Under The Bed

## Plot

Robert has horrifying nightmares about his friends trying to kill him and he soon becomes afraid of them.

## Script

[A tired Arion is in Robert’s room, putting him in his crib. He yawns as he puts the blanket on Robert.]

Arion: “It’s time to go to bed, little bro.”

Robert: [Sits up] “Wanna stay up! Teddy bear!”

Arion: [Sighs] “Okay, okay.” [Grabs Robert’s teddy bear and gives it to him, and ticks him in] “You can keep your teddy bear in your crib if you go to sleep. Okay?”

Robert: “Okay!” [Closes eyes and hugs teddy bear] “Night night, brother.”

Arion: [Smiles, and rubs his head] “Goodnight, Robert.” [Turns the light off and goes off to bed]

[Later, Robert is sleeping, but a dark figure keeps running around in his room. His eyes are closed but he’s twisting and turning, mumbling. He lifts his arms up in the air.]

Robert: “No, no..”

[A close-up of Robert’s sleeping face is shown, as his eyes open. He sits up in his crib and looks around. He’s not in his room anymore and his crib is in the middle of darkness. He sees a silly clown making funny faces as he giggles a little bit. Suddenly, something taps on his shoulder. He turns around and sees monstrous versions of Arion, Kameron, Nehemiah, Joy, Light, Channon, and even Rosie! He gasps and backs away in his crib, hugging his teddy bear in fear.]

Robert: “Friends??”

Monster Rosie: “We have no friends here.. only dinner.”

Monster Arion: “Yes! And you are next on the menu!”

Robert: “No, no! You can’t eat me! Robert not edible!!!”

Monster Nehemiah: “Oh, you will be today.”

[The monsters all reach their monster hands out to Robert while laughing and cackling evilly. Robert starts to scream while clinging onto his teddy bear, as it zooms into his mouth while he’s screaming. It zooms out as he is picked up out of his crib. Arion holds him, as Robert stops screaming.]

Arion: “Robert?? What’s wrong?? Why were you screaming??”

[Robert shivers in fear and starts babbling. Arion understands him.]

Arion: “What? Scary monsters? Me? My friends? [Robert nods] That’s impossible! I’m not a monster, Robert. I’m your heroic big brother. Don’t worry, Robert. It was just a dream.”

[Arion hugs Robert and then tucks him back into his crib, giving him his teddy bear.]

Arion: “There’s no monsters, Robert. I promise.” [He rubs his head and smiles. Robert smiles back.]

Robert: “Okay..”

Arion: “Goodnight, lil’ bro.” [Turns the light off and leaves again]

[Robert lays there in slight fear, hugging his teddy bear.]

Robert: “Arion no monster. Friends no monster. Robert is safe in bed.”

[A close-up of Robert’s face as he closes his eyes. He hears demonic laughing as his eyes open. He sits up, hugging his teddy bear in fear. An evil Alfred is floating above Robert’s crib. He looks creepy, as Robert starts to whimper.]

Robert: “Alfie!”

Monster Alfred: “Ohh, there’s no Alfie. Only food! And that’s you!”

[Alfred grabs hold of Robert’s neck, as Robert’s room disappears and they are floating in dark redness. Robert is terrified now.]

Monster Alfred: “It is time for you to die, Robbie! Huh. Robbie. Kind of like.. Robber! Hahahaha!! You’re a fool, Robber!! DIE!!”

Robert: “NOOOO!!!”

[Close-up to Arion flicking Robert’s light-switch on, to see Robert is his crib crying and hugging his teddy bear.]

Arion: “Oh, Robert..” [Sighs, picks him up] “Okay, okay. You can sleep in my room tonight.”

[Arion turns the light off and takes Robert to his room. Under Robert’s crib, a small toddler hand comes out. Alfred comes out, holding something in his hand. A close up shows a red orb. It is a “Nightmare Ball”. He chuckles, and crawls back under the bed.]
