HE SNORES HORN PLAYS

HORN SCREECHES

-Must you be doing that now?

-I have to practise.

I've got my Grade 3 bubblehorn exam scheduled for tomorrow.

And I've got my afternoon nap scheduled for right now.

Can't you at least play something more soothing so I can get to sleep?

How about a traditional Venetian lullaby?

Anything is better than that racket.

ALARM

-Agh, agh, agh!

-What? What?! What is it?

Are we exploding or being sucked into a black hole?

-What is it?

-We're missing Dani's House.

Oooh.

-Hi, guys, my name's Dani and this...

-Is her best friend Jack.

-Thanks.

-My name's Dani and this...

-Is her brother Max.

-And his best friend Ben.

-As I was saying, my name's Dani and this...

-Is her friend Ruby.

-And I'm her sister Maisy.

And I'm Dani and this is the brilliant...

ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

WHISTLE BLOWS

ALL LAUGH

HE BEATBOXES

Dani, the front door was open.

Whoa. Dani?

-Dani?

-Aaagh! Aaagh!

-Ahh!

What time is it? What... what happened?

I think you've been burgled. Maybe a fox got in

and trashed the kitchen, dragged you down the stairs

and left you here where you stayed asleep all night.

-Oh, not me as well!

-Not you as well, what?

-Sleepwalking.

-I think I did this in my sleep.

-Seriously?

-This is just what I need.

I've got a big scene on Monday. I need my wits about me.

Now I'm going to be exhausted.

What did your other family members do when it happened to them?

I'll call my cousin Lawrence. He managed to cure himself.

-That's brilliant.

-Aw, I've not seen Lawrence in years.

He was so cute with his little rosy cheeks and his freckles.

I'll call him right now.

-Er, Dani?

-Hmm?

-That's the TV remote.

It's been a long night. Apparently.

DOORBELL RINGS

Now, guys, remember to be nice to Lawrence.

We know, you've been going on all day

about how shy and quiet and sensitive he is.

He is, though! We used to have dollies' tea parties together.

He used to love playing games with me. He was so adorable.

Anyway, everyone, meet my cousin Lawrence.

Brace yourselves. This is the dawning of the age of Megaboyd.

-Can we help you?

-Dani, it's me, your cousin.

-Lawrence?

My name's Megaboyd now. Lawrence is no more.

The caterpillar became a beautiful butterfly.

A beautiful butterfly called Megaboyd?

I had a vision one morning while eating my waffles.

I needed to become...

-Megaboyd. We heard.

-A mega name for a mega fella.

-You smell weird.

Natural funky musk.

-Plus I think I trod in something on the way here.

-Eugh.

-Anyway, these are my friends. This is Jack. And this is...

-I'm Ruby.

-Hey! And I'm Maisy, just in case you're wondering.

-Not really.

Why didn't you tell us your cousin is so cool?

Anyway, Lawrence, I mean, Megaboyd,

-there's a reason why I invited you here.

-Sleepwalking.

Mum and Dad told me. Walk with me, Dani-O.

-- He's awesome. - He's annoying.

-He's....

MOBILE RINGS

Hello, Ruby's personal training service? Oh. Sorry to hear that.

OK, well, I understand. Thanks for letting me know.

Great(!) Another one of my clients just cancelled on me.

No-one wants me to be their fitness instructor any more.

I'm not surprised. Who wants to be downwind of your smelly pits

after an hour in the gym? Peuw!

For your information, they ditched me

for stupid short-term exercise crazes,

like dancercise and cowboyercise, not because I have BO.

Well, at least you admit you have it.

Jack, I can't afford to lose clients like this. Do I have BO?

A little bit, yeah.

-What's cowboyercise?

-Oh, it's where you get fit by doing this. Yee-ha!

-It's barely real exercise.

-Maybe you should start a craze of your own.

Like cakercise, where you get fit by eating cakes.

-Somehow I don't think that'll work.

-All right, well, you're the expert.

I'm just a simple DJ.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Ah. I wonder...?

So you think you can cure my sleepwalking? So what's the plan?

Well, I need to watch you sleepwalking.

-So what do you say, Dani-O?

-Yeah, I say OK,

but please don't call me Dani-O,

it makes me sound like a breakfast cereal.

Just put these on and snooze.

I can't just drop off. I only got up a couple of hours ago.

I can solve that.

And sleep!

And sleep!

-And sleep now.

-This isn't working.

-You have done this before, haven't you?

-Of course I have.

HE SNORES

What? Oh, hello. I'm Snorebert Zees, and you're watching Sleepy Time,

the magazine show that's all about snoozing.

Coming up today,

we look at some of the new things you can count instead of sheep.

But first, our special guest.

Please welcome Mr Torpid Nap, who says he loves sleep so much

he claims to spend 99% of his time in the land of Nod.

Torpid, welcome to Sleepy Time.

HE YAWNS

SNORING

I guess that's one way to pass the time.

-Yo. What's all this?

-I'm making posters for my new fitness class.

Ruby's DJ-ercise.

-Thought I could put them up in the gym and get some business.

-DJ-ercise?

-What, as in DJing?

-I saw you DJing

and thought I could combine some of your moves

with my personal training programme, create a new form of exercise.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

I should probably thank you for giving me the idea.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Those are my moves.

-You can't use my moves in your fitness class.

-Er...why not?

Because they're my moves.

They're unique, they belong to me, you...you...

-moves thief!

-If you're really that bothered,

why don't you come up with your own DJ-ercise business?

I will. OK, then. Yeah, I'll make my own poster. Yeah.

I'll call it something really snappy and original like...

Jack's DJ-ercise...business. Yeah, how do you like them apples?

-Are you serious?

-Just check out how serious I am.

At last, she's asleep.

-What are you doing?

-Sssh! It's important you don't wake her.

-I have to see Dani sleepwalking.

-What's with the headphones?

-What headphones?

-What are you really doing, so-called Megaboyd?

I'm just trying to help. You're too young to understand.

Too young? I'm more or less the same age as you, you fish cake.

You're up to something.

-SHE SNIFFS

-I can smell it.

Dani is Megaboyd's favourite cousin.

-Why would he want to get revenge on her?

-Hmm, who mentioned revenge?

I... Revenge... Don't you just love these cushions? They're so nice.

I'm not buying this favourite cousin guff.

-Whatever you're up to, I want in.

-Megaboyd isn't up to anything.

Well, I've got my eye on you.

Ow!

Stand back. This is it, she's sleepwalking.

DANI GARBLES

This is going to be crispy.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Jack's DJ-ercise business is a go.

Jack, it takes years to become a personal trainer.

Yeah, and it took literally hours to develop my DJ moves.

So we'll see who's the best when I get this bad boy up in the gym.

You've spelled your name wrong.

SQUAWKING

-DANI SQUAWKS

-How awesome is this?

We have to wake her up.

DANI SCREAMS

RUBY SCREAMS

-DANI SCREAMS

-Oi, look out!

Awesome!

The sleepwalking mind is like a delicate flower.

-It should be treated with...

-Fertiliser?

-Care!

Whoa. This is really weird. Why am I in here?

Eugh, why does my mouth taste like coffee?

-Oh, how bad was it?

-ALL: Bad.

What am I going to do?

Don't worry, I've recorded a series of soothing messages.

Listen to the recording when you go to sleep tonight

and I guarantee your sleepwalking nights will be over for good.

-And you're sure this will work?

-Yeah, I'm sure,

or my name isn't Megaboyd.

Your name isn't Megaboyd, it's Lawrence.

-ROBOTIC:

-Megaboyd departing now.

I love that little guy.

-OK, we're off.

-Good luck tonight with the sleepwalking.

I think tonight will be different with this.

I can't believe you're going to trust Megaboyd to help you.

He's my cousin. He's looking out for me.

He's completely annoying. He's only looking out for himself.

-I know it.

-He's wicked. He's what I want to be like when I grow up.

-Jack, you're almost twice his age.

-So? He's my new role model.

OK, so he can be a bit unique. But he's not trouble. He's not like Max.

-Or you.

-No, he's not like me at all.

He talks about himself in the third person.

"Megaboyd does this."

No, actually, scratch that, his real name's Lawrence.

Talks about himself in the fourth person.

-Admit it, Maisy, you think he's cute!

-Oooh!

Don't even go there,

I think he's a total idiot, and Maisy's going to prove it.

See! Now I'm doing it, it's catching!

-See you tomorrow.

-Yes, and we'll see how Megaboyd's help has gone.

-Laterz, Dani.

-Bye, guys.

Time for an early night, I think.

Actually, it's only 6pm, maybe that's too early.

CLOCK TICKING

OK, that's a bit later now.

RECORDING: This is the voice of Megaboyd.

You are feeling very calm.

You will get a restful night's sleep and not sleepwalk.

Sleep now, Dani, sleep and relax...

..for I am Megaboyd, the awesomest megadude of all time!

You will listen very closely to these messages.

Point one - I really love waffles.

You're here early.

I thought I'd get a head start.

I take my first DJ-ercise class today.

-Careful!

-Sorry.

-How are you feeling, anyway?

-Oh, amazing.

I feel so rested, Megaboyd's recording really worked.

He's just so amazing, Jack. he's clever and funny and cool,

and who'd have thought he'd become so mega?

He's probably the most incredible person I've ever met.

-OK, OK, I think you're overdoing it just a tad.

-You don't like him?

-I didn't say that.

-That's what you meant.

-Hold on, I said he was cool.

He's cooler than you'll ever be, and don't touch those waffles!

Those are for my amazing cousin, Megaboyd.

They're megawaffles, just how he likes them.

Are you sure you're feeling OK this morning?

-DOORBELL

-That'll be him!

Well, that was textbook weird.

Ooh, waffles!

So, Dani has an uncle who had a child with an aunt,

so why doesn't Megaboyd look like this?

Obviously because he gets his looks from his father's side.

Ah, Silly me.

Dani, you sure you're feeling OK?

I feel amazing, Jack.

Great, wonderful, perfecto, terrifico, never better.

Why do you ask?

Because you're acting a little strange.

-OK, a whole chunk of strange.

-Strange? What's strange?

That you suddenly think Megaboyd's your favourite person in the world.

Well, duh, there's a reason for that - because he is.

You've not seen him in years. In fact, I hadn't heard you

mention him before yesterday - in my book that makes all of this

very strange and weird, and just plain freaky.

DOORBELL

I'll tell you what's weird,

you're trying to stop me from answering the door!

I just want you to take a deep breath and look at how you're behaving.

-I thought you liked Megaboyd.

-I do...

Then why are you trying to stop me from seeing him?

I'm not, I just wondered whether, you might like a nice lie down -

whilst I call your parents and let them know you're having a crisis.

There is no time! Megaboyd's here!

OK, "chunk of the weird" - definitely too mild a description.

Megaboyd!

-You're not Megaboyd.

-Nice to see you, too.

-How's it happening, moonbags?

-Megaboyd!

Crispy.

I didn't sleepwalk, you cured me!

Thank you so much,

thank you so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so...

-And cut to the end.

-..so, so, so much.

Megaboyd never fails.

Come on, I've got something to show you.

Is it just me, or did she seem a bit to pleased to see him?

-Oh my...

-Don't even go there.

This is biting into places I didn't even know were there.

I hope you're not planning on using the den,

I have my first class in there.

Dani said I could use it for my DJ-ercise class.

Now, now, children, you'll just have to share the den.

-Fine!

-Fine, good, we'll share the den.

-Bring it on!

-Bring it on, hard as you like.

Oh, hard as YOU like!

I got all this for you, Megaboyd.

Megaboyd feels special.

Are you comfy enough? Had enough to eat? Enjoying the game?

Is there anything else I can get, you amazing person?

Wait there until I need anything else.

Anything for my Megaboyd.

-HONK!

-Sshh!

Urgh!

"How To Control The Sleeping Mind."

-RECORDING:

-For I am Megaboyd, the awesomest megadude of all time.

FAST FORWARDING

Point one - I really love waffles, and you are my personal waffle chef.

I knew he was up to something.

He's been putting thoughts into Dani's head while she sleeps.

Too young to understand, was I? Pah!

Megaboyd thanks you for buying him all this splendid gear.

-And how are your megawaffles?

-Megaboyd is enjoying them.

-Can I have some more?

-Coming right up!

-Megaboyd?

-S'up?

Remind me why I agreed to buy you all this stuff and make you waffles.

Cos I'm your favouritest cousin ever.

-Isn't it time for your morning nap?

-Morning nap?

Last night was treatment phase one -

we don't want you sleepwalking again.

OK, I guess you know what you're talking about.

Yeah, so just relax on the sofa and I'll find the headphones.

-Looking for these?

-Yeah...

Thanks.

You won't hear a thing.

-DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

-A-a-and scratch that vinyl. And scratch it.

And scratch and scratch and scratch that vinyl...

Spin, spin, spin-spin-spin, and rewind...

Spin, spin, spin-spin-spin, and rewind...

And bounce, two, three, four, and bounce, two, three, four...

-And rewind...

-Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce...

-..and rewind...

-..bounce, bounce...

You can't expect us to take part in two classes at once.

Well, here's an idea for you - how about you all join my class?

Don't listen to her, I'm the best, I'm the real DJ.

If anyone knows the DJ moves, it's me.

I'm the real personal trainer, I know everything about getting fit.

I'll give you your next class for free.

Well, I will give you your next five classes for free,

and I'll throw in a complementary Ruby's DJ-ercise T-shirt.

ALL: Oooh!

Well, I'll give you every class for free for forever,

plus free T-shirts for you, friends and family,

and I'll bring you all out for pizza this weekend.

And I'll even throw in an ice cream afterwards?

OK, fine, I quit the stupid DJ-ercise game, you win.

Ha! In your face, so-called Ruby.

I've seen that grin before.

It means you're up to something.

I'm only up to something if you are,

and you told me you're not up to anything.

I'm not to anything.

Good, then I believe you.

-How long was I asleep for?

-About an hour.

Hey, Dani, I'm all out of waffles, do you mind making me some more?

You want waffles? Fine, I'll make you waffles.

I'll waffle you up good and proper. Follow me.

Enjoy your waffles.

Worked like a charm.

High-five, Mais-arooney.

OK, so you win, but how long are you going to stay in business for?

Oh, I don't know, how about forever?

If you're giving your class away for free,

how you going to make any money?

Oh, Ruby, how little you know about business.

-You need to speculate to accumulate.

-Do you even know what that means?

I know what everything means.

Listen to me, you spanner, if you're paying for T-shirts

then giving them away, you're going to lose money.

How do you feel about that?

I still win, that's the important thing.

Well, I wish you the best of luck, cos you're going to need it.

So, where's my free T-shirt then?

Waffles, waffles, waffles, waffley waffles.

Dani, are you feeling OK?

Ah, yes, I'm just peachy, just making your waffley waffles.

Now, sit down. GO ON, SIT DOWN!

That's it. Get stuck in.

Make sure you don't forget the syrup.

What did Megaboyd do to deserve that?

I don't know why I did that.

It's time you and I had a little talk.

I don't know what's wrong with me - first the sleepwalking,

now when I wake up I feel like a different person.

Maybe those relaxation messages aren't as relaxing as you thought.

I guess not.

-MAISY'S RECORDING:

-You will listen carefully:

-you're no longer under Megaboyd's control.

-That's Maisy.

Yesterday it was Megaboyd.

You recorded a message telling Dani to be mean to me?

That truly is low.

It proves I have the smarts to get involved

in whatever scheme you're up to.

Megaboyd's not a schemer! He was just trying to teach Dani a lesson.

The way she used to treat me when we were younger.

She used to make me dress up and go to her dollies' tea parties.

One for Pollyanna, one for Mrs Muffin,

and one for little Lawrence.

You went to all this effort, just to get revenge?

-I'm impressed!

-I'm not little Lawrence the sailor boy any more.

I have a proposal.

Even by working separately we managed to control Dani completely.

If we became partners and worked together

then we could take over the world.

I'm not partnering with some little kid.

We're almost the same age, you nappy sack!

Stop treating me as if I'm nothing.

You didn't like it when Dani treated you like that.

OK, maybe together we could show Dani

that no-one messes with this megadude.

Fine. You've got a deal.

Eh, yeah - we need to work on that.

-RECORDING:

-You are no longer under Megaboyd's control.

You're under my control.

Megaboyd is your enemy.

I am going to teach Maisy and Megaboyd a lesson,

one they can't learn in school.

What, advanced ostrich plucking?

-No, Jack, revenge.

-You never really got the hang of being mean, did you?

-DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

-What the heck is that?

What do you think you're doing?

Hey, I didn't hear you come in.

-Why are you behind my decks?

-I was practising.

Jack said you were dropping out of DJ-ercise.

I'm not doing DJ-ercise. I decided to become a DJ.

But you can't do that, that's my thing!

How hard can it be? It is just a bit of this.

NOISY SCRATCHING

Noooo!

-Nice moves, Ruby.

-On second thoughts, maybe DJing isn't for me.

Tell you what, Jack - I'll quit DJing if you quit personal fitness.

Fine, anything, just stay away from my gear.

Oh, poor baby, what did the nasty lady do to you?

-Is it still working?

-I think so.

Good, cause I need it, and your smoke machine,

-and some spare turntables.

-OK.

But she's not coming anywhere near them.

BEEPING

I've got a customer!

Customers can wait - revenge comes first.

OK, so this is the list of things we're going to tell Dani

to get us when she next goes to sleep.

Half a ton of raspberry ripple ice cream,

our very own helter-skelter,

three ponies - each...

You can never have too many ponies.

And tickets to the grand reopening of Laser World.

Etc, etc, etc...

So, what do you think?

I reckon we record Dani's next sleep message.

What's going on?

GHOSTLY MOANING

Behold, the dreamscape of terror!

Wooh!

Maisy, what's going on?

Are you serious?

Welcome to your worst nightmare.

What? You three spinning about in a bit of fog?

Have you all lost your minds?

No, Maisy, you have lost your mind, for this is just a big scary dream!

Wooooh!

No, seriously, Megaboyd hates dreams like this.

I had one where my feet turned into potatoes.

This is freaking me out, I have to wake up.

Wake up, wake up...

It isn't a dream, Megaboyd.

Oooooh, ah!

Megaboyd knew that.

Fine! So maybe my plan didn't work,

but all I wanted to do was get you back.

You've been messing with my mind while I've been asleep.

-Megaboyd just wanted megarevenge.

-For what?

Mrs Muffin, and one for little Lawrence.

-I'm not little.

-You're whatever I say.

And you better get used to it, after this we're playing vets,

and you're going to be a penguin with a bladder problem.

And when you used to make me dress as a butterfly.

A pink butterfly.

-So not my colour.

-That was ages ago.

-And? Some scars take time to heal.

-You're my favourite cousin, though.

None of the others would let me.

And neither will Megaboyd. How are you going to repay me?

Whoa, I think we're quits. You turned me into your servant.

Anyway, I want to know what Maisy's going to do to make it up to me.

-Not so fast!

-What have I done?

At least Megaboyd had a reason to tinker with Dani's head,

-you just did it to prove a point.

-And I'm sure you'd hate

-for Mum and Dad to know you'd been misbehaving again.

-Coming through!

More waffles, Dani?

Don't mind if I do, Maisy.

-BOTH: Another major shake?

-Don't push it, it's only Dani I owe.

Thank you.

So, what will you do about your sleepwalking?

I got some advice off Megaboyd's parents.

I think I was just too stressed about my workload.

-So you just need to relax a bit more.

-Exactly.

Oh, this is well crispy.

Crispy?

Oh! That was such an exciting episode!

Don't you think, coordinator?

Coordinator?

SNORING

Ah, he's dreaming.

Lovely tickle...

Coordinator!
