Beyond the Portal
FADE IN:
EXT. PERTH'S HOUSE - DAY
Perth walks towards his house, backpack on his shoulders, lost in thought.
CUT TO:
INT. PERTH'S BACKYARD - DAY
Perth enters the backyard, notices a shimmering portal, and approaches it curiously.
PERTH:
(whispering) What the...?
A hand reaches out from the portal. Perth hesitates, then takes the hand and steps into the portal.
CUT TO:
INT. PORTAL DIMENSION -
Perth finds himself in a strange, dimly lit space. He sees Leo standing still, looking confused.
PERTH:
(awed) Who are you?
The Boy:
I...I'm Leo
Perth:
where are we
LEO:
(equally perplexed) I...I don't know.
Perth feels an inexplicable connection to Leo, as if they share a deep bond.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure appears in the background, and a voice echoes.
VOICE:
Perth, wake up! Wake up!
CUT TO:
INT. PERTH'S BEDROOM - DAY
Perth wakes up with a start, realizing it was just a dream. He looks around, disoriented.
PERTH:
(to himself) Why do I keep dreaming about this guy? And why do I feel like I know him?
CUT TO:
INT. PERTH'S KITCHEN - DAY
Perth's mom calls out to him.
PERTH'S MOM:
Come down and eat your breakfast, Perth! You're running late for school!
Perth gets out of bed, still lost in thought, wondering about the strange dream and the mysterious connection he felt with Leo.
FADE OUT.
INT. CLASSROOM - DAY
Perth sits in class, distracted, staring out the window.
TEACHER:
Class, I'd like you to welcome our new student, Leo.
The door opens, and Leo walks in. Perth's eyes widen as he takes in the familiar face.
LEO:
(nervously) Hi, everyone. My name is Leo. I'm excited to be here.
Perth's eyes lock onto Leo's, and he feels a jolt of recognition.
PERTH:
(to himself) Wait...I know that voice. It's the same voice from my dream.
Leo's eyes meet Perth's, and they share a moment of mutual understanding.
TEACHER:
Leo, why don't you take a seat next to Perth?
Leo walks over to Perth, and they sit down together.
PERTH:
(whispering) Leo? Is that really your name?
LEO:
(smiling) Yeah...why?
PERTH:
(hesitant) No reason. Just...coincidence, I guess.
Leo looks at Perth quizzically, but Perth quickly looks away, trying to process the surreal moment.
FADE OUT.
Let's continue with the next scene:
INT. CLASSROOM - DAY
Perth and Leo sit together, trying to focus on the lesson. But they can't help sneaking glances at each other.
PERTH:
(whispering) Leo, can I ask you something?
LEO:
(equally quiet) Yeah, what is it?
PERTH:
Do you...do you ever have dreams that feel really real?
LEO:
(hesitant) Yeah...I do. How did you know?
PERTH:
(Impatiently) Never mind. Just...just tell me about your dreams.
LEO:
(looking around nervously) Okay...I dream about a portal, and a hand reaching out. And I feel this connection to someone...someone I don't know.
PERTH:
(Eyes widening) That's my dream too!
LEO:
(Surprised) What? That's impossible!
Their conversation is interrupted by the teacher, but they share a look that suggests their connection is deeper than just coincidence.
FADE OUT.
