INT. FOOD COURT - DAY
Spinning cup. Lands on Tristen.
TRISTEN
I'm afraid to be a kid again.
ABRAM
Care to elaborate?
TRISTEN
It's hard to be yourself when everyone expects you to be someone else. Sometimes I wish I could go back to when I couldn't care less.
FLYNN
The lion returns. Anyone know where we can get a cape?
SAVANNAH
I know a place.
INT. MAGIC STORE – DAY
Tristen leads the group out of the store. All of them wearing magician capes. They walk down the mall as one. Tristen nods and smirks at the people he walks by. Abram tips his magician's top hat. Torie flips the color-changing handkerchief she's wearing as a scarf. Flynn fixes his bow tie. Savannah pops her cape collar.
When they arrive at a department store, Abram takes of his top hat and reveals a stuffed bunny.
ABRAM
Who wants to save the bunny first?
DEPARTMENT STORE/ ACCESSORIES
They're playing Hot and Cold, unleashing their inner child. Tristen searches around the hats, ignoring the customer stares.
TORIE
You're cold. So cold.
Tristen keeps looking around.
FLYNN
Hot. You're burning up.
Tristen turns around and finds the bunny sitting on the bottom of the sunglasses display wearing shades. He picks him up. Gives him a fist bump wearing white gloves.
SHOE DEPARTMENT
Savannah opens a box of shoes and finds the bunny sitting in a pair of boots. She lifts him up in victory for all the people to see.
BED AND BATH DEPARTMENT
Flynn looks around, confused. Then he sees the bunny tucked in one of the display beds. He pets him. A customer walks by, curious. Savannah makes a shushing gesture.
BABY DEPARTMENT
Torie finds the bunny stuffed in a baby onesie on a rack. She squeezes it. A toddler watches, wondering what's going on.
FURNITURE DEPARTMENT
Abram finds the bunny peeking out from behind a pillow. He gets on the sofa and snuggles with it. Torie throws a pillow at him.
HOME ELECTRONICS
They all stand together in hero poses, wind blowing their hair and capes. They're standing in front of a bunch of fans. A sales lady appears. She's all business. No time for foolery.
SALES ASSOCIATE
Can I help you with something?
TORIE
Our job is done here.
ABRAM
Have a nice day.
He makes a flower appear out of his magic wand and hands it to the lady before walking away. This brings a smile to her face.
