**Whisker Wizardry: The Hypno Prank Capers**

Response: **Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own** **Episode Title: "Trip-nosis Pranks!"** **Episode Length: Detailed 11-min Cartoon Script (~2400 words)** --- **OPENING SCENE: PET STREET SQUARE, DAY** The camera pans over the bustling world of Paw-Tucket, zooming in on Roxie, Bev, Jade, Edie, Quincy, and Trip gathered near the smoothie kiosk. Bev is bouncing on her shell, excited about "Super Silly Saturday." Edie adjusts a shiny scarf. Jade yawns, a little bored; Roxie's nose twitches, anticipating her next treat. **ROXIE (cheerful, eager)** Isn’t today supposed to be the silliest day of the whole week? **BEV (incredibly bouncy)** Only if we LET it be! I brought the Unbelievaball—world’s wackiest bouncy toy AND seven kinds of hats. Feast your eyes! Bev pulls out a rainbow bag from her shell, spilling hats everywhere—Viking helmets, bowler hats, and an actual fruit hat. **EDIE (dramatic, inspecting hats)** Not enough feathers! If I’m going to be silly, I demand Drama. **TRIP HAMSTON (grinning mischievously)** You want dramatic? What about mind-blowing? He wiggles his eyebrows, revealing a glittery, spiral-patterned pocket watch from behind his back. **JADE (deadpan, arms crossed)** Let me guess, Trip. You’re starting a weird clock club now? **TRIP** No, no, no! This is a genuine, hypnotic, ham-tacular prank device. I call it… the Swirlinator 3000! **BEV** Does it come in turtle-size? Or turtle-safe? **QUINCY (nervous, peeking behind Trip)** Uh, is this prank…safe? Remember last time, Trip, with the salsa-dancing bananas? Quincy’s legs wobble. Trip grins wider, and Roxie’s tail wags in anticipation. **TRIP** 100% safe! With Trip Hamston as your hypnotist, you’re in *great* hooves. Watch: I’ll show you—no actual brains scrambled. **He swings the Swirlinator in front of the group.** **TRIP (hypnotist voice)** Dizzily swirling, winding round, hypnotic powers now abound! Who volunteers to experience the silliness? Jade scoffs, dismissive. **JADE** I volunteer to *not* care. I’ll watch you all make fools of yourselves from the comfort of my nap zone. Roxie jumps up, tail high. **ROXIE** Ooh, ooh! I’ll go first! What d’you want me to do, Trip? **TRIP** Just stare at the spiral, Roxie… stare at the Swirlinator… you feel sleepy… *so* sleepy… You’ll obey my command whenever you hear the word "*fetch*." You’ll freeze like a statue! And when you hear "*tennis ball*" you’ll be back to your usual furry self. **ROXIE (eyes swirling, monotone)** Freeze at "fetch." Back to normal at "tennis ball." Sounds… fun? **TRIP** You won’t remember any of this, either—no worries! The group giggles. Roxie blinks, unaware. Trip grins, then turns to Jade. **TRIP** Now for my next act, the incredible Jade Catkin. Ready to nap as someone *else* for a day? **JADE (rolls her eyes)** If you turn me into a cloud or a fruit hat, I’m not responsible for my actions. **TRIP** No clouds, no hats. I’ll just hypnotize you to believe you’re a dog. A snuggly, fun-loving, *actual* canine. **JADE** Fine. I’m so bored, I might actually enjoy this. Trip swirls the Swirlinator. Jade’s eyes glaze. **TRIP (soft voice)** You’re not a cat—you’re a dog! You love fetch and belly rubs and tail wags! **JADE (dreamy)** Woof…? Wait. No. Woof. She shakes her head and sits suspiciously, starting to pant. **TRIP** Now, for a real twist—Edie and Bev, you’re switching places! Edie, you’re Bev. Bev, you’re Edie. When you wake up, you’ll act and think like each other! Trip swirls again. Both Edie and Bev gaze deeply into the spiral. **BEV (suddenly posh)** Diamonds, drama, the stage awaits me! **EDIE (energetic, wild)** Activities! Shell jumps! Turtle spins! Who wants to roll? The group howls with laughter. Quincy trembles as Trip approaches. **TRIP** And my best buddy, Quincy… today, you’re feeling like the bravest goat in Paw-Tucket. Every challenge, every adventure, you’ll want to leap right in! Quincy’s pupils widen at the spiral, then he stands tall, chest puffed out. **QUINCY** Danger? Adventure? Bring it on! Trip snaps his hoof. The group “resets.” **TRIP** Prank mode, *activated*! --- **SCENE TWO: PAW-TUCKET PARK** Roxie, Jade, “Bev” (Edie), “Edie” (Bev), Quincy, and Trip stroll. Jade sniffs at a hydrant, tail swishing side to side, shockingly enthusiastic. **BEV-AS-EDIE (fancy accent)** Oh my darlings, paws off my shell! It’s custom-polished, and I must maintain… mystical turtle allure. She tries to pirouette, wobbling awkwardly. **EDIE-AS-BEV (bouncy, loud)** SHELL-DROP—WHOO! Watch me go full bounce mode! She tucks in wings and launches herself off a bench. **ROXIE** Who wants to play… *fetch*? Roxie instantly freezes mid-bounce, one eye half-closed, paw stuck mid-air, tongue flopping. **JADE-AS-DOG (woofing, tail wagging)** Did someone say *fetch*?! I LOVE fetch! Where’s the tennis ball? WHERE’S THE TENNIS BALL? Trip snickers, throwing a stick. **JADE-AS-DOG** STICK! Must fetch stick! She zooms around barking, startling Edie, while Bev-as-Edie huffs. Quincy watches, exhilarated—no fainting. **QUINCY (brave, shouting)** I call dibs on jumping over the hedge maze! Watch me, Trip! He aims for an elaborate leap, trips, then recovers, dashing onwards—no faint. Bev-as-Edie frowns, struggling to spin on her shell. **BEV-AS-EDIE** Is this strenuous *athleticism* truly necessary? I must conserve my plumage! She glances at her “wings,” disdainful. **EDIE-AS-BEV** Plumage, schlumage! Wanna race down the slide? First one to the bottom shells out! She tries to roll toward the playground, veering too far and tumbling—turtle style! Jade-as-dog leaps around, tongue lolling, nearly knocking into Bev-as-Edie. Trip winks, enjoying the chaos. --- **SCENE THREE: PAW-TUCKET RESTAURANT PATIO** The pets gather for lunch at the Milkbone Muffin Café (famous for pet treats). Roxie is still frozen in time, one paw reaching for a menu that Trip cruelly places just outside her reach. **TRIP (whispering)** Hey, Jade—hey, doggy! Want a treat? **JADE-AS-DOG (ecstatic)** Treat?! YES! Do you have bacon? Or… tennis balls? **TRIP** I think I can find a *tennis ball* for you... Jade shakes off, suddenly returning to herself—face in paw. **JADE (mortified, annoyed)** Ugh, what was I… was I *licking* Trip’s arm? No. No, no, no! Trip cracks up. Roxie blinks in confusion. **ROXIE** Did I zone out? Why is everyone laughing? Trip goes for round two. **TRIP (aloud, mischievous)** Hey, everyone! Who wants to play *fetch* after lunch? Roxie freezes mid-bite, a muffin halfway in her mouth for comical effect. Bev-as-Edie, queenly, raises a napkin: **BEV-AS-EDIE** I prefer high tea with the queen, not athletic pursuits. Edie-as-Bev tosses muffins like a frisbee. Quincy dashes under tables. **QUINCY (adventurous)** Watch me, Trip! I’m climbing this umbrella stand! For glory! He shimmies up, then fearlessly parades across umbrella tops. Jade grumbles, flicking muffin crumbs off her fur. **JADE** Roxie’s glitched. Trip, are you doing some hammy mischief again? Trip feigns innocence, tipping his sunglasses. --- **SCENE FOUR: PAW-TUCKET THEATER** Edie (still acting as Bev) swings from stage lighting, improvising “shell leaps.” Bev (stuck as Edie) mourns the lack of turtle-friendly drama. **EDIE-AS-BEV (bounding)** TA-DA! Turtle triple spin! Watch—ohh, shell stuck! She rolls off the edge accidentally. **BEV-AS-EDIE (dramatic wail)** Oh, my fans! Where art thou? Why am I encased in this… turtle-shaped cocoon? She attempts a tragic Shakespeare soliloquy: **BEV-AS-EDIE (faux British)** “To shell, or not to shell, that is the question! Shall I bound, or shall I weep?” *sighs deeply* Jade snickers from the wings, pawing a tennis ball. Trip shouts from the seats. **TRIP** Jade, fetch me a snack? Roxie, backstage, freezes in the oddest pose—suspended in air between two trampolines. **JADE-AS-DOG (overjoyed)** On it, boss! Snack time, snack time, much snack! She paws at a bag of cheese puffs, brings them like a proud hound. Suddenly, Trip throws a tennis ball. **JADE** Wait—what? No. Cheese puffs are for *cats*, not chasing. Why does my mouth taste like sand? She glares at Trip, who is on the brink of laughter. Edie-as-Bev bounds on stage, while Bev-as-Edie sulks in corner, fluttering arms. **QUINCY (intrepid)** Watch this, everyone! I’ll jump from the lighting booth to center stage! Who’s with me? He leaps—landings surprisingly agile. Trip mouths “what did I *create*?” --- **SCENE FIVE: PAW-TUCKET STREET FESTIVAL** Paw-Tucket is hosting an outdoor festival. Trip leads Quincy and Jade-as-dog through stalls of strange foods—pickled carrots, moon-cheese, and honey-mud pies. Roxie is frozen, a tail stuck in a popcorn machine. **TRIP** Jade, go fetch the jar of pickled carrots! **JADE-AS-DOG (sprinting)** Pickled carrots, coming right up! *woof woof!* She barrels through the crowd, tail high, causing mild chaos and a toppled lemonade stand. Quincy—completely unafraid—hops on a parade float, joining dancers unprompted. **QUINCY** I’m a *dancing* goat! Let’s see me… moonwalk! Edie-as-Bev shouts enthusiastically. **EDIE-AS-BEV** Dance party at the shell shack! First one to spin wins! Bev-as-Edie, covered in confetti, despairs greatly. **BEV-AS-EDIE (wistful, clutching a feather boa)** Oh, the indignity. Where is my spotlight? Jade returns with the jar, panting gleefully. **JADE-AS-DOG** Carrots secured! Can I chase the parade now? Or squirrel patrol? Trip throws a tennis ball on stage. **JADE (reverts to cat, swats tennis ball aside)** Seriously? That ball again? Did I just drool? *I* do not drool. Trip is near tears of joy—his prank chaos fully blooming. Roxie thaws when someone says “tennis ball” offscreen, lands in a pile of popcorn. **ROXIE** I blacked out again! What's going on?! Why do I have popcorn in my ears? Jade swats a kernel into Bev-as-Edie’s feather boa. Edie-as-Bev performs a shell bounce. --- **SCENE SIX: PAW-TUCKET SQUARE – AFTER FESTIVAL** The pets regroup, bedraggled but giggling. Trip is in a fit of giggles, rolling on his back. **TRIP** Best *Super Silly Saturday* EVER! Admit it—hypno-pranks are next-level. Jade glares, but, deep down, smiles. **JADE** You owe me a nap, Trip. I spent half the day chasing sticks for you. Next week, you’re *my* pet. **ROXIE** Was I frozen again? I feel… weirdly bendy. Bev and Edie look at each other, flummoxed. **BEV** I feel… dramatically tired. **EDIE** I feel… bounce-lost. Couldn’t shell-spin *once*! Quincy steps forward, proud. **QUINCY** I did three adventures today! Without fainting! Can we do rock climbing next week, Trip? Trip rubs his shoulder, winded. **TRIP** Quincy! You *out-goated* yourself! You’re the bravest goat in town. The pets murmur, giggle. Bev as Edie and Edie as Bev hug awkwardly. **JADE** Please, Trip, *undo* the swap. I don’t want to be barky-dog again. **EDIE** I demand my drama, not bounce! I want feathers! I want fans! Get me outta Bev-girl! **BEV** I miss shell rolling! Also, Edie’s voice hurts my ears. Trip sheepishly pulls out his Swirlinator. **TRIP** Alright, “de-Hypno Prank” time. Everybody stare at the swirly thing... He swings the spiral, recites: **TRIP (rhythmic)** Swirl and spin, chaos out! Bring my silly friends about! Un-dog Jade, re-dramatize Edie, re-energize Bev, give Quincy normal faintiness… bring back my Roxie, undeterred by “fetch!” He snaps his hoof. The spell wanes—the pets blink, slowly returning to themselves. Roxie immediately chows down on a treat, Jade curls for a nap, Edie flips her scarf, Bev shell-spins, and Quincy faints at a loud balloon pop. Trip grins, satisfied. **ROXIE** Silliest day ever? Yes. But next time, Trip, warn me before freezing my face. **BEV** Or swapping my *turtle* talents with Edie’s awkward twirls. **EDIE** And I refuse *shell duty* unless there’s a spotlight. **JADE (smiling slyly)** Truce, Trip. But if you ever hypnotize me again, you’ll wake up thinking you’re a hairless rat. They laugh. Quincy groans, weakly. **QUINCY** No more adventures today, Trip. Let’s watch you faint at my tap show instead. The pets hug, the Paw-Tucket sun shining on their restored friendships. --- **EPILOGUE MONTAGE:** *Trip epic fails at being hypnotized by his own spiral,* *Jade naps contently atop a pile of tennis balls,* *Roxie wins the Paw-Tucket “Unfrozen Fun Award” for unzoning herself,* *Bev and Edie host a drama-and-shell-bounce competition,* *Quincy tap dances while Trip imagines his next zany prank.* --- **END CREDITS ROLL: Upbeat Littlest Pet Shop theme plays as the pets chase Trip—a single tennis ball bouncing comically ahead.** --- **[END OF EPISODE]**
