- no title specified

TRULY TRULY GWEN

Eduard Cao

 

A montage of scenes narrated by ERICA begins this production.

 

ERICA

Hi, I'm Erica Bennet. By day I'm

the owner of a music studio company and

the mother of like a billion foster girls.

But when duty calls, I transform into the

mega pop singing super hero Gwen, of Gwen and

the Candy Girls. Eat your heart out Madonna.

I was given these powers by a magical

platypus called Heartfull.

 

HEARTFULL

I'm a mascot.

 

GWEN

Only a few know my secret:

 

As GWEN talks about each of her friends, a montage of scenes of each girl is shown to accompany the dialogue.

 

GWEN

Rainbow Lite, who's mother abandoned her,

but that's okay because now she's the

leader of a group of super powered kids

who each represent a color of the rainbow.

 

RAINBOW LITE

I've got Rainbow POWER!!!!

 

GWEN

and Strawberry Cupcake also knows

my secret... but sometimes she forgets.

She lives in a magical place where

everything is made out of cakes

and fruit. Even the people.

 

The only person that doesn't know

about my secret though is my boyfriend

Roman. He thinks Gwen and Erica are two

seperate girls. He also likes

Gwen which really complicates things.

 

SCENE: GWEN'S BEDROOM

Everything is girly and pink. Heartfull sits on GWEN's bed as GWEN looks into the camera, still narrating.

 

HEARTFULL

You really should tell him.

I think it's so irresponsible

for you to have kept this masquerade

going on for so long. Who do you think

you are to be playing with his

feelings like that?...

 

GWEN

Sometimes Heartfull thinks he gives

me advice, but I never listen,

 because he's just a magical platypus,

what does he know?

 

HEARTFULL

Who do you think you are?

This is not okay.  

Are you listening to me?

Who are you talking to?

 

The doorbell rings.

 

GWEN

Oh, it's Roman. (to HEARTFULL) Erica Time Heartfull.

 

HEARTFULL

You are abusing power. You are abusing power!!

 

GWEN leaves the room as she transforms into ERICA.

 

SCENE: THE LIVING ROOM

 

ERICA answers the door. ROMAN enters through the door.

 

ERICA
Hi Roman.

 

ROMAN
Hi Erica, is Gwen here?

 

ERICA
Gwen?

 

 

ROMAN

Yeah. I need to talk to her about the

new lighting design for the tour.


ERICA
You can talk to me about it. I mean,

I am the owner of Sunshine Music.

 

ROMAN

But shouldn't Gwen decide?

It's her show right?

 

ERICA

Okay, I'll get her.

 

ROMAN

You can be in the meeting too.

 

ERICA
What?

 

ROMAN

You are the owner of the music company.

It's only fair. I wonder why

I didn't think of that sooner.


ERICA
Yes, I wonder why.

 

ERICA exits the LIVING ROOM.

 

SCENE: GWEN'S BEDROOM

 

HEARTFULL is still sitting on the bed. ERICA enters and closes the door behind her.

 

ERICA

Gwen Time Heartfull.

 

ERICA transforms into GWEN.

 

HEARTFULL

Tell him, or I will.

 

GWEN

He won't believe you. You're just

a platypus... with magical powers.

GWEN exits the room.

 

SCENE: THE LIVING ROOM

 

GWEN enters.

 

GWEN

Hi Roman.

 

ROMAN

Hi Gwen, you look beautiful.

 

GWEN

Really? Thanks. It's so good to hear that.

Isn't Erica, your girlfriend, beautiful too?

 

ROMAN

Yeah. So let's talk about your concert.

 

ROMAN and GWEN sit on the couch.

 

GWEN

Tell me more about Erica.

 

ROMAN

What?

 

GWEN

You say she's your girlfriend,

but you're always flirting with me.

 

ROMAN

I've got to be honest with you Gwen.

There's something about you

that I just can't resist.

It's like we've met before.

 

GWEN

Wow, really? You are so insightfull.

 

ROMAN

Thanks.

 

GWEN

I love you Roman.

 

ROMAN gets up.

ROMAN

What?

 

GWEN

Don't you love me?

 

GWEN gets up too.

 

ROMAN

I'm sorry, I'm so confused.

 

GWEN

Well maybe I should end your confusion.

Roman, I am Gwen.

 

ROMAN

I know.

 

GWEN

Oh, OH!!! Sorry. Erica Time Heartfull.

 

HEARTFULL appears behind the couch and transforms GWEN into ERICA.

 

ROMAN
What the...

 

ERICA
Roman, I am Gwen,

Gwen Time Heartfull.

 

HEARTFULL reappears and transforms ERICA back into GWEN.

 

ROMAN

All this time you were Gwen and

you never told me? You made a fool of me.

You deceived me. You lied to me.

 

GWEN

I can explain.

 

ROMAN

I hate deception and I despise liars.

I never want to see you again.

 

ROMAN kicks a potted plant to the ground and exits.

SCENE: LIVING ROOM

 

GWEN is joined by STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE and RAINBOW LITE. A bunch of pastries surround the female companions.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE

Oh Gwen, is that why you're bummed?

Well, have a Strawberry Cupcake!!!!

 

GWEN

Thanks Strawberry.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE

Things will get better. Things

always get better. Don't they Mr. Sun?

 

STRAWBERRY looks out the window, RAINBOW and GWEN look on at her, confused.

 

RAINBOW LITE

Have you spoken to him since?

 

GWEN

Spoken to him? It happened

seconds ago, right before

the commercial break.

 

RAINBOW LITE

What are you going to do?

 

GWEN

I don't know. He was my first

love. He's been there

for me since I was 10.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
You mean: he's been

there for Erica.

 

RAINBOW LITE

Strawberry, it's all right,

it's just us, we know

that Gwen is really Erica.

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
Gwen's really Erica?

 

RAINBOW LITE

Are you even here?

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
More cupcakes!!!!

 

STRAWBERRY starts to cram more muffins in her mouth.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE

The way I see it,

there really is no issue.

 

RAINBOW LITE
No issue?

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE

He loved you as Gwen AND Erica.

He loves you no matter what

you look like. It's all

about what's inside.

 

RAINBOW LITE

They kinda look the

same though.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
He loves who you are,

not what you are.

 

RAINBOW LITE

But now he doesn't trust

her. She's been lying to him.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
You need a cupcake.

 

RAINBOW LITE

You need a tranquilizer.

 

GWEN

Maybe I should create another persona

and he'll fall in love with that.

New Persona Time...

 

RAINBOW LITE

No, no more personas. You just have to be

honest with him, about everything.

From this point on.

 

GWEN

I can be honest. I can be totally honest.

Totally Totally Honest.

 

RAINBOW LITE

Are you going to sing now?

 

GWEN

Maybe.

 

A video credit shows on the bottom left of the screen: GWEN AND THE CANDY GIRLS TOTALLY TOTALLY HONEST

 

RAINBOW LITE

Now is not the time for

a music video break.

Go away corner credits.

 

The credits fade away.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
Wow, that is so cool. When I sing

 the fruits sing with me.

 

RAINBOW LITE

Have another cupcake.

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
I ate them all.

 

RAINBOW LITE
All of them?

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
All of them.

 

RAINBOW LITE

Wow, is that why you smell so sweet?

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
Yes. My pores secrete strawberry juices.

Anyone want a glass?

 

GWEN

I have a better idea.

 

GWEN takes out a bottle of wine.

 

CUT TO:

 

Hours later. The girls are now relaxed due to being intoxicated.


RAINBOW LITE

So many colors.

 

GWEN

I see pink.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
I feel fine.

 

GWEN

Can you believe I've never ever had

one glass of whatever this stuff is.

Real adults do, right?

 

RAINBOW LITE

I've been a child for a billion years.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
I'm hungry all of a sudden.

 

 

RAINBOW LITE

You are always hungry and it's

never all of a sudden.

And you are always drama.

 

GWEN

I am not drama. And who are you

to talk princess? You on your rainbow

castle with all your rainbow friends

with their cute names

and technicolor ewoks.

 

RAINBOW LITE

So many colors.

 

CUT TO:

 

A few hours later. RAINBOW and STRAWBERRY are asleep. HEARTFULL tries to wake them up by tapping them with his beak. GWEN is now ERICA. A doorbell ring is heard. The sound hurts ERICA's head. She gets to the door.

 

CUT TO:

 

SCENE: FRONT OF THE HOUSE

 

ROMAN is at the door. ERICA joins him outside.

 

ERICA

Roman?

 

ROMAN

Erica?

 

HEARTFULL peaks his head out and transforms ERICA back into GWEN.

 

GWEN

I'm Gwen now. What are you doing here?

 

ROMAN

I needed to cool down.

 

GWEN

Where did you go?

 

ROMAN

Went for a walk. I don't want to fight,

and kick potted plants over.

I don't think I can be your road manager.

And I can't be Erica's boyfriend.

Or... your boyfriend. You know what I mean.

 

GWEN

No. You love me Roman. Even as another persona you love me.

 

ROMAN

I didn't love you Gwen.

I loved the fantasy you represented.

You're not even real.

I can't trust you anymore.

 

GWEN

Me...

 

HEARTFULL transforms GWEN back into ERICA.

 

ERICA

Or me?

 

ROMAN

Stop that. Neither of you

 

ERICA turns back into GWEN

 

ROMAN

and why do you keep turning back into Gwen.

 

GWEN

I like this look.

 

ROMAN

Goodbye Gwen.

 

ROMAN leaves, as GWEN stands by.

 

GWEN

Heartfull. I need a hug –

 

FADE TO BLACK

Clips of the next episode, accompanied by voice overs by GWEN, STRAWBERRY and RAINBOW.

 

 

GWEN

Oh no, Roman has left me.

What am I going to do now?

I have a tour coming up and

I could really use his help.

 

RAINBOW LITE
You'll have us to help Gwen.

 

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE

Yes, both of us.

 

GWEN

You guys are the greatest.

This will be a great concert right?

Right?
