Jade is curled up near the bottom, eyes half-shut, tail flicking with boredom. Roxie and Quincy sit side-by-side, Roxie munching on a cookie. Edie flutters above, wings posed dramatically.] BEV: Okay, okay, for today’s entertainment—The Great Gilturtle Hypnotic Extravaganza! EDIE (rolling eyes, feathers fluffed as she lands): Darling, I hope there will be actual drama this time. Last week’s performance was frightful—mostly to my senses. JADE (deadpan, barely raising her head): At least the screaming stopped when you left the stage. ROXIE (mouth full): This cookie is pretty dramatic, actually. In flavor! TRIP HAMSTON (enters, lugging a comically oversized book): What’s all this noise about—wait! Did someone say “hypnotic”? That’s baby stuff. I’ve been reading about REAL hypnosis. I bet I can hypnotize ANYONE here. QUINCY (eyes wide): Is it…dangerous? Do muscles get tangled? Oh dear. TRIP (grinning): Nah, Quince, it’s just mind control. Harmless, if you don’t mind minor irritations. Hehehe. EDIE (flourishing wings): Mind control? Intriguing! I performed in “The Mesmerist’s Daughter” and can assure you, my mind resists all ploys—and all lowbrow talents. BEV (sporty): I want to be hypnotized, Trip! Do I get to do something wild and unpredictable? TRIP (grins, rubbing hooves together): Oh, you’ll all do something wild—just wait. [Everyone eyes Trip suspiciously. Jade rolls further from Bev atop the cushion pile, pretending not to pay attention.] **Act 1: The Prank Begins** [Scene transition to Trip’s “Hypnotic Studio”: a blanket fort strung up with Christmas lights, lounging cushions, and a fake velvet curtain. Trip beckons each pet in turn.] TRIP (showman voice): Are you ready to experience hypnotic amazement? BEV: YES! Will I float? Will I burp rainbows?! TRIP: You’ll do stuff. Just look into…THE SPINNY THING! [He holds up a spinning top painted with swirling colors.] **Jade’s Hypnosis** [Trip turns to Jade, who approaches with skeptical coolness.] TRIP: For my first subject…Jade Catkin! You are feeling sleepy. So sleepy. Your mind is open…like a cat door. JADE (sarcastic): If this makes me a cheese sandwich, I’ll hiss. TRIP: Nah. When I snap my fingers, you’ll believe…you are a **dog**. A big, slobbery, tail-chasing pooch! [Trip snaps. Jade blinks, stretches…then sits up energetically, panting and waggling an invisible tail.] JADE (excited, bark-like voice): Whoa! Who’s a good girl? I’m a good girl! *Chases after her own tail.* EDIE (gasps): Oh, this I must put on my social media. ROXIE (cheering): Go Jade! Fetch! **Roxie’s Hypnosis** TRIP (to Roxie): Stare deep into the swirl, Roxie. Sleepy, so sleepy… ROXIE (giggly): I’m already dreaming about snacks. TRIP: When you hear the word “fetch” you’ll freeze like a statue, until someone says “tennis ball.” [Trip snaps. Roxie blinks, unfazed.] TRIP (later, slyly): Say, Bev, did you want Jade to fetch something? BEV: Sure! *To Jade* Jade, **fetch** the squeaky toy! [Instantly, Roxie—who was reaching for another cookie—freezes mid-motion. Cookie stuck awkwardly in her mouth, paws frozen.] BEV: Whoa. Spooky. EDIE: A masterful tableau—someone paint that! **Edie & Bev’s Switcheroo** TRIP: Edie, Bev! You’re up! [Edie fluffs dazzlingly, while Bev bounces excitedly.] TRIP: Edie, you’re Bev. Bev, you’re Edie. When I snap—it happens! [Trip snaps fingers. Instantly, Edie starts speaking in energetic nonsense, flipping onto her back and “swimming” on the floor.] EDIE (as Bev): Toooourtle powerrr! I love mud and nose flutes! BEV (as Edie, striking dramatic pose): Ohhh darling, observe my tragic beauty! My feathers shimmer even when I’m blue! [The switch is hilarious—Bev attempts high theatrical drama, while Edie scampers and tries to eat lettuce.] QUINCY (nervously): Am…am I next? TRIP: You bet! **Quincy’s Hypnosis** TRIP: Quincy, when hypnotized, you’ll be the bravest, most adventurous goat in the pet shop! No fainting—you’ll want to climb, jump, swing, and who knows, even sky-dive! QUINCY (quivering): Um, okay… *stares at swirl* TRIP: And SNAP! [Quincy’s posture changes. He stands up, chest out, and head high.] QUINCY (boisterous): I want to climb the tallest shelf! Race a turtle! Swing from the ceiling! Adventure!!! [Everyone is astonished except Trip, who is gleeful.] **Act 2: Mayhem in LPS World** [Scene shifts: The various hypnotized pets causing chaos in the Littlest Pet Shop world.] **Jade as a Dog** Jade bounds from one room to the next, sniffing everyone, licking faces, and barking at random objects. JADE (barking at her own reflection): Who’s that doggie?! This mirror is full of good girls! EDIE (still acting as Bev, watching): Wow, Jade—if I were a dog, I’d totally eat that weird sock under the couch. BEV (as Edie, dramatically): Jade has truly become a tragic figure. An existential crisis in fur. Roxie, meanwhile, remains frozen. Bev (as Edie) and Edie (as Bev) attempt to help her. BEV (Edie-voice): Oh darling, Roxie looks like modern art. Should I spritz her with edible glitter? EDIE (Bev-voice): Or I could jog around her with my joyring! Fun times! **Roxie, Frozen Statuesque** Edie (Bev-voice): Did anyone notice Roxie won’t move? BEV (Edie-voice): Trip said something about “fetch” and she…oh! “Tennis ball!” That’s how it works, right? [Suddenly, Roxie resumes motion, finishing her cookie.] ROXIE: Why do I taste half a cookie and half…lint? **Edie and Bev Switcheroo** Edie, in Bev’s personality, finds herself incapable of sitting still. She races around, bumping into furniture, shouting random catchphrases. EDIE (as Bev): Wahooo! Extreme parakeeting! Who wants to try the slip-n-slide with me?! BEV (as Edie, speaking to an audience of plushies): “Tragedy! Woe! What is the meaning of this disorderly world?” Jade (dog-voice, rough): You two sound weird. Who wants to chase rubber chickens?! (starts chasing her tail again) **Quincy’s Newfound Courage** QUINCY (scaling the highest shelf): I can see the WHOLE PET SHOP! This is amazing! I am not fainting—I am LIVING! BEV (Edie-voice): You’ve got this, Quince! Next stop: Mars! QUINCY: Maybe next week. I’ll start with the hamster wheel. [All the pets are bewildered, some laughing, some worried.] **Trip’s Gloating** Trip strolls around, camera in hoof, taking snapshots of the chaos. TRIP: This is classic! Jade thinks she’s a dog, Quincy’s a daredevil, Edie and Bev are…confused, and Roxie’s a living statue half the time. Best prank ever! [He edits a meme to send to his “Prankster’s Chat” group.] **Act 3: The Downside of Mischief** [Gradually, the pranks start causing more trouble than fun.] **Jade in Trouble** JADE (dog-mode, digging at the carpet): Must bury bone. (Finds Roxie’s slipper, buries it in a houseplant.) ROXIE: Hey! My slipper! JADE (wagging tail, drools): Sorry, Master Roxie. Woof! ROXIE (unfreezing again): Wait—am I your master now? Huh? **Bev and Edie’s Switch Gets Messy** Bev-Edie (reciting lines from “Feathers of Regret”): “Oh, poor soul, I am but a turtle in a world unsuited for my art!” Edie-Bev (clearly enjoying): Who wants to breakdance with me? *starts spinning on her back.* BEV (Edie-voice): I can’t reach my shell and my dreams are fading! EDIE (Bev-voice): This shell is so smooth! Edie, when did you wax it? **Quincy Nearly Faints from Adventure** QUINCY (groaning from atop a hanging lampshade): Adventure is…exhausting. Maybe I was meant to faint. TRIP: Not until you’ve skydived from the top bunk, Quince! QUINCY: Wait, what? ROXIE: “Fetch!” Oh, no— *freezes again while fetching Jade’s buried slipper.* Jade as a dog hops around Roxie until someone shouts “tennis ball!” Roxie finally resumes movement, a bit frazzled. ROXIE: Okay, this is getting weird even for me. JADE (panting): Squirrel?! (leaps for an imaginary squirrel, landing in a pile of plushies) **Edie (as Bev) attempts an “Olympic jump” and lands in Bev’s shell. Bev (as Edie) gives a tragic monologue to a crowd of dustballs.** BEV (as Edie): “Why am I not in the pond of my soul, but the desert of my shell?!” EDIE (as Bev): Is this what being a turtle feels like? Lonely…scaly…(finds a lettuce leaf) Actually, this is pretty tasty. **Collective Frustration Grows** Roxie, Jade, Edie, Bev, and Quincy gather, realizing they’re all acting very strangely. ROXIE: This is not fun anymore! Trip, fix us! QUINCY (still in adventurer-mode): I don’t want to jump off anything else for a while! Jade (dog-mode, whines): Can someone scratch my belly? I can’t get comfortable. BEV (Edie-voice): I want my shell back! EDIE (Bev-voice): I want my wings back! And my drama! TRIP (teasing): Why should I undo it? You all look hilarious! ROXIE: Not cool, Trip. You should know how pranks feel—especially when they go too far. JADE (dog-mode, sidelong): If you don’t fix this, I’ll chew your slippers. And your book. TRIP (gulp): Uh…let me see. I only remember how to start hypnosis, not end it… **Act 4: Pets Plan Their Comeuppance** [Pets plot to turn tables on Trip.] ROXIE: Maybe if we pretend we’re still hypnotized, we can trick Trip into un-hypnotizing us. JADE: (dog-mode) It’s risky. Dogs are good at risky things, right? BEV (as Edie): Yes, darling, let us stage the greatest reversal in pet shop history. EDIE (as Bev): With action, not drama! Bev and Edie agree to coordinate—Edie will act as Bev, Bev as Edie, but with extra exaggeration to lure Trip’s attention. QUINCY (not fainting, adventurous): I’ll distract Trip with a wild stunt! ROXIE: Good plan! “Fetch!”— *freezes again mid-plan.* Jade barks to distract Trip, as Quincy prepares a “sky dive” using a pillow and rubber bands, while Bev and Edie prepare an on-stage performance. **Trip’s “Undoing Show”** Trip, thinking the pets are still hypnotized, prepares a “Hypnosis Showcase,” inviting all other pets to watch. TRIP: And now, for my finale—watch as each pet does their new trick! Edie (as Bev) leads with a clumsy tap-dance, pretending to be scared of her own wings. Bev (as Edie) declaims lines from “Hamlet” in turtle-speak, drawing laughter. Jade fakes running to fetch but instead sits, raising a paw as if to “beg”—classic dog show. Quincy, emboldened, leaps from a small stack of books, shouting “I am the wind!” Roxie, mid-freeze, snatches a cheese treat the moment someone yells “tennis ball.” TRIP: Uh…guys? Are you…faking this? Roxie breaks character. ROXIE: That’s right, Trip! We pretended! Now YOU are going to get a taste of your own hypnotic medicine! QUINCY (smiles, mischievous): You’re up, Trip! See how it feels! The pets surround Trip, all chanting “Sleepy, sleepy Trip…” TRIP: Wait, what? No, I—(yawns)—I’m not tired…(blinks) Wait, why am I talking like Roxie? “Let’s play fetch!” Uh-oh! Trip starts jiving and chasing his own tail, bleating “Woof! Woof!” EDIE (back to herself): At last, the world is perfect. Justice served—drama unfolded. BEV (slipping out of Edie-mode): And I’ve got my shell back! Shell yeah! DALE SHEEP (Trip’s friend, sheepishly enters): Trip—did you hypnotize yourself? TRIP (barking): I did, didn’t I? Oops. Jade (no longer dog-mode): Satisfying, isn’t it? Roxie: Group hug! **Epilogue: Harmony Restored** [Trip is “un-hypnotized” after the pets learn how to reverse with help from Bev’s book “You’re Getting Sleepy: Hypnosis for Dummies.” All return to normal.] TRIP: Okay, okay, lesson learned. Hypnosis pranks = chaos. Next time, I’ll just stick to fart cushions. JADE: I'd rather you didn’t. ROXIE: You’re still our friend, Trip. Just…maybe use your powers for good next time. QUINCY: I liked being brave! Until the lampshade incident. EDIE: I expect more drama—preferably onstage, not on the ceiling! BEV: Who wants to try juggling? No hypnosis, promise! [Everyone laughs, the pet shop restored to normal hijinks and harmony.] **Closing Shot: The pets pile onto the cushion tower together, giggling and talking as Jade snuggles up for a nap. Roxie brings cookies, Edie preps for a solo, Quincy tap-dances, Bev shows off a new trick, and Trip smiles sheepishly. All is well in LPS World again.** **END**
