Guys, I’d say our first annual indoor fun day was a big success.
It sure was. I’m glad the Landlord sprayed all those chemicals on the
lawn so we couldn’t go outside.
Well, look at this, Angela even set up an arts and crafts table.
I made friendship bracelets. See, the different threads represent...
ahm, different colors of friendship.
Angela. I don’t ever exaggerate. But these. Are. Mind-Blowing.
Oh, well, do you want one?
Do I?! Ha! I mean, you know, if you happen to have an extra one, yeah,
sure, I’ll take it off your hands.
Awesome.
There. Now we have matching friendship bracelets so everyone
will know we’re friends.
But remember, you can’t remove it. You have to let
the bracelet fall off on its own.
What happens if I take it off?
I think technically, that means we wouldn’t be friends anymore.
No!
Anyways, I’ve got to get home. Hey, do you think the lawn is safe yet?
Hmm. Maybe if you hold your breath.
Okay, thanks, bye!
Not breathing, not breathing.
I’ll never take you off!
Got you.
Ow! Ginger!
Man, you weren’t even trying to dodge me.
Oh. You missed me.
Ginger, slow down or I won’t be able to catch you.
That’s the point. I’m the most excellent player of every indoor
game there is. From indoor tag to indoor catch...
Tag, you’re it.
No fair. I was giving a speech that doesn’t count.
Indoor fun day will now conclude with a traditional game of hide and seek.
Though it’s not exactly a tradition since it’s the first Indoor fun day.
But I’ll allow it.
Gotta start somewhere, right?
You guys are going down!
Now, I’ve developed a completely fair method to decide who’s it.
All we need is a spoon, fishing line, a number of hooks -
Last one to touch his nose is it!
Last one what ?
Tom’s it! Everybody scatter!
Hold on, I wasn’t ready - oh, all right...
See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya.
We’re out of here.
One Mississippi... two Mississippi... three Albuquerque.
Ben, always hiding by your work. Oh-huh. Alright.
If I was Hank, where would I be...?
Well, these cushions look suspicious. Hank, I’m on to you.
Hmm. So no one’s decided to hide in the most obvious places…
Well I like a challenge. Alright guys, come out, come out,
wherever you are.
Uh-oh, this is not good… Um, guys? Time out, real quick, okay?
I need some help here!
Hey! I’m stuck!
Oh, come on, Tom. I’m not gonna fall for the oldest trick in the book.
I know this seems like the oldest trick in the book, but my arm
is actually stuck in the couch!
Do you really need help? Or when you said this wasn’t
a trick, was that a trick?
No, it’s not a trick!
Okay. But what about a double trick -
And it’s not a double-trick that I said it wasn’t a trick!
Alright, I’m coming out to help! But this doesn’t count as you finding me!
Uh-oh.
Did you say “uh-oh”?
I’m stuck in the bathroom!
Just like the last time I was stuck in the bathroom! Remember that?
Hey, can you come in and get me?
No, Hank, I’m stuck too, remember? Ben!
Bennnnnn!
Ben, where are you?
No. But this is the perfect place... Fine.
Hey, that was you! Good hiding.
Yes. Fortunately, you rarely give things a closer look.
Well, maybe not so fortunately because me and Hank are both stuck.
Hank, where were you even planning on hiding in there?
Not sure, but hide and seek makes me nervous, and when
I’m nervous I have to go.
Ngh! This is really jammed. I don’t know how you pulled
the doorknob off so easily.
It’s like I suddenly had super strength.
Stand back, I’m gonna try something!
Never mind.
Some internal piece must have worn down. No worry,
I’ll just get a spare doorknob from spare doorknob storage.
Let’s see. The Polished Elegance, hm... the Emerald Turner, ah, there we go.
A good ol’ bathroom spare...
Wait, don’t let that door - close.
Uh-oh.
Tom! Why isn’t there a handle on the inside of the storage room?
I took it off.
And why did you take it off?
Because I trapped that thing in there that one time.
What thing?!
Don’t worry, it probably went away.
But, yeah, you can’t open the storage from the inside.
Why didn’t you tell me that before I got locked inside here?
Okay, well, nobody panic. Ginger’s still hiding somewhere around here.
He can help us. Ginger! Ginger!!!
Ginger!
Sounds like Tom found everyone else, but they still can’t find me.
Haha, This is gonna take a while...
So, Ginger’s not answering, and struggling just gets the friendship
bracelet more stuck... Maybe Hank is having more luck than I am.
Tom! My head is stuck in the sink!
I mean, maybe Ben is having more luck than I am.
I call this new invention the Emergency Door Opener Five Thousand.
Wait... Nine Thousand. No, that’s too much. Five Thousand is better.
Anyway, my troubles are about to be...
You don’t need to eat that pizza. You don’t need to eat that pizza.
Eat that pizza, eat that pizza, eat that pizza, eat the pizza, eat the pizza!
Tom, what are you doing?
Just cleaning the table. It sure was messy. Tables...
Oh, yah, don’t get me started on that.
Man, Angela. I’m so glad you’re here! But wait, wait, wait, why...
You went home a while ago, so how are you back here?
Angela... You’re floating.
Yeah, do you like it?
The chemicals on the lawn turned you into a ghost! Or a superhero...
Wait. Are you a ghost or a superhero?
Oh, neither. Actually, I’m a hallucination. Your brain created me to deal
with the loneliness of being stuck.
So you’re not the real Angela?
If I were the real Angela would I say this? My favorite things
in the world are Tom, Tom, Tom, singing, and dancing
and Tom. In that order.
Wow, you are a really cool hallucination.
So, you’re really stuck, huh?
It’s the friendship bracelet. Alright, it’s caught on a spring.
And I don’t know what to do because on one hand, I don’t
want to be stuck here forever. But if I cut it, that means
we aren’t friends anymore.
But how good a friend are you if you can’t even answer my calls,
or help Ben and Hank?
Not a very good friend.
A friendship bracelet is just a bunch of string. If it keeps you
from helping friends who need you, then, you should cut it.
Wait, how do you know I’m making the right decision huh?
I mean you’re just a hallucination.
I know, but I’m yooour hallucinaaation...
Oh, Hallucinangela, come back.
His name is Ginger!
Baw ba bah baaaoowww!
Like an invisible ninja!
Okay. My brain made up that hallucination. And my brain has
never led me astray before. Right brain - right. Left brain - wrong.
Or maybe I don’t need to rush things. Maybe if I just wait long enough,
the friendship bracelet will just come off on its own.
Tom, help! My head is caught in the sink and I can’t turn the water off!
Hank, why did you even turn the water on?
I was thirsty.
Sorry... the sink... is filling... faster than I can drink... the water.
Tom, get me out of here so we can get Hank out of there.
Alright, guys. Hang in there!
I’m on my way.
Carry the ten to the twelfth power and this proves that this is
one-hundred percent Tom’s fault.
What did you just say?
Never mind! Take this and go free Hank!
Yeah, right.
I’m here, buddy!
Thanks, Tom...
What were you thinking?
Can I explain later? This water is going right through me.
Uh, you’re welcome.
Tom, why didn’t you answer your phone? I called, I texted, I even sent you an email.
Oh, okay. That explains it. You took off my friendship bracelet.
Angela, I had to! We were playing hide and seek and the bracelet uh -
it got stuck on a spring in the couch. Then Hank got trapped in the bathroom -
And I got trapped in the storage room -
Don’t worry, Tom. I knew something like this might
happen, so I made an extra.
Oh that’s great, that’s really. Oh... pink.
Helping friends is way more important than a bunch of string.
You made the right decision, Tom.
I am not sure about that...
What?
Uh, I mean...
Hey, whatever happened to Ginger?
I guess the real problem with hide and seek is, when you’re as good
at it as I am, the game can get pretty boring.
I’ll give them another hour... or two.
