Synopsis

A long-range shot with a bird eye view of St. George’s school comes into view. The scene shifts down into the school and goes into a close-up shot with Emily and Alison, who are walking and talking. They talk about the holidays and what they did. Both girls pass Michael and blush. Michael only says ‘hello’ to Emily and Alison is upset because she believes that Michael doesn’t believe she exists. There is an over the shoulder shot when the girls are talking and eating their lunch. Emily tells her that she has to go to the bathroom and leaves Alison alone. After a while, Alison follows her, suspicious and suddenly finds her kissing Michael, her crush! There is a close-up on Alison’s shocked face and then it changes to a medium shot of her running away. Emily runs and follows her to a classroom and tries to explain the situation. She explains that Michael asked her out before the holidays and has been dating since then. Crying, Alison is not calming down because she knew that if she didn’t find them kissing, Emily would have never told her. There is an extreme close-up on Alison teary face. It then goes to Emily’s face. With a medium shot on her Alison then wishes ‘the fae king take Emily he away right now’. It suddenly gets dark inside the classroom and Emily is gone and with a big thundering sound, in her place is the fae king. She realises her mistake and begs him to bring her back. There is a shot over Alison’s shoulder to get a view of the King. The Fae King says that she can have her dreams if she allows him to keep Emily. Alison declines the deal. She challenges him and he agrees that if she answers the riddles, and finds Emily, she wins. She agrees and the King disappears and she is alone in the classroom. When Alison goes outside, there is a close-up on her face as she gasps at her new surroundings. The whole school is empty and they sky was glowing a red, orange colour. Alison looks around the school until she is confronted by one of her teachers, Mr. Smyth. He says that if she wants to pass she must answers three riddles. The first one is: ‘What always runs but never walks, often murmurs, never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth but never eats?’ she knows this and replies ‘the river’. The next riddle is ‘the more you have of it, the less you see. What is it?’ she says ‘Darkness’ very quickly because she knows these riddles very well. The last one was ‘The meadow's wealth I trade for gold yet wisdom in my fruit I hold’, Alison takes a guess and says ‘Hazel’ and it is the right answer, Mr. Smyth disappears. Alison continues her search, there is an over the shoulder shot when she finds the secret door. She goes through it and in front of her is the castle. She finally gets to the castle and gets to the throne room. There is a Long shot between her and the throne where the king sits. He tells her that Emily is not here but somewhere in the castle. There is an extreme close up between the two, only on their eyes. Alison runs to find Emily and then sees her in stone. The King suddenly appears and says that there’s one more riddle to solve to save her. The riddle is ‘When you have me, you feel like sharing me. But, if you do share me, you don’t have me. What am I?’ There is a close up shot at Alison’s worried face; she has no clue what it is. But when she looks at Emily’s stone face she sadly realises what it is. She replies ‘A secret’ and suddenly Emily is free. Relieved Alison hugs her friend and forgives her. She wins and the King returns her back to school with Emily.
