About

Van Man

May 30 1977

Van Man was born on the west coast of California at an unknown location inside of an alien space craft.

His nickname is taken from Steven Spielberg's “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” movie end credits.

He is a brown mouse with blue eyes and black hair. His clothing matches Chip's so he can attract a blonde girl mouse some day.

The Spirit of the RMS Titanic

A blonde girl mouse was born on May 31, 1981, in Belfast, Ireland. She is to be known as "Titanic" by her family.

In The Shadow Of The Moon

Chapter 1

EXT. CITY STREET - DAY

"I Can't Drive 55"

Downtown L.A. August 29, 1997. Noon on a hot summer day. The lunchtime crowd stacks up into a wall of humanity. In SLOW MOTION they move in herds among the glittering rows of cars jammed bumper to bumper. Heat ripples distort the torrent of faces. The image is surreal dreamy... there is children playing at a playground and like a dream it begins very slowly dissolve to...

July 2029

Cameron's nightmare. Downtown is in ruins. Cars is still bumper to bumper. Same playground is in ruins by the hydrogen bomb.


INT. Cameron Philip'S CELL - DAY

       CLOSE ON Cameron.  She is shackled, hands and feet, to the bed.
       Sunlight falls across her pale face.  A hand enter frame, gently
       stroking her cheek.  She wakes up to see --
       Van Man.  Sitting on the edge of her bed, looking exactly the
       same as we last saw him in 1987.  Scruffy black hair and a long
       raincoat.
                               Cameron
               Van..?  You're dead.
       He gives her a gentle smile.
                               Van Man
               I know.  This is real, Cameron.
                               Cameron
               Oh.  Yeah.  They... make me take this stuff...
       He puts a finger to her lips.  Then silently unfastens her restraints.
       They gaze into each other's eyes.  And in the look that his death
       and the horror she has been through since hasn't touched their love
       at all.
                               Cameron
               Hold me.
       She melts into Van's arms.  Pulls him to her.
                               Van Man
               I love you.  I always will.
                               Cameron
               Oh, God... Van.  I need you so much.
       She kisses him passionately.  They are locked together in a timeless
       moment.  PUSH IN TIGHT on Cameron as she buries her face in his
       shoulder.  She shuts her eyes tight.  Stay on Cameron as Van Man speaks.
       He voice is strangely cold.
           Van Man (O.S.)
               Where's Chip, Cameron?
       Cameron opens her eyes and he is no longer in her arms.  He is standing
       across the room.  Pinning her with an accusing gaze.
                               Cameorn
               They took him from me.
                               Van Man
               It's Chip who's the target now.  You have to
               protect him.  He's wide open.
                               Cameron
               I know!
                               Van Man
               Don't quit, Cameron.  Our friend needs you.
                               Cameron
                       (struggling not to cry)
               I know, but I'm not as strong as I'm supposed
               to be.  I can't do it.  I'm screwing up the
               mission.
                               Van Man
               Remember the message... the future is not set.
               There is not fate but what we make for ourselves.
       He turns toward the door.
                               Cameron
               Van Man, don't go!

Van Man (turning back to her) There's not much time left in the world, Cameron.

       Van Man goes out the door.  Cameron jumps from the bed, frantic.  Yanks
       the door open.  Follow her out.
     INT. CORRIDOR
       Cameron staggers from her cell.  Van Man is already, impossibly, a
       hundred feet away, striding down the dim corridor.  A silhouette
       in a long coat, disappearing around a corner.
       Cameron runs after him, her bare feet slapping the cold linoleum.
       Her hospital gown floats out behind her as she dream-runs along the
       seemingly infinite corridor.  She reaches the corner, slides around
       it, and...
    		Slams right into the arms of Douglas and his three helpers.  They
       grab her as she struggles and screams.  Then Silberman is there,
       smiling soothingly.  They force her down and she is pinned to
       the floor, screaming.  Van Man walks toward her, with heavy measured steps.


       His eyes concealed by the sunglasses, he stands over.  He reaches down and takes her hand.  Lifts her up.  Leads her to a door.  They go through
       together.  Emerging into...
    		A BEAUTIFUL SUNLIGHT AFTERNOON.  CHILDREN are playing nearby... sliding
       down slides, clambering through a jungle gym.  Cameron knows this
       dream now... it is the worst of all her nightmares.  She starts
       to scream but no sound comes out. Van Man covered her mouth with his hand.
               
                Van Man
       This is not a dream. It's real. I got your clothes in my van. 
       Cameron doesn't say anything and followed Van Man to a parking lot. His Van is black. He opened the side door and she went in to change clothes. Van Man waited outside. Cameron came out with casual clothes fit for summer. 
                Van Man
       Judgement Day is supposed to happen today during the lunch hour. In this timeline the nuclear nightmare doesn't happen. I suggest we eat lunch here. 
                Cameron
       I'm glad there is no nuclear war. I saw food in the van. I am getting hungry.

They are having lunch together at the playground. Cameron is relieved that there is no hydrogen bomb.

               Cameron
     Van Man. I... love you.
               Van Man
          Like seriously?
               Cameron
      Yes, like seriously.

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Sandra "Sandy" Cheeks (born November 17, 1987) is a female squirrel and is notable for her Texan characteristics, knowledge of karate and science. Sandy come from the state of Texas and exhibits many characteristics of a stereotypical "cowgirl" character. She speaks with a heavy southern accent, and uses typical southern slang words and phrases I can't reveal here. She is very fond of her homeland and its culture in which she grows homesick for it and considers leaving Bikini Bottom to return to Texas.

As an inventor, Sandy is capable of creating extremely advanced devices with ease. Her inventions include a manned space ship, a teleporter, a submarine, and even a cloning device.

Sandy lives in Houston. She moved to Bikini Bottom from Houston, Texas.

Memorable quotes:

"Howdy!"

"I like you, Van Man."

She is in Van Man's house. "Shoot! Looks like a twister hit this place!"
