3 Girl Giggling from "Where is he"
4 Brenton; I'm here Master.
5 Morpheus; Ah Brenton, I need you to add the special sauce
to these sandwiches,
These idiots can't do it right.
5 Brenton; I brought you a present, Master.
6 Morpheus; Oooh, what is it?
7 Girl; You know I don't really fancy a sandwich…Brenty wenty…let's just go back to mine and…(gasp)
8 Morpheus; Hello my pretty.
9 Girl; Who are you?
10 Morpheus; Didn't Brenton tell you. I'm your doom…
11 Girl Dies. Die Effect
12 Morpheus; Mmm. Delicious… Brenton dear. I have decided to forgive you
13 Brenton; Does this mean I'm back in the good books?
14 Morpheus; My dear boy… you let a (disgust) human beat you…
15 Brenton; Chancer isn't human…he can't be… he's too damn strong.
16 Morpheus; Stronger than a Vampire? I think not.
17 Brenton; (sulkily) Almost… I hit him really hard and he hardly flinched.
18 Morpheus; (deep in thought) Interesting… this is the professor's boy?
19 Brenton; Yeh…but she chucked out of the school…
somethin' to do with the dark
arts… I think.
20 Morpheus; Well…(suddenly assertive) let us not worry
about him…you are
forgiven continue with your work as planned…. I will see
you shortly.
21 Morpheus Exits.
22 Brenton; Hmm. That was odd… what's he up to? I'm gonna find out.
23 Brenton follows.
SCENE FIVE. 7.1.5. OB
1 WE ARE OUTSIDE. WE HEAR AN OWL AND FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING. FOOTSTEPS STOP. WE HEAR BREATHING.
2 Abigail; Position 4 (gasp) Who's there?
3 Morpheus; Position 2 Hello Abigail.
4 Abigail; (SHOCK Approaching to position 3) Morpheus…. How did you… (ANGRY)I thought I told you I never wanted to see you again.
5 Morpheus; Tut tut tut…no need to get shirty. Circumstances have changed now.
6 Abigail; Nothings changed…it's all in the past and that's where it stays.
7 Morpheus; That would be fine… but you and I both know there's more to it than that
8 Abigail: I got over you a long time ago.
9 Morpheus: Don't flatter yourself dear… it's not you I'm interested in.
10 Abigail: Then what…
11 Morpheus; Rumour has it you have a son.
12 Abigail; You stay away from Vivian.
13 Morpheus; (Sharp) Or what? No I didn't think so. Apparently Chancer is a pretty good fighter.
14 Abigail; So. I taught him to protect himself, from the likes of you.
15 Morpheus; Really? (losing his temper) Do you think I'm stupid Abigail? Or did you just think I wouldn't care? (controlled again) However I think right now I might be ready to show the boy some Fatherly affection. What do you think?
16 Abigail; If you lay one hand on him…(scary) I swear you'll live to regret it.
17 Morpheus; Hopefully my dear I won't have to.
Scene One. OUTSIDE CAMPUS SHOP. 7.2.1 Tyra and Lizette.
1. Tyra and Lizette are hanging around outside the shop.
2 Lizette: (Laughing) Still no date Tyra?
3 Tyra; I know three days to the The Valentines ball and
4 Tyra and Lizette: still no date.
5 Lizette; But at least you've got your Karen Millen dress!… Don't worry Ty, some one will ask you soon
6 Tyra; I don't want to go with any of the losers on campus… but I gotta getta date man.
7 Lizette; Yeh but those guys are just scared.
8 Tyra; (irritated) Oh blah… this is turning into an emergency.
9 Lizette; (Sighing) Oh look, there's Chancer, he is SO Fit.
10 Tyra; hmm… Now he would be the perfect date…
11 Lizette; Wouldn't he just… (swooning) the girl that gets him is a lucky girl.
12 Tyra; Well… I'm sure he wants to ask me… maybe I'll just go and remind him.
13 Tyra Leaves.
14 Lizette; (sarcastically) Good Luck.
Scene 2. The Tunnel. 7.2.2 Underscoring Villain music. They are packing sandwiches
1 Morpheus: Eavesdropping, my dear Brenton…No don't mix up the meat and vegetarian sandwiches.
2 Brenton: Sorry master…but I can't remember which colour for which.
3 Brenton makes acknowledging noises, throughout this speech.
4 Morpheus: (Sighing) My dear boy it's quite simple. Meat sandwiches have a pink label, think of it as pink for the blood of the meat. Fish sandwiches, the sea, are blue. Vegetarian, mostly cheese which is yellow and then the vegan ones which are basically salad are green. It's not difficult.
5 Brenton: O.K. That helps, thankyou master…er what were you saying?
6 Morpheus; Urm…Oh yes… Eavesdropping is a most
despicable
habit…Especially when you are listening to my conversations…
Don't do it again.
7 Brenton; (giggling) But it's so informative. (serious) Master.
8 Morpheus; Indeed. So you know Vivian is my son…what do you think? Put the meat ones over here.
9 Brenton; O.k….Well… the kids got good blood… but he's still a pain in the behind.
10 Morpheus; Careful, that's my pride and joy you're talking about.
11 Brenton; All the more reason to be wary…(Morpheus in breath) he could be a threat. I say we kill him now.
12 Morpheus; Perhaps…. But I think I've got a better idea. You and him are going to meet again.
Scene 3. 7.2.3 Inside the campus shop.
1 Tyra and Lizette still discussing the ball. Campus shop atmos.
2 Tyra; (groaning) Urgh. (indignant) Rejected. The cheek of it. Me! I'm by far the best date on campus.
3 Lizette; Chancer's an idiot… turning down a date with you (afterthought) and breakfast afterwards.
4 Tyra; (Snort) And for Charity… little miss frosty pants.
5 Lizette; Don't worry let me buy you a twix…(whispering)hey!
that Miles is
coming over? He's quite cute.
6 Tyra; Yeh… if you like geeky losers.
7 Miles; Hello ladies…ur.. um… mind if I join you?
8 Lizette; Sure, sit down.
9 Tyra; Hmmph
10 Miles; So…ur… you ladies looking forward to the ball.
11 Tyra; Yeh can't wait. Look (nasty) Milo Do you have a point
or did you just
come over here to try and jump the queue.
12 Miles; Ur… Yeh… actually, Tyra…well…I was kinda wondering if you have a date for the ball yet?
13 Tyra; Of course, what's it got to do with you?… (laugh)(Miles
makes
whimpering sounds) you weren't thinking that you…and me?
(Laugh more) You've got to be kidding.
14 Miles; Well(whimper)… I just thought…ur… umm… after all we've been through….
15 Tyra; Urgh… you are such a loser…
16 Miles: Ur…ooh… umm….(or general whimpering noises)
17 Tyra: Miles… time to go.
18 Miles scuttles away.
19 Lizette; I thought you wanted a date?
20 Tyra; Of course… but with Charity's cast off, I think
not.
.
21 Lizette; He seems nice… that's all.
22 Tyra; It's not a question of nice. It's my reputation on the line here.
Scene four. On the mound. 7.2.4. Dane John Gardens.
1 Brenton; Hello Chancer…9 o'clock…right on time.
2 Chancer; well… I don't like to keep the dead waiting…I hate this place, some ancient mound…what's so special about that?
3 Brenton: You should pay attention to your history, Vivian boy.
4 Chancer: It is Chancer…So?
5 Brenton: All in good time Chancer…. I think I might just grab a bite… there's the last train from London… I love those city folks… so cosmopolitan.
6 Chancer; Not gonna try and get an innocent girl to fall in love with you then?
7 Brenton; Very funny…
8 Chancer; then turn her into a blood sucking animal…
9 Brenton; Ooh Chancer… I'm hurt. Is that what you really think of us?
10 Chancer; (Sarcastic) No… really I think your fluffy and cute and not dangerous at all.
11 Brenton; Well you should know.
12 Chancer; What's that supposed to mean?
13 Brenton; How's your father?
14 Chancer; (quietly) My father is dead.
15 Brenton; Technically true…. But he still gets about a bit.
16 Chancer; (angry, grabs him) What the hell are you talking about?
17 Brenton; (whilst being throttled) Why don't you ask your mother… I believe her connection with us vampires is slightly more intimate than anyone would have expected.
18 Chancer; (threatening and close up)You're lying.
19 Brenton; Haven't you ever wondered why it is that you're so… strong?
20 Chancer: Get out of my sight (releases him and pushes him to floor) before I do something you'll never live to regret.
21 Brenton; Fine. I'm going…(getting up) but I think you should ask your mother where you really came from. (Scuttles off)
22 Chancer; (groaning, quite distraught) It can't be true.
Scene 1. OB. By a pond.
1 The Magic students are collecting ingredients for spells. Miles is in the pond.
2 Abigail: O.K. Class, remember to keep your snails and frogs separate and if any of you find frogspawn come and get me immediately it is a very delicate ingredient.
3 Miles: Why we can't just go to a magic shop like any normal person, buy these bits and pieces for ourselves.
4 Charity: Maybe Miss Williams disagrees with keeping ingredients in cages…. Maybe she likes them to be free range.
5 Miles: Yeh… or maybe she's just trying to save money… there's one….oh ur…gone. Why do I have to be in the pond (Sneezes) oh great now my allergies have started… I hate water.
6 Charity: Stop moaning milo… tell me what happened with Tyra, will you and her be dancing the night away at the Valentines ball?
7 Miles: No… I'd rather be locked in a room with the Green Goblin…
8 Charity: She turned you down then?
9 Miles: yeh… well actually it was more like she decided to rio out my heart and play basketball with it
10 Charity: Oh…poor you…look there's a frog…
11 Miles: …then not satisfied that she'd hurt me enough
12 Charity: Get it…
13 she decided to put what was left of my pride through the shredder.
14 Charity: It can't have been that bad…oh it's gone…
15 Miles: Wanna bet…Tyra is a nasty, stuck up…ur….um…girl … and I hope…I hope she falls over and…and… rips her dress at the ball.
16 Charity: Yeh… that would show her!
17 Miles: Yeh!
18 Charity: Ur talking of dresses… I don't suppose you wanna come and help me buy a dress after this?
19 Miles: Sure… why not. If I can make it out of this pond alive!
Scene 2.
In the tunnel. Music bridge with villain music.
Morpheus: Right…this should work…I've got my circle of the realm…I light the candle (lights candle) hold out my hands…palms up…and say…. (summoning) Oh hear me great one…hear my call and answer me….I summon you great one from beyond the grave….hear me oh great one….hear me…
Great One: (loud and booming) Who dares to summon me! The Great one!
Morpheus: It is I…My Lord…Your servant Morpheus.
Great One: (normal) Oh Morpheus, it's only you…you know you don't have to bother with all this summoning nonsense… that's just for mortals.
Morpheus: oh…now you tell me.
Great One: What is it you want?
Morpheus: There is a boy, Vivian. He could be dangerous.
Great one: Vivian? Isn't that a girls name?
Morpheus: No it's not, he's very manly.
Great One: What's the problem?
Morpheus: He is made of both human and Vampire blood…he could threaten the plan.
Great One: Look Morpheus, Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I don't know what's going on!
Morpheus: Huh?
Great One: You created this problem… you couldn't control yourself…now you have to deal with the consequences.
Morpheus: But…Why should I know what to do …could he in some way be of use?
Great One: If you think you can win him over…by all means try…however if he gets in the way…you know what must be done.
Morpheus: I suppose…
Great One: Now if that's everything I'm off…I was right
in the middle of a lava bath.
Good bye. (Poof Great one disappears)
Morpheus: Right then…(Shouting) Brenton! BRENTON!

Abigail: Another time maybe? I really am in terrible rush.
Clinking of glass jars as she tries to pick up all the "ingredients"

Vivian: No my birth father.
Drops jar.
Abigail: (shaky) What?
Vivian: Come on Mother, who was it?… Who was the Vampire
Abigail: (long outbreath, quietly) It's not what you think.
Vivian: (angry) Not what I think! My father's a Vampire! What else is there to think.

Miles: (chuckling) Sorry…Cha. But it is kind of a big deal…isn't it?
Charity: (Out breath) I don't know…maybe a bit.
Miles: I knew it…you like him don't you….don't you.

Vivian: What? Why?
Aurora: We vamps look after our own…you're one of us…we wanna know what you're gonna do about it?
Vivian: (Snort) Me. I'm not gonna do anything 'bout it…except maybe sharpen a stake and run it through my heart.
Aurora: That's a shame…we could have had some fun.
Vivian: Look sweetheart…I'm not interested in your kind of fun.
Aurora: No? You could've fooled me.
Vivian: What's that supposed to mean?
Aurora: Only… that I thought you were the special one. Come on Chancer…you can feel it can't you…

Miles: So?
Tyra: You are soo sad…that program is like totally unrealistic.
Miles: Well I like it….Tyra did you come here just to give me abuse or do you actually want something.
Tyra: Well…actually…Miles…I…ur…well my date for the Ball tomorrow is suddenly otherwise engaged…. and I just came to say I'll go with you if you like.
Miles: And you thought that if you came in here, completely trashed all the things I like and then told me I was a last resort…I'd still want to go with you?
Tyra: Well…yes actually.
Miles: You are unbelievable…you must be the most two faced, stuck up, pretentious, little daddy's girl I've ever met.
Tyra: Urgh…that hurt.
Miles: Good.
Tyra: So you'll take me then?
Miles: What?…Didn't you just hear what I said.

3 Girl Giggling from "Where is he"
4 Brenton; I'm here Master.
5 Morpheus; Ah Brenton, I need you to add the special sauce
to these sandwiches,
These idiots can't do it right.
5 Brenton; I brought you a present, Master.
6 Morpheus; Oooh, what is it?
7 Girl; You know I don't really fancy a sandwich…Brenty wenty…let's just go back to mine and…(gasp)
8 Morpheus; Hello my pretty.
9 Girl; Who are you?
10 Morpheus; Didn't Brenton tell you. I'm your doom…
11 Girl Dies. Die Effect
12 Morpheus; Mmm. Delicious… Brenton dear. I have decided to forgive you
13 Brenton; Does this mean I'm back in the good books?
14 Morpheus; My dear boy… you let a (disgust) human beat you…
15 Brenton; Chancer isn't human…he can't be… he's too damn strong.
16 Morpheus; Stronger than a Vampire? I think not.
17 Brenton; (sulkily) Almost… I hit him really hard and he hardly flinched.
18 Morpheus; (deep in thought) Interesting… this is the professor's boy?
19 Brenton; Yeh…but she chucked out of the school…
somethin' to do with the dark
arts… I think.
20 Morpheus; Well…(suddenly assertive) let us not worry
about him…you are
forgiven continue with your work as planned…. I will see
you shortly.
21 Morpheus Exits.
22 Brenton; Hmm. That was odd… what's he up to? I'm gonna find out.

1 WE ARE OUTSIDE. WE HEAR AN OWL AND FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING. FOOTSTEPS STOP. WE HEAR BREATHING.
2 Abigail; Position 4 (gasp) Who's there?
3 Morpheus; Position 2 Hello Abigail.
4 Abigail; (SHOCK Approaching to position 3) Morpheus…. How did you… (ANGRY)I thought I told you I never wanted to see you again.
5 Morpheus; Tut tut tut…no need to get shirty. Circumstances have changed now.
6 Abigail; Nothings changed…it's all in the past and that's where it stays.
7 Morpheus; That would be fine… but you and I both know there's more to it than that
8 Abigail: I got over you a long time ago.
9 Morpheus: Don't flatter yourself dear… it's not you I'm interested in.
10 Abigail: Then what…
11 Morpheus; Rumour has it you have a son.
12 Abigail; You stay away from Vivian.
13 Morpheus; (Sharp) Or what? No I didn't think so. Apparently Chancer is a pretty good fighter.
14 Abigail; So. I taught him to protect himself, from the likes of you.
15 Morpheus; Really? (losing his temper) Do you think I'm stupid Abigail? Or did you just think I wouldn't care? (controlled again) However I think right now I might be ready to show the boy some Fatherly affection. What do you think?
16 Abigail; If you lay one hand on him…(scary) I swear you'll live to regret it.
17 Morpheus; Hopefully my dear I won't have to.
Scene One. OUTSIDE CAMPUS SHOP. 7.2.1 Tyra and Lizette.
1. Tyra and Lizette are hanging around outside the shop.
2 Lizette: (Laughing) Still no date Tyra?
3 Tyra; I know three days to the The Valentines ball and
4 Tyra and Lizette: still no date.
5 Lizette; But at least you've got your Karen Millen dress!… Don't worry Ty, some one will ask you soon
6 Tyra; I don't want to go with any of the losers on campus… but I gotta getta date man.
7 Lizette; Yeh but those guys are just scared.
8 Tyra; (irritated) Oh blah… this is turning into an emergency.
9 Lizette; (Sighing) Oh look, there's Chancer, he is SO Fit.
10 Tyra; hmm… Now he would be the perfect date…
11 Lizette; Wouldn't he just… (swooning) the girl that gets him is a lucky girl.
12 Tyra; Well… I'm sure he wants to ask me… maybe I'll just go and remind him.
13 Tyra Leaves.
14 Lizette; (sarcastically) Good Luck.
Scene 2. The Tunnel. 7.2.2 Underscoring Villain music. They are packing sandwiches
1 Morpheus: Eavesdropping, my dear Brenton…No don't mix up the meat and vegetarian sandwiches.
2 Brenton: Sorry master…but I can't remember which colour for which.
3 Brenton makes acknowledging noises, throughout this speech.
4 Morpheus: (Sighing) My dear boy it's quite simple. Meat sandwiches have a pink label, think of it as pink for the blood of the meat. Fish sandwiches, the sea, are blue. Vegetarian, mostly cheese which is yellow and then the vegan ones which are basically salad are green. It's not difficult.
5 Brenton: O.K. That helps, thankyou master…er what were you saying?
6 Morpheus; Urm…Oh yes… Eavesdropping is a most
despicable
habit…Especially when you are listening to my conversations…
Don't do it again.
7 Brenton; (giggling) But it's so informative. (serious) Master.
8 Morpheus; Indeed. So you know Vivian is my son…what do you think? Put the meat ones over here.
9 Brenton; O.k….Well… the kids got good blood… but he's still a pain in the behind.
10 Morpheus; Careful, that's my pride and joy you're talking about.
11 Brenton; All the more reason to be wary…(Morpheus in breath) he could be a threat. I say we kill him now.
12 Morpheus; Perhaps…. But I think I've got a better idea. You and him are going to meet again.
Scene 3. 7.2.3 Inside the campus shop.
1 Tyra and Lizette still discussing the ball. Campus shop atmos.
2 Tyra; (groaning) Urgh. (indignant) Rejected. The cheek of it. Me! I'm by far the best date on campus.
3 Lizette; Chancer's an idiot… turning down a date with you (afterthought) and breakfast afterwards.
4 Tyra; (Snort) And for Charity… little miss frosty pants.
5 Lizette; Don't worry let me buy you a twix…(whispering)hey!
that Miles is
coming over? He's quite cute.
6 Tyra; Yeh… if you like geeky losers.
7 Miles; Hello ladies…ur.. um… mind if I join you?
8 Lizette; Sure, sit down.
9 Tyra; Hmmph
10 Miles; So…ur… you ladies looking forward to the ball.
11 Tyra; Yeh can't wait. Look (nasty) Milo Do you have a point
or did you just
come over here to try and jump the queue.
12 Miles; Ur… Yeh… actually, Tyra…well…I was kinda wondering if you have a date for the ball yet?
13 Tyra; Of course, what's it got to do with you?… (laugh)(Miles
makes
whimpering sounds) you weren't thinking that you…and me?
(Laugh more) You've got to be kidding.
14 Miles; Well(whimper)… I just thought…ur… umm… after all we've been through….
15 Tyra; Urgh… you are such a loser…
16 Miles: Ur…ooh… umm….(or general whimpering noises)
17 Tyra: Miles… time to go.
18 Miles scuttles away.
19 Lizette; I thought you wanted a date?
20 Tyra; Of course… but with Charity's cast off, I think
not.
.
21 Lizette; He seems nice… that's all.
22 Tyra; It's not a question of nice. It's my reputation on the line here.
Scene four. On the mound. 7.2.4. Dane John Gardens.
1 Brenton; Hello Chancer…9 o'clock…right on time.
2 Chancer; well… I don't like to keep the dead waiting…I hate this place, some ancient mound…what's so special about that?
3 Brenton: You should pay attention to your history, Vivian boy.
4 Chancer: It is Chancer…So?
5 Brenton: All in good time Chancer…. I think I might just grab a bite… there's the last train from London… I love those city folks… so cosmopolitan.
6 Chancer; Not gonna try and get an innocent girl to fall in love with you then?
7 Brenton; Very funny…
8 Chancer; then turn her into a blood sucking animal…
9 Brenton; Ooh Chancer… I'm hurt. Is that what you really think of us?
10 Chancer; (Sarcastic) No… really I think your fluffy and cute and not dangerous at all.
11 Brenton; Well you should know.
12 Chancer; What's that supposed to mean?
13 Brenton; How's your father?
14 Chancer; (quietly) My father is dead.
15 Brenton; Technically true…. But he still gets about a bit.
16 Chancer; (angry, grabs him) What the hell are you talking about?
17 Brenton; (whilst being throttled) Why don't you ask your mother… I believe her connection with us vampires is slightly more intimate than anyone would have expected.
18 Chancer; (threatening and close up)You're lying.
19 Brenton; Haven't you ever wondered why it is that you're so… strong?
20 Chancer: Get out of my sight (releases him and pushes him to floor) before I do something you'll never live to regret.
21 Brenton; Fine. I'm going…(getting up) but I think you should ask your mother where you really came from. (Scuttles off)
22 Chancer; (groaning, quite distraught) It can't be true.
Scene 1. OB. By a pond.
1 The Magic students are collecting ingredients for spells. Miles is in the pond.
2 Abigail: O.K. Class, remember to keep your snails and frogs separate and if any of you find frogspawn come and get me immediately it is a very delicate ingredient.
3 Miles: Why we can't just go to a magic shop like any normal person, buy these bits and pieces for ourselves.
4 Charity: Maybe Miss Williams disagrees with keeping ingredients in cages…. Maybe she likes them to be free range.
5 Miles: Yeh… or maybe she's just trying to save money… there's one….oh ur…gone. Why do I have to be in the pond (Sneezes) oh great now my allergies have started… I hate water.
6 Charity: Stop moaning milo… tell me what happened with Tyra, will you and her be dancing the night away at the Valentines ball?
7 Miles: No… I'd rather be locked in a room with the Green Goblin…
8 Charity: She turned you down then?
9 Miles: yeh… well actually it was more like she decided to rio out my heart and play basketball with it
10 Charity: Oh…poor you…look there's a frog…
11 Miles: …then not satisfied that she'd hurt me enough
12 Charity: Get it…
13 she decided to put what was left of my pride through the shredder.
14 Charity: It can't have been that bad…oh it's gone…
15 Miles: Wanna bet…Tyra is a nasty, stuck up…ur….um…girl … and I hope…I hope she falls over and…and… rips her dress at the ball.
16 Charity: Yeh… that would show her!
17 Miles: Yeh!
18 Charity: Ur talking of dresses… I don't suppose you wanna come and help me buy a dress after this?

Great One: (loud and booming) Who dares to summon me! The Great one!
Morpheus: It is I…My Lord…Your servant Morpheus.
Great One: (normal) Oh Morpheus, it's only you…you know you don't have to bother with all this summoning nonsense… that's just for mortals.
Morpheus: oh…now you tell me.
Great One: What is it you want?
Morpheus: There is a boy, Vivian. He could be dangerous.
Great one: Vivian? Isn't that a girls name?
Morpheus: No it's not, he's very manly.
Great One: What's the problem?
Morpheus: He is made of both human and Vampire blood…he could threaten the plan.
Great One: Look Morpheus, Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I don't know what's going on!
Morpheus: Huh?
Great One: You created this problem… you couldn't control yourself…now you have to deal with the consequences.
Morpheus: But…Why should I know what to do …could he in some way be of use?
Great One: If you think you can win him over…by all means try…however if he gets in the way…you know what must be done.
Morpheus: I suppose…
Great One: Now if that's everything I'm off…I was right
in the middle of a lava bath.

Aurora: That's a shame…we could have had some fun.
Vivian: Look sweetheart…I'm not interested in your kind of fun.
Aurora: No? You could've fooled me.
Vivian: What's that supposed to mean?
Aurora: Only… that I thought you were the special one. Come on Chancer…you can feel it can't you…

Tyra: So you'll take me then?
Miles: What?…Didn't you just hear what I said.
