()= The Sounds effect I visualized or the tone of the voice that I visualized.

I don't really mind how and when sounds are put or if you put them at all. I believe that you, the performer, knows about this much better than me. You have full freedom.
*ALSO* If you want to change the genders or some lines, go ahead. I will not mind.
Some lines may sound a bit unnatural, this could be because of my wording or the fact that English is not my first language, so, if you feel like some lines should sound more casual, with less ... fancy words? Change them if you think that will be for the best.


                                                   ---When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars---

(Sounds of a party, but a quiet one. A bass line, some dishes, up to you)
(Through most of the audio, try to go for a voice that expresses a certain warmth but still some shyness, due to lack of chances to talk with people that the character that you will be playing has. Even a bit "fancy" as in, she is from a wealthy family)

- Oh, hey there.
- I was searching for you around.
- What's wrong? Why are you here alone on the balcony?
- Is it because something bothered you?
- No?
- Then what is it?
- Just needed some silence?
- No, I get you. Don't worry. To be honest, I was looking for the same.
- Yes, sometimes being around so many people and listening to many voices and music and all of that... it's tiring.

(Pause)

- I noticed that you went up and you did not come back. So I got a bit worried.
- What do you mean? I did notice you. How could I not?
- Oh, you got a call?
- Was it an emergency?
- No?
- Oh, ok then.

(Silence. Then suddenly. Sounding a bit worried)

- Is my party... boring?
- You can be honest.
- To tell the truth, I am expecting it to be boring haha... (Shy giggle)
- You would say that because of my parent's wealth and position I get to host a lot of parties but... we don't.
- They are mostly away, the house ends up being more of a place for them to sleep than for living.
- It gets lonely.
- And, because of that, I kind of wanted to host one... for the first time.
- You think I'm doing well?
- T-Thank you.

(Pause. Maybe some giggles, breathing, etc).

- The stars are so beautiful, right?
- Yeah, I mostly watch them from my window but I have never done it before on this balcony.
- To think that you found a much better spot to do that, in my own house, haha.
- Sometimes I do wonder how much I actually know myself.
- People have already made me believe a lot of things that I might be or not.
- Huh?
- Oh yeah, I mean it as in, the way they treat me. (Progressive rising tone)
- They act towards me as if I was someone who has never done anything wrong.
- Always praising me for even the tiniest thing...
- It all feels a bit, artificial.
- Even now, at this party.
- Come on, admit it, I barely have music and food. People are mostly enjoying the pool and TV.
- A lot of them must be thinking that it sucks but they won't tell.

(Calming down, but still ranting)

- They refer to me as a "star". Beautiful, bright, even some would say that because of the "out of this world" thing.
- But, look at them.
- The stars.
- So... distant. (Serene, cold)
- So... lonely.
- Even when they all look close to each other, in reality, they are separated by a huge distance.
- It seems like a tragic fate.
- To be a star ... I hope that I won't end up like that.
- ...
- Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to ... (Back to the formal shyness)
- You don't mind?
- Thank you, you are really nice.
- Yeah, I know that we only talk at times because we are on some classes together but, still.
- From the times I have, I can tell that you are a good guy.
- Also, we were the only ones there back then.
- When it was raining, and classes got suspended.
- But we still went to (school, college, up to you).
- Right? But it was a fun day. I got to know you a bit better after all.

- Huh? What about the party? It's ok. I am not missing that much.
- Besides, it was mostly guys trying to flirt with me.
- I still don't get it, is it only because of my wealth?
- Huh? What else could it be?
- I am not that smart or funny.
- Good grades don't necessarily tell that I'm smart.
- And the little star trivia was just because I like to read a lot, that's all.
- My hair? (Sudden curiosity)
- Haha, sorry but I'm not following, because of my hair they are trying to flirt with me?
- Oh, you like my hair?
- Is that what you tried to say?
- T-Thank you ...

(Awkward silence)

- Oh no no I don't think that you are trying to flirt with me.
- Haha, could you imagine?
- Y-Yeah ...
- It was just a compliment, nothing more. (Disappointed but faking it)

(Breeze. Or just a pause and maybe sounds that indicates that you are cold)

- Say... aren't you a bit cold?
- Yeah, the night is getting colder and the breeze...
- W-Wanna keep looking at stars?
- Haha, no, really. I mean it. Come on, follow me.

(Steps. Door opening)

- This is my room.
- Thank you, I try to clean as much as I can, haha.
- ...

(Awkward silence)

- So, yeah. Haha.
- This is the window I was talking about.
- The moon is usually visible from it.
(Little pause)
- Oh, but, there aren't many stars tonight.
- Sorry, I just thought that ...
- It's ok?
- Thanks.
- Oh but...
- Here.
- Lay on my bed.
(Patting)
- I don't mind. I want to show you something.
- OK?
- I'll turn off the lights and ...
(Excited, in an adorable and childish way)
- See?
- I have glowy star stickers.
- ... You are not laughing, are you?
- I don't know, some people would say that it is a bit childish...
- You like it?
- Y-Yeah, I mean, I did say that we would keep on looking at stars so...

(Pause. Giggles. And then, a peaceful moment. You could add humming, sheet sounds, etc. Anything "relaxing")

- Calming, isn't it?
- Despite me telling how I feel towards stars, I still like to see them.
- Oh no, don't mind me. I'll be just sitting here, on the edge of the bed...

(Pause)

- Oh, are you sure?
- Is it ok if I... join?
- I know it's my bed but...
- Can I?
- Ok, good.

(Bed sounds. Maybe now you can try whispering)

- They are not real ones but...
- Since I have them here, that is enough for me to think of these stars as something close to me.
- The ones out there don't make me feel like this.
- Similar to how I interact with most people.
- Not many are actually "with me".
- They are so interested in their own "idea of me".
- They don't care at all for my actual self.
- I feel so lonely.
(Loving, but still shy)
- But, hey, now that you are here with me...

- You are humble and shy.
- You stay out of the spotlight.
- You help others.
- You cheer for them.
- I've seen you.
- You are like... the moon.
- Yeah, you shine when almost none is around.
- Or rather, when you think that none is looking at you.
- Your shine is not like the sun.
- You don't make others go blind.
- But I do, I'm like the sun.
- When people look at me, they get so blind because of the false idea that I give because of things I can't control.

(Closer, and more confident)

- Hey, don't feel bad for me.
- I ... actually, I was waiting for the right moment to say this but.
- I know that it is your birthday.
- The call you had before was because of that, right?
- Yes. How did I know? I just ... did research?
- Hahaha, no no, ok, maybe I did some stalking haha.
- I'm sorry!

- Yeah, I knew that you would never tell, so I went ahead and looked for it myself.
- Before throwing this party, I asked everyone, "Do you guys mind if I celebrate someone's birthday in my place?"
- But they didn't answer.
- I think that they got so excited because of the idea of me throwing a party that they only listen to me saying the words "Party" and "My place".
- That is why I was so worried about you.
- I wanted you to have fun but, I just couldn't do that.
- It's still ok?
- Is this enough for you?
- Laying in my bed, looking at my glowy star stickers?
- Is that really enough?
- It is?
- Well...
- I am glad.
(Giggle)

- Can I stroke your hair?
- Just, turn and face me.
(Hair stroking)
- It's ok, the darkness makes things less awkward, right?
- Why am I doing it?
- I just, I don't know, I want to... give you something.
- Can I?
- Good.

(More hair stroking. Loving whispers)

- You really are like the moon.
- Looking at me from the darkness.
- I've seen you.
- You ... try to be discrete but, yeah. Haha.
- No no, it's ok.
- If it's you then, I don't mind.
- In fact, I like it.
- You do it in a way that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable.
- Even in this darkness, the idea of you is enough for me to feel safe.

(A longer pause, breathing, stroking hair, etc. Then, suddenly)

- I- I know that you have a crush on me.
(Startled)
- No, please, don't move away.
- It's ok, hey.
- The truth is ...
- When I realized it, I actually got... happy.
- It wasn't like when other guys say it.
- You took your time.
- You slowly grew that idea.
- You started with small talks.
- You listened to me without agreeing with every single thing I said.
- You were yourself.
- And with you, I felt like I was being myself.
- Without facades.

(Bed sounds. As in, moving even closer)

- And now ...
- I could say that I have a crush on you too.
(Happy, but very nervous, blushing)
- I just didn't know what to do.
- So, celebrating your birthday was the only idea I had to make an excuse to ... have you near me.
- Hey, you really are a wonderful person.
- This is not something that I'm thinking just... now.
- Not something that I feel because of my loneliness.

(Maybe try sounds as in the character was going for a kiss in the forehead. And then, worried)
- Why are you pulling away?
- I was going to kiss your forehead.
- Am I making you uncomfortable?
- Then what is it?
(Pause)
- You don't feel like you deserve me?
- What do you mean?
(Progressive intensity-emotion)
- Please don't do this.
- Don't do the thing that everyone ends up doing.
- I am not a star.
- I am not an unreachable thing!
- I am not something that you can just look from away!
- I am here, with you, and I want to be with you.

(Pause)

- So what if you think that you are not worthy?
- I think that you are more than worthy!
- You feeling not handsome or not interesting is just... wrong.
- You shouldn't!
- You are amazing, trust me.
- It's just that, the world has made you set some... unrealistic standards.

- You being kind is not you having a debt to pay or anything.
- It's simply because you are just that good.
- You help others because you can and you want to.
- Don't ever think that you should do it because of anything else.

(Relieved)

- I like you.
- I like you a lot.
- You are always on my mind.
- And I'm just like you.
- I feel awkward, I feel like I'm bad at socializing.
- So please, if you are going to reject me, I hope that is not because you feel unworthy or anything.
- I'll ask you this once but...
- Do you want to kiss me?

(Sudden passionate kissing)

- That was ...
- I like you, so much.

(More kissing. Until things calm down)

- What will others think if they find out that we are in my room kissing?
- Who cares.
- It is just us now.
- We might not be able to change their view but...
- We can start by just changing ourselves.
- Trying to improve as a person.
- So, at least for now. Don't think about what others might think.
- Don't think about the party. It is already a failure haha.
- Just... think about us.
- Don't think of me as something out of your league.
- Think of me as the one that wants to be with you because of who you are.
- Because I think of you as the one that wants me because of what I actually am.
- While you admire me from away, I was doing the same.
- So, please. Don't be afraid to reach out to me.
- I was able to reach out for "my moon".

(Closing curtain, breathing, kissing, snoozing, etc)
