**Episode Title: “Sleepy Solutions”**

**Teaser**

*Interior, Paw-Tastic Apartments. Jade Catkin is curled up in her bed, the sun shining pleasantly through the window. She sighs in relief and starts to purr herself to sleep.*

**Roxie McTerrier** (bursts in):
Jade! Jade! Guess what? I learned a new trick! Want to see? Watch—watch—LOOK!

**Jade Catkin** (groggily):
Roxie, I’m trying to nap...

**Roxie** (ignoring):
First, a spin, then a leap, then—YIP! YIP!

*Jade facepalms as Roxie accidentally tumbles into her pile of pillows, sending feathers everywhere.*

---

**Act 1**

*Montage: This keeps happening all day. Jade curls up—Roxie bursts in. Jade tries the couch—Roxie is there humming, tapping, or asking questions. Jade tries a closet—Roxie is already inside chasing her tail.*

*Finally, Jade slumps onto the floor, eyes half-shut.*

**Jade:**
There’s gotta be a way to get some peace and quiet...

*She walks past Austin Goldenpup and Bev Gilturtle, who are reading a book “Hypno-Fun for Everyone.”*

**Bev:**
It’s simple: a trigger word makes a pet freeze or act silly!

**Jade’s eyes light up with a sly smile.*

---

**Act 2**

*Jade waits until night, when Roxie is telling her a story about squirrels.*

**Jade:**
Roxie, want to try something fun? I’ll just say a word, and you’ll freeze! Ready? “Naptime!”

*Roxie stops mid-jump, statuesque, a happy grin frozen on her face.*

**Jade (delighted):**
Finally! Peace and quiet.

*Jade naps. Next morning, she remembers to say:*

**Jade:**
“Awaaaaake!”

*Roxie resumes in mid-pounce and lands on Jade’s stomach.*

**Roxie:**
So the squirrel did a somersault then—wait, how'd you get there? Why are you so well-rested?

**Jade (sweating):**
No reason.

*Throughout the day, Jade secretly uses “naptime” to pause Roxie to snooze undisturbed—while Roxie remains blissfully unaware.*

---

**Act 3**

*Later, Quincy Goatee and Edie Von Keet notice Roxie occasionally freezing up.*

**Edie (theatrically):**
Darling, is this performance art or a new nap style?

**Quincy:**
Maybe she has... “Dog-onatonia!”

*They investigate and spot Jade muttering “naptime” before Roxie freezes and grin conspiratorially. They decide to play along—hilarity ensues as they try to “unfreeze” Roxie with wild guesses (“Wake up!” “Get up!” “Rise and shine!” “Aardvark!”)*

*Eventually Roxie catches Jade in the act:*

**Roxie (suspicious):**
Why does everyone say “awake” when I’m near you? And why do I fall asleep standing up?

**Jade (ashamed):**
I just needed some rest! I’m sorry, Roxie. Hypnotizing you wasn’t fair. Everyone should be able to nap—and play—when they want.

---

**Epilogue**

*Jade sets things right and apologizes. They agree on “quiet time” signals and set aside “play time” hours, learning to better respect each other’s needs as friends and roommates.*

*Tag: The two nap together in a sunbeam. Bev tiptoes in, tries to prank them with “naptime,” but both just snore louder.*

---

**Moral: Good friends respect each other’s needs—and honest communication is the best way to solve roommate problems!**
