I need ideas for a plot. The story can only be 3-5 pages (typed). This is what i have so far. The character is a girl named Erin Marie Smith. She is 15 years old, and lives in Beverly Hills, California. Her house burned down when she was 13, killing her mother. Her and her father moved to Beverly Hills to "start over." That's all i have so far. I need help on a plot and an ending. Any ideas? Please be serious about this. No dumb answers.
Thank you very much!
I really appreciate it!

If you can only have 3-5 pages, write it in sections/parts. Have the story continue on into another part after the 5 pages. As for the plot, there's infinite ideas floating around in my head...but to keep it short, show her dealing with her mother's death and the transition of living with her father..that would give you a plot to see how she will react to the trauma that has happened to her. As for an ending, tie up one localized issue--such as a fight with the father or give them a happy ending by bonding with each other, or have the girl leave/runaway. It should be pretty easy, you have a good start, just keep it concise and to the point.

The father, grieving for the mother, neglects the girl. And then finds a young woman girlfriend and marries her. The step mother is very young - too close in age to the girl and jealousy naturally develops between the two young women. The father does nothing to heal that.
The young girl, desperate for attention and affection turns to lower companions and drugs. Sinking lower and lower.
But, fortunately, the father gets shaken out of his selfishness by a new neighbour, who sees what is happening to the young girl. The father realizes how much he loves his daughter, manages to convince the daughter of that fact and gets her really good help through a treatment program and a 12 step program.
The family are now on a different footing of mutual respect and appreciation and love, and they 'live happily ever after'.

This is pretty much my made-up idea. You could tell about how the dad finds a new woman and the daughter tries to ruin the relationship for fear the woman will become her new mother. But I don't know how easy that will be if you can only have 3-5 pages.
