ME: Alright, Six, you freeze Dr. F because she's mean on one hand, but kind on the other.
BLUEY: You don't think we'll be in trouble for this, will we?
LUELLA: It'll be, like, fine. Go ahead, Six!
[Six hits a note on the magic xylophone, and Dr. F freezes in her tracks just as she is about to leave her basement lab]
ALL OF US: Yeah!/Alright!/We did it!
ME: Now, let's give her a makeover she didn't realize she had!
[We doodle glasses and a moustache on her face, put a smile on her face, close her left eye to make it look like she's winking and stuff her arms full of toys. We stand back to admire our work, then I have a turn on the xylophone.]
ME: Alright. Ready?
MY SIBLINGS: Yep!/Okay!/Right!
ME: 3! 2! 1!
[I hit the xylophone, and Dr. F unfreezes. She throws the stuffed toys in the air and growls at us, as we scream with laughter]
ME: You never thought we'd give you a makeover just like they do on TV, right?!
DR. F: AAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!!
[Dr. F chases us out of her lab and into the living room. We race past Aunt Trixie, who spins as we race past, and narrowly avoid Niles. We race upstairs into our room, spin round and pin Dr. F to the floor, tickling her. She laughs maniacally.]
DR. F: No! Stop! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!! Six, what are you doing?! Get off me!
LUKE: Best prank EVER!!!
[Niles, Aunt Trixie, Uncle Stripe, Chilli and Bandit enter and see Dr. F being playfully tortured by me and my siblings]
BANDIT: Well, you can't beat a mad scientist playing with kids like mine. Wait, WHAT?!
CHILLI: Don't get over-exaggerated, Bandit. In fact, she's actually enjoying it.
BANDIT: Yeah. Right.
AUNT TRIXIE: She'll get used to the fact she has a softer side. After all, she's one of the family!
