Shade - The Living Shadow

Shade#223 (S11): If we could just live

CUT TO: GREEN VALLEY

EXT. PLACID STATION- AFTERNOON

DRAY AND CONNOR PLAY A GAME OF PING PONG WHILE MIKEY, PETER, AND ELIJAH WATCH FROM THE SIDELINES. AS DRAY HITS THE BALL BACK TO CONNOR, CONNOR DOES A TRICK SHOT THAT TRICKS DRAY AND WINS THE GAME.

[Dray]

Dang, it!

[Connor]

15 - 9, it wasn't that far off.

[Dray]

I guess not but I've seen a lot of your tricks now. I'll win the next one.

[Connor]

I'm looking forward to seeing you try.

[Dray]

Who had ups?

[Peter]

Me. I guess it's up to me to dethrone Connor. Risk is your game buddy.

[Connor]

Every game is my game.

DRAY HANDS THE PADDLE OFF TO PETER AND SITS ON THE SIDELINES. PETER AND CONNOR BEGIN TO PLAY WHILE DRAY AND THE OTHERS WATCH.

[Elijah]

Connor's got so many tricks up his sleeves he might as well be a magician.

[Dray]

I couldn't get a beat on anything he was throwing at me.

[Elijah]

That's because Connor plays a different way every so many points. It changes things up so much he can throw anyone off their game.

[Mikey]

Hey, does anyone want to go out to Spring Gardens?

[Elijah]

What's out there?

[Mikey]

Well, I was going to look around for Savana.

ELIJAH NUDGES MIKEY WITH HIS ELBOW.

[Elijah]

Oh, buying a gift? What did you do? Are you in the doghouse or something?

[Mikey]

What? No, her birthday's coming up. I wanted to get her something.

[Elijah]

Oh, so you're trying to get brownie points.

[Mikey]

Yeah, you wouldn't? You gotta stay in their good graces.

[Elijah]

That's for sure.

[Dray]

Well, I don't have anything going on. I'll tag along for the ride.

[Elijah]

I guess I'll go too.

[Mikey]

Cool, we can head over there after this.

THE TRIO CONTINUE TO WATCH PETER AND CONNOR PLAY PING PONG.

CUT TO: LATER

EXT. SPRING GARDEN - AFTERNOON

MIKEY, DRAY, AND ELIJAH WALK AROUND THE TOWN CENTRE.

[Mikey]

Thanks for coming guys. This would have been way more awkward if I would have just come by myself.
