You travel to my world where you're then sent off of a little treasure hunt. You bring
the specified object back to me in the allotted time, and your brother is returned to
his mortal state.
(pause)
If you fail, you join your brother as one of my subjects.
Koon flicks his hand and a contract appears.
KOON
All you have to do is sign the contract--
Reggie eyes the paper in his hand then looks back at him.
REGGIE
I'd like to read through it first, naturally.
Koon hands her the paper.
KOON
Be my guest. I'll give you one hour.
Koon suddenly vanishes. Reggie appears startled and looks around the room. She looks back to the contract in her hand. She quickly tosses the contract onto the bed and runs across the room. Reggie begins rummaging through several boxes within the closet.
INT. LOUNGE
We see Reggie quietly and comfortably reclined on the plush sofa with the contract in one hand and a pen in the other. She appears to be studying it in great detail. The clock chimes midnight. Reggie glances toward the fireplace mantle clock and slowly sits up. Koon suddenly appears in the living room doorway. He's casually leaning against the archway and wears his usual charming smile.
KOON
Have you had a chance to review the details of the contract?
Reggie casually stands, holds up the paper, and eyes him.
REGGIE
I can't say I care for a few of the terms. They appears a little vague.
(pause)
I'd be much more comfortable with a few minor word changes.
Koon eyes her with some surprise. He straightens, flicks his fingers, and the paper appears in his hands. He looks over the contract with several scribbles on it. Koon look back at her.
KOON
You're correcting my grammar?
REGGIE
(shrugs)
I just graduated college. It's all still fresh in my head.
Koon rolls his eyes and groans. He releases the paper. It again appears in Reggie's hand.
KOON
If it makes you more comfortable, you can have your grammar corrections.
(pause)
Do we have a deal?
REGGIE
I'll abide by the terms of the contract, yes.
Koon again smiles charmingly.
KOON
Splendid. Just sign the contract, and we'll be on our way to Neverland.
Reggie signs the contract then approaches Koon with the pen. He gives her a strange look.
REGGIE
If you'll just initial the changes--
Koon stares at her and appears completely baffled. He snatches the pen and initials the changes. He's about to make the contract disappear when Reggie holds up her hand.
REGGIE
Ah, I need to make a copy of that for my records.
Koon stares at her in apparent disbelief. He hands her the paper.
KOON
This is the hardest I've worked in centuries.
