INT. THE BOYS' BATHROOM – CONT'D
Vegas is still chuckling at his homies, who all seem terrified of the bleeding, glowing spell book in his hands.
VEGAS
You guys are p*****s!
Blood continues to pour out of the spellbook, sliding all over Vegas's hands and dripping all over the floor. The glow coming from the book was VIOLENT.
CHARLES
Don't be stupid, EH! This spell book has a lot of power, okay?
JINJY
Man, what are you up to, Blondie? Why did Charles have to smuggle this weird ass Grimoire into the school? Is this a banned item?
VEGAS
You're worried about me smuggling banned items into the school? You're a drug dealer!
JINJY
I'm a witch doctor! It's different...
JINJY
(Unsure of himself)
Anyway, we're talking about you right now, Beltran!
Toad, still playing the switch, pipes up.
TOAD
Vegas is tryna bring Portia Bon Moon back from the dead. As you all should know, bringing back the dead is absolutely forbidden in Absolution Academy...hell, it's forbidden anywhere in the magic world! He could get in serious trouble for even trying to perform a resurrection spell on the school campus.
He turns the switch around to play at a different angle.
TOAD
No way a bullshit ass magic school like Absolution would let any of us deal with real power. So, Vegas had to have Charles smuggle some ancient spell book into the school. This thing will probably eat us all before it brings anything back from the dead, but it's worth a shot, right?
When Toad finally looks up into Vegas' eyes, he sees they are burning with anger.
TOAD
Oh, my bad. Was that supposed to be a secret?
Shrugs and goes back to his game, ignoring him.
TOAD
Get me out of this freakin' mirror, b***h!
VEGAS
ROT in that mirror, Toad!
BUCK
Hold on, hold on, hold on... You're trying to bring back Eddie's sister?
VEGAS
Yeah, Portia...why?
BUCK
(Laughs)
Yeah, maybe if you bring back his sister from the dead, he'll chill out a little in demonology class!
VEGAS
What? What are you talking about?
KEVIN
Demonology class?
SCOOBY
Eddie's outta the hospital?
BUCK
Yeah, he got out last week.
He takes another puff of his joint and laughs.
BUCK
That little ninja running amok over there at the Golden Redemption School. We haven't gotten through a full class since he's been there.
Vegas looks hurt and confused.
VEGAS
Eddie's back in school, and he didn't tell us?
SCOOBY
Because he's defected! You heard Buck. He's at the demon hunters' school now!
Vegas shakes his head, the look of worry still on his face.
VEGAS
Something happened between Portia and Chris right before her death. I don't know what, but Eddie seems really pissed about it. I can't believe he's mad enough to give up on magic, though.
SCOOBY
Hey, Vegas, if this was Chris' girlfriend, why are you getting involved?
VEGAS
I don't know. Chris got it into his head that I can actually raise the dead. And if I don't, he's going to clobber me.
ASTRO
Nobody can raise the dead. It's impossible!
TOAD
If it were impossible, it wouldn't be outlawed.
Astro wraps his arm around Vegas' shoulder, bringing him close.
ASTRO
Alright! Toad's logic holds. But still, if you're gonna do this thing in Vegas, you gotta be smart about it!
VEGAS
Look, all I care about is getting my friends back together. Buck is right. Maybe if I can give Eddie his sister back, we can all be friends again like we were before.
VEGAS
Hell, I already lost my uncle Kaye. I can't lose Seth, Eddie, and Chris, too!
CHARLES
But if you've got that kinda power, why are you going to waste it on some other guy's chick?
KEVIN
Yeah, man, forget the sister! If you're gonna bring someone back from the dead, bring back Michael Jackson!
SCOOBY
No! You have to bring back someone who can tell us the truth about conspiracy theories and Alien cover-ups, like the Kennedys!
CHARLES
My vote is for Jackson! Music keeps getting worse, maybe he can drop a new album for us!
Charles "HEE-HEE-HEE'S" spins and breaks out into a moonwalk.
Kevin starts singing "Thriller" as everyone but Vegas laughs.
VEGAS
This isn't a JOKE! You guys can't tell anyone about this! I'm serious!
SCOOBY
C'mon, Vegas, man. You're never serious about anything!
Vegas hears Scooby's words and looks into the mirror, disheartened, but doesn't see anything but Toad.
Toad looks at Vegas empathetically at first, but then remembers Vegas is the reason he's trapped in a parallel dimension.
TOAD
Bitch!
He goes back to playing the switch.
Vegas frowns. His friends clowning him has shaken his confidence a bit.
Buck tries a Michael Jackson spin. He slips and crashes into Scooby and Jinjy. They all tumble to the floor.
INT. THE HALLWAY OUTSIDE OF THE BOYS' BATHROOM
Professor Diaz and Beetle Bangz position themselves right behind the door. Rahbeem takes his place right behind them.
He didn't know what to expect on the other side of the door, but seeing how tense Professor Diaz and Beetle Bangz were put him on edge, too.
BEETLE BANGZ
C'mon! Let's see what them knuckleheads are up to!
RAHBEEM
(Nods)
Right!
PROFESSOR DIAZ
You ready?
BEETLE BANGZ
Let's go!
Rahbeem takes in a deep breath, his adrenaline pumping hard. He knew he was about to see some crazy s**t. But nothing could have prepared him for this...
