My Equality

***My Equality*** is the sixth episode in *Adventures in Snowy Falls*.

## Synopsis

Sarah finds herself in a panic mode over Lily, realizing a shocking truth which she must confess to her parents, and Lily.

## Transcript

*Episode opens at Sarah's house. She is waiting for Lily to arrive*. *Then a knock is heard.*

Sarah opened the door to find Lily. "Oh! Lily! You're here! I mean, obviously you're here...what?" Sarah noticed Lily was looking at her strangely.

"You okay, Sarah? You're...really...really...flushed," Lily observed.

"Yeah, just, a little hot," Sarah lied.

"Do you wanna...like, bring water?"

"Uh, sure. Be right back!" Sarah quickly went to grab water. *What the heck was that? I've never been so panicked around Lily.*

*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 back to Lily and Sarah. They are walking to the park.*

"So, Sarah, I'm curious...why are you blushing so much?" Lily asked.

"I'm not sure. Uh, could we change the subject?" Sarah said.

"Tomorrow is the dumb soccer game. But hey, we're always on a team, so, yeah!" Lily said.

"Tomorrow?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah. We'll be fine, though. Not like we care about soccer," Lily answered.

*Us? On a team? Oh, gosh! That...that sounds...oh, get a grip, Sarah! Lily's just your friend. Why are you panicking so much?*

"Say you had to play one sport for the rest of your middle school life. What would it be?" Lily asked.

"Hmm...probably...ice hockey?" Sarah said.

"Makes sense. I've seen you on ice. I'd go with baseball."

"Wow, it's getting really hot," Sarah said. "I'm gonna go, see you later or tomorrow?"

"Yep! Bye!"

*Cut to Sarah's room. She is sitting on her bed.*

"I don't get it...what's the matter? Why am I panicking so much over Lily?"

*Think. You've been Lily's friend forever. She's your bestie for life. She's your friend. Argh, what to do! You love her...you...*oh no. *Oh no. Not yet. Not this early!*

"Well, there it goes. Goodbye, straightness, I guess."

***Fade to midnight.***

*Sarah is awake drawing. It is a lesbian flag that says* I am a lesbian *on it.*

"Surely they'll accept me?"

Sarah crept into her parents bedroom and left the drawing on her parent's table. Then she crawled into bed.

*Cut to soccer the next day. Lily and Sarah* are *on the same team.*

"We've got this," Lily said to herself.

Sarah was too distracted to play. Luckily, she was hardly ever passed to, and didn't try to get noticed.

She got passed the ball once, which she almost tripped over, but actually managed to score a goal with.

"And *time*!" the coach shouted. "With a score of 3-4...the winning team is our visitors, aka...uh...that team!"

The coach pointed to Lily and Sarah's team. They high-fived.

*Scene switches to recess. Lily and Sarah are sitting under a tree.*

"Sarah, you okay?" Lily asked.

"Yeah. I've gotta tell you something. Because I know you'll take it well," Sarah said.

"Go on," Lily prompted.

"Lily, I'm *a lesbian*. And I'm terrified of going home because I don't know if they will accept me! I don't know what to do."

"Face them head on. Be bold. Sarah, just go for it. Don't hesitate, and reason with them. They're **going** to accept you, and nothing will change that," Lily said.

"And if they don't?" Sarah asked.

"I'll be there with you. We'll *make them*!" Lily said.

*Cut to Sarah's house. Lily is standing behind her.*

"Well...this will take some time to get used to," Mrs. Walker said.

"Yes. You'll have to understand that we may not be used to this," Mr. Walker said.

"But...I mean...am I still your daughter?"

"What? Of course you are! Why wouldn't you be?"

Sarah shrugged. Lily and Sarah walked upstairs.

"So...who's your crush?" Lily joked.

"Oh, that's...not important," Sarah said.

"Sarah, you can't hide it forever. Just kidding, not everything has to be between us." Lily said.

"Thanks, Lily," Sarah said.

*Scene closes.*
