-They discover they can see and hear each other, but they can't touch each other.
-Nobody else can see them but each other
-Nothing red can interact with anything blue, except that these two children can see and hear each other.
-They play games with each other, exploring these rules in a way that demonstrates it visually.
-Their eyes adjust to each others "worlds", as demonstrated by the white space filling in with coloured bits of each other's landscapes (a blue tree in the red kitchen, etc)
-Some visual chaos as they learn to focus only on one color at a time, as stimuli often clashes
-Magic trick scene, in which kids are making fun of Emmylou for talking to "imaginary friend", and she uses Jefferson to "guess" what her school mates had written.
-Same scene in reverse, only Jefferson chooses to hide his interactions with Emmylou, and she's disappointed.
-Emmylou goes to Jefferson's class while he's taking a test, and he won't interact with her, so she goes to the front of the class and reads the answers off the teacher's desk.
-They have a talk about ambitions and studying and cheating afterwards at home.
-She invites him to her middle school dance, in her gym, which to him is a field.
-Some peers make fun of her again, and she responds by pulling the same magic trick from earlier, only one of the peers wrote something really rude, and he doesn't want to read it out loud to her. Reluctantly, he does, and she repeats it to her peers' astonishment, and goes home crying.
-He tries to cheer her up, and she wants privacy.
-She tells him excitedly that a boy asked her out.
-He spies and reports back some pervy little boy stuff he said about her while she wasn't around.
-She dumps him, and the two of them agree to report this kind of thing for future relationships if it comes up.
-A few more boyfriends over the years are broken up with over something Jefferson found out about them by spying.
-They have a conversation about her feelings that there simply aren't any good boys.
-Emmylou vocalizes that she wishes she could find a guy in the red world like Jefferson.
-They talk about their hopes and dreams and fantasize a little, and things get about as close to romantic as they can until
-Their conversation snaps back to reality; they will eventually move out of their houses, and she wants kids, and they can't touch each other, or kiss or anything like that, and nobody else can see them (so no witnesses at the wedding, right?)
-After high school graduation, she reveals she's had a boyfriend, and didn't want Jefferson to spy this time, which is why she kept it from him.
-He spies anyways.
-When he reports back with dirt, they fight about it
-They fight about college, and hurt each other.
-Jefferson gets high with some friends and starts talking about his "girl trouble"
-He inevitably sounds crazy, talking about the red world and the girl no one else can see.
-Friend says he sounds like "Old Muddy Waters", the crazy old guy that lives up in the woods.
-Jefferson seeks out Muddy, learns he has same ability as Jefferson, to see and hear the red world.
-There were more people from both worlds who could see each other, and they had a society, stationed right there at Muddy's place.
-The society would help each other performing tasks, as spies, and reverse engineering each other's technologies (explaining the similar tech levels).
-They built a "color wheel", a gateway between worlds made out of red and blue pieces, but a red piece is broken off, and Muddy can't fix the wheel because he can't physically interact with the red piece.
-Upon learning about the color wheel, Jefferson seeks to find Emmylou at her college, and make things right with her, with the hope that they now have a way to be together.
-He learns that the city she moved to is built in the red world where a mountain sits in the blue world.
-Determined, he goes into some old abandoned mining caves.
-He finds she frequents a coffee shop, just below, so he digs and digs until he gets her attention.
-Jefferson confesses his feelings to Emmylou, and mentions he might've found a way for them to be together.
-She leaves, still upset.
-He returns to his room, and discovers she's there waiting.
-He asks if she wants to see a magic trick.
-She is surprised that Muddy can see her, and she fixes the color wheel.
-They touch for the first time.
-And grow up together, restarting the society, traveling between worlds.
-They also have a baby daughter
-Named Billie Holiday Jefferson
-Who grows into a toddler, which they tuck into bed.
-She wakes up and sees a little green boy.
-THE END.
