### **Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own**
**Episode Title: Curtain Call Catastrophe**
---
#### **COLD OPEN**
*[INT. PAW-TUCKET THEATER - DAY]*
*The PETS are gathered around a bulletin board covered in colorful flyers announcing the “PAW-TUCKET ACTORS EXTRAVAGANZA: STARRING LOCAL TALENT!” Edie Von Keet is front and center, striking dramatic poses in front of an imaginary audience.*
**EDIE (in her own sparkling way):**
And the curtain rises, the spotlight shines, and—oh! The role of a lifetime is upon me!
**ROXIE (excitedly, wagging her tail):**
Ooo, Edie, you gonna try out for the play? I heard it’s *huge*. Trampoline huge!
**BEV (delighted, twirling):**
Ooo, I wanna be a tree! Or maybe the wind. Can you play the wind? Whoosh! *(spin)*
**TRIP (sounding like Bev, with Trip’s intonation):**
Yo, Bev! If they let you play the wind, I want to be thunder. Big, *BAM*, ya dig?
*Bev, in Trip’s hamster body, fistbumps Trip-in-Bev.*
**JADE (deadpan, reading the flyer):**
*sigh* “Open auditions for ‘A Dog’s Life: The Musical’.” How original. At least it’s not ‘Cats’.*
**QUINCY (wobbles, nervously):**
Does anyone faint in the play? Because I’m really good at that.
*Edie, not listening, is already warming up exercises. She launches into a REHEARSAL SONG in Diana Kaarina’s voice, singing to herself about “embracing the canine spirit.”*
**EDIE (singing):**
“I’m bold, I’m brave, I chase a stick,
But deep down I’m dramatic, fab, and slick!
To bark, to leap, roll over, play,
I’ll do my best — the Edie way!”
*She curtsies and the animals clap—except Jade, who slow-claps sarcastically.*
**ROXIE (jumping):**
I *love* the Edie way!

#### **TITLE CARD: "Curtain Call Catastrophe"**
---
#### **ACT ONE**
*[PAW-TUCKET THEATER AUDITORIUM]*
*Edie is at auditions: pets of all shapes await their reads. Director HAMISH HEDGEHOG paces dramatically with a beret.*
**HAMISH:**
Next! Show us your best “dog”!
*Edie leaps forward, fluffs her feathers, and begins her audition in its own hilarious, over-acted way.*
**EDIE:**
Arf! Bark bark! I—I feel the urge for… belly rubs! Or—maybe… table scraps? Woe! The agony!
*The director looks slightly perplexed; Edie’s impression is highly avian, over-the-top, and clearly not instinctively doglike.*
**HAMISH:**
Er, enthusiasm is nice, darling, but… try loosening up? Less Shakespeare, more “woof”. Understood?
*In the audience, Roxie waves.*
**ROXIE:**
Wag your tail, Edie! Like this!
*She happily spins and chases her own tail; Edie tries spinning, loses balance, and falls off the stage.*
**JADE (stage whisper to Quincy):**
I’ve seen bird-watching more exciting than this.
**QUINCY:**
She’s doing her best! *(gulp)*
*Edie recovers and, unflagging, bows grandly. Later Hamish posts the cast list:*
**HAMISH (reading):**
Congratulations to… Edie Von Keet! You are our Dog!
*The pets erupt with cheers—except Jade, who yawns.*
**EDIE (thrilled):**
Oh, my star is rising! The world—nay, *Paw-Tucket*—shall know my *Dog*!
*[MONTAGE: Edie practicing “being a dog.” She tries barking—it’s “BAWK!” She digs, but only uncovers seed. She tries fetching, but collects shiny objects.]*
**EDIE (despairing, to Roxie):**
This role, it eludes me! I cannot fathom the dog psyche!
**ROXIE (helpful):**
You totally can! Here, try rolling over. Like this!
*Roxie demonstrates a flawless roll. Edie tries, only to awkwardly flop sideways.*
**EDIE:**
Oh, Roxie, you make it look so… easy!
---
*[INT. PAW-TUCKET CENTRAL SQUARE - LATER]*
*Bev and Trip—still body swapped from the previous episode—stagger into the scene, their voices mismatched.*
**TRIP (in Bev’s body, but with his usual confidence):**
Sup, lil’ dudes. This shell is actually aerodynamic—watch me roll!
**BEV (in Trip’s body, energetic):**
And *I* can stash sunflower seeds in my cheeks! AND play hopscotch!
*Edie, desperate, notices them.*
**EDIE:**
Wait! Trip—Bev—how did you switch bodies again?
**BEV (Trip’s voice):**
Manny Mouser’s Body Swap Device 3000! It’s whiz-bang-a-licious!
**EDIE:**
Where does one... borrow such a device?
---
#### **ACT TWO**
*[INT. MANNY'S WORKSHOP]*
*Manny is tinkering away with gadgets, muttering statistics.*
**EDIE (entering):**
Manny, darling inventor—the fate of my art rests in your patented hands. May I borrow your… body swap contraption?
**MANNY (adjusting goggles):**
Hmm. Logarithmically speaking, the device is in a refractory phase. But if the probability equation aligns with the existential factor—uh, yes, okay.
*Edie grabs Roxie, who is busily sniffing cheese. Roxie grins.*
**ROXIE:**
You wanna be me?! I mean, *inside* me? I mean, *literally*? Cool! Maybe I’ll finally learn to sing!
**EDIE:**
It’s a matter of research! If I’m to be canine, I must *be* canine.
*Manny straps them into pods. Levers are thrown. There’s a zap of cartoon electricity.*
*[FX: ZWEEEEEEEEE!]*
**ROXIE’S VOICE (now coming from Edie’s body):**
Whoa! I’m… feathery!
**EDIE’S VOICE (from Roxie’s body):**
My nose! It’s so… *wondrous*. And this tail—so expressive!
*They look at themselves in a mirror, giggling.*
**EDIE-AS-ROXIE:**
Time for immersive acting! Lead on, Roxie-body!
*Cut to:*
*[EXT. DOG PARK, PAW-TUCKET]*
*Edie (in Roxie’s body) tries sniffing other dogs, rolling in stuff, chasing her own tail, devouring a hotdog in one bite. Everything is new; she narrates it melodramatically.*
**EDIE-AS-ROXIE (overacting everything):**
What is this sensation—the wind, the *smells*—oh, the ineffable joy of STICK!
*She chases a stick, barking.*
**Jade, Trip-in-Bev, Bev-in-Trip, and Quincy watch.**
**JADE (smiling slightly):**
Guess she’s really... sinking her beak into the role.
**QUINCY:**
I hope she doesn’t faint.
---
#### **MONTAGE:**
*Edie (as Roxie) learns dog habits: sniffing, leaping, doggy paddle, wolfing snacks. Meanwhile, Roxie-as-Edie tries “being a bird”: standing on one leg, eating millet, practicing Edie’s “dramatic faces” in the mirror.*
---
*[INT. PAW-TUCKET THEATER - NIGHT BEFORE THE PLAY]*
*Edie (still Roxie) and Roxie (still Edie) meet backstage.*
**EDIE-AS-ROXIE (triumphant):**
Tomorrow—I will *not* merely play a dog. I *am* the dog!
**ROXIE-AS-EDIE (flapping wings):**
And I, uh—can kinda fly! Maybe! Is there a dog treat for birds?
**MANNY (hurrying in, clipboard in paw):**
Time to swap back before curtain call!
*He flicks switches on the machine... but it *sputters*, *sparks*, and emits pathetic smoke.*
**MANNY (panicking):**
Statistical malfunction! My device—it’s... it’s... broken!
**EDIE-AS-ROXIE (horror):**
But I must star! I must *shine*!
**ROXIE-AS-EDIE (wide-eyed):**
I can’t be Edie in a musical! I don’t even know Act Three!
---
#### **ACT THREE: PERFORMANCE NIGHT**
*[EXT. THEATER LOBBY - NIGHT]*
*Pets flood in: the audience chattering, excited. Backstage, total chaos.*
**HAMISH (voice echoing):**
Places! We open in five!
*Jade, Trip-Bev, Bev-Trip, and Manny huddle.*
**JADE:**
Well, this’ll be weird.
**TRIP (as Bev):**
We got your backs, feather-dog!
**BEV (as Trip):**
Break a leg—or shell—or whatever!
**QUINCY:**
I brought my fainting pillow! For emergencies!
*Curtain rises. Hamish, narrator, reads:*
**HAMISH:**
Once upon a time, there lived a noble dog...
*Roxie-in-Edie strides onstage: the audience whispers, noticing she’s... not exactly herself.*
---
**SHOWTIME CHAOS**
*Roxie, in Edie’s feathered body (Edie’s voice), attempts Edie’s dramatic “Dog” lines, copying what she’s heard in rehearsal:*
**ROXIE-AS-EDIE:**
(wings spread)
Arf... Bark bark! Oh, that the world would see my belly for snacks!
*The other actors blink. Jade, playing a sassy alley cat, deadpans:*
**JADE (deadpan; to audience):**
And that, kids, is why you don’t eat ten birdseed muffins before bed.
*Quincy tap-dances as the butler; audience claps hesitantly.*
*Edie (in Roxie’s body), watching helplessly from the wings, mouths the script along.*
**EDIE-AS-ROXIE (whispering to herself):**
(soft, desperate)
No, Roxie—turn left, not right!
*Roxie (as Edie) accidentally improvises a musical number, unclear on the blocking. She belts a song with Edie’s voice, but her lyrics improvise slightly wrong beat/words:*
**ROXIE-AS-EDIE (singing):**
“I’m a dog in a doggone world,
Chasing sticks, giving tails a twirl!
Bring me treats—wait, is that a squirrel?!”
*The audience LAUGHS; some applause. Hamish bites his beret. Jade face-palms—stage-whispering from behind the set:*
**JADE:**
She’s winging it—literally.
*Edie-in-Roxie, wild with frustration but compelled by art, sneaks onstage, trying to communicate from the ensemble.*
*She pantomimes “do this!” moves, dog-style. Roxie watches, catches on, and does a perfect Edie-take on “fetch,” “sit,” “catch the bone,” entirely in Edie’s OTT flair.*
*The audience loves the “wacky” interpretation. The play’s climax arrives: the big solo.*
**ROXIE-AS-EDIE (center stage):**
(edie-drama, full voice)
“To know a dog is to know freedom—a heart unleashed!
I howl! I bark! — And I am *LOVED*!”
*She hits an amazing note, Edie’s vocals soaring; the crowd goes wild. The pets rush the stage.*
---
#### **RESOLUTION**
*[BACKSTAGE. The pets are basking in applause, all exhausted.]*
**HAMISH:**
Astounding! Avant-garde! You’ve re-invented dogdom in theater!
**EDIE (as Roxie):**
No, director, it was all—rox-ha— teamwork!
**TRIP (Bev body):**
And a technical glitch or two...
**QUINCY:**
And a fainting or two...
*Manny appears, tinkering with a spare bulb.*
**MANNY:**
Fixed it! Just needed a quantum reset.
*He zaps them:*
**EDIE & ROXIE:**
Woaaaaaahhhh—!
*With a flash, everyone’s back in their rightful body. Tail wags, wing flaps, everyone hugs and cheers.*
**EDIE (full of herself again, but warm):**
Thank you, Roxie. Without you inhabiting my birdly essence, I might never have become the truly canine-dramatic artist Paw-Tucket deserves!
**ROXIE (giggling):**
And you made being a dog look totally…sparkly!
**JADE:**
Is it over? Can I nap now?
*Bev and Trip, still swapped, realize Manny’s device can only fix one swap per day.*
**TRIP (in Bev):**
Guess we’ll be hamster-turtling for one more day...
**BEV (in Trip):**
Best… day… ever!
*They skitter off cheerily.*
**EDIE (to the group):**
To friends, and the best supporting cast in the universe! Curtain call!
*Everyone bows, the curtain drops, and the crowd goes wild.*
---
#### **TAG**
*Later, at the local cafe, the pets relax munching snacks. A super-fancy reviewer hands out a gold star sticker to Edie—and to Roxie too.*
**EDIE (overjoyed):**
My dream…our dream…is complete. Encore?
*Roxie, with a mouthful of biscuit, winks.*
**ROXIE:**
We gotta get Manny to fix Trip and Bev before the next play!
**JADE (drowsy):**
At least there are no more spotlights. Unless you want my spot on the couch.
*All laugh as the camera pans out on the group: together, silly, themselves again.*
**FADE OUT.**

Prompt: Write a long, detailed episode for Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own (centered on a group of pets who use a magical portal to exit the human world and enter the world of Paw-Tucket.) where Edie Von Keet ((speaking voice by Lili Beaudoin and singing voice provided by Diana Kaarina) is a fancy and dramatic parakeet who is a talented actress. She always tends to be greedy for the spotlight, which is a reflection of her 14-year-old owner.) gets the main roll of a play where she has to play a dog but struggles to understand the roll. Trip Hamston ((voiced by Travis Turner, who, like the character, is a rapper) is an adventurous and confident but sometimes goofy hamster. He is also a rapper.) and Bev Gilturtle ((voiced by Rhona Rees) is an energetic blue box turtle. She tries her hardest to entertain the other pets. She likes trying out various kinds of activities.)) who are still body swapped by Manny's body swap device, tell them that Manny Mouser ((voiced by Ryan Beil) is a highly intelligent yellow mouse, an inventor.) has a body swapping device so she uses it to swap bodies with Roxie McTerrier ((voiced by Diana Kaarina) is a hyper, optimistic and loyal Boston Terrier. She cares a lot about her friends, but she can be very naive at times. She likes eating food and having fun.) to prepare for the roll. But before they can swap back the machine breaks down on the day of the performance so Roxie- in Edie's body plays the roll. Other characters: Jade Catkin ((voiced by Ingrid Nilson) is a sarcastic and gothic bombay cat who is Roxie's roommate ever since the latter destroyed the floor in her old home. She is also Roxie's best friend but dislikes admitting it. Her favorite thing to do is sleep.) Quincy Goatee ((voiced by Kyle Rideout) is an easily frightened fainting goat who faints easily. He is Trip's best friend and roommate. In the episode "Pitch Im-Purr-Fect" it is revealed that he isn't good at singing but he is a good tap dancer.) Include dialogues. The voice stay with the body. Stay accurate to the tv series. (At least 2400 words for 11 minute long episode)
