The clubhouse is alive with noise and excitement. TRIP HAMSTON is lurking behind a stack of pillows, a book titled “Hypnosis for Beginners” balanced atop his head.] **Trip (grinning, to Quincy):** Watch this, Quince! With a lil’ swirly-eye magic, you can make anyone do anything! **Quincy (trembling):** Uh... that’s cool, but isn’t hypnosis kinda... dangerous? What if you make ‘em walk off a cliff or something? **Trip (cocky):** Relax! It’s just for pranks! The only thing I’m risking is my reputation—for being the greatest prankster in Paw-Tucket! [Cut to intro. Cue theme song.] --- ### ***ACT I: THE HYPNO-PRANKS BEGIN*** [Paw-Tucket, common area. All six pets are hanging out. Jade is on her favorite pillow, eyes half-lidded. Roxie and Quincy are munching popcorn. Bev is juggling tennis balls while Edie is dramatically reading “The Princess Catastrophe – A One-Bird Show”.] **Trip:** Hey, gang! Who wants to see a trick? Step right up, don’t be shy! **Bev (bouncing):** I love tricks! Tricks are fun! Are we doing card tricks, magic tricks, or hat-tricks? **Edie (flicking a wing):** If there’s no spotlight involved, count me OUT. **Trip (brandishing his book):** Today I’m a *mind magician*! **Jade (flatly):** Hard pass. I like my brain the way it is: mysterious, enigmatic, and loaded with sarcasm. **Roxie (wags tail):** No way, hypnosis? Ooh, ooh! I saw a movie where they did that and everyone turned into dancing chickens! **Trip:** Trust me, this’ll be waaaay better. **Jade (rolling over):** Wake me up when the magic show’s over. [Trip dangles a shiny, spinning coin tied to a string.] **Trip:** Just relax, Jade... Watch it go back and forth... You feel sleepy... so sleepy... [Everyone stares, not quite sure what to expect. Yet somehow, Jade’s glare turns glazed. Trip whispers in her ear.] **Trip (whispers):** *From now on, whenever you hear the word “treat,” you’ll think you’re a dog. You’ll bark, fetch, and wag your tail like a real pooch.* And... wake up! **Jade (groggily):** Ugh. You done? Because if you’re not— [Trip tosses Roxie a dog biscuit.] **Trip:** Hey Roxie! Want a treat? **Jade (suddenly perky, tail up):** TREAT?! Where?! *Bark bark!* [Jade leaps up, panting. She circles, chases her (imaginary) tail, and starts sniffing around. Everyone is shocked.] **Roxie (delighted):** Jade! You wanna play fetch?! This is the best day e– **Jade (ears up, wags “tail”, tongue out):** FETCH! BARK BARK! THROW IT! THROW IT! [She “barks” incessantly and runs to play fetch with a stick.] **Bev (giggling):** Jade, you’re such a silly puppy! Uh...wait, is this part of the trick? **Edie (rolling eyes):** Pleeease. Jade would NEVER lower herself to canine frivolities... [Trip grins, already eyeing his next victim.] --- #### ***ROXIE FREEZE PRANK*** [Trip sidles up to Roxie, spinning his coin in front of her.] **Trip:** Hey, Roxie, wanna try? It’s fun! It’s like taking a puppy nap for your brain! **Roxie (giggling and bouncing):** Yipee! I trust you, Trip! Hypnotize me! [Trip dangles the coin. Roxie’s eyes swirl.] **Trip:** When you hear the word “fetch,” you’ll be frozen in time… You won’t move a muscle until you hear “tennis ball." **Trip:** And… Wake up! **Roxie (blink):** Wow! That was so– [Bev runs by, shouting:] **Bev:** Hey, Roxie! Wanna play *fetch* with Jade? [Roxie instantly freezes mid-wag, eyes wide. She’s stuck standing on one paw, balancing, mouth open, tongue lolling.] **Quincy:** Uh, Rox? You okay? [Waves a hoof in her face, nothing.] [Jade-as-dog sniffs at the immobile Roxie, circles her like an actual dog.] **Edie:** Is she trying out a new interpretive-dance pose? Because it’s a little avant-garde, but it’s not working for you, darling. **Trip (smirking):** Relax. I got the cure. And the magic word is... “tennis ball!” [Suddenly, Roxie bursts into motion, bowling over Bev and Jade.] **Roxie (panting):** What happened? Did I just win at freeze tag?! [Trip stifles a laugh.] --- #### ***BEV AND EDIE SWITCHAROONIE*** **Trip (to Bev):** You’re up, Bev! **Bev (excitedly):** Oh, I wanna be something… surprising! Can I be… a flying turtle? Or maybe a BEVERLY-corn! **Trip:** How ‘bout you try being Edie? **Bev:** Oooh, okay! Wait… what? **Trip dangles coin. Both Edie and Bev are drawn in.** **Trip:** When you wake up, you’ll think you’re each other. You’ll act, talk, and perform like the other. 1… 2… 3! **Edie (suddenly bouncing around like a hyperactive turtle):** I loooooove activities! Next I’m gonna try unicycling while eating pancakes! **Bev (fluffing her imaginary feathers, dramatic sigh):** If the stage isn't circular, I simply cannot perform. Also, more spotlight, darlings! **Quincy (freaked):** My brain can’t handle this! That’s Edie, but it’s Bev, but it’s Edie! **Trip (gleeful, aside):** Best. Prank. Ever. --- #### ***QUINCY, THE DAREDEVIL*** [Trip turns to Quincy, who’s nervously tiptoeing away.] **Trip:** Wait, wait, Quince! Your turn—special suggestion just for you. **Quincy (panicked):** Gulp! M-maybe I’ll just go reorganize my library… by spine height… in alphabetical order… **Trip (spins coin):** You love adventure! You want nothing more than to do the scariest, wildest stunts! Skate ramps, climbing, leaping! Wake up! **Quincy (eyes go wide):** D-did you say… STUNTS? OMIGOSH some pet hold my jump rope! Where’s the biggest slide in Paw-Tucket—I need to ride it backwards! **Bev-as-Edie (swooning):** I feel faint! Wait, I already am a fainting goat! Is this irony? [Quincy dashes off cackling, leapfrogs over chairs, does cartwheels, bounces around even as he DARES himself.] --- ### ***ACT II: CHAOS ENSUES*** [MONTAGE: All across Paw-Tucket, Trip’s pranks create wild chaos.] - **Jade** pants and chases her own tail at the dog park, attempts to bury a bone, and plays tug-of-war with a confused pug. - **Roxie** instantly freezes every time someone says “fetch”—freezes hanging off the slide, freezes while drinking a smoothie (brain freeze!), freezes while dodging a splat of paint. - **Bev-as-Edie** directs a play starring chairs and birds, demands “more sparkle!” and attempts to fly by flapping her turtle arms. - **Edie-as-Bev** roller-skates off a ramp, crash-lands in a fountain, and proclaims, “Best activity everrrr!” - **Quincy** scales the jungle gym, leaps across stepping stones, zip-lines off the clubhouse roof—never faints, always grinning wildly. [Trip cackles, watching, until...] **Jade (panting, drooling, still in dog mode):** Trip! Must. Have. TREAT! Throw the ball! Throw the baaaall! **Roxie (returns to normal after Bev yells “tennis ball”):** Urk… I’ve been stuck for like… hours? My tail’s asleep! **Quincy (zipping by, wearing a cape):** HEY GUYS! Who wants to bungee-jump into the duck pond with me!? **Bev-as-Edie:** This PLAY is a disaster. My leading turtle BROKE HER SHELL! Whatever would I… aaaghh!!! **Edie-as-Bev (staring at her feathers):** Why can’t I tuck my head in?! Why can’t I Tuck?! I need to tuck! This is the existential crisis of the year! **Trip (to camera):** Pranks: 100. Friends: 0. Best. Day. EVER. --- **Bev and Edie (snapping out of it at the same time; both yelling):** I can’t take any more of this! --- ### ***ACT III: THE FRIENDS STRIKE BACK*** [That evening. The group regroups, frazzled but plotting. Jade (half-asleep, reverted) collapses on her pillow.] **Roxie:** Trip’s pranks aren’t even funny anymore. (glances at tail) My fur’s got “freeze burn.” **Edie (grooming wings):** I got fountain water on my best feathers! Do you know how hard that is to de-glimmer!? **Bev:** Edie tried to paint me pink! But I liked being dramatic. Do I *look* like an opera singer? **Quincy:** Okay, I scaled the highest palm tree in Paw-Tucket. Fun! But...I almost fainted upside-down! **Jade (yawning):** Face it. The world’s gone “full ham” and I, for one, am over it. **Edie (scheming):** We need revenge. Something *theatrical*! **Bev (dramatic):** Ooh, ooh! Let’s hypnotize Trip and make him clean up all the messes! **Jade (smirk):** And get my midnight snack ready every night. **Roxie:** And give us piggy-backs! (pause) Piggy…back…get it? Heh? (Everyone groans.) **Quincy (gulp):** Isn’t that, uh, mean? **Edie:** It’s only fair he gets a taste of his own *mesmerizing* medicine! --- [Cut to Trip relaxing, building a “Best Pranker” trophy out of cheese puffs. Edie and Bev approach, each holding one end of the hypnosis coin necklace.] **Edie (putting on her best “hypnotist” voice):** Trip, have you ever wondered what it’s like to truly *BE* a star? To be a LEADING-HAM? **Trip (suspicious):** You want ME to take the stage? **Bev:** Super fun adventure, Trip! Try it! **Trip:** Okay? I mean… I’ve been upstaged before, but never by a parakeet and a turtle. **Edie and Bev:** Watch the coin… left… right… sleepy… so sleepy… **Trip’s eyes go all swirly. Quincy whispers a script behind Edie’s wing.** **Edie (triumphant):** Trip, from now on, you’ll be the most loyal, hard-working servant to your friends. You’ll say “Right away, your Excellency!” every time anyone tells you to do a task. And you will love it. **Bev:** And you *must* wear a funny hat. Obviously. **Edie:** And you’ll clean up all the mess you caused! **Trip (robotically):** Right away, your Excellency! [He bows deeply, dons a spaghetti-strainer hat, and starts sweeping like a maniac.] **Jade:** Nice touch. **Roxie:** Let’s test it! Trip! My snacks exploded on the ceiling. Can you clean them down? **Trip:** Right away, your Excellency! **Quincy:** Trip, can I get a glass of water... with a twisty straw... and a tiny umbrella... and a slice of asparagus? **Trip:** Right away, your Excellency! --- [Cue montage: Trip goes full “Butler Ham”. He sweeps, brings snacks, rubs Jade’s paws, carries Bev in a basket around town, assembles a spotlight for Edie (“Louder applause, please!”), fluffs pillows, serves complicated drinks, even picks up toys Roxie left scattered every time she froze.] --- ### ***ACT IV: FRIENDS FORGIVE (RELUCTANTLY)*** [Later, clubhouse. The group lounges, amazed at how much chaos Trip can fix.] **Bev:** Wow, I never realized Trip could fold laundry that fast! **Edie:** Or organize my jewelry box by wavelength and desirability! **Quincy:** He even made me a faint-proof helmet! Kind of overkill, but thanks! **Jade (smiling, half-asleep):** This is the most relaxed I’ve ever been. Ever. Someone remember this for my autobiography. **Trip (still hypnotized, bows):** Anything for you, your Excellency! **Roxie:** O-okay, maybe we went a liiiiittle too far? **Edie (modestly):** Being a servant is so… undignified. Even for a hammy pig. **Bev:** And without Trip’s wild pranks, everything’s… quiet? Normal? Is that…boring? **Jade:** Dare I say it? I… miss the chaos. (yawns) Almost. [^*All nod, reluctantly.*^] **Quincy:** Maybe let’s just... turn him back… before he alphabetizes the whole town? **Jade (smirks):** What’s the magic word for waking up a hypnotized ham? --- **The pets gather.** **Jade:** Think… think! He snapped us all out with “tennis ball.” What’s Trip’s favorite thing...? **Bev:** Corn dogs? **Edie:** Applause? **Roxie:** Pranks! **Everyone:** Pranks! **Jade:** Worth a shot. (To Trip) Trip, I’ve got the best prank ever! **Trip (blinks, shakes head):** Prank?! Where?! Did I miss it?! [Suddenly, he looks around, confused.] **Trip (dazed):** Why am I wearing a spaghetti strainer hat? Wait, I just folded Jade’s pillow like origami! **Roxie:** You got hypnotized—*and we made you our butler!* Heehee! **Bev:** Best team-up ever! **Trip (dizzied):** Whoa… respect. You out-pranked the master. Guess I deserved that one. **Edie (flutters):** One for all, all for fun! **Quincy:** Can I go back to alphabetizing my book spines by genre now? [Everyone laughs, even Jade—whose “bark” escapes as she giggles.] --- #### ***TAG SCENE:*** [Shot of all six friends, sharing ice cream sundaes (courtesy of Trip). Jade is sprawled across her pillow, Roxie gently “fetches” a spoon, Edie and Bev are acting out (as themselves), Quincy fortifies himself with his faint-proof helmet, and Trip lounges in the middle, smiling.] **Trip:** Sooo… no hard feelings? **Jade (eyes closed):** Speak for yourself. Next time you hypnotize me, I’m making you lick your own hooves. **Trip (shudders):** Noted. (grins) Who’s up for one more prank? This one involves whipped cream… and a trampoline… **Everyone in unison:** NOOOOO! [Freeze-frame as laughter and playful chaos resume.] --- ### ***END***
