*(The Living Room in Spiderwick House)

Simon is reading a book on the couch. Jared enters, looking mischievous

Jared: (grinning) Hey, Simon! Want to explore the attic? I heard there’s a secret treasure up there!

Simon: (worried) I don’t know, Jared. What if it’s dangerous? Mum said we should stay safe.

Jared: (mocking) Oh, come on! Don’t be a scaredy-cat! What are you afraid of? A few cobwebs?

Mallory walks in annoyed, holding her fencing sword

Mallory: (sternly) What’s going on here? Simon, don’t let him drag you into his crazy ideas. And Jared, stop being so reckless!

Jared:(rolling his eyes) Relax, Mallory! We’re just going to have some fun. Besides, it’s not like you can stop me!

A loud crash comes from the attic, as they all rush up
