A “Wonderful” Day
[Robert walks down the sidewalk towards the dog park. Steve is excited, wagging his tail vigorously, jumping around in hopes of meeting new friends. They walk in, Robert immediately walking to the bench, and Steve to the tree. His arch nemesis, Chuck, climbs down.]
Chuck: Welcome back, you mutt.
Steve: You will not live another day if you just take a step off that tree.
Chuck: You’re bark is bigger than your bite.
Steve: Don’t start with the puns, buck tooth boy.
Chuck: I’m going to hurt you.
Steve: Too bad, my day couldn’t be ruined.
Chuck: Why you…
[Chuck attempts to jump on Steve, but he runs off in time, then heads towards Robert.]
Robert: Hey bud, look what I have.
[Robert takes out a tennis ball.]
Robert: Fetch.
[Robert throws the ball and Steve chases after it. The ball falls to the same tree Chuck was in. Chuck sees Steve chase after the ball, and takes it up the tree. Steve looks up at Chuck, who is mocking him. Steve tries to climb the tree, but fails. He slowly moves back to Robert who is now talking to Mary.]
Robert: Hey bud, where’s the ball?
[Steve whines.]
Mary: Is this Steve?
Robert: Ya, poor guy’s ball is gone.
Mary: Aww.
[Mary pets Steve.]
Robert: Well Steve, this is Mary.
[Steve looks at Mary.]
Robert: Her and I are going to eat supper together, so that means you get the house to yourself!
[Chuck approaches behind Mary, and jumps on her back. Mary screams like a chimpanzee and runs in circles. Steve, trying to get Chuck off, attacks Mary aswell.]
Robert: Steve! You do not do that! That is a bad boy.
[Steve lays down and whines. Mary, Robert, and Steve all walk back to Robert’s house.]
All Alone
[Steve watches as Robert and Mary walk out of the house; a one-story, two-bedroom house. A television in the distance is playing news about an officer getting an infection in the eye from a pacifier. Steve wonders around the residence, in hopes of finding scraps off a plate.]
Steve: Where is all the food? There has to something left.
[There is a knock on the door.]
Cop 2: Hello? Is there- Oh heck with it.
[Cop 2 lays down a wanted poster on the porch. It is of Demon Baby. Steve goes to check it out, but can’t open the door.]
Steve: Curse these thumbless paws! But back to finding food. He has to have left at least a cheeseburger on the table. Yes!
[Steve jumps on the table, eats the burger, then jumps back down. Behind him, the wall shows the shape of Demon Baby. Steve turns around as Demon Baby goes through the wall.]
Demon Baby: Hello there.
Steve: [Startled by Demon Baby’s looks] Stay back!
Demon Baby: Calm down. I mean you no harm. I simply ask a question: Will you help me?
Cheated by a Demon
[It has been only two hours, and many minions have been created from the use of Steve’s fur. Steve has made a deal of creating Demon Baby’s army using his fur, in return, becoming human. Steve is almost out of hair, half being removed.]
Steve: Is my help of no more use yet?
Demon Baby: It is no longer working, so yes. It seems you have brought yourself down just to become someone else; Pathetic.
Steve: What?
Demon Baby: You have foolishly weeped before me, believing me- a demon- to use this army for good? You are but a stupid, ignorant, mutt. Looking for scraps just for a meal? Your owner even abandoned you for a lady.
Steve: What are you saying?
Demon Baby: That your life is as no more, Steve. You are useless. I’m going to make you kick the bucket; to not feel good.
Steve: This is confusing.
[Demon Baby traps Steve in a corner.]
Steve: What are you doing?
Demon Baby: Silencing you.
Steve: Not if I escape you.
Demon Baby: Attack him!
[Steve rogers then jumps over Demon Baby, fleeing the house. The minions chase after Steve, throwing items at him, such as frying pans. The dog stops most of the minions with a bark, then numerous bites. He then takes back off. Demon Baby personally chases Steve. He instantly catches up to Steve. The hopeless dog pounces on the creature, dragging him on the road. The demon hops up with a baby rattle and hits Steve so hard, he dies. About three hours later, a car finally stops to investigate the corpse on the road. It is Robert. He looks closely at the poor dog to see if it’s hopefully not his. He starts to tear up. Before another word could be said, Demon Baby captures Robert.]
