When she turns to the source of the voice, she just sees a dirty douche, and picks it up out of curiosity. Laura then cleans the douche up and goes to sleep. She is suddenly awakened when the douche comes to life and tells Laura his story. Laura doesn’t know why she can see Douche come to life…until she realizes that she has a toothpick stuck in her foot, which was tainted with bath salts. She also has never had any real friends since elementary school because she is too shy, and Douche is able to become her friend and guides her through the challenges she encounters throughout her freshman year of college.

Annapura Pictures-None

Point Grey Pictures-We see a journal that is just like the one Laura uses and an animated douche inside the desk as it closes, and we see an animated sketch on the desk of some sort of big party with humans. Douche busts though the doors of the dance hall, and drinks what is supposedly alcohol that is in a punch bowl, making him juice up, while the partygoers stare at him. The rectangle is drawn as Douche begins to dance with the other partygoers.
