“The Orb of Magic Mystery” a Screenplay by Mia1 

Scene 1 :Hello! 

VOICE IN BACKGROUND 

There once was a world full of magic. Some used it for good, some for bad. And all of the magic came from one thing: The Orb of Magic. 

(The curtain opens) 

(James is walking across the stage) 

(Ethan apears ) 

ETHAN 

Hey! What’s up James? 

JAMES 

Oh, Hi, Guess what I can do! Watch this! 

(James puts his hands out and makes a random ball float in the air) 

ETHAN 

That’s cool, Telekinesis! Look what I can do! 

(Ethan puts his hands on his head as if reading James mind) 

JAMES 

Blue. Ethan, did you just read my mind? 

ETHAN 

Obviously, 

( James and Ethan walk into a coffee shop) 

ETHAN 

I wonder what that worker is thinking about. 

JAMES 

Why don’t you find out? You’re the one here who has mind reading. 

(Ethan puts his hands on his head as if reading the workers mind) 

ETHAN 

Huh , that’s strange. 

JAMES 

What did you read? 

ETHAN 

Nothing (said quickly)

JAMES 

It’s okay, you can tell me. 

ETHAN 

No, I Didn’t read anything. Like I was losing my power, like I don’t have it. 

JAMES 

That’s weird. 

(James puts his hands out and tries to move a cup) 

That’s really weird. 

(Ethan and James walk out of the stage) 

End of Scene 1 

Scene 2: the disappearance 

(Alex, Mr Arno, Guards 1&2, and Police 1&2 enter and are talking in a group) 

GUARD 1 

Mr. Arno, we are so sorry to inform you but the Orb of Magic has gone missing. 

MR. ARNO 

How? 

GUARD 2 

When we weren’t looking, someone must’ve swiped it. 

MR. ARNO 

Do you know who might’ve done it? 

GUARD 1 

We have reason to suspect Mr. Erious is the one behind the crime. 

MR. ARNO 

You mean Mr. Erious, the one we just let out of jail? 

GUARD 2 

I’m afraid so. 

GUARD 1 

Oh yes, and Alex, you must wonder why you’re here. 

(Alex nods)

We brought you here because you and your group were the ones who originally caught Mr. Erious for his crimes. So, Alex, do you think that you are up to the challenge of collecting the Orb? 

ALEX 

Yes. 

GUARD 2 

Alright then, make sure to tell your group about this to help us. 

MR. ARNO 

Alex, make sure to alert the police immediately as soon as you have the orb. And, you should talk to that scientist Dr. Red. She’s the one who created the Orb of Magic. 

ALEX 

Got it. 

POLICE 1 

We will also be on the hunt for Mr. Erious while Alex fetches the Orb.

ETHAN 

Who stole it?

Mr. Erious. The police let him out and he stole the orb. Mr. Arno told us to go see Dr. Red: the scientist who made the orb of magic.

Okay, let’s go see that “Dr, Red”

DR. RED 

Hello, what brings you three here today? 

ALEX 

We’re here to talk about the Orb of Magic. 

DR. RED 

I suppose you’re the ones who are supposed to find the Orb? 

JAMES 

Yep. 

DR. RED 

If that’s so, come in and have a seat. 

(The enter and have a seat but Ethan wanders around the lab) 

ALEX 

What a nice laboratory you have.

DR. RED 

Thank you. 

ALEX 

So, how did you create the orb of magic? 

DR. RED 

It started with a few crystal rock discoveries on the moon and 

ETHAN 

What’s under this? 

DR. RED 

No, don’t touch that! 

(Ethan lifts a tarp and underneath is a time machine with a very large sign saying time machine) ETHAN 

Awesome! A time machine! 

ALEX 

You have a time machine!? 

DR. RED 

Uhmm yes……… -But it’s a work in progress!! 

ETHAN 

You sure? Because it says here that it’s finished. 

DR. RED 

Fine. you caught me. It’s finished. 

JAMES 

I got an idea! What if we go back in time and stop Mr. Erious! 

ALEX 

You know, that’s not a bad idea… 

ETHAN 

I’ve always wanted to time travel! 

DR. RED 

Okay! Okay! But I’m controlling since I’m the only one who knows how to work this thing. Come in.

(they all get in the time machine)(Dr. Red pressed some buttons)(a flash as they travel back in time)

So, Dr. Red, you will stay here with the time machine and keep it safe. 

(Alex turns to James and Ethan

ETHAN 

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, aren’t we supposed to get the orb? Not Mr. Erious. So why don’t we just grab the orb? 

JAMES 

Yeah that’s a better idea! 

ALEX 

Okay so are we doing that instead? 

ETHAN 

Sure. 

ALEX 

Okay so James, you will distract the guards and Ethan and I will go get the orb. Okay let’s go. End of scene 5

You’re supposed to be in jail! 

MR. ERIOUS 

Ohhhh, today the Police let me out because my sentence was over. You probably think I escaped did you? 

JAMES 

But you’re supposedly going to steal the Orb of Magic! 

MR. ERIOUS 

You know my name is very mysterious, but me? Steal the Orb! No one in their right mind would do that! That jail that I was in was TERRIBLE! It taught me a lesson to not use my power for bad. So no. I’m not going to steal the Orb! I don’t want to go back to that place!

Oh…(Mr. Erious leaves) kay.(James leaves the stage)

ETHAN 

Ladies first. 

ALEX 

Ugh fine. 

(Alex takes her first few steps) 

Okay not too hard 

( Alex weaves her way through the lasers) 

Easy!

Well that’s even easier the lasers are probably magic powered

Okay let’s go before they notice the Orb’s gone
