INT. FUNERAL PARLOR. EARLY MORNING

People are socializing and walking up to two twin girls
wishing them condolences. The twin girls CIARA and CIANI are
wearing all black lace dressed that come down to their
knees. Ciaras hair is slicked up into a high messy bun
while Cianis hair is out and curly. They have all just come
from their fathers funeral when a small man named EMMIT
,standing 4 feet tall, walk up to the girls.
EMMIT
(Honored)
Hi, Im Emmit, its so nice to
finally meet the both of you. Ive
heard so much about you two.
CIANI
(Confused)
oh, hello. Nice to meet you as
well... Im sorry,... were you
friend of my dads?
Ciara looks at Emmit weirdly and is very suspicious on who
he is.
EMMIT
(excited)
Oh yes, You can pretty much say
that I was his right hand man
CIARA
(Condescendingly)
You worked at the law firm?
EMMIT
(nervously)
UH, not exactly.
(gloatingly)
You see we had a different type of
business, one that was pretty
charitable.
CIANI
(Interested)
Charitable?
EMMIT
Well thats what I came here to
tell you. Your father was sick
and...
Ciara Cuts Emmit off mid sentence.

CIARA
(Upsettingly)
How did you know he was sick? He
never spoke about it.
EMMIT
(Seriously)
Listen to me carefully! The fate of
the world depends on it. Tonight, I
need you and you and Ciani to go
into your fathers office. In side
the top drarw is a key taped to the
bottom. Take that key and use it to
open a small red and white box in
the back of your fathers coset.
CIARA
(fake smiling)
Can you give us one moment.
Ciara, pulls Ciani to the side to ask her a question and
constantly looks back at Emmit. Emmits in the background
messing with the Christmas tree.
CIARA
(Concerned)
I dont trust him. Something
doesnt seem right.
CIANI
(Nicely)
I dont know, he seems nice. Maybe
we should give him a chance.
CIARA
(Suspiciously)
Why does he know so much about dad.
He seems to know an awful lot about
us and we know nothing about him.
FADE TO BLACK
INT. FATHERS LAW OFFICE. LATER THAT NIGHT
Ciara and Ciani quietly sneak into their dads office. They
are both wearing black clothing and are holding
flashlights. Ciara is not happy to be doing this and
believes she is being put on a wild goose chase. Meanwhile
Ciani is enjoying herself. As the girls walk into the room
Ciara Trips over a cord nocking over a lamp.

CIANI
(shushing)
Shhhh... be quiet. Your gonna get
us caught!
CIARA
(annoyed)
I didnt want to be here in the
first place. I cant believe I let
you talk me into this.
CIANI
(persuasively)
stop being such a stick in the mud.
Whats it gonna hurt to just see.
Ciara gently picks up the lamp and stands it back up.
CIARA
Well, I dont know... How
about Prison time...
Ciara and Ciani walk over to their fathers desk. Ciara picks
up a picture frame and looks happily at the picture of the
two hugging their dad on either side. Ciani then jams open
the drawer and whispers Ciaras name to get her attention.
Ciani discovers the key under the top drawer of their
fathers desk and shines her light on it to show her sister.
CIARA
(annoyed)
Youve gotta be kidding me
CIANI
(relieved)
See, I knew he had to be telling
the truth.
CIARA
He could have easily put this here
before we got here.
Ciani looks at Ciara and shakes her head
CIANI
Just come on and help me look for
this box.
Ciani begins to violently searching through her fathers
closet while Ciara stands on the side with her arms folded
waiting on ciani to come back out.

CIANI
(excited)
I found it!
CIARA
(curiously)
Seriously? Welll dont just stand
there, open it!
Ciani takes the key and opens the box. Inside they find a
snow globe that has a small statue town within it. There is
also a note attached to the bottom of the box. Ciara takes
the note and begins to read it.
CIANI
(Curiously)
Well... What does it say?
CIARA
This must be a joke.
Ciani snatches the paper out of Ciaras hands and begins to
read. She then looks up to her sister in a look of confusion
and surprise.
CIANI
(matter of fact-ly)
Dad Is Santa Clause!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
INT. DADS LAW OFFICE. CONTINUED
The girls look at each other in awe. They are now sitting on
the floor with the snow globe in their hands and trying to
figure out what they must do with it. Ciani begins to speak.
CIANI
(questioning)
Do you think this is real?
CIARA
(annoyed)
Of course not. Theres no such
thing as Santa.
(In denial)
Dad wouldnt keep something like
this from me even if he was.
CIANI
Well theres only one way to find
out.

CIARA
Dont you dare shake that.
CIANI
Why so scared? I thought there was
no such thing as magic?
Ciara shakes her head and looks as if she has a bad feeling
about this.
CIANI
Come on. If nothing happens than
fine. I wont bring it up again and
we can leave
Ciani takes the snow globe and shakes it all around three
times. They wait until the snow settles inside of the ball
and looks at it intensely.
CIARA
see nothing happened. Can we go
now?
All of a sudden a blinding white light shoots out of the
ball and up to the ceiling. Ciani drops the ball and holds
on to her sister tightly
FADE TO WHITE
EXT. NORTH POLE. MORNING
Ciara and Ciani appear in the north pole in a pile of snow.
They sit up holding their neck as if they just fell from the
sky. Emmit and a group of happy smiling Elfs crowd around
the two looking at them and inviting them in.
EMMIT
Welcome to the north pole girls. We
have been patiently waiting for
you..
The girls look at each other in confusion as fear.
