Chương 15: Wake Up Call & Breakfast

Open with the meteor falling towards earth. Loud wind and the trail behind it and it hits the ground. BOOM!

Saku feels the shaking of the ground and wakes up. Friend shoots up and perks his ears.

SAKU(tired): "What the hell?"

Then a snowflake lands on his nose.

SAKU: "Double what the hell? Snow? In the middle of the summer? Come on Friend, I'm getting a bad feeling about something."

He wipes his nose and gets up. He looks at his leg.

SAKU: "A little sore but nothing I can't handle."

He leaves the bushes and Friend follows. They head towards the right. Saku's stomach growls and he holds it.

SAKU: "Soo hungry. Come on Friend we need to find food and then we can find shelter. Even though it's snowing the temperature is still warm."

They head out of the park and at the entrance of the park a homeless man is sleeping under a cardboard box with one side cut out and an old blanket. Saku gets sad.

SAKU(whispering to Friend): "He doesn't feel the snow yet…This guy is always here. And nobody helps him. If I wasn't in his same position. I'd help him."

They approach a bakery across the street with display cakes and other goods. Saku presses his face against the glass. He starts to think

SAKU: "Maybe if I break it quick enough I can grab enough for-"

He looks at Friend. Then he looks at the cakes.

SAKU: "Maybe I shouldn't. The last thing I had was sweets. I need something else. Come on buddy."

Friend barks. They go into an alleyway to behind the bakery. Saku looks around and spots a dumpster against the back wall. He gets excited and runs towards the dumpster.

SAKU: "Jackpot!"

He opens the dumpster and leans in. Friend playfully chases its tail. Saku cheers, comes out of the dumpster, and holds a plastic bag.

SAKU:: "And in record time. Look buddy! The Asian restaurant next door left you chicken bones."

He holds up a cardboard take out container. Friend barks and Saku throws him a bone. The dog catches it and lays down. Saku sits and is impressed.

SAKU: "Wow. For a dog with one eye your depth perception is amazing."

He opens his plastic bag and fresh bread is inside. Saku gets really excited. He grabs one loaf and starts to eat.

SAKU: "Sweet bread! I can't believe someone would throw out…"

Saku stops eating and swallows. He puts his head down and his aggression is shown.

SAKU: "I can't believe someone would throw out perfectly good bread when there is a man dying not even 100 feet from them."

Saku gets up and turns the corner but when he does he sees a man with his back turned, in a military uniform waiting at the bus stop. Then another one joins him. Saku turns back around the corner and peeks over.

SAKU: "So they got the military involved with a weather situation? Who knows maybe there's a weather controlling device. Humans fighting and killings humans like always."

He looks at Friend. Its licked the bone clean and is no longer eating it.

SAKU: "I guess this is a better time than any."

He pulls out his brown bag and grabs what he was previously smoking and a lighter. He lights the end and the cherry gets brighter.

SAKU:(Smoke coming out): " I hope you don't mind being my smoking buddy."

He exhales. As he watches the smoke it flies by a bank clock 2:34 is shown.

SAKU: "Well Happy Birthday to me I guess. Fifteen, homeless, eating dumpster bread and already smoking. Ya know Buddy, (inhales).. I wish I could be powerful enough to make humans cooperate. (exhales) I would make sure we would all get along. No fighting, no killing, no distrust and if anybody tried to hurt humanity they would get true justice. I would be a true and righteous God."

He clenches his fist in the air and Friend tilts his head while looking at him. Saku notices and laughs.

SAKU: "HAHA you're probably like 'What the hell is wrong with him?'. Sometimes I wonder the same thing."

A bus is heard releasing air breaks. Saku looks around the corner again and sees the two men get on the bus. He puts out what he was smoking and puts it in the bag. He puts the bag in his pocket then watches the bus drive away. He grabs the food and gets up.

SAKU: "Come on Friend."

Friend gets up and follows him down the alley. Halfway down a silhouette figure is seen running. Saku quickly hugs the wall to hide. Another figure is seen following but staying unnoticed.

SAKU(talking to Friend/himself): "What the hell? Was that a soldier? No, it was too small to be someone in the military. Come on Friend. Let's make sure nothing fishy goes down."

He starts to run towards the park, bag of bread in hand. He stops right before the entrance and looks to the left.

From the park gate, Saku runs nto the park and into the distance.

SAKU: "Come on buddy!

Friend barks and follows.

The camera slides towards the left and the full bag of bread is lying next to the sleeping homeless man.
