SETTING: A park with a sparkling red bench.
(Cinderella enters.)
Cinderella:
Oh! What a nice red bench! I think I'll sit! I'm very tired from cleaning all day. And these glass slippers are hurting my feet! I sure could use a foot massage. Where's a prince when you need one?
(Cinderella sits on the bench as Goldilocks enters.)
Goldilocks:
(With mouth full.) Mmm. This porridge is just right. Not too hot, not too cold. JUST right. Hits the spot.
(Goldilocks swallows porridge. She then sees Cinderella.) Whatcha doin'?
Cinderella:
Sitting on the red bench.
Goldilocks:
Can I join ya?
Cinderella:
Sure.
(Goldilocks sits down, the Three Bears enter, staggered entrances with Papa and Mama together with Baby lagging behind.)
Papa Bear:
I sure am hungry. I couldn't eat my porridge because SOMEONE ate out of it.
Mama Bear:
Me, too, dear. But at least our chairs weren't broken like Baby Bear's. Baby Bear? Baby Bear!
Baby Bear:
(Baby Bear enters and runs up to parents.) I'm here! I just was so tired because I missed my nap.
Papa Bear:
(Noticing everyone sitting on red bench.) Well, this looks like a good place to sit. Whatcha' doin'?
Goldilocks and Cinderella:
Sittin' on the red bench.
Mama Bear:
May we join?
Goldilocks and Cinderella:
Sure ya can!
(Three Bears sit down.)
Papa Bear (To Goldilocks):
Hey, where'd you get that porridge?
Baby Bear:
That looks like MY bowl!
Goldilocks:
(Baby Bear tries to take his bowl back, but Goldilocks yanks it away from him. She attempts to hide porridge.) THAT porridge? Umm...(talking too quickly) I got it from The Burger King...you know, he's married to, um...to the Dairy Queen! And...and they live with her Papa, Gino! And they all live in a great big White Castle in...in Candyland! Oh, it's so beautiful there! They've got ice cream mountains and gumdrop trees and...
Mama Bear:
(Trying to smooth things out, glaring at Baby Bear.) That's alright, we're sorry we asked.
(Goldilocks acts relieved and wipes her brow.) (Wolf enters.)
Wolf:
I'm exhausted from blowing those pig houses down. Whew! And I never knew that pigs were smart enough to build brick houses. What's next?
(Wolf notices everyone sitting on bench.) Hey! Whatcha doin'?
All:
Sittin' on the red bench.
Wolf:
Can I join you?
All:
Sure!
(Wolf sits down, relieved to have a break. Fairy Godmother enters with her magic wand.)
Fairy Godmother:
What on earth are you all doing?
All:
Sitting on the red bench.
Fairy Godmother:
Well, well, my dears, that isn't just any red bench. That's a MAGIC bench.
All:
Magic bench? Who does she think she is? There's no such thing as a magic bench. This is ridiculous.
Fairy Godmother:
Why do people always doubt my powers? Let's try this again. AHEM! So, what ARE you all doing?
All:
Sitting on the RED bench!
Fairy Godmother:
Do you mean the one that just disappeared?
(Fairy Godmother points her magic wand. POOF! The bench disappears. Everyone falls.)
All:
Ooof!
(The bench reappears in a different location.)
Fairy Godmother:
(Sitting on the bench.) Ah, that's better.
