*A shimmering distortion rips through the air, depositing the chaotic Horrid Henry cast into a plush, dimly lit theatre. Warm amber lights flicker on, illuminating rows of grey and white cushions. The screen remains ominously black. Ralph stumbles, confused. Henry’s mouth opens to speak, only to be cut off by Mum’s sharp reprimand. Dad looms, suspecting a prank, while Miss Battleaxe demands order with a stern glare. Peter tries to soothe the tension, but Margaret and Susan bicker nearby. The screen buzzes to life, announcing their fate: they will react to Horrid Henry. Henry groans at the ominous tone, while Ralph chuckles. Dad threatens grounding, Mum agrees, and Henry slumps onto a beanbag with Ralph, grabbing snacks as the adults settle in, wary and tense.*
