EXT. WINDSOR PALACE - DAY
ESTABLISHING SHOT - A sunny day outside the Windsor Manor.
There's a big celebration for the Queen's birthday.
INT. WINDSOR PALACE - DAY
A lot of well-off British people are present that day. The
Queen sits on her throne beside her husband and her only
daughter. At the event that day, there are certain people
that are above the social status of others, one good example
is the Prime Minister himself.
All the British lads seem to look up to him, while the old
woman are fascinated with his wits. But a single note coming
from the grand piano got their heads turned over only to see
Windsor's Nightingale.
Dana Staffanie Lecrois, known as Taffy or Taff to her
bestfriend, age 17, has the most angelic voice all over
England to all the Royal Families. She never got up front
and famous because she was rather kept by her adoptive mum.
She started singing when the pianist started off at C sharp
minor.
TAFF
(singing Voice Within)
Young girl don't cry, I'll be right
here when your world starts to
fall...young girl it's all right
your tears will dry you'll soon be
free to fly...When it's safe
outside your room you tend to
dream, of a place where nothing's
harder than it seems, no one ever
wants or bothers to explain...of
what a heartache life can bring and
what it means...
The guests lighten up as soon as they heard her voice. Her
mother the Duchess of Windsor brags her to her mates.
MACYgrey
DUCHESS OF DUNCASTER
What an amazing voice she's got.
DUCHESS CASSEMERE
She's got that from me my dear.
When she finished her song, everyone in the room gave
praise. All their faces full of amusement and fascination to
the young lady.

She gave a smile to everyone and pause at the sight of her
bestfriend, Ara, or better known as - Her Royal Highness,
Princess Chiarabella Windsor.
Meanwhile at London...
EXT. LONDON - DAY
Busy day at London's time square. Everybody's got splash out
because of One Direction's sold out concert the other night.
Ever since they won last year's X-factor, everybody couldn't
seem to get enough of them. Well, not exactly everyone, at
least for the thousand nutter fan girls screaming and
stalking them 24/7.
A sleek black limo drove downtown and parked smashingly in
front of a huge building. The door opens and the guys got
out one by one.
Close-up shots on their legs as they get out of the limo.
TRACK IN:Low Angle medium shots as they enter the building,
the camera following them behind, not revealing their faces.
INT. AGENCY- DAY
The guys entered the office and they faced their manager who
is none other than the master Uncle Simon Cowell.
SIMON
Guys...How're you?
LOUIS
We're still pretty zonked out, but
other than that we're healthy as
wild stallions yeah.
NIALL
What do you mean healthy as wild
stallions? Who gives a knack about
that?
MACYgrey
LOUIS
Whatever, you're talking rubbish
today Niall.
Harry just ignored his mates and gets on with the job.
HARRY
So, uncle Simon, what do you got
for us today?

3.
SIMON
Well, not much actually. But what I
want you guys to know is whether or
not you're ready for competition.
LOUIS
Pshh.
LIAM
(yawns)
I think I'll have a short snooze
after this.
ZAYN
Guys, he's not talking about
X-factor competition okay...Are
you?
SIMON
(glares at Liam and Louis)
Thanks so much for having a clear
head today Zayn, of course I'm
talking about The Arrows.
HARRY
(crushed his water bottle)
Whatcha say?
SIMON
The Arrows.
HARRY
Those American woofters.
Zayn gave him a shoulder pat and said,
ZAYN
Hold your horses mate. This could
still get worse.
Liam's phone ring and his nerves suddenly came alive.
LIAM
MACYgrey
Um, sorry mates, I've got to run.
Still got midterms today.
He checks his clothing and heads to the door.
HARRY
Hey, what about our gig tonight?
(CONTINUED)

4.
LIAM
OH, I'll be there. Promise.
LOUIS
Cheerios!
NIALL
Take care!
ZAYN
Oh, yeah, Um, I gotta go also.
HARRY
What?
ZAYN
I'm meeting Rebecca today.
Harry just gave up and slouched on his chair.
SIMON
What's wrong Harry?
LOUIS
Yeah Harry, what's bothering you
lately?
NIALL
Yeah mate? What's bothering you?
LOUIS
Oh, shut your cake hole Niall. Quit
mimicing me!
NIALL
Well, I don't see nothing wrong
with that!
LOUIS
You got a huge problem there mate.
I'm going. Bugger.
Louis gets to the door. Niall shook his head.
MACYgrey
HARRY
Problem?
NIALL
(shrugs)
Honestly, I'm feeling a little
gutted today. Good thing my
patience is a little longer
otherwise this day could get messy.
(CONTINUED)

Harry watch as Niall leaves him there feeling completely
alone.
SIMON
Some big problem you got there
Harry.
Harry just gave him a sad face. He felt like each of them
are slowly falling apart.
INT. WINDSOR PALACE - DAY
The event had barely just begun but The Lecrois were already
getting ready to leave.
TAFF
But mum, we just got here!
DUCHESS CASSEMERE
I know dear, but our business is
done here so we have to go.
TAFF
But I haven't even speak to Ara. I
should see her first.
DUCHESS CASSEMERE
I'm sure she's busy darling besides
you always see each other by the
end of the day.
TAFF
What is wrong with me staying for a
bit? It's not like somebody's gonna
nick me from you. I'm already 17
now mum. I can take care of myself.
I'm tired of always following your
orders.
DUCHESS CASSEMERE
What's gotten into you dear, why
have you been so hot headed
MACYgrey
recently. You were okay just this
morning?
Taff felt upset for her mother ignores her questions and
throws it back at her. She just gave up and followed her
mother to their car.

6.
EXT./INT. CAR - DAY
Taff looks outside her window and wonders how it feels to
live outside her world. Her mother just stares at her
understanding her feelings.
Their car entered their residence as the guards open the
gates.
INT. LECROIS' MANOR - DAWN
Taff went straight to her room completely ignoring her
mother. She maybe a little rebellious but she still feels
guilty about her attitude towards her own mum. She pushes
her door close and throws her bag onto the floor.
INT. BAR AT CENTRAL LONDON - NIGHT
One direction has literally got girls swooning. They are
about to play their most popular song but apparently Zayn is
still nowhere to be found. That is why their competition,
the American boy-band version of them is making their way
through the night, brainwashing their own fans with their
creepy dicky rhymes.
HARRY
Where the bloody hell could he be?
LOUIS
(gets his phone)
Hello, Hello, ZAYN? What? I can't
here ya mate?...Oh, sorry Grandmum,
I thought you were - yeah but...
The guys just gave out weary expressions when they thought
it was Zayn who was calling Louis.
LOUIS
B-but I thought you were in
Spain!?! What, I'm not swearing, I
swear...I mean...GRANDMUM!
MACYgrey
Louis turns off his phone and sighed. He pauses as he notice
the guys' questioning faces. It's as if he's only pulling an
acting stint.
LOUIS
It's really her. Promise!
The four other guys let his excuse go for the moment. Good
thing Zayn finally arrives.
(CONTINUED)

7.
Harry stands up and scolds him.
HARRY
You are in big trouble young man!
ZAYN
I know, I know. I'm sorry...I
thought me and Rebecca would lift
off our differences together but
it's just...it's hard.
LIAM
We get it Zayn. We totally
understand. But the next time you
choose to be squidgy, pick a night
where nothing is at stake.
Zayn understands their situation. Right now, what's
important is their show. Yep. THEIR show.
ZAYN
Ok. It won't happen again.
Niall grabs his shoulder and reminds the guys...
NIALL
Glad that's all settled then. Let's
do this thing and let's make some
noise!
The guys pulled off a cracking performance. They totally
beat those nancy boys but they couldn't help but see some
fans leaving before they even finish their song.
Backstage...
INT. BAR AT CENTRAL LONDON - CONTINUOUS
All of them were heading to their dressing room when the
lads from the Arrows obstruct their way. Liam got shoulder
bumped by their leader Dylan.
DYLAN
MACYgrey
Woah. Hey. Watch where you're going
Bieber...Oh I mean, Bieber's clone.
His mates gave a sporty laugh.
LIAM
Huh? Sorry mate, but I don't speak
chicken...um, how
about...pock-pock-p-pock...you
cock's a doodle dude. D'you get it?
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
8.
His mates gave out a healthy and exuberant laugh.
The lads from The Arrows settled down for a bit. They
thought they can rattle them with their lame insults.
DYLAN
This is our night kiddos. You
better watch your backs. We're not
leaving this city without winning.
ZAYN
That's quite ironic don't you
think? You're in our territory and
this city is ours since we got out
of a real competition you won't
even stand a chance.
LOUIS
Yeah, and besides...we're younger.
We have a lot of things to prove
yet.
NIALL
Guys, I think we don't have to do
this here.
HARRY
(whispers to Niall)
Shush. Let them.
DYLAN
Yes. True. You boys maybe younger.
But nothing beats experience... The
REAL experience. You ever gone on
tour without fame? NO? You ever
gone playing on the streets without
instruments? NO? You ever gone
rejected by your own parents just
because you were following your own
dreams?...I see...Cos you guys do
nothing but stay at a comfy house
and act like (gestures his hands)
what you are right now... Kids.
MACYgrey
He got them socks on their mouths. He raises his brow and
gave them a crooked smile.
DYLAN
See ya, chums.
He left them with those questioning looks on their faces.
The guy has a point. They do have a talent, heck they stand
a chance of dethroning them.

EXT. BAR AT CENTRAL LONDON - NIGHT
The guys head to the parking but they failed to see their
limo. Harry phoned their driver and he was disappointed to
hear that the Arrows had tricked him to get them home.
HARRY
Damn it!
NIALL
What's wrong? Where's Jeffrey?
HARRY
The Arrows have "gone" away with
our limo.
ZAYN
What?
LOUIS
Interesting how'd they do that.
NIALL
LOUIS!?!
LOUIS
What? Relax Niall, you're always
loosing your knickers.
Niall shrugged of Louis' hand on his right shoulder.
LIAM
I can't believe those guys. I feel
numb. I think I want my old life
back again.
NIALL
They sure were intimidating as
hell.
ZAYN
Screw them. We're million times
better.
MACYgrey
HARRY
(shook his head)
Sorry to burst your bubbles guys
but if we really want to stay on
top, We might as well lay low for a
bit. I mean, don't you think our
lives are the only one that's
changed ever since we've got
hooked? It's us. We've changed.
