Based on The Pink Panther Cartoon from 1971; *The Pink Flea.*

## Party

* *[The camera zooms in on Crazy-Legs Crane, he is sitting depressed in the area in front of his home. The Twin Toads hop up.]*
* **Toro:** There, there, no need to be sad.
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** Yes, there is, Toads. The Pink Panther's been gone for two whole days.
* **Pancho:** Two whole days?!
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** Oh, why'd he have to go to Japan?! *[looks at his watch]* He won't be back for one more hour, 26 minutes and 47 seconds. I miss Pinky so much. His song, the way he paints in pink, his pink tail. *[Holds up The Blue Racer]*
* **Toro:** Crane, that's the Blue Racer. *[Crazy-Legs is shown holding the Blue Racer.]*
* **Blue Racer:** Put Me Down, or I Will Bite You! *[drops the Blue Racer and runs off]*
* **Pancho:** I sure do miss that cat.
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** But that does give me an idea. I'll throw Pinky of all welcome home parties! *[flies off]*
* *[The scene changes to show a montage of construction. Crazy-Legs Crane sneak into it with party supplies. The Inspector twirls the handle open and Deux-Deux start painting on a blue banner with light blue paint. The Blue Aardvark is pumping balloons. Snoopy ices a cake which reads "WELCOME HOME PINKY!"]*
* **Snoopy:** Ah. *[cake is shown, with two red hearts on the both sides of the of the word "Home." Snoopy sets the icing down. Elmo and Linus pulling ropes to hang a blue "WELCOME 'HOME' PINKY" banner with two poles. Balloons are hung as well as pink banners.]* We've readied this place for Pinky's arrival, which should be about... *[He looks at his watch]* ...Whoo, right now. *[The bus comes down the road, pulls up to The Pink Panther's house and stops. The door opens and The Pink Panther walks out, carrying a suitcase. Crazy-Legs and The Blue Aardvark run out and stop in front of The Pink Panther.]*
* **Crazy-Legs Crane:** Welcome home, Pinky, you know that we missed ya. *[Crazy-Legs giggles. They go inside Pinky's Home]* First, eat, then we'll play games, and then...
* **Pink Panther:** *[He notices the decorations the two had put up earlier]* Wow, guys. You two really know how to throw a party. *[The scene changes to show the three at the picnic table with cake.]*
* **Linus:** Snoopy and I made this cake especially for your return. *[Linus passes a slice of the cake to Pinky]*
* **Pinky:** This is gonna taste so good again. *[Eats the slice]*
* **Snoopy:** Well, something's making my skin crawl.
* **Linus:** Are you okay, Snoopy?
* **Snoopy:** I'm fine! *[A Bug jumps out of his body with his scratching, it goes onto Pink Panther's body and starts scratching]*
* **Linus:** Uh.. Hey, Pinky. Pinky. *[he pokes Pink's back, and holds up a pink box with a red ribbon on it]* Surprise! *[He sets it on the table]* Charlie and I chipped in and got ya' a little somethin' somethin'.
* **Pink Panther:** Aww, guys, you shouldn't have. *[he rips the wrapping and lid off of the box, and lifts up a Pink Colored Bikini Girl Figure]* A new figure? Boy, I sure can't wait to scratch this down punch mountain.
* **Crazy-Legs:** Uh, you're welcome, Pinky. Hey, uh, are you still up for some games?
* **Pink Panther:** *[Still scratching his neck]* Rashy sore. I mean, sure.
* **Snoopy:** *[The scene changes to show Snoopy with a baseball bat and Pink Panter scratching]* Ya ready? *[Pink Panther scratches his back]* And how 'bout now? You ready?
* **Pink Panther:** *[Snoopy hits The Pink Panther's back with the baseball bat]* Feels like something's biting me. *[Snoopy continues hitting until the flea jumps off The Pink Panther and lands on the ground].*
* **Snoopy:** I'm ashamed to say this, I seem to have picked up a flea. A flea is a dastardly little vermin that bites animals with fur. But this here flea collar will send the critter running. *[The Flea enters Sesame Street]*
* **Elmo:** *[laughs]* Tickles! Oh, this isn't so bad! *[flea bites him]* Ow! *[gasps]* Something bit me! Well I Should take care of this! *[Runs inside]*
* *[The Next Morning]*
* **Peppermint Patty:** Bad News, Chuck.
* **Charlie Brown:** What's That?
* **Big Bird:** One Flea has been attacking many characters with fur, and so I forced them to shave off their fur.
* **Charlie Brown:** Then What?
* **Big Bird:** Well, I Guess the Fur would grow back!
* *[Shows Elmo, who shaved his fur and wearing a bath robe.]*
* **Big Bird:** Luckily, Snoopy Got Rid of that Bug.
* **Charlie Brown: That's Great.**
