the recruits - HOTSHOT, WHIRL, HOIST, and WEDGE - are gathered around the big screen, chatting excitedly. MEDIX enters, holding a holo-disc.

MEDIX: (curious) I found this in the archives. It's called a horror movie.

HOTSHOT: (enthusiastic) A horror movie? Let's watch it!

WHIRL: (excited) I love a good scare!

WEDGE: (confident) Nothing scares me.

HOIST: (nervous) Uh, are you sure this is a good idea?

MEDIX: (analyzing) It's a cultural study. We should expand our understanding of human entertainment.

Medix inserts the holo-disc into the player. The lights dim, and the movie starts. As the movie progresses, Medix becomes increasingly uneasy.

INT. RESCUE BOTS ACADEMY - COMMON ROOM - LATER

The movie reaches a terrifying climax. Medix is visibly shaken, while the others are on the edge of their seats.

MOVIE CHARACTER: (screaming) It's right behind you!

The screen goes black. The recruits sit in silence for a moment, processing the fright.

MEDIX: (shaking) That was... quite intense.

HOTSHOT: (grinning) Told you it was going to be awesome!

Suddenly, the DOORBELL rings. Medix jumps, clearly scared.

MEDIX: (panicking) What was that?!

WHIRL: (laughing) Just the doorbell, Medix.

HOTSHOT: (smirking) Probably the wind blew it.

HOIST: (concerned) Should we check it out?

WEDGE: (standing up) I'll go. Nothing scares me, remember?

INT. RESCUE BOTS ACADEMY - HALLWAY - NIGHT

Wedge heads to the door, followed by the other recruits. Medix stays close to Hoist, still trembling. Wedge opens the door cautiously.

WEDGE: (relieved) See? Just the wind.

The door is empty, only the night breeze flowing in. The recruits breathe a sigh of relief.

INT. RESCUE BOTS ACADEMY - COMMON ROOM - NIGHT

The recruits return to the common room. Medix is still visibly shaken, but trying to regain composure.

MEDIX: (sighing) Perhaps I need more practice with human entertainment.

HOTSHOT: (reassuring) Don't worry, Medix. We'll watch something fun next time. No more horror movies for a while.

WHIRL: (excited) How about a comedy?

HOIST: (smiling) Sounds good to me.

WEDGE: (smirking) As long as it doesn't involve clowns. Those things are creepy.

The recruits laugh, easing the tension from the scare. They settle back in, ready to choose a new movie, one that won't leave Medix trembling.

FADE OUT.
