Author's Note:

Yes, we're doing this.

I've been a fan of Supersonic Girl, a webcomic by Sandra Diaz, for quite some time, ever since I think around April 2018? Yeah, that's when I started getting into Webtoons. It's a really fun comic with neat characters and pretty good action and would highly recommend it.

Ever since I started reading it I had one pervasive thought: "What if this turned into a legit TV series?" And to make a long story short, I rode that thought all the way to the moon and back for the next three years until it turned into a 136K word long draft of a full season and this fanfic. Here's the result of that brain child.

My goal for this series is to adapt the story of Supersonic Girl into a faux episodic TV series and then continuing where the story left off. While also sprinkling in some original episodes and plot lines. And don't feel bad if you're not familiar with the source material. I don't think most people are anymore. This series is meant to be digestible for new fans as well as old.

And also I would LOVE any constructive feedback you have to offer. I had a hard time finding betas because this fandom is pretty small, and I want to improve for future episodes, because believe me, there will be a lot of them, whether you like it or not. So please, any feedback helps. I'm also still open to beta readers if anyone is interested.


EXT. CITY STREETS - MORNING

The morning sun rises over the mountain range in the distance, centered by MOUNT EGRESS, with its signature cut off surface.

The sun shines over a bustling city with tall metropolitan buildings, among them a BRIGHT RED RADIO TOWER,

Towering over the already bustling streets below. Everyone on the surface has somewhere to be, some crazy misadventure to tackle before the day ends.

SONIA (V.O.)
This is my city: Radio City, Connecticut.

A SUBWAY TRAIN travels over the city on an elevated railway.

From one of the subway cars, a teenage girl with an earbud in one ear proudly looks out onto the city.

SONIA (V.O.)
And that's me: Sonia Rockwell.

SONIA has bright blonde hair that cuts off just over the shoulders and bright blue eyes.

She sports a bright blue jean jacket over a white T-shirt, dark blue jeans and red sneakers.

And an bright orange arrowhead shaped brooch over her heart

The train car stops moving, and half of the subway passengers get up to leave. Sonia follows them to the exit.

EXT. BELL HIGH SCHOOL - COURTYARD - MORNING

SONIA walks through the school courtyard, where several students are already conversing with their respective cliques.

SONIA (V.O.)
Just your average teenage girl.

She steps through the front door.

INT. BELL HIGH SCHOOL - CLASSROOM - LATER

Sonia puts her test paper down flat on her desk while listening to music on her earbuds, as the rest of the class works on their tests.

SONIA (V.O.)
Aaaaand that's how I like to spend my time at school: listening to my tunes.

A teacher walks by, picking up Sonia's test paper, as Sonia fidgets with her pencil in her hands.

Sonia raises an eyebrow.

SONIA (V.O.)
What?! It helps me to focus!

LATER

The teacher goes around returning the tests to their respective students.

SONIA (V.O.)
My grades aren't affected by it anyways.

The teacher stops by Sonia's desk to hand her her test, marked with an A+++ in the corner.

TEACHER
Well done, Sonia!


INT. BELL HIGH SCHOOL - SCHOOL CORRIDORS - LATER

Sonia walks out of the classroom, still eyeing the test paper in her hand, her expression unreadable.

Sonia nearly walks into a locker flinging itself open. Then a hand from behind catches it before it hits Sonia's face.

The locker door closes to reveal CASSIE in her wide circular glasses, green eyes, and auburn hair.

CASSIE
I'm so sorry, didn't see you there.

SONIA
Don't apologize. I should have been paying more attention.

Sonia puts away her test paper as Cassie walks beside her, revealing a black T-shirt with a red spiderman-esque mask on it.

CASSIE
Congratulations on the test! You got the highest score in the class!

SONIA
Please, I always get the highest score. It's not a big deal anymore.

CASSIE
Well, I'm still happy for you. I think you're really smart and I'm proud of you.

SONIA (V.O.)
Cassie Venus: the kindest soul you'll ever meet, and my best friend.

RALPH (O.S.)
Are we talking about the next Einstein?

RALPH jovially wraps his arms around Sonia and Cassie's shoulders from behind.

Ralph has warm beige skin with brown eyes and brown hair with side fringes.

SONIA (V.O.)
And here's best friend #2, Rafeal Ortíz: Member of the school paper, and my best friend since diapers.

He's wearing a large dark blue hoodie, a white shirt with a light blue circle with a 4 inside underneath.

Ralph releases his friends from his embrace and walks along with them in the middle.

CASSIE
Ralph, tell Sonia how smart she is.

RALPH
Please, like I don't try to tell her everyday and she doesn't listen. Hey! Speaking of geniuses, did you guys read the last chapter of Webmaster?

CASSIE
Yeah! I can't believe he made that jump!

SONIA
Yeah, and when he had that fight with the Doc!

CASSIE
Ugh! I can't wait for the next chapter!

They walk past a locker that closes to reveal JENNIFER TORRES in her expensive pink leather jacket and silver nose ring, scowling at Sonia and her friends.

JENNIFER
Look! Sonia and her geek team!

Jennifer faces away from Sonia to turn to her own group of friends, snidely smiling.

JENNIFER
Losers! I've never seen such bad taste in clothing!

Her friends laugh along. One of the boys in her group playfully smirks at Jennifer.

BOY
You girls are so mean.

Jennifer has long flowing black hair and purple eyes. She wears a black and purple skirt, and purple sneakers to match.

She sticks her nose up as her and her friends walk away from Sonia's group.

SONIA (V.O.)
Oh! There's Jennifer Torres and her bootlickers! She loves bothering us for some reason!

SONIA
NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION, JENNIFER!

Sonia shouts at Jennifer and her friends as they walk out of view.

RALPH
Argh! She's always making fun of us!

CASSIE
Calm down you two, it's Jennifer, just ignore her.

Cassie puts her hands on her friends' shoulders to restrain them. They both sigh.

RALPH
Yeah, I guess you're right.

The school bell rings.

CASSIE
Well, we better get going if we're gonna catch the bus.

Ralph and Sonia start following Cassie to the school lobby, when Sonia's phone vibrates. Sonia stops.

SONIA
(to RALPH and CASSIE)
Go without me! I'll catch up!

Sonia pulls out her cell phone to find a text from her uncle:

"Wazzap Beaty Bird? I'm not coming home tonight."

"We're advancing a lot with the investigation. Take care xoxo!"

SONIA (V.O.)
This is my uncle, Dr. Alberto Voltio, a very famous scientist here in the city. He's so busy I almost never see him.
(then)
I wish we could spend more time together.

Sonia sighs, and then smiles, as she puts her cellphone away, and catches up with her friends.

SONIA (V.O.)
Well, luckily Brio will be waiting for me when I get back home…


INT. SONIA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - LATER

Sonia enters the living room.

SONIA
I'm home!

Sonia faces a WHITE BUNNY playing Mario Kart on the TV.

He sees Sonia and pauses the game.

BUNNY
Finally, you're back!

He stretches his body, as if he'd been sedentary for a while, revealing the golden triangle on his collar.

SONIA (V.O.)
This is Brio, my lovely teammate. He can speak thanks to a collar my uncle created specifically for him.

SONIA
Did you miss me, buddy?

BRIO
What took you so long? We have work to do, remember?

Sonia's smile drops.

SONIA
Oh, right.

SONIA (V.O.)
And that's my life…

Sonia grabs her orange BROOCH with both hands.

SONIA (V.O.)
…more or less.

Sonia places her brooch against her forehead, as it starts to glow orange.

SONIA (V.O.)
Being a teenager is tough, especially when you have a double life as…

A gust of wind blows around her as the orange glow from her brooch coats her body.

The glow disappears around her lower body. Revealing A black skort and a yellow belt with a triangle buckle around Sonia's waist.

The glow then clears up around Sonia's hair as it is brushed up and back, sticking up behind her.

Sonia makes a dusting off motion with her hands as black and yellow gloves materialize on them.

She stomps her foot on the ground as yellow and black sports boots appear on her feet.

The remaining glow travels behind Sonia's back and forms into a flowing black cape, with a striking gold interior.

The cape is tied just over Sonia's brooch, which is now sitting in the middle of her chest, on top of a bright orange chest plate.

Sonia poses in her full costume, standing tall with her legs shoulder-width apart and chest puffed out, with a confident stare.

BRIO confidently poses beside her, now with an insignia similar to Sonia's broach now in front of his collar.

SONIA (V.O.)
...As Supersonic Girl!


Author's Notes:

Still with me? Cool! Okay. I know that script fics are looked down upon in fanfiction circles. I've thought about the screenplay format and I've considered whether or not to change it, and I've made the decision that, at least for now, this is a cosmetic choice. There were certain techniques and framing choices that I found hard to replicate in prose when I tried to revise the story. I didn't follow the rules of screen play to the letter, I had visual character descriptions, Brio's character tag changed, and stuff like that which is usually advised against in professional screenplay writing. Because above all, I want this story to be enjoyable to read, and spec scripts are meant to be read.

And maybe this format won't conducive to that no matter what I do. But I wanted to at least try. And I'm open to writing future episodes differently if that's what I have to do.

I also have a more traditionally formatted version of this script on google docs if anyone is interested: document/d/1O7fzavWfQaEGL9EfTq7XJUP2R9feh28UgrxLbs6FhUY/edit?usp=sharing

Also yes I did change the names of two of the characters:

1) In the original webtoon, Sonia's uncle was named uncle Ben. Something that a lot of people liked as a reference to Spiderman. Personally I found it kind of distracting especially since it's just asking to get copyright claimed by Marvel comics, and I wanted to give him a more original sounding name to help him stand separate from that. I'll admit that's probably just me talking, but that's all that I plan to change about the character though.

2) Brio was less of an out right name change and more so me just wanting to give him a civilian alter ego since part of his backstory in the comic is that he wasn't always Supersonic Girl's side kick. So it would make sense he would have a sidekick persona to hide his connection to Sonia's family.

Anyway, back to the show.
