Justicia & Her Friends

EXT. A PATHWAY TO A CAFÉ IN HEAVEN WITH PASTEL CLOUDS ALL AROUND.

 

Justicia (walks with Fortuna): It’s just frustrating, you know?

 

Fortuna links her arm with Justicia’s and smiles; Justicia releases her furrowed eyebrows and smiles, also.

 

Fortuna (brightly): I know, but you’ve done a great start. Besides, like I said back there, you aren’t alone in this. We’ll always be with you. Don’t you ever forget that! Oh! I almost forgot; the girls are all waiting for us to begin brunch!

 

Fortuna and Justicia walk more briskly to the café. They are greeted by Liberty, America, Esperanza, and Felicity.

 

Liberty (hugs Justicia): It’s so great to see you again, Justicia! (Justicia smiles shyly.) Eros told us everything that’s been happening, I’m so sorry that we weren’t able to meet up sooner! Like Fortuna said, we’ll be here with you; you’re never alone; so tell us the game plan, and we’re ready! After all, America hasn’t been feeling well since Trump won the presidency, but even she still retains hope!

 

America (shyly): I’m so sorry to hear the burden that you’ve felt! I also know how heavy it’s been in the world; granted I am only assigned as the angel of both North and South America, but it’s been rough to see everything that’s been happening. Please, let me know if I, too, can help in any form.

 

Justicia (trying to mask the lump in her throat): Thank you all! (She smiles.) It’s great to see you all, and I’m glad you’ve been safe and sound. (She clears her throat.) There actually is a lot that everyone can help me with! I have devised a plan to help the world, the solution is to follow Mean Girls!

 

The angels all audibly gasp.

 

Liberty (with a concerned smile): Justicia, sweetie, are you saying that we need to become mean girls?

 

America (also concerned): No, honey, I think she’s talking about the movie!

 

Esperanza (with a confident smile): Well you just have to tell me my role, and I’m in!

​

Justicia (reassuring everyone): Ladies, it’s okay, but America is right; it’s about the movie!

 

Felicity: I’m just gonna say it, I don’t want to be Regina George. I can be anyone else, but her.

 

They all turn to look at Felicity, the angel of Nature, and back to Justicia.

 

Justicia: No, sorry, it’s not like that! What I meant is in order to stop the uprising dictator in the U.S. and other countries, we can use Janis’s plan to bring, for example, Trump down!

 

The angels all gasp in awe and relief.

 

Justicia: Just like Janis Ian’s plan began, first and foremost, we have to separate Trump from his arm candy!

 

Felicity: Oh! You mean Mark Zuckerberg!

 

America (shaking her head): No, she means Jeff Bezos!

 

Liberty: No, you’re all wrong; she means Steve Bannon, or at least Stephen Miller!

 

Justicia: Well, I mean you’re all kind of correct.

 

Fortuna: But, you were talking mostly about Elon Musk!

 

Justicia: Exactly! Regardless, first, we keep protecting the people boycotting, protesting, and showing the corrupt side of Tesla, Elon Musk, and DOGE. (All the angels clap.) Then, we also help illuminate others to boycott Elon Musk and Tesla, and because there are more greedy billionaires and millionaires behind Trump, we apply the same procedure!

 

Liberty (nods in agreement): Exactly! We weren’t able to stop Coco Chanel in World War II, but we’ve learned from that mistake now!

 

Everyone stares down in disappointment.

 

 Felicity (breaking the silence): Isn’t the next step to remove the notion of a ‘hot’ body?

 

Esperanza: I may be the angel of Hope, but even I know that man has never been near that adjective.

 

The angels burst out laughing.

​

Justicia (wiping a tear): Now, now, ladies, it can be a metaphor. (They all stare at Justicia with puzzled looks.) The body, as in, whatever his actions and words are; we just have to keep protecting the lawyers, judges, paralegals, legal assistants, doctors, nurses, scientists, epidemiologists, teachers, professors, reporters, journalists, and basically every career from his grubby little hands!

 

America: So, you mean, keeping every action under a microscope and reminding the public of the Truth?

 

Justicia: Exactly! We make sure that the people don’t allow his actions and words to go on unchecked; Esperanza, in specific, needs to be there to remind the people of hope and illuminate their minds. (Esperanza salutes Justicia.)

 

Fortuna (happily): Sounds great! That’s all right?

 

Justicia shakes her head and has a concerned look; the angels become a little disheartened from her look.

 

Justicia (somewhat sadly): The last one is the most difficult; it’s to show those who are most loyal to Trump that he is evil and a dictator.

 

Felicity (saddened): Then, it won’t work!

 

America: No, it will work! We’ll help reunite the people!

 

Esperanza: That’s right! It’s already begun early January, when some of Trump’s previous voters saw that women have to present two I.D.s to prove voting rights, but most women change their last names! Then, there was the people organizing and boycotting Tesla, and continuing to do so!

 

The angels start to gain hope.

 

Fortuna: Don’t forget that they have also been successfully boycotting Amazon, Target, Walmart, and others; plus, supporting those like Costco, who still implement DEI!

 

Justicia (resiliently): Definitely! We’re just beginning, and people have been voting for politicians that won’t cower to Trump! There is still hope and time for change.

 

Fortuna (kindly): It will be difficult because his supporters are like someone in a toxic relationship.

 

America (sweetly): If we push the Truth onto them too strongly, they’ll still further remain on his side; we just have to approach them with kindness, listen, and then politely inform them that some of their concerns stem from the actions of Trump and his oligarchs, not immigrants or liberal views.

 

The angels all gather around and hug each other.

 

Justicia: Thank you, everyone! Snacks are my treat, today!

 

They all applaud and look more hopeful now. Everyone begins to snack comfortably.

 

Fortuna (whispering): You know, Eros was super worried about you. (She nudges Justicia’s arm as Justicia blushes and keeps snacking.)

 

America (overhearing and joining the conversation): Oh! Wait, he asked me for movie recommendations! Didn’t you both watch Mean Girls together?

 

The angels are all now listening attentively and hopeful.

 

Justicia (clears her throat): Oh, by the way, did anyone see Medusa?

 

The angels all smile.

 

Fortuna (trying to hide her smile): Oh! Medusa wanted to be here, but she’s actually going on a media tour! I’m sure we’ll hear about her soon!

 

BLACKOUT.
