Daylight Saving, Issue 2: Part 3.1

Page 37

Panel 1: As they bend back to a standing position, a couple of quarters in the right hand, the shadow of the mystery person is visible in the background.

BRIE

(Cont.) Gotta love the little compartments on these purses. The jangling of the coins as I walk is incredibly annoying though. There's gotta be some better way to cancel out--

ERIC

Excuse me, hon. Looks like you could use some help.

Panel 2: Close-up on the mystery man ERIC's face and upper body, flashing a pair of quarters in his right hand.

ERIC

(Cont., confident smile) I had a Pepsi with lunch, and thought you might need a little--

Panel 3: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. He stops in the middle of his pick up line, realizing that Mx. Benoit isn't the "pretty woman" he thought from before.

ERIC

(suddenly nervous, looking to get out of there) Oh...sorry. I--I thought you were a woman I knew. I'll...

Panel 4: Brie turns back around to face the man, flashing the quarters comfortably as they lob over top of his line.

BRIE

(interjecting) No worries, dude. I've got plenty anyway. A little weird you'd come all this way to say it. But...at least you got enough for another Pepsi.

Panel 5: Back to Eric slipping the quarters back into his right jeans pocket; his look quickly shifting to mild disgust, eyeing the young person for a brief bit before turning back.

ERIC

...Right!

(under his breath, Bubble 2) Stupid ******* faggot...!

Panel 6: As he goes back to where he was, Mx. Benoit counters with a dismissing scoff and an eyeroll as they move back to start the printing process.

BRIE

Only a few weeks shy of a month...ducked that archaic nonsense longer than I thought I would.

Panel 1: Mx. Benoit stands in front of the printer a short time later, purse strap gripped in their right hand, watching as the page is printed out slowly but surely.

Caption

(Cont., Brie)

"Anyway, let's print and split. Still have to edit my face to keep my identity hidden."

Panel 2: As the young person turns and starts to head out, a sweet voice rings out from a few feet toward their direction.

KAYLA

(Off-Panel) Sweet looking skirt...

Panel 3: Cut to a shot of the person that voice belongs to- KAYLA PRINCE, a young woman only a few years older than Brie. She's dressed in a sharp Grunge outfit that compliments her curvy figure well; her hair in a blonde and pink pixie cut.

KAYLA

(Cont.) Didn't know there were still people rocking the androgynous look- suits you!

Panel 4: Brie blushes considerably at the sight of this woman's beauty, glancing down at the floor and partly in Kayla's direction as they come up with a response.

BRIE

(stammering) I--I'm actually, uh, Nonbinary. Which I'm--now that I think about it...might be the same thing. Or the same family.

Panel 5: Ms. Prince reaches out right in the middle of their thought, immediately eliciting a sense of calm on Mx. Benoit's face.

KAYLA

(flirty eyes) Take a breath, cutie. Whatever it is...suits you beautifully.

BRIE

(slight swoon) ...Th-Thank you!

KAYLA

(Bubble 2) Anytime.

Panel 6: Back to a close-up of the young woman's face a beat later, showing a slight swoon of her own as she speaks.

KAYLA

(Cont.) I'm Kayla, by the way.
