Note: I can’t add real color to the text here, so I’ve labeled each paragraph with the narrative element and its color (for example: [Exposition - Yellow]) and marked each spoken line with [Dialogue - Purple] to show the dialogue color.
Title: Sunny Days, Missing Pages
[Exposition - Yellow]
I never thought a small, beat-up music diary could cause so much trouble on a road trip. Katie and I were supposed to have a simple weekend: drive to the lake, laugh, and sing along to songs. My music diary—Sunny—was special to me. It had stickers, set lists, and lyrics I’d written about everything from crushes to rainstorms. I packed it, or so I thought, and put it in the car like always. The morning we left, the sky was clear and the playlist was loud, and I felt like nothing could go wrong.
[Dialogue - Purple]
“Katie, did you grab the snacks?” I called from the back seat as we zipped up the highway.
[Dialogue - Purple]
“I got them!” Katie answered, stuffing chips into her lap. “And your playlist is already on. This is going to be the best trip.”
[Conflict - Red]
We stopped at a diner somewhere between town and the lake. I reached for Sunny to add a new song title I’d heard on the radio, but my fingers found empty space in my backpack. Panic felt weird and loud, like the kind you get in slow-motion in movies. I told Katie, and for a second we both frozen with the feeling that something small but important had disappeared.
[Dialogue - Purple]
“Are you sure you had it?” Katie asked, eyes wide. “Maybe you left it at home.”
[Dialogue - Purple]
“No,” I said too fast. “I checked last night. I wrote the song list and everything. Sunny’s gone.”
[Rising Action - Orange]
We pulled over at a gas station and turned the car inside out. We checked the trunk, under the seats, in the glove box, inside the cooler of warm soda—everywhere. People walking by probably thought we were crazy, two girls flipping the backseat cushions and muttering lyrics. I thought about all the pages in Sunny that had my handwriting—my private jokes, my worries, and notes about Katie and me. It felt like losing a part of myself.
[Dialogue - Purple]
“If someone took it, what would they want with a diary?” Katie asked, sounding worried.
[Dialogue - Purple]
“Maybe it fell out,” I muttered, pushing my hand deeper between the seat and the door. “Maybe it’s under here.”
We drove on, but the mood had changed. I kept picturing Sunny lying in a parking lot, pages turning in the wind. At every stop we checked every chair and curb. At the hotel we tore through our bags, nearly waking other guests with our frantic whispering. Every “no” was heavier than the last.
[Climax - Pink]
On the second day, when the sun was burning the highway silver and we were both half-asleep, Katie asked me to move the seat forward so she could reach her phone charger. I slid it back without thinking, and something bumped the floor. I reached down. Fingers brushed paper. I pulled it out and there she was—Sunny, bent but whole, wrapped in the corner of the seat like she’d been waiting to be found.
[Dialogue - Purple]
“No way.” Katie sat back like she’d been hit by happiness. “You found her?”
[Dialogue - Purple]
Sunny (my diary) spoke in my head like a friend who’d been quiet for a while. “You finally looked where I was hiding,” I whispered, holding the cover.
My heart did that weird jumpy thing and then calmed. Finding Sunny felt like finding my voice again. I remembered writing a song about getting lost and being found, and reading those lines made everything make sense in a small bright way.
[Falling Action - Green]
We sat on the curb and flipped through Sunny’s pages, laughing and crying in a jumble. Some pages had melted into coffee stains from the diner mix-up. Some lyrics were scribbled out in a hurry, and one page had a line Katie had added in messy letters the night before—“don’t lose each other.” We promised to keep Sunny in a better place. We also promised to be more careful with each other, because losing something can make you see how much it matters.
[Dialogue - Purple]
“I’m sorry I freaked out,” I said to Katie, closing the diary gently.
[Dialogue - Purple]
“No, I’m sorry,” she replied. “We should have checked under the seat earlier. But honestly? This is a better story than a boring weekend.”
[Resolution - Blue]
By the time we reached the lake, Sunny was tucked under my arm like a secret. We sang the songs from her pages while the sun set, and I wrote a new line at the back: “Found on the highway, kept by friends.” Maybe a diary can’t speak, but it reminds you who you are when you read your own handwriting. We learned that losing something small can make you appreciate the small things—the bent corners of a page, the way a friend reaches under a seat without being asked. The rest of the trip was perfect for the record: we were careful, we laughed louder, and I kept Sunny in my lap the whole way home.
