The Stage Switch

I spotted the coiled black cord snaking along the living room baseboard and skidded to a halt. Right in the middle lay a round plastic foot pedal. 'Bon-Bon,' I whispered, leaning in close to his stitched ears, 'we have infiltrated the main stage power grid.' He gave me the nod. Without a second thought, I hopped into the air and slammed all my plush weight down onto the button. *CLICK!* A cone of blazing golden light instantly erupted from the tall lamp above, bathing the hardwood floor in a radiant circle. 'THE MAIN EVENT BEGINS!' I bellowed into the glare, thrusting Bon-Bon high into our glorious spotlight.
