(Michael Tabor and Toni Wilson)

Lights up! Toni and Michael are standing center stage.

Michael

Toni, are you a superhero?

Toni

Not that I know of. Why?

Michael

HA HA! I think you’re a superhero!

Toni

No, I’m not! Why do you think that?

Michael

Well, you’re mysterious. And also your adamant denial of being a superhero.

Toni

Michael, I am 100% certain I am not a superhero.

Michael

But, what about your super powers?

Toni

I DON’T HAVE ANY SUPER POWERS!

Michael

But, but, but-

Knock on door

Michael

I’ll get it.

Michael answers door.

DEATH

Hello, I am Death. Is there a (reading from paper) Michael Tabor and a Toni Wilson here?

MICHAEL

Um….just a minute….let me go check….

Michael goes to Toni.

TONI

Who’s at the door?

MICHAEL

Hmmm? What? Oh, yeah! Death’s at the door. (realization) OH MY GOD! DEATH’S AT THE DOOR!

Enter Death

DEATH

(pointing at Toni) Oh. It’s you.

TONI

WHAT?!

DEATH

Prepare to die.

Michael and Toni scream and run out the door. Death follows. Pause. Michael and Toni re-enter.

TONI

Ok, ok, maybe we lost him.

MICHAEL

You need to use your superpowers on him!

TONI

I have no super powers!

Enter Death. Toni runs to other door and tries to open it. Death walks over to Michael.

DEATH

Michael Tabor, I don’t like being run from. You can’t escape me, I’m death! You’re just wasting time.

TONI

The door isn’t opening!

MICHAEL

I have some last words.

DEATH

All right.

Michael prepares to give speech and runs away.

MICHAEL

Toni, fight him with your super powers. (slams the door behind him)

DEATH

So. We meet again.

TONI

WHAT?! What are you talking about? Death, stop smoking crack.

DEATH

This time I won’t be defeated so easily.

Death stands on a chair and does the crane from Karate Kid. Toni laughs like a superhero. Death and Toni fight. Toni kills death. Michael pokes his head in timidly. Michael enters and walks over.

MICHAEL

You killed him!

TONI

Yes, yes I did.

KNOCK AT DOOR!

TONI AND MICHAEL

Who is it?

BOOGIE MAN

It’s the boogie man!

Michael and Toni look scared

BLACKOUT!
