ZOE AND I USED TO

WHEN I WAS LITTLE.

WHEN DARWIN GOT SICK, AND WE

COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO MAKE

THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED

I HAD TO GROW UP.

I JUST STOPPED BELIEVING

IN WHAT WASN'T REAL.

AND YOU STARTED TO TURN

INTO A BOOGEYMAN?

BOOGEY PERSON.

I'M SO SORRY I STOPPED

BELIEVING IN YOU, ZOE.

WHO NEEDS BUSTING.

I'D BETTER GO WITH YOU.

I'VE SEEN YOU IN

ACTION, LAR,

AND I DON'T THINK YOU COULD

HANDLE A FULL-TILT BOOGEY BY

YOURSELF.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK

I LIKED YOU BETTER

WHEN YOU WERE A BOOGEY--

PERSON.

[ Mumbling

OH, IT WAS WONDERFUL TO

SEE YOU AGAIN, FRANNY.

I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE

TROUBLE I CAUSED.

I DIDN'T WANT TO

BE A BOOGEY.

SHE MEANS WE WON'T BE

COMING BACK TO SEE YOU.

OH, NO, NO.

THE TIME TO BELIEVE IS

WHEN YOU'RE LITTLE, LIKE

DARWIN.

AH, FRAN...

JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE

GETTING OLDER,

DOESN'T MEAN YOU

HAVE TO GET OLD.

[ Snaps Fingers ]

I CAN'T SLEEP.

CLIMB IN.

YOU KNOW, THE ONLY WAY THE

BOOGEYMAN CAN HURT YOU

IS BY MAKING YOU AFRAID.

YEAH.

FRANCIS...

I'M NOT REALLY SCARED

OF THE BOOGEYMAN.

AND I SAW HOW:

YOU HANDLED HIM.

I'M WORRIED ABOU GETTING SICK AGAIN.

HAVE YOU TALKED TO

LARRY ABOUT IT?

HE SAID YOU:

THAT YOU COULD TELL ME

HOW GROWN-UPS KEEP FROM

BEING SCARED.

WELL, I GUESS THEY KNOW THA BEING AFRAID DOESN'T HELP.

ALSO, THEY DON' LIKE BEING AFRAID.

IT MAKES THEM:

ACT AFRAID.

KINDA LIKE PRETENDING
