*(INTRO PLAYS.)*

## Scene 1

*(MINDMASHING CANDIDATE is doing homework.)*

**MindMashing Coordinator:** Hello, MindMashing Candidate. What are you doing?

**MindMashing Candidate:** I'm doing homework and research on these characters. I'm looking for 2 cats and 2 dogs to draw as 2 birds and 2 fish.

**MindMashing Coordinator:** Oooh!!!! This sounds interesting! Hey, why don't you try to look up fictional cats and dogs that you can draw as birds and fish?

**MindMashing Candidate:** That sounds like a GREAT... *[a loud crashing noise is heard]* What was that?!

**MindMashing Coordinator:** I don't know! It can't be... *[gasps]* KID NASTEE!!!!!!!!

*[KID NASTEE is throwing a tantrum!]*

**MindMashing Coordinator:** *[angry]* CANTOR MAKER BENSYN!!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???!!!!!

**Stacy:** *[crying]* Kid Nastee hit me!

**MindMashing Coordinator:** Kid Nastee! You know you should never hit a girl for any reason!

**Kid Nastee:** *[angry]* I only hit her because she broke my Nintendo DSi!

**Stacy:** I didn't mean to! Besides, it's just a DSi! It's old and dusty and 20 years obsolete.

**Kid Nastee:** ***WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!***

**Stacy:** I said...

*[The phone rings. MINDMASHING CANDIDATE picks it up and answers.]*

**MindMashing Candidate:** Yello?

**Copyright Owner:** Hello, are you Cantor Maker Bensyn?

**MindMashing Candidate:** Ummm... no. I'm MindMashing Candidate. Hold on... Kid Nastee, there's a call for you!

**Kid Nastee:** Hello?

**Copyright Owner:** Hello, Cantor Maker Bensyn. I regret to inform that you are illegally residing in a hotel that you have not paid to live in. You owe $50 dollars in overdue fees, and when this call is over, you have 15 minutes to leave the property before you go to prison.

**Kid Nastee:** *[scared]* PRISON?! NO!!!!! I CAN'T GO TO PRISON!

**Copyright Owner:** That's not to mention you have tampered with and ruined characters from NUMEROUS intellectual properties, monetizing your illicit species changes of your characters, downgrading characters that are mammals into animals that are not, and trying to substitute a hedgehog for a bird.

**Kid Nastee:** WHAT?! How much do I owe in royalty payment?

**Copyright Owner:** Hmm... Your bill is exceedingly costly. I've read your bill sheets and...

**Kid Nastee:** Wait... I have more than one bill sheet?!

**Copyright Owner:** Yes, you do. Goodbye, and I'll see you in Hendersonville.

*[They hang up.]*

**Kid Nastee:** *[frantic]* The time. Okay, it's 11:24 A.M. So, we have until 11:39 P.M. to get out of here.

**MindMashing Coordinator:** But we haven't even drawn out our characters yet! We haven't even worked out a plan yet! Let's see... so... we spent the week in Los Angeles drawing birds and fish as cats and dogs... but we haven't drawn cats and dogs as birds and fish! We haven't even chosen out characters yet!

**MindMashing Candidate:** *[worried]* If we don't choose our characters, we won't get the drawing done on time and we'll be thrown in the slammer!

**Kid Nastee:** I do not want to share a cell with Stacy!

**MindMashing Candidate:** *[worried]* What are we gonna do?!

**Kid Nastee:** Don't worry, Candidate. Look what I stole back from the Spanish. *[It's another DSi]*

**Stacy:** *[shocked]* Wait... you have more than one of those?!

**Kid Nastee:** Of course, it's like yogurt. You never know when you'll need another helping. *[The DSi melts.]*

**Stacy:** Umm... I think it *is* yogurt.

**Kid Nastee:** *[angry]* HAVE YOU BEEN EATING THE DSI?!

**MindMashing Candidate:** Sorry, sir. Stress makes me hungry.

**Kid Nastee:** NOW what are we going to do?!

**Stacy:** There's only one thing TO do. Good thing I brought this phone!

**MindMashing Candidate:** YES!

**Stacy:** And I have great news! I found 2 cats and 2 dogs that I KNOW we'll have fun drawing!

**MindMashing Candidate:** *[excited]* Really?! I can't wait! Show us, Stacy! SHOW US NOW! *[But it's NOT awesome. MINDMASHING CANDIDATE is infuriated]* I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! RUFF AND REDDY?! THAT SHOW IS TRASH! AND TIMMY TIME?! THAT SHOW DOESN'T EVEN EXIST IN AMERICA?! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!

**Stacy:** Sorry, they were the first characters I spotted. Kid Nastee, you work with Reddy.

**Kid Nastee:** *[overjoyed]* YES! Finally! I don't get a weak character! Follow your dreams, kids, they really do come true!

**Stacy:** MindMashing Candidate, you work with Ruff.

**MindMashing Candidate:** *[pants like a dog, pretends to eat his shoe, and then howls, before STACY dumps a cup of water on him]* What now?

**Stacy:** Sorry, wrong species. MindMashing Coordinator, you work with Ruffy.

**MindMashing Coordinator:** Okay!

**Stacy:** I'll work with Mittens! Okay, folks, let's move! It's DEFCON 3!

**Kid Nastee:** Wait a minute... *[angry]* STACY, YOU TRICKED ME! REDDY IS STUPID, DUMB AND OVERWEIGHT!!!!!!! I WANT A DIFFERENT CHARACTER.

**Stacy:** No, Kid Nastee. I chose your character, and we're sticking with it!

**Kid Nastee:** WHY CAN'T I BE RUFFY?! I WANNA BE RUFFY!

**Stacy:** We do not have time to argue over who draws which character! It takes 5 minutes for us to pack up and leave, so we have 10 minutes to draw these characters, let's get started! We don't have all day!

## Scene 2

*(The crew hurries out.)*

**Copyright Owner:** Hey, get back here!

**MindMashing Coordinator:** *[angry]* NO!!! NEVER!!!!

**Kid Nastee:** Let's build the number 1. Press the button!

*(MINDMASHING CANDIDATE presses the "1" button.)*

**MindMashing Candidate:** *[frantically]* Let's go!

*(They run past a bunch of people.)*

**MindMashing Candidate:** Oops, coming through! Pardon! ‘Scuse us! Coming through! Hey, that shirt looks nice on you, Dana.

**Kid Nastee:** Oops, excuse me! Oof, pardon! I beg your pardon! Sorry, sorry, oops, 'scuse me... sorry, madman chasing us.

**Stacy:** Ooh, ‘scuse us! Ooh, sorry about that! Gotta get somewhere. ‘Scuse me, being chased. Watch those toes!

**MindMashing Coordinator:** Oh, coming through, excuse me! ‘Scuse us! Pardon me! Coming through, gotta get out of here! Sorry! Coming though!

**Copyright Owner:** YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T GET AWAY!

*(Wrong. They manage to get out of the hotel and skateboard to the airport.)*

**Copyright Owner:** They're gone. *[yelling]* THIS ISN'T OVER YET!

**Hotel Resident 1:** What are you yelling at?

**Copyright Owner:** These crazy North Carolinians. They've gone mad, they're getting away!

**Hotel Resident 2:** You're crazy.

**Copyright Owner:** No, I'm NOT!!!! I SWEAR!!!! Oh, whatever. FINE! DON'T BELIEVE ME! YOU'LL BE SORRY! AND TEAM MINDMASH, THIS ISN'T OVER!!!!!!!! I'LL GET YOU!!!!!!! I'LL COME TO NORTH CAROLINA AND GET YOU!!!!!!!!!
