I did one a while back showing mine and stubborns wedding when rayne and dude killed her. But if you want, here it goes.
Opening credits role. A subtitle "Scarecrow and __V__" appears. Fade to a small house. It's winter and the lights are on. There is snow outside. The camera goes inside a house. A teenage boy is sitting down, watching tele.
__V__: Mum. When's dad getting back?
LilMissScareAll: Soon...soon.
__V__: I want him too see this bit.
LMSA: I don't think he'll be back for this...
__V__'s Gran: Just tell him dear.
LMSA: Be quiet.
__V__: Tell me what?
LMSA: Nothing.
__V__: Tell me what?!
LMSA: Your dad...he wont be coming home...not for a long time.
__V__: He's left us?!
LMSA: Try not to be too upset. It's for the best.
__V__: For the best? FOR THE BEST?! We were struggling with money as it is!
Grandad: It's okay. I'll get a job.
__V__: That's not fair. You're too old for a job. You deserve a rest.
__V__ storms up to his room. Fade to him laying in bed. He's writing an note.
Dear mum, Gran, Grandad.
I love you all. But now that dad's left, I'm a burden. I'm old enough to work. I'm leaving. I'll get a job and find a flat somewhere. Don't wait up for me. I wont come back. You'd only stop me leaving if I did. It's not fair on you all me being here.
__V__
Fade to him putting the note on his pillow and climbing out the window, a small bag on his back. He walks away and looks up at the house, then carries on walking. The screen goes blank, then a scream is heard. LMSA is standing above __V__'s bed, the note in her hand. She starts crying. Flight of Icarus starts playing and there's a short montage of __V__ looking for work, getting a flat, his mum crying and talking to the police, him coming to the house and looking through the window. When it stops, LMSA is standing in a small office.
Adoption Worker: Are you sure you're ready to adopt Miss ScareAll. I read the newspaper when __V__ when missing, and it's only been 6 months.
LMSA: I just need someone to fill the void.
Adoption Worker: We have a young girl. She's 7 years old and-
LMSA: I'd like someone like __V__.
Adoption Worker: Ah. Then maybe you need to meet scarecrow. Scarecrow! Come in here! Somebody wants to meet you!
Fade to __V__, picking up litter in the street. He sees a newspaper. There's a picture of his mum on there and the headline.
Distraught Family make attempt to get back to normal
__V__: What?
Fade to him going towards the house. The door opens and his mum and a boy, who looks similar but slightly younger then him, walk out, laughing.
Scarecrow: Hi! We're just about to have a snowball fight! Wanna join in?
__V__ looks at his mum. Her jaw drops. She runs towards him and hugs him.
LMSA: __V__!!!
Scarecrow: You...you're __V__?
Fade to the inside ofthe house. Everyone is sitting down, around __V__
__V__: So, I really wanted to come back, but they wouldn't let me. I had to sneak out.
Scarecrow: Why did you join a cult?
__V__: Free room. Free food.
Scarecrow: Well...I don't want you to think I'm trying to replace you.
__V__: Not at all. And I'll go if you want me to.
Scarecrow: Why would I want you to go? I finally have a big brother.
LMSA gets up and hugs them both. Gran starts crying. Fade to nightime, __V__'s walking home with a red haired girl.
__V__: So...I was thinking. Since it's our third date...do you want to meet my family?
Spal: Sure.
They both walk in. Scarecrow gets up.
Scarecrow: So, where is she. I feel the need to show baby pictures of -
He stands still, mouth open, looking at Spal.
Spal: Scarecrow? Oh my...I have to go.
She runs out the door.
__V__: What was all of that about?
Scarecrow: I've told you about her. She abandonned me!
__V__: That's your sister?!
Scarecrow runs upstairs. Cut to a shot of __V__ and LMSA eating breakfast.
__V__: He just wont listen to me. I expected it for a while, but 2 weeks.
LMSA: Well...he's been through a lot. Can you blame him?
__V__: I guess not.
Cut to scarecrow at school. He's walking along when a kid about two years younger than him accidentally nudges him.
Scarecrow: WHAT THE FUCK?!
Kid: I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
Scarecrow: Can you see this?!
He punches the kid, who falls backwards into a locker. He lays there, looking up at scarecrow. Some tall, muscular guys come over to scarecrow.
Guy: Wow. I guess you arent as wimpy as we thought. Wanna meet us after school?
Scarecrow: Okay.
Guy: Bus stop near Eastwood street.
Scarecrow: See you there.
Fade to scarecrow sitting at a bus stop. The screen fastforwards to night time, nobody turns up. He gets up and walks down the street to a shop. He looks around, the puts a bottle of coke in his jacket, and walks out. Fade to scarecrow, walking down the street, drinking the coke. He sees the guys.
Scarecrow: Hi...
Guy: Ha! You fell for it. Sorry man, we were just messing with ya. See him. Go and beat him up.
He points to a guy walking along, reading a newspaper.
Guy: Then you can hang out with us.
He looks around, then goes up to the guy. He picks up a stick and whacks him round the head with it. He then starts laying into the guy, when __V__ walks around the corner.
__V__: Scarecrow? SCARECROW!!!
He runs up to him and pushes him off the guy, who runs away.
__V__: What the fuck happened to you?! You were fine a few weeks ago!
Scarecrow: FUCK YOU!!!
He runs off. Fade to the inside of the house. __V__ is talking to LMSA.
LMSA: Why would he do that?
__V__: I don't know. Why wont you believe me?
LMSA: He wouldn't.
__V__ walks out of the house and starts hitting a wall. A short montage of Scarecrow and his friends commiting crimes is shown. Cut to a shot of Scarecrow and the guys outside a house, all dressed in white.
Guy: Go on. You came up with the idea. Do it. Show that black son of a bitch what we think of him.
Scarecrow drinks from a bottle, then soaks a cloth in the drink, sticks it in the bottle then light it. He throws it through an open window. Instantly, a fire breaks out. Some screams are heard. Cut to __V__ walking along a path. He hears the noises and starts running to see what's happened. Scarecrow runs past him. __V__ stops him and looks at him, shocked. Scarecrow spits in __V__'s face and runs off, laughing. __V__ runs to a phone box and dials.
__V__: Fire!
The camera fades to a shot of __V__'s house. There are police cars outside.
Vod: So. Your son has disseapeared. Your other son saw him at the scene. I think that's enough.
LMSA: NO! NO! PLEASE! HE WOULDN'T DO THAT! PLEASE!!!
The police walk out. So does __V__. He sits down and starts to cry. The screen goes black, and the number 1994 appears on the screen. An adult __V__ is talking to his mum.
LMSA: He's being transferred. To a place called readers row. Dr. Zero will be helping him.
__V__: Zero? Zero. Where do I know that name?
The screen cuts to the clip of __V__ picking up litter. The screen rewinds, then plays again, from further back. __V__ looks up at a street sign. It says Readers Row. A little boy comes up to __V__.
Boy: Hi. My names Zero.
__V__: Zero? That's an unusual name.
Zero: We checked. I'm the only one in the state.
__V__: Hi then Zero. I'm __V__.
Zero: Wanna play ball?
__V__: I wish I could. But I have work to do.
Zero: I don't really like playing anyway. I wanna be a psychologist when I'm older. I can help people.
The screen fades back to __V__ and LMSA.
LMSA: I know you don't like him. But I love him. Can you do something for me?
__V__: What?
LMSA: Move to Readers Row. Keep an eye on Scarecrow.
__V__ looks away, then back. He nods, slowly.
__V__: Only for you. Not him.
The screen goes blank. The number 2007 comes up. The screen fades to some woods. There's a small bird watching treehouse where somedoy is sitting. The screen shows that they're holding a picture of __V__ and scarecrow smiling. The hands holding it shake, then tear the picture. Closing credits role.
