02x03 - Eight Arms to Hold You

[bunniefuu]

Today is Thursday, and I'm glad.

I'm glad too, Russell.

Just one more day to go before Friday--

Kick-off to the weekend!

Well, I'm excited because for me Friday night marks

my first-ever overnight stay at LPS.

I'm being boarded overnight while my owner's out of town

and I absolutely cannot wait.

I gotta confess something.

I have a surprise.

A surprise?

Mm-hmm. I've known for a while

that you were going to spend the night at LPS

and I already got the okay from Mrs. T. and my dad

to bunk with you for the night!

( exclaims )

You did?

I did.

That's great!

You and me together will make for the most fun

pajama party at a pet shop, ever!

RUSSELL: We'll have pizza and watch movies and make popcorn.

You like popcorn?

Of course, everyone loves popcorn.

And then my favorite: mushroom and grass yogurt

with roots at the bottom.

( Blythe crashes, grunts ) Blythe?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just slipped in this puddle.

Hmm.

How did that water

and this empty fish food container get here?

I don't know.

But frankly, it's weird.

Some might say it's fishy!

( laughing )

You're right, it's weird.

( Russell humming )

Hmm...

Hmm...

Hmm?

Hmm, could be better.

The devil is in the details.

( grunts )

Yo, Russell,

looks like you're building a terrycloth burrito.

What gives?

I am pre-packing my pet bed.

"Pre-packing"?

Absolutely. I won't need it until tomorrow night,

but one can't be too prepared.

Where you off to on Friday night?

Right here.

So, you're packing to go nowhere?

No, I'm being boarded overnight

at LPS while my owner's away.

And Blythe is staying with me.

Blythe? Blythe?

Here's the best part: tomorrow night,

Blythe and I will throw a massive pajama party

just for us!

RUSSELL: First, we'll make

red, yellow and blue popcorn, which of course

we'll use for pizza topping.

And then, we'll put on our best PJs.

There will be a massive pillow fight,

lasting until the cases wear out.

And, of course,

we'll have a contest to see who can make

the best balloon animals.

Who knows where that much fun could lead?

( both laughing )

( popping )

( laughing continues )

Whoo!

Whoa!

Then, we'll brush up on our mad bouncing skills.

( crashing )

And load only the funniest movies on DVD...

( clown cackles )

( both laughing ) Russell!

...which we'll watch over and over,

until the sun comes up.

( sighs )

It'll be the absolute best time

ever had by anyone at LPS.

Well, gotta resume pre-packing.

See you Monday morning, guys.

Wow.

How much fun is that gonna be?

Plenty...for Blythe and Russell.

We wanna go! We wanna go!

( both crying )

( both clearing throats )

Sleepover... Yeah, hmm.

Yeah...we should go.

At last, Friday,

the day of the big night!

Oh, Blythe!

Which of these is more proper pajama party attire?

Just a minute. Gotta show this to Mrs. Twombly.

Another empty fish food can

and some chewed-on fish toys.

Chewed fish toys?

Hmm, that's strange.

There's only one logical explanation.

We've got a ghost!

( gasps )

( eerie theme playing )

( both laughing )

We've got a ghost!

Did she say g-g-g--

BLYTHE: Ghost?

Yeah, that's what she said.

Eek!

( shivering )

VINNIE: Sunil, something has to be done

to land us smack in this spectacular

slumber party action tonight.

After all, no celebration is complete

without the two greatest party guests of all time:

Us! Us!

Sounds great, Vinnie. Just one thing. What?

How do we get our invitations on such short notice?

Invitations?!

Buddy, this party can only be crashed.

Crashed? Yep, and I've got

an idea of just how to do it.

Okay, okay, you and me--

We sneak out of our upstairs owners' apartments

then rendezvous in the hall

at precisely hours.

Then, we break into LPS downstairs.

Then, crash Blythe and Russell's party.

You seem to have skipped over

the details of the breaking in,

which is the part I am most concerned about.

( chuckles )

Details...

Anyway, the party won't really

get started till we get there.

Any questions?

Just one.

What does hours mean?

I'm not really sure.

I heard it in a cool caper movie once

and so, it should always be part of any good plan.

Oh, right.

And what does "rendezvous" mean?

Uh, Russell?

What's up with the sudden terror?

I hate g-g-ghosts.

Mrs. Twombly was just kidding.

I'm sure there are no ghosts here.

You're sure, but are you positive?

Okay, yes, I'm positive there are no ghosts

in Littlest Pet Shop. (sighs )

( intercom beeps ) TWOMBLY: Blythe,

please come to the fish food section for a cleanup

of strange seaweed.

Or is it ghostly ectogoop?

( Mrs. Twombly laughs eerily )

(Mrs. Twombly chuckles )

Sometimes I cr*ck me up.

Okay, Blythe, I'm off.

I've got a k*ller Mahjong tournament to win.

Make sure everything on the checklist is attended to.

D-W-A-A-T.

Don't worry about a thing.

S-Y-I-T-M.

See you in the morning!

( chuckles )

Don't these youngsters realize

it takes twice as long to decipher

their silly abbreviations as it does

to state them normally in the first place?

So Russell, did you find anything

about ghosts being real?

No, it's all pretty unbelievable stuff online.

Of course. There are no such thing as ghosts.

Except for one urban legend

about a massive, sewer-dwelling reptilian

poltergeist that feeds on...hedgehogs.

But that's just silly.

( chuckles nervously )

It's totally silly, and it only scares you

because it mentions hedgehogs.

If it didn't,

just think how absurd it would sound.

Hmm, I suppose you're right. Yes!

You're absolutely correct!

But it does mention hedgehogs.

( sighs )

Hey, check this out!

A plastic necklace?

It's a glow stick necklace.

RUSSELL: Wow!

Uh, Blythe? Yeah?

Please turn the lights back on.

Here's one for you.

( groans )

Maybe I can use it as a ghost repellent.

Hah! Be gone!

Ooh, I brought this fun board game for us to play too.

My First Formal Dance! It's tons of fun.

Yeah, for girls.

Oh, come on, you'll love it!

I used to play this all the time.

Oh! What a wonderfully thick book of rules.

"Unfold Prelude A from page one.

"Simplified rules of play:

"Two or more players gather points

"during their First Formal Dance.

"The player amassing the most points

"wins and is crowned Ultimate Princess Supreme.

"The first runner-up gets a sparkly scepter

"while the second runner-up

"wins a glittery ponytail band.

"One size fits all.

Not responsible for lost or damaged hair."

How incredibly unfair.

And one size does not fit all!

Why, I could come up with a better game

with half my synapses tied behind my back.

In fact, that's just what I'm going to do.

Pedestrian design.

( creaking )

Ah!

( gasps, shivers )

Okay, so where's Vinnie?

( softly ): Vinnie.

Psst!

Psst!

Psst!

Huh? Whoa!

( crashing )

( grunts )

I was signaling you!

Really? Sounded like you was calling a snake.

C'mon!

VINNIE: Ah, the alley...

My true element.

You mean you are garbage?

How dare you.

What's so special about the alley?

It's where I get to use all the cool stuff

I see in action movies.

Ha! There.

Strong enough to hold anything.

Alley-oop!

Oh, nice catch.

Now, the gutsy part.

Why those? It's already dark.

Cool factor.

Okay, drop your end and grab this one.

Now, on three,

we swing over to that window across the alley,

grab the top of it

and use our combined weight to pull it open.

But what happens if...

One, two, three!

( Sunil screams )

( electricity crackling )

( gasping )

( alarm blares )

RUSSELL: What happened to the lights?!

BLYTHE: Calm down, Russell.

When the power goes off,

the emergency lights always come on.

See?

Barely. Stay put.

I've got to go in the back and check out

the shop's circuit breaker. Don't worry.

You'll be fine.

W-w-worry?

Me?

( shivering )

( thudding )

B-B-Blythe? Is that you?

( clattering )

( shrieking )

( screaming )

Aah!

( groaning )

( whimsical chase theme playing )

( flushing )

( screaming )

( groaning )

( hyperventilating )

( sighs )

Hmm...

Not one of the breakers tripped.

Better reset them all, just in case.

( clicking )

Nothing. Huh.

Gotta be a power outage.

( whimpering ) Russell.

Huh?!

What took you so long?!

I heard this creepy, squishing sound nearby!

Where?

I'm gonna go check it out.

Can't you just stay here with me?

Hmm, no leaky pipe.

More puddles.

RUSSELL: I'll be fine. I'll be fine.

I'll be fine. Aah!

( shivering )

Come on, Russell.

Get...a...grip.

I can't spend all night hiding.

It's time to find Blythe and face my fears.

Here I go!

Here I stay.

( ' s style funk theme playing )

Aah! Too high! Too high! Too high!

( Vinnie screaming )

( thuds, groans )

( vehicle approaching )

( tires screeching )

Any more great ideas on how we get inside?

I'm thinkin'. That's what got us here.

Hey, didn't I say to pack a flashlight?

Let's have it.

This is a flashlight?

Technically, yes.

( chuckles )

I guess that would work too.

Huh, wet.

Curious.

( shivering )

( thuds )

( exclaims )

( gasps ): Russell!

Any more bright ideas, Vinnie?

( groaning )

Hey, things are finally going my way.

But now we are filthy.

Perfect camouflage for our method of entry.

Maybe so, but grime is not proper slumber party attire.

You've got a point.

Great.

We look like two clowns after playing in a sewer.

Shh! Why are we shushing?

We want to surprise Russell and Blythe, don't we?

Oh, right.

Proceed in stealth mode.

( squeaks )

( both screaming )

What the what?

That was your fault!

It was your fault!

Okay, maybe it was both our faults.

But now, we gotta get serious

about handling whatever comes up.

Right! Whatever.

After all, we've gotten over the hard stuff.

Nothing can stop us!

Right! Nothing!

( both screaming )

( gasps )

Vinnie? Sunil?

What are they doing here?

Aah! It's the sewer-dwelling, hedgehog-eating

reptilian g-g-g-ghost!

( whimpering )

"Ghost"? I'm no ghost.

I'm Ollie Arms.

You're n-n-not a g-ghost?

Hey, Russell, do that roll-yourself-into-a-ball thing

again, but this time take us with you!

Huh? Huh?

( gasps ): O-M-G!

It's an octopus!

VINNIE & SUNIL: Octopus? Octopus?

So there I was, minding my own business,

on my way to a local aquarium

as the star of the new octopus display.

( tires screeching )

( rock 'n roll playing on radio )

( tires screeching, horn honks )

I fell off the delivery truck and got lost.

( barking )

( thunder rolling )

I took a wrong turn during a downpour

and got washed into a storm drain

beneath Littlest Pet Shop.

( growling )

I emerged at night

up through this very tub,

alone and scared.

Well, at least you found a food supply.

In the morning, I'll have Mrs. Twombly

call the aquarium to come pick you up.

The power's back on!

( all cheering )

I bet a lizard and mongoose

weren't in any way responsible

for the-the-the power outage.

( nervous chuckle )

Now, I can make popcorn!

And get this party started!

Told ya it couldn't kick in without us.

But first, I gotta return Vinnie and Sunil home

before their owners get worried.

However, not before we play

one round of My First Formal Dance.

With my new and improved rules!

( all cheering )

I kinda like being Princess Supreme.

Me too. I think.

So, Russell, you rewrote the game rules

so that everyone wins?

Seemed only fair.

This game is tons of fun!

Imagine. I actually thought you were a ghost.

And I was so scared of being seen here,

I only came out at night.

I suppose everyone has fears to conquer.

Are you guys ready for some balloon animal fun?

Am I?

Huh, not as simple as I'd imagined.

Think you can get the hang of it, Ollie?

I think so.

Wow!

Are these good enough?
