{We open up at a large beach front hotel in Flordia. We are following Adam Knite as he walks up to a door and knocks on it. It swings open and standing before him is his wife Kelly. Kelly glares him without saying a word and only pierces him with her eyes.}
Adam: Hey Kel....
Kelly: What do you want?
Adam: I just.... just wanted to apologize.
Kelly: Well?
Adam: I'm sorry.
Kelly: Why you saying it to me? You didn't do anything to me.
Adam: Because you said “well?”... nevermind... Where's Z?
{Kelly turns around and walks back into the hotel room, Adam looks confused as she sits down on the edge of the bed.}
Kelly: Bye Adam, close the door for me on your way out ok?
Adam: Kelly, don't be like this, where's my sister?
Kelly: She doesn't want to see you.
Adam: You would know that how?
Kelly: She hasn't slept at all in the past two days...
Adam: What's new about that, she's always up all night on those games...
Kelly: because all she does is lay in bed crying.
Adam: What.... are you serious?
Kelly: I don't think you realize how much you hurt her Adam.
{Adam walks into the room almost in a daze and sits down on the bed next to Kelly. She looks up at him with a somber look to match the one that has come across his face. Kelly puts her hand on his knee and pats it softly.}
Kelly: I'm sorry I slapped you.
Adam: No, I deserved it.
Kelly: I know, but still.
Adam: I 've gotta talk to her at least.
Kelly: I really don't think that's a wise idea.
Adam: I have to try.
Kelly: It's your funeral....she's down on the beach with Steve.
Adam: You let her go alone someplace with Steve?
Kelly: I'm sorry, but I trust him a lot more than I do you right now.
Adam:Whatever, why aren't you down there?
{Kelly looks at Adam as if he's crazy then points at her stomach.}
Kelly: That's not a watermelon under my shirt Adam. Nobody wants to see a pregnant woman sunbathing in a bikini.
Adam: I wouldn't mind it. Kinda sexy.
{Kelly slaps Adam across the top of his arm and shakes her head.}
Kelly: Save the sucking up for Zelda, you're going to need all the help you can get.
{SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, Adam and Kelly have found wher Zelda and Steve are set up. They are both laying in the sun, and Adam walks to his sister and stands above her.}
Adam: Z.
{Zelda half opens her eyes and looks up at Adam, she closes her eyes right back.}
Zelda: Did you say something Steve?
Steve: What? Me? no.
Zelda: Oh, I thought I heard a jerk talking.
Steve: Why are you calling me a jerk?
Zelda: What? I'm not talking about you.
{Zelda signs and points up at Adam.}
Steve: Oh... that jerk.
Adam: Ha ha.... Zel, can we talk?
{Zelda rolls over onto her stomach, doesn't say a word.}
Adam: Oh come on... don't....
Zelda: Dont' what? Act like a baby?
Steve: Ouch....
Adam: You're not helping! Zelda, I.....
Zelda: Save it. I don't care.
{Z gets to her feet where she faces Adam for a brief second before starting to walk away.}
Adam: Zelda, would you just listen to me?
Zelda: I don't have anything to say to you Adam.
Adam: I just want to say I'm sorry.
Zelda: That's nice. Now would you just leave me alone?
Adam: Good God Zel, Would you just let me apologize, I'm trying to make this right.
Zelda: Stop right there, you'll never make this right.
Adam: I know I screwed up Zel, but why are you making this so hard on me now?
Zelda: No Adam you didn't “screw up”. What you did.... that was so far beyond “screwed up”. I looked up to you. You were everything I wanted to be, you were my big brother, you were my father figure, you were my idol. You weren't just my role model, you were my hero. I always thought that no matter what happened no matter what I had gotten into... Adam would come and save me, because that's what you were, a hero... my superhero.
Adam: Zelda I can still....
Zelda: No. you can't.
Adam: Why?!
Zelda: Because heroes don't fail. Heroes don't do what you did. No matter what mistake they make no matter what they do wrong, they always come through in the end. It doesn't matter how far they've strayed off the path, when given a chance they'll make the right decision in the end. When I needed you the most, when I needed my hero to save me... he failed.
Adam: Zel... I'm just a regular Human, I can't help it that you built me up to something I'm not in your head. I made a mistake, and I'm sorry.
{Zelda doesn't say a word, she just turns around and begins to head away from her brother. Adam grabs her by the shoulder to keep her there, she suddenly turns around and with a face that is burning red with fire she slaps his arm away and through her tears she lets out all her emotions.}
Zelda: NOOO!!!!
{Adam jumps back a bit as the reaction is a complete surprise.}
Zelda: There is no making this right! I gave you a chance, I gave you an opportunity to do the right thing and all you did was look at me! You just stood there! I begged you to make the right choice, I begged you to stand up for me! You didn't! You didn't! You turned your back on me!
{Zelda begins smashing her fists into Adam's chest, the tears are flowing now as Zelda doesn't even seem to know what she's doing now. She crumbles where Kelly catches her and holds her up as what Zelda is saying now makes absolutely no sense as it's just a bunch of mumbles mixed amongst the crying. Kelly hands Zelda off to Steve and the two make their way back to the hotel room.}
Kelly: I told you it wasn't a good idea.
Adam: I don't blame her.... later Kelly.....
{Adam turns around and begins walking away as Kelly shakes her head and the scene fades away.}
...Heroes never fail... that's what she said. Heroes always do the right thing in the end. I guess all those jackasses were right during the Revolution take over, I'm no hero. I had an opportunity to make everything that I had done right again, and I couldn't bring myself to do it, I couldn't force myself to be the good guy, I was so caught up on making the right business choice.
I may have failed, and who knows if Z will ever forgive me, I may have made a royal ass of myself, but I won't give up on being a hero here. Something Zelda missed was that hero's don't give up and I won't give up to Harry. I won't give up my quest to make him pay for what he did for Kaos. I won't stop my pursuit of vengeance in the name of Kelly.
I talk about the things I couldn't do, maybe now it's time to talk about the things I can do. I can, make things better with Zelda, even though I'm not exactly sure yet, I can get some revenge on Harry and Kaos and I can win my wife's admiration back. I will not quit until I do, I will not back away until I do, and these things that I can accomplish and this goals that are in my site, I will pursue rabidly.
Just because I'm no hero doesn't mean I can't still do something right, and fighting for Kelly, will always be “right”.
Adam: Hey Kel....
Kelly: What do you want?
Adam: I just.... just wanted to apologize.
Kelly: Well?
Adam: I'm sorry.
Kelly: Why you saying it to me? You didn't do anything to me.
