Day 4: Idol with pets/animals

Characters:

SERAPHINA: A bright pink, bird-like Charmixie. She is bubbly, graceful, and loves her pink paradise.

ANIMALY: A brown cockroach with a mischievous grin and the incredible power to transform into any animal.

[SCENE START]

EXT. THE CHARMIXIE LAND - DAY

The sun is shining over a rolling landscape of hot pink grass and lavender-colored trees. Pink flowers dot the ground like stars.

SERAPHINA is hopping happily through the field, her large eyes wide with wonder. She flutters her wings, taking a small leap into the air.

SERAPHINA (Cheerfully) Oh, what a beautiful, pink-tastic day! The flowers are blooming, the air is sweet... it’s perfect!

She lands near a large pink tree. Suddenly, a rustling sound comes from behind the trunk. A pair of long, black antennae pokes out.

SERAPHINA (Tilting her head) Hello? Is there a new Charmixie friend hiding there?

ANIMALY steps out from behind the tree, adjusting his white gloves and smirking.

ANIMALY Not exactly a Charmixie, pinky! Just your pal Animaly, looking for some fun.

SERAPHINA (Giggling) Animaly! You always startle me. What are you doing in the pink meadows today?

ANIMALY I heard this place was "too pink" to handle. I thought I’d add a little... variety! Watch this!

[ACTION] Animaly spins around in a brown whirlwind. POOF! The smoke clears, and in his place stands a giant, bright pink elephant with the same tan-colored belly as Animaly.

SERAPHINA (Gasping) Oh my! An elephant! But... he’s pink! He fits right in!

ANIMALY (AS ELEPHANT) (Trumpeting loudly) I can’t help it! The magic of this place is rubbing off on me! But can an elephant do... THIS?

[ACTION] POOF! Animaly shrinks down instantly. Now, he is a tiny pink hummingbird. He zips circles around Seraphina’s head, moving so fast he’s just a pink blur.

SERAPHINA (Dizzy but laughing) Wait! Stop! You’re making my head spin!

ANIMALY (AS HUMMINGBIRD) Too fast for you, Seraphina? Okay, let’s slow it down.

[ACTION] One last POOF! Animaly returns to his original cockroach form. He lands on a flower, bouncing slightly on the petals.

ANIMALY So, what do you think? Do I get an award for "Best Animal in Charmixie Land"?

SERAPHINA (Smiling warmly) I think you get the award for the best friend, Animaly. No matter what animal you are, you’re always you!

ANIMALY (Blushing slightly under his tan skin) Yeah, yeah... don't get all mushy on me. Now, come on! I bet I can transform into a flamingo and beat you to the Glitter Stream!

SERAPHINA (Flapping her wings) You’re on!

[ACTION] Seraphina takes flight as Animaly begins to spin into his next transformation. They race off across the pink horizon as the screen fades to white.

Characters:

Animaly: A brown cockroach with the ability to transform into any animal. Friendly but cautious.

Feral Wereroach Joey: A purple and pink cockroach-wolf hybrid. Primal, hungry, and unpredictable.

[Scene Start]

(Setting: A dark, urban alleyway littered with discarded food scraps. The moon is full. Animaly is scavenging for a snack when a low, vibrating growl echoes from the shadows.)

Animaly: (Freezing in place) Uh... hello? Is there a cat back there? Because I can be a dog. I can be a very big dog!

(A pair of mismatched eyes—one red, one yellow—glow from the darkness. Feral Wereroach Joey creeps out on all fours. His tail twitches, and his fangs glisten.)

Joey: (Snarling) Grrrrr... RRR-OOO-UGH! Animaly: (Backing away) Whoa! You look like Joey, but... you’ve definitely missed a few grooming appointments. And a manicure.

(Joey lunges forward, snapping his jaws. Animaly quickly spins in a circle, disappearing in a puff of smoke.)

Animaly: Lion Mode!

(In Animaly's place now stands a small, cockroach-sized lion with a mighty mane. He lets out a tiny, high-pitched roar.)

Joey: (Tilts head, confused for a second, then hisses) Screee-hiss! (Joey doesn't care about the species; he sees prey. He pounces, pinning the "lion" down with his clawed front paws.)

Animaly: (Muffled) Okay, okay! Bad idea! Lion is too slow! Eel Mode!

(Animaly turns into a slippery eel, sliding right out from under Joey’s claws. He flops toward a puddle.)

Joey: (Barking frantically) Yip! Yap-yap-yap! (Joey chases the eel, splashing into the puddle. Animaly transforms back into his base form, sitting on a floating soda can.)

Animaly: Look, Joey—or whatever you are—I’m not a snack! I’m a fellow roach! See? Six legs... well, you have four legs and a tail now, but we’re basically cousins!

Joey: (Crouches low, snout quivering. He looks at Animaly, then at a nearby discarded pepperoni slice. He looks back at Animaly.) Whimper?

Animaly: (Relieved) Yeah. The pepperoni is much better. Trust me.

(Animaly transforms his arm into a long Elephant Trunk and tosses the pepperoni toward Joey.)

Joey: (Snaps the pepperoni out of the air and gulps it down. He wags his bushy purple tail vigorously.) Arf!

Animaly: (Sighs) You’re a handful. Maybe I should stay in Trainer Mode for a while.

(Animaly transforms into a tiny human in a safari hat. Joey licks his face with a giant, buggy tongue.)

Animaly: (Wiping his face) Gross! Definitely gross.
