I love this intro because it's like The Office, which is my favorite show ever 😭 Just pretend it says Wanda and y/n. I kind of wish they put Wanda in a Juicy tracksuit since those were so iconic in the 2000s :(
Also, for the interviews: they will be italicized and have '🎬' at the beginning and end of each one.

I slowly open my eyes as I wake up. Gosh, I feel so dead. I heavily sigh and throw the blanket off of myself, sitting up. I look down and realize I'm still in my Halloween costume. Great, I forgot to change. I shuffle to my closet and pull out a pink tracksuit and white sneakers. We want to be comfortable but not bummy. I trudge out of my room and knock on Tony's door. I knock twice again before opening the door when there's no response. His room is empty... He didn't want to come home, well, that's nice. I walk down the hall and go into Wanda's room. It seems like Vision's gone too. I plop down on top of Wanda and she groans. "Ugh, y/n, get off of me," she whines. I don't move.
"I have zero energy," I sigh. Wanda sighs as well and we stay quiet for a moment until she finally shoves me off.
"Okay, get off," she groans as she pushes me. I land in the spot next to her and just stare up at the ceiling.
🎬
"Look, we've all been there, right?" Wanda chuckles. "Letting our fear and anger get the best of us..."
"Intentionally expanding the borders of the false world we created," I continue from my spot on the arm of the chair Wanda's sitting in.
*Cut to scene of the barrier expanding while soldiers run away screaming*
🎬
Wanda and I sigh and raise the blanket over our heads. The twins suddenly run into the room. "Mom, are you coming down soon?" Tommy questions.
"Mom, our game is freaking out!" Billy chimes in.
*The twins play a video game and the controllers suddenly glitch, turning into a more retro version of the controllers. They study the controllers in confusion, and they change again into the 70s version before glitching into Uno cards*
"Is she asleep?" Tommy asks.
"And is that Aunt y/n next to her?" Billy also asks.
"Yes. It's me," I dully state from under the blanket.
"Mommy's not sleeping, honey. She's just resting her eyes," Wanda tells them.
"Mom, my head feels weird. It's like really noisy. I don't like it," Billy claims. Wanda lowers the blanket to reveal her face.
"Resting. Her. Eyes," she whispers without opening her eyes.
"Aunt y/n?"
I pull the blanket down too and smile tiredly at the twins before shutting my eyes. "I'm taking a nap," I whisper. The twins give each other a weird look before quietly exiting the room.
🎬
"As punishment for our reckless evening, we plan on taking a quarantine-style staycation," I voice.
"The whole day... just to ourselves... That'll show me," Wanda chimes in.
"And me," I add.
🎬
Wanda heavily sighs and throws the blanket off of her, revealing her costume from last night. She looks at her outfit and softly sighs, "oh," covering her face with her hands. I look at her outfit and weakly chuckle.
"You slept in yours too?" I note, to which she nods.
🎥🎥🎥
The twins fight over the Wii controller in the living room but stop when they see us coming down the stairs. They give us a weird look as we walk into the kitchen. Wanda opens the fridge and grabs the almond milk, while I go to the pantry and grab the Nutella jar. I fetch a spoon from the dish rack and turn around to open the jar. The almond milk turns into a carton of Vitamin D milk and the Nutella turns into peanut butter. "Aw, man, I don't want peanut butter," I complain. I move my hands in a reverse motion, turning it back into Nutella. "Hm," I hum in satisfaction and open the jar, scooping some of the hazelnut spread with my spoon.
Wanda pours milk into her bowl and when she sets the carton down, it glitches into a glass milk bottle. We glance at it confused and Wanda just picks up her bowl, shoveling a spoonful of cereal into her mouth. I grab the Nutella jar and a flash of red and lavender glitch over it. I ignore it and we head out of the kitchen.
🎬
"Yeah, I'm not sure what that's about. Maybe we're just really out of it," I tell the camera.
(In a separate interview): "It's probably just a case of the Mondays," Wanda chuckles. "Am I right?"
🎬
Vision and Tony wake up in the grass, hearing circus music around them. To their surprise, they see circus tents and clowns in front of them where the SWORD base used to be. They glance at each other before scrambling to their feet. A man suddenly walks up to them. "You're the new clowns? At least you're already in makeup, and we'll just put a wig and red nose on you. You're late for rehearsal with the escape artists, come on," he speaks. He strides away, passing by the escape artists, who happen to be Will and Darcy.
🎬
"Yeah, I'm not great at this gig, I gotta be honest. It doesn't really speak to my skill set. I put in for the bearded lady, but this alabaster complexion wasn't fooling anyone," Darcy voices.
Will shrugs from beside her. "I think I'm pretty decent."
"No, you're not," Darcy replies. Will gives her an offended look but then shrugs, accepting her statement.
🎬
Vision and Tony approach them and Vision points between himself and them. "Can we help you, creepers?" Darcy questions.
"You don't remember us from last night?" Tony asks. Darcy and Will look weirded out, misunderstanding what he meant.
"We locked eyes. There was an unspoken understanding," Vision voices.
"Um, hard pass," Darcy answers.
"Yeah, I'm not into that," Will pipes up. They both remove their chains and walk away.
"No, wait! Wait up!" Vision calls as they chase them.
"You see what you did? You scared them away," Tony exclaims.
🎥🎥🎥
Wanda and I walk into the living room with our cereal and Nutella. "Have you seen your dad?" she asks the twins.
"Or mine?" I add.
"Um, no," Tommy mumbles.
Billy awkwardly turns to us and asks, "do you wanna go look for them?"
"Well, if they don't want to be here, there's nothing we can do about it," Wanda replies.
"Mhm," I voice, shoving a spoonful of Nutella into my mouth. Wanda grasps the remote and changes the channel to the weather forecast.
"Hey, Mom, Aunt y/n. Last night, Uncle P said that thing about re-killing Dad and Tony?" Billy speaks up. We instantly turn to look at him.
"Don't believe anything that man said. He is not your uncle," Wanda strictly tells them.
"Who is he?" Tommy asks.
"Yeah, and your boyfriend?" Billy directs to me.
"He is not my boyfriend. That man is an imposter," I snap. I can tell my statement makes the twins uncomfortable.
"Then who is he really?" Tommy asks me. I get stuck, at a loss for words.
Wanda suddenly chuckles dryly. "Here's the thing, boys," she commences, setting down her bowl and rubbing her hands together. "I'm your mom and she is your aunt. And as such, you were counting on us to have all the answers, right?" she asks with a chuckle, to which the boys nod in response. "Well, we don't. I don't. I have... no answers!" she laughs. Now she's starting to weird me out. "Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Niente," she laughs again. The twins make a face, and I look into the camera with a weirded-out expression. (The Jim Halpert face lol)
"I'm starting to believe that everything is... meaningless. I mean, you're welcome to draw your own conclusions, of course, but that's... that's just where I'm at," she finishes with a strange chuckle.
🎬
"Oh, yeah, my sister has totally gone crazy... and I'm not too far behind her, to be honest," I state.
(Wanda's interview): "Okay, so maybe I went a little too dark there, but they'll be fine. Vision is made of vibranium, they literally inherited tough skin!"
🎬
Wanda sits in between Tommy and Billy and I squeeze myself in the space next to Billy. There's a knock at the door and Wanda flicks her wrist, opening the door with her powers. Without having to turn around, we already know who it is. "Hi, Agnes," I call out.
"Hi, Agnes. Come on in. I'd get up but I ju- I just don't want to," Wanda speaks, laughing and dropping the remote at the end.
"Ugh, me either," I say, laughing monotonously. Agnes's smile doesn't drop but she's clearly uncomfortable as she looks at the camera.
🎬
"But I think I got there in the nick of time 'cause they were one split end away from cutting their own bangs," Agnes depicts.
🎬
"Hey, boys. Why don't we give your mom and auntie some 'me time?" Agnes suggests to the twins. Wanda gives her a surprised look.
"Agnes, are you sure?" she softly asks.
"Oh, abso-positively!" Agnes responds. "Come on, let's go, guys," she acknowledges the twins, pulling them along.
"Do we have to, Mom?" Tommy whines.
Wanda eagerly nods. "Mhm."
"Someone needs to be here to take care of you," Billy claims.
"Boys, I'll be fine! Your aunt is here! Go with Agnes," she tells them.
"That's right," I state, not tearing my eyes away from the tv.
The twins exchange a look. "We were thinking someone sane," Tommy remarks. My head snaps to them and I gasp, offended by the comment.
🎬
"You ever just wanna throw a kid? 'Cause I could do that without even touching him," I say into the camera.
🎬
"I am completely sane and mature!" I claim before taking a sip from my water bottle. I accidentally spill a bit of water on myself. "Oh," I mumble, wiping it off with my hand. The twins share a knowing look as if I just proved their point. "Your mom and I will be 100% fine. Just go with Agnes," I tell them.
Agnes chuckles and claims, "I promise I won't bite." She looks up and smiles at the camera.
🎬
"I actually did bite a kid once," Agnes admits with a big smile.
🎬
"Agnes, you are a life-saver. Is there anything I can do for you?" Wanda offers.
"Yeah, me too! I'd love to return the favor," I chime in.
"You know what? I do have a suspicious mole on my back that I just can't see," Agnes mentions as she lifts her shirt. Mine and Wanda's eyes widen and we back up.
"Uh... I think there are doctors for that," I note.
Agnes realizes that we don't want to check out her mole. "Ah, boundaries. I get it. Say no more," she voices, making us lightly chuckle. "Alright, gentlemen, let's keep it moving. You know what? If one of you two could take a quick look, I'd appreciate it. It's right above my-"
She closes the door behind her and Wanda and I smile at each other in relief. I lean back into the couch as Wanda changes the channel. She grabs her cereal again and sits back too. We suddenly hear a rustling noise from the side and look over. The small plant by the wall turns into a taller plant, then the fireplace glitches into a 50s style fireplace. The tv and one of the chairs change as well. I sit up and move my hands in a circular motion, reversing the glitches. We glance at each other in bewilderment.
🎬
"I'm fine. I'm fine," Wanda laughs. She looks up at me and asks, "are you fine?"
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine! And so are you?" I reply, laughing as well.
"I'm fine," Wanda responds.
"Yeah, totally fine," I claim.
"We're fine... we're fine," we both say, getting quieter each time.
🎬
🎥🎥🎥
Tony and Vision follow Will and Darcy through the circus grounds. "Hello? Excuse me," Vision calls out.
"You guys tried to help us," Tony chimes in.
"Doubtful. I'm notoriously self-involved," Darcy responds.
"Yeah, I've never seen you guys in my life," Will remarks.
"Hey! Well, just forget about that for a second and hear us out," Tony speaks up, stopping in front of them. Darcy and Will sigh and nod, agreeing to listen. "Alright then," Tony utters.
"I believe that you were part of a team monitoring a supernatural anomaly," Vision murmurs to them. "And now... well, you're in it," he finishes, looking around.
Darcy sighs. "Fine, I'll go out with you, but I'm ordering the lobster," she answers, walking off.
Will eyes Tony and remarks, "I'm not going out with you." He leaves, following Darcy.
The two men sigh in frustration. Tony sees a mime nearby and mutters, "do the finger-mind thing you do." Vision is confused by this. "Oh, no! Look, that mime's tray is getting too heavy!" Tony yells out, pointing at the mime.
Darcy and Will stop and look at the mime. Tony gestures for Vision to restore their personalities.
"Oh, your bad back!" Darcy calls out. Vision sneaks behind her and Will and presses his fingers against their heads. They're immediately snapped out of character.
"Woah," Will utters, looking around.
"Ohh. Woah, okay. Ohh. Whew," Darcy reacts.
"Sir? Ma'am? Are you with us?" Tony questions them.
"Yup," Will simply responds.
"Ohh. Uh, yeah," Darcy answers.
"Alright?" Vision asks.
"Ohhh. Oh, hello, self," Darcy comments. "You know, part of me secretly wanted a guest spot on this show but seriously, that sucked." Will nods in agreement.
"Look, uh, what are your names?" Vision asks.
"Your real names," Tony joins in.
"Dr. Will Byers."
"Darcy Lewis."
Tony looks at Will in thought. "Byers... like y/n's boyfriend."
"Yeah, he's my brother... the real Jonathan, not this guy," Will confirms, alarming Tony.
Vision looks into the distance as he speaks, "Dr. Darcy Lewis. I intercepted a communication regarding your work."
The man from earlier nears the group and shouts, "Hey! The lions just got off stage, you're up!"
"Dr. Lewis, we have questions," Vision tells Darcy.
"We have answers. Uh..." Darcy replies, glancing around. She spots a van nearby. "Oh! Should we take this convo on the road?" she suggests.
"That's perfect," Tony comments.
The man walks up to them. "You four are up!"
"No, I'm so sorry. We have a prior engagement," Vision counters as they start to walk away.
The man snatches Darcy's wrist and says, "they're not going anywhere." Darcy instantly punches him, making him collapse to the ground.
"Oh, no!" Vision exclaims while Tony smiles, entertained by what just happened.
"My nose!" the man exclaims.
"Sorry," Darcy says before they run toward the van. The man shouts at them, demanding them to return. Darcy climbs into the driver's seat and Vision gets in the passenger seat while Will and Tony stand behind them. "To your house, I assume?"
"You assume correct," Tony affirms.
"Dr. Lewis, Dr. Byers, my questions: are my children safe?" Vision pipes up.
"That we don't know," Will responds as Darcy searches for the keys.
"Who's the fake Jonathan?" Tony asks.
"And that imposter, Pietro?" Vision adds.
"Beats me," Darcy claims.
"I don't know who that guy is," Will voices. Tony furrows his eyebrows.
Darcy finds the keys and bellows, "aha! Let's roll."
"Great," Tony and Vision reply. Someone starts banging on the window, making Vision yelp in shock. They all turn and see the annoying man again.
"Get out of there!"
"Sorry, can't hear you! Drive!" Vision tells the man before addressing Darcy. She starts to drive off and the man follows them. "I'm so sorry! We were double-booked by the agents!"
"We're joining the Ringling Bros, so beat it, pal!" Tony pipes up. The man keeps yelling after them, trying to stop them. "Uh, Darcy, dear? You might wanna step on it."
"I can't hear you!" Vision shouts to the man as they speed away.
