She goes to the front door and opens it. She stops.

(Laughs)
Duck Duck says, BUT DON'T YOU MEAN GHOST STORIES?
Panda says, OH, NO, NO, NO, NO. GHOST STORIES ARE TOO SCARY, SO WE TELL TOAST STORIES.
Donkey Hodie says, OH, WELL, WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR A TOAST STORY! OR MAYBE EVEN TWO OR THREE. OR FOURTEEN.
Panda says, OKAY! GOOD! LET'S SEE. WHAT'S A GOOD TOASTY ONE TO START WITH? LET'S TRY THE ONE ABOUT TIMMY THE TOAST.
Duck Duck says, OH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
They all sit in their sleeping bags.
Panda says, IT WAS A DARK, DARK NIGHT...
Donkey Hodie says, UH-HUH.
Panda says, ...MUCH LIKE THIS ONE. TIMMY THE TOAST WAS FEELING ALL CRUNCHY AND BUTTERY, BUT SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG. HE KNEW WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO.

Duck Duck asks, HMM?
Panda says, AND HE PUT IT ON. THE END!
(Laughing)
Duck Duck asks, WAIT, WAIT, THAT'S IT?
Panda says, YEAH. TOAST STORIES ARE ABOUT TOAST. TOAST DOESN'T REALLY DO THAT MUCH.
Duck Duck says, HMM. YEAH.
(Laughing)
Donkey Hodie says, WHOO!
(Animal brays)
Donkey Hodie cries, WHAT WAS THAT?!
Duck Duck says, OH, THAT WAS JUST A NIGHT SOUND, DONKEY.
Panda says, YEAH. THERE ARE ALWAYS NIGHT SOUNDS WHEN YOU SLEEP OUTSIDE AT NIGHT.
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM. AND YOU CAN'T ALWAYS SEE WHAT THEY ARE.
Donkey Hodie says, I'LL-L-L...BE RIGHT BACK.
Donkey Hodie jumps up.

Donkey Hodie says, OH, YEAH, OF COURSE! I'M FINE. I JUST GOTTA GET MY, UH, MY FAVOURITE PILLOW. HA HA! IT'S SO SOFT. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS. HA HA HA HA.

Panda says, I'M NOT SURE. LET'S GO MAKE SURE.
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM.
Donkey Hodie stands inside.
Donkey Hodie says, I TRIED, AMAZING RADISH. I REALLY DID. I JUST DON'T THINK I CAN DO THIS. I LIKE SLEEPING IN MY BED IN MY ROOM WITH ALL MY COZY THINGS. AND MY NIGHT LIGHT.
Panda and Duck Duck say, DONKEY?
They walk inside.
Donkey Hodie says, HMM? OH, UH, HA, HI, PANDA, DUCK DUCK. OH, I-I-I JUST CAME IN TO GET MY OTHER PILLOW. OH. I WONDER WHERE IT IS. I JUST HAD IT. IF I CAN'T FIND IT, I GUESS I WON'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP OUTSIDE, HUH?
Panda says, DONKEY.
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH?
Duck Duck asks, IS SOMETHING WRONG?
Panda says, YOU CAN TELL US, DONKEY.
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM.
Donkey Hodie says, WELL... WELL...OKAY. I'M A LITTLE SCARED ABOUT SLEEPING OUTSIDE IN THE DARK. I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE.
Duck Duck asks, YOU HAVEN'T?
Donkey Hodie says, NO. IT'S MY FIRST TIME.
Duck Duck says, OHHH.
Panda says, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO, DONKEY? YEAH! DOING THINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME CAN BE SCARY, ER, AND HARD EVEN.
Duck Duck says, YEP YEP, THEY SURE CAN!
Panda says, YEAH! I WAS SO SCARED TO FALL THE FIRST TIME I WENT SKATEBOARDING.
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM. AND I WAS SCARED I'D GET LOST THE FIRST TIME I FLEW BY MYSELF.
Donkey Hodie asks, BUT WHAT HELPED YOU NOT TO BE AFRAID THE FIRST TIME?
Panda says, MY FRIEND PAULY PANDA HELD MY HAND UNTIL I GOT MY BALANCE. AND HE RAN NEXT TO ME, AND THEN HE LET ME SKATEBOARD ON MY OWN AND I DID GREAT.
Duck Duck says, AND MY FRIEND DELORES WAS UP IN THE AIR WITH ME THE FIRST TIME, SO I FELT SAFE. I COULD HEAR HER CHIRPING BEHIND ME AS I FLEW, SO I KNEW SHE WAS THERE TO HELP ME, YOU KNOW, JUST IN CASE.
Panda says, AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU, DONKEY.
Duck Duck says, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME OUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF OTHER NIGHTS WHEN YOU CAN SLEEP OUT UNDER THE STARS WITH US.
Panda says, YEAH. YOU CAN DO IT WHEN YOU'RE READY.
Donkey Hodie says, BUT I DO WANT TO!
(Deep inhale)
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie says, I, DONKEY HODIE, AM READY TO SLEEP UNDER THE STARS WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY BEST PALS.
Donkey Hodie lies outside in her sleeping bag.

Panda says, OH, OF COURSE, DONKEY!
Donkey Hodie says, IT'S NICE AND COZY.
Panda says, YEAH.
Duck Duck says, YUP YUP, AND NOW IT'S TIME TO SLEEP UNDER THE STARS.
