Fade in to a train speeding down track. Fade in through the window to a kid sitting in the train. Cut to a man and a woman sitting in an aisle across him. The boy is 13 and looks very bored. The man and the woman are his parents. Jim: How much longer until we get there? This trip is taking forever. His Dad: We only have about five minutes left. I think you’re really going to like the Obama inaguaration. Jim: I just don’t get why it’s so important that we come all of the way down here with swarms of people just to see this inauguration! His Mom: You just don’t get it Jim, I’m sure you’ll understand. Dad: We’re just pulling in to the station right now, get ready to get your bags, Jim: Oh great, this train is full and I can already see all the people outside. Mom: We’ll take a taxi to our hotel. We are lucky that we got a hotel room because so many people wanted one. Dad: Okay everyone follow me. The train stops and the people get out. Dad, Mom and Jim get in a taxi. The taxi pulls away. Cut to Dad, Mom, and Jim stepping into the hotel. Hotel Secretary: Hello can I help you? Dad: We booked a room here and our name is Smith. Hotel Secretary: Okay right this way. The Smiths enter the room and look around. It is completely dark by now. Mom: We definitely need a lot of rest for tomorrow. Dad: Good night everyone. Dad reaches over and turns out the light Cut to the Smiths exiting the hotel. They make their way towards a nearby subway station. Jim: This might be the most crowded subway I’ve ever been on. Dad: Once we get to Capitol Hill we can settle in. They get into the train with a lot of other people. Once they are able to get out. They go up some stairs and start to make their way towards Capitol Hill. They were soon joined by many other people. They were early and the inauguration was due to start in fifteen minutes. They gave their tickets to the men standing nearby, and tried to get a decent view. Jim: If only I was a bit taller I could actually see what’s going on. Dad: Don’t worry, you’ll be able to see everything. A young man who was standing near them then spoke up. Young man: This is amazing to actually be at. Dad: Oh definitely. This day is very special. What’s your name? Young man: My name is Ronnie. Where are you guys from? Mom: We’re from Pennsylvania. We decided to come down here to see the inauguration with Jim here. Jim: I don’t really know a thing about what’s going on. Ronnie: Well you’re lucky you get a chance to come here. I know a million people willing to take your spot right now. This is our first African-American president. Jim: Yah, I guess you’re right. Ronnie: Don’t worry, all you have to do is listen and you’ll understand. The inauguration was about to begin. There was an unbelievable buzz in the air. One by one people stepped up to the stand. Jim stood there the entire time and listened. He listened to every word and he knew what they meant. All you had to do was have common sense. The inauguration was almost over and he never regretted for a second that he went. The inauguration was over and Jim was satisfied. Ronnie: That’s history right there. Dad: Nice to meet you Ronnie. (Ronnie starts to walk away but is still facing them) Ronnie: Remember what I said too Jim. Jim: Don’t worry I will.

Ronnie walks away. You can see Jim, Dad and Mom walking away, and Ronnie in the other direction. American flags are waving, and Jim is happy. The End
