CAP:
4 days after her shoot with Sweetside Magazine …
Panel 1: Jane decides to find herself an agent who will take care of all the offers. She finds that agent, in Kurt James.
KURT:
Miss Allen, as I’m sure you know, you are now a very popular figure in this town, and are probably the biggest athlete to ever be in this place. There are a lot of offers here, I will review them and decide which seem good, and which are not worth it. I’ll let you know in a few days.
JANE:
Good, I really need to get back to my workout, I feel so weak … like everyone else, I feel like a wimp …. Time to hit the gym.
Panel 2: Jane arrives at the gym, and does a few hours on the treadmill, and just as she is finishing with that, her phone rings.
SFX:
Janes cell phone ringing ….
JANE:
Hello …
KURT:
Miss Allen, its Kurt James here, among the offers here is a TV show offer, you would be the lead character … I feel you need to review it, it may be something worth the time. I will forward the details.
Panel 3: Jane arrives home, and goes to her laptop to review the details, a lead role in a TV show, similar to ‘Speed Racer’ , except she would use her feet, and her speed would be exaggerated … the title is ‘She-Speedster’. She decides to meet with the executives.
CAP:
TV Network Head Office ….

EXECUTIVE:
Miss Allen, we are prepared to make you the lead star, you can read the terms of the offer in the contract in front of you.
JANE:
I’m sorry … this is below me … I’m the biggest thing to ever be seen in this wimpy little town. My career is worth more then this crappy TV show.
Panel 4: The executive stands up in shock, but before he can make them leave, Kurt tries to make it right.
KURT:
Listen, listen, my client is clearly expecting a little more, is there any way to make it happen?
EXECUTIVE:
Yes, I should tell you that Miss Allen is the only one the company wants in this role, they believe she is the perfect fit. Therefore I am prepared to double the offer on that sheet.
Panel 5: Jane immediately smiles, and shakes his hand, and the deal is done. Its not long afterwards that her arrogance once again makes an appearance.
Panel 6: Jane arrives home, and posts on social media about how she is bigger then the show she is leading, and she is the reason the show will succeed.
CAP:
45 minutes later ….
SFX:
Jane phone rings …..
EXECUTIVE:
Miss Allen, after much review, and seeing your social media pages, we are making our offer null and void, we will seek a new actress. Thank you.
Panel 7: Jane sits in with a blank look. The offer of a lifetime, the chance to make a lot of money … and she just tossed it all away because of her huge ego.
CAP:
Her career as a track and field star is essentially over, and her TV career never got started … Jane decides to leave Sweetside and start fresh, in a small place called Lanville Township.

CAP:
The next day ….
Panel 13: Janes second place finish has suddenly made her a darling to the townspeople. She is now the center of all media, and soon becomes too busy with media to continue training, and soon loses her workout routine.
Panel 14: Jane is soon surprised to hear from a local agency looking to do a shoot with her, and the offer they make her is one she can not refuse. The attention and media only adds to her already inflated ego, and the arrogance that has driven all her friends away from her.
