   Rude Witch? 
   
   EXT. TOWER BRIDGE - AFTERNOON 
   
   Considerate waitress LADY AMOR BLACKMAN is arguing with loving mechanic MR. ARCHER PARKER. AMOR tries to hug ARCHER but she shakes her off. 
     
   AMOR Please Archer, don't leave me. 
     
     
   ARCHER I'm sorry Amor, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces her fears head on, instead of running away. 
     
     
   AMOR I am such a person! 
     
   ARCHER frowns. 
     
   ARCHER I'm sorry, Amor. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore. 
     
   ARCHER leaves. 
   AMOR sits down, looking defeated. 
   Moments later, hilarious Chef LADY CHARLOTTE WILLIS barges in looking flustered. 
     
   AMOR Goodness, Charlotte! Is everything okay? 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE I'm afraid not. 
     
     
   AMOR What is it? Don't keep me in suspense... 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE It's ... a Witch ... I saw an evil Witch kill a bunch of Regulars at the cafe! 
     
     
   AMOR Defenseless  Regulars at the cafe? 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE Yes, defenseless Regulars at the cafe! 
     
     
   AMOR Bloomin' heck, Charlotte! We've got to do something. 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start. 
     
     
   AMOR You can start by telling me where this happened. 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE I was... 
     
   CHARLOTTE fans herself and begins to wheeze. 
     
   AMOR Focus Charlotte, focus! Where did it happen? 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE a book shop! That's right - a book shop! 
     
   AMOR springs up and begins to run. 
     
   
   EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS 
   
   AMOR rushes along the street, followed by CHARLOTTE. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way. 
     
   
   EXT. A BOOK SHOP - SHORTLY AFTER 
   
   CHARITY GUMP a rude Witch terrorises two Regulars at the cafe. 
   AMOR, closely followed by CHARLOTTE, rushes towards CHARITY, but suddenly stops in her tracks. 
     
   CHARLOTTE What is is? What's the matter? 
     
     
   AMOR That's not just any old Witch, that's Charity Gump! 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE Who's Charity Gump? 
     
     
   AMOR Who's Charity Gump?  Who's Charity Gump?  Only the most rude Witch in the universe! 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE Blinkin' knickers, Amor! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most rude Witch in the universe! 
     
     
   AMOR You can say that again. 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE Blinkin' knickers, Amor! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most rude Witch in the universe! 
     
     
   AMOR I'm going to need gun, lots of gun. 
     
   Charity turns and sees Amor and Charlotte. She grins an evil grin. 
     
   CHARITY Amor Blackman, we meet again. 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE You've met? 
     
     
   AMOR Yes. It was a long, long time ago... 
     
     
   
   EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME 
   
   A young AMOR is sitting in a park listening to some classical music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over her. 
   She looks up and sees CHARITY. She takes off her headphones. 
     
   CHARITY Would you like some toffee? 
     
   AMOR's eyes light up, but then he studies CHARITY more closely, and looks uneasy. 
     
   AMOR I don't know, you look kind of rude. 
     
     
   CHARITY Me? No. I'm not rude. I'm the least rude Witch in the world. 
     
     
   AMOR Wait, you're a Witch? 
     
   AMOR runs away, screaming. 
     
   
   EXT. A BOOK SHOP - PRESENT DAY 
   
     
   CHARITY You were a coward then, and you are a coward now. 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE (To AMOR) You ran away? 
     
     
   AMOR (To CHARLOTTE) I was a young child. What was I supposed to do? 
     
   AMOR turns to CHARITY. 
     
   AMOR I may have run away from you then, but I won't run away this time! 
     
   AMOR runs away. 
   She turns back and shouts. 
     
   AMOR I mean, I  am  running away, but I'll be back -  with gun . 
     
     
   CHARITY I'm not scared of you. 
     
     
   AMOR You should be. 
     
     
   
   INT. A SMALL CAFE - LATER THAT DAY 
   
   AMOR and CHARLOTTE walk around searching for something. 
     
   AMOR I feel sure I left my gun somewhere around here. 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE Are you sure? It does seem like an odd place to keep deadly gun. 
     
     
   AMOR You know nothing Charlotte Willis. 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE We've been searching for ages. I really don't think they're here. 
     
   Suddenly, CHARITY appears, holding a pair of gun. 
     
   CHARITY Looking for something? 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE Crikey, Amor, she's got your gun. 
     
     
   AMOR Tell me something I don't already know! 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE The earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,075 km. 
     
     
   AMOR I know that already! 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE you're my mirror self. 
     
     
   CHARITY (appalled) Dude! 
     
   While CHARITY is looking at CHARLOTTE with disgust, AMOR lunges forward and grabs her deadly gun. He wields them, triumphantly. 
     
   AMOR Prepare to die, you rude sprout! 
     
     
   CHARITY No please! All I did was kill a bunch of Regulars at the cafe! 
     
   ARCHER enters, unseen by any of the others. 
     
   AMOR I cannot tolerate that kind of behaviour! Those Regulars at the cafe were defenceless! Well now they have a defender - and that's me! Amor Blackman defender of innocent Regulars at the cafe. 
     
     
   CHARITY Don't hurt me! Please! 
     
     
   AMOR Give me one good reason why I shouldn't use these gun on you right away! 
     
     
   CHARITY Because Amor, I am your mother. 
     
   AMOR looks stunned for a few moments, but then collects herself. 
     
   AMOR No you're not! 
     
     
   CHARITY Ah well, it had to be worth a try. 
     
   CHARITY tries to grab the gun but AMOR dodges out of the way. 
     
   AMOR Who's the mummy now? Huh?  Huh? 
     
   Unexpectedly, CHARITY slumps to the ground. 
     
   CHARLOTTE Did she just faint? 
     
     
   AMOR I think so. Well that's disappointing. I was rather hoping for a more dramatic conclusion, involving my deadly gun. 
     
   AMOR crouches over CHARITY's body. 
     
   CHARLOTTE Be careful, Amor. It could be a trick. 
     
     
   AMOR No, it's not a trick. It appears that... It would seem... Charity Gump is dead! 
     
     
   AMOR What? 
     
     
   AMOR Yes, it appears that I scared her to death. 
     
   CHARLOTTE claps her hands. 
     
   CHARLOTTE So your gun did save the day, after all. 
     
   ARCHER steps forward. 
     
   ARCHER Is it true? Did you kill the rude Witch? 
     
     
   AMOR Archer how long have you been...? 
     
   ARCHER puts her arm around AMOR. 
     
   ARCHER Long enough. 
     
     
   AMOR Then you saw it for yourself. I killed Charity Gump. 
     
     
   ARCHER Then the Regulars at the cafe are safe? 
     
     
   AMOR It does seem that way! 
     
   A crowd of vulnerable Regulars at the cafe enter, looking relived. 
     
   ARCHER You are their hero. 
     
   The Regulars at the cafe bow to AMOR. 
     
   AMOR There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that Charity Gump will never kill Regulars at the cafe ever again, is enough for me. 
     
     
   ARCHER You are humble as well as brave! 
     
   One of the Regulars at the cafe passes AMOR a magic necklace 
     
   ARCHER I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude. 
     
     
   AMOR I couldn't possibly. 
     
   Pause. 
     
   AMOR Well, if you insist. 
     
   AMOR takes the necklace. 
     
   AMOR Thank you. 
     
   The Regulars at the cafe bow their heads once more, and leave. 
   AMOR turns to ARCHER. 
     
   AMOR Does this mean you want me back? 
     
     
   ARCHER Oh, Amor, of course I want you back! 
     
   AMOR smiles for a few seconds, but then looks defiant. 
     
   AMOR Well you can't have me. 
     
     
   ARCHER WHAT? 
     
     
   AMOR You had no faith in me. You had to see my scare a Witch to death before you would believe in me. I don't want a lover like that. 
     
     
   ARCHER But... 
     
     
   AMOR Please leave. I want to spend time with the one person who stayed with me through thick and thin - my best friend, Charlotte. 
     
   CHARLOTTE grins. 
     
   ARCHER But... 
     
     
   CHARLOTTE You heard the lady. Now be off with you. Skidaddle! Shoo! 
     
     
   ARCHER Amor? 
     
     
   AMOR I'm sorry Archer, but I think you  should  skidaddle. 
     
   ARCHER leaves. 
   CHARLOTTE turns to AMOR. 
     
   CHARLOTTE Did you mean that? You know ... that I'm your best friend? 
     
     
   AMOR Of course you are! 
     
   The two walk off arm in arm. 
   Suddenly CHARLOTTE stops. 
     
   CHARLOTTE When I said you're my mirror self, you know I was just trying to distract the Witch don't you? 
     
     
   THE END

   INT. A SWEET SHOP - AFTERNOON 
   
   Articulate scout DR MATTHEW GLOOP is arguing with articulate hairdresser MRS CHLOE BUTTERSCOTCH. MATTHEW tries to hug CHLOE but she shakes him off. 
     
   MATTHEW Please Chloe, don't leave me. 
     
     
   CHLOE I'm sorry Matthew, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces his fears head on, instead of running away.

   CHLOE frowns. 
     
   CHLOE I'm sorry, Matthew. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore. 
     
   CHLOE leaves. 
   MATTHEW sits down, looking defeated. 
   Moments later, down to earth gardener MR TONY RANDALL barges in looking flustered. 
     
   MATTHEW Goodness, Tony! Is everything okay? 
     
     
   TONY I'm afraid not. 
     
     
   MATTHEW What is it? Don't keep me in suspense... 
     
     
   TONY It's ... a zombie ... I saw an evil zombie burgle a bunch of swimmers! 
     
     
   MATTHEW Defenseless  swimmers? 
     
     
   TONY Yes, defenseless swimmers! 
     
     
   MATTHEW Bloomin' heck, Tony! We've got to do something. 
     
     
   TONY I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start. 
     
     
   MATTHEW You can start by telling me where this happened.

   TONY fans himself and begins to wheeze. 
     
   MATTHEW Focus Tony, focus! Where did it happen?

   MATTHEW, closely followed by TONY, rushes towards FOREST, but suddenly stops in his tracks. 
     
   TONY What is is? What's the matter? 
     
     
   MATTHEW That's not just any old zombie, that's Forest Parker! 
     
     
   TONY Who's Forest Parker? 
     
     
   MATTHEW Who's Forest Parker?  Who's Forest Parker?  Only the most cold-blooded zombie in the universe!

   MATTHEW I'm going to need candlesticks, lots of candlesticks. 
     
   Forest turns and sees Matthew and Tony. He grins an evil grin. 
     
   FOREST Matthew Gloop, we meet again. 
     
     
   TONY You've met? 
     
     
   MATTHEW Yes. It was a long, long time ago...

   A young MATTHEW is sitting in a park listening to some flute music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over him. 
   He looks up and sees FOREST. He takes off his headphones. 
     
   FOREST Would you like some white mice? 
     
   MATTHEW's eyes light up, but then he studies FOREST more closely, and looks uneasy. 
     
   MATTHEW I don't know, you look kind of cold-blooded. 
     
     
   FOREST Me? No. I'm not cold-blooded. I'm the least cold-blooded zombie in the world. 
     
     
   MATTHEW Wait, you're a zombie? 
     
   MATTHEW runs away, screaming.

   FAIRYDUST Wenna Blacksmith, we meet again. 
     
     
   KATY You've met? 
     
     
   WENNA Yes. It was a long, long time ago... 
     
     
   
   EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME 
   
   A young WENNA is sitting in a park listening to some classical music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over her. 
   She looks up and sees FAIRYDUST. She takes off her headphones. 
     
   FAIRYDUST Would you like some jelly tots? 
     
   WENNA's eyes light up, but then he studies FAIRYDUST more closely, and looks uneasy. 
     
   WENNA I don't know, you look kind of thoughtless. 
     
     
   FAIRYDUST Me? No. I'm not thoughtless. I'm the least thoughtless ghost in the world. 
     
     
   WENNA Wait, you're a ghost? 
     
   WENNA runs away, screaming. 
     
   
   EXT. A BOOK SHOP - PRESENT DAY 
   
     
   FAIRYDUST You were a coward then, and you are a coward now. 
     
     
   KATY (To WENNA) You ran away? 
     
     
   WENNA (To KATY) I was a young child. What was I supposed to do? 
     
   WENNA turns to FAIRYDUST. 
     
   WENNA I may have run away from you then, but I won't run away this time! 
     
   WENNA runs away. 
   She turns back and shouts. 
     
   WENNA I mean, I  am  running away, but I'll be back -  with rainbows . 
     
     
   FAIRYDUST I'm not scared of you. 
     
     
   WENNA You should be. 
     
     
   
   EXT. A LIBRARY - LATER THAT DAY 
   
   WENNA and KATY walk around searching for something. 
     
   WENNA I feel sure I left my rainbows somewhere around here. 
     
     
   KATY Are you sure? It does seem like an odd place to keep deadly rainbows. 
     
     
   WENNA You know nothing Katy Walker. 
     
     
   KATY We've been searching for ages. I really don't think they're here. 
     
   Suddenly, FAIRYDUST appears, holding a pair of rainbows. 
     
   FAIRYDUST Looking for something? 
     
     
   KATY Crikey, Wenna, she's got your rainbows. 
     
     
   WENNA Tell me something I don't already know! 
     
     
   KATY The earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,075 km. 
     
     
   WENNA I know that already! 
     
     
   KATY I bite my toenails. 
     
     
   FAIRYDUST (appalled) Dude! 
     
   While FAIRYDUST is looking at KATY with disgust, WENNA lunges forward and grabs her deadly rainbows. He wields them, triumphantly. 
     
   WENNA Prepare to die, you thoughtless carrot! 
     
     
   FAIRYDUST No please! All I did was terrify a bunch of children! 
     
   HECTOR enters, unseen by any of the others. 
     
   WENNA I cannot tolerate that kind of behaviour! Those children were defenceless! Well now they have a defender - and that's me! Wenna Blacksmith defender of innocent children. 
     
     
   FAIRYDUST Don't hurt me! Please! 
     
     
   WENNA Give me one good reason why I shouldn't use these rainbows on you right away! 
     
     
   FAIRYDUST Because Wenna, I am your mother. 
     
   WENNA looks stunned for a few moments, but then collects herself. 
     
   WENNA No you're not! 
     
     
   FAIRYDUST Ah well, it had to be worth a try. 
     
   FAIRYDUST tries to grab the rainbows but WENNA dodges out of the way. 
     
   WENNA Who's the mummy now? Huh?  Huh? 
     
   Unexpectedly, FAIRYDUST slumps to the ground. 
     
   KATY Did she just faint? 
     
     
   WENNA I think so. Well that's disappointing. I was rather hoping for a more dramatic conclusion, involving my deadly rainbows. 
     
   WENNA crouches over FAIRYDUST's body. 
     
   KATY Be careful, Wenna. It could be a trick. 
     
     
   WENNA No, it's not a trick. It appears that... It would seem... Fairydust Williams is dead! 
     
     
   WENNA What? 
     
     
   WENNA Yes, it appears that I scared her to death. 
     
   KATY claps her hands. 
     
   KATY So your rainbows did save the day, after all. 
     
   HECTOR steps forward. 
     
   HECTOR Is it true? Did you kill the thoughtless ghost? 
     
     
   WENNA Hector how long have you been...? 
     
   HECTOR puts his arm around WENNA. 
     
   HECTOR Long enough. 
     
     
   WENNA Then you saw it for yourself. I killed Fairydust Williams. 
     
     
   HECTOR Then the children are safe? 
     
     
   WENNA It does seem that way! 
     
   A crowd of vulnerable children enter, looking relived. 
     
   HECTOR You are their hero. 
     
   The children bow to WENNA. 
     
   WENNA There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that Fairydust Williams will never terrify children ever again, is enough for me. 
     
     
   HECTOR You are humble as well as brave! 
     
   One of the children passes WENNA a tinkling necklace 
     
   HECTOR I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude. 
     
     
   WENNA I couldn't possibly. 
     
   Pause. 
     
   WENNA Well, if you insist. 
     
   WENNA takes the necklace. 
     
   WENNA Thank you. 
     
   The children bow their heads once more, and leave. 
   WENNA turns to HECTOR. 
     
   WENNA Does this mean you want me back? 
     
     
   HECTOR Oh, Wenna, of course I want you back! 
     
   WENNA smiles for a few seconds, but then looks defiant. 
     
   WENNA Well you can't have me. 
     
     
   HECTOR WHAT? 
     
     
   WENNA You had no faith in me. You had to see my scare a ghost to death before you would believe in me. I don't want a lover like that. 
     
     
   HECTOR But... 
     
     
   WENNA Please leave. I want to spend time with the one person who stayed with me through thick and thin - my best friend, Katy. 
     
   KATY grins. 
     
   HECTOR But... 
     
     
   KATY You heard the lady. Now be off with you. Skidaddle! Shoo! 
     
     
   HECTOR Wenna? 
     
     
   WENNA I'm sorry Hector, but I think you  should  skidaddle. 
     
   HECTOR leaves. 
   KATY turns to WENNA. 
     
   KATY Did you mean that? You know ... that I'm your best friend? 
     
     
   WENNA Of course you are! 
     
   The two walk off arm in arm.
