Good Evening everyone. Welcome to Movie Rewrites. Tonight we are rewriting “My Girl”. I don’t know about you but the ending of this movie was too painful to me. So we are here to change that for you.
When Veda’s friendship with thomas blossoms, she grows to love him more and more. With that love comes fear as a result of losing her own mother at such a tender young age. She worries a lot about thomas because she knows how severe his allergies are. She goes on a private mission to try and help him. She starts coming home everyday after school and using her fathers basement mortuary to experiment with different plants and herbs she’s been collecting with thomas on their walks in the woods. She works on building a vaccine filled with all natural organic herbs that can counteract any allergic reaction he may have. She knows that her friend Thomas has his worst allergy to Bees, so along with the organic vaccine she creates, she creates a bee net trapper out of an old fishing net that she found in her basement. She designs him a suit out of her late mothers old rain coats and with two hoods facing each other with a built in net in the front of the head, so he would be able to breathe and see and be fully protected by bees at the same time. Once she feels that it might work she starts carrying around her equipment in a backpack for her best and only friend. She never tells him because she knows he doesn’t like when she worries.
When she losses her mood ring in the woods, she is very upset. Thomas is determined to go out and find it because he knows how much it means to her. On that same afternoon, Veda decides to find Thomas and tell him of her discovery. When she goes to his home to find him, he is not there. She runs excitedly down the trail they usually walk together to tell him the news. Just as she is arriving toward the end of the path, she spots Thomas kneeling in the grass. She notices a stirring bee hive and jumps into action with her emergency back pack. She is determined not to lose another person that she loves. She quickly throws the protective suit to thomas and screams to him to put it on. As he’s rushing to put it on she whips our her bee net, climbs the tree and places the net over the whole bee hive. She jumps down and finds thomas in his protective gear, grabs him by the arm and runs home. When they get indoors, she pulls the hood off and pours the anecdote down his throat. By some miracle she had saved his life.
Thomas’s parents are so grateful to Veda that they submit the story of what she created at such a young age and how she saved their son , to the Secretary of State. That night at dinner, she receives a phone call from the president of the United States inviting her to the White House for dinner. They fly her to Washington and she brings Thomas as her date. After meeting with the president he tells her that he will be giving her an honorary awards ceremony for her advancement in the science of allergies and protective gear. She receives worldwide recognition and she and thomas are interviewed by everyone from Oprah to Piers Morgan.
At this point, her life takes on a whole new direction. She speaks all over the world about how love can influence the power of science. She gets book deal after book deal and becomes the youngest member to ever work with top experimental scientists all over the world.
After years of traveling the globe , she decides to slow down. She is now married to thomas with 4 kids, living in a small town and working as the local allergist. Her protective suits are always in her closets as well as the closets of millions all over the world. The end.
The movie still would have been great.
