Scene # 1
Anna: Most babies are accident. Drinking too much at a party is an accident. Not me…I was born for a very specific purpose, which was to save my sister’s life. Scientists managed to hook up my mother’s eggs and my father’s sperm and were able to create a specific combination of precious genetic materials.
Narrator: Anna, a very special little girl, was born for a special reason.
(Going back in time)
Brian/Sara (sad voice): Doctor, is there any way that we can make Kate in a better condition? Help us… please!
Doctor: There is one way… but it might not work…
Sara: we will do whatever it takes us to help Kate… What is it?
Doctor: We can produce a certain genetic material for Kate by combining your sperm and your egg. The odds are really low but do you want to try it?
Sara: Uh....... Yes please.
Doctor: Ok… Let’s do this.
Narrator: This was how Anna was born to rescue her big sister, Kate.
Scene # 2
(Anna comes into Campbell’s office)
Anna: My sister is dying, and my mother wants me to donate one of my kidneys to her.
Campbell: Wait.. So what are you talking about Anna?
Anna: I’m telling you, my parents don’t even care about me. The only reason I’m alive is because my mother wanted me to become a perfect donor for Kate, and now she needs me to donate my organs to her.
Campbell: Anna, no one can make you donate an organ if you don’t want to.
Anna (sarcastically): Oh really.
Campbell: Yes, really. Did you even talk to your parents about why you don’t want to donate a kidney?
Anna: They don’t listen to me.
Campbell: They might, if you tell them that this is a crime.
Anna: They don’t really pay attention to me except when they need my blood or when Kate is in danger.
Campbell: So Anna, why are you here?
Anna: I’m here to find a lawyer! You! I want you to be my lawyer to represent me in court against my parents. How much do I have to pay?
Campbell: I charge two hundred dollars an hour. But for this case, the money isn’t important for me.
Anna: You can’t be my lawyer for free. I will polish your doorknobs then.
Campbell: Well I guess if you want to. Well then I’ll be seeing you soon, to start on our case.
(Anna leaves the office)

Scene #7
(setting is in court, and Campbell, Anna, and Sara are talking to the judge)
Sara: Excuse me Judge, but my daughter, Anna, no longer wishes to continue this case.

Campbell: Anna what are you talking about? Didn’t you hire me to be your lawyer?
Anna: Well um…
Sara: We just talked with each other and decided that we don’t want to do this anymore.
Anna: Actually… I still want to do this…
Campbell: Good.
Sara: (looks extremely surprised)
Judge: Well we will be continuing the case soon, please take a break.
(Everyone exits)
Scene # 8
(In the courtroom)
Sara: Brian Why aren’t you here? Are you that busy to come?
Campbell: It’s ok, we are going to win this case.
Judge: We are all here to decide on Anna’s case. First, lets hear about Anna’s position. Mr. Campbell?
Campbell: I believe that Anna should win this case because she has been suffering for the past 13 years giving up her organs to Kate, her sister. And she has been treated like a test experiment.
Judge: ok. What do you think Sara?
Sara: First of all, Brian is not here, so I would be speaking today. I think Anna should donate her kidney because I have a dying daughter.
Judge:(going in the room to decide and after coming back with the results) We have decided that Anna should win this case.
Scene # 9
(In the car going back from the court house)
Campbell: Good job on winning the case Anna!
Anna: Yeah, thank you for being my lawyer for a such cheap price
Campbell: It’s ok (crashes into a pole)
Anna: AHHH screaming
Narrator: So Anna dies by a car accident. Campbell decides to donate Anna’s kidney to Kate. Thanks to that, Kate survives and lives a healthy life. And the whole family feels sorry for Anna. But time heals and life goes on. Jesse is no longer a delinquent and has earned a price from the mayor for crime busting and Kate is feeling free from illness.
