episode, 3

Episode 3:

Panel 1: (Quick Action)

• Visual: In a panic, Zoya picks up Puff and "thumps" him down right next to the teddy bear sitting on the bed. Puff squeezes his eyes shut tight and goes completely "statue-still."

• Zoya (Panting): "Puff! Don't move... act exactly like a toy!"

Panel 2: (Mom's Entry)

• Visual: Mom opens the door and is astonished to see the room filled with bubbles. Zoya is holding a bubble wand in her hand and sporting a fake smile.

• Mom: "Zoya! What is this mess? Did you spill soapy water all over the room?"

• Zoya: "Uh... Mom, I was just testing out some new bubbles! Hehe."

Panel 3: (Eyes on Puff)

• Visual: Mom's gaze lands on the bed where Puff is sitting. Puff has accidentally placed the teddy bear's small 'bow-tie' on top of his head.

• Mom: "When did you get this new toy? Look at those huge ears... and that color... is it blue?"

Panel 4: (The Close Call)

• Visual: Mom reaches out her hand to pick Puff up. Puff's eye cracks open slightly (in sheer tension). Zoya jumps in to intervene.

• Zoya: "No, Mom! Don't touch it! It has 'fresh paint' on it right now... it's a school project!"

Panel 5: (Suspenseful Exit)

• Visual: Mom looks a bit suspicious, but she leaves the room.

• Mom: "Alright, but come downstairs in 5 minutes. And hey... why is this 'toy' staring like that?" • SFX: Door Closes (Click!)

Panel 6: (Relief)

• Visual: Zoya sinks to the floor, and Puff lets out a deep sigh of relief. A thought bubble pops above Puff's head.

• Puff: 😮‍💨💨

• Zoya: "We made it! But Puff, we need to find a better hiding spot for you."

Next Twist: Would you prefer that in the next episode, Puff gets hungry and sneaks into the kitchen, or that Zoya takes him along to school?

What do you think—would Puff enjoy cookies more, or school stationery?
