Horrid Henry's Fun Run

==Synopsis==
Horrid Henry is exercising for fun?!
==Plot==
Horrid Henry is sat on the sofa in his pyjamas, watching TV while eating sweets and drinking some slush mush. Just then, Mum and Peter come into the living room. Mum is mad about the fact Henry is just lying around, doing nothing all day. Henry doesn't care, and when he asks, 'So?' Mum replies that it's bad for him, and she turns off the TV, to Henry's dismay. Henry asks why she did that, Mum replies that he doesn't get enough exercise and eats too much junk food. Peter adds that he needs his 5 A Day, and Henry says 'Silence worm!' and gets told not to be horrid by Mum. 
Mum then continues, saying they all need more exercise, and then explains she's signed the family up for a fun run. Peter is excited, when Henry protests that there is nothing fun about running. Peter then begins running around, saying how nice it will be to get out in the fresh air. Henry says it's unfair and that just because Mum, Dad, and Peter want more exercise doesn't mean he has as well. Mum disagrees, and says that he'll enjoy it if he gives it a chance, but Henry falls back with his arms crossed, with Mum saying sharply that it's time for him to be fit and healthy. Henry then screams, 'NOOOOOO!!!' opening the title card.
The next scene shows Fluffy sitting on the window seal in the living room, staring up at the moon. She then presses the controller, and it turns to morning. Henry is in bed, sleeping, when Mum opens his curtains. She tells him that it’s time for his new exercise routine, and Henry protests, saying it's Saturday morning. Mum then pulls of his duvet, saying the early bird catches the worm, and Peter comes in. Henry mutters ‘Speaking of worms’, and Peter begins doing stretches to get ready. Henry makes fun of him, saying he needs to be careful or he'll burst his nappy, resulting in Mum telling Henry not to be horrid, and that she wants him downstairs and having breakfast in two minutes before leaving. Henry then says that when he is the king, everyone will get all the exercises they want, showing Mum, Dad, and Peter running on a hamster wheel while Henry drinks their sweat as king. After that, Henry then says to the audience 'it's just not fair'. 
Henry goes into the kitchen and yawns. Peter bids him, 'Good morning!' and Henry says there's nothing good about it as he takes a seat at the table. Mum puts a bowl of muesli in front of him, but Henry believes they are twigs. Peter takes a bite of his own breakfast and says it's delicious and healthy. Henry sniffs it and shoves it away, protesting that it looks likes something from the bottom of Fang's cage, and Mum explains that it's muesli, while Henry says it's disgusting. Mum then tells him to eat up as they want to get down to the park early, and Henry says they can't go to the park. When Mum asks why, Henry claims that there is an escaped leopard who has eaten three smelly nappy babies already this week which made Peter get scared but she tells Henry not to be silly. Henry then says he's coming down with something, needs rest and an ice cold drinks too but Mum told Henry not be to so dramatic and get changed into his running clothes then leaves the kitchen with Peter. 
Henry asked the audience what if he was really sick, knowing his parents wouldn't believe him but except for Peter getting an idea. Mum and Dad were all ready and Henry comes downstairs as Peter ties his shoes but when he stands up, he feels a pain in his foot and their parents came to check on him. Mum asked Peter what the matter and he claims his foot really hurts but doesn't know why and Henry offered to stay here and look after him while the parents go out running. Dad takes Peter's shoe off and finds a stone then wonders how it got inside looking at Henry who claims he doesn't know but Mum thinks he does and takes away his pocket money for two weeks but Peter corrects them by saying three weeks actually instead because Henry’s already lost it for two weeks. Then Mum suggest they get going right now but Henry says 'It's so not fair!' facing the audience. 
The new scene shows the family in the park warming up and Mum tells them that they should start with an easy run just as far as that tree but Henry says it's miles then the family start running as Dad gets Henry to follow them. Henry starts to run very slowly behind and holding onto the tree losing his breath. Mum asked him was the run not so bad and Henry says they just run a marathon but Mum says it was fun though and Henry didn't think so himself but glad it was over then suggest they call a taxi and go back home so he can watch Gross Class Zero but Dad told Henry it was just a warm-up and the fun run is not until next week and Mum added that there is going to be a lot of training between now and then much to his dismay. Fluffy watches the family in the backyard doing press-up while counting but Henry was just putting his face onto his sweet bag as he picks a sweet in his mouth at time. Then Mum, Dad and Peter were jogging on the block but Henry zooms past them on his skateboard. Next They did star jumps while Henry jumps on a trampoline but Mum and Dad were now tired of him showing off. So Dad confiscates his sweets, skateboard and trampoline by putting them all in the cupboard under the stairs and locks the door with a key then puts it in his pocket as Henry folds his arms scowling and watching him. 
Later The family runs on the path while it was raining and Henry falls behind out of breath but then he gets splashed when a car drives over a puddle and gets him all wet as he growls in anger. Back at the Park, the family run past Parky while he was walking his dog, Hoppy as Henry tries to catch up but then his dog trips him over making his shoe fly off and he licks his sock. Parky laughs and tells Henry that Hoppy likes him but he didn't find it funny at all. As the family continued running, Henry sees his friend, Al running on a treadmill and decided to give it a try thinking it looks easy for him. Al lets Henry have a go on the treadmill but when he press a button, he runs too fast losing control then falls off hitting the floor and Al says, 'Nice try, Henry'. 
After finishing training, the family were back in the kitchen eating Broccoli and lentil bake much to Peter's liking but Henry complains that athletes were supposed to eat real food like chips. Dad told Henry that he was glad to see him taking an interest and asked how his sponsorship coming along but Henry was confused about that question. Peter shows them his sponsorship form and got Miss Lovely and his classmates to sponsor for the fun run and Dad got everyone at Tingly Toothbrush to sponsor him too then asked Henry where his sponsorship form he gave to him a week ago but before Henry could answer, Mum reveals it as a paper plan folded says 'Does this ring any bells?'. Mum tells Henry that the fun run is a chance to raise money for charity and Henry asked if they didn't have any money, then it's not worth doing it and Dad says 'Yes' which pleases him. 
Henry goes to every doorstep and tries to get people to sponsor him for the fun run by saying it's for a statue of Mad Moon Madison, a new super soaker and offered them £10 a step but they kept slamming their doors in his face three times refusing to sponsor him. Henry comes back to the house and told Dad he didn't get any sponsorship and suppose they don't do the fun run anymore but Dad says to him he'll just have to sponsor himself instead making him growl in anger and scrunches his form. The next day, it was time for the Fun Run to begin and as everyone were at the starting line, Al's Dad tells them all to get ready and blows his pistol to start the race. Everyone starting running fast as Dad tells Henry 'Knees Up' to him but then Henry was falling way behind and out of breath while everyone was jogging so fast. Then Henry spots a path leading to the woods and gets a 'Eureka' moment then says if he takes a shortcut through there, he would come out right by the finish line but when he goes inside, he finds no more path and gets lost while saying it's a bit spooky in here. Henry trips over something and falls down a hill into a mud puddle then gets hit by a tree branch in the face but he hears a growling sound thinking there is a leopard in the woods. A nose peeks out of the bush but Henry gets scared and screams 'Noooo!!!' while running for his life out of the woods passing everyone and crosses the finish line. Henry panics on the ground as he cries to everyone that he's being attacked by a leopard but they laugh as Hoppy was licking his shoe and he tells them it's not funny. Peter says it is funny the way Henry was running and Hoppy did too while hugging him but Henry faints after realising that Hoppy was the leopard. 
The final scene shows Henry in the living room having an ice cold drink when Dad answers the doorbell and brings Al and his dad inside to see him. Al told Henry he and his Dad need him after watching him at the fun run today running really, really, really fast through the park and that they want him to be on their cross country team which he replied 'What?'. Al's Dad told Henry he's a neutral which made Dad think it was a good idea and assured him not to be worry because they'll make sure he's there, rain or shine but Henry then screams 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!' ending the episode.
