Scene 1

[A cloudy day with the sun shining high above] A young schoolboy with a backpack on was walking by the children's park on his way to school. A pallid girl who wore a Japanese priestess gown and sandals watched the young boy from behind a tree. The boy continued to walk until he tripped on a crack.

Bobby put on his clothes.

Bobby: Oh, oh yeah! I'll be right down!

Joyce rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen.

Scene 3

Nellie: Where is everybody?

Penny turned back to Nellie from the TV.

Penny: Carter and Ollie went grocery shopping.

Nellie: I wanted to go! Maybe I can catch up with them.

Penny: By the time you get there, they might be on their way back.

Nellie: Well, then I have to hurry!

Penny looked at Princess.

Penny: Look's like it's just us.

They were watching morning cartoons.

Penny: Wouldn't it be cool if we were on TV?

Princess: Then everyone would know your true identities. I don't think that's cool.

Nellie rushed to get ready and hurried out of the house carrying her bag and a snack bar.

Penny (shouting after her): I hope you catch them!

[Church] Bobby bowed his head low and prayed about his nightmare. He looked very solemn and worried.

Mr. White: Are you okay, Bobby?

His dad touched his shoulder but Bobby looked down.

Mr. White: You look a little pale today, son, is something bothering you?

Bobby turned to his dad.

Bobby: I had a bad dream this morning.

His dad noticed that the music minister was almost ready to sing.

Mr. White: We'll talk about it later, son.
