FADE IN
Act 1
INT. HOME - DAY
KAJI is shown two packets.
KAJI (V.O.): What are those brownish-gray things?
Kaji looks closely.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I like colours blue and yellow.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't mind colours black and white.
We hear SOMEONE saying: Bless!...Bless!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They're commands. I've to stand with my hind paws only.
As Kaji jumps to hold her front paws in the air, we hear: Well done! Again! Again!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't know why they like to have my blessings.
Act 2
EXT. PROMENADE - DAY
Leading the PACK LEADER & the GANG, Kaji is searching.
KAJI (V.O.): Finding is reserved for those that search.
Finding her favourite spots, Kaji begins to get light.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I begin to like this place.
Soon, Kaji bumps into a GROUP of Shiba Inu.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They must be having a party.
A white ONE attempts to engage Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): We haven't met before. Go away!
As the white one doesn't desist, Kaji barks at him.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm warning you! Stay away from me!
Looking frightened, the white one disengages.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): You see my true colour now!
INT. AWAY FROM HOME - DAY
Arriving, Kaji checks the place and see many PEOPLE.
KAJI (V.O.): I've been here before. They're having a party.
Soon, Kaji sees them exchanging the brownish-gray things.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't think there's food inside.
Recalling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): When I was showed the same earlier today, I was cheated.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I trust those giving the commands more than they deserve.
Thinking.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Why do they like to cheat each other?
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Isn't it a silly game people play once in a while?
Later, Kaji walks a KID along a long corridor for awhile.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm hungry.
Soon, a few treats are shown to Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, I can't wait to have them.
We hear someone saying: Bless!...Bless!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Here comes the difficult command again!
Hesitating.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Exerting my right muscles, I need to maintain good balance.
Kaji performs her standing position.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I always want to cheat if I can. But I won't get the treat if I can't hold my standing posture.
We hear someone saying: Hold it!
As Kaji succeeds in holding her standing posture, we hear people's laughter.
Act 3
INT. HOME - NIGHT
Kaji looks tired.
KAJI (V.O.): It's during the bad times that I'll get to see the true colours of people who say they care for me.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But I won't sacrifice my peace trying to point out their true colours. Lack of character always reveals itself in the end.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): And, as they might still be beneficial to my life, I'd give them my blessings.
FADE OUT
THE END
