Here's a trivia question for you

Do you remember the 2012 TV series Littlest Pet Shop?

If you answered yes, then listen closely

The following program is a childhood killer

To avoid panic attacks, think of it as an early draft of the short "Eau de Pepper"

That was rejected by Hasbro for being too dark and twisted

That's exactly what this program is

A dark and twisted version of "Eau de Pepper"

Extended to 44 minutes with commercial interruptions

Complete with the original voice cast and crew

Act 1
(Intro)

(We open on an aerial view of 72 Oak Street as the camera pans down to Littlest Pet Shop. We cut to the day camp area, where Blythe Baxter is helping Minka Mark into her monarch butterfly costume.)

Blythe Baxter: (adjusts Minka's butterfly wings) Aaand... there! (to the pets) Man, you guys are gonna look great at the International Pet Fashion Expo.

Pepper Clark: (steps forward) Yeah, we look great. But how do we smell?

Blythe: (confused) Hm? Smell?

Pepper: (nods) Yeah! I think we have to smell happy!

(Blythe and the pets (excluding Penny Ling) give Pepper confused looks.)

Pepper: Let me explain: if the judges smell happiness on us, it'll seep into their subconscious and make them happy. And who doesn't want a happy judge?

Penny Ling: Hmm, that makes sense.

Pepper: Exactly! (sticks her tail into Penny Ling's mouth, the latter of whom pushes it back) Now all I have to do is capture my happiest of happy scents. A delicate, peppermint-rosy, just-baked cupcake blend. (turns to Penny Ling) And I think I know the right pet for the job.

(Penny Ling blushes and chuckles nervously at Pepper's comment. We transition with a lightning strike to a sinister castle atop a summit. Inside, we see Pepper sitting on a table next to a tube, which she sticks her tail into.)

Pepper: Ready, Penny Ling?

(We cut to Penny Ling, dressed in a lab coat with her hair raised like a mad scientist's, operating a machine as she pulls down a pair of goggles.)

Penny Ling: Ready!

Pepper: Okay, start showing me the pictures.

More coming soon!
