I wanted to write a scene that takes advantage of some of the thinking and roles in our society and how it can cause some confusion in the bed. But I want the video to appeal to the same audience that I always write for.
Episode 90) My BFF is Changing
We see an attractive college girl in a bathroom looking in the mirror and putting on her makeup to go out for a night of partying. She wears a short skirt and bra. Her phone rings, and she sees that it's her friend Mariah. She answers it on the speaker.
"Hey, Mariah, what's up?"
"Hey, Echo. I'm calling to find out if you're going to be home tonight. I've got something I want to talk to you about."
"Well, this is Thursday night, so you know it's my night to go partying. Can it wait til tomorrow?"
There's a long pause. "Well, this is very important — like the most important decision I've ever made. But I guess I can wait till tomorrow."
Echo puts both hands on the countertop and is considering what Mariah just told her. "Wait a moment." She pauses. "No, why don't you come over. You're my best friend, and I'm always there for you."
"Thanks, Echo! Give me thirty minutes."
The scene changes. Echo is dressed now and on her couch waiting for Mariah. We see her watching lesbian porn. Her skirt is pulled up to her waist and she's just mildly rubbing herself through her underwear. The doorbell rings, and she turns off the video. She stands and pulls down her skirt and answers the door. Mariah enters. Mariah has some resemblance to one of the girls in the video. They hug as friends and then both sit on the couch facing each other.
Echo asks "you sounded so—I don't know—desperate on the phone. What do you need help with."
Mariah is very nervous and is taking her time telling her story. This section of the dialog can be improvised. Mariah talks about how Echo has been her best friend since high school, so she wanted to tell this to Echo first. This is something that's been bothering her since they got to school last month and they've been talking about this in her Sociology class. Echo is listening patiently, a little worried, a little impatient because she'd still like to go out if she can help Mariah out quickly enough. And as Echo is talking about the class lectures about lifestyles and sexuality, she's slowly getting more excited and hopeful that Mariah is leading up to the big disclosure that she wants to have sex with her. "We're covering some of those topics in my classes, too, and I think they're kind of exciting," she tells Echo. "Do you think this is affecting you?"
"It is, it has." Mariah takes a deep breath. "I've always felt out of place and felt that something was wrong in my life, and now I know what it is." She takes a dramatic pause to make sure that Echo looks prepared for the announcement. "I'm going to start identifying as a boy."
Echo is stunned. If there's anything she thought Mariah was leading up to, this would've been at the bottom of the list. "But you're so sexy! She blurts out. "How can you be a boy!"
