Dark Reflections

EXT. Skyler's Garden – Morning

Skyler stands in the vibrant, well-tended garden outside his childhood home. The warm sun casts a golden glow on the flowers, creating a movie-making scene

Emily Inochi Tarinai: (smiling) Look at these roses Skyler they're in full bloom

Skyler Arakawa: (excited) They're beautiful, Mom!

Skyler and Emily kneel down together, tending to the flowers Emily's hands gentle and carefully, guide Skyler's small fingers as he learns to care for the garden

Emily Inochi Tarinai: (whispering) You know, each rose tells a story just like every person. So what story do you think this one has?

Skyler Arakawa: (thinking) I think it's a story of love

Emily Inochi Tarinai: (teary-eyed) You're right Skyler it has the story of our love

As they are sharing a heartwarming moment the flower that Emily is holding opens up with a sharp knife and launches itself towards Emily's neck she dies as Skyler watches covered in blood something pulls Skyler back and the time stops

INT. Kitchen

Skyler and Emily are standing at the kitchen counter engaged in a delightful mess of flour and cookie 

Emily Inochi Tarinai: (laughing) Skyler, remember the secret ingredient is love!

They continue to bake, sharing laughter and stories while flour dusts their hands and cookie cutters create delightful shapes suddenly a mysterious shadow man stabs a knife at Emily's four - head and something pulls Skyler back again

EXT. Skyler's Backyard – Evening

Skyler and Emily sit on a blanket in the backyard under their house the weather is worm it's a beautiful day

Skyler Arakawa: Mom do you think we're alone in the universe

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Skyler you are too young to know the secrets of the universe

Skyler Arakawa: Mom come on please tell me I wanna know

A couple of boys are playing baseball the pitcher throws the ball to the batsman and he hits a long high home run short

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Alright Skyler but first promise me that you won't tell anyone about this

Skyler Arakawa: OK! I promise mom

Emily Inochi Tarinai: OK so there is a celestial being who created the entire universe, because he was alone, he created 3 beings the angels, the godly beings, and the demonic beings and we belong to the go…

The baseball hits Emily in the head and she dies, Skyler is in shock and Skyler gets pulled out again

INT. Living Room – Morning

Ethan and Emily are fighting for some reason Skyler tries to stop them

Skyler Arakawa: Mom Dad stop fighting!

Ethan Arakawa: Go back to your room Skyler you won't understand this!

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Why can't you understand Ethan that's dangerous.

Ethan Arakawa: Dangers, the hell with your opinion

Emily Inochi Tarinai: What do you mean the hell with your opinion?

Ethan Arakawa: You heard me I don't care about your opinion cause all you do is play the safe card

Emily shoots a light beam towards Ethan and he gets angry Ethan does the same thing but he hits her, Skyler's powers activate and he jumps and gives an uppercut to Ethan but before Skyler could even punch Ethan holds Skyler's hand and gives him one punch and the Skyler gets his ass beaten Ethan goes towards Emily beats the crap out of her from left to right as Ethan punches Emily the sound of punching matches the sound of Skyler's alarm ringing…

Shot of alarm ringing…

Day – Tuesday

Skyler Arakawa: Stop it!!!

Skyler gets up in shock because of his dreams, he gets off his bed and goes to the washroom [Sign on door: "don't come in I only allow mature and experienced 40 years old female beauties"], before Skyler goes to the washroom, he takes a sticky note and writes something on it and goes the washroom

Ethan Arakawa: Yo Skyler my boy wakei wakei get up it's time for school

Ethan pulls the blanket it's empty 

Skyler Arakawa: I'm here Dad! (Voice coming from washing)

But before Ethan leaves the room, he sees a sticky note near Skyler's bed so he picks it up, the note says day 34 of getting nightmares of mom dyeing, Ethan suspects that something is going on

Skyler's mom is training Skyler's best friend Ben

Emily Inochi Tarinai: You know Ben you're getting better at this

Benjamin Grim lock: Really?

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Yeah, at this point, you are stronger and smarter than my son Ben, and at the rate you're training you will be 10x times stronger than my son

Benjamin Grim lock: It's all because of your training sensei

Skyler Arakawa: So, Ben it's time for our jogging

Benjamin Grim lock: Oh, wait let me get my jacket tho

Skyler Arakawa: Ben, it's time for our jog!Benjamin Grim lock: Oh, wait, let me grab my jacket.

Emily Inochi Tarinai: I still don't get why you boys go jogging so early.

Benjamin Grim lock: It's good for the body and mind mom

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Hmm, if you say so.

Skyler and Ben leave Skyler's house and begin their jog. After some distance, they reach a small shack they built themselves and head inside.

Benjamin Grim lock: I'm going to make some coffee. Want some?

Skyler Arakawa: Nah, you do that. I'll keep an eye on the joggers.

Benjamin sits down, brewing and sipping his coffee, relaxing and enjoying the morning. Meanwhile, Skyler is by the window, eagerly watching the women jogging outside.

Benjamin Grim lock: Here's your coffee

A young beautiful girl is jogging and she waves at Skyler, Skyler puts his glasses down

Skyler Arakawa: Yeah baby 

After that girl, another girl comes jogging but the cache is the other girl is fat as hell, and round chubby looking girl waves at Skyler so Skyler puts his glasses up

Skyler Arakawa: Hell nah!

Skyler Arakawa: Woh brother 3o clock hot chick jogging

Benjamin Grim lock: Nah I'll pass, I'm not a pervert! Like you

Skyler Arakawa: Damn she looks nice but her ass is small

As Ben is drinking his coffee Skyler is seeing who has big things and who has small things as the time passes on 

INT. Cafeteria School – Morning Breakfast

The school cafeteria buzzes with activity as students chat and enjoy their meal, Skyler and Ben sit at their usual table, unaware of what's gonna happen next 

Skyler Arakawa: (disturbed) Ben these nightmares…they're tearing me apart

Benjamin Grim lock: (supportive) We'll find a way to stop them brother just hang in there

Across the cafeteria a group of students led by the bullying leader

Jason Miller: (mocking) Well well well look who we have here, Lucas the loser!

Lucas Gray: Just leave me alone

Skyler Arakawa: (Exchanging a glance with Ben) This isn't right

Benjamin Grim lock: Well maybe we should just mind our own business considering how many fights go on every day

Jason Miller: Hey ugly, hey

Lucas Gray: No one cares

Jason Miller:(laughs) clearly your mom did last night

Lucas Gray: (bored) Oh wow was that supposed to be funny

Jason Miller: You wanna die Lucas(anger)

Jason gets up and is about to hit Lucas but someone comes and holds his hand

Jason Miller: What the fuck are you doing

Moon Chaeyoung: Didn't anyone teach you how to treat others

Jason pulls his hand from Moon

Jason Miller: Ah check out this chick, bitch thinks she can stop me

Moon Chaeyoung: Did you just call me a bitch?

Jason Miller: Yep, and the conversation is over

Jason is about to hit Moon but at that time Skyler pushes his chair back and starts going towards the confrontation, ben is following close behind

Skyler Arakawa: (Holds Jason's hands) It's not a good thing to hit a woman back off

The bullies turn to face Skyler, momentarily taken aback by his courage

Jason Miller: (smirking) What's this? Skyler wants to play the hero?

Skyler steps closer to Moon shielding her from the bullies

Skyler Arakawa: (determined) Just walk away Jason it's not worth it

Jason Miller: (angry) You're asking for it, Skyler

The fight starts with 5 members in the group Skyler kicks two people and other two by hand and the last one Jason they are about to fight when a teacher comes and stops them

Mr. Anderson: Stop it both of you, Mr. Miller you are in my office right now (looks at his watch)

Jason looks at Skyler in anger and as the teacher is taking Jason and his friends, Skyler is going back to his table but Moon approaches him

Moon Chaeyoung: Hey (taps on Skyler's shoulder) there hi

Skyler Arakawa: (Shocked and happy as well) Oh hi

Moon Chaeyoung: Yeah, hi myself moon Chaeyoung (lays hands out for a Shakehand)

Skyler Arakawa: Well, that's a beautiful name for a queen like you

Moon Chaeyoung: Stop(smiling) I'm no queen

Skyler Arakawa: Very well I'm Skyler, Skyler Arakawa

Both shake each other's hand smiling

Moon Chaeyoung: Well Skyler thanks for helping me, the last time I got into a fight nobody helped me hence I got suspended

Skyler Arakawa: Oh, shit don't tell me you are the girl who got suspended for 2 months

Moon Chaeyoung: Wait you both are in the same class as us

Skyler Arakawa: Oh wow (naughty) (smiling) what a coincidence
