banner by dreamalittledreamofsam

A/N: Finally, my chance to screw with the Winchester brothers! ...God, that sounds wrong...very, very wrong...anyway, here's the shortest teaser I've ever written...I have to go wash my mouth out...

TEASER
No flashback from previous weeks or episodes. Just...

Fade Up - EXT. A House - Night
A house, Victorian-style manor, on a hill. A subtitle at the bottom of the screen reads "April 2, 1984 11:54 PM".

Cut to - INT. The House - Night
Inside the house is a dark and frightening place. The very appearance is enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone there.

The camera pans down a long hallway, eventually reaching a pair of double doors. We hear the faint sounds of someone arguing, which eventually fades into something we can hear much better.

MAN #1 (OS):
Just stay out of it, Gregory!

MAN #2 (OS):
I can't allow you to do this! (sounds of scuttling are heard, then...) No!

MAN #1 (OS):
I'm sorry, Greg...but I can't let you hinder my progress...

MAN #2: (OS):
No...please!

A gunshot goes off and we hear a thud.

The camera pans down, blood trickles through the opening...

FADE TO BLACK.

Nailbitting suspense. Can't wait for more

ACT ONE
Fade Up - EXT. The Town - Day
We can see a town, and the house from the TEASER can be seen on a hill nearby. The camera pans down to show the Impala pulling into town. People on the sidewalk can be seen wearing clothes from the 1980s, clearly dated, but this is not heavily focused on.

Cut to - INT. A Dinner - Day
DEAN and SAM enter, and are promptly laughed at by two teenager girls wearing sweaters and gym shorts. Once they leave, SAM and DEAN exchange looks.

Both:
Huh...

They get a table. A WAITRESS walks up.

WAITRESS:
What can I get you boys?

DEAN:
Uh...cup of joe...

WAITRESS:
Okay...and what about you, big boy?

SAM:
(a beat, then...) Oh, me? Uh...same as him...

WAITRESS:
(looking strangely between them) Um...sure...

SAM:
No, it's not...(the WAITRESS walks off, SAM looks to DEAN) Why didn't you say something?

DEAN:
It's much funny to watch you uncomfortable...

SAM:
(sighs) So, anyway, we've got a case...

DEAN:
Here? In Hill Valley?

SAM:
Yeah, it's a little weird...but still...

DEAN:
Yeah, whatever...what's the job?

SAM:
Bobby called it...apparently, some big magic craziness went by here...

DEAN:
Magic? We're hunters, not Hogwarts students. (SAM looks surprised) I stayed awake for some of the movie...

SAM:
(a beat) Yeah, well...we just need to check it out. Just in case...

DEAN:
Yeah, sure. Okay...

SAM:
Alright...so, let's check where Bobby's psychic friend picked up the glitch...

Cut to - EXT. The House - Day
SAM and DEAN have donned FBI suits and are at the house from the teaser.

SAM knocks.

MAN #1 (previously heard in the teaser):
Can I help you gentlemen?

SAM:
Hello, sir. I'm Agent Anthony, this is Agent Roth. We're here to-

MAN #1:
Wait a second..."Roth"? As in "David Lee Roth"?

SAM and DEAN share disturbed looks.

MAN #1:
You guys aren't from Van Halen...who the hell are you?

DEAN:
Thank you for your time, sir...we'll be leaving...

They depart quickly. MAN # 1 closes the door.

SAM:
What the hell was that?

DEAN:
I don't know...nobody sees through the Roth, man!

SAM:
Any idea how he might have?

DEAN:
(something catches his eye) I don't know...

He walks over and digs through a trash can.

SAM:
Dude? What the hell?

DEAN:
(pulling out a newspaper, a beat) Take a look at this.

SAM:
(takes the paper) April 3rd...(he goes wide-eyed as he reads) 1984?!

DEAN:
We must've fallen through a DeLorean, man.

SAM:
There's no way...

DEAN:
Yeah, my thoughts exactly...

SAM:
How did we go twenty-five years into the past?

FADE TO BLACK.

i am getting excited about next part!

ACT TWO
Fade Up - EXT. A Motel - Day
The Impala pulls into a motel, which does not at all look like the rat-trap motels the boys are usually at.

Cut to - INT. The Motel, Main Room - Day
A credit card reading "Lars Ulrich" drops onto the ledger. The camera pans up to show DEAN and SAM.

DEAN:
We'd like a room...

CLERK: (snorts)
Yeah, I bet you would...

DEAN:
Look, are you gonna charge it or not?

The CLERK points offscreen. The camera pans over to show a piece of paper pinned to the wall that reads "CASH ONLY".

DEAN:
Okay...

He cuffs SAM in the arm.

SAM:
Ow!

DEAN:
Gimme a fifty.

SAM:
(digs around in his pocket, hands it to DEAN) Here...

DEAN:
(hands it to the CLERK) Can we get a room?

CLERK:
(takes the fifty) Yeah...it's yours for a week...Room 138...

He tosses him the key.

DEAN:
(catches it) Thank you...

CLERK:
Sure thing...

Cut to - INT. The Motel Room - Evening
DEAN is sitting on the bed, trying to make a call. SAM walks in with Chinese takeout.

SAM:
No cell phones service?

DEAN:
Nah...but I ain't gonna try calling Bobby with a freakin' shoebox... (He tosses the phone onto the bedside table) Anyway...Chinese?

SAM:
Yeah. I was surprised I could find one...

He tosses DEAN a box.

DEAN:
(catches it, grabs a pair of chopsticks) Ah...steak and shrimp...hell, yes! (He digs in, then, with a mouthful) So you have anything new on the guy on the hill?

SAM:
(opening a box) Yeah...apparently, he's the mayor...

DEAN:
He's the mayor? We were pulling a nine to five, how come he wasn't at city hall?

SAM:
Well, apparently, he runs everything from his home so he can take care of his brother...

DEAN:
So it's like a Norman Bates kind of thing?

SAM:
Uh, no. His brother's alive...I mean, no one in town has ever seen him, but he is alive...

DEAN:
Oh, that's not remotely disturbing...

SAM:
I think it's worth checking out, don't you?

DEAN:
Maybe tomorrow...I'm bushed...(a beat) Man, that sounded wrong...

SAM:
Yeah.

DEAN:
(setting the box down) I'm gonna catch some Zs, man.

SAM:
(pulls out his laptop) Yeah, alright, man...

DEAN:
(blinks) Does the internet even exist yet?

SAM:
(with a shrug) I'm about to find out...

DEAN:
(blinks) Huh...well, alright...

He flops down on the bed.

SAM:
This is weird...

DEAN:
(looking over) What?

SAM:
I don't have an internet connection, but the last e-mail from Bobby came about ten minutes ago...

DEAN:
You had an internet connection in the last ten minutes?

SAM:
I don't know...I haven't had it on, Dean.

DEAN:
(sighs) Let's drive around, see if you can pick up Wi-Fi or something...

SAM:
(nods, picking up the laptop) Yeah, let's go...

FADE TO BLACK.

Awesome job on DS so far Jordan!

Gratzi.

Gratzi.

What is it with you and the Italian, man?

Gratzi.

What is it with you and the Italian, man?

That one word's is just my thing, man.

Awesome!

ACT THREE
Fade Up - INT. The Impala - Night
The two are driving around, SAM has his laptop out.

DEAN:
Getting anything?

SAM:
(huffs) For the fifth time, Dean, not yet...

DEAN:
Well, we've been driving around for half an hour, man...explain how you got that e-mail from Bobby.

SAM:
No idea...

DEAN looks offscreen.

DEAN:
What do you think is going on there?

The camera pans over to...

EXT. The House - Night
We see the house from the TEASER and from one of the previous acts. A single light is on.

Cut to - EXT. The Impala - Night

SAM:
Let's check it out...

Cut to - INT. The House - Night
The front door is being picked by DEAN and it soon gives way. He and SAM both hold handguns. DEAN signals for SAM to follow him.

Cut to - INT. The House, Library - Night
We hear the conversation from the TEASER.

MAN #1 (OS):
Just stay out of it, Gregory!

SAM and DEAN come up to the door.

GREGORY (OS):
I can't allow you to do this! (sounds of scuttling are heard, then...) No!

SAM and DEAN get on opposite sides of the door, they prepare to kick the door down.

MAN #1 (OS):
I'm sorry, Greg...but I can't let you hinder my progress...

GREGORY: (OS):
No...please!

A gunshot goes off. SAM and DEAN kick the door in.

Cut to - INT. The Library - Night
We see two men. One is GREGORY, and he is dead on the floor. The other man, ALAN (the man SAM and DEAN ran into earlier), is holding a revolver, pointed at him. On the floor appears to a pentagram made of fresh blood.

DEAN:
Get on the ground!

ALAN:
(laughs) You're a fool...your weapons mean nothing to me...

DEAN fires a shot, hitting ALAN in the shoulder. He simply laughs. Then, in an astounding amount of special effects, ALAN bursts into dust and vanishes.

SAM:
What the-?

Suddenly, the room seems to be falling apart around them. Both of the brothers duck and cover their heads.

Suddenly, the room returns to normal. The body of ALAN is gone, as is the pentagram. It looks as though nothing had happened there.

DEAN:
What the hell?

Cut to -
ALAN, walking through the doors in his bathrobe and looking very angry.

ALAN:
What are you doing in my house?

DEAN:
(pointing the gun at him) Like you don't know.

ALAN:
(wide-eyed) Hey! Take it easy!

SAM:
Dean, I don't think-

DEAN:
What?

SAM:
I think he actually doesn't know...

DEAN:
(confused) What?

SAM:
Let's go!

ALAN:
(hands up) Please don't shoot.

DEAN:
C'mon!

In a very awkward scene, the two brothers keep their guns on ALAN as they head out.

Fade to Black.

ACT FOUR
Fade Up - INT. The Motel Room - Early Morning
SAM and DEAN enter.

DEAN:
Okay, so, what the hell is going on?

SAM:
I'm still working that out...(he pulls out his laptop) I recognized the symbols that were on the floor...

DEAN:
Yeah, what's with the Houdini they pulled?

SAM:
I don't...(he stops, finding something) Oh, hello...

Cut to -
DEAN, who is picking up a box of takeout and is munching on it.

Cut to -
SAM. He looks mildly irked.

SAM:
(stressed) Oh, hello...

Cut to -
DEAN, who is munching on food.

Cut to -
SAM, who rolls his eyes.

SAM:
Jinkies...

DEAN:
Found a clue, Velma?

SAM:
Uh...I'm not Velma...

DEAN:
Yeah...whatever, Brainiac...what's the deal?

SAM:
It's a lich...

DEAN:
(blinks, a beat) A what now?

SAM:
A lich. It's a person whose traded their soul for immortality.

DEAN:
Why the hell would you want to do that?

SAM:
(shrugs) But usually, it involves a blood sacrifice...a pretty damn big one...

DEAN:
Okay...so why is it that the whole town seems to keep repeating the same day?

SAM:
Some of the symbols were wrong...when the mayor shot that other guy - his brother, I guess - the blood activated the symbols. We have to stop him before he draws them again.

DEAN:
Right, then stop the shooting...right...

SAM:
Yeah...(a beat) Huh...

DEAN:
What?

SAM:
This town's been repeating the same day for twenty-five years...what's going to happen when it stops?

DEAN:
(a beat) I'm betting something like Planet of the Apes.

SAM:
The remake?

DEAN:
I mean "Planet of the Apes", I don't know what the hell you're talking about...

SAM rolls his eyes.

Cut to - INT. The Mayor's House - Day
ALAN is drawing the symbols. GREGORY enters.

GREGORY:
Alan, why are you doing this?

ALAN:
If it's the only way to help, then I have to...

GREGORY:
Listen, Alan, we can't simply kill people just because...

ALAN:
(interrupting) I'm doing this for us...for what our parents would have wanted...

GREGORY:
Not like this...you know that...

ALAN:
(pulls out a gun, points it at him) Enough, brother! (He gets up and presses GREGORY against a wall at gunpoint) I have worked too hard...to have you stop me now...you will do as I say!

The door busts open and SAM and DEAN enter, pointing guns.

DEAN:
Put the gun down!

ALAN:
I'll shoot him!

SAM:
Just put it down!

Cut to -
GREGORY, pulling out a switchblade and stabbing ALAN.

ALAN looks to GREGORY, blinking, and then falls back, dead.

DEAN:
(starts lowering his gun) Uh...

GREGORY:
I did it...I get to live...I...AH!!!

He grabs his head, as if getting a headache.

GREGORY:
Please! No!

Cut to -
GREGORY, stopping. When he looks up, his eyes are blood red, much like the Crossroad Demon's.

GREGORY:
I...live...again!

Cut to -
DEAN, raising his gun and blasting GREGORY, knocking him to the ground.

DEAN:
Boomstick.

SAM:
Dean, that's not going to kill it...

DEAN:
Then what will?

SAM:
You have to destroy the phylactery...the thing the lich keeps its soul in...

DEAN:
And what is that?

SAM:
Usually a gem...

DEAN:
(points) Like that!

GREGORY:
(getting up) No!

DEAN blasts him again, knocking him down.

DEAN:
(points again) Like that, then?

Cut to -
An onyx gem, on a velvet pillow, in a glass case.

Cut to -
SAM, from the front.

SAM:
Yeah...like that...

Cut to -
DEAN, from the front, he looks toward (but not directly at) the camera.

DEAN:
(a beat) Huh...

He lifts the mighty sawed-off and blasts the case, shattering it.

GREGORY: (OS)
No! Don't!

Cut to -
DEAN, firing again.

Cut to -
The onyx gem. We get a slow-mo shot of the bullet hitting it, going through it and sending pieces of it flying everywhere.

Cut to -
GREGORY, looks at the place in horror.

GREGORY:
NO!!!!

He falls over, dead.

The camera pans back from his fallen form, and that of his brother's, as SAM and DEAN watch.

Fade to Black.

Cool! Can't wait for more!

cool! can't wait to read more!

ACT FIVE
Fade Up - EXT. The House - Day
It is morning, now. SAM and DEAN exit the house, which is now reduced to a quivering heap of nothing.

DEAN:
So that's it, then?

SAM:
Yeah...the spell never took place, so it technically never happened.

DEAN:
So the entire town...

SAM:
Gone. Must've been totally freaked out what happened, and everyone moved away.

DEAN:
Oh...so let's get on the road...

SAM:
What?

DEAN:
Do you want to hang around the Bates motel? I don't...(He looks down a ways) Yeah, I can see the Impala...let's go...

He heads off.

SAM:
Yeah...okay...

Cut to - EXT. The Impala - Day
DEAN is hopping into the driver's seat.

DEAN:
Let's go, Sammy...

SAM walks up, opening the door.

SAM:
Yeah, just thinking.

DEAN:
'Bout what, Sammy?

SAM:
Gregory was willing to kill his brother to get what he wanted...

DEAN:
Oh, geez, man! Enough domestic drama, it's over...

Cut to -
A close up of SAM. He is thinking intently.

SAM:
(a beat) Yeah, you're probably right...

He gets in.

Cut to -
The rear of the Impala as they drive off.

Fade to Black.
