[FADE IN]
EXT. HUNTERSVILLE - DAY
MIA (20s) bounces excitedly, packing a backpack overflowing with camping gear. LIAM (20s), her boyfriend, looks on with a raised eyebrow.
MIA (beaming) Almost there! Just gotta grab the... turnips!
Liam stares at the giant bag of turnips she throws in.
LIAM Turnips? Honey, we're camping, not stocking a root cellar.
MIA (waving him off) Trust me, they'll be delicious roasted over the fire!
Liam sighs, but throws in a sleeping bag.
EXT. FOREST - DAY
The car rattles down a bumpy dirt road. Rain pours down outside. Liam shivers, peering out the window.
LIAM (through gritted teeth) Perfect camping weather, wouldn't you say?
Mia tries to keep a smile on her face.
MIA It builds character!
EXT. CAMPSITE - DUSK
Liam struggles with a soggy tent while Mia unpacks the - still surprisingly dry - turnips. A crackling fire throws flickering shadows in the background.
MIA See? Perfect for roasting!
Liam manages a weak smile. They share a simple but turnip-heavy dinner by the fire. Later, they huddle close for warmth, telling stories.
MIA (whispering) ...and then the ghost ship appeared in the fog!
Suddenly, a loud RUSTLING comes from the bushes. Both scream.
MIA (frantic) Run! Indians!
EXT. FOREST - NIGHT
Liam and Mia stumble blindly through the rain, tripping over roots.
LIAM (panting) There's no such thing as Indians anymore!
EXT. ROAD - NIGHT
MIA (pointing) Look! A car!
A sleek black Uber pulls over. The Lone Ranger, complete with mask, steps out, followed by a surprisingly casual Tom Cruise.
LONE RANGER Hop in, folks! No time for questions! We're headed straight to Huntersville!
Liam and Mia pile into the back, bewildered.
INT. UBER - NIGHT
Tom smiles in the rearview mirror.
TOM CRUISE (grinning) So, where to in Huntersville?
MIA and LIAM (together, relieved) Home!
Tom Cruise floors the accelerator, and the Uber speeds away into the night.
