Mixie and Spoore are sitting in the house playing with toys. They are building with wooden building blocks.
Spoore: Look, I built a hamburger!
Mixie: I made a tree!
Spoore: Your tree looks like a yummy lollipop!
The mailman arrives and slides some letters through the mail slot.
Spoore: Let's see if we got the new cooking magazine!
He looks through the papers.
Spoore: No food magazine. Here's a letter. It says: To Agent 551.
Mixie: Open it!
Spoore: It says: To Agent 551, this is the boss. I have set my plan up to rule the world on Monday.
I have created a set of laws that everyone except me and my faithful henchmen must follow!
Number one: No planting trees!
Number two: No eating anything yummy!
Number three: Always bow down to me!
Number four: Tell everyone that I am the best ruler ever!
Number five: Never disagree with anything I say!
If people break any of these laws, I will throw them in the dungeon. FOREVER!!!
From Mister Spooky
Mixie: This doesn't sound good! This spooky guy wants to make us stop eating yummy food! And we have to do everything he says! What do we do?
Spoore: Mom and Dad will know what to do. They should be home from the store any minute.
The twins continue to play with their blocks until their parents come home.
Mixie: Mom! Dad! Mister Spooky is going to take over the world and make us follow all his evil laws! He says we can't eat anything yummy, and we can't plant any trees!
Mom laughs.
Mom: You have an active imagination!
Spoore: No, we aren't pretending! Mister Spooky is real!
Mom: You twins have been watching too much TV!
Dad: Let's go to the new pizza place. You'll forget all about the evil dude.
Mixie and Spoore: Yay! Pizza!
Mixie and Spoore: Yay! Pizza!
The next day, Mixie and Spoore see their mom packing some clothes into her travel bag. Dad comes in the room with his bag packed up.
Spoore: Where are you going?
Dad: We're taking a business trip to New York. We will be back by Tuesday.
