Alliance Club

***Alliance Club***  is the seventh episode in *Adventures in Snowy Falls*.

## Synopsis

Lily and Sarah sign up to join a school club that unites straight and LGBTQ students.

## Transcript

*The episode begins during lunch. Lily and Sarah are at the sign-up sheet.*

"So...hey, look! An alliance club! *Feeling scared to be LGBTQ? Join this club and get support from others in your situation, friends (that could be straight), and even teachers!* Maybe we should sign up for this...I mean, obvious reasons, right?" Lily suggested.

"Great idea. It'll really help me!" Sarah and Lily wrote down their names.

"So...Lily and Sarah are signing up for this club? Won't they be surprised when I join too! That'll show them who's boss around here!" Savannah said.

"You don't think Savannah will try anything?" Lily asked.

"Why would she? She hates us, she's not going to join!" Sarah said. "But in case she does, don't act surprised. It'll throw her off guard," she added in a whisper.

*Cut to intro.*

 We may be dreaming, but we never sleep
Pocket shallow, but they still feel deep

We may borrow, but we play to keep

We are lions, though we may look like we're sheep

We have secrets that we never tell

But you can hear them if you listen well

The perfect grain, of sand on a beach

Is just out of sight, but not out of reach.

Like a siren in the dark

We are calling for that spark

From a new song, a new day, a new dawn

We will find the life that's been living underneath our eyes

Take a breath, it's time to let it go, leave it behind

So open your arms and call out your brand new name

Say goodbye to the yesterdays that owned us

Cause today is not the same.

Cause today is not the same.

*Cut to Lily's house.*

"So, in order to support Sarah, I'm signing up for this club. Is...that okay with you?"

"Of course, Lily! We're glad you want to support Sarah," Mrs. Hunter said. "And perhaps discover her crush." She smirked.

"What? What's so funny?" Lily demanded.

"Oh, nothing..."

***Later that night...***

Lily was awake, going downstairs to get water. However, she froze when she heard her mother.

"I do think Lily is bisexual."

"Emily! You can't just *assume* someone's sexuality like that!"

"I feel like she is."

Lily gasped. *It was* so *on.*

"**Excuse me?**" Lily demanded, bursting in.

"Lily! You should be asleep!" Mrs. Hunter said.

"Oh, I would be, but then *you* talked about me like **that**, assuming my sexuality!"

"Lily, plea—"

"No! I'm not going to listen to your excuses! You start by telling me to pry into Sarah's life, then end up calling me BISEXUAL behind my back? What the heck?!"

"You have a problem being bisexual?" Mrs. Hunter asked.

"No, but you can't just call me something I'm not!"

Lily went back upstairs and sighed. *Looks like I'll need that club too.*

*Cut to the club the next day. Savannah is standing outside the room that they use.*

"Savannah? You're part of the club?" Sarah asked.

"Oh, no, but yes...well, when I heard that you joined, I had to take the opportunity to—"

"Okay, we get it, see you later," Lily said, dragging Sarah into the classroom.

"Welcome, students!" Mrs. Burns said. "Let's introduce ourselves to the newest classmates."

Each student introduced themselves.

"Hi, I'm Sarah...uh...I'm a lesbian. My parents accepted me, but I still need support."

"What more could you need?" Savannah demanded.

"Shh!" Mrs. Burns said.

"I'm Lily...I'm a straight supporter, but my mother did assume I was bisexual last night," Lily said

"Pfft, then go and leave!" Savannah said.

"You're LGBT?" Sarah asked.

"Oh...uh..." Savannah said, awkwardly. "Anyways, I'm here to present what I think about gay students."

"Go on," Mrs. Burns prompted.

"Well, we'll start with...*they're stupid*."

Mrs. Burns stood up. "**GO TO PRINCIPAL GRAY'S OFFICE, *NOW***!"

Savannah grumbled and left.

"Now, let's discuss our concerns..."

***Later...***

"So, that's how you can come out easily. Don't worry. We'll support you all the way. You're safe here! And remember," Mrs. Burns said.

"*Be who you are, even when it's tough,*" the whole class chimed.

Lily and Sarah left. "Now, Savannah has the rank of *homophobe*! All is going well."

"You think you can stop my plans? Oh, we'll wait and see..." Savannah said, watching from a distance.

*Cut to Savannah's house.*

"They have **no idea** what's coming. Oh, the looks on their faces when I crash their picnic will be priceless!"

## Trivia

* Savannah's line in the beginning: "*So...Lily and Sarah are signing up for this club? Won't they be surprised when I join too! That'll show them who's boss around here!*" is a reference to Eda's line from *Sense and Insensitivity*.
* The Alliance Club is based off of Sisi's club of the same purpose at her school.
* Despite Lily getting angry at her mother for assuming she is bisexual, she actually becomes the sexuality in *Picnic Crashed (Part 2)*.
