First line:
Sam was brushing her hair when the girl in the mirror put down the hairbrush, smiled & said, “We don't love you anymore.” (Posted by Neil Gaiman, @neilhimself)
Scene 1:
The girl in the mirror speaks ominously to Sam of a promise once made to “them.” Sam tries desperately to remember and a memory flickers of a devil’s bargain she once made—the same day her brother disappeared. Then everything fades as Sam slips through the mirror into another world.
Scene 2:
Sam wakes up in darkness on the other side of the glass. She’s only able to look on in horror while her mirror twin slips into her place in the world. Even her own mother doesn’t seem to recognize that she has been replaced by a substitute. As she begins to succumb to fear and panic, a voice in the darkness stops her. There’s a mysterious puppet speaking to her. The puppet suggests that the way out is not through the mirror and that it’s Sam’s own fault that this is happening. The puppet also tells Sam she is nothing more than a puppet herself in some ways, even making her dance as if she were on strings. It warns Sam that time is passing and the more she lingers, the more danger there is of her mirror twin causing unspeakable harm in Sam’s world. But it offers help—of an enigmatic sort. Unable to do much else, Sam follows the puppet further into this dark world.
Scene 3:
Sam is trying to piece together where she is and what is happening. She has a faint memory of the day she made the promise to save her brother’s life. But it is elusive and fades before she can truly remember much. Suddenly the darkness gives way to light, as Sam finds she’s in the middle of a glittering city. It is a curious place, seemingly made of wood and wax, with many towers. She looks around and realize she is alone. Scared and confused, Sam searches for a way out, only to hear an eerie voice taunting her with an insidious rhyme. She runs to escape the voice to the nearest tower, but before she can gain entry, a loud cracking noise echoes from behind her.
Scene 4
A mysterious little man pulls up in a horse and carriage with a wagon full of shiny trinkets. He demands that Sam provide a trinket for admittance to a party thrown by Her Most Excellent Collector of Things. Unexpectedly, Sam finds a strange green egg in her pocket that glows and pulsates. She tries to offer it as payment but the man, a delivery man named Finnegan, tells her to put it away and keep it a secret. He drives her into the castle walls and past the guards to a golden staircase. Then Finnegan says she must go on alone. He also tells her that if she gets in trouble she should rub the egg three times and gives her a mysterious key that he says may come in handy in unlocking something important. He drives off and Sam faces the staircase.
Scene 5
Sam ascends the stairs to find a lavish party with a feast and music and dancing. In the midst of the ball, is a striking woman with green eyes and raven tresses and a blue velvet gown. The woman knows Sam’s name—and she knows her brother! She’s the one who collected him. They retire to the Queen’s parlor and she goads Sam into remembering the day she made the promise, the day her brother disappeared. Sam and her brother had an accident in the garden and the Queen had appeared as a mirror reflection. Sam had promised to go to the Queen’s world if she would save her brother but then she broke the promise and the Queen snatched the boy. Now Sam discovers her brother is still alive. She and the Queen have a standoff: the Queen wants Sam’s magic egg before she’ll give up her brother. But Sam doesn’t trust the queen and she rubs the egg. Darkness takes hold once more…
Scene 6
When Sam came to, she was in a room full of puppets. Suddenly she heard her brother’s voice calling her. She searches the room but doesn’t see a boy. Then one of the puppets speaks, demanding the egg! He uses her brother’s voice, but can it really be Bobby? Sam can’t believe it, but the puppet tricks her and steals the egg, which he says is a heart, and runs off with it. Sam chases him and the heart begins to pulsate and smoke. Suddenly a giant stuffed toy badger appears and chastises the puppet, knocking him down. The egg falls and Sam grabs it. Sam asks the badger if he knows what the egg is: Could it truly be a heart? The badger grins and tells her it’s not just any heart, it’s the Queen’s heart.
Scene 7
Sam hears the story of the woman who has become Queen of this mysterious land. The woman was once a puppet maker entreated with making a special puppet for a prince. She toiled hard but the puppet wasn’t grand enough. Then a magpie came along one day with a magic mirror. The mirror brought dead things to life and made living things die. This was the solution to the puppet maker’s problem! She would use the mirror to bring her toy to dazzling life. But the magpie insisted the Puppet Maker give her heart in exchange! The crafty woman felt this was too high a price, but she wanted the best puppet possible for the prince. So she tried to cheat, but the magic mirror pulled her through to the other side. Sam was enraptured by this familiar sounding tale but then an interruption: the Prince himself appeared! And he reveals that he is the twin brother of the Queen, separated from her at birth. He also tells Sam that the green stone egg, that she now knows to be the Queen’s heart, is the key to finding her brother, Bobby.
Scene 8
Elated to hear this, Sam asks what she must do to find her brother. The Prince takes her, the badger and Pinman on a wild chariot ride into the sky. Their map is a curious music box that plays a familiar tune from Sam’s childhood. The rhyme reveals that she must seek a rose of midnight blue and a door unseen. Suddenly the song stops and a bright light explodes in the sky and the chariot falls to the ground where a deep blue hue engulfs the land. Then everything stops and Badger spots attack bats in the sky sent by the Queen. The prince gives Sam the music box and tells her to run. She, Pinman and Badger flee into the darkness, but are unsure where to go next. She opens the music box but the tune doesn’t play. Badger spies a keyhole in the box, and Sam remembers the key in her pocket. She uses it and the lid slowly opens to reveal …a doll that looks exactly like Sam. Suddenly, the doll opens its mouth and screams one fateful word: “Impostor!”
Scene 9
In shock, Sam drops the box, the tiny voice echoing the refrain of her mirror twin from the day’s start: “We don’t love you anymore!” Suddenly, the Prince, wounded near-fatally, staggers forward and reveals that the doll is a part of Sam herself and that it holds the key to her understanding. He urgently reminds Sam to find the rose and remember the song, and then he dies tragically. Sam is saddened and furious, but forges on determined to find the blue rose. She happens on an invisible vine that pulls her, Pinman and Badger into a strange garden, filled with talking blue roses. She accidentally lands on one, breaking it and is confronted by an imperious paper swan wearing a crown embellished with a blue crystal rose. The swan demands she hand over her heart in exchange for the broken rose, but Sam cleverly thrusts the queen’s heart into Pinman’s hand and it starts smoldering. He lights the swan on fire, immolating her and Sam takes the crown, the rose emitting a blue-green glow that surrounds them…
Scene 10
Putting on the crown emboldens Sam with a sense of power, but brings her no closer to finding her brother. She inspects the blue rose and finds on its stem a thorn—a tiny shard of silver mirror. Sam thinks about pieces, pieces of herself and pieces of the puzzle—two brothers, two sisters, two promises broken. A key and a heart….but how do they unlock the mystery? She can’t quite put it together yet and time is a tickin’. Sam remembers the song mentioned a door and they search for a door unseen without luck. Then Sam puts on the crown once more and as Queen of the Roses, commands the flowers to show her the door. The blue crystal rose floats up and out of the crown breaking into a shimmering cloud of shards, in which a door forms. She uses the key and then the heart, finally wrenching the door open just in time for the three of them to tumble through before the Queen’s hunters swoop down to attack them. But the question remains…where are they now?
Scene 11
Sam, Pinman and Badger find themselves in a dark space, only to hear a voice and realize they are now inside the music box! The doppelganger doll tells Sam that she’s a piece of her and that she’ll need to reunite the fractured pieces of herself and love herself again to rescue herself and Bobby. There is an enchanted mirror in the music box that shows them the location of her brother Bobby—he’s a prisoner in the Queen’s castle, trapped in the body of a magpie..
Scene 12
Sam laments that the castle is too far to walk back to and that they’ll need transportation to get there. She knows just who she can call, and as she readies her trinket (the gold crown) she and her friends join forces with the doll and leave the music box, stepping through the mirror. No sooner are they through than their old friend Finnegan comes along with his carriage full of trinkets and sweeps them up to head to the Queen’s castle, but upon pulling up outside, they get a bit of a surprise. It seems the Queen’s very large army is waiting for them! (Dun, dun, dun!) |
