Once upon a time, in a house filled with toys and laughter, there lived a bright-eyed boy named James. His world spun with whimsy and dreams, much like a carousel of delight.
James was but six years old, with a heart full of wonder and feet ready for adventure. His favorite pastime? Drawing pictures of the world he saw, both near and afar.
One evening, as the moon painted the sky in silvery hues, James's mother peeped into his room. Her face broke into a gentle smile, seeing another masterpiece blooming on his canvas.
NARRATOR (V.O.) Once upon a time, in the tender years of childhood, there was a boy named James. His world was simple yet profound, marked by an admiration for a girl who played on the swings.
MOTHER James, that's a beautiful drawing. Who's the girl? JAMES (shyly) That's Lucy. She's in my class.
FLASHBACK - EXT. PLAYGROUND - DAY Young James watches Lucy, a girl with bright eyes and a warm smile, as she swings back and forth under a sky so blue it seemed painted.
Lucy’s laughter filled the air, a melody to James's ears. She was like a radiant sunbeam, and her movements were as graceful as a swan's dance on a serene lake.
James, likes a ship to a lighthouse, was drawn to Lucy's bright presence. He secretly admired her courage and the cheerful light she seemed to bring to everything around her.
James often felt butterflies in his tummy, like a fluttering rainbow, whenever Lucy was near. Her simple smiles would turn his day into a fantastical adventure.
One day, as they played together, Lucy turned to James and said, LUCY Let’s be friends forever and ever! JAMES (happily) Yes, forever and ever!
From that moment on, their hearts were like two peas in a pod, filled with joy, laughter, and endless adventures. The world seemed larger, brighter, and more wonderful when they were together.
And so, under the vast sky that stretched like a blue blanket over their heads, James and Lucy shared a bond that was pure, true, and full of innocent admiration.
