Line 1: {{trope}} [[The Hero]] and his [[Five -Man Band]] are gearing up for the [[Final Battle]], heading for the airport for the latest trip to a [[Temple of Doom]], or taking the ransom money to meet the kidnappers. The [[Tagalong Kid]], [[Annoying Younger Sibling]], or the [[Kid Appeal Character]] prepares to go likewise. [[The Hero]] tells him or her in no uncertain terms that there is no way they are going to be allowed to go along. [[Tempting Fate]]! Anybody [[Forbidden Fruit\|unequivocally ordered to stay behind never does]]. Lock them in their room? They escape with a [[Bedsheet Ladder]]. Leave someone to supervise them? Five seconds later, they're a [[Bound and Gagged]] [[Badly -Battered Babysitter]]. Keep every tarp, trunk, suitcase, or any area of empty space constantly visible to your eye 24/7, or it ''will'' be used as a hiding ~~place -- often~~place—often with the intention of the stowaways showing themselves once there's simply no way they can be safely sent back. This can also be said to [[The Hero]] by well-intentioned but misguided [[~~Mentor\|mentors~~mentor]]s trying to keep him or her [[Locked Out of the Loop]]. It might also be done to someone not in on the [[Masquerade]], making the motivation not so much their safety as protecting secrets. The [[Trope Namer]] is Basil is Disney's ''[[The Great Mouse Detective]]'' to Olivia, which accomplishes the trope with a [[Gilligan Cut]]. Compare [[Just a Kid]] and [[Stay in ~~The~~the Kitchen]], where someone is ordered to stay out of the conflict because of her gender rather than age. {{examples\|Examples:}}▼ ▲{{examples~~\|Examples:~~}} == Film - Animated == * Violet and Dash stow away on Helen's plane in ''[[The Incredibles]]'' ~~-- they~~—they both claim it was the other's idea.▼ * Carl accidentally takes Russel along with him in ''[[Up (~~Film~~animation)\|Up]]'' and realizes there's no way to get him home (although he contemplates using the [[Bedsheet Ladder]] to lower him to the ground, [[Crowning Moment of Funny\|he concluses that isn't gonna work]]).▼ * In ''[[Cloudy ~~With~~with a Chance of Meatballs]]'', after Flint makes the plan to stop the Meateroid, [[Tagalong Kid\|Brent]] asks what he can do.

He beats up the dwarf assigned to keep an eye on him, disguises himself, and keeps out of sight until the battle starts, when he reasons everyone will be too busy to notice him. {{quote\| '''Queen Lucy:''' But where is his goosecap highness?~~<br />~~ '''King Edmund:''' Not in the front line, and that's good enough for now. }} * In ''[[The Last Battle]]'', King Tirian tries to send Eustace and Jill home after they release him and Jewel, before he and his allies go into battle against the Calormenes. Jill refuses, but she feels like Eustace ruins the drama of the conflict by pointing out that they have no way of getting back to their world even if they wanted to. * Go ahead and just ''try'' to tell [[Harry Potter]] and his [[Power Trio]] to stay out of things and forget about the Sorceror's Stone, the Chamber of Secrets, Sirius Black, and the Order of the Phoenix.

[[Reverse Psychology\|I could'na possibly trust you to stay here]].~~<br />~~ '''Webby:''' Huh?
