Season 1, Episode 2

(Opening shot; fade in to the living room during the day. Some video game sound effects are heard. Shortly, Cocojack skids into view, punching the air after every step. He dons a pair of virtual reality goggles: in his perspective, the setting takes place in a dark forest infested with zombies. A couple more emerge from hiding after three are defeated, leaving yellow coins behind.) (Now he breakdances his way upstairs...backwards.) (The breakdance continues down the hall once upstairs.) (As he fights and breakdances, he skids right into one particular room. Cut to his perspective again; more zombies are defeated.) (The goggles are removed at the sound of her voice and there stood Snowcatcher, a look of intense fury is written all over her face. Cocojack screams at the sight. Cut to both; Cocojack has dance-fought his way into the 17-year-old and Diamond Rose’s room. Snowcatcher towers over her cowering brother.) (She turns her attention to her cell phone and talking into it; a now in place is her nicer side.) (Cocojack and his VR goggles are instantly thrown out of her room, followed by the door closing in his face. The boy in orange puts his goggles back on and resumes playing his way to the restroom, which is on the other side of the hall.) (Bathroom: once the door is shut, he removes his goggles and sets them on the sink.) (There is a knock on the door.) (The knocking turns into angry pounding.) (He opens the door to find Snowcatcher, who is on her phone and is far too engrossed in her phone call with her boyfriend to take notice of her brother.) (Snowcatcher pushes Cocojack out and closes the door.) (Irritated, Cocojack slowly makes his way to his and Feathermay’s room when he realizes something.) (He makes a quick turn and a rush to the bathroom when he is suddenly stopped by Fizzypop and Pinkie Pie; both are wearing sunglasses, orange belts, and police officer hats. The latter has a clipboard and pen in hand.) (Pinkie slaps a written note on Cocojack’s face.) (The twins step back to reveal Jolly in their room sitting in a cardboard jail cell.) (They leave. Cocojack goes to the now-unoccupied bathroom, where he is met by a horrible surprise: his gaming goggles are on the floor and wrecked in pieces.) (The distant sound of a car starting instantly gets him livid as a certain girl in blue came to mind.) (Cut to a side view of the Kids’ home; a van—with Snowcatcher as the driver—had just moved out of the garage and is now running down the road. Cocojack stuck his head out of the window.) (Dissolve to Cocojack and Feathermay in their room. The girl in orange observes the damage of the VR glasses. The white-haired twin paces around, still angry with Snowcatcher.) (She noticed her twin going through his brown drawer and he pulls out a sheet of paper. She takes it and reads it over.) (Cut to the sheet of paper; Cocojack wields a pencil and puts Snowcatcher’s name in the blank.) (Cocojack whips out his brown phone and dials a phone number. The faint sound of an air guitar playing can be heard. There was a brief moment of silence before Cocojack groans, losing his patience.) (Followed by a single beep.) (In an instant, he turns into a blind raging mess: Starlight Song comes in and happily rocks out, the loud music completely censors out Cocojack’s rant consisting of any possible harsh and foul language it may contain. During all this, Feathermay stares in total shock and on the edge of fainting. Starlight slides away.) (In comes Snowcatcher with a brand new pair of VR glasses.) (She leaves, and Cocojack instantly turns panicked as a realization settles in: he has made a terrible mistake. As he speaks, sounds of an instrument blocks off his foul words.) (Wipe to outside the room. Feathermay and Cocojack are peeking out the door. Pinkie and Fizzypop are tracking a trail of wet footprints that lead from Rainbow Flash and Flittershy’s room to Jolly and Starlight’s. Snowcatcher steps out of her and Diamond’s and closes the door. Close-up of a security panel on the wall as she enters the password. Back to her as she leaves, then cu to the older twins.) (Cut to their room.) (They bump fists. Cut to Feathermay in midair, close to the ceiling. She addresses to her brother using a walkie talkie.) (Tilt down to Cocojack.) (Cut to the younger twins staring down at some brown mush on the floor.) (The boy in brown leaps over them. Hearing a noise, the younger twins look up to find no one in sight. Cocojack takes cover on top of the doorway. He picks out a dead cricket and plucks it in one direction. The family’s pet snake, Geo—lavender with white spots, goes after it. This gets the two six-year-olds’ attention.) (Geo does not listen.) (They give chase to him. Meanwhile, Cocojack slips in through an air vent.) (Cut to Feathermay. In her hands is a schematic of the second floor of the house.) (The detailed diagram has a dotted line path with an X in one of the boxes. Judging by the position, this is Snowcatcher and Diamond’s room. Cut to the air vent in said room. Cocojack comes out through there to find that the phone is still charging.) (Cut to his orange-clad twin at the top of the stairs.) (She takes out a thermometer and an ice pack; both items are placed in the mouth and on the head, respectively. Lastly, she pulls out a red marker and makes red dots all over her face. Feathermay tosses it aside before Snowcatcher approaches.) (Meanwhile, Cocojack has the phone in hand and plays the message.) (He presses “delete”.) (With that, Cocojack leaps straight in the vent right before Snowcatcher could step foot inside the room. Snap to Feathermay and Cocojack in their room; the previous event turns out to be a dramatization of their plan going smoothly.) (The sound of a door opening alarms the two.) (Cut to Snowcatcher in the hallway. She locks her door and enters a security password on the panel before leaving, just like in the dramatization.) (Feathermay flies up the ceiling in the exact position during the dramatization. She speaks into the walkie-talkie.) (The loud feedback on the other end knocks Cocojack back before he sits back up to address her back.) (Pan to the younger twins surrounding a giggling Daisy Dreams and a diaper near her. Pinkie scribbles on a post-it note.) (More laughter from the baby as she waddles away, with the twins giving chase. Cocojack, wearing a gray hat, stealthily walks past, but Clink—the family’s dark purple-coated cat—leaps out of nowhere to land on his hat and starts padding it. Cocojack flails his arms and swats him off. Angered, Clink hits his face with his tail a couple times before running off. The boy was on the edge of sneezing; to stifle it, he used Daisy’s diaper…) (...only to realize it was used. He tosses it aside and ducks behind a door frame to upchuck. This did not go unheard by Pinkie and Fizzypop. They look up to find no one around; pan up to Cocojack, who has climbed up the doorway. He suddenly realizes he is slipping. Looking at his hands, there is purple jelly.) (Down below, Pinkie and Fizzypop caught sight of Daisy merrily crawling past them.) (They give chase to the black-haired infant. Once they are out of sight, Cocojack goes inside a nearby air vent. He pull out his walkie-talkie.) (Pan to frame the timid goth girl with a notebook in hand. Cocojack lets out a startled yelp at the sound of her voice.) (He chuckles. Smiling, the blue-haired girl crawls off. Out with the walkie-talkie.) (Cut to Feathermay looking at the diagram with great confusion.) (Cocojack crawls around a bit then stops at one hatch.) (He suddenly falls through the vent hatch...but is left hanging there. A slight zoom out frames Flittershy grabbing hold of his legs, saving him from hitting the bathroom floor. He is hanging directly above the toilet.) (The walkie-talkie hidden in the boy’s shirt fell out and met its doom in the toilet.) (Cocojack floats down. Grabbing a plunger, he easily gets the tool out.) (Realizing it's wet, he groans at the moist texture his tool has been contaminated with and hastily puts it aside.) (Wipe to a vent hatch in Snowcatcher and Diamond’s room; Cocojack peeks his head over.) (The hatch is removed and down comes a green rope. Cocojack enters the room via rope. Looking up, he noticed it's becoming undone.) (Cocojack screams and lands squarely onto the floor. Downstairs, Snowcatcher is in the living room when she heard a loud thud from upstairs. Angered, she floats upstairs to check it out. Cut to Feathermay near the top of the staircase; she hastily pulls out her radio to speak to her twin brother.) (Just like in the dramatization, she dons an ice pack on her head and a thermometer for the mouth. Red dots from a red marker were added. Snowcatcher comes up and stops when she notices her gray-haired sister.) (She does a sudden fake sneeze at Snowcatcher’s arm.) (The girl in blue makes a beeline to her room. Cut to Cocojack reaching out for her phone to complete the last part of his and his sister’s plan. He hears the doorknob moving. Cut to Snowcatcher entering with a displeased look on her face; no one is inside. Not too far from her, Cocojack rematerialized and reaches for her phone again. Snowcatcher looks under her bed.) (Cut to Cocojack; the family’s red/blue parrot—Sal—perches onto Cocojack’s stretched-out arm and pecks at it. The boy groans quietly, holding in a yelp of pain. The phone lets out a ding, meaning it is finished charging.) (She floats out of her room. Cocojack reaches for his radio.) (Said girl in orange is too focused with her phone to make contact with her brother on radio.) (Meanwhile, Snowcatcher is sitting on the couch in the living room. Phone in hand, she happily listens to the messages.) (A door is heard opening and then closed, indicating Feathermay’s departure.) (Upstairs; Cocojack makes a beeline dash to the stairs, only to have the younger twins stop him dead in his tracks.) (The twins turns around and Cocojack makes a run for it downstairs, though the distraction didn't work as expected.) (They head out for a “donut break”. Cut to downstairs, Cocojack had just arrived at the living room. A look of fear is on his face as he realizes he may be too late when his eldest sister has already got an earful of his message.) (Now he goes into a dive in her direction, all while in slow motion.) (Normal speed comes back and he falls to the floor with a thud.) (Cocojack pops into view, looking on in horror. However, the message is deleted before she could hear the rest. Irritation is clear on the blue-eyed redhead’s face.) (Snowcatcher’s phone starts ringing and she answers the call.) (She floats upstairs. A door is heard opening, and Feathermay flies up to him; a small bag is held in her hand. She has ditched the thermometer, ice pack, and free from the red marks on her face coming from a red marker.) (Cut to the bathroom. Snowcatcher is brushing her hair and standing in front of a mirror while speaking to her boyfriend on the phone.) (She suddenly gazes to the floor; the nasty letter about her. She puts her hair brush aside and picks it up.) (Cut to the pair downstairs. Heavy footsteps mark Snowcatcher’s approach and here she is, enraged and ready to destroy something. Cocojack has his new game goggles.) (Both put on their game goggles, dancing their way out the house and away from their sister’s wrath.) (Down comes Starlight, rocking out to censor Snowcatcher’s rant, just like he did for Cocojack. Snap to black.)
 * Cocojack: Yeah, that's right. Taste my tango, zombies!
 * Cocojack: Oh!...Ha! (Punch.) Ooh, eat that knuckle sandwich! (Kick.) With a side of kicks! WOO!
 * Cocojack: Ha!...Yeah! Oh-Oh! (Twerk.) Look! I'm a mean, green, twerking machine! Yeah! Taste my twerks, you evil jerks! (Spin kick.) I’ll even spin kick your faces off too! HOO! (Uppercut punch.) How’s that punch for ya, zombies? (Several punches.) Oh!...Boom!...In your face, zombies! Kiss your rotting bones goodbye!
 * Cocojack: Ooh! Nothing can stop the unstoppable, quick, fighting, breakdancing, fearless—
 * Snowcatcher: (snarling) Cocojack!
 * Cocojack: (fearfully) Snowcatcher!
 * Snowcatcher: There's only one rule is this house. (points to door) Stay out of my bedroom! (shakes fist) And if I catch you in here again, I will literally turn you into a stupid pretzel!
 * Snowcatcher: Oh, no. Not you, Bobby. (Giggle.) Just give me a sec, okay?
 * Cocojack: ALL RIGHT!...Huh! Yeah! In your face, zombies!...Ooh! (Swinging punch.) Ha! A swing of my fist and BAM! Out like a light! (Swinging arms while moon dancing.) Ha! Get a load of my arm-swinging moon-dancing combo! Ha ha! Eat that, suckers!
 * Cocojack: Zombies don't need to see this.
 * Cocojack: Occupied!
 * Cocojack: (groaning) Oh, for the love of…
 * Snowcatcher: (on phone) Bobby, you’ll never guess what Misty said to me today.
 * Cocojack: (rhetorically) That you don't respect a man’s privacy?
 * Snowcatcher: (on phone) No, silly! Not even. She was all like…
 * Cocojack: Oh no! My gaming glasses!
 * Fizzypop: No running in the hallway!
 * Cocojack: Huh? What are you talking about?
 * Pinkie Pie: Fizzypop, is this maggot giving you lip? (writes Cocojack up)
 * Fizzypop: We’re the new hall monitors at school, so we’re practicing at home.
 * Pinkie Pie: If we catch you speeding again, you're going downtown! We already locked up Jolly Hop for telling bad jokes.
 * Jolly Hop: Hey! Did you hear the one about the thief who stole a calendar? He got twelve months! Ha! Get it?
 * Pinkie Pie: That's five more minutes, cotton candy head!
 * Cocojack: Fine, then. I'll walk within the speed limit. I swear.
 * Fizzypop: NO SWEARING!
 * Cocojack: Someone wrecked my gaming goggles! (on his knees) NOOOOOOOOO!!!
 * Cocojack: (growling) Snowcatcher…
 * Cocojack: SNOWCATCHER, YOU DIRT BAG!
 * Cocojack: ...One minute I'm virtual-dancing with the undead, and the next...UGH! Game over! IT’S ALL SNOWCATCHER’S FAULT!
 * Feathermay: I can't believe it.
 * Cocojack: I know! She didn't even say sorry!
 * Feathermay: No. I mean...I can't believe you thought Snowcatcher would do this on purpose. Don't you think it could've been an accident?
 * Cocojack: No! She's a monster, Feathermay! All she cares about is talking on her stupid phone! Well, I'm gonna give her a call she’ll never forget…
 * Feathermay: CJ, don't even do it.
 * Feathermay: “Why ‘blank’ is the worst sibling ever?” What the heck? What are you gonna say?
 * Cocojack: (evilly) Oh, dear sister. I knew this would come in handy someday. I just didn't know which one of us would be getting it.
 * Cocojack: (from o.s.) But you, Snowcatcher, have made my decision very easy.
 * Cocojack: Ugh! Must be charging her phone. No worries. I'll just leave it on her voicemail.
 * “Voicemail”: (Snowcatcher’s voice) Hey, this is Snowcatcher. You know what to do.
 * Cocojack: Hey, Snowcatcher. It's your dear brother, Cocojack. There's something I've been meaning to tell you. You are…
 * Cocojack: ...AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE THE WORST SIBLING EVER!!! (Hang up.) What do you think, Feathermay?
 * Feathermay: (slightly dazed) Uhhhhhhh…
 * Snowcatcher: Hey, CJ. I just wanna apologize for stepping on your stupid toy. So I went out and bought you a stupid new one.
 * Cocojack: (shocked) You did what now? (Snowcatcher hands him the toy.)
 * Snowcatcher: Also I'm very impressed you didn't freak out over this. Very mature.
 * Cocojack: (nervously chuckles) Yep. That's me. Mr. Mature.
 * Cocojack: Feathermay! What have I done? I called Snowcatcher a— (Guitar riff.) —when she's actually a— (Harp string.) What am I gonna do?! You're right! Snowcatcher clearly hasn't listened to the voicemail yet, or I'd be a stupid pretzel. We gotta delete the message!
 * Feathermay: (out of trance) Huh?
 * Cocojack: Good talk.
 * Cocojack: (softly) Perfect! Snowcatcher doesn't have her cell, which means it's still in there charging. Our mission is to infiltrate her room and delete the message before she gets back.
 * Feathermay: (softly) Dude, her room is off limits.
 * Cocojack: (softly) I know. That's why I need you to be on the lookout for her.
 * Feathermay: That’ll be easy, bro.
 * Cocojack: Then let's do this!
 * Feathermay: In position.
 * Cocojack: Roger that.
 * Fizzypop: I know poop when I see it, and that's definitely some poop. (Cut to Cocojack.)
 * Cocojack: (hushed) Darn! Brown mush! I'm gonna have to go over.
 * Fizzypop: Hey, snake face! No speeding!
 * Fizzypop & Pinkie: Hey! What did we just say? Get back here!
 * Cocojack: I'm in.
 * Feathermay: Good. Proceed two clicks north, make a left, and you should be right over the target.
 * Feathermay: (through walkie talkie) Cocojack! Snowcatcher’s coming!
 * Cocojack: You're going to have to stall her!
 * Feathermay: Roger that…
 * Feathermay: (fake cough, in a raspy voice) H-Hi…Snowcatcher. I...I kinda need help here f-from my big sis.
 * Snowcatcher: Yeah. You can literally start by not being so close to me, thank you.
 * “Message”: (Cocojack’s voice) Hey, Snowcatcher. It's your dear brother, Cocojack.
 * Cocojack: (proudly) Message deleted.
 * Cocojack: And that's how we’re gonna do it!
 * Feathermay: I love it! Especially the part where I get to fake my illness. I've been taking acting classes for almost a year.
 * Cocojack: Impressive. (He hands her a drawing of the vents with faint purple stains all over it.) Here are the blueprints for the vents.
 * Feathermay: (points at the spots) Are these food stains?
 * Cocojack: I eat jelly sandwiches while I floor-plan.
 * Cocojack: Quiet! Snowcatcher’s coming!
 * Cocojack: Okay, let's do this.
 * Feathermay: IN POSITION, BRO!
 * Cocojack: Roger that.
 * Pinkie Pie: No, I can't let you off with a warning!
 * Pinkie Pie: (from o.s.) Next time, remember. This is a mandatory diaper zone!
 * Cocojack: Oh no...jelly hands…
 * Fizzypop: SHE’S MAKING A CRAWL FOR IT!
 * Cocojack: (hushed) Feathermay, I'm in.
 * Feathermay: (through walkie-talkie) Excellent.
 * Flittershy: (from o.s.) Hi, Cocojack.
 * Cocojack: (nervously) Flittershy! What are you doing in here?
 * Flittershy: I'm so sorry, Cocojack, but I came in here to think. Just now, I wrote a new poem called “Ventilate”. “Inside the walls/I choose to be alone/If I ever get stuck/Please listen for my moan.” Is that okay?
 * Cocojack: (nervously) Yeah. Very okay.
 * Cocojack: Feathermay, direct me to Snowcatcher’s room.
 * Feathermay: Go three clicks, and a right. Or was it...uh, three right and a...click? (To Cocojack; she continues o.s. through the walkie-talkie.) Wait. What's a click? Is that another way of saying “left”?
 * Cocojack: Never mind. I think I'm already there.
 * Cocojack: Phew. Thanks, Flittershy.
 * Flittershy: I wasn't about to let you fall.
 * Flittershy: Uh-oh. Sorry, Cocojack.
 * Cocojack: Feathermay? (pushes a button) Feathermay, you there?!
 * Feathermay: (through walkie-talkie) Yeah, I'm here! Everything okay?
 * Cocojack: Everything’s perfect, sis.
 * Cocojack: I've got eyes on the package.
 * Feathermay: (through walkie-talkie) Good. Everything’s going according to plan, bro. Now all you have to do is delete that message.
 * Cocojack: Feathermay, what kind of rope is this?
 * Feathermay: (through walkie-talkie) Glow-in-the-dark slimy-snake rope. Pretty cool, huh, bro?
 * Feathermay: (frantic) Cocojack! Snowcatcher’s coming! (calm) But don't worry, I'll stall her.
 * Snowcatcher: What?
 * Feathermay: (in a raspy voice) S-Snowcatcher…I think...I think I came down with something. (Fake cough.) I...I think it's the flu. H-Help me, big sis, b-before I…I...I...Uh-oh. I think I-I'm gonna...
 * Snowcatcher: Ugh! Gross! Go to bed!
 * Snowcatcher: So, this is where all my other shoes are.
 * Snowcatcher: Finally. (takes phone) Ooh! New messages! I'm so loved!
 * Cocojack: (panicked) Mission is compromised! Feathermay, mission is compromised! The package is on the move! (Silence.) Feathermay?
 * Feathermay: Woah! No way! Jena bought a new video game? Oh, I'm so there! Oh, am I going?
 * Cocojack: (through walkie-talkie) Feathermay! Do you read me?!
 * Feathermay: (ecstatic) YES!! I'm so there!
 * Message 1: (Bobby’s voice) Howdy, sugar. It's Bobby. Do ye think we’ll always be together?”
 * Snowcatcher: Aww! Totes saving that one! (Feathermay floats past her.)
 * Feathermay: Eww.
 * Message 2: (Bobby’s voice) Howdy, sugar. Here's Bobby again. Say, should our couple name be Bobcatcher or Snowby?
 * Snowcatcher: Saved.
 * Pinkie Pie: We warned you, dirt bag!
 * Fizzypop: It's the clink for you, man!
 * Cocojack: (pointing o.s.) Look! Jolly Hop is making a jailbreak!
 * Fizzypop: Hey!
 * Pinkie Pie: Oh, forget that bum. He's out of our jurisdiction now.
 * Fizzypop: Yeah. Let's get donuts.
 * Message 3: (Cocojack’s voice) Hey, Snowcatcher. It's your dear brother, Cocojack.
 * Cocojack: Snowcatcher!
 * Cocojack: (slow motion) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
 * Cocojack: (from o.s.) Ow!
 * Message 3: (Cocojack’s voice) There's something I've been meaning to tell you. You are…
 * Snowcatcher: Ugh! Delete! (glaring at her brother) Cocojack, there are two rules in this house: stay out of my room, and never call my phone! My voicemail is full enough without useless messages from you!
 * Cocojack: Yeah. Sorry about that.
 * Snowcatcher: But, I'm gonna let it slide this time ‘cause you were so mature when I broke your stupid toy.
 * Cocojack: (nervously chuckles) Yeah. That's me. Mr. Mature.
 * Snowcatcher: Bobby. Only twelve messages today? I thought you cared about me.
 * Cocojack: Feathermay, where were you?
 * Feathermay: Long story. CJ, next time you have a problem with anyone, just talk to them instead of leaving a message or writing a nasty letter.
 * Cocojack: You're probably right. (realizes something) Speaking of which, where is that letter?
 * Snowcatcher: If you want our couple name to be Snowby, you're going to have to show a little—
 * Snowcatcher: “Why Snowcatcher is the worst sibling ever”? (with increasing anger) Bobby, I gotta go. I’M ABOUT TO DO SOME HORRIBLE THINGS TO COCOJACK!!!
 * Snowcatcher: COCOJACK! (holds up letter) WHAT IS THIS?!?
 * Cocojack: (to Feathermay) Well, it's time to do the signature CandyPluff dance. (His twin has her own game goggles.)
 * Feathermay: The Dashing Kid?
 * Cocojack: Yep.
 * Snowcatcher: WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I’M GONNA—
