FADE IN:
INT. JESSICA DREW'S BEDROOM- NIGHT
Jessica Drew, Jessica Jones, and Carol Danvers are havin' a sleepover. They all look around 17. The TV is on playing the news.
NEWSCASTER
Breaking news! The trapster is
currently attacking Grand Central
Station! Commuters were sh-
JONES
Ugh!
DREW
Should we. . . Deal with that?
Carol and Jones quickly nose goes.
DREW
Aw, dammit!
CAROL
Wait, hold on-
The three look out the window to see Spider-Man swing out of a nearby house.
DREW
Oh,thank God.
CAROL
He's on it.
JONES
I can't believe Pete still thinks he's got a secret identity.
DREW
Yeah, well, maybe if he kept his mask on for more than five minutes.
CAROL
Pete's a good guy though.
JONES
Oh?
DREW
W-what, are you crushing on him.
CAROL
What? No!
JONES
You aaare!
2.
DREW
(meekly)
That'd be cute.
CAROL
God, that's got to be the fastest we've ever failed the Bechdel Test.
JONES
I think that's your fault for
crushing on Spider-Man.
CAROL
I am not crushing on Spider-Man!
DREW
M'kay.
CAROL
Seriously! I am so not looking for a boyfriend right now!
JONES
Why not? They're cool.
DREW
How long have you been with Luke now?
JONES
Two years.
DREW
Shit.
JONES
What about you and Clint?
DREW
Oh, that's not even two months yet.
JONES
But, seriously, Carol, not lookin' for love?
CAROL
I guess not. I think guys just tend to find me intimidating.
DREW
Why's that?
CAROL
'Cause I could blow up the moon
with one finger.
DREW
Fair.
3.
JONES
Plus, you're kinda scary.
DREW
Oh, what about that one guy, uh,
Rhodey?
Carol sighs.
CAROL
I don't know. We were talking for a little while, but I just didn't like him.
JONES
Why not?
CAROL
I don't know, I just didn't. Can we please talk about something else?
Jones yawns.
JONES
Yeah, I think I'm gonna turn in
anyway.
Drew nods.
DREW
Yeah, me too.
TIME CUT:
Jessica Drew wakes up in the middle of the night. Jessica Jones is fast asleep on the opposite side of the bed as her, but Carol is nowhere to be found. She looks up to see her out on the balcony. She climbs out of bed and joins her.
DREW
Hey.
Carol looks startled.
CAROL
Hey!
DREW
Sorry, I didn't mean to-
CAROL
No, it's okay.
DREW
What's up? Why're you still up?
Carol shrugs.
4.
CAROL
Couldn't sleep.
DREW
Hey, I'm sorry, I gave you so much shit about the boyfriend thing.
CAROL
No, it's okay. Got me thinkin'
about a lot of stuff.
There's a pause.
DREW
Anything you, uh, wanna talk to me about?
Carol leans back against the railing and sighs. She looks like she's weighing options in her head. She swallows hard.
CAROL
The reason. . . The reason I didn't like Rhodey, the reason I've never. . . Liked any boy is because. . .
Because. . .
DREW
Yeah?
CAROL
I . . . I'm gay, Jess.
Jessica is silent.
CAROL
And I'm really sorry if this is weird or if it messes up our friendship, but I need you to hear this.
She swallows hard.
CAROL
I'm in love with y-
Jess kisses her.
DREW
I love you, Carol Danvers.
Carol is shocked.
CAROL
Like-like-like as a friend?
Jess punches her on the shoulder.
DREW
I just kissed you, dude!
5.
Carol shakes her head.
CAROL
C-can I kiss you again?
Jess rolls her eyes.
DREW
Don't even ask me that.
CAROL
S-so is that-?
DREW
Yes! Kiss me, idiot!
Carol does.
DREW
Hey, you still haven't said-
CAROL
I love you, Jessica Drew.
Carol lights up.
CAROL
It rhymes!
DREW
Oh no. . .
CAROL
Jessica Drew, I love you!
Jess groans.
CAROL
Oh, sorry, I'll stop.
DREW
No! No, don't ever stop saying that. It's just. . . I just realized I'm gonna have to break up with Clint.
CAROL
Becau- wh- d-does that mean we're,
uh-uh-uh d-da-
Jess rolls her eyes.
DREW
You're such a mess.
She takes her hands.
6.
DREW
Carol Danvers. . . Will you be my girlfriend?
Carol nods her head and starts crying. Jess pulls her into a hug.
DREW
Oh, girl, it's okay, it's gonna be okay.
CAROL
No, I'm just so happy. I love you.
DREW
I love you too.
CAROL
I do kinda feel bad about stealing you from Clint, though.
DREW
Hey, listen-
Jess wipes Carol's eyes.
DREW
I dated him for like a month and a half. I don't love him. I've loved you forever.
Carol smiles.
CAROL
I love you too.
Jess pulls out her phone.
CAROL
What are you doing?
DREW
Texting Clint.
CAROL
You're gonna break up with him via text? In the middle of the night?
DREW
Yeah, I know it's shitty, but I feel really gross about dating two people at once.
CAROL
We could always. . . Wait to start dating.
DREW
No. We've waiting long enough.
7.
Carol smiles and kisses jessica.
TIME CUT:
Carol wakes up in bed where she had fallen asleep in Jessica's arms the night before, but Jess isn't there. She's pacing across the room while on the phone. Jessica Jones is sitting up in bed next to Carol.
DREW
No, Clint, I- no!
JONES
Oh, thank God you're up! She's been on the phone for a half an hour!
CAROL
What's going on?
DREW
I'm sorry, I won't reconsider.
JONES
I think she broke up with Clint.
Carol looks embarassed.
CAROL
Y-yeah.
JONES
You knew?
Carol nods.
JONES
Wh- well, do you know why?
Carol swallows hard.
CAROL
I think she's. . . Seeing someone else.
JONES
What? Already? Who?
CAROL
I, uh, don't think I'm supposed to say.
JONES
Ugh, really?
CAROL
Yeah.
8.
DREW
Yeah. No, Clint- okay. Okay, yeah, bye.
Drew hangs up the phone and sits down next to Carol.
DREW
That was a draining conversation.
Carol cautiously puts an arm around her.
JONES
Soooo. . .
DREW
Huh?
JONES
Who's your new man?
Drew goes red.
DREW
My what?
JONES
Carol told me you were seeing
someone new. That's some insane
turn around.
DREW
Jess, it isn't like that.
JONES
Who is he?
Suddenly, Carol's phone goes off.
CAROL
Guys, the Wrecking Crew Is- well, wrecking shit up downtown. We gotta go.
JONES
This conversation isn't over.
CUT TO:
EXT. DOWNTOWN NY- DAY
Carol sets Jess and Jess down in Times Square. Her and Drew are in costume. On the other side of the square, the Wrecking Crew, sans Piledriver, standing over the wreckage of an armored car pulling bags of money out of it.
CAROL
Hey, boys!
The Wrecking Crew looks up.
9.
BULLDOZER
Shit, boss, that's Captain Marvel!
THUNDERBALL
And Spider Woman!
JONES
(grumbling)
And Jessica Jones.
CAROL
We're gonna have to ask you to put that back where you found it, and maybe we'll go easy on ya.
WRECKER
We can take 'em, boys, let's go!
The Crew charges. Carol smiles and blasts the Wrecker.
CAROL
Aren't you missing someone? Where's
Piledriver?
BULLDOZER
He's in lockup! Damn spider-twerp stuck 'im there!
JONES
Piledriver? That dude clearly drew the short straw.
DREW
You clearly haven't met Thunderball yet.
Drew narrowly avoids Thunderball's wrecking ball.
JONES
Thunderball?
Jones sidesteps a charging Bulldozer and punches him down.
CAROL
No, I think it's Thunderballs.
Carol is suddenly struck by Thunderball's wrecking ball and slammed into the ground.
THUNDERBALL
Shut up!
DREW
Carol!
Drew venom blasts Thunderball and jumps over to Carol.
DREW
Oh my God, please be okay!
10.
Carol reaches a hand up.
CAROL
Dude, I'm fine. I'm basically
invulnerable, remember?
Drew pulls her up and kisses her.
DREW
Sorry, I just got worried.
Carol goes red.
CAROL
Uh, Jess, you-
JONES
What the hell?
DREW
Oh, shit.
JONES
Did you just-
Bulldozer slams into Jones.
WRECKER
Well, looky here, boys, seems like we've got a couple 'a dykes on our hands.
Carol's eyes glow.
CAROL
Dirk, I'm gonna punch you into
space.
Captain Marvel uppercuts the Wrecker into the upper atmosphere. She turns to Thunderball and Bulldozer.
CAROL
Want a piece?
They both put their hands up.
CUT TO:
INT. JESSICA DREW'S BEDROOM- DAY
Drew, Carol, and Jess are sitting on the bed. They all look shaken up.
JONES
Sooo. . .
CAROL
Was that televised?
11.
DREW
Yeah, but it looks like the Wrecker was blocking the, uh, the, uh, he was blocking us.
CAROL
Cool.
JONES
Do. . . Do you guys wanna tell me anything?
Drew and Carol look at eachother.
JONES
You don't have to if you don't want to.
Drew sighs.
DREW
Okay, so. . . I've been. . . I've been in love with Carol as long as I can remember. Then last night, she told me she felt the same way, and I basically dumped Clint on the spot.
JONES
So. . . You're gay?
DREW
I'm bi.
CAROL
I'm gay.
JONES
Wait, what about Marv?
CAROL
What about him?
JONES
Weren't you two. . ?
CAROL
Oh, oh my God, no.
JONES
Oh. Well, obviously I'm super happy for you guys, but how come you never told me you were gay?
CAROL
I mean-
12.
DREW
I hadn't told anybody until yesterday. You are only the second person either of us have even told.
Jones lights up and pulls the other two into a hug.
JONES
I know I sort of found out on accident, but thanks for trusting me enough to talk to me about it.
CAROL
Aw, JJ, we would've told you soon anyways.
DREW
We love you, girl!
Jones grins, then stands up.
JONES
Okay, well, I'm gonna. . . Give you two some space.
CAROL
You don't have to-
JONES
You guys have barely had a second alone since you've been together. I'm gonna go bother Luke for a while.
Jones exits. There's an awkward pause.
CAROL
Okay, so, we should talk.
DREW
Wait, first-
Drew kisses her.
CAROL
Thanks, I needed that. Oh my gosh, Jess, you rushing over to me when I got hit-
DREW
I'm sorry! I know you're indestructible, I was just worried.
CAROL
No, that was so cute!
Drew blushes.
13.
DREW
Oh my God, you uppercutting the Wrecker into space? Carol, that was so hot!
Carol beams and starts tearing up.
DREW
Oh my gosh, are you-
CAROL
I'm amazing. I just. . . You have no idea how great it is to finally be able to be myself with you.
DREW
Aw, Carol,
Drew pulls her into a hug.
DREW
I know exactly how that feels.
Carol wipes her eyes and pulls away.
CAROL
Okay, so. . . Who. . . Are we going to tell about this?
DREW
Honestly, Carol, I don't want to keep this a secret. I'm in love with you and I don't wanna hide it.
Carol keeps tearing up.
CAROL
I love you too, and. . . I don't want to hide it either, but. . . You know what my dad is like.
Drew nods.
DREW
I get it.
CAROL
Could we maybe just keep this on the down low for a little while?
Drew nods.
DREW
What about. . . Can we tell my mom? It's okay if you're not comfortable with that, but I know for sure she'd be cool.
14.
CAROL
Y-yeah, that's okay. Just as long
as she knows to keep quiet.
DREW
Can I ask you something?
CAROL
Yeah.
DREW
Why now? What made you tell me last night?
CAROL
Well. . . Last night, Jess, uh JJ, was talking about how awesome having a boyfriend was and I realized- even though I obviously didn't want a boyfriend- I was really, really lonely. And, y'know, we're all gonna be graduating and going on different paths next year, and I'd never forgive myself if I didn't tell you how I feel.
DREW
Oh, Carol, I had no idea you were so lonely.
Carol smiles.
CAROL
It's okay! I'm not anymore!
Drew kisses her.
CUT TO:
EXT. DOWNTOWN NY- DAY
Carol and Jess are walking to school the following day hand in hand.
CLINT
Hey!
The two stop and let go of eachother's hands as they see Clint rushing towards them from an alley.
CLINT
What the hell is this?
DREW
What the hell is what?
Clint points at their hands.
15.
CLINT
C'mon, I saw that! They don't call me Hawkeye for nuthin'.
His eyes widen.
CLINT
Oh my God, Carol is who you left me for?
DREW
Shh!
CLINT
Was I really such a shitty boyfriend that I turned you gay?
DREW
Shut the hell up, Clint! I'm gonna need you to do me a solid and not tell anyone about this.
Clint crosses his arms.
CLINT
I dunno, this could be some pretty fantastic blackmail. . .
Carol pushes Clint into the alley and slams him up against the wall.
CAROL
Listen, Arrow Guy-
CLINT
(choking)
Hawkeye!
Carol's eyes glow.
CAROL
You know how easy it'd be for me to throw you to space?
CLINT
Aw, but you're not gonna do that, are ya, Carol.
CAROL
I dunno, ya keep tempting me.
DREW
Carol, put 'im down. Please.
Carol immidiately drops Clint, who falls to his knees.
CLINT
(coughing)
I can see why you like her.
16.
Jessica kneels down in front of Clint.
DREW
Listen, Clint. . . I want you to know that it's not your fault.
CLINT
Yeah, I know.
DREW
We dated for less than two months, I've been in love with Carol for years. I couldn't just let that get away from me, yeah?
CLINT
I get it.
DREW
And, are you listening? 'Cause this is the important part.
Clint rolls his eyes.
CLINT
I mean, I'm not "listening-"
DREW
Can you read my goddamn lips,
Clint?
CLINT
Yes.
DREW
My girlfriend here,
Carol beams
DREW
her dad isn't the most. . . Understanding. It would be really bad if he found out she was dating a girl. Okay?
CLINT
(with a huff)
Yeah.
Jess reaches out her hand.
DREW
Friends?
Clint hesitates.
CLINT
Friends.
17.
Jess takes his hand and pulls him to his feet. He turns to Carol.
CAROL
We're not there yet.
DREW
C'mon.
The three continue towards Midtown High.
DREW
To answer your question, no, you
did not turn me gay, Clint.
CLINT
I know that ain't actually how it works.
DREW
You were fine. I just wasn't in
love with you.
CLINT
I was fine? That's a little
demeaning.
DREW
Cut the crap, Clint, we all know I was just rebound from Bobbi.
Clint goes red.
CLINT
What? No, I'm t-totally over her.
CAROL
Ha! Keep tellin' yourself that!
CLINT
I am!
DREW
Is that a Mockingbird on your
necklace?
Clint gets redder.
CLINT
Shut up!
CUT TO:
INT. RESTAURANT- EVENING
Jessica Drew, Carol Danvers, and Miriam Drew are sitting at a table at a fairly nice restaurant. They're all dressed up. The waitress is just leaving after taking their orders when Miriam turns to face the girls.
18.
MIRIAM
So, what's this about?
DREW
W-what do you mean?
Miriam gives her a look.
MIRIAM
C'mon girls, you invite me to this fancy restaurant and get all dressed up and you don't think I'm gonna realize somethin's up?
There's no response.
MIRIAM
Guys, c'mon, you can talk to me.
Are you okay?
Drew takes a deep breath.
DREW
Mom, I'm. . . Gay. And Carol is my girlfriend.
Carol blushes and nods. Miriam beams.
MIRIAM
Oh, girls,
She takes one of each of their hands.
MIRIAM
I'm so glad you were able to tell me this. . . But I already knew that.
DREW
You what?
MIRIAM
You're pretty easy to read. Although, I did think for a while it might just be wishful thinking, I can't think of a more amazing young woman for my daughter to be dating.
Carol beams.
MIRIAM
I love you girls.
Miriam hugs them both.
MIRIAM
Does your dad know?
19.
CAROL
N-no. And, we'd sort of like to
keep it that way.
DREW
Yeah, mom, we told you 'cause we trust you, but you can't tell anybody.
MIRIAM
My lips are sealed.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD- DAY
A van full of highschool students is driving down the road. Inside is Jessica Drew, Jessica Jones, Carol Danvers, Jean Grey, Jane Foster, Jennifer Walters, and Susan Storm in the driver's seat.
SUSAN
Okay, girls, about five minutes
until we hit the United States
National Radio Quiet Zone! Send
your final text messages now.
JONES
Remind me again why we came all the way out here?
JEN
C'mon, JJ, what, do you have the memory of a goldfish?
JONES
A goldfish with super strength!
JANE
We're just trying to get away from drama back home. No contact with the outside world.
Jean coughs.
SUSAN
Hey!
She points at Jean through the review mirror.
SUSAN
That includes you! We're having no contact with any boyfriends this weekend, and that includes psychic messaging Scott!
JEAN
I get it, I get it.
20.
Jones glares at Carol and Drew in the backseat.
JONES
Y'all are lucky.
Drew and Carol go red.
JANE
Why?
JONES
Uh, I mean, 'cause they don't have boyfriends back home to be missing.
JEN
Uh, me neither, man.
JONES
Y-yeah.
JEAN
Okay, but long run, not exactly
lucky.
JANE
Jean, don't be shitty.
DREW
It's cool. My last boyfriend was Clint Barton, so I feel like I need a cooldown before I get back out there.
JEAN
What's Carol's excuse?
CAROL
Jesus, have y'all never even heard of the Bechdel Test?
SUSAN
Of course I've heard of the Bechdel
Test!
JEAN
I actually haven't.
CAROL
It's a test to see if women in fiction talk to eachother about anything other than men.
SUSAN
New rule: No boy talk!
JONES
Like, we're not allowed to talk
about boys at all?
21.
SUSAN
You know what I meant.
JONES
Haha, I did.
SUSAN
Oop! Hope you all sent those texts, 'cause we're here.
CUT TO:
EXT. CAMPGROUND- NIGHT
Carol, Jess, Jess, Jean, Jane, Jen, and Susan are sitting around the campfire deep in the woods surrounded by three tents.
JEAN
Hey, you know what I just realized?
JANE
Hm?
JEAN
We have a ton of J's here. Jean,
Jane, Jen, Jessica and Jessica.
SUSAN
That is a lot.
CAROL
Oh, you don't know the half of it.
JEAN
Huh?
CAROL
My full name is Carol Susan Jane
Danvers.
JEAN
Woah!
JANE
That's two of us!
CAROL
I know!
Suddenly, the conversation is interrupted by the sound of a large branch breaking. Jessica Drew jumps up onto Carol's lap.
CAROL
(whispering)
"To know her is to fear her."
22.
DREW
(whispering)
Shut up!
JANE
What, uh, what was that?
JEAN
D-do you think it was Sasquatch?
JEN
No, that guys on Alpha Flight.
JEAN
Not the super hero, the real deal.
SUSAN
I think he is the real deal.
JONES
I sincerly doubt the Canadian super hero Sasquatch is snooping around random campgrounds in West Virginia.
JEN
You never know. The truth is out there, Jess.
JONES
Oh my God.
DREW
(whispering)
Babe, I think I'm really afraid of the woods. Is that weird?
CAROL
Yes.
Jane, sitting just next to Carol and Jess, turns towards them, confused.
JANE
(whispering)
"babe"?
Drew goes red.
DREW
(whispering)
Uh, that's just like a thing I say?
Unconvinced, Jane turns back to the group.
JANE
So, are we gonna go check it out?
23.
JONES
Are you?
JANE
Really? You're gonna send me? The only one of us without super powers?
JONES
Yes.
CAROL
I'll do it.
Carol stands up and Jess slides off her lap.
JEAN
You need a flashlight?
Carol lights up her hand.
CAROL
Nope.
JEAN
(grumbling)
Show off.
Carol heads off into the woods.
DREW
I feel like I should go with her.
JANE
Weren't you just saying you were really afraid of the woods?
DREW
Yeah, but she shouldn't be out
there alone.
JEN
Why's it gotta be you?
DREW
I-I-I mean it doesn't, I just meant
she, uh, shouldn't be alone.
SUSAN
She's Captain Marvel, I'm sure she can handle it.
DREW
Okay.
Drew looks very nervous. Jones stands up.
JONES
I'll go with her.
24.
DREW
Thanks.
Jones heads off after Carol. She catches up with her beyond the treeline.
JONES
Hey!
CAROL
What are you doing here?
JONES
Drew was worried about you being
out here alone, but she was too
spooked to come out here.
CAROL
Aww.
JONES
Gross. Find anything?
CAROL
Yeah.
Carol points to a tree with a broken branch.
CAROL
This is what we heard. There's
flattened brush leading up to it
and in that direction.
She points right.
JONES
Well, lead the way, Captain Marvel.
Carol heads off in the direction of the trail, Jones in tow.
Back at the campfire:
SUSAN
Jean, what's going on?
JEAN
They found some tracks. They're
following it.
DREW
Ohh. . .
JANE
You okay, Jess?
DREW
Yeah, I just. . . I'm really afraid of the woods.
25.
JANE
That's all?
DREW
(through gritted teeth)
Yes.
SUSAN
Jess, you know you can talk to us, right?
JEAN
Hold on, I can-
SUSAN
No!
Jess jumps up and points a hand at Jean.
DREW
Do not read my mind, Jean Grey.
JEN
What the hell, Jean?
JEAN
Sorry! Sorry!
They're suddenly interrupted by a roar from the woods.
SUSAN
Jean, what was that?
JEAN
I thought I wasn't supposed to read people's mind without permission.
SUSAN
You're not, but this is a matter of life and death!
JEAN
Uh, I don't know, they ran in to something.
Drew hesitates before sprinting off into the woods.
JANE
Jess!
Jane runs after her. Jean, Jen, and Susan hesitate before following.
DREW
Carol! Carol!
Drew sprints down the path until she finds a torn piece of Carol's sash stuck to a branch.
26.
DREW
Oh my God.
She grabs the scrap.
DREW
Oh my God.
She falls to her knees and starts crying just as Jane rushes up to her.
JANE
Jess! What happened.
Jane sees the scrap and that Jess is crying.
JANE
Oh my god.
She kneels down next to Jess,
JANE
Hey, come on. I'm sure they're
okay, but we have to find them.
She looks up and points toward some broken branches.
JANE
It looks like they went this way.
Jess wipes her eyes and stands up.
DREW
R-right. Let's go.
Drew heads off with Jane in tow.
JANE
Can I ask you something?
Jess doesn't respond.
JANE
What's going on with you and Carol?
Jess stops a second to collect herself.
DREW
I'm sorta. . . I'm in love with
her.
JANE
O-oh. Then we'd better find her.
Jane and Jess wander deeper into the woods until they hear the sounds of a battle. They quickly rush forward and enter a clearing. On the other side of the clearing is a cave, and just in front of it, Jessica Jones and Carol are battling a Wendigo. When the two enter the clearing, Carol turns to see
27.
Jess.
CAROL
Jess!
Carol lights up (literally) and punches Wendigo, sending him flying across the clearing, slamming him into a tree, knocking him out. Jess runs up to Carol and kisses her.
JONES
You couldn't have down that
earlier?
CAROL
Jess wasn't here earlier!
JONES
Yes, I was.
CAROL
My Jess.
JEAN
Your what?
Jean and Susan enter the clearing behind Jane.
CAROL
Oh, uh, h-hey, guys.
SUSAN
What's going on?
CAROL
Oh, it was just a Wendigo. Me and
JJ took care of it.
SUSAN
"Just a Wendigo"? Y'know that's a person, right?
CAROL
Yeah, a cannibal person. Plus, we didn't kill him.
JEN
Well that's good.
JONES
What, uh, what do we do with it
now, though?
SUSAN
Not sure. I think, once we get out of the quiet zone, we should call Jericho or Stephen.
JANE
Rogers?
28.
SUSAN
Strange.
JEAN
Can we get back to my question?
SUSAN
Which was?
JEAN
I forget, but what's going on here?
CAROL
Didn't. . . We just tell you?
JEAN
You know what I mean.
CAROL
Do I?
Jean sighs and touches her temple.
DREW
Hey!
Drew venom blasts Jean, knocking her out.
JANE
Woah!
SUSAN
What the hell!
Susan catches Jean.
DREW
She was going to read my mind!
SUSAN
That's. . . Fair. Let's just get back to camp, it doesn't look like that Wendigo is going anywhere for a while.
Back at camp, Carol pulls Jess aside to talk to her.
CAROL
Hey, I sort of feel like we should be transparent with these girls.
Jess lights up.
JESS
Really?
CAROL
Yeah. I mean, most of them know
anyway.
29.
Jess beams and kisses her.
JESS
Good. I hate hiding.
CAROL
Me too.
Carol and Jess join the rest of the gang around the campfire.
SUSAN
Jess, you know how long she'll be out?
DREW
Not long. I didn't hit her that
hard.
Jean starts stirring.
JEN
Speak of the devil.
SUSAN
Hey, Jean.
Jean rubs her eyes.
JEAN
Wh- what happened?
DREW
Hey, Jean. Sorry I venom blasted you.
JEAN
S'cool. I was about to read your mind.
SUSAN
Jean, we talked about that.
JEAN
I know, I'm sorry.
CAROL
Jean, uh, you were asking something before you got zapped?
JEAN
Was I? Oh, yeah! When I came into the clearing, I heard you call her-
Jean points at Jess.
JEAN
-"your Jess". What was that about?
30.
CAROL
Well, I mean, that was, uh, probably about how, uh, me and Jess have been dating for like six months now?
SUSAN
You what?
DREW
(weakly)
Surpriiiise!
JEAN
(weakly)
Knew it.
JEN
Holy shit, why didn't you guys tell us?
JANE
Honestly, why are you guys even in the closet at all? I mean, Midtown's pretty damn cool with that sorta thing, Billy and Teddy have been out for a while now. Plus, you're both indestructible super heroes.
DREW
Well-
CAROL
It's 'cause of my dad. I don't want him to kick me out.
JEAN
Oh, damn, I'm sorry. I really
shouldn't have pushed this.
CAROL
No, it's okay. We trust you guys.
JANE
Thanks for that.
SUSAN
Jones, you seem
uncharacteristically quiet on the
matter.
JONES
(laughing)
Yeah, you'd almost think I've known this for six months already or something.
31.
JEN
What?
JONES
Yeah, I was, like, five feet way when they first kised.
JEN
What?
Carol and Jess are red.
DREW
She was asleep.
JONES
Was I?
Drew flashes a venom blast.
DREW
You better've been.
JONES
Ha ha, I was.
CAROL
Don't feel bad about her knowing so long, though, she found out on accident.
JONES
And by "on accident", she means they kissed right in front of me.
CAROL
Shut up!
JEAN
If this was supposed to be a
secret, why were you smoochin'
right in front of Jones?
DREW
It was literally day one! We didn't really have a handle on things yet.
JEN
Woah, you were kissing day one?
DREW
Well-
CAROL
It's not like we just started dating, it's like, y'know, I've loved her for years and then when I found out she loved me too, hell yeah I'm gonna kiss her!
32.
DREW
I actually kissed her first.
CAROL
Shut up.
SUSAN
Aww!
Carol and Drew are bright red.
CAROL
Can we talk about something else?
JEAN
Yeah, sorry for bein' pushy.
DREW
It's okay! We're happy to answer any questions, we just don't want this to be weird.
SUSAN
When are you guys planning on
coming out?
DREW
I. . . Don't know.
CAROL
Whenever I can move out.
JEN
You guys do it yet?
JANE
Woah!
SUSAN
Jen, what the hell?
JEN
What? We're all thinking it.
SUSAN
No, we weren't!
JEAN
Hold on.
Jean touches her temple.
JEAN
They have.
CAROL
What the hell!?
33.
DREW
Stop reading my mind!
JEAN
Ha! I didn't! But you just admitted it!
JANE
That was cold.
JEN
Holy shit.
Drew and Carol are bright red.
DREW
I already regret coming out.
JONES
Who's bottom?
Carol stands up.
CAROL
Okay, I think I'm gonna go to bed.
Carol exits the circle and enters her tent. The rest of the group sits in awkward silence for a moment.
SUSAN
Jess?
DREW
Hm?
SUSAN
You don't have to pretend you wanna keep sitting with us.
Jess hesitates before getting up and following Carol.
JONES
Just try and keep it down!
Jess flips her off.
CUT TO:
INT. CAROL'S APARTMENT- EVENING
Carol is heading for the door. She walks past her dad, who's watching TV.
DAD
Where're you goin'?
Carol freezes.
34.
CAROL
Oh, uh, j-just to hangout with the
Jessicas.
DAD
Heh. Doin' that a lot lately.
CAROL
Yeah, they're my best friends, dad.
DAD
When are you gonna get yourself a boyfriend?
CAROL
W-what?
DAD
Hangin' out with girls are the
time, people might think you're
some kinda queer.
CAROL
O-oh. I'm kinda too busy with
school right now for a boyfriend.
DAD
Eh. Don't wanna wait too long. It's only gonna get harder to get yourself a husband to take care of ya as ya age.
CAROL
Dad, I'm seventeen.
DAD
Uhuh.
Carol shakes her head and walks out the door.
CUT TO:
INT. JESSICA DREW'S BEDROOM- NIGHT
Jess turns as she hears a knock on her window. Hovering just outside is Carol. She grins and lets her in.
DREW
Hey!
Carol lands and kisses her.
CAROL
Hey!
DREW
What're we doin' today?
35.
CAROL
I know it's "date night", but do
you mind if we just sort of hang
around? I'm a little drained.
DREW
Of course.
Jess and Carol lay back on the roof staring up at the stars.
CAROL
I was thinking. . .
DREW
Yeah?
CAROL
I wanna get my haircut.
DREW
Yeah, it is getting a little long.
CAROL
No, I mean, I wanna get it cut
really short.
DREW
Ooo.
CAROL
What?
DREW
That'd be hot.
Carol smiles.
CAROL
I was, uh, also thinking. . .
DREW
You gonna make me guess?
Carol swallows.
CAROL
When's prom?
DREW
About a month. Wait, Carol, are
you-
CAROL
I was just thinking, maybe that's when we go public?
DREW
No!
36.
CAROL
No?
DREW
Oh, I mean, that's an amazing idea-
She kisses her.
DREW
I just meant you are not asking me to prom right now. If we're doing this, we're doing it right.
CAROL
What?
DREW
That's right, we're goin' full on pomposal, baby!
CAROL
Oh, Jess-
DREW
Nope! You're not talkin' me out of this one!
Carol grins.
CAROL
Okay.
They kiss.
DREW
What made you change you mind?
CAROL
I just. . . Wanna go to a dance
with you. As your girlfriend. I
gotta stop letting fear hold me
back.
Jessica smiles and pulls her close.
DREW
Can you stay over?
CAROL
Of course!
DREW
I love you, Carol Danvers.
CAROL
I love you too, Jessica Drew.
They kiss.
37.
CUT TO:
INT. CAROL'S APARTMENT- EVENING
Carol is lying on her bed reading a book (somethin' about planes or space) with an orange cat sitting on her lap when there's a knock on her window. She looks up to see Jessica carrying a bouqet. Confused, she opens the window.
CAROL
Jess? What's up?
Jess hands Carol the flowers.
DREW
I knew you wouldn't want a big
showy gesture so-
Jess takes a deep breath.
DREW
Carol Susan Jane Danvers. . . Will you go to prom with me?
Carol beams.
CAROL
Jessica Miriam Drew, it would be my genuine pleasure.
Jessica smiles and kisses her.
DREW
Your dad home?
CAROL
Nope.
Jess grins and pushes Carol down onto her bed.
CUT TO:
INT. MIDTOWN HIGH SCHOOL- DAY
Carol is sitting in a study hall reading that same book from the previous scene. Her hair is pulled up into a bun. She turns back when Eric Brooks, who's sitting behind her, taps her on the shoulder.
ERIC
Hey, Carol, you own any turtle
necks?
CAROL
What? Why?
Johnny Storm, to her right, leans over.
38.
JOHNNY
Look at your neck.
CAROL
Look at my- I can't look at my own neck, idiot.
ERIC
You've, uh, you've got a very
visible, uh-
JOHNNY
We can all see your hickey, dude.
Carol goes red and her eyes go wide.
CAROL
What?
Johnny points to her neck. Carol quickly puts her hair down and brushes it in front of her neck.
CAROL
Oh my gosh, how obvious is it?
JOHNNY
Oh my God, sooo obvious!
CAROL
Oh my God.
ERIC
Shut up, Johnny. You can barely
tell with your hair down.
CAROL
Thank God.
JOHNNY
Sooo, Carol?
CAROL
What?
JOHNNY
Who's your guy? Don't remember you ever havin' a boyfriend.
CAROL
Seriously?
ERIC
Gotta admit, I am curious.
CAROL
Ugh. You guys goin' to prom?
JOHNNY
Duh.
39.
ERIC
No.
CAROL
Well, then you'll meet 'em then.
And I'll introduce you sometime,
Eric.
ERIC
I look forward to it.
CUT TO:
INT. CAROL'S APARTMENT- EVENING
Carol is sitting in her room with her hair up reading her book. Her dad enters the room without knocking.
CAROL
H-hey, dad. What's up?
DAD
I heard prom was tomorrow.
CAROL
Y-yeah?
DAD
You goin'?
CAROL
Yeah, I'm just goin' with some friends. The Jessicas and Jennifer Walters.
DAD
Walters? That that green girl?
CAROL
Yeah.
DAD
Ugh. And I thought I told you hangin' out with those girls all the time was- what's that?
Her dad points at her neck.
CAROL
Uh-
DAD
Is that a hickey?
CAROL
N-no?
Her dad violently grabs her by the arm.
40.
DAD
What the hell have you been doin'?
CAROL
Get off me!
She pulls her arm free.
DAD
Who the hell have you been messin' around with?
CAROL
It's none of your business!
Her dad backhands her. She doesn't even flinch, but she is shocked. Her dad clutches his hand.
DAD
What the hell?
Carol's eyes glow.
CAROL
Don't touch me.
DAD
W-what the hell? Are you a fuckin'
mutant?
Carol pushes open her window and takes off into the sky.
CUT TO:
INT. JESSICA DREW'S BEDROOM- NIGHT
Jess opens her window to let Carol in.
DREW
What's going on?
Carol hugs her.
CAROL
Can I crash here tonight?
DREW
Of course. Are you okay?
CAROL
Yeah, just. . . My dad saw my
hickey and he freaked out.
DREW
Oh my God, did he find out?
CAROL
Well, no, he did find out about my powers though.
41.
DREW
Oh, no. . .
CAROL
I just got so pissed off.
DREW
Did you kill him?
CAROL
Jesus, Jess, No!
DREW
Sorry. That was poorly timed
CAROL
It's okay. I just. . . Really need to get out of there.
DREW
I know.
CUT TO:
INT. BATHROOM- NIGHT.
Carol stands in Jessica's bathroom staring herself down in the mirror. Her eyes are red (like, as in she's been crying, not possessed). She opens a drawer and pulls out of a pair of scissors.
CUT TO:
INT. JESSICA DREW'S BEDROOM- NIGHT
Carol exits the bathroom and returns to Jessica's room. Jessica's lying in bed facing away from her. Carol crawls into bed and puts her arms around her.
DREW
Hey.
Jess reaches her hand up to play with Carol's hair but doesn't find it.
DREW
What?
Drew turns to see Carol's hair, cut short.
DREW
Oh my God.
CAROL
(nervously)
You like it?
Jess kisses her.
42.
DREW
I love it.
CAROL
Oh, good.
DREW
I also love you.
CAROL
I love you too.
DREW
Oh, dude, your hickey is gonna be so obvious!
CAROL
I know. After tomorrow, I don't
care.
DREW
Are you sure you're ready? I mean, your dad-
CAROL
What's he gonna do? I'm
indestructable, baby.
Jess smiles and kisses her.
DREW
Hey.
CAROL
Hm.
DREW
I get to publically be your
girlfriend for the first time
tomorrow.
Carol beams.
CAROL
I'm so excited.
DREW
Me too!
Carol kisses her while Jess feels her hair.
DREW
Ooh, yeah, I love this.
Carol grins and kisses her again. Suddenly, the door opens.
MIRIAM
Hey, Jess, I-
43.
DREW
Mom!
MIRIAM
Oh my gosh!
She steps back out the door and shuts it.
MIRIAM
I'm sorry! I didn't know Carol was here!
CAROL
It's okay, Ms. Drew, we're decent!
MIRIAM
M'kay.
Miriam stays on the other side of the door.
MIRIAM
I just wanted you to know that your dress is ready. You two are still going to prom, right?
DREW
Yes, thanks mom!
MIRIAM
Oh good. Well, I'll leave you girls alone. Goodnight, love ya!
DREW
Mo-om!
CAROL
Love you too, Ms. Drew!
DREW
Carol!
CAROL
What? I do. Your mom's so cool.
DREW
Yeah, I guess she really is. I
guess I never think about it.
CAROL
Like, think about it, she lets your girlfriend stay the night like all the time. If I brought my girlfriend home, my dad would kill me.
DREW
I mean-
44.
CAROL
-He would try.
DREW
Yeah. Carol, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that shit.
CAROL
It's cool. It's not for much
longer.
DREW
Still,-
CAROL
Plus, I've got you. That more than makes up for it.
Jess grins and hugs Carol tight.
DREW
I love you.
CAROL
I love you too.
TIME CUT:
Drew wakes up in the morning to see Carol getting dressed.
DREW
What's up?
CAROL
I gotta run home.
DREW
What? Why?
CAROL
My suit's there.
DREW
Oh no.
CAROL
Yeah.
DREW
Can. . . Can I come with you?
Carol hesitates.
CAROL
Yeah. I think that's a good idea.
It's high time we talk to my dad.
DREW
Really?
45.
CAROL
Yeah. I mean, he can't really hate me any more than he already does.
CUT TO:
INT. CAROL'S APARTMENT- DAY
Carol and Jess enter Carol's room through the window. Her room looks like it's been ransacked.
CAROL
Aw, what the hell?
DREW
You didn't happen to have, like, a diary or anything, did you?
CAROL
No.
Carol looks in her closet.
CAROL
Shit.
DREW
What?
CAROL
It's gone.
DREW
The suit?
CAROL
Yeah. C'mon.
Carol takes Jessica's hand and leads her into the hallway.
She looks left and right.
JUNIOR
(whispering)
Carol?
Carol and Jess turn to see Joe Jr., Carol's brother.
DREW
(whispering)
Joey Jr.!
JUNIOR
What are you doing?
CAROL
We're, uh, um-
JUNIOR
Lookin' for your suit?
46.
CAROL
Y-yeah.
He gestures for them to follow him. He leads them into his room, where he shows them the suit.
JUNIOR
I hid it, 'cause I figure you
wouldn't want dad findin' it.
CAROL
That's. . . Thank you, junior.
Junior glances down at Carol and Jess's hands.
CAROL
Oh, Junior-
JUNIOR
S'cool, I figured as much.
DREW
(whispering)
We're really bad at keeping this secret.
JUNIOR
It's okay. Y'all have a great prom.
CAROL
Junior. . .
Carol hugs him.
CAROL
Thank you.
Carol and Jess sneak back into the hallway.
DREW
Why are we sneaking? I thought you wanted to talk to your dad?
CAROL
Is it cool that I'm chickening out?
DREW
No, of course that's okay!
DAD
Carol?
The two freeze as his voice rings up the stairs.
CAROL
No. . ?
Carol's dad stomps up the stairs.
47.
DAD
What the hell are you doing here?
CAROL
Picking something up. I was just
leaving.
DAD
What the hell did you do to your hair? And why the hell is she here?
Dad points at Jess. Carol grabs Jess's hand.
CAROL
Because she's my girlfriend.
DAD
You're-
Dad grabs her by the wrist.
DAD
You're going to prom with a girl?
You're- you're a fuckin' dyke?
Carol's eyes start to glow, but before she reacts, Drew hits him with a venom blast and knocks him down the stairs.
DAD
What the-
DREW
Do not touch my girlfriend. C'mon,
Carol. Let's go.
CAROL
Bye, dad.
CUT TO:
INT. MIRIAM'S CAR- NIGHT
The car is parked in the Midtown High parking lot. Miriam is in the driver's seat and Carol and Jess are in the back seat. Carol is wearing a blue suit with a red vest and gold bowtie while Jess is wearing a red and black dress with yellow highlights.
MIRIAM
You guys. . . Really don't match.
DREW
Yeah, but this works better
thematically.
MIRIAM
Whatever you say.
Jess takes Carol's hand.
48.
DREW
Are you sure you're ready? We don't have to go if you don't want to.
Carol shakes her head.
CAROL
No. I don't know that I'm ready, but we have to do this. I love you a lot and I'm done hiding it.
Jess smiles.
DREW
I love you too.
They kiss.
MIRIAM
Aww!
DREW
Mom!
MIRIAM
Sorry, I ruined the moment.
DREW
(grumbling)
Let's just go.
Jess starts to open the door.
CAROL
Stop!
DREW
What?
Carol jumps out of the car, rushes to the other side of it and opens Jess's door for her.
CAROL
M'lady.
Jess takes her hand and steps out of the car.
DREW
You are such a dork.
CAROL
Thanks for the ride, Miriam!
MIRIAM
No problem! Have fun, girls!
Carol shuts the door and Miriam drives off. Carol takes a deep breath and squeezes Jess's hand.
49.
CAROL
Let's go.
The pair walk up the stairs towards the school. They're decently late, and no one is currently entering.
JOHNNY
Hey! Rad haircut!
Johnny Storm walks out the school enterance.
DREW
(whispering)
Oh no, your hair looks the same!
CAROL
Johnny? You're leaving?
JOHNNY
Nah, just gettin' some fresh air.
Been sweatin' up a storm in there.
DREW
Gross.
JOHNNY
Hey, weren't you gonna introduce me to the hickey-giver?
CAROL
"Hickey-giver?"
JOHNNY
Y'know, you're boyfriend.
CAROL
I'm, uh, pretty sure you've met her already.
JOHNNY
I-
He looks at Jessica and sees her holding hands with Carol.
He slaps himself on the forehead.
JOHNNY
Oh my God, I'm such an idiot.
Jess grins.
DREW
Lil' bit.
JOHNNY
Sorry for callin' you a
hickey-giver, Jess. Y'all have fun.
Johnny walks off.
50.
DREW
Ready?
CAROL
Y'know, I've fought aliens and
monsters and shit-
DREW
Me too, babe.
CAROL
-and that's never scared me, but. .
. This does.
DREW
Why?
CAROL
I. . . I don't know.
Jess squeezes her hand.
DREW
Then let's go!
Carol smiles.
CAROL
Right. Let's go.
The two walk into the school and enter prom. They're all immediately greeted by Jen, Jane, JJ, and Susan.
JEN/JANE/JONES/SUSAN
Hey!
JEN
You finally showed!
DREW
Hey, we're fashionably late.
JONES
Holy, shit, Carol, your hair!
JEN
Oh my God!
CAROL
Y-yeah.
JANE
I love it!
JONES
Me too! Although, you have a very visible hic-
51.
CAROL
I know.
SUSAN
I just wanted you to know that
we're here for you tonight.
DREW
Thanks guys, but honestly we'd
really rather try and not make a
huge deal out of this.
Susan nods.
SUSAN
You heard her, girls, disperse.
The girls slowly drift apart. As the night goes on, aside from a murmur here and there, Carol and Jess have a fantastic time free of conflict.
BOBBI
Hey, Jess!
Jess and Carol to see Bobbi Morse coming towards them out of the crowd.
JESS
Hey, Bobbi!
BOBBI
Carol, what, I absolutely LOVE your haircut!
CAROL
Thank you!
Bobbi realizes Carol has her arm around Drew
BOBBI
Wait, are you guys. . . Here
together?
DREW
Uh. . . Yeah.
Bobbi grins.
BOBBI
About damn time, huh?
DREW
You have no idea.
Later that night, during the last song of the night, Jess and Carol are slow dancing.
CAROL
Hey.
52.
JESS
Hey.
CAROL
Tonight was. . . Really easy.
JESS
Yeah?
CAROL
Yeah. It was just really nice to spend time with you in public.
JESS
I know!
CAROL
I'm sorry we couldn't sooner.
JESS
It's okay, I understand.
CAROL
I know I say this a lot, but I
really, really love you.
Jess grins and kisses Carol, not worried about who might be watching.
JESS
I love you too.

JONES
Why the hell are we going back to
West Virginia?
DREW
Mountain Mama!
JONES
Shut up.
SUSAN
We're going back 'cause this is our last summer until we all go off our seperate ways. And I'm gonna miss you guys.
JEAN
JJ, why'd you even come if you
don't wanna be here?
JONES
(grumbling)
Maybe I'm gonna miss you guys too.
JANE/JEN/JEAN/SUSAN/CAROL/DREW/KITTY
Awwww!
JONES
Shut uuuup!
KITTY
So, where exactly are we going.
JEAN
The no cell phone zone.
KITTY
That can't be what it's called.
SUSAN
It's the National Radio Quiet Zone. Although, yes, there's no cell reception.
KITTY
Figured
Jess Drew yawns, stretches and leans up against Carol.
54.
DREW
Wake me when we're there, babe.
CUT TO:
EXT. CAMPGROUND- NIGHT
All the girls are sitting around a campfire. Jess is sitting on Carol's lap.
JEAN
Remember when we were here last
year and we fought that Wendigo?
JONES
Um, pretty sure just me and and
Carol fought the Wendigo.
CAROL
Aw, yeah, that was kick ass!
KITTY
Y'all fought a Wendigo?
JONES
Yeah, pretty impressive, yeah?
KITTY
Yeah, I guess, I mean, the X-Men
have fought Wendigos before too.
JONES
Ooo, look at Kitty, she's on a biig super hero team.
KITTY
Wh- Jean is too!
JEAN
I don't brag about it, though.
KITTY
Weren't you not just bragging about fighting a Wendigo?
JEN
Hey, yeah!
JONES
And you didn't even really fight
that Wendigo!
JEAN
Woah, are we really suddenly just turning on me?
JEN
Yes.
55.
JONES
That's really easy to do.
JEAN
I- I know all of your deepest
darkest secrets!
Carol stands up.
CAROL
If you read our minds, Jean, I will throw you to space.
Jean looks from side to side.
JEAN
Carol's a bottom!
Carol throws up her fists.
CAROL
What did I-
JANE/JEN/JEAN/SUSAN/KITTY/JONES
We know.
CAROL
Wh-what? I'm not a, uh, uh, a
bottom! I'm- I'm Captain Marvel!
JONES
Sorry, "Cap", but it's super
obvious.
CAROL
Really?
JANE/JEN/JEAN/SUSAN/KITTY/JONES
Yes.
CAROL
Ugh.
She sits back down and Jess puts an arm around her.
DREW
Aw, it's okay, baby.
Carol grumbles uninteligently.
CAROL
Can we just talk about literally anything else please?
There's an awkward pause.
JEN
So. . . Are we gonna come back here next year?
56.
SUSAN
Yes.
Everyone looks at her.
SUSAN
I mean, we have to, right? I- I'm gonna miss you guys a lot.
They all nod.
JEAN
Me too.
There's a pause.
JEN
Anyway, enough with this mushy-gushy stuff, it's time for s'mores.
JONES
I would actually call marshmallow's "mushy-gushy stuff."
JEN
JJ, I'm gonna punch you.
JONES
Bring it.
Jen hesitates before grabbing a bag of marshmallows and passing it around.
JONES
That's what I thought.
CUT TO:
INT. TENT- NIGHT
Carol and Jess are changing into pajamas.
CAROL
Is it really so obvious that I'm a bottom?
DREW
It's so obvious, Carol.
CAROL
Ugh.
There's a knock on the tent.
KITTY
Hello?
57.
DREW
Kitty?
KITTY
You guys decent?
CAROL
Yes.
Kitty walks through the wall.
CAROL
Jesus!
DREW
I will never get used to that.
KITTY
Can I talk to you guys about
something important?
DREW
Of course.
Kitty sits down.
CAROL
What's up?
Kitty takes a deep breath.
KITTY
How. . . Did you guys realize you were gay?
CAROL
I like girls.
Jess elbows her.
DREW
That's not helpful. Kitty, are you.
. . Thinking you might be gay?
Kitty nods. Jess takes her hand.
DREW
I dunno how to tell you this, but if you think you might be gay. . . You're gay.
CAROL
What makes you think that?
Kitty shrugs.
KITTY
I. . . Like girls.
58.
Drew grins.
DREW
Sis, you're gay.
Kitty takes a deep breath.
KITTY
Well, I guess I already knew that. Thanks for helping me confront it, though. Now, I've got to. . . Go talk to somebody.
DREW
Ooo, you like a specific girl?
KITTY
Y-yeah.
DREW
You gonna spill?
KITTY
I'd rather not yet. She's magic, though, I really hope she feels the same way.
CAROL
Well, you won't find out 'til you ask her.
Kitty nods.
KITTY
Right. I'm gonna go do that.
DREW
Wait, this is a girl that's here?
KITTY
No?
CAROL
Y'know we're still in the Radio
Quiet Zone, right?
KITTY
Shit. Then I'm gonna go talk to
Jean. Thank you guys so much.
Kitty phases out of the wall.
CAROL
That was-
DREW
Oh my God, that was awesome!
59.
CAROL
I mean, yeah-
DREW
She came to us!
CAROL
Huh?
DREW
Carol, we're like the go-to lesbians when you need gay help!
CAROL
I mean, how many other lesbians do you know at Midtown?
DREW
I dunno, like six?
CAROL
Six? Who?
DREW
Uh, Chavez, Lisa, Heather Douglas,
Kitty obviously-
CAROL
-Kitty doesn't go to Midtown.
DREW
Whatever, and then I'm pretty sure Donald Blake's sister has a girlfriend, so that's two.
CAROL
Okay, I guess that's more than I knew of.
DREW
But we're at the top. We're the
arbiters of the lesbians.
Carol grins.
CAROL
You're such a dork.
They kiss.
CAROL
Is it me, or is it god damn
freezing in here?
DREW
I dunno, but it isn't freezing in this here sleeping bag.
60.
Carol rolls her eyes and crawls into the sleeping bag with Drew.
CAROL
Don't have to tell me twice.
As soon as Carol is in the sleeping bag, Jess hugs her tight.
CAROL
Woah! Okay!
Jess slacks off.
DREW
Oh, sorry.
CAROL
No, no, no, no, no, come back!
Jess hugs her again.
CAROL
I was just pleasantly surprised.
DREW
I'm just. . . Worried.
CAROL
Why?
DREW
In like two months we're gonna be going off seperate ways. I dunno what I'm gonna do without you.
CAROL
What? Jess, did you you forget that I can fly? I can come see you all the time!
DREW
I know, but for the past four years, I've basically seen you every single day. And now I won't.
CAROL
Yes you will.
DREW
Huh?
CAROL
Jess, I will visit you every single day. I promise.
Jess smiles and tears up a bit.
61.
DREW
Good.
Carol kisses her.
CAROL
And then after college and flight school and whatever, we'll move in together.
Jess's eyes widen
DREW
Oh my God.
CAROL
What?
DREW
We're gonna. . . I'm gonna be your wife!
CAROL
Yeah! I mean, if you want.
DREW
I do. I very much do want.
Carol grins and kisses her.
CAROL
Wait, was that a proposal?
DREW
It better not be! You're gonna have to do better than that!
CAROL
So, have we decided I'm gonna be the one to propose?
Jess's eyes narrow.
DREW
No. It'll be a competition.
Carol snickers.
CAROL
You're on.
Carol kisses her, and they hold each other tight as they drift off to sleep.

INT. RESTAURANT- EVENING
It's two months later and the girls are getting together one last time before they go off to college, this time joined by Illyana Rasputin, who's Kitty's plus one. They gang recently just finished dinner and are just sort of hanging out.
SUSAN
Do you remember that time a few years back when Spidey was out of town and we had to take care of the Sinister Six?
JEAN
Oh my God, yes!
JEN
It took us, what, like five
minutes?
DREW
They were absolutely no match for us.
CAROL
Oh my God, that-that-that Vulture guy? All he can do is fly! And he's a frail old man! I can fly and shoot lasers and bench a million pounds!
JEN
Dude, Kraven the Hunter has no
powers. Piece of cake.
JEAN
Yeah, no disrespect to Pete, but we're way better at his job than he is.
CAROL
To be fair, there were six of us
and only one of him.
ILLIYANA
Spider-Man's name is Pete?
JEAN
Shit.
DREW
Uh, maybe just forget you heard
that?
ILLIYANA
My lips are zipped.
JEAN
Thank you.
63.
ILLIYANA
Wait, do any of you guys have
secret identities?
JANE
I do.
Illiyana looks at her, confused.
JANE
S-sorry, it was a joke.
ILLIYANA
Oh, y-yeah, sorry.
DREW
Seriously, though, I do have a
secret identity.
ILLIYANA
Gotcha, I'll remember that one.
CAROL
I'm honestly not sure of my
identity status.
DREW
Babe, you don't wear a mask.
CAROL
Oh, right.
DREW
Hey, y'all remember that time we fought the Wrecking Crew?
SUSAN
I don't.
CAROL
It was just me, Jess, and Jess.
DREW
Aw, we kicked their asses.
JONES
Yeah, Wrecker called you the 'D' word and Carol punched him into space.
CAROL
Hell yeah, I did! No one
disrespects my girl!
DREW
In that moment, you almost seemed like you could be a top.
Carol lights up.
64.
CAROL
Really?
DREW
Ha, obviously not.
ILLIYANA
What's the 'D' word?
CAROL
Dyke.
ILLIYANA
Oh.
DREW
Ya might wanna get used to that
one, hun.
ILLIYANA
W-what? Why?
DREW
Are. . . Are you not-?
JEAN
Illiyana, are you not gay?
ILLIYANA
W-what? No!
DREW
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry for assuming.
ILLIYANA
It's okay.
There's a bit of a pause. Kitty is red.
SUSAN
Uh, guys remember that time we
fought the Serpent Society?
JEN
Holy shit, those guys are so lame!
Suddenly, they feel a massive tremor beneath them.
KITTY
Uh, you guys feel that?
Suddenly, a massive explosion is heard outside.
JONES
Uuugh, what now?
Susan touches the wall and turns it invisible. Out on the street is none other than Giganto crawling out of a massive hole in the street.
65.
DREW
Oh, shit.
CAROL
Suit up?
CUT TO:
EXT. DOWNTOWN NY- EVENING
The girls exit the restaurant in costume. They're about 50 yards away from Giganto.
JEN
Sue, you fought this guy before,
right?
SUSAN
Yeah.
DREW
How'd you beat him?
SUSAN
Pretty sure we went to his island and beat up his boss underground.
JONES
Boss?
SUSAN
Ugh. Moleman.
CAROL
Well, what do ya say we just kick this guys ass? For old times sake?
The heroes all charge at Giganto. Carol flies up towards his face at the same time Spider-Man swings down from a rooftop.
PETE
Fancy seein' you here, Carol.
CAROL
Pe- Spidey? How did you get here so
fast?
PETE
This is kinda all I do. What about you?
CAROL
We were in the neighborhood.
Pete and Carol both uppercut Giganto at the same time, causing him to let out a pained roar.
66.
CAROL
Spidey, I'm sure we can handle this ourselves.
PETE
Oh, man, I'm certain you could, but
I can't let you have all the fun.
Giganto grabs Pete in his huge fist.
PETE
Oop!
Giganto starts to slam Spidey into the ground.
PETE
I'm loving thiiiis!
Jen quickly runs under Giganto's fist and stops him from slamming Pete into the ground.
PETE
Woah, J- She Hulk? Man, you've got all the pros!
JEN
Urgh. Hiya Pete. This guys. . .
Tougher than he looks.
PETE
Really? 'Cause he looks-
Giganto pulls up and tosses Pete into the air.
PETE
Reeeeaaaalllyyyy tooooouuuuggghhh!
Illiyana teleports into the sky and grabs Pete.
ILLIYANA
Hi! I'm Magik!
PETE
Yeah, you are.
ILLIYANA
That's my name.
PETE
Oh. Hi, Magik, I'm Spider-Man.
Illiyana teleports down to the gound and sets him down.
ILLIYANA
I know you're name's Peter.
PETE
Wh-
67.
Illiyana teleports away.
SUSAN
Hey, Pete!
Sue creates a force field over a car that Giganto was about to crush.
PETE
You gotta stop telling people my
name!
Pete swings past some pedestrians, pulling them right out of harm's way.
PETE
You folks didn't hear that, did
you?
The pedestrians are too scared to respond. He sets them down and rushes back into the fray. Jean Grey lifts up a car and smashes it onto Giganto's face.
SUSAN
Wh- Jean! I just saved that car!
JEAN
I'm sure it was insured.
Giganto starts to bring his fist down right on to Kitty.
ILLIYANA
Kitty!
Illiyana teleports to Kitty, picks her up, and teleports away.
ILLIYANA
Are you okay?
KITTY
What? Of course! Illiyana, did you forget I have super powers? That thing wouldn't have touched me.
Illiyana stares at her for a moment.
CUT TO:
INT. X MANSION- NIGHT
It's two months previously. Illiyana is sitting in bed reading a book (somethin' about sorcerer, I dunno, tbh I don't know much about her) when there's a knock at the door.
ILLIYANA
Yeah?
68.
KITTY
Hey, it's Kitty. Can I come in.
ILLIYANA
Duh!
Kitty enters, shuts the door behind her, and sits down on the bed.
ILLIYANA
How was your trip?
KITTY
It was fun.
ILLIYANA
Just fun?
Kitty nods.
ILLIYANA
You. . . Have something you want to tell me?
Kitty nods.
ILLIYANA
Which is?
KITTY
So. . . Ana, I'm gay.
Illiyana's eyes widen.
ILLIYANA
Oh. Oh my gosh, Kitty! T-thank you for telling me. It doesn't matter at all, you're still my best friend.
Kitty smiles weakly.
KITTY
Thanks.
ILLIYANA
That's. . . Not all, is it?
Kitty shakes her head. Illiyana puts a hand on Kitty's shoulder.
ILLIYANA
Kitty, what's up?
KITTY
I'm in love with you.
ILLIYANA
Oh.
69.
There's a pause.
ILLIYANA
Kitty. . . Kitty, I'm sorry, you're my best friend in the world, but. . . I'm not gay.
Kitty nods.
KITTY
It's okay. I'm. . . I'm sorry if I made things weird.
Illiyana smiles weakly.
ILLIYANA
I mean, yeah, but you're still my best friend. Right?
Kitty nods agressively.
KITTY
Right!
Illiyana pulls her into a hug. Kitty hugs her back, but pulls away pretty quickly and stands up.
KITTY
I'm. . . I'm gonna go.
ILLIYANA
Oh, okay.
Kitty leaves the room and shuts the door. Illiyana stares at the door for a while after she leaves. She slouches back down in her bed and tries to get back to reading her book.
CUT TO:
EXT. DOWNTOWN NY- EVENING
We're back to the Giganto fight. Illiyana is still holding Kitty.
KITTY
Ana?
Illiyana leans in and kisses Kitty. Spider Woman spots them while she's gliding by, carrying Jessica Jones into Giganto.
JONES
Ooo!
DREW
We got one!
Kitty and Illiyana turn red while Drew throws Jones at Giganto. She punches him in the chest.
70.
KITTY
Wh-what was that for?
ILLIYANA
I'm so sorry I didn't do it sooner.
She Hulk suddenly steps in and blocks Giganto's fist from slamming into them.
JEN
This is startin' to become a hobby!
Jean telekenetically makes Giganto punch himself.
JEAN
If you two are done staring into
each other's eyes, we could use
your help!
ILLIYANA
Right! Sorry!
KITTY
I'm not.
Carol flies by.
CAROL
Jean! Sue! Help me push 'im down!
Sue stands on a forcefield, Jean levitates, and Carol with Jess hanging off of her flies just above Giganto. They start pushing him down with a forcefield, telekenisis, energy blasts, and venom blasts respectively.
JEAN
We've. . . Almost. . . Got him!
SUSAN
It's not enough!
ILLIYANA
I can help!
She kisses Kitty again.
ILLIYANA
I'll be right back.
Illiyana teleports up next to Sue and starts helping push Giganto down with her magic. With the added push, Giganto gets pushed beneath the surface once again. Sue caps the hole off with a force field. Giganto punches the force field several times, but eventually relents, and crawls back down into the earth.
SUSAN
Thanks, Illiyana.
71.
ILLIYANA
No problem.
The five of them land back on the swings down next to them. Kitty rushes up to Illiyana and kisses her.
PETE
Hello.
CAROL
Woah, weren't you "not gay", like, ten minutes ago?
ILLIYANA
Time flies.
DREW
I hear that.
The team looks around at the wreckage around them. Civilians are starting to come out of the woodwork to survey the destruction.
PETE
Not to saddle you guys with this mess, but, uh, I gotta take off. I've got. . . An anonymous family thing.
CAROL
S'cool. Thanks for your help,
Spider-Man.
Pete salutes her.
PETE
Captain. The rest.
He takes off.
SUSAN
For our last outing. . . We
probably could've done better.
JONES
Uh, did you forget about the giant monster that was just here?
SUSAN
I know, I know.
JEN
At least we saved all the people, which is really what matters.
KITTY
Yeah, I see this as an absolute
win.
72.
JEAN
Of course you do.
Illiyana grins.
DREW
Guys, I know we just ate, but-
JEN
Oh my God, I am so hungry!
DREW
Right!?
JONES
Oh my God, there's this amazing
Schwarma joint around the corner.
CAROL
What's Schwarma?
JONES
That's it, we're going.
Jones leads the way and the other girls follow. Kitty and Illiyana stay behind for a moment. Illiyana reaches her hand out to Kitty.
ILLIYANA
So, what do you say? First date.
Kitty grins and takes her hand.
KITTY
I would love that.
CUT TO:
EXT. UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND- DAY
Jessica Jones, Jessica Drew, and Carol Danvers are walking down a stretch of sidewalk on the U of M campus on a nice day in mid-late August.
CAROL
Sooo, first day of classes
tomorrow, are you guys excited?
DREW
Yeah!
JONES
No.
CAROL
Aw, why not JJ?
73.
JONES
I was kinda hopin' to be done with school after high school.
CAROL
Then why're you even here?
JONES
I dunno, it's important, and Luke thought it was a good idea.
CAROL
Oh, so you're just here 'cause your man told you to?
JONES
What? No! He just-
CAROL
JJ, I'm messin' with you!
Jones grumbles. Carol looks up at a large clock tower.
CAROL
Oh, guys, I gotta get to Tyndall.
JONES
Aw, damn.
Drew and Carol look at Jones.
JONES
Oh, right.
Jones hugs Carol.
JONES
See you soon.
She walks off. Drew quickly pulls Carol into a hug.
DREW
I changed my mind. Don't go.
CAROL
Jess, I gotta go.
DREW
Then. . . I'll come with you!
CAROL
You've got important stuff to do here.
DREW
Not more important than you!
CAROL
Hey,
74.
Carol kisses her.
CAROL
It's okay. I'll visit you every
single day.
DREW
I know, but it won't be the same.
You're gonna be so far away.
CAROL
Jess, I'll see you every day! What are you worried about?
DREW
I don't know. I guess I'm you're gonna jet off to Florida and forget all about little old Jessica Drew back in Maryland.
CAROL
Jess, I could never forget about you.
DREW
Okay.
CAROL
Listen, Jess, I know being so far away is gonna suck, it's gonna suck a whole lot, but I know we're gonna be just fine, because I really, really love you.
DREW
Okay, but there's gonna be all sorts of cool people in Florida. What if you find someone you love more than me?
CAROL
Jess, there's no one on Earth who's cooler than you. I could never love anyone more.
DREW
How do you know if you haven't met them yet?
CAROL
I just do.
Carol hugs Jess.
DREW
I love you.
CAROL
I know.
75.
DREW
Oh my God, shut up, you dork.
Jess hugs her back.
CAROL
I love you too.
CUT TO:
INT. JESSICA AND JESSICA'S DORM- EVENING
It's six months later. For several months, Carol made do on her promise to visit Jess every single day, but slowly, she began visiting less and less. Now, Jess is sitting on her bed, in an empty dorm room. It's been two weeks since she last saw Carol. Suddenly, she hears a knock at the window and turns to see Carol hovering just outside. She starts to tear up as she rushes to open the window. Carol flies in.
CAROL
He-
Jess hugs her tight.
CAROL
Oh, hey! I missed you two.
DREW
Where the hell have you been?
CAROL
I'm so sorry, I-
DREW
Carol, I haven't seen you in two weeks, you've barely talked to me.
CAROL
I know, I'm so sorry, I've been so busy.
Drew falls down onto the bed.
DREW
Every day.
Carol sits down next to her.
DREW
You promised you'd visit me every day.
CAROL
I know, I messed-
DREW
I get that, okay, that's unrealistic, but, Carol, two weeks?
76.
CAROL
I know. I'm sorry.
Drew clenches her fists.
DREW
Ugh! I'm so mad at you but I also wanna kiss you so bad it's not fair.
CAROL
Jess, I'm really, really sorry I haven't come to see you. I'm even more sorry I didn't keep in as close contact as I should have. We've just been so busy back on the base, and-
Jess pulls her into a hug.
DREW
Can you stay here tonight?
CAROL
Oh. . . Jess, I don't think-
DREW
Okay, Carol I don't want to go off on you, but you haven't talked to me in two weeks and I really, really needed you. I need you now.
Carol hesitates.
CAROL
Okay. I'm sorry. I'll stay here.
Jess leans her head on Carol.
DREW
Thank you.
Carol hugs her back.
CAROL
I'm sorry, I've been such a shitty girlfriend.
DREW
Yeah, you have been. You ready to make it up to me?
CAROL
Yes.
TIME CUT:
It's several hours later when Jess enters the dorm. Carol and Jess are cuddlin' in bed watching a movie.
77.
JONES
Hey, Carol! Long time no see!
CAROL
Hey, JJ.
Jones plops down on her bed and starts watching the movie with them. It's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
JONES
Drew, haven't you seen this movie about a million times?
DREW
Yeah, I love it.
CAROL
There's a lot of hot girls in it.
DREW
Oh my God, Envy Adams is such a
babe!
CAROL
Eh.
DREW
Pfft, what do you know.
Jones yawns and stretches. She rolls over in bed.
JONES
I'm turnin' in, so if y'all are gonna do anything, keep it down.
DREW
Oh, shut up.
After a few minutes, they turn the TV off and slowly fall asleep with their arms around eachother.
CUT TO:
INT. TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE BARRACKS- PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA-MORNING
Carol's roommate, Michelle Rossi, is in their dorm (is that what you'd call it? I clearly know shit about the military) looking very nervous when Carol lands through the window.
MICHELLE
Carol! Where have you been! I covered for you. Oh! Were you out fighting some super villains? Was it the Skrull?
CAROL
What? Oh, no, nothing like that, I was just. . . Visiting someone.
78.
MICHELLE
Someone? Who? A friend?
CAROL
No, not exactly.
MICHELLE
Who? Oh my gosh, a boyfriend?
Carol, do you have a boyfriend?
CAROL
Y'know, Michelle, you really ask a lot of questions.
MICHELLE
Sorry.
CAROL
No. I don't have a boyfriend.
MICHELLE
A guy you like?
CAROL
I was visiting my girlfriend last night, Michelle.
Michelle's eyes widen. She grabs Carol's hands.
MICHELLE
Oh my God, Carol, you have to tell me all about her!
Carol grins.
MICHELLE
What's her name.
CAROL
Jessica. Jessica Drew.
MICHELLE
Where's she live?
CAROL
She goes to school in Maryland,
she's studying criminology.
MICHELLE
Maryland? You flew to Maryland last night?
Carol nods.
CAROL
That's usually where I jet off to all the time.
79.
MICHELLE
Damn, that's far. Anyway, what's
Jessica like?
CAROL
Oh my God, Michelle, she's so incredible. She's sweet, and funny, and hot, and she puts up with all of my bullshit, and. . . she loves me. Jeez, I just love her so, so much.
Michelle grins.
MICHELLE
That's so sweet.
CAROL
I miss her so much.
MICHELLE
Didn't you see her, like, a few
hours ago?
CAROL
Like a half an hour.
MICHELLE
Wow, you're fast. And whipped.
CAROL
I kinda fucked up, Michelle. Before last night, I hadn't visited in 2 weeks.
MICHELLE
I mean, you can hardly be blamed for not making it to Maryland in two weeks.
CAROL
I can when I can fly to Maryland in 30 minutes whenever I want!
MICHELLE
Then why didn't you?
CAROL
I don't know. I guess I just got so caught up in my life here. I didn't. . . I wasn't thinking of her. I assmumed she'd be okay without me, but she wasn't. God, I wish she wasn't so far away, I just wanna be with her. Oh, Michelle, sorry I'm ranting.
80.
MICHELLE
No, it's okay. But, y'know, most colleges only require freshmen to stay on campus. Next year the two of you could always just get an apartment together and you can fly here in the mornings.
Carol's eyes widern.
CAROL
How long 'til we start maneuvers today?
MICHELLE
Well, breakfast is in like 15
minutes, why?
Carol braces herself.
CAROL
Looks like I'm skippin' it.
She takes off out the window.

INT. JESSICA AND JESSICA'S DORM- MORNING
Just as Jess (D.) is leaving the room, Carol slams into the window. Jess, confused, walks back to the window and lets her in.

Carol kisses her.
DREW
Oh.
CAROL
Michelle just gave me a fantastic idea.
DREW
What?
CAROL
Are you required to live in campus next year?
DREW
No?
Carol grabs her hands.
81.
CAROL
Jessica Drew, will you live with me next year?
Jess's eyes light up.
DREW
Oh my God, yes?
Carol grins and kisses her.
DREW
Wait, you're still gonna be in
training, are you gonna fly to
Florida every morning?
CAROL
Yes.
DREW
Why?
CAROL
For you, dummy!
Drew beams and kisses her.
DREW
I love you, Danvers.
CAROL
I love you, Drew.

EXT. ROAD- DAY
The girls are back on the road again on their way to West Virginia, this time joined again by Illiyana Rasputin. To accomodate for the new addition, Drew is sitting on Carol's lap.

ILLIYANA
Sorry.
JANE
Don't apoligize! More friends isn't a bad thing.
JEN
Plus we've always got more laps to go around.

Illiyana rolls her eyes.
ILLIYANA
I know.
JONES
This trip is getting too gay.
DREW
You can never be too gay.
CAROL
Plus, y'all still out number us.

Bleep bloop, add more shit here.

Thanks for helping us move, Jess.
JONES
Yeah, well, y'know how much I love moving.
CAROL
We didn't even ask you.
DREW
Yeah, dude, you vollunteered.
Jones turns red.

Yeah, whell, maybe I just wanted to be here for this important moment in your relationship.
DREW/ CAROL
Awwww!

JONES
Stoooopppp!
They don't.
DREW
We love you, Jess!
Jones reluctantly hugs them back.
JONES

I love you guys too.

It's later that night in the apartment. Jessica, Jessica and Carol have just finished unboxing everything and they plop down on the couch.
JONES
I hate moving.
CAROL
But you gotta admit, place looks
pretty nice.
Drew puts her arm around Carol.
DREW
It's home.
CAROL
Oh man, that's cheesy. It is,
