                                  EPISODE I "The Haunted Castle"

  INTRO: "When the Delorean time vehicle gets a flat tire, the only place to stop is a creepy old castle-manor (Similar to Wayne Manor in the Batman series) The owner is having a dinner party and invites the Institute of Future Technology family to join him and his guests.  But an unexpected visitor shows up - a GHOST!  It is up to Aleu and her friends both ape and human to get to the bottom of this mystery!"

      BOOM!  The thunder rumbled through the dark stormy night accompanied by occasional lightning flashes.

  GALEN     Yikes!  What was that?

KIMBERLY     Just a little thunder and lightning, Galen.  Nothing to worry about.

SPACE ACE     Nothing to worry about?  Didja hear that, Aleu?  The sky's going to come crashing down on us any minute and there's nothing to worry about.

DOC BROWN     Come on, junior.  We'll make it to the theater just fine.  It's just a harmless little storm, that's all.

      Space Ace is the son of Doc Emmett Brown since that is why Brown refers to him by that nickname.

  GALEN     I hope your right, man, because I'm getting hungry.  How about you, Aleu?

ALEU     You bet!

      The Delorean time vehicle (Used in the trilogy series and in the motion based simulator ride at Universal Studios Hollywood and Florida) carefully made its way along the winding country roads.  It was raining hard like a solid gray wall of water coming down as if the Almighty were watering his flower gardens in heaven.

  URKO     Yegads, Doc, maybe this wasn't such a great shortcut.

KIMBERLY     I agree with the gorilla, it seems really dark.  Can you see the road? DOC BROWN     I can see it just fine.  

    BANG!!!  Without warning the Delorean hit a huge pothole (Term for cracks or gaping holes in the pavement) and skidded sideways off the road.

  GALEN     The sky is falling!

SPACE ACE     Aaaaaaaaugh! We're doomed! ALEU     Hold me master!

      The time vehicle came to a screeching stop as the auto brakes engaged to slow the car safely without trouble.

  DOC BROWN     Whoohooa, great scott!  Is everyone okay?

KIMBERLY     I'm fine, boss.  Zaius, Urko?

ZAIUS     I'm okay, thank god. Good thing for safety restraints to keep you buckled in.

URKO     Yeah, and not end up hitting the windshield or dashboard console by accident.  

    Emmett turned around toward the back of the Delorean...  

DOC BROWN     How about you, son?  

    Unfortunately there was no sign of the Hero Of Earth, the chimpanzee archaeologist, or the shewolf mascot.  

URKO     Ace?  Aleu?

ZAIUS     Galen, where are you?

GALEN     We're fine, thanks for being concerned doctor.

      His voice came from under the back seats.  His head popped into view seconds later followed by Ace and Aleu.

  SPACE ACE     We're just, uh, checking to make sure the floor's okay father.

KIMBERLY     Hmmm, I wonder what happened.

URKO     Judging by the sound, I'll predict it's a stupid flat.

DOC BROWN     I'll check it out, wait here till I return.

      Grabbing a flashlight from the glove compartment the chief inventive officer of the Institute of Future Technology exited the Delorean to inspect the tires.

  ZAIUS     You can come out now, fellas.  I'm sure the floor's okay.

GALEN     You can never be too sure, right Aleu?

ALEU     Right!

DOC BROWN     It's a flat, all right.

URKO     YES! I knew my prediction would be on the mark.

DOC BROWN     Oh, that's logical. We must have hit a pothole or something back there.  Everybody sit tight and we'll be on our way again.  Junior, give me a hand with the spare.

SPACE ACE     Sorry, no can do, dad.

DOC BROWN     And why not?  Don't tell me you're still scared of the perfect storm. SPACE ACE     Me?

UNSEEN VOICE     BOOOOOOOOOM!!!

GALEN     Good grief!  The sky's exploding again!

      Once again the chimp dove over the back seat into the rear compartment of the Delorean to cower in terror until he heard giggling laughter coming from everyone at his funny antics so he poked his head up and asked...  

GALEN     What's so funny?

ALEU     BOOOOOOM!!!  Heheheheheheheeh.

SPACE ACE     Very funny, Aleu.  No time for jokes.

ALEU     Look who's telling who's a joker?!

DOC BROWN     Enough!  Let's get this tire changed.

SPACE ACE     Like I said before, father.  There's no spare.

DOC-KIM-ZAIUS-URKO     NO SPARE?!!  

    All 4 looked at each other in shock then back at Ace with the same frowning expressions on their faces.  

DOC-KIM-ZAIUS-URKO     WHY NOT?!!

GALEN     Hey-hey-hey, Aleu, Ace and I needed room for our emergency survival kit.  It contains everything we need to survive.  Right?

ALEU     Correct you are, chimp.

KIMBERLY     I'm afraid to see this survival kit.

URKO     I have a hunch what's inside, too.

      Galen opened the spare tire compartment.  Inside were Twinkies, Cup Cakes, Fruit Pies, Chips, Sodas, Deli Sandwiches, etc.  

DOC BROWN     Well, we're stuck in a storm with a flat and no spare tire.

SPACE ACE     Sounds like an emergency situation to me.

ALEU     Me too!

      With that the 3 began chowing down on their favorite fun foods.  Suddenly...

  ZAIUS     Hey!  What's that?

      The orang professor of the ApeCity Academy pointed through the windshield.  Lightning flashed across the sky again.  It illuminated the outline of a huge castle like manor house just up the road.  

ZAIUS     It looks like a manor house.

DOC BROWN     More like a mansion, the Haunted Mansion from the Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Euro-Disney attractions.

URKO     Or an ancient medieval castle if you ask me boss.

SPACE ACE     A haunted medieval castle, I agree.

DOC BROWN     There's only one thing to do, let's get help.

URKO     We can use their phone and then make it to the theater in no time.

      Aleu, Ace and Galen did not budge from their seats.

  KIMBERLY     Aren't you coming, Ace?

SPACE ACE     No thanks, Kimmy.  Going into a haunted manor-house on a stormy night spells nothing but trouble.

ZAIUS     You're being ridiculous.  That castle is not haunted.

GALEN     I'm sure we'll be fine here.  We'll hold down the fort till you return.

DOC BROWN     Suit yourself, ape.

      And with that...Emmett, Kimberly, Zaius and Urko exited the Delorean and started up the winding pathway that led to the castle.  The gorilla general led the way, shining his portable flashlight through the rain.  After a moment they were out of sight, swallowed up by the rainfall.  

GALEN     They're crazy!  Outside in the pouring rain, probably catch pnemonia.

SPACE ACE     At least we're inside a dry time machine with our emergency survival kit.  Who's ridiculous, now, eh?

ALEU     Tell that to your father, junior.  He's the one who suggested we go to that castle to get help in the first place.

SPACE ACE     Hey!  Not his fault, I'm the one who forgot to bring the spare tire.

GALEN     Good grief, look who's talking.

      FLASH!  CRASH!  BOOM!  Ace, Galen and Aleu watched a lightning bolt strike a tree next to the Delorean.  The tree crashed to the ground with a WHOMP!  The time vehicle shook from the impact as if in an earthquake.  Ape, Human, SheWolf stared at each other in wide-eyed horror!

  ACE-GALEN-ALEU     WAIT FOR US!  WE CHANGED OUR MIND!  

    All 3 jumped out of the time machine and raced up the winding pathway toward the so-called haunted castle.

                                      END OF PART I
