Well, I'm glad at least one person liked the previous eppy ( Thanks OL.
I'm kicking myself in the butt cause I know Dana is turning out to be like
Lori and I really didn't mean for that to happen! Argh. Anyways, enjoy.

(Castle hallway; dim lighting. Candles are strung from the walls. Someone is carrying a baby [all is shown is arms holding baby and the baby]). The baby starts crying as it is passed to another person. Shouting is heard. Then screaming. Foot stomps and soldiers can be heard in the background. A woman [the one originally carrying the baby] can be heard pleading for her life. The drawing of a sword and the slicing of the woman can also be heard. The person now holding the baby runs fast until stopping. The camera shows what the person sees: A portal. The face of the person is about to be shown when everything stops.)
Voice: Help me.
Dana: (wakes up, sweating. Her eyes are bright as she is gasping for breath. Her heart pumping) It was a dream- (not convinced) Just a dream.
(Caves)
Master: (The fire pit guy) I hear you were unsuccessful with the mission last week my pet. I honestly believed you could take that pitiful excuse for a hairball.
Tonya: I underestimated him. It won't happen again.
Master: Good. Then what is your plan?
Tonya: The henchmen have observed him from afar and have determined that the best way to hurt him is emotionally, and not physically.
Master: And you can do this?
Tonya: Without breaking a sweat. Teenagers are so high-strung with feelings; I almost feel sorry for them.
Master: Indeed. Now that this matter is settled with the boy, we must concern ourselves with more pressing matters. Have you converted her?
Tonya: Not yet. But don't worry, we have an insider working for us. She should be evil in no time. Well, that, or insane.
Master: Very good. We must eliminate her, that, or draw her into the dark side. She knows valuable information. Such valuable information, that if the powers of Good obtain it, all hope for the apocalypse will be destroyed. We must strip Good of every single champion it has. Evil is weakening. I've seen it. You've seen it. I power everything evil. With my strength lessening so is the strength of every demonic thing out there. That is why this next step must not be effected. It's the turning point of our source of power. It's the only way we can bring about the end of mortal existence and the reign of hell on earth. Do you understand?
Tonya: Perfectly. Don't worry boss, it'll be like taking life from a human.
(School hallways. Tommy and Merton are at their lockers)
Tommy: Merton, have you seen Dana lately?
Merton: (Jumping) Seen her? Why would I have seen her?
Tommy: Gee Merton, I dunno. Maybe because you usually do see her? Every day. Especially since there is an apocalypse on the move.
Merton: (Changing the subject) Tommy, keep your voice down.
Tommy: Sorry. I'm just a little concerned about not seeing Dana all day. This isn't like her. Is she okay?
Merton: Umm, I guess. How should I know? I'm not the one sucking face with her. (His eyes go wide and he tenses after realizing what he just said.)
Tommy: You're right. (Merton relaxes) She's just probably busy.
(Girls' restroom. Dana and her gal pals are doing their make-up while busily chattering)
Girl 1: Tommy is such a good boy friend for you Dana.
Dana: (A little uneasy) Thanks.
Girl 2: Yeah. But what's the deal? You haven't even talked to him all day!
Dana: I know, just-
Girl 1: Oh my gosh, there's another guy?
Dana: NO! Of course not, it's just.
Girl 1: It's okay sweetie, you don't need to tell us. We understand. It's the one month lump.
Dana: One month lump?
Girl 2: You've been dating Tommy for a month now. Don't be ashamed. We all go through it. Besides, what they don't know won't hurt them.
Dana: Yeah. (Mumbles) For now.
(Lair. Merton is sitting at his computer. Dana walks in.)
Dana: Merton.
Merton: Gah! Oh, sorry, surprised me there-heh heh.
Dana: (Feeling awkward) Umm, I need to talk to you about something.
Merton: Right. Look, about the other night-
Dana: No. Not that.
Merton: Oh.
Dana: I had a dream last night. Actually, more of a nightmare. There was this baby, and these people trying to protect it. One of them was killed and the other-
Merton: What?
Dana: I don't know. It all, stopped. But then I heard this voice asking me to help it.
Merton: Interesting. It was probably a prophetic dream sequence. Those things happen, even if you can't help it.
Dana: What are we going to do?
Merton: I could look stuff up on the computer.
Dana: No, I mean about us.
Merton: (sighs) I don't know.
Dana: We need to stop. Before this gets out of control. Tommy doesn't deserve this. Even though it might be good, it can't, happen, ever, again.
Merton: Why not? It's not like Tommy has dibs on you.
Dana: Well, actually, yeah, boy friend, remember?
Merton: Not forever.
Dana: Can you hear yourself? You're talking about your best friend.
Merton: Wait, not to change the subject, but, you think I'm- good?
Dana: What?
Merton: A minute ago, you said it was, good.
Dana: Well, yeah. It was.
Merton: I knew those hours spent on my pillow wouldn't go to waist! D'I mean, heh heh.
(Both laugh a little. Tommy walks in and they stop. Merton heads to the computer.)
Tommy: Dana, there you are.
Merton: Yeah, umm, I was just telling Dana that you were looking for her.
(Tommy goes to kiss Dana on the lips, but Dana turns her head so that the smooch lands on the cheek. She then sits down on Merton's bed.)
Tommy: (A little shocked by this) Umm, what's new in the demonic department?
Merton: Nothing much. Dana had a weird prophetic dream. Might help us out a bit in dealing with the apocalypse.
Dana: (Breaking her stare) I should go see Sky-Anne. I haven't visited her since she checked into the hospital.
Merton: Don't you think we should be concentrating on the apocalypse instead of pleasing our friends?
Dana: You of all people should know that keeping friends pleased is the best thing to do right now. Besides, I am thinking about the apocalypse, Sky-Anne is a powerful wiccan, remember?
Merton: (disappointed) Fine.
Tommy: Bye- (Dana closes the door) Dana. (sighs)
(Pleasantville Mental Institution)
Dana: What do you mean I can't see her?
Nurse: Visiting hours are over.
Dana: It says 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It's barely even 5!
Nurse: I'm sorry Miss. Sky-Anne isn't feeling well.
Dana: Well, I'm sure she would still want me to visit her.
Nurse: Please. Miss, leave.
(Dana turns around to leave. The nurse sighs and goes to a room. Dana takes a laboratory coat and turns back around heading towards Sky-Anne's room. She approaches the room. Screams can be heard from inside. She peers through the cracked-open door to see the doctors trying to give Sky- Anne a "treatment" injection. As they do this, she slowly calms down. A gypsy lady walks to Sky-Anne and places her hands on Sky-Anne's head and heart, reading her)
Gypsy lady: She still knows. We mustn't waste any time.
Doctor: What should we do?
Gypsy: You fix problems right? She's the problem. Fix her.
(The doctors and the gypsy head out the door as Dana hides behind it. She then sneaks into the room.)
Dana: Sky-Anne? Are you awake?
Sky-Anne: (confused, half-awake) Dana? Is that you? Why are you here? You can't be in here. They'll get you.
Dana: Don't worry Sky-Anne, I'm gonna get you out of here.
Sky-Anne: No! Get out of here before they get you.
Dana: I'm not leaving unless you're coming with me.
Sky-Anne: You dumb blonde! You don't know whom you're dealing with.
Dana: Hey, us blondes gotta stick together. I've got to get you out of here.
(Lair, Dana helps Sky-Anne in.)
Sky-Anne: (Sitting on the bed) You should have left me there. Now they're gonna look for me.
Dana: Your welcome.
Tommy: What's up?
Dana: The mental institution made Sky-Anne even crazier.
Merton: Don't they all?
Tommy: She doesn't look crazy to me.
Sky-Anne: You bitch! Do you think you can stop them? It's already begun. Everything is falling into place, and you can't win.
Tommy: Umm, I take that back.
(Everyone looks shocked as they see Sky-Anne laughing evilly and hysterically, her eyes glazed over. Dana walks over and slaps her.)
Sky-Anne: Thanks. That's been happening ever since-
Merton: What? You ate the hospital's food?
Sky-Anne: No. Ever since I had a vision.
Tommy: Seems a lot of that's going around.
Dana: What was it like?
Sky-Anne: I don't know. I was concentrating on drawing energy from the earth, you know, to grow stronger with my spells. All of a sudden, I had this vision that these really ugly demons were opening a portal of some sort. Actually, more of a, vortex.
Merton: A vortex? Not good.
Tommy: Why? What's a vortex?
Merton: It's a portal that sucks things inside it, like wind gravity or something. Regular portals just open gates to other realms. The vortex can bring things in and out of dimensions.
Tommy: Like demons?
Merton: That, or possibly powerful energy, good or bad.
Dana: I'm guessing this one was drawing bad energy.
Sky-Anne: Exactly. After the vision, I told my counseling trainer- you know, the one who was supposed to help me with my being a better witch? Bad idea. She told the doctors and they've been shooting me up with this serum ever since.
Dana: That's probably what's been giving you the sudden urge to be possessed by an evil psycho demon thingy.
Merton: It's probably drawing out your evil side.
Sky-Anne: But I'm not evil!!!
Merton: No. But everyone had a dark side that can be dilated to where it takes over your whole nervous system.
Tommy: How do we stop it then?
Merton: Well, if these sudden outbursts are a result to the serum, they should probably go away as long as she is off the stuff. But, she could go through a withdrawal, like what alcoholics and drug addicts go through when they stop their addictions "cold turkey".
Sky-Anne: (Reassuring herself) I can take it.
Dana: But back to the vortex, what are we going to do?
Sky-Anne: I might have a solution. There is this creature that witches sometimes go to when in need of assistance.
Merton: No way! Not another Shibshu.
Sky-Anne: Not the Shibshu. It's an old powerful warlock. He can tell the future, present, and past. He won't help us with our dilemma seeing as he never takes sides- good or evil, but he does love existence and could probably tell you what you need to know.
Dana: How do we do it?
Sky-Anne: I need to do a dream spell because he dwells in the dream realm. Someone needs to travel through the dream sequence. I don't think I should, just incase I go a little haywire during the spell.
Dana: I'll do it.
Tommy: No, the Shamnians could trace you in that dimension, and we wouldn't be there to help you.
Dana: I'll be fine. As long as I get out as quickly as I can. I know how to deal with this warlock, trust me.
Sky-Anne: She should probably do it. It's much easier for a female to travel to the dream world than a male.
Merton: How do you figure?
Sky-Anne: Emotions. Men tend to be more factual when women seem to take on creativity, solutions, and hopes with ease, the things dreams are made of.
Tommy: Okay. But are there any ways to protect her just incase?
Sky-Anne: I will be in a trance as well. My spirit should be with her in her mind. Although she won't be able to see or hear me, I can protect her.
Dana: Sounds good. Let's do it.
(Dana lies on the floor. Sky-Anne has her fingertips to Dana's temples.)
Sky-Anne: Just relax. (Her voice grows softer as Dana slips away mentally) You should be there any minute.
(Dana now stands in an area where everything is bluish-gray.)
Dana: I must be in the right place. (A yellow glowing path appears at her feet) Follow the yellow brick road, so unoriginal. (The scene changes where Dana has been walking for miles.) Hello? Oh c'mon! Mr. Warlock guy? (The warlock appears)
Warlock: Warlock guy? Did your parents never teach you to respectfully address a person with their given name?
Dana: That would be nice if I knew your name.
Warlock: I have no given name. (Dana puts her hand on her hips) What? Can't take a joke? Sheesh. I weep for the future. Call me, Al.
Dana: The great and powerful warlock's name is Al?
Al: Well, it's not Dana, but it's suiting.
Dana: Wait, how'd you-
Al: Know your name? This IS your mind after all.
Dana: Right. So then you would know why I came.
Al: The vortex? What's there to know? It was opened to call forth evil energy. Nothing big.
Dana: But why?
Al: (Using air quotes) The great powerful and evil one formally known as (sarcastic) "Master" needs to suck out the evil from the vortex in order to become powerful enough to destroy the world.
Dana: How is he able to do this? Where is the All-Powerful Good?
Al: The source of all that is good cannot be one significant being like evil. (Spooky voice) It lives in you. (Goes back to regular voice) Well, technically, everyone, as well as evil. The All-Powerful-Good and Evil fight their battles inside their followers.
Dana: So that's why Evil hasn't just gone and destroyed the world. It's not corporeal.
Al: Exactly.
Dana: So, how do we stop them from opening the portal.
Al: You can't.
Dana: What do you mean I can't?
Al: It's already been opened.
Dana: Then how can we close it?
Al: You already know.
Dana: What? You can't be serious.
Al: Did I stutter? You already know the answer.
Dana: How 'bout you jog my memory?
Al: That cannot be done. I only tell you what you do not know.
Dana: Make an exception. We're on the brink of an apocalypse.
Al: I cannot help you. I can, though, tell you this.
Dana: What?
Al: You do not know who your parents were. You need to be told that they were- (All of a sudden a snake demon comes from out of nowhere and gobbles Al up)
Dana: That can't be good. (Dana runs away as the demon chases her) Sky- Anne, time to go home now.
(Lair, Sky-Anne pulls out of her trance)
Merton: What's wrong?
Sky-Anne: She's in trouble.
Tommy: Help her!
Sky-Anne: I can't! Something pulled me out of the trance. It won't let me access.
Merton: Get her out of there!
Sky-Anne: Don't yell, I'll try summoning power from the earth to wake her from the dream spell. (All of a sudden her eyes become glazed. Merton and Tommy do not notice)
Merton: What's wrong? Hurry up.
Sky-Anne: You fool. Did you think you could keep it a secret? I heard her mind speak. She's troubled as well as you. Did you think no one would ever find out?
Tommy: Merton, what is she talking about?
Sky-Anne: Was she pleased with you? Were you a good boy? Tell me, when you pressed your lips against hers, did you feel like a man?
Tommy: What? Merton, you-
Merton: Tommy. I can explain!
Sky-Anne: Yes Merton, let's explain to Tommy how you took his girl and jammed your tongue down her throat. (She laughs insanely. Tommy gets fed up and slaps her.)
Sky-Anne: (unglazed) What happened?
Tommy: Just finish the damn spell.
Merton: Tommy.
Tommy: Shut up Merton. Sky-Anne, do the spell.
(Sky-Anne nervously meditates. Scene changes to Dana about to be eaten by the snake.)
Dana: (Waking up) That was a close one. (Sees that Tommy is red with anger) What's wrong Tommy? (Tommy turns to walk out. Dana looks at Merton who shakes his head.) Tommy?
(She gets up and places her hand on his arm to catch him. He quickly turns around and catches her hand before it touches him)
Tommy: If you're smart, you'll stay away from me. (He turns back around and opens the door)
Dana: Tommy wait!
Tommy: (Quickly turning his head. Eyes glow yellow) Stay away.
(Tommy leaves. Dana turns to Sky-Anne and Merton)
Dana: Merton, Tommy isn't a regular ordinary human, is he?
Sky-Anne: You mean you don't know?
Dana: Know what?
Merton: Dana, I think it's time to tell you something.

Tonya: I underestimated him. It won't happen again.
Master: Good. Then what is your plan?
Tonya: The henchmen have observed him from afar and have determined that the best way to hurt him is emotionally, and not physically.
Master: And you can do this?
Tonya: Without breaking a sweat. Teenagers are so high-strung with feelings; I almost feel sorry for them.
Master: Indeed. Now that this matter is settled with the boy, we must concern ourselves with more pressing matters. Have you converted her?
Tonya: Not yet. But don't worry, we have an insider working for us. She should be evil in no time. Well, that, or insane.
Master: Very good. We must eliminate her, that, or draw her into the dark side. She knows valuable information. Such valuable information, that if the powers of Good obtain it, all hope for the apocalypse will be destroyed. We must strip Good of every single champion it has. Evil is weakening. I've seen it. You've seen it. I power everything evil. With my strength lessening so is the strength of every demonic thing out there. That is why this next step must not be effected.

Dana: How do we do it?
Sky-Anne: I need to do a dream spell because he dwells in the dream realm. Someone needs to travel through the dream sequence. I don't think I should, just incase I go a little haywire during the spell.
Dana: I'll do it.

Dana: Then how can we close it?
Al: You already know.
Dana: What? You can't be serious.
Al: Did I stutter? You already know the answer.
Dana: How 'bout you jog my memory?
Al: That cannot be done. I only tell you what you do not know.
Dana: Make an exception. We're on the brink of an apocalypse.
Al: I cannot help you. I can, though, tell you this.
Dana: What?
Al: You do not know who your parents were. You need to be told that they were- (All of a sudden a snake demon comes from out of nowhere and gobbles Al up)
Dana: That can't be good. (Dana runs away as the demon chases her) Sky- Anne, time to go home now.
(Lair, Sky-Anne pulls out of her trance)
Merton: What's wrong?
Sky-Anne: She's in trouble.
Tommy: Help her!
Sky-Anne: I can't! Something pulled me out of the trance. It won't let me access.
Merton: Get her out of there!
Sky-Anne: Don't yell, I'll try summoning power from the earth to wake her from the dream spell. (All of a sudden her eyes become glazed. Merton and Tommy do not notice)
Merton: What's wrong? Hurry up.
Sky-Anne: You fool. Did you think you could keep it a secret? I heard her mind speak. She's troubled as well as you. Did you think no one would ever find out?
Tommy: Merton, what is she talking about?
Sky-Anne: Was she pleased with you? Were you a good boy? Tell me, when you pressed your lips against hers, did you feel like a man?
Tommy: What? Merton, you-
Merton: Tommy. I can explain!
Sky-Anne: Yes Merton, let's explain to Tommy how you took his girl and jammed your tongue down her throat. (She laughs insanely. Tommy gets fed up and slaps her.)
Sky-Anne: (unglazed) What happened?
Tommy: Just finish the damn spell.
Merton: Tommy.
Tommy: Shut up Merton. Sky-Anne, do the spell.
(Sky-Anne nervously meditates. Scene changes to Dana about to be eaten by the snake.)
Dana: (Waking up) That was a close one. (Sees that Tommy is red with anger) What's wrong Tommy? (Tommy turns to walk out. Dana looks at Merton who shakes his head.) Tommy?
(She gets up and places her hand on his arm to catch him. He quickly turns around and catches her hand before it touches him)
Tommy: If you're smart, you'll stay away from me. (He turns back around and opens the door)
Dana: Tommy wait!
Tommy: (Quickly turning his head. Eyes glow yellow) Stay away.
(Tommy leaves. Dana turns to Sky-Anne and Merton)
Dana: Merton, Tommy isn't a regular ordinary human, is he?
Sky-Anne: You mean you don't know?
Dana: Know what?
Merton: Dana, I think it's time to tell you something.
