PANEL:
JACK and JILL are face-to-face. JACK
is annoyed and has his hands out in front of himself to express that.
JILL is gripping her hair in her hands, shouting at JACK's feet.
JILL
No, you're dumb!
JACK
I didn't even say that,
Jill! All I said was that the box is dangerous!
PANEL:
JILL now has her hair in both her
fists, an upturned snout showing her shouting at the ceiling. JACK
has his hands raised to further express his point.
JILL
NO, YOU'RE DUMB!
JACK
Why don't you get it yet?!
We aren't even 10 and we've almost died twice already! Both
times with that thing!
JILL
It's adventure!
JACK
It's death!
JILL
It's magicaaaaaallllll!
PANEL:
JACK stands in front of the box, its
flaps open at the top. JACK presents it with both hands pointing at
it. JILL leans forward with a sinister grin.
JACK
What will it take for you
to want this thing destroyed?
JILL
How about a bet?
JACK
Like?
JILL
My allowance versus your
allowance.
PANEL:
JILL has her arms splayed in front of
her, as if she's presenting a vast idea. JACK just watches her with
no real emotion to her bad ideas.
JACK
You're betting me a dollar
and our lives.
JILL
Last trip! If you hate
this next adventure, we destroy the box. That's it. No more. But
if you love it...
JACK
I've hated everything
about this week, Jill. I've cried just... so many times...
PAGE 2
PANEL:
As JACK stands in front of the box,
JILL presents her pink purse with pride. JACK shows some annoyance.
JILL
I've already packed my
satchel!
JACK
With what?!
PANEL:
JILL holds the purse up to her face
with one hand and pulls a bottle of “Anti-Aging” skin care
product with the other.
JILL
The last adventure dried
out my skin. I'm bringing sun tan lotion.
JACK
[OFF-PANEL]
That's dumb. We need
something useful for once.
PANEL:
JILL shows off a NERF gun while still
holding the purse.
JILL
I'm bringing the gun
again, too.
PANEL:
JILL tackles JACK as they fall into the
top opening of the box.
JACK
What do you mean “again”?
I never agreed to--
Wuh!
JILL
Oops.
PANEL:
A black panel showing nothing.
JILL
Jack.
JACK
*Sigh *
What.
PANEL:
Another black panel showing nothing.
JILL
Told you you're dumb.
PAGE 3
PANEL:
JILL pops open a couple of
paper flaps and pokes her head out of the opening. Her hair blows in
the wind. Her eyes are wide.
JACK
So?
Did it work?
PANEL:
JILL sits back in the box.
A sliver of light illuminates their faces a bit. JACK asks questions
nonchalantly while JILL holds her face in her hands.
JACK
What? Was is it? Did it
not work?
JILL
Jack I am... so... so
sorry.
PANEL:
JACK pokes his head out of
the top of the box, now made of paper and sticks and sees they rest
in the driver's seat of a Da Vinci flying machine. Granted, this is
a thing that glides. Meaning it won't actually fly so much as it
will rise and then crash after a bit. JACK has wide eyes and is
screaming while looking at the heavily-forested area about 100 ft
below them.
JACK
OH MY GAAAAWWWWWD!
PANEL:
JACK is frantically pulling
at some strings like someone pulling the reigns on a horse. JILL is
shutting her eyes while choking JACK from behind tightly. Tears flow
from both their eyes and are caught in the wind.
JILL
You're wrong, Jack! There
is no God! We're gonna diiiiiiiiie!
PANEL:
The flying machine starts
abruptly gliding towards a large rose window of a very big castle.
JILL
Why do these stories
always have to start like this?!
JACK
Jill, you owe me that
dollar so hard!
PANEL:
The flying machine shatters
on the ground of the throne room, sending pieces of wood, paper, and
glass everywhere as royal guards run away. JACK and JILL are thrown
from the wreckage lightly, but parts of the debris cover the lower
half of JACK. THE KING and QUEEN are taken slightly aback by the
commotion as they sit on their thrones.
PANEL:
JACK and JILL slide toward
where THE KING and QUEEN sit.
KING
[OFF-PANEL]
Oh. Good.
PAGE 4
PANEL:
THE KING has one eye closed,
trying to block out the sunlight created from the opening in the rose
window. THE QUEEN is just sort of glaring at him.
THE KING
Now we have to stare at
sunlight that isn't multi-colored.
PANEL:
JILL stands up, raising her
hands defensively.
JILL
We'll fix it! I promise!
We'll earn money mowing the lawn until it's good as new!
PANEL:
THE KING fixes a stare at
THE KIDS, THE QUEEN looks at them curiously.
KING
“Mow”?
What's “mow”? We
don't know what that is. We don't even have television in this era
yet.
PANEL:
JACK stands up, dusting off
his shirt, which looks peasant-like, while talking down to JILL, also
wearing the latest in peasant-wear. JILL is staring up at JACK with
huge eyes, choking back tears, her cheeks puffed up from holding back
laughter. JACK is about twice the height JILL is now for some
reason...
THE KING
[OFF-PANEL]
Much rather see you guys
executed for your insolence or something...
JACK
Kinda knew that's where
this was headed.
Hey why am I so much...
PANEL
JACK looks behind him and
notices he's got a horse's backside now. He's the centaur he always
never wanted to be. He has wide, astonished eyes. JILL is slapping
her knee and cracking up with loud, boisterous laughter. THE KING
has his fingers in his ears and an annoyed look. THE QUEEN just has
the look.
JACK
...taller?
JILL
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!
PANEL:
THE KING still has an
annoyed look and fingers in his ears. THE QUEEN looks at him with a
worried smile.
JACK
[OFF-PANEL]
Stop laughing! Don't look
at me!
JILL
[OFF-PANEL]
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA,ETC!
THE KING
'So annoying. Let's get
the killing going, you guys. Chop-chop.
THE QUEEN
Come on, my love. They
may be of use to us.
PAGE 5
PANEL:
THE KING points at THE KIDS
as he speaks to THE QUEEN. JILL is wiping tears from her eyes and
JACK just looks down at his feet (I mean hooves), sullen.
THE KING
But Latifah, how can a
toddler and a horse-boy--
JACK
Horse-man.
THE KING
--this man-child be
of any use?
THE QUEEN
They can be fodder against
the Dark Wizard? And who knows? Maybe they'll get lucky and save
our Princess.
PANEL:
THE KIDS look at each other
with great worry as THE KING slopes his head on one arm and twirls a
finger in the air with his other.
THE KING
Ugh. Fine. Look, the
Dark Wizard stole our Princess from us, and all attempts to save her
have been useless. I mean, nobody comes back. Because
they're dead. They die. The Dark Wizard kills them. It's what we
call murder. Aaaaanyway if you rescue our Princess from the
Dark Wizard we can let you live.
PANEL
JACK raises an eyebrow at THE KING.
JACK raises an eyebrow at THE KING.
JACK
Soooo death or die trying
to rescue your princess?
THE KING
Correct. Here are your
options:
PANEL:
THE KING shrugs with wide
eyes and motions both hands at THE EXECUTIONER, who waves.
PANEL:
With the same expression,
THE KING motions both hands toward the large double doors leading out
into the hallway of the castle. The doors are held open by a couple
of guards.
PANEL:
JILL tugs on JACK's shirt as
they speak to one another.
JILL
Can we choose another
adventure?
JACK
What can we do, Jill?
It's not like we can fly out of here.
JILL
No but we can...
PAGE 6
PANEL:
JACK gallops away from the
castle gates and towards the viewer, both his arms down at his sides
since he doesn't need them to run. JILL rides on his back while
holding onto his shoulders. Her laughter fills the air of the panel.
JACK expresses a rotten look.
JILL
GALLOP!
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
JACK
This is stupid. I don't
even know what to do with my arms.
PANEL:
An unfurling scroll reads
“One Hour Later” in the corner as JACK speeds past down a forest
path. He has no real expression, though JILL is laying stomach-down
on his back, eyes closed.
JILL
Are we there yet?
JACK
Nah. But I still haven't
needed a nap yet. I am just gaining a stupid amount of move-mentum
on four legs. I now know that horses are made of nothing but pure
muscle and energy.
PANEL:
JILL picks herself up on
JACK's back, looking up at the mountain ahead of them in the
distance. From the top, a billow of smoke rises, giving the sky
around it a red glow.
JILL
Are you still running for
the mountain or did you find something more evil?
JACK
Nope, still the mountain.
That's the most evil thing I've ever seen. If there's an evil wizard
somewhere it's definitely that place.
PANEL:
JACK looks around himself
with wonder as he runs. JILL lays back down.
JACK
I'm starting to see why
you like this Fantasy stuff. Everything is just so... magical.
Gotta say, the lack of dragons is really bumming me out, though.
PANEL:
JACK still focuses on what's
in front of him. JILL turns around and looks behind them.
JILL
Hey, Jack?
JACK
Yes, Jill?
PANEL:
JACK looks behind him with
panic to see what JILL points at: a huge HORDE OF GOBLINS running
with various melee weapons, intent on catching THE KIDS that're about
20ft from them.
JILL
How long have these guys
been following us?
PAGE 7
PANEL:
JACK runs forward
ferociously, covering his head with his hands while JILL starts
digging into her purse. Spears and arrows are lobbied near their
heads.
JILL
Quick, Jack! Make a force
field or something!
JACK
I don't know if I can
under all this stress! I mean—my body has changed so much! Will I
still fit in it!?
JILL
Does it--
PANEL:
JILL pulls out a crossbow
with a bullet belt supplying an infinite amount of arrows from her
purse. She looks at it with wide eyes and astonishment.
JILL
matter?
JACK
It does if my butt gets
shot, Jill!
PANEL:
JILL takes aim with
ferocious glee.
JILL
Prepare to eat lead!
PANEL:
JILL takes one, and only one
shot with the crossbow, since they're not an automatic weapon. The
arrow shoots one GOBLIN in the face, dropping him. JILL wears a
disheartened grin.
JILL
YAAaaaaa...
PANEL:
JACK continues running as
JILL sits on his back, frantically trying to reset her crossbow.
JACK
Why did you stop?!
JILL
I have to keep pulling the
string back! Just hold on!
PANEL:
GOBLINS are gathering fifty
feet from THE KIDS, weapons at the ready.
JACK
Jill! In front!
PANEL:
JILL hugs JACK tight around
his neck, her eyes shut tight and tears in her eyes. JACK grits his
teeth with a look of ferociousness and spreads his arms out at his
sides. A bit of a pink glow starts to surround the area in front of
them.
JILL
I admit it! I thought
those midget movies were boring!
PAGE 8
PANEL:
Now enclosed in JACK's force
field, THE KIDS ramp up the front of one GOBLIN and bounce across the
heads of SEVERAL OTHERS, JILL says one syllable per head they cave-in
with the enormous weight of the force field ball.
JILL
I
HATE
FAN
TA
SY!
PANEL:
The force field skids to a
stop in front of a cliff at the base of the evil-looking mountain.
JACK still has his hands out to his sides, JILL still holds on close.
The ball has turned around to face THE GOBLIN HORDE.
JACK
You're doing great, Jill!
Just hang on and we can smash into these goblins all day! Run them
over!
PANEL:
THE GOBLINS look up past
where THE KIDS would be with mouths agape and wide eyes.
PANEL:
THE GOBLINS run back to
where they came from as JACK watches them retreat. JILL looks up
behind them with a very worried look.
JACK
Ha! They're running away!
PANEL:
JILL looks high up towards
the viewer, while JACK still looks at the retreating GOBLINS.
JILL
Jack, do you remember that
Billy Goats Rough story?
JACK
Yeah, why?
PANEL:
THREE TROLLS stand high
above THE KIDS, emerging from the cliff.
JILL
How did it end again?
JACK
TROLLS!
TROLLS!
PAGE 9
PANEL:
A TROLL HAND picks up THE
KIDS in their pink force field.
JILL
Keep doing your Cheater
Shield, Jack!
JACK
I'm not going to argue
this right now!
PANEL:
A TROLL tries biting into
the force field and chipping a tooth.
PANEL:
With a roar, THE TROLL rears
back his arm with THE KIDS in his hand.
PANEL:
THE TROLL throws the ball
high up to the top of the mountain. THE KIDS yell with a receding
scream as they near the summit. THE THREE TROLLS look at the wild
throw.
THE KIDS
AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa
PANEL:
THE OTHER TWO TROLLS looks
at THE TROLL THAT THREW THE KIDS with a bit of disgust.
TROLL #1
Geez, Trevor...
Anger issues much?
TREVOR
I'm seeking help.
PANEL:
THE KIDS come back into view
as they pop out of the bubble upon landing through an open window and
onto a castle floor.
THE KIDS
aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAOOF!
PANEL:
JACK and JILL lie on the
cold castle floor, a bit bruised.
JILL
If that's anything like
that slingshot ride, let's agree to never ride it when we're tall
enough.
PAGE 10
PANEL:
JACK gets up and rubs his
head, JILL holds her shirt over her nose with eyes closed. A soft
smoke washes over them.
JILL
Ew, is somebody smoking?!
PANEL:
JACK looks up with widened,
glistening eyes of wonder.
JACK
Oh my God...
PANEL:
JACK and JILL are
face-to-face with a large DRAGON, which has bent down to get a better
look at them. THE DRAGON releases a bit of smoke from her nostrils.
JACK raises both arms in amazement.
JACK
IT'S A DRAGON!
PANEL:
JACK looks up with a wide
smile. JILL looks up at him with tired, angry eyes and a frown.
PANEL:
JACK still looks up, but
without a smile. JILL is still looking up at him with the same
expression, now with both arms raised at THE DRAGON as if to present
it.
JACK
Oh dang it's a dragon.
PANEL:
THE KIDS are cornered
against the wall with THE DRAGON in front of them, getting its face
ever closer.
JILL
Jack! Do your force
field!
JACK
I don't think I can do a
force field and pee at the same time...
PAGE 11
PANEL:
THE KIDS are licked by THE
DRAGON, much to the chagrin of JACK and the surprise of JILL.
JILL
Wha--?
PANEL:
JILL scratches the underside
of THE DRAGON's chin while it closes its eyes and purrs. JILL looks
under THE DRAGON's chin and at the collar around her neck. JACK
wipes the slobber from his face.
JILL
Hey, it has a collar!
PANEL:
JACK holds the collar in his
hand and squints as he reads. JILL closes her eyes and makes kissy
faces at THE DRAGON as she continues scratching her chin.
JILL
What's it say?
JACK
Prrriiiiinceeeeeeess.
Princess.
JILL
Did it really have all
those letters?
JACK
No, I'm just bad with my
vocabulary words.
PANEL:
JACK turns around with
surprise at JILL, and points at THE DRAGON.
JACK
Wait a second, this is
Princess! This is what the King and Queen wanted us to find!
PANEL:
JILL looks up at PRINCESS
with a blank look while JACK side-eyes her with a glare.
JILL
I really hope Princess
can't hear anything.
JACK
Why?
JILL
Because I really, really
want to talk about how ugly the King and Queen's kid is.
JACK
It's a pet, dingus!
PAGE 12
PANEL:
In the foreground, THE DARK
WIZARD sits loungingly on a pile of books, stacked to act as a chair.
THE DARK WIZARD props his feet on another pile of books and sips a
green, bubbling mixture from a science flask. THE KIDS and PRINCESS
turn their attention towards the man they failed to notice before.
DARK WIZARD
I see that you've met my
latest failure.
JACK
Who are you?
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD stands up to
boastingly introduce himself.
DARK WIZARD
I am the self-appointed
Dark Wizard of this world. Doing Dark Wizard stuff, though I'm kind
of taking a break from such things right now...
JACK
Not that that's a bad
thing, but why?
PANEL:
A scene washes over the page
to show some background to the story THE DARK WIZARD tells. It shows
THE DARK WIZARD riding PRINCESS out of the castle gates, looking back
to shoot a blast from his magic wand. PRINCESS dumbly goes chasing
for a butterfly in front of her.
VO BOX
I used my magic to break
into the King's castle, en-trance his guards, and steal his most
valuable pet! Do you know how much energy that took? My
magical knees can't take the stress of all that running around!
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD throws a
tired arm in PRINCESS' direction, who's chewing on her leg like a
dog. JILL angrily points a finger at THE DARK WIZARD.
DARK WIZARD
I mean I wanted to use
this majestic creature to rule the skies! To rain ember from the
clouds! But look at this thing, this isn't majestic... this is the
dumbest dragon I've ever seen!
JILL
You're dumb!
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD gets close
to JILL with a frustrated look as she continues to yell at him.
DARK WIZARD
What? No, you're
dumb!
JILL
You're dumb!
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD points a
finger at JILL while she still brandishes an angry look. JACK speaks
from the sidelines.
DARK WIZARD
You're dumb!
JACK
Just save your energy,
man. Trust me.
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD throws up
his arms.
DARK WIZARD
Why am I arguing with some
brat and her horse-boy for anyway?! I clearly don't want visitors, I
live on top of a volcano for Baphomet's sake! You must be
eliminated!
PAGE 13
PANEL:
JACK smiles and points a
thumb behind him at PRINCESS.
JACK
Great! We'll eliminate
ourselves from your volcano, and we'll take the stupid dragon with
us!
PANEL:
With squinted eyes, THE DARK
WIZARD pulls his wand from his sleeve and raises it high above him.
DARK WIZARD
You need to work on your
vocabulary words, kid.
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD shoots a
bolt of lightening at THE KIDS, who scamper away with JILL on JACK's
back.
JACK
Do something, Jill!
JILL
Why me?!
PANEL:
THE KIDS continue running
from a storm of icicles shot from THE DARK WIZARD's wand.
JACK
I don't know, I'm a horse!
There's not a lot I can do!
JILL
Well what about me?! My
arrow-gun-thing sucks!
PANEL:
THE KIDS continue running
around while THE DARK WIZARD fires flame right behind them.
JACK
Make him angry! He's old,
maybe he'll get so frustrated he'll have a heart attack!
DARK WIZARD
I can hear you! I'm not
old, I'm only 137!
PANEL:
Fire continues to pour from
THE DARK WIZARD's wand as it chases THE KIDS around. JILL shouts
back with both hands around her mouth to amplify her voice.
DARK WIZARD
I'm in my dating prime!
JILL
You're in your balding
prime!
PANEL:
Rocks fire from THE DARK
WIZARD's wand as JILL continues shouting at him.
DARK WIZARD
Shut up!
JILL
You're so old I bet you
have all your joints made of plastic!
PAGE 14
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD fires a
thorny vine from his wand.
DARK WIZARD
My joints are fine! Knees
get weak after a while! It's natural!
JILL
You're so old you get mad
about stuff like taxes!
PANEL:
A rush of water flows forth
from THE DARK WIZARD's wand, magical piranhas chomp around in the
wave.
DARK WIZARD
I'm only mad because they
pay for your dang skate parks!
JILL
You have so many wrinkles,
you're starting to look like the prunes you have to eat to take a--
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD shoots a
magical bolt in anger.
DARK WIZARD
ENOOOOUGH!
PANEL:
JILL gets hit with the magic
bolt, seizing in agony while a magical aura surrounds her. JACK
spins around in surprise.
JACK
Jill! No!
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD stands
triumphantly in the background, hands on his hips, laughing. JILL is
on her knees, hiding her face in her hands. JACK stoops down with an
outstretched, wary hand, about to touch JILL's shoulder.
DARK WIZARD
You think you brats are so
clever because you're young? Try being clever...
PANEL:
JILL looks up with wrinkles
on her face, her jowls sagging.
DARK WIZARD
[OFF-PANEL]
When you're being aged
to death!
PAGE
15
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD laughs in
the background again as JACK holds JILL's hands in his.
JACK
Oh my God! Jill!
JILL
Help me, Jack...
I can feel myself getting
older... I'm hating popular music.
PANEL:
JACK points an angry finger
at THE DARK WIZARD.
JACK
You monster!
DARK WIZARD
I'm a Dark Wizard,
kid! It's what I do!
PANEL:
JACK stands tall with a
devoted look on his face. JILL is still on her knees in the
background, raising a hand toward him.
JACK
Just hold on, Jill. I
promise I'll get you out of this.
JILL
Hurry... I'm having angry
thoughts about the youth of today.
PANEL:
JACK makes a powerful
stance, his fists at his sides.
DARK WIZARD
[OFF-PANEL]
What're you gonna do,
stable boy?
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD speaks to
JACK from across the large room.
DARK WIZARD
Count to three on your
hooves?
JACK
Sure, let's try it:
PAGE 16
PANEL:
JACK puts his hands straight
out to his sides.
JACK
One...
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD raises his
wand once more.
JACK
[OFF-PANEL]
Two...
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD and JACK
rush at each other from across the room. THE DARK WIZARD's wand
glows at the tip with sparks. JACK has the force field begin to grow
around him.
JACK
THREE!
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD throws out a
spell from his wand. It glows green and looks like poisonous gas.
DARK WIZARD
Eat it, punk!
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD's spell
bounces off the force field. Behind the field, JACK smiles.
DARK WIZARD
[OFF-PANEL]
What?!
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD makes an
angry face.
DARK WIZARD
You cheater!
PANEL:
The spell hits a spot in the
castle wall in front of PRINCESS, making her yelp as the bricks
crumble away, revealing a stream of lava that slowly protrudes from
the damage.
PAGE 17
PANEL:
JILL looks in a mirror she's
found against the wall, smoothing her hands across her rapidly-aging
face. She looks about 100 now. In the background, THE DARK WIZARD
is bouncing more and more spells against JACK's force field. JACK is
still rushing towards THE DARK WIZARD as he constantly moves out of
the way.
JILL
Hurry, Jack...
I'm starting to look like
Mom...
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD pushes
himself back while still pounding his wand against the air, shooting
out spells of many colors.
THE DARK WIZARD
This is no fair!
PANEL:
JACK runs his force field
ball into THE DARK WIZARD, sending him in the air.
THE DARK WIZARD
I'm supposed to be the
most powerful!
PANEL:
THE DARK WIZARD lands in the
lava, which sets him on fire.
DARK WIZARD
That's my whole
character claaaaaaass!
PANEL:
JACK gallops over to JILL,
who's knitting a sweater on the ground.
JACK
Jill! You're still old!
I thought defeating the Dark Wizard would save you, but I—I--
JILL
Oh, dearie. Don't you
fret. I'm knitting you a scarf as we speak!
PANEL:
JACK collapses on the
ground, defeated. JILL looks over to her right and pulls her
knitting away from the creeping lava.
JACK
Oh, Jill. I don't know
what to do. I can't bring you home like this.
JILL
This heat is really
drying-out my skin. Can you fetch me some lotion, sonny?
PANEL:
JACK sits up with a stroke
of brilliance on his face.
JACK
Wait a second. I got it!
JILL
[OFF-PANEL]
Wouldn't want the shingles
again...
PAGE 18
PANEL:
JACK grabs the anti-aging
sun tan lotion out of JILL's purse and raises it high towards the
viewer. The bottle is now a vial that says “Anti-Aging Spirits”.
PANEL:
JACK douses an upset OLD
JILL with the elixir.
JILL
Hooligan! What are you--
JACK
Just shut up, Jill. I got
this.
PANEL:
OLD JILL is soaked and
rubbing her eyes.
JILL
You ruffian! You
scoundrel! You--
PANEL:
JILL is still rubbing her
eyes, but she's young again.
JILL
Poop-head!
PANEL:
JILL is lifting up the back
of her shirt and rubbing her back as JACK lifts her up and puts her
on PRINCESS' back. JACK looks out of frame on the ground around him.
JILL
What? What happened? Why
am I having problems in my joints? Why do I smell like mint?
JACK
We'll talk about it later,
Jill. Right now we have to get out of here.
JILL
Why?
JACK
Because--
PANEL:
The room fills more and more
with lava. PRINCESS picks up a claw as lava comes nearer. She has a
look of surprise on her face. JACK shouts next to her and JILL has a
look of worry on her face.
JACK
The floor is lava!
PANEL:
PRINCESS grabs JACK's back.
As she begins fluttering her wings.
JACK
Hurry, Princess! Get us
out of here!
PAGE 19
PANEL:
PRINCESS zooms out of the
volcano-top castle through the roof in magnificent spectacle towards
the viewer. JACK has his hands out with wide eyes and a look of
glee. JILL is wearing a frown with her arms crossed.
JILL
Ugh.
PANEL:
Another angle with JACK held
tight in PRINCESS' grasp while JILL rides on her back.
JACK
THIS IS
INCREDIBLLLLLLE!
JILL
(This is so lame.)
PANEL:
Looking above the dragon at
an angle, near JILL as she counts on her fingers.
JACK
We're flying! And not
crashing for once!
JILL
Get a cool gun, couldn't
use it.
The traveling takes
forever.
I find out I'm going to
look like Great Aunt Prudence when I'm 30.
PAGE 20
PANEL:
PRINCESS soars downward
toward the home castle.
JACK
It's there, Jill! The
castle!
JILL
Yip.
Ee.
PANEL:
The large front gates on the
castle open as the kids soar into a white light.
JACK
YEEEEEEEEAH!
PANEL:
THE KIDS spin on their backs
out of the box, laying on its side and back into the living room.
PANEL:
THE KIDS lie on their backs.
JACK wears a huge grin with wide eyes. JILL has the same frown.
PANEL:
BOTH THE KIDS take out a
dollar and put it in front of the other's face.
PAGE 21
PANEL:
A black panel reads
“ELSEWHERE” as two voices converse.
COLONIAL CAPTAIN
Is it The Abyss?
THE CONQUERER
