Destructive Animatronic
A Screenplay by PinkBlossom134
EXT. TOWER BRIDGE - AFTERNOON
Pretty author NIAMH PAYNE is arguing with talented guitarist BONNIE BUNNY. NIAMH tries to hug BONNIE but he shakes her off.
NIAMH
Please Bonnie, don't leave me.
BONNIE
I'm sorry Niamh, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces her fears head on, instead of running away.
NIAMH
I am such a person!
BONNIE frowns.
BONNIE
I'm sorry, Niamh. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore.
BONNIE leaves.
NIAMH sits down, looking defeated.
Moments later, funny musician TOBI TOY barges in looking flustered.
NIAMH
Goodness, Tobi! Is everything okay?
TOBI
I'm afraid not.
NIAMH
What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...
TOBI
It's ... an amimatronic ... I saw an evil amimatronic kill a bunch of children!
NIAMH
Defenseless children?
TOBI
Yes, defenseless children!
NIAMH
Bloomin' heck, Tobi! We've got to do something.
TOBI
I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.
NIAMH
You can start by telling me where this happened.
TOBI
I was...
TOBI fans himself and begins to wheeze.
NIAMH
Focus Tobi, focus! Where did it happen?
TOBI
Sligo! That's right - Sligo!
NIAMH springs up and begins to run.
EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS
NIAMH rushes along the street, followed by TOBI. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.
EXT. SLIGO - SHORTLY AFTER
FOXY PIRATE, a destructive amimatronic terrorises two children.
NIAMH, closely followed by Tobi, rushes towards FOXY, but suddenly stops in her tracks.
TOBI
What is is? What's the matter?
NIAMH
That's not just any old amimatronic, that's Foxy Pirate!
TOBI
Who's Foxy Pirate?
NIAMH
Who's Foxy Pirate? Who's Foxy Pirate? Only the most destructive amimatronic in the universe!
TOBI
Blinkin' knickers, Niamh! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most destructive amimatronic in the universe!
NIAMH
You can say that again.
TOBI
Blinkin' knickers, Niamh! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most destructive amimatronic in the universe!
NIAMH
I'm going to need bow and arrow, lots of bow and arrow.
Foxy turns and sees Niamh and Tobi. He grins an evil grin.
FOXY
Niamh Payne, we meet again.
TOBI
You've met?
NIAMH
Yes. It was a long, long time ago...
EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME
A young NIAMH is sitting in a park listening to some pop music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over her.
She looks up and sees FOXY. She takes off her headphones.
FOXY
Would you like some chocolate?
NIAMH's eyes light up, but then She studies FOXY more closely, and looks uneasy.
NIAMH
I don't know, you look kind of destructive.
FOXY
Me? No. I'm not destructive. I'm the least destructive amimatronic in the world.
NIAMH
Wait, you're a amimatronic?
NIAMH runs away, screaming.
EXT. SLIGO - PRESENT DAY
FOXY
You were a coward then, and you are a coward now.
TOBI
(To NIAMH) You ran away?
NIAMH
(To TOBI) I was a young child. What was I supposed to do?
NIAMH turns to FOXY.
NIAMH
I may have run away from you then, but I won't run away this time!
NIAMH runs away.
She turns back and shouts.
NIAMH
I mean, I am running away, but I'll be back - with bow and arrow.
FOXY
I'm not scared of you.
NIAMH
You should be.
EXT. FREDDY FAZBEAR'S PIZZA - LATER THAT DAY
NIAMH and TOBI walk around searching for something.
NIAMH
I feel sure I left my bow and arrow somewhere around here.
TOBI
Are you sure? It does seem like an odd place to keep deadly bow and arrow.
NIAMH
You know nothing Tobi Toy.
TOBI
We've been searching for ages. I really don't think they're here.
Suddenly, FOXY appears, holding a pair of bow and arrow.
FOXY
Looking for something?
TOBI
Crikey, Niamh, he's got your bow and arrow.
NIAMH
Tell me something I don't already know!
TOBI
The earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,075 km.
NIAMH
I know that already!
TOBI
I'm automatonophobic.
FOXY
(appalled) Dude!
While FOXY is looking at TOBI with disgust, NIAMH lunges forward and grabs her deadly bow and arrow. He wields them, triumphantly.
NIAMH
Prepare to die, you destructive carrot!
FOXY
No please! All I did was kill a bunch of children!
BONNIE enters, unseen by any of the others.
NIAMH
I cannot tolerate that kind of behaviour! Those children were defenceless! Well now they have a defender - and that's me! Niamh Payne defender of innocent children.
FOXY
Don't hurt me! Please!
NIAMH
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't use these bow and arrow on you right away!
FOXY
Because Niamh, I am your father.
NIAMH looks stunned for a few moments, but then collects herself.
NIAMH
No you're not!
FOXY
Ah well, it had to be worth a try.
FOXY tries to grab the bow and arrow but NIAMH dodges out of the way.
NIAMH
Who's the daddy now? Huh? Huh?
Unexpectedly, FOXY slumps to the ground.
TOBI
Did he just faint?
NIAMH
I think so. Well that's disappointing. I was rather hoping for a more dramatic conclusion, involving my deadly bow and arrow.
NIAMH crouches over FOXY's body.
TOBI
Be careful, Niamh. It could be a trick.
NIAMH
No, it's not a trick. It appears that... It would seem... Foxy Pirate is dead!
TOBI
What?
NIAMH
Yes, it appears that I scared him to death.
TOBI claps his hands.
TOBI
So your bow and arrow did save the day, after all.
BONNIE steps forward.
BONNIE
Is it true? Did you kill the destructive amimatronic?
NIAMH
Bonnie how long have you been...?
BONNIE puts his arm around NIAMH.
BONNIE
Long enough.
NIAMH
Then you saw it for yourself. I killed Foxy Pirate.
BONNIE
Then the children are safe?
NIAMH
It does seem that way!
A crowd of vulnerable children enter, looking relived.
BONNIE
You are their hero.
The children bow to NIAMH.
NIAMH
There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that Foxy Pirate will never kill children ever again, is enough for me.
BONNIE
You are humble as well as brave!
One of the children passes NIAMH a sliver neacklace
BONNIE
I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude.
NIAMH
I couldn't possibly.
Pause.
NIAMH
Well, if you insist.
NIAMH takes the neacklace.
NIAMH
Thank you.
The children bow their heads once more, and leave.
NIAMH turns to BONNIE.
NIAMH
Does this mean you want me back?
BONNIE
Oh, Niamh, of course I want you back!
NIAMH smiles for a few seconds, but then looks defiant.
NIAMH
Well you can't have me.
BONNIE
WHAT?
NIAMH
You had no faith in me. You had to see my scare a amimatronic to death before you would believe in me. I don't want a lover like that.
BONNIE
But...
NIAMH
Please leave. I want to spend time with the one person who stayed with me through thick and thin - my best friend, Tobi.
TOBI grins.
BONNIE
But...
TOBI
You heard the lady. Now be off with you. Skidaddle! Shoo!
BONNIE
Niamh?
NIAMH
I'm sorry Bonnie, but I think you should skidaddle.
BONNIE leaves.
TOBI turns to NIAMH.
TOBI
Did you mean that? You know ... that I'm your best friend?
NIAMH
Of course you are!
The two walk off arm in arm.
Suddenly TOBI stops.
TOBI
When I said I'm automatonophobic, you know I was just trying to distract the amimatronic don't you?
THE END
