Fade In
Interior Bedroom mid-morning.
In the distance we hear the shower, and then the low drone of the Evil Alien Eye (EAE).
Mom and Fin enter from the hall. They are unaware of the danger that still lurks on the dresser.
EAE (evil-like and quiet... hoping to lull Mom back into its evil spell): Bbbbbbuuuuzzzz
Mom (confused): What? I thought I turned this thing off? Maybe your Dad turned it back on... maybe it's defective?
Mom
reaches out and chokes it by the neck again. Slowly the light from its
horrible orange eye fades. Mom grabs its tail which has attached itself
to a hole in the wall. She tugs it hard, but the EAE isn't going down
easy. Our heroine Fin sees that its tail has wrapped itself around Mom's
cankle, trying to trip her up.
Fin (loudly in warning): MEW! Mom watch out! It's coming for you!
Mom (pulling its tail out of the wall): Take that!
Mom
wraps its tail around its own neck. Fin races towards the box it came
in, so Mom can see the evil box lurking on the floor. Mom grabs the EAE
and carries it to the box. Mom wrestles the EAE, trying to force it back
into its box lair.
Mom (angrily): I still have the receipt! [Mom shoves harder to little avail] You're going back to where you came from!
EAE (menicingly): SQUEAK!
EAE
fights back by refusing to twist back into the box lair. Mom is ready
to give up, when she sees the brave Fin holding the box lair with her
paws (despite the danger). They must save the family from the EAE. With
renewed determination, Mom shoves and Fin pushes and finally the EAE is
forced into the box.
Mom (victorious): Yes! Thank Cod the heater is fixed. This thing was starting to creep me out. Now we can snuggle again sweetie!
Mom
picks up sweet Fin and walks towards the door with the brave kitty in
her arms. Mom turns quickly, and gives the box a little kick... just in
case.
