The camera came on to see Richard all alone in the castle and it was nighttime.
"Hello, everyone." He deadpanned. "If you're wondering why I'm all alone in the castle at night, two reasons: the others are out tonight and I've been dared to do the One-Man Hide-n-Seek Challenge. Right here, I have all the things I need."
He turned his camera to the table to show all the materials required: a four-limbed stuffed doll, a sack of uncooked rice, red thread, a needle, scissors, a cup of salt water, a TV, and of course incense.
"Might as well get started." He said as he proceeded and showed a piece of paper. "I have the instructions right here."
First, he replaced all the doll's stuffing with the rice before sewing it shut with the thread and needle and wrapping the doll in the rest of the thread. Next, Richard went to the bathroom, and filled the tub with water. He then it the incense and set it down.
"I don't know why I need the TV, but that's a rule." He shrugged as he went to his designated hiding place, which was a compartment in the floor Dr. Fox's lab, placed the water and scissors there, lugged the TV in there, and went back.
After he got back to the bathroom, he turned to the doll.
"I think I'll call you… Greg." He said. "Now just wait until 3."
3am…
Once the clock stuck 3, Richard flew to the bathroom and said to the doll:
"Richard is the first it. Richard is the first it. Richard is the first it."
He then submerged it in the water, left and turned all the lights off. He went back to his spot, switched the TV on, and closed his eyes.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10." He counted.
After reaching ten, he got it scissors, opened his eyes, and went back to the bathroom.
"I found you, Greg." He said as he grabbed the doll and cut its bindings. "You're next it, Greg."
He placed the doll back then quickly made his way back to his spot.
"Suddenly I'm starting to regret this." He gulped.
After a little while, Richard took in a large mouthful of the salt water keeping the rest in his cup. He emerged from his spot and rushed to the bathroom, to find the doll no longer there.
"Okay, this is getting creepy." He thought.
Keeping the water in his mouth, he searched high and lower all over the castle for the doll. He searched everywhere; Unikitty's room, Puppycorn's room, Dr. Fox's lab, Hawkodile's training room, the living room, kitchen, basement and his own room.
"Where could it be?" He panicked mentally. "I only have twenty minutes left."
He then looked to see the doll in his phonograph. He then pulled the toy out, spat the water at it, and poured the rest of his water on it.
"I win. I win. I win." He said in relief.
Once it was done, he took the doll outside and set it on fire. By the time he cleaned up, it was daytime and he was exhausted. He went back to his room to sleep; unaware he dropped the instructions on the floor. Unikitty was the first to come home.
"I'm home!" She called joyfully.
She then noticed the paper on the floor and smiled.
"This looks fun." She said as she went to go do it.
