[Open on a Slayground in the middle of Bonesborough. Several baby-track Hexside students are there. A sign at the front gate reads "THE SLAYGROUND funded by the Bonesborough department of parks & wreck". Cut to a sign above a bench that reads "ALL BLOODTHIRSTY MONSTERS MUST BE LEASHED". Eda and Luz are sitting on a bench under the sign while David stand by the wall writing down on his notebook as he listen to his music on his phone with headset on. Keanu is standing right beside him.]
Luz: [Visibly nervous.] What if he gets hurt? What if the kids are mean to him? [Gasps.] My parental instincts are freaking out, man.
David: [Takes his headset off.] Luz, King has the same body sized like them. And beside, the best thing that can happen is when those kids thinks he's just a stuffed animal or try to put snots on him.
Luz: How is that helping?!
David: I'm just saying that King needs to learn how to be more like a kid instead of pretending to be a tyrannical dictator. Right Keanu? [Keanu bark with a nod. He smiled and pat his head.]
Eda: He's right Luz. King is fine. Look at him.
[Cut to King trying to climb the slide.]
Luz: It does look like he's having fun.
[King grunts.]
Luz: Aw. I wonder what cute little game he's playing.
David: Yeah, cute little game alright.
King: Stand back, cretins. [Grunting as he reaches the top.] Yes! Yes! This is a throne worthy of a tyrant. Bow to me you snotty underlings. Bow!
Kids: [Share a look.] Okay.
[One does a handstand while the other does a backbend.]
King: Yes, appease your master.
Usurper: This isn't for standing, it's for sliding. You try. [Shoves him.]
King: Whoa, whoa! [Screams, grunts when he hits ground.] Eda! [Runs to his friends, clings to Luz's leg.] That monster took my throne.
Eda: You mean the baby?
King: No, the usurper. I want you to go over there and blow him up. Kaboom!
Usurper: [Riding a spring rider.] Kaboom!
David: Dude, he's just a kid. It's not a big deal.
Eda: [Unscrews Owlbert from her staff.] Yeah, I'm not using Owlbert to blow up a five-year-old.
[Owlbert hoots.]
Eda: He's got better things to do. Like this... [Pets him.]
[Owlbert warbles.]
Luz: Aw, what a sweetie. How did you get him?
David: I was just going to ask the same question, did you get him at Hexside?
Eda: Get? I made Owlbert from the branch of an ancient tree.
David; We'll that explains why he turned into a wood.
[He shows Eda and
Owlbert: [Hops onto Eda's hand, hoots.]
Eda: Oh, he's my palisman and we're bonded for life. [Owlbert hops to her shoulder, nuzzling her cheek.] I'd annihilate anyone who'd hurt him.
David: I know what you mean Eda. [Wrote something in his notebook.] Note to self: Never touch someone's property.
King: Fine. Don't help. Revenge will taste all the sweeter if they fall by my hand alone. [Laughs.]
