Series 1 Episode 3

Halloween Surprise

Screen Written by Glen

 

Opening Scene:

So we start our episode at the cemetery.  Dante, Tristy, and I are standing around a gravestone calmly describing our Halloween outfits to each other.  Dante and I were trying to convince Tristy that going in the Goth style was not very cool.  About half way through explaining to Tristy that she knew nothing of the Goth style, we were rudely interrupted by a vamp that popped out of the grave we were standing around.  Dante who had been admiring his new battle-axe took the first swing at the vamp.  He promptly smacked the head stone he was sitting on and fell strait on the vamp.  Tristy tried to impale the vamp with her telekinesis but instead missed and imbedded her steak in a nearby tree.  I took a stab at the vamp and managed a minor hit to his knee.  Then Dante gathering his feet swung and cleaved the vamp to dust.  Brushing the grass nonchalantly from my shoulder I suggested that we all try the new Victorian costume shop that just opened.  We all agreed.

Act 1:

In the morning Dante, Tristy and I went and checked out the wears of Victoria’s Costume Store.  Strangely enough the owner was an insanely beautiful woman in a red dress.  “Could this be something” After Dante put his tongue back in his mouth “Men!” the lady showed him a skimpy Tarzan outfit.  While Dante was busy putting his package into the loincloth in the dressing room I noticed that the lady in red had brought the scene of Dante’s struggle onto the security screen.  While I busied myself with looking form an appropriate outfit I noticed that Tristy and all the other females were gazing transfixed to the screen like Dante was a prized pony.  Please, some girls are in need of a good wake up call. When Dante came out the girls scattered like a flock of pigeons.  I was only slightly irritated to see Tristy close in on Dante’s space.  Finally I had found what I was looking for.  A pretty white Princess outfit.  God, no one would realize it was me.  As much as I hated to admit it I could look like a Diva with a little makeup and time.  Tristy rounded out the group with a Calisto outfit.  Good, I don’t want any one sharing my style.

Act 2:

The next day at school, which was being held at the old Swiss colony factory site because the “Terrorists” had blown the crap out of the school building, we all received our midterm report cards.  Hope and Ruby were out of town today on “special assignment” for Mr. Kay.    We all had improved our GPA, my own by a whole .1, my parents will be so proud!  For some reason Dante had come in his outfit. Being it was the end of October in Wisconsin I would not have been surprised if the little guys had packed up and left town.  Despite the cold weather Dante still got a rather long line of admirers who wanted to go with Dante to the dance tonight.  What nerve! I’m like sitting right by him.  I’m I invisible?  We all had a good chuckle when a group of “friendly” guys asked Dante out.  I wish I had gotten a Polaroid! Tristy did O.K. herself but it was plain to see that she coveted Dante herself.  I stuck close to Dante and didn’t ask anyone myself.  I’d wait till later.  After lunch, which happened to be surprisingly eatable, I noticed that Dante had yet again pretended to be sick so he could go home.  To bad the real nurse had come back and Dante’s dream girl had moved on. Ha, ha, ha.  Even though Dante’s dream girl wasn’t there he still managed to get home early.

Act 3:

After school I headed home and got my costume ready and packed it in the Hearse Mobile. The vamp span computer interface my parents had put in once again told me that I only had four points to go before I lost my license.  Thank you Shut UP!  I drove over to Dante’s house to ask him if I could drive him to the dance since his car was a pile of antiquated parts.  I pulled into the driveway and parked.  I was just going shout at Dante’s window so I left the keys in the car.  After I had yelled for Dante Tristy came to the window and told me to come on up.  What the hell was she doing here?  As I stepped away from the car a black van pulled up right beside me.  The door slid open and three goons grabbed me and pulled me in.  It was Jaimal!  He reversed out of the driveway and took off.

 

Tristy told Dante what had happened and she called the police.  Then the two of them ran outside.  Just then that annoying Computer in my car can of some use.  “Dante we have to pursue them.” It said in a British accent.  Dante and Tristy jumped in and came after me.  Dante hit the nitro and was off.  The Hearse Mobile caught up quickly.  Even though my friends were right behind us I wasn’t going to sit still while I was being kidnapped.  I squirmed free of Jaimal’s Goons and launched myself onto his head.  This effectively blinded him.  It all so resulted in the van colliding head on with the swat van that was coming to rescue me. Oops.  Slam!  Jaimal his three goons and I flow through the widow shield and across the pavement.  With my catlike reflexes I managed to sustain only minimal damage.  Thank God for those gymnastic lessons.  Jaimal and his friends weren’t so lucky.  I think that even now they’re still scrapping them off the road.

Act 4:

The cops called in the paramedic and I checked out just great.  Dante came over and helped me to my feet. He never looked so good.  No can’t let him know how I feel.  I thanked Dante for helping me and not raking my car.  We drove back to his house and I changed.  Then it was off to the dance.

 

We arrived together and strolled in.  It appeared that everyone had gone to Victoria’s costume shop.  We all had started dancing when a strange feeling came over me.  I was looking around and nothing seemed right.  Where was the royal court, the guards?  Why were there peasants all over the place? It appeared that the blond haired woman warrior that was by me had the same reaction.  She kept mumbling but having to kill Xena.

Over to my left this man was clothed only in a lion cloth.  What was going on?  Then out of the blue some one hit me.  Seven people in demon masks surrounded me.  They all took a chunk out of me.  I realized then that they weren’t demons.  They must be under a spell.  Just then Tristy in her Calisto outfit throw her chakrum at another girl that was dressed as Xena.  It was Ruby!  Over on the other end I saw Hope come in as Jane.  Dante took off after her and would have pressed his manhood to the breaking point if Tristys chakrum had just missed his lion’s pride.  He staggered over to me when I told him that we were all under a spell.  It had to be the costumes.

Finale:

The only way to save our friends was to disrupt the caster that was performing the spell.  Staggering to the hearse Mobil we took off.  Those fake demons had really taken a piece of me.  We raced to the costume shop and half way there Dante heard Tristy give a telepathic shriek.  What else could happen tonight?  After phoning in that a crisis was under way at the school I considered the possible ways for distributing the spell.  Never one to be timid I simple rammed the glass doors.  Just some windshield damage, busted grill and head light. Nothing big and I had not set off the alarms.  Yes, I’m that good. As Dante crawled out of the car a bolt of lighting hit him! Oh boy what were we in store for?  Smoking from ever orifice and I mean everyone, we ran out into the back parking lot in pursuit of our assailant.  We found her stature and pentagram on the ground and promptly disposed of them.  I hope we were in time to save our friends!
