EPISODE TWO of THREE - A TRILOGY

SYNOPSIS

At the Battle of the Bands, Destiny's Desire makes it to the top of the leader board, allowing them to make it to round two, the final round. Nine other bands make it to round two, including JB & the Tucks. After JB's perfomance, during the second round of competition, he was informed that his son was kidnapped earlier that day. That announcement forced JB to withdraw from further competition as they were tied with Destiny's Desire for top honors. Destiny's Desire refuses to accept a win by default,

Destiny's Desire receives the rest of their powers. After returning home to perfect these new additions to their arsenaal of unconventional weapons, they head to Albany to try and locate JB's son, capture his abductors, and at the same time staying out of the limelight. The secret to their success is being able to remain incognito. With Destiny's help, the four girls locate the hideout of Jeremy's abductors. Using the powers Destiny gave them, as well as their youthful agility, D & D captures the abductors, release Jeremy, return him to the police, and remain anonymous.

                                                           EXCERPT

WENDY          Have you looked at the songs yet,          Danielle? I see the folders there          on the table.

DANIELLE I was going to do that when I came into the kitchen, not expecting to see my mom home. I ended up talking to her, ever since I got down here. Now we all can look at them.

Danielle reaches for the pack of folders.

6.

LISA What are the titles of the songs?

Danielle grabs the first two folders and looks at the name on the outer tabs.

DANIELLE Let’s see! This one is called Reaching For Stardom. The second one is, Reality has eyes.

Danielle looks at the title of the third song and abruptly stops. Her eyes open wide and a moment later she checks the last one. Wendy sees the unusual expression on her friend’s face.

WENDY What’s wrong, Danielle?

Danielle’s voice sounds deathly serious.

DANIELLE Oh my God, Wendy. I just saw the titles of these last two songs.

LISA Don’t keep us in suspense, girl. What are they?

DANIELLE The third one is called Angel of Desire and the last one, get this, The Four Walls of Destiny.

LISA       (simultaneously        with WENDY) Oh wow!

DANIELLE This is freaky!

LISA No kidding!

7.

WENDY Well we know two of the songs we won’t be singing, but I wonder if Destiny has anything to do with this.

DANIELLE Get real, girl! This is all her.

WENDY Then why are there four songs when we need only one?

DANIELLE For one thing, Bill asked her for four songs, but maybe she just wants to let us choose for ourselves. She did say once she wants us to be challenged.

Judy returns to the kitchen.

JUDY How are you young ladies doing this morning?

Danielle turns to face her mother.

DANIELLE This whole thing gets freakier by the day, mom.

Judy stands in the doorway.

JUDY In what way, dear?

DANIELLE You know that the name of our band is Destiny’s Desire, right?

JUDY Yes, and...?

Danielle hands her mother two folders.

8.

DANIELLE Take a look at the titles of these two songs.

Judy takes the two folders and looks at the titles.

JUDY Whoever this Destiny is, she puts on quite a show for herself. This is almost scary.

DANIELLE Our sentiments exactly!

Front DOORBELL RINGS and is heard in the kitchen.

Wendy stands up.

WENDY That must be Dana. I’ll get it.

WENDY HEADS TO THE FRONT DOOR

Wendy opens the door.

WENDY Good morning, girl! We’re all in the kitchen and do we have a shocker for you.

Dana enters the house.

DANA After what we saw yesterday, I doubt anything could shock me any more, but I’m game.

Dana follows Wendy down the hall and into the Kitchen.
