(The scene fades to the moon in the starry night sky on a Friday night. The camera pans down into the woods where a mysterious shadow figure holds a picture of Bloo and Mac. The figure looks outside of the cave. He swears that one day that he'll get his revenge on the house where Bloo lives. The house is called Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. It's an orphanage for imaginary friends owned and operated by the Foster family. Just then, Terrence appears in the cave.)

Shadow Figure: You're Terrence, Mac's older brother, eh?

Terrence: That's right. I created my imaginary friend, Red.

Shadow Figure: Ah, yes. The large red block one. I know why you're here. You want to exact revenge on Bloo. Correct?

(Terrence nods.)

Shadow Figure: Well, you've come to the right place. I can help you. I can help you and Duchess out.

Terrence: I don't understand. How am I supposed to do that?

Shadow Figure: Take Bloo out of the picture, and that puts a new spin on things.

(Duchess comes out of the shadows.)

Duchess: Go on.

Shadow Figure: Get Mac and the others to turn against Bloo. Make him the villain and then separate him from Foster's.

Terrence: How are we supposed to do that?

Shadow Figure: Ugh. And here, I thought there were some smarts in your cheese-grated brain, you chowder-head! Think, you two, think! Who does Bloo care about more than Mac in Foster's?

(Terrence and Duchess think as they try to figure out who Bloo cares about more than Mac. The scene changes to Bloo and Mac walking together in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. They stop, and Bloo looks around at all of the imaginary friends, who are all happy and playing together.)

Bloo: I care about all these imaginary friends, Mac.

(Mac smiles and pats Bloo on the shoulder. The scene changes back to the Shadow Figure's cave. Terrence and Duchess are now looking at the Shadow Figure with a newfound understanding.)

Terrence and Duchess: Coco!

Shadow Figure: That's right. Coco is Bloo's closest friend. If we can get Mac and the others to turn against Bloo, then Coco will too. And if Coco turns against Bloo, then Bloo will leave Foster's for good.

(Terrence and Duchess look at each other with excitement. Then, they turn to the Shadow Figure.)

Duchess: Very well. We will help you get your revenge. But... if you double-cross us, there will be consequences.

Shadow Figure: Oh, perish the thought.

Terrence: (smiles evilly) We shall see. Beware, Bloo. Your friendship with Mac will come to an end sooner than you think.

(The Shadow Figure, Terrence, and Duchess laugh evilly together as their alliance has been formed. The scene cuts to an exterior shot of the cave. The camera pans up to the moon in the starry night sky. The scene switches to daytime as it fades to the sun in the blue sky. It's now Saturday. The camera pans down to the orphanage that is Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. The scene cuts to Bloo in his bedroom. He's sleeping soundly in his bed. Then, his alarm clock goes off and starts ringing. Bloo opens his eyes as he wakes up and turns off the clock. Then, he yawns, stretches his arms, and gets off his bed. He walks over to his calendar to check it. It's Adopt-A-Thought Saturday, an event that focuses on getting good friends adopted on the weekends when children are out of school. Bloo's eyes widen in shock.)

Bloo: What's this? Adopt-A-Thought Saturday? (frowns) Oh, how I hate Adopt-A-Thought Saturday.

(Bloo walks out of his bedroom and goes to the men's bathroom. There, he takes a shower and brushes his teeth. He then leaves the bathroom after cleaning himself. The scene cuts to Wilt handing out adoption forms. All of the imaginary friends in the orphanage are getting adopted by children on the weekend. All except one, which is Bloo. His twelfth birthday is a few days away.)

Bloo: I hate Adopt-A-Thought Saturday. Why does everyone get to go outside instead of me?

Eduardo: Because you're not up for adoption, for you already belong with senor Mac.

Bloo: You got an answer for everything, don't ya? What's the capital of Pennsylvania?

Eduardo: Potatoes?

Bloo: (imitating a buzzer) Ehh! Wrong-o! It's Pittsburgh. Ugh! You're so uneducated. (walks away)

Eduardo: ¿Qué?

(The scene cuts to Bloo in his room. He's looking out the window at the scenery surrounding the orphanage. He sighs as he gets bored. The scene transitions to a flashback sequence that shows a clip from the original show's pilot episode "House of Bloo's" with remastered animation and additional shots. In the flashback, Bloo and Mac visit Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends for the first time.)

Bloo: This is the place I was telling you about. Pretty cool, huh?

Mac: (looks at the house through the fence) I... I don't know, Bloo. Are you sure?

Bloo: Totally! The commercial said it was some fantastical, magical place for imaginary friends who need a place to crash, hang out, and do stuff. It's gonna be great!

(Bloo and Mac walk all the way to the doorstep, and Bloo knocks on the front door.)

Mac: I guess you're right, but still-

Bloo: Mac, I know you're worried, but listen. With me living here, Mom will be happy, Terrence will leave you alone, and you can visit me every day. It's perfect! Our problems are solved!

(The door opens, and it appears to be a rabbit, wearing a suit, a monocle on his left eye, and a top hat. His name is Mr. Herriman.)

Mr. Herriman: (tips his hat) Good day, gentlemen. How may I be of assistance?

Bloo: Cool. A bunny butler. Well--

Mr. Herriman: My good man, I will have you know that I am Mr. Herriman, the head of business affairs at this facility, and in no way a butler or any other member of the servant trade. Now, if you will please state your business.

Mac: Uh, uh, uh, uh...

Mr. Herriman: (about to close the door) Oh, very well. As I have more important issues to attend to than dealing with an indecisive child, I shall bid you both good day.

(Bloo enters the foyer as he stops the door.)

Bloo: Wait a minute!

Mr. Herriman: My good man!

Bloo: Please, Mr. Rabbit Man.

Mr. Herriman: Herriman.

Bloo: Please, Mr. Herriman, my boy here. (drags Mac inside) His name is Mac, and he has the worst life ever! I tell ya, it's so vile and horrible, I can't even begin to explain. But I'll try.

Mac: What?!

Bloo: You see, this poor, pathetic kid, lives all alone with me, his mother, and his jerky brother in this trashy, run-down dump of an apartment. It's got no electricity or running water. Man, oh man, does it stink. No, I mean it, it really does.

(Mr. Herriman stares at Bloo with his arms crossed.)

Bloo: It's got this foul disgusting smell that'll make you sick.

Mac: NUH-UH!

Bloo: And oh yes, his brother is a total jerk, who's like eight feet tall, weighs three hundred pounds, and has no brain. So, he's like the foul bully monster that beats up wimpy little Mac all the time. And there is never anyone home to stop him, 'cause his mom works like fifteen jobs every day of the week, including weekends. Not to mention that she doesn't get home until midnight, so yeah, each and every day Mac is killed dead by his big stupid brother.

Mac: What?

Bloo: And, all this miserable kid has to forward to in his crummy little life, is me. His best buddy Bloo. But get this: His mother has said that he is too old for an imaginary friend. And he must get rid of me. Can you believe it? So here I am on my knees.

Mac: Uh-uh.

Bloo: What?

(Mac points to Bloo's knees as Bloo is standing up.)

Bloo: Oh.

(Bloo turns back to Mr. Herriman while getting down on his knees. Mac facepalms.)

Bloo: So here I am on my knees, at your mercy, kind sir. So if only you can find it in your big bunny heart to open up your beautiful and spacious home to this poor, rejected, hated and unwanted imaginary friend, maybe, just maybe I wouldn't be so... blue.

(Mr. Herriman stares at Bloo again.)

Mac: I'm sorry, sir. He's crazy, we'll be on our-

Mr. Herriman: Very well. I shall arrange a tour for you.

Bloo and Mac: What?

(Mr. Herriman hops toward a speaker.)

Mr. Herriman: Ms. Frances, Ms. Frances, your presence is requested in the foyer. There are two gentlemen who are in need of a tour. Ms. Franc--

Frankie: (over the speaker) I'M COMING!!!! Sheesh!!

Mr. Herriman: She will be with you momentarily.

(Herriman hops away. Mac and Bloo look amazed as they see a bunch of imaginary friends walking around in the foyer.)

Bloo: (to Mac) Well?

Mac: It's okay.

(Mac looks away and crosses his arms, worrying Bloo. But he soon finds out it was just a joke when Mac grins. So, Bloo gives him a friendly punch on the arm. A teenage red-haired girl appears with a giant green slime creature, George Mucus.)

Frankie: Now you know why you're not supposed to run around with Scissors? Scissors? Scissors?

(A pair of legged scissors with small feet, two eyes, and the blades as the mouth comes running in.)

Scissors: Yeah?

Frankie: Scissors, what do you say?

Scissors: I'm sorry.

Frankie: Okay, go play.

(George Mucus and Scissors run away.)

Frankie: Don't run! Whatever that bunny says is wrong. The name's not Frances. It's Frankie.

Bloo: I'm Bloo and this is my boy Mac.

Frankie: Hey Bloo. Hey Mac.

Mac: Hi.

Frankie: So, I guess you guys wanna have a tour of the place?

Bloo: Yeah.

Mac: Please.

Frankie: Cool, follow me. Foster's was founded in--

Mr. Herriman: (over the speaker) Ms. Frances, Ms. Frances. Your presence is requested in the third-floor sleeping quarters.

Frankie: I'm busy! What’s the problem!?

Mr. Herriman: (over the speaker) It is Duchess. She-

Duchess: (over the speaker in a German accent) Give me that. Frankie? Frankie?! GET UP HERE NOW!!!

Frankie: Aww man, one of these days. (turns to Bloo and Mac) Sorry, guys, her royal majesty calls. But don't worry, I'll get someone to show you around. Hold on a sec. (calls somebody) Wilt? Tour, please! I'm really sorry, guys. Wilt will take care of you, but I'll try to meet up with you at the end of the tour, okay?

Duchess: (over the speaker) FRANKIEEE!!!!

Frankie: COMING!!!

(Frankie goes upstairs, angrily.)

Wilt: (to someone) I'm sorry, is that okay? You sure? All right. Okay. Sorry, though.

(The imaginary friend walks over to them. Mac and Bloo look up. This friend is red with long legs with a small body with a number one on it. His arm was long and the other was ripped up and stitched as if something happened to it. One of his stalk eyes was bent and crooked.)

Wilt: Hey, how ya doin’? Name's Wilt.

(Mac and Bloo stare at him. Wilt is still standing there with a smile, and he blinks his normal right eye for a long silence.)

Wilt: Yo, guys? Hello?

(Mac and Bloo are still staring.)

Wilt: Oh, okay, I get it. It's cool, it's cool. I know I'm all broken with a wonky eye and a stubby arm. Probably freaks you out, huh? But don't sweat it, I'll get someone else to—

Bloo and Mac: You're tall.

Wilt: Oh. Well, yeah. I guess.

Bloo: You should play basketball.

Wilt: Oh, yeah? Well, um, yeah. I used to, um, you know, whatever. Hey, how about that tour, huh? Great, let's go!

(Bloo and Mac follow Wilt as he guides them on a tour of the orphanage. The scene fades back to the present day when Bloo is looking out the window at the view where everyone's picking an imaginary friend to adopt. He sighs and walks away.)

Part 2: The Secret Meeting/Bloo Runs Away/Bloo Meets Emily and Kimberly
(The scene cuts to Bloo walking up to the balcony to do a little thinking. He has great adventures with Mac. They are best friends. He then hears someone over the speakers.)

Mr. Herriman: (over the speaker) Has anyone seen Master Blooregard? No one? Good.

(Bloo is confused about what Mr. Herriman's up to. So, he decides to go and see for himself. The scene cuts to Bloo walking downstairs to the foyer. He sees that the door to his office is open. So, he peeks in and sees Mr. Herriman, Frankie, Mac, Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco having a meeting. Bloo doesn't even know Mac is there. He wonders why he doesn't see him.)

Mr. Herriman: Everyone, the results are in. You five have voted unanimously to get rid of Foster's unending nightmare, Master Blooregard.

(Bloo is shocked about Mr. Herriman's plan to get rid of him. He runs back up to the balcony where he can cry alone. However, Mr. Herriman notices that Bloo was there and has to make a fake meeting about him to cover up the real truth.)

Mac: Okay, he's gone.

Mr. Herriman: Okay. His birthday party's tonight. Master Mac, did you get the birthday cake?

Mac: Yeah. I got help from the bakery to make a special birthday cake for Bloo. Twelve layers.

Mr. Herriman: Excellent. Miss Frances, did you get the decorations for the party?

Frankie: Oh yeah, I got all of them. Everyone's decorating one of the rooms upstairs.

Mr. Herriman: Perfect. Master Wilt, Master Eduardo, and Miss Coco will escort Master Blooregard to the party tonight.

(Frankie, Mac, Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco nod in agreement and decide to keep the meeting a secret until tonight. The scene cuts to Bloo crying on the balcony. He thinks his friends have turned against him, even Mac, his best friend.)

Bloo: I wish I was never created.

(Bloo cries for a while. Then, he sniffles and stops crying. Then, he gets angry.)

Bloo: (angry) I can't believe all of my friends have betrayed me. (sad) Especially Mac, my creator and best friend. (angry) They think I'm not good enough for them. You know what? I'm sick of this place. I'm going to run away. That's what I'll do. Run away.

(Bloo goes to his room and places a large sheet of cloth on his bed. He then grabs a handful of clothes and bedding and a pillow and places them on the cloth. Then, he ties the cloth around his possessions to a stick, turning it into a bindle. Then, he writes a note and puts it on his bed. Finally, Bloo carries his bindle out of his room, goes downstairs to the foyer, and walks out of the orphanage. He sadly turns around to look at it one last time.)

Bloo: Goodbye, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I hope you'll find a new imaginary friend who is good enough for you.

(Bloo turns around and runs away from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, the orphanage he used to call home, feeling as though his friends can never forgive him. The scene cuts to Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco decorating the living room. Once everything's ready for Bloo's surprise birthday party, Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco leave the living room and start heading upstairs.)

Wilt: Okay, here's what we're gonna do. Let's keep the meeting a secret and have a little talk with Bloo.

(Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco enter their room and discover that Bloo's gone. All they ever find is a letter. Wilt picks it up and starts reading it.)

Wilt: (reading the letter) "Dear Imaginary Friends, if you're reading this, I've heard you wanted to get rid of me. You got want you wanted. So, congratulations. Love, Bloo."

(Wilt becomes shocked that Bloo has run away from Foster's.)

Wilt: We gotta tell Mr. Herriman.

(The scene cuts to the sun in the blue sky. The song, "Welcome to New York" by Taylor Swift, plays as the camera pans down to the skyline of New York City. The skyline glimmers in the sun as the camera moves across the Hudson River toward the city itself. As the camera moves past the Statue of Liberty, a flock of seagulls appears fluttering into the morning sky. The camera moves into the city, over the Brooklyn Bridge, and past the Empire State Building. It then zooms in through Central Park and pans to Times Square. Finally, it pans up to a window from one of the tall buildings in the city. The camera zooms through it and shows an 18-year-old girl in her apartment sleeping in her bed. Her name is Emily Snips. She's a young filmmaker who is the biological daughter of Kip Snip, Bloo's former legal guardian. Emily loves to make movies. She wakes up as she opens her eyes, yawns, and stretches her arms. Then, she gets out of her bed and sits at her desk. She opens her laptop, turns it on, and logs in.)

Emily: Okay, let's see here.

(Emily opens up a scriptwriting program and starts writing a screenplay. As she's writing, the camera moves to the window, where a flock of seagulls flies by. Then, the camera moves back to Emily, who is writing the screenplay. Suddenly, she hears a knock on her door.)

Emily: Yes?

(The door opens, and Kimberly, Emily's best friend and roommate, enters with a bowl of ice cream and a spoon in her hand. She's a fashion designer.)

Kimberly: Hey, Em! I brought some ice cream.

Emily: (surprised) Oh, hi, Kim. What's the occasion?

Kimberly: I thought it'd be a nice way to reward ourselves after a long day of work.

Emily: (smiling) Great idea.

(Emily and Kimberly laugh and sit on the floor as they start eating their ice cream.)

Kimberly: So, how's the screenplay going on?

Emily: I haven't come up with any ideas.

Kimberly: Really? Any thoughts?

Emily: None! I'm stuck.

Kimberly: Well, why don't you take a break from writing and just relax?

Emily: That's a good idea.

(Emily and Kimberly laugh as they continue to eat their ice cream. Soon, they finish eating and stand up.)

Kimberly: Come on, Em. Let's get some air. It's a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the air is nice and fresh.

Emily: Good idea. Let's go for a walk.

(The scene fades to Emily and Kimberly walking in Central Park. It's a beautiful sunny day in New York.)

Kimberly: Nice out today, isn't it?

Emily: Great. I can't believe we'll be going to L.A. in a few days.

Kimberly: Yeah, so we can have a fun vacation, right?

Emily: Right! We'll have fun. (sees something blue) Hey, Kim. (points at the blue thing) Look!

(Kimberly sees what Emily is seeing. It's a blue creature standing in an alley across the street.)

Emily: What is that?

Kimberly: I don't know. I think it's something blue.

Emily: You're right. Let's check it out.

(Emily and Kimberly cross the street and walk up to the blue creature. It's Bloo. He looks scared, but he is relieved when he sees Emily and Kimberly. He takes a deep breath and speaks to them.)

Bloo: Hi.

(Emily and Kimberly scream in horror, and Bloo screams back and cowers in fear. He starts pleading for his life while thinking the two women are going to kill him.)

Bloo: Please don't kill me! I'm sorry I scared you.

Emily: It's okay, Bloo. We won't hurt you.

(Bloo stops cowering and stands up to face Emily.)

Bloo: You know my name?

Emily: Yes, I know you. You're Blooregard Q. Kazoo, the imaginary friend Mac created.

Bloo: (surprised) You know Mac?

Emily: Yes, I do. He's my brother.

(Bloo is shocked to find out that Emily is Mac's sister. He looks at her in awe and speaks.)

Bloo: You're Mac's sister?

Emily: (smiling) Yes, I am.

Kimberly: (smiling) What are you doing here, Bloo?

Bloo: (sadly) I ran away from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Emily: (sadly) Oh no. Why did you run away?

Bloo: (sadly) My friends wanted to get rid of me. I heard them saying it.

Emily: (angrily) What?! That's horrible!

Kimberly: (angrily) Yeah, they shouldn't have done that to someone like you.

(Emily and Kimberly are both angry at Mr. Herriman and Bloo's friends for trying to get rid of Bloo. Emily looks at Bloo with compassion and speaks.)

Emily: (kindly) Don't worry, Bloo. We won't let that happen. You can stay with us if you want.

(Bloo looks at Emily and Kimberly, feeling relieved. He smiles and starts to tear up.)

Bloo: (tearfully) Thank you.

(Emily and Kimberly smile and hug Bloo. Then, they break apart.)

Bloo: So, what brings you here?

Emily: My friend Kimberly and I are about to go on a fun vacation in Los Angeles, California. You're welcome to join us.

(Bloo looks at Emily and Kimberly, feeling excited. He smiles and nods in agreement.)

Bloo: Sure! I would love to join you!

(Emily and Kimberly smile and laugh. Then, they start walking out of the alley. Bloo follows them, feeling relieved. He then looks up at the sky with a smile on his face. The scene cuts to a montage of Emily and Kimberly showing Bloo around New York City. They show him the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Then, the scene cuts to Emily, Kimberly, and Bloo walking into Emily's apartment. Emily and Kimberly laugh as they walk into the living room.)

Emily: Well, Bloo, this is where you'll be spending the night. We'll leave first thing in the morning.

Bloo: Wow. Thanks, Emily.

Emily: You're welcome. Well, good night, Bloo.

Bloo: Good night, Emily.

(Emily and Kimberly leave the living room and go to their room. Bloo lays down on the couch, closes his eyes, and goes to sleep.)

Part 3: Flying to Los Angeles
(The scene cuts to Mr. Herriman in his office. He examines the letter before Mac and Frankie arrive. They're starting to worry about Bloo's disappearance.)

Mr. Herriman: My word! Bloo really is gone! He thought we would kick him out of the orphanage when, in reality, we were going to throw him a surprise party.

Mac: What are we gonna do? He's my best friend.

Frankie: Don't worry, Mac. We'll find Bloo. I hope he's alright.

More coming soon!
