(The lights come up, showing a little girl wearing her pajamas center stage aka. in her bedroom.)

Rylie: Hi! I'm Rylie, I'm currently 14. My mom says I can get my drivers license when I'm sixteen so, I ride my bike everywhere. I'm the only child and I LOVE brownies, I'm kinda addicted to them.

BLACKOUT

(The only light being shown currently is from the fridge, you can see Rylie in the light of it.)

Rylie: Now, you're probably wondering why I'm up so late at night well, (Rylie grabs a platter of leftover brownies from the fridge and lifts them up over her head) I'm here for THESE! (Holy music plays, and a spotlight is focused on the platter of brownies)

(The fridge is then closed, causing a BLACKOUT, the only thing heard right now is the loud chewing and scarfing down of the brownies by Rylie)

(Rylie's Dad enters, and the lights come up.)

Rylie's Dad: I thought I told you no more eating at night, it'll make you fat soon enough.

Rylie: (with food in shoved in her food) Nahhhhhh (while spitting out the chewed brownie onto the container)hhhhhhhhhh, you don't know what you're talking aboutttttt.

Rylie's Dad: I'm serious, you need to stop getting sugar drunk by the brownies that are meant for your grandmother NOT you.

Rylie: Uhhhhmm, okay, welp. Were screwed.

Rylie's Dad: No," we're" not, "we" as in YOU will have to pick up pre-made ones at the bakery in the morning.

Rylie: Finnnnneee, (points her finger at him) but at least let me finish this.
