---

Bader looks over and asks,

BADER:
“What is that?”

HENRY:
, “It’s a human head. And oh look, he’s smiling!”

The rest of the class looks confused, but Bader just shakes his head and smiles at Henry’s unique sense of humor.

Finally, the scene moves to a campfire outside the camp, later that night. Henry is telling a scary story to his fellow campers, using his strange and eerie voice to add an extra level of spookiness.

Bader listens intently, impressed by Henry’s creativity and storytelling ability. As the night grows darker, the group becomes more and more engrossed in the spooky tale, and Bader starts to wonder if Henry’s weirdness might be an asset after all.

The scene begins with Bader and Caleb Johnston standing in front of the Cranium Shaker ride at an amusement park. Bader is excited to try it out, but Caleb looks nervous.

“I don’t know, man. I’m kind of scared,” Caleb admits.

Bader grins confidently. “My older brother said you’ve never experienced life until you’ve been on the Cranium Shaker.”

As they wait in line, they overhear some girls talking about a friend of a friend’s half-cousin who went on the ride and got decapitated. The ride operator confirms that it’s true.

Bader and Caleb start to get nervous but decide to go through with it anyway. As they get on the ride, the owner warns them not to rock the car or else their hands will be torn off.

Caleb starts crying and confesses,

CALEB:
“In case we don’t make it, there’s something I have to tell you. One time, I went to the bathroom and I didn’t wash my hands.”

BADER:
, “ Caleb I have a confession to make one time I used your toothbrush to get dog poop off my shoes.”

.

CALEB:
wait! What?

The ride begins, and Bader and Caleb start screaming in fear as the Cranium Shaker rolls in circles. The ride lasts for three minutes, and Bader and Caleb emerge exhausted.

As they walk away from the ride, Bader turns to Caleb and says

BADER:
That was pretty cool. We should do that again sometime.”

CALEB:
“No way.”

The scene opens with Bader, Caleb, and Everleigh at the country club. Caleb and Everleigh have already jumped in the pool, and Bader is standing at the diving board, contemplating whether or not to jump.

BADER:
(muttering to himself) “That’s pretty high,”

Suddenly, a random girl in the pool calls out to him. “Are you talking to yourself?” she asks.

Bader denies it, but the girl can see right through him.

RANDOM GIRL:
“You’re talking to yourself because you’re scared,”.

Bader tries to ignore her and jumps off the diving board, but he starts shaking and yelping until he slips and lands in the pool with a loud splash.

As he surfaces, coughing and sputtering, he sees Tashi, the girl who bullies him, wearing her swimming goggles and diving toward him aggressively.

Bader runs away with Everleigh and Caleb, trying to escape Tashi’s wrath.

The scene then shifts to Bader sitting in his room, talking to the camera in notebook style.

BADER:
“Well, that was a pretty crazy day,” he says. “But you know what? I think I learned something. It doesn’t matter if you’re scared. You just have to try anyway.”

The screen shows an animation of Caleb Reynolds and Bader chasing after his cat, furball,.

BADER:
“And sometimes,a little vacation is just what you need.”

And the song “A Little Vacation” by Tiny Little Planets plays
