EXT. HOGWARTS - AFTERNOON
Down to earth scout MRS. JANE SMITH is arguing with considerate navigator MRS. ELLEN KRIEGER. JANE tries to hug ELLEN but she shakes her off.
JANE
Please Ellen, don't leave me.
ELLEN
I'm sorry Jane, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces her fears head on, instead of running away.
JANE
I am such a person!
ELLEN frowns.
ELLEN
I'm sorry, Jane. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore.
ELLEN leaves.
JANE sits down, looking defeated.
Moments later, hopeful fishmonger MR. JOHN SMITH barges in looking flustered.
JANE
Goodness, John! Is everything okay?
JOHN
I'm afraid not.
JANE
What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...
JOHN
It's ... a vampire ... I saw an evil vampire fire a bunch of children!
JANE
Defenseless children?
JOHN
Yes, defenseless children!
JANE
Bloomin' heck, John! We've got to do something.
JOHN
I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.
JANE
You can start by telling me where this happened.
JOHN
I was...
JOHN fans himself and begins to wheeze.
JANE
Focus John, focus! Where did it happen?
JOHN
Washington D.C.! That's right - Washington D.C.!
JANE springs up and begins to run.
EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS
JANE rushes along the street, followed by JOHN. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.
EXT. WASHINGTON D.C. - SHORTLY AFTER
KANE WHITE a brutal vampire terrorises two children.
JANE, closely followed by JOHN, rushes towards KANE, but suddenly stops in her tracks.
JOHN
What is is? What's the matter?
JANE
That's not just any old vampire, that's Kane White!
JOHN
Who's Kane White?
JANE
Who's Kane White? Who's Kane White? Only the most brutal vampire in the universe!
JOHN
Blinkin' knickers, Jane! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most brutal vampire in the universe!
JANE
You can say that again.
JOHN
Blinkin' knickers, Jane! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most brutal vampire in the universe!
JANE
I'm going to need knives, lots of knives.
Kane turns and sees Jane and John. He grins an evil grin.
KANE
Jane Smith, we meet again.
JOHN
You've met?
JANE
Yes. It was a long, long time ago...
EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME
A young JANE is sitting in a park listening to some indie music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over her.
She looks up and sees KANE. She takes off her headphones.
KANE
Would you like some peppermints?
JANE's eyes light up, but then he studies KANE more closely, and looks uneasy.
JANE
I don't know, you look kind of brutal.
KANE
Me? No. I'm not brutal. I'm the least brutal vampire in the world.
JANE
Wait, you're a vampire?
JANE runs away, screaming.
EXT. WASHINGTON D.C. - PRESENT DAY
KANE
You were a coward then, and you are a coward now.
JOHN
(To JANE) You ran away?
JANE
(To JOHN) I was a young child. What was I supposed to do?
JANE turns to KANE.
JANE
I may have run away from you then, but I won't run away this time!
JANE runs away.
She turns back and shouts.
JANE
I mean, I am running away, but I'll be back - with knives.
KANE
I'm not scared of you.
JANE
You should be.
EXT. WESTEROS - LATER THAT DAY
JANE and JOHN walk around searching for something.
JANE
I feel sure I left my knives somewhere around here.
JOHN
Are you sure? It does seem like an odd place to keep deadly knives.
JANE
You know nothing John Smith.
JOHN
We've been searching for ages. I really don't think they're here.
Suddenly, KANE appears, holding a pair of knives.
KANE
Looking for something?
JOHN
Crikey, Jane, he's got your knives.
JANE
Tell me something I don't already know!
JOHN
The earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,075 km.
JANE
I know that already!
JOHN
I bite my toenails.
KANE
(appalled) Dude!
While KANE is looking at JOHN with disgust, JANE lunges forward and grabs her deadly knives. He wields them, triumphantly.
JANE
Prepare to die, you brutal cauliflower!
KANE
No please! All I did was fire a bunch of children!
ELLEN enters, unseen by any of the others.
JANE
I cannot tolerate that kind of behaviour! Those children were defenceless! Well now they have a defender - and that's me! Jane Smith defender of innocent children.
KANE
Don't hurt me! Please!
JANE
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't use these knives on you right away!
KANE
Because Jane, I am your father.
JANE looks stunned for a few moments, but then collects herself.
JANE
No you're not!
KANE
Ah well, it had to be worth a try.
KANE tries to grab the knives but JANE dodges out of the way.
JANE
Who's the daddy now? Huh? Huh?
Unexpectedly, KANE slumps to the ground.
JOHN
Did he just faint?
JANE
I think so. Well that's disappointing. I was rather hoping for a more dramatic conclusion, involving my deadly knives.
JANE crouches over KANE's body.
JOHN
Be careful, Jane. It could be a trick.
JANE
No, it's not a trick. It appears that... It would seem... Kane White is dead!
JANE
What?
JANE
Yes, it appears that I scared him to death.
JOHN claps his hands.
JOHN
So your knives did save the day, after all.
ELLEN steps forward.
ELLEN
Is it true? Did you kill the brutal vampire?
JANE
Ellen how long have you been...?
ELLEN puts her arm around JANE.
ELLEN
Long enough.
JANE
Then you saw it for yourself. I killed Kane White.
ELLEN
Then the children are safe?
JANE
It does seem that way!
A crowd of vulnerable children enter, looking relived.
ELLEN
You are their hero.
The children bow to JANE.
JANE
There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that Kane White will never fire children ever again, is enough for me.
ELLEN
You are humble as well as brave!
One of the children passes JANE a wooden talisman
ELLEN
I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude.
JANE
I couldn't possibly.
Pause.
JANE
Well, if you insist.
JANE takes the talisman.
JANE
Thank you.
The children bow their heads once more, and leave.
JANE turns to ELLEN.
JANE
Does this mean you want me back?
ELLEN
Oh, Jane, of course I want you back!
JANE smiles for a few seconds, but then looks defiant.
JANE
Well you can't have me.
ELLEN
WHAT?
JANE
You had no faith in me. You had to see my scare a vampire to death before you would believe in me. I don't want a lover like that.
ELLEN
But...
JANE
Please leave. I want to spend time with the one person who stayed with me through thick and thin - my best friend, John.
JOHN grins.
ELLEN
But...
JOHN
You heard the lady. Now be off with you. Skidaddle! Shoo!
ELLEN
Jane?
JANE
I'm sorry Ellen, but I think you should skidaddle.
ELLEN leaves.
JOHN turns to JANE.
JOHN
Did you mean that? You know ... that I'm your best friend?
JANE
Of course you are!
The two walk off arm in arm.
Suddenly JOHN stops.
JOHN
When I said I bite my toenails, you know I was just trying to distract the vampire don't you?
THE END
Even as we grieved, we grew; even as we hurt, we hoped; even as we tired, we tried
