Panel one: A close-up on Paul Patton, Jr. as he has a fake smile on his face as he has a notepad and pencil ready as looks ahead. Around his neck is an old fashion camera.

Caption: I'm Paul Patton, Jr: Husband, father, photojournalist and local superhero The Fox.

Paul Patton, Jr.: Mr. Griffin, for the Impact City Gazette, I'd like to thank you for your time. We know you relocated to Impact City after Griffin Enterprises acquisitioned Bright Industries and you've hardly had time to finalize...

Caption: Oh, wait. I forgot one.

Panel two: Paul Patton Jr. begins to write shorthand on his notepad as he keeps his eyes looking ahead at the still unseen Mr. Griffin. His short hand is very unreadable with lines and slashes along the pages and along the side of it are games of Tic-Tac-Toe where he manages to lose every time.

Mr. Griffin off panel: Not a problem at all. My staff has done an excellent job locating, obtaining, restructuring and purchasing facilities to suit our needs. What I find hard is introductions.

Mr. Griffin off-panel: Doing this interview is the best way to introduce myself to my new home.

Caption: Freak Magnet.

Panel three: Paul looks up as Mr. Griffin says something that snaps him out of his deep thought.

Mr. Griffin: I hope my appearance isn't too offsetting, Mr. Patton.

Paul Patton Jr.: Er—no. And call me Paul...


Panel four: Paul Patton Jr. is faking a grin as he tries to not to show his concern for what he is seeing off panel

Mr. Griffin off-panel: As you wish, Paul. Would you like a drink, something to eat perhaps? My personal chef makes a religieuss to die for.

Paul Patton, Jr.: That's one lethal sweet tooth.

Caption: Ever since I put on my full body spandex pajamas and acted like it was Halloween at comiccon, I'm attracted every sort of costumed creep, mutilating mutant, and interdimensional ignoramous.

Panel one: A shot inside a skyscraper office as we can see Paul sitting at a desk. Behind the desk sitting is a man around 6'2 wearing a black business suit and tie with his hands and head covered in bandages and wearing dark sunglasses. He has a computer on his desk, various files, and a small bowl of mints. He is handing a mint to Paul as Paul reluctantly reaches to take it as he has a uneasy smile on his face.

Caption: So trust me when I say—this is a bad guy.

Mr. Griffin: Hah. Yes. I suppose it would be at that. How about a mint then?

Paul: Sure.

Caption: Make that super villain.

Panel two: Paul begins to unwrap the mint as Mr. Griffin talks.

Mr. Griffin: I suppose I should give you the basic details of my life.

Caption: 5:1 this mint is poisoned.

Paul: You're the man of the hour.

Panel three: Mr. Griffin' cups his hands as he places them on the front of his desk as he calmly begins to go over his life.

Caption: 2:3 he only has facebook friends.

Panel two: Mr. Griffin holds out his hands to show off his bandages.

Mr. Griffin: As is apparent, I have a skin condition. Sadly a genetic trait that runs in my family. A sever case of photodermatitus. My skin and eyes have a rather very violent reaction to UV rays.

Caption: 3:2 says he's a vampire.

Panel three: Mr. Griffin stands up and looks out the windows to his skyscraper.

Paul: Mr. Griffin—

Mr. Griffin: Aster.

Paul: Aster. You're worth more than most countries combined and if we liquefied your assets, it'd overflow out of the building and raise the ocean level by ten feet--

Paul: What was it specifically that drew you to Impact City?

Panel five: View from outside of the window as Mr. Griffin looks straight ahead as the reflection of the city is upon the window.

Mr. Griffin: It wouldn't seem like the best place to relocate, no?

Mr. Griffin: The crime rate is twice as high as the next two metropolises'. Not a day seems to guy by where a villain jeopardizes innocent lives. The police are underfunded, politicians who prefer a hand out over falling on the sword...

Mr. Griffin: ...But there is also a city that knows how to rebuild stronger than ever. Communities that hold firm to basic moral decency. An inner strength to treat the extraordinary mundanely.

Panel six: Mr. Griffin turns back to Paul as Paul smiles at him. On the notepad we can see a picture of Mr. Griffin crushing the world between his hands.

Mr. Griffin: Ah. Listen to me rambling. Let's just say I see a bright future ahead for Impact City.

Paul: Oh keep rambling. Pure magic is coming out of your mouth.

Caption: Even odds says we'll be punching each other within a week.

Page 3

Panel one: Paul begins to write on his note pad as he thinks.

Caption: Now I comes the standard questions and that I already answered the night before using wikipedia. So boring time.

Caption: Not that I mind. Gives me time to think.

Panel two: Paul stares at his notepad as he thinks. Behind him is an image of what happened in the last story arc with Ghost Fox (his son Shinji) being held captive by Mr. Smile as She-Fox is lying on the ground with the left side of her body having just been blasted while The Fox looks on helplessly.

Caption: Like how horrible of a husband and father I am.

Caption: Like how, when I tried to leave The Fox behind and lead a normal life, it resulted in my untrained son picking up the mantle, being captured, and my wife being injured—

Panel three: Same shot only with She-Fox snapping Mr. Smile's neck while The Fox and Ghost Fox look on in horror.

Caption: --And my wife having to kill Mr. Smile, the big bad of Impact City, to protect us all.

Panel four: Paul looks up as he nods his head and smiles. In the background is an image of the family posing. Mae has grown her hair out on the left side to cover up her scarred face ala Tailia Al Ghul from Batman. Both Mae and Shinji look content while Paul has this weird nervous smile and rolls his eyes towards the other two.

Caption: And now Shinji is a hero in training so he can learn to run into radioactive monsters than can punch through concrete the right way and Mae...she's handling it better than I am.

Caption: So the more things change the more they stay the same.

Panel five: Paul is standing up and shaking Mr. Griffin's hand as the interview is over. In the background is The Shield talking with The Fox and She-Fox (all in costume) The Shield shows a video of Fly Girl as she attacks Ragnarok from Dark Tomorrow

Caption: And now my daughter—she's had it rough. First, she has me as a father and secondly... her mother was killed with a lot of my old super buddies and after a recent mission...

Caption: She's had nothing but bad days for way too long.

Panel six: A close-up on Paul's face as he has a wide dopey smile as he continues to act super friendly to Mr. Griffin. In the background is an image of Fly Girl and Kelly Brand.

Caption: She's going to be staying with us and that makes me happy—really, but--

Paul Patton: How about a few pictures? If you don't mind with your condition, I'd understand completely if--

Caption: God, please don't let me make her life worse than it is. Just this one miracle, please?

Page 4

Panel one: Over the shoulder of an alarmed Paul Patton as he looks past Mr. Griffin to see a dark blue Pirate ship hovering in the air and shooting off an anchor that is rocketing towards them. Mr. Griffin doesn't notice as he stands up and complies

Caption: Okay, let's dodge the giant anchor from the pirate ship in the air, take this pic, and bond with my daughter!

Mr. Griffin: I don't mind at all. I'm sure no one will notice the small stain on my suit.

Caption: ...Wait. What was that first thing?

Panel two: Paul leaps over the desk and pushes Mr. Griffin to the ground as the anchor is just a few feet away.

Paul Patton: Get down!

Panel three: The giant anchor crashes through the glass windows of the office and out the office door as it kicks up a dust cloud that begins to spread though the room. Paul reaches Mr. Griffin just in time and pushes him to the ground.

KKRAAKKK

Caption: Freak magnet.

Caption: Metal anchor from a pirate ship hovering over the city.

THOOOMM

Caption: 'Natch.

Page 5

Caption: Not what I was expecting today. The title to my autobiography.

Panel two: a close-up on Paul's surprised eyes.

Panel three: Over the back of Paul Patton as we can see that Mr. Griffin is gone and all that remains is his bandages, his sunglasses, and the rest of his clothing.

Caption: And chapter 14 will be titled: Somewhere in Impact City, a multibillionaire is streaking.

Panel four: Paul stands up and pulls his shirt open to reveal his Fox costume as he prepares to fight crime.

Paul: Sigh.

Caption: ...And I wanted to wrap up the day so I can be home when Kelly arrives and just give her the biggest hug ever.

Panel five: The Fox is in full costume as he is beginning to climb the anchor chain as he looks up at the pirate ship.

Caption: Costumed villains and not being there for the people I love. The story of my life.

Love the Fox pic. That sums up the character perfectly.

Wow all caps.

Still, as doing what you love and being happy is the best revenge.

Panel one: Stewart is leaning in his doorway with a smug look on his face.

Stewart: Hey, Trev. How's the date going?

Panel two: Zoom out to see Trevor is all covered up in the middle of his bed in a trembling ball as he is hiding after being frightened by the ghost. Stewart still has the smug expression.

Trevor: This is not that, pleb! This is ghost camouflage!

Panel three: Trevor peeks out from his cover as he looks over at Stewart as Stewart is acting as if nothing out of the ordinary is happening as he lies down and begins to read a Z People comic.

Trevor: ...Say, weren't you with Jess and Kelly?

Stewart: Was, and now I'm not.

Panel four: Trevor bursts out of the bed in full clothing and wearing rocket brand shoes as Stewart continues to just read his comic unapologetically.

Trevor: You left those helpless girls alone in that haunted dorm?! What if they need help?!

Stewart: What have you seen from me that leads you to believe I can or want to help with anything?

Panel five: Trevor's hand grabs Stewart by the front of Stewart's shirt collar and drags him off the bed by his stomach.

Stewart: C'mon! Why does everyone keep yanking me around?!?

Panel six: Trevor is dragging Stewart out of the room as Stewart vainly thrashes and protests.

Trevor: I'm gonna save the girl I love and the catoptrophobiac whose make up I do!

Stewart: Why do I have to come?!!

Trevor: Because I'm going to throw you at the ghost, and while it's tearing you apart like a granola bar wrapper, I'll save the two people who actually matter!

Panel one: Lyric and Summer are dusting the wall with its new wallpaper as Paisley is cleaning under Vera's bed and pulling out dirty underwear you could hang on a pole as a flag. Paisley sticks her tongue out in disgust.

Lyric: Paisley, me and Summer feel bad.

Paisley: Understandable.

Panel two: Lyric and Summer are talking with Paisley as Paisley kicks the dirty underwear back under the bed with the heel of her shoe. In the background Vera is checking the dust on a wall as an exhausted sorority sister with a duster looks on.

Summer: Kelly's our president and our friend, shouldn't we be helping her?

Paisley: No, because we could die. And dying is the worse thing that can—

Panel three: Paisley turns her head as Vera show her non dust cover finger at the sorority sister as she tries to reason with Vera. Nearby two other sorority sisters, look on as they clean the nearby window.

Vera: And don't look at me, look at those spots you missed! Make like magician with ODC and make them disappear, presto!

Panel four: Paisley leads the way as all the girls drop their brooms, wash clothes, spray bottles, and dusters as they follow her lead. Lyric and Summer hold hands and celebrate as they are excited at going back.

Panel one: Possessed Jess is pulling the suspended helplessly in air Kelly towards her as Kelly tries to break free. Possessed Jeff has her fangs out in a sardonic grin.

Possessed Jess: I think I'll bite your throat out.

Kelly: "You think"? So no final decision, right??

Panel two: Possessed Jess notices a small piece of paper hanging out of Kelly's left pocket.

Possessed Jess: What's this? Knowing your selflish kind, a victory speech for your "award." Pathetic.

Panel five: Possessed Jess's eyes widen and her mouth gaps open as she continues..

Possessed Jess: "...Fran Wright."

Page 15

Panel one: Possessed Jess continues to read the note as Kelly is gingerly lowered to the ground.

Possessed Jess: "I did some research and she helped out the community, youth centers, and painted phone booths (whatever those are)."

Possessed Jess: "She was humble and kind and did it never expecting anything in return. Not only should we vote her as the winner...but we should rename the award the Fran Wright Award..."

Possessed Jess: "...She deserves the praise and it's a much better name."

Panel two: Possessed Jess looks at Kelly.

Possessed Jess: You...you were going to do this for me...?

Kelly: Yeah, did some thinking after Jess reamed me out earlier...and did some research.

Kelly: I read about all you did and thought it wasn't right you're remembered as a scary ghost instead of a good person.

Panel three: Kelly smiles sincerely at Possessed Jess.

Kelly: And I decided that, yeah, I'd like to be remembered—but how I'm remembered matters the most.

Kelly: And if you see my grandmother, tell her I'm really sorry for stopping giving her kisses when her face turned ultra wrinkly!

Page 16

Panel one: Kelly is looking at Jess with a relieved smile as a bewildered Jess is droggy and getting her bearings back together.

Kelly: ??

Panel three: Jess begins to cry out in pain as she bends over and holds her back and her jaw as she is now feeling all the pain Kelly had afflicted on her when she was possessed.

Jess: My ribs are killing me and I can taste my shattered vertebrae in the back of my throat—and my jaw!! Is it cracked??—awwwh--!!

Panel four: Kelly feigns innocence and looks away she tries to change the subject as she turns her head.

Jess: There is something very, very important you want to discuss with me.

Kelly: Well, sure, um...hey, do you hear a small girl screaming?


Panel five:  Stewart is flying in the air over the two as the both girls just ignore him as Kelly sinks in her face as she doesn't know how to answer an angry Jess.

Jess: It's just Stewart.

Jess:  Now why do I feel like a ten car pile up bodyslammed me?

Page 17

Panel one: Trevor runs up to Jess as the rest of the RHO sorority girls and Vera follow after him. Vera's face is distorted rage after she hears Trevor's comment. On the ground, Stewart looks like a crumbled up rag doll as he has stars circling his head.

Trevor: Yeah! How you like that, ghost? Next I toss the fat girl at you! Just come within two inches of me!

Vera: WHAT?!

Jess: Yes. That's what happened.

Lyric: It makes sense!

Summer: It does.

Paisley: No it doesn't. We don't have gas in our home and—

Paisley: Forget it. As long as I'm not murdered in my sleep, I'm content.

Lyric and Summer: YAY! CONTENTMENT!

Page 18

Panel one: Jess is still holding her head and back as she is hunched over as Trevor reaches to help her.

Jess: Thank you, Trevor. I really, really appreciate it.

Panel two: Trevor is carrying Jess over her shoulder as Jess winces in pain. Jess has several red pain stars and orange lightning bolts to show how much pain she's in. Trevor has a smile ear to ear as he thinks he is being super romantic. In the RHO house, various sorority sisters are waving goodbye to Jess as they don't see she's in pure agony.

Jess: And I thought being a vampire would be why I'd need a coffin.

Panel three: Kelly is talking to the RHO members as they are all excited. Lyric and Summer are the happiest while Paisley just sighs and gives in to the fabrication with a smile.

Page 19

Panel one: A shot of Kelly and Jess staring ahead. Kelly has a smile ear to ear as Jess has a bandage wrapped around her head, but is pleased with Kelly.

Kelly: So...you're not mad at me, are you?

Jess: Nah. Vampires heal fast and concussion dreams are amazing. And everything did work out in the end.

Panel two: Kelly and Jess are walking out of RHO house. The glass display now has a banner reading The FRAN WRIGHT AWARD: A GOOD DEED HERE FOR HER. With the glass case now having a new photo next to Emma Dotson's, an old picture of Fran Wright who has a small smile on her face.

Kelly: Say, Jess, me and the girls are organizing a food drive. I was wondering if maybe—

Jess: I've got a helping hand and a few cans of corn.

Trevor: Hah! Stealthy!

In a second floor window we can see a silhouette of Trevor reacting in pain as he clutches his hand.

SFX OOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAWWWWW


Panel two: High angle view as we can see the previous panel was from the view point of Jess, Kelly, and Stewart. Stewart is struggling to keep his hat on as the heavy winds nearly blow him down while Jess and Kelly are just fine.

Jess: I don't remember this place being this...eerie.

Kelly: Well, it is night, the deathly bellow, the lightning striking overhead, the ominous wind blowing clouds to deadly images...

Kelly: Oh. And we didn't have a ghost before a few hours ago.

Page 14

Panel one: Jess is about to enter the house as Kelly stops her.

Trevor thinking: Heh heh. Perfect. I'll have them scared out of their wits and right into my loving arms.

Panel two: Trevor, as he puts the sheet back over his head, tilts his head as he thinks about what he said. Not noticing a bright glowing blue light just behind.

Trevor thinking: ...Well, Jess mainly and maybe a quick comfort hug for Kelly. Stewart touches me, I break his twig arms.

Panel three: Trevor notices the blue light shining on him.

Trevor: Wha—

Panel four: Stuart is rubbing his rear end as he looks back at the doorframe as both Kelly and Jess peek in.

Kelly: You're sure it's safe?

Stewart: Look, if something was gonna happen it woulda happened!

Panel five: Trevor (still in full costume) is running over Stewart as he makes his way to the door as he is scared out of his wits. Stewart is hit hard enough that he turns a complete flip while his hat spins in the air. Nearby a spider has spelt out LOSER on a web as it looks at Stewart.

Trevor: EEEEEEEEEE!!!

SFX: WHAM

Page 16

Panel one: Trevor runs out of RHO House and dashes past Kelly and Jess as they both look on. Jess points at the fake ghost as Kelly waves her arms denying that he was the ghost.

Jess: Please tell me that was not your ghost.

Kelly: No, I swear there's a real ghost, Jess! That's just a guy with a weird laundry fetish!

Panel two: Stewart is picking himself up as he smirks at the approaching Kelly and Jess.

Stewart: Hah! I knew there wasn't a ghost. You girls probably told yourself a ghost story or saw a shadow and got spooked.

Panel three: From the point of view of Stewart as he is suddenly three feet taller than both girls as Jess and Kelly look on wide eyed with their jaws dropped.

Stewert: ...Did I just have a growth spurt?

Panel four: Jess and Kelly look up at Stewart as Stewart is levitating with his head just a few inches from the ceiling of the room. Kelly is pointing at Stewart and smiling at Kelly as Jess sarcastically acknowledges Kelly was right.

Stewart: Oh crud. I'm Peter Pan.

Kelly: Hah! See?? A ghost!

Jess: Fine. The talking mystery solving dog had it wrong. Score one for you.

Page 17

Panel one: Stewart looks around as he doesn't see an immediate threat as he he's just hovering a few inches from the ceiling.

Panel two: Stewart's head is rammed into the ceiling.

SFX: THOOM

Panel three: Kelly and Jess look on with concern as Stewart is repeatedly rammed up and down on the ceiling. Behind Stewart a blue ghost orb is beginning to form as Kelly and Jess focus on it.

Kelly: You see that?

Stewart: Grrllk mmmphh geeerrkk


Panel two: Kelly pushes a heavily dazed Stewart towards the door as he wibbles and wabbles as he is completely unsturdy.

Kelly: Stewart. I really appreciate your help—but maybe you should go back to your room and lie down...

Stewart: Brllrrrk

Kelly: Oh. Sure. I'll buy that trade pack for you. It's the least I can do.

Panel three: Kelly looks on worriedly as Stewart zigs and zags as he walks outside

Kelly: You think he'll be fine on his own?

Jess: No, but I didn't think that before he became a human hand ball.

Panel four: Jess goes down one hallway as Kelly nervously goes down another.

Jess: Okay, let's split up. If you find the ghost, text me.

Kelly: I don't think this is a good idea.

Jess: Kel, we are vampires who can punch ghosts. We're good.

Page 19

Panel one: Kelly is smiling as she notices a book hovering as she enters a room with a book shelf nearby.

Kelly: Jess' right. I mean. Super strength and one little book is all the ghost's got?

SFX: CRASH

Panel four: Jess turns and sighs as Kelly responds off panel.

Kelly off-panel: ...yeah. Just catching up on my reading.

Panel five: Jess is still looking off panel not noticing the door is opening behind her all the way with a bright blue light shining.

Jess: Stop messing around! If you've ever seen a horror movie, you know what happens to the person who is distracted by a noise!

Panel six: Jess is pulled into the room by an invisible force as the blue light shines even brighter.

Jess: HEY!!

Page 20

Panel one: Kelly is in the living room quarters of her dorm as she carefully kicks the love seat with the tip of her toe to make sure it's safe. The entire room is a mess with pictures knocked down or out of place with furniture turned over everywhere.

Kelly: Okay. It's not flying. It's dead. Dead carved tree and cushion and not flying at my head. That's good. That's normal. Super duper.

Panel two: Over the shoulder of Jess as she is looking into the living room from the door frame as Kelly breathes a sigh of relief. Jess has her eyes closed as she walks towards Kelly. As Kelly puts the loveseat back in place with one hand.

Kelly: That you, Jess? Seen the ghost the last few minutes?

Kelly: Me neither.

Kelly:  I'm thinking maybe the ghost got bored and left, right? Or just gave up and found a new place to live.


Panel three: Over the shoulder of Kelly as Jess opens her eyes to reveal them glowing bright blue. Kelly has a look of fright on her face as she shifts her eyes to her left shoulder as she sees Jess has been possessed by the ghost. Possessed Jess is baring her fangs and her face tightens to make her look slightly demonic.

Possessed Jess: You're half right. The half you'd rather not be right about.

Kelly: (Gulp) Different sounding voice and glowing blue eyes are never good. Never ever.

Caption: Certified G's guaranteed.

I actually think AWM is pretty well animated. Especially for that 1999. And I liked it. I think if you're an Archie or Veronica fan, you're probably happy because they get the most focus out of everyone.

And when I read the comics, I always read them using these voices.

Part II

Page one

Panel one: Jess is lying on her bed reading a book titled THERE IS NO LAME POWER as Vera is in front of her strutting her stuff as she showcases her body.

Panel three: Stewart walks past Trevor as he shrugs his shoulders at Trevor's actions and just decides to leave it at that. The girl now has her feet and hands up in the air as she wiggles her fingers and toes and giggles.

Stewart: ...while I serve and protect the ladies the twit-chat said came this way.

Jess: I can't believe you people! You all can't stay here!

Jess: --And why would you have a ghost now all of a sudden??

Panel two: Kelly responds as she can't even look Jess in the eye. Jess puts her thumb on a throbbing vein on her forehead as she tries not to lose her patience.

Kelly: Well...you know that "Good Samaritanina" thingie? Turns out someone was killed for it and is now a ghost reaping unholy vengeance.

Kelly. Oopsie doopsie whoopsies.

Paisley: Indubitably.

Panel four: Jess has calmed down as she stands in front of the sitting Paisley.

Paisley: It's preposterous.

Jess: So what do you say about helping me get you girls back to your abode?

Caption: Not totally accurate, but see episode two anyway.

Trevor: I'll sneak in to RHO house and when my Jess comes, I'll prance around like a ghost, run off...

Panel five: Trevor has the sheet over his head as it only covers up to his ankles and he has his arms sticking out making the costume even more stupid. The girl tilts her head in confusion as she pinches her arm to see if this is really happening.

Trevor: ...Then I'll trounce the sheet, show my machismo, and I'll have Jess holding my hand and picking my nose hairs in no time!

Panel six: Trevor keeps the costume on as he runs into the door frame of the room. The girl goes back to eating her chips as she decides she's just seeing things.

Page 7

Panel one: Jess is talking with Kelly as they are in front of Vera's occupied bed with only the middle part left as Vera looks on trying to figure out how to get in between all the girls.

Jess: You really believe ghosts exist?

Kelly: I threw a sofa at me. That's proof enough for me.

Panel two: Kelly is whispering to Jess as Jess begrudgingly agrees with her as she feels her own fangs. In the background, Vera is leaping into the air and rolled up like a ball as she jumps towards the open spot in the bed as the other girls panic.

Kelly whispering: ...'Sides, vampires are real and we have the fangs to prove it. So why can't ghosts or even unicorns be a thing, too?

Jess: Good points...

Panel three: In the foreground, Stewart is trying his best to charm one of the RHO Girls who frowns and looks away. Stewart is flexing his no existent muscles at her. Kelly and Jess are walking towards him. In the background, Vera is in her bed while the other girls were knocked off of it and lying on the floor around the bed like rag dolls.

Jess: Okay. We'll check with an expert about the validity of ghosts.

Kelly: And unicorns.

Jess: And no.

Stewart: When they made me, they broke the mold.

RHO Girl: Yeah...I wouldn't want to make that mistake again either.

Panel one: Jess grabs Stewart by the shirt collar as he leads her and Kelly into the hallway. The RHO smiles as she's glad Stewart will be away from her.

Jess: I need this for a moment.

Stewart: Sheesh! Can't you just ever say, "Stewart, come here please"?

Panel two: Stewart straightens out his shirt as he glares at Jess as Kelly carefully closes the door and waves back at her sisters.

Kelly: Hee. No worries. Leave everything to us.

Stewart: Okay, what do you want?

Jess: We need conformation on a particular matter.


Panel three: Jess is talking to Stewart as Stewart takes a step back away from Jess.

Jess: Stewart, Kelly says she has a ghost in her frat. Is that possible?

Stewart: Course. Ghosts are real. Haven't you watched primetime late night reality shows?

Panel four: Stewart is explaining about ghosts.

Stewart: Ghosts are souls given power through current or past emotion and bound to the earth by unfinished business. Or they're really peeved off about something.

Stewart: Don't take my word for it. You girls are vampires now. Supernatural. So you should be able to see ecto slime or orbs or shifting shapes.

Panel five: Stewart holds his arms at Kelly as Kelly to prove he was right as Kelly makes an O shape with her right hand.

Kelly: Yeah. I saw an orb. And I don't think the other girls saw it. Course they were busy screaming in terror.

Panel one: Jess is talking with Stewart as Stewart sticking his finger in his nose as he thinks.

Jess: Well, what can we do about it? Sharing a room with Vera is bad enough, but an entire sorority house--?

Jess: No thank you.

Panel two: Stewart explains what they can do as Jess agrees as Kelly is nervous.

Stewart: Well, like I said. You're supernatural. So you might actually be able to hurt it.

Jess: Good enough.

Kelly: Good enough how?

Panel three: Jess holds out her fist as she encourages and builds up Kelly as Kelly begins to smile.

Jess: C'mon, Kel. You're the president of RHO. You're a vampire who can break down a door! You really going to let some spook put the screws to you, or are you going to fight back??

Panel four: Kelly extends her fist only with her thumb stuck in the middle as she agrees with Jess.

Kelly: I'm going to fight back!!

Panel five: Jess grabs Kelly's hand and begins to move her fingers around to form an accurate fist.

Panel six: Kelly looks in awe at her now perfect fist as Jess looks on nervously.

Kelly: Oh.

Kelly: Nifty.

Page 10

Panel one: Stewart is trying to walk back into Jess's room as he waves goodbye to the two vampires.

Stewart: Have fun being female Ghostbreakers. Hope the feature presentation looks better than the trailers.

Stewart: I'll just keep the girls company while you two bruisers are away...

Panel two: Kelly's hand and Jess's hand grab an arm of Stewart's respectively.

Kelly off-panel: Oh, you'll be keeping girls company...

Jess off-panel: ...It'll just be us!

Panel three: Jess and Kelly are dragging away Stewart as Stewart vainly tries to kick and squirm his way free. The stoner girl from across the hall looks out into the hallway as she is mixing another batch of brownies in a bowl and is whisking it.

Stewart: Why couldn't I know gargoyles?!

Stewart: They sleep during the day, don't involve others in their problems, and make any building structure look classy!!

Page 11

Panel one: Vera is standing in front of the other girls as Vera as Vera soaks in their appreciation. Summer, Lyric, and Paisley are sitting on Jess's bed as the other girls are sitting down behind them or on the ground in front of them.

Lyric: Vera, you're great for letting us stay here.

Vera: I'm great every way, shape, form, perception, angle and thought.

Panel two: Summer is talking with Vera as Vera has a smirk on her face.

Summer: How can we ever repay you?

Panel three: A close-up on Vera's face as it looks devious as her eyes flash and her smiles goes from ear to ear as several shades and shadows make her look even more villainous.

Vera: Yeah. I was thinking about that? How about a few little chores?
Panel four: A shot of all the RHO Girls as the all have the same fearful expression as they realize they've gotten themselves into something possible far worse.

Panel five: Same panel only with Summer and Lyric smiling and happy as they agree. Paisley hangs her head down as she knows she's in for some bad times.

Summer: Sure!

Lyric: It never hurts to help~

Paisley: That's what my cousin said when she needed a bone marrow transplant.

Paisley: She lied.

Caption: Back to the show after these messages!

Yeah. She's special.

Fun fact: I hadn't bought the latest issue of Super Suckers when Trevor grabs Jess, she was a lot more angry with Trevor in the first draft instead of feeling bad about possibly injuring him.

No. I wrote this story long before New Archie. Back when Kevin first got his own title.

I don't mind New Archie at all. I'm not a fan of the Jughead issues I read and Sabrina was awful, but Archie's great, Afterlife is good. I wish the classic was given more respect, but new Archie isn't bad. Heck, it looks like good art is on the way for Jughead.

Sorry. That title was a lot cuter years ago. I'll change it to something else to avoid confusion.

 Page one

Panel one: A dejected Jughead is walking along a sidewalk in a suburban area as Sandy Sanchez, who is in jogging clothes, is running towards him. It is late in the afternoon. Along the road several cars drive past. One car is driving by a man who can barely see over his steering wheel. And he certainly can't see the man crossing the street.

Sandy: Jughead! You're face is as long as your nose. What's wrong? Pops wants you to pay your tab?

Jughead: If only it was. Then I'd be able to reason with a rational person.

Panel two: Jughead is slowing walking along as Sandy is running in place as she talks with him. A pedestrian narrowly avoids being hit by the car as he dives into someone's yard.

Sandy: Who are we talking about?

Jughead: It's my mom. She says that I'm lazy, eat too much, and won't let up on me unless I do something about it.

Panel three: Jughead is even sadder as he relays his situation to Sandy. Sandy is rolling her eyes good-naturedly. The pedestrian is being helped to his feet by several attractive ladies as his mood shifts from terror to joy.

Jughead: She won't even let me sleep two extra hours late and only two helpings of desert for breakfast.

Sandy: How ever will you survive?

Page two:

Panel one: Jughead slumps over and places his hands in his pockets as he walk ahead. Sandy is enthusiastically talking, trying to cheer him up. Jughead is walking along like he's walking towards his execution. The girls are carrying the pedestrian over their heads, as if he's too injured to walk on his own.

Jughead: I don't know, Sandy. I just don't know...maybe a few burgers at Pops and crashing on Archie's sofa will give me a few ideas.

Sandy: Hey, how about I help you with your procrastination?

Panel two: Jughead is walking away and waves his hand at Sandy as the idea. Sandy places her hand over her face as she shakes her head despondently in response to Jughead's reply.

Jughead: No, I don't need help with that. I'm already too good at it. That's what's the problem.

Panel three: Sandy has darted in front of Jughead to stop him in place and to explain what she means. Jughead is in mid step as he stops. Sandy has both arms stretch out as if to block him from leaving before she explains her meaning.

Sandy: No! I mean, let me help you get physically fit! You getting exercise should satisfy your mom. I'll be with you every step of the way.

Panel four: Jughead is scratching his chin as he is debating whether he should actually try to exercise. Sandy is tugging at Jughead's arm, as if trying to get him started already before he has made his mind up.

Jughead: I don't know...is a pain in the neck worse than aching all over?

Sandy: I usually have to exercise alone, and I'd enjoy the company! C'mon, I promise it'll be fun!

Panel five: Jughead shrugs his shoulders as he reluctantly relents to an overly enthusiastic Sandy.

Jughead: You really shouldn't make promises you can't keep...but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Panel six: Sandy runs off as Jughead looks on puzzled as if he doesn't understand the meaning of Sandy's words as they're not doctrine that Jughead uses in his everyday life.

Sandy: Super! I'll be by your house bright and early tomorrow!

Jughead: "Bright and early"? What an odd thing to say. I wonder what she could possibly mean?

Page three:


Panel one: Jughead is in bed as his mother is opening the curtains just above his bed to let a strong beam of sunlight shine on his face as he tries to hide his head in his pillow. The alarm clock on Jughead's stand reads 7: 35 AM. In his room are stack of comics, empty soda bottles and cans, and various posters of food along the wall.

Caption: Bright and early the next day...

Mrs. Jones: Forsythe Pendleton Jones! Your friend has been waiting outside for twenty minutes!

Jughead: Just tell her it will be just as bright later. Later like tomorrow of next year.

Panel two: Jughead, dressed in his usual clothing only wearing a black pair of shorts is greeted by Sandy. Sandy is wearing a Riverdale T-shirt and blue shorts and running shoes. She is on her knees petting Hot Dog, who enjoys the attention.

Sandy: It's about time! You'd be late for your own funeral, Jug.

Jughead: I'd want to be early or on time?

Panel three: Jughead is walking towards his dad's car as Sandy grabs him by his right arm and pulls him towards the sidewalk. Hot Dog is looking on with a hint of amusement at his master's predicament.

Jughead: Dad's on a fishing trip with friends, so borrowing the car shouldn't—

Sandy: No cars!

Sandy: You and I are going to jog all the way to Pickens Park.

Panel four: Sandy is pushing Jughead along as they jog down the sidewalk. Jughead, as you would expect, is hesitant as he still has his eyes shut as he points to fingers at them to illustrate his point. Hot Dog is looking on as he is waving goodbye to Jughead.

Jughead: Jog all the way?! Pickens Park isn't in immediate eye range!

Sandy: It will be after a mile or two....

Panel five: Same shot only with Sandy and Jughead further along in the distance and Hot Dog having fallen asleep in just a few seconds.

Sandy: ...And that should be good enough for the warm up. When we get to the park is when we really get to work.

Jughead: If that's what's in store for us there...let's go somewhere else.

Hot Dog: ZZZZZ

Page four:

Panel one: Sandy is jogging into Pickens Park as Jughead is gasping for breath as he is barely dragging himself behind her. Several park goers look in his direction with surprise and concern. An elderly couple is bird watching. On another tree just beside Sandy and Jughead, three squirrels are pointing at Sandy and Jughead and seem to be interested in them. In the distance, we can see the General Pickens' memorial statue.

Sandy: Jughead, isn't it great to fill your lungs with fresh morning air?

Jughead: You bet...(huff puff) It's much more special when it's your (huff huff) last breath...

Panel two: Sandy is leading Jughead towards a grass area near a pond as several ducks look at them. One duck is swimming in the pond on its head with its legs kicking up in the air. The squirrels are racing down the tree to follow along. One squirrel is motioning for the others to follow with its arm.

Jughead: Now what?

Sandy: I think about fifty jumping jacks would be a great way to loosen up your arms and legs.

Jughead: I think I prefer them attached to the rest of me.

Panel three:  Sandy is doing the jumping jacks as she begins to break a sweat. She is looking straight ahead, focusing on her own workout, not turned to Jughead. She is listening to what she believes is Jughead doing the jumping jacks.

CLAP CLAP


Sandy: Sounds like you're doing great! After the next ten, let's add touching the ground between jumps!

CLAP CLAP

Panel four: We scan over more to see Sandy happily doing her jumping jacks while Jughead is standing beside a tree clapping his hands to sound like he is doing jumping jacks. On top of the tree the squirrels are imitating Sandy and doing jumping jacks. One squirrel looks down on Jughead with ridicule.


Jughead: Let's not and say we did.

CLAP CLAP


Page 5

Panel one: Sandy and Jughead are on a path in the park in a fairly forested area. Several people are running along the path. Sandy is pointing along the path, showing where they will be running. Jughead has his hand along his brow as he is peering out into the distance. The three squirrels are behind Jughead as they follow Sandy's finger with their heads.

Sandy: Here's something I like to do: run as fast as I can before I hit the wall.

Jughead: Wall? Don't you mean a tree? Or can't I see it because of the forest?

Panel two: Sandy is explaining as displeased Jughead his arms folded over his chest and his head turned away from Sandy. Sandy continues in her hopeful ways.

Sandy: No. I mean, I like to run at full burst and see how far I can go before I hit the wall, catch my second wind, and push on through.

Jughead: I seem to recall you promising this experience would be fun at some point in time—

Pane three: Sandy and Jughead are running at full speed. Sandy is zooming ahead as Jughead is struggling to keep up. The squirrels from before are racing along side them. One squirrel is hurdling over a tree branch that had fallen on the path.

Sandy: This is fun!

Jughead: No. the words "fun" and "run" rhyme. That's as close as the two get to ever being alike.


Panel four: Sandy has gotten her second wind as she is running. She has a determined smile on her face as she wipes her brow.

Sandy: And there was the wall and the breakthrough to a second wind!

Sandy: How about you?

Panel five: Sandy turns around to see Jughead just behind her collapsed on the path as he is dead tired and looks like a doll thrown against a wall. Two of the squirrels are standing on Jughead's hat, shaking their heads in disappointment. One squirrel is trying to cool Jughead off with a leaf.

Jughead: I hit the wall...but it hit back like a hurricane!


Page six:

Panel one: A disgruntled Jughead is running along a path as Sandy has a stop watch and begins to time him. Two of the squirrels are along side Sandy while one squirrel follows beside Jughead. Jughead is talking to the squirrel, the first time the squirrels' presence has been acknowledged, as it looks up and shrugs its shoulders at Jughead.

Sandy: Okay, follow this path and it will lead you around in a circle for a good mile. I'll time you and we'll work on doing better and better each time.

Jughead: Where does she get the idea that I'll ever be doing this again?

Panel two: Jughead is running down a hill as Sandy looks on proudly with stop watch in hand. The stop watch shows fifteen seconds have elapsed. The sun is shining as it would if it was around noon.

Sandy: Go, Jughead, Go! I know you can do it. I believe in you!

Panel three: The sun has moved about the sky to show that a good deal of time has passed. Sandy is concerned as she looks at the stop watch as it reads: 1 hour and 25 seconds.

Caption: Later...

Sandy: Of course, I believed in the Easter Bunny until I was fourteen, too...

Panel four: Sandy is walking down the hill as the two squirrels follow. The two squirrels seem to be conversing as they look to be worried about their lost companion. Sandy is talking to herself and not the squirrels.

Sandy: I just don't understand it. He couldn't have gotten lost, and even if he had walked he would have been back by now...

Panel five: Sandy turns to find Jughead sleeping under a tree, his arms behind his head in a relaxed sitting position. Around Jughead are several hot dog wrappers. The missing squirrel is right beside Jughead with a wadded up hot dog wrapper as a pillow. The sleeping squirrel is motioning with a hand for something to continue, going along with what Jughead is mumbling in his sleep. Both of their stomachs are pouched out. In the distance we can see a hot dog bender and his cart selling hot dogs to a mother, father, and their son. Sandy has her hands at her hips as she is a mix of anger and disappointment. The two squirrels are along side her with the same body language.

Sandy: ...Unless he got distracted.

Jughead: zzzz ...yeah...just pile on the relish and cover it with mustard my good man...zzzz

Page seven

Panel one: Sandy is stomping away from an apologetic Jughead, as she is fed up with him and his lack of effort and no success. Jughead has his hand over his mouth as he simultaneously burps and pleads with Sandy. Behind Sandy are the squirrels. The two squirrels that were with Sandy seem to be lecturing the squirrel that was with Jughead as it hangs its head in shame.

Sandy: I'm sorry, Jughead. I tried, but I couldn't have wasted my time more if I attempted to stack ice cubes from here to the sun!

Sandy: Argggh! I could have spent my morning studying for chem.!

Jughead: Sandy! (Burp) I'm sorry.

Panel two: Sandy has stopped as she is still angry, but not as much as a repentant Jughead talks to her.

Jughead: You're trying to help me, and I really do want to enjoy a run in the park and the like—but I'm just not motivated the way you are!

Jughead: I don't enjoy it just to do it or look at nature. The only time I ever run is to be first in the lunch line.

Pane three: Sandy is thinking as she is just finalizing a plan to help Jughead.  Jughead has a hopeful look in his eyes as he is surprised by Sandy's words.

Sandy: And you do that so you can get...

Panel four: Sandy smiles and turns to Jughead who gives her a thumbs up. The squirrels leap in joy as they sense a turn to the positive.

Sandy: Okay! If you're serious about working out and making up for today, come back to this spot tomorrow morning. I have a plan that's sure to work!


Page 8

Panel one: Sandy is looking at her stop watch as a sweaty and exhausted Jughead is running up to her at full speed. Jughead has his tongue hanging out. We cannot see Sandy's other arm, but we can tell that she is holding something in her hand.

Caption: Same place tomorrow after five miles under fifteen minutes.

Sandy: Looks like my new training method is a success.

Jughead: It sure is, Sandy!

Panel two: Sandy holds out a plastic bag containing five cookies as Jughead reaches out for them as he begins to salivate more than sweat now.

Sandy: And here is another bag of my special low fat cookies. No butter and sugar, but cream cheese and apple sauce. And still with a great taste!

Jughead: They may be low calorie...

Panel three: Jughead continues to run along the path in a blue as he munches the cookies as he goes. Sandy is standing along the path as we can see she has a small pile of plastic bags containing her cookies as she waits for Jughead to run another mile to hand him another bag. Several other runners are looking at Sandy with a confused expression. The Squirrels are looking on as the three are sharing a cookie as they chew merrily.

Jughead: --But they're fast food to me!

Sandy: Proper motivation. That's all it takes sometimes.

THE END
