Music Phases of Grief Chapter 2 - Fall Apart At Common Place
[Fade to the interior of Chilboās Room/Room 415-40 without the light at night as his bed, Chilbo wearing reading glasses and black lab coat, he looks at a computer monitor which a tiny blue flying camera in it as points of view to look Dribbal while it is behind him.]
Chilbo: (quietly) Dribbal, youāre not safe in the abandoned district by yourself. (Holds his phone as taps Mixelbook, then message chat of Gurggle, and texts it and taps it to send. Notification sounds out, sighs.) You're right, Gurggle. Maybe you and Slusho are going to him. (Taps it as texting says: ) Okay then, but Iām with you with my flying camera, okay? (Send it in 10 seconds and then the notification sounds out, start happily as tapping it on his phone as text says.) Thanks, Gurggle!
[Cut to Chilboās phone as chat of Chilbo and Gurggle on a screen. A message from Gurggle says: āNessun problema, Chilbo.ā Cut back to Chilbo jumping up in glee.]
Chilbo: Yes! Ha-ha!
Snoof: (offscreen) Chilbo? Why are you so happy?!
Chilbo: Looks like someone accepted to go and follow Dribbal! With me!
Krog: (offscreen) Who?
Chilbo: His brothers, guys.
[Cut to Snoof and Krog pop out on the door of Chilboās Room/Room 415-40, theyāre surprised and walk to Chilbo as they still rock outfits.]
Snoof: His brothers with you, Chilbo?
[Cut back to Chilbo nods and hums, then he points at the monitor.]
Chilbo: I made my flying camera to follow him. As he never thinks I was here as I follow him.Ā
Snoof: But if you speak to him while you control your invention?
Chilbo: I am practicing my voice impressions with it. (Clear throats, in an English accent.) Hello, little one. My name is Lis-Ten, Iām your district traveler. (In no accent.) I called my invention Lis-Ten. Because of the different pronunciation of that word.Ā
Krog: That sounds probably work.
Snoof: Okay then. I and Krog are gonna practice the song while you don't mind it whenever you're practicing or not by watching him.
Chilbo: Yeah, sure.
[Snoof and Krog walk off the room as Snoof closes the door. Chilbo goes back to watch Dribbal on the monitor, smiles as creepy grins while laughing crazily.]
[Cut to the night as pans around to an abandoned district where dull-toned colors building as it all broken, lots of graffiti, trash on the ground, and anything messy, pans to Dribbal who continues walking while he looks around as he is feeling nervous while he hearing a sounds]
Dribbal: (quietly, nervously) Okay, I knew it was someone stalking me while I was alone. (Metallic crash sounds which make him scream and turn around to a trash can falls as living computer mice run away as they come out of the trash can, sighing in relief.) Just mice. (Laughing nervously, then laughing crazily, then stopping as sighs.) I just love a mouse with a mix of Mixamal and Computer! That was a visual pun!
Offscreen Voice: (in tenor robotic voice with English accent) Are you lost, little one?
Dribbal: (yells) Who there?!
Offscreen Voice: Right behind you.
[Dribbal starts with surprises as turn around slowly to a flying blue camera, screams and stays back.]
Flying Blue Camera: Don't worry, little one. Iām not gonna hurt you.
Dribbal: Are you stalking me?
Flying Blue Camera: What? No, I just following youĀ
Dribbal: (suspiciously) Rightā¦
Flying Blue Camera: Don't be so suspicious of me. Where's my manners? My name's Lis-Ten, Iām your district traveler. And whatās your name, little one?
Dribbal: My name is Dribbal Thriller.
Lis-Ten: Wow! That's meaningful names!
Dribbal: Yeah, I heard that before.
Lis-Ten: You mean, the one who said it before met me?
Dribbal: Yes. It was a train conductor.
Lis-Ten: Oh, okay then. Why are you here in an abandoned district? Itās too dangerous by yourself.
Dribbal: I just ran away from everyone else and my grief.
Lis-Ten: Your grief?
Dribbal: I felt grief that my brothers and friends got upset by rivals who challenged them, even me. I tried to make them better, but I failed at trying my best! (Covering his face to make a muffled groaning.) I'm sick of it!
Lis-Ten: Hey! Don't beat yourself up! Perhaps you try to tell them to do your best.
Dribbal: (angrily) No! Doesn't it work either! I've been practicing it to work, but it's just failing! Oh! I'm just trying to do my best for them! (Walking angrily while Lis-Ten flying at him.) Hey! Leave me alone!
Lis-Ten: Why are you careless to others?
Dribbal: I am thinking about themā¦ They used me and treated me! As I never trust them!
Lis-Ten: Wow! Youāre so self-absorbed!
Dribbal: (nods) Yeah! I really know Iām a self-centered Mixel as they called me! (Angrily.) I'm REALLY annoyed by some Mixel who are narcissistic, egotistical, greedy, anti-social, bratty, and careless of others as they care more about themselves, even my friends!
Lis-Ten: You mean, egotistical outside but good heart inside.
Dribbal: Yes. I don't care about them, but Iām really worried about someone getting hurt by themselves like self-harm! I just wanted them to tell the truth about the painful problem of self.
Lis-Ten: Just like your brothers and friends of Series 6.
Dribbal: That's right. (Paused.) Wait! Do you know them?!
Lis-Ten: Yes, I'm a district traveler as I know everyone with my information as research.
Dribbal: Hey! Same to me!
Lis-Ten: Ohā¦ (Nervously.) I justā¦ Oh!
Dribbal: Are you okay?
Lis-Ten: That reminds me of you and your friend who has the same personality as you.
Dribbal: (lightly gasps) Chilboā¦
Lis-Ten: That's right, little one. He built me at 12 years-old, he just wanted me to find you but I can't see until when heās 16 as you.
Dribbal: (sadly) Oh dear. I feel sorry for him. He was heartbroken after being betrayed by his former friends after I beat him at night when he and I were 12.
Lis-Ten: Yeahā¦ That's why he never breaks any promise and always be honest to you and his family as heās really loyal to Main Mixels.
Dribbal: (nods and hums) Exactly! So what's the name of an abandoned district?
Lis-Ten: Common-Place District.
Dribbal: Wow! That's meaningful!
Lis-Ten: Exactly! (Realized, cleat throats awkwardly.) Don't even think of it between you and Chilbo for me!
Dribbal: Are you okay?
Lis-Ten: Just continue forward as you lead it.
Dribbal: (hiding suspiciously) Okayā¦ Got it! (Lis-Ten flying away, then showing up suspiciously, thinking.) His name was Lis-Ten, huh? There's a difference in pronunciation of the word ālistenā? Thatās odd. I thinks Chilbo is listening to me when heās controlled a flying camera.
Lis-Ten: (offscreen) Dribbal! Are you coming?!
Dribbal: (speaking out) Yeah, Iām coming! (Runs to Lis-Ten and then walks together, thinking.) I hope I was right about thatā¦
Lis-Ten: Why are you waiting? Something's wrong?
Dribbal: (trying to hide nervously, quietly) No, no! Nothingās wrong about that, okay?
Lis-Ten: (suspiciously) Are you sure?
Dribbal: (frustrating) Don't be suspicious of me! I know you're doing it!
Lis-Ten: Okay, okay! I stopped it! Geez! You're in stage 2 of grief!
Dribbal: (still frustrating) I know that! It's anger, the 2nd stage of grief!
Lis-Ten: Very soon, youāll get stage 3. And calm down yourself.
Dribbal: (takes deep breath, sadly) Thanksā¦ Sorry about that.
Lis-Ten: Itās okay, I know what is happening to you.
[While Dribbal and Lis-Ten walking around at Common-Place District, pans up to Gurggle and Slusho on the rooftop of the building as they're still rock outfits as they look at Dribbal and Lis-Ten. Gurggle holds up his phone to text it, then notification sounds out which makes Gurggle and Slusho happy.]
Gurggle: It looks like weāre getting ready for this tomorrow!
Slusho: You said it!
[Cut back to Dribbal and Lis-Ten continue forward while Dribbal feels barely angry and holds up a picture of 3 silhouette Mixels.]
Dribbal: (murmuring in anger) Theyāll pay for what they did to my brothers and friendsā¦!
Lis-Ten: Okay, Dribbal! That's enough!
Dribbal: (frustrating) I know! (Take a deep breath.) Iām still in stage 2!
Lis-Ten: Why don't you feel like it's an insult to you as you don't feel it?
Dribbal: Someone who really cared about me. Whoever never betrayed me, whoever has to be promised. They are my late friendsā¦ Even my grandmother.
Lis-Ten: Oh dear. Sorry about that.
Dribbal: No problem. I feel nonchalant at allā¦
Lis-Ten: Sounds like you are lying to yourself.
Dribbal: Yup, Iām self-deception. I am always honest to others, but I lied to myself.
Lis-Ten: I seeā¦ Why are you doing that?
Dribbal: (nervously) Iā¦ Iā¦ (Looks at his hands, he shakes himself and cries.) I'm never talking about that! (Runs away while sobbing.)
Lis-Ten: Dribbal, wait! (Flying away to follow Dribbal.)
[Cut to Gurggle and Slusho running and jumping on the buildings while looking at Dribbal and Lis-Ten.]
Gurggle: (holds up his phone as speaks it through) Chilbo! What's happening?!
Chilbo: (from Gurggleās phone as speaks through) He doesn't like to tell the truth about himself!
Gurggle: Why?!
Chilbo: (from Gurggleās phone as speaks through) I don't know! Guys, you make Dribbal with any direction!
Gurggle: Like signs?
Slusho: Or like a trustworthy flying helper?
Chilbo: (from Gurggleās phone as speaks through) Uhā¦yes. But don't put him in any danger!
Gurggle: A-okay then! (To Slusho) Slusho! You're doing it like you said!
Slusho: Okay! (Flies away, but Gurggle holds his tail to stop.) Huh?
Gurggle: But you need a disguise first!
Slusho: Oh, right! Alsoā¦ (Irritated.) Can you take off my tail, please?!
Gurggle: Donāt make-a mistakes. (Takes off Slushoās tail and flies away.)
[Cut back to continue the chase of Dribbal and Lis-Ten, then cut to Gurggle hiding in an alleyway while heās holding the signs and looking at them. Gurggle holds up and places it as a sign of Turn Left which Dribbal follows the directions by the signs as Gurggle runs and hides from them while he places the signs at anyplace which make Dribbal keep following the signs. Cut to Slusho flying in the sky and looking below at Dribbal, Gurggle, and Lis-Ten. Then he flying into abandoned clothes shop which Gurggle places a sign of points at clothes shop as Dribbal enters it and Lis-Ten passed it.]
[Cut to interior of abandoned clothes shop, Dribbal breathes and then sighs in relief while he still has tears on his eyes.]
Dribbal: (quietly) That's so close. (Stands up and walks.) Woahā¦ This is so interesting. (Holds his phone to turn on the flashlight as it shines around the interior.) Theyāll never find me there.
Slusho: (offscreen, in middle voice, quietly) Are you sure they'll never find you in that store?
Dribbal: (surprised, whispers) There's a stranger in there. They sound likeā¦ Slushoā¦ with his different voice. (Speaking quietly.) Hello?
[Cut to Slusho fly slowly coming out from shadows, he is wearing goggles to show glowing green digital eyes, glowing green antenna headband, and still wearing rock boots. Dribbal looking at Slusho cautiously.]
Slusho: (calmly) Don't be afraid, sir.
Dribbal: (looks at Slushoās boots, then back looks at him, fake calmly and tries hiding suspicious) Who are you?
Slusho: My nameās Skyle.Ā
Dribbal: (cautiously) Oh.
Slusho: (as Skyle) You know really what my name is?
Dribbal: (nods in cautiously, with a deep voice that almost sounds like Jinky) A name of style and sky in combination is almost like my own name.
Slusho: What's your name, sir?
Dribbal: (normal voice, calmly) Dribbal. My name is Dribbal Thriller.
Slusho: Nice. What's your middle name?
Dribbal: Sorry, my middle name is a secret.
Slusho: Oh. What's the meaning of your name?
Dribbal: My name was misspelled by dribble, but I think of itā¦ Name of dribble and ball. Because dribble has double meanings! The one is falling slowly in drops or a thin stream by a liquid for my tribe! (Whispering.) I never mentioned I allowed saliva to run from the mouth when I got a name while I chewed my toy ball when I was a baby. (Speaking out.) And the other one is an act or instance of taking the ball forward with repeated slight touches or bounces!
Slusho: (surprised) Wow!Ā
Dribbal: My best friend Chilbo, his name has a double meaning too!
Slusho: Oh! I know him!
Dribbal: (fake surprising) Really?Ā
Slusho: Heā¦ wasā¦ uhā¦ Oh! Oh! Heās my old friend!
Dribbal: (fake confusing) Okay then? (Amazed.) Chilboās name is misspelled by chill! The one is calm for his personality and the other one is an element for his tribe!
Slusho: I liked that!
Dribbal: Anyways, how long are you in there? Be honest.
[Cut back to Slusho starts sweating and shaking in fear while Dribbal looks at him suspiciously.]
Slusho: (nervously) Wellā¦ Iā¦ Uhā¦
Dribbal: Wellā¦ Forget it!
Slusho: (surprised) Huh?!
Dribbal: Just forgot a question.Ā
Slusho: Okay then.
Dribbal: Anyway, I need to go. (Walks away.)
[Cut to close-up Dribbal while Slusho is in the distance behind him.]
Slusho: Uh, why?
[Dribbal stops walking and slowly holds up his phone, he presses it.]
Dribbal: Becauseā¦ (Shouting.) SOMEONE FOLLOWING ME!
[High-pitched noises from outside which cause Slusho to get painful and screaming, Dribbal runs away and closes the door. Cut to outside, Dribbal pushes broken drawers to block the door and then runs away.]
[Cuts to Gurggle covers his ears while runs out of alleyway.]
Gurggle: (agonizing) Whatā¦ wasā¦ THATā¦ NOISE?! (Screams in agony.)
Chilbo: (from Gurggleās phone as speaks through, whining in pain) Dribbal activated a noise device! Heās hidden it everywhere!
Gurggle: (continue agonizing) But HOW?!
Chilbo: (from Gurggleās phone as speaks through, screams in pain) Just find it!
Gurggle: (agonizing) R-right! (Runs to an abandoned clothes shop and pushes off broken drawers as unblock the door, look inside.) SLUSHO! FIND THAT-A DEVICE!
Slusho: (offscreen, agonizing) R-RIGHT!! OUCH!! THATāS HURT TO MY EARS!!
Gurggle: Just go with it! (Slusho flying out of abandoned clothes.)
[Cuts to Slusho flying around Common-Place District while whining in pain.]
[Cuts to Dribbal running on the road and holds his phone. Cut to his phone to show GPS; a big red dot represents him, a big green dot represents his invention, and a small red dot represents Mixels as if it were him running to his invention at an abandoned large building.]
Dribbal: Theyāll never find it. (Runs and enters an abandoned large building with a rusty sign on the top that says āMAJOR AND MINOR STARSā.) Woahā¦! Okayā¦ That would be safe here.
[Cuts to the interior of Major and Minor Stars were dusty hallways, broken instruments, etc. Dribbal pushes a rusty cart to block the doors, and he walks cautiously and looks around.]
Dribbal: I remember what happened to themā¦
[Flashback to Dribbal sitting on grass along a tree and reading Roammerās Day To Day: Travelers Guide - Mixing It Up In Mixopolis, heās at Mixopolis Park.]
Dribbal: (in flashback) I love peace and quiet by myselfā¦ aloneā¦ And I love this book by Roammer! Heās a great knowledge about the locations of Mixopolis!
[8 voices are screaming, Dribbal gets surprised, runs following voices and holds a book. Cuts to 8 Primary Cousins feeling upset to three unknown shadow Mixels, Dribbal joins them in confusion.]
Dribbal: What's going on here?
Mysterious Rival #1: (in flashback, in male middle voice with Cockney accent) Who is that nerd?
Gurggle: (in flashback, growls) He's my brother.
Slusho: (in flashback, barely sad) Iām with Gurggle.
Chilbo: (in flashback, barely calms) Heās my best friend.
Snoof: (in flashback) And he's our friend. (Infernites 2015 and Krog humming in agreement.)
Mysterious Rival #1: Look, boys. Weāre found ourselves a nerd. (He and the other two rivals were laughing while Dribbal was confused.)
Dribbal: What are you talking about?
Mysterious Rival #2: (in flashback, in male raspy voice with lisps) You'll seeā¦ At dark knight! (Three Rivals laughing.)
Dribbal: (confused) Uh, a dark knight? Will I see a dark knight?Ā
Mysterious Rival #2: No! No one sees a dark knight! It was a joke!
Dribbal: No, I'm being serious, I need to find a dark knight for real or not. Because I need more research.
Mysterious Rival #2: (groans) Come on! I can explain to you about that joke today?
Dribbal: Wait, who tells a joke now?
[Mysterious Rivals groaning in frustration while Berp laughing at them in the background, he holds food balls.]
Berp: (in flashback) I told you, guys! Heās so literal-minded! (To Dribbal, happily.) Thanks, Dribbal.
[Cut back to Primary Cousins and Mysterious Rivals.]
Dribbal: (nonchalantly) You're welcome, Berp. (Berp gives four thumb-ups on him.) Anywaysā¦ Where was I? Oh, yeah. Talking about-- (Cuts off.)
Mysterious Rival #2: Forgot about it, that's really annoying from that nerd.
Mysterious Rival #3: (in flashback, in male deep voice with an Australian accent) Yeah, since he's literal-minded.
Dribbal: (To 8 Primary Cousins) What are you guys got problem with?
Flamzer: (in flashback) Those three guys who are against us by a challenge!
Dribbal: Challenge? Challenge for what?
Gurggle: (irritated) About physical challenge! They're got us!
Dribbal: Ohā¦ I see. For today?
8 Primary Cousins: (in flashback, irritated) YES!
Dribbal: (covers his ears, whining in pain) Ouch! Guys! Stop shouting at me! (Sobs.) Please!
Mysterious Rival #1: What kinda are you?
Dribbal: (nervously) Wellā¦ Iā¦ uhā¦
Chilbo: He has mental issues.
Mysterious Rivals: Oh!
Mysterious Rival #2: That explains why heās such a literal-mindedness.Ā
Mysterious Rival #3: And poor social communication.
Mysterious Rival #1: What caused him?
Gurggle: It's a long story.
Slusho: And he doesn't like it when telling about himself.
Mysterious Rival #1: (mockingly) Oh no! Someone got mentally hurt! (He and the other two rivals were laughing while 8 Primary Cousins growling and Dribbal just nonchalantly and sarcastically.) Hey! You're still upset?Ā
Dribbal: (sarcastically) Wowā¦ You're just a hypocrite about one of yours getting mentally hurt.
[Everyone around Mixopolis gasp and Mysterious Rival #1 surprised.]
Mysterious Rival #1: Iām sorry. What did you say?
Chilbo: Dribbal! What are you doing?
Dribbal: Hypocrite. You know? You said that. You lied about that.
Mysterious Rival #1: (picks Dribbal to close him, angrily) How dare you call me that!
Dribbal: (nonchalantly) You sound like your father always said that as he lied to you.
[In the background with Booger, Zabo, Scrub, and Blip watching Primary Cousins and Mysterious Rivals.]
Booger: (in flashback) Ha! Told you!
Scrud: (in flashback) I guess you won the bets.Ā
Mysterious Rival #1: Seriously? You guys playing a bet?
Dribbal: Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Mysterious Rival #1: Listen here, nerd. I am the Master of Deceit of Mixopolis! No one crossed on me!
Dribbal: (calmly, claps his hands slowly) That's very nice. But if you tricked me, I'll suffer on you. But you are gonna be tricked and really hurt.
Mysterious Rival #1: (worried) WHAT?! Why are you so calm?
[Zorch boost up to appear on Primary Cousins and Mysterious Rivals.]
Zorch: (in flashback) He wasn't kidding. I tricked him, then it turned outā¦ He just tricked me!
Burnard: (in flashback) Trust him, he is trying to warn you like me.
Zorch: Yeah! He's more like a prank master as heās more like teaching me and my cousin.
Mysterious Rival #1: (mockingly) Wow! You guys are REALLY serious about him trying to warn us!
Dribbal: (To Mysterious Rivals, calmly) Listen, guys. You bullied us because you thought we were poor while some Mixels thought that was funny, but slowly turned their faces into genuine horror and sadness. You think everyone likes you, but youāre just self-centered, narcissistic and hypocritical, which is someone against you as you canāt stand to look at yourselves in the mirror because all you see is a lie. So you pick up on my brothers and friends to avoid the inevitable realization that once your own self used by a kidās age. Youāre gonna be forgotten after you die even if your family won't want you to hang out at a special event.
[During Dribbal's speeches, every Mixels feeling surprised and Mysterious Rivals slowly felt sad. After speeches, Mysterious Rivals cry and run away while everyone looks at them and then Dribbal. Then everyone applauded and 8 Primary Cousins were still dumbfounded.]
Gurggle: Wow! Ouch!
Chilbo: I can't believe it! Their insult doesn't work on you, then your insult REALLY strong on them!
Gurggle: I'm not even mad! I was just impressed!
Slusho: That was amazing, Dribbal!
Dribbal: (in monotone) You're welcome. Iāll go back to that park. (Walks away while everyone looks at him until he is gone.)
Snoof: Soā¦ Can we continue our activities? (7 Primary Cousins mumbling in agreement.)
[End of flashback as back to present for Dribbal continues walking around the interior of Major and Minor Stars, whistling Jinkyās Debut Song.]
Dribbal: (in a deep voice that almost sounds like Gurggle) Just impressedā¦
[While Dribbal is walking, Gurggle and Slusho are hiding and seeking him in the halls, they're in shadow appearance.]
[Cut back to Dribbal continuing walking on the halls, his face turning to despair.]
Gurggle: (voiceover in hallucination, angrily) Dribbal! You're NOT helping!
Snoof: (voiceover in hallucination) I don't need you anymore.
Flamzer: (voiceover in hallucination) You're such a liar.
Chilbo: (voiceover in hallucination, sadly) Sorry, Dribbalā¦ Iāll need to find someoneā¦
Slusho: (voiceover in hallucination, angrily) I hate you!
[Dribbal starts crying and breathing, coming out of his tears and sweating while heās in hallucination.]
Krog: (voiceover in hallucination) I want you to move on without us.
Meltus: (voiceover in hallucination) You're so hopeless without usā¦
Burnard: (voiceover in hallucination) You're making us worseā¦
[Dribbal grows rapidly breathing and more tears while crying.]
8 Primary Cousins: (voiceover in hallucination) This is your fault, Dribbal!
[Dribbal screaming and running away in the hallways.]
Dribbal: (sodding) No, no, no, NO! IāM NOT CAUSED OF THAT I DID!!
[Dribbal continues crying while running in the halls. Pans to Gurggle and Slusho looking surprised, then looking at each other, and running.]
Slusho: (surprised) What just happened?!
Gurggle: (surprised) Iā¦ I don't know!
[Lis-Ten flies to Gurggle and Slusho.]
Chilbo: (through Lis-Tenās mouth) I think heās got a breakdown!
Gurggle and Slusho: WHAT?!
Chilbo: (through Lis-Tenās mouth) Follow him!
[Gurggle, Slusho, and Lis-Ten running to follow Dribbal. Cut back to Dribbal still crying and anxious.]
Dribbal: (sodding) Leave me alone!
[Pans to Gurggle and Slusho running.]
Gurggle: Yup, definitely heās in a breakdown.
Slusho: And heās running to his device!Ā
Gurggle: (grunting in pain) Yeah! This is getting hurt more! When it's getting longer!
Slusho: (agonizing) Yeah!
[Cut to Dribbal continues sobbing while running in the halls, Gurggle, Slusho, and Lis-Ten following him as they behind him. Dribbal grabs a dusty trumpet and throws at the broken lightbulb to break and blackout which cause they got surrounded by darkness, Gurggle turns on flashlight by his phone as show him, Slusho, and Lis-Ten in light, they looking Dribbal, but heās not here.]
Gurggle: Oh, great! (To Chilbo/Lis-Ten.) You can see him?
Chilbo: (through Lis-Tenās mouth) No, I can't see him with night vision because of a static reaction by a broken lightbulb!
Slusho: (groans) Weāll never find him here!
[Cut to Dribbal pops out from darkness, continues running while sodding until he stops running and makes two broken doors, he opens and enters. Cut to an abandoned auditorium with dusty seats, some broken spotlight along a big broken piano and a new device at the stage while Dribbal walks calmly and stops crying.]
Dribbal: (quietly) Finally! They're here! (He walks onto the stage, looks at a new device.) This is a High-Noise Box making them painful to their ears while Iām using Bluetooth earphones which I never heard as painful. They never find it like me.
[Dribbal walks to a piano, he sits on seat and looks at keyboards.]
Dribbal: (taking breath) I remember those daysā¦
[Dribbal playing the piano in āMixels Theme Season 1ā. When he continues playing a piano, flashback to 12-year-old Dribbal playing a piano in the same song, there's an audience at the theater.]
[Young Dribbal stops music with a finish touch as the same notes of end music of Murp Romp, the audience applause and cheering while Young Dribbal takes off a seat and takes a bow to the audience. Two mysterious Mixels who come to Young Dribbal, but theyāre in the shadows, the one wearing circle glasses and the other one wearing square glasses, they both happy to Young Dribbal.]
Young Dribbal: (flashback, to two Mysterious Mixels) Thank you, you guys!Ā
Circle-Glasses Mixel: (flashback, in tenor) Youāre welcome, Dribbal!
Square-Glasses Mixel: (flashback, in countertenor) Youāre a great talent for piano! (Whispering.) Trust us, Dribbalā¦ Your voice is hypnotic to everyone else when youāre singing.
Young Dribbal: Okay.
[Young Dribbal walks off stage while Two Mysterious Mixels look at him, then they follow him.]
[Cut to Young Dribbal walks into the dressing room, he walks to his bag to pick script papers, then Two Mysterious Mixels enter and close a door as they're still in shadows which made Young Dribbal start nervously.]
Young Dribbal: (nervously) Uhā¦ Can you guys do something to me?
Circle-Glasses Mixel: I hate to tell you, thereās a lie about yourself.
Young Dribbal: (nervously) Me? No, no, no! Iām not lying to anyone else!
Square-Glasses Mixel: Yes, but youāre lying to yourself.
Young Dribbal: (more nervous than before) W-W-What are you talking, guys?
Square-Glasses Mixel: Trust usā¦ with your gospel.
[Two Mysterious Mixels raise up their hands in mix of red and blue magic-electric, they walk slowly and glowing their eyes as Circle-Glasses Mixelās right eye glowing red hypnotic and Square-Glasses Mixelās left eye glowing blue hypnotic, cuts to Young Dribbal crawling away from Two Mysterious Mixels, he against the walls. Cuts back to Two Mysterious Mixels creepy grin.]
Two Mysterious Mixels: (in eerie voices) Tellingā¦ yourā¦ truthā¦ about yourselfā¦ Dribbal Thriller.
[Two Mysterious Mixels laughing madly and Young Dribbal screaming while Two Mysterious Mixelsā shadows cover him as their hypnotized eyes on Young Dribbalās eyes.]
[Fade to present while Young Dribbal screaming fades out, Dribbal breathing in traumatized, then rubs his head, he groans.]
Dribbal: (quietly) I tried to stop myself from telling the truth about myself, but I lost control when I got hypnotized to tell the truthā¦ Itās remotely hypnotic to meā¦ By them. (Groans in mad, then screaming while walking to the other side as toward the old mirror, then punches to mirror as itās shattered into pieces. He is breathing heavily.) Iām such an idiot.
[Dribbal walks back to stage, suddenly, high-pitched noise finally stops which makes Dribbal get scared and then walks slowly to the back of piano, he peaks to Gurggle, Slusho, and Lis-Ten at High-Noise Box got broken by Gurggle with a baseball bat.]
Gurggle: (sighs in relief) FINALLY! Itās over!
Slusho: (relieved) Me too.
Chilbo: (through Lis-Tenās mouth, relieved) Sameā¦
Gurggle: (noticed Dribbal from behind the piano) Hey!
[Dribbal screams and runs out of the abandoned auditorium, Gurggle, Slusho, and Lis-Ten chase him. Cuts back to Dribbal.]
Dribbal: Theyāre found me!
[Pans to Gurggle, Slusho, and Lis-Ten chasing Dribbal.]
Gurggle: Dribbal! Stop!
Slusho: Iāll handle this!
[Slusho flying to a bucket of oil, he grabs it with his legs, flying to Dribbalās front, pours it on the floor which causes Dribbal slips on it, then he against boxes of old instruments, music sheets, and spotlight. Dribbal rises up with a drum on his head. Three shadows on Dribbal which start angry at Gurggle, Slusho, and Lis-Ten who glares at him.]
Dribbal: (under his breath, defeated) I knew itā¦
Gurggle: Dribbal, we just wanted you to-a come with us!
Slusho: Yeah! Booger mentioned you after a fan meeting!
Chilbo: (through Lis-Tenās mouth) And I just wanted you to talk about yourself!
[Cut to Dribbal holding his head, shaking his head, then shaking in fear himself while groaning in frustration, then screaming in irritation.]
Dribbal: (irritated) NO! DON'T TALKING ABOUT ME, OKAY?!
Gurggle: (angrily) Why not?!
Dribbal: (angrily) If you question me about myself one more timeā¦ I'm gonna hurt you mentally, just like your former friend did you.
[Glorp Corp Cousins and Lis-Ten glares at each other until Gurggle starts to feel guilty and sighs in defeat.]
Gurggle: (defeated) Okay, Dribbal. You won. (To Slusho and Lis-Ten) Come on, guys.
[Gurggle walks away while Dribbal, Slusho, and Lis-Ten look at him as Dribbal being angrily, Slusho and Lis-Ten being surprised.]
Slusho: Gurggle! Wait! (To Dribbal, angrily) Why are you doing this to him?!
Dribbal: (in a raspy voice, barely angrily) Don't remember you got betrayed at an incident that left you in there to die?
Slusho: (scared and sadly) Noā¦ No, no, no, no! (Flying away while sodding.)
[Dribbal and Lis-Ten look at Slusho, then look at each other.]
Chilbo: (through Lis-Tenās mouth, sadly) That reminds me of your brothersā betrayal past was the same to me.
Dribbal: (in a deep voice almost like Jinky) I knowā¦
Chilbo: (through Lis-Tenās mouth, sadly) Your voice is almost like Jinky as the same as Gurggle, Camillot, and Jinx. You know already I was Lis-Ten, right? (Dribbal nods.) Okay. I goā¦ Bye, Cappy.
[Lis-Ten flies through a broken window while Dribbal looks at Lis-Ten, he takes off a drum and jumps off boxes.]
Dribbal: (takes a deep breath) Iā¦ I donāt understandā¦
[Dribbal picks music sheets and a spotlight, then he starts walking. The hallucination of the 12-year-old himself appears who looks at him.]
Hallucination Young Dribbal: Well, Cappy. Youāre still trying your best?
Dribbal: Yes, I am. (Holds up his phone from his backpack, sighs.) My brothers and friends want to be free from their problematic goals. They focus on tasks while ignoring me about my inspirations. They want me for my real problem of myself, not the real problem of my inspirations. They want me to join their ideas while they hate my own ideas. I teach them with lessons of knowledge and passion that remember the past and they still hate it?! (Enters back to an abandoned auditorium and then heās on the stage. He puts music sheets, a spotlight, and his backpack on a broken High-Noise Box.) Surely they don't want to actually leave me, right?
Hallucination Young Dribbal: No way, know-it-all. No way, no how.
Dribbal: I-I do everything for these Mixels. I give simple tasks to them. I tried to calm down from trying to hang out with me, a-and they still ignore my opinions! I tried getting away from them, they want with me, they want me with empathy and/or sympathy to finish trauma events, and they hate my crafty genius ideas, too! (Agitated.) Iām starting to get the feeling that they justā¦ hateā¦
Hallucination Young Dribbal: (rhyming) Why would they hate you when you could just hate you? (Starts little fades and Dribbal hits him to disappear in annoyance.)
Dribbal: (trying to hide his nervousness, but failed) This is why I was born. This is my inspiration!
Hallucination Young Dribbal: (pops out from behind Dribbal) Theyād rather focus on anyone's task than go on your tasks.
Dribbal: (agitated) Th--That can't be true! I-I do everything for them. Don't they get that Iām trying?
Hallucination Young Dribbal #2: (appears from right side of curtain) Maybe you're just genuinely bad at this.
[Dribbal hit Hallucination Young Dribbals to disappear in agitation.]
Dribbal: Shut up! N-No. I-I fixed that. I-I can solve ANY problem. I-I can solve this one! (Runs to the box of instruments from the left side of the stage and hides his phone in his backpack, he pushes in quickly next to a piano.) Th--Thatās what this -- (Picks trumpet and flute.) a big puzzle that I need to solve.
[5 Hallucination Young Dribbals surrounding Dribbal.]
5 Hallucination Young Dribbals: Defective.
[Dribbal throws trumpet and flute at 2 Hallucination Young Dribbals in irritation. Dribbal quickly grabs tambourine, alto horn, and violin, he looks at 3 Hallucination Young Dribbals.]
3 Hallucination Young Dribbals: Faulty!
Dribbal: (irritated, throws tambourine, alto horn, and violin at 3 Hallucination Young Dribbals) Shut up!
[Cut to Hallucination Young Dribbals on auditorium seats. Cut back to Dribbal quickly grabbing and throwing instruments at Hallucination Young Dribbals while he growling in irritation.]
Hallucination Young Dribbals: Broken! Unworthy!
Dribbal: (exasperated) Enough!
Hallucination Young Dribbal: (appears to next Dribbal, whispering) Maybe you deserved to be abandoned.
[Dribbal continued throwing instruments at Hallucination Young Dribbals until he noticed the last Hallucination Young Dribbal on an empty box.]
Last Hallucination Young Dribbal: (look at Dribbal) You really were the lowest of your group. (Cut to close-up Dribbal with reflection of Hallucination Young Dribbal from his glasses.) You ruined this.
Dribbal: (exasperated) ENOUGH!! (Grabs spotlight to hit Last Hallucination Young Dribbal to disappear and breaks empty box, then he starts glowing in red and blue magic-electric around himself while few spotlights fall and blue electric around it while he looks at it.) Who do they think they are? I give them everything, (He stomps and looks up, angrily.) and theyāre used to me!
[Instruments, High-Noise Box, music sheets, and backpack start glowing red and blue magic-electric.]
Dribbal: (distorted tone with Two Mysterious Mixelsā voices, look at his hands) Don't they know what Iām capable of?!
[Instruments, High-Noise Box, and music sheets getting stronger glowing, then start levitating, and red and blue magic-electric spread on the floor.]
Dribbal: (in a normal tone, growling) Liars.
[Spotlights glowing in red and blue magic-electric while Dribbal looking in angrily.]
Dribbal: (in a normal voice) They only think about themselves. They're spoiled. (Continue to spread the abandoned auditorium with red and blue magic-electric.) They won't act out. They won't leave me. (Red and blue magic-electric start unstable around him, with Two Mysterious Mixelsā voices.) I won't let them!
[Instruments playing, High-Noise turn on, Dribbalās phone, power bank, charger, bluetooth headphones and earbuds, and spotlights flicking, even broken ones. Dribbalās teeth and hands start sharp while red and blue magic-electric growing unstable around him.]
Dribbal: (unstable) Iām better! Iām more powerful! (In Two Mysterious Mixels' voices) Iām the mastermind! (He starts floating and glowing stronger to cover himself while other things grow unstable.) Iā¦ AMā¦ LEADER!!
[Dribbal unleashed red and blue magic-electric to shoot everywhere in an abandoned auditorium while screaming in agony until it stopped glowing as blackout and things stopped and fell down while Dribbal got unconscious, he went back to normal.]
[Dribbal starts to wake up while little flicking red and blue magic-electric around him, he hears his own voiceĀ screaming at chaos while Two Mysterious Mixelsā voice laughing, takes a deep breath while lowering his head and closes his eyes. He picks his phone from the ground on the stage.]
Square-Glasses Mixel: (voiceover) I seeā¦ Itās okay for youāre scared of showing your true self.
Circle-Glasses Mixel: (voiceover) Heās right, Dribbal. Everyone is hiding their true self.
Two Mysterious Mixels: (voiceover) Seeking the truth is your thrill in seeking. We know you so much. We understand you now. They will understand you, Dribbal Thriller.
Dribbal: Iāll hope soā¦ Voicast and Videast Recorx.
[Dribbal walks out of an abandoned auditorium, then he opens his eyes as revealed red right eye and blue left eye. He starts laughing manically in Dribbalās two voices, meanwhile 8 Primary Cousins on the backstage at Mixopolis Theater, they heard Dribbalās two voices laughing.]
Chilbo: Did you guys hear that?
Snoof: Yeah, sounds like two voices laughing together.
Flamzer: Almost sounds like Gurggle and Slusho, but in a different tone.
Gurggle: (sadly) Yeahā¦
Slusho: (sadly) Sameā¦
Meltus: What's wrong with them?
Chilbo: Dribbal made his brothers feelā¦ guilty about being betrayed by ex-friends. (Sighs sadly.)
Krog: Yeah, itās true about them.
Burnard: Dribbal really knows about emotionally andĀ mentally damaged events.
Flamzer, Meltus, and Frosticon Cousins: He does it!
Gurggle: (sadly) I hope Dribbal is going to be okay by himself at Common-Place District.
Slusho: (sadly) Yeah, me tooā¦
[Cuts to the interior of Major and Minor Stars, pans to yellow and purple double doors with flicking lightbulbs. Shadow Mixel opens the doors, step out to light as reveal is Dribbal wears rock and classical-themed scientist, purple mask with silver spikes, mint green eyeliners with drop down from his eyes, night blue bluetooth headphones, night blue top hat with Warm Nightmarers Icon on purple hat band, night blue cape and hood with warm color patterns, and night blue rock boots. Dribbal closes his eyes, he holds a microphone in the cane and mint green mask with purple eyelines on big hole eyes and big smile, and wears his backpack behind a cape, he opens his eyes, still has a red right eye and blue left eye.]Ā
Dribbal: (in union of two voices, happily) Letās get this show on the road!
[Lightbulbs broken out, Dribbalās new eyes are glowing in the dark, then little flicking red and blue magic-electric around him, he slowly grins to show sharp teeth and laughs hysterically in two voices. Fade to black.]
