CAST OF CHARACTERS (2m 2f - 4 total)
BUZZ, MOM, HONEY, STING
SCENE
(A humanoid bee family gathers at the kitchen table for breakfast. BUZZ gets out his newspaper and reads. MOM is getting the table ready for breakfast. Their daughter HONEY joins them. HONEY has some art drawings she has been working on)
BUZZ: Let’s see what’s buzzworthy today. More drama at the capital with those pollentician of course. That reminds me… can you believe they wanted me to give them a bunch of USBees as free-bees at some government event? I can’t afford that. Next time they call, they’re only to hear a buzzy signal, because I’m not answering.
(MOM wants to change the subject and shows some papers to BUZZ and HONEY looks shy)
MOM: Look at what Honey drew. Aren’t these amazing?
BUZZ: I love your art, Honey. You’re a regular Pablo Bee-coso.
HONEY: It’s no big deal, Dad. I’m just winging it and having fun.
(Their son, STING, comes in looking sad. MOM is busy serving breakfast and doesn’t notice right away)
MOM: Hey, Sting. Good morning. I saw in your school sylla-buzz that you have a spelling bee coming up.
STING: No worries. I have all the words memorized.
BUZZ: Oh, quit pollen my leg.
STING: Whatever.
(BUZZ puts down his newspaper and looks at STING closely)
BUZZ: What’s the buzz, son? Something got you down?
(MOM looks concerned)
MOM: Do you need help brushing your hair? Where’s the honeycomb?
(MOM finds a comb)
STING: It’s okay, Mom.
MOM: Let me help.
(MOM starts brushing his hair)
STING: Ow! I should just get a buzz cut.
HONEY: Why are you so grumpy today, Sting?
STING: Mind your own beeswax, Honey.
MOM: Now, don’t talk to your sister like that.
BUZZ: Hold up. What a minute? Let’s all calm down and talk about this before it becomes a sticky situation.
MOM: Are you not feeling good? Have you been taking your vitamin bee?
HONEY: Is it your skin problem? Are you getting hives again?
STING: I’m just feeling sad okay?
MOM: You know what I do when I’m sad. I listen to my favorite music. Bee-thoven is my favorite.
BUZZ: I love the Bee-Gees.
HONEY: What about Bee-yonce or Justin Bee-ber?
MOM: Or that bee-bop stuff you like?
BUZZ: Or we could go out and play some sports this weekend. We could throw around the frizz-bees or get some of the other guys together for a rug-bee game?
STING: I don’t know…
BUZZ: Don’t be a mumble-bee. Spit it out. Tell us what’s wrong?
(STING sighs and they are all quiet a moment)
STING: I’m having a hard time at school. I’m not like the other kids. It’s not easy being the only one like me at school. Everyone is always bugging me about how different I am from them. I just want to blend in and not be noticed anymore. But sometimes I want to be noticed by someone I like, but I’m too afraid of how they might be because I’m so different from them. I don’t know which I hate more… the ones staring at me or the ones ignoring me.
BUZZ: To quote the late, great Herman Munster, it doesn’t matter what you look like. If you’re tall or short, fat or thin, ugly or handsome. What matters is the size of your heart and the strength of your character.
MOM: Beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder.
(HONEY gives STING a drawing)
HONEY: And here’s a drawing of our awesome family showing how amazing we are.
STING: Cool. I look like a superhero.
HONEY: You’ll always be a super bee to me.
STING: Thanks everyone. It’s nice knowing I have you all on my side.
MOM: We’re in this together. We’re all a part of the same hive mind.
BUZZ: Hive five!
(STING gives BUZZ a high five)
MOM: We’re in beeness now.
(HONEY gets up from the table and grabs her backpack)
HONEY: We better go or we'll be late for the school buzz.
(MOM gives STING some gum)
MOM: Here you go. I got your favorite bumble gum.
STING: Thanks!
MOM: Bee on best bee-hive-ior today at school today.
HONEY: We will! Look, Sting. Your friend is waiting for us.
STING: Hey Bud!
MOM: Have a great day at school, kids.
(STING and HONEY exit. BUZZ stretches and MOM comes over for a hug)
BUZZ: I’m so glad it’s Friday. What do we have going this weekend?
MOM: We have that house-swarming party on Saturday for the new neighbors. We’re bringing Humm-burgers.
BUZZ: I love your hummm-burgers. With honey mustard.
(MOM laughs)
MOM: That’s how we met. Remember?
BUZZ: How could I forget.
MOM: I was cooking my humm-burgers on the bee-bee-q for my parents and you buzzed on past and stopped suddenly, poking your head over the fence. I’m not sure what you liked more the humm-burgers or me.
BUZZ: Definitely you. You were bee-autiful. You still are.
MOM: You were so funny. You wouldn’t go away. You said, “Come closer. I won’t sting.”
BUZZ: And you told me to beehive myself.
MOM: But then I was thinking, I’ll bee yours.
BUZZ: I could tell by the way you looked at me. Then I said, “Here’s my number. Give me a buzz.”
MOM: You were so cool. I was stuck on you. You were the bees knees.
BUZZ: I had pollen in love with you.
MOM: I’m glad you’re my hubb-bee.
BUZZ: You know what we should do? We should drop the kids off at your parents some time and have a second honeymoon.
MOM: I’d love that. You have me all a flutter now.
BUZZ: Or we could go with plan bee and I could just take the day off today.
MOM: I’d love that too.
BUZZ: And I could stay home and we’ll talk about the birds and the bees.
MOM: Oh, beehive yourself.
(BUZZ jumps up and makes a buzzing sound and chases MOM around the house)
BUZZ: Come here my little flower.
(MOM laughs and they run off stage)

JINGLE: There’s this contest, see. And I want to win. Want to win! WANT TO WIN!
BODO: What’s the prize?

BODO: No, seriously. What’s the prize?
JINGLE: There might be a cash prize… and a trip… and a television appearance.

BODO: But the prize helps.
JINGLE: Are you going to help me or not?
BODO: Fine. But have you ever written a song?
JINGLE: How hard can it be? I’m always singing. I’m alway listening to music.
I was made to make music.
BODO: Well, it’s probably important to pick a topic for the song.
JINGLE: A topic… hmmm.
BODO: Maybe you can sing about something you like?

JINGLE: What are duppies and buppies?
BODO: Yuppies!

BODO: Young urban professionals.
JINGLE: I still don’t know what that is.
BODO: Maybe the song should be about dogs.
(JINGLE sings)
JINGLE: This is my song about a puppy dog. Puppies are so very very cute.
A dog is better than a smelly hog. This is something you can’t refute.
(BODO laughs)

BODO: You’re welcome.
JINGLE: I’m glad you like it.
BODO: I’m glad you’re glad.

SCENE
(In darkness, ANNOUNCER begins)
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to the school arm wrestling championship. Battle of the grades! Are you ready to wrestle?!
(STUDENTS cheer and two lines form from two different classes on each side of the wrestling table. The wrestling table is center stage with a seat on the R and L sides of the table. MINDY is the littlest of the right side group and is at the end of the line with TONY, SAM and ANDY)
MINDY: We can do this everyone. We can win. I just know it.
TONY: Ah, you must be the new kid.
MINDY: Yeah! I’m Mindy! This is going to be awesome. I love arm wrestling.
SAM: Sure, sure. I’ve bet you’ve got some big muscles hiding in those tiny arms of yours.
MINDY: Mighty Mindy! That’s what they call me. I have hidden strength passed on to me from my grandfather who was a pro-wrestler and my great grandmother who was a Lucha Libre.
(MINDY does a wrestling pose and growls wildly)
TONY: Well, you certainly have the right attitude.
MINDY: Mind over muscle!
(MINDY roars)
SAM: Sorry, new kid, but no class ever wins this championship except that class over there.
MINDY: Why’s that? They don’t look special.
TONY: They don’t have their key player yet… wait. Here he comes.
ANDY: Oh, no. Not Muscle Mike. He’s in that class?
(A giant kid named MIKE comes out and joins the team on the left. Everyone on the right side team sighs in defeat except MINDY)
SAM: I think he got even bigger? Isn’t he done growing yet?
TONY: He’s the reason they win every year.
MINDY: No problem. I’ve beaten bigger, stronger guys.
SAM: What? Sure, you have.
MINDY: It’s all in the mind. Mighty Mind Mindy must massacre Muscle Mike.
(MINDY holds her hands to her head and does weird things with her eyes)
TONY: Uh… okay.
ANDY: Ah! They’re sending Muscle Mike to the front of the line. Not fair.
(Team on left lets MIKE cut to the front and they all laugh and snicker as they do, knowing they won’t have to wrestle if MIKE is at the lead)
SAM: I don’t think any of the rest of those students have ever had to arm wrestled before. Mike always takes the lead and beats everyone.
MINDY: That’s about to change. Get out your money cause I’m making change.
(MINDY does some boxing moves and accidentally punches ANDY)
ANDY: Ow!
MINDY: Sorry. Mind heal.
(MIND touches her head and then touches ANDY)
ANDY: Thanks. That kind of helped.
MINDY: You’re welcome.
(MINDY does some more and ANDY smiles)
TONY: So weird.
ANNOUNCER: Let the games begin! First up, we have Muscle Mike from the class on the 2nd floor, hall B.
(Left side team cheers)
MIKE: I’m ready.
(MIKE goes to the table at the center and sits and slams elbow onto the table in an arm wrestling position. The slam makes the right side team jump, except for MINDY)
ANNOUNCER: And from the first floor team in hall C, we have Sam!
MINDY: That’s Super Sam!
ANNOUNCER: Okay, then. Super Sam!
(SAM doesn’t want to go. TONY pushes him up to the table. SAM sadly sits at the table and shakily puts arm on the table)
ANNOUNCER: Prepare for your match!
(MIKE grabs SAM’s hand and SAM squeaks and closes his eyes)
ANNOUNCER: Battle!
(MIKE quickly slams SAM’s hand down and SAM stumbles from the table)
ANNOUNCER: Win for Muscle Mike.
(Left side team cheers. SAM stumbles away holding his arm like it is broken)
ANNOUNCER: Next up, Tony.
MIGHTY: Terrible Tony!
TONY: I’m terrible all right.
ANNOUNCER: Terrible Tony is ready to take on Muscle Mike.
TONY: Yeah, yeah. Sure I am.
MINDY: Terrible Tony’s grreeeaat!
TONY: Let’s get this over with.
(TONY sits down and holds out arm)
TONY: Take it easy okay.
(MIKE smiles and growls and takes TONY’s hand)
TONY: Lovely.
ANNOUNCER: Battle!

(Left side cheers)

(MINDY dances like a boxer up to the table. She does push ups on the end of the table. MIKE starts to laugh)
MINDY: Wrestle ups. One, two. One two. I bet you can do these, Mike. Can you? Can you? Nope. Didn’t think so.
MIKE: I break table if I do that.
MINDY: Well, I break it with my mind.
(MINDY puts head on table)
MINDY: Zap! Broken table.
(MIKE is laughing more)
MIKE: Silly Mindy.
(MINDY jumps on the table and looks close at MIKE)
MINDY: I have a strong mind Mike. A very strong mind. Powerful!
(MIKE is laughing more)
MIKE: Oh, mighty mind Mindy.
MINDY: That’s right. The Mighty Mind Mindy. He knows! He knows my name! I am famous!
MIKE: So silly.
(MIKE is really laughing now. MINDY sits at chair and does her head holding mind stance with really silly eyes)
MINDY: Mind powers activate.
(MIKE puts arm on table but is laughing hard)
MIKE: You crack Mike up. Look at those eyes.
MINDY: Mighty mind eyes!
(MIKE is laughing so hard his eyes are closed)
ANNOUNCER: Battle!
(MINDY launches herself at his arm and slams it quickly to the table)
ANNOUNCER: Might Mindy wins!

MINDY: Hey, Mike.
MIKE: Yeah?
MINDY: Good game.
(MINDY holds out hand to shake)
MIKE: Yeah.
(MIKE holds out hand. MINDY switches her fingers to scissors)
MINDY: Scissors beats paper.
(MINDY’s finger scissors cuts MIKE’s hand. MIKE gives her a weird look and then laughs)

SCENE
(KIDS wait in line in the lunchroom. SALLY is first in line looking around for lunch lady. TOMMY, JO and other KIDS look annoyed)
SALLY: Where is the lunch lady?
TOMMY: She’s never late.
JO: How long can it take to make that slop she throws together?
TOMMY: I wish my parents would let me bring my own lunch.
JO: Me too. I hate the food here.
SALLY: It may not look pretty, but it is very nutritious. It has all the essential vitamins and wholesome ingredients to keep us healthy and strong.
TOMMY: But does it have to look so gross?
JO: Looks like something a bird makes for its young.
(JO pretends to be a mama bird regurgitating food. TOMMY laughs and cringes when JO acts like he is the baby bird she is going to feed. Suddenly LORD appears with covered silver platters)
LORD: Hail, my good people. Your feast is served!
TOMMY: Who’s that?
SALLY: That’s not our lunch lady.
JO: What do you call a guy who works at a school cafeteria?
TOMMY: A lunch lord?
LORD: That is I, the Lord of the Lunch. Come forth and partake of this delicious meal, young ones.
JO: That actually smells good.
(LORD uncovers a platter of food and gives it to TOMMY)
TOMMY: And looks good too!
SALLY: Where is our lunch lady?
LORD: Alas, she can’t be found anywhere. So they called on me to save the day.
(TOMMY takes a bite of what he is served)
TOMMY: This is really good! All hail, the Lord of the Lunch!
JO: All hail, the Lord of the Lunch!
(KIDS cheer except for SALLY)
KIDS: Hurray!
SALLY: This isn’t healthy food. Is this school approved?
LORD: Due to the last minute switch, the school has given me free reign over this domain. So I got a little creative.
TOMMY: A little? This is amazing. Try it, Sally.
SALLY: I prefer the lunch lady’s healthier options.
JO: You’re crazy. This actually takes like food. Actually, it’s better than most food. It’s amazing.
LORD: Why, thank you, kind citizen.
(SALLY exits angrily)
TOMMY: So are you really called The Lord of the Lunch?
LORD: Indeed.
(LORD gets a metal ladle and a metal pan lid and plays them while he sings)
LORD (chants): They call me Lord of the Lunch, and my food they like to munch.
KIDS: They call him Lord of the Lunch, and his food we like to munch.
(LORD plays and dances)
LORD: Hey! Hey! Hey!
KIDS: Hey! Hey! Hey!
(SALLY rushes back in)
SALLY: Wait a minute!
(Everyone stops)
TOMMY: What’s wrong now, Sally?
SALLY: I found the lunch lady.
JO: Why… why… why would you do such a thing?
(LUNCH LADY enters angrily. She has on a hair net but otherwise looks messed up)
LORD: Egads!
SALLY: Someone locked her in the janitor’s closet.
LADY: And it wasn’t the janitor.
(LORD is nervous)
LORD: I wonder who did that?
LADY: I came in early to get the kitchen ready for the school day and some mysterious, dark figure came from the shadows and shoved me into the closet and locked the door.
LORD: How strange.
LADY: Don’t play innocent. I know you’ve been after my job.
LORD: It is a glorious vocation, I must admit.
LADY: See! He admits it!
LORD: There’s only one way to settle this.
SALLY: By calling the cops?
LORD: No, by doing battle!
KIDS (except SALLY): Hurray! Fight. Fight. Fight.
SALLY: Fight? Are you insane? That’s not how…
LORD: Choose your weapons.
SALLY: I’ll go get help.
LADY: No, Sally. Wait. I accept his challenge.
LORD and KIDS (except SALLY): Huzzah!
(LORD and LADY survey the kitchen and size each other up before the battle)
TOMMY: I wonder what weapons they’ll pick?
JO: Knives. Gotta be knives. Cooks love knives.
LORD: I select… my ladle of doom!
JO: What?!
LADY: And I select hair nets!
(LADY pulls hair nets from her pocket)
LORD: A worthy weapon.
TOMMY: Is it?
KIDS: Fight! Fight! Fight!
(LADY and LORD circle each other. LORD hums a fighting tune. LADY shoots a hair net at him and he yelps in pain. She shoots another and he drops his ladle. She chases him off stage and he lets out a big cry of pain. He stumbles in and has his hands over his eyes)
LORD: Alas! She shot me in my eyes. I can not see!
(Then LUNCH LADY puts hair net over his head and hands so he is stuck with his hands over his face and he falls down. She puts her foot on him to hold him down and raises her hands in victory)
SALLY: Hurray for the Lunch Lady!
JO: Back to school gruel again.
TOMMY: So much for the Lord of the Lunch.
(One of the KIDS, MINNY, recites a poem like a medieval minstrel - this part can be done by JO or TOMMY if it is a smaller cast)
MINNY: The Lord of the Lunch almost won the day
With food so rich, like delicious pate’.
For him we cheer, wishing for more
But he made our old lunch lady sore.
With hair nets and ladles, they did battle.
And our Lord fell out of his saddle.
A great chef fallen to a mightier foe.
Whose food tastes like a rotten toe.

SALLY (CONT.): I don’t think it’s nice, you laughing. See, my dollies don’t like people laughing. They have this crazy idea that you’re laughing at them. If you apologize, like I know you’re going to, I might convince them that you didn’t really mean it.
(SALLY holds out dolly. RHONDA spits on it. SALLY throws dolly with all her might and it knocks out RHONDA. DAWN and BERTHA jump up but SALLY throws more dollies that hit them and knock them out. PRINCIPAL rushes in)
PRINCIPAL: What’s going on here?
BUD: They were being mean to her. They hurt her dollies.
PRINCIPAL: But what happened to them?
SALLY: My dollies hurt them back.
PRINCIPAL: I think you hurt them, not your little dollies. You’ll be in big trouble for this.
SALLY: Who are you?
PRINCIPAL: The Principal.
SALLY: Well, if you’re the principal then you better get these bullies under control, because it seems like they’re running the school, not you.
(PRINCIPAL looks ashamed)
PRINCIPAL: You’ve been warned. I don’t want to see any more trouble around here. You understand?
SALLY: I’ll have a talk with my dollies. I don’t like making trouble. But my dollies here, they seem to have minds of their own. They don’t like to see people getting picked on. They just want everyone to be treated with a little respect.
(Old Western movie music plays. SALLY gathers her dollies lovingly, uses RHONDA’s shirt to clean the one that got spit on, and exits)

TIME AND PLACE
A home’s laundry room at night
SCENE
(Tooth Fairy - TF - sneaks around a house - goes into a laundry room)
TF: Now, where is that kid’s room?
(TF sees another fairy [SOCK FAIRY - SF] in the laundry room)
TF: Hey! What are you doing here? I’m the tooth fairy assigned to this family.
SF: I’m not a tooth fairy.
TF: What are you then?
SF: I’m a sock fairy.
TF: A sock fairy?
SF: You haven’t heard of us?
TF: Nope.
SF: We are the fairies who take one of your socks. You know how you’re always looking for a match to a sock, but you can never find it? Well, that’s us. Us sock fairies do that.
TF: And… WHY would you want to do that?
SF: Because it’s funny.
TF: So you’re just doing it for fun? But it makes people mad.
SF: But it’s hilarious.
TF: Not really.
SF: What about you?
TF: What do you mean?
SF: What you do is just gross.
TF: Gross?
SF: Collecting baby teeth. Ick. I can’t imagine anything yuckier. What do you do with all those teeth?
TF: Arts and crafts… jewelry…
SF: Very gross.
TF: At least we pay for them. At least we leave money in exchange for what we do.
SF: We do as well.
TF: You do?
SF: Yeah, you know how people always find coins in the washer and dryer. That’s us. We take one sock and leave a coin or two.
TF: Oh pennies and dimes. We leave whole dollars. Sometimes more.
SF: And look at all the debt you tooth fairies have. You’re going to bankrupt fairyland with your spendy ways.
(Sound)
TF: What’s that? I hope we didn’t wake them. I didn’t get the tooth yet.
SF: Ha! I already got my sock! Penny for you.
(SF drops a penny in the dryer)
TF: Someone’s there! Hide!
(Jingling of keys heard. KEY FAIRY [KF] appears)
SF: It’s just a key fairy.
TF: A what?
KF: Oh, hey Socky.
SF: What’s up, Jingles?
KF: Where should I hide the keys tonight?
TF: What’s going on here?
SF: Check it out, Jingles. Newbie tooth fair here. What’s your name, Noob?
TF: You can call me Chompers.
KF: Ha! Nice one.
TF: Shhh… I haven’t gotten my tooth yet.
KF: You’ve got it tough, Chompers. Tooth fairies have the hardest job of all. You have to go right up to them stinky little sleepy humans and reach under their smelly pillows full of slobber. Gives me chills just thinking about it.
TF: So fairies take people’s keys too! I can’t believe this. What’s the point of that?
KF: It’s fun.
(SF and KF laugh)
SF: See, Jingles gets it.
(TF gets mad)
TF: Well… keys have been in people’s pockets… sometimes near their butts.
(SF and KF laugh harder)
(GLASSES FAIRY - GF - appears - GF looks cool and wears sunglasses)
GF: You hide those keys yet? I want to put their sunglasses somewhere totally weird.
TF: And who’s this?
GF: I’m the glasses fairy. My name’s Goggles. Nice to meet you.
(GF gives TF a friendly hand shake)
TF: Hi, Goggles. My name’s Chompers.
GF: Love the name. Perfect name for a Tooth Fairy. These goons harassing you?
TF: Naw, it’s okay. I just didn’t know there were so many different kinds of fairies. They don’t tell you about that in Tooth Fairy School.
GF: You just don’t get a full picture of the fantasy world in school. It’s a very narrow education. You really have to get out in the real world to experience things like they really are.
TF: But I don’t understand. What’s the point of taking socks and hiding keys and glasses?
GF: We are trying to keep humans humble.
TF: Oh?
GF: Humans think pretty highly of themselves and decided long ago they don’t have a need for anything magical or fantastic such as fairies, mermaids or unicorns. So we all hide away, staying out of sight, forgotten by the “real” world. As much as we miss being a part of their lives, we know we must let humanity go their own way. So we do things like this… just to make sure they don’t get too full of themselves.
SF: And it’s fun too.
GF: Quite fun! Yes!
(SF, GF and KF laugh)
TF: There’s so much I don’t know. So much I have to learn.
GF: Tooth fairies only scratch the surface of what’s possible. There are so many fabulous fun things a fairy can do.
KF: You should join us.
SF: Have you ever thought about becoming a remote control fairy?
KF: Or a phone fairy.
GF: Or even a wallet fairy.
SF: We have some openings on our team.
KF: After that cat ate some of them.
GF: Shhh!
TF: I’m not sure.
SF: Come on!
TF: You all do look like you have a lot of fun.
KF: We do!
TF: And being a tooth fairy is expensive.
SF: You’ll go from spending dollars to only pennies a day.
GF: You just hide the remote control and leave a few coins under the sofa cushions. Easy peazy.
KF: No more drooling kids and sticky pillows.
SF: No more smelly rotten milk burps as you reach for those teeth.
TF: Those are the worst.
GF: So? You wanna join us?
TF: I do!
ALL: Huzzah!
KF: Grab a remote control. I’ll show you some really fun hiding places.
TF: Okay!
SF: Watch out humans! Here we come! Hide your socks, hide your keys, hide glasses… we’re just hiding everything around here.
(SF laughs and other fairies run past with things to hide)

Their dog BOPPY is in a weird position on the ground in front of them. BOPPY suddenly gets alert and starts looking around. UNICORN appears behind a bush. BOPPY sniffs around. UNICORN sneaks up behind bush as BOPPY heads to bush. PAUL suddenly sneezes. This scares UNICORN and she runs off)
WINNY: Bless you.
PAUL: That was weird. That sneeze came out of nowhere.
WINNY: Where’s Boppy?
PAUL: Hey Boppy!
(BOPPY is behind a bush making sniffy and little barking sounds. PAUL goes up to investigate)
PAUL: What did you find? I hope it’s not a skunk again.
WINNY: That was awful.
(BOPPY goes to bench sniffing. PAUL watches but stays by bush. UNICORN sneaks behind bush)
PAUL: Tell me about it. My room still smells like skunk.
WINNY: You sure that’s not just your dirty laundry?
PAUL: Funny.
(PAUL sneezes again. UNICORN runs off)
PAUL: What is going on?
(BOPPY runs back to bush)
WINNY: Are you coming down with something?
PAUL: I don’t feel sick. It’s more like allergies.
WINNY: What are you allergic to?
PAUL: I didn’t think I was allergic to anything.
WINNY: Everyone is allergic to something.
PAUL: Is that so? That a proven medical fact?
WINNY: I read it on the internet.
PAUL: Well, then it must be true if you read it online.
(BOPPY goes crazy when UNICORN tries sneaking by. PAUL turns and bumps into UNICORN. PAUL yelps and sneezes violently and falls down at WINNY’s feet. BOPPY chases UNICORN off stage. WINNY doesn’t look up from her tablet)
WINNY: Bless you.
(PAUL moans. WINNY looks)
WINNY: You okay?
PAUL: Not really.
WINNY: Why'd you fall down?
PAUL: You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.
WINNY: Why not?
PAUL: I think I know what’s making me sneeze?
WINNY: What?
PAUL: A unicorn.
WINNY: Did you say unicorn?
PAUL: Yup.
WINNY: There’s no such thing as unicorns.
(WINNY goes back to looking at her phone. BOPPY chases UNICORN across the stage and they both step on PAUL. PAUL has a sneezing fit and rolls around on the ground)
WINNY: Please stop that. You’re embarrassing yourself.
(PAUL sneezes after each word)
PAUL: Didn’t… you… see… uh…. Uni… uni…
WINNY: What’s Boppy barking at anyway?
PAUL: Uh… uh… uni… uni…
WINNY: Oh, now Boppy is seeing unicorns too.
(BOPPY returns and plops down on PAUL)
PAUL: Get off.
(PAUL struggles to get BOPPY off)
WINNY: Did you get that mean old unicorn, Boppy?
(BOPPY shakes head excitedly)
WINNY: Good dog. See, Paul. Boppy got it. You’re safe now.
(UNICORN sneaks up behind bush again. BOPPY sniffs)
PAUL: Oh, no. It’s back. Check the bush! Check the bush!
(UNICORN sneaks away)

PAUL: Go look. Quick.
(WINNY sighs and goes over to bush. BOPPY follows)
WINNY: Ah! It got me!

PAUL: Winny!
WINNY: What?
(WINNY comes out laughing)
PAUL: You okay?
WINNY: Yup.
PAUL: Did you see it?
WINNY: Nope.
PAUL: I must be going crazy.
WINNY: Definitely.
(They go back to their original positions at the start of the play: WINNY on her phone, PAUL with his bag of food and BOPPY in a weird position on the ground)
PAUL: I’m always randomly sneezing. I wonder if it is unicorns that cause that?
WINNY: Sure, Paul. That seems possible. I suspect that there is an invisible unicorn around every time you sneeze.
(PAUL mumbles annoyed)
PAUL: They’re not always invisible.
(UNICORN sneaks up and steals WINNY’s phone. PAUL sneezes. BOPPY has fallen asleep and doesn’t react. UNICORN runs off)
WINNY: My phone?! It took my phone.
PAUL: What took your phone?
WINNY: Didn’t you see it?
PAUL: Say it.
WINNY: I don’t want to.
PAUL: Tell me what took your phone.
WINNY: It was…
PAUL: Yes?
WINNY: A unicorn.
PAUL: I knew it.
WINNY: Why did it take my phone? Boppy!
(BOPPY wakes up startled)
WINNY: Go get that unicorn!
(BOPPY goes sniffing around. UNICORN is hiding behind bush)
PAUL: I can’t believe we saw a real unicorn.
WINNY: Are their real unicorns? I thought they were made up. I wish I had my phone so I could look that up.
PAUL: I think it’s safe to say that this is unusual.
(BOPPY finds UNICORN behind bush)
WINNY: Boppy found the unicorn! Get my phone!
PAUL: You get it. I can’t go near it. I’ll sneeze myself to death.
WINNY: I don’t think anyone has ever died from a sneeze attack.
PAUL: How can you know for sure without your phone?
WINNY: Give me my phone back, unicorn!
(BOPPY drags UNICORN out.PAUL backs away. UNICORN holds up phone. WINNY grabs it)
WINNY: Good Boppy. Bad Unicorn.
(BOPPY is excited. UNICORN is sad)
PAUL: You made it sad.
WINNY: Me? It’s the one that took my phone.
PAUL: Maybe it needed to call home.
(UNICORN nods sadly)
PAUL: See.
(WINNY sighs and changes her tone)
WINNY: Are you lost, little unicorn?
(UNICORN nods sadly)
WINNY: Did you just need to call home?
(UNICORN nods sadly)
WINNY: Okay, here you go. You can make a call.
(UNICORN grabs phone and runs off happily)

(WINNY sits on the bench with her arms crossed, pouting. PAUL struggles over the bench and overdramatically pulls himself next to her)

WINNY: It’s about time you showed a little compassion and caring.
PAUL: I’m so sorry.
(PAUL falls to the ground and passes out. BOPPY returns and lays on him)
WINNY: I haven’t posted anything for like… a long time… what will my followers think? Maybe they think I’m dead. What if they think I’m dead and stop following me? My life is ruined.
(WINNY starts crying. UNICORN enters concerned. WINNY cries louder. UNICORN goes up to her and holds out her phone. WINNY squeals in delight and snatched back her phone. UNICORN starts to go sadly)
WINNY: Come here, you.
(UNICORN comes back happily. WINNY does a selfie with the UNICORN)
WINNY: This photo will go viral. Do you know how to dance? We totally need to do a dance off.
(BOPPY wakes up and barks, scares UNICORN and UNICORN runs off)
WINNY: Why’d you do that?!
(BOPPY looks confused. PAUL wakes up. WINNY sits on the bench and gets on her phone. PAUL crawls back up onto the bench. BOPPY gets food back.

CAST OF CHARACTERS (2)
NOAH and OLIVIA
SCENE
(OLIVIA has a lemonade stand. NOAH is drinking a cup of lemonade)
NOAH: You make amazing lemonade.
OLIVIA: What?
NOAH: I just wanted to tell you that.
OLIVIA: Well... thanks.
NOAH: I try to say one nice thing each day. And today, it’s for you.
OLIVIA: That’s a good way to be. Try to keep it nice.
NOAH: My grandpa taught me that.
OLIVIA: He sounds like a good man.
NOAH: The best.
OLIVIA: Well, you’re lucky to have him. If only more people had someone like that. I don’t think I’ve had anyone say something nice to me in a long time.
NOAH: That’s just wrong. People should be nicer. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.
OLIVIA: R-e-s-p-e-c-t - but there ain’t none for me.
NOAH: I keep hoping if I do enough kind things it will catch on and grow. I keep picturing a better world around me and then I do little things to try and make it that way.
OLIVIA: What do you picture for our street here?
NOAH: Trees... lots of trees. And a cleaner park. And no more rent payments for the Williams family. I heard they were getting kicked out of their house.
OLIVIA: The mom lost her job and the dad isn’t around anymore.
NOAH: That’s sad. I wonder what they are doing to do?
OLIVIA: There’s no free rides in life. You owe me a dollar for that lemonade.
(NOAH tosses some coins on the counter)
NOAH: There you go.
OLIVIA: What’s this? Throwing some gold and silver my way?
NOAH: I gave you a Sacagawea dollar and two 50 cent pieces. I love old coins. My grandpa gives them to me. One more cup of lemonade, please.
OLIVIA: These are cool.
NOAH: Sometimes they’re worth more than their face value.
OLIVIA: Then why give them away?
NOAH: It’s no fun to keep it all to myself. I like to share.
OLIVIA: Everyone needs to share more. I think I had sharing beaten out of me. My family and I play Monopoly and it brings out the worst in me. I have to win it all and be in total control of the
board. I want all the money and love crushing my competition. But all of my brothers and sisters
are that way too. We have so many fights over that game that my dad finally set the board on
fire.
NOAH: On fire?
OLIVIA: He tossed it in the fireplace along with all the Monopoly money. All we had left were the little homes and hotels.
NOAH: What do you do with them?
OLIVIA: We use them like poker chips and play poker.
NOAH: No way.
OLIVIA: Then Dad burned the cards.
NOAH: That’s too funny.
OLIVIA: And some of it might be true.
NOAH: So what did you dream about doing with your life?
OLIVIA: Win Monopoly.
NOAH: Besides that.
OLIVIA: Win the lottery.
NOAH: You have a winning attitude.
OLIVIA: I want to be a winner. I’m just not sure what I want to win. Anything. But so far, nothing.
NOAH: You win every day you’re alive.
OLIVIA: I guess so.
NOAH: I win every time I have a great cup of lemonade like this one.
OLIVIA: I suppose that’s your way of telling me you want a refill?
NOAH: Maybe.
(OLIVIA pours him another cup)
NOAH (CONT.): So you have any dreams? Ones that don’t involve winning the lottery?
OLIVIA: You’re very chatty today, aren’t you?
NOAH: Your customers don’t usually hang out and talk?
OLIVIA: I don’t mind. I mean I see you around all the time, but usually you’re pretty quiet... sitting by a tree... or in a tree... and you always have that notebook. You doodle?
NOAH: I write stories.
OLIVIA: You write stories... on purpose? For fun?! Weird.
NOAH: I love writing. But today I feel like talking. I think I’m having writer’s block anyway. Talking might help.
OLIVIA: Imagine me, helping someone… write.
NOAH: What’s strange about that?
OLIVIA: I can’t really write. I get bad grades in English.
NOAH: Teachers don’t like my stories. They’re pretty crazy.
OLIVIA: It must be fun to have a talent. I’m not good at anything.
NOAH: You make the best lemonade.
OLIVIA: I guess.
NOAH: I bet you’re good at other things too... like Monopoly.
OLIVIA: If only the real world were as easy to figure out as Monopoly. There aren’t many good chance cards in the real world. And I don’t collect $200 every time I pass Go.
NOAH: But hopefully you don’t get to jail as often either.
OLIVIA: Nope. Just visiting.
NOAH: What if I told you one of those coins I paid you with was worth a lot of money?
(OLIVIA gathers them and looks at them)
OLIVIA: Really?
NOAH: What would you do with it?
OLIVIA: I think I’d help the William’s family keep their house, so their mom didn’t have to worry anymore. I wish people didn’t have to worry like that. Imagine losing your home. That must be so horrible.
(NOAH pulls out some more coins)
OLIVIA: What are you doing?
NOAH: I feel like granting some wishes tonight.
OLIVIA: You my fairy godmother or something?
NOAH: Fairy godfather.
OLIVIA: You’re serious?
(NOAH pulls out a specific coin)
NOAH: This is the one we need.
OLIVIA: Said in a mysterious voice... what’s special about this one, Fairy Godfather?
NOAH: It’s magic.
OLIVIA: Magic?
NOAH: When the time is right, make a wish... and maybe it will come true.
OLIVIA: What if I wish for world peace?
NOAH: Well, us Fairy Godfathers have limits... no wishing for more wishes, I can’t kill anyone, I can’t make anyone fall in love and I can’t do world peace...
OLIVIA: You’re not a very powerful Fairy Godfather.
NOAH: There’s so little magic left in the world. Except for this coin. Whenever I find a little bit of magic, I tuck it away for just the right occasion.
OLIVIA: Is that a nickel?
NOAH: A very special nickel. The 1913 Liberty Nickel.
OLIVIA: I thought 13 was an unlucky number.
NOAH: But 1913 is very lucky. It was the year of the very first crossword puzzle. And the prize for being the first person to solve that puzzle? A nickel. But not just any nickel. This nickel. The Liberty Nickel.
OLIVIA: The magic Liberty Nickel.
NOAH: Correct.
OLIVIA: And what is this magic nickel worth Fairy Godfather?
NOAH: More than a nickel. My grandpa gave it to me and said it was very special and to save it for something really important. I think the Williams are important enough, don’t you?
OLIVIA: So what do we do? Do we have to spend the magic nickel before midnight?
NOAH: How about I give you some more Sacajawea's and we’ll take the rest of the lemonade over to the Williams kids?
OLIVIA: What about the magic coin?
NOAH: Should we give it to Mrs. Williams?
OLIVIA: If we don’t help her, who will?
NOAH: I don’t know.
OLIVIA: You’re a good neighbor, Noah.
NOAH: Like my grandpa always says, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.” Well, I don’t think he made that up, but he said it a lot.
OLIVIA: I like that. Let’s take your magic coin and make things better.
(They take the lemonade and exit)
