Four dogs and six animals go on a shopping spree for food.

One night while everyone was asleep, a young bloodhound named Jason woke up. He wasn't feeling sleepy at all.

Jason: (groans) I can't sleep.

Then he saw the tv still on. One of Jason's humans was up watching TV. But he fell asleep during the movies that was on.

Jason: Maybe a little TV won't hurt. (stomach growls) Shh!! I hear you, tummy. But first, snacks.

But Jason's brother, a basset hound named Roland, and his sisters, a female basset named Cinnamon, and a female bloodhound named Jane, woke up and saw what he was doing.

Ronald: Jason?

Jason: Oh. Roland, Cinnamon, Jane. What are you doing up?

Cinnamon: We just woke up and saw you awake. Why are you up?

Jason: (sighs) I couldn't sleep. So I'm joining in on staying up.

Roland: Oh, no you're not.

Jason: Aww man.

Roland: Not without us.

Jason, Jane, and Cinnamon: Shh!!

Roland: Sorry.

Jason: Fine. But we need to be careful not to wake anyone else. Besides we need late night snacks.

Roland: Okay. Everyone, split up.

They searched the pantries.

Cinnamon: Let's see. Snacks, snacks. We got Wavy Original Lay's. And Fritos.

Jason: There's Ruffles in this one. And Pringles, Nilla wafers. Ooh, Ritz crackers.

Roland: I found pretzels. And donuts.

Then Jane found the big bag of Sour Patch Kids.

Jane: (whispers) Guys. I found the jackpot.

Meanwhile in the woods, a wolf named Will, a raccoon named Stan, a porcupine named Needles, a bear named Honey, a coyote named Xander, and a skunk named Ginger were really hungry.

Xander: Aww man. I'm so hungry.

Stan: Well, we would've had food if Ginger hadn't eaten it all.

Ginger: It wasn't just me.

They all looked at Honey.

Honey: What? I'm a bear.

Needles: No wait. It was all of us.

They all agreed. Then Will picked up a scent.

Will: Hold on. (sniffs) I smell something.

Xander: (sniffs) Hey, I smell it too. (sniffs and exhales)

Honey: Me too. And it smells so good.

Ginger: But where is it coming from?

Will: Over there.

Needles: Whatever it is, I want some of that.

Honey: Come on. Let's follow it.

They all followed the scent which led them to the house where the dogs live.

Will: The smell is coming from in there.

They all peeked inside the house. They all saw the dogs eating some snacks while watching movies.

Ginger: Those dogs have food.

Stan: We need some of that stuff.

Honey: But how do we get in?

Needles: Stand back. I've got this.

Needles used a quill to pick the lock. They were in. The animals sneaked in and peeked from behind the couch.

Jane: Mmm. I love late night films.

Roland: Yeah. Pass the crackers.

She hands him the crackers.

Ginger: Well I'll take some of these mini donuts.

Cinnamon: Hey, where's the mini donuts and the Fritos?

Roland: I don't know.

Honey: Right here. (hands Cinnamon a donut)

Cinnamon: Oh. Thank you, kind bear. Wait. Bear. Wolf.

Jane: Coyote.

Jason: Porcupine. Raccoon.

Roland: And skunk.

Before they screamed, Honey covered their mouths.

Honey: Shh. It's okay. You don't want to wake him up.

Will: Yeah. Calm down. We won't hurt you.

Xander: We won't eat you either.

(Stan and Will punches Xander)

Xander: What?

Will: Let's start over. I'm Will. And this is Xander, Honey, Needles, Ginger, and Stan.

Jason: I'm Jason. And this is my brother and sisters. Roland, Jane, and Cinnamon.

Needles: We didn't mean to scare you.

Ginger: Yeah. We were just hungry.

Jane: Oh. Don't worry. We've got plenty of food.

Cinnamon: Actually, we're out.

Jason: Don't worry. We can get more.

Xander: Where?

Jason: We'll show you. Follow us.

They all snuck outside the door and ran. They came up a hill.

Jason: (sniffs) This way.

They all arrived in the city.

Needles: The city? We can't be seen out here.

Cinnamon: Hmm. I know.

(screen slides)

They were all wearing different clothes.

Jane: This is ridiculous.

Ginger: Girl, tell me about it.

Honey: At least I look divine.

Jason: Alright, let's go.

They all started walking down streets. They saw a McDonald's.

All: McDonald's.

They snuck over to the restaurant. It was closed. Roland peeked. He didn't see anyone.

Roland: Coast is clear.

They all went inside.

Stan: What should we get?

They looked at the food menu.

Cinnamon: Well, it's dinner. How about Big Macs, a McChicken, with fries,

Willy: With ten piece Chicken McNuggets. No twenty.

Roland: No. Fourty piece.

Honey: And apple pies for everyone.

(screen slides)

Ginger: Now that was amazing.

Jane: Too good. Wait. Does anyone else have to go to the bathroom?

They all looked at each other.

(Two minutes later)

They came out.

Honey: The people will have to wait a long time before using the bathrooms again.

They kept walking until they saw Walmart.

Jason: Hey, we didn't visit Walmart yet.

Ginger: Let's go.

They saw it was closed.

Will: Great. It's closed too.

Jane: Or is it?

They snuck in through the roof top. They were all amazed by the inside.

Everyone: (whispers) Amazing!!

They separated in the aisles.

Will: Ooh. Chips. Lay's, Tostitos, even Doritos.

Honey: Look, there's also Fritos, Ruffles and Cheetos. (gasps) And Pringles.

Xander: Mmm. (munching on chips) Little salty, but delicious.

Jason: They need more flavors. (eats a chip)

Stan: Ooh. Candy and Cookies.

Cinnamon: We must have them.

Roland: I'm digging in. (eating a graham cracker)

Jane: This is what I call a good cookie.

Ginger: I smell it. It's Pop-Tarts.

Needles: Strawberry, Blueberry, Cherry, Wild Berry, Raspberry, Blue Raspberry, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Cinnamon Roll, Confetti Cupcake.

Ginger: Wait. There's even one with no frosting. Blah. There's even Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tarts. Apple, Banana Bread, Lemon Blueberry Crumble. It's almost every flavor.

They began eating them.

Ginger: So good.

Needles: Wait, there's even Dunkin Donuts, Jolly Ranchers, and A&W and Crush soda flavored ones.

(Screen slides)

Jason: Well. That was good.

Stan: (burps) Yeah.

Ginger: (farts) Excuse me.

All: Ginger!!! (everyone laughing)

Jane: Hey, it's great we're all meeting each other.

Stan: Sure is.

Cinnamon: Yeah. (eats some more chips) So, how did you guys each other?

Will: Well, it all started few weeks ago.

(flashback starts)

Will: I was a young wolf pup. I didn't meet my friends yet. I did have my family.

Young Will: Mom, do you think I'll make some new friends?

Will's Mom: I know you will, sweetie. (licks Will)

Will: I went back to sleep. But I suddenly heard a cry for help.

Needles: It was us. We were trapped in a cave with a bunch of rocks and boulders.

Young Honey: Help. Somebody.

Young Ginger: I hope someone finds us. I feel scared.

Young Xander: Ginger, don't.

(Ginger farts)

Young animals: Ginger!!!

Young Ginger: Sorry.

I suddenly smelled Ginger's scent.

Young Will: Whew. Wait, someone's in there. Hello.

Young Needles: Hello. In here.

Young Will: Hello. My name is Will.

Young Honey: I'm Honey. And this is Stan, Xander, Ginger, Needles.

Young Will: Don't worry. I'll get you out.

But I couldn't do it alone.

Young Will: I have an idea. (howls)

Will: I called my parents. We all pushed the rocks out of the way and freed my friends.

Young Will: Thank goodness.

(all hugging each other)

Will's Dad: Will, what were you doing out here?

Young Will: Sorry, Dad. But they needed help. This is Stan, Needles, Xander, Honey, and Ginger.

All: Hello.

Will's Mom: Nice to meet you, kids.

Will's Dad: Will, we're proud of you. You did the right thing.

Young Will: Thanks, Pops.

But then, some hunter came from the shadows.

Will's Dad: Wait. (sniffs) Hunters. Run.

(shotguns fire)

Hunter 1: Let's get 'em.

Needles: But I tripped.

Young Will: Needles.

Hunter 2: We got you now.

Will's Dad: No.

Will: But my saved us.

(shotguns fire)

Will: But unfortunately, they were killed.

Young Will: Mom! Dad!

Will's Mom: We love you, Will.

Young Will: No. (howls sadly)

Will: My parents were gone. As we grew up, all six of us were surviving on our own.

Cinnamon: We're sorry, Will. We didn't know about this until now.

Will: It's fine.

Jason: Don't worry, you're with us now.

Will: Thanks, guys.

Everyone: Aww.

Jason: Let's just take what need and go.

Everyone: Okay.

Ginger: Yeah. (farts) Sorry.

But they were too full to move. So they took a nap. But outside, a hungry snake was in the city.

Snake: (hissing) I'm sssso hungry. (flicks his tongue in and out) But I smell dogs, and other animals.

He slithered all the way to Walmart. When he saw the store was closed, he decided to go through the roof. But when got there, he also saw the rooftop opened. The snake got inside and saw crumbs. He followed them which led to the sleeping animals.

Snake: Ooh. A nicccce buffet. And they're nice and fattened up.

The snake wrapped around and coiled them all.

When the animals woke up, they were surprised to see the snake.

Stan: Oh. This ain't good.

Snake: Hello, ssssupper.

Jane: Hello. Wait, I can't move, and can't breathe.

Snake: That's the point. I don't want you to leave. You'll be a nice meal for me.

Xander: I don't think so. (bites the snake)

Snake: Ow. (hisses in pain)

Everyone: Run.

They all ran outside the door. They were all safe.

Ginger: That was close.

Xander: At least we got some good stuff from in there.

(police sirens)

Roland: Uh-oh. Let's bounce.

Just then, the same hunters came out of nowhere.

Will: It's them.

Hunter 1: Well, the wolf and his friends have grown.

Hunter 3: Let's get them.

Needles: Oh no you don't.

Needles shot quills everywhere.

Needles: Run, run.

They all ran for their lives.

Hunter 2: Get back here.

Then the animals saw a van.

Jason: Get in.

They all got in the van and drove off.

Stan: Adios.

Hunter 1: No. We'll get you animals yet.

Hunter 3: How, boss?

Hunter 1: Well, I slipped a tracking device on that porcupine. They can run, but they can't hide.

Everyone was in the van enjoying some of the food they got.

Stan: That was crazy.

Jason: We'll need to be more careful around those three.

They all went back home.

The end.
