(Establishing Shot – The basement lair. SYD and SHEGO are sparring. SYD
kicks SHEGO toward a wall)
SHEGO: (groan, gets up) Not bad, SYD.
SYD: Really? Ya think?
SHEGO: (nods) Yeah.
SYD: Cool! (yawns) I'm gonna head off to bed.
(Later, SYD is sleeping, having yet another nightmare. In her nightmare, the setting is the same laboratory DES was created in. DES is suspended in the center of the incubation tube, wearing hospital garb. SYD and DEMENTOR approach the computer console)
DEMENTOR: (pushing SYD toward the main computer) Destroy everything.
SYD: O-okay...(presses a key, a microphone lowers and SYD speaks into it) Abort PROJECT D060787B.
COMPUTER: Awaiting verification. Are you sure you wish to abort this project?
SYD: Y-yes.
DEMENTOR: (hits SYD on the back of the head) Speak clearly!
SYD: (clearly) Yes.
(SYD looks up. DES' eyes open and her hands fly up to her neck, as if she was choking.
DEMENTOR: Good. Now, the last step in the process is to unplug that device over there. (points) Can I trust you to do that?
SYD: (nods)
DEMENTOR: (leaves)
SYD: Computer. Reactivate D060787B.
COMPUTER: Project rebooting.
SYD: Excellent. (walks out the door)
(SYD wakes up, breathing hard)
SYD: Okay. And the award for 'Freakiest Dream' goes to...
(SYD yawns and goes back to sleep. The next day, SYD and DES are sitting on the couch, bored out of their skulls.)
SYD: ....You wanna throw a party?
DES: (shrug) Why not?
(Later. SYD and JOSH talk for a minute, then start making out)
DES: (To herself) Typical.
SAM: Hey, DES, there's someone I want you and SYD to meet.
DES: Uh...I think...SYD may be preoccupied at the moment.
SAM: Yo, SYD! (grabs SYD'S arm)
SYD: Hey!
(SYD, SAM, and DES walk over to two BOYS. One has red hair, ocean-green eyes, and an earring, and the other has brown hair and brown eyes.)
BOY 1 (RED HAIR): Hi. I'm SCOTT FOREST.
BOY 2: I'm NICK FOREST.
SYD: SYD LIPSKY.
DES: I'm DES LIPSKY. Nice to meet you.
(RON walks over)
RON: Hey, DES! Wanna dance?
DES: Uh...(lies) I don't know how. Sorry.
RON: Oh...okay. (Walks off)
SCOTT: (To DES) I can teach you.
SYD: (Walks off and starts talking to JOSH again, and they start making out)
SAM: (of SYD) Aaaaaaaaaand here we go again....
SCOTT: (as he's teaching DES) See? It's easy.
DES: (Grins)
(Three hours and forty-five minutes later. The stereo suddenly cuts off.)
DES: (Thinks) We're dead. We're dead and buried. Actually, knowing her, buried alive.
JESSIE: (OC) EVERYBODY OUT!!!!
(Everybody runs for it, including SYD)
JESSIE: EVERYBODY EXCEPT YOU, SYDNEY-REN!
SYD: I'm toast.
SHEGO: (groan, gets up) Not bad, SYD.
SYD: Really? Ya think?
SHEGO: (nods) Yeah.
