The Séance

1.  INT. Dark Room – 2:00 am

In a dark room sit 5 girls, Kourtney, Jessi, Macy, Chelsea, Abby, and Madi. They sit in a circle and in the middle is a big pentagram outlined in red paint. A red paint bucket and paint brush are in the corner of the room, poorly hid by a Mickey Mouse blanket. Candles sit inside the pentagram and it’s the only thing lighting up the room. There is a book sitting in front of Jessi.

JESSI: It is the hour of our meeting. Welcome, sisters, to the séance of our time. We are trying to reach out to the dead to talk to Justin Bieber, who I heard was the best pop star back in the 2000s.

MACY: Wow, that’s so long ago.

ABBY: Yeah, that’s so vintage. I wonder if they had cars back then.

CHELSEA (rolling her eyes): Abby, your blond hair is getting to your brain. You know they didn’t! Cars weren’t invited until the 1920s! That was after Justin Bieber, obviously.

MADI: Um, that’s not—

JESSI (clearing her throat): Sisters, silence. I read online that this was the best time for a séance, so shut up so I can start.

KOURTNEY: Yeah, guys, be quiet. You’re taking up so much time.

[Jessi takes the book and flips to a page. She then takes a candle and uses it to read.]

JESSI: Despacito. Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito. Deja que te diga cosas al oído. Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo.

CHELSEA: Oh, I know German! It’s asking us for a blood sacrifice.

MADI (mumbling): I-I'm not sure that was German.

ABBY: A blood sacrifice?

KOURTNEY (turning to Jessi): You have a goldfish, right? That could be a blood sacrifice!

JESSI: What, no! Mr. Gills is my pet, you can’t kill him!

KOURTNEY: It’s Mr. Gills or Justin Bieber, pick one girl!

JESSI: Um, well, I-I guess—

ABBY: I got it! I got Mr. Gills!

[Abby is over at the fish tank holding a goldfish above her head and smiling. Jessi shrieks.]

JESSI (yelling): No! No! Mr. Gills!

[Abby sits back down in the circle and places Mr. Gills in the center.]

ABBY: Girl, you can continue.

JESSI (whimpering and looking back down at the book): Habla, habla, habla. Haz que este animal cobre vida y nos hable. Consúmenos con tus palabras, animal, y líbranos de cualquier demonio.

[Mr. Gills gasps and comes alive. He’s flopping around and jumping in the circle. The girls scream in horror.]

Mr. Gills: Help! Help me! I-I need water! Water! Oh, God, who did this to me?! I’m drowning! I’m dying! Please—

[Mr. Gills dies. His eyes are wide open. The girls stare at it. Chelsea takes a pencil and stabs Mr. Gills.]

CHELSEA: Blood sacrifice.

[Jessi stares at her now dead fish. She holds back tears as she looks down at the book.]

JESSI (whispering): For Justin Bieber.

MADI (uncertain): Guys, I’m starting to think that this may not be the best idea. I-I'm going to go call my mom to come pick me up.

KOURTNEY (grabbing Madi’s hand): No, you are not leaving! We didn’t even want you here in the first place, but this ritual needed five people!

MADI (sadly): Oh!

CHELSEA: O.M.G. Kourtney! You weren’t supposed to tell her that!

MADI: I don’t even want to finish this anymore.

JESSI: We’re almost done! We just need to do one more thing! Everyone needs to say this line together three times! Meteorito, ven a mí. Meteoro, escucha mi llamada. ¡Meteoro, ven a conocernos a la llamada de este faro!

[The five girls say this together three times, all of them holding hands. They get more intense every time they repeat until they are screaming.]

2.  EXT. Outer Space

Justin The Meteor is happily singing “Baby” by Justin Bieber before a pink sparkly beacon shoots out of Earth. Justin The Meteor looks at the beacon, his eyes literally sparkling.

JUSTIN THE METEOR: It’s calling me. The Beliebers. I’m coming for you!

3.  INT. Dark Room – 2:45 am

MADI: Did it work?

CHELSEA: I’m not sure it did. Maybe this was all just silly. Ghosts aren’t real.

ABBY: Duh, ghosts are real! I’ve literally seen Oprah in my room! She was singing to me.

KOURTNEY: Oh, that did not happen.

ABBY: It did! I was so scared.

JESSI: Everyone, hush! Do you hear that?

[The girls go quiet. Faintly, “Beauty and a Beat” by Justin Bieber is playing. The room begins to light up as Justin The Meteor is heading their way to the room. Suddenly, Mom walks into the room.]

MOM: Girls, what in the hell is going—

[Justin The Meteor crashes into the house. There is a huge explosion and everyone dies.]
