01x02 - Bad Luck Chibis

[bunniefuu]

(THEME SONG PLAYING)

Way underground

We start our story

In a Disney laboratory

Super-duper confidential spot

Where a bunch of crackpot scientists

Said, "What the heck we're trying this"

And grabbed up every story

that we've got

They threw 'em all together

In a massive machine

Produced a glowing orb

About the size of a bean

Slid it underneath a microscope

and found

A bunch of cutesy characters

just futzin' around

-Futzing around

-Futzing around

They're Disney Chibis

With their own TV show

-Hilarious

-And very well rehearsed

They know the logic's murky

But who cares, they're quirky

Welcome to the Chibiverse

They're Disney Chibis

With their own TV show

So stinkin' cute

Your heart is gonna burst

Ready, set, let's go

Time for the show

Welcome to the Chibiverse!

Wait, are we sure this was a good idea?

Um

Chibiverse!

ALL: Hello, Chibis.

(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

I'm Tilly,

and this is my brother, Cricket.

I'm Anne, and this is my friendsion

from another dimension, Sprig.

And we're so excited to co-host the show

for the very first time.

Am I doing this right, Hop Pop?

You're gonna be great hosts.

I'm wishing you all good luck.

(ALL SCREAM)

(CHUCKLES)

Actually, in human theater culture,

wishing someone good luck before a show

is supposed to be bad luck.

Oh, no! Really?

Some people believe it calls on

mischief-making spirits.

So you must say "Break a leg" instead.

"Break a leg"?

That's supposed to be better?

So, grab a plate,

because you're about to be served

a veritable buffet of Chibi adventures.

Plus, we'll be ending the show

by forming the very first,

super-impressive

Chibi human pyramid!

Which technically also includes

frogs and ducks.

Whoa!

That was weird.

I wonder if this has anything to do with

Hop Pop wishing us good luck.

HOP POP: I didn't know.

There must be a logical explanation.

Doofenshmirtz, did you fire,

like, a light pollinator ray?

Dang. There goes

our only reasonable explanation.

This can't be bad luck. That's ridi

While we try to uncurse our theater,

enjoy two fun Chibi Tales

with me and Sprig.

(GASPS AND GIGGLES)

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

-(BOTH LAUGHING)

-Huh?

(SCREECHES)

(WHIMPERING)

(SCREECHES)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(GROWLS)

(BOTH CHUCKLE NERVOUSLY)

Whoa!

(LAUGHING)

(URGING)

(SCREAMS)

(BOTH LAUGH)

(SNIFFS)

(EXCLAIMS)

-(MUSIC PLAYING)

-Huh?

Hmm?

(GASPS)

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

(SCREAMS)

Anne, I just feel awful if I have

caused bad luck during your show.

-Is there any way to fix this?

-I'm not sure.

The only other theater

superstition I know

is you're never supposed to say

the name of a certain play out loud.

Which one?

-(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

-Macbeth?

No! Don't say it out loud!

-Say what?

-Macbeth.

Oh, no! Now I've said it.

What happens when you say "Macbeth"?

No! It's supposed to bring

(SCREAMS)

Even worse bad luck.

Wow. I didn't know

this stage had two trapdoors.

Whoa!

Make that three.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHS)

Mom!

(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHS MANIACALLY)

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, oh, oh!

Huh?

(GROWLS)

Ha!

(GRUNTING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(GIGGLES)

(SCREAMING)

Huh.

(CHITTERS)

(SNIFFS)

(SCREAMING)

(HORN SOUNDS)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)

(GULPS)

(SCREAMS)

I'm starting to worry that

all this bad luck

could affect our big,

intricate human pyramid.

Wait. I've got it.

I read up on humans,

and this is supposed to bring good luck.

A 13-leaf clover.

No! Hop Pop,

four-leaf clovers are good luck.

The number 13 is actually

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

ALL: Bad luck.

I didn't know!

(CHUCKLES)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

Phew!

(EERIE ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING)

(GROWLS)

(ROARS)

(BELL TOLLING)

(PLAYING BADLY)

(SCREAMS)

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

(BLOWS RASPBERRY)

(GHOST IN SUIT SNARLS)

Those haunted mansion ghosts

sure can throw a party.

Wait a minute. That's it. Ghosts.

When people wish you luck

before a show,

it's supposed to call on

mischief-making ghosts.

Yo, McGee, any advice on

how to contact a ghost?

Well, I usually bribe Scratch

with a churro,

but maybe you could just

try asking for them?

ALL: Hey, spirit of the Chibi Theater!

GHOST: Who dares invoke the spirit

of the Chibi Theater?

This is about to get spooky.

Why don't we prepare by watching

some of our spookiest Chibi Tales?

Shh!

(SNORING)

Phew!

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

-(LIGHTNING STRIKES)

-(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHS)

(BLOWS RASPBERRY)

(BOTH SCREAM)

(HONKS)

(ALL SCREAM)

Hooray!

(ROARS)

(ALL CHEERING)

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

(ALARM RINGING)

(SNARLS)

(GROWLS)

(SCREAMS)

(GASPS)

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYING)

Those were so fun,

I forgot what we were talking about.

-(GHOST GROWLS)

-Oh, right! A terrifying ghost.

ALL: Scratch?

You're the ghost of the Chibi Theater?

How did I not know this?

It's just a cush part-time gig.

I do it on the down-low.

They give me

all the free popcorn I want.

Listen, Scratch,

a lot of crazy stuff has been happening,

and we're wondering, if we made

you upset, you could stop?

What would you possibly do

to make me upset?

Serve chips without guac?

Well, Hop Pop wished us good luck.

HOP POP: I didn't know!

And then,

pretty much everyone said "Macbeth."

I don't care about those superstitions.

Listen, as the official

Chibi Theater ghost,

my only rule to avoid bad luck is

no gloating at curtain call.

-Really?

-Nobody likes a show-off.

It's gross.

But if you aren't behind the things

happening around here today,

then who is?

Wait. Tiny footprints,

almost as if left by someone

who just developed their feet.

-Ah-ha!

-Polly?

You're the one behind all this?

Whoopsie doodle.

(SCREAMS)

(SNARLS)

(ANNE LAUGHS)

(GASPS)

(GRUMBLES)

(CHUCKLES)

Mmm

Hmm

(SCREAMING)

(PANTING)

(SCREAMING)

-Phew!

-(GASPS)

(ALL SCREAMING)

(LAUGHS MANIACALLY)

No!

(WHIMPERS)

Hmm?

Huh?

Ha!

Polly! We are a family.

How could you do this to us?

I'm sorry, everyone.

I was secretly jealous that

I wasn't asked to host the show, too.

So, I tried to get revenge

by making you think that

the bad luck superstition was real.

In hindsight,

I now see this was immature,

and slightly dangerous.

Polly, the Chibiverse shows are

for everyone to enjoy,

including you.

If you wanted to host the show,

you just had to ask.

-Really?

-In fact,

why don't you throw to

the final adventures,

before our big Chibi human pyramid?

(GASPS) It would be my honor.

And now, some Chibi Tales

I hold near and dear

because I'm in them.

(EXCLAIMS)

(CHUCKLES)

(GROWLS)

Oh!

(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHS)

(BUCKET CHUCKLES)

Ahem!

(GROANS)

(SCREAMS)

(VOCALIZING)

(GASPS)

-(LAUGHING)

-(THUMPING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(ROARS)

(GROWLS)

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

And now that we fixed

all that bad luck stuff,

we're pleased to end the show

with our huge showstopper

(DRUM ROLL PLAYING)

A Chibi human pyramid!

I can't believe we pulled it off.

And without any problems!

Yes, yes, I am your pyramid king.

Your praise only makes me stronger.

Cricket, no! Remember what Scratch said.

No gloating in the Chibi Theater!

-Uh-oh.

-(ALL SCREAMING)

SPRIG: The entire stage is a trapdoor?

Chibiverse!
