Scene 1: The Office of Randell & Hopkirk protection service.
It was 2 months since Marty Hopkirk died, in a car accident. Since Marty became a ghost, he and Jeff, who is his chosen one, had had some exciting adventures together.
Now, Marty you see can mix with other spirits in club Limbo and is guided by his spirit guide, Mr Wyvern, who thought him the basics on being a spirit.
In the office, Jeff Randell was trying to catch some kip before he was woken by Marty again. Marty had woken him in the middle of the night and gotten him to solve a mystery that he thought could at least wait till morning.
Suddenly Marty appeared and woke him. "Marty, why exactly are you here, we solved the case, now leave me to rest in peace" Jeff said angrily at the spirit. "Ha, ha, Jeff, very funny, I just came to see how you were, you got a good knock on the head last night, I was really worried." "Marty, the only reason you are remotely concerned with my wellbeing is because I am your link to this world." "Well, yes there's that but also if you remember we are friends too." "Look, I don't really think that we should talk about it again" Jeff said, "What's done is done." "Well who woke up at the wrong side of the chair this afternoon" Marty said.
"I can't take this bloody depressing conversation, I'm off." Just then Jeanie came in with the post. "Well perhaps I'll stay a bit longer", the spirit said. He wanted to check up on her, just to see what exactly they get up to. He was jealous that Jeff was now able to move in and take Jeanie, now that he was dead.
"Late night again, I see" Jeanie said. "Yes, I spent half the night watching the suspect, but it paid off in the end, I got him" Jeff lied. He didn't want her to know that her ex-fiancé was back as a ghost and helping him to solve mysterious cases, she would think that he had gone bonkers. "Lier," Marty said. "So what post did we get today" Jeff said ignoring Marty's comment. "Well most of them are bills, but there is one I wanted you to see." she said.
It was a purple envelope with some gold writing that said, FOR THE EYES OF MR JEFF RANDELL ONLY. "Looks very official doesn't it" Marty said. "So what are you waiting for, open it, I want to see what it is" said Jeanie excitedly. Jeff opened it and was surprised to find two cruise tickets with a note inside with the simple words THANK YOU on it. "Wow," Jeff said. "This is amazing, when are the tickets dated for" said Jeanie.
"For two days time" said Jeff. "We're going, aren't we Jeff" said Jeanie. "Of course we are" said Jeff, "I've been meaning to take a break." "Great." said Jeanie, and gave him a hug. "I'll start packing" she said and ran out the door. "Ooh, a cruise, how romantic" said Marty sarcastically. "I thought you were going" Jeff said. "Ok, ok, consider me gone", the spirit said and vanished.
Scene 2: Merton Dingle's lair
Merton was in his lair for his friend Tommy Dawkins to show up. Tommy has a secret, an extremely hairy secret, you see a few nights before Tommy started his senior year, he was out camping with some friends, when he was bitten by a wolf. Yeah, you guessed it, he's a werewolf.
Now this night was the last night of the full moon, of the month, and his friend would have to be in the lair before sundown, plus he also wanted to tell Tommy some exciting news.
Tommy was walking to Merton's house with Lori, the three had organised a night in. Anyway, he had been pretty much ignoring Merton since Lori moved, it felt right that they should all spend time together. He could sense that sundown was approaching. His wolf senses would come and go at regular times. He had told his parents that they had organised a night in at Merton's house, his parents had always found Merton strange. Little did they know that their son was the Pleasantville werewolf and they were both on his case.
At Merton's lair, they were chatting about the weird stuff that had been going on, there was a few minutes until the moon rose, after that Tommy would be all fur and fangs.
Then he felt the change begin, the wolf senses surfaced first, his sense of smell increased, his hearing increased, he felt the fangs lengthen in his mouth. Now halfway through the change he turned to his friend and said "Now what was so important that you dragged me out to your house on the last full moon." "I'll tell you when the change is finished". Said Merton. And so the change continued, fur sprouted all over his body, his eyes changed from brown to golden brown. The change was now complete.
"So what is it" said Tommy impatiently.
