Matt:
We’ve met once, may be twice, possibly thrice.

(Brittany looks around, A pin board with news articles, one head line reads "A Lover Died" Another one reads "Love Brawl turns Nasty")
You remember? When I dropped Mara off, he followed me home, then he stood outside my bedroom window. After beating me to a pulp, there he was Standing over me. I begged him not to do.
But he did. (points to the hole in his forehead, then opens his arms wide) Look at me.

Brittany:
Why did he do what he did? She never loved him, She only loved you.

But she shares it all with the stars at night,
There's just no room for me

(Half-Crossfade, Brock's on the left side, Chad on the right, room in the middle for third person)

Both:
I've got a secret, that tears up my soul,

(Full Xfade, )

Faline:
Each ends a new begining, Every darkness as it dawns,

Professor Ivy:

24, EXT NIGHT, Outside the Band's Tour RV. BROCK, BRITTANY

Brock:
(His head now buried in his arms, he tries to get a grip of himself. The gentle night breeze seems to pick up to a wind. Petals from a Cherry Blossom Tree begin to gently shower, some land on Brock's head some on his hand. He lifts up his head and looks around. some of the petals seem to sprial on the spot as if caught in a tiny vortex, right beside him. He hears singing, that sounded like the Chorus from "We Believe" by Good Charlotte.

At first he thought he was going demented. He stood up walks towards the swruling petals. As he stands, a womanly figure dressed in Black appears. He rubs his eyes in disbelief.)

Who is it? Tell me.

(The figure becomes clearer. Her face appers he reconises her.)

Brittany?

(He tries to run towards her with open arms, but he bounces flat back onto his back from the invisible wall where the petals have now settled. He gets back up, and walks to the petaled line, she does the same. Their hands meet, but no warmth can be felt by either side. As if they were sperated by a glass wall.)
Why are you this way?

(His eyes widen with shock.)

No...You're not! You can't!

(He runs inside the RV, distrought.)

Brittany:
(Within the Circle of Petals, She tries to catch up with him, but hits the boundery.)
Brock! I'm not ... (RV door slams shut.) dead.

(Something grabbed her by the arm and pulls her in.)

25 INT NIGHT, Gothic Place MATT, BRITTANY

Brittany:
(Lands on her butt. She shouts furiously at Matt.)
GREAT WORK! NOW MY OWN HUSBAND THINKS I'M DEAD! (She slaps Matt across the Face.)
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE NOW!

Matt:
You really love this guy?

Brittany:
Well, of course I love Brock, Why else would we be a married couple for the past 15 years.
(She shows Matt her left hand, which has her wedding & engadgement rings on.)
You must understand when I say this, But I gotta get outta here and be with My family!

26: INT MORNING, HOSPITAL. BROCK, BRITTANY, MISTY & ASH KETCHUM
Brittany's Body lays on the hospital bed, Brock comes in with flowers again. Like he has been daily. Puts the flowers in the vase, Pulls up a chair by her side. He holds her hand, She still has a pulse. He gave a sigh of relief.

(enter Misty & Ash)

Ash:
(Puts his hand on Brock's back)
You alright buddy?

Brock:
Not really, look at me, I'm a wreak. Something werid happend last night. Made me worry. I saw her, like a ghost. But we was seperated by this invisible wall that seemed to circle her. I could see her shouting, but I cannot hear her. But When I slept, I heard her. Calling & Crying out my name. I remember shouting hers.

(He looks at his wife as she lay in a silent sleep. He looks towards Ash.
The only thing keeping me saine is knowing that I'm not giving up on her, Ash.)
