Mark has driven to Sydney's house. It is late October nearlyHallow-een and he comes dressed in a casual wear. He then walks to the front door, whilst doing this he is playing with his hair and mak-ing sure that he looks good. He is very nervous.Mark then rings the door bell.

MARK (singing)

Ding Dong. Ding Dong. The door bells ringing, time for you to answer the door!

Mark then waits patiently for sydney.

DOMINIC ( Transylvanian accents)

So, we have this fool coming to date my daughter, a stupid weak bleeding fool, why would anyone want to date these pathetic creatures.

INT. CASTLE- UPSTAIRS- SYDNEY’S ROOM. NIGHT

Sydney is in her room putting her make-up on before the door rings. She is also feeling very anxious as it rings.

INT. CASTLE- UPSTAIRS- DOMINIC’S COFFIN ROOM

Dominic also hears the bell and he is very aggressive due to not feeding for a few months. Dominic is wearing a red cape and black clothing.

DOMINIC (Deep, booming, scary voice)

Who is that at my door? I smell blood. This is now my feast for the day.

Dominic races down stairs towards the door in order for him to at-tack his victim.

SYDNEY No! Dad he’s my date. Leave him alone.Why wont you let me live a normal life,I didn’t choose to be a vampire you know?

Sydney begins to cry.

DOMINIC Oh no. A female crying, as a parentI should comfort her but as the king of evil. Ha!

DOMINIC (aggressively)

You are going on a date without my permission. Really? Lets see if he likes you this much to be my feast.

Dominic then grabs Sydney and pushes her aside.

SYDNEY Dad! Don’t you dare. If you do bite him. I will disown you and never talk to you again. I will leave home.

DOMINIC You wouldn’t dare?

SYDNEY Yes I would. Try me? Let me go on this date, he’s the first boy that shows any interest in me.

DOMINIC

So I let her go, as a good father.Aren’t I a good father? Of course I am.

He then lets Sydney answer the door so that she can leave the house and then go get and meet Mark. She is dressed in a typical gothic dress that is red and black.

EXT. CASTLE- FRONT DOOR Sydney opens the door to greet Mark. Whilst Dominic is standing behind the door, listening to the conversation that they are having.

MARK What took you so long? Making yourself looking as beautiful as ever.You eye-liner looks on point so it was worth the wait.

INT. INTERVIEW ROOM. DAY

DOMINIC Hahaa!! He tries to be nice to the fe-male, what a creep.

SYDNEY Yes. I was doing my make up and thank you but Im not beautiful.

MARK Well I wouldn’t date you if you weren't beautiful. Those legs look sexy anyway.

DOMINIC (Aggressively)

WHAT?

Dominic is very aggressive at the comment that Mark has made.Dominic slams the door in Marks face.

DOMINIC You are not going on that date with that. that... Pervert

SYDNEY Yes I am. He was only joking, he didn’t mean it in a sexual way. Bye dad Ill be back at Midnight.

Sydney leaves the castle, her and Mark walk to his car whilst Dominic stares at them through the window.

INT. MARKS CAR- NIGHT.

Mark is driving a Nissan Juke. He and her get in the car and embrace and kiss whilst in there at which Dominic is still watching.

MARK Tell me about your family. You’re father seems very controlling and protective.

SYDNEY He is I hate him. He prefers my brother over me, sometimes I feel like he doesn’t even love me, I don’t think he’s protective, I think he’s just too con-trolling.

MARK What about you’re mom?

INT. INTERVIEW ROOM. DAY

DOMINIC Can I say this on camera? Imma say it anyway. She’s a bitch!

SYDNEY I don’t have a mom, she was murdered shortly after my brothers birth. I only live with my fa-ther and brother and their both annoying.

MARK Ive not got my father, he ran off shortly after I was born, it’s just me and my mom now. Anyway should we get off now,we’ll miss the film otherwise?

They then start to drive off and start get going on the route for the cinema to watch the film. The drive to the cinemas is a 20 min-ute drive and in the car neither characters do much talking.

MARK Do you want to connect your phone up to my car and put your music on.

SYDNEY Yes please! What do I DO?

MARK Put you’re bluetooth on and connect to Nis-san Connect. Then press aux twice. Then play you’re music.

Sydney then does this. She then puts her mu-sic on. She then puts on some heavy rock mu-sic which she then sings along too,but Mark has never heard it before. They then listen to this until they get to the cinema.

EXT. CINEMA NIGHT.

They walk to the cinema just as they have parked up.

INT. CINEMA NIGHT.

Mark then grabs Sydney’s hand and holds it until they go to the pay desk. They still continually not to talk to each other at all. They continue to hold hands but look very awkward whilst doing so.

MARK Two tickets for Dracula’s Wife.

CASHIER Yep thats fine. Anything else?

MARK Could I also have two large cokes and pop-corns?

The cashier hands over the two tickets to Sydney and the coke and popcorn to Mark and then go to the cinema screening and the seats.

INT. CINEMA SCREENING NIGHT.

The cinema contains 3 couples. The adverts are already playin whilst they are in the film.

SYDNEY Thank you for paying for me. You really shouldn’t have but thanks.

MARK I know how to spoil my girl. Im happy to give it you baby.

INT. INTERVIEW ROOM. DAY

DOMINIC

How are you still watching this film.Its worse than Twilight.

They begin to kiss at the cinema while the advertisements are playing. The cinema only contains 2 other couples, they are also mak-ing out, there is a wide-shot showing all people in the cinema and what they are doing.

CUT TO

The film is now half way through and we get to a scene whereFemale Dracula falls in love with a human, which is being played in the background.

MARK Wouldn’t you think dating a vampire would be sexy? You’re pretty much vampire just without the blood sucking, but to be honest Id prefer you if you did suck blood, Id get the full experience.

Sydney does not respond but looks blankly at the cinema screen and thinks about telling Mark the truth. Sydney continues to watch the screen and the film continues, we have a close up ofSydney’s face.

SYDNEY I am a vampire, Mark!

MARK ‘Course you are?

SYDNEY Don’t you believe me?

Mark does not respond to Sydney's question. Sydney now stares at Mark and then she shows him her teeth, Mark’s reaction is full of fear. He tries to run out of the cinema.

SYDNEY I thought you’d like a vampire girl-friend?

MARK I was only joking, you psycho!

INT. INTERVIEW ROOM. DAY

DOMINIC

Didn’t I tell you that boy was bad news. Im Gonna bite him again when he comes back here. But Anyway whos number 1 Dad? ...

Not me.. What??? Come here bleeder!

Sydney grabs Mark and pulls his neck towards her and she then bites him and drinks his blood. This will eventually knock him out and she sits him back in his chair and continues to watch the film.
