Scene 4
SETTING in a
workshop near the center spotlight.
AT RISE they are escaping from the bits
and the Supreme Technocrat when they find a workshop. They enter and they start
to look at all the technological and different things that are there.
Ginny: Willie! We have to return home as soon as we can!
Willie: Yes,
that’s true! But I don’t know, I will get crazy..
Shannon: Well, I propose to look at all these electronic things
that are in this workshop. Maybe, some of them can be useful to return home.
Mike: Shannon is right! Come on, look at all those things.
Peter: I think you are wrong guys, these are all old things.
There are not useful at all.
Shannon: Shut up and listen to me Peter! Start looking for
something please.
Ginny: Stop fighting! Oh my god! I will kill both of you!
Willie: Relax
Ginny! They are so stupid! Let’s look for a way to return home. (He starts walking and finds something)Hey
guys, look at this! (He points out and
shows a creased and dirty box covered in dust)
Ginny: What is this Willie?
Shannon (Interrupting):
It’s a hoover type 704 AZ so when you search and choose the world where you
want to go, then, you teleport there.
All:
How did you know it?
Shannon: (Pointing to
the wall behind them) Because I read the instructions in
the wall and I have studied the different models of hoovers at the Saint
Isidrus Technological University.
All:
Ok, great job, Shannon!
Mike: You will tell us about the university later, you super
intelligent Shannon.
Peter: I don´t think it is such a great
university.
Ginny: Ok, let’s move on. W e don´t have time.
Willie: We will separate to do the different tasks. Mike and
Peter will fix the wires inside the machine, Ginny and I will try to see how it
works.
Shannon: And I? What am I supposed to do?
Mike: Go and cook us some cupcakes and wash the dishes!
Shannon: Oh you are so funny!
Willie: Stop fighting because we have to return home! Shannon,
you will go and get the instructions so you can tell us if we are doing our
work correctly.
Shannon: Mike told me I sould cook and wash dishes! Who is in
charge here!
All (Laughing):
You are!
Ginny: Stop! We don’t have enough time, let’s move on! (To Willie) Do you know where is the
keyboard to write the place where we want to go?
Willie: It’s there in- (Shannon
interrupts)
Shannon: It´s on the wall near the instructions.
Mike: Thank you, Miss Super Brain (The rest starts to laugh and Shannon looks very annoyed)
Ginny: All right, thank you Shannon. (Looking around) Are we all ready?
All:
It´s ready, let’s use it!
Ginny: Ok. Mike, Shannon and Peter go first.
Willie (Blushing):
Ok, I agree with that.
Ginny: I am so sorry, Willie, I didn´t mean to take your
place!
Mike: Willie and Ginny are in love!
Willie: And you love Super Brain Shannon!
Peter: If you keep on fighting we
will all die at Technos!
Willie: That’s right, let’s hurry up! I will go first,
Shannon second, and Peter third.
All:
Ok, let’s go!
Willie: I will hold the machine and you can leave. Good luck
guys! (Shaking hand with the others)
Ginny: Take care of yourself! I will stay with Willie (She blushes)
Mike: This is real love! Ginny seems to be Juliet and
Willie is her Romeo! (Shannon and Peter
laugh and the three leave. (The machine sucks them in and they disappear)
Willie: Hey Ginny!
Look! The machine seems to be on fire!
Ginny: Oh, God! Let
us hope our friends are ok.
Willie (Concerned):
If they died I hope they didn’t suffer.
Ginny: You shouldn’t be so negative. I am sure they are ok.
Willie: Oh, Ginny, you are so optimistic and cute.
Ginny (Changing the subject): But, Willie, how are we supposed to return home?
Willie: I don´t know. We will have to see what the problem
is. I will study the machine.
Ginny: Then, I will go around this workshop and try to find
something useful so as to repair it. (The
machine is full of smoke) Take care, Willie, try not to hurt yourself.
Willie: Be careful! (Ginny
and Willie blush. Suddenly Ginny trips and Willie holds her so as to avoid her
falling down. Willie kisses Ginny and she kisses him back.)
Ginny: I think we should continue working. (Willies starts to repair the machine and
Ginny helps him giving him the tools he needs).
Willie: We have finished! I am sure the machine is going to
work.
Ginny: Of course, Willie, I’m sure it’s going to work!
Willie: Ginny stand on the suction platform.
Ginny: I don’t want to leave you here alone.
Willie: Do not fear, Ginny, I will use a stick so as to press
the “on” button. But before we leave this place I would like to say something
to you. (Hesitating) I love you. (They hug each other and, then, they stand
on the platform of the machine that absolves them. Lights go off and in a
minute, stage lights come up full. It is Willie’s house and the five friends
stand in the center of the stage)
All:
We are all back! Great! They have arrived!
Mike: I wonder what happened when we left Ginny and Willie
alone.
Ginny (Reddening):
Nothing interesting!
Mother (Coming in):
Where were you? And why are you fighting? My God! Look at you! Your clothes are
dirty and ruined! Go to sleep and do not leave your room!
Willie: But mother…
Mother: Stop it and don’t argue with me! The five of you go
to the bathroom, wash yourselves and go to sleep!
Peter (To MIKE): Poor Willie, her mother is a monster!
Mike: You never met mine! (The stage lights go off. A new
kind of stage light comes up showing that it is morning)
Willie (Entering): I really had a bad dream! (Entering Ginny, Peter and Mike)
Willie (To his friends):
I had a terrible nightmare.
Shannon (Entering):
My nightmare was worst!
Ginny: Impossible! I also had a nightmare. Did you?
Peter and Mike: Did
we all have nightmares?
Willie: I dreamed that Ginny and I went to the city of
Technos and we found Mike, Peter and Shannon over there. A group of bytes,
bits, and commanders…
Peter (Interrupting Willie): Are you joking? I had the same dream! I hate this
life! Everything is always the same boring thing!
Ginny: I can’t believe it! I had the same dream too!
Shannon: Everybody is copying my dream! You are doing it on
purpose? Is some kind of something?
Mike: We all had the same nightmare, Shannon! (To Shannon) Do you think that we are
all part of your big brain?
Willie: If we all had the same nightmare, then, it was true
and it really happened.
Ginny: So we have to tell everyone about it because the world
may be in danger.
Mike: You are right. It’s an alien threat and we are the
Avengers!
Shannon: We should trust the scientists because they are
better than the politicians. They are in search of the truth.
Mike: Finally you had a good idea!
Peter: Let’s go to see the
scientists before the Supreme Technocrat brainwashes us! (They
leave. The lights go off and when they
come back the friends are at the scientific meeting facing the scientists. The
scientists are sitting at a rectangular table facing the children.)
Professor Adolf Vader (Greeting
them): What have you come to tell
us, children?
Willie: Sir, we came to tell you about another universe that
we have discovered.
Professor Adolf Vader: Speak using scientific vocabulary because we do not
understand you!
Professor Victoria Chippie (Eating a portion of cheesecake): Don’t be so rude! They don’t know how to speak like
we do. They are just kids.
Shannon: I know a lot about science!
Professor Vader: Silence! You are just a kid…
Ginny: They are not listening to us.
Peter: Adults never listen to
children!
Professor Victoria Chippie (Finishing the cake): I am hungry! Where is my lemon-pie? I want another piece of cake…
Willie: Let’s go back home because they are not paying
attention to us (The friends start to
leave the office and Mike whispers to the others)
Professor Victoria Chippie (to Professor Vader): I think you ate my lemon-pie.
Mike (To Ginny, Willie, Shannon and Peter): I stole the lemon-pie! Let’s run! (They leave the scene)
