Roxie McTerrier sprints across the grass, tongue lolling, chasing a frisbee thrown by Bev Gilturtle. Jade Catkin is sprawled on a bench, tail flicking as she watches with half-lidded eyes. Quincy Goatee nervously peeks over a bush, and Edie Von Keet preens dramatically on a tree branch. Trip Hamston, ever the prankster, lurks behind a tree with a suspiciously shiny pocket watch.* --- **TRIP (to himself, grinning):** Time to turn things topsy-turvy. They're all waaay too chill right now. **QUINCY (from the bush, trembling):** Trip, what are you doing with that watch? Is it for... some kind of prank? **TRIP:** Would I *ever* prank my best pal? Heh. Let's just say, today we're gonna see some *hypno-magic*. **QUINCY (gulping):** Is there a fainting spell? Please, no fainting spells. *Trip approaches the bench where Jade is almost asleep.* --- ### SCENE 1: JADE'S DOGGY DAY **TRIP (swinging his pocket watch):** Jade, you always look so... catatonic. Ever thought about embracing your *inner dog*? **JADE (deadpan):** If I wanted to drool and bark, I'd hang out with Roxie every second. Oh wait. **TRIP:** Just watch the shine... you’re getting very sleepy... sleepier than usual. **JADE (yawns):** Been there, done that, still tired. **TRIP:** When I snap my fingers, you'll think you’re a dog until someone says "Nap"! Got it? **JADE:** Yeah, sure. (snickers) Like that's gonna work— *Trip snaps his fingers. Jade's eyes widen, pupils dilating. She instantly pops upright, tail wagging furiously.* **JADE (inexplicably chipper):** Roxie! Roxie! Can we chase that frisbee again, huh huh huh? Please please please? *She bounds off the bench on all fours, barking loudly and chasing her own tail. Roxie stares, mouth agape.* **ROXIE:** Did Jade just… bark? I thought cats *hated* fetch. **TRIP (cackling):** Oh, it's just getting started. --- ### SCENE 2: ROXIE'S FETCH FREEZE *Trip tosses the frisbee near Roxie, then sidles up with the pocket watch.* **TRIP:** Hey Roxie, wanna play a new game? Just watch the pocket watch... **ROXIE:** Does this involve treats? 'Cause I'm in! **TRIP:** Repeat after me: Every time you hear "fetch", you freeze like a statue. When someone says "tennis ball", you move again. Ready, set— *Trip dangles the watch. Roxie's eyes glaze over, tail droops.* **TRIP (snapping fingers):** Let’s test! Hey, Roxie! FETCH! *Roxie locks up mid-trot, still balancing on three legs. Bev nearly bowls her over tossing the frisbee.* **BEV:** Uh, why is Roxie doing a living sculpture now? **TRIP (innocently):** Hold on. TENNIS BALL! *Roxie stirs, jolting back to life and hugging Bev.* **ROXIE:** Whoa! Did I just black out? Did someone say fetch? *She immediately freezes again, now with Bev glued to her.* **BEV:** Okay, this feels… performance-arty. --- ### SCENE 3: BEV & EDIE'S BODY SWAP *Trip scuttles over to Bev and Edie, who are bickering over who should host tonight’s game night.* **EDIE:** Darling, everyone wants to see my one-bird show! Sorry, Bev, but bouncing on a trampoline isn't exactly drama. **BEV:** People like bouncing and snacks, Edie! Snacks are like super important! **TRIP (pocket watch out):** Let’s try a unique activity. Watch this... *They both gaze into the watch. Trip snaps his fingers.* **TRIP:** When you wake up, you'll think you’re in each other’s bodies. GO! *Bev suddenly preens dramatically, fluttering her arms in avian fashion.* **BEV (channeling Edie):** Ah, the limelight. The world is surely waiting for a most fabulous *me*! My feathers—err, shell—must glisten! *Edie meanwhile starts energetically hopping and spinning as if she’s inside Bev’s shell.* **EDIE (channeling Bev):** Time to bounce! Let’s do three flips, eat some kale, and throw confetti EVERYWHERE! *They try to mimic each other's mannerisms, hilariously failing at the other's style. Edie circles Bev as she tries to sit on a "perch", while Bev slides across the grass pretending to be a bird.* --- ### SCENE 4: QUINCY THE BRAVE *Trip finds Quincy trembling near the snack table.* **TRIP:** Quincy, buddy, time to stop hiding! Look at the watch... you’re brave, adventurous, and ready for anything until sunset. *Quincy, eyes wide, nods as Trip snaps his fingers. Instantly, Quincy's stance changes—he stands upright, chest puffed, eyes blazing with wild determination.* **QUINCY (heroic):** Forward, my friends! Let dangers tremble before Quincy Goatee! *He leaps over the table, dodges frisbees, and swings on the monkey bars. All the pets start watching in amazement.* **EDIE (still acting as Bev):** Quincy on a trapeze? This I MUST capture for my one-bird show! **BEV (still acting as Edie):** He’s a dare-goat! Bouncy! --- ### SCENE 5: THE PETS REALIZE THE PRANK *As Jade tries to dig up bones like a dog, Roxie freezes awkwardly every time Bev says "fetch", and Edie and Bev squawk and bounce in confusion. Quincy climbs the tallest slide, waving a tiny flag.* **JADE (barking):** Who’s a good kitty? I mean, good dog! Me! Yes me! *Suddenly, Bev (in Edie mode) shouts, "Nap time, everyone! Jade, it's time for a nap!" *Jade stops mid-bark, shakes her head, stretches, and slumps on top of the frisbee, back to her moody self.* **JADE:** Ugh, why do I taste grass? And why am I drooling? **EDIE (to Bev):** How do you bounce *this* much? My wings are tired already! *Trip is in the background, giggling wildly.* **BEV (to Edie):** I miss my trampoline, even though I feel pretty fabulously dramatic right now! **QUINCY (storming forward in a cape):** Trip Hamston! Prepare to be heroically tapped! No pet left un-pranked! *Quincy, though still brave, actually grabs a water balloon and hurls it at Trip. The other pets converge, starting to realize they're under his hypnotic spell.* --- ### SCENE 6: THE PETS CONFRONT TRIP *Bev and Edie grab Trip by his ears. Roxie (unfrozen since nobody said "fetch") stomps over, determination in her eyes.* **ROXIE:** Trip! Did you prank us with HYPNOSIS? **TRIP (trying to look innocent):** Pranks are just… fun! Besides, wasn’t it cool? Jade, you tried fetch! Edie, you bounced! Quincy, you conquered your fears! **JADE (sarcastic):** Yeah, nothing says fun like... accidental lawn drool. You're toast, Hamston. **EDIE:** Hypnotic injustice must be avenged dramatically! **BEV:** Wait, what if we hypnotize *Trip*? **QUINCY:** Yes! Make him our... our... pet servant! **ROXIE:** That's—actually a good idea. --- ### SCENE 7: TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY *The pets grab Trip's pocket watch. Edie attempts to hypnotize him, wing flapping theatrically. Bev bounces in rhythm, Jade flicks the shiny chain, Roxie shouts "tennis ball!" at every opportunity just in case.* **EDIE (dramatic):** You are getting sleepy... so sleepy... (to Jade) Am I doing this right? **JADE:** Just snap the fingers, birdbrain. *Bev snaps her shell. Trip blinks, nods, dazed.* **BEV:** Okay, Hamston! You’re now our loyal servant until someone says “prankster king.” *Trip instantly dons an imaginary butler’s accent.* **TRIP (bowing):** Right away, my esteemed masters. May I fluff your pillows, fetch your snacks, polish the trampoline? **ROXIE:** Trip, get me some popcorn and a tennis ball! **TRIP:** Of course, Lady McTerrier! *Trip hustles to the snack table, making exaggerated flourishes. Jade reclines with her sunglasses as Trip fans her with a leaf.* **JADE:** Not bad. Having a servant is nice. I should get hypnotized more often. **EDIE:** Behold! Presenting my new show: "Trip the Pranking Butler!" *Quincy (still brave) giggles loudly. Roxie tosses her popcorn into the air.* --- ### SCENE 8: HYPNOSIS HIJINKS *The pets begin inventing increasingly silly tasks for Trip.* **BEV:** Trip, bounce on one paw while chirping like a parakeet! **TRIP:** Chirp chirp, sirs and madams! **EDIE:** Trip, pretend you're a fainting goat and do a dramatic swoon! **TRIP (collapsing):** Alas! I swoon, for my masters demand it! *Jade yells, "Trip, write a haiku about the joys of napping!"* **TRIP:** Nap time, blissful rest Soft pillow, dreams at my feet Don’t wake me, ever --- ### SCENE 9: THE UN-HYPNOSIS *After a while, Roxie starts to have sympathy for Trip (since she's loyal and kind-hearted).* **ROXIE:** Guys, don't you think Trip’s had enough? He might start to actually enjoy being bossed around. **JADE:** The only thing worse than a rogue prankster is a *happy* prankster. **QUINCY:** I’m still brave and I say—we should let him go. But only once he apologizes! **EDIE:** Agreed! Nothing like a spotlighted, dramatic apology. *They convene around Trip (who’s dusting Bev’s trampoline).* **BEV:** Trip? We’ll let you off, if you say you’re sorry and promise not to hypnotize us again. **TRIP (robotic):** I am deeply, dramatically, sincerely sorry, my friends. Next time, my pranks will be strictly snack-related. **EDIE:** "Prankster king!" *Trip blinks, coming to, shaking his head.* **TRIP:** What was I... Huh. Was I just—bouncing and chirping? Did someone film that? **ROXIE:** You pranked us, Trip. We pranked you *back*. Fair’s fair! **TRIP (grinning sheepishly):** Okay, okay. Maybe no more hypnosis. Maybe I’ll just stick to whoopee cushions... **JADE:** Good, because if you try again, you’ll be dreaming of napping on the roof. --- ### CLOSING SCENE: ALL IS FORGIVEN *The pets gather to eat snacks and laugh. Quincy, still slightly brave, tap dances while Edie interviews him for her show. Bev bounces gleefully, Jade snoozes with a dog toy, and Roxie tosses frisbees—all happy again. Trip, forgiven, munches popcorn and grins.* **TRIP:** You know, pranking with friends is even more fun—with friends. **ROXIE:** Just remember, Trip—even a fetch-loving dog likes to keep moving. **QUINCY:** And even a fainting goat can stand tall... sometimes. **EDIE:** All's well that ends... dramatically. **BEV:** Snacks for everyone! *They cheer, the Paw-Tucket sun setting on a day of hypno-mischief and friendship.* --- **[CREDITS ROLL]** --- ### END OF EPISODE --- **Word Count: ~2,450** This episode script follows the personalities and dynamics of the gang, incorporates detailed hypnotic pranks from Trip (with all the suggested rules), gives each pet their comic moment, and ends with all friends united, justice restored (with a comedic sting), and Trip learning his lesson in classic LPS fashion.
