Baking A Cake

Kanga wants to make a cake for Dragonite.

Kanga is watching Dragonite from a distance inside. Nidorina appears.

Nidorina: What are you doing?

Kanga: Nothing.

Nidorina: If you really like Dragonite, then why don't you just talk to her?

Kanga: She doesn't want to hear anything I have to say! What can I do?

Nidorina: Just be straight with her!

Kanga: What?

Nidorina goes over to a blackboard and points to each word as she says them.

Nidorina: Give.... her... the....

Nidorina flips the board over and points to the next word.

Nidorina: Truth!

Kanga: No! If I told Dragonite how I feel about her, she'd laugh at me!

Nidorina: A woman appreciates a guy that can make her laugh!

Kanga: What could I do to get her to listen?

Nidorina: Bake her a cake! Girls like cake!

Kanga: OK! I'll do it Tomorrow!

The next morning. Kanga is reading from a book.

Kanga: OK. To make a cake, add flour, milk and eggs!

Kanga tips an entire bag of flour, an entire bottle of milk and an entire box of eggs in their shells in a bowl.

Kanga: Then mix well.

Kanga gets an electric whisk and turn it on. Without holding the bowl, some of the mixture goes everywhere. Kanga stops.

Kanga: Still lumpy!

Kanga continues stirring, then stops. He puts it on the top of the oven and turns it on.

Kanga: Great! I've seen Kangaskhan cook! She usually cooks one side, then turns it over!

Kanga picks up the cake on a tray and turns it upside down.

Kanga: This is going to be a great cake!

Kangaskhan comes in.

Kangaskhan: Is something burning? Kanga! What are you doing?!

Kanga: I'm making a cake for Dragonite!

Kangaskhan: Why?

Kanga: Girls like cake!

Kangaskhan: What idiot told you that?

Nidorina walks past.

Nidorina: It's a mystery! I guess we'll never know!

Kanga picks up the cake and puts it on a plate. It looks disgusting and has egg shells in it.

Kangaskhan: Kanga, you've never made food before, have you?

Kanga: No!

Kangaskhan: How about this? We make a better cake together!

Kanga: OK.

Kangaskhan: Where's all the stuff we need to make the cake? Did you use everything to make that cake? We're going to have to buy the ingredients!

Kanga raises his hand.

Kanga: Is Mayonnaise an ingredient?

Kangaskhan: No, Kanga! Mayonnaise is not an ingredient!

Kanga raises his hand.

Kangaskhan: Horseradish is not an ingredient either!

Kanga lowers his hand. Kangaskhan and Kanga are in a shop. They get everything they need. They go home.

Kangaskhan: Pour some milk in!

Kanga pours milk in.

Kangaskhan: OK, stop!

Kanga stops.

Kangaskhan: Now we put the flour in!

Kangaskhan puts some flour in.

Kangaskhan: Now for the eggs! You have to break the shell and put only the insides in! Like this!

Kangaskhan taps the egg on the side of the bowl and puts the insides in.

Kangaskhan: Now you try!

Kanga has a egg. He gets out a giant axe and slices the egg in half. Only the insides go in.

Kangaskhan: OK. Now for the last thing! Icing! Kanga, go get the jar!

Kanga holds up a stone.

Kangaskhan: Kanga, that's a rock!

Kanga: Yes!

Kangaskhan: You need a jar!

Kanga picks up a spoon.

Kangaskhan: No!

Kanga picks up a a computer mouse.

Kangaskhan: No!

Kanga picks up Kangaskhan

Kangaskahn: No! Try this!

Kangaskhan gives Kanga a jar.

Kangaskhan: Now, take the lid off the jar!

Kanga shoves the jar in his mouth.

Kangaskhan: OK, it's fine! Raise your hand!

Kanga raises his hand.

Kangaskhan: Good! We're almost there! Now put it on the lid!

Kanga puts his hand on the table.

Kangaskhan: No, the lid!

Kanga slides his hand foward across the table.

Kangaskhan: The lid!

Kanga raises his hand in the air.

Kangaskhan: The lid!

Kanga puts his hand on his face.

Kangaskhan: The lid!

Kanga puts his hand on the table.

Kangaskhan: The lid!

Kanga puts his hands on his head. His hand appears to be spinning in circles quickly.

Kangaskhan: The lidlidlidlidlidlidlidlidldildildidldidlidlid FREEZE!

Kanga stops. His hand is on the side of the jar.

Kangaskhan: We're almost there! Now head for the lid!

Kanga slides his hand down the side of the jar.

Kangaskhan: Cold!

Kanga sldies his hand up the jar.

Kangaskhan: Warmer! Warmer! Warmer! You're hot! Your on fire!

Kanga puts his hand on the lid.

Kanga: IT BURNS!!!

Kangaskhan: Wait! Now do exactly as I do!

Kangaskhan takes the lid of the jar and puts it back on reapidly.

Kangaskhan: Do exactly..... as I do!

Kanga: Exactly as you do!

Kanga takes the lid off.

Kanga: Oh no! I broke it!

Kangaskhan: No, Kanga! You did it!

Kanga is really happy.

Kangaskhan: Now we gotta put the icing on!

Kanga pours the icing on the cake. Kangaskhan puts it in the oven. Later, Kangaskhan takes it out.

Kangaskhan: Go on! Go take it to Dragonite.

Kanga goes over to Dragonite.

Kanga: Dragonite! I made this cake for you!

Dragonite: That's really nice.... Hang on! Is that icing?

Kanga: Yeah.

Dragonite: I can't eat that! I'm allergic to icing!

Kanga: But... but....

Dragonite: How am I supposed to eat that with icing on it?!

Dragonite goes indoors and slams the door. Kanga walks back to Kangaskhan, puts the cake on the floor, falls to the floor and cries.

Kangaskhan: Kanga?

Kanga continues crying. Kangaskhan picks up the cake, walks over to Dragonite's house and knocks on the door. Dragonite opens the door.

Dragonite: Another one?! Listen, I'm not eating that!

Kangaskhan: Well, this one's on the house!

Kangaskhan slams the cake in Dragonite's face. She walks back to Kanga.

Kanga: Did she change her mind?

Kangaskhan: Yep! Took the whole thing in one bite!

Kanga jumps up on his feet.

Kanga: Let's go inside and have some cake!

Kangaskhan: But we don't have any cake!

Kanga: Yes we do!

Kanga jumps up into Kangaskhan's pouch and pulls out a large cake.

Kangaskhan: Where did you get that?

Kanga: I picked it up when we were in the shop!

Kangaskhan: Kanga! That's.... Oh never mind! We all deserve some cake!

Kanga and Kangaskhan go home.

That was an interesting little story. I don't know much (anything) about screenplays, so I can't really offer any helpful suggestions. Do they usually just list dialog or are there brief descriptions of actions as well?

[Fanfic]

It lists dialogue as well as actions/descriptions. I do animate most (if not all) of what I write (this is one of them)
