Series 1 Episode 4:

Sweeps Week, Part 1

Screen Written by Mr. K

 

Opening Scene:

The screenwriters have been called in for an emergency meeting. The Director has a impromptu meeting with his assistant, Trenton, over dinner (pizza). They talk about the direction of the current show. They decide to take a poll for the show to see how the public is reacting to the current caste. They also decide to call an emergency meeting to decide the fate of Ruby.

 

After dinner they wait and wait. Finally 6:03 Shawn, screenwriter and assistant, shows up. They decide to call the meeting to order, even though Andy, Liz, and Randy have not shown up. They didn’t even call. The director is not happy. They should have at least contacted Trenton, the assistant, and informed him on what was going on.

 

They took the poll results from the audience and decided to kill off Ruby. Ruby died on October 31st, 2002 at 9:15 pm. Her funeral was on November 5th, 2002 at 6:05 pm. Only a few members showed (Mr. K, Tristy, and Dante), everyone else failed to even show up for her funeral. She didn’t even have any parting words (gurgles don’t count).

 

The director and both assistants have decided that they might write in a new character. They have decided on either a Martial Artist, Amateur Demon Hunter, or a Slayer in Waiting. They are waiting on the screen writer’s decision (Randy), but they may decide to fire all three if they do not decide to show up next week. Time will tell. Heck we already lost two temporary screen writers during the second episode (Jeremy and Mike).

 

Commercial Break

 

Act 1:

Dante and Tristy are at school when they notice a scuffle going on by their lockers. One of the jocks Brian was picking on one of the nerds Julius.  Brian shoved Julius so hard he dropped all of his books. Brian ordered Julius to “pick it up, b@#$%” as he kicked him in the side. Dante had enough he slid and blocked his foot in mid stroke. Dante told him “You pick it up, dog”. Needless to say that didn’t go over very well. Brian swung at Dante, but failed miserably. Dante knocked him down. He got back up and charged at Dante, but Dante sidestepped and threw him into the opened locker and closed it all in one easy motion.

 

That brought over the Liason officer, officer Nevitt. He ordered the student to get the janitor so he could the lock cut off, but Tristy offered to attempt to pick the lock. While she was picking the lock Brian was pounding on the inside of the locker. Brian was freaking out. He smashed open the locker. The locker smashed Tristy in the nose, busting her wide open. Before the officer could even react he charge at Tristy knocking her down and began to beat her repeatedly. In a violent trust Tristy pushed (telekinetically thrusting) Brian back into the locker with such tremendous force that the locker was smashed open wider and Brian was impaled on the back hook (Tristy drew the joker from the fate deck and played a red card, plus she received six Success Levels on her Telekinesis roll). The Officer immediately called it in. Brian was a strong kid, he even managed not to die on the spot, but he did die later while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The ambulance and crew attempted to revive him, but he was too far-gone for too long.

 

Tristy was taken to the police department. Hour’s later after long and lengthy judicial involvement Tristy was let go. The ‘accident’ was left as an accident. Tristy was let go. No charges were placed on her. The police chief is rather suspicious due to her involvement in two lethal incidents (The death of Ruby at the Halloween dance).

 

They also found another dead body stuffed in a locker at school, Sean Lowell. Needless to say school was cancelled again. With all of the ‘deaths’ at school the population has decreased dramatically since the beginning of the school year.

Act 2:

Mean while Dante was gathering information on the group of ‘bullies’. See Sweep Week for further details. Randell hacked into the police database to get some basic information on the autopsy. Dante talked to some of his friends about Brian and his friends (Diego and Donny). He also found some others who had a grudge against Sean, Louise, Keith, Danielle, Peter, Donna, and even Mr. Welch. The list grew. Sean was a busy boy.

 

Dante finally was able to see Tristy when she was released from jail. They talked, but soon Tristy began to feel the pressure of the past few days. From the death of Ruby to the recent death of Brian she wigged out. Dante using his ‘resources’ at hand called Mr. K. Mr. K was out, again, on some ‘personal leave’. He told Dante that only some kind of ‘other’ type of shock might get Tristy to ‘snap’ back to reality. After being cut off by the sound of an incoming missile Dante hung up, put the cell phone away, grabs Tristy and gave her the most intense kiss of her life.

 

Commercial Break

 

Act 3:

It worked. Tristy instantly fell in love with Dante. She didn’t tell him, but she knew it was true. Dante decided to take Tristy out and get her some fresh air. They decided to go to the Pit. The Pit is the local nightlife for the teens in Pleasantville. The ‘Aztecs’ a new hip band was playing. Last week it was ‘Dingos Ate My Baby’. See Sweeps Week for further details.

 

Their dancing was cut short when Tristy spotted Diego and Donny leaving with a brown paper bag (alcohol, she got a second joker) they were being followed by three sultry dressed gang type girls that looked rather pale just like vamps. Unfortunately Dante was not nearly as perceptive (drew an ace followed by a 10 and a 7). Dante was way to preoccupied with the good looking large breasted blonde dancing up against him with the extremely low cut v-neck top (cut down to her waist) and her, umm, breast hanging out. She was dancing so hard and furious she didn’t even notice anything wrong. Tristy attempted to tell her about her situation but failed to get her attention over the extremely loud music. So took the situation into his own hands. He grabbed her boob and shoved back into her dress without her even noticing (drew a 10 plus a 8).

 

They left the dance floor and proceeded outside. Unfortunately they lost track of the boys and the gang girls. Dante did managed to hear some talking around the corner. He proceeded to approach quietly, but Tristy was not so gifted. One of the girls spotted them and let the beans out. The ‘Chicas’ held back but Diego went after Dante. Tristy flung him off of Dante with her Telekinesis. The Chicas did not hold back any further. One of them grabbed Donny and sucked him dry on the spot. The other two attack Dante and Tristy both. Blows flew Tristy was wounded and knocked down. Suddenly Hope came around the corner from her patrol. She staked the one on Tristy and proceeds to pound on one of the two that were on Dante. Finally they manage to dust both them.

 

Commercial Break

 

Finale:

Suddenly from around the corner Danny staggers back into the alley clutching his chest. “Help me”, he whispers, and collapses dead. Needless to say the whole entire gang vanishes quickly. They have no need to be involved in a third death in one day.

 

Next Week’s Preview:

The party is in a factory fighting a gang of vampires. Tristy is seen dressing in sexy lingerie. Dante is fighting a demon.
