Q&A
Have the QNA be the focus of this text, and answer each question, don’t put the story. But if the QNA asks to write a scene, then write it.
Questions and Answers: write as a list
– In the gas station, why was Leo feeling the way he felt when he bumped into someone, and when Alex was getting onto him for bumping into the person, was Leo scared because the person was irritated?
– Why is Leo scared of some of the stories, and crying?
– Why is Leo getting scared?
– Do Alex and Emily find amusement when Leo is scared, what about when he cries, like if Leo gets scared of some of the stories, do Emily and Alex find amusement in Leo crying, because of that?
– Is Owen scared, if so, what are some things he is, or could be, scared of, list some, and why, especially at the campsite?
– Is Owen scared of the campfire, or if he fascinated by it, is it at first Owen will start to whimper if he gets scared of the fire, will Owen be scared at first, but eventually be interested?
– Does Owen get scared of the scary stories, or is it Leo being scared that scares Owen?
– Where is everyone going to sleep at the campsite, list it? Owen will most likely be in a tent with his parents.
– When Leo bumped into the person, was the person nice or were they just irritated?
– What would have happened if the person Leo bumped into was angry and/or irritated, how would Leo react, what would Emily and Alex do, would Alex be mad (not at Leo, yes she is frustrated, but if the person is scolding Leo, Alex might want to protect him), especially if the person is saying things to Leo, especially since the way Leo feels?
– Will Leo still go and get his snacks even after he bumped into the person, will he not want snacks anymore, or will Alex tell Leo to go back to the car or something because of what Leo did, and Leo might have to wait till the next gas station stop to be able to get snacks from the gas station, state the reasons, and then list an outcome of each, also mention how Leo feels, will Leo whine if Alex doesn’t let him get snacks, when Leo has to head back to the car, how will he head back to the car, will he walk back with his head down, or will he run back to the car while possibly crying, which is the best outcome, and why does Leo feel this way about it, and why, why would he whine if he is told to go back to the car?
– At night, should Alex and Emily pull a prank, and scare Leo, but it’s just a little scare however, because they don’t want Leo to be affected, it’s just harmless fun, they may make sounds to scare Leo, Alex might play some scary sounds, and creature noises, and other things (but it has to be harmless, especially to how it will make Leo feel, has to be harmless as it’s intended to be a harmless prank), how will Leo react?
– Is Alex being too hard on Leo when she scolds him?
– Did Leo need to be scolded because of the gas station incident, why?
– Is Leo being annoying and disruptive, if so, why, and list some notable times he was?
– Why does Leo start crying when Alex and Emily make a story about him and his worst fears?
– Does Leo cry at scary stories, or does he only cry at the one that includes him and his worst fears, does Leo just get nervous and a little scared at normal scary stories (but doesn’t cry at normal scary stories), is Leo being scared, and his crying disruptive, is it annoying, to his parents and his sisters, would Leo need to stop if it disruptive, is it affecting things, like is it disrupting the peace, would it be disturbing the peace if the regular stories made him scared and cry?
– Does Leo always get his way, or does he not, how does he feel about this, and how does everyone else feel, is Alex glad, why?
– If Leo ends up wetting himself, why would he do it, and when (it’s not because of anything his sisters said, Leo would be scared of something else, like a nightmare for example), how would his sisters think, especially Alex, will Alex think it’s funny (at least would some part of her think that), what would be happening, especially with underwear, how do they all feel about the situation, especially the parents, Emily, Alex, and Leo, is this normal considering Leo’s age, or is Alex right about him ”
acting like a baby” (the quote is referring to earlier when Alex says Leo’s acting like a baby because of his behavior, Alex doesn’t nesscesarily say this, she might, but Alex would definitely be concerned for Leo, as Alex still cares about him)? Write a scene about this, followed by dialogue, and listed. When Leo is crying, he’s screaming like “Ahhhhh!”, Leo will most likely not cry like a baby. If Leo has to change his underwear, will he change it on his own, given his age, and is capable of doing it himself, or will he have help? Where is Owen during all of this, will the commotion wake-up Owen, if so, have that happen, they might have to take care of Owen. At first, Alice and David will up in their tents, they don’t know what’s going on, but they will be questioning what’s happening at first, so they will have to leave their tents to find out. They don’t find out Leo wet himself right away, Leo may say how he feels something (referring to him wetting himself, but he may or may not know, he’s not telling them that he wet himself, he just says he feels something). Alice is comforting Leo, David is also comforting Leo, but even they know Leo isn’t a baby (because he’s ten years old), but they still show concern, it’s mostly Alice who is comforting him, David is being supportive, and still showing concern and tries to help. The scene will most likely end with them going back to bed (Leo will fall asleep in his sleeping bag (maybe but that depends on if it is wet or not), and Alex and Emily talk about what just happened.
– If Leo has a nightmare, what would it be about, would he have a nightmare about being left behind at the campsite, or will it just be a normal nightmare, what will happen in the nightmare (like will the family start packing up, they leave, but Leo chases them), determine what happens? Eventually, Leo will be calmed down after the nightmare, after being comforted, determine if he still wants to go camping anymore (he’s not asked if he still wants to go camping, he’s just saying if he wants to or not). Write a scene about this, followed by dialogue, and listed. The nightmare isn’t caused by the scary stories told at the campfire, it might be caused because he’s a kid and he can get scared easily, Leo can sometimes have nightmares (because anyone can have nightmares sometimes), but Leo doesn’t necessarily have them all the time, and he certainly doesn’t wet the bed all the time. Leo is most likely in a sleeping bag, like everyone else.
– Does Leo cry like a baby, does he go “Waaaaah”, I think that would be considered crying like a baby, what do you think, does he do it?
– Is it funny when Alex and Emily tease Leo, especially at the campfire scene, or is it not funny?
– Does Leo’s responses to being scared, make Alex right about him “acting like a baby”, or is Alex right about Leo’s behavior in general, like if Leo is just being annoying?
– Are there times Emily and Alex actually think Leo is funny (especially if he is doing something silly), what are some things they would think is funny that Leo is doing, mention some?
– If Leo were to be singing, would Alex find it annoying?
– If Alex calls Leo a “brat”, how would Leo feel?
– Are there ever times where Alex is ever nice to Leo?
– If Leo is being disruptive, to the point where David has to tell Leo he will not be going camping if he continues this, what would Leo be doing to make David say that, what would happen, who would look after Leo then (like a relative or a neighbor that is friends with Alice and David), would David be in the right for this, is David saying that, and wouldn’t actually leave him, how would Leo feel, how would Alex feel?
– Are David and Alice always firm with Leo, or is it only when Leo does specific things, especially when he acts up?
– Is the family able to enjoy family trips, or is Leo too annoying, if so, why or why not?
There is a scene where the family goes on a camping trip during the weekend. The story will begin with them waking up in the morning to get ready. Throughout the trip, we will see some scenes in the car, sometimes they’ll stop at a couple gas stations on the way. When they arrive, David and Alice will put up the tents. There will be some scenes at the campfire, where they do stuff, later, they will tell stories, with some of them being scary (which I doubt scare Emily and Alex). 20,000 words, Dialogue only, extend the dialogue if you have to. Each scene is long. It’s a disaster in the morning.
There might be some scenes with Leo and Owen, especially when it’s just him and his parents and sisters aren’t in the room. Extend the scene, there will be multiple scenes. Leo might do something or say something to make Alex annoyed with Leo. This is before they finish packing and before they leave the house.
There are some scenes in the car where it is chaos (like Leo asking too many questions, kicking car seats, etc.). Extend the scene.
There are some scenes where Leo keeps kicking Alex’s seat, even after Alex told him more than once to stop, Alex tells Alice, but Leo still keeps kicking the seat, even after being told to stop by Alice, decide what happens next (David might have to interfere if Leo keeps ignoring Alice), extend the scene. Alice is trying to
Leo might have a reaction upon pulling into the gas station (this is not the first time he’s been to a gas station before) (like an excited scream (he might not be saying anything when he screams, it’s just loud), or something else (you’d have to decide)), which might be responded to, Alex might be annoyed, but she would most likely say it to herself.
Maybe there can be a scene in one of the gas stations, where Leo is running and bumps (and possible other things, list them) into someone, and that person tells him to watch it, which there be dialogue, including from the person (who may or may not be irritated, which there will be a lot of apologizing (especially from the sisters and/or Alice), and some facts about Leo (also some other facts about Leo and his behavior), which the stranger will respond (Note: Alice, Emily, Alex, and Leo go into the Gas Station to use the restroom (but they can get snacks, if they want to, Emily might pay for the snacks, Alice will go back to the car, while Emily, Alex, and Leo are in the store), it’s possible this scene could be before Alice heads back to the car. Extend the scene. Leo might be a little scared upon bumping into someone but list the other emotions he feels as well as the scene goes on. After the whole thing, Leo might be told something, while Alex is irritated and annoyed at Leo, which Leo will respond (lots of dialogue in this scene), Leo will then respond with his head down. Leo is sad, embarrassed, and a little scared.
There will be some scenes where Owen wants to see Alice, there might sometimes in the car ride, and at the campsite, Owen will either cry (but his sisters may not know what Owen wants or why he is crying, but they’ll try to help him, and they’ll ask if he wants to see his mother), or Owen will whimper and say “Mama!”, especially during the day time, but possibly at night too.
There will be scenes where they’ll all doing their things at the campsite, especially after everything is set up, Alex will either be on her phone and/or she’ll talking to Emily about teenage stuff (it’s possible Leo’s behavior would be brought up, but it might be because Leo is being annoying and loud as they are talking), there will be some scenes where Leo is running around, playing, and maybe exploring, and there will be some scenes where Owen is walking and/or crawling around, there will be some scenes where Owen might play with some stuff, some scenes where Owen is eating at the campsite, maybe he’ll try to drink stuff, but one of his sisters (most likely Alex) or Alice will see him and are just laughing, they might pick up Owen, there are some scenes where Owen is walking and he’s exploring (most likely by himself), have the exploring scene be focused on Owen’s exploration, and list everything he’s doing and the exploration, there could be dialogue from Owen (like giggling, babbling, and cooing for example), Owen might fall on his face while walking, but it won’t be an injury, Owen will just continue walking and exploring, after that scene, Alex will begin to wonder where Owen is, and they might look for him, but they’ll see that he is nearby and exploring, afterwards, Alex might talk to Emily about it, Alex might tell her mom about Owen exploring, extend the scenes. This will be during the daytime (campfire stories are at nighttime).
There will also be a scene (during the daytime, takes place either while the tents and everything is being set up, or after all of that is set up), Owen might be sitting on the ground playing with stuff, or he’ll be crawling around, he then sees Alice, and then crawls over to her while saying “Mama!”, Owen is excited and happy because he wants to see his mother, while Owen is walking towards his mother, she doesn’t see him (most likely because she is busy with something, and doesn’t notice Owen crawling towards her), Alice might be a little far away from where Owen is, decide what happens next, and extend the scene, especially the part where Owen walks to his mother.
It’s possible Alex and Emily might make up a story about Leo and his worst fears (mainly to tease Leo, and maybe to scare him), which Leo might react in fear, he’ll get scared, saying “Ahhhhhhh!”, prior to that, they might say some other stories about Leo (most likely embarrassing ones). Determine what Alice will say about the story about Leo and his worst fears, Alex and Emily will think it’s funny, but will Alice and David, if they do, then it will be clear they think it’s funny (at least I’d be clear if Daid thought it was funny), but if they don’t think it’s funny that will also be clear, it’s possible they may not think the scary story about Leo is funny, but they may think the embarrassing stories about Leo are funny, if so, it will be determined as the stories are being told. Alex and Emily are teasing Leo and laughing (yes, they probably tease him when he’s crying) and might be laughing (not necessarily in a mean way); like “Hahahaha!”, as the story goes on, Leo will be nervous, he might try to hide his fear at first, but as the story goes on, he starts getting scared, and eventually starts crying at the end of the story, Leo might run somewhere or to someone when he’s scared. While Leo is crying, Alex and Emily might call him something lie “A baby”, and asking questions like that, like “Do you need a diaper”, and other questions (mention them, there is a few of them). Alice might tell Alex and Emily not to tease Leo like that.
Description of how Leo feels when the story that contains him and his worst fears – At first Leo might be excited, because the story is about him, but as the story goes on, he gets nervous, but he’ll try and hide his fear, as the story goes on, Leo gets nervous, eventually Leo will get scared, as the story continues, Leo gets scared, and he’ll start saying he’s scared, and as the story progresses towards the end, Leo gets scared, and might tear up, as the story continues, Leo wants it to stop, he’s screaming and saying that he’s scared, and then at the end of the story, Leo starts crying, the story is finished, and Leo is crying, Alex and Emily begin to tease him, Leo is crying and is scared, Emily and Alex still tease Leo, but they’re just teasing him, Leo then runs and cries, while there is laughing (in a teasing way, not too be mean). Followed by dialogue, especially where the parts Leo gets scared.
Either before or during the part where they’re telling embarrassing stories, Alex might show a video she recorded (most likely in a public location), the others watch the video (yes, Leo also watches it), he video is Alex asking Leo to go over to see something (maybe get a picture with someone in a suit (maybe it’s a clown in the park), but Leo is scared of what the person is wearing, but he’s scared, include the dialogue from the video, the video is not that long, but it’s a few minutes long, determine what happens next in the video, and everyone’s reaction upon seeing it, extend the scene. Determine how long ago it was (like a few months ago, or a long time ago, possibly when Leo was younger, maybe it was years ago).
When getting around the campfire (before they start with the stories and marshmallows, and all of that), Owen at first, might be scared, he’ll whimper (he won’t cry or say anything, he’ll just be whimpering), Owen will snuggle into Alice’s chest, and he’s scared, Alice tries to calm Owen down, Owen is scared, and continues whimpering, Alice continues to try and calm down, Owen is still scared (mention what Owen is doing), Alice says something to calm Owen down, Owen is still scared, but as a few moments go by, he starts to get fascinated at the fire, he’ll be looking at it, he might even point to it, and a few moments try and verbally speak (but he’ll have trouble, though he does say words, he just has trouble saying that, he might say it more than once, but he will still have trouble), Alice will help him (especially with him speaking), while laughing, they then go back to looking at the fire.
Scenes in order: Each scene is very long.
– The sun shines
– Alice gets up

Notes: VERY IMPORTANT TO THE STORY
– Owen mostly speaks through “goo-goo gaga”, or just baby noises (like giggling and cooing), but he can sometimes speak verbally, but not fully. There is no dialogue when he makes baby sounds, or is upset, like sniffling for example. The only time he has dialogue is when he says, “goo-goo gaga”, when he tries to verbally speak, or when he cries.
– Whenever Owen cries the dialogue says “Waaaaaah!”. (this is reserved for when Owen cries)

– Whenever a character talks sometimes it says their expressions, example: Alex (annoyed), Leo (pouting), Owen (cooing), Owen (whimpering).

– Alex is really kind to Owen.
– Leo is told to shut up by Alex mostly, because Leo is being annoying. Alex might tell Leo to stop acting like a baby.
– Leo’s behavior add to the chaos of the morning.
– The order of everyone waking up: Alice and David wake up first, then Emily wakes up many minutes later, then Alex around 10 minutes, then around 15+ minutes, Leo wake up, then when they are all downstairs, Alice tells Alex to head up and go get Owen from his crib, which Alex is glad to be doing this (because Alex likes Owen).

– The sleeping arrangements at the campsite are – Alice and David are sleeping in a tent, Emily and Alex share a tent, Leo has his own tent, and Owen shares a tent with his parents.
– Leo most likely does not cry like a baby, especially given his age, so there for Leo does not cry like a baby. So, he cries like a kid his age.

Questions and Answers:
1. In the gas station, why was Leo feeling the way he felt when he bumped into someone, and when Alex was getting onto him for bumping into the person, was Leo scared because the person was irritated?
Leo felt a mix of embarrassment, fear, and guilt when he bumped into someone in the gas station. He was scared primarily because he was worried about the other person’s reaction, and whether they would be angry or upset with him. Alex’s scolding intensified these feelings, making him feel even more ashamed and anxious. While the other person’s irritation certainly contributed to Leo’s fear, his overall reaction stemmed from a general anxiety about social interactions and causing others displeasure.
2. Why is Leo scared of some of the stories, and crying?
Leo cries because he has a vivid imagination and is easily frightened by scary stories, particularly those that tap into his specific fears. The stories trigger strong emotional responses in him, overwhelming his ability to cope.
3. Why is Leo getting scared?
Leo’s fear is a result of his temperament; he is naturally sensitive and prone to heightened anxiety. He is also young and still developing coping mechanisms for dealing with frightening situations or content.
4. Do Alex and Emily find amusement when Leo is scared, what about when he cries, like if Leo gets scared of some of the stories, do Emily and Alex find amusement in Leo crying, because of that?
Alex and Emily find amusement in Leo’s fear and tears, but it’s not malicious. They see it as an opportunity to tease him playfully (though this is a questionable behavior), fueled by typical sibling dynamics and the enjoyment of seeing someone else’s reaction to something that doesn’t affect them the same way. Alice’s reaction suggests they are crossing a line.
5. Is Owen scared, if so, what are some things he is, or could be, scared of, list some, and why, especially at the campsite?
Owen, being a toddler, experiences fear differently than Leo. He might be scared of loud noises, sudden movements, the dark, being separated from his parents, or unfamiliar objects. At the campsite, the fire, unfamiliar sounds of the night, and being in an unfamiliar environment could all trigger his fear responses.
6. Is Owen scared of the campfire, or if he fascinated by it, is it at first Owen will start to whimper if he gets scared of the fire, will Owen be scared at first, but eventually be interested?
Owen is initially scared of the campfire, whimpering at its size and flickering flames. However, after a while, his curiosity overrides his fear, and he becomes fascinated, even pointing at it and trying to vocalize.
7. Does Owen get scared of the scary stories, or is it Leo being scared that scares Owen?
Owen doesn’t fully comprehend the scary stories themselves. He’s more likely to react to Leo’s visible fear, picking up on his distress cues and becoming frightened because of his brother’s reactions.
8. Where is everyone going to sleep at the campsite, list it? Owen will most likely be in a tent with his parents.
- Alice and David: Tent
- Emily and Alex: Tent
- Leo: Tent
- Owen: Tent with parents
9. When Leo bumped into the person, was the person nice or were they just irritated?
The story does not specify how the person reacted definitively. The text implies the person was at least mildly irritated, enough to cause Leo significant fear and anxiety.
10. What would have happened if the person Leo bumped into was angry and/or irritated, how would Leo react, what would Emily and Alex do, would Alex be mad (not at Leo, yes she is frustrated, but if the person is scolding Leo, Alex might want to protect him), especially if the person is saying things to Leo, especially since the way Leo feels?
If the person had been genuinely angry, Leo would have likely become terrified and withdrawn, possibly crying. Emily and Alex would most likely apologize profusely, trying to de-escalate the situation. Alex, while frustrated with Leo, would likely feel protective and intervene if the stranger was scolding Leo harshly, defending him from any unfair criticism or aggression.
11. Will Leo still go and get his snacks even after he bumped into the person, will he not want snacks anymore, or will Alex tell Leo to go back to the car or something because of what Leo did, and Leo might have to wait till the next gas station stop to be able to get snacks from the gas station, state the reasons, and then list an outcome of each, also mention how Leo feels, will Leo whine if Alex doesn’t let him get snacks, when Leo has to head back to the car, how will he head back to the car, will he walk back with his head down, or will he run back to the car while possibly crying, which is the best outcome, and why does Leo feel this way about it, and why, why would he whine if he is told to go back to the car?
-
Outcome 1: Leo still gets snacks. Leo’s desire for snacks might override his anxiety momentarily. He might feel a little better, though the incident will likely still weigh on his mind.
-
Outcome 2: Leo doesn’t want snacks anymore. His anxiety and embarrassment might suppress his appetite. He might feel relieved to avoid further interaction.
-
Outcome 3: Alex sends Leo back to the car. This is the most likely scenario, given Alex’s frustration. Leo will feel dejected and ashamed, likely whining about missing out on the snacks. He will most likely walk back to the car with his head down, possibly crying silently.
The best outcome is arguably Outcome 2; avoiding further interaction would help alleviate Leo’s anxiety. However, Outcome 3 might be a valuable teaching moment, although the execution needs to be handled carefully. Leo whines because he’s disappointed and feels unfairly punished, especially considering his already anxious state.
12. At night, should Alex and Emily pull a prank, and scare Leo, but it’s just a little scare however, because they don’t want Leo to be affected, it’s just harmless fun, they may make sounds to scare Leo, Alex might play some scary sounds, and creature noises, and other things (but it has to be harmless, especially to how it will make Leo feel, has to be harmless as it’s intended to be a harmless prank), how will Leo react?
Leo would likely react with a startled scream or jump, followed by either relief or continued anxiety, depending on the prank’s execution. Even a “harmless” prank could be upsetting to Leo, particularly given his existing anxieties, so it’s questionable if this is a good idea.
13. Is Alex being too hard on Leo when she scolds him?
Whether Alex is too hard on Leo is subjective. While her frustration is understandable, her approach could be overly critical, possibly worsening his anxiety rather than teaching him appropriate behavior. A more supportive and less judgmental approach would be beneficial.
14. Did Leo need to be scolded because of the gas station incident, why?
Leo needed to be reminded of the importance of paying attention to his surroundings and being mindful of others, but the approach should have emphasized empathy and understanding rather than harsh criticism. A scolding might not be the most effective method.
15. Is Leo being annoying and disruptive, if so, why, and list some notable times he was?
Yes, Leo is frequently portrayed as annoying and disruptive. This behavior likely stems from a combination of his age, energetic nature, and perhaps some underlying anxiety manifesting as attention-seeking behavior. Notable instances are his behavior in the car, gas station, and campsite.
16. Why does Leo start crying when Alex and Emily make a story about him and his worst fears?
The story directly confronts Leo’s anxieties and insecurities, triggering a strong emotional response and overwhelming him.
17. Does Leo cry at scary stories, or does he only cry at the one that includes him and his worst fears, does Leo just get nervous and a little scared at normal scary stories (but doesn’t cry at normal scary stories), is Leo being scared, and his crying disruptive, is it annoying, to his parents and his sisters, would Leo need to stop if it disruptive, is it affecting things, like is it disrupting the peace, would it be disturbing the peace if the regular stories made him scared and cry?
Leo’s reactions vary. While he might get nervous or scared at other scary stories, he only cries when the story directly involves him and his personal fears. His crying can be disruptive and annoying, especially at the campfire. While his parents show concern, his sisters show varying degrees of annoyance. He should be encouraged to manage his emotional response more appropriately.
18. Does Leo always get his way, or does he not, how does he feel about this, and how does everyone else feel, is Alex glad, why?
Leo does not always get his way. This frustrates him, leading to whining and tantrums. His parents try to teach him about compromise, but Alex is often glad when Leo doesn’t get his way, as this usually saves her from added annoyance.
19. If Leo ends up wetting himself, why would he do it, and when (it’s not because of anything his sisters said, Leo would be scared of something else, like a nightmare for example), how would his sisters think, especially Alex, will Alex think it’s funny (at least would some part of her think that), what would be happening, especially with underwear, how do they all feel about the situation, especially the parents, Emily, Alex, and Leo, is this normal considering Leo’s age, or is Alex right about him ”acting like a baby” (the quote is referring to earlier when Alex says Leo’s acting like a baby because of his behavior, Alex doesn’t nesscesarily say this, she might, but Alex would definitely be concerned for Leo, as Alex still cares about him)? Write a scene about this, followed by dialogue, and listed.
(Scene: Night at the campsite. Leo wakes up screaming from a nightmare. He’s wet himself.)
- SOUND: Leo screams, “Ahhhhh!”
- Alice: (Rushing to Leo’s tent) Leo! What’s wrong, honey?
- David: (Following Alice) What happened?
- Leo: (Crying) I… I had a bad dream! I… (stuttering) I… I wet myself.
- Alice: (Comforting Leo) It’s okay, sweetie. It’s alright. We’ll take care of it.
- David: (Getting Leo’s extra clothes) Let’s get you cleaned up.
- Alex: (Waking up, slightly annoyed) What’s all the commotion?
- Emily: (Also waking up) What’s going on?
- Alice: (After helping Leo change) He had a nightmare. He’s okay now.
- Alex: (Looking at Leo’s wet sleeping bag, a slightly concerned expression crossing her face) Oh.
- Emily: Poor Leo.
- David: (To Alex and Emily) You girls are going back to bed. I’ll take care of this.
- Alex: (As she and Emily crawl back into their tent) Can we have extra marshmallows tomorrow for putting up with this?
- Emily: Yeah, deal. Poor Leo, though.
- (Later, Alex and Emily are talking quietly in their tent.)
- Alex: (Quietly) That was a bit much, even for him. I mean, I would be kind of concerned.
- Emily: He’s ten. I don’t think that’s normal.
- Alex: Yeah, that was weird. I don’t think he wet the bed, or whatever it is he did, because of what I did, earlier. I’m not that mean!
- Emily: Yeah, I know, sis. It’s just… a lot.
Dialogue List:
- Leo: “Ahhhhh!”
- Alice: “Leo! What’s wrong, honey?”
- David: “What happened?”
- Leo: “I… I had a bad dream! I… (stuttering) I… I wet myself.”
- Alice: “It’s okay, sweetie. It’s alright. We’ll take care of it.”
- David: “Let’s get you cleaned up.”
- Alex: “What’s all the commotion?”
- Emily: “What’s going on?”
- Alice: “He had a nightmare. He’s okay now.”
- Alex: “Oh.”
- Emily: “Poor Leo.”
- David: “You girls are going back to bed. I’ll take care of this.”
- Alex: “Can we have extra marshmallows tomorrow for putting up with this?”
- Emily: “Yeah, deal. Poor Leo, though.”
- Alex: “That was a bit much, even for him. I mean, I would be kind of concerned.”
- Emily: “He’s ten. I don’t think that’s normal.”
- Alex: “Yeah, that was weird. I don’t think he wet the bed, or whatever it is he did, because of what I did, earlier. I’m not that mean!”
- Emily: “Yeah, I know, sis. It’s just… a lot.”
Leo, at ten, is not typically expected to wet the bed or his pants regularly. Alex’s concerns, while initially tinged with a slight amusement, are mostly valid. The incident highlights Leo’s heightened anxiety. Leo was capable of changing his own underwear. Owen slept through the whole ordeal.
20. If Leo has a nightmare, what would it be about, would he have a nightmare about being left behind at the campsite, or will it just be a normal nightmare, what will happen in the nightmare (like will the family start packing up, they leave, but Leo chases them), determine what happens? Eventually, Leo will be calmed down after the nightmare, after being comforted, determine if he still wants to go camping anymore (he’s not asked if he still wants to go camping, he’s just saying if he wants to or not). Write a scene about this, followed by dialogue, and listed.
(Scene: Leo is asleep in his sleeping bag. He starts to thrash and whimper.)
- SOUND: Leo whimpers, then cries out.
- Leo: (In his sleep, muffled) No! Wait! Don’t go!
- (In the nightmare, the family is packing up the campsite. Leo wakes up and realizes they’re leaving without him. He runs after the car, but it’s too fast.)
- Leo: (In his sleep) Dad! Mom!
- (Leo wakes up in a cold sweat, screaming.)
- Leo: (Screaming) AHHHHH!
- Alice: (Rushing to his tent) Leo! What is it, honey?
- David: (Running over) Leo, what’s wrong?
- Leo: (Crying) I… I had a nightmare! They left me!
- Alice: (Hugging Leo) They wouldn’t leave you, sweetie. We’re right here.
- David: (Rubbing Leo’s back) You’re safe now.
- Leo: (Sniffling) But… the car… they were gone.
- Alice: It was just a bad dream, love. You’re okay.
- Leo: (Calming down) I… I don’t want to go camping anymore.
Dialogue List:
- Leo (sleep): “No! Wait! Don’t go!”
- Leo (sleep): “Dad! Mom!”
- Leo: “AHHHH!”
- Alice: “Leo! What is it, honey?”
- David: “Leo, what’s wrong?”
- Leo: “I… I had a nightmare! They left me!”
- Alice: “They wouldn’t leave you, sweetie. We’re right here.”
- David: “You’re safe now.”
- Leo: “But… the car… they were gone.”
- Alice: “It was just a bad dream, love. You’re okay.”
- Leo: “I… I don’t want to go camping anymore.”
21. Does Leo cry like a baby, does he go “Waaaaah”, I think that would be considered crying like a baby, what do you think, does he do it?
No, Leo doesn’t cry like a baby. He cries in a way consistent with a ten-year-old, expressing fear and distress through sobs and cries. The “Waaaaah” sound is reserved for Owen, the toddler.
22. Is it funny when Alex and Emily tease Leo, especially at the campfire scene, or is it not funny?
Their teasing is not funny; it is insensitive and potentially harmful to Leo’s emotional well-being, especially considering his heightened anxiety.
23. Does Leo’s responses to being scared, make Alex right about him “acting like a baby”, or is Alex right about Leo’s behavior in general, like if Leo is just being annoying?
Leo’s fear responses don’t necessarily make Alex right about him “acting like a baby.” While Leo’s behavior is sometimes annoying, his emotional reactions are age-appropriate, though perhaps exaggerated by his heightened anxiety. Alex’s judgment is harsh and lacks empathy.
24. Are there times Emily and Alex actually think Leo is funny (especially if he is doing something silly), what are some things they would think is funny that Leo is doing, mention some?
There might be rare occasions when Emily and Alex find Leo funny, perhaps if he does something unintentionally silly or clumsy, but these moments would be fleeting and likely overshadowed by their overall annoyance with his more disruptive behaviors.
25. If Leo were to be singing, would Alex find it annoying?
Alex would likely find Leo’s singing annoying, particularly if it’s off-key, loud, or disruptive.
26. If Alex calls Leo a “brat”, how would Leo feel?
Leo would feel hurt and possibly angered if Alex called him a “brat.” He might retaliate with annoyance or sadness.
27. Are there ever times where Alex is ever nice to Leo?
Yes, there are moments when Alex shows kindness toward Leo, but these are often overshadowed by her frustration and annoyance with his behaviors. Her affection is present but often masked by her exasperation.
28. If Leo is being disruptive, to the point where David has to tell Leo he will not be going camping if he continues this, what would Leo be doing to make David say that, what would happen, who would look after Leo then (like a relative or a neighbor that is friends with Alice and David), would David be in the right for this, is David saying that, and wouldn’t actually leave him, how would Leo feel, how would Alex feel?
Leo’s disruptive behavior could involve tantrums, constant whining, ignoring instructions, or causing chaos throughout the packing process. David’s threat is a tactic to control the situation, but it’s unlikely he would actually leave Leo behind. Leo would feel scared and upset, possibly crying or begging to go. Alex would probably be relieved, though also slightly concerned that Leo’s behavior is escalating to this level.
29. Are David and Alice always firm with Leo, or is it only when Leo does specific things, especially when he acts up?
David and Alice are firm with Leo only when he misbehaves; they generally try to be supportive and understanding but maintain boundaries.
30. Is the family able to enjoy family trips, or is Leo too annoying, if so, why or why not?
Leo’s behavior significantly impacts the family’s enjoyment of their trips. While they love Leo, his disruptive actions frequently create tension and stress, making it harder for them to relax and enjoy quality time together.
