Rani: Hi I'm Rani. I'm 15 years old and I live in England. I'm not your average schoolgirl though and I never have been. But you'll find out why soon. I've just found two special friends. Vaux and his cousin Peuge said that they came from a planet called Vi-ackle by accident via a teleport machine built by their granddad. I feel like I can trust them, as they seem to know my troubles. By the way, Vaux has a twin brother named Hal, which is interesting as I love twins, and it's great to know that it's not just an Earth thing! Also he told me that there's someone called Mondi who bugs him a lot. Hmmm, something going on there I think (giggles). But they mentioned someone else called Volco and he definitely sounds dangerous considering he was banished. But even so I have a feeling our paths may cross. Plus, I'm fascinated by their glowing hands! I wonder if they have more powers for me to discover. Well, it sounds like there's an adventure waiting for me. Why don't you join me and we'll have fun exploring with the Vi-acklings from Vi-ackle.

Peuge: Rani!

Rani: Coming!

Script for Episode 1

Prologue

Setting: Planet Vi-ackle from space.

Gradual zoom in until land is seen.

Narrative: VI-ACKLE... Situated in a galaxy over a million lightyears away from the Milky Way. The planet may seem like our dear planet Earth but it's smaller and the lands are all made to look like circles and ovals merged together with time.

It is home to a number of new species but the main species are the Vi-acklings who are named after the planet.

Vi-ackle has countries just like Earth, but they are formed in equal sized squares.

Setting: Different places on Planet Vi-ackle.

City buildings and houses on Planet Vi-ackle.

Narrative: The buildings may seem like ours but the corners are rounded and their windows are all mainly round or oval.

The houses and most buildings are once again all grouped together in equal sized blocks with the roads in between.

Public area with Vi-ackling folks.

Narrative: Vi-acklings come in all different shapes and sizes and they all come in hundreds of different colours.

Each Vi-ackling is an individual and have their own abilities but are categorised in groups with those who have similar attributes.

To name a few...

A Maroon Vi-ackling Maiden getting up and going out with clock in the background, few minutes  difference between them.

Narrative: “Swift Doers” literally do everything very quickly without any problems. For example they would get up and get ready for the day in just under 5minutes! But of course, each Swift Doer has their own pace in doing things and they can slow down if they wanted to.

Couple of Green Vi-acklings drinking from fast food like cups and cans.

Narrative: The “Guzzlers” drink almost all day as they use a lot of their energy just to do what they call normal activities. They can appear aggresive or frustrated about losing their energy every so often, but they mean no harm.

A Pink Vi-ackling smiling...

Narrative: And the “Easy Goers” literally tackle anything in a calm manner. They do have emotions, but it is seldom that they ever show them to others.

Ok, so you may think they aren’t any different from us. But here are the cool stuff that Vi-acklings have that we don’t.

Close up of activated ear.

Narrative: They have super hearing which flares up when things important, yet from afar are heard.

Two Vi-acklings with their eyes literally glowing in the dark.

Narrative: And yep, their eyes glow in the dark too! Cool huh?

Another interesting thing...

Close up of a vi-ackling’s right hand with an imprint in the middle of palm.

Scared vi-acking with arm stretched towards camera and imprint on hand glowing.

Narrative: Vi-acklings all have a mark on their right palm.

Each group of Vi-acklings have a different imprint, but they all do the same thing... Every time a Vi-ackling is in danger, the imprint glows and it’s when they stretch out their glowing hand that a "Defence Field" is formed to prevent the villains from harming them.

Green Alien on the floor with glowing arm stretched. A ‘Defence Field’ formed around him.

Brown Alien standing surprised and helpless.

Narrative: However, this hasn’t been happening since a new act came in.

President of a city in Planet Vi-ackle talking to the nation.

President: Whoever does serious damage to anything or anyone on planet Vi-ackle shall be BANISHED!

Narrative: Now, there is a new problem, as the power of the imprints are dying down and something has to be done.

A couple of worried Vi-ackling Maidens looking at their fading imprints on hand.

Narrative: Luckily, one Scientist believes that he has the answer.

And this is where the story begins...

Oh, and they can run as fast as a car can go!

Green Alien running at top speed.

Chapter 1

Setting: On Planet Vi-ackle. Late afternoon. Corner shop called ‘The Corner’.

Narrative: It’s late afternoon, and when you think all is going well...

Sound of tins, boxes and bottles are heard with Tinkle-tankle and Rumble-rumble.

Female Vi-ackling (in shop): AARRGGHH!!

Vaux (in shop): Sorry!

Male Vi-ackling (in shop): HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING!

Vaux (Green alien) gets kicked out of the shop by Shop Assistant for seemingly being mischievous.

Shop Assistant: GET OUT!!Vaux (to Shop Assistant who is off screen): Yeah, well good day to you too!

Peuge (Pink alien) comes walking by.

Peuge: Causing trouble again, cous?

Vaux (starts to walk with his cousin): Ah! That guy needs to get his eyes and ears tested.

Peuge: Does he? Or do you need your head checked?

Vaux: His eyes and ears, definitely!

Peuge laughs.

Vaux: I mean it's not my fault, the stack of tins fell rolling down on the floor and ran every vi-ackling folk over! All I wanted was to buy a drink. I’m so thirsty!

Peuge (laughing): Come on Vaux, it's not like you never did that before.

Vaux: Trust me, Peuge, it wasn't me this time. Mondi pushed me and I lost control!

Peuge: Is she bugging you again?

Vaux (sighs): Yeah, you bet! That vi-ackling maiden is killing me!

Peuge: Well, at least she isn’t Volco.

Vaux: Yeah, I guess so. Good riddance he’s banished after all the problems HE caused!

Mondi (Maroon alien) comes out of the corner shop with her friends.

Mondi (calling from behind) Oh Vaux! Better luck next time, yeah? Shame you don’t have any muscles, cos you could've swung the shop keeper out instead!

Vaux and Peuge stops and turns as Mondie and her friends laugh as they walked way.

Mondi: Bye Vaux!

Vaux blushes with anger.

Vaux (shouting at the girls and waving his arms about): Yeah, well if I had muscles I would've swung you out too!

Peuge (calming his cousin down): Come on, Vaux, let's take you home.

Peuge and Vaux continue walking home.

Vaux: I wish her type could slow down! They do things so fast and without any sign of a glitch!

Peuge: Well, try not to think about it anymore, ok?

Vaux: I wonder if Granddad has finished building that new teleport machine.

Peuge: Maybe he has. He’s been working on it for months and he was almost finished the last time I saw him.

Closed eyes of Volco flash on screen before coming back to Peuge and Vaux walking into the distance.

Vaux: I just can’t wait to get off this planet!

Peuge laughs.

Chapter 2

Setting: Garage in front of house with door open.

Hal: Looking good Granddad! Is it almost finished?

Hal (twin brother of Vaux) leans against wall while drinking from a fast food cup, watches his Granddad do some work on his new invention. A teleport machine that can be used to go from one planet to the next. It is like a two-seater with buttons on the arms and a semi-circle radar at the back.

Granddad (working at the back of the machine): Yes, Hal, just a few more adjustments, and then she’s all ready to use!

Hal: Cool!

Granddad (gets up with a grin): (sighs) Right, looks like this baby is ready to go! Want a demo?

Hal (moving away from the wall, excited): Awesome! Yeah!

Hal finishes his drink and throws the cup away. He steps closer to the machine to take a better look as Granddad starts to demonstrate on how to use the machine.

Granddad (sits down in the machine and pats on the seat next to him): Right, sit down here, my boy.

Hal sits down.

Granddad presses a red button to switch the machine on.

Granddad: Now, pay attention. This is very serious stuff.

Hal watches as Granddad demonstrates. He points to a screen on the arm.

Granddad: This is where you put your destination. It can be anywhere breathable.

Granddad presses a yellow button next to the red button and a keyboard slides out from the arm. Granddad types in ‘Earth’. Presses the yellow button again and keyboard slides back in.

Granddad (Pointing at a green button): Then press this and it will take you to the destination.

Hal (rubbing hands): That is pretty neat!

Granddad: But that’s not all. This is where our imprint comes in handy.

Hal: Like how?

Granddad: You don’t want others to notice the machine, so you just have to somehow signal to your hand and make it only visible to you.

Hal: Wow! So your imprints now have a different function!

Granddad: Only when you get the hang of it.

Hal: Shouldn’t be hard, I’m sure.

Granddad: And I’ll get the Swift Doers to help me out too.

Hal: What for?

Granddad: To make more of course! Every household will have one at least.

Hal: But, you know Swift Doers are very hard to convince. They always want it to be their way!

Granddad: Then we’ll just have to negotiate something, won’t we?

Peuge and Vaux enter. Vaux still sad.

Hal and Granddad gets up from machine.

Hal: Hey, you ok, bro?

Vaux nodded.

Peuge: Mondi’s been playing up again.

Vaux (cries): Yeah! And I’m thirsty and she didn’t let me get a chance to buy a drink! And the guy at The Corner kicked ME out!

Hal: Well you should have said. Mum bought plenty this morning.

Vaux: WHAT?! WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO?!!!

Peuge tries to calm Vaux again.

Peuge: Calm down, Vaux. Hal, why don’t you bring one over here?

Hal: Yeah, ok.

Hal walks away.

Granddad: I think I need one big drink too!

Granddad follows Hal.

Vaux sighs and sits on the seat of machine, away from buttons.

Peuge smiles sympathically sits down by Vaux and accidently presses the green button. The teleport machine disappears with Peuge and Vaux.

Vaux (as they vanish): Peuge, NO!

Another flash of Volco’s eyes flash on screen. This time they are open.

Hal and Granddad re-enter with three cups of hot drinks.

Hal: We're back!

Hal and Granddad's mouths drop to see the machine gone.


Chapter 3

Setting: Planet Earth. Small exterior car park of school.

Teleport Machine appears. Peuge and Vaux lost for words, looks around.

The cars’ alarm start to go off all at once. Peuge and Vaux jump off their seats and runs without thinking about the machine.

Peuge and Vaux stop when the sounds stop.

Peuge (sighs): Ahh finally the horrible sounds have stopped! 

Vaux: Mmmm.

Vaux looks up and notices a human boy drinking from a fast food cup, walking past a big green grit bin. The boy drops the cup in bin.

Vaux: Huh? Is that a... DRINK!!

Vaux runs toward the bin.

Peuge (follows and shouts): Vaux don’t! You don’t know whether its safe!

Vaux: I don’t care! I just want a drink!

Vaux dives in and picks up drink from grit bin. Luckily cup still half full.

Vaux (rubbing grit from his face): YES!! I've finally got it!!

Vaux starts drinking.

Vaux: Ah! I feel better already.

Suddenly, Peuge and Vaux hear school bell ringing, then some human children laughing and chatting. 

Peuge and Vaux watch from a distant.

Out of a crowd of school kids coming out of school, four of them come into focus. Three together (A boy and two girls) laughing at the sad Asian girl, Rani.

Peuge and Vaux listen and watch intensely.

Full view of Laughing Boy, Laughing Girl 1, Laughing Girl 2 and Rani.

Laughing Boy (to Rani): Hey Fantasy Girl! I wonder if ever your “Alien Detector” goes off, it’ll go “BEEP BEEP BANG!!”

Laughing Girl 1+2 (laughs): Yeah!

Rani sighs with head down and walks away. Laughing Boy, Laughing Girl 1+2 keep on laughing as they walk away in opposite direction.

Rani (thinking): I wish one day I could prove them wrong! My detector works! I just need to find an existing alien!

Rani looks up.

Rani: Huh?

Rani is startled to see Peuge and Vaux looking at her.

Rani (shouts at Peuge and Vaux without realising what they are): WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!!!

Peuge and Vaux look shocked.

Rani stops when a constant ‘beeping’ sound is heard. She looks down at her special watch, in which a light starts to flash.

Rani: My alien detector!! It works!!

Rani looks back up.

Rani: That means... THEY’RE REAL!!!

Peuge and Vaux scream in unison.

Rani smiles with open arms): WELCOME TO PLANET EARTH!!! I’m Rani.

Peuge and Vaux calms down.

Peuge: Well, I’m Peuge, and this is (pointing to Vaux) my cousin, Vaux.

Vaux: And we come from the Planet Vi-ackle.

Rani: Cool! So, how did you get here?

Vaux: Well, it’s a long story...

Peuge: Hey, they looked like they were giving you a hard time.

Rani (eyes lowered and sighs): As always. And it's not just them. (Bites lower lip and looks back up) They just don't want to know and I'm literally losing faith in myself too. Any ideas of what I should do now?

Peuge and Vaux look at each other confused and concerned.
