Description: Every teenager has sat alone in their bedroom, dreaming about somone they hardly know. But what happens when you try and rope them into your private fantasy? Emma works in the "Magic Moments" photo shop in Glasgow. She has a crush on Neil, but he hardly seems to notice her when he brings his pictures in to be developed. Unperturbed, she keeps an extra set of all his photos, pretending he's her boyfriend. When Neil brings his snaps in from his latest holiday - his honeymoon - Emma has a surprise in store...
