1. INT. FINCH'S ROOM - EARLY MORNING

The room is dark; Finch lays face-down on a double bed. The side opposite to him appears as though someone has tried to make the bed around his sleeping form. The digital clock reads 6 AM. There is a loud banging on the door.

VEIRNRY (O.S)

Get up!

Finch stirs somewhat, but makes no move to get out of bed or open his eyes.

VEIRNRY (O.S)

Finch! Get the hell up and out here now, or I'm leaving without you!

Finch flicks a switch and the blinds rise automatically. The sunlight streams into the room, causing him to shield his eyes as he sits on the edge of the bed.

FINCH

Ugh.

VEIRNRY (O.S)

You're awake. Rest of it's not my job.

FINCH

Seras?

He rubs his eyes blearily and looks to the other side of the bed, noting that it is already made. He sighs and stands. Behind him, the door slides open. Veirnry stands, leaning against the door frame.

VEIRNRY

She's long gone, man.

Finch whirls around, taken by surprise.

FINCH

Dude!

VEIRNRY

What? It's fine, you don't sleep naked or anything. Hurry up and change so we can go.

FINCH

Yeah. Okay.

(He turns back towards the wardrobe)

She leaves so early, you know? I feel like I barely see her anymore and now I'm leaving and she's gone again?

Veirnry stays silent and looks down at the floor. Finch puts on a shirt and jeans, adding a jacket with the Air Ship Captain insignia emblazoned on the sleeve as he turns back to Veirnry.

FINCH

(he pushes past Veirnry into the hallway)

Let's just go.

The two men leave the room. The door slides shut behind them.

2. OUTSIDE FINCH'S BUILDING - MORNING

Veirnry slings a bag over his shoulder. Finch carries nothing, save for his wallet which he pulls out of his jacket pocket. As he flips open the wallet, he reveals a picture of a woman. He flips it shut again after a moment. The two men continue to walk.

VEIRNRY

She'll be here when you get back, man. What's 365 days in space anyway?

(he rolls his eyes as Finch grimaces)

I get it, you love her and whatever.

FINCH

And whatever. Yeah.

Veirnry punches Finch on the shoulder in an affectionate manner.

VEIRNRY

Seras is a grown woman, I'm sure she can take care of herself while we're all gone. She's got The Guild, she'll be fine.

Veirnry glances over his shoulder, back the way they've come. Finch is silent and pays no attention to his friend. Behind them, Seras emerges from a shop doorway. She hurries towards them.

SERAS

Daydreaming again, Finch?

FINCH

Ser! Where were you? Where did you... I thought you left for training or interviews or...

(they embrace)

I'm so glad you're here.

VEIRNRY

You guys are making me sick.
Oh dear god I appologise profusely for the ugly, ugly formatting of this. I coped it straight from my scriptwriting program and let\'s just say it didn\'t translate so well onto dA\'s formatting.

MORE UNI WORK HOORAY. This means it will probably be re-written and re-worked a thousand times.

It\'s possible that you can also expect another one or two of these in the next couple of days since my assignment was actually to write between 2-4 scenes, due Friday (tomorrow, oh god...) and so far I\'ve written... just this one. I\'m such an awful student.

I also appologise for the terrible quality of writing and general lack of talent at writing scripts; it\'s my first time guys D: And I write far too much like a novellist. I do not have the minimalistic touch of a screenwriter.

OTL

I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless!

Ideas, characters and writing (c) me. So. Yeah.
