BUG!

(written for LE)
Princess about 7 or 8 years old
thinks she sees a bug
Bug!
Queen comes running and yells:
Bug!
Queen discovers it just some fuzz or something.

The princess thinks she sees a bug again
Bug!
Queen comes running
Bug!
King comes running
Bug!
king discovers it's something else.

Thinks she sees a bug again
Bug!
Queen
Bug!
King
Bug!
lord
Bug!
lord discovers it's something else.

again
Bug!
Queen
Bug!
King
Bug!
lord
Bug!
page boy
Bug!
discovers it is something else.

again
Bug! Queen Bug! king Bug! lord Bug! page boy Bug! cooks Bug! Something else
again
Bug! Queen Bug! king Bug! lord Bug! page boy Bug! cooks Bug! stable boys Bug! something else.
again
Bug! Queen Bug! king Bug! lord Bug! page boy Bug! cooks Bug! stable boys Bug! mounted knight Bug! something else.

each time the next one is in the background connected to the last one who said bug. for example, the cooks see the page boy yell bug, then the next time he yells bug, they yell bug. So the bug epidemic of people running to rescue the princess from a bug spreads throughout the castle getting bigger each time. So the stable boys were helping a knight on his horse, and then he comes yelling BUG!
then foot soldiers, then archers, then calvary (by this time the Bug! response has spread over the drawbridge into some distant fields)When the calvary gallops off after the bug, there is a boy playing in the field next to them. So the next "bug! bug! bug! bug! bug! bug! bug!" the boy (who turns out to be the prince - the princesses brother) comes running.
in each picture there is really the same cute bug hiding and panicking because he thinks he is found, and then relieved everytime he realizes they weren't looking at him anyway.
the last time however, it really is him, and the prince catches him. Then takes him back to the field where he was playing, and lets him go. The princess has followed him and looks on aprehensively as he lays down int the dirt to look at it. Bug?
They both lay down in the dirt enjoying looking at it.
Bug.
last Scene them laying down looking at lots of bugs in the dirt.

(I'm thinking this might be a little long, so thinking of cutting some of the less interesting characters to shorten it.)
