TEASER:
EXT. MICHAEL'S HAVEN RESTAURANT AND BAR - MORNING
The camera pans up to RAIN'S bedroom opened window where we can hear Cindy Lauper's 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' blaring from BELLA'S radio on RAIN'S desk.
INT. RAIN'S BEDROOM ? MORNING
RAIN is painting a wall with a roller while BELLA is painting the door trim with a brush. They are almost done painting the room. RAIN'S choice of a light blue grey reflects her changing attitude to life. The floor is covered with a drop cloth and the bed is stripped bare. There is a step ladder covered in paint resting against the closet door that RAIN has presumably borrowed from MICHAEL. On the window still, there are two glasses of cold iced tea filled to the rim, just waiting to be sipped.
BELLA starts dancing, using her brush as a microphone lip synching to the 80's song to amuse RAIN. Her friend still holding the roller just stares at her and continues painting, hiding her smile.
BELLA: (happily) Rain, sing with me! (Wails) ?Oh Girls, just wanna have fun?'
RAIN looks over to her. She is wearing a plain white t-shirt with cutoff sleeves and BELLA'S overalls. Her hair is in a ponytail. BELLA gestures with her hand for RAIN to join her but she knows RAIN won't so she keeps singing.
RAIN: (trying to be serious) We're almost done, so you better get back to work.
BELLA: (smirks) And if I don't?
BELLA has her hand on her hip while holding the brush with the other hand. RAIN knows she is asking for trouble.
RAIN: (gives an evil smile) I'll do THIS!
RAIN picks up a brush that was on top of a closed paint can and plunges it in the paint tray she near her. She smiles holding the brush, staring at BELLA. Her friend's eyes widen.
BELLA: (backing up) What do you think you're doing with that?
RAIN: (tilts her head) Oh, just some painting.
RAIN slings her brush letting the paint fly off the end of it. It splatters mostly on BELLA'S father's old fraternity t-shirt and her jean shorts. A little bit of paint lands on her face and hair.
BELLA: (gasps) Oooh, you did not just do that!
RAIN: (smiles; smugly) Yep.
BELLA glares at RAIN with a vengeance. She thrusts her brush into her tray. There is an extreme close-up shot of BELLA'S brush with the paint dripping on her hand. She gets into battle position and splatters the paint on RAIN with her brush. Her friend flinches trying to protect her face. The girls simultaneously submerge their brushes back into their trays, getting ready for all-out paint war.
Within a few minutes, the girls are covered in paint and resemble a Jackson Pollock painting. Slowly, they look at each other and begin to smile. They burst out laughing but it fades as they see who is standing in RAIN'S door way. It's MICHAEL with a long face wearing a pair of old jeans, a ?L.L. Bean gray' t-shirt and brown shoes. RAIN quickly turns off the radio.
MICHAEL: (to RAIN) I knocked? Allie let me in.
RAIN waits for him to keep talking.
MICHAEL: Umm? Sorry to break up the party, guys? (To Rain) but I need to talk to you.
BELLA: (turns to the bedroom door) I should go? clean up in the bathroom.
RAIN: (to BELLA) No, it's okay, stay. (Looks at MICHAEL) What's wrong? Was the music too loud?
MICHAEL shakes his head.
MICHAEL: No, it's not that. Do you remember Officer Kold? (RAIN nods). Well, he's out in the hallway. He needs to speak to you.
RAIN'S face is blank.
MICHAEL: I'll tell him you need a few minutes to clean up, okay?
RAIN doesn't reply. MICHAEL feels words of comfort would not help her, so he just turns and walks away. BELLA tosses her brush on the drop cloth before approaching RAIN, slightly touching her arm to comfort her.
BELLA: (whispers) Do you think this is about your mom's murder?
RAIN just looks out the window somberly. The camera pans to RAIN'S hand still holding the brush as the paint drips to the floor.
FADE TO BLACK
