(Max) Who?

(Alesia) Singing Tuby United People In Dead end jobs!

(Haden) What are you guys doing here?

(S.T.U.P.I.D. 1) Chill, Red. We're not her for you. Today.

(Alesia) You're not touching Max!

(S.T.U.P.I.D. 1) Who's gonna stop us? You?

(Mr. Austin) No. Me.

(S.T.U.P.I.D. 1) You? What can you do?

(Alesia) We have to get out of here.

__The Threshold__


 * Dialogue**

(Mr. Austin) Can I please speak to Max, Alesia, and Haden in the hallway?

(Alesia) Max, we've gotta go. Now.

(Mr. Austin) No. Not yet. I have to show you something.

(Haden) What's wrong?

(Mr. Austin) Britney.Dr. T sent us this letter and... well... look.

(Letter, in serial letters) I have kidnapped the girl. Come to The Tower in The Valley. I shall trade Max for the girl.

Live, Laugh, Love

Dr. T (Picture of Dr. T)

(Max) We have to save her!

(Mr. Austin) But we can't risk you!

(Haden) We'll figure something out on the way. Paul, do you think you can cover for us?

(Max) Who's Paul?

(Mr. Austin) Me. You see, Haden, Alesia, Britney, Lexi and I have been working undercover. To protect you. However, since I'm the most famous, I had to change my name. To not get caught.

(Max) Bu-

(Alesia) No time! We'll answer questions in the car.

(Haden) Hop in M- Oh no. Dr. T's here.

(Alesia) Max, I'm not gonna lie. This isn't gonna be easy. Or safe. So, if you wanna back out, go ahead.

(Max, stepping into the car) No way am I backing out. We're all in this together.

(Haden and Alesia smile.)

(Haden) Next stop, The Valley!

(Alesia) What about the bathroom?

(Haden) Okay, that doesn't count.

(Alesia) And eating?

(Haden) That doesn't count either.

(Alesia) Then what does count?

__The Challenges__

(Page 1):

(The car is shown on the screen)


 * Text Box**

Somewhere on the highway in the middle of Texas


 * Dialogue**

(Max) Can we //please// eat something?

(Haden) Where do you suppose we find this place to eat? Shall I conjure it up out of the glover compartment?

(Alesia) I saw a sign for a diner a couple of miles back. It should be, um, let's see. Three exits up, if memory serves. But we should go in disguise.

(There is a big diner in front of them)

(Haden) Dr. M's Diner of Fun. Well, it's better than nothing, I suppose.

(Max) I highly doubt that.

(The three are sitting in a booth)

(S.T.U.P.I.D 3) We shall beat the futile attempts of the other S.T.U.P.I.Ds. They //are// **just** children. They have put the master in a bad mood, but //we// will not fail.

(S.T.U.P.I.Ds 3 and 4 walk up to the kids)

(S.T.U.P.I.D 3) Excuse me, children, but do you happen to know how to fix a cars engine? I'm afraid mine's quite broken.

(Max) Um, sure. I'll help.

(Alesia) Max, wait. These are S.T.U.P.I.D.s.

(S.T.U.P.I.D. 3) That's preposterous!

(S.T.U.P.I.D 4) But, Eddy, we are S.T.U.P.I.Ds!

(S.T.U.P.I.D 3) Quiet, you imbecile!

(Haden) You guys had better get out of here. Or else we're going to get Paul.

(S.T.U.P.I.D. 3) He's not even with you!

(Haden) Are you sure you want to take that chance?

(S.T.U.P.I.D 3) Come along, Bill. Let's go.

__Page 2__


 * Dialogue**

(Alesia) Well, then. If //you// say it, it must be true!

(Haden) Well it is true!

(Max) Stop fighting.

(Alesia) Maybe he's different.

(Haden) He's not su-

(Max) Would you two just SHUT UP!

(Plants wrap around the ankles of Haden and Alesia)

(Haden) Told ya so!

(Max) What's going on?

(Alesia) You just discovered your power. You can manipulate plants to do your bidding.

(Max) Awesoeme!

(Haden) Well, Dr. T thought his power of killing or bringing small animals back to life was awesome...

(Alesia) ... and now he's evil.

(Max) So... now what?

(Alesia) Unfortunately, no one can teach you how to control this. So, unfortunately, you have to face //him//. Alone.

(Haden) If you beat him, you save Britney...

(Alesia) ...but if you lose, we all die.


 * Text Box**

20 minutes of very awkward silence later...


 * Dialogue**

(Max) So, let's go...I guess.

__The Abyss__

(The Tower is behind Max, Haden, and Alesia)


 * Text Box**

The Tower in The Valley


 * Dialogue**

(Alesia) Well, they are expecting us. Maybe we should just... walk in?

(4 S.T.U.P.I.D.s walk up to them)

(S.T.U.P.I.D 3) The Master is discontent.

(S.T.U.P.I.D 1) He wants us to bring you.

(Haden) Or they could take us.


 * Text Box**

In The Tower


 * Dialogue**

(Dr. T) I've been expecting you. You may take the girl.

(Britney) Max!

(Dr. T throws Britney to Max)

(Dr. T) Now I shall take the boy.

(Dr. T points laser at Max and shoots)

(The scene ends with a THUD)

__The Decision__

(Britney is lying on the floor)


 * Dialogue**

(Britney) Look at me, Taken down by a laser. But, Max, remember this. I love you.

(Max) Britney? Wake up!

(Max turns to Dr. T)

(Max) You! You promised she would be safe!

(Plants shoot out and capture Dr. T)

(Max) You are so lucky I'm not like you! That I can forgive!

(Max traps Dr. T in a plant cage)


 * Text Box**

Back outside The Tower with Dr. T's clothes


 * Dialogue**

(Alesia) So what are you gonna do now?

(Max) I don't know.

(Haden) Whatever you do, we're right behind you.

(Max) Then we're going home. She would've wanted that.

(Alesia) What about your powers?

(Haden) They're kind of hard to ignore.

(Max) Who are we kidding? No matter how hard we try, we're gonna get sucked back into this. As soon as they take someone we care about, we'll come back, albeit dejectedly. Just like dogs. Stupid, loyal dogs.

(Max stands looking at Earth with Alesia and Haden behind him)

(Mr. Austin/Paul) Aloha! I bring bad news. You guys gotta- No sugar in that, sweetheart- save- dum, dum, dum- Maxies Mommy! Some S.T.U.P.I.D.s got her!

(Max, thinking) What would Britney have wanted?

(Max) We'll do it. C'mon guys, we've got a mom to extricate.

The End.

Maybe...
