Rough Draft of Script

This is a rough draft with a lot of missing pieces but I wanted to get a quick outline out....


Fade In:
Ext. Outer Space

STAR (an active little star that bounces around. Star is very motherly and has a need to take care of people and make them happy) is bouncing around one day and noices that SUN (a usually cheery character but is feeling lonely and needs some romance in her life) is very upset. [A thought bubble with a boy in it comes up]. Star decides to figure out what kind of guy will make Sun happy. Star decides she will start out on Pluto and take on it's Greek Mythology roles.

Ext. Outer Space -- Pluto
[need to fill in what happens here still]


Star continues to bounce around. Next stop is Saturn

Ext. Outer Space -- Saturn
[need to fill in what happens here still]

Star bounces off to Earth

Ext. Outer Space -- Earth
[need to fill in what happens here still]

Star sits to think what else he can do. After awhile he looks over at Earth and notices a moon revolving around it. MOON (very attractive and very romantic) looks sad as well. Star bounces over to him to talk. A minute later Star brings Moon to Sun and as they match up a solar eclipse occurs.

New Story Idea

Characters:
Sun - unknown name as of now (female)
Star - unknown name as of now (unknown)
Moon - unknown name as of now (male)

Setting:
Outer Space

Sun is depressed and wants a boyfriend. Star, being Sun's best friend, is trying to figure out what kind of guy would make Sun happy. Star goes from planet to planet trying to "impress" her with whatever the planet is most known for (Roman and Greek Mythology). Star first starts out on pluto. Pluto is most known for being the king of the underworld but also is very cold. Knowing that Sun is very hot, Star tries to cool her off by pushing Pluto closer. Sun only ends up melting it.
Star moved on to Neptune, god of earthquakes. Star acts like he is really strong and tries to lift Neptune up. As soon as it is over his head he drops it and bounces off rattling about.
Star moves on to Uranus, a musician. Star starts using Uranus as an instrument (not sure which one yet) and plays her a song, but Sun is not impressed because she can play better.
Star shoots over to Saturn, god of time. Star squishes Saturn down into a watch, using the rings as the wrist strap, and gives it to her. Sun's heat is too strong and breaks the watch.
So Star keeps moving on and next up is Jupiter, god of rain. Jupiter starts to make rain and while Sun is watching it rain, the reflection hits the water and creates a rainbow. The star slides down the rainbow and it fades away. Sun gets upset again.
Star shoots over to Mars, god of war. He goes off screen and comes back with a canon and stuffs Mars inside. He shoots him off and hits a passing comet. The explosion makes fireworks that are in a shape of a heart, showing a romatic side. Sun smiles until it disappears.
Star continues his journey onto Earth. When he reaches Earth, he notices all of it's nature. He reaches inside and pulls out some flowers. Sun only makes them wilt because again her heat is too strong.
Star's next stop is Venus, goddess of beauty and love. The goddess has a "perfect figure" and is always seen smiling. Sun likes how buff this guy could be and notices such a bright smile. However she want's more than just good looks.
Star has one last stop, Mercury. Mercury is the god of wealth. Star reaches down inside adnd pulls out a $1,000,000 bill and gives it to Sun but it catches on fire. Sun is so disappointed and Star sits down to think.
Star sees Earth slowly pass by with a moon revolving around it. Star rushes over to Moon and takes it to Sun. Sun instantly fell in love. As they moved closer together the moon past right infron of the sun causing a "solar eclipse". (?Star shoots across them. The light from the eclipse slowly fades away. Credits begin?)

Jimmy's story in paragraph form

Jimmy, a 16 year old, is on the school's golf team and is preparing for the upcoming tournament. Little does he know, his secret crush Sally, is on the course too. Jimmy is so distracted by her good looks that he keeps loosing his focus on the game. Her being this close makes him nervous. He tries to be all manly by shoing off how well he can play. In doing this he accidently hits her with the "ball" (which is actually a commet). She became really mad and almost started to yell at him until she realized that he was kind of cute. Instead she decided to have a compition, so they shook on it and continued their practice. The next day at the tournament it came down to the last "hole". Jimmy teed off and landed on the rings of Jupiter. Sally was next to go and made a "hole in one", which won the match. Sally was all excited to not only win the match, but the bet as well. In good sportsmanship, Jimmy congratulated Sally who devoloped a crush on him as well.
