Logan's Version

Logan's Version 2 (scene 1) - how to avoid spooketti

[The story takes place 2 years after the events of the previous scene/episode].
(The episode shows several shots of Denver, Colorado, before it focuses on a white-colored bungalow with a pale brown roof. The edges of the window are coloured brown, and so is the front door. Finally, the interior of the Hilsons' living room (where most of the drama happens) is shown. Jesse, now 8 years old, is seen sleeping on the couch, surrounded by two game gadgets, a plate of leftover noodles, and an empty plastic Coca-Cola cup, with a straw in it [laugh track]. Logan comes out of the kitchen, dresssd in a black Puma T-shirt and brown shorts. He is shown drinking a glass of water while holding a script. It turns out he's on his way for a movie shoot. Logan sighs and rolls his eyes as he sees Jesse sleeping carelessly and proceeds to wake him up).
Logan: (mutters) Give me strength [laugh track]. Jesse! Wake up, Jesse! (taps him slightly. Jesse slowly stirs from sleep and blinks severally before realising it's Logan waking him up)
Jesse: (sits up as he yawns) Morning, Liam.
Logan: It's afternoon [laugh track].
Jesse: (looks around with sleepy eyes) Who made all this mess on the table? Looks like something Danny would do.
Logan: (shrugs) You're Danny's best friend. So that counts too [laugh track]. Anyway, I'm going for the movie shoot again today. So, Tracy will be here any minute. I need you to be on your best behaviour when she shows up. (counts some money before, handing about 10 dollars to him) This is for school tomorrow, in case I don't return early today.
Jesse: (counts the money and stops. He has a happy look on his face) Thanks, Liam.
Logan: You're welcome, big guy. (The doorbell rings) That must be Tracy. (He opens the door, and truly, it's Tracy, with her now 9 years old brother, Alfred) Hello, Tracy. And Alfred.
Tracy: (eyes Logan thoroughly) Hi, Channing. [laugh track]. (Tracy and Alfred walk in immediately) Are you back already, or is this supposed to be your Halloween costume for tonight?
Logan: What's wrong with what I'm wearing?
Tracy: You know how I always reference your personality to Caroline sometimes? Well, she still stayed stylish even when she was broke [laugh track].
Logan: That is a lie. My outfit is actually fashionable. How about we ask a kid? Say, Jesse?
Tracy: (scoffs) I'm not asking Jesse. He loves you too much to actually tell you the truth.
Jesse: (bluntly) Liam's outfit is a 2/10 (Logan gasps in shock).
Tracy: He's being generous, but I'll totally accept that [laugh track].
Logan: (shrugs) Well, I do not have the time to argue with any of you. I'm already late.
Jesse: (Stops counting the money and runs toward Logan) Liam, please. I'm begging you. Don't take me for Trick or Treat tonight. I'm very scared.
Logan: (squats to talk with Jesse) Hey, big guy, is it about the visions again?
Jesse: (defensive) No, but we were locked in a room, and we couldn't get out.
Tracy: Wasn't that last Halloween?
Logan: No, that was on his birthday. You locked us in because you played a pretend hide and seek game.
Tracy: I got carried away, OK. Jeez?! [laugh track].
Logan: You guys have fun. (to Alfred) And Alfred remember -
Alfred: (rolls his eyes) Hurt Jesse, or you're gonna be in trouble. Yeah, I know. Your boy's an angel [laugh track].
Logan: (folds his arms) Sassy, but I'll take that. (starts leaving) See you later then.
Tracy: (she closes the door as Logan leaves. She turns to Jesse) OK, vamp. Spill.
Jesse: There's nothing to "spill"
Alfred: (holds the empty cup) Yeah, he already drank everything. (turns to Jesse) And you didn't even bother to keep for your friend. Boy, what is wrong with you? [laugh track]
Tracy: (rolls her eyes) Not that kind of spill. (turns to Jesse) You know what I mean
Jesse: I don't want to go for Halloween this year. I'm scared, Miss T.
Alfred: There's nothing to fear, Jesse. It's going to be fun.
Tracy: Wait, hang on. Is it because of the last time at the Spook Fest thing? Your visions are actually cool and help us for the greater good.
Alfred: (scratches his head) Would we call Jesse seeing you crash Oscar's wedding a good thing?
Tracy: Yes [laugh track].
Jesse: (worried) What if something goes wrong?
Tracy: You've been going for Trick or Treat for the past 2 years. Why are you scared all of a sudden?
Jesse: That's because Logan and Zoey always take me. But they're not here today.
Alfred: Tracy's here. And she'll always be attentive if anything goes wrong.
Tracy: (on a phone call) Girl, I already told you, you'll slay better in the purple crop top. The red outfit is so 90s [laugh track]
Alfred: (rolls his eyes and faces Jesse) What I mean is, this will be the best Halloween ever! Trust us (looks over at Tracy again. Tracy is putting a pencil on the tip of her nose while still on a phone call). I mean, me [laugh track].
Tracy: (on a call) And I have to go now. See you later (Ends call).
Alfred: Tracy, you weren't paying attention again.
Tracy: I was paying attention. To my phone call [laugh track]. But if Logan doesn't show up, I'll ask Trevor to join us. (Tracy's phone rings, and she checks to know who it is) Good thing, he's coming over for the Trick or Treat to help me watch y'all give me a headache [laugh track].
Jesse: (turns to Alfred, who nods. The boys face Tracy with smirks on their faces). Is he your boyfriend or your boy - friend?
Tracy: Just a friend.
Alfred: You're lying. Prove it.
Tracy: (shows the caller ID to the boys. It reads "Trevor" on it)
Alfred: (widens his eyes) Holy mate! You're not lying [laugh track]
Jesse: Yeah, you CANNOT date Trevor. Zoey will end you. One time, Zoey and Trevor were arguing about some girl named Julia. I heard things that aren't for my age [laugh track].
Tracy: Why would I even hit on Trevor? He's gross [laugh track]. And I always knew Julia was a total -
Trevor: (Opens the door and runs in, cutting Tracy off) Tracy, DO NOT finish that sentence! [laugh track] (Tracy, Jesse, and Alfred are surprised at the dramatic entrance).
Jesse: (confused) How did you -
Trevor: (out of breath) You're not the only one who can see things, Jesse [laugh track]
Tracy: (rolls her eyes) I was going to say she's a total idiot. (smirks) What did you think I was going to say? I'm not an animal [laugh track]. And you wear that green shirt a lot. That's gross.
Trevor: Just because I wore this green shirt four days in a row doesn't make me gross.
Tracy: Yeah, but it makes me wonder how Zoey manages to live with you [laugh track].
Trevor: (with an excited tone) So who's ready for Halloween? We're going to get so much candy for tonight. And we're going ghost hunting!
Jesse: (widens eyes in fear) [brief laugh track] Ghosts? (faces Tracy) GHOSTS?!
Tracy: (faces Trevor sharply) Alright, let's keep all the excitement for tonight. (whispers to Trevor) But Trevor, we need to be very careful around Jesse with this Halloween stuff. You know, since the Spooketti.
Trevor: (realizes) Oh, I understand. I'll try not to do anything crazy tonight. You won't even realize it's Halloween.
Alfred: (looks at the camera) Here we go.

(Four hours later)
Trevor, Tracy, Jesse, and Alfred are dressed in their Halloween costumes, and for some reason, all of them are disappointed at the costumes (aside from a very elated Trevor).
Tracy: (dressed in a crab costume. She says dryly). Great, this pinches hard [laugh track]
Trevor: (dressed in a Robin costume, happily oblivious to how annoyed they are at the moment) Don't you all love the costumes I made?
Jesse: (dressed in vampire make-up and a Cape, complete with sunglasses and artificial fangs) Why am I dressed like this?
Alfred: (dressed in a bucket-like outfit, while holding a toy spade) This is awful. I feel like I'm sinking in a sand castle [laugh track]. (He reads something written on Jesse's cape) Why is "Jesse Vamp" painted on your cape? (Jesse removes the cape and examines it. He is further unimpressed by it).
Jesse: (visibly upset) I'm not Jesse Vamp! (turns to Trevor) Who gave you that horrible idea?
Tracy: (hides the extra spray can behind her, nervously asks) Yeah, Trevor. Who did? [brief laugh track]
Alfred: (looks at the camera) I told you Trevor dressing us is a terrible idea.
Jesse: (stares at the camera, wondering who Alfred is looking at) Who are you talking to?
Alfred: (turns to Jesse with a raised eyebrow) You're a psychic. How can you not see them?
[laugh track]
Trevor: (whispers to Tracy) Is your brother OK?
Tracy: (nods) He watches a lot of reality TV. He's fine [laugh track]. (The doorbell rings. Tracy opens the door, and it's Zoey, who's completely worn out).
Jesse: (excitedly) Miss Zoey, you're back! Now, I can finally not go for Halloween [Laugh track].
Zoey: (walks in with her luggage) No way. You have to go Trick or Treat tonight with Tracy.
Jesse: But I'm scared of Hallloween.
Zoey: If this is about last time, then you have nothing to worry about. What's the worst that could happen?
Jesse: (slowly stares straight ahead in a trance-like state. The camera does a close-up of his green-colored right iris, followed by the speeding green wave of light. It opens like a tunnel, and he sees Alfred, Tracy, and Trevor in what looks like a locked room. The three look very frightened).
[Trevor: Jesse was right. Why did we even come here?
Tracy: (mockingly) Because you never listen (brief laugh track).
(Soon, some decorations start to fall around them in the room, leading Alfred to panic)
Alfred: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!! [Laugh track] (The three run around looking for a way out and crashing into random things, while Jesse, from his point of view, is curled up near a corner of the room. leaning on the wall)]
(The two seemingly disappear, and the speeding green light is shown, followed by Jesse's eye and finally his face).
Jesse: (snarls at Alfred, Tracy, and Trevor) There's no way we'll be locked in a scary room tonight. Adios! (turns toward the couch, but Trevor swiftly carries him) [laugh track] Drop me down, or I shall turn you into a depressed vampire for the rest of your life. (Jesse frowns at him while his left iris glows green simultaneously, but Trevor simply rolls his eyes). [laugh track].
Trevor: You know what? We're going to that locked room. Hopefully, there's a spell that can reduce this attitude [laugh track].
Tracy: (to Jesse) Why in the world are you acting like you're Logan's student?
Zoey: You just answered your own question [laugh track]. (relaxes on the couch) You guys should please take care. I'd listen to Jesse if I were you, and please, do not steal the candy this time.
Trevor: Why would we do that? We're very mature adults. (whispers to Tracy) Remember, our backup plan is to use Jesse's glowing gaze to scare the naughty kids into giving the candy. Then, run before their parents find us.
Tracy: Got it! [laugh track]
Jesse: (protests) NO! PUT ME DOWN! I DON'T WANNA GO! [Laugh track] ZOEY, DO SOMETHING!
Zoey: Sure, I'll lock the door [laugh track]. (The four leave the house, while Zoey stands up to lock the door) Finally, some me time. (She turns on the TV) Ooh, Scream is on already. (sits on the couch and holds the remote control) Girl, don't follow the tiny door! [laugh track] (A scream is heard from the movie, which makes Zoey roll her eyes) Great, now you screaming bad screams [final laugh track as she relaxes back on the couch the scene closes].
