The Brain Eating Teddy Bear


DEDICATION: Kaytee, you helped me release my inner brain eating teddy bear. Thanks!

NOTES: Well, Jessica and Frances wanted to be mentioned. Well, I was chatting with them at the time and they thought it was funny...





[The manor. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe are sitting in the sun room. God forbid they should be normal and have a living room.]

PHOEBE:
I was thinking of putting out-

PIPER:
Don't you already?

PHOEBE:
Let me finish! I was saying, I was thinking of putting out a CD.

PRUE:
Must you always bring shame to this family?

PHOEBE:
Probably... if I understood what you meant, I would probably have a better answer.

PIPER:
That's the story of your lfie.

[Leo orbs in and knocks over a lamp.]

PIPER:
That lamp was NEW!

PRUE:
No it wasn't...

PIPER:
Shhhhhh! I'm trying to make him feel bad!

LEO:
I can hear you, you know. It's not like you're whispering.

PRUE:
Why don't you go get knocked unconscious. You're good at that.

LEO:
I just have weak ankles!

[Crickets chirp as everyone stares at Leo.]

PIPER:
Anyway, why are you here?

LEO:
There's...danger!

[Prue yawns and more crickets chirp.]

LEO:
For God sakes, get out of the house!

[Everyone sits there.]

PHOEBE:
You do know we never listen to you, right?

LEO:
Fine! But when the teddy bear eats your brain, you're going to be sorry!

[Leo orbs out.]

PRUE:
Geez, what got his panties all in a wad?

PIPER:
Who knows? Leo's also got a wad in his pants... wait... I mean... uh...

PHOEBE:
What do you think he meant by the teddy bear eating our brains?

[Prue takes a drag from her cigarette.]

PIPER:
Where'd you get that?

[Prue shrugs and puts it out.]

PHOEBE (whispering):
Let me be your hero.

PRUE:
What?

PHOEBE:
I...uh...I said, so, how about that brain eating teddy bear that is slowly creeping onto Piper's head?

PIPER:
WHAT???

[Piper races around the room, with the evil teddy bear hanging on to her back. Prue puts her cigarette in her mouth.]

PIPER:
Where'd you get that?

[Prue shrugs and rips the teddy bear from Piper's abck and throws it at Phoebe. It begins suckign out her brains.]

PHOEBE:
Why don't I feel anything?

[The teddy bear gets a confused look and opens Phoebe's head. It's empty. A lone tumbleweed tumbles by and exits through her left ear. The teddy bear shuts her head. Prue and Piper laugh at it.]

PRUE:
You obviously haven't done your research.

PIPER:
Phoebe is just here to state the obvious. [does an impression of Phoebe] There's a demon in the attic! Oh my gosh, that guy is evil!

[Teddy Bear growls because it is incapable of speech.]

PIPER:
I have never met a stupider teddy bear.

[Prue takes her cigarette from her mouth.]

PIPER:
Where did you get that???

[Prue shrugs.]

PHOEBE:
Timmy's fallen down the well!

[Everyone stares at her. The teddy bear turns to Prue and Piper.]

PIPER:
We couldn't tell you even if we weren't about to kill you... wait, that wasn't witty. We always say soemthing witty before we kill things!

PRUE:
Uh...go to fuzzy hell you fuzzy bastard!

[Piper mulls it over. The teddy bear crosses his arms and taps his foot.]

PIPER:
No, it doesn't have that in your face Chamred attitude going on.

PHOEBE:
I dunno. I would say we've got more sass than attitude.

PRUE:
Sass? Sass is so '80s. Girl Power is so over. Um... the whole "embracing the word bitch" is over now. Attitude sounds about right.

[The teddy bear growls at them.]

PIPER:
Hey, Mister Panty Wad -

PHOEBE:
Wait, I thought that was Leo.

[Prue crosses her arms and waves her cigarette.]

PIPER:
Where do you get those???

[Prue shrugs.]

PHOEBE:
So, have we decided on attitude?

[Piper and Prue nod. Then they all turn to the teddy bear.]

PIPER:
Wait! We need a witty vanquish!

[The teddy bear sighs and sits on the couch. He picks up Seventeen magazine. He looks at the cover, then the girls, then the cover.]

PRUE:
What are you looking at?

[The teddy bear shakes his head and goes back to the magazine. The phone rings. Phoebe picks up.]

PHOEBE:
Hewo?

PERSON:
Hewo.

PHOEBE:
That is a trademark Phoebe baby voice word!

PERSON:
First I played with Judd, then I played with mommy and now I want to play with you.

PHOEBE:
You have been watching too much Pet Cemetary.

[Phoebe hangs up, but it rings again.]

PHOEBE:
House of beauty, this is cutie.

PERSON:
I'm in the house, do you know where I am?

[Phoebe looks at the teddy bear. He has a really tiny cellphone.]

PHOEBE:
On the couch?

PERSON:
Uh... no.

PHOEBE:
Yes you are. I'm looking right at you!

PERSON:
Um... no you're not.

PHOEBE:
I so am!

[The teddy bear hangs up his phone.]

PERSON:
You are not!

PHOEBE:
You're right. You wanna talk to Prue? She was almost in Scream 3...

[Phoebe hands the phone to Prue.]

PRUE (to Phoebe):
Be a sweetie darling and empty my ash try.

[Phoebe grabs the ash tray and bounces away.]

PRUE (on phone):
Oh yeah? Well you're a *BEEP* *BEEP* and you've got a small *BEEP*! Oh you think? Shut the *BEEP* you *BEEP*! Honestly, if you *BEEP* anymore of those *BEEP* I'm going to shove a *BEEP* up your *BEEP*!

[Prue hangs up the phone and throws it. It hits Phoebe in the head.]

PHOEBE:
I'm pretty sure that hurt...

[The teddy bear sighs.]

PIPER:
Are you still here?

TEDDY BEAR:
Mmmmmmhmmmm.

PRUE:
Well, we need a witty saying or we'll have to do with "Die in fuzzy hell."

[Leo orbs in and screams like a woman, then he jumps in Prue's arms.]

LEO:
Waaah -hey, where'd you get that cigarette?

[Prue shrugs and drops Leo to the floor. Leo clambers to his knees and hides behind Prue. Prue sighs and rolls her eyes.]

PRUE:
God you're sad.

[Leo whimpers in response. The teddy bear gnashes his teeth and Leo shrieks and climbs up on Prue's back and grabs onto her neck.]

PRUE:
Choking Prue! You're choking Prue!

[Leo drops to the floor then orbs out. Everybody looks at Piper.]

PIPER:
I'm cheating on him, don't worry!

PHOEBE:
Me too.

[Everybody looks at Phoebe.]

PHOEBE:
Uh.... go to fuzzy hell!

[Teddy Bear taps his watch. Piper picks him up by his little teddy bear neck.]

PIPER:
You will wait until we have something witty!

[She throws the teddy bear down and Prue puts out her cigarette.]

PRUE:
We've only got one choice.

PHOEBE:
What's that?

PRUE:
We kill him in the closet.

PIPER:
Enlighten the stupid... Phoebe didn't hear.

PRUE:
If we kill him in the closet, no one will see. Then we can pretend that we had the wittiest saying ever.

[The sisters agree and drag the teddy bear in the closet. Muffeled pummeling noises, screams, a chainsaw, and... giggles? Whatever. Anyway, they're heard in the closet.]

PRUE (muffled):
Go to fuzzy hell you fuzzy bastard!

[A bang is heard then smoke comes from the crack under the door. The door opens and the sisters come running out, choking and gasping for air.]

PIPER:
Forgot about the demonic vanquish smoke.

PRUE:
At least there was no demonic vanquish fire.

PHOEBE:
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm curiously high.

[Piper and Prue stare at her.]

PHOEBE:
Nobody else? Okay.

[Phoebe goes back into the closet and shuts the door.]

PIPER:
Adopted?

[Prue lights her cigarette then puts the lighter away.]

PIPER:
Where did you get that???

[Prue puts her arm around Piper shoulders and they walk into the kitchen.]

PRUE:
Let me tell you the story of the little smoker that could... he huffed and he puffed, then he died of black lung.

THE END
