INT – BOSTON COLLEGE – ANDREWS DORM ROOM

ANDREW is stood at the mirror brushing his teeth while back street boys plays from the stereo, there’s a knock at the door.

ANDREW
(foamy)
Come in!

DAWN
Hey. Foam mouth?

Andrew spits the excess into the sink and wipes his mouth

ANDREW
Sorry

DAWN
No, I’m sorry

ANDREW
You didn’t make me foamy, silly

DAWN
No, sorry I can’t come this afternoon

ANDREW
Oh
(gutted)
Well, that’s okay I’ll ask Asia

DAWN
(awkward)
Neither can she –
(eek)
Sorry! She got kidnapped by a vampire two nights ago and I spent the whole study period trying to get her back and the paper is due in four hours and we’ve so far got our names and the wrong date.

ANDREW
Oh, then don’t worry – I, I’ll find someone else

DAWN
Connor’s not busy

ANDREW
I don’t think the comic con is really his thing

DAWN
Maybe not but, it’s not really my…
(oops)
I mean, he might surprise you
(checks watch)
Listen I really have to go, but call someone – you have friends

As Dawn leaves, Andrew looks sadly at his two tickets and then looks over at the phone.

INT – BOSTON PRISON – DAY

THALIA
It’s been a time, sorry I haven’t been over

RYAN
It’s cool, you had your…apocalypse thing

THALIA
Not apocalypse just a thing

RYAN
How’d Faith’s come back work out?

THALIA
Colourful as expected. There were demons, kidnapping and secret closets that appeared out of nowhere then vanished again.

RYAN
Life is or the form then?

THALIA
Pretty much, how’s things here?

RYAN
I feel like I escaped from Xavier’s and ended up in Trunch Hall

THALIA
Translate

RYAN
“freak” “weirdo” “monster” “he witch” last was kinda funny, but I got a beating for flinging some guy across the room

THALIA
Oh.

RYAN
That’s not so bad, except it’s the same guy I saved two weeks earlier – I’ll just leave him to die next time.

THALIA
Sounds fair.
(serious)
I miss you

Ryan looks a little alarmed at this

THALIA
We
(beat)
We miss you

RYAN
(smiling)
I miss you to
(pause)
um, all of you

Thalia gives back a half smile as they keep the phones help up, breathing but making no other sounds.

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT

Faith is sat at the end of her bed painting her nails a blood red.

MARIA (O.S)
It’s not there

FAITH
Then Dawn was in my room while I was away – do you know, does she live here now?

MARIA (O.S)
I think so

FAITH
I want to live alone again – well, Thalia’s okay but Dawn’s got her own place can’t the kid go stay with her

MARIA
(coming up from under the bed)
Talk to her

FAITH
Right. Hey Dawn – I just disappeared for three and half months then let you get kidnapped after squishing a body onto the drive – now, if you don’t mind I need space so get gone!

MARIA
I was thinking subtler

FAITH
In case it escaped your attention. It’s not exactly a talent I have.

MARIA
Anyway – I can’t find what I came for, so I’m leaving

FAITH
What were you looking for?

MARIA
Batteries

FAITH
Batteries?

MARIA
I’m single

FAITH
I here that

MARIA
Later

FAITH
Bring alizee

MARIA
You’re the run away, you bring it!
(beat)
or get it in, whatever, see you later.

CUT TO.

EXT – BOSTON TRAIN STATION

Andrew waits anxiously at the edge of the platform clutching his tickets. He rocks back and forth on his heels nervously.

His eyes widen and a lump runs through his throat as the train begins to unload.

(O.S)
Hey!

ANDREW
Hey

TUCKER
You haven’t got a hug for your big brother?

END OF PART ONE.

INT – ANDREWS DORM ROOM

Andrew is following Tucker around as he picks things from shelves and goes through things. He grabs a picture of Garrison.

TUCKER
Who’s this?

ANDREW
(snatching)
Don’t touch that

TUCKER
What is he like some sci-fi hero or something?

ANDREW
Something

TUCKER
No way! Is he…is that…
(beat)
Are you gay?

ANDREW
What? No of course I’m…I mean

TUCKER
You’re gay

ANDREW
So? You flunked Math

TUCKER
That’s your boyfriend?

ANDREW
Was

TUCKER
He dumped you?

ANDREW
He died

TUCKER
Oh.

ANDREW
Yeah…

TUCKER
Dude, you’re sick wait ‘til Mom hears this one

ANDREW
No, don’t it nothing to do with her

TUCKER
Yeah right! Her baby boy’s a fag!

ANDREW
Don’t say it like that!

TUCKER
Whatever Andrew, once a loser always loser
(pause)
Hey it’s cool with me, I’m your brother
(beat)
Just don’t tell anyone

ANDREW
That I’m gay?

TUCKER
That I’m your brother

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – LATE AFTERNOON

Faith is sat with her feet on the table winding gum around her finger in the shape of “cats crade” or at least she’s attempting and badly failing. She’s giving/clearing herself up as Thalia enters.

FAITH
Why the Celine Dion?

THALIA
Say what?

FAITH
Long face.

THALIA
Nothing

FAITH
Liar

THALIA
(taking soda from fridge)
Point?

FAITH
None.

THALIA
Good.

FAITH
Room?

THALIA
Yes.

Faith sits and counts to three on her fingers before Thalia comes springing back out of her room.

THALIA
Can I trust you?

FAITH
It’s on you

THALIA
Faith

FAITH
Thalia

THALIA
Don’t do the funny in a crisis thing

FAITH
(sarcastic surrender)
My bad – continue

THALIA
Men are assholes

FAITH
Preachin’ to the choir

THALIA
Ryan is an asshole…No, Dawn’s an asshole…no…

FAITH
Maybe you’re the asshole?

THALIA
What?

FAITH
I was trying to turn the “maybe you’re wrong, not every single other person” thing around – I failed

THALIA
Okay, back to me now?

FAITH
Sorry

THALIA
It’s just…he’s so…I don’t know but…and then

FAITH
You gonna link this into a sentence?

THALIA
Lips still moving, still talking

FAITH
Whoa, how smitten are you?

THALIA
(thinks)
Oh my god

FAITH
More.

THALIA
That’s it – I don’t hate him, I hate Dawn

FAITH
Think deeper

THALIA
No, okay I don’t hate Dawn – I hate the Piper and I hate that little girl and hate the American justice system

FAITH
Getting there

THALIA
I think it’s a little bit possible, that I may have the littlest crush on him

FAITH
Not diggin’ sweet

THALIA
Big crush?

FAITH
Right, you go to prison everyday and smuggle stuff in to someone who was barely your friend in the first place – and it’s just cause he makes you trickle a little? Doubtful. This isn'’ a hot thing, it’s a heart thing.

THALIA
I’m not in love

FAITH
Okay

THALIA
Don’t do the casual “I’m gonna make you think” thing

FAITH
Okay

THALIA
Stop it!

FAITH
No.

THALIA
Why are you even in?

FAITH
Maria – drink – girls night – talk, whine, drunken stooper that’ll end in man burning ritual and possible tame PG-14 girl on girl action. You want in?

THALIA
Sure! Well, not the last part so much

FAITH
Speaking of which can we verify something? Dawn she slept with Ryan in March right? Then in July you slept with Connor – but in September Dawn started making bumpy with Connor, though they haven’t engaged in the act of love yet – you’re now wanting to hip dance with Ryan…but you and Dawn, not hapenned?
(thinks)
How twisted is this? Should I expect some freaky inbred god child niece cousin creature?

THALIA
(thinks of a response)
They still haven’t slept together?

CUT TO.

INT – BOSTON COLLEGE LIBRARY – 7.20 P.M

The Library is practically empty as we move around to see a barely awake Dawn, bundled over a huge pile of books – looking at the clock in despair.

DAWN
Stupid Asia and her stupid edible neck

(O.S) GIRL
Sure blame it on the victim

DAWN
Who said that?

Dawn stands up and walks around the shelf to see a girl looking at books, she has her back to Dawn.

DAWN
Sorry, I thought I was alone

GIRL
That’s okay

The girls turns around to face Dawn. Dawn steps back startled as the girl reveals a blue tinted face, dead from the deep gash across her neck.

GIRL
It’s how I chose you to be

CUT TO.

INT – GRAVEYARD – 7.20 pm

Connor is stalking through the grave yard alone, aware yet bored and kicking his feet through the leaves.

CONNOR
I hate Boston. Wouldn’t be pitch black at this time on a Los Angeles February day

He stops with a smile as he sees a young woman being followed by a lone vampire

CONNOR
I probably shouldn’t be smiling at that

He rushes over to the vampire and pulls him over onto his back, slamming the stake directly into him before the woman even notices

WOMAN
Hey, what are you…

She screams as she’s taken down by another vampire coming at her from the left – he is lead in by a further two at the right.

CONNOR
What is this a dinner date?

Connor begins to fend them off as the woman crawls behind a tomb, watching shaken from a distance.

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – 7.20PM

Maria plops herself down next to Thalia as Faith opens a bottle of beer with her teeth and Thalia pours a glass of wine.

CUT TO.

INT – COMIC CON – 7.20PM

Dozens over Dozens of Star Trek fans cover the floor space wall to wall as Andrew and Tucker wonder in side by side.

TUCKER
Remember you’re not my brother

ANDREW
They don’t know about me

TUCKER
But they can still tell you’re a loser

ANDREW
Whatever okay

TUCKER
I’m serious, don’t smother me you’ll make me look bad like always

Andrew is evidently hurt by that comment as he wonders off to the front of cue, jumping with his VIP past

ANDREW
Hey Mr. Stewart

PATRICK
(surprised)
Andrew, you know me as Patrick by now

ANDREW
Sorry

PATRICK
You here alone?

ANDREW
No I’m with my br…
(sad)
I’m here alone

PATRICK
In the case, here

Patrick pulls him into a photo for a polaroid as Tucker looks on enviously when Patrick pulls out a marker pen and begins to sign

PATRICK
To my dear friend Andrew, keep on Trekkin’ – see you in July, Pat.

ANDREW
Thanks Mr. Stewart

PATRICK
Andrew!

ANDREW
Sorry, Patrick – have a good night

PATRICK
And yourself son

Andrew smiles awkwardly as he casually walks away and over to a gift stand – Tucker pulls him to one side by his arm

TUCKER
Don’t tell me you know Patrick Stewart – THE Patrick Stewart

ANDREW
Okay, I won’t

Tucker punches Andrew on the arm

ANDREW
Ow! What was that for?

TUCKER
You DO know him!

ANDREW
You told me not to tell you that

TUCKER
It was a rhetorical statement floss brain – how the hell do you know him?

ANDREW
From conventions – we’ve met three times a year since I was fifteen

TUCKER
No you haven’t I’d have known

ANDREW
Like you knew I was gay

TUCKER
Shh…Don’t speak so loud

ANDREW
Sorry

TUCKER
No, no it’s okay

Tucker smiles as he wraps his arm around Andrew

TUCKER
Let’s go and see your friend

ANDREW
But…

Tucker squeezes Andrew –

ANDREW
Ow!

Both are stood back at the front of the queue much to Patrick’s surprise.

PATRICK
Andrew I thought you came alone?

TUCKER
Oh you know our Andrew, always the joker – I’m his brother, Tucker – that’s a C and a K

PATRICK
Just like Patrick

TUCKER
(false laugh)
Right, just like Patrick

Tucker pulls out a camera and pulls himself in for a picture, covering Andrews face

TUCKER
Say Cling on!

(O.S) VOICE
Cling on!

The entire room stops and turns to see a very large group of vampire stood in the door way

VAMPIRE
To your lives

INT – BOSTON LIBRARY – 7.26 PM

Dawn is not sat at the table with the young woman.

DAWN
You’re not gonna eat my brains?

GIRL
No, I just ate
(off scared look)
Kidding – I’m a ghost

DAWN
You’re leaning on the table

GIRL
A manifestation then, whichever – I’m dead but here and not a zombie

DAWN
So why me? Why did you choose me to be here?

GIRL
You’re special

DAWN
Is this a key thing because I told those girls that…

GIRL
I don’t want your keys – I want you, you’re special

DAWN
Oh
(thinks she’s realised)
Oh – well I don’t really do that, dead people is more my sisters gig, the blonde one and girls – not really my…

GIRL
Not special like that! You slept with one guy – I don’t need your sexual tips

DAWN
How do you know that?

GIRL
I’m a ghost – hell, heaven, limbo or the mall – wherever I was, there’s like a huge back catalogue on every living thing, yours was surprisingly thick for someone who’s only been on the planet since 2000. Six years and your file balance my Father’s – he’s a forty nine-year-old drunken-adulterating-fraud who used to be a singer.
(smiles)
Gotta be proud of that achievement Dawn

DAWN
Okay creep factor is high, so what is this about?

GIRL
I need you to do something for me

DAWN
Solve your murder?

GIRL
Yeah

DAWN
Oh.

CUT TO.

INT – COMIC CON – 7.26 PM

ANDREW
Okay um…

PATRICK
What the hell is that?

TUCKER
You don’t know? Isn’t this part of the big performance?

PATRICK
Not one I’ve rehearsed

ANDREW
They’re vampires

TUCKER
Shut up loser, vampires aren’t real

ANDREW
Did you walk around with your eyes taped up? You raised hell hounds for the prom!

TUCKER
Oh god we’re gonna die

ANDREW
No we’re not

VAMPIRE
Yes you are

ANDREW
No!

Andrew calls out to two children who, in panic, attempt to run though the vampires – both being caught up and killed instantly.

VAMPIRE
Any more offers or do we take our pick?

ANDREW
Okay, um, everyone stay calm

TUCKER
Forget calm I’m out of here

ANDREW
No

TUCKER
Don’t tell me what to do!

ANDREW
You’re not leaving

TUCKER
Shut up loser

PATRICK
I think perhaps you should listen to your brother

TUCKER
What do you know baldie?

ANDREW
Tucker you’re not going

TUCKER
Andrew – you’re a loser, you always have been and always will be – get over it and stop trying to be the hero

Andrew looks hard at his brother before punching him on the end of the nose

VAMPIRE
Nice move

ANDREW
Thanks
(Ow!)
Shut up!

ANDREW
(to Tucker)
I’m not a loser, I had someone who loved me more than anything and I don’t need you or Mom or Dad or anyone else to tell me different because I know that it’s true and I have a family here and…I’m Andrew Clarence Wells – I’m NOT Tuckers Brother.

VAMPIRE
Who’s Tucker?

ANDREW
He’s My Brother!

Patrick smiles at Andrew and begins clapping proudly as several con members join in with him.

VAMPIRE
Are we done yet?

ANDREW
Oh, yeah, um everybody charge at them real hard

TUCKER
You’re feeding us to them?

ANDREW
Oh I forgot, you didn’t graduate Sunnydale so you don’t know how this works – follow me.

Andrew steps, shaking, he nears the vampire but keeps at a safe distance

ANDREW
Listen up Mr. I’m Andrew Wells and nobody’s gonna bully me into…

Andrew is punched out cold as the vampires cheer and roar rushing into the crowd.

CUT TO.

INT – BOSTON LIBRARY – 7.34PM

Dawn is stood in front of the girl, awaiting the girls instructions.

GIRL
Okay, I was walking through the graveyard last night

DAWN
Last night?

GIRL
Why do you think I’m not on the news yet?

DAWN
You want me to figure out a murder case the police haven’t touched yet?

GIRL
They’re not gonna touch it – believe me I know
(focused)
I was walking through the grave yard when I met a woman.

MIX TO.

Connor fighting off the vampires as the woman continues to watch

(V.O) GIRL
She looked lost, like she needed help

Connor stakes one final vampire and stops to catch his breath

(V.O) GIRL
She had this most amazing smile, bright red lips and pearly whites
Connor helps the woman to her feet and smiles, bright white teeth, blood red lips.

He smiles back, drawn into her looks.

(V.O) There was something about her though, something…

The woman remains standing, slowly pulling a knife from her pocket.

CUT TO.

INT – COMIC CON – 8PM

ANDREW
Did anyone else get hurt?

TUCKER
They’ve left

ANDREW
Left?

TUCKER
They just ran away

ANDREW
You’re kidding

TUCKER
Yeah – they’re in the backroom I locked them in there

ANDREW
Where’s everyone else?

TUCKER
They’re…
(oops)
In the back room

ANDREW
Did I get all the brains?

TUCKER
Doubtful!

ANDREW
Come on!

INT – AIR VENT – COMIC CON

TUCKER
(whispered)
Where are we going?

ANDREW
To help them duh!

TUCKER
How are we gonna help?

ANDREW
You’re not, I am

TUCKER
You really to this all the time?

ANDREW
Not all the time

TUCKER
Oh

ANDREW
Bi-daily

TUCKER
Oh!

ANDREW
Shh…look

Andrew looks down through a gap as the vampires move in on the people

TUCKER
You want me to do it now?

ANDREW
Yes

TUCKER
Won’t it hurt

ANDREW
Not if you do it right!

Tucker pulls out a pin and stabs Andrews finger full pressure

ANDREW
Ow! Idiot…

TUCKER
Sorry

VAMPIRE
(looking up)
Blood, I can smell it, sweet warm and fresh up there

Andrew and Tucker continue scrapping at the air vent collapses underneath them, flinging them both to the floor, right at the vampires feet.

VAMPIRE
You again!

ANDREW
Hey

Andrew looks around him and sees a large cardboard cut out of Angel (see ‘Angel:Revamped, 5x14, angelolatry)

ANDREW
First his own website, now a con…
(thinks)
I wonder if he appears at them

TUCKER
Andrew!

ANDREW
Right!

Andrew looks over to the foot of the cut out and spots a large plastic bag full of novelty crosses.

He smiles as he begins to crawl across the floor like an excited infant

VAMPIRE
Where’s he going?

ANDREW
Get your free crosses!

Andrew holds the bag open like a salesmen with the newspaper

ANDREW
Get your crosses here, all the latest…um, wood
(pause)
Thanks Angel
(pause)
Okay, um, you can charge now!

Everyone immediately begins to run at the vampires on a ratio of two to one – they hold their crosses firmly and charge through, slamming the doors behind them.

TUCKER
What about the vent?

ANDREW
We broke it doofus!
(pause)
I need to make a call

END OF PART THREE

There’s like twenty people and dozen vampires locked in that room

THALIA/FAITH
On it!

Both girls run off into the hall as Dawn sits down next to Andrew

ANDREW
You wouldn’t believe the night I’ve had

DAWN
Try me

ANDREW
It can wait

DAWN
Tucker gone?

ANDREW
My Brother’s gone, Tucker’s inside

DAWN
(confused look)
Epiphany?

ANDREW
Little bit – where’s Connor?

CUT TO.

The woman stands very close to Connor, her eyes locked with his

WOMAN
Thank you

(V.O) GIRL
There’s something about her…she’s like, alluring

CONNOR
Don’t mention it – names Connor

(V.O) She was like venom, she was poison

WOMAN
Ivy!

Both look at each other intensely before wrapping themselves around eachother and collapsing to the ground, kissing passionately as Ivy tears at Connor’s shirt – his eyes wide in surprise.
