Script Frenzy Day 3

Day 3 and I'm finally off the ground! I didn't quite meet the quota yet, but I've been working on a lot of stuff in my head and on paper.

The basic plot:
We follow two sisters, Emery and Bailey, during separate post-graduation summer adventures, where they learn about love, life, and following their true passions.

Emery has just graduated from college pre-law, and has planned to attend Harvard Law in the fall. Her father is a lawyer, and Emery has always tried to do what everyone else says is right for her. She likes to be in control; she doesn't like chaos. Secretly, she's passionate about dance, but she doesn't like to tell anyone because it doesn't seem to be useful for her plans. She also doesn't want to date anyone because it would just get in the way and cause her to lose focus. She is staying with her aunt and uncle at their house near a Virginia beach for the summer. She's taking a dance class for "exercise." But she's going to meet Oliver, a musician/songwriter who plans not to plan. He goes where the wind blows him. His parents died when he was younger. He wants to connect with people and inspire and be inspired, but he is afraid of staying too close for too long.

Bailey has just graduated high school and along with her two friends is traveling to San Diego for a summer volleyball training program, before they start college there in the fall. Bailey is, under pressure of being a teenager and from her peers, is trying to push her limits, be a little wild. They experiment with a little drinking a little sex, but Bailey starts to realize that it's not fulfilling. She secretly wants to write; she's been writing poetry her whole life. After an incident that injures their car, she takes the car to a shop and meets mid-twenties Phillip, who is working his way through night school. He's a little older, but intrigued by her, sensing that there's more to her than partying like her friends. She is intrigued by him, not into the partying scene and working so hard for his passions. The summer results in some interesting experiences, including a pregnancy scare and learning the hard way about love and relationships.

The sisters are kind of different, and have very different experiences, but in the end they will learn similar lessons and grow as young adults, with at least one of them gaining a love to keep.

I'm excited to have this much planned out! I have 8 pages validated on the website right now, almost to my quota for today. Special thanks to Kylee for fixing my storyline problems and Lexi for helping me with some details :)
