Scene 1

SCENE 1
FINDLEY and LUCAS are ON SCREEN. Findley introduces himself.
FINDLEY (TO CAM)
I’m Findley!
Lucas then jumps aside, REVEALING a freaky looking fly behind
him, cobbled together from grapes, tooth pics, leaves, etc.
LUCAS (PROUDLY, TO CAM)
And so is THIS!
Findley eyes the freaky sculpture, then TO CAM. Disturbed.

Scene 2

INT. BOY’S BEDROOM - FLOOR - DAY
We see Findley, dramatically posed. Lucas is being an artist and calmly doodling Findley’s portrait with a pencil nub on a scrap piece of note paper.
AVOCADO (LOUD, O.S.)
ARO! Startled, Findley breaks his pose. Lucas jerks the nub across the paper, giving the drawing of Findley a big mustache.
LUCAS (WORRIED, TO FINDLEY)
Was that Avocado?!

Scene 3

INT. FAMILY ROOM - AVOCADO’S DOG BED - A MOMENT LATER
ON AVOCADO. She’s laying in her dog bed, upset and howling.
AVOCADO
ARO! Lucas and Findley RUSH IN, straight to Avocado’s side.
LUCAS
What’s wrong, Avocado?!
AVOCADO
The most terrible thing in the
world happened!
FINDLEY (SHOCKED)
<GASP!> Your food bowl is empty?!
Avocado shakes her head, no.
--- PAGE BREAK --- Lucas the Spider -- Spikey 2 2.
AVOCADO
Worse. Spikey is... MISSING!
Lucas looks TO CAM, devastated:
LUCAS (TO CAM)
Not Spikey!!!
(To Avocado)
Wait. What’s a Spikey?
AVOCADO
Spikey was my favourite new toy! It
made me feel all warm. And made my
tail go all thump, thump, thump.
Findley nervously edges away from Avocado’s thumping tail.
FINDLEY (UNEASY)
Er, sounds like you really love
Spikey.
AVOCADO (GETTING UPSET)
I do. Just thinking about it makes
me feel sad again. ARO!
LUCAS
Don’t worry, Avocado... I know! We
can help you look for Spikey!
AVOCADO (PLEASED, PERKING UP)
Really?!
FINDLEY
Can you show us what it looks like?
AVOCADO
Um... Kinda like this...
Avocado mimics the toy by crawling on her belly (it’s a
crocodile – though she doesn’t know what one is).
AVOCADO (CONT'D) Spikey’s got a low belly and little legs. And snappy teeth! RAWR! Avocado bites the air. Nervous, Findley hides behind Lucas. AVOCADO (CONT'D) And Spikey makes a squeaky sound. Squeak! Squeak! And it has little pokies all over it! Lucas and Findley turn to each other and shrug. --- PAGE BREAK --- Lucas the Spider -- Spikey 2 3.
LUCAS
What kinda creature is that?!
WIPE TO LATER: Lucas is now equipped with his pencil nub and easel. LUCAS (CONT'D) Lets try this again. Can you describe what Spikey looks like?
AVOCADO (CONCENTRATING)
Spikey has little legs. And a long
tail. It’s soft but crunchy. It’s
kinda green. But kinda not. And it
smells really bad. Which is great!
LUCAS (CONCENTRATING)
Ah-huh... Smelly... Got it...
Findley watches over Lucas’s shoulder as he sketches
feverishly all over the page.
LUCAS (HOPEFUL) (CONT'D) Is this Spikey? Lucas REVEALS the image. It looks like a nonsense animal (vaguely a crocodile shape). Avocado nods.
AVOCADO
Yup. Kinda like that! But also not.
Lucas looks TO CAM and blinks, baffled. Then he seems to
shake off his doubts and musters his determination.
LUCAS (DETERMINED)
Leave it to us, Avocado.
(To Findley)
Let the Spikey search begin!

Scene 8

INT. FAMILY ROOM - SOMETIME LATER
Avocado is waiting eagerly as Lucas and Findley RETURN.
AVOCADO (EAGER)
Well? Did you find Spikey? Did ya?
FINDLEY (DISAPPOINTED)
Sorry Avocado...
--- PAGE BREAK --- Lucas the Spider -- Spikey 2 5.
LUCAS (DISAPPOINTED)
We looked everywhere. But Spikey is
gone. Will you be OK?
Avocado dramatically collapses in her dog bed.
AVOCADO (MOPING)
Not without Spikey! ARO!
Lucas and Findley turn to each other. Lucas shakes his head.
LUCAS (IN DISBELIEF)
What a tragedy...
FINDLEY (HOPEFUL)
Maybe another toy will make Avocado
feel better?
LUCAS (PERKING UP, EXCITED)
<GASP!> Great idea, Findley!
A beat later. We’re ON AVOCADO, laying limp in her bed.
LUCAS (O.S.) (CONT'D) Avocadooo! We found a new toy for yooou. CUT TO Lucas and Findley, waving enticingly at a nearby dog bone on the floor, like Vanna White. LUCAS (CONT'D) It’s a chewy thing! Mmm-nom-nom! Lucas nibbles the bone a bit to encourage Avocado. LUCAS (GROSSED OUT) (CONT'D) <MOUTH SPUTTERS> BACK ON Avocado. She doesn’t budge. CUT TO: Lucas and Findley waving enticingly at a shoe.
FINDLEY (UNSURE)
How about a um, foot thing? ...No?
CUT TO: Lucas and Findley waving enticingly at a remote
control on the floor:
LUCAS
Check it out! A boop-thing!
Lucas can’t help himself and pokes a button on the remote.
--- PAGE BREAK --- Lucas the Spider -- Spikey 2 6. LUCAS (CONT'D) Boop! We hear a <TV> switch on somewhere O.S. in the B.G. BACK ON Avocado in her bed. She hasn’t reacted at all. Lucas and Findley return to Avocado, her head hanging low.
AVOCADO
Thanks... But they’re just not
Spikey! Spikey was one of a kind…
Lucas looks sad, but then gets an idea! He turns TO CAM:
LUCAS (SCHEMING, TO CAM)
...Or was it?

Scene 9

INT. ATTIC - LATER THAT NIGHT
ANGLE ON the dark attic window. WE hear a low <THUNDER> roll. ANGLE ON Findley and Lucas on the floor. Findley shifts around nervously.
FINDLEY
Are you sure this is a good idea,
Lucas?
LUCAS (TRIUMPHANT)
Yes, Findley - we’re going to
make... Spikey 2!!!
<THUNDERCLAP!> Lucas, produces a sewing needle! Then, he
consults his drawing of Spikey on the note paper.
LUCAS (CONT'D) Let’s see... Avocado said Spikey had legs and a tail... ANGLE ON Findley. He dives into the treasure chest pile and pulls items out, considering a crayon, a toy tennis racquet, a cocktail toothpick, etc.
FINDLEY
These could be legs! But wait. How
many legs do you think Spikey has?
Lucas shrugs.
CUT TO: --- PAGE BREAK --- Lucas the Spider -- Spikey 2 7. Lucas paces around the beginnings of Spikey 2. A pickle with many random objects stuck into it for legs and a tail.
LUCAS (STUDYING SPIKEY 2)
Ok… It’s kinda green and kinda not.
Which is good! But Avocado also
said Spikey was soft.
FINDLEY (CORRECTING)
And crunchy. Soft AND crunchy!
Confused, Lucas and Findley both look TO CAM:
LUCAS (CONFUSED, TO CAM)
What kind of creature is soft and
crunchy?!
CUT TO: Lucas and Findley have just finished sticking cereal pieces to the body of Spikey 2, now with a pompom head. (It’s sort of like a crocodile, but in a really off putting way). LUCAS (CONT'D) There! Soft and crunchy pokies.
FINDLEY (UNCERTAIN)
It um, looks kinda weird.
Lucas consults the drawing again.
LUCAS
That’s because we forgot one thing.
Avocado said Spikey 2 must be…
(Triumphant)
SMELLY!!! We hear another <THUNDER CRACK!> WIPE TO:

Scene 10

INT. KITCHEN - MOMENTS LATER
Lucas and Findley are next to Spikey 2. It’s sitting in the recycling box that looks very, very gross.
LUCAS (A LITTLE GROSSED OUT)
<SNIFF-SNIFF> Ew.
Pleased with themselves, Lucas and Findley hi-five!
--- PAGE BREAK --- Lucas the Spider -- Spikey 2 8.

Scene 11

INT. FAMILY ROOM - DAYBREAK
ANGLE ON the window. It’s now a bright, sunny morning. ANGLE ON Findley and Lucas. They look exhausted as they roll Spikey 2 to Avocado’s bed on Lucas’ buggy, for the big reveal. Despite their hard work, it’s quite freaky looking.
LUCAS
Avocado... Meet Spikey 2!
Beat.
AVOCADO
That doesn’t look anything like
Spikey!
Findley and Lucas immediately deflate.
LUCAS/FINDLEY
Oh.
FINDLEY (WORRIED)
You don’t like it?
AVOCADO (MATTER OF FACT)
No.
(Surprising Lucas/Findley)
...I LOVE it!!!
LUCAS (PERKING UP, EXCITED)
<GASP!> Really?!
Findley bounces up and down, doing happy <CLAPS>.
AVOCADO
Yup! My friends must really love me
alot, to make me a Spikey 2! Wow!
Contended, Avocado immediately trots off toward the garden
door.
LUCAS
Wait! Where are you going?
AVOCADO (STATING THE OBVIOUS)
Um, to burry Spikey 2 in the yard?
That’s what I do with all the stuff
I like.
Lucas and Findley look a little deflated as Avocado EXITS.
--- PAGE BREAK --- Lucas the Spider -- Spikey 2 9.
LUCAS
I wonder what happened to the real
Spikey?
FINDLEY
It’s a mystery.
Crumby the vacuum ENTERS and rolls past, drawing Findley’s
attention.
FINDLEY (PLEASANTLY SURPRISED) (CONT'D) Ah! Here’s breakfast!
