Scene 1: The Chemistry class
We’re in a chemistry lesson where two bullies are threatening two boys.
Tom
Hi pal, I hope you can run really fast.
Pete
Why?
Emma
Well, you wouldn’t want us to catch up with you would you?
Louise
Why are you so mean to us? What have we done to you?
Tom
Nothing, we just don’t like you.
Emma
Or rather we love not liking you
The bullies walk away laughing as the teacher comes in
Tom
Hi Mr Palpo. I hope you’re well.
Mr Palpo
Thank you for asking Tom, you’re always so considerate
Emma
That’s because you’re always so considerate with us Sir
Mr Palpo
You two are always so kind
In another corner Pete and Louise are discussing the issue and are overheard by a number of others.
Pete
It really get’s on my nerves. They manage to convince the teachers that they’re nice people, instead they’re making our lives a misery.
George
Guys I couldn’t help overhearing you. I agree with you. The teachers are blind to it.
Ella
I’ve spoken to the teachers about it and they just tell me that I’m exaggerating.
Tim
Well if the teachers don’t listen what hope have we got?
Pete
Errrmmm. Pretty much zero.
Louise
Pete can I have a quick word. You’re so right, however, I’ve got a secret to share with you that may be able to help with our problem with them…
Pete
Really? Can’t you tell the others?
Louise
No
Pete
What is it?
Louise
An invisibility potion
Pete
What?
Louise
You heard me, a potion that makes you invisible.
Pete
Yeah right.
Louise
You don’t believe me and I don’t blame you but drink it and try it. What have you got to lose?
Pete
You have a point. Give it here.
Louise hands a little glass to Pete and he drinks it. Then looks at his arms and body.
Pete
It’s rubbish. Doesn’t work.
Louise
Ummmmn. I must have got the calculation wrong.
Pete
Maybe you’re not the genius that you thought you were.
Then the bell goes. The good guys walk out
Pete
Right, we better run, they’re after us.
They rush out of the class with the bullies in pursuit
We see a long chase take place.
At one point we see the good guys run round a corner and they fade into invisibility. The bullies run round the corner and are totally puzzled as to where the goodies have disappeared to. They are looking everywhere, talking takes place between them but they eventually give up.
Emma
Where the heck have they gone?
Tom
They can’t have disappeared just like that.
Emma
So they think that they can fool us and get away with it?
Tom
They haven’t got to know us well enough yet. They will after this.
They walk off
Pete
Oooh, I’m scared. Don’t they realise that we now have superpowers.
Louise
They will after this.
They both laugh
Pete
Is this actually real?
Louise
Yes, we are indeed invisible.
Pete
This is amazing, I apologise for doubting you, it looks like you are the genius you claimed after all.
Louise
I can hear you but I can’t see you
Pete
Can we pick up things?
Louise
I dunno, I’ll give It a try, I’m sure we can, we’re not ghosts.
Pete picks up a plant pot. We see this plant pot going around of it’s own accord. Louise throws it up in the air and just when we think it’s going to smash onto the floor it get’s caught (invisibly)
Scene 2: The Bullies Karma
Pete
Right time to get our own back on the bullies.
Louise
Well perfect timing they’re just about to pick their next victim
Pete
Do you know what. I’ve got the perfect plan
We see the bullies, again they are picking on a victim. The victim is cornered and the two bullies are demanding money.
Tom
Oi you give me your lunch money
George
But all I’ve got is this bag of crips and I’m really hungry
Emma
Oh, you poor thing. You’re hungry. Well let me take just one.
In fact Emma takes the whole packet, grabs one and eats it, passes one to Tom and then empties the crisps onto the floor
Emma
Oops that’s a shame. I appear to have dropped them on the floor. Well If you’re still hungry you better be quick before the ants get them.
Camera looks to the floor. We see the crisps scattered. And we see the shoe laces of the bullies getting tied together.
Louise then whispers into the ear of the victim while the bullies are laughing. The victim looks shocked and puzzled to hear the whispering but follows the instructions and runs.
Louise
Don’t be alarmed, you can’t see me. Trust me these bullies won’t be able to come after you so run now.
The victim turns and runs. The bullies try to run after her but they fall on the floor. Everyone starts laughing. The bullies look down to their feet.
Tom
How did our feet end up tied together?
Emma
I don’t know but something paranormal is happening here.
Scene 3: The Bullies
We’re in the canteen focused on three people eating
Tim
That was amazing what happened yesterday when Tom and Emma were picking on you.
George
I know. Everyone couldn’t stop laughing. They really got what they deserved.
Ella
How did you do it?
George
I didn’t do anything. It’s really weird, paranormal really. I heard a voice whisper in my ear and told me to run but there was no one there. I did as the voice said and somehow their shoe laces had been tied together.
Jim
It’s like an angel is looking after you.
George
It is, however, there’s a problem. The teachers now think that it’s Tom and Emma who are being bullied.
Ella
So the teachers have never thought that we were victims of bullying but now they actually think the bullies are victims of bullying?
George
Exactly
Ella
That’s crazy.
George
The thing I want to know is. After what happened yesterday have they learned their lesson or will they carry on doing it?
We see Tom and Emma walking in.
Ella
I’ve got a feeling we’re about to get the answer to that question.
Tom and Emma walk over to them and without saying anything go and put salt and pepper in their deserts and start laughing.
Tom
Emma. We’re genius.
Emma
Why?
Tom
These teachers man, they still think we’re some goody two shoes.
Emma
Yep, in fact more than that, they actually think we’re the victims.I think we deserve an Oscar.
Tom
More than one I think.
They go and sit down at a table ready to eat their desert. Without them knowing Pete and Louise (invisible) go up behind them and tap their shoulders.
Suddenly they both turn round and look behind them and both say
Emma and Tom
why did you tap me on the shoulder.
I didn’t.
Yes you did.
They carry on eating
Then it happens again
They look round
As they’re looking round we see salt and pepper pot’s being emptied on their deserts.
Emma
Well it wasn’t me.
Tom
It wasn’t me either.
They start to eat and we see both their faces change as the taste of salt and pepper hits.
Scene 4: Caught out
We hear a conversation between the goodies.
Louise
We’ve got a problem
Pete
What is it?
Louise
We don’t have much potion left, it’s run out much faster than I thought
Pete
Can’t you make some more?
Louise
The schools run out of one of the key ingredients
They look down at their arms
Pete
Oh my god we’re fading into visibility
The bullies suddenly turn up
Tom
Right, you’ve been sussed
The goodies are walking backwards in fear and are now cornered
Emma
See if you can disappear out of this one now
Bullies are laughing. We slowly see the bullies approaching and the goodies be trapped.
Suddenly the bullies mysteriously get pulled back. By who?
They try to run but they end up up ending themselves and falling on the floor.
Then we see the teacher come into visibility and declares to the goodies
Mr Palpo
Guys, I worked out what you had done. I have to admit, coming up with an invisibility potion is genius. However I am now banning the potion from the school. I’m afraid we need to destroy it.
Louise
But sir, it’s brilliant and we used it for good
Mr Palpo
Well, we can argue that but If this get’s in the wrong hands the consequences will be horrendous” Promise me now that you will never use the potion again.
Pete
But sir
Mr Palpo
Promise me
Pete & Louise
Oh ok, we promise
Then Mr Palpo turns to the baddies
Mr Palpo
Guys, I actually thought that you were model students, but I’ve been watching you while invisible in the last week and I’ve seen all the bullying that you’ve been doing, and you’re coming with me right now to the headmasters office and your parents are going to hear about this
They all walk off scene. Suddenly we see a glass of tango floating through the air, stop, and then we see a person (the first victim) appear. They turn to the camera and say
George
Well, good job I didn’t promise not to use the potion
Then winks to the camera
