## Script

*[In the living room, Arion is about to walk out the door as Nehemiah approaches him.]*

**Nehemiah**: "Arion? Where ya going, buuuddy?"

**Arion**: "Oh, I've decided to take a break from the castle for one day, and go out. By myself."

**Nehemiah**: "Wait— by yourself?? Well that’s kind of a first. You sure we can’t come??"

**Arion**: "Just for today. I wanna see what it’s like being alone."

**Nehemiah**: "Oh. Well, okay. Have fun!”

**Arion**: "Bye! Also, PLEASE don't destroy the castle.." *[He leaves, closing the door. Nehemiah stands there, with a finger on his chin as he thinks.]*

*[Arion is now just walking around Toon Town confidently, as other Toon Citizens look at him in confusion.]*

**Arion**: "Hey, everyone! I'm by myself today!"

**Toon Citizen#1**: *[In a monotone voice]* Good. Everyone should be by themselves.

**Arion**: "Huh. Ookayy.. I'm gonna get some ice cream." *[He rushes away]*

**Toon Citizen**: "Be careful not to get BRAIN FREEZE."

*[Arion soon walks into the ice cream shop, going up to the register.]*

**Arion**: *[Places money on the counter]* "A banana split please! Thank you!"

**Ice cream server**: "Oh, okay. Well, coming right up! Now-- are you.. allergic to peanuts?"

**Arion**: "Hm? What? No? Why would they put peanuts in a ban-" *[His phone starts ringing as he takes it out his pocket]* "Oh. I wonder why Nehemiah is calling.." *[He answers it]*

**Nehemiah**: "Arion! This is an emergency! Robert is on the toilet but he refuses to go unless you do the Poop Dance!"

**Robert**: "Poopie, poopie!"

*[Back to the ice cream shop, some kids start to giggle.]*

**Ice cream server**: "Poop Dance?"

*[Arion groans and holds the phone close to his ear.]*

**Arion**: "C'mon, I can't! I'm in public!"

*[Robert back at the castle starts throwing a tantrum.]*

**Robert**: "WAAAHHHHHH!!! ARION DANCE!! ARION DANCE!!”

*[Arion sighs and starts to dance.]*

**Arion**: “Oh, everybody poops. Everybody poops. It’s such a great hoot when you poop. So sit on down and give a little-“

**Nehemiah**: *[Slightly chuckles and plugs nose]* “Okay, Arion. He did it.. thanks!” *[He hangs up]*

*[Arion groans and covers his face. Some toon kids start to mimick his dance as he walks out of the shop.]*

**Arion**: “You know what, forget ice cream. I’m just gonna do something else… *[Groans and bumps into Zoe, Connor, Peter, and Paris]*

**Zoe**: “Ow! Wait.. Arion?”

**Arion**: “Sorry, Zoe. I was just passing by and-“

**Connor**: “Great timing, dude! We need your help! Can you-“

**Arion**: “No.”

**Connor**: “Wait, what? Why not? I didn’t even get to explain yet!”

**Peter**: “Yeah, we need your help getting our ball out of The Park. The gate is locked.” *[Peter shows Arion the gate. Arion looks at Peter, unamused]*

**Arion**: “You couldn’t just climb the gate? You’re that lazy?!”

**Peter**: “Well, um…”

**Arion**: *[Pushes Peter aside angrily]* "Move! Let me handle this!" *[Climbs the bars and gets to the top]* "Imma just jump. I don’t feel like climbing down. *[Jumps off but gets his pants caught. In a high pitched voice]* "Ahhhh! Don’t sit there! Help me up! Don’t leave me hanging! Please please somebody do something!" *[Falls oof, gets up]* "Ow…ow…ow…" *[Struggles to walk and grabs the ball. Turns around and gives the ball back]* "Here!" *[Gives it to Zoe]* "Now leave me alone!"

**Zoe**: "Arion, your pants…" *[Points to his pants pulled down]*

**Arion:** *[Blushes and pulls his pants up]* "You owe me big time!" *[Slaps Zoe and walks off]* "Hmph! Yuck that was disgusting! I feel I need to shower.." *[Sits by a pond]* "Finally, I can relax…and observe the gentle rhythm of the sea…" *[His phone rings again and loud music is heard coming from it]* "AHEM! GENTLE RYTHM!" *[Groans]* "Oh, nevermind." *[Answers]* "WHAT?! IM NOT SINGING THE SONG AGAIN!"

**Kameron**: "No, it’s not that again! Robert won’t stop blasting music! What do we do?"

**Arion**: "Are you kidding me?! Put him in time out!"

**Kameron**: "Oh, I did! But I’m not going anywhere near him again! I tried to hold him down and he bit me!"

**Arion**: "Look, offer him candy! He calms right down!"

**Kameron**: "Alright! I’m sure Nehemiah has some!"

**Arion**: "Just don’t give him peanut candy! He’s allerg-" *[Kameron hangs up]* "Dang it! Might as well text them." *[Phone dies]* "Crap. I’m sure Kameron won’t give him any peanut candy…heh…right…?"

*[Arion nervously puts his phone away]*

**Arion**: “You know what, it’s my day off. And I specifically left rules up on the refrigerator right when I left. So they really have no excuse, right?” *[Sweats nervously]* “Oh, screw it! I’ll go check on them.” *[Starts walking to the castle]* “What’s next? They’re gonna set the whole house on fire?” *[Laughs]*

*[Cuts to Kameron putting Robert to bed for his nap]*

**Kameron**: “Nap time, Robert.” *[Tucks him in]* “Now, please don’t set the place on fire” *[Turns off the light and leaves]*

**Robert**: “Getting kinda tired.” *[Yawns and falls asleep, snoring. Robert’s room and the entire Colors Castle spontaneously combusts and Arion tries to blow it out but it's a thought bubble, so it goes away. He rushes to the Colors Castle,, but stops.]*

**Arion**: “Oh, what am I doing? I’m just getting paranoid. Like be real, what are the odds- *[Turns around and walks away]* “Robert setting the whole house on fire!” *[Arion sees a fire truck, ambulance, and a police car drive past, shocked and scared]* “WHAT?!” *[Runs to The Colors Castle and busts in to see Kameron and Nehemiah cleaning up]* “Where’s Robert?”

**Kameron**: “Upstairs taking his nap. Why?” *[Arion dashes upstairs to check on him. He walks back down]*

**Arion**: “Sorry, sorry, I got paranoid…” *[Walks out of the castle]*

**Nehemiah**: “Don’t worry, Arion. We’ve got everything covered.” *[smiles] [The scene changes to show The Beach. Arion is trying to sit down on a beach town. He’s in his beach clothes]*

**Arion:** “Must... re…*[Cracks his back]* ...lax! *[Walks to the ocean and looks at his reflection]* “Look at yourself. You're losing it! Stop worrying so much, Arion. Now, repeat after me: You will not go back to the Colors Castle” *[His reflection turns into Robert]*

**Mirror Robert:** “I will destroy castle!” *[Arion screams and stomps the ocean and runs to the Colors Castle]*

**Arion:** “Robert! Kameron! Nehemiah! Channon! Light! Rodrick! Stevie!” *[Robert appears right next to him]*

**Robert:** “Did you finish?”

**Arion:** “No! *[Walks out]* “That's it. That's it. No matter what sick fantasies run through my mind, I will not go back home!” *[Walks into Fredrick’s Arcade then runs out towards the Colors Castle]*

**Fredrick**: *[Opens the doors]* “Hey, you forgot your milkshake!” *[Arion dashes into Robert’s room]*

**Robert:** “Did you finish day off?” *[Arion runs back to Toon Town then back to the Colors Castle]* ”Did you finish day off?” *[Arion runs back to Toon Town]* “Did you finish day off?” *[Arion runs to the Colors Castle]* “Did you finish day off?” *[Arion keeps running back and forth while Robert is repeating 'Did you finish day off?' Finally, Arion enters the Colors Castle and stops] ”*Did you finish day off? Did you finish day off? Did you finish day off? Did you finish day off?”

**Arion:** “No, I am not finished with my day off and I never will be! So quit checking up on me! I’m starting to regret and question my life decisions!” [*Walks up to Robert]* I know ***EXACTLY*** what you're up to. Forcing me to come back here every time you’re about to die!”

**Robert:** “But I’m not—“

**Arion**: *[Covers Robert’s mouth]* “Silence, little one! I know you’ll mess up eventually!” *[Steps back to the door]* “And when you do, I’m gonna kick some booty!” *[Slams the door]*

**Robert**: “But I wasn’t…”

*[Arion walks all the way up a hill and sits by a tree. Arion relaxes and sees Joy next to Haze, Micheal, Antonio, Lizzy, and Sofia]*

**Arion**: “Oh, hi Joy.”

**Joy:** “Hi, Arion! You got my text?”

**Arion**: “What text? My phone has been dead since this morning. I’ve been trying to get some alone time from Robert and the others. I have a headache”

**Joy**: “Oh, we were gonna invite you for-“

**Haze**: “It’s just a picnic. Nothing special honestly.”

**Antonio**: “I do like this spot. It’s oddly safe.”

**Lizzy**: “Well, we were actually going to go to a skate park. But, ***JOY***, decided against it. Hmph! *[Folds arms]*

**Sofia:** *[Giggles]* “Can little Robert do things without you?”

**Arion**: *[Scoffs]* “Oh, I’m sure! Most certainly he can manage without me!” [*Shakes and is a little unhinged. Sofia and Haze backup worried. Lizzy is busy eating a banana]*

**Joy**: *[Gives Arion a pineapple to eat]* “Here…”

**Arion**: “Oh, thanks! I’m eating SpongeBob’s house.” *[Looks around]* “I don’t have a blender, sorry…” *[Joy takes it]*

**Haze**: “Just relax. And get some rest.”

**Arion**: “Alright, Haze. I’ll try to-“ *[Sniffs]* “Hey, hold on. Do you smell something burning?” *[In the background, The Colors Castle explodes in flames. Robert, Kameron, and Channon is fired to where Arion and the others are standing.] “*WHAT THE-?!”

**Kameron**: “Uhh, hi.” *[Holds a happy, sleeping Robert]* “Hey, at least he’s taking another nap.”

**Arion**: *[facepalms]* “You know what, screw days off. I actually miss the little guy!” *[Hugs Robert]*

**Joy**: *[Eyes water]* “Aww!” *[The camera zooms out to show the giant tree crushing them. The episode ends]*
