Camera:-
- Straight forward shot of her drawing - desk to top of head.


Part 3 (Vix):-

Vix walks to her desk, sits, and starts to draw in the paper pad she was holding. A Pirate, Knight and Musketeer can be seen on the page. She is rather focussed scribbling away with her tongue sticking out in concentration.

A cat's meow in the background makes her jump and she drops the pad on the floor.

As she reaches to get it, the Pirate she was drawing pops out from under the table.

Vix: Eh?!

Camera:-

Part 4 (Natalie):-

Vix is now dressed as a Pirate too and readying her own sword.

Pirate: Yaaaar!

Vix: Yaaaaaaaaaaar!

They fight, hopping back and forwards, their swords clanging, for a small amount of time when suddenly the Pirate leers. Vix suddenly smiles victoriously.
