Breath of Fresh Air
Setting: A quiet corner of the library, filled with towering shelves of books, where the faint rustle of pages turning creates a serene atmosphere.
[Scene opens with MITCHELL, an oversized toddler, sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by towering stacks of colorful picture books. He clutches a book titled "Adventures of a Brave Little Dinosaur." BOBBY, his friend with a Bible Belt charm, enters with a casual swagger.]
BOBBY:
(leaning down with a grin)
Hey, Mitchell! What’re you doin’ down here? You know you can’t just sit around in the library all day, right?
MITCHELL:
(eyes wide with excitement)
But Bobby! This book is about a dinosaur who goes on adventures! Isn’t that cool?
BOBBY:
(chuckling, shaking his head)
Yeah, buddy, but you gotta put the book down for a sec. We need to find a safe place to hang out.
(Bobby grabs Mitchell’s hand, pulling him up. They waddle toward a more secluded corner of the library.)
MITCHELL:
(looking anxious)
But what if the dinosaur gets lost without me?
BOBBY:
(patting Mitchell’s back)
Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he’s okay. Just crawl for a bit and let your pamper breathe!
(As they reach a cozy nook, Bobby encourages Mitchell to crawl. MITCHELL giggles, his shorts sliding down slightly, revealing his pamper. He takes a deep breath, relishing the freedom.)
MITCHELL:
(giggling)
Ahhh, fresh air!
(Suddenly, MITCHELL’s expression changes, a look of realization dawning on his face.)
MITCHELL:
Oh no, I can’t hold it!
(A loud, exaggerated poop noise echoes through the library, causing both boys to freeze. MITCHELL’s pamper sags dramatically as he pushes out a grand finale fart, the sound echoing like a trumpet.)
BOBBY:
(bursting into laughter)
Mitchell! You’re a legend!
(To ease MITCHELL’s embarrassment, BOBBY leans closer, playfully pushing a fart into MITCHELL’s face.)
BOBBY:
(giggling)
See? You’re not the only one!
MITCHELL:
(laughing, paci in mouth)
Thanks, Bobby! I feel better now!
(The two boys erupt in laughter, the tension broken. They sit back against the wall, surrounded by the quiet of the library, their friendship solidified in this ridiculous moment.)
[Scene fades out, leaving the audience with a sense of warmth and humor amidst the chaos.]
