Forkk, Clyff, Winifred, and Spoonx are sitting around a table playing cards. When it comes to Spoonx�s turn, he slaps a card down on the table and says-) Spoonx: Tag, you�re it! Clyff: Dude�wrong game. Spoonx: Oh! (Slaps another card on the table) Go fish! Winifred: I believe we are playing crazy eights right now, Spoonx. Spoonx: (Throws the rest of his hand into the pile) I win! (Jumps up, chair falls over behind him) Ha ha, you lose! Hahahahaha! (Smacks his butt in Winifred�s face) (Winifred leans away slightly. Spoonx runs out the door, slamming it behind him. The room is silent for a few moments.) Forkk: Well�I think I�ve had enough cards for the day. (Puts cards on table and leaves.) (Everyone else says a word of agreement and they all set their cards on the table. Winifred cleans up the cards. Pooka and Posh enter through the door. Posh is holding a stack of mail.) Posh: Hey, guys. Clyff: Hey, what�s up? Pooka: We were like, partyin� all day man! Posh: Yaaah� Pooka: And we decided to pick up our mail on the way home. (Posh puts the stack on the table. Winifred picks it up and starts looking through it.) Clyff: Shway man, thanks! Posh: Sorry, but�I just ran over Spoonx. Clyff: Oh, no problem. No problem at all! Winifred: (Flipping through mail) Let�s see� bills, bills, junk mail, crap magazines, you�ve won a free car�(picks up an envelope) this one kinda looks interesting. Clyff: Let me see! (Grabs it away, starting a short frenzy over the letter, Clyff wins and looks over both sides of the envelope) All our names are handwritten on the front, but there�s no return address! Pooka: Maybe it�s just a complaint from the neighbors or something. (Grabs the envelope from Clyff, opens it and reads:) Dear Children: Your household was the winning entry in the annual Win-Your-Own-Demon Sweepstakes. Upon opening of this letter, one demon is unleashed into the comforts of your home for the rest of your humble lives! We know you will be satisfied with your prize! Yours truly, �The Staff� (Slightly confused, she reads over the letter again to herself. The confused expression slowly changes to an expression of sheer terror.) Oh my God! (breathes heavily) We�re all gonna die!! (huddles into nearest corner, shields head) Winifred: Take it easy, Pooka, the only ones that are gonna die around here are the punks who decided to write this�Look, there�s still more in the envelope! (takes paper out and Clyff reads over her shoulder-) Clyff: You�ve won a: VooDoo Vamp. VooDoo Vamps love entertainment. They are known to possess the living and use various tools to quench their thirst for human blood. They also have very strong destructive powers, which they are only able to use in good health. Have fun, but watch out. (The sound of the door opening is heard. Everyone screams and freaks out. Spoonx walks in looking like roadkill.) Spoonx: My bum-bum hurts! (Close-up of Pooka with hands on cheeks, screaming) End of Act 1 Act 2 (The next morning. Pooka, Clyff, Posh, and Forkk are in their pajamas eating cereal.) Pooka: So, Posh, how are we gonna get rid of this demon? I mean we�re not gonna just let it haunt us for the rest of our lives, are we? Posh: There is no demon! People can�t just go and send demons in the mail, that�s impossible! Pooka: No demon huh�well how would you explain Spoonx coming back from the dead last night? Posh: He didn�t come back from the dead. He just got banged up a bit, that�s all. He�ll be out of bed in no time. Pooka: No, Posh! Don�t you see?! Spoonx is dead, and now the demon is possessing his body!! Posh: Pooka�there is no demon. I�m sure that was all a prank. Besides, who would ever want to possess a body like Spoonx�s? Pooka: Oh, so you think I�m crazy huh? I am NOT crazy! Forkk, do you think I�m crazy? Forkk: Yes. Now leave me alone. Pooka: Oh, come on! Clyff, tell me I�m not crazy! Clyff: Sorry, but you�re bogus man. Pooka: (Ticked-off noise) You will see! You will all see! This is not a joke! Forkk: Uh huh. Sure. I�ll bet it was you that wrote that stupid letter. Pooka: Forkk, don�t even think for a second that I would- (A loud opera voice is heard from the balcony. Clyff, Pooka, and Posh scream and run for the stairs to the basement. Forkk just sits there and picks at his cereal.) (Shot of Clyff, Pooka, and Posh running down stairs) End of Act 2 Act 3 (In the computer room. Winifred is doing calculations on the computer. She hears the racket and looks to the doorway as they hurry in and shut the door behind them. They lock the door, breathing heavily.) Winifred: What�s all the commotion about? Pooka: We heard the VooDoo Vamp singing upstairs! You believe me now, don�t you? Clyff & Posh: Yes! Yes, we believe you! (or something along those lines.) Winifred: Well the only person it could have been was Spoonx, but when I checked on him this morning he was still out cold. Pooka: It sounded just like him. We think that the demon possessed him though, that�s how he came back from the dead last night! Winifred: That could very well be true. When I last checked on him, I was sure that he wouldn�t be waking up for another two days. But I still feel a little skeptical about this whole demon thing. Clyff: Well, what should we do? Pooka: One thing�s for certain, I am NOT leaving this room until we have a plan to get rid of that thing! Clyff: Actually, that�s not such a bad idea. Since the demon is stuck in Spoonx�s body, he won�t be able to get through the door unless we unlock it first. Posh: I�ll agree to that. The faster we think, the faster we get through that door. *** (It�s nearly sundown.) Narrator: Seven hours later. (The kids are lying on the floor or sitting in chairs, looking really really bored.)(Pooka snores quietly) Winifred: Anyone thought of anything yet? Posh: I think I have to go to the bathroom. Winifred: Well hold it in �cause it�s gonna be a real wait if we don�t think of something soon! Posh: I�m going to the bathroom. (Gets up and heads for the door) Clyff: What?! Are you sure you want to do that? Posh: If I�m not back in an hour, I�m a dead dork in a dish. (Posh leaves, shuts door behind her. Clyff sighs and shakes head) *** (Nighttime. It�s hard to see the characters.) Narrator: One hour later. Clyff: Do you think Posh is a dead dork in a dish yet? Pooka: Probably not. I haven�t heard any blood-curdling screams lately. Clyff: What do you think is taking her so long then? She didn�t have to go THAT bad did she? Winifred: (Looks like she�s thinking) I wonder if Forkk is done with his cereal yet. Pooka: I think we should go see if she�s okay. Clyff: Yeah. Winifred: Well, okay. But let�s stay close together. The power is out so we�ll have to use this flashlight. (Opens a drawer and busts out flashlight, she gives it to Pooka) (Winifred opens the door, and they tiptoe into the darkness.) End of Act 3 Act 4 (The room is black except for the flashlight beam. The kids walk towards the bathroom, quietly calling Posh�s name.) Pooka: Posh? (Shines light into the bathroom and looks around for a moment) She�s not in there. (a little louder) Posh, where are you?? Nunca: Pssst! (Camera turns toward the noise. Nunca is sitting on the couch.) Pooka: Posh, is that you? (Walks toward her, the kids and cameraman follow.) Nunca: Not exactly. (She is playing with a loop of string) Pooka: (gasps) You�ve possessed Posh, haven�t you! Nunca: Not exactly that, either. (Doesn�t avert eyes from the string) Clyff: What, then? Nunca: I am Nunca, Posh�s alter-personality. Winifred: Oh, really. Why haven�t you ever shown yourself to us all this time? Nunca: I didn�t feel like revealing myself to you lunatics, simple as that. But I�ve been getting bored of being in Posh�s body for so long. I just thought this would be a fun time to stir things up. Winifred: So you�ve been in Posh�s body all this time? Where did you come from before that? Nunca: (Gets up and walks to face them from a distance. Begins to create a cat�s cradle with the string.) I am from the Cat�s Cradle Nebula. Clyff: Never heard of it, dude. Nunca: That�s because I destroyed it ten thousand years ago. Clyff: Oh�what? Pooka: Oh, so you think Earth is next, huh? Well don�t count on it! (Pushes Nunca onto the floor. Nunca screams, replaced by Posh who gets up, confused. When this happens the power comes back.) Posh! Are you okay? Posh: Yeah, what�s going on? Pooka: We figured out that you have a multiple personality, and she�s going to destroy the world!! Posh: Oh�kaaay�I think maybe we should get some sleep� Winifred: Yeah. It�s been a long day. (Pooka groans/sighs in impatience.) End of Act 4 Act 5 (Scene 1) (Downstairs. Everyone is asleep on the floor or on the couches. Pooka, Winifred, and Clyff have red spots all over them. Posh and Pooka wake up.) Posh: Pooka, what are all those spots on you? Pooka: Huh? (Looks at her arms and gasps. Notices Winifred and Clyff�s spots too and wakes them up.) Clyff, Winifred, we have spots! Clyff: We must have the chicken pox! Winifred: I think I know what this is. The VooDoo Vamp has been sucking our blood, just like the paper said, and it didn�t get Posh because she was under that heavy blanket! Clyff: We�d better find its tools before the sun goes down. I totally don�t want this demon sucking our blood again. (Scene 2) (Upstairs in the bedroom, Forkk and Spoonx are playing checkers.) Forkk: Know what�s pathetic, Spoonx� Spoonx: Hobo Nation! Forkk: Those kids have been downstairs scaring themselves for a whole day now. Spoonx: Ooooooh! Forkk: All because of a prank letter and your big mouth. Spoonx: (Sings a meaningless array of words in opera.) Forkk: That gives me an idea. Spoonx: Dell me abooit it, gran�mah! Forkk: We should play one last joke on them. Spoonx: Oh! Yah! Yummy! (Stuffs checkers into mouth) End of Act 5 Act 6 (Downstairs. Winifred, Clyff, Posh, and Pooka are in the computer room sitting on the floor in a circle.) Winifred: Alright, here�s the plan. We search the house bottoms up. This room will be our home base until the demon is out. If anyone finds anything the tiniest bit suspicious, bring it in here and we�ll look at it later. Any questions? Clyff: Do you like ranch dressing? Winifred: Yes. It�s my favorite dressing in the whole wide world. Now lets move. (Shot from the side of the door on the outside. The mob is seen jogging heroically into separate rooms.) (Shot in Nick�s room. Pooka is looking through his underwear drawer. She holds up a pair, looks inside and inspects both sides.) Pooka: Nothing here! (Shot of Winifred stooping next to the toilet. She looks inside, and then shuts the lid. She gestures to it when speaking.) Winifred: Nothing here! (Shot of closet, one door is open and inside is dark. A muffled voice is heard-) Clyff: I�m stuck! (Posh is now holding the camera. She walks up to the stairwell door, opens it, flips on the light and looks through piles of boxes and other miscellaneous crud. When she reaches the furthermost corner there is a black doctor�s bag. Her hand is seen reaching for it and turning it to see it from all angles.) Posh: Hey, I think I�ve found something! (gasp) A spider! Get it away!! (Posh screams as if she has seen a ghost. Camera goes all over the place. All that is seen is a blur with an occasional hand in a swatting motion in the foreground. She stops screaming. Camera falls to the floor and tapes the wall and the corner of a box for a few more seconds. Silence.) (A few minutes later. We are now at home base with Clyff, Winifred, Pooka, and Posh. The bag sits in the middle of their circle.) Clyff: Geez Posh. It was just a little spider. Posh: (Preppy-girl �t� noise) I don�t like thpiderth. They thcare me. (Flicks wrist, then gets impatient) Can we look in the bag now? (Takes the bag and unzips it. Reaches in and takes out a handful of something.) �Straws?? Pooka: Huh? Clyff: So that�s where my favorite crazy straw went! Winifred: I guess this explains our spots. End of Act 6 Act 7 (Scene 1) (There is a knock at the door.) Clyff: Come in. (The door opens, and Fork and Spoonx collapse onto the floor. It seems like some unknown force is attacking them.) Forkk: Helpp-p�The demon�It�s attacking� (trying to crawl, wheezing and gasping for air, reaches toward the kids with one arm) Spoonx: (Flopping like a beached whale) Busted ankle! (Forkk slowly crawls closer. Spoonx kicks and rolls in that general direction. The kids are backing into a corner and scared to death. Forkk is still gasping for air. It seems like one of his legs are paralyzed or something. Spoonx is making strange noises. The kids are screaming bloody murder and yelling at them to stay away.) Forkk: The�the poke�poke of doom! (His outstretched hand folds into a pointed finger. It shakes violently as it edges closer. The kids are now squished into the corner as far as they can get. Spoonx is almost as close as Forkk is, flopping and convulsing. Just when the kids are about to die of fright, Spoonx lies still on the floor and Forkk gets to his feet and says-) Forkk: Take a joke, won�t you? You�re all so gullible. (Forkk sulks out of the room. Spoonx gets up, laughs his head off and pokes them for a while, and then runs out.) Pooka: (yelling loud enough so that Forkk and Spoonx will hear) I will take no more crap from the both of you! Do not come back down until you have something intelligible to do with yourselves! (Shot of Forkk with a wicked grin, one eyebrow raised) (Back to home base) Winifred: I think it�s time we had a s�ance. We need some real responses from this demon. (Scene 2) (Now the room is dimmed. The kids are sitting around an ouija board surrounded by miscellaneous candles.) Winifred: I would like to begin by saying that this group is of a good and delicious nature�wait, nevermind. Posh, carry on. (Switches places with Posh in front of the board) Posh: First, I need all of you to wear these. (Distributes a folded newspaper hat to everyone and puts the last one on her head) They will help to protect us from the evil spirit. Now I need everyone to join hands and repeat after me. (She recites the Pledge of Allegiance line by line, which they repeat.) Now we will proceed. Everyone place a hand on the finder. (They obey.) Oh, Great VooDoo Vamp, we need your answers! By the power of the Jehovah�s Witness, come- Clyff: Don�t forget the Amish! Posh: By the power of the Jehovah�s Witness and the Amish, come forth, and reveal yourself! (A few moments pass. Clyff belches. Posh draws her breath slightly and whispers-) Posh: Did you hear that? It�s a sign! Oh my gosh, what�s that smell�it�s definitely a sign. Somebody ask it something! Clyff: Do you like ranch dressing? Pooka: It�s moving! (The finder moves to �Yes�) Yes! It likes ranch dressing! Clyff: Right on! Posh: Shush, it�s saying something else�S�P�O�R�K�spork?? Are you sure we�re doing this right? Pooka: (Whispering) Listen! Do you hear that? (Crawls over and puts ear to the door) Something is out there� Clyff: Let�s check it out. Posh: Alright. Winifred, you guard the bag while we�re gone. End of Act 7 Act 8 (Our hatted heroes exit the room. It is dark, except for a strange light [a blacklight] and noises coming from the ping-pong room.) Clyff: (whispering) What is that? (The kids sneak to the side of the doorway and peek around the corner, just for a second or two. The camera does the same and catches a glimpse of what is inside.) Pooka: (is truly disgusted) I thought I made it clear to them that they should quit trying to play pranks on us! Posh: Hey, it�s not so bad. Now�s our chance to get back at them. Let�s play along. Pooka: (evilly) Okay�ready? (Pooka puts a finger over her mouth and runs into the room, followed by the other two and the cameraman. Forkk is playing an electric guitar. Spoonx is playing pots and pans. They have a glazed look in their eyes, staring straight ahead but their bodies still move freely. Green Day � Kerplunk is playing in the background to make them sound somewhat professional.) Clyff, Pooka, and Posh: (something along the lines of) Woo! Party! Oh yeah! (The three start dancing and mosh pitting. A while later Pooka bumps Posh a little to hard. Posh falls onto the floor, and Nunca gets up.) Nunca: You loons! You�re even more idiotic than I thought! Pooka: Nunca, we need to talk! (Pooka leads Nunca by the wrist out of the room. Nunca looks behind her and gnashes her teeth to the camera as she is being dragged.) Clyff: What�s a loon? End of Act 8 Act 9 (Pooka drags Nunca to the couch and sits her down on one end. She sits down on the other couch close to her. Note that the couches create a 90-degree angle, in case you didn�t know and needed some better visualization.) Pooka: Okay, why is it that you showed up the very next day after we won the demon? Something tells me you�re linked to this, are you not? Nunca: Not exactly. Pooka: Shut up with your �not exactly�s and tell me! Nunca: There is no link. It was all me. Pooka: You?�What? Nunca: I wrote the letter. Pooka: YOU wrote the letter? Nunca: I wrote the letter. Pooka: You WROTE the LETTER? Nunca: I wrote the letter. Pooka: You wrote TH- Nunca: Yes!! Pooka: Why? Nunca: I was looking for a laugh, and I was thirsty�for blood. Didn�t you think there was a better reason why Posh�s blood never was sucked? Pooka: What about Spoonx? Did you possess him? Nunca: No. It was all in your heads. Pooka: You mean�when we hid from you in that room for eight hours�you were in there with Posh the whole time? Nunca: Aren�t you smart. But I�m possessing him now. Forkk too. Pooka: Grrr! I thought they were kidding with us! (Yanks Nunca out of her seat and back into the room. Walks up to Spoonx and shakes him.) Wake up! Spoonx wake up! (Walks up to Forkk) Hello, can you hear me?? Forkk!! (Turns around and shakes Nunca violently) Wake them up! Now!! (All the shaking makes Nunca lose control over Forkk and Spoonx. They stop playing their instruments and look around. The music stops.) Pooka: Thank you! Now how can I rid your disgusting existence from our house? Nunca: There�s only one way to free me from Posh and destroy me forever�the magic word. Pooka: Oh! I know: Please! Nunca: No. It�s not quite that simple. Pooka: Clyff! What was that word from the ouija board?! Clyff: Spork! Pooka and Clyff: (chanting) Spork! Spork! Spork! Spork! Spork! (and so on.) Nunca: NOOOOOOOOO!!! (Clyff and Pooka shut head) No, that�s not the word. (Pooka sighs, Clyff groans. They are very annoyed.) Clyff: I knew that thing was defective. Spoonx: Vamos! Nunca: (exaggerated gasp) No! He said it! How did he�know�(falls to the floor, face first. Posh rises.) Pooka: Hey Posh, good news! We destroyed your evil alter-personality! Posh: Um�yeah�that�s just�great I guess. Clyff: Spoonx! How did you know the magic word?! Spoonx: Mini ladle! End of Act 9 Act 10 (The camera is staring at Forkk, who is mocking The Narrator very poorly.) Narrator: And so, as in most cases, evil was destroyed by utter stupidity. As for the rest of our cast�well, they lived. Winifred and Posh were oblivious to most of the story, so they pretty much got on with their normal lives after that. Forkk and Spoonx couldn�t have cared less about the incident, so they were left unchanged as well. As for Pooka and Clyff�well�they just felt special. End of Act 10 (Shot of all our characters in the ping-pong room. Pooka, Posh, Winifred, and Clyff still wear their newspaper hats. The lights are flashing and the blacklight is still on. The music is playing louder than before. Spoonx and Forkk are playing their instruments. Everyone else is dancing around/moshing/acting like an idiot. Even Forkk looks happy. Well, somewhat at least.) The End.
Tales from Other Lands (A ripoff of the ripoff of the St. Francisville Experiment, which was a ripoff of the Blair Witch Project, and also has a small ripoff of The Ring) by Clarissa Palmieri Act 1 � Insomniac Haven ::Scene 1:: (Nighttime � everyone is lying in bed, but Spoonx is the only one asleep) Narrator: Our previous series of events turned out a little more traumatic than previously expected. Pooka and Clyff now have a serious case of insomnia, which keeps everyone else awake every night. For instance� Clyff: Guys?�Did you hear that? Forkk: Shut up. It�s just Spoonx snoring. Now won�t you let me get some sleep? (rolls over to face away from Clyff) (A few moments of silence. Awakening from a dream, Pooka sits up abruptly.) Pooka: Nunca! She�s back! She has her own body now! Clyff: Are you serious? Where is she? Pooka: I don�t know, but we have to go find her�and kill her. Clyff: Okay! Come on people, we�re off to disembowel Nunca! (Pooka and Clyff try to pull people out of bed) Forkk: It was just a nightmare. Get away from me. Posh: Leave me alone! I haven�t gotten an ounce of sleep tonight because of you two! Spoonx: Killer turnips. Pooka & Clyff: Killer turnips? (Look at each other) Killer turnips! (scream) (Everyone groans in frustration/exhaustion.) Forkk: Spoonx�You are an idiot. ::Scene 2:: (The kids are very extremely tired. They act almost drunken.) Narrator: Now it has been a full week since our cast has gotten a wink of sleep, and you can surely tell that they are just a bit overtired. Posh: Forkk� Forkk: Uh. Posh: I�m tired. Forkk: Uh. Winifred: We should try going outside for some fresh air and exercise. Forkk: (In agreement) Uh. Pooka: Yeah. That should wake us up a little. (All rise to their feet with great difficulty, except for Clyff who hasn�t been able to even sit up yet.) Clyff: I can�t get up. (Pooka and Spoonx drag Clyff painstakingly out the door, as the rest stagger outside as well.) ::Scene 3:: (As soon as Forkk reaches the lawn, he collapses into the grass. Clyff is helped to his feet. Forkk makes no effort to get up.) Winifred: Well�how does tag sound? Posh: Muy bien, y tu? Spoonx: Your hat looks absoluteleh smashing! Posh: De nada. Pooka: Sure. Let�s play. Spoonx: We�ll have a bloody good time! Posh: Hola! (waves at camera) Winifred: �Okay then. Clyff, you can be it I suppose. (Clyff�s legs won�t move, so he uses his arms to swim. While doing this, he accidentally tags Pooka and starts to fall. He tries to do a very fast front-crawl to keep from doing so, but he fails and hits the dirt. Just then, everyone remembers that they should start running, and do so with a limp and/or stagger. The camera stays stationary. Pooka chases the kids still on their feet to the right of the camera�s view so that we can�t see them. Then Pooka herds them in the other direction and tags Spoonx within the cam�s view. Spoonx flops to the ground close to where Forkk and Clyff are, but Forkk probably isn�t there because he is most likely operating the camera at the moment. The group continues running offstage. L to R: Winifred tags Posh, who flops as well. R to L: Winifred trips and falls before Pooka can tag her, and Pooka trips over her.) (New shot of the sky, maybe a cloud or two.) Clyff: I never knew the sky was purple. Posh: That isn�t the sky. That�s a cloud. Clyff: Oh. Well then it�s red. Forkk: Uh. Pooka: Yeah, goldfish are swimming around in my head too. Spoonx: And happy bubbles! Posh: Earth must be a giant fishbowl, don�t you think so? Forkk: Uuuuh. AEnd!A Act 2 � Hobo Nation ::Scene 1:: (The kids have fallen asleep, but they are in the middle of a snowy endless field of nothingness. They awaken. Spoonx is missing.) Clyff: Wow. I feel better now. Pooka: That was the best nap I�ve ever taken. Now I�m hungry. Where did the house run off to? Winifred: I don�t know�it was there when we fell asleep, wasn�t it? Posh: Maybe�I dunno. Clyff: You know that story about Rip Van Winkle, where he drinks fairy gin and falls asleep for years and years, and when he wakes up everything is gone�What if that�s what just happened to us? Posh: No way. If that had happened, I�d have a hangover about now. Clyff: Rip didn�t have one either. Posh: Oh� (Pause) Winifred: Where did Spoonx go? Pooka: Oh, you know Spoonx. He never sleeps for long. Posh: Yeah, sleep is pretty much useless to him. He�s always got gallons of energy to put to waste. He can�t be too far. Forkk: Ya know, I don�t think I should have taught that kid about pranks. I�m starting to think that he�s the one behind this. Winifred: Hmm. Clyff: Hmm. (Everyone hmms for awhile) Forkk: Okay! (They stop) Enough. Let�s just find him and see. Pooka: (calling) Spoonx! Where are you!?! (Everybody joins in and calls Spoonx) ::Scene 2:: (Camera aimed at Spoonx. He is running toward the camera from a pretty good distance.) Clyff: WHAT is THAT??! Pooka: It�s the yeti! Posh: It�s the drunken lactose-intolerant retarded hostile synchronized turkey army!! Forkk: It�s a bird�it�s a pl- Okay, motivation lost. Winifred: No no, it�s only Spoonx. (New shot. Spoonx is closer now.) Narrator: Ten minutes later. Posh: That guy may have a lot of energy, but man can he run slow. (A few moments later, Spoonx finally approaches the group.) Spoonx: Kawitchima! I am Spoonx, the ruler of all Hobo Nation. Welcome to Planet Zit, mah homelahnd. Winifred: Reeaaaally. Clyff: You mean we�re on another planet right now? Spoonx: Yah. Forkk: I always knew he was an alien. Winifred: How did we get here? Spoonx: I dunno. Forkk: *choke choke cough*-STUPID-*choke cough cough* Pooka: So�where are all the citizens of Hobo Nation that you supposedly rule?? Posh: Yeah, where are the hobos? Spoonx: Yummy. (Pats stomach heartily) Clyff: Well, that explains his�large appearance. Spoonx: Bye! (Skips away into the distance) Forkk: Great. Spoonx just left us stranded on a deserted far-away planet with no means of getting back home. Pooka: And I�m still hungry. Posh: I think you speak for all of us. Winifred: Hopefully Spoonx hasn�t eaten everything on the whole planet yet. First we�ll try to scavenge for some food, and then find a way to get out of here. Clyff: Sounds like a plan, man. Winifred: Alright (looks around)�how does this direction look? (points up a hill leading to nowhere, just like where every other direction goes. Camera follows where the finger points to show an icy, desolate nothing.) Forkk: Uhm�sure. Pooka: Okay, let�s go. I�m starving. (Everybody begins walking) NEnd!N Act 3 � Lost Loot ::Scene 1:: (Still walking�) Clyff: (discovers a pair of footsteps in the snow) Hey, there are fresh footprints here! We must not be alone after all. Pooka: Let�s follow them. Posh: And eat whoever made them. Clyff: Okay. (They start picking up speed and follow the footprints down into a small valley. Then they walk through some bushes at the bottom.) Winifred: Something�s here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pooka: Is it food? Winifred: I�m not sure. (Everyone gathers around to see a skeleton of some sort.) Forkk: I wonder what that thing looked like when it was alive. Pooka: Well? Is there anything left we can eat? Winifred: (Looking closely at it, then concludes) Not a speck. Whatever made those tracks must have been pretty hungry. Clyff: There it is! (Points up to the top of the other edge of the valley) (New shot � Camera is on Spoonx, standing where Clyff was pointing) Posh: It�s Spoonx. Spoonx: Bye! (Waves and runs out of view) Forkk: (yelling to Spoonx) You NINCOMPOOP!!! Pooka: (ready to kill) That�selfish�little� Winifred: Don�t worry. There�s bound to be more out there for us. Posh: At this rate, I�m beginning to doubt that. Forkk: Yep. It�s hopeless. Clyff: Well then let�s get back to where we started and figure out a master plan to get home. Pooka: Ugh. Fine. (The kids trudge back in the direction where they came from.) ::Scene 2:: Narrator: One hour later. Pooka: I don�t think it took us this long to get to the skeleton. Are you sure we�re not lost? Clyff: Of course I�m sure! I know exactly where we�re going. Pooka: As you say, mister know-nothing. (They are now in a small valley walking through some shrubbery.) Winifred: (Finds a rotting carcass hidden in the shrubs) Guys�bad news. I think we�re back at the dead body. Forkk: What?? Are you sure it�s the same one? Posh: (Gets a good look at it) It�s the same one�no�it can�t be�(Sinks to the ground, sobbing) (The rest go into hysterics, as Posh rocks back and forth in the background saying to herself �no�no��)(camera fades out) LEnd!L Act 4 � First Feast (It�s late afternoon. The kids are sitting in a circle. They look scared but they are quiet and serious instead of hysteric.) Winifred: It�s okay everybody, it�s not as bad as you think. Finding our starting point isn�t that important. I suggest we set up camp here tonight. We can make a fire with those bushes to keep warm. Clyff: As long as we get out of here by tomorrow. Forkk: As long as Spoonx isn�t around to bother us. Posh: As long as- Pooka: Enough of your jabbermouths! Let�s just get a fire going before the sun goes down. Posh: But we weren�t finished with our conversation yet. Pooka: Wouldn�t you rather finish it around a nice warm campfire? Posh: Well�I guess so. Pooka: Okay then. (The group scatters to search for wood.) *** (They are now sitting around a pile of burnable stuff. Pooka kneels by it.) Pooka: Now for the hard part�lighting the campfire. (Grabs a stick and starts twisting it against a piece of wood) Forkk: Uhh�this might take a while. *** (Pooka is still trying) Narrator: One hour later. Clyff: I think I see a spark! Posh: Really? Clyff: Just kidding. Posh: Dang it. (Silence. Forkk pushes Clyff. Clyff pushes back. They fight for awhile, then return to their bored positions with Winifred and Posh, watching Pooka.) Pooka: Smoke! I see smoke! (New shot � It�s getting pretty dark. There is a large fire in the firepit. Everyone rises and dances around it, yelling �Fire! Woohoo!� Then they stop and start warming their hands.) Clyff: That wait was sure worth it. Pooka: Yeah, but I really wish we had some food to roast. Forkk: (Looking beyond the light of the fire) Don�t tell me that�s Spoonx. (Camera pans over to where he is looking. Something short is moving towards them.) Clyff: That�s way too small to be him, dudes. Winifred: It looks like a�lawn gnome. Forkk: A lawn gnome? Pooka: FOOD!!! Posh: Seize him! (The thing picks up speed as Pooka runs over and tackles it.) Posh: Impale him! (Forkk runs over with a stick. New shot from lawn gnome�s view. The firelight illuminates Forkk�s insane grin. He is holding the stick above his head, but then he thrusts it downward. The camera shuts off.) (New shot � Forkk holds the impaled gnome over the fire, turning it slowly.) Pooka: (jumping up and down) Is it done yet, is it done yet? Forkk: Sure why not. (Takes it from the fire and sets it down) (Everyone takes a piece and tastes it.) Pooka: Mmm! I never knew lawn gnomes were so good! Clyff: Tastes like chicken. Winifred: It�s a little tough. Posh: Who cares? BEnd!B Act 5 � Turkeys! ::Scene1:: (It�s nighttime. The fire has died down a little. The children are lying around the campfire, getting some rest.) Posh: What is maple syrup doing on my shoe? Clyff: Maybe it�s poo. Posh: Poo?! (Rolls over to face them) I hope it�s not synchronized turkey poo! Winifred: There�s no such thing as synchronized turkeys, Posh. Forkk: It�s called a childhood fear. Now get over it. Posh: Fine then! Good night! (rolls back over and tries to sleep) Clyff: Winnie? Winifred: Yes? Clyff: Ever get the feeling that you�re being watched? Winifred: Yes. Posh: (Turns to face them again) Stop trying to scare me and go to sleep! (Lays down once more) Clyff: But I�m scared. Pooka: Me too. Posh: (looks at the two) You STILL have insomnia? Forkk: *sigh* This is going to be a long night. ::Scene 2:: (It is the middle of the night. The fire has gone out, and it�s pitch black.) Pooka: Winifred! Posh is gone! Forkk: Good riddance. Pooka: No, I�m serious! She�s not here! (Clucking and gobbling is heard in the distance.) Clyff: Do you hear that? Pooka: (yelling) Posh! Is that you? (Screaming is heard in the distance. Clyff and Pooka start to get scared.) Clyff: Should we go find her? Winifred: No! It�s too dangerous. Clyff: Is that your best reason? Winifred: Well, I was going to say that I was too scared, but I thought that I would sound wimpy. Clyff: Oh, okay then. (yelling) POSH!! Pooka: (yelling) Tell me where you are, Posh!!! (They sob quietly. Gobbling is heard again. Camera shuts off.) ::Scene 3:: (Morning.) Pooka: (still scared) I think we�re safe now. The sun is up. We can search for her now. Forkk: Sure. It�s not like I have anything better to do. (They get up and start walking.) Winifred: Come on Forkk, don�t you care the smallest bit about Posh? Forkk: Y�I mean no. Pooka: Some friend you are. Clyff: Is that a building I see up there? Pooka: I think it is! Winifred: Maybe Posh is there. Forkk: Maybe some INTELLIGENT life forms are there, who have brains larger than a hydrogen atom�unlike some people I know. (They run towards the building) HEnd!H Act 6 � One Day Only at da Bum Caf� (The kids are walking up to the door. It opens.) Waitress: (is wearing an apron) Good morning, children. Pooka: Umm�hi. Waitress: Come in. (She lets them in, shuts the door behind them, and shows them into a kitchen.) Welcome to the Bum Caf�. Would you like something to eat or drink? Forkk: (snottily) We don�t have any money. Waitress: Oh, it�s on the house. I haven�t gotten customers for years! Here are some menus. (She hands them each a menu, then takes out a pad of paper and writes as they order.) Clyff: Hmm�the pancake breakfast sounds good. I�ll take that, please. And a cup of crappuccino�I mean cappuccino. Winifred: Eggs and toast, please. Pooka: I�ll try some rasberry crepes with a glass of milk. Forkk: Gimme a steak, medium-rare. Waitress: Alright, your breakfast will be ready in a few! (Gathers menus and begins cooking) Clyff: (after a pause) Hey, Miss Waitress? Waitress: Yes? Clyff: How do you know how to speak English? Waitress: English? What is English? Clyff: It�s a language. Waitress: Never heard of it. The only language I speak is Hobian. Pooka: Miss Waitress�you haven�t happened to see a girl wandering around here, have you? Waitress: Nope. All I�ve seen within the past couple of days is that stupid flock of turkeys. They stole my maple syrup again last night. Pooka: Hmm. Clyff: Hmm. Winifred: Hmm. Forkk: Hmmmmm. Waitress: Here you are! (Places their food in front of them. Their cups and plates are filled with either snow or ice cubes.) Clyff: Huh? What�s this? Forkk: I ordered a steak, yo! Waitress: This is a planet full of ice and snow. What were you expecting? Pooka: Well you could have at least served us lawn gnome, or turkey, or something! Waitress: This is a vegetarian diner, didn�t I tell you? Clyff: But, why?? Waitress: For one thing, Lord Spoonx hates gnomes. I used to serve them just to spite him, but then he threatened to eat us alive if I didn�t take them off the menu. And as for turkeys�you just don�t wanna mess with them. So all I have left to eat is ice and snow. Winifred: Sad, sad. Clyff: Well then what�s that TOASTER for? Waitress: That�s��none of your business!!! (stomps out of the room) Clyff: �sorry I asked. Pooka: What�s her problem? (The telephone rings. Pooka answers.) Hello? (A faint whisper is heard from the receiver. It says �Seven Days.� Pooka screams.) Forkk: Let me guess�It was a telemarketer. Pooka: We have to get out of here! Come on! (Takes Forkk and Winifred by the shirt and drags them towards the door. Clyff follows.) (End!( Act 7 � Return of the Posh (Shot from the outside doorstep. They walk out of the door and shut it. Pooka lets go of Forkk and Winnie and leads them at a fast pace away from the house.) Winifred: What�s wrong, Pooka? Pooka: I don�t want to talk about it! Let�s just get out of here! Forkk: And how does walking help us get back to Earth? Pooka: It doesn�t, I�m just putting a safe distance between me and that restaurant first! Winifred: I think I see another dead body over there. Clyff: (Looks in the same direction as Winifred) It�s looking an awful lot like Posh� Forkk: Awesome! (They run to the body, Forkk in the lead. They try to awaken Posh. Forkk stands there and stares at the ordeal. Finally she opens her eyes and blinks at them.) Pooka: Posh! What happened to you?! Posh: The turkeys! They tried to eat me! They kidnapped me in my sleep and drenched me with maple syrup�but then I woke up and chased them all away! And then I went back to sleep. Clyff: Glad you�re back, man. (They lay down on the ground to think, disregarding all the snow under them. New shot of the sky.) Winifred: We need some brainpower, kids. If there�s a way in, there�s got to be a way out. Clyff: (after a pause) What were we doing right before we got here? Forkk: You all played tag. Clyff: You didn�t play, and you�re still here. Couldn�t be that. Pooka: We fell asleep� Posh: Couldn�t have been that either. Last time we fell asleep, instead of getting back home, I was almost eaten by hostile turkeys! Winifred: Maybe it has something to do with how we fell asleep. Clyff: You mean, like, how we fell asleep on the ground and stuff? Winifred: Nah�sleeping on the ground here last night didn�t seem to do anything. Posh: Well�we were really really tired when we conked out� Pooka: How long had it been since the last time we slept? Forkk: About a week probably. Pooka: Seven days� Forkk: Yeah Pooka, a week is seven days. Pooka: No, that�s what the voice said on the phone! Seven days! It all makes sense now! Spoonx called us up to give us a hint! Forkk: The feeling that Spoonx is slightly smarter than me is quite offensive. Clyff: So we can�t sleep for another whole week?? Posh: Hey, it won�t be that hard with you and Pooka around. Winifred: Let us hope you�re right. 6End!6 Act 8 � Seven Days ::Day 1:: Narrator: Day one. (Forkk stretches his arms and yawns a continuous string of yawns) Pooka: Forkk�don�t tempt me. ::Day 2:: Narrator: Day two. (A lone turkey is traveling about 15 feet away from the kids.) Clyff: Winifred, a turkey! Pooka: Hey you little turkey lurkey, where are your little friendy wendy bendies? Winifred: I�ll take care of it. (Picks a stick off the ground and tiptoes towards it. Kneels to the ground, holding the stick out in front of her.) Here turkey turkey turkey�(Shakes the stick. The turkey approaches cautiously) Here turkey turkey�(The turkey is very close now. When it gets close enough to smell the stick, she whacks it over the head with it.) Posh: Oooh, shafted! Pooka: FOOD!!! (Everyone dives into a pile on the bird and starts eating it.) Winifred: Now wait just a minute!! (They obey.) Don�t you think we should eat this a little more ceremoniously? I mean, this bird seems like a pretty rare catch, don�t you think? Pooka: (bummed) I guess so. Clyff: You suck! ::Day 3:: Narrator: Day three. (It�s night. Half the kids are playing African drums, and the other half is dancing around the fire, chanting. Winifred roasts the turkey on a stick.) Winifred: The delicious turkey is now ready to be consumed! (They howl and dig in without hesitation.) Forkk: Is that Spoonx again? Posh: (looks) Again?!? Clyff: Sheesh. Pooka: But he�s holding something this time� (They wait for him to approach while eating and then make a space to let him into the circle.) Forkk: What do YOU want? Spoonx: (to Winifred) Congratulations. You are the first in the history of Planet Zit to kill a turkey! I give you the medal of Zit Honor! (Throws the medal at Winifred. She picks it up off the ground as Spoonx says) Bye! (Runs away) Clyff: (yells after him while shaking a fist) Hey! I want one! ::Day 4:: Narrator: Day four. (They are sitting around the fire pit, which is a pile of soot. The drums are gone.) Clyff: I�m starting to get the idea that we were hallucinating last night. Pooka: Me too. Fires don�t just appear like that. I personally know how hard it is to start them. Posh: I don�t think those African drums were there either. Africa isn�t even on this planet! Winifred: Spoonx really did visit us though. I still have my medal! (shows it off) Clyff: You suck! ::Day 5:: Narrator: Day five. Posh: (Sees some green leaves poking out of the ground) Hey, look at that! (Walks over and pulls it up) Aaaaaaaaaah! (It attacks her and she fights it, falling to the ground.) Pooka: (Wrestles it away and throws it a short distance) Wow. Spoonx wasn�t kidding when he said killer turnips. Winifred: I wouldn�t be surprised if there were mini ladles around here too. Clyff: And happy bubbles! Forkk: Ugh. That�s even worse than killer turnips. ::Day 6:: Narrator: Day six. (Everyone goes insane about being bored and tired.) [Wing it.] ::Day 7:: Narrator: Day seven. (The kids� arms are around each other�s shoulders swaying back and forth singing �The Beer Song.� On �ew!� they fall to the ground and pass out.) MEnd!M Act 9 � Homelahnd (All but Spoonx lie back on Earth, in the same place where they had fallen asleep. Pooka awakens.) Pooka: Oh no, I fell asleep!�(gets up) Wait, we�re home! (Yells so the rest will wake up) We�re home!! Clyff: Sweet. (They walk back to the door.) Forkk: I hope Spoonx decided to stay on his home planet. (They reach the door and open it. Spoonx is dressed up in pimp clothes) Spoonx: Welcome to da crib yo! (Spills a string of meaningless slang) Forkk: Crap. Spoonx: Fo� shizzy mah nizzy! (Spills a longer strand) I like pancakes! Clyff: That�s gotta be slang for crack. OEnd!O Act 10 � The End (Everyone freezes.) Narrator: Well, I guess our cast will never be able to understand or even get rid of Spoonx. Only one conclusion can be drawn from this sorry plot. Get plenty of sleep. Otherwise you will get yourself in terrible situations that only a complete idiot can pull you out of. AND GUARD THE MAPLE SYRUP WITH YOUR LIFE!!! The End. (credits roll as the kids sing some random dorky song.)
