Scene 1

[Camera slowly fades in from opening credits to show waves hitting the shore softly. The camera pans out show Cloe standing on the beach and letting the waves crash over her bare feet. A topless Ved walks onto the screen and wraps his arms around her waist and rests his head on her shoulder]

Ved: (Whispers) Happy?
Cloe: (Beams) The happiest

(Ved tilts his head gently before he places a tender kiss on her neck)

Ved: It could be this way forever
Cloe: you promise
Ved: (leans in even closer) would I lie to you
Cloe: …No!

(Cloe turns around in Ved’s arm’s and the couple meet in a hot kiss full of passion)

Cloe: I love you Ved…

(the image of Ved melts away in Cloe’s arms)

Cloe: (Panicking) Ved? Ved?

(Cloe turns back towards the sea to see, Ved’s broken body floating out to sea, Cloe gives out a loud scream which causes the image to break away and be replaced by Cloe sitting up in her bed. Breathing heavily Cloe wipes sweat off her forehead)

Cloe: (Whispers) Oh Ved

[Camera pans around Cloe’s tent, in the corner of the tent is a pile of Ved’s clothes and other items. Cloe slowly lies back down as the camera fades out]


Scene 2

[Camera fades in from black to show a topless Darryl sitting on his bed with Axel sitting next to him, wrapping his arm up in a bandage. Black and blue bruises cover Darryl’s torso. Darryl hisses in pain as Axel moves his arm]

Axel: (Softly) Sorry…
Darryl: Not your fault
Axel: Jay will pay for what he did to you
Darryl: (sighs) Just leave it Axel…please

(Axel nods and carries on wrapping Darryl’s arm up)

Axel: You gotta at least tell the others…so they know what he’s like now
Darryl: (Shrugs) There’s no point!

(Axel jumps up and knocks Darryl’s arm by mistake causing the other guy to cry out in pain)

Axel: What do you mean there’s no point? Look what he’s done to you…
Darryl: …I know…
Axel: …well if you know, why don’t you act on it?
Darryl: (Dishearten) Just drop it Axel
Axel: Fine!

[Axel throws his arms into the air before storming out of Darryl’s room. Camera zooms in on Darryl’s saddened face before cutting out]


Scene 3

[Cloe leaves the comfort of her own tent and enters the main part of the natural camp, she runs a nervous hand through her hair as Crow notices her and waves for her to come sit with him.]

Cloe: (to herself) Here we go!

(Cloe nods and then moves towards to where Crow is sitting. She turns a log to its side and sits next to the older guy)

Crow: (Nudges into her gently) How you doing to day?
Cloe: Still not great…had the same nightmare again last night…
Crow: (smiles) It will past trust me…

(Cloe nods and the couple sit in silence for a couple of minutes watching as another member of the tribe starts getting the fires ready for breakfast)

Crow: (Breaks the silence) Cloe where do we stand here…cause I’m confused…
Cloe: (Holds her hands out) Not yet Crow…it’s just too soon
Crow: It’s been over a month and I still don’t know where I stand…I thought we had something
Cloe: (Getting upset) Crow just stop!
Crow: Cloe?

(Cloe pushes herself up and moves herself away from Crow)

Crow: (Calls after her) Cloe?

(Camera pans around to show tears running down Cloe’s cheeks, she runs past the other naturals and re-enters her tent. Camera zooms in onto the natural who was getting lunch ready, the young girl lifts her head and we see that it’s Lottie, she seems to have a glow about her)

Lottie: (To herself) What was that about?

[Camera zooms into Lottie before fading to black]


Scene 4

[Camera fades in from black to show Lex barricading the door to the bedroom, where Tai-san is pacing back and forth, her arms crossed across her chest defensively]

Lex: Look, you can’t keep walking away from this?
Tai-san (raises an eyebrow): Can’t I?
Lex (shakes his head): For god’s sake Tai-san, we’re married… and you’re acting as if I’ve killed someone…

(Tai-san sighs and crosses and uncrosses her arms)

Lex: Oh, so now you’re not gonna say anything, huh?

(Tai-san remains silent)

Lex: God, sometimes I hate you!
Tai-san (voice breaks): And I hate you too!

(Lex looks a little stunned at the voice breaking; he isn’t use to Tai-san appearing vulnerable. Tai-san walks away, her back to Lex as she sits on the bed and breaks into sobs)

Lex (walks over to Tai-san): Are you crying?
Tai-san (nods): Of course!

(Lex kneels in front of Tai-san)

Lex: I never knew you could cry…
Tai-san: I’m not immune to things such as crying (wipes her eyes) …you hurt me Lex, after I trusted you again… you really hurt me!
Lex: I never meant it to be like that… I was, I was just so glad to be back with you, after the time apart and breaking through the walls you put up…
Tai-san: I had to be sure of your intentions Lex…
Lex: I know… deep down I know you were right… and I’m sorry…
Tai-san: I love you Lex…
Lex: And I love you too!

[Lex cups Tai-san’s face in his hands as he kisses her passionately, and the camera fades to black.]


Scene 5

[Camera pans around to show Conrad sitting in his room reading over plans, blueprints of the city can be seen scattered around his feet and the surrounding floor. A knock at the door is heard as Conrad doesn’t move, the knock comes again, louder and more impatient as Conrad looks up]

Conrad: Go away… I’m busy…

(The door opens and West sticks his head around the corner)

Conrad: I said I was busy…
West: It’s important…
Conrad: I’m still busy…
West: It’s about Ebony…

(Conrad looks up at the mention of Ebony’s name and motions for West to come in)

Conrad: So…
West: So… I have some nice juicy information for you boss…
Conrad: Spill…

(West takes a deep breath)

West: So twice now… I’ve seen her, seen Ebony leaving the base…
Conrad: …and?
West: And… she was going to meet someone!
Conrad: Who?

(West shrugs as he makes himself at home)

West: No clue boss… just someone with a hooded cloak on, she seemed to know them… got mighty chummy if you get my drift… I figured you want to know…

(Conrad glares at West as he walks over to the guy picks him up and pins him against the wall)

Conrad: You think I have time for your games?
West: Games?
Conrad (yells): Bring me something when you have something to tell me!
West: …but!
Conrad: But… nothing!

[Conrad throws West out the door and slams it shut, glaring at the wall before the camera fades to black.]


Scene 6

[Lex, Bray and Amber are talking in the common room of the school.]

Lex: So anyway, I was thinking about taking the militia out on a field exercise, like patrolling the streets.
Amber: (Yelling) What are you thick Lex? We can’t do that cause we’re not in control! It would be like storming up to the Krul’s base and knocking yelling “COME OUT AND GET US”!

[Bray and Lex just stare at Amber. She stares back at them with the same intensity then just huffs and storms off.)

Lex: (shrugging) She’s your woman
Bray: I don’t know what’s wrong with her. She’s been acting like that to me all the time lately.
Lex: It sounds like that time of the month
Bray: It could be. I think there’s something more though
Lex: Is Junior sick or something?
Bray: No. I wish she’d talk to me.
Lex: If it was important, she’d tell you. But you gotta remember mate. You didn’t want to talk to her when Moon died. I’m just saying is all.
Bray: I guess so.

[The camera focuses on Bray’s face and then fades.]


Scene 7

[Camera fades in from black to show Cloe in her tent rushing about packing her clothes into a bag; the tent door is zipped open causing Cloe to jump. Camera pans around to show Lottie standing in the door way]

Cloe: Oh thank god it’s just you Lottie?
Lottie: (Frowns) avoiding someone…or should I say Crow?
Cloe: I can’t stay here anymore Lottie, everything is just too real now?

(Lottie’s moves into the tent and sits herself next to Cloe’s bag)

Lottie: So you’re going to run away?
Cloe: (shakes her head) No I’m going back to my real tribe, the one I was running away from to start with?
Lottie: (looks up at Cloe) You planning to go without saying goodbye?
Cloe: (Tosses a top into the bag) That is the plan

(Lottie jumps up and moves back towards the door)

Lottie: (Smiles) I’m coming with you!

(Cloe stops in what she is doing and turns around to face Lottie with a raised eyebrow)

Cloe: You can’t leave
Lottie: I’ll leave a note, it’s not like I’m not planning to come back again
Cloe: Only if you promise me, you will come back
Lottie: (smiles) I promise

[Lottie quickly leaves the tent causing the camera to turn back to Cloe as she throws a pile of photos on top of her clothes before closing the bag up. Camera fades out to black]


Scene 8

[Camera cuts back to the school to show Gel lying on her bed with her head rested in one of her hands and her eyes going backwards and forwards as Axel paces in her room. Axe stops in his pacing and turns to face Gel]

Axel: So now you know why I’m so pissed off?
Gel: Let me get it right…your angry because your boyfriend is scared he will be rejected if he comes out to his tribe but you still want him to come out of the closet…

(Axel thinks his over for a minute before he replies)

Axel: …Yes!
Gel: (Sits up) Don’t you think that’s a bit selfish of you?

(Axel looks away with tears in his eyes)

Axel: I guess…but he needs to make his mind up…I don’t want it to be a secret anymore…I don’t want Jay to get away from hurting him.

(Gel pushes herself up and moves behind Axel, she wraps her arms around his waist and rests her head on his shoulder)

Gel: I know you’re not the kind of guy to wait for things…but for once I think you have to wait for Darryl to be ready…don’t push him to far away or you might loose him….trust me I know what it’s like to loss the guy you love!

(Axel leans his head against Gel’s and the friends share a moment of silence)

Axel: I know

[Camera pans out before fading to black]


Scene 9

[Tai-san is walking through the hall way and spots Amber leaving her room.]

Tai-san: Amber wait!
Amber: (stops and slowly turns. In a monotone voice) Yes?
Tai-san: Do you feel it?

[Salene appears around the corner]

Salene: Feel what? Trouble? Are Brady and Bray Jr ok?
Amber: Yes their both fine Salene. I just put Junior down for a nap.
Tai-san: Sorry Salene, I was just sensing a change of aura. It has shifted throughout the entire mall.
Amber: (nervously) really?
Salene: Is it a good aura Tai-san? Like something wonderful is about to happen. Maybe a new addition?

[Amber just looks at her feet while sucking in her stomach]

Tai-san: (Looking at Amber) Something like that
Salene: Oh how wonderful! I’ve got to go and tell May.

[Salene leaves the two girls standing in the hall]

Tai-san: Well Amber, what do you think about the change of aura?
Amber: (lying) To be honest Tai-san, everything seems normal to me.
Tai-san: Maybe I should meditate on it more.
Amber: Yes that should help. Keep the tribe in balance.
Tai-san: You actually agree with me?
Amber: It wouldn’t hurt.

[Amber retreats back to her room and Tai-san walks down the hall towards her room]

[Eric is in his room asleep on his bed with a book resting on his chest. Trudy appears at his door and knocks softly. Eric awakes with a start.]

Trudy: Oh sorry!
Eric: (rubbing his eyes. In a groggy voice) No no, it’s ok. I’m up, I’m up.
Trudy: I’m really sorry.
Eric: For goodness sake Trudy, come in and sit down.

[Trudy slowly enters the room and sits on Eric’s bed.]

Trudy: I’m really sorry to bother you…
Eric: Trudy if you say “sorry” one more time…
Trudy: Sorry… oh no!

[Both Eric and Trudy burst into laughter. Trudy’s laughter starts to turn into crying. Eric places a comforting arm around her.]

Eric: Trudy? What’s wrong?
Trudy: Eric. I’m so scared
Eric: About what? Come on Trudy, talk to me.
Trudy: It’s Jay.
Eric: What about him?
Trudy: He’s so frightening!
Eric: What did he do?
Trudy: (Still sobbing) He threatened me! He openly threatened me.
Eric: (Angry) He WHAT?
Trudy: I don’t know what to do anymore. He just…
Eric: (Getting up) He’s going to pay
Trudy: (Holding his arm.) No wait! Please. Just hold me for a while.

[Eric lowers himself back to the bed and lets Trudy put her full weight on him. They stay there for hours just holding each other, letting the world fade away.]

[Slade and Ruby are talking in the cafeteria. Slade is showing physical signs of weakness, with a pale face and his hands are slightly shaking.]

Slade: It’s been too long
Ruby: But it’s worth it.
Slade: Not yet. But it will be.
Ruby: Slade we’re all really proud of you. I’m really proud of you.
Slade: (looking deep into Ruby’s eyes) It’s just so hard. I don’t know if I can last.
Ruby: You’ve got to Slade! Please. It’s so important that you do.
Slade: I will. Only so I can tell Moon’s people.

Eric: You and me have business?

(A voice can be heard from off screen)

Voice: And what business would that be?

(Eric clenches his fists as the camera turns to show that the voice is in fact Jay)

Eric: You… and what you did to Trudy!
Jay: Ah, has the purple haired tart got you to deal with her mistakes!
Eric: You’re unbelievable; you don’t treat women that way…
Jay: Not even whores? That’s what she is… a cheap, nasty whore!

(Eric gets really mad, the veins in his arms start to bulge and his eyes become narrower)

Eric: ASSHOLE!

(Eric lunges for Jay, his fists swinging wildly as he misses and hits the wall, cursing he tries again, just as Jay jumps out of the way. Eric then falls on the floor, but before he can move and lunge again, Jay picks him up and body slams the guy into the wall. Eric yells in pain as the camera pans to show the close up of the two men)

Jay: You’re a fool Eric… a fool!

(Jay slams Eric into the wall again, this time blood is spilt as Eric’s face squashes against the wall)

[Trudy and Amber are walking through the school grounds. Both are walking in silence. At points of time Trudy turns to talk to Amber but can’t bring herself to say anything. Amber doesn’t notice this as she stares at the ground. All of a sudden Trudy grabs Amber by her shoulders and turns her body so that Amber is looking directly at her.]

Trudy: (forcefully) You have to tell him!
Amber: I don’t know how to.
Trudy: Come on Amber! It’s killing him.

[Amber looks at Trudy silently.]

Trudy: I think he already knows. He’s seen the symptoms in both of us. You know he’d be over the moon.
Amber: Fine. I’ll tell him on one condition.
Trudy: What?
Amber: I choose when I tell him, and you need to be near the door when I tell him. That way if anything goes wrong…

[Ryan turns his attention from the scene and finds Maya in her room]

Ryan: Maya I’m concerned about Kaden.

Ruby: (sighing) Ram, I’m not ready to tell you yet.
Ram: (angry) It’s because of Slade. It’s always because of Slade!
Ruby: (matching anger) Don’t blame him! It’s not his fault. I’m just trying to be a good friend.
Ram: But you want to be more than good friends. You won’t be happy until you screw me over just to get to him!
Ruby: How dare you! (Walks up to Ram and slaps him on the face. Hard)

[Ram just stares back at her in silence. All of a sudden he bends down and kisses Ruby.]

Tai-san: Ok KC… you go ahead…

(KC nods and leaves the room, as he rounds the corner, Patsy reaches out and grabs a hold of him, pulling him close she kisses him passionately)

Patsy: I thought you never escape…
KC: Me either, now let’s get out of here…

(KC and Patsy giggle as they head out of the school and into the yard, at odd times they stop for kisses and cuddles)

KC: Mmm, I love the way that you kiss…
Patsy: I love the way your hands feel on my skin…

(KC pulls Patsy around the corner of the playground as he pushes her up against a wall and their hands start to roam all over the place, things get pretty hot as the camera starts to steam up)

Ebony (bored): Come in…

(The door opens and one of the slave girls comes into the room, curtseys and looks to Ebony)

Ebony (impatiently): Well?
Girl 1: Excuse me for interrupting… but Sir has asked you speak with him…

(There is an awkward moment of silence between Trudy and Eric)

Trudy: No one’s ever done that for me before…

Eric (sighs): So how would you feel if I asked you out?
Trudy (blushes): On like a date…

(Eric nods as he gets up and smiles, going to look at his nose in the mirror before turning to face Trudy)

Eric: Yeah… I really like you Trudy and I’d like the opportunity for us to do this thing properly…
Trudy (whispers): Yes…

(Eric carries on as if he hadn’t heard Trudy’s response)

Eric: I mean… all this fooling around all this time… and we still haven’t had our first date…

Cass: You know what. I’m going to be so glad to walk normally once this is “thing” is out of me.
Trudy: I remember feeling the same way. You’ll eventually wish you were still pregnant though.
Maya: I wish I could have a child but I guess that’s something I will never get to experience.
Trudy: Maya, you will. But if you keep talking like that you’re going to get everyone to believe you.

Scene 23

[The camera shows a line of feet and as it moves up there is a line of chairs, on the line of chairs is the majority of members of the tribe bar Darryl and Axel, Jay is seen sitting opposite the line of chairs, a vodka bottle in his hand as he doesn’t look amused.]

Jay: So what is this? The Spanish inquisition?

(There is silence from the members of the tribe as Bray and Amber look at each other)

Jay: Oh, so this is the Bray and Amber show is it?
Bray: No Jay… this is about you and your behaviour towards other members of the tribe…
Jay: Great… who’s the snitch…
Bray: No one snitched, we’ve all noticed the way you were with Slade when Moon died, and you’ve treated some of the women badly…

(At the mention of the word women, Trudy looks at the floor as Eric squeezes her hand)

Jay (whispers): Whores!
Lex: Did you say something mate?
Jay: Nothing that involves you… wimp…

(Lex is not amused, he stands up and is ready to charge but Tai-san holds him back)

Tai-san: You can’t help him Lex… Jay is on a self destructive path… only he can sort out his karmic energy flow…
Jay: Oh so now I’m a karmic mess… lucky me…

(Bray sighs as he stands up)

Bray: The reason you’re here Jay is because the tribe has come together to make a decision about your fate…
Jay (challenging): My fate?
Bray: Yes Jay… all those in favour of Jay leaving should raise their hands now…

(Bray raises his hand and it is soon followed by all of the tribe members, with Slade, Trudy and Lex raising their hands promptly… Amber shakes her head in Jay’s direction when she raisers her hand)

Bray: It’s unanimous… for the first time in the history of the Mallrats we hereby banish you from the tribe Jay… you are never to return, you are no longer one of us…

(Jay jumps up and cuts Bray off, he is angry and his eyes narrow)

Jay: I can’t believe you f**king idiots, you have a war on your hands and you throw me out in favour of pretty boy… I hope you all bloody die…

(Jay picks up the vodka bottle he is holding and the chair before throwing the chair in Bray’s direction and turning his back on the tribe)

Jay: You’re all gonna pay…

(The camera moves back around to show the rest of the tribe sitting down, some of them are in shock as Bray gets up off the floor and goes to nurse his bruised arm from where the chair has hit him. Lex stands up and raises a finger to the blonde haired guy mumbling something incoherent under his breath)

(Suddenly out of no where there is a smash and an explosion in the café as a fireball spreads into half of the café, screams ensue as the Mallrats try to dodge the fireball from the Molotov Cocktail that Jay had just thrown)

Jay: Adios… morons!

Axel: (Whispers) There you go!
Darryl: (Grins) Thanks

(Darryl tilts his head and kissed Axel on the lip’s which Axel returns)

Darryl: (Walks over to his wardrobe) Did you hear that explosion?
Axel: (Nods) Yea…something to do with Jay being kicked out of the tribe…so don’t worry about your secret coming out.

(Darryl turns back to face his boyfriend and lets out a sigh)

Darryl: Please don’t start this again…
Axel: (Looks away) That’s why I’m here Darryl
Darryl: (Frowns) What?

(Axel clears his throat and walks uneasy across the room)
