah. Hey, Joe, I don't think Ella's dead.

**Joe:** And...why would you think that?

**Ashton:** Because...I just do.

**Joe:** That's not an explanation.

**Ashton:** I just thought...

**Joe:** A "thought" isn't the same as a "fact".

**Ashton:** I know!

**Joe:** Do you? Or do you just "think" you do?

**Ashton:** Be quiet, Warbucks.

**Joe:** My name is Joe, Ashton. Now let's go.

**Ashton:** Fine...*Warbucks*. *\*Leaves\**

**Joe:** *\*Leaves\**

## A Ride Home

**Andi:** So, did you guys have a good time?

**Joe:** I guess. *\*Glares At Ashton\**

**Ashton:** Well, I spent 30 minutes in my dead girlfriend's house, so, I don't even know.

**Joe:** Cool.

**Ashton:** Joe, can you just drive me home? You already know where I live.

**Joe:** Sure. *\*Pulls Up In Ashton's Driveway\**

**Ashton:** Bye, guys. And, bye Warbucks.

**Joe:** *\*Glares\**

**Ashton:** I'm gonna prove that she [Ella] isn't dead. No matter what.
