The Blue Tarantula

[The scene begins with Ruby reading a story for Max]

Ruby: Ok, Max, just one more story and then it's lights out.

[Max finds an interesting book]

Max: Tarantula.

Ruby: I don't know, Max. The blue Tarantula is for bigger bunnies. It might give you bad dreams. Lets read "goodnight, Snoozy," instead. This is a good story. "Good night, Snoozy".

[Max doesn't want to read it. He wants to read about the blue tarantula]

Max: Tarantula.

Ruby: OK, Max. But stop me if it gets too scary, or you'll be up all night.

[Max tries to be brave while Ruby reads about it]

Ruby:'' Late one dark and stormy night, there was a shadow on the wall. The blue tarantula was ready to strike again. Who will be his next victim? Will it be you? ''(gasps)

[Max hides underneath the covers]

Ruby:'' Or will it be the little bunny next door? But you know what the blue tarantula knows for sure.''

[The sky then begins to darken and Max hides under the blanket]

Ruby: ''So the next time you squish a bug, watch out! The blue tarantula might just squish you. The end! ''I'm glad the blue tarantula isn't mad at me, Max.

[She sees Max still hiding]

Ruby: Max? Don't worry, Max. The blue tarantula only squishes bad bunnies. It's now time for you to get some sleep.

[She turns off the switch]

Ruby: Night night. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

[Ruby closes the door. Max still sits on his bed trying to feel brave. Then he hears a funny noise. Max thinks it is coming from the cupboard]

Max: Tarantula.

[He gets out of bed and goes to Ruby's room]

Ruby: Night night, Max.

[Then sees Max on her bed]

Ruby: Max, why are you in my bed?

Max: Tarantula.

Ruby: It's good night, Snoozy from now on, Max.

Max: Tarantula.

Ruby: There's no blue tarantula in your cupboard. He's just in the story. (shows Max nothing scary inside the cupboard) See? Now go to sleep.

[Ruby closes the door and Max still sits here. The wind appears and Max thinks it was a tarantula coming in. Ruby goes into her room and falls asleep. Max comes to check on her]

Ruby: Huh?

Max: Tarantula.

Ruby: It's just a story, Max. There is no blue tarantula. There's no blue tarantula in your cupboard, there's no blue tarantula outside your window, and there's no blue tarantula under your...

[A funny noise is heard again]

[Max gets up and finds out what it is]

[A funny noise appeared again]

Ruby: Oh, that sound is definitely coming from under your bed.

(a funny noise comes again)

Ruby: Stand back, Max. Looking under beds is a big sister's job. (Max grabs her) Huh?

[Ruby ignores Max and goes under his bed. Then she sees something]

Ruby: What is this, Max?

[Ruby plays the tune by shaking it, all the funny noise was Max's jack-in-the-box]

Ruby: It's just your jack-in-the-box. I told you it's just a story. So you need to get some rest.

[Ruby leaves the room and Max gets his lobster]

Ruby: (humming) Good night, Max.

[Max turns on the lobster and walks into Ruby's room. Ruby gets up]

Ruby: Max? Is that you, Max?

[She looks around and sees the windows bringing the wind]

Ruby: (gasps) The blue tarantula!

[She goes into Max's room]

Ruby: Move over, Max.

[She hides under Max's blanket. Max watches as the lobster comes in and goes under the bed]

Max: Tarantula.
