Russell: Today is Thursday, and I'm glad!
Blythe: I'm glad, too, Russell. Just one more day to go before Friday. Kick off to the weekend!
Russell: 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!
Blythe: I've got to confess something, I have a surprise.
Russell: A surprise?
Blythe: Mm-hm. 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!
Russell: [Gasp] Eeeee! You did?!
Blythe: I did.
Russell: That's great! You and me together will make for the most fun pajama party in a pet shop ever! We'll do pizza and watch movies and make popcorn! You like popcorn? Of course! Everyone loves popcorn! And then my favorite - mushroom and grass with roots at the bottom!
Blythe: Whoaaa! [Thud]
Russell: Blythe? Are you okay?
Blythe: Yeah, I just slipped in this puddle.
Russell: Hmm... How did that water and this empty fish food container get here?
Blythe: I don't know, but frankly, it's weird.
Russell: Some might say it's fishy! [Laughing] You're right, it's... it's weird.
Russell: [Humming] Hmm... hmm... hmm? Hm, could be better. The devil is in the details. Whoa! [Thud]
Vinnie: Yo, Russell, looks like you're building a terrycloth burrito. Haha! What gives?
Russell: I am prepacking my pet bed.
Sunil: Prepacking?
Russell: Absolutely. I won't need it until tomorrow night, but one can't be too prepared.
Vinnie: Where are you off to on Friday night?
Russell: Right here.
Sunil: So, you're packing to go nowhere?
Russell: No, I'm being boarded overnight at LPS while my owner's away and Blythe is staying with me.
Sunil & Vinnie: Blythe?
Russell: Here's the best part: Tomorrow night, Blythe and I will throw a massive pajama party, just for us! First we'll make red, yellow, and blue popcorn, which of course we'll use for a pizza topping! And then, we'll put on our best PJs! There'll be a massive pillow fight, lasting until the cases wear out! [Inhale] And of course, we'll have a contest to see who could make the best balloon animals! Who knows where that much fun could lead?
[Dramatic music]
[Pop]
Blythe & Russell: [Laughing and whooping]
Russell: Then we'll brush up on our mad bouncing skills! [Crash] And load only the funniest movies on DVD!
Clown on TV: [Laughing]
Blythe & Russell: [Laughing and whooping]
Russell: Which we'll watch over and over until the sun comes up! [Sigh] It'll be the absolute best time ever had by anyone at LPS! Well, gotta resume prepacking. See you Monday morning, guys!
Vinnie: Wow... How much fun is that gonna be?
Sunil: Plenty for Blythe and Russell.
Sunil & Vinnie: We wanna go! [Sobbing] Uh, yeah! Sleepover!
Vinnie: Yeah... yeah, we should go.
Russell: At last, Friday. The day of the big night. Oh, Blythe - which of these is more proper pajama party attire?
Blythe: Just a minute, gotta show this to Mrs. Twombly – another empty fish food can and some chewed-on fish toys.
Mrs. Twombly: Chewed fish toys? Hm, that's strange. There's only one logical explanation – we've got a ghost!
Russell: [Gasp] Ohhh!
Mrs. Twombly: Oooooooo!
Blythe & Mrs. Twombly: [Laughing]
Russell: Did she say - g-g-g-
Blythe: Ghost? Yeah, that's what she said.
Russell: [Shrieks]
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.
Sunil & Vinnie: US!
Sunil: Sounds great, Vinnie. Just one thing.
Vinnie: What?
Sunil: How do we get invitations on such short notice?
Vinnie: Invitations - wha? Buddy, this party can only be crashed!
Sunil: Crashed?
Vinnie: Yep! And I 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 0-700 hours, then we break into LPS downstairs, then crash Blythe and Russell's party!
Sunil: You seem to have skipped over the details of the breaking in which is the part I am most concerned about!
Vinnie: Ha ha, eh, details! Anyway, party won't really get started 'til we get there! Any questions?
Sunil: Just one: What does 0-700 hours mean?
Vinnie: I'm not really sure. I heard it in a cool caper movie once, and so, should always be part of any good plan.
Sunil: Ohhh, right! And what does "rendezvous" mean?
Blythe: Uh, Russell? What's up with the sudden terror?
Russell: I hate g-g-ghosts!
Blythe: Mrs. Twombly was just kidding. I'm sure there are no ghosts here.
Russell: [Exhale] You're sure? But... are you positive?
Blythe: Okay, yes, I'm positive there are no ghosts in Littlest Pet Shop.
Russell: [Sigh]
Mrs. Twombly: [Over PA] Blythe, please come to the fish section for a cleanup of strange seaweed. Or is it... ghostly ecto-goop! Eeee-hehehehehe!
Russell: [Terrified sounds]
Mrs. Twombly: [Laugh] Sometimes I crack me up!
[PA dings]
[Door closes]
Mrs. Twombly: Okay, Blythe, I'm off. I've got a killer mahjong tournament to win! Make sure everything on the checklist is attended to.
Blythe: DWAAT, don't worry about a thing.
Mrs. Twombly: SYITM, see you in the morning! [Laugh] 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? [Closes door]
Blythe: So Russell, did you find anything about ghosts being real?
Russell: No, it's all pretty unbelievable stuff online.
Blythe: Of course, there are no such things as ghosts.
Russell: Except for one urban legend about a massive sewer glowing reptilian poultergeist that feeds on... [Gulp] hedgehogs! But, that's just silly! [Nervous laugh]
Blythe: It's totally silly and it only scares you because it mentions hedgehogs. If it didn't, just think how absurd it would sound.
Russell: Hmm, I suppose you're right. I mean, yes – you're absolutely correct! But it does mention hedgehogs!
Blythe: [Sigh] Hey, check this out!
Russell: A plastic necklace?
Blythe: (Turns lights off) It's a glowstick necklace!
Russell: Wow! Uh, Blythe?
Blythe: Yeah?
Russell: Please turn the lights back on!
Blythe: Here's one for you.
Russell: Huh, maybe I can use it as a ghost repellant. Ha, begone!
Blythe: Oh, I brought this fun board game for us to play too - My First Formal Dance! It's tons of fun!
Russell: Yeah, for girls.
Blythe: Oh, come on, you'll love it! I used to play this all the time!
Russell: Oh! What a wonderfully thick book of rules! Unfold prelude A from page one. Simple five 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. Oh, 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! Ugh, pedestrian design!
[Sneaky music]
[Door creaks open, shuts]
Sunil: Aaahhh! [Quivering] Okay, so where's Vinnie? Vinnie? Psst! PSST! PSSSSSSSST!
Vinnie: Huh? Whoaaaa! [Crash] Oof!
Sunil: I was signaling you!
Vinnie: Really? Sounded like you was calling a snake. Come on!
Sunil: [Yelp]
Vinnie: [Inhale] Ahhhh, the alley - my true element!
Sunil: You mean you are garbage?
Vinnie: How dare you?
Sunil: What's so special about the alley?
Vinnie: It's where we're gonna use all the cool stuff I see in action movies! Ha, strong enough to hold anything! Alley-oop!
Sunil: Oh, nice catch!
Vinnie: Now, the gutsy part! (Puts on sunglasses)
Sunil: Uh, why those? It's already dark.
Vinnie: 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.
Sunil: Uh, but what happens if -
Vinnie: One - two - three!
Sunil & Vinnie: [Screaming]
[Crash]
[BOOM!]
(Power all over Downtown City is knocked out.)
[Gasp]
Russell: What happened to the lights?!
Blythe: Calm down, Russell. When the power goes off, the emergency lights always come on. See?
Russell: Barely.
Blythe: Stay put, I gotta go in the back and check on the shop's circuit breaker. Don't worry, you'll be fine.
Russell: [Shaking] Worry? Me?
[Crash]
Russell: B-b-Blythe, is that you? [Crash] [Screaming] [Panting]
[Doors open]
Russell: Aaaaaaaah!
[Monster roaring]
Russell: [Screaming]
[Chase music]
Russell: [Screaming] [Hyperventilating]
Blythe: Hmm, not one of the breakers tripped. Better reset them all just in case. Nothing, huh. Gotta be a power outage. Russell!
Russell: [Scream] Huh? What took you so long? I heard this creepy squishing sound nearby!
Blythe: Where? I'm going to go check it out.
Russell: Can't you just stay here with me?!
Blythe: Hmm. No leaky pipe. More puddles.
Russell: I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine! [Thud] Aaaah! Come on, Russell, get a grip! You can't spend all night hiding! It's time to find Blythe and face my fears! Here I go! Eeeee! Here I stay!
[Sneaky music]
(Sunil tries catapulting Vinnie into the window.)
[Thud]
[Smack!]
(Sunil tries slingshotting him into the window.)
[Smack!]
(Sunil tries twirling and throwing him into the window.)
[Smack!]
(Sunil tries punting him into the window like a football.)
Vinnie: [Screaming] Too high, too high! Aaaaaaaaah! (Goes flying through the apartment building) [Thud] Guuhhhh!
[Motor revving]
Sunil: Any more great ideas on how we get inside?
Vinnie: I'm thinking!
Sunil: That's what got us here!
Vinnie: Hey, didn't I say to pack a flashlight? Let's have it. This is a flashlight?
Sunil: Technically, yes.
Vinnie: [Awkward laugh] I-I guess that would work too. (They climb the fire escape and into an air vent.)
[Clang]
Blythe: Huh. Wet. Curious.
[Bang]
Russell: [Screaming]
Blythe: Russell!
[Crash]
Sunil: Any more bright ideas, Vinnie?
Sunil & Vinnie: Aaaaaahh!
Sunil: Oh, hey - things are finally going my way! Ugh, but now we are filthy!
Vinnie: Perfect camoflauge for our method of entry.
Sunil: Maybe so, but grime is not proper slumber party attire.
Vinnie: You got a point.
Sunil: Ugh, great! We look like two clowns after playing in a sewer!
Vinnie: Shh!
Sunil: Why are we shushing?
Vinnie: We want to surprise Russell and Blythe, don't we?
Sunil: Oh, right! Proceed in stealth mode!
[Squeak]
Sunil & Vinnie: [Screaming]
[Crash]
Blythe: What the what?!
Vinnie: That was your fault!
Sunil: It was your fault!
Vinnie: Okay, maybe it was both our faults! But now we gotta get serious about handling whatever comes up!
Sunil: Right, whatever!
Vinnie: After all, we've gotten over the hard stuff! Nothing can stop us!
Sunil: Right, nothing!
(Two tentacles grab them both.)
Sunil & Vinnie: [Screaming]
Russell: Vinnie? Sunil? What are they doing here?
Sunil & Vinnie: [Screaming]
Russell: [Scream] It's the sewer-dwelling hedgehog-eating reptilian g-g-g-ghost! [Panting]
Ollie: Uh... ghost? I'm no ghost! I'm Ollie Arms!
Russell: You're n-n-not a g-g-ghost?
Vinnie: Hey, Russell! Do that roll yourself into a ball thing again, but this time, take us with you!
Sunil & Vinnie: Huh?
Blythe: OMG, it's an octopus!
Russell, Sunil, & Vinnie: Octopus?
Ollie: 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]
[Metal music]
Ollie: ...when I fell off the delivery truck and got lost.
[Dog barking]
[Rain and thunder]
Ollie: I took a wrong turn during a downpour and got lost beneath a storm drain under Littlest Pet Shop.
[Alligators roaring]
Ollie: I emerged at night up through this very tub, alone and scared.
Blythe: Well, at least you found a food supply. In the morning, I'll have Mrs. Twombly call the aquarium to come pick you up.
[Lights buzzing]
Blythe: [Gasp] The power's back on!
All: [Cheering]
Vinnie: Hehe, I bet a lizard and mongoose weren't in any way responsible for the - the power outage. [Laughing]
Blythe: Now I can make popcorn!
Russell: And get this party started!
Vinnie: Told ya it couldn't kick in without us!
Blythe: But first, I've got to return Vinnie and Sunil home before their owners get worried. However, not before we play one round of My First Formal Dance!
Blythe: With my new and improved rules!
All: [Cheering]
Blythe: I kinda like being princess supreme!
Ollie: Me too, I think!
Sunil: So, Russell, you rewrote the game rules so that everyone wins?
Russell: Seemed only fair.
Ollie: This game is tons of fun!
Russell: Imagine, I actually thought you were a ghost!
Ollie: And I was so scared of being seen here, I only came out at night, hehe!
Russell: I suppose everyone has fears to conquer.
Blythe: Are you guys ready for some balloon animal fun?
Russell: Am I? [Inhaling]
[Smack!]
Russell: [Straining] Huh, not as simple as I'd imagined.
Blythe: Think you can get the hang of it, Ollie?
Ollie: I think so.
Blythe: Wow!
Ollie: Are these good enough?
All: [Cheering]
