Fairy U Video Game Script

Max is your typical college student, a bit of a slacker at times (though he’s trying to change that), but a generally good guy. He can also see his Fairy Godmother, Belinda. She has been attempting to help Max get his life together, which includes capturing the heart of his dream girl, Jessica. Naturally they must go on a successful date for Max to start a relationship with Jessica.

The game begins with Max having already gotten Jessica’s number, which is detailed in the previous media of “Fairy U”. The goal of Level 1 is to successfully call Jessica and set up a date. In order to do this, Max has to get back to his room after classes as quickly as possible – which can be difficult when he is being pursued by teachers who what to talk to him about his disruptive behavior in class, his very suspicious RA, and annoying classmates. Once back at his room, Max must sift through his filthy room to find Jessica’s number. Belinda, trying to help, has to get everything in its proper place to find Jessica’s number. When the task is complete, Max is able to call Jessica and set up a date.

Level 2 consists of Max getting ready for the date. Because Max is a bit of a slob, he has to clean some clothes for the date. Belinda takes up this task – which can be exceptionally difficult for even a competent fairy in a college laundry room. She only has a limited time and has to contend with a breaking and unavailability of machines. Also, everyone knows for a date to be successful the guy has to buy the girl a gift; therefore Max must look through his IM and text conversations with Jessica to get hints on what to buy for her. With a good gift in hand and clean clothes on his back, Max can proceed onto the date, and complete this Level.

The date itself takes up Level 3. While at the restaurant, Max and Belinda have to work together to ensure it is successful. While Belinda does her best to make the meal prefect, there’s a chance she put things Jessica is allergic to in the food, which Max has to check for. He also has to stop Belinda’s attempts at setting a romantic mood with candles from burning down the entire restaurant. After Max successfully pays the check and gets a kiss from Jessica, the game is complete.

I like the premise of having the protagonist having to "escape teachers."

Also, everyone can relate to at least knowing someone who is a bit of a slob, so I think that aspect of the game will appeal to many (that genre of gaming is already quite popular-- i.e., games of organization).

This could work as a game premise.
