Hide and Seek- The kids go on a mission to find Cat's stuffed giraffe Mr. Longneck, sending them on an adventure they will never forget.

Thirty minutes after Jade and Beck put the kids to bed. Cat had a hard time falling asleep, she kept moving around in bed.

Cat: Mr. Longneck? Mr. Longneck where are you?

Cat's voice awakened her sisters from their light sleep.

Trina: (yawns) Cat go to sleep.

Tori: (yawns) I'm tired. I took a short nap today.

Cat: I can't find Mr. Longneck.

Tori: Where is he?

Cat: I don't know.

Tori: Let's go find him.

Trina: Or we can just ask mommy and daddy to get him.

Tori: There's no fun in that.

Tori and Cat both stood out of their beds.

Cat: Can we get Robbie and Andre to come with us?

Tori: Good idea. Let's get our flashlights.

Tori and Cat grabbed their flashlights and headed for the door.

Tori: You coming Trina?

Trina: No, I'm sleepy.

Tori: Okay.

Tori and Cat walked out the room leaving Trina alone. Suddenly becoming afraid, Trina jumped out of bed running after them.

Trina: Wait! Don't leave me here monsters might get me.

In the boys' room:

Cat: Robbie, Andre time to wake up.

Cat shone her flashlight on Robbie as he slept in bed, the brightness woke him up.

Robbie: Morning already?

Tori: No, we're waking you up.

Robbie: (whines) Why? I'm sleepy.

Tori: To find Mr. Longneck.

Andre woke up hearing his siblings voices, he tiredly sat up in bed.

Andre: Why are you in here? Get out.

Tori: We need your help to find Mr. Longneck.

Andre: Just tell mommy and daddy.

Trina: We're finding him by ourselves.

Andre: Okay, have fun and watch out for monsters.

As Andre laid back down closing his eyes, Tori shined her flashlight in his, he covered his face.

Andre: Stop!

Tori: You're coming too.

Andre: What if I don't?

Cat: Then, I'll be really sad.

Robbie: Okay, I don't want you to bed sad.

Robbie stood out of his bed and hugged Cat.

Andre: But I'm sleepy.

Trina: Come on!

Trina pulled Andre out of his bed, the kids all walked out into the hall.

Trina: Remember when we were taking a bath and mommy said Mr. Longneck couldn't take a bath?

Tori: Oh, yeah. He must be in the bathroom.

Trina: Duh.

The kids ran into the girls' bathroom, Cat shined her flashlight around to see.

Cat: I don't see him.

Tori: Me neither.

Andre: I remember seeing him when we were watching TV.

Robbie: Trina, throwed him on the floor because she said he was yucky.

Cat gasped turning to Trina.

Trina: Only because he was wet!

Tori: Let's go downstairs.

Andre: Be quiet so mommy and daddy won't hear us.

The kids crept down the steps and into the living room.

Trina: I threw him over there.

Trina pointed across the room, Tori shined her flashlight in the area.

Tori: I don't see him.

Cat started tearing up preparing to cry.

Cat: We have to find him.

Andre: Didn't you take him outside with you when daddy took the garbage out?

Cat: Yes!

Cat ran away heading for the front door, her sibling followed behind.

Trina: Why is the door opened?

Tori: Mommy and daddy always close it.

Robbie: Well let's get going before it closes.

The kids all ran outside.

Andre: Maybe he's in that big box.

Andre pointed to a huge box sitting on the ground.

Tori: Where'd that box come from?

Trina: Who cares let's just check it.

Chuck: Thanks a lot for donating to the Purple Heart.

Beck: No problem my wife and I don't use this old furniture anyway.

Andre: (whispering) It's daddy.

Robbie: Let's go ask him if he saw Mr. Longneck.

Andre: No, Robbie, don't.

Trina: We not oppose to be out here.

Tori: Quick to the box!

The kids all ran to the box hiding beside it.

Trina: What are we gonna do?

Tori: Get in and hide.

The kids crawled into the box without Beck or Chuck noticing because it was dark out.

Chuck: Well I better get going.

The man taped up the box and attempted to lift it.

Chuck: Whoa this table is heavier than I thought.

Beck: Let me give you a hand.

Beck helped Chuck lift the box into a huge 18 wheeler. Chuck thanked Beck and drove off.

Inside the box:

Tori turned on her flashlight revealing herself and her frighten siblings.

Robbie: What's going on?

Andre: I think we're in trouble.

Trina: Yes, we are, I gotta go to the potty.

Trina sat squeezing her legs together.

Tori: Why are we moving?

Cat: I don't think Mr. Longneck is in here.

Back at the house:

Jade: (on the phone) I'll talk to you later Jenny, I just heard the dryer go off.

Jenny: Okay night!

After hanging up with Jenny, Jade walked to the laundry room, she grabbed Cat's stuffed giraffe from the dryer and walked up to the girls' room. Jade smiled as she walked to Cat's bed.

Jade: Cat, here's Mr. Longneck.

Jade touched the bed, noticing it felt empty, Jade stood up walking to the light switch turning on the light.

Jade: What the hell?

Jade figured the girls' were in the boys' room, when she got to their room she turned on the light. She felt her heart racing as she panicked.

Jade: BECK!
