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
