Rebecca:

(to the audience)

I would say it’s kinda lame fighting a dragon because that means I always have my head in the clouds. BUT I REALLY SAW A DRAGON AND FOUGHT IT! Let me just say this…: I was just taking a nice bike ride when I stumbled upon a VERY big cave.

(fourth wall back up. Walk backstage.)

This cave looks intriguing (beat) I just HAVE to know what is in there. (walk back on stage. Look at the cave treasures. ) Oooh (hears a growl) Is that a scary and nasty growl I hear, or a snore? (looks around) Nah, nothing in this cave but me. Oh I wonder what’s in that chest right there? (kneel at the treasure chest, try to open it) Oh man. (look around for something to break open the treasure chest. Finds a sword) Oooh a SWORD!!! Maybe that will break open the treasure chest! (Bangs the treasure chest with the sword) (hears the growl again, dismisses it, finally opens the chess, finds crystals and gold!) I’m going to be rich! (to distracted with the the treasure and drops the sword, really hears the growl now!) Yah, No, that was NOT a snore. Please, please don’t be a dragon or a monster! (trembles, then dragon walks in, but it is tiny, relieved) (laughs, point and say ) You are tiny! You are not going to do me any harm. (dragon growls - Rebecca screams, runs in circles around the cave) Don’t touch me you nasty dragon! (hides behind a bow and arrow, throws it at the dragon, blinks and rubs eyes) Get away from me you dragon! (throws tacos from backpack, dragon ignores and walks away) Did you just walk away from the tacos!? Dragons Love tacos! (get closer to the dragon, dragon snaps at you, you run away, run off stage, get on the stage from the front) (To audience) I marched my way back home until I realized that I forgot my bike and the backpack with all my snacks in it! (slaps forehead) Oh well, I’ll just beg for MORE snacks and a new bike. (I promise not to leave it in the woods and let a dragon steal it).

[The knight is sitting on his horse—which is really a backward-facing chair they are straddling.]

Greetings! I am Sir Bob, the greatest, bravest knight you have ever seen! I have fallen from castle walls! I was so brave, a dragon laughed itself to death! Watch my sword moves!

[The knight swing their sword around and drops it on the ground. Look embarrassed at the audience.]

Oops! My sword is in the river. Come on, Great! Come on, horsie! Let’s go get that sword!

[The knight fumbles and falls off of the horse.]

Ouch! Oh no! My butt! Come on, Great! Why did you do that? Well, at least I can look for my sword now.

[Starts looking for his sword.]

There it is! In the river? I guess my feet are getting wet… [He wades a few steps into the river, and slips. SPLASH! Sitting on his butt…]

Oh no! All of me is wet! My armor is going to rust! SIGH. I guess I’m not much of a knight. Time to go back to Knight School.

[Stands and picks up sword. Take a few steps toward Knight School and trips again.]

Forget it. I don’t want to go to Knight School. I just want to go home.

THE END.

(Ulla has been traveling for three years looking for the Lunar Lion. She learns of an old man who might know the secret. At a small cabin in the grassy lands)

Ulla:

Hello, I am Ulla, I have been looking for Vincent Van Gover? Are you him?

If you were, you are too famous for life, and if you didn’t want me to bother you, you would say you were not.

(Ulla shows her phone with his picture on it)

Well I don’t think so. This picture on my phone clearly shows the face right in front of me. I have been looking for you for a very long time. I have a beginnings bell (beat) and if I ring it, it will make all of the Lunar Lions come to me. What if I ring this very special bell right now? (mimes ringing the bell) Will we both come out alive? (takes out a fake bell and rings it, Vincent take out his harmonica)

Ha! I knew it! Are you the wise old man that had tamed a Lunar Lion! You play a happy song on your harmonica and all the lions act like kittens.

(confused)

No?!

Okay now you're making me frustrated if you don’t tell the truth right now you are going to make me mad, okay?!

I really thought you were (sits on the ground) I failed so badly, I feel so stupid right now. I guess I’m a fake, I suck at my job, and even my beginnings bell is a fake. What am I supposed to do now? (Cries) I’m a failure. I’ve been lying to everyone, I have been so toxic.

(stops crying)

I’m sorry for being mean to you. I’ll just stop and go back home and think how I can become better.

(She goes to leave, but is interrupted by the man)

Oh thank you! Oh thank you! You are too kind to me. Thank you for giving me everything I will need to find the Lunar Lion with, and for your beautiful harmonica. You are the kindest man.

(Jack wants to bake a cake for his sister’s birthday but he doesn’t know how to)

JACK:

Today is Thursday, February 9 it is Mia's birthday. Mia is my little sister. Mom took her for a playdate and I only have three hours to figure out what to get her for a present. I could make her a card, ehh, not good enough, hmmm maybe I can do her chores for her! Well but she doesn’t have that many so it won't be good enough either. OH! I know! I can bake her a birthday cake. She loves chocolate icing and rainbow sprinkles. I’ve never really made a cake before, and today is going to be my first time baking one, it's not that hard, I think. I've seen mom do it all the time for my Birthdays. I better not mess it up!

(looks at the recipe)

Ok it looks like I have to add flour first. Hmmm how much? How much? I can’t really see through. It says cups, let me find the biggest mug in the cupboard. Here, this is going to work. (gets a giant mug and measures out the flour) Perfect. Now we add eggs, milk and sugar. Three eggs. Hmmm it says smudge cups of milk, I guess this mug will have to do again. Let’s add two cups of milk. And finally sugar. Let me see this smudge kind of tasted like brownies. Mix, mix, mix. Hmmm, looks ready to bake!

(waits around)

Smells good, actually smells like burnt stuff. (run and open the oven) OMG! The cake is completely burnt! (Exhale) I guess I’ll have to get a cake from the store.

“AHHH! It’s a snow monster!!! He’s going to eat us! Run for your life!”

That’s what they always say. I try to run after them and tell them I’m friendly, but nothing really works.

So you think you know something about Yetis?

They’re mean, scary and dangerous.

They’re big and hairy with large snow-shoe like feet. Perfect for running in snow and catching kids.

That demonic roar! Oh, and the red piercing eyes!

Those sharp teeth? PERFECT for eating little kids. They make a tasty treat!

But in reality, we Yetis aren’t like that at all.

We love to learn just like other kids. My favorite subject is math. There are really cool symbols like square root, Pi, and theta. Fun fact: Pi is infinite and has been calculated to more than 22 trillion digits!

We love to sing just like other kids. My favorite song is “Video killed the Radio STar”. I was hooked when I listened to the song with Mommy Yeti. Fun fact: This was the first music video on MTV!

We love to play just like other kids. My favourite game is hide and seek. Being “it” is the best because it’s so exciting to find someone. Fun fact: There is even an international hide and seek competition!

Sigh, but no one wants to play with me. Why doesn’t anyone like me?

When it comes to Yetis, we actually feel really lonely and excluded.

Talk about being misunderstood.

I am so done. Done. DONE WITH BEING JUDGED!!!
