Are you crazy!? Do you seriously think we can find our way around this house?
SAMMY
Hey this is my house!
DAVID
Yeah, maybe Sammy’s right we should find out what woke us up.
DEREK
Ok, fine. But we have to make sure we don’t wake up Jamie and Aryeh.

SAMMY
I don’t see anything strange here.
DAVID
Wait what’s that on the floor?
Sammy, David and Derek go over to investigate what’s on the floor.
DEREK
It looks like a box of carrots.
SAMMY
But its spilled all over the floor.
DAVID
What’s that next to the carrots?
Sammy bends over and picks up a small cold object.
SAMMY
It looks like a cell phone.
DAVID
But it’s awkwardly shaped.
Suddenly the noise comes back again but this time from a different location
SAMMY
Did you here that noise? I sounded like it came form the living room!
DEREK
We should go check on Jamie and Aryeh.
The Three boys run back to the living room to check on their two friends, to see that they had gotten out of there sleeping bags.
DAVID
Where did they go?
SAMMY
I don’t know but there is a note in Aryeh’s sleeping bag,

SAMMY (reading)
We have gone up stairs to look for you guys. If you come back read this note and follow the notes to find us
Sincerely,
Aryeh and Jamie
DAVID
We better hurry up and look for them upstairs.
The three of them head up the stairs toward the darkened second floor to look for their friends.
DEREK
Look I found a note with a flashlight next to it.
DEREK (reading)
Good you found the note! You will need this flashlight to find your way around because it is so dark in here. Keep heading down the hall until you see a bookshelf, inside the book named the history of war. On the 400 page where you will find my next note.
SAMMY
Well what are you waiting for? Lets do find that book!
The three head down the hall in search for the bookshelf with the book The History of war.
DAVID
This has been a long walk maybe we should have a seat.
They sit down. Suddenly fall down a shoot that sends them outside

Untitled Screenplay
By Tania, age 11.
10 flies swarm around trashcan, one fly is apart from them. His name is Xavier.
XAVIER
(grumbling)
All these flies eat is trash! Why don’t they appreciate the finer tastes.
His friend Bill flies up to him.
BILL
C’mon X! There are some good rotten raisins over there!
XAVIER
You need to try some REAL food, man.
BILL
Are you going on about that again?
A baker comes through the back door.
XAVIER
It’s your lucky day!
Xavier zooms through the closing door and Bill pauses and shrugs, then follows X.
INT. ITALIAN BAKERY- MOMENTS LATER
The two flies arrive in an empty bakery. Xavier searches for something.
BILL
What are we doing here?
Xavier doesn’t respond and continues searching until he finds it!
XAVIER
There it is! But there’s this glass…
Xavier is looking at a display of delicious biscotti. He has a mysterious face.
BILL
Not again!
XAVIER
This won’t be like last time…it’s gonna be better!
Suddenly the baker comes back in and is completely oblivious of the flies.
XAVIER (CONT’D)
Come here Bill! Quick!
Costumer walks in.
BAKER
Hello ma’am. What can I get you?
COSTUMER
Two biscotti please.
XAVIER
This is our chance!
BILL
Can we just go?
Xavier ignores him and focuses on his precious biscotti. The baker starts opening the case while Xavier tries to get biscotti and gets stuck in the case.
