Buddy, Cooler and others in “The Invisible Friend”

So this is the Hall of Puppy Power. What happens now?

Just watch.

Wow, wow!

It’s every pup’s dream come true. A happy home and loving master.

Hey, that’s me! And who’s that? Is that gonna be my master?

(Off-screen) Well, maybe. But if a puppy does things like snitching cookies.

(Off-screen) Or playing practical jokes.

(Off-screen) Or fooling with things he shouldn’t.

That puppy will never get a master. It’ll be a pound bound hound.

You see, Buddy, we know you did all those things and we know Bob isn’t real.

What? He is too real and he’s a better friend than any of you guys. (storming off)

Whoa. Took it pretty hard.

(Off-screen) Well, you are kinda rough on him.

Huh?

(becoming visible) After all, he does believe in me. He wasn’t lying on purpose.

B-B-B-B-B-Bob?

I don’t believe it!

And you can talk!

And you’re a dinosaur! Neato!

What were you expecting? A giant bunny rabbit?

Hey. Quit yanking my leash. You’re not real. So, uh, how can we see you?

Puppy Power made me visible. Up till now, I’ve only lived in Buddy’s mind. You see, Buddy’s been all alone since he was born. So he made me up. We play together, but I’m just pretend. Buddy needs a real friend.

Somewhere, there must be a boy who needs a friend like Buddy.

You know, I have a cousin who’s the make-believe friend of a lonely boy named Colin.

Ooh! Tell us everything, Bob-a-loo.

Well, you see, Colin was that something that was about… (whispers)
