FADE IN:

INT. BAR - DAY

 

A gnome, GNOME, enters the bar, visibly angry.

 

                           GNOME

               (shaking fist)

           Hey, what’s so damn funny about a Gnome walking into a bar? A Gnome can’t walk into a bar without it being some kind of joke, huh!? People should take Gnomes seriously!

 

Gnome walks over to a bar stool, jumps onto it, and waves to the BARTENDER.

 

                           GNOME

               (to Bartender)

           Getting damn near impossible for a gnome like me to enjoy a frosty beverage in peace!

 

The Bartender nods and places a pint in front of Gnome.

 

INT. BAR - DAY (FRONT OF GNOME)

 

Gnome sits at the bar, facing the Bartender.

 

                           GNOME

               (to Bartender)

           I know, I know, educational purposes, budget cuts, all that jazz... but STILL! That thing belongs in space, not stuck in a hangar or on a launchpad for display.

 

Bartender shrugs and leans back.

Gnome takes a drink of his pint, then resumes typing on his laptop.

 

INT. BAR - DAY

 

Gnome suddenly appears shocked, shaking his head in disgust, as an item on television shows the final landing of Space Shuttle Endeavour.

 

                           GNOME

               (to Bartender)

           Unbelievable! Can you believe they’re shutting down the Space Shuttle program? Such a shame! Such a waste of technology!

 

Gnome takes another drink of his pint and continues typing.

 

INT. BAR - DAY

 

Gnome finishes his drink, stands up, and does a backflip.

 

                           GNOME

           (voiceover)

           To action!

 

Gnome dismounts his stool, cartwheels towards the exit, and walks out.

 

FADE OUT.

 

INT. SPACE SHUTTLE - LAUNCHPAD - DAY

 

A white screen fades in and then fades to black.

 

NARRATOR (voiceover)

T-10 seconds.

 

INT. SPACE SHUTTLE - LAUNCHPAD - DAY

 

Gnome's voice is heard, GNOME (voiceover).

 

                           GNOME (voiceover)

           Activate main engine hydrogen burn-off system!

 

White smoke billows from underneath the rockets.

 

NARRATOR (voiceover)

T-6.6 seconds. This particular gnome is very excited.

 

                           GNOME (voiceover)

           Oh, I am so very excited! Main engine start!

 

Smoke intensifies, and the shuttle starts to vibrate.

 

NARRATOR (voiceover)

T-3, 2, 1...

 

 

                           GNOME (voiceover)

           We have lift-off!

 

The shuttle takes off, and the camera follows it into the sky.

 

FADE OUT.

INT. ALIEN PLANET - DAY

A lush, otherworldly landscape stretches out before the Space Gnome, GNOME. Strange alien flora and fauna dot the horizon. The sky is filled with vibrant colors, alien birds soaring through the air.

GNOME takes a moment to marvel at the surroundings, then checks the holographic map projected from his wrist device.

                        GNOME

             (to himself)

         According to the coordinates, the artifact should be nearby. Better stay alert.

As GNOME cautiously moves forward, a group of hostile alien creatures emerges from the bushes. They hiss and bare their teeth, preparing to attack.

GNOME readies his space wrench, adopting a defensive stance.

                        GNOME

          (determined)

      Time to show these aliens what a Space Gnome is made of!

GNOME engages in a thrilling battle, swiftly dodging alien attacks and delivering precise blows with his space wrench. The fight is intense but short-lived as GNOME defeats the creatures with a combination of skill and wit.

As the defeated aliens retreat, GNOME catches his breath and surveys the area, realizing that more creatures are approaching from all directions.

                        GNOME

             (alert)

         Looks like I've stirred up quite a nest! Gotta think fast.

GNOME quickly assesses the situation and spots a nearby rock formation with narrow crevices.

                        GNOME

             (thinking)

         The old gnome squeeze trick might just do the trick!

GNOME dashes towards the rock formation, narrowly avoiding the lunges of the pursuing aliens. With nimble agility, he slips into one of the narrow crevices, leaving the creatures frustrated and confused.

Inside the crevice, GNOME catches his breath, his heart pounding with adrenaline.

                        GNOME

             (whispering)

         Phew! That was a close call. Time to come up with a new plan.

GNOME takes out his holographic map once again, studying it intently for any alternative routes or hidden paths.

                        GNOME

             (determined)

         There's always a way. I'll find it, and I'll retrieve that artifact.

With renewed determination, GNOME sets off deeper into the alien planet, navigating through treacherous terrain and encountering more fantastical creatures along the way.

FADE OUT.
