The sheep is so bored, that it comes intrigued with the road. It wanders over there, past the broken fence... 4

INT. CAR ON THE ROAD - DAY

Sofie Boardroom Scene is catching up on the HBP Movie thread. She is very interested in the analysis of a particular screen shot from one of the trailers, posted by one ArryGrotter. She squints, trying to figure it out. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE But who’s the real Sofie?! The person driver gets all confused with her, and looks away from the road... 5

...The same time that the sheep is about to cross. The car swerves and the sheep is only injured. 6

INT. AARON’S ROOM - NIGHT

8

Aaron is on CoS, writing to all his friends: AARON (V.O.) This sucks. We just got told yesterday we’re going on this trip, and guess where it’s too! Aaron doesn’t wait for any guesses AARON (V.O.) The middle of effing no where! All there is there is sheep! There is a reply as if automatic in the shack: SHEEPES!

HANA (V.O.)

AARON (V.O.) They’re called Sheep - get over it. And even though I’m from New Zealand, don’t think that that means that I’m in love with them it sucks. A reply from Mad_Druid comes up: ‘But I thought you said you had 10 sheep: Baa, Ba, Black, White, Grey, Sheep, Shep, Lamb, Wool, and I can’t remember the other one :hmm:’ Aaron rolls his eyes and closes the lid to his laptop. 9

I/E. AARON’S FAMILY CAR - AFTERNOON

9

Aaron looks thoughtfully out of the window, then sees his first Sheep since his departure, grazing in a paddock. He is disgruntled. 10

EXT. ROAD - AFTERNOON

10

The Sheep from earlier lies there limp. Another car comes up, and stops next to it. The Sheep tries to get away, but can’t, all it can do it Baa. Out of the car, comes an old lady, with a warm smile on her face:

3.

DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last. She pulls out her hand to shake, but the Sheep can’t, so she carefully shakes it herself. 11

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - NIGHT

11

Aaron’s family pull up. Aaron gets out an notices that hardly anyone else is here - there is only one other car, and that’d have to belong to the owner, which comes out. DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last. She shakes the hands of everyone, some multiple times. DORIS CROCKFORD Now, yes, Room...... 3! She sets off with a high spirit, Aaron’s parent in her wake, but Aaron notices something in the shadows. It makes a noise. Baa.

SHEEP

Aaron knows then what it is, but is a little shocked that it is there. Aaron?

AARON’S MUM

Aaron follows the call. 12

INT. MOTEL LOUNGE - NIGHT

12

Doris and Aaron’s family are sitting around together. DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last. And she tries to shake hands again. AARON’S DAD Um, you’ve already done that... Doris seems a bit confused, as if suffering from short-term memory. AARON’S MUM So are we the only ones staying here?

4.

DORIS CROCKFORD Oh, no, I’m expecting someone tonight, and another party later in the week, I think... Or was it tonight too? Aaron’s Mum and Dad look at each other. There is a knock on the door. Doris jumps up to open and before the new person even gets a word in: DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last. Bernard Shaw stands in the door, but he is almost pulled in by the force of Doris wanting to shake his hand. DORIS CROCKFORD Ah, now you’d be.... Mr Shaw? Hmm, now what room were you in? Doris dawdles off. AARON’S DAD (To the new comer) So, what’s your impression of this place? Shaw holds his hand which has gone numb, and slowly sits down. BERNARD SHAW Altogether too many sheep. SHEEPES!

HANA (O.S.)

Hana is at the door, taking down her umbrella, as a shower is passing. Closely behind her is Sofie Boardroom Scene. DORIS CROCKFORD (Appearing from no where) Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last! I can.

HANA

Sofie laughs. DORIS CROCKFORD So were you coming tonight? I wasn’t expecting you two till tomorrow.

5.

SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE We were meant to be coming in tomorrow, but we had an small incident with a sheep SHEEPES!

HANA

SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE - on the road. Doris doesn’t even seem to be able to comprehend that this is the sheep that she saved. DORIS CROCKFORD Oh, poor dears. Hana and Sofie go to sit down. DORIS CROCKFORD Ok, now. I have you, Mr Shaw in Room 1. You two new ones in Room 2, and I’ve already told you lot Room 4, right? AARON’S DAD No, you said Room 3 DORIS CROCKFORD Oh, ok. Room 3 it is. Now i think about it, I don’t have a Room 4! Hmm... I’ll just get keys... BERNARD SHAW Is she always like this

Yes.

AARON’S DAD (Automatically)

Throughout all this, Aaron has got very agitated. AARON Why did we have to come here of all places? I mean, it doesn’t have computers with internet connection! But Aar-

AARON’S DAD

SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE I have an internet connection. Aaron’s Dad looks at Sofie, wishing she never said what she just said.

6.

SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE (Noticing) Or ... is .. it .. not .. important ... AARON (Cutting across his father) No, it’s very important! Thanks He beams at Sofie, who still doesn’t know if she is doing the right thing. DORIS CROCKFORD (Returning) Ah, I found the keys. At the moment, every gets up and leaves, taking their keys they don’t want to stay around too much longer with the mad hand shaker... 13

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - MORNING

SHEEP

INT. MOTEL ROOM 3 - MORNING

Aaron is disgruntled in his sleep - he is being awoken by the noise of the sheep. Baa!

SHEEP (O.S.)

Aaron turns over, but can’t block out the sound - he has to get up. 15

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - MORNING

15

Aaron walks over to where he saw the sheep the previous night, to find someone else there. Sofie Boardroom Scene is standing there looking at the sheep lying on the ground. Hi.

AARON

SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE Oh, Hi there. They both look down at the helpless sheep. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE What’s your name?

7.

AARON Aaron. And yours? SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE Sofie Boardroom Scene. Aaron’s mouth goes wide. Sofie’s does too. AARON You’re in HBP? SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE (At same time) I’m in HBP? AARON Wait, what?! Baa!!!

SHEEP

They both are startled. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE I figured it out! ArryGrotter posted that picture and I couldn’t figure it out - and all along Sofie was me!! AARON Wait a second - Do you mean ArryGrotter as in ArryGrotter off Chamber of Secrets forums? Sofie’s mouth goes wide. Aaron’s does too. AARON You know me off CoS?! SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE (At the same time) I know you off CoS?! Aaron gets confused, feeling a sense of deja vu... SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE So is that why you were wanting the internet? Yes.

AARON

SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE Hey, whenever you want, just knock on my computer and borrow mine. Thanks!

AARON

8.

Baa!

SHEEP

The Sheep turns over. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE Don’t question the Sheep, Aaron. Aaron gives her a weird look AARON Did this thing wake you up too? SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE No. But I wish it did yesterday. Sofie huffs off, leaving the Sheep baaing at Aaron. Shut Up.

AARON

He follows her. 16

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - MORNING Aaron is on Sofie’s computer, chatting on CoS: AARON (V.O.) Yeah, would you believe it? I’m here! I’m still in the middle of nowhere, but this really nice lady called Sofie Boardroom Scene - Yes! Can you believe it?! She’s straight from HBP!!!! Anyway, she’s said I can borrow her laptop whenever I want to! Many smiley-faced smilies come on screen from ‘Den_muggle’ AARON (V.O.) Well, where I am staying there’s no much as expected, and I’d be so bored without this computer. But there is this really randomly annoying sheep. It woke me up this morning. No sign of any other sheep SHEEPES!

HANA

Hana comes into the room, followed by Sofie. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE Hey, Aaron. Would you mind taking the computer elsewhere?

16

9.

Hana gets a fit when someone says Sheep..es wrong. AARON Um... ok... And he takes Sofie’s laptop out with him. Sofie gets a phone call. 17

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - MORNING

It is raining. Aaron covers the laptop with his jacket and goes into the lounge. 18

INT. MOTEL LOUNGE - MORNING

DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last! 19

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - MORNING

19

Sofie is on the phone. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE Yes. - I’m ... nearby. Hana brings Sofie coffee, then smacks her forehead: she’s forgotten something. She puts down her coffee and goes out of the room. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE So that’s all? - So I can -? But she stops, noticing something between the blinds. PHONE (V.O.) You ther -? But the phone cuts out. Sofie looks out the window, holding her cup of coffee. 20

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - MORNING

20

More and more dark clouds form outside her window. 21

INT. MOTEL LOUNGE - MORNING

21

Oblivious to all this, Aaron is still on Sofie’s laptop. Hana comes into the room. HANA Sheepes boy, have you seen -

10.

AARON What did you just call me? HANA Sheepes boy! You’re always look at that sheep and then you’re always saying sheepes wrong! She looks around in a hurry. HANA No, no, no, it’s not here. DORIS CROCKFORD (Appearing from nowhere) Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last. She tries to shake Hana’s hand, but Hana pulls her hands back. HANA I’ll believe you if I can find BERNARD SHAW (Entering too) Miss Landlady, I think that’s DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t BERNARD SHAW Yes! I heard it the first time. I’m going home now - here’s your money. I’ve had enough of the sheep! Sheepes!

HANA

Bernard rolls his eyes and departs. Aaron’s parents arrive at the door then too. Doris is too shocked to notice their arrival. AARON’S MUM There you are Aaron! AARON’S DAD Where did you get the computer? He sideways looks at Hana. AARON Sofie lent it to me. She’s really nice.

11.

HANA Speaking of which, I need to tell her that I can’t find a good Johnny Depp picture. She leaves Aaron’s family all confused, and Doris even more so, even if she wasn’t listening... 22

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - MORNING

22

The door is already open before Hana walks in. The blinds are askew, the sheets are messy, Hana’s clothes lay scrambled all over the bed. Sofie Boardroom Scene is gone. 23

INT. MOTEL LOUNGE - MORNING Hana rushes out back, to where Doris is still confused and Aaron’s parents are still harassing him about the laptop. Seeing Sofie’s laptop puts Hana in even more of an alarm. HANA Sofie!! Gone!! DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last. Hana can’t bother stopping Doris grabbing her arm as she tries to calm down. AARON’S DAD What do you mean ‘gone’? HANA I just went back - and all our stuff - clothes, coffee, Johnny Depp pictures - had been looked through - and there was no trace of Sofie - none! Aaron looks alarmed. HANA And her car’s still here - and her laptop! Aaron’s parent now look at Aaron, trying to make him feel guilty. HANA You didn’t see anything, did you?! Aaron’s family shake their heads.

23

12.

HANA (To Doris, not listening till now) And you? DORIS CROCKFORD You know, I think I’ve told you my name before now. ARGH! 24

HANA

INT. MOTEL ROOM 3 - NIGHT

24

Aaron is again on Sofie’s laptop, logged onto CoS. AARON (V.O.) So today, the wonderful Sofie who has lent me this computer has disappeared? CHLOE (V.O.) What, she left? AARON (V.O.) No, she disappeared - without a trace... and I’m stuck with the computer. Aaron’s father comes up. AARON’S DAD You need to give that back - to Hana anyway. (Aaron nods) Tomorrow. Ok.

AARON

Aaron closes CoS and the laptop for what he knows will be the last time before he goes home, and gets into bed. But he can’t get to sleep. Baa.

SHEEP

Aaron turns over. Baa!

SHEEP

And falls into dream land...

INT. RAILWAY STATION - DAY

25

Sofie is at a railway station, lost, wondering which train to take, when... SHEEP

Baa!

Sofie turns, and sees, the same sheep from the motel there, slightly injuired. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE (singing) Hey there Sheepie I’m so sorry I didn’t mean it to happen this way Hey there Sheepie Sorry Sheepie Next time I’ll say Sheepes instead But you shouldn’t have come over the road There was no point in coming over the road All there was was being Sheeped by Hana!! Baa...

SHEEP

Suddenly that sheep is not the only sheep Baaing... Sofie turns to see a stampede of Sheep running into the railway station. SHEEP CHORUS Baa, Baa, Baa! Baa, Baa, Baa Baa Baa! Baa, Baa Baa, Baa, Baa, Baa Baa, Baa! Baa, Baa, Baa! Baa, Baa, Baa Baa Baa! Baa. Baa. Baa. Baa. Sofie gets up and dances with the Sheepes. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE I’m sorry ‘bout what happened, but I see what’s right. All you little Sheep -

HANA (O.S.) (As though sung by the Sheep Chorus)

14.

SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE - are all alright! We’ll be friends forever whatever happens. I’ll just remember how things all came to an end. SHEEP CHORUS (With dance moves) Baa, Baa, Baa!

Aaron smiles in his sleep. 27

INT. MOTEL ROOM 3 - MORNING Baa!

27

SHEEP

Aaron wakes and smiles 28

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - MORNING Aaron goes out to where the Sheep is. AARON Hi there, how are you?

28

15.

Baa!

SHEEP

AARON You’re not that scary, are you? Aaron goes up forward towards the sheep, smiling, but suddenly a car pulls up the driveway, stops abruptly, and slams their doors shut. TRACEY (Coming out of the car; To Aaron) Are you the one that runs this place? I heard they were a fruitloop. AARON (Making himself more visible) Er, no. That’s not me, that’s DORIS CROCKFORD (Appearing from nowhere) Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last! Tracey’s arms are attacked by Doris TRACEY Yeah, you’d be my second guess... Tracey looks to her suitcase(s) still in car.

Boy!

TRACEY (Gesturing to take it/them in)

Aaron grudgingly takes in Tracey’s suitcase 29

INT. MOTEL LOUNGE - MORNING

29

Tracey follows Doris into the main room of the Motel. Aaron is a far way behind them with the massive suitcase(s). TRACEY So, what room am I meant to be in?

16.

DORIS CROCKFORD Let me think. I told the Grotters Room 3, then Mr Shaw arrived and I didn’t know what room he was in, then by that time Hana and Sofie were there too, and then I told then all Rooms 1, 2, and 4, but then I remembered there was no Room 4, so then there was one person in Room 1, two persons in Room 2 and three persons in Room 3... Throughout all this, Tracey doesn’t speak - she wants to listen to what has happened so far. DORIS CROCKFORD But then Sofie disappeared and there’s only one in Room 2 now, and how many of you are there? (Aaron comes through door then) Two? Then you should be in Room 2! Here, I’ll give you the ke- oh, wait that’s right, Hana has the key. Get it off her, and give the Room 1 key to her. AARON But wouldn’t it just be better to TRACEY (Cutting across) Thanks! Come you. 30

I/E. MOTEL ROOM 2 - MORNING Tracey knocks at the door and Hana answers. TRACEY Get out of my room. Here’s you new key. Baa!

SHEEP (O.S.)

TRACEY Shut up, you mongrel! Hana is still standing there, shocked. TRACEY (As if talking to a baby) That - fruit - loop - of - a owner - told - me - to - give - you - this - key - for - Room - 1. This - is - my - new - room.

30

17.

Tracey pulls Hana out of the doorway, who is still shocked. Tracey goes in, snatching her suitcase(s) off Aaron. Shortly after she enters, we she her throw all of Hana’s stuff out the door. 31

INT. HOTEL LOUNGE - MORNING

31

Hana huffs in. HANA DORIS!!!!!!! DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last. HANA Why is there a mad woman trying to steal my room! DORIS CROCKFORD Are you referring to Ms... (consults list) How odd, she doesn’t have a last name? HANA Yes, I’m referring to the crazy woman that doesn’t have no last name! DORIS CROCKFORD Well there is a logical explanation: You only have 1 person staying now, so you need Room 1. She however had 2. Hana sees this explanation the very opposite of logical. HANA So you think it’s ok that she is now throwing all my stuff out the door? Doris look out the window to see multiple belongings flying out of Room 2. Yes. Argh!

DORIS CROCKFORD HANA

AARON’S DAD (Entering) Do we have someone new?

18.

HANA Yes - a maniac. They watch the stuff flying out into the driveway. AARON’S DAD (Seeing Aaron there) Aaron, where have you been this morning? AARON Just - you know - walking... AARON’S DAD Did you do what I told you to? AARON What? Oh, um... (To Hana) I need to give you Sofie’s laptop I still have it. HANA Oh, ok - just come over whenever you want to... 32

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - DAY

32

Aaron is bringing the laptop back to Hana, but hears muttering come from Room 2. Carefully, he eavesdrops. TRACEY (O.S.) No. No. No. It wasn’t there was it? Why isn’t it here? There’s no way she took it with her. It must be here! But there’s no way it can’t be here - I made sure I didn’t chuck it out! I couldn’t have missed it! She sounds to get more and more agitated. TRACEY (O.S.) Unless that girl already had it! No, there’s no way that she could of - I saw her - there’s no way you can hide a laptop!... Aaron looks down to the laptop in his hands and rushes back to Room 3 33

INT. MOTEL ROOM 3 - DAY Aaron shuts the door behind him, laptop still in hand.

33

19.

AARON’S DAD Why do you still have that? AARON The crazy woman wants it - I need to keep it safe. AARON’S DAD What? No. You need to go over to Hana and give it to her. AARON No, you don’t understand! I think the crazy woman - Tracey - only came her for this. I need to go tell Hana! And Aaron dashes out, leaving the laptop there with his dad. 34

INT. MOTEL ROOM 1 - DAY

34

Aaron knocks on the door and opens without waiting. Hana!

AARON

HANA Oh, hi Aaron. I guess you have -? AARON No, not yet. You won’t believe what I just heard. EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - DAY Aaron's Dad is walking over to Room 1, laptop in hand, when Tracey comes out of her room in a big huff. TRACEY Oh, hi there. She is about to walk past, but then she sees what he is holding and retreats. TRACEY Nice, er, laptop..... Yours? Aaron’s Dad turns around. AARON’S DAD I was just - going to give (He notices a smile form on Tracey’s face) Um, I was just going to get something else from my car.

20.

He walks off in another direction. Tracey knows that’s not what he planned to do. 35

INT. MOTEL ROOM 1 - DAY

35

HANA But why? Why hers? What so important about it? But they both turn, they’ve heard from outside a yell of glee, and it’s coming from Tracey. Aaron sees his father on the opposite side of the establishment - and he can see the laptop. It’s not well. 36

INT. MOTEL ROOM 3 - NIGHT

36

Aaron sleeps, laptop next to his bed. AARON (V.O.) So that night, I couldn’t get to sleep. And it just wasn’t cos the crazy lady wanted to steal the laptop which was in our room, it was because of the Baa! 37

SHEEP (O.S.)

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - NIGHT Aaron approaches the Sheep. AARON Hey there sheep. The Sheep just lays there helplessly. AARON You look better than the other day, you know. Baa!

SHEEP

TRACEY (O.S.) (From Room 2) Blasted sheep! Aaron looks towards her room with the evil eyes. AARON You are alright, aren’t you Sheepie? There’s nothing wrong with you.

37

21.

Aaron smiles to the Sheep. AARON Apart from a fractured leg, I suppose.. Baa!

SHEEP

TRACEY (O.S.) I told you to SHUT UP! Let me get some sleep! You shouldn’t be barking at all hours of the night you should be cut up and served as dinner - that’s what you deserve! Tracey opens the blinds here, and comes face to face with Aaron. She looks lividly at him, then closes them again. Baa...

SHEEP

AARON Don’t listen to her. She’s an evil tart. 38

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - NIGHT

38

Even after Aaron leaves, Tracey can’t sleep, she ponders there, thinking evol thoughts. TRACEY She shouldn’t have. She couldn’t have - No! That’s impossible she did! Tracey starts to lose it. But then suddenly is normal - or as normal as possible, again. TRACEY I need it. It’s the best way - the only way - at least I think so. My thinking is the best thinking anyway! Just like my thinking about the sheep. FLY THROUGH THE WALL: 39

INT. MOTEL ROOM 1 - NIGHT Hana is fast asleep HANA (In her sleep/snoring) Sheepes!

22.

40

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - NIGHT

It is before dawn, but Tracey is sneaking out of her Room. It is so early that the Sheep is not even Baaing yet. Tracey’s shadow covers it. Baa. 41

MOTEL ROOM 1

43

Hana comes out of her room, stretching her arms, to find Doris there, fresh towels in hand. DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last. She tries to shake hands without dropping the towels. HANA (Yawning) I had a really good sleep tonight Doris - can’t figure out what’s different.. DORIS CROCKFORD That’ll be this hand moisturiser I put on. (Looks at her hand) Makes hand-shaking so much smoother... Hana has an :err: look on her face. PAN OVER TO: 44

MOTEL ROOM 3 AARON’S MUM (Looking out of his room) Aaron?! AARON (Coming up behind him) Yes, Mum?

44

23.

AARON’S MUM Oh, you’re still here? Usually you’re gone before we wake up! AARON No, I’m not. The sheep didn’t wake me up this morning. 45

THE SHEEP’S AREA

45

Nothing is there anymore. Aaron walks over to it slowly, shocked. 46

INT. MOTEL LOUNGE - MORNING

46

Hana, Doris and Aaron’s family are in there. AARON’S DAD So first Sofie disappears and now the Sheep does? Hana nods but does not say anything. AARON’S DAD I’m not sure I want to stay here anymore But -

AARON’S MUM

They both start a whispered conversation between themselves. Aaron and Hana exchange glances, but do not say anything either. Suddenly Tracey comes in, obviously come back from travelling. Aaron’s parents jump. TRACEY Oh, we all here are we? AARON’S DAD I forgot about you! It never crossed my mind that you weren’t here either and then they’d have been 3 people missing! TRACEY Three? Why 3? Who else is gone. The sheep

AARON

Aaron looks straight into Tracey’s eyes.

24.

TRACEY Oh .... Really? .... What a shame ... Oh, look at the time She starts to leave for her room. TRACEY Oh, Doris? Is there anyway I can get a larger fridge in my room? DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last! TRACEY Yes, I think we’ve been over that. Extra fridge? My room? DORIS CROCKFORD Yes, actually that isn’t such a bad idea to have 2 fridges in Room 2. Doris looks around DORIS CROCKFORD (Grabbing the one next to her) Here, have this one. Tracey doesn’t even tell her to unplug it - she just smiles and walks to her room. 47

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - DAY

47

Tracey sits in her room, evolly plotting, eating .. Lamb chops. Tracey’s mind is so far away in evolness, that she starts to hear noises... Coming from Room 3... It sounds like a computer... Tap tap tap.. Tap tap.. Tap tap tap tap.. Then she hears a car leave: It’s Aaron’s family going on a day trip. Tracey slips outside. 48

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - DAY Tracey moves towards Room 3 and grasps for the handle, but its locked, she sniffs the air for ideas, but suddenly she hears something and hides. Doris is coming out of the Lounge, humming. Hana hears the humming and opens her door. HANA (O.S.) Hi again Doris Crockford. Before you ask, we’ve met before.

48

25.

DORIS CROCKFORD (O.S.) Fascinating! Hana allows Doris in and Tracey comes out of hiding. She goes into the Lounge. 49

INT. MOTEL LOUNGE - DAY

49

Tracey comes in carefully, and goes looking for the keys behind the desk. She finds 3 piles of keys: one with 1 key, one with 2 keys, one with 3 keys. They are unlabeled. She knows by now which one to pick. 50

INT. MOTEL ROOM 3 - DAY

50

Tracey is in. She squees - but not too loud - she can not be heard. Slowly and carefully she searches for Sofie’s laptop, then... She finds it, hidden under piles of Aaron’s clothes. She opens the laptop. Unpredictably, when she opens it, CoS stares at her. She smiles, not noticing who she is logged in as: ArryGrotter. 51

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - DAY

51

Hana is ushering Doris out of her Room, but stops Huh?

HANA

DORIS CROCKFORD What don’t you get? My name is Doris Crockford, and I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last! Not again

HANA

She rolls her eyes, and watches Doris walk away, shaking her head. She is about to turn when she notices the door to Room 3 ajar. She looks at the driveway: Aaron’s family’s car is gone. She goes over to investigate. 52

INT. MOTEL ROOM 3 - DAY Tracey is finishing a message post to Lilyrose: TRACEY ...and make sure you enjoy the rest of your life - cos I’m gonna make sure that it’s not gonna be much longer.

52

26.

She looks over the message and smiles. But there’s something missing. She finishes it off with a rude remark. As she hits send, she hears the door to Room 3 open, and she slams the laptop shut, not noticing that it now looks like one ‘ArryGrotter’ wrote that, not ‘SofieBoardroomScene’ like she expected... HANA (Seeing Tracey) What’s your problem? Why did you have to do this? Mainly - What is your problem woman?! TRACEY No one needs to know. All is done. Tracey walks straight past Hana and out the door, leaving Hana confused. 53

EXT. MOTEL IN THE WOP-WOPS - DAY

53

Tracey feels relieved, she starts to walk slowly and more calmly than she ever has down the driveway. She doesn’t even flinch when Aaron’s family comes back. They get out of the car, confused. Hana come up to them, but is too confused herself to explain. Tracey keeps on walking, and walking. She is finally on the edge of the road, where she outlooks on life. She turns back, and looks like what could be an evol grin, but The Sheep Chorus charge down the road - straight at Tracey, who is caught in it, and can’t get out of it. Leader of the sheepes is no other than: SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE Charge! Yes she is the one that killed poor Sheepie! SHEEP CHORUS Baa, Baa, Baa, Baa, Baa, Baa, Baa! Hana’s face lits up at Sofie’s return and Aaron smiles. Sofie comes up to them all. DORIS CROCKFORD (Just then joining the group) Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last! How?

AARON

HANA What happened?

27.

AARON’S DAD We thought you were dead. SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE Oh, I wasn’t dead. I got called by this lovely lady (points to the frail Tracey on the pavement, having been run over multiple times by the Sheep) Telling me to meet her on the outskirts of town for work reasons, but then when I go there, she’s not there, but who are there are these horrible evol people, and they kept me hostage. AARON’S MUM Oh, dear... SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE It was alright, cos in there I made friends with all the sheep, and without them... She beams HANA But why did she want your computer? SOFIE BOARDROOM SCENE I heard she has this thing against this person on there - Lilyrose or something... I’m friends with her on CoS - she probably wanted to sabotage our friendship.. Did she, by the way?... HANA She was just on the computer when I caught her? AARON In my room? Yeah

HANA

Hana, Sofie and Aaron all look at each other... 54

INT. GERTIE’S HOUSE - NIGHT

54

Gertiekeddle is eating chocolate and moderating CoS. She comes across the message ‘from Aaron’, and can’t believe what she is seeing.

28.

She deletes it and sets to work on warning him. When she is finished, she opens another packet of chocolate. 55

INT. MOTEL LOUNGE - DAY Hana, Sofie and Aaron’s family are together in the lounge. AARON (V.O.) Well, I talked it over with Gertie in the end. She understood and I lost the warning. She’s a nice admin who doesn’t prefer Indy smilies to yamn ones. I just got a warning to watch out for crazy ladies like Tracey. Tracey somehow disappeared after she got trampled. She’ll be back no doubt. Hopefully not with me, though. Hana got moved back in to Room 2 now that Sofie had returned. This time Hana did the honours of chucking out Tracey’s stuff - again this mysteriously disappeared... We stayed at the motel for a few more days, hearing all of Sofie’s stories about her disappearance, and also about her adventures on CoS. As much as I wasn’t looking forward to my holiday, it’d turned out not too bad. But there was one more surprise. Afterall, It’s not too often that a Room at Doris’s Motel was empty... SoFie comes in. SOFIE Hello, there. DORIS CROCKFORD Doris Crockford. I can’t believe I’m meeting you at last? SOFIE Have we met before? DORIS CROCKFORD What’s your name? SoFie.

SOFIE

Sofie Boardroom Scene turns around. DORIS CROCKFORD Ah, yes, you are in Room 2, remember?

55

29.

HANA No, Doris, this is another Sofie. She should be in Room 1. SOFIE Yeah, I’m new. I took the wrong plane - I’m sure it said it was going to India. (She blushes) I can live with New Zealand! AARON’S MUM Wait a second, so you are Sofie, and you are Sofie too? AARON’S DAD (Jokingly) Who’s the real Sofie?! AARON Will the real Sofie please stand up! 56
