Children of the Knight

Episode 6

Finale



(Scene opens at Meggo's house. Shaun and Jessi are already upstairs talking.)

Shaun: I'm glad you cam today Jessi. I've missed you.

Jessi: Aww, I've missed you too Shaun.

Shaun: I just want to let you know that Damien and I have talked and we're ok now. And I want you to know that you're beautiful and I…..love you!

Jessi: Oh Shaun! ( Jessi leans over and kisses him (think about this people)) I love you too.

(Scene switches to Tony and Eric in Eric's bedroom. Eric is pissed and has his back towards Tony.)

Tony: Eric, I'm sorry. Come here. (When Eric doesn't move, Tony goes over to him and puts his hands on his shoulders.) Just listen to me a sec. You showed me something in myself that I didn't know was there. It scared me. So I went off with Ellen, just to see. And you know what I realized? (Turns Eric around to face him.) I like you. (Tony leans forward and kisses Eric. They start making out again and eventually consummate their new relationship.)

(Scene switch to band practice.)

Mr. B: C'mon people, let's get up and get to work. It's States Day. Now, due to the unfortunate disappearance of Keith; Rogala, you will take over his solo and trumpet calls. We'll practice that all today. Now c'mon lets' get moving.

(Whole band runs into their sets.)

Kathy: (To Aimee who's kinda depressed.) Don't worry. I'm sure someone will find out something soon enough.

Aimee: I hope you're right. (Turns.) He Emily, when are you due again?

Emily: Oh, in about two weeks.

Aimee: Wow. That's so great.

Kathy: Yeah it is. We want picttures of her then.

Emily: Of course.

Mr. B: PIT!!!!! Stop screwing around and get to work! (Pit scrambles to get in place. Meanwhile across the field Amanda and Matt are talking.)

Amanda: He Matt, do you still like Ellen?

Matt: Of course.

Amanda: Well then maybe you should know that Tony was screwing her last night.

Matt: (Matt actually almost falls over in formation.) What? How do you know that?

Amanda: She just told me. She seems very open as of late. Apparently in more ways than one.

(Matt is silent.)

Mr. B: Ok guys. Let's do a run through and call it quits then.

(We do a next to perfect run through and start packing up for Allentown. While loading crew is still packing, Matt coaxes Tony to follow him behind the bleachers where he stabs Tony to death with his trumpet. Tony barely has time to make a sound before he dies, so no one hears this. But Eric had been keeping his eye on Tony all day and had followed them, so he had seen it all.)

Eric: (To himself.) He killed Tony…what should I do? I can't tell anyone now. I'm gonna have to wait till after our performance.

(Scene switches to States right before we go on.)

Emily: Kathy, I think I'm starting to get contractions!

Kathy: What? We're just about to go on! Can you still play?

Emily: I think I can…Oh gosh…here we go!

(We run onto the field and set up. We do the kaytans perfectly as the band marches on. We end up pulling off a perfect show so far through Zorro and Symphonic. Matt then plays the solo with so much expression, there isn't a dry seat in the stadium. Then though, after the gates, Courtiney is running back to the vibes when she trips on the chimes, grabs onto them to catch her balance thereby making them fall over and crush her to death. No one notices yet. We finish the show and get a complete standing ovation. We start to pull the stuff off the field except for Court, who is being scraped off the field by some judges.)

Emily: Guys…

Aimee: Emily! Your water broke! Kathy, we have to get her somewhere where she can have this baby!

(A band aide rushes over and helps us get her onto a bus.)

Kathy: Ok Em. Now breathe, breathe.

Aimee: Ahhh, she's crushing my hand!

Emily: Oh shut up would you?

Kathy: Just keep breathing. Now push, push…

(Soon there is a fine baby girl being cradled in it's mother's arms.)

Aimee: Hey Em. We won first place, we had a score of 100!

Em: Wow, tonight was a good night. Two miracles at once!

Kathy: Yeah.

(Meanwhile, right after the show, Eric went and found a cop and told him about Matt. The cop got back up and went and arrested Matt under two counts of murder in the first degree. Mr. B gathers the band together. While waiting for him to start, Kathy goes over to Eric.)

Kathy: (whispered) Good work my disciple, your master is proud of you.

Eric: What? Your master? (Bows down.) Thank you.

Kathy: Don't worry about it. Get up, B's about to begin.

Mr. B: Tonight we have great joy and great sadness. Obviously the joy is because we won. But tonight is sad too. Matt Rogala has just been arrested for killing Tony Deininger (Mandy gasps) and Keith Yoder (Aimee faints). It looks line an open and shut case so I doubt any of you will see him again. But hey, shit happens. Let's celebrate cause WE BEAT MANHEIM!!!

(Scene closes - finally, damn.)
