Midnight Snack

PANEL 1

INT. CREIGHTON WARD MANSION - LADY PENELOPE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT.

The room is completely dark. Lady Penelope and my toddler self are sitting up in the bed we share together. Lady Penelope has a sneaky expression on her face. She has a cunning plan.
LADY PENELOPE
(whispering)
Don't tell Parker, darling, but I have a brilliant idea: let's go downstairs and have a midnight snack before anyone else wakes up.

MY TODDLER SELF
(in a loud whisper)
Yay!

PANEL 2:

INT. CREIGHTON WARD MANSION - KITCHEN. NIGHT. A FEW MINUTES LATER.

It's all messy chaos in the kitchen, with the fridge and cupboards open and treats and sweets all around the room. Lady Penelope is gorging a mouthful of jellybeans, while I am nibbling innocently on a chocolate bar. Sherbet, the pug, is happily nearby drinking from a saucer of milk. The little dog is wearing dark blue pyjamas with stars and moons on it.


After a whole day out, Furaha, Orko and Optimus are feeling tired and want some rest, so they snuggle down under the soft, gentle covers of their big enough for three including an Autobot bed and have a well earned afternoon nap.

May The Sign Be With You

PANEL 1:

INT. WEDDING TENT - UNCLE RAD & FRISKY'S WEDDING. NIGHT.

Chilli and Frisky are sitting at the table, laughing and sharing a nice conversation.
CHILLI
Congratulations on your marriage, Frisky. Hey, I heard that my friend recently had a heartfelt talk with her support worker.

FRISKY
Oh really? Good thing I invited everyone.

PANEL 2:

INT. WEDDING TENT - UNCLE RAD & FRISKY'S WEDDING - CONT'D

Around Chilli and Frisky are millions of Disney characters, chatting and laughing, eating wedding cake and drinking. They include Tarzan, Kala, Terk, Tantor, Hercules, Pegasus, young Simba, young Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, Mufasa, Zazu, Lilo, Stitch, Duchess, Thomas O'Malley and Duchess' kittens, Pongo, Perdita and their puppies and Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera.
CHILLI
(shocked)
EVERYONE?!

FRISKY
Yeah, s'right. I invited all my favourite Disney characters!

Magic Cream

PANEL 1:

INT. CREIGHTON WARD MANSION - BATHROOM - EVENING.

I am relaxing in a nice, warm bubbly bath, with Lady Penelope using a soft, silky cloth to rub some magic cream on me. The bottle is a soft baby pink colour.
LADY PENELOPE
Okay, darling, time for your magic cream.

PANEL 2:

I splash Lady Penelope wildly, causing her to scream with laughter. I laugh with her too.

Narrator

PANEL 1:

INT. RAGDOLL STUDIOS. DAY.

We are off the set of Teletubbies. Tinky Winky and Dipsy are looking inside the script.
TINKY WINKY
(excitedly)
Look here, Dips! It says here in this production bible that the narrator was originally going to translate everything we said during our Teletubbyland segments.

PANEL 2:

Dipsy looks at Tinky Winky with a confused look on his face, while behind them, Noo Noo sucks up a Tubby Custard mess.
DIPSY
(confused)
Then what was Noo Noo meant for, man?

TINKY WINKY
Just to be an audience who shouts and yells at us when things don't go as planned. Oh, and laugh.

Witch's Cauldron



Lady Penelope plays a kind witch whose sister (played by me) is feeling ill and needs some tending to. She makes a sweet-tasting potion which isn't too sour and isn't too hot, but is nice enough to make me feel better.


While walking through a dry, cracked desert, Lady Penelope and I find an abandoned wooden ship and use prayers to make a miracle come true.


In a desolate part of Equestria, Fluttershy has left the Council Of Kindness to join a new council with her friends. Lady Penelope and I lead the council in her place, wanting to make the world kinder and sweeter.

Church Bells


Lady Penelope and I explore an old abandoned church and I learn from my sister about one of Jesus' teachings, how the rain rains on you whether you're good or bad.

Clara

This is Clara. She's the babysitter of Mackenzie, and sometimes she babysits Snickers and Rusty too.

Boxwars



With their parents off to join a Boxwars battle, Rusty, Snickers, Mackenzie and their babysitter Clara recreate their own Boxwars medieval battle, complete with a castle, a fort, a dungeon, a dragon and lots of sword fights!


Tiny is always annoyed by the Sparky Twins, so he makes a wish on the Evening Star to give them wheels instead of arms and legs. At once, his wish comes true, but then Tiny realises what he has done and learns it's all a dream where he learnt that there are some things in life we can't control.

Lady Penelope and I fall down a bottomless pit and end up floating in a dark void, where we encounter a liquid orb which changes shape when touched. When I touch it, the orb changes into a beautiful room with yellow walls and red furniture, which we immediately feel at home in.

Bluey, Rusty, Mackenzie and I do some messy painting in the Heeler household, which suddenly spirals into a creative, visionary consciousness world where we explore the many paths of creativity.
