Title: "Astronaut Affairs and Tarot Terrors"

INT. NEW ORLEANS APARTMENT - DAY

The protagonist, ALEX, a woman in her late 20s, is sitting on her couch, surrounded by empty ice cream containers and binge-watching reality TV. She's trying to piece her life back together after a chaotic break-up with her ex-boyfriend, JAKE, a secret astronaut.

ALEX (voiceover)
"That jerk, Jake. Who knew he was a secret astronaut and a serial cheater? I need to get my life back together."

INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY

Alex sits across from her best friend, SAMANTHA, a no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is type of friend.

SAMANTHA
You need to stop wallowing and get back out there. What if I set you up with a guy I know?

ALEX
I don't know...

Suddenly, a loud, boisterous woman, MISS SWEETTEETH, with a thick New Orleans accent, interrupts them.

MISS SWEETTEETH
Hey, ladies, I couldn't help but overhear. Samantha, honey, ain't you the one who does that psychic tarot reading thing? I got a friend needs some help.

SAMANTHA
Yeah, I do tarot readings. But, trust me, you don't want to mess with her ex. He's a certified space cadet.

MISS SWEETTEETH
Oh, honey, ain't nobody too strange for my tarot cards!

INT. MISS SWEETTEETH'S TAROT READING ROOM - DAY

Alex, Samantha, and Miss Sweetteeth sit around a table. Miss Sweetteeth spreads out the tarot cards.

MISS SWEETTEETH
Alright, darlin', let's see what the universe has in store for you.

Alex picks up a card.

MISS SWEETTEETH
Oh, now, that's interesting. The Astronaut. That ain't a normal tarot card!

ALEX
Well, that's appropriate, considering my ex was a secret astronaut.

Miss Sweetteeth picks up another card.

MISS SWEETTEETH
And here we got The Two-Timer. Looks like you're ex was quite the ladies' man.

Alex becomes frustrated and throws the cards down.

ALEX
This is ridiculous. I don't need tarot cards to tell me what I already know.

SAMANTHA
Well, maybe the universe is trying to tell you something.

Later, Alex leaves Miss Sweetteeth's shop, still skeptical, but with a newfound curiosity about her future.

INT. BOHEMIAN ART STUDIO - DAY

Alex, Samantha, and a quirky, free-spirited art teacher, RENEE, sit in a vibrant, eclectic art studio. Renee gives Alex an eccentric pep talk.

RENEE
You need to embrace your inner artist, child! Paint your feelings, express yourself!

ALEX
I don't even know where to start.

RENEE
Why not start with your heart? Paint the heartache, my dear.

Alex takes a brush and starts painting, gradually getting into a rhythm.

INT. ALEX'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Alex stands back, admiring her painting. It's a beautiful, vibrant heart, with multiple colors and textures. Samantha and Renee admire it too.

RENEE
This is simply divine, my dear! You've got talent!

SAMANTHA
You know, you really should consider showing this at the art walk next weekend.

ALEX
I couldn't. I'm not a real artist.

RENEE
But, sweetheart, you are now! Let's make a statement with your heart!

Alex hesitates but eventually agrees.

Title: "Out of This World"

(Scene: A beautiful rooftop view of New Orleans at night. A young woman named Jordan sits alone, nursing a glass of red wine and looking out at the city. It's been a few weeks since her break-up with her ex-boyfriend, Grant, and she's finding it difficult to move on. She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes, trying to collect her thoughts.)

Jordan: (sighs) I don't know why I'm even out here. It's not like I can magically make him come back to me.

(A psychic tarot card reader approaches Jordan from behind.)

Psychic: (smiling) Hey, beautiful. I could tell from our first meeting that healing would require a journey to the past and a visit to a special oracle.

Jordan: (skeptical) Really? And how on earth would either of those things help me get over him?

Psychic: (chuckles) You're right. It's a wild idea, I know. But I've seen it work time and time again. So, let's get started!

(The psychic leads Jordan inside a secret alcove, where she sits down in front of a mystical stone alter. Jordan closes her eyes and focuses on her thoughts as the tarot reader begins to shuffle the cards.)

Jordan: (muttering to herself) This can't be real. I'm just being played for a fool.

(A bright light shines down upon the tarot cards, illuminating the symbols clearly for Jordan to see.)

Psychic: (holding up the card) Look closely at this card, Jordan. It's the Star card. It represents a new beginning, a chance for a fresh start.

Jordan: (perplexed) But doesn't that mean a new love? Why is it telling me about my break-up?

Psychic: (smiling) You have a point. But the Star card also represents self-realization, and the opportunity to find personal fulfillment. It's a message from the universe telling you that the time has come for you to put yourself first.

Jordan: (getting emotional) You're right. I've been putting everyone else's needs before mine for far too long. I deserve to be happy, and I deserve better.

(Jordan gets up from the alter and hugs the psychic, who is visibly moved by the encounter.)

Psychic: (choking back tears) I'm glad I was able to help you, Jordan. You have a beautiful soul, and you deserve to shine.

(Scene ends.)

(Next, Jordan heads to a local coffee shop, where she meets a bohemian art teacher named Isabella.)

Jordan: (to herself) I still can't believe that psychic actually knew what she was talking about. But I guess that's why they call her the 'Tarot Queen.'

Isabella: (approaching Jordan) Hey, I heard about your break-up. I just wanted to say that you're going to be okay. You've got this!

Jordan: (smiling) Thank you. You don't know how much that means to me.

Isabella: (flipping through a sketchbook) You know, I used to be afraid to put myself out there, too. But then I realized that the only way to grow is to take risks and connect with other people.

Jordan: (nodding in agreement) That's so true. I'm just so glad that I met you. You're such an inspiration.

Isabella: (blushing) Oh, thank you. But you're the one who's inspired me. You've been through a lot lately, but you're handling it with such grace and poise. I can only hope to be half as strong as you one day.

Jordan: (chuckles) Well, you have my permission to be wild and crazy. Life is too short to be anything but authentically you.

Isabella: (smiling) Thank you again, Jordan. You really are a special person.

(The two women chat for a little longer, sharing their stories and offering each other support. They laugh, they cry, they empathize. It's exactly what Jordan needs at that moment.)

(The next day, Jordan goes for a walk along the Mississipp

We see a young woman, ROSE (late 20s), walking through the streets of New Orleans. She is dressed in a colorful, bohemian style, carrying a small backpack. The sound of jazz music can be heard in the distance.

I can do this. I can start over.

We hear her phone ring.

Hello?

Excuse me for a second.

Hey! Come in, come in!

What happened here?

ROSE
(embarrassed)
Long story. But I’m starting over, moving on from everything.

JEN

That’s great! I’m proud of you.

CUT TO:

INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY

Rose and Jen sit at a small table, sipping coffee.

JEN
So, let’s talk about your ex-boyfriend. What’s the story with him?

ROSE
(sighs)
Well, he turned out to be a secret astronaut. And I found out he was in multiple other relationships at the same time.

JEN
(wide-eyed)
What? You’re kidding me!

ROSE
(shaking her head)
Unfortunately, not.

JEN
(concerned)
That’s messed up. But are you okay?

ROSE
(smiling)
Yeah, I am. I’m just happy to be here, starting over.

Hey, beautiful. Want to come to a tarot card reading?

No, thank you.

Come on, it’s free. Plus, you can tell your fortune!

Rose sighs and follows her.

Rose shuffles the deck and picks a card.

ESME
(reading the card)
This card means you’re about to embark on a journey of self-discovery.

ROSE

Great. Another tarot card reading.

Are you moving?

What? That's crazy.
