Cuddles Needs cuddles Part 1/Transcript

It's another great day in Downtown City, the scene cuts to Littlest Pet Shop, where Mitzi is reading the Harry Potter series.

Mitzi: lemme' tell ya, this series is great.

Sunil: I would say so.

Mitzi: Isn't this series a movie as well?

Sunil: pretty sure it is.

Mitzi: cool!

Russell: I wonder where Captain Cuddles is, cause he hasn't showed up, and he has never missed a day before.

Minka: yeah, very unusual.

(The scene cuts to Captain Cuddles and his owner in their car, stuck on some railroad tracks.)

C.Cuddles's owner: man, hope we can still make it to LPS. Your friends are probably waiting for you.

Cuddles hops out of his carrier to get some air.

The car sputters again.

C.Cuddles's Owner: Gosh darn it.

(Suddenly, the railroad crossing bells ring and the stop arms come down.)

C.Cuddles's Owner: Uh oh. Cuddles, get away from the tracks!

(Cuddles runs behind the barriers and watches his owner attempt to drive his car off the tracks.)

(The train Conductor sees the car.)

Conductor: Jim? Jim!!!

Engineer: Huh?

(He too sees the car)

Engineer: Oh my goodness! (Throws the train into emergency)

(The train honks it's horn twice, to no avail.)

C.Cuddles's Owner: Come on!

(Back in the train)

Conductor: Why aren't we stopping?!

Engineer: Too much speed! Too much weight!!

(The Engineer lays on the horn with no effect.)

(Cuddles fearfully glances at the approaching train, then back at his owner.)

(Cuddles's owner looks at the train, and freezes as the train slams into the car at full force, dragging it down the tracks.)

(A random motorist stops)

Driver: someone call 911!!

(The camera cuts to the train's wheels grinding to a halt.)

(The sound starts to fade as we hear the sound of emergency vehicles approaching)

Captain Cuddles: Monsieur!!! Monsieur!!!

(The screen fades to a pitch white and the sound cuts out completely)

(The scene cuts back to Littlest Pet Shop, where the pets have no idea what had happened)

Sunil: well, I guess we can all assume Captain isn't coming today.

The bell on the pet shop door rings as Phil walks in with a pet carrier

Russell: hey guys, it's Phil. And he's got a pet carrier.

Mitzi: Huh? That's weird. I don't usually get picked up until 4.

Russell then sees Phil talking to Mrs T, only to find them both in shock.

Russell:  they are both upset about something.

Pepper: please don't tell me that Largest Ever is taking over!

Phil then walks in with a sad tone.

Phil: can I talk to you guys for a second?

Russell: Sure. What's going on?

Phil: (softly) I was driving over to the store okay, then all of a sudden, I see this car get hammered by a train.

Zoe: Oh my goodness. Is everyone okay?

Phil: Unfortunately, no. The driver was killed on impact. And the driver happend to be... (sighs sadly) it happened to be Captain Cuddles's owner.

All: (Gasp)

Phil: yeah. So I thought it would be best to bring Captain here. I thought it might help take his mind off of the accident.

Phil opens the carrier door, and Captain Cuddles slowly walks out of it, and sadly stares at the pets. Phil leaves.

Russell: Captain Cuddles, if there is anything you need, we are here for you. Okay?

Captain slowly walks over and hugs Russell

Captain then lays down on a bean bag, isolated from the rest of the pets.

Mitzi: (whispers) let's just leave him be for a while.

The scene cuts to Phil and his train

Radio controller: Train 1884, what's your 20?

Phil: I'm at Fuller Street and I'm about to head out. What's the rail traffic ahead?

Radio Controller: No traffic for miles, you are clear to proceed. Have a great day Phil.

Phil: Thanks, and you too.

Phil starts his train forwards and leaves

(Back at the pet shop)

Pepper: it's been almost 30 minutes and Captain hasn't moved from that spot. He hasn't even said a word yet. He's just lying there.

Russell: what are we gonna do?

Pepper: I've got to talk to him

Russell: Pepper, please be gentle to him.

Pepper: I know. (Pepper walks over)

She stops behind Captain Cuddles, not knowing what to say. Captain finally says something

Captain Cuddles: Oh monsieur. (Sniffles, then starts crying)

Pepper's eyes start to well up with tears, she hesitantly walks away

Russell: so how did it go?

Pepper: Russell. Captain Cuddles is crying.

Russell: are you serious?

Pepper: pretty sure.

Mitzi: Poor thing.

(Phil then walks into LPS)

Phil: hey guys. How Cuddles doing?

Russell: not too good. He is just isolated in the back, crying.

Phil: uh oh. Not this.

Russell: huh?

Phil: Captain could be going into a severe state of depression.

Russell: how bad?

Phil: well, if not resolved... fatal.

Mitzi: Oh my gosh.

Phil: a fatal state of depression occurs when the victim is so stressed out, that he or she doesn't eat, sleep, drink, anything.

Pepper: oh no!
