<b>The Star By:Ellabc23</b>
<p>
<b> CAST </b>
<p>
<b>MEILING: </b> an unkind girl who travels to Gardinia to learn what kindness really is
<p>
<b>KAI:</b> Meiling's brother that questions Meiling in her rain of unpleasantness
<p>
<b>LEILA:</b> Meiling's best friend that is a quiet sensitive girl
<p>
<b>UNPOPULAR KID:</b> A kid that Leila talks to
<p>
<b>SOFIE:</b> A girl trapped in Gardinia that was unkind
<p>
<b>BLUEBIRD:</b> A hurting bird that helps teach Meiling kindness
<p>
<b>KING JACK:</b>The Gardinian king that helps Meiling see the error of mean
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<b> <p>(MEILING is at school with LEILA, who talks to an UNPOPULAR KID. MEILING yells at LEILA)</p> </b>
<p> MEILING: What are you doing?? This unpopular kid will completely ruin both of our social statuses! </p>
<p>UNPOPULAR KID: I was just telling-</p>
<b><p>(UNPOPULAR KID is cut off by MEILING)</p></b>
<p>MEILING: Whatever. Just never talk to me again.</p>
<b><p>(UNPOPULAR KID runs away. At home, KAI is coloring a picture and MEILING rips the paper.</p></b>
<p>KAI: Why did you do that? I just spent the last hour on that drawing, and now it's ruined! Come on, sister!</p>
<p>MEILING: Just make another one. I'm teaching you that life is very hard. You're welcome.</p>
<b><p>(MEILING rolls her eyes, goes to her room, and calls LEILA. Both girls are present on the stage in their respective bedrooms. MEILING's room is dark and LEILA's is bright and summery)</p></b>
<p>MEILING: Hey Leila, how annoying was that kid earlier? It's like, he should know that you and I are both really popular and he isn't.</p>
<b><p>(MEILING expects LEILA to agree with her and waits for her to respond. LEILA looks confused.)</p></b>
<p>LEILA: And what does that matter?</p>
<p>MEILING: The rule of life is that popular people don't hang out with unpopular people unless they can gain something. If they bother you, just yell at them, they'll go away.</p>
<p>LEILA: I know that you're going to get really mad at me for saying this, but I don't agree. The kid from earlier was talking to me about my favorite book series, and since it's not exactly popular, that was the first person I've ever met who even knows about the books. Now you made it so that I can't talk to them ever again without 'ruining my social status.'</p>
<b><p>(MEILING is shocked at LEILA's outburst and takes it personally, while LEILA is just glad that she finally had the courage to stand up to MEILING.)</p></b>
<p>MEILING: Is that how it's gonna be? Someone like that kid worms their way into your head and suddenly you forget everything you stand for? </p>
<p>LEILA: First of all-<p>
<p>MEILING: Oh, there's a 'first of all.' Fine, go ahead if you really want to. I won't stop you.</p>
<p>LEILA: Fine. As I was saying, Jackie, yes, Jackie has a name, has not 'wormed into my head.' That's complete nonsense. Also, I do not stand for that. Maybe it's what you stand for, but not me. </p>
<p>MEILING: I can't even believe you. Consider yourself dead to me. Bye!</p>
<b><p>(MEILING hangs up the phone and throws it on her bed. LEILA sobs into her pillow as MEILING sits on her bed and falls asleep. Fade out lights.)</p></b>
She gets into her bed and is magically<p><p><p>
transported to Gardinia. SOFIE greets her and the girls become friends. A BLUEBIRD is trapped between some branches and MEILING saves it<p><p>
despite SOFIE'S words stating she shouldn't. MEILING travels far to KING JACK, who tells SOFIE that she could only return to her home<p>
if she could become kind again. He shows MEILING how kind she is, and she helps SOFIE become nice and
