**"Pet Pranks and Pig Panic: A Littlest Pet Shop Mischief Tale"**

Response: **“Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own”** **Episode Title: “Hypno-Whammy Hijinks”** --- **[INT. LITTLES PET SHOP – MAIN HALL – MORNING]** *The day starts as usual in Paw-Tucket. The sun beams through the skylights in the main hall, where ROXIE McTERRIER is scarfing down kibble next to her best friend, JADE CATKIN, who is sprawled out on a sunbeam, pointedly facing away.* **ROXIE:** (enthusiastic) Jade! Jade! You wanna play fetch later? Or maybe taste some of my new peanut-butter biscuit recipe? Or—I’ve got it! We can— **JADE:** (deadpan, without looking) Roxie, you’ve already asked me to play fetch three times this week. The answer is still: not a chance. *ROXIE sticks out her tongue playfully. Meanwhile, BEV GILTURTLE skates onto the scene, wearing a tiny top hat, spinning plates on her shell. EDIE VON KEET swoops dramatically overhead, tossing glitter.* **BEV:** (excited) Good morning!! Who’s up for the “Big Surprise Talent Show Spectacular Tour”—hosted by me, starring me, with guest appearances by— **EDIE:** (finishing the list, smugly) —me, Edie Von Keet, artiste supreme, as always. *QUINCY GOATEE tiptoes in with a worried look, tripping momentarily over his own feet, glancing at the others.* **QUINCY:** (nervous) Does anyone hear…drums? It’s just my heart. Ooh, I hope nothing scary happens today. *TRIP HAMSTON, the easy-going, mischievous, and slightly sly blue pig, grins observing the gang from behind a stack of board games. He rubs his hooves together and slips something behind his back—a shiny, swirling, cartoonish HYPNO-COIN.* **TRIP:** (under his breath) Oh, today’s going to be hog-wild fun. --- **[INT. MAIN HALL – LATER]** *Trip approaches the group with the coin hidden behind his back.* **TRIP:** (smugly) Hey, Jade, Roxie… anyone want to see a magic trick? I’ve been practicing! It’s 100% entertainment guaranteed! **BEV:** Magic?! Count me in! Is there gonna be a bunny in a hat? A turtle wearing a cape? **EDIE:** (dramatically) Prepare to be dazzled, darlings, for Edie Von Keet—star of stage and screen—knows all about the power of audience demand. *Jade looks up, unimpressed, and Roxie wags her tail with interest.* **ROXIE:** Ooo, I love magic tricks! Are we gonna disappear? **TRIP:** Something like that. Everyone watch closely! *Trip pulls out the hypno-coin on a string and swings it back and forth in front of Jade first, his voice adopting a silly, faux-mystical tone.* **TRIP:** Yoooou are growing veeeery sleepy. You will obey… the ham! **JADE:** (deadpan) The “ham”? Really, Trip? *Trip winks and continues. Jade’s eyes, possibly out of boredom, lock onto the coin.* **TRIP:** When I snap my hooves, you’ll believe you’re a… DOG! And no one can convince you otherwise! (He snaps his hooves clumsily.) *Everyone watches as Jade’s limbs stiffen. She blinks, then sits up wagging an invisible tail, tongue lolling out.* **JADE:** (in a barky voice, surprising herself) Ruff! Who wants to go for a walkies?! (Pants, eyes wide.) **ROXIE:** (shocked) Jade?! **JADE:** (excited, sniffing the floor) I smell… PEANUT BUTTER BISCUITS! **BEV:** (giggling) You really got her, Trip! Jade’s actually… acting happy! *Quincy looks nervous.* **QUINCY:** Uh, Trip, is this safe? **TRIP:** ’Course! No side effects… I think. Next up: Roxie! *Trip swings the coin toward Roxie, who's already watching eagerly. Her eyes go swirly.* **TRIP:** When you hear “fetch,” you’ll freeze like a statue. Only “tennis ball” will unfreeze you. (Snaps hooves.) *He turns to Bev and Edie, who, sensing pranks, try to sneak away, but Trip is too quick.* **TRIP:** And—Edie, Bev! Watch the coin… *They both end up hypnotized, blinking as Trip grins.* **TRIP:** You two will believe you’ve swapped bodies! **EDIE & BEV:** (in chorus, as Trip snaps) Huh? *They glance at one another. Bev immediately starts posing dramatically, while Edie stands on tiptoe, wobbling, shrieking.* **EDIE (in Bev’s body):** Eek! My feathers—I mean, my shell—my glorious feathers are GONE! **BEV (in Edie’s body):** I have wings! Now I can try doing “The Flap!” (She spins, flapping clumsily.) *Trip points the coin at a jittery Quincy.* **TRIP:** Quincy, you now looove adventure. Heights? Spiders? No problem. You’ll want the wildest thrill ride—until I say… “snuggle sweater.” All clear? *Quincy’s eyes glaze. He suddenly leaps up on a table.* **QUINCY:** I’m King of the World! Who wants to bungee jump off the bookcase? **TRIP:** (roaring with laughter) Oh, this is too classic. --- **[MONTAGE: Trip’s Pranks Unfold]** - *Jade, dog-obsessed, chases security guard Percy’s tail around the lounge, barks at imaginary mail trucks, and brings Roxie a soggy slipper.* - *Roxie keeps freezing up in the middle of conversations every time anyone says “fetch”—posing as a frozen action figure, confusing all the pets. When someone yelps “tennis ball,” she’s instantly in motion, mid-sentence, none the wiser.* - *Bev (as Edie) is utterly overdramatic, swooning and launching into soliloquys. Edie (as Bev) is clumsy, attempting to skateboard with wings, crashing into a snack cart.* - *Quincy attempts a “Cliff Dive” off the kitchen counter, then challenges Jade to race him through the laundry chute. He dives into a pile of soapy socks, cackling with glee.* --- **[INT. LOUNGE – MIDDAY]** *Trip lounges on a beanbag, relishing the chaos. Jade, still barking, races by with Percy shouting behind her. Roxie freezes mid-leap as Russell, the hedgehog, shouts “fetch” by accident.* **TRIP:** (giggling) Best. Day. Ever. *Roxie, frozen, is being gently poked by Bev (in Edie’s body), who tries to snap her fingers and produces, instead… a feather.* **BEV (in Edie/with Edie’s voice):** What’s wrong, Roxie? Cat got your… um… legs? **EDIE (in Bev/with Bev’s voice, distressed):** This is undignified! Get this… shell… off me! Where’s my mirror? My fans? My—aaah! I need a new outfit! *Trip basks in his handiwork. Jade pants at his side, tail high, and offers him a shoe.* **JADE:** For you, Master! Want to throw it? Want to throw it? (Eyes wide.) **TRIP:** Aw, Jade, you’re the best dogcat ever. *Just then Quincy ziplines in from a curtain rod, yelling at the top of his voice.* **QUINCY:** Cannonballlllll! *He lands in a pile of laundry. Gillian Fish, always lurking, emerges with a glare.* **GILLIAN:** (flatly) If you all break my tank’s filter, I’ll teach you what “scary” really is. --- **[CUT TO: THE PETS START TO NOTICE SOMETHING IS WRONG]** *Bev and Edie, confused by their bodies’ reactions—itchy feathers, misaligned shells, unusual tastes in snacks—begin to suspect a problem.* **BEV (as Edie):** Edie, do you feel weird? Like you’re… not yourself? **EDIE (as Bev):** More than weird. I feel like a turtle on roller skates in a world where all the roller skates are gelatin. **BEV (as Edie):** That’s… exactly what you are. *Bev tries to do an elegant Edie twirl and accidentally bonks into a bookshelf. Edie reaches for a snack and can only chomp lettuce, horrified.* *Jade, meanwhile, is busy sniffing Roxie and nuzzling her frozen face.* **JADE:** Woof! She seems sad. Maybe she wants a belly rub. *Just then, Quincy, dizzy from too much adventure, crashes into a plant and suddenly finds himself surrounded by leaves, shrugs, and goes,* **QUINCY:** Ooo, is this poison ivy? Let's find out! --- **[ROXIE UNFROZEN: THE GANG CONFRONTS TRIP]** *Bev shouts “tennis ball,” and Roxie unfreezes midway through.* **ROXIE:** Whoa! Hey, why does my tail feel asleep? Has anyone else felt extra weird today? (She notices Jade licking her paw.) **ROXIE:** Jade, are you… okay? Want to nap together? **JADE:** (tail wagging, barking) Wanna nap? Can’t nap! Must chase… slippers! Woof! *Edie (in Bev’s body) pipes up, now frantic.* **EDIE:** Darlings, something is amiss. I can’t take this shell off, but I have all these… dance moves. And I’m craving leafy greens! *Bev (as Edie) twirls and falls.* **BEV:** This is fun! But I want MY shell back. *Quincy plops down, eyes spinning from overexcitement.* **QUINCY:** Let’s parachute off the roof! With umbrellas! *The group turns, confusion turning to suspicion.* **ROXIE:** (serious) I think Trip’s behind this. **EDIE:** (pointing at Trip) All this sudden craziness? Smells like a pig prank, not just dog drool. *The others nod, even Jade, who barks without conviction.* --- **[REVENGE PLANNING – THE PETS STRATEGIZE]** *Roxie rallies the group. Edie and Bev, arguing over who’s the “real” Edie, are conscripted. Quincy, now exhausted from wild stunts, volunteers data for the plan.* **ROXIE:** If Trip can do magic with that thingy, maybe we can use it on him! If we work together, we can get our own back. **BEV:** Ooo! We’ll give Trip a taste of his own medicine! (as Edie) Uh… Feather, feather, on the wing, make Trip the silliest thing! **EDIE:** At least let me do the dramatic speech, Bev. **JADE:** (wagging tail) Can I chew the coin when we get it? --- **[EXECUTION: THE PETS SPRING THE TRAP]** *The gang sets the scene: Jade acts like her normal gothic, sleepy self to lull Trip into a false sense of security. Bev and Edie argue, distracting him, while Quincy tiptoes up behind with the help of Roxie.* **TRIP:** (chuckling to himself) So, are you ready for next round, everyone? Hey, Jade, wanna play “fetch”? *Roxie, quick-thinking, shouts,* **ROXIE:** Tennis ball! Tennis Ball! *She grabs the hypno-coin from Trip’s pocket. He spins in surprise.* **TRIP:** Hey! Careful, that thing’s— *Suddenly, Bev and Edie, in perfect sync, swing the coin in front of Trip's face.* **BEV & EDIE:** Sweeep… sway… you’re feeling veeery piggy… *Jade sidles up and gives a commanding bark.* **JADE:** You’re now the world’s most SLEEPY pig, Trip. **ROXIE:** And, you’ll only oink and roll in imaginary mud until we say “pumpernickel”! *Trip’s eyes roll as the coin spins. Suddenly, he flops on the floor, grunting and wiggling like a pig in slop, oinking and rolling.* *The others burst out laughing, tears streaming down their faces, all the while slowly returning to normal as they giggle.* --- **[ENDING: HYPNO-COIN DESTROYED, STATUS QUO RESTORED]** *Roxie, with a triumphant cheer, tosses the coin into a donation bin, where it promptly vanishes beneath a stack of board games. Jade sniffs it once, then curls up for a nap. Bev and Edie, now back in their original bodies, sigh in relief.* **EDIE:** My plumage! My beautiful plumage! Never again, Bev, NEVER AGAIN. **BEV:** What a ride! Shells and wings—who knew?! **JADE:** (sighs, finally) I need ten solid hours of beauty sleep to recover from being a… dog. *Quincy, reverting at the phrase “snuggle sweater,” curls up shyly beside Jade.* **QUINCY:** Can we… just have a quiet board game tonight, please? *Trip finally “awakens” at a shout of “pumpernickel!” He shakes his head, blinking at the group’s laughter.* **TRIP:** (groggy, then grins) Okay, okay, you got me—best revenge ever, I admit. Just, uh… how about we never hypnotize the goat again? **ROXIE:** (grinning) Deal! Next time, let’s keep the pranks more… pawsitive, okay? *The friends laugh, glad to be themselves again—at least for now.* **BEV:** Or at least, let’s make ME the center of the next one! **JADE:** Only if I can nap through it… *(Cue laughter as the friends group hug—except Jade, who slinks away for a nap, mumbling about “crazy rambunctious canines.”)* **[FADE OUT as Trip tries to shake hay from his ears, Bev attempts to tap-dance, Edie fixes her feathers, and Roxie offers everyone peanut butter biscuits—the normal, friendship-fueled chaos of Paw-Tucket, restored.]** --- **END CREDITS.** *(Cameo: The hypno-coin, peeking from the bin, winks mysteriously…)* --- *(Word count: ~2,420.
