Ext. Mystic falls/ morning
A small Virginia town. Quant, picturesque. A place you'd like to raise a family. Southern in it's hospitality, northern in it's attitude.
a Prius makes its way past main street. Man and pop. A couple restaurants. A hardware store. A church.
Elana rides beside Bonnie (17). Light, bubbly, and adorable. A loyal friend with a big heart. she's in chatty catty mode.
Bonnie Bennett
Did I tell you about the argy? I had the football team over. Threw a blindfold on. I still don't know who took my virginity..... Elana! Back in the car!!!
Elana jumps when she hears Bonnie yell her name. Quickly snaps out of her doze.
Elana Gilbert
I didn't again, I didn't I? I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were saying.......
Bonnie Bennett
What? C'mon, you can do it.....
Elana Gilbert
(thinking hard) something about being psychic.
Bonnie toots the horn. They both laugh.
Elana Gilbert
Okay, then, predict, what's in store for me? Give it up.
Bonnie is turning a corner. She holds one hand out, waving it like a magic wand. In complete goof mode.
Bonnie Bennett
I see puppies and daffodils and a naked Ryan gosling.....
Suddenly, something flies into the windshield. Bonnie jerks the steering wheel. The car goes skidding
She slam's on the brakes.
Bonnie Bennett
What was that? oh god......
Bonnie turns to Elana.
Bonnie Bennett
Elana? Are you okay? I'm so sorry.
Elana sits frozen in the front seat.
Elana Gilbert
I'm okay. It happens.
Bonnie Bennett
no I'm so sorry, it was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere.
Elana Gilbert
It's okay. I can't let care freak me out for the rest of my life.
She shake's it off. Determined not to let it cloud her day. Bonnie gets it. Appreciates it.
Bonnie Bennett
I predict this year is gonna be kick ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over. And you're going to be happier than happy. With some that sex too.
Elana smiles. Touched by all Bonnie says.
Elana Gilbert
That's all good. Just one thing. If you're psychic, how come you didn't predict the bird?
