(Stella wakes up)
Stella: (looks at clock. Then at calendar. Then back to clock. Then at calendar again.) How long was I out?
Charles: (entering) About four months...I would have woken you but you just looked so peaceful...
Stella: (hyperness begins to kick in) I feel strange...
Charles: Uh-oh.
Stella: OMG-hyperness-yay-I-feel-really-happy!
Charles: (nervously) That's...good...I think...
Stella: Me-bounce off-WALLS! (runs crazily around the room, boucing off the walls)
Charles: C'mon Stella...goooood Stella...(leads her downstairs to the door. Opens the door.) Aaaannndd...out you
go!
(Stella runs out the door at high speed, squealing excitedly. She eventually arrives in LaShove, on Pacman's doorstep)
Stella: PACMAN! My wolf-some friend! You're ma wolfy! I-wanna-pet-puppy! Make a puppy for me, Pacman!
Please-please-please-please!
Pacman: Stella...how did you get here?
Stella: I ran.
Pacman: (confused) Umm...but you're human...
Stella: SUPER-HYPERACTIVE-ENERGY-RUSH!
Pacman: Who gave you sugar?
Stella: (childishly) Wasn't sugar.
Pacman: What was it then?
Stella: Not telling... (throws a stick) FETCH!
Pacman: (Unimpressed) No.
Stella: Pretty please? I'll tell you why I'm so happy...
(Pacman fetches the stick)
Stella: No! drop! bad doggy!
(Pacman drops the stick)
Stella: Good doggy.
Pacman: Now tell me.
Stella: I slept a lot...
Pacman: (suspiciously) how much is a lot?
Stella: four months!
Pacman: (faints)
Stella: (Pokes) Oh well...(loads him into his own car, steals the car keys and drives to the edge of a cliff. Sits
Pacman on the edge, legs dangling) Inception says this should wake him up...
Pacman: Wait, what? (gets shoved off the edge) Aaaaarrrggghhh!
Stella: Yup, that worked! He looks pretty mad though (gets distracted – sees QV's sunlight- sparkles in the water)
Ooooh...pwetty... (dives after the sparkles)
(Meanwhile, in a crowded club, Big Al is having a vision)
Edmund: (Reading her mind) Noooo! My pretty Stella!
Big Al: PRETTY? PRETTY? Is that the best you can do? (realises he's gone. Has a vision of him visiting Volts. Mutters
to self) Oh god, the great idiot's gone to see Aero...(resignedly) Better go visit 4X.
(Back in 4X)
Stella: That was WICKED!
Pacman: (unamused) We could have died...
Stella: Yes, but that's how we wake up! God, Pacman, you should watch Inception again! You didn't understand
anything!
Pacman: (icily) It was just a film, Stella, grow up.
Stella: NO! You grow up!
Pacman: I can't...
Stella: I hate you. I really hate you. Go die, Pacman. (storms off)
Pacman: Was it something I said?
(Phone rings)
Edmund: (On other end of phone) Is Stella dead?
Pacman: Not sure, one sec... (covers mouthpiece of phone) STELLA? ARE YOU DEAD?
Stella: Might as well be...
Pacman: She might as well be...
Edmund: How dare you talk like that about...
Pacman: (interrupts) 1 minute (covers mouthpiece again) STELLA, ARE YOU SURE?
Stella: Yes!
Pacman: (into phone) carry on.
Edmund: ...Stella! It's disgraceful! I thought you were her friend! How could you? Hang on a minute...you never
answered my question...
Pacman: Ooooh...riiight...one minute...(covers mouthpiece) STELLA, ARE YOU DEAD?
Stella: Yes, dammit, yes, I'm dead, I'm dead to you, I know that's what you want...
Pacman: (into phone) Yes. She's dead alright. Deader than a doornail. Goodbye. (hangs up)
(Stella answers door to Big Al)
Big Al: Did you adopt a dog?
Stella: Oh, yeah, one sec... DOG! OUT! NOW! He's probably gone.
Stella: Right, let's try that again. (Closes door)
Big Al: (knocks on door) Ummm...Can I come in?
Stella: (Whispers through door) You have to ring the bell...
Big Al: (rings the doorbell)
Stella: (Opens the door) OMG! Big Al! (Hugs)
Big Al: Get off me, Stella, I need you to be serious!
Stella: What is it with everyone wanting to be serious?
Big Al: Would you like to explain to me how you're alive?
Stella: (Happily) I pushed Pacman off a cliff...
Big Al: Is he dead?
Stella: No.
Big Al: Shame.
Stella: How could you? He is my bestest, nicest, kindest, cuddliest, hottest friend EVER in the whole wide world...
Big Al: Soo...why did you push him off a cliff?
Stella: Inception...
Big Al: (decides to ignore this) And why did you jump off a cliff?
Stella: There was shinies in the water...
Big Al: Well...let's just go rescue Edmund...
Stella: What? No! I'm meant to be the damsel in distress...
Big Al: well, this time it's Edmund's turn...and I'll take you to see the pretty red-eyed vampires...
Stella: Ok! Will there be Aeros?
Big Al: Well, coincidentally...
(They drive off)
