Scene: West Town Mall in Knoxville, Tennessee
Date: December 3rd, 2023
Time: 05:49 pm
(We find ourselves at the food court in the West Town Mall in Knoxville, Tennessee where we see the newest PCW signee, 20 year old Autumn Sage, looking bored out of her mind as she slowly sips on a smoothie and rolls her eyes in disgust as she mutters to herself.)
Autumn Sage: Ughh, there is, like, NOTHING to do around here!
(Autumn walks around the mall, window-shopping at some different stores until she comes to an Apple Store and looks longingly at the latest iPhone, stroking her cheeks as she speaks to herself.)
Autumn Sage: God, I want this SO bad… but I’m tapped out until pay-day! What do I do here?
(Autumn scans the mall patrons until she sees a kid with short brown hair and glasses wearing a Dragon Ball Z outfit. She then strokes her chin and a wicked smile comes across her face.)
Autumn Sage: I got me an idea…
(She turns to the kid and waves to him.)
Autumn Sage: Yoo-hoo! Can you do me a teeny-tiny favor?
(The kid makes their way over to her as she gives her sales pitch.)
Autumn Sage: You see that phone right there?
Kid: Yeah?
Autumn Sage: I REALLY wanna get one for my grandma, but I don’t get paid until Wednesday… could you be my hero and get that phone for me?
(The kid rubs the back of his neck nervously.)
Kid: I don’t know… I kinda need the money I got for my asthma medicine.
Autumn Sage: I’ll make it worth your while!
Kid: How would you do that?
(Autumn whispers something into his ear that automatically makes his eyes light up like a Christmas tree.)
Kid: You got a deal!
(The kid runs into the store as Autumn plays with her Apple Watch to pass the time. Finally, the kid comes out of the store excitedly and hands her the phone. She then kisses him on the cheek and speaks up.)
Autumn Sage: Thanks, hun!
(Autumn starts to leave as the kid looks disappointed. Autumn then turns to him and speaks up.)
Autumn Sage: Aww, what’s the matter?
Kid: What about your promise?
(Autumn mockingly cups her hands over her mouth and gasps as she speaks.)
Autumn Sage: Sorry, sweetheart, but I wouldn’t be caught dead with a dork like you!
(The kid looks crushed as he stammers out to her.)
Kid: B-but what about your grandma?
Autumn Sage: Oh, bless your heart… she died five years ago! But thanks for the new phone!
(The kid looks ready to burst into tears over being used as Autumn Sage turns to the camera and speaks.)
Autumn Sage: PCW, my name is Autumn Sage, and what you just saw is a small example of what depths I will sink to to get what I want in life… and I ALWAYS… get what I want.
(Autumn flashes a wink and a wicked smile to the camera as she walks away and we fade out.)
