Fred is a Star in His Own Mind

Fred is a Star in His Own Mind is the fifth episode of the second season of the Fred YouTube series. It is the twenty-third episode overall.

Synopsis
Fred is sent to bed early after an outburst and has a fantastical dream!

Plot
The episode begins with Fred doing outside chores, slightly unhappy doing so. He takes a break from it, giving the audience an update on his Grease rehearsals; Ms. Amy's compliments of Fred being a tree makes him happy, and it makes him hopeful of eventually becoming famous.

Because Fred was distracted while doing his chores, his mom sends him to bed early even though it's still light outside. He whines about it, but does as she says anyway, making himself sleep.

He begins dreaming about life as a movie star, as part of the City of Ember cast. He experiences getting attention from paparazzi, having a personal car, interacting with the crew, and signing autographs for fans.

However, Fred eventually begins to act more bratty, entitled, and demanding. The studio boss appears to be very submissive towards his demands, but his attitude towards the rest of the crew causes some of them to quit out of frustration. The dreams ends with Fred dissatisfied at the precise temperature of his coffee.

Fred wakes up, feeling slightly outraged because of the crew appearing to quit on him all of a sudden. But he assumes that the dream was trying to teach him something, and concludes that being mean to people would make them quit on you. He asserts that he won't ever be mean once he becomes famous.

The episode ends with Fred going back to sleep because he has school tomorrow and he says he wants to look good for Ms. Amy and Judy.
