Amy stands in the room and takes a photo in her hand. She looks at the photo deeply and her eyes are filled with jealous.

Amy:         I am the person who should receive everybody’s attention. You should not attract everyone’s attention. You have nothing but only beautiful appearance. Why does everybody like you? You will regret to offend me; I want you to pay for it.

Then Amy takes a pair of earring out. She looks at the earring with her mouth mumbling.

Amy:         La da mo bon ja sin la mu ta ka yan ne lu sa…Ha ha ha ha ha …Sally, soon you will know what hell is like. Ha ha ha ha…

One night, there is a pub with a lot of people and noisy music. On the stage, there are some young girls dancing and laughing. One of these girls is the most attractive, all men want to be much closer to her, but she doesn’t pay any attention to them. This pretty girl called “Sally” and the other girls are Lisa and Amy. These three girls are the best friends…maybe…

After the “Hot” show, the girls are on their way to find something to drink.

Lisa:          Hey! There’s an ice cream shop. Let’s have some!

Amy:         Ok!

Sally:         Hello, handsome guy, we want three delicious ice creams.

Clerk:       Well… is chocolate fine?

Sally:         Wonderful.

The clerk hand an ice cream to Sally. Sally starts to eat it in a hot and sexy way. The clerk looks at her with shock.

Sally:         How much?

Clerk:       Oh~~ No… it’s for free…

Sally:         Oh~ thank you~~ you are really a nice man!

After that, they walk on the street.

Amy:         Sally, I want to give you a present.

Sally:         Wow~ really!? Let me see.

Amy:         See! Earrings.

Sally:         Oh~ they are adorable! Wait, why you give me a present? What’s going on? Or… what you want?

Amy:         No reasons! I just think they look good on you, really!

Sally:         Anyway… thank you!

Lisa:          Hey, Sally, it’s almost 11! We have to go to another party.

Sally:         I just forgot! Hurry!

Lisa:          Amy, bye~

Amy:         Bye…

Next Day…

Sally (f):    How beautiful! Let me try them and see whether they fit my new clothes or not.

(Sally wears the earrings.)

Sally (f):    Mum… it’s not bad. (Comb falls to the floor.) Oh…my comb.

(Sally squats down to take the comb and then come back to the mirror.)

Sally (m):  Wow… (Push away the mirror.)

Sally (m):  What happened to my face?

(Sally is tense and touches her face.)

Sally (m):  What happened? Is it my face? (Watch at the mirror again.) No! It’s a man’s face. Why I have this face?

Sally (m):  Be calm…be calm. I should tell Lisa.

Sally calls Lisa.

Sally (m):  Lisa? It’s Sally.

Lisa:          Sally? What happened to your voice? Your voice is so rough, sounds horrible! You must have got a serious cold! Oh my poor girl!

Sally (m):  I have to meet you. Can you go out?

Lisa:          Now?

Sally (m):  Yes! Right now!

Lisa:          Ok…ok.

After an hour, Lisa comes to Sally’s home.

Lisa:          Where is Sally?

Sally:         Lisa, I am here.

Lisa:          Wait! Don’t be close to me. Who are you?

Sally:         Lisa, I’m Sally.

(Sally is close to Lisa, Lisa recedes.)

Lisa:          Don’t be kidding. I don’t remember Sally is a man.

Sally:         Really! Please listen to me. I am Sally. I don’t know what happened to me. I became a man suddenly, but I am really in this body!

…………..dancing time………………………….

Lisa:          Oh my! You really are Sally! It is a big surprise.

Finally, Lisa believes that the man is her best friend, Sally.

With the time goes by, no one can make the curse disappear. It’s really hard, but they try to accept this unbelievable fact. But…Amy can’t accept that the curse couldn’t kill Sally. The hatred became stronger and stronger.

Amy:         Sally must die.

(She takes an apple from her pocket.)

Amy:         @*^$! D g h e u [olbvjgu8 [548….ha ha ha ha, Sally Brown, when you eat this, you will know what hell is like, ha ha ha.

(Amy put the apple down and waits for Sally to be back.)

After 10 minutes, Sally and Lisa are back.

Amy:         You are back. How is it going?

Sally:         Don’t ask.

Lisa:          We can’t quit, it’s not over yet. Sally, you can’t lose your hope, Amy and I will stay with you.

Amy:         Lisa is right. Don’t be so nervous, have an apple please.

Sally:         You are so nice, it is my favorite fruit.

(Sally has one bite, suddenly she swoons.)

Lisa:          Oh, My. What happened?

Amy:         Sally? Sally? What’s going on?

They find out that Sally isn’t breathing. Lisa cries terribly. Finally, Amy reaches her goal. But…

Amy:         Ha ha ha… I’m the most beautiful woman now. Ha ha ha…

Lisa:          What are you talking about!?

Amy:         You still can not understand? All things are made by me! I cursed her to die! But the curse was wrong, so Sally didn’t die.

Lisa:          But… but she became a man! She is no more beautiful! Why you still wanted to kill her!?

Amy:         I can’t make sure whether she will recover or not! And… I hate her! I can’t tolerate her existence!!

Lisa:          How could you… how… I just found out that I love him! I can’t forgive you!!!

(Lisa runs to the kitchen and then takes a knife.)

Amy:         What are you doing!? Calm down!!

Lisa:          I can’t! I will kill you for my love.

(Lisa pounces and stabs on Amy.)

Amy:         Hahn………………..

Lisa:          Sally… I avenged… and now… I will follow you…you won’t be alone…

(Lisa picks the knife and pounces on her heart.)
