Short Story for animatic

BP vs J
Kyle LeFeber
During one mild day in the state of Florida, in a small rainforest, a grown boy of 21 years of age named Mr. BP, the banana pepper, was minding his own business in his own home. Mr. BP works at Marsh as a full-time job, has no family and became an orphan who depended on himself, not to mention he is a high school drop-out. In his own free time, he loves to go on adventures: Hiking, camping, mountain climbing… etc.
One day he decided to go on an adventure to the end of the rainforest and back. He left to go on the adventure, but he had to turn around because he forgot to get some water at home. He arrived at his house only to discover that his home is being invaded by an evil villain, Mr. J, the jalapeƱo. Mr. J is a spicy, evil, villain who wants nothing to go right for anyone, he always gets what he wants, and he takes over other peoples’ houses’ and land as part of taking over the rainforest, but he had to capture Mr. BP as well.
Mr. BP saw Mr. J taking over his home. They made eye contact, and Mr. BP began to chase him down. They were on a foot race for about an hour until Mr. BP ran into a river that he had to cross. He didn’t know how to swim. Mr. J was hot on his trail and Mr. BP had to think fast. Mr. BP saw a half-made raft close to the river, so he decided to finish the raft and float across the river. It didn’t take him long to finish it, until when he tried it out, it was unsteady and Mr. J threw flaming jalapeno rocks at it and set the raft on fire and sank it to the bottom of the river. Mr. BP somehow found a way back to the shore by floating.
Mr. BP passed out while floating and woke up the next day lying on the shoreline and Mr. J was nowhere to be found. He had another idea. He thought that building a bridge would get him across the river safe and sound. He started building the bridge in which that took away most of his day to do it. The bridge now seems to hold him pretty well and it reaches half-way across the river and still no sign of Mr. J. An hour passes by and Mr. BP hears something in the distance behind him. It is Mr. J who had been on the search for him all night. So, without warning, Mr. J destroys the bridge by burning it with his spicy touch. Down goes Mr. BP again. Mr. J never saw him again after that burning wreckage, so he left and all of a sudden pops up Mr. BP from under the water and he uses some of the wood from the wreckage to float back to the shore. He built a shelter out of scraps from the wreckage and slept the night away… thinking.
He woke up the next day with a brilliant plan and it did not require much material to follow through with the plan. His next plan was so simple; he wished he would have thought of it in the first place. His plan was to disguise himself as seaweed and using a bamboo reed to breathe through while he is underwater. He tried out the stunt, and he succeeds. He covered himself with seaweed and the bamboo reed just looked like a floating piece of wood drifting along the river. Mr. J never saw Mr. BP again and Mr. BP lived to tell the story to others.
