Mining for Your own Head

When the gang break down in an old mining town they encounter a headless miner searching for his lost head and the last vein of gold

## Script

(We open on nighttime in the Adventure Bay Mining Town, an old mining town a few miles outside of Adventure Bay where we see vultures cawing and we cut to the mine where a headless middle aged looking with a long sleeved green shirt, with brown suspenders in the cross position and frown pants and boots walks out of the mine and we fade to the Mystery Patroller driving through)

Ryder:(OS)Are you sure we took the right turn Danny?

Danny:(OS)Of course Ryder. (Cuts to the front)We took this road and turn to the right.

Ace:No wonder we're lost. You've been reading the map upside down.

(She puts it rightside up for him)

Ace:(OS)Here's where we are, the Adventure Bay Mining Town. The old ghost town.

(Back to the group shot)

Danny:Ghost town?

Rubble:Ghost town?

Katie:What do we do now?

Ranger:I told you to let me or Carlos handle the map Ryder but no.

Ryder:Next time I'll let you handle it bro.

(Cuts to the vultures cawing again and we cut back to the Mystery Patroller where the pups are scared screaming)

Skye:Vultures! They're worser then eagles!

Marshall:I'm kind of scared.

Zuma:Me too dude.

Ryder:Hey what's that over there?

(Cuts to the guest ranch where it reads "ADVENTURE BAY MINING TOWN GUEST RANCH" sign under it reads "Vacancy")

Ace:(OS)Adventure Bay Mining Town Guest Ranch. Vacancy.

Ryder:(OS)Well maybe we can spend the night there.

(Cuts to Rubble)

Rubble:There?

Ryder:(OS)Yes there.

(Rubble nods back and forth)

Rubble:Uh-uh.

(We fade to the gang at the front porch of the guest ranch)

Carlos:Go ahead. Ring the bell Danny.

Danny:Ring-a-ding-ding coming up.

(Rings the bell by moving the string and bell and we cut to inside where a shadow is shown and the door opens)

Rubble:Huh?

(Cuts to a short obese Caucasian male with grey white hair and glasses and a red lamp hard hat on and blue coveralls)

Major Miner:Welcome kids. I'm Major Miner. Owner'a this here guest ranch.

(Back to the gang)

Ranger:Do you happen to have any rooms for the night?

(Back to him)

Major Miner:Do I? Heh. You're my only guests. Come on in and register and I'll getcha some keys to your rooms.

Ryder:Thanks Major Miner.

(They walk into the ranch)

Chase:This class is kind of creepy.

Rubble:Yeah, creeeeeppy.

Rocky:I'll say it's creepy.

Tracker:This is muy bad.

Danny:(OS)Come on guys over here.

Rubble:Coming.

(Cuts to the desk where Major Miner writes the into the guest book)

Major Miner:There. Y'all enjoy your stay.

Ryder:Thanks.

(We fade to the hallway where the girls get one room across the hall from the guys)

Ranger:We'll be right across the hall girls.

Ace:Thanks Ranger.

Princess:As long as Carlos is across the hall too, I'm ok.

Sweetie:I feel tired.

Skye:Me too. (Yawns)Let's get some sleep and maybe we can solve this mystery in the morning.

Ryder:Who said anything about a mystery Skye?

Skye:Well it's just that this place should have some business. Maybe a ghost scared them all off.

Chase:Good night Skye and stop saying about ghosts or you'll scare Rubble and Zuma so badly that they'll get nightmares.

Rubble:I'm already scared.

Zuma:Me too dudes.

Skye:Sorry guys. Good night.

Boys:Night.

(They close their doors and we fade to inside the bedroom of where the boys sleep in)

Arrby:And captain, boss Mr. Sid, sir always tries to sleep on any kind of bed.

Danny:I remember the Ancient Island adventure we had with the Equestria Girls. Having Rubble open the gates to the Underworld was scary. And me hating Bulk Biceps in the gut still hurts my knuckles and fist.

Rubble:Yeah and the Spooky Island mystery where Queen Chrysalis was disguised as Emile Mondavarious where she needed Spike. She was mad at the bad guys for getting me instead.

Ryder:Turn out the lights you guys.

Marshall:Yeah, we wanna go to sleep.
