Everyone ready to find Davy and Mike?
Valerie: And Peter, too! I know there's something wrong with him...
Micky: Ready.
Lauren: Me, too.
Daphne: Poor Davy...
(We open in the Rainbow Room at Micky and Lauren's house. Emma has Robbie on her lap. Katie leans against her mother, worried. Jordan sits on his mother's lap, cuddling against her chest.)
Emma: We have to find them!
Valerie: I don't think it'll be hard to find DAVY. It's just a matter of talking to him.
Micky: *comes in from the backyard* I'm still not sure we'll be able to talk to him like this. We need to shrink him back down first.
Lauren: Speaking of, Mick, how's the laser coming?
Micky: I THINK it's done. But I need to test it. I need something to use to test it on.
Emma: Do we have ANYTHING we want to shrink?
Katie: Can I shrink?
Emma: No, Katie. I was hoping for something that isn't a person.
Katie: Awww!
Valerie: What about one of those massive stuffed animals Lauren and the kids' have?
Lauren: Touch them, Mick, and you get a one-way trip to the moon. *shakes a fist at him*
Valerie: I didn't mean one of yours! How about one of the kids' larger toys?
Micky: (Light bulb) I got it. *blue lights a plate into his hand* Here's goes nothing. Anyone wanna watch?
Emma: Sure.
Katie: Make little!
Jordan: Not us?
Valerie: No, Jordan, Uncle Micky is just making the plate little this time, not any of us.
*Everyone piles out onto the back deck as Micky heads down to the grass when the laser is set up.*
Micky: *sets the plate on the ground, then goes to the laser* Okay, here we go. *lines up the laser, then pushes a button*
*A red beam shoots from the laser, hitting the plate dead-center. It glows...then shrinks down until it's tiny. The glow fades, and the beam goes off.*
Micky: *wide grin* YES! It worked!
Katie: Cool!
Jordan: (His little mouth drops open as far as it'll go) Wow!
Valerie: Nice job, Mick.
Emma: But what will you serve on such a little plate?
Valerie: Maybe Shelly could use it for tea parties.
Micky: Who cares? It worked!
Emma: Ok, now that we know it works...how are we going to get it to him?
Valerie: And get past the devils?
Emma: (Looks at Daphne) Daph, can you feel Davy?
Daphne: Yeah, and he's still confused.
Emma: Daph, could you try talking to him? You are his wife.
Daphne: Sure, I can try.
Valerie: You're probably the only one who CAN talk to him.
Emma: He sure doesn't seem to want to listen to the guys.
Micky: I've proven that twice already.
Valerie: (Puts her hand on her heart) Peter's not right, either. He's...happy, but...it's almost too...wrong.
Emma: (Puts her hand on her heart) Mike's ok. He's just angry and annoyed...and a little surprised.
Micky: We need to load the laser into Rosemarie and go find them.
Emma: And we need a better plan. We're going to figure out how to surprise the Devils.
Katie: (Tugs on her mother's sleeve) Mama, can the twins n' I play dress up now?
Emma: No, Katie. You're going to Mrs. Marion's soon...
Valerie: Dress up... (Brightens) What if we dressed-up Rosemarie?
Emma: You mean, like camouflage?
Valerie: Sort of. (Looks at the twins and Katie) What kind of dress-ups do you guys have?
Emma: I know Katie has some old stuff we may be able to use.
Valerie: (Takes Jordan's hand) Why don't we check it out?
Katie: Come on, Mama! (She grabs her mother's hand and pulls her upstairs. The others follow)
(Cut to Davy walking in an area just outside of LA. Sheila, Nyles, and Alex are on his shoulders again.)
Sheila: We're almost in LA, David. (Sighs) How is the White Knight? I wish he hadn't struggled so much. I really did want him human.
Davy: 'E's fine. 'E's in my shirt pocket.
Shadow: (From Davy's pants pocket) Don't worry, Sheila. We'll return him to his human state when we go back to Arizona to...(smirk in his voice) work on him.
Sheila: I just want him in bed! I'm feeling...urges.
Alex: And to think that you pick on ME for feeling urges.
Sheila: What's that?
Shadow: (Under his breath as a hand goes to the heart area; softly) Honey...
(Sheila points to something covered with streams of gaudy fabric buzzing through the clouds.)
Nyles: Looks like a huge, flying, ugly pinata!
Sheila: It looks like someone tried making an airplane into a quilt.
(The plane hovers by Davy's shoulder. A young woman in huge glasses and a long, ruffled pale-blue gown leans out of the "plane.")
Young Woman: (Tugs at a curly lock of golden brown hair) Hello, we are your airborne costume rental service!
Redhead: (A redheaded woman in a long, flowing gold metallic flower-print gown with a long braid adds) Your store for outrageous outfits in the sky!
Sheila: What on EARTH...
Shadow: Don't believe them!
Redhead: (Puts her hand on her heart) What...
Shadow: Davy, that's not a floating costume caravan. It's the Guardians! They've come to shoot at you again!
Emma: Davy, no! We're your friends! Mike is, too!
Redhead: Peter! (She turns large eyes to Davy and the devils) Peter! He's here! Where is he?
Sheila: Not tellin' you. (Looks up at Davy) David, crush them and get us out of here.
Daphne: Davy, no! Don't listen to them!
Emma: (Mutters to Micky, who wears one of Peter's old paisley shirts under an old smoking jacket and a pair of blue silk pants) Get the laser ready. As soon as Daph gets him talking, shoot him.
Sheila: David, crush her!
Shadow: No! Don't hurt anyone!
Micky: Oh, I'm ready.
Daphne: Davy, you've got to listen to me! WE'RE your friends! We want to help!
Davy: Daphne...
Emma: Davy, give me Mike! Where is he? And why am I craving carrots and feeling stuffed?
Sheila: Nice try, Scholar, but he's ours now.
Shadow: Davy, evade them! Get them down!
Davy: *appears confused* But...
Emma: Davy, please! Mike's a father! His children need him! (Gulps) I need him.
Shadow: Don't listen, Davy!
Valerie: Davy, where's Peter? I know he's here!
Davy: 'E's...
Shadow: Davy, stop! Bring them down, but don't hurt them!
("All Alone In the Dark" begins as Davy looks from Rosemarie, to his pocket, to his shoulder.)
Emma: Davy, give me Mike.
*Davy frowns. He doesn't know what to do!*
Emma: Micky, shoot Davy while he's confused, but be careful! They have Mike!
Micky: I can't while he still has Mike! I don't want to laser to shrink him, too!
Valerie: We have to get Mike from them, and get the Devils off, too!
Emma: THEM, we can shrink.
Micky: *blinks* And does anyone know what the heck Nyles is doing with them?!
Emma: I think he still thinks Sheila is his girlfriend.
Micky: *shakes his head* I'm gonna smack him.
Emma: I have a better idea. Valerie, take us up to Davy's shoulder.
Valerie: All right, but...
Lauren: This could get dangerous.
(Emma gestures to Nyles as they fly over to him and Sheila. Sheila growls and takes a swat at them...but she almost falls off his shoulder and ends up grabbing Davy's hair instead!)
(Valerie hands Lauren the controls as she, Emma, and Micky crawl onto Davy's shoulder. Emma climbs up Davy's hair after Sheila. Val makes her way over to Davy's right shoulder and goes after Alex. Emma and Sheila are half-hidden in Davy's hair as they cat fight.)
(Valerie grabs Alex's arms and tries to get him to tell her where Peter is.)
(The Shadow moves up as far as he dares and talks into the device attached to Davy's ear.)
*Micky goes to Nyles and jerks his thumb towards Rosemarie. Nyles shakes his head. They get into a rather heated argument.*
(Emma finally gives Sheila such a shove, she almost goes flying off of Davy's head! Emma grabs her arm and tells her she'll let go if she doesn't tell her where Mike is!)
*Micky finally ends up dragging Nyles to Rosemarie and throws him into her.*
(Sheila manages to point to Davy's shirt pocket. Emma pulls Sheila onto Davy's head. She concentrates. Sheila is now in Davy's other pants pocket. Emma crawls slowly but surely over to Davy's shirt pocket. She reaches in, and after a few tries, one of which almost sends her flying, she finally plucks a soft, fuzzy black stuffed rabbit with a white bow around it's neck out of the pocket. She tosses the rabbit in Rosemarie and then joins it and the boys.)
(There's a dark blue light from the Shadow. He disappears before Valerie or Alex can reach him.)
Valerie: Where's Peter, Alex?
Alex: *raises an eyebrow* Who?
Valerie: My husband! He's here, I know he is!
Alex: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Valerie: Alex, I can feel Peter. I know he's here!
Emma: (Calls out as the music ends) Val, come on! Micky's getting the laser ready!
Alex: Bye! *disappears in black light*
Sheila: Alex, come back here! Damn it! (She finally disappears)
*Davy reaches into Rosemarie and snags Daphne. He tucks her in his shirt pocket and walks away.*
Emma: Davy, come back! Micky, shoot him!
Micky: I can't while he has Daphne!
Valerie (she appears in Rosemarie in a dark blue light): I think we really got him confused, poor guy.
Emma: Oh baby... (She hugs the stuffed rabbit. There's a blue light around it; when it subsides, she's squeezing Mike)
Mike: Em, darlin' (he leans into her), oh man, they've got Dave runnin' scared...
Valerie: I think they still have Peter, too. He was on Davy, but he's not there now.
Mike: We're gonna need more help. Someone has to distract the Devils and get Daphne away from Davy, and someone has to help Mick with the machine.
Emma: Let's go back to Micky and Lauren's house and talk about it.
Mike: (Eyes light up) Val, take us to the Municipal Airport. I know what we have to do.
Micky: *eyes widen* Wait, I heard the word airport...
Mike: Don't worry, Mick. I'll be there.
Valerie: All right, Mike. (She turns them in the direction Davy went and into the waning daylight as we fade out on the desert vistas.)
