Title: Double Whammy
Chapter: One
Chapter Title: Teaser
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters portrayed here and no profit
is being made from their use. Except Claire and her family. I own them.
Spoilers: Just up to the title for Episode 19 which will not air until
late March at least.
Authors Note: This is my first Everwood fic, and maybe I shouldn't have
done it in script format, but the way I wanted the story to be practically required
it. I would love to hear CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. I know it's short, but because
it's the teaser, it had to be. The next chapters are longer. So, let me know
what you think okay? Thanks to Chris and Nate for betaing me
Where does it go?: Season One, between Episode 18: "The Unveiling"
and Episode 19: "Moonlight Sonata."
Act One, Scenes One Through Four
(We return with a shot of the Brown's kitchen. Andy is looking getting milk out of the refrigerator. Delia comes into the kitchen and sits at the island. Andy looks up from pouring two glasses of milk.)
Andy: Good Morning Delia.
Delia: Morning.
Andy: So I was thinking about making waffles today, what do you think?
(He sets a glass of milk in front of her as Ephram joins them.)
Ephram: I'd say I'll pass.
Andy: I was actually planning on heating up the ones in the freezer and claiming I made them.
Ephram: A much better idea.
(Delia takes a sip of her milk and spits it out back into the glass. Andy and Ephram look at her.)
Andy: Something wrong?
Delia: Yeah, the milk tastes funny.
Andy: How can that be?
(He sniffs his glass as Ephram pulls out the carton of milk and looks at it. Andy takes a drink and swallows. He makes a face.)
Andy: It's spoiled.
Ephram: Probably because it's about a week past the sell date.
(Cut to The Abbott household. Harold is drinking a glass of orange juice as he walks to the bottom of the stairs.)
Harold: Bright! Amy! You'd better hurry up, you're going to be late.
Amy: I'm right here dad.
(Harold starts and turns around to find Amy standing beside him with her book bag over her shoulder.)
Harold: Amy, you startled me, where is your brother?
Amy: He hasn't been down yet.
Harold: Bright! Get down here.
(Bright appears at the top of the stairs and hurries down.)
Bright: Sorry, I couldn't find my shoes.
Amy: They were in the bathroom.
Bright: and that would have been helpful five minutes ago. Let's go. Bye Dad.
Amy: Bye Dad.
Harold: Bye, have a nice day.
(Bright and Amy leave, Harold sips his orange juice. Cut to inside the hall of an unfamiliar house. Claire's mother comes out of a doorway and walks to the end of a set of stairs.)
Claire's Mother: Claire! You'd better hurry up!
Claire: (off-screen) I'm coming.
(Claire's mother walks away and the camera follows her to the kitchen where she lifts a box onto the counter and opens it. She looks inside and smiles. She pulls out some things wrapped in newspaper.)
Claire's Mother: Finally.
(She begins unwrapping the things and we see they are plates. She begins putting them in a cupboard. She unwraps a bowl and sets it down, retrieving a box of Cheerios from a cupboard and a carton of milk from the fridge. At the kitchen island she pours the cereal into the bowl, covers it with milk and then replaces the cereal and milk. She looks back into the box and pulls out a small shoebox and opens it, inside is silverware. She picks out a spoon and puts it in the bowl just as Claire enters the kitchen.)
Claire's Mother: Hi Honey, do you want a banana sliced onto your cereal?
Claire: Yes, please.
Claire's Mother: Have a seat at the table.
(Claire's mother pulls a knife out of the shoebox and takes a banana from another area of the counter. She unwraps it and slices a few slices onto the cereal. She sets the banana and knife on the island and takes the bowl over to Claire.)
Claire's Mother: Here you go.
Claire: Thanks mom.
Claire's Mother: Now, I can give you money for lunch today, or I can make you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and you can take a lunch.
Claire: I think I'd like to buy today.
Claire's Mother: Okay, I'll put some money in a pouch and put it in your backpack.
Claire: Thanks mom.
(Cut to Nina's front porch. Andy, Delia, and Nina are all standing on it.)
Andy: Thanks for this Nina, Ephram was going to take her to get something to eat, but he would have been late.
Nina: It's no problem, Sam is just getting ready to eat and I have to take him to school anyways, it's not far.
Andy: As long as you're sure it's no inconvenience.
Nina: None whatsoever. You'd better get to work. Don't worry about Delia.
Andy: Okay, Delia, have a good day okay? I'll see you tonight.
Delia: Bye Dad.
(Andy walks off as Nina starts ushering Delia into the house.)
Nina: So Delia, do you like cereal?
Delia: Yes.
Nina: What's your favorite?
Delia: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I guess.
