The scene starts with a lighthouse. It was built decades ago, and it was practically falling apart from the bottom up. The only things nearby were a cliff and the sea. The main character, William the Pikachu, rushes up the stairs of the lighthouse in a panic, panting as he dashes as fast as possible.

On the top of the lighthouse, Lucy The Buizel looks around, worried. The lighthouse starts to rumble and quiver. Lucy starts to breathe shakily, as she fears for her life.

"HELP! Please rescue me, William!" Lucy desperately cries.

William hearing Lucy's cry for help seemed to motivate him more, as he started darting up the stairs faster than lightning.

"Do not fret Lucy, for I shall save you!" he yelled with his soothing, clear, and beautiful British accent.

Speaking of lightning, the sky was engulfed in gray clouds, and it was very windy, so much so that the fur on Lucy looked like it was about to blow off. Just when William was about to reach the top, a lightning bolt struck the bottom, cracking the ground that held the lighthouse in half. The entire building tipped over. Lucy released a bloodcurdling scream as her life flashed before her eyes. William had to think quickly, or else he and Lucy were goners.

He ran as fast as he could. He grabbed Lucy, held her tight, and leaped off of the lighthouse, aiming for the cliff nearby, the lighthouse tumbling behind them.

William barely grabs hold of the edge of the cliff. With his mighty strength, he pulls himself and Lucy up to the ledge.  There was no time to rest, however. Lucy yelped as William dashed off, pulling her, as the lighthouse was still coming down on them. Just in the nick of time, they both barely escape with their lives, almost getting crushed. A big CRASH came down after, and the lighthouse took a chunk of the cliff behind them.

"I guess now that I've saved your life, you should, AHEH, lighten up." William joked.

He pulls her down towards him, their noses almost touching.

"Oh William, you're my hero!" Lucy exclaimed. They then shared a tender kiss, the music swelled as they embraced themselves for what seemed like hours.

...

"CUT!"

"Alright everyone, that's all the film we need today, good job. You can go back to your trailers now." the director shouts.

The set filled with people scrambling to get the equipment and microphones hanging above them. William pulled his lips off Lucy's, and turned around, spitting rapidly. Lucy watched in confusion.

William wiped his mouth with his arm and started walking toward his trailer. Though she hesitated, Lucy grabbed the clipboard and pen that she'd put off-set before the shoot and followed him to his trailer.

"Hey, uh, William, can I-" she attempted to speak to him, but William either didn't hear her or completely ignored her and yelled for his assistant.

"ALRFED!" he called, no longer in a soothing British accent, more like an angry one. Alfred, a tall, skinny man, walked over quickly, bending down to William's level.

"Yes, sir?" Alfred asked.

"Move my 5 o'clock to 5:30 and my 6 o'clock to 6:30. If Shauna's still in the office, fire her, she has a husband. Oh, and get me my usual caramel macchiato. NOW!" he barked. His demands were met with another "Yes sir," before Alfred rushed away.

Lucy was perplexed by the orders, but she persisted in trying to speak to him. 

"Hey, er, I was-" she tried again, but she was yet again interrupted, this time by another assistant. The young lady came and walked next to William holding a paper.
