Danny and Alex are tied up against a chair in the basement. They're still unconscious. Homer Simpson is chilling on the couch, eating donuts and watching Netflix.

Homer Simpson: "Wake up, guys. Why are you still sleeping?"

He walks up to the corner of the room and picks up a bucket filled with water. He splashes the water on their faces.

Homer Simpson: "I SAID WAKE UP, GUYS!"

Homer Simpson: "I SAID WAKE UP, GUYS!"

Danny and Alex slowly wake up. They seem confused.

Danny: "Who are you?"

Homer Simpson: "I'm Homer Simpson. Nice to meet you, Danny."

Danny: "Homer Simpson? You're a TV show character, you're not real! Wait... Didn't I meet Elmo and the Cookie Monster too? Or was this a dream?"

Alex: "Well, I met Freddy and Foxy. Either this all is a big joke or..."

Freddy: "Or what?"

Alex: "See, Danny. I told you. I don't know what to believe anymore."

Danny: "So if you are the real characters, why did you capture and tie us up here in this basement? Why us?"

Homer Simpson: "Well, you're in trouble. You guys got Bill in trouble."

Alex: "What? What did we do?"

Homer Simpson: "Stay here and think about what you've done wrong. You've got enough time to think now. Nobody can hear you here, so don't even try to escape."

Homer walks out of the room and locks the door.

Homer: Let me check if they're some donuts left in the fridge. Last week's donuts were delicious."

Meanwhile, Peach, Toad and Racoon Girl enter Ben's room quietly. They spot Ben and Sarah in bed, sleeping.

Peach: "Oh, we need to be quiet not to wake them."

Toad: "Ok, what shall we do? Shall we just grab them and bring them to the basement?"

Racoon Girl: "Yeah, but how?"

Peach: "Hmm I have an idea. I brought some trash bags. What if we put the bags over their heads..."

Toad: "Tie a rope around them?"

Racoon Girl: "And I fly us all to the basement?"

Peach: "Sounds good. Wait... What if they scream?"

Toad: "I got some tape to cover their mouths."

Racoon Girl: "Sounds like a plan

Racoon Girl: "Sounds like a plan. Now, GO!"

Then everything happens within a few seconds. First, Toad covers their mouths with tape. Then, Peach puts the black, shiny trash bags over their bodies. Toad ties some rope around and then Racoon Girl flies them all to the basement. Ben and Sarah don't even have time to react, they're simply shocked and in freeze-mode.

Back to the basement. Alex and Danny are debating about what they possibly did wrong.

Alex: "Do you think they found out we've been cheating on our math exams?

Alex: "Do you think they found out we've been cheating on our math exams?

Danny:" I don't know. But that's not a valid reason to kidnap us in a random basement. What if they're gonna hurt us?"

Alex: "Homer Simpson? Have you ever watched 'The Simpsons'? Homer is too lazy to hurt anyone."

Suddenly, Racoon Girl unlocks the door and enters with two huge black bags.

Racoon Girl: "Hey guys, I brought some of your friends. We can have a party now."

She drops the bags on the floor and opens up the rope. Sarah's and Ben's heads are peeking out of the bag.

Ben: "Oh, hey guys! What are you doing here?"

Sarah: "Is this a surprise party for us?"

Danny: "No, I don't think so. Homer Simpson told us we're here because we did something really bad. But we've no idea what we did wrong."

Racoon Girl: "Ben and Sarah, stay here and think about what you might have done wrong lately."

She leaves them all tied up and locks the door behind her.
