"A NEW ENCOUNTER" Written By: Keetanna SCENE 1 - Willy's house. Willy sits in the livingroom of his house with Janet, his friend from school. JANET Hey, Willy. Let me ask you something WILLY What, Janet? JANET How come it is always so hard to get in touch with you after school and on the weekends? WILLY You wouldn't believe me, even if I told you (stops and shoves a hand full of popcorn in his mouth) (still chewing) Either that or you'd thaink that I was crazy (swallows) Probably both. JANET Try me? WILLY You have to promise not to tell anyone if I tell you. JANET OK. I promise WILLY OK. You know that macine that I was working on a couple of years ago. JANET Yeah, what about it? WILLY Well, I got it to work. JANET So that doesn't explain why you're never at home. WILLY Actually, yes it does. JANET How so? WILLY Well, you see, when I got it to work, it just so happened to let me go into another dimension. JANET (interrupts) Yeah, right. WILLY Just let me finish. (continues) The people there are animals. But the walk and talk just like us. JANET Yeah, and I'm the Queen of England. WILLY No really I mean it . JANET Alright, then tell me just how you got there? WILLY Well a crew of space heroes there have a similar machine like lmine and I just so happened to turn mine on while they had theirs on. JANET (rolls her eyes) Oh, brother. You were right. I don't believe you and I think you're crazy, too. WILLY Well let me ask Jenny if it is alright and I will take you to meet them. Will pulls out the communicator that Jenny gabe to him and begins to talk into it. Janet looks at him like he's crazy. WILLY Jenny, are you there? After a few minutes Jenny's face appears in the jewel. Janet looks in amazement. JENNY What is it, Willy? WILLY Jenny, can you ask Bucky if it is alright if I bring a friend with me when I come to visit you today? JENNY Alright, hold on. Jenny's face dissappears. Janet laughs and Willy looks at her. WILLY What? JANET Cool toy. Jenny's face reappears on the jewel. JENNY Bucky said that it is alright to bring along your friend. Why don't you come now? WILLY Alright. See you in a few. Willy puts away his communicator and leads Janet up to his room. Once in his room, he activates his photon excellerator and leads Janet through the closet door. SCENE 2 - Righteous Indignation. Jenny and Bucky patiently await the arrival of their engineer and his friend. JENNY (to Bucky) Are you sure about this? BUCKY As sure as I can be. Just then Willy's door appears and Willy and Janet walk through it. Janet's eyes widen as she sees Bucky and Jenny, then passes out. Jenny and Bucky look at each other, then at Willy, then at Janet, who is lying on the floor. BUCKY (confused) What was all that about? JENNY (playfully nudges Bucky.) I think you scared her, Buck! BUCKY (nudges Jenny back) Me? What about you? WILLY (wakes Janet) Knock it off, you guys. (looks at Bruiser) Actually, I think he scared her. BRUISER (blushes) Sorry. JANET (laughs) Great costumes, you guys. DEADEYE (questioningly) Costumes? JANET (aggrivated) Nevermind. Suddenly, the ship rocks and there is a loud bang. BUCKY Toads! We're under attack. JANET What? BUCKY Everyone to your battle stations. Everybody rushes around. Janet looks at Willy. JANET I wish you would tell me what's going on. WILLY I'll explain later, just sit down and hold on to something. Commander Dogstar shows up a few moments later and joins in the action. After a few minutes, the toads realize that they are no match for the Bucky and Dogstar's crews and retreat. DEADEYE (to Blinky) I wonder what that was all about? BLINKY Don't know. SCENE 3 - Upper Bay of Righteous Bucky and Jenny sit in their seats. JENNY (anxiously) Bucky, can we go after them? BUCKY You're starting to sound like Deadeye. JENNY I'm sorry Bucky, I'm just in the mood to hurt somebody today. BUCKY That's not why you want to go after them, is it? JENNY Lets just say I want to get back at them. BUCKY Come on Jen, is revenge all you can think about anymore? JENNY I'm sorry. I guess I'm just a little upset. BUCKY (giving in) Alright. (hits the panel) We're going after them. SCENE 5 - Toad Com Room Toadborg stands in front of Komplex talking to him. TOADBORG I hope that pathetic Air Marshal doesn't screw up again. KOMPLEX If he does he's going to pay. You all screwed up the last time. We had those weak mammals caught in our trap and you had the chance to do away with them but you let them go and if you screw up again I'm going to make scrap metal out of you. TOADBORG Yes, Oh Mighty Komplex. The Air Marshal comes in kicking Frix in the shin. AIR MARSHAL You lousy excuses for toads better get in there. They stop and salute. KOMPLEX You had better have a good explanation for why you didn't destroy those mammals. AIR MARSHAL Here's you explanation. (pushes Frix and Frax forward) They screwed up again. FRIX Us, what about you? FRAX Yeah, you were the one who told us to retreat! TOADBORG You are all losers. KOMPLEX You had better not screw up again. TOADBORG (looks at the radar) There is a signal of a mammal ship coming up on radar. (looks at the Air Marshal, Frix, and Frax, then at Komplex) I think that mangy hare is going to come after us. KOMPLEX You will not fail me again. SCENE 5 - Launch Pad of the Toad Mothership. The crew of the Righteous stand and wait for Dogstar and his crew to arrive. After a few moments, Dogstar and his crew arrive. DOGSTAR (to Bucky) So what's the plan. BUCKY You and your crew are going to go that way and split up. ( points to the left) And me and my crew are going to split up and go this way. (points to the right) DOGSTAR What exactly are we here for? BUCKY To hurt toads. DOGSTAR For no reason? BUCKY Yeah, why not they hurt mammals for no reason, why shouldn't we be able to do it to them. And besides Jenny wants to get back at them. DOGSTAR Alright, as long as you know what you are doing. They split up and run is separate directions. SCENE 6 - Computer room of the Toad Ship Jenny and Bucky enter the room. Once in they turn on the lights and there are toads everywhere. Bucky looks at Jenny. BUCKY (to Jenny) Have fun. Bucky and Jenny fight with the toads for a few minutes, then the toads turn and run. Toadborg steps in. JENNY Toadborg. TOADBORG (to Jenny) It's good to see you too. Did you come to get hurt some more? (fires a bolt of energy that hits Bucky and knocks him into a wall) JENNY (gasps) Bucky. (looks at Toadborg) You're gonna pay for that. Jenny fires a bolt of energy at Toadborg causing him to step back. Toadborg, then fires back at Jenny missing her. After a few minutes Jenny concentrates her firing on the computers instead of Toadborg setting fire to tehm. Toadborg looks away. Jenny lifts Bucky over her shoulders and hurries back to the Rightous where the rest of her crew and Dogstar and his crew are waiting for her. She gets onboard and they leave. Numerous explosions occur on the toad ship as they leave. SCENE 7 - Righteous Jenny lays Bucky on a bed in the back of the ship. Everyone is standing around watching. JANET What happened to him. JENNY (sadly) Toadborg. JANET (to Willy) Toadborg? WILLY One of the toads machines. JANET Oh. Bucky groans and sits up rubbing his head. BUCKY (weakly) What happened? Where am I? JENNY Toadborg attacked you, but we're safe now. Bucky lays back. Willy looks at his watch. WILLY Would you look at the time. (to Janet) We had better get home. JENNY See you later, Willy. It was nice meeting you, Janet. JANET Same. They all say goodbye. Willy and Janet turn to leave. THE END
