4 years ago - Louisiana

At night, in an old neighborhood, a two story, red-bricked house looms in the distance, beside other old, one-story brick houses.

On the upper level of the Fouche home, several teenagers are visible in an open doorway, dancing and partying. A teenager walks down the hall and into the party room. Down the hall, a shut doorway ahead has no lights on.

ALEXA: "My, my. Are you blushing?"

The master bedroom of the Fouche home is dark, but the fireworks visible from the windows keeps the room somewhat illuminated. Seated at one corner are two 15 year olds - the blonde ALEXA FOUCHE and the brunette, scruffy haired Cajun YOUNG REMY LEBEAU. Remy is wearing a trench coat over his clothes and gloves, while Alexa is wearing shorts and a tank top. Alexa smiles at Remy.

ALEXA: "Never thought I'd see the soft side to you."

YOUNG REMY: "You're worth letting my guard down for, cherie."

Remy puts his hand on the side of Alexa's face and he smiles at her.

YOUNG REMY: "Never met a girl like you before, Alexa."

Alexa smiles and nuzzles her cheek in Remy's palm.

ALEXA: "I feel the same way about you."

Remy grins and Alexa puts her hand over Remy's. Remy quickly recoils and winces.

YOUNG REMY: "Careful, girl. You gotta go easy on me."

ALEXA: "Sorry. Did the doctors say what was wrong with your hands?"

YOUNG REMY: "He couldn't find a thing wrong with them. He wants me to keep them covered just a bit longer. The medicine he had me take isn't helping ease the pain."

Alexa smiles and leans close to Remy.

ALEXA: "I think I've got the right medicine you need."

Young Remy smiles and leans close to Alexa. The two slowly lean forward and kiss. The two close their eyes and start to kiss, as the fireworks continue to erupt outside. Remy's hands start to glow with a dim red light and it bathes over the gloves. Alexa stops kissing and looks at Remy's hands in horror. ALEXA SCREAMS and young Remy opens his eyes and grabs at the gloves.

YOUNG REMY: "Whoa, crap!!"

The energy glows brighter, charging up in power, and Remy quickly turns to the open window. Remy quickly tosses the energized gloves out of the window and away from the house. Remy's gloves collide on the ground and they explode like a grenade as they hit the ground, blowing up the bottom of a tree. The explosion knocks the tree back and through a fence. The tree collides into the pool in the back yard of the next door neighbor's house. The back door of the neighbor's home slides open and a YOUNG GIRL looks at the back yard, stunned.

YOUNG GIRL: (yells) "DADDY! THERE'S A BIG TREE IN OUR POOL!"

Remy stares outside in shock and looks at his hands. The dim red glow of energy over his hands fades and disappears. Remy turns around to Alexa and she looks at him in shock. Alexa steps back from him, afraid.

ALEXA: "Remy, what did you do?"

A beat. Young Remy can only stare at his hands. Finally, he looks up at Alexa in equal fear.

YOUNG REMY: "Alexa, I... I didn't mean to..."

Remy reaches out to Alexa, but she quickly scrambles away from him and to the doorway.

ALEXA: (yells) "NO! DON'T TOUCH ME!"

Alexa turns around and runs out of the doorway. The kids approach down the hall and Alexa runs past them. The teenagers look into the room at Remy, as he turns and looks outside. Remy looks down and stares at his hands.
