EXT. PALACE STEPS - NIGHT

The first stroke of midnight rolls across the courtyard. Above, the music plays on without her.

CINDERELLA (19) is already running, her skirts gathered in her fists.

THE PRINCE (O.S.)

Wait. At least tell me your name.

She turns. Opens her mouth. The second stroke swallows it.

She looks at her hands. Ash is creeping back into her fingertips.

She runs. On the seventh step, a glass slipper stays behind.

The Prince reaches the stair as the twelfth stroke dies. He lifts the slipper. It is still warm.

Scene plan Before a word is written, the scene’s purpose is agreed. By you.

Scene plan

The stroke of midnight

Enters: The ball is at its height. She has danced with him all night and never said her name.
Moves: He asks her name. Midnight answers first.
Pressure peaks: Ash returns to her hands while he is still looking at her.
Leaves: She is gone. He holds the only proof she was real.

Characters What the story knows about them, and what is still only a possibility.

Cinderella

Characters

Wants: One night where she is seen, not used.
Fears: Being seen as she really is: ash on her hands.
Contradiction: Longs to be known. Runs the moment someone asks her name.

She leaves the slipper on purpose.

A possibility
