Boom Baby

## Plot

Luis babysits Lucas, but he soon realizes there's something special about the baby.

### INT. THE COLORS CASTLE - LIVING ROOM - EVENING

[Stevie is sitting on the couch, reading a fantasy comic book. Lucas is nearby the couch, on a baby playmat, playing with the toys on it. Suddenly, Arion comes behind the couch.]

**Arion**: "Stevie! I was looking for you!"

**Stevie**: "Huh?"

**Arion**: "Wanna come to the arcade with us? Fredrick's having a party!"

**Stevie**: "A party?? Wow, that does sound fun! But..." [Looks at Lucas]

**Arion**: "What?" [Also looks at Lucas] "Ohh..."

**Stevie**: "You've left Robert alone many times before, right?"

**Arion**: "Stevie, Lucas is a baby. Robert is a toddler, who cannot do everything on his own. There's not much of a difference between them."

**Stevie**: "Ugh, well-" [Notices Luis walking by and gets an idea] "Ah, Luis!"

**Luis**: [Eating a chocolate bar] "Yeah? What do you morons want?"

**Stevie**: "I have a favor to ask.."

**Luis**: "A favorite what.."

**Stevie**: "Hm? No! I meant like a question."

**Luis**: "A favorite question?"

**Stevie**: "No.." [Sighs] "Could you maybe watch Lucas for a few hours??"

**Luis**: "A few hours?"

**Stevie**: "Yeah! Just a few hours."

**Luis**: "Hm. I don't know, Stevie. A few hours.."

**Stevie**: "How about for a few hours, i give you a few dollars. I'll give you 15 dollars!"

**Luis**: "Hm. Make it 10 and I'll take it."

**Stevie**: "What? Why'd you lower it?"

**Luis**: "10 sounds cooler."

**Stevie**: "Oh, okay then. If you watch Lucas, I'll give you 10 dollars. Maybe extra if you want it."

**Luis**: "Deal! Oh, before i forget. I have a very important, awesome, and spectacular question for you. How do you take care of a baby?"

**Stevie**: "...Don't you have a little sister?"

**Luis**: "Yea! but the storks took a long time to deliver her! So she isn't really a baby anymore. Jerks.."

**Stevie**: "Oh, my. That's weird. Well.." [Stevie and Luis walk over to Lucas] "All you have to do is watch him, feed him, change him, and entertain him. OH! He's allergic to lemons. It makes his stomach hurt."

**Luis**: [Writing on a clipboard] "Got that." [Takes glasses off]

**Stevie**: "What the hell was that-"

**Arion**: [In the doorway] "C'mon, Stevie!"

**Stevie**: "Oh. Thanks Luis!" [Bends down to Lucas and hugs him] "Bye lil' guy."

[Stevie gets up and walks away off-screen as Lucas drops his toy and his eyes welt up with tears. The front door then closes.]

**Luis**: "Hmm.." [Looks at Luis and sits down next to him] "Well, it's just me and you, kiddo. How are we gonna spend the day?"

**Lucas**: [Babbles] "Poopy."

**Luis**: [Suprised] "Well.. that is NOT what i wanted to hear.."

### INT. THE COLORS CASTLE - LIVING ROOM - EVENING

[Luis arranges some toys and puts them on the floor for Lucas. Lucas is laying on the floor, babbling and putting his foot in his mouth. As Luis plays classical music, the camera switches to Lucas, who sits up and stares in curiousity. He then starts scooting away on his knees off-screen. By the time Luis turns around, Lucas was gone.]

**Luis**: "Lucas? Oh no, where'd he go??"

### INT. THE COLORS CASTLE - DINING ROOM

[As Luis approaches the dining room, he notices Lucas babbling, while behind a large flower pot. Luis smirks.]

**Luis**: "Ohh you must be a mischievous rascal." [Baby voice] "I'm gonna getcha!"

[Luis playfully runs over to the flowerpor, picks it up, but Lucas is gone. He was very confused. He then looked near the fridge and saw Lucas drinking a baby bottle. He places the flowerpot down and puts a finger to his chin in thought.]

**Luis**: "How'd you do that? Well, I'm gonna call Stevie to see what's going on." [Dials on the phone] "Hey, Stevie? I just have a small question about the baby."

[As Luis is talking to Stevie, Lucas starts floating in the air.]

**Luis**: "No, I can take care of him! It's just that- Gah!" [Notices Lucas is gone] "What the hell is going on here??"

[Lucas is playing with his bottle on the ceiling, as Luis looks around.]

**Luis**: "Lucas?? Baby?? Where did you go??"

[Lucas giggles and opens the top of his bottle, as it splashes on Luis.]

**Luis**: "Where--" [Looks up and gets splashed with milk] "Agh!"

### INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

[Lucas is now in an upside down crib, as Luis is on the phone with Stevie again.]

**Luis**: "Stevie, there are something strange going on! Don't worry, Lucas is fine I promise!" [Lucas is gnawing on the bars of the crib] "I just need you to come over here and-" [Notices Lucas is gone again] "Ah! Damn it!"

[Luis looks around in confusion and sees Lucas on top of a tall bookshelf.]

**Luis**: "How'd you get u-" [Lucas leans over and falls off] "Gah!"

[Luis throws himself to catch Lucas, but Lucas phases through the floor. Luis quickly runs downstairs, as Lucas is phasing through the walls laughing. Luis trys to grab him, but fails twice. Luis then grabs him.]

### LIVING ROOM

Luis: "Okay, we're gonna calm things down now and play with some flashcards!" [Lucas bites the card, as Luis plays tug of war with him and takes the card away in anger] "Doesn't that sound fun??" [Lucas giggles as Luis holds up the card, holding a stressed look on his face.] "Triangle.."

**Lucas**: [Glares at him and makes a triangle with his hands, cooing]

**Luis**: "Good.." [Takes out another card] "House.."

**Lucas**: [Makes another triangle with hands and coos]

**Luis**: "Good.." [Holds up another card] "Campfire.."

[Lucas babbles and bursts into flames. Luis screams and starts backing away, as Lucas begins waddling around.]

**Luis**: "Gah! Don't panic! Baby on fire!"

[Luis grabs hold of large kitchen tongs and chases the laughing flaming baby around. He grabs hold of Lucas with the tongs, kicks the bathroom door open, and tries to put him out in the toilet. He stops quickly and notices the full bathtub. He then places him in the water, as steam covers the screen.]

**Luis**: "Good baby! Nice baby.."

### INT. THE COLORS HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

[The place looks burnt and a mess. Luis is tired and nearly falling asleep in a chair, as Lucas' babbling wakes him up]

**Luis**: "Sh\*t."

[Lucas babbles and plays with the toy blocks. He then sneezes and bursts into flames, giggling. Luis tiredly extinguishes him, as the tyke claps. Lucas continues playing with his blocks, until he sneezes again and lasers shoot out his eyes. Fortunately, Luis had a mirror and it reflected on the ceiling instead. Lucas coos and looks at Luis happily. Luis sighs. Suddenly the doorbell rings. Luis gets up and opens the door, holding a tired expression on his face.]

**Luis**: "Yea?" [Yawns]

**Orion**: "Hi, this is The Colors Castle right?"

**Luis**: [Stares at Orion] "Haven't I seen you before? You're the store-bought version of Arion, yea?"

**Orion**: "What? No of course not! I'm.. I'm the store-bought's twin brother! I'm friendly, I promise."

**Luis**: "He has a twin brother? How am I just now finding this out? Anyway.. what do you want? I'm babysitting right now.."

**Orion**: "Oh my, you look tired."

Luis: "Tell me about it. I'm taking care of a possessed baby."

**Orion**: "Possessed??"

**Luis**: "Look at him.."

[Luis points to Lucas, who is shooting mini lasers out of his eyes, as Lucas and Orion dodge the lasers. Lucas then stops and falls onto on his back, babbling happily.]

**Orion**: [Excited tone] "Wow, that's--" [Luis glares at him] "Oh, I mean, that's strange."

**Luis**: "You know, I feel like you are hiding something from me.."

**Orion**: "Like what?"

**Luis**: "Is Orion really your twin brother..?"

**Orion**: "Uh.. yes! Duh! Why do you ask??"

**Luis**: "Well, if his name is Orion, what's your name??"

**Orion**: [Freezes] "Uh.. um.. uh-- Well! Uhm.. eh.."

**Luis**: "..You don't even remember your own name?? Ohh you poor pathetic soul. Oh wait, you don't have a soul, yea? 'Cause you're a demon."

**Orion**: "Demons have souls too!"

**Luis**: [Incorrect buzzer sound] "Error. They don't."

**Orion**: "Do!"

**Luis**: "Don't."

**Orion**: "Do!"

**Luis**: "Do!"

**Orion**: "Don't- DAMN IT!"

**Luis**: [Laughs hard] "Got you!"

**Orion**: [Facepalms] "Kids like you make me wanna drown you."

**Luis**: "You mean suffocating by water? How does that even work.."

**Orion**: "OKAY. OKAY. Look, I'm Orion! I lied. I don't have a twin brother."

**Luis**: "I knew you didn't have one! You couldn't even handle a brother."

**Orion**: [Peeks inside] "Neither could you! The baby's gone!"

**Luis**: "What? What ba-" [Looks] "OH MY GOD!"

**Orion**: [Laughs] "Well, you're on your own with that." [Walks away]

**Luis**: [Growls and yells down the path] "YOU WERE INVOLVED IN THIS TOO, IDIOT!"

[Luis groans and frantically goes around searching the castle.]

**Luis**: "Lucas?? Lucas?? Come out little baby. Lucas??"

[Luis looks in the cabinets, the fridge, the toilet, a cookie jar, a hole, outside, and in a tree. But there's no sign of Lucas anywhere. That's until he hears babbling echoing throughout the castle.]

**Luis**: "Uhh- that's creepy. Lucas?? Where are you?? Hmm.." [Sees a cookie and picks it up, trying to prompt the baby] "I got a cookie for you! Cookie.."

[Suddenly, Lucas appears on the ground, making grabby hands for the cookie. Luis jumps in fear and stares at the infant.]

**Luis**: "Oh, you almost gave me a heart attack.." [Gives Lucas the cookie as he eats it] "You are a strange one."
