Tiny Dragon: A Snippet

This is a brief scene of a short currently being worked on.

LISA
Where are my car keys?

FAYE
Where'd you put it?

LISA
There, on the counter.

FAYE
Apparently not.

LISA
I did. I know I did. Faye, it's not funny. Where are my keys?

FAYE
I don't know. Don't you have a lost and found app?

LISA
Yes!

Searching through her phone, her eyes furrow in frustration.

FAYE
What?

INT. FAYE'S BEDROOM
Walking into a cluttered room, Lisa's eyes dart across the room.

LISA
App says my keys are here. Faye!

FAYE
I didn't take it.

TING. A faint sound of rustling piques their interest.

LISA
What is that?

Looking around curiously, annoyance fills Lisa's face as the sound becomes prominent.

LISA (CONT'D)
Where is that coming from?

FAYE
My bookshelf?

Scanning through her shelf, Faye finds crumbled plaster, leading her behind the bookshelf.

FAYE (CONT'D)
There's a hole in the wall.
(beat)
Hey, your keys are in here.

LISA
What?!

Peaking through the hole, Lisa's eyes widen in shock. A small dragon with burnt orange scales coils around its various shiny treasures. A baby shriek surprises Lisa as it protects its prize.

LISA (CONT'D)
There's a lizard in the wall.

Faye sneaks a peek, adoring the mini dragon as it lets out a small ball of flame.

FAYE
Aww, it's a dragon.

LISA
So, there's just a mythical animal living in our walls. How?

FAYE
(shrugs)
Wait, if dragons are real does that mean trolls are? 'Cause that would seriously explain why I only get one sock back after doing laundry.

LISA
Nope. Can't. I'm going to the gym where things make sense.

Lisa leaves a mesmerized Faye with the dragon.

LISA (O.S.)
We're not keeping it.

FAYE
Come on, its a dragon.
