Downtown Paw-Tucket—Littlest Pet Shop Plaza—Day.* Trip Hamston, adventurous, big-ego guinea pig, wheels into view on his scooter, gripping a book titled “Hypnosis for Fun & Pranks.” **TRIP:** (reading) “Step one: Swirly eyes. Step two: Silly suggestion. Step three: Laugh maniacally.” (grins) Oh, this is gonna be epic. He glances around and spots the gang gathered at the smoothie stand: - **Roxie McTerrier** is slurping a gigantic smoothie. - **Jade Catkin** curls in a lounge chair, half-dozing, sarcasm at the ready. - **Bev Gilturtle** balances four juggling balls. - **Edie Von Keet** rehearses dramatic lines with a compact mirror. - **Quincy Goatee** shies from nearby pigeons, clutching his tap shoes. **TRIP:** (to himself) Time to fire up the fun-o-meter. --- **SCENE 1: THE PLAN** Trip hops onto a smoothie crate. **TRIP:** (cheery) Hey, superstars! Who’s in the mood for a little *magic*? **EDIE:** (does a dramatic hair toss, feather glint) Darling, I’m always in the mood for an audience. Will there be costumes? **BEV:** If by magic you mean “chocolate milk appearing out of nowhere,” then count me in! **JADE:** (yawns) Unless it’ll make me sleepier, pass. **QUINCY:** Uh... magic? Like rabbits? (shivers) **ROXIE:** I love magic tricks! Especially the ones with snacks. **TRIP:** Not quite 'rabbity,' Q-man. It’s hypnosis! I’ve been practicing! Wanna see? **BEV:** Hypnosis? Ooh ooh! Make me quack like a duck. Or maybe sing opera! **EDIE:** I could expand my repertoire as a parakeet starring in a duck opera... **JADE:** Trip, if this ends with me doing anything embarrassing, I’ll haunt you. **TRIP:** (waves paw) Trust me—this’ll be classic! --- **SCENE 2: THE PRANKS BEGIN** Trip whips out a swirling disc, spinning it smoothly. Bev volunteers first. **TRIP:** Okay, Bev, stare at the disc and repeat: “I’m feeling totally turtley.” **BEV:** (big, watery eyes) I’m feeling totally turtley! Trip snaps his fingers. Bev blinks. **TRIP:** You're now... the world’s best juggler! (She’s already juggling.) **BEV:** Uh… I always knew. **TRIP:** Moving on! Roxie, you in? **ROXIE:** Sure! Jade groans. **JADE:** Are we seriously doing this? Trip spins the disc. Jade’s curiosity perks through her sleepy skepticism. **TRIP:** Jade, gaze into the magic disc, feel *super doggy.* **JADE:** Ugh, pointless. (Stares lazily, then, her eyes briefly swirl.) **TRIP:** You’re a dog until you hear the word ‘Meow.’ Jade blinks, confused. Trip tries a test. **TRIP:** Jade, fetch! Jade leaps up, tail wagging and tongue out. She barks, runs in circles. **JADE:** Woof! Woof! Woof! Ball! Belly rubs! (She pants, then chases her own tail.) The group gapes. **ROXIE:** Jade! *You're* acting like me! **EDIE:** So undignified, darling. Though your bark has style. Trip smirks. Next target: Roxie. **TRIP:** Watch the disc, Roxie, round and round, smooth and sound... **ROXIE:** (giggles, watches, eyes swirl) **TRIP:** Whenever you hear the word ‘fetch’... you’ll freeze! Only the words ‘tennis ball’ can unfreeze you. Trip turns to Quincy. Quincy quivers. **QUINCY:** Will this make me brave? Um... Okay, I’ll try. Trip hypnotizes him gently. **TRIP:** Quincy, you’ll want to do adventure-y things! Like climbing, cartwheeling, exploring! Quincy nods in a daze. **TRIP:** Edie, Bev, time for the pièce de résistance! Edie, you’ll think you’re Bev. Bev, you’ll think you’re Edie. When you hear “Spotlight,” you’ll switch back. He snaps fingers. Eyes swirl. --- **SCENE 3: HYPNOTIZED HIJINX** Trip is delighted. Jade, still 'dogged,' sniffs everything, tail wagging. Roxie is normal until Trip says: **TRIP:** Jade, go fetch me that bone-shaped cookie. **ROXIE:** (mid-slurp, instantly *freezes*, smoothie dribbles down side, paws mid-air.) Bev (now Edie) and Edie (now Bev) are instantly awkward. **BEV-AS-EDIE:** Darling, the stage calls! Jazz flutes and tap shoes and a cascade of adoring fans! **EDIE-AS-BEV:** (wide-eyed) I wanna try, uh, skydiving! Or maybe underwater juggling... **QUINCY:** I feel... (looks at rope swing nearby) kinda... like swinging from that rope! He launches—overcoming his usual nerves. **TRIP:** This is amazing! Best prank ever. Suddenly, Jade (dog version) comes over, tongue lolling, and tries to lick everyone. **JADE (DOG):** Who wants slobbery kisses? Woof! **EDIE-AS-BEV:** Jade, I am much too delicate for drool, thank you! Jade leaps up, does a circle, then lies at Roxie’s frozen feet, cuddled. **BEV-AS-EDIE:** Can we do a big musical number about cookies, Roxie? Roxie remains stuck, smoothie now drooling onto Jade’s fur. **TRIP:** (grins) I could keep this up forever! Quincy swings Tarzan-style, then lands in a pile of foam balls. Jade barks, fetches a squeaky toy, and the Edie-Bev duo attempts to juggle feathers together. --- **SCENE 4: PRANKS ESCALATE** Hours pass. Trip milks every moment. He plants Roxie in awkward spots. - Trip sets up a “fetch” sign as Roxie scooter-rides. She freezes, tips into flower beds. - Jade, tail-wagging, barks at squirrels, scares pigeons, rolls in the dirt. - Quincy climbs on Bev’s shell, “adventurous,” nearly launches off the skate ramp. - Edie, in Bev’s body, attempts a dramatic monologue with turtle style, while Bev-in-Edie twirls for applause. - Whenever Trip says “Spotlight!” they snap back, dazed, then switch again for extra confusion. **TRIP:** This is better than last year's pie-in-the-face party! The others begin to realize they’re being played—except Jade, who is too busy acting like a dog. **ROXIE:** (once unfrozen accidentally by a passing jogger yelling "tennis ball!") Trip! This isn’t fun anymore. I missed the Ice Cream Festival because you froze me at the sign-up table! **JADE (DOG):** Woof woof! Want me to chase Trip for you? **EDIE (as Bev):** Trip, darling, I do demand an audience but not this kind of confusion. Tap dancing? In my feathers? Outrageous! **BEV (as Edie):** Edie, your body feels very… squishy. **QUINCY:** I don't like climbing telephone poles! Or walking on high wires. I want to faint again! ***CUT TO: Jade chasing her own tail, tail wagging so hard she knocks smoothies over; Bev, in Edie's body, attempting to direct a “spotlight” onto a turtle shell; Edie, in Bev’s body, rolling around; Roxie, repeatedly frozen at the word “fetch,” stuck in increasingly weird spots (bird bath, tight rope, hamster maze).*** --- **SCENE 5: THE GANG PLOTS REVENGE** Jade, after Trip accidentally says “meow!” (while reading a menu aloud), collapses, exhausted, back to herself. **JADE:** (groggy, shakes head) What… Ew. Who licked a cactus? And why do I smell like squirrel? **BEV-AS-EDIE:** Welcome back, Jade! Welcome to the land of Edie—err, Bev—err... **EDIE-AS-BEV:** We’re… not ourselves. Jade, we need to break Trip’s spell! Roxie is unfrozen but still sulky. **BEV/EDIE (switching periodically):** I can orchestrate a grand tap-dance opera. We’ll bring the spotlight back! Quincy, clutching his tap shoes, trembles—and faints from fatigue. Jade rallies everyone: *"We need a plan. Somebody bring me coffee and a plan."* --- **SCENE 6: THE COUNTER-HYPNOSIS PLAN** The pets sneak into Trip’s hangout—his pillow fort and scooter garage. **JADE:** If Trip could hypnotize us, surely we can reverse it. Roxie, you keep him busy. Quincy, stand guard. Edie and Bev, start practicing your “hypno voice.” I’ll look for a counter-spell in Trip’s book. **ROXIE:** (peppy) I'll distract him with snacks! As Trip enjoys telling Quincy to bungee off the stair rail, Roxie bounds up, holding a tray of cookies. **ROXIE:** Hey Trip! Fetch these cookies! Trip, delighted, freezes Roxie again. Jade sneaks behind, pawing through the book. **JADE:** There’s gotta be a way to reverse it. Wait—“If reversed, power is weakened against hypnotist.” *Excellent.* Edie and Bev, switching bodies, gather around. **EDIE-AS-BEV:** Do we have to swirl our eyes, or would a dramatic flourish suffice? **BEV-AS-EDIE:** Maybe jazz hands help? Jade grumbles, but builds a makeshift disc. Quincy nurses his fainting goat nerves. **JADE:** All we have to do is get Trip to stare at this and listen to us… (“I’m fabulous and ready to listen to my friends.”) --- **SCENE 7: SETTING THE TRAP** Roxie unfreezes when Jade says “tennis ball.” She wiggles, regains composure. **JADE:** Roxie, you’re on. Distract him! **ROXIE:** Trip! Want to see the world’s biggest tennis ball? (holds up giant bouncy ball) Trip can't resist. He follows, bragging. **TRIP:** I bet I can bounce it further than anyone. Maybe off the sign, into the pastry shop! As Trip lines up the bounce, Jade flashes the homemade disc. **JADE:** Hey, Trip! Check this out—swirl swirl, round and round! Trip glances at the disc; Edie and Bev perform dramatic “hypno” voices. **EDIE-AS-BEV:** You feel very sleepy! Very, very eager to do whatever we say! **BEV-AS-EDIE:** Like serve us cookies! And polish our shells! And give Edie a magazine cover! Trip’s eyes swirl. He droops, grinning dazedly. **TRIP:** I… I must do whatever you say. Cookies. Magazines. Smooshy pillows. Polished turtle shell. Jade stifles a snicker. Roxie leaps. **ROXIE:** Trip, please help me set up for the Paw-Tucket Talent Show. **EDIE:** And fetch me the finest silk scarves! **QUINCY:** And make me a triple-layer smoothie while juggling duck plushies! **BEV:** Let’s see you do tap dancing and sing like a goat! The pets run Trip ragged—making him: - Serve smoothies with a dramatic flourish. - Polish Bev’s shell to a mirror sheen. - Tap-dance and sing “baa baa baa” in a goat costume. - Unfreeze Roxie from a traffic cone (she’s stuck by one last “fetch” sign). - Set up Edie’s stage with roses and confetti. Every time he finishes a task, Roxie declares a new one. **ROXIE:** Trip, fetch us the entire cookie box! **TRIP:** (droopy, monotone) Yes, master. Eventually, Trip is wrung out—feather boas tangled, cookies squished, smoothies everywhere, Edie perched atop his head, Bev tap-dancing in the background. --- **SCENE 8: HYPNOSIS REVERSED—FRIENDS RECONCILE** Jade reads from the hypnosis book. **JADE:** “To end hypnosis, all participants must say together: ‘Friendship first, pranks last.’” The gang gathers, Trip still under their spell. **ALL:** Friendship first, pranks last! Trip shakes himself—eyes swirl, then blink clear. **TRIP:** Huh? Why am I covered in feathers, holding a tennis ball, and wearing a goat costume? **ROXIE:** You hypnotized us—and made us do all sorts of silly stuff! Payback time, Trip! **TRIP:** (sheepish) Okay, okay, I admit… maybe I went too far. (looks contrite) Sorry, guys. Friends? Edie sweeps forward in flourish. **EDIE:** For the sake of drama—and friendship—I accept your apology, darling. Bev snaps a group selfie. **BEV:** Best prank war ever! We should do this next Tuesday—except with more confetti! Jade stretches, already blinking sleepily. **JADE:** Wake me up in a year, after Trip pays back all his servant hours. I expect weekly massages. Quincy, tap-dancing nervously, nods. **QUINCY:** Let’s just do board games next time. Roxie beams, running to hug everyone. **ROXIE:** Group hug! Trip joins reluctantly, still wearing a goat hat. **TRIP:** Fine—group hug. No more hypnosis pranks. Well… maybe just a little. Everyone groans as Roxie puppy-piles the group. Jade curls up, sighing. --- **SCENE 9: CODA—THE AFTERMATH** Later, as the pets relax—Jade naps on Edie’s feather boa, Bev juggles cookies, Roxie invents a “fetch but don't freeze” game, Quincy practices faint-free tap-dancing, Trip lounges in the dog bed. **QUINCY:** Trip, you sure you learned your lesson? **TRIP:** (grinning) Definitely. From now on, only harmless pranks. No magic. Unless it involves snacks. **EDIE:** And the spotlight, darling. The spotlight. **BEV:** Or mountain climbing! Or underwater juggling! Or maybe, hypnotize Edie’s owner to let us eat cake! **JADE:** (half-asleep) Wake me up when Trip does something less annoying… Everyone laughs, music swells, and the episode ends with Trip serving cookies as a butler, Edie strutting down a makeshift runway, Jade curled up content, Roxie unfrozen and happy, Bev performing a tap-dance finale, and Quincy—surprisingly adventurous—doing a backflip on a pillow. **FADE OUT.** --- **END OF EPISODE** --- *Word count: ~2400 words.
