Season #1 Episode #8: Once Upon a Swap

---

Roselle:
Oh, no, sweetie. You can't survive out there without us.

Eda:
Ladies, stand back. I am not above disrespecting my elders. [twirls her finger; sighs] Oh, dang. I'm not a witch right now.

Roselle:
No, baby. You're a cutie patootie. [reaches for Eda]

Eda:
[runs] Not today, sister!

Roselle:
No!

Dottie:
[shrieks]

[Eda runs through the employees only door. She closes it behind her and moves a chair below the handle.]

Roselle:
Let us in this instant! It is not time for you to be there.

Eda:
Stop babying me!

[She turns around, then visibly gets uncomfortable. Inside the room are various demons in rocking chairs, stacked in shelves, all of them grinning ominously and most of them drooling.]

Eda:
This vacation just took an alarming, back‐alley turn. [waves her hand in front of one of them]

Baby:
Tasty num‐nums.

Eda:
Ew.

Bowtie:
Don't bother.

Eda:
[shouts]

Bowtie:
Their minds are tragically gone. They've been coddled so long, they forgot how to live on their own. Their brains turned to mush.

Eda:
Geez, I thought I liked being babied. But I feel so small and helpless, like some sort of... baby. But that won't happen to us, right?

Bowtie:
[purrs while playing with a ball of yarn; gurgles]

Eda:
I failed you, Bowtie. My closest ally.

Bowtie:
Meow. Meow. [rolls face first onto the floor]

[pounding]

Eda:
[gasps]

Dottie:
[growling]

Eda:
I'll avenge you, Bowtie! [throws him]

Bowtie:
[meows]

[Bowtie lands on Roselle's face. Dottie goes to help her. Eda sees sunlight.]

Eda:
Ooh!

[She runs for the light, diving through a hole. She runs into a window.]

Eda:
Huh?

Monster:
[grunts and floats away]

Dottie:
[snarling]

Roselle:
Oh, wonderful! Now everyone can see our bestest baby... [holds up the bee costume] forever.

Eda:
No!

[Cut to King successfully jumping and grabbing a flag.]

King:
Weh! Not so high and mighty anymore. [throws it on the ground] I feel so alive! [yelps]

[He falls into a trashcan. Freeze frame with "KING'S BRUSH WITH DEATH" above the trash can. Action resumes as the trash can falls. A water balloon hits the ground next to the trash can. Tentacles grow out of the water.]

King:
[backing away] Oh, no! [shouts and ducks] The flag, it seeks revenge.

[Distant laughing is heard. King looks to a cliff, where Skara and a Potions student are standing. The latter throws a water balloon on the ground.]

Man #1:
[caught in tentacles] Help me! I'm a delicate man.

King:
Teenagers.

[Cut to King pulling himself onto the cliff.]

Potions Student:
[grabbing another water balloon from a bag] Hey, take this, society! [breaks the balloon over himself] Oh, no. [shouts]

[A tentacle grabs him. King crawls over to a building with signs reading "TREASURE SHACK." King sniffs under the curtain, then looks under it. Amelia and Boscha are on their scrolls while the Oracle student is flying upside down with winged boots, attempting to do a sit-up.]
