(ESTABLISHING SHOT: Tampa Skyline- just before dusk)
(Cut to the roof of a building. A NINJA runs out of the rooftop door. He turns around and takes out a small device. He holds it up to the door knob- it melts. The NINJA turns and runs. He runs to the edge of the building and leaps. He flies through the air and lands steadily on the roof of another building. He runs to the roof door and opens it- revealing KIM)
KIM: You didn't think you'd get rid of me that easily, did you?
(The NINJA leaps backwards and takes a stance- ready to fight. KIM steps onto the roof and takes a similar stance. The NINJA lunges towards KIM. KIM steps aside and the NINJA hits the ground, but gets right back up. He takes out several throwing stars from his belt and throws them. KIM ducks and they strike the wall behind her. KIM leaps up and kicks the NINJA, he falls to the ground and immediately springs to his feet. He reaches into a back sheath and produces a long samurai sword. He holds it menacingly. He knows how to use it. He and KIM circle each other. The NINJA reaches the door KIM came out of and stands, ready to attack. He holds the sword, ready to make his attack, when suddenly the door swings open, flattening him against a wall. The sword falls out of his hand and falls to the ground with a loud clatter. RON stands in the doorway, holding a basket of nachos. RUFUS sits in the basket, chowing down)
RON: (Out of breath) Sorry. KP. lots. of stairs. So, where's the ninja?
KIM: Look behind the door.
(RON pulls back the door. The unconscious NINJA falls to the ground)
RON: Oh.
(Dissolve to a short while later. The NINJA is loaded into a police car. KIM and RON stand with a MUSEUM CURATOR)
MUSEUM CURATOR: I can't thank you enough for recovering that ancient pair of Ming Dynasty nun chucks, Ms Possible.
KIM: Oh, it was no big.
RON: Yeah, we've taken on ninjas before. (Beat) Well, she's taken on ninjas before. I've sort of, you know, been the distraction. or hostage.
MUSEUM CURATOR: No, I have to do something. Here-
(MUSEUM CURATOR reaches into his pocket and takes out two tickets)
MUSEUM CURATOR: The Museum is co-sponsoring an event at one of the local theme parks.
(RON takes the tickets)
RON: (Reads) "Halloween Night of Terror and Other Really, Really Scary Stuff." (To KIM) Sounds like fun.
KIM: Come on, Ron, we've got better things to do than trick-or-treat in some amusement park.
RON: On Halloween? Come on, Kim, we've already caught one bad guy, let's have a little bit of fun! Besides, this'll make up for last Halloween.
KIM: Right. Last Halloween. How could I forget. (Beat) By the way, how did that go- with the insomniac crowd?
RON: Great- got a pizza from one guy.
KIM: A pizza?
RON: They get more creative late at night.
KIM: I see.
RON: Of course, the more creative they get the sooner you have to eat the food. You ever try walking door to door while eating a pizza pie? It isn't easy. (Beat) So, what'dya say, KP?
KIM: Fine.
RON/RUFUS: Boo-ya!
(They start to walk off)
RON: So, we gonna dress up?
KIM: For a theme park? I don't think so.
RON: Come on, KP! It's Halloween!
KIM: Whatever.
