NEW MOON

*CREDITS OVER:*

A FULL MOON FILLS THE FRAME -- Luminous, tinged with gold. *

Slowly, a penumbral shadow begins to spread across the *moon’s surface, darkening it from left to

right...*

BELLA (V.O.)

“These violent delights have violent ends...”... until the moon is enveloped in shadow; a new moon...

*which disappears into the darkness.*

OVER BLACK - A RUFFLED TULIP appears, isolated against the *blackness. *

BELLA (V.O.)*

“... And in their triumph die, like *fire and powder...”

*HOLD ON the tulip as the background FADES UP around it to *reveal we’re now in -- *

EXT. FOREST - ECU ON THE TULIP - DAY*

It’s surrounded by the dark, lush, greenery of the forest *floor. *

BELLA (V.O.)

“... Which, as they kiss, consume...”

*SUDDENLY A FOOT SLAMS DOWN next to the tulip, nearly *crushing it. As the foot

immediately lifts off again, it *grazes the tulip, knocking its petals off –

*ON THE RUNNING PAIR OF FEET *They abruptly change direction. Race on.

INCLUDE BELLA *SWAN, desperately searching the woods -- SHORT, SURREAL CUTS *of her

frenetic quest

--BELLA

Edward!

Ahead, through the darkness of the thick forest, she SEES *SUNLIGHT; a clearing. She hurtles

toward it

--EXT. MEADOW – DAY

BELLA

Edward!

-- as Bella bursts into the sunlight. It’s the meadow where *Edwardrevealedhis skin in the sun. But

he’s not here now.

*Instead, Bella SEES --ACROSS THE MEADOW -- AN OLD WOMAN, white hair framing her

withered face. Bella’s eyes widen with surprise as she recognizes –

BELLA... Gran?

GRAN looks as surprised as Bella. Bella smiles and waves, as does Gran. Bella starts toward her but

–

EDWARD (O.S.)

Bella...She spins to the voice behind her to SEE –

EDWARD emerge from the forest, his alabaster skin in sharp *contrast to the shadows. She beams at

him, relieved, in love... until he moves to edge of the shade, inches from sun’s rays--

*BELLA

Stop - she’ll see!

But Edward just smiles and steps into the sunlight.

*Sunbeams SHATTER off his skin like a thousand rainbow *shards, as if he were made of diamonds.

An awesome sight.

JUMP CUT TO: Edward now inches from Bella, still glistening, entrancing her. She wraps an arm

around his waist, then arranges her face into a calm expression. They turn to –

*Gran, whose expression is calm, too. Gran’s arm is extended, as if she also holds someone.

JUMP CUT TO: Bella and Edward, only feet from Gran now. Bella’s about to present Edward, but

then SEES that --Gran mimics Bella’s movement exactly. With growing horror, Bella reaches out to

Gran... and touches glass!

*PULL BACK TO FIND Gran is now surrounded by a GILDED FRAME.

*It’s a MIRROR, mounted on a wall with wallpaper reflecting a *surreal dreamlike version of the

forest behind Bella. *

BELLA

Oh my God.

-- as she realizes that’s not Gran; it’s Bella, sixty-five *years older.

Bella spins to her perfect, eternally 17-year-old Edward. He takes her now WRINKLED, age-spotted

hand. Kisses it. Then he leans in very close to her 83-YEAR-OLDFACE and *whispers into her ear -

EDWARD

Happy birthday.

SMASH TO:

*INT. BELLA’S BEDROOM

- MORNINGON BELLA - her eyes snap open. She lies atop her bed. A book, “ROMEO AND

JULIET,” lays open on her chest. Bella sits up, the dream still weighing on her...

INCLUDE HER ROOM, cluttered with pictures of Edward, of the *Cullens; memorabilia of all things

Edward.

A KNOCK on the door. CHIEF CHARLIE SWAN enters carrying two gifts, one wrapped, one not.

CHARLIE

Happy birthday, Bells.

BELLA

Dad, we agreed, no gifts.

CHARLIE

At least mine’s not wrapped. He hands it to her. It’s a digital camera. Bella’s pleased, despite

herself.

BELLA

Okay, this is actually kind of great. Thanks, Dad.

CHARLIE

(re: wrapped gift)Goes with this one from your mom. We coordinated - well, she coordinated me.

Bella opens the wrapped gift to reveal a SCRAPBOOK.

CHARLIE

To put your pictures in, record your senior year -- man, senior year. How’d you get so old so fast?

BELLA

Not that old.

CHARLIE

I don’t know. Is that a wrinkle?

Bella races to the mirror, searches her face.

CHARLIE

I was kidding.

BELLA

So not funny, Dad.

EXT. FORKS HIGHWAY – DAY

An AERIAL VIEW of this lush, green, overcast landscape; the rainy world that is Forks. FIND

Bella’s old truck as it lumbers down the two-lane highway...

BELLA (V.O.)

It was just a dream... but also my worst nightmare.

*EXT. FORKS HIGH SCHOOL - PARKING LOT - DAY Bella climbs out of her truck, shouldering

her book bag. She looks around the parking lot, seeking Edward –

*MIKE (O.S.)

Wherefore art thou, Bella?

She turns as MIKE, ERIC, ANGELA and JESSICA approach.

MIKE

You finish the Shakespeare assignment?

JESSICA

He means will you finish his assignment?

MIKE

No, I don’t -- okay I do.

BELLA

I can help you with it -- but first --(pulling out her camera)I need a picture. My mom’s expecting a

scrapbook full of memories.

ANGELA(holds up her own camera)

I take ‘em, I don’t pose for ‘em.

BELLA

You dotoday. *

She pushes Angela to the others; they arrange themselves –

*JESSICA

You’ll photoshop my nose if it looks *big, right?*

ERIC

Don’t worry, I’m in the picture; no one will be looking at you guys.

Jessica scoffs, Angela points her camera at Bella; Mike and Eric joust -- Bella aims—

*FULL FRAME - THE CAMERA’S DIGITAL SCREEN *It FREEZES on them, fun, delightfully

carefree... but when *the camera lowers, their playfulness has dissipated as they *see someone behind

Bella. She turns to see -- *EDWARD climbing out of his silver Volvo.

MIKE*(dry)*

Oh good. Cullen’s here.

*JESSICA*(drier)*

Yay.

*The friends, uncomfortable, move off –

ERIC*

Check ya later.

-- But Bella doesn’t register their tone. She’s transfixed *by Edward who approaches, eyes never

leaving hers. He *reaches her, washing away all her concerns –

EDWARD

Happy birthday.

-- except that one. Her face falls.

BELLA

Don’t remind me.

EDWARD*

Your birth is definitely a day to *celebrate.*

BELLA*

Not for me.*

EDWARD*

Eighteen is a little early to be *worrying about your age.

BELLA

It’s one year older than you.

EDWARD

Bella, I’m ninety.

BELLA

True. Maybe I should be creeped out *that I’m dating such an old guy.

*EDWARD*(smiles, amused)*

Yes, it’s the age that’s creepy, not *the fact that you’re dating a vampire.

*Then he kisses her, tenderly, adoringly. She kisses him *back... despite their restraint, the passion

mounts... until he pulls away. As always, both are left wanting more. Edward nods toward the school

building --*

EDWARD*

Class.

*BELLA*

Right. Class.

*Catching their breath, they start toward school...but *Edward stops, hearing something in his mind.

Irritated.*

EDWARD*

Someone wants you.

JACOB (O.S.)

Bella!

JACOB BLACK, 16, jogs up, carrying a used car part, long, black ponytail wagging. He looks 18

due to his tall, muscular body, but the gregarious Jacob is a little klutzy, *still catching up to his

growth spurt. He nods to Edward, who moves off to the side but eyes them.

BELLA

God, Jacob, what are they feeding you on that rez, steroids? You’re huge.
