Easy. We build our own soap opera. Write the same way you'd write a script... only far less serious. Add new characters as you wish... this is just for fun. xD
Alright, let's have it be set in a medieval-type village.
Here we go:
EXT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - NIGHT.
Gardener Tom is outside the brick house, cutting one of the many large hedges with rusty SCIZZORS.
WOMAN (O.S.)
Oh, Raul from foreign lands, take me as you would your own wife...
Tom lifts his head and turns slowly towards the one window where a candle burns.

INT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Bathilda and Raul are engaging in highly explicit activities against a wall, though conveniently hidden by the conveniently placed furniture in the room.
RAUL
Oh, Bathilda!
(beat)
But first! We must swear to never let this be known
to anyone! If they were to find out --

Bathilda aims a BITE at Raul's throat, her teeth instead snapping against each other.
BATHILDA
I know, I know... your wife's father and his army would kill you and your family.
Bathilda lets out an exaggerated gasp.
BATHILDA
But I want you with me so badly...

EXT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - NIGHT.
TIMMY skips around the house, too lost in his imagination to hear the sounds of pleasure resonating from within the walls. He dances past TOM, who is frozen in shock with his eyes glued at the window of the house.
Suddenly, a pack of savage dogs HOWL at the young boy, and chase him towards the well, which soon becomes his only escape ...
As Timmy descends into the well --

INT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - NIGHT
RAUL
And I want you with me!
RAUL lifts turns his head at the sound of the HOWL. He looks at Bathilda.
RAUL
Say, when did get have dogs? You know I hate dogs.

BATHILDA
Those stray bitches are feasting off my garden again?!
Bathilda furiously kicks Raul out of her and snaps towards the window, where TOM jumps back in horror.
BATHILDA
Gods be good, he SAW us! My gardener, the fool!

INT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - NIGHT
RAUL'S eyes are wide with shock. He can't believe.
RAUL
What?! It can't be!
(beat)
We have to kill him. By God,
we have to kill him.
On his determination --

INT. WELL. Faint breaths echo through the shadows that blanket a scared Timmy. He sits against the hard rocks, abandoned but not alone. TIMMY
Mummy ... Laughter fills the darkness around him, and an old, wrinkly hag of a woman steps out of the black. Her eyes are wide, insanity hidden deep behind them. This is OPIE. OPIE
Don't worry, child. You're not alone ... Opie offers her trembling hand. Just as curious as he is scared, Timmy takes it, and is led into a world of adventure... |

EXT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - NIGHT.
Tom drops his scizzors and shoots off across the garden, into the dark of the stable.
The house door BURSTS off its hinges and Raul comes running out with Bathilda in tow.
RAUL
I must strangle him with my own hands! It must be done, my secret loved!
BATHILDA
Raul, there has to be another way! I beg you, stop this madness!
Tom comes RIDING out of the stable, mounted on a beatiful white horse that sends a SPASM through Raul's body as he stops.
RAUL
Not my Ronja, you son of the bitches!! I will have your head on my coffee table for this!!
But Tom is already off on the trail leading out of town.

INT. WELL Faint SPLASHING can be heard from pitch black, far end of the bottom of the well. It gets closer, closer, until -- A small, knee-height goblin with long, floppy ears pierced with golden rings hops into view. He is BO-BO. He examines TIMMY, then OPIE. He doesn't look happy. BO-BO
Dis' be mah sleepin' time, mon!
Whatchu you doin' laughin' and
echoin' all over mah walls? He glares long and hard at Timmy. BO-BO
And who's dis'? On his displeasure -- CUT TO: EXT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - NIGHT An old man with a cane shuffles around the house with a broken liquor bottle in his hand. He grins and exposes his mouth of only three teeth. This is GROVER. He cackles at BATHILDA and RAUL, and takes a swig from the liquor bottle. GROVER
Yous youngins in some trouble! |

Raul simply sends Grover a dark glare and then storms off into the stable himself.
Grover reaches Bathilda, who backs off with disgust.
GROVER
You wake Grover when sleepin'! Grover tells yous you no doin' stuff in the night! So yous do stuff in the night! Grover say no, no!
He SLASHES through the air with the bottle. Bathilda avoids it cutting her throat and then manages to GRASP it. She snatches it from the old man's frail hand and SHATTERS it over his head.
Grover falls to the ground with a moan, out.
Raul rides out of the stable and sets off on the trail. Bathilda drops what remains of the bottle and attempts to follow... but he is already gone.
BATHILDA
Rauuuul!! My secret love!!

INT. MANVAH MANSION, JACINTA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT. A hand circles around a large glowing orb, and as we crawl up the long sleeve attached, we find JACINTA. Her eyes, pale white, grow wider. JACINTA
I can see it. The pieces are scattered. The
puzzle is yet to be connected. The door CLICKS open, and Jacinta breaks her concentration. Her eyes return to a saphire blue, and the orb's glow fades. The SERVANT enters, carrying a tray of food that he lays down at the bedside table. The cluttering of silverwear calls Jacinta's attention. She locks eyes with the servent, SLYTHE. JACINTA
My word, Slythe! Have you no respect for
the gods? How dare you interrupt me!
SLYTHE
Apologies, ma'am. I mean no disrespect.
JACINTA
Be gone, servant boy! You are not needed. Slythe turns away, as commanded. Jacinta returns to the orb, and strokes it with her fingertips - it GLOWS. Comes back to life. JACINTA
Show me the kid ... An image of TIMMY appears in the orb, joined at the hand of OPIE, who leads him into a world of mystery. As a grin forms on Jacinta's face, we -- |

(Note: Take notice that we're now skipping to the next day) CUT TO: EXT. DIRT ROAD - DAY. Tom rides across the dirt road, framed by the crooked trees of forest intimately leaning over the sides. He ducks left, ducks right, ducks down, avoiding hitting his face against one of the branches. TOM You made your choice, Tom, now you must complete it. You betrayed your mistress for potential riches. Tom nods firmly to himself and ducks beneath yet another branch. TOM You're crossing the border to The Bowlands and taking what you saw to Queen Paula and her lord father. Tom rides on, his horse's hooves leaving behind a cloud of dust on the road. CUT TO: INT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY. Bathilda lifts her head from the cup of coffee she was sipping, her despair replaced by a striking realization. BATHILDA I haven't sighted my son all morning... She throws a look around the immediate area. No son. |

EXT. BATHILDA'S HOUSE - DAY Grover is still out like a light, one of his only remaining teeth lying on the ground. A small pool of blood has formed around his mouth, but he's still breathing. DRIFT UP to the roof of the house. A young man in his mid-twenties sits there. This is WESTON. He drops his chin into his hands, then suddenly -- He LEAPS off the roof and lands by the kitchen window. He peaks inside, a grin on his face. WESTON
(to Bathilda)
What was all that ruckus last night? And do you know
Grover is passed out on the lawn again? Lost another
tooth, too.
(beat)
Can I come in? |
