The Mighty B: Stuck in the Wringer

Chapter 1

Hilary: Kids, look what I just bought.

Ben: What is it, mom?

Hilary: A wringer.

Bessie: What does it do?

Hilary: It can wring out wet towels and washcloths.

Bessie: Awesome! We should try it out!

Hilary: Sorry, but that wringer is not a toy, so I advise you not to touch it without my permission. (She then walked out of the bathroom.)

Bessie: This wringer is so cool! Let me just test this out real quick. (She then grabbed a towel and puts it through the wringer, and it worked.) Yes! It works. Now I'm gonna leave before... (She was unaware that the towel was on the floor and she slipped into the bathtub.) I'm okay! Okay, now I should leave. (She got out of the tub, picked up the towel and threw it away, right before stepping on a rubber ducky, a bar of soap and slipping into the wringer. She then tried to escape.) This is not going well.

Penny: Hey, Bessie, have you seen my rubber ducky?

Bessie: Oh, is that it?

Penny: I found you! Duckie Duck! (Laughs) Quack, quack, quack!

Bessie: Uhh, Penny?

Penny: Huh...

Bessie: I hate to interrupt your reunion, but I kind of need your help over here.

Penny: What do you need, Bessie?

Bessie: Well, I'm a little stuck, if you know what I mean.

Penny: Stuck? I can help with that. (Reaches for a bottle marked "Forever Glue" and applies it to the wringer.) There you go, buddy. Now you're stuck forever!

Bessie: Gee, thanks, Penny! Now I'm stuck for- fe, fe, fe, forever?! (When the glue starts to dry, Bessie tries to escape, but it's too late. The glue has dried, and Bessie is unable to get herself free.) Penny, I wanted to get un-stuck, not more stuck! How am I going to get to the recreation center when I'm stuck here forever? Must get out of wringer! (Bessie uses her eyes, nose and teeth to get out of the wringer, but she gets pulled back and screams.)

Penny: (Breaks wringer off of the ground.) There, is that better?

Bessie: No, Penny. It isn't. How am I supposed to serve food and pass out papers like this? And even worse, if my mom sees me in this, she'll know I disobeyed her and I'll be in so much trouble!

Penny: Okay, you know what, Higgenbottom? That's quitter talk. And are you a quitter?

Bessie: No.

Penny: And are you going to let this wringer get between you and your passion? (A flag with a bee on it appears behind them) Are you, Bessie?

Bessie: No. I won't let it get between me and my scout work! I'm ready!

Penny: That's the spirit!

Bessie: Woo! (Crashes into door and falls down the stairs.) Don't worry, Penny! My spirits are still high!
