00:00Hello, my name is Charlie. I'm a famous filmmaker and director, but you know me already, don't you?

00:07Oh, well, it hasn't always been like this anyway.

00:10So sit down, grab some popcorn, and let me tell you my story.

00:14But before we start, please hit the like button and subscribe.

00:18This is me, Charlie, and this is my best friend, Rose.

00:21Me and Rose grew up together since we were only babies.

00:24We played together, we went to school together, we did everything together.

00:28We were like autumn and colds, unavoidable, like rain and thunder, indivisible.

00:34Rose was the sister I never had. I was, to her, the brother she never...

00:39Well, you got the point.

00:41She was blonde while I was black, she was shy while I was sunny, she had a big brain while I had a big butt.

00:49We fit perfectly together.

00:51Most of all, we had one dream in common.

00:53One day, we would become filmmakers and make movies about witches.

00:59Yes, that was our dream at the time, our common goal in life.

01:04And we were all ready to get it realized.

01:06But what a tragic fate awaited us.

01:09Well, I'm being a bit overly traumatic here, but please, let me explain.

01:14It was our last year in high school and a few weeks before Halloween.

01:17I was reaching my classroom like every morning when Rose came running toward me.

01:21Charlie! Charlie!

01:23Rose, what?

01:24Charlie!

01:25Rose!

01:26Charlie!

01:27Rose?

01:27Charlie!

01:28Barely breathing, Rose managed to announce to me that the school had opened a cinematographic contest

01:33where the winners would be enrolled in the best movie school in the country.

01:37We started screaming.

01:39At that point, me and Rose already had tens of scripts ready.

01:43We simply chose one and brought it in the next morning to our art professor to have it approved.

01:47But instead, there stood Mona, high like a giraffe, dressed like a rock star, and loud like a tempest.

01:55Who is Mona, you ask?

01:57She's the daughter of a famous celebrity couple, a movie producer dad, and a five-star actress mom.

02:04She had the best connections, the best grades, and the best face.

02:09A cloud of desperation came upon us when we saw her just talking to the teacher, explaining her project for her script.

02:16We felt lost.

02:18When our turn came, I spoke for both of us because Rose was too shy to speak, and the sight of Mona shook her too much.

02:24Hey, Charlie.

02:25Nice job there.

02:27What?

02:28Mona was approaching me, willing to talk.

02:30Had I stumbled, hit my head, and fallen into a dream without noticing?

02:34Sorry.

02:35I couldn't help but listen to your script while you were explaining.

02:38It seems like some hot stuff there.

02:40Did you come up with it all by yourself?

02:42Well, me and Rose.

02:44Yes.

02:45It seems you have a promising future in the business, baby.

02:48Would you mind joining me tonight at my party?

02:50There will be producers, movie stars, and many important people.

02:55I couldn't believe it was happening.

02:57It was too much for me, and all at once.

02:59Of course.

03:00Me and Rose will be there for sure.

03:02Rose?

03:03I'm sorry.

03:04I don't want someone who is barely able to speak in public to be associated with me.

03:09You are invited.

03:11See you later, baby.

03:12She left like the tornado she was, leaving both me and Rose speechless.

03:17I tried to console my best friend, convincing her this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could help us both.

03:23Rose nodded her head, but her look told me something else.

03:27I pretended not to see it and went straight to the party.

03:30This was an occasion I just simply couldn't afford to lose.

03:33Mona's house was not exactly a house.

03:36It was a castle.

03:37A gigantic manor with a park, four towers, and two pools.

03:41All over the place, men in elegant suits and shiny-looking women talked to each other cheerfully.

03:47Oh dear, you've arrived.

03:49Sir, lady, nice to meet you.

03:52I'm so glad you invited me.

03:54That man and woman were Mona's parents.

03:57They look amazing together.

03:58A perfect couple in a perfect house.

04:01Everything was perfect in Mona's life.

04:03Shiny and bright.

04:05Like herself.

04:06Please, enough with the pleasantries.

04:08You're part of the family now.

04:10Mona told us all about the project you're working on together.

04:14The project?

04:15Of course.

04:17I told mom and dad we are working on an amazing movie.

04:20We will win the contest for sure.

04:22I didn't know what to say.

04:24I was totally caught unprepared.

04:26So I just smiled and said nothing.

04:29Mona's parents left us soon and I immediately reached after her.

04:32Mona, what did you tell them?

04:34Well, that we work together.

04:37Isn't that true?

04:38But I already work with Rose.

04:39Didn't you know that?

04:40She's my best friend.

04:41I can't just leave her like this.

04:43Mona just smiled and washed the problem away with a swing of her hand.

04:47You create too many problems, baby.

04:50Can't you just work with us both?

04:51Come on, let's have fun.

04:53I'm ashamed to admit, but the truth is that I forgot Rose for some time.

04:58And quite easily.

04:59I just loved to be asked about my history and my interests by all these interesting people there.

05:05The future was winking at me and I just couldn't resist.

05:08Then I saw him.

05:10How to describe the finch that came to perch on my branch?

05:13He was like a god in a garden on Olympus.

05:17He was like a breeze on a hot summer day.

05:20He was like a...

05:21Well, that horse was hot, girls.

05:24You can bet about it.

05:26That angel had dark eyes like enchantment and such a fine, elegant beard.

05:32I was totally captured.

05:34He must have noticed my dumb expression because he started smiling at me as if trying to help me retrieve some of my dignity.

05:41Too late.

05:41And Charlie, let me introduce you to my brother Tom.

05:45So you are the famous Charlie.

05:47A handsome lady, that's for sure.

05:49Nice to meet you.

05:49Is he really going to kiss my hand?

05:51Is he really...

05:52Oh god, I'm fainting!

05:54I'm fainting!

05:55Am I famous?

05:57How?

05:58Of course.

05:59Mona has talked about you all afternoon.

06:01Mona, can I steal this lady from you for some time?

06:03Do as you please, brother.

06:04But be a good boy.

06:06I always am.

06:07Mona, don't scare our hoes like this.

06:09The walk with Tom around the garden felt like a dream.

06:12He was not only handsome in sight, but also elegant, charming, and kind.

06:18His fierce appearance was balanced by such a quiet temper that it made him look like the perfect man in every single way imaginable.

06:24Hours passed in a flash, like seconds.

06:28Come back soon, baby!

06:29We're here for you anytime you want.

06:32Couldn't wait to be invited again!

06:34The image of Tom was still in my eyes when I woke up.

06:37And even if I don't remember it with certainty, I can bet I dreamed about him.

06:42How did it go?

06:42Rose's soft voice reached me as if coming from far, far away when she met me in the corridors at school.

06:48I felt happy to see her, but not so happy as I should have been.

06:53I think she noticed, but I kept it a secret.

06:56I explained to her all that happened the night before, and promised to meet her within a few days in order to complete our script.

07:02The plot was there, but so much work had yet to be done.

07:05Fine then.

07:06See you soon.

07:07See ya!

07:07Those were busy times for me.

07:10In the daytime, I met Mona to work on her...

07:12our...

07:13script for the contest.

07:15At night, I often saw Tom.

07:17Mona's script was completely different from mine.

07:20Her subject was Barbie.

07:22Barbie!

07:23Can you believe it?

07:24What's wrong with that?

07:25Barbie was a paradigm of freedom for girls, don't you know?

07:29Mona's fantasy was wild.

07:31She had a lot of ideas, but none of them were connected to her.

07:34Her thoughts were as chaotic and impulsive as she was.

07:38Without me, she would have been lost.

07:40But what about Rose?

07:42Without me, she would have been lost, too.

07:44She was smart and nerdy, but she didn't have the creativity I had.

07:48Rose had always been my best friend and sister, and even if Mona's spell and Tom's charm were still upon me like magic crows,

07:55I started to feel bad about how easily I abandoned my lifelong friend in order to get a quick ticket to success.

08:01The moment of the contest was approximating, and I had to speak with Mona about this.

08:06I would have helped her with her project, but I had to participate in a team with Rose.

08:10And if Mona didn't want Rose, I would leave the Barbies in order to go back to the witches.

08:16I found the courage and spoke to Mona.

08:18Can you imagine a dragon's reaction to someone trying to steal his gold from under his throne?

08:26The same was Mona's reaction to my words, if not worse.

08:29Out of my house!

08:31Never come back again!

08:33I will eat you!

08:35Do you think I'm being overly dramatic again?

08:37You weren't there, my friend.

08:39I think I barely saved my own life.

08:41I'm lucky to be here to tell the story.

08:43Yet, I felt happy after arriving home.

08:46I felt I had done the right thing.

08:47Now, there was only Tom to speak to.

08:50Even if I liked him, our time had to wait until after the contest was finished.

08:54I couldn't subtract any more energy from Rose and our witchy project.

08:58I mean, there can be only one Dua Lipa in the world, right?

09:02Enough with Barbie.

09:04Hey, Angel.

09:04Tom's words were honey poured all over me.

09:07I melted.

09:08But hey, not this time.

09:10I had serious work to do.

09:11Listen, Tom, there's something we must talk about.

09:14Something like what?

09:15Did I do something wrong?

09:16No, it's not about you.

09:18It's about Mona.

09:19My sister, huh?

09:20She always was more like a Shrek than a Barbie.

09:23She's not that bad, but I can't be her teammate for the contest.

09:27Rose is my teammate.

09:29You and Mona are wonderful.

09:30You live in an amazing house.

09:31Your life is perfect, but...

09:33Tom's eyes went big and sad at those words of mine.

09:36Maybe it was the wrong thing to say, but how could I know?

09:39From what I had seen up to that moment, their lives were like pink molasses.

09:43Disgustingly sugary.

09:45Do you really think our life is wonderful, honey?

09:47You know so little about us.

09:49What do you mean?

09:50While walking, Tom told me how he and Mona had lived since they were children.

09:54How harsh their parents had been on them since their youngest age.

09:58They do that for us.

09:59They push us towards obtaining the best grades and the best results in every field.

10:02But you know, sometimes the best is not the best.

10:06Sometimes you would just like to live a normal life.

10:08This is why Mona loves Barbie so much, maybe?

10:11It's a way for her to remain a child.

10:13Tom's eyes were not lying.

10:15I took his hand and kept it between mine for some time.

10:18Still, a wrong behavior remains a wrong behavior.

10:21Mona will have to grow up sooner or later.

10:23You were a strong girl and made the right choice today.

10:26I'm proud of you, Charlie.

10:27At that point, I was melting again.

10:29The perfect features of Tom's figure were silhouetted against the moon,

10:33like a character from some gothic tale.

10:35I felt Tom's body pressing against mine while he brought my head gently against his chest.

10:40He's going to kiss me, finally.

10:42He's going to kiss me.

10:43Instead, he simply kept my head there for some time, caressing my neck.

10:48No more.

10:49Nothing more.

10:50W-T-H?

10:52Listen, Charlie.

10:53There's something I must say to you, too.

10:55I was eager to listen to his confession, but my phone rang at that exact moment.

11:00Rose!

11:01I totally forgot about our appointment.

11:03Rose would be furious.

11:05Yes, she was.

11:06For several days, every attempt of mine to make peace with her went in vain.

11:10The contest was lost at that point.

11:12There was no chance to win against Mona and her Barbie-stuffed stuff.

11:16The days up to the contest flew by fast and dull.

11:19We knew we had lost.

11:21Now, you really can't imagine my surprise when Rose and I found that on the notice board of the school,

11:27there was a list of the winning projects.

11:28And the first one was about witches.

11:32As authors, it had three names.

11:34Rose, Charlie, and Mona.

11:37A coincidence?

11:38Of course not.

11:40It was our project.

11:41We won!

11:43But we didn't submit it, of course.

11:46So who did?

11:47The question puzzled us for some time, until we received a phone call from a strangely masked voice.

11:53Oh dear.

11:54She tried hard to excuse herself for her behavior in the most recent times.

11:59Her voice didn't disclose her origin, but it wasn't too much of a guess.

12:03Mona.

12:03We found out with certainty later, when the three of us, plus Tom, met together at the back of the school to talk about the matter.

12:11Mona looked like a baby.

12:12She cried all the time and told us she felt guilty for how she treated Rose after Tom had talked to her.

12:18To get her excused, instead of her script, Mona submitted a copy of ours, proposing it as if it had been worked upon by the three of us.

12:25Of course, it won.

12:27It was written by me, after all.

12:29But this wasn't the only news of the day.

12:30Tom, don't you have something you want to say?

12:34Yes, well, Charlie, I have a confession to make.

12:37Oh yes, finally!

12:38The bomb was going to explode.

12:40The moment I expected for days and days finally arrived.

12:44After such a tragic story, I was going to have my sweet piece of cake after all.

12:49Yes, Tom, tell me, please!

12:53I have a crush on Rose.

12:54Oh Tom, yes!

12:55A crush on...

12:57Wait, what?

12:58I really didn't know how to say it, but now I can't keep it a secret anymore.

13:02I like you, Rose.

13:03Would you like to go out on a date with me sometime?

13:05I couldn't believe it!

13:06Rose went red like a tomato and I was shocked.

13:09Mona was laughing hard and her joy expanded contagiously.

13:12So this was the secret?

13:14I should have felt offended, but the occasion was so joyful that I felt too happy for Rose

13:20to be concerned about myself.

13:22All's well that ends well?

13:24Mona and I went on enough, becoming best friends, and we went to college together.

13:28You know, sometimes things take such an unpredictable turn that the only thing to do is sit back,

13:34relax, and watch the events unfold as if they were a movie.

13:38And isn't life a long, tear-jerking, and magical movie itself?

13:43Oh God, I can't believe what an incredible artist I am.

13:47Really?
