DEVICE CHIRPS

A full day of searching and still no Spooky.

Or any signs of Spooky activity! PHONE CHIMES

It seems the others have been equally as unsuccessful.

A Spooky on the loose that doesn't immediately cause trouble?

It makes no sense.

Is there any chance Phil was wrong about a new arrival?

I am never wrong.

So he just listens to us all the time now?

Correct.

I'd hate to miss out on anything important.

An excellent reminder that despite our evasive Spooky,

we have somewhere we need to be.

Let's just hope, for our friend's sake,

that the Spooky stays out of sight

and out of mind until after tonight. DEVICE CONTINUES CHIRPING

Ah, guys... A little help?

OMG.

Is that for me?

Surprise!

Ah, the baker.

Ed.

We've met before.

Yeah. 'Course we have.

Erm, this way. Please.

The piece de resistance.

Oh. Well, apart from the fireworks.

Hold the phone.

Did you say fireworks?

A full display at 11:11pm.

Timed perfectly to mark the exact moment

of my beautiful daughter's birth.

Hired the very best in the business.

Sup, nerds?

These two - in charge of literal explosives?

You did say you were the premier pyro technicians

in all of Sunny Valley.

Guaranteed to bring the boom.

Or your money back!

No, no. No refunds. My bad.

Ah... Fantastic place you got here.

Oh, thanks, Ted.

Oh, it's Ed. Yeah, 'course it is.

Hey, how are you at air hockey?

Youth group champion three years in a row.

Oh... Come with me.

Come with me.

Lessons by Abe Stewart & Jaime Arin

Yes!

Backpack Jess in the house.

Oh, careful. Let me help you.

You do know we're only here for one night, right?

I've got an early violin lesson tomorrow,

and Mum made me bring everything.

Oh, OK. I got that for you. Yep.

Wait... Ah... Whoops! Careful.

I got it. No, I'm grabbing...

OVERLAPPING SPEECH Cool. OK.

JESS GIGGLES

This is new.

Backpack Jess has proved a useful addition to our crew.

She's kicking Spooky butt.

Meteorologically.

He means metaphorically.

It's kind of a trial.

JESS GIGGLES

I brought my violin!

Good for you.

So, who thinks they can beat my birthday moves?

Derek? Erm...

I'm not really into competition any more.

I'm quitting all my teams.

Why? Long story.

HIGH-PITCHED GIGGLING

Are Skye and Ruby asleep?

Erm, hello.

This is a safe space for people who might get sensually overwhelmed.

Not a place to sleep!

Under-tens basketball team play really early on a Saturday.

They're probably just tired.

DOOR SHUTS Well, what do we think, guys?

Spookiness?

Because some kids are asleep at a party?

Exactly! Who sleeps at a sleepover?

We HAVE been searching for a Spooky all day.

Perhaps it has been here all along.

Why would it have come here?

Maybe it heard about Robina's super sweet B-day bash.

It is weird. It only just got dark,

and these two go bananas on the dance floor.

What about early basketball?

Oh, I just said that to make Robina feel better.

She seemed pretty annoyed.

Not as annoyed as she'll be if a Spooky ruins her party.

I'll do a recce.

Maybe take a trip to pizza town while I'm at it.

Laters, taters!

Oh!

Whoa! So you're the guy we've been looking for.

Sorry, dude, but this party is invite only.

You're actually kind of cute.

SPOOKY MEOWS

Hi.

Ha! Argh!

What was that?

WINNING BELL RINGS

Come on!

Five-all.

Oh, it's on.

All right, let's go.

Relax, Xene.

It's not like he'll have eaten all the pizza.

With respect, I've known Bert a lot longer than you have,

and it's entirely possible that he has.

In fact, at my eighth birthday party, he...

Bert?

Wake up, doofus.

Mmrgh! Chill the moose.

Maybe you were right about it being Spooky, Backpack Jess.

Or maybe he's just in a food coma.

OK. Maybe not. BERT SNORES

Robina will freak if she catches anyone else napping.

She wants this party to be perfect.

Shall we warn her we may have a Spooky gate-crasher?

No way.

She's made it pretty clear

she doesn't want to hear about Spooky stuff ever again.

And we owe it to her to make this the best birthday ever.

We'll just have to handle the Spooky ourselves and...

HUMMING

Backpack Jess, what are you doing?

He's making a really funny noise.

HUMMING, GURGLING

TOOTING

THEY GROAN

Even in his slumber, he manages to be alarmingly potent.

But it's not that.

It was more like humming.

Everyone in here - now. I'm about to perform.

Derek, get him up.

I've got an idea.

HUMMING CONTINUES

Yo, what's up? Yo, shindig's out that way, squirts.

What are you doing in here?

Erm, going to watch a scary movie.

Sleepover tradition.

Mm-hm. Why is the small, annoying one wearing sunnies?

Because you're about to detonate what I can only assume is

a barely legal amount of potassium nitrate.

You bet your sweet bippy we are.

Then surely eye protection is a must.

Isn't that right, Bert?

Mm-hm.

All right. What about these two, then?

Party poopers.

Oh, yeah. Oh, it's a game.

Sleeping lions - and they're winning.

Kids.

No idea how to party.

Marbles, crosswords.

Yeah. Those were the days.

All right, let's go blow some stuff up.

Yeah, let's do it. Yeah.

All right, you guys stay here and keep an eye

on sleeping Bertie and his mates.

Xene, you and I better find this Spooky

before it takes anyone else out.

Why are you looking in here?

Aren't we trying to catch the Spooky?

Eureka!

I smuggled it in.

Fortuitous, it would seem.

DEVICE WHIRS

Just as we suspected. DEVICE CHRIPS

Now to follow the signal.

Love Fever by Matthew Goodman

Another one?!

Bins isn't buying it.

We're going to have to up our game.

Ro...bina! Ro...bina!

Ro...bina! Ro...bina!

FIL, any tips on how to defeat a sleep Spooky?

Oh, so now you want my advice?

In addition to portal camouflage and doorbell services.

That's not helpful.

You are not helpful.

Don't take it personally.

He's still grumpy that Mum and Dad decommissioned him

along with the particle accelerator.

I've seen things you people would not believe.

Attack ships on fire.

We're about to do karaoke.

And...

What are you doing?

Oh. Hey, Beens.

Just a bit of self-care.

Didn't think that kind of thing was your bag, Khaled.

Oh, he can't hear you.

He's listening to some affirmations.

What kind of affirmations?

Oh, you know, "I am strong,

"I am capable.

"I am good at making stuff up on the spot."

JESS GIGGLES

HIGH-PITCHED GIGGLING

What the heck is that?

And what's it doing at my party?

SPOOKY GIGGLES, SQUEALS

Derek, go out there and catch it.

Wait a minute, we might be safer in here.

Is it singing?

I'm ALLERGIC to seafood!

I thought you knew that. I get... I get hives.

A terrible rash. SPOOKY SINGS LULLABY

I'm going outside.

No! No, no. Wait.

I think we need to take the fireworks outside.

Yeah.

I'll see you out there.

Ya... Ooh!

I forgot the stuff.

Ah!

SPOOKY SQUEALS

SPOOKY SQUEALS

And yet again, you guys keep leaving me out of stuff,

which is like, twice as hurtful on my actual birthday!

That's why, Beens. We didn't want it to ruin your party.

SPOOKY SQUEALS IN DISTANCE Well, it has.

And if you'd included me in the first place,

maybe everybody wouldn't be sound asleep right now

and missing out on my whole birthday!

GROANING

Erm...guys?

GROANING

Are they waking up?

Not exactly.

Cake.

They're sleepwalking.

Cake. Cake.

Are they saying cake?

So first it puts them to sleep,

and now it turns them into cake-eating zombies?

Quick, get to the kitchen.

ZOMBIES GROAN

Barricade the door.

We have to block this entrance, too.

Ah! Guys, what's the plan?

We can't hold them off forever.

Trust me.

We throw down some gold class A-1 fireworks

and a super sweet laser show,

this dude's going to book us

on every event from now until his daughter turns 84 billion.

I don't know, John.

I wonder if we should be doing fireworks when we're...

HE HESITATES

..really, really old.

ZOMBIES GROAN

Cake.

Should we just give it to them?

No! This evening has sucked enough as it is.

They are not eating my cake

before I've even had a chance to blow out the candles.

It's OK.

We just need to think.

I mean, at least it can't get any worse, right?

SQUEALING

Cake. Cake.

Cake. Cake. They're going to break through!

Cake. Cake. Cake.

ROBINA SCREAMS

Cake!

It got Billie and Xena as well!

Oh, man, we're in such deep doo-doo.

Cake!

But Billie's vegan.

This isn't her.

It's the Spooky! It's controlling them.

Cake!

I know you're still in there, Bill.

We're going to fix this, I promise.

OK, so how do we fix it?

ZOMBIES HUM

Listen.

So what? They just keep saying, "Cake."

No.

Not that.

ZOMBIES HUM

I've got it.

Can you touch the ground?

Almost.

Are you sure about this, BPJ?

What choice do we have?

There's a reason the Spooky Crew want you to join them.

Don't let them down.

Good luck.

Made it!

I told you lasers were too much. ELECTRICITY ZAPS

You've overloaded the system!

It's basic science.

Oi, didn't you fail science?

No. I got an E -

Is it cake time yet?

Wait, who won karaoke?

Why does my face feel slippery?

Is everyone OK?

I think I speak for all when I say,

"What the snooze alarm just happened?"

JESS PANTS Backpack Jess happened.

And that's when I played my violin and put the Spooky to sleep.

Backpack Jess, I have to say,

your solution to our Spooky problem was nothing short of inspired.

Erm, yeah.

I think we can officially say you're done with your trial period.

You mean that I'm in the Crew?

For really realsies?

We literally couldn't have done it without you.

SHE GIGGLES

Boomshaka?

Boomshaka!

Everything go smoothly while I was smashing Ned at air hockey?

Erm... Smoother than a boiled egg with peanut butter.

Smooth peanut butter.

Not crunchy.

Obviously, John.

Nailed it.

OK, everyone, it's almost exactly 13 years to the second

that my perfect baby girl was born.

So here we go, in five...

Four, three, two, one...

Happy birthday, Robina!

CHEERING

Mega-happy birthday, Beens.

Sorry if we made you feel left out - again.

We sincerely believed you were no longer interested

in Spooky shenanigans.

I'm not. I was just feeling weird and jealous.

You know we'll always be friends, right?

No matter what.

Outside of Spookies, Bert and I have wildly different interests.

That has never stopped us from being BFFs.

I guess I just had FOMO.

Fear of missing out? On your own party?

Hello? I could have fallen asleep.

Thanks for saving my party, Jess.

You and your violin rock.

Speaking of rocking, I got to hit the dance floor.

Come on, everyone, dance time.

MUSIC BLASTS

We'd better check on the Spooky.

The name's Snoozy.

Comfiest bed ever.

SNOOZY SNORES Endless fun can be tiring -

even for Spookies.

FOMO!

Maybe that's why the Spookies don't want to go home.

They don't want to miss out on all the awesomeness

we've got going on here.

You guys coming to dance?

For me?

You shouldn't have.

Robina! No, wait, that's not... No, wait...

It's a great colour.

Eh?

Perfect for outdoor ed.

Thanks, BPJ.

Oh, and sustainability check -

make sure you re-use this empty box.

Party time!

Heavens to Betsy! Did it escape?

SNOOZY SNORES SOFTLY

Wait, do you stop seeing Spookies when you turn 13?

We know grown-ups can't see Spookies.

Does 13 count as a grown-up?

Guys, I turn 13 in a couple of weeks!

What if I can't see Spookies any more?

That's not going to happen.

I'm afraid that hypothesis could be correct.

Well, we'll just figure out why the Spookies don't want to go home

and fix it before your birthday.

It'll be OK, sis.

We're the Spooky crew.

We can do anything.

You guys coming before I turn 14?

Now let's go tear up the dance floor.

Oh, yeah! Yeah!

Whoo! Uh-huh. Ooh-ooh!
