VAULT OF HORROR #39
Petula was with her friend group overlooking the newspapers for anything interesting.
VAMPIRE ATTACKS PLAGUE TOWN (seriously don't ask)
SAVANNAH GOES ON VACATION FOR MONTH
MEG GRIFFIN SUES PERSON THAT SAID SHE LOOKS BAD IN PICTURES
suddenly she saw an ad on her fourth paper: AUDITIONS FOR SHAKESPEARE FILM
Petula got an devious idea, if she got whatever role this was she would the pet all of Paw-tucket is talking about, and she would be able to hang with celebrities like savannah.
and so the next day she and her posse went to the studio that was addressed on the poster, "this studio looks odd" gavin pointed out, because the studio didn't exactly look like an ordinary studio. undeterred, she and her friends went to the front door, a parakeet was there too "excuse me is thi-" she stopped when she saw the parakeet's face
"what are you doing here"
"a friend of yours told me about this place" Edie said "I just can't resist auditioning"
Everypet in Petula's group turned to face mitchell, with annoyed looks on their faces.
the door opened and the group instantly recognized the dog, "rusty Shepbourne!" Edie said in surprise
"no, i'm his twin brother, dusty. are you here to audition"
Petula and Edie nodded. and followed the director along with Petula's friends
"as you know, we are working on a Shakespeare film." dusty explained "i'm trying to make everything look as real as possible"
as he was talking, a kangaroo came up to him "sir, we have a problem"
"what is it joey"
"we lost one of our props"
dusty was shocked by this announcement "did gary misplace it again"
"no, and you fired gary for taking the last of your birthday cake."
growing impatient, Petula asked "now, about the role"
"oh, right" dusty said "unfortunately I cant do auditions right no-" he stopped when he saw gavin, "you, you look perfect for the role, how would you like to give it a try."
not hesitating gavin accepted, and was led to his dressing room. Petula, who was upset her friend betrayed her, secretly grabbed a heavy sandbag, and entered Gavin's room "if you're here to talk me out of it, i'll have you know i'm not backing out" gavin said
"oh I know, I just want to know the name of the film"
"well apparently, the play that we're doing is-" but before he could say it, the sandbag hit him on the head, hard, and he fell to the floor and didn't get up.
afterwards, she dragged the body to a closet that was conveniently in the room, and returned to the small group, where dusty was talking to one of his crew
"do you think tom's the reason we're missing the prop we need"
"it can't be he's getting married today, so he can't show up, remember"
