It's a typical day in Care-A-Lot for the lovely, happy, joyful Care Bears.
All Bears have absurdly high voices and epitomise sunshine and happiness. Sunshine Bear: Good Morning Laugh-a-lot! Laugh-a-lot: Good Morning Sunshine Bear! Sunshine Bear: Isn't it just! The Sun is in the sky smiling down on us, the clouds are fluffy and there are all my friends! Sleepy Bear: *Yawn* What a wonderful, happy morning! I feel so full of joy and wonder! Fun Bear: *Skips on stage* Hi Care Bears! I think today would be a great day for a picnic!
Rainbow Bear: I agree! Take me too!
Fun Bear: Ok! But where to go?
Sunshine Bear: How about the mystical, amazing waterfalls of joy, happiness and fun?
Laugh-a-lot: Yeah! With the pools of happy!
Sleepy Bear: Oh boy! Let's get going!
Bears prance across stage.
Fun Bear: We're here everyone!
All Bears: Yay! Sunshine Bear: But oh no! The pools of happy and the base of the waterfall of delight and happiness are drying up. Rainbow Happy Bear: This is really really bad! All the happiness in the world is draining away! The bears begin forming a semicircle and are all chittering in worry. Sleepy Bear: What can we do? Laugh-a-lot: I don't know! Sunshine Bear: Me neither! Oh how bad! Rainbow Bear: *Starts softly crying* I don't want to not be happy... Fun Bear: *Disturbing, low voice* THE TIME HAS COME. Red lighting, darker stage. The bears chant. The semi-circle splits in half to reveal a small, now very very scared Care Bear that was standing behind it. They begin to lift the small bear.
Tiny Cute Bear: Wha-wha-huh-... The chanting quickens. One of the bears rips out the still beating (human) heart of the tiny bear and holds it aloft! Fun Bear: *Disturbing, low voice* IT IS DONE.
The lighting returns to normal. All Bears: *In high voice* Yay!
Sleepy Bear: The waters are filling with happiness again! Sunshine Bear: And joy! Yay! Laugh-a-lot: The world will be happy again! Bears cavort gleefully. Loving bear enters from offstage.
Loving Bear: Oh no... we don't have any bread for the sandwiches of love-love, joy and hapiness!
Fun Bear: *Disturbing, low voice* ... THE TIME HAS COME. The semi circle begins to split revealing another small care bear. Lights down. |
