"So, Zidane, are you gonna tell us another spooky story?!"
ZIDANE
"Heh, you don't even need to ask, Eiko!"
DAGGER
"Go for it, Zidane!"
ZIDANE
"Alright. Listen up, and listen good. Cause my first story tonight is SO scary, that you'll need to be immune to fear to hear it."

"I still can't believe we beat those evil goblins and escaped with our lives."
ZIDANE
"Oh, it was worth it to get back our Oglop Cereal!"
Zidane holds up a box and pours some of its contents into a breakfast bowl.
ZIDANE
(Singing)
"Oglop Cereal, those crunchy, grainy oats of wheat! I love to eat them, cause they're so sweet!"

"You mean; you killed Freya Crescent!"
Steiner pokes her body with his sword.
STEINER
"She's dead, alright."
DAGGER
(Panicing)
"What are we gonna do?!"
STEINER
"We must hide the body so that no one will ever find it ever again."
EIKO
"Isn't that a little wrong?"
VIVI
"I'd say VERY wrong!"
STEINER
"We cannot allow the princess to suffer because of this terrible accident. We have to protect her."
ZIDANE
"Don't worry! You just let old Zidane handle this!"
DAGGER
"No, Zidane, it's my problem, so-"

"I said I'll handle it!"
Dagger and Steiner shrug.

"Freya, darling! What are you doing up there?"
ZIDANE
(Impersonating Freya)
"Oh, I'm just helping my dear friend; Zidane. We're cleaning the chimney together."
FRATLEY
"Well, come on down, you silly woman. It's too windy to be out tonight."
ZIDANE
(Impersonating Freya)
"I'm coming!"
Fratley walks back into the house.
ZIDANE
(Impersonating Freya)
"Oh, it sure is slippery up here!"

"Dang! He missed it!"

ZIDANE
"When I think about Freya, I can't help but remember the look on her face when Dagger hit her with the-"
DAGGER (O.S)
(Interrupting)
"Shh! Shh!"
ZIDANE
"Oh, I mean, Freya Crescent was a brilliant person. She loved her dear Fratley, and she never stopped talking about him. Just like the relationship I have with Dagger; they had a partnership that was based on pure love."
KING OF BURMECIA
"Thank you, Zidane. That was beautiful."
ZIDANE
"Don't mention it, Your Majesty. I'd do anything for Dagger."

"No, Zidane! We can't go off killing our friends and family! It's just not right!"

"Aw, but you got to kill Freya!"
DAGGER
"That was an accident!"
ZIDANE
"Says you!"
EXT. ALEXANDRIA CASTLE - DAY
Zidane, Steiner, Dagger, Vivi and Freya all walk towards the castle.
ZIDANE
"Well, I'm gonna take a bath. Wanna join me, Dagger?"

"I suppose it couldn't hurt. Today has been very trying on us all."
They stop dead in their tracks when they reach the castle doors. Someone has written, "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID" all over them.
DAGGER
(Gasp)
"Someone saw us!"
STEINER
"But who?!"
They all turn around to see GENERAL BEATRIX, PUCK AND RUBY.
ZIDANE
"Look, I know what you're all thinking, but Dagger didn't kill Freya, alright?"

Steiner walks back into the dinning room.
INT. DINNING ROOM - EVENING
Zidane, Dagger, Vivi and Eiko are all staring around the room at the walls and at the ceiling. Steiner walks in.
STEINER
"What happened? What are you staring-"
Steiner's jaw drops. The message "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID" is written everywhere inside the room.

(Gasp)
"Look! That creepy freak from the castle is gaining on us!"
ZIDANE
(Panicing)
"Okay, Dagger, you go hide in the forest. Steiner, take Eiko and Vivi to the edge of the earth, and I'll go hide in the moat where those teenage girls mysteriously disappeared last August. Now, Freya, you can-"
Everyone screams as they see Freya is standing beside them.
DAGGER
"Freya?! B-But you're dead?!"
FREYA
"Haha! You can't kill the undead, silly!"
EIKO
"Are you a zombie?"
FREYA
"Oh, I wish! No, it all started just last night..."
EXT. WORLD MAP - FLASHBACK
Freya is running through the country towards Burmecia.
FREYA (V.O)
"...I was on my way back home from Lindblum."
FREYA
"I'm almost home. I've missed Burmecia so much."
Suddenly, a bandersnatch jumps out of nowhere, pushes Freya into the bushes and attacks her.
FREYA (O.S)
"Ow, get off me! Yeow, you ripped my pants!"
Freya crawls out from the bushes. Her clothes are ripped and she is bleeding. She then turns into a wolf-like creature, and growls.
ZIDANE (O.S)
(Singing)
"Oglop Cereal, those crunchy, grainy oats of wheat! I love to eat them, cause they're so sweet!"

The party are very impressed.
ZIDANE
"So, we killed you, and now you're a werewolf?"
FREYA
"Well, I'm more of a wererat..."
They all laugh. The moon comes out and Freya begins to transform.
ZIDANE
(Indicating Freya)
"Hey, look! Isn't that cool?!"
EIKO
"Ew! Gruesome!"
Freya has now completely transformed. She has many wolf-like features, and huge teeth. She snarls at the party, and some foam from her mouth hits Zidane.
ZIDANE
"Hey, I want the news, not the weather, wolfie!"
Zidane laughs.
ZIDANE
"Hey, Dagger, did you see me talk back at Wererat Freya?"
Zidane turns around to see Dagger, Steiner, Vivi and Eiko all running away into the distance.
ZIDANE
"Oh, crap!"
Zidane runs off too, but Freya gives chase. She leaps upon him and starts to tear him apart.
ZIDANE
"Ow! Ow, ow, ow! Heh-heh, eyes bigger than your belly, huh, Freya? Ow!"
