(Establishing shot – the living room. SYD sneaks in through the window.)
SYD: (breathing a sigh of relief) Maybe she didn't notice I was gone...
JESSIE: (OC) OF COURSE I NOTICED YOU WERE GONE!
SYD: (rolls eyes)
JESSIE: (OC) DON'T YOU ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME, YOUNG LADY!
SYD: I'm your niece, not your daughter. (thinks) I'd kill myself if I was...
JESSIE: (glares)
SYD: Uh...bye! (runs upstairs)
(Later. DES and RON are walking through the hall. Random whispers of people can be heard)
GIRL 1: I heard DES and RON had quite a night nine months ago.
GIRL 2: I heard that too! And DES got kicked out by her aunt.
GIRL 3: That's nothing! I heard that they...
(DES and RON turn the corner, into an empty hallway. RON hugs DES, who is crying.)
RON: It'll be okay, DES. I promise it'll be okay...
DES: Who started this rumor?!
RON: I don't know...
BONNIE: (Walks over) Hey, DES, how're you feeling? How's the baby?
DES: (eyes glowing blue and silver) What?!
BONNIE: Your baby. Didn't you just have it?
DES: No!
(DES runs out of the school, and towards the park. RON follows)
RON: DES, please, calm down...
DES: DON'T YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN, RONALD!
RON: DES, it's just a rumor...
DES: (turns around, facing RON, her eyes glowing blue and silver)
RON: D-DES? What's...what's happening?!
DES: Don't talk to me, STOPPABLE.
RON: (after looking at SYD, who's just walked up) Maybe, if you won't talk to me, you'll talk to your sister.
SYD: DES, what's wrong?
DES: WHAT'S WRONG?! A RUMOR ABOUT ME BEING PREGNANT IS GOING AROUND AND YOU ASK ME WHAT'S WRONG?!
SYD: (gasps)
DES: (glares at SYD as her claws grow out and she shoots a blast of ice at SYD.)
(SYD hits a tree, unconscious. RON walks over to her)
RON: SYD? A-are you okay?
DES: Don't you touch that loser, STOPPABLE. She's nothing.
RON: How can you say that? DES, she's your sister!
DES: I don't care.
RON: DES...
DES: You're cheating on me, aren't you?!
RON: N-no....
DES: That's why you care so much about SYD, isn't it?
RON: Sh-she's just m-my friend...
DES: That's how it starts. (fires another ice blast at SYD)
SYD: (unconscious, barely breathing)
DES: Maybe I'll prevent her from having to deal with the rumors just in case she's more than a friend...(fires yet another ice blast at SYD)
RON: SYD....
(DES backs up a bit, shaking. She realizes what's going on, but she can't control it.)
RON: DES?
(DES runs off)
