Title: "Teacher's Pet" Basic Plot: (Also, I wanted this to seem absurd because my inspiration for the "vibe" of this show is kinda a mix between Regular Show and a few other things, lol.) Armando and Higz have really bad grades in math. When troubled with how to raise them, Migz suggests going after class to do extra credit stuff for the teacher. Little do they know, the math teacher is really weird, and tells them not to come after school on Wednesday. The two forget, and go after school on Wednesday anyways, but then the math teacher IS there and he's trying to summon a demon with his pet cat. The two obviously shut this down pretty quickly, the math teacher being hauled off to the mental asylum. Amen. Act 1: (The episode opens up at the school, where H and A are standing in the school hallway talking.) Higz: Yo, Armando, what's up? Armando: Nothin much, Higz, but guess who made a 46 on the math quiz! :D Higz: What?? No fair, I made a 38. Armando: Hahahaaa (his laughing expression turns to a serious one) but seriously, our grades suck. Higz: Agreed. How do you think we can improve them? (Migz walks up) Migz: Hey, what're you two dorks up to? Armando: Heyy, Migz, you're a nerd! How can me and Higz get better grades in math? Migz: I dunno, study? Actually learn the material? Higz: That sounds like a good ide- Armando: Boorrinnng!! Anything else we could do? Migz: I mean, you could stay after school and do things for extra credit, like I used to. Higz: That's kind of weird, sis, should I call the cops? Migz: What? No, ew, not like that! I meant like, clean up around the classroom and grade papers and stuff. Armando: Well, that does sound slightly less excruciating than studying. Higz: Yeah, guess you're right. Migz: (With an unamused expression,) well, good luck with that, guys. (She leaves.) Armando: Thanks, Migz. Higz: Bye, sis. (Armando turns to Higz;) So, wanna go see if Mr. Beckett will give us that extra credit? Higz: I dunno man, he’s kinda weird. Every single thing in his classroom is cat-themed, it’s like he worships them. Armando: Yeah, maybe it’s cuz you’re a dog person. Higz: No, I’m a fox person. Armando: Oh, right. (They arrive in Mr. Beckett’s room, where he seems surprised to see them.) Mr. Beckett: Oh, hello, boys. How can I help you? Armando: Um, hey, we were wondering if we could, like, do anything for extra credit? Mr. Beckett: Why, sure! You boys could start by grading that stack of papers over there! (He points to an enormous stack of papers.) Armando: Great, we’ll do it. (He picks up the stack of papers and sits in a desk next to Higz. At that moment, Mr. Beckett gets up.) Mr. Beckett: I’ll be right back. (He leaves the room.) (Higz and Armando go to start grading the papers, but Higz realizes they don’t have the answer key.) Higz: Hey, he didn’t give us the answer key. Armando: Oh, yeah. Wonder if it’s on his desk. Higz: I’ll go check. (Higz goes to his desk. He finds the answer key almost immediately, but next to it is a book titled, “How To Summon a Cat Demon for Dummies.” He seems really concerned, but around that time, Mr. Beckett starts walking back into the classroom, so Higz takes his seat once again.) (Cut to later, after the guys have graded all the papers.) Mr. Beckett: You boys done? Armando: Yeah, that should be all of them. Mr. Beckett: Excellent! I added 10 points to both of your average grades! Higz: 10 points? I’ll have a… (He counts on his fingers) a 10! :O Armando: No fair, I’ll have an 8. By the way, Mr. Beckett? Mr. Beckett: Yes? Armando: Will we be able to stay tomorrow for more extra credit? Mr. Beckett: Of course! Any day except for this Wednesday. Armando: Got it. Well, see ya tomorrow, Mr. B! Mr. Beckett: See you tomorrow, boys. Thanks for the help! (Higz and Armando leave the school.) Higz: Dude, I’m telling you, something’s up with Mr. B. Armando: Like what, dude? Higz: I don’t know. He had some book on his desk about summoning cat demons. Armando: That sounds really odd. But, maybe I just don’t understand it because I’m more of a dog person. Higz: (Sighs) Okay, dude.
Act 2: (The next day.) Bully: Alright, losers. Hand over the lunch money. (Armando and Higz look behind themselves.) Armando: Yeah! (laughs) Hand it over guys. Higz: Dude, he’s talking about us. (They both hand over their lunch money.) Bully: I heard you guys were both TOTAL teacher's pets. Armando: Teacher's pets? What do you mean by that? Bully: Oh, you know, sucking up to the teacher for extra credit. Armando: Yeah, but at least our grades are probably better than yours! (Armando and Higz turn around and walk back to class. Taped onto Armando’s back is a paper that says “kick” and on Higz’s is "us” They high five each other as they walk away.) (They reach Mr. B’s classroom.) Higz: Heyy, Mr. B. What do you have for us today? Mr. Beckett: Oh, hey there, Higz and Armando. Umm, all I need for today is for you to sweep and mop the floor. You know, some of the students spill their snacks and drinks a lot in here. Armando: Okay, got it! (Higz sweeps the floor, and Armando mops it after him. On their way out, they notice a bucket of red paint next to the teacher’s desk.) Higz: What’s the paint for, Mr. B? Mr. Beckett: Oh, haha, don’t worry about it. I was thinking about using it to, I dunno, spice things up a little here. The dull, gray walls are pretty boring. Higz: Yeah, I do have to agree. Well, have a good night! Armando: Oh, wait, Mr. B, how many points do we get now? Mr. Beckett: Oh, I added another 15 to your grades. Armando: Alright!! (He high-fives Higz as they leave the room.) (They walk out of the school, and on the way out, Higz says to Armando,) Dude, there’s something up with him, I don’t even think he’s allowed to paint the walls. Besides, why would he want to paint them blood-red? Armando: I don’t know. I mean, I like red a lot, so I could understand. (He points to his headband and shirt) Higz: I do, too! Doesn’t mean I’d like my walls that color. Armando: You’re a fake red fan. Higz: Whatever, man. Act 3: (The next day at school, (Wednesday) when Higz and Armando are headed to Mr. B’s.) Higz: Hey, wait, isn't today Wednesday? Armando: Yeah, what about it? Higz: He said we weren’t supposed to come today. Armando: Did he? (They approach the classroom, where a strange red glow is being emitted from the doorway.) Higz: What’s going on in there? Armando: I don’t know… check it out. (He pushes Higz towards the room, standing behind him as if to use him as a human shield.) I’m right behind you. (Higz harshly whispers;) Yeah, gee, thanks. (He slowly peers into the room, his eyes widening as he sees the scene unfolding.) (Mr. Beckett is dressed up in a black suit with devil horns, a red sigil drawn on the classroom floor, and his pet cat sitting in the middle of it.) Higz: (Whispering to Armando): Dude, we have to get ou- Mr. B: Well, well, well!! If it isn’t my two favorite students! Well, least favorite, right now. Seems like you’ve caught me… red-handed. (He holds up his hands, the blood-red paint dripping off of them.) Armando: What is even going on here, Mr. B? Mr. Beckett: I’m glad you asked. You see, I think that cats are a superior being, superior to even us humans. Superior even, to foxes. (He points to Higz.) Don’t you agree? Armando: Uhh- Mr. Beckett: So, I found out that through the sacrifice of this one cat, (he points to his cat in the middle of the sigil,) I can summon the ultimate feline harbinger of DEATH and DESTRUCTION!! The MASTER RACE will come into CONTROL, don’t you see??? (Armando and Higz just look at each other with faces full of horror. Armando slowly pulls out his phone.) Mr. Beckett: The cat demon will bring about the end of all species, humans, foxes, stupid DOGS, and nobody can STOP- (As he’s finishing that sentence, he’s cut off as the scene cuts to a mental asylum truck that’s pulling away from the front of the school. Standing on the sidewalk is Higz and Armando.) Armando: Well, Higz, I think we learned an important lesson today. Higz: Yeah. (He pauses for a second.) Wait, what is it? Armando: Never become the teacher’s pet. Because you might end up in a sacrificial ritual to summon a demon that ends all of mankind. Higz: Ayy, good one! Armando: Yeah!! (They high-five, and a freeze-frame of them high-fiving concludes the episode.)
