Toy Story 4: The toys are Alive!
Chapter 1- Laura's belief
Narrator: My name is Laura Benson and this is my story. You may not believe me at first. No body does but what I'm about to tell you is true. It all started my first week of college. I met this guy named Andy and he and I clicked right away. He was a normal down to earth guy which is why I didn't want him to know about the weirdness. But I should have known I couldn't keep him out of my room forever.
( Andy and Laura enter the small dorm room. Laura quickly hides her stuffed animals as they enter the room)
Andy: What are you doing?
Laura: What do you mean?
Andy: Why are you hiding your stuffed animals?
Laura: I'm not hiding them. I'm just putting them away. You know. Cleaning up for you.
Andy: You know I don't care if the room is a mess.
Laura: I'd just prefer not to have them around. It's embarrassing.
Andy: I used to have toys I couldn't part with either. I understand.
(Andy and Laura got on her bed and Andy wrapped his arms around Laura)
Laura:No you don't. ( stopping him from kissing her) What did you do with them?
Andy: What?
Laura: You said you USED to have toys what did you do with them?
Andy: I gave them to a little girl named Holly. Why?
Laura: I bet they're having fun.
Andy: They're just toys.
Laura: Yea… just toys.
(Andy let Laura go)
Andy: What?
Laura: What if they weren't? What if toys were alive and had dreams and ideas and fears and wishes and hopes?
Andy: I suppose that would be cool but they don't.
Laura: What if they did? What if they did?
Andy: Laura, you're scaring me. ( he said backing away from her a little) You can't really believe that.
Laura: What if I got proof? Would you believe me then?
Andy: Fine you get proof that toys are alive and I promise I'll believe you. Right now I think I should go.
(Andy gets up to leave)
Laura: Good idea they don't move if we're here.
(Laura gets up as well)
Andy: Actually, I'd prefer to leave by myself. You just stay here after all it is your room.
Laura: I'm not crazy.
Andy: I never said you were.
Laura: You didn't have to. I can tell you think I'm crazy.
Andy: I'll talk to you later.
Laura: When I prove their alive we'll see who the crazy one really is!
( yelled Laura)
(Later that night. Laura took out a metal box. He unlocked the metal box and took out a pair of sunglasses with a camera built in. She clicked the button and put it on and then took her books and headed left. The toys started to come out of drawers and the various hiding places that Laura had clumsily stuffed them. A blonde teddy bear with one arm and one leg limped towards the others who surrounded the dorm room bed. From the way they came to him it was clear he was their leader his name was Lucky.)
Lucky: Now, everyone as I'm sure you know we have a situation. Laura believes that we are alive and has gone and told another human.
(A little white bear in a "I heart Manhattanville t-shirt steps up)
little bear: But he doesn't believe her. What harm could his knowledge possibly do?
Lucky: Emvilly, no one is to know the truth about us. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Emvilly: But why?
Lucky: NO EXCEPTIONS! Now, so far we've lived on the idea that her belief that we're alive is just an idea but now she wants a way to find proof. We have to stop her before she finds that way. Search the room for any cameras.
(The toys start searching the room but no one finds anything out of the ordinary. Giving up hope they try to come up with a plan to stop Laura from buying anything on the internet)
Lucky: No camera then we have no choice. Buster?
(A brown bear in a sweat shirt hands Lucky a flash drive with the word virus on it. They go to the laptop and pop it in)
Now, there is no way she can get any proof.
Emvilly: What would happen if humans found out about us?
Lucky: They would send us to factories and have us dismantled to try and figure out what makes us alive and would experiment on us until we are nothing but piles of burned fur and cotton.
Emvilly: O my god. O my god!
Lucky: That's why they can never know.
Emvilly: But why would humans do that if they are supposed to love us?
Lucky: Because deep down they don't. I learned that after I lost my leg. Laura left me on the floor and Roxy got to me. No one even bothered to replace my limbs. They don't love us. They just use us.
Emvilly: Then why do we stay with them? Why don't we just run away?
Luna: We were designed to teach them to love. If we disappeared there would be gangs and wars all over the place.
Lucky: Of course you'd think that. You're from the quechee raptor center!
Luna: It's true. Humans are not just cruel to us. They are cruel to animals and each other.
Lucky: Animals deserve whatever they get!
Luna: You just believe that because you've had some bad run ins with a dog. It wasn't the dog's fault. She was just playing. She didn't know any better.
Lucky: That's the human moto " We don't know any better."… it's why we have to do this.
