## Script

*[The scene opens up to a small campsite. There are a few tents, a few outdoor activities, and a lake; The narrator speaks.]*

**Narrator**: “Today we start with a rather fun adventure with Arion and his friends. They’re going camping today!”

*[Arion is shown setting up their tent with Joy; Kameron and Stevie are throwing rocks; Kenny is examining the lake water; Robert and Karen are watching bugs. Lastly, Block has somehow made a fire and he exclaims, “Mine!”. The camera goes back to Arion.]*

**Narrator**: “It seems like Arion’s gonna have a lot of fun today!” *[Arion looks annoyed as he rolls his eyes]* “Oh, I wonder why the long face? It must be hard going on an adv—“

**Arion**: “Could you just stop? Please?”

**Narrator**: “Oh! Oh, my bad.. i’ll go.”

**Arion**: *[Sighs]* “Thank you.” *[They finish the tents]* “Okay, now we’re finally done. Let’s gather the others and then we can go talk to the campsite guy.”

**Joy**: “You got it, babe.”

**Arion**: “Alright, I’ll go get the others.”

*[The camera shows Stevie and Kameron. They are staring down at the lake and then look at each other.]*

**Kameron**: “So, who’s gonna jump in first?”

**Stevie**: “Well, it’s obviously gonna be me.”

**Kameron**: “Well, that is if i can jump in faster than you.”

**Stevie**: “In your dreams.”

**Nehemiah**: “Actually, neither of you can jump in. You haven’t even brought your bathing suits!”

**Stevie & Kameron**: “So?”

**Nehemiah**: “Plus, what if there’s crocodiles?”

**Stevie**: “I could fight a crocodile.”

**Kameron**: “No you can’t. You’re too short.”

**Stevie**: “I am literally one inch shorter than you, Kameron.”

**Kameron**: “Whatever! I’m still taller!”

**Nehemiah**: “Okay guys, enough arguing. You guys can get into that water if you want to, but don’t say i didn’t warn ya.” *[He walks away, as Stevie and Kameron look at each other with smirks.]*

*[The others are now getting their hiking stuff ready. Stevie and Kameron are both soaking wet from the lake packing their things, Kenny has taken a water sample from the lake and is examining it, Arion has Robert on his back in a toddler carrier harness, Nehemiah, Light, and Karen are all putting on life-jackets.]*

**Stevie**: “Why do you guys need those??”

**Nehemiah**: “For safety.”

**Stevie**: “Oh, brother.”

*[As the crew got their things ready, the campsite manager jumped out in front of them, which startled them. He had a jolly smile on his face.]*

**Campsite Manager**: “Greetings youngsters! Welcome to my campsite. Camp Camel! My name is Mr. Camel.”

*[Stevie snickers a bit. Arion looks at him confused.]*

**Stevie**: “Camel..” *[He snickers more as Arion rolls his eyes]*

**Mr. Camel**: “Boy, you kiddies must be tired! Well, lucky for you, I have my camp wagon!” *[Everything goes silent, as leaves blow. The crew looks confused. Mr. Camel sweats.]*

**Mr. Camel**: “Hehe.. one second.. kiddies.” *[He whistles with two fingers, and then a joyful horse approaches, carrying the wagon on his saddle. Everyone gasped in awe.]* “This is little missy! She helps me a ton! Isn’t that right, missy?” *[He pets her as she neighs]*

**Stevie**: “Funny question, why have a horse on a campsite?”

**Mr. Camel**: “Good question!” *[He pauses]* “I have no clue. Anyways, hop along kiddies!” *[He jumps on little missy. The kids get into the wagon as they all head off to explore around the camp.]*

*[Later, near the evening, Mr. Camel and the kids are gathered around the campfire.]*

**Mr. Camel**: “Hey kiddies, get your marshmallows. I’ve got spooky stories to tell.”

**Joy**: “Mm.. are they REALLY spooky?? I don’t know if the littlest ones can handle it..”

**Light**: “I think Karen can handle it..”

**Arion**: “I’m not sure Robert will take it well. He might have an accident.” *[Robert is fast asleep.]* “Oh. Well, he won’t hear it. He’s asleep.”

**Mr. Camel**: “I see. Well, then. Should i carry on with the story?”

*[The kids all nod in excitement.]*

**Stevie**: “Are there dead people in it?” *[Arion nudges his arm]* “Ow! Just a question..”

**Mr. Camel**: “We shall see, youngster..” *[He got slightly closer to them.]* “Once upon a time..” *[The scene transitions to a normal looking playground.]* “There was a brother and his sister. Andie and Ava. They both LOVED the playground. They would go there every single day just to play together. It was their happy place. One day, Ava said, “Andie, we should go try the toy telephone! We get to talk to each other in funny voices.” [Andie thought for second, until he then agreed.] “Okay, Ava. Let’s go be silly.” Then… they both went to play with the phones. Ava got on one side, Andie on the other. They were pretending to prank call each other. ‘This is Krab’s Anchor, what can i get you??’ Andie chuckled. ‘Do you serve BODIES there?’ ‘W-what?? No way! We serve normal food here!’ ‘Oh, well— I was just wondering. Do you serve ICE CREAM there??’ ‘Yes, we serve ice cream here. Would you like that?’ ‘Yes!’ ‘What flavor?’ There wasn’t a response… he asked again. ‘What flavor, m’am?’ Andie was getting worried. ‘Ava? You there?’ Andie walked to the other side of the playground phone, only to see his sister missing and her bow on the ground. ‘Ava!’ He gasped in shock, picking up her bow. ‘Ava.. the game is over. Please come out.’ Nothing. ‘A-ava..?’ Andie never saw his little sister again. The end.”

*[Light is shivering in fear. The other kids are somewhat amazed. Block is trying to steal a marshmallow from Joy.]*

**Kameron**: “They never found her??”

**Mr. Camel**: “Nope!”

**Arion**: “Wow. That must be scary for the brother.”

**Mr. Camel**: “It sure was.” *[Notices Stevie is gone]* “Hey, where’s.. the little red cap kid?”

**Kameron**: “Huh— Where is he?”

*[They hear a sneeze come from a red tent. They look inside and see Stevie nearly under the covers.]*

**Arion**: “Stevie?”

**Stevie**: “I was just— Tired! Yeah, i was really tired and wanted to take a nap! Do you mind??”

**Kameron**: “Are you sure you wasn’t just scared of the story?”

**Stevie**: “Me?? Scared?? No way. I told you guys i’m just tired!”

**Kameron**: “Hehe. Yeah right. Anyways, I’m off to bed. *[Walks out to tent towards a green one.]* C’mon, Bloc— Stop eating the tree branches, Block! Ugh..”

Block: “Yummy!” *[Goes into tent with Kameron]*

Arion: “I should get to bed too. Goodnight Stevie. *[Sees Light sit down]* “And goodnight light I guess? What about Karen?”

Light: “Oh, can she sleep with you, Robert, and Joy?” *[Smiles]*

Arion: “Well, Ookayy. Goodnight.” *[Leaves the tent.]*

*[Light looks at Stevie. Stevie looks at her confused.]*

Light: “I know you were freaked out about that story. I was too. I’ll stay here with you if you want.”

Stevie: “Really? You were scared too?”

Light: “Yeah! It gave me the heebie jeebies. Hehe. I just stayed for the marshmallows.”

*[They both laughed nervously.]*

Stevie: “Well.. could you not tell anyone? I don’t wanna seem like a coward..”

Light: “Well, it’s okay to be scared sometimes, Stevie. Don’t let Kameron get to your head, he’s just joking I know.”

Stevie: “Well.. if you say so.” *[Yawns]* “Well, i’m gonna get some shuteye. Goodnight, Light.” *[Lays down and closes eyes. Light smiles, and lays down as well.]*

Light: “Goodnight, Stevie.”

*[Later on, everyone is fast asleep. The wind is blowing, and there is a lantern near the fire pit for light. Stevie hears a tree branch cracking as his eye opens. He immediately shoots upwards.]*

Stevie: “Huh?? What was that?”

Light: *[Yawns and wakes up]* “What?”

Stevie: “I heard a noise..”

Light: “It might have been the wind.”

Stevie: “No, no. It wasn’t. I heard it.”

Light: “What did it sound like??”

Stevie: “I don’t know— a monster?”

Light: “I know monsters are kinda real— but i’m sure none are in his area.”

Stevie: “Maybe…” *[He peeks his head out the tent, shivering a little]*

Light: *[Whispers]* “Stevie! What are you doing??”

Stevie: *[Whispers back]* “I’m just— checking what’s out here.”

Light: “What if something gets you??”

Stevie: *[Freezes at the thought; then sighs]* “I gotta face my fears.”

Light: “Well.. i’m coming too.”

*[They both slowly come out the tent. Light holds Stevie’s hand, as they carefully walk around.]*

Light: “You see anything??”

Stevie: “No, not yet.” *[He grabs the lantern]* “I know what i heard.”

*[They go further, almost the woods. They hear a little girl’s laugh; Freezing in fear.]*

Light: “S-stevie?? You hear that??”

Stevie: “Of, c-course I do… just— just don’t move.”

*[Footsteps come closer; and closer… as Stevie and Light are whimpering in fear. Suddenly, a ghost looking girl jumps out of nowhere and in front of them making scary noises, as Stevie and Light scream in fear, run into the tent and zipped it. The girl soon takes off a mask, revealing Karen in it, as she winks at the audience. The episode ends.]*
