Well...I have come up with a few ideas. It will be issued as a serial cause it's too big for one post. Just about everyone is included. All of you regular posters get big scenes. No fighting now! Remember not everyone can get a scene with Lucas--most do though. Here are some highlights in episode I. DJ RanaRoyale starts us off in the morning with fax and phone favorites. Sister Grimm and Chris Wallace get a visit from Gail and Lucas. And Silverwolf chats with Dr. Matt. More of you show up in episode II so stay tuned. BTW, some of your names have cameo appearences so stay sharp. Scene 1 --Boarding House 9:00am Saturday Wake up Trinity (whistle cucko clock sound) RanaRoyale here with your fax and phone favorites. I'd like to congradulate my predecessor, Gloria, on her new job replacing Kathy Lee Gifford on Regis & Kathy Lee. Make that Regis & Gloria. Our first request is from BP to SC--Paul Simon's 50 Ways to leave your Lover. (song plays) Caleb walks down the hall and enters the kitchen during Rana's message to Trinity. He gets some OJ and puts some toast in the toaster. The toast pops up but sticks. He tries to pry it with a knife and is thrown across the room and falls to the floor unconscious. Scene 2 Trinity Public Library 9:00am Gail enters to find Sister Grimm begin her story hour in the children's room. SG: And the big bad wolf huffed and puffed...but the Sheriff comes up behind the wolf with a big shovel and... Gail has heard that the "Old Carnegie style building" is "big on local history" and has the largest collection in the area. Chris shows Gail the reference section. Suddenly Gail doesn't look too well. CW: Honey, you don't look so well. You feelin' sick? Gail: I'll be all right. All of a sudden I feel like...It's probably nothing. Scene 3 Boarding House 9:03 Loris: Rose! Julie! Tony! Gen! Breakfast is ready. (walks into kitchen and sees Caleb on the floor) Oh, my lord!! Caleb, you hear me? (he's unresponsive) Becky, you call an ambulance right away. Becky: Should I call the Sheriff. LH: I reckon you better or we'll catch hell for it. Scene 4 Juniper House 9:05 Silverwolf: Dr. Crower? MC: Yes? SW: I've got some cards for you. MC: How long am I going to be in here? SW (looking sad) Well you know if it were up to me you would be out of here by now (and resting comfortably at my place). MC: I'll be. I got a get well card from Govenor Rami, Mayor Cassidy, and the Fulton County Hospital Administrator CBS. (mutters to self) Like they care. SW: Anything I can do for you before I leave? MC: No, Dr Silverwolf. I just want to thank you for being so kind to me. SW: Don't you worry, Dr. Crower. You'll be out of here in no time. (POV Matt) Silverwolf walks away down the corridor. To be continued... Next episode: Gail discovers a shocking photo in an old book and a startling surprise about the Buck family tree. Lucas visits the library staff. An editor snags an interview with Dr. Crower. Dr Crower is freed by someone you know. And a fella named Gilson, member of THEY, turns his back on buck and justice does as always in Trinity prevails.

Scene 6 Sheriff Buck's office (Interior of Sheriff's office Lucas walks towards the door.) Lucas: Mind the store, Ben. I'm goin' out. Ben: Where you goin' Lucas? Lucas: Library. My video has come in. (Lucas exits. Phone rings.) Ben: Mornin' Ms. Holt. Caleb Temple! What happened? Naw the Sheriff ain't here. I'll try and catch him on the radio. Scene 7 Trinity Public Library 9:18am Gail: This can't be right. There is no mention of a Buck family prior to 1958! There is no Buck family at all except for Lucas. Let's see, Emery's go back to...Hmm I wonder if Mother's maiden name is in here. (she flips pages and switches to a 2nd vol. She opens the book to pages of pictures of prominent families in Trinity from the 19th century.) Oh my God! (a close up of the picture reveals a woman who looks exactly like Gail and a man who could be a dead ringer for Lucas. But the picture is over 100 yrs old and the names are different. Suddenly Gail hears Lucas' voice she remains hidden in the reference alcove.) Lucas: Hello, Darlin. Chris: Lucas Buck! What brings you by? Lucas:(smiles) Oh, I believe you know that, Chris. {I can't believe I am writing this. See what evil CBS has unleashed :)} Chris: You mean this. (She holds up the Brady Bunch Movie) Sister Grimm: Evil! Pure Evil! Lucas: Ma'am? SG: Parents that get along never argue. Six kids all cheerful and happy. It perpetuates the evil in this world. I'm going on a break now that my story hour is over. You want anything, Chris. Chris: Naw. Thanks anyway. Lucas: Mind if I walk you to your car? SG: (smiles) It would be a pleasure, Sheriff.

Joey: Around the corner and take a left then straight down the hall. Room 120. Vivi: You go I'll make sure the nurse is preoccupied. Joey: Dr. Crower, may we speak with you? MC: (sleepy like he just got up) Huh? What about? Vivi: Why did you try to shoot Lucas? MC: Oh no not this again. Joey: What do you mean again? MC: A week ago, a reporter from the newspaper came to ask me a few questions. Vivi: The Trinity Times. MC: No the Trinity Guardian. Joey: (gasp) Whoever they were, they were not from the Guardian. MC: I thought there was no "they" in Trinity. (Joey & Vivi exchange glances of concern) Scene 9 Lucas' Office (Lucas reenters) Ben: Lucas, there's a woman in your office. Oh and... Lucas: Oh! (smiles) Hold my calls, Ben. Ben: Lucas...(Lucas enters office and shuts door. Woman has her back to door. She cannot be clearly seen and prefers it that way) Parateam: Gilson's alive. Lucas: That's impossible. His car went off Johnson's Bridge. Parateam: He didn't. THEY could destroy us. Lucas: There is no "THEY" in Trinity. I took care of it. Parateam:(leaving) Your overconficence is your weakness. Lucas on phone: Selena, I've got a job for you. Next time: Gilson meets the Gargoyles. Lucas visits Caleb in the hospital.

I hadn't thought you noticed me. Selena: Oh, I notice everything, honey. (she stops to light a cigarette) Like how you been following Lucas around spyin' on him. Gilson: Spying?! You've got it wrong. I work for Lucas. (Selena opens the iron gate with an old skeleton key and enters. Gilson follows) Gilson: Hey! There are no lights in here. Selena: Afraid of the dark? Gilson: No, of course not. What the ... (sees a hideous glowing figure that seems to move yet remained in the same spot.) Selena:(smiles) Uh huh. It's only a statue. You never should have betrayed Lucas. (She walks back to the iron gate and shuts it behind her locking it.) Gilson: Selena, wait! (He tries the door but its locked) Open the door, Selena. (A crow lands on the gate above his head.) Go away! Shoo! (The crow flies up and behind him. Gilson turns round to find several hideous gargoyles with sharp claws and fangs close in on him.) HELP!! Ahhhh! (scream fades out.

There is a nurses station nearby and in view. Lucas rushes in after learning from Ben that Caleb was taken to the hospital after being electricuted by the toaster.) (Nurse Dana is hurriedly leaving Caleb's room only to literally run into Lucas' arms.) Lucas: Where's the fire Ms.... (She has run into him with her arms about his chest for balance. Dana: Oh I am...Dana I am awfully sorry I... Lucas: (smiles) You look upset, Dana. How is my--the boy doing? Dana: Well it's so sad. He's such a beautiful young boy and all. Lucas (anxiously still holding her arms) What?! Dana: He hasn't regained consciousness yet. Thing is he's the spitting image of my Daniel. Lucas: Who's the Doctor? Dana: Oh, um, Dr. Peale took this one special. (Just then Lucas spots Billy and Selena looking very cozy entering the corridor. Billy has spotted him but Selena hasn't. Lucas throws his weight gently against nurse Dana and backs her up against the wall. He grabs her head in his hands and kisses her hard on the mouth in full view of everyone in the corridor.

Lucas tries to enter after letting a disheavled nurse Dana go. {just so there's no confusion I mean enter Caleb's room}) Nurse Kelly: Excuse me, sir. You can't go in there. Doctor's orders. Lucas: Do you know who I am? Kelly: You tryin' to be a wise guy mister? I'll call security. Lucas: I'm the sheriff of Trinity. Are you new in town? (brushes past her into the room. Caleb is hooked up to a heart moniter and an IV unit. Lucas goes over to the bed and sits down. He takes his left hand and tenderly brushes back a lock of Caleb's hair away from his eyes.) Lucas: Caleb, you hear me, boy? (His voice is strained with a sob) Caleb? Billy: Don't you ever listen, Buck? Nurse Kelly told you no one is allowed in here. Lucas: (angry and upset) The rules don't apply to me. What are you still doing here. Doesn't the CDC need you back in Atlanta or wherever? Billy: Oh I don't know. This place is starting to grow on me. Lucas: Yeah well go plant yourself somewhere else. Trinity has enough meddling doctors. Billy: This doesn't have anything to do with Selena does it. Lucas(smirk): How's Caleb? Why isn't this boy conscious? Billy: I don't know. It's been a shock to his sistem. He'll come around soon enough--when he's ready. Lucas: That's not good enough, doctor. (commotion outside in the corridor makes Billy leave. Lucas places a hand on Caleb's chest and one on his forehead *weird music* Caleb starts to come around. He's muttering Dr. Matt, Dr. Matt) Lucas: Caleb? (but Caleb does not respond. He's conscious yet he's not. Lucas decides there is only one thing left to do. He leaves the room and goes back into the corridor. to be continued... Next time: The big Gothnic list people scene. This is where most of you who haven't yet had a part show up.

Tony: You know how much I appreciate that loan, Lucas. Lucas: Don't you worry. Down the road I may ask for a small favor is all. Peale: (glances sideways at Lucas, rolls eyes) Lucas: Andy, Brian.

(She thanks him again with a kiss. Her hands slide down his black cashmere vest until they reach--a woman's hand. (Dr.Siucra has arrived and is plenty unhappy with the lack of proper medical attention being given to Lucas Buck, Sheriff of Trinity.

She takes a pocket knife from her purse opens it and slices through his pant leg. She slices upward on the outside edge of his right pant leg much to Lucas' protest. Blood has dried on his pants.

She walks to Lucas and speaks with him. Confident that she knows who the shooter is she is ready to apprehend the suspect.) Scene 22 Caleb's Room Caleb: What happened? Matt: I don't know. But there are a lot of women in the parking lot gathered around Lucas. Caleb: Was that a gun shot? Matt: (Not entirely convinced) No. I think it was probably a car backfiring or something.

Caleb: Thanks! (Rebecca sits down on the edge of his bed. Matt excuses himself smiling affectionately at Rebecca and Caleb. Scene 23 Outside Caleb's Room Matt: Kelly? Kelly: Matt!

You were saying, Gen? Gen: Well there was blood and then there wasn't. Gayle: How could the Sheriff not have been hit at that close range? The blood was on his pants. Gail: I saw the bullet hit Lucas. Roxanne: Your suspect is getting away. Heather/Janis: I'm Janis. What did you say? Heather: I thought your name was Heather like mine. Janis: Heather is my middle name. Roxanne: She's getting away. Janis & Heather: Who? Roxanne: The woman in black. She fired the gun. I saw the gun in her hand from where I work at WIX across the street. Janis: You saw her with the gun in her hand? (Gen slips her hand in her purse. The gun was still there. She had to get rid of it. But she couldn't leave just now it would look suspicious) Gen: (to herself) I wonder how many of us here have a gun? Scene 25 Barbara's House Ben: Waylin(SP) {I forgot his name sorry} You come on out now. I've got my grey gun. I'm coming in there. Barbara! Barbara: No Ben don't he's got a gun. Waylin: Shut up!(Barbara screams) (Ben rushes up the front steps and into the house to find Barbara on the floor Waylin towering over her with a rifle. Waylin: Come on, Deputy Dog. Show me what a big man you are. Barbara: He's drunk. He don't mean no harm (sobs) (Waylin slaps her. Ben rushes to stop him from hitting Barbara while trying to get the gun out of Waylin's hands. Lucas drives up. He walks through the door as Ben and Waylin are struggling over the gun. Eerie gothic music. Ben is knocked to the floor. Waylin staggers backward. He aims the rifle at Ben. More gothic music. Two shots are fired.) Barbara: BEN! Scene 26 Selena's New Pet (He woke up in the iron dark on his back. He was cold and hungry. His left arm had fallen asleep giving him pain. His nose itched he wanted to scratch it but his hands were handcuffed to the bedpost behind him. A loud noise somewhere in the distance and then a light. Footsteps on the stairs. He was in a basement but where? He saw the pumps first then her legs then her skirt then...Selena! He pulled at the cuffs again. No use. His head ached. What happened. All he remembered were these odd shapes, fangs, and then the blackness. Selena: (Places her hand on his forehead) Can I get you anything? Coffee, tea, me? (she whispers seductively. She crawls over him on the bed. Her breasts brusing his naked chest.(What had happened to his clothes?) She leaned over and blew in his ear {hey it's a PG list folks make of it what you will} She placed her hands on his cheeks and kissed him. He wanted so much to touch her but the cuffs held fast. Suddenly he became alarmed. He felt her teeth close in on his tongue just as her hand slipped under his jeans. Selena! (a woman's voice far off in the distance) Selena! (closer) Selena: Julie? Gilson: Julie?! (What was she doing here and how did she know Selena?) Julie: You let him go Selena. Selena & Gilson: NO! Lucas:No? Gilson: (to himself) Oh no! Where did he come from? He was in big trouble now. He had to get out of here. He tugged on the cuffs. The threat of Julie, Lucas, and Selena's teeth made him lose control of his bladder. Next time: Gilson's in a pickle. Waylin meets his maker. Ben and little Ben meet up with Caleb, Rebecca, Kelly, Dana, and Dr. Matt. ++++++++++++++++++++ Subj: AG- Gothniks in Trinity XI (11) Date: 96-04-22 00:37:17 EDT From: CWAL5845@URIACC.URI.EDU (chris wallace) Sender: owner-agothic@stargame.org To: agothic@stargame.org Last time in Trinity: Roxanne blew the whistle on the woman in black. Gen concealed her gun at the crime scene. Two shots were fired at Barbara's house home of Ben's ex-wife. Lucas seemed to be in two places at the same time. Gilson became Selena's new pet. Scene 26(continued)Selena's basement Lucas: (to Selena) What have I told you about keeping pets, Selena? Selena: (slinking up close to Lucas) I just couldn't hurt him. Can't I keep him? (she purrs) Lucas: He's dangerous. THEY are dangerous. You go on upstairs now, both of you. (indicating Julie) (Realizing they have no choice Julie and Selena head upstairs. Lucas stops Julie.) Lucas: Don't I know you from somewhere? Julie: The hospital. I'm Selena's sister. Gilson& Lucas: Sister!?! Lucas: You never told me you had a sister, Selena. Selena: (angry at not getting to keep her pet yet again) You never asked. (they leave). Scene 27 Upstairs in Selena's house Julie: Thank you for not telling Lucas I'm with Gilson and THEY. Selena: Don't stay in Trinity too long, sister dear. Scene 28 Downstairs in Selena's house Lucas: You've been a real pain, Gilson. Gilson: I can help you. Lucas: You help me? How do you figure that in your situation, Gilson. Gilson: I can get you access to the files on you and your kind. THEY have been watching you for over a hundred years now. And those like you...longer. Lucas:(something changes in his face) he stares hard at the handcuffs and they suddenly fall to the ground with a metalic clang) Lucas: Get the files, Gilson. But don't even think of double crossing by by leaving Trinity. You won't make it to Goat Town, son. (Lucas leaves. Gilson sighs in relief. That was close. Too close.) Scene 29 Selena's house upstairs Selena: Lucas. Lucas (whisper) I thought you had taken care of him. Selena: (whisper) I did exactly as you said in the garden but he fell and hit his head when he ran from whatever it was he saw. I couldn't just leave him there. Lucas: No. But watch out for him. He's dangerous. Selena: Not to me. Scene 30 Hospital outside Caleb's Room Little Ben: Hi Caleb I heard from my daddy that you were here. Caleb: Hi, Ben. This is Rebecca. This here is Nurse Kelly. And that over there is Nurse Dana. (smiles) and this here is Dr. Matt. Matt: Hi, Ben. You okay? Ben: My stepdaddy's been killed. Matt: What? Was Lucas there? Ben: The Sheriff? Yeah guess so. My daddy done it. Matt: Your daddy? Ben? Ben shot Waylin? Ben: (trying not to cry) Matt: Ben why don't you come out here with me and we'll find you a place to be alone. Would you like that?

Ben: (very upset) I...I didn't mean to (looks at Barbara who is in tears) Barbara, you've got to believe me. Peale: I meant what happened to your hand? Ben: Gun powder. See, I went in afraid for Barbara (looks to her. She looks away from him) and Waylin had his rifle. I told him to put it down but then...(looks at Barbara) Well he refused and I had to take action. Peale: you wrestled with Waylin over the rifle? Ben: Yeah (looks at bandaged hand) Peale: He shot you? Ben: It's all a blur now. Since Lucas walked in... Matt: The Sheriff was there? That figures. (Ben and Matt exchange meaningful glances) {Just so we're on the same page. I ment no homoerotic suggestion} Peale: Take it easy on the hand. Ben: Since when did the CDC take an interest in gunshot wounds? Peale: I do. Everything about this town interests me. (Matt leaves the room and goes out into the hall.) Scene 32 Hospital corridor Dana: Caleb has been asking for you. And that Connie woman is still here fussing about taking Caleb with her. Matt: The social worker? Dana: Something like that. Matt? Matt: Yes? Dana: Is there any chance for us? Kelly: (overheard conversation from around the corner) What do you mean, Matt? Matt: Kelly, I have something to tell you... Kelly: It's that librarian isn't it? {YES!} You've been marking her page with your bookmark, haven't you? Lucas: (grinning) Why don't you let me take care of the librarian. {Even better! You didn't really think I would leave myself out of this did you?} (Dana and Kelly leave in a huff.) Lucas: (smiling) You have the darnedest luck, Harvard. Scene 33 Caleb's Hospital Room Lucas: Don't you worry, son. You will be out of here in no time. Caleb: Is Dr. Matt gonna come back to the boarding house? Lucas: Well... Caleb: Please. Lucas: Maybe. You rest now. Caleb: (Grabs hold of Lucas as he starts to get up from the bed) Please, Father, don't let Dr. Matt go back there. (He begins to sob on Lucas' shoulder. Matt walks in.) Caleb: Please, Father. (Matt is stunned, he leaves immediately. No wonder. All this time. His Father! Lucas exits Caleb's room only to run into Matt.) Matt: Why didn't you tell me? Scene 34 Lucas' House Joey: You go around to the back. Vivi: Wait I think it's loose. Joey: I tried. It won't budge. Cindy: Can I help you ladies. I saw you from the sidewalk. Vivi: (trying to act natural) Oh...um...sure. Joey: We were just cleaning up around the yard here. You know, weeds need pulling, gargoyles need polishing, windows need fixing. Cindy: Look at these windows! Poor craftsmanship. See here, you can just about lift that plate of glass right out of there. Vivi: How do you mean. (Cindy demonstrates the poor craftsmanship of the window.) Cindy: You tell your boss I can get you windows much better than these. At a good price too. Joey: Uh...okay. Vivi: Sure. (Cindy leaves her business card and leaves.) Vivi: Okay I got the window plate out. Joey: I got it. (The door is open. They enter Lucas' house. Outside Ariane watches. She spots a lonely gargoyle in the corner. It has been neglected for some time. Trying to hide it behind her she leaves with the gargoyle unnoticed.) Vivi: Where's the shovel? Joey: Oh no. I forgot the shovel. (As they turn to leave they run into a woman in a black rain coat. A gun handle can be clearly seen protruding from her rain coat pocket.) Joey & Vivi: (scream)...

Angela: I could ask you the same question. Did you bring the shovel? Vivi: Ah (glances at Joey) Yes, of course. Joey: Are you implying we would forget our shovel? (to herself: Well, Lucas had to have a shovel around here somewhere) Vivi: You are the one, aren't you? Scene 36 Outside Lucas' Home (Gail walks by Lucas' house having taken a break from the hospital. She stops by the gate glancing into the garden. She has a flashback. Ripping Lucas' shirt. Standing on a pedestal. Lying on the ground, leaves crunching beneath her. Gargoyles. She paused and pushed the gate aside. Gail hesitated again but decided to enter. Crossing the garden she stood in the center looking around her. Just as she was about to leave she noticed a plate of glass on the grass. Approaching the window she noticed that the door was ajar. She pushed the door open. Walking around Lucas' home was nothing like what she expected. The furniture was antique. Victorian she thought. Ornamental jars vases bowls and assorted nicknacks adorned the tables and walls. Few photographs were to be found. The some walls were papered some were not. Pictures hung here and there. Gail recognized one painting. Two farmers a man and a woman. The woman was holding a pitchfork. What was the name of that painting, she wondered. She could almost remember it. Gail turned away. It would come to her eventually. She had expected sparse furnishings but this was not so. As she entered the living room she had the vague idea that someone was watching her and that she really shouldn't be here at all. By the time she got into the living room she had a good idea of what to expect. But what she found stunned her beyond reasoning. There it was. The photograph she had found in the library book-- still in her purse after retrieving it from Lucas' hands. Only this picture was not a photograph but an oil painting that hung above the fireplace mantle. The painting was quit large and the frame was old and needed dusting. The couple which resembled her and Lucas exactly seemed happy. What did Lucas know, she wondered. Suddenly there was a scuffel behind her. Gail turned around to find a woman in a black raincoat standing before her. Angela: Who are you? Vivi: (glancing from the painting to Gail) Are you a relative? Joey: I've got the shovel... Oh, excuse me (she says seeing Gail) Gail: (crossing her arms over her chest) What's the shovel for? Next time: Ben and Barbara come to an understanding. Matt and Lucas face off over Caleb's parantage. Gayle has a strange disappearence. Angela reveals her true identity. Donna craves medical attention from Dr. Matt. Billy Peale visits the Trinity Public Library.

The boy needs a family. Someone who will look after him. That seems to be something you are not capable of, Ms. Holt. (Connie exits the hospital. Her car is parked on Bandala St. near the hospital. As she pushes open the door and steps onto a sidewalk she realizes she must have exited through the wrong door. Disoriented, she pauses. CLUNK. Connie falls to the ground. THUD. A shovel falls beside her.) Scene 38 Barbara's House Ben: You've got to believe me. I never ment to kill Waylin. Barbara: (to little Ben) Why don't you go and play in your room. (Little Ben feeling abandoned by the adults slumps his shoulders. Can't they see he is hurting too. He just lost his father and he rarely sees his real father, Ben Sr.) Ben: Wait, Ben. I've got something to say. I love you son and your Mama too. Things never should have happened the way they did. Little Ben: You mean shooting Dad...Waylin--I mean.

That Trinity could use a good coffee shop? Matt: All this time. Lucas: What are you mumbling about? (sneers) maybe it's time for your medication doctor. Matt: You are Caleb's father! (Lucas' smile disappears) Lucas: What?! Matt: I saw you. I heard Caleb. You are his father. (Lucas grabs Matt by his arms and shoves him hard against the wall) Lucas: No one can ever know. Do you understand me? For Caleb's sake. (Something catches Lucas' attention he turns to his right and sees Caleb standing in the doorway. Caleb walks over to Matt now separated from Lucas and hugs him fiercely. Looking straight at Lucas with meaning. Lucas knows now that he cannot hurt Matt without Caleb being suspicious of him. Maybe he can make a deal with good old Harvard after all. Lucas smiles at Caleb then at Matt who holds the boy close to him.) Scene 40 Outside Caleb's room a half hour later (Gayle--Caleb's cousin from Gage Temple's side of the room--gives Caleb a good night hug. Upon leaving the hospital she if prevented by Lucas.) Lucas: No one is going to take that boy away from me. Gayle: (pulling her arm away from Lucas roughly) We'll see. (she leaves) Lucas: Yes, we will. (Gayle leaves the floor by a nearby elevator. The elevator closes and moves. The lights flicker. Fire! Lucas! Gayle blinks it was just an illusion. The elevator doors open. She steps out directly into a busy street!) Gayle: What the hell is going on here? Bobby: Hi, my name is Bobby Brady. This is my sister, Cindy. Gayle: Uh, hi, kids. Mike Brady: (looking a lot like Lucas) Hi, there. Kids, have you seen Tiger since we started this trip? Cindy: SSSay are you lookin' for thhhe Grand Canyon too? Gayle: (ignoring the kids) Alright Lucas. What are you trying to pull? MB: Ma'am? CAW!

Lucas: I didn't think so. I'll let it go this time. (Lucas passes by Joey) Lucas: (privately to Joey) Next time don't hide *under* the bed (He smile and walks away. Vivi darts a suspicious glance towards a seemingly innocent Joey.) Next time: Caleb has a welcome home party. Donna and Matt grow close. The real shooter in the parking lot scene is revealed by Lucas. Gail remains unnerved by the old painting that resembles her and Lucas. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Subj: AG- Gothniks in Trinity 19A or 20 revised Date: 96-05-11 22:57:09 EDT From: CWAL5845@URIACC.URI.EDU (chris wallace) Sender: owner-agothic@stargame.org To: agothic@stargame.org Author's note: There was some goof up in the sending of the original message that was episode 20.

Caleb: much better now that Dr. Matt's ok. (a look of concern crosses her face but she hides it from Caleb) Gail: Well, I hope you are up for some fun. (Gail pulls the car up in front of the Boardng House. They get out of the car and walk in. Loris, Gen, Rebecca, Tony, Julie, Shari, Boone, and others yell surprise) Caleb: Wow. It's not my birthday or nothin'. Loris: Why we know that, Caleb. We just wanted to have a little party because (kneels down) We are glad you are feelin better. Go on in the kitchen and get yourself somethin' to eat. Boone: Better let me make the toast, Caleb. Gen: It's all set on the table. Becky: You want orange juice or milk, Caleb? Caleb: Milk. Gail: It's good to see him happy again. Loris: You don't look so happy, Ms. Emery. Something troubling you (Loris shuts the door) Gail: It's nothing really. Loris: "Nothing" don't bother folks. Gail: It's just this feeling...like I'm haunted by my past. Loris: Hauntings are not uncommon. Gail: I guess it's just because I didn't know my parents very well and most of the family, except for Caleb, is dead. Rebecca: Say, Caleb, do you think you are up to riding your bike? Caleb: Sure I guess so. Would it be alright, Ms. Holt? Loris: Well, ok, if you feel up to it, but don't be gone long. Ms. Coombs is coming by later to go over your homework assignments that you missed. (Caleb looks disappointed) Caleb: Ok. I'll go get my bike. Gen: Hey, what's the rush? Finish your breakfast. I'll get your bike, Caleb. Authors note: This should bring us up to speed the next scene is 52 when Gen is Lucas-ized in the shed. Heh heh. I like that one. Applause to the Gothnik who came up with that one. Lucas-ized. I love it! Can you be Lucas-ized on holy ground?! Coming up: The epilogue. Does Gayle ever return from Brady Land? If she does you can bet the Force is with her. :) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Subj: AG- Gothniks in Trinity 20!

Scene 52 Shed (Gen goes out to the shed to get Caleb's bike and hears a voice behind her.) Lucas: Good morning, Gen. How's shooting. Gen: (startled) Lucas! Lucas: Did you really think I didn't know abut that little incident in the hospital parking lot. (He grabs her by her shoulder and throw her up against a wall) What were you tryin' to pull? Gen: (sobbing) I didn't mean to hit *you*, Lucas! I'd never shoot you. I love you. Lucas: (loosening his grip on her and smoothing her hair back) Then what were you doin' with that gun? Gen: It was that witch {with a B} *Gail*. Lucas: (hugs her) I see. Well, we don't have to worry about *Gayle* anymore. You go on now. There will be a nice little bonus in yur pay. And Gen, from now on, keep the gun in the lock-box. Scene 53 Hospital Matt: Karen's going to be just fine, Mrs... Donna: Call me Donna, please. Matt: How did this happen? Donna: We were crossing the street together when I dropped my keys. Karen stopped to wait for me (sobs) Matt: It looks like Karen just got thrown back by the car. It couldn't have been going very fast. (flashback of the accident that killed his family. He had been drinking and driving much too fast when...) Donna: Doctor? Matt: She will be fine. We are just doing some tests and then she can go home. Speaking of home, I think I'd better get going. (stops) I just remembered I'm not sure where *home* is. Donna: Do you need a place to stay? Matt: Well, I was staying at the Boarding House but...I moved. (looks uncomfortable) Donna: I live in a duplex that I own. The apartment next to me is unoccupied. I would feel better having a doctor nearby in case anything should happen. Matt: I don't want to put you out. Donna: You wouldn't. Scene 54 Boarding House Chris: Mornin', Selena. Selena: Good morning, Chris and you too Sister Grimm. SG: Haven't seen you around Brian's place lately. What you been up to? Selena: Oh the usual (smiles). Good morning, Caleb. Caleb & Boone: Morning, Ms. Coombs. Caleb: We're just goin' out for a quick ride. We'll be right back. Selena: Ok, Caleb. Don't forget we got work to do. (From the shed, Lucas looks on as Caleb gets on his bike and the other children get on theirs) Lucas: You kids be careful now! (Caleb darts a glance behind him at Lucas and waves reluctantly. Off in the distance a bright white light shimmers into the form of Merlyn as she worridly watches Caleb and the children take off down the road) On the front porch, Gen, Selena, Loris, Sister Grimm, Chris, Tony, and Julie finish up the rest of the breakfast. Julie lingers with Selena.) Julie: I haven't seen Gilson recently have you? (Selena looks innocently at Julie and smiles.)

A terrible thing has occurred on the set. Suncat has a new toy. And Gayle had better hope the Force is with her. She's gonna need it. Scene 55 In a land Far Far Away (Gayle finds herself perplexed by the man before her. He appears to look exactly like Lucas, exept for the curly hair and the polyester clothes. Then there are these obnoxious children. Bobby, Cindy, Peter, Jan, Greg, and one other girl. What was her name?) Jan: Oh, but why is it always Marsha. Marsha gets to go to the dance. Marsha is the prettiest. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! Gayle: Excuse me but I really must be leaving. I mean really who designes this house anyway. There is only one bathroon and no toilet! Mike: Well, the kids like it. Carol likes it. And Alice likes it. Gayle: Bye (opens the door and leaves. As she steps through the door she sees a short Asian woman.) Mrs.Livingston: Good morning! Mr. Eddie's father will see you now. (Gayle runs out the door as fast as she can. She finds herself sitting on the top of a truck next to an old woman the others call--Granny. She checks around. Yep, swimmin' pools, movie stars, palm trees. It can mean only one thing. As Jethro makes a sharp left Gayle is luckly thrown from the vehicle. Gayle knocks on the nearest door.) Archie: Hey, Edith, it's one of your cousin Maude's liberal friends. (Maude? That confirmed it. Gayle was destined to travel through TV hell.) Scene 56 Boarding House (As Caleb rides his bike down the street a director yells "Cut!" We see that the boarding house scene is actually a TV set with crew waiting for their their day to end. A young man in his 30's sits in a nearby chair with his arms folded across his chest. His T shirt reads "Buck Stops Here." He is handed a cellular phone by an assistant) Man on the phone: Are you sure? Well, ok, then. (He gets up an goes over to the boy on the bike.) Man: I'm sorry to tell you this, kid, but this has come down from the top. Seems your character is... (Nearby a female crew member pours cream into her coffee) Woman: Ugghh, it's sour! Man: That's it. Caleb's just too dour. He's gotta go. Sorry, kid. Better luck next time. American Gothic has been cancelled by CBS. Scene 57 Marianne's Bedroom--morning (Marianne wakes with a start. The sun shinng through the cracks in the shade over the window. The white lace curtains scatter the rays of light through the lace pattern onto the rug. Marianne wipes her forehead with the back of her hand. Drops of perspiration beaded on her skin. Waking herself up a little, she realized her bed clothes were damp with fear sweat. Slightly disoriented, she tries to orient herself with her surroundings. The clock on the bedstand. Her grandmother's wooden hope chest. The picture of Marianne and her cat. Suncat was in her usual spot curled at the foot of the bed. her fur rising and falling. Ears twitching in sleep. And then there was that familiar lump beneath the sheets. Now fully awake, she reached over in spoon position and wrapped her left arm around him giving him a shight push) Marianne: Are you awake? Him: Mmnff. M: I just had the strangest dream. (the doorbell rings) M: Someone's at the door. You better get it I'm not dressed. (M slips into the bathroom) He gets up and pulls on his black boxers and the bathrobe from behind the bedroom door. (The doorbell rings again. He opens the door. The paper boy looks exactly like Caleb! Him: Marianne, honey, where's the envelope for the paperboy? (M appears with a small envelope and gives it to Him) Him: Here you go, son. (As he shuts the door we see that the man looks exactly like Lucas! Suncat pads her way into the kitchen under the table. This is where her favorite new toy has been hidden. Suncat grabs the small shiny object in her teeth and wrestles with it. Her paws work at turning it over. The inscription reads: "Department of the Sheriff Trinity, South Carolina" Suncat paws at her toy. A happy and contented cat is she. +++++ end +++++
