Roland You saying I need a love potion?

Roland’s Guard 1No, no, just kidding!

Roland’s guard 3It was just a joke.

Roland’s Guard 2We gotta go. Just kidding, boss!

*Roland’s Guards rush out*

RolandOkay. All I gotta do is visualize. Visualize. The crown, sitting right on top...

*Sunny enters, knocking Roland, and peeks through the door at the ball, where Dawn is dancing*

DawnI wanna dance with somebody.

I wanna feel the beat with somebody.

Yeah, I wanna dance,

Hi!

With somebody who loves me.

Roland You okay?

Sunny Who, me? Okay? Yes, I am. No

Roland Hey, elf. I know just how you feel.

Sunny Yeah. Marianne slammed you pretty good.

*Roland pretends to cry*

You got it bad.

RolandI wish there was... a way to make her fall in love with me.

Sunny Yeah. Me, too.

Roland Like, I don't know, maybe something like a love potion.

Sunny Like a love potion!

RolandGreat idea!

Sunny It is a great idea. Except only the Sugar Plum Fairy can make the potion. She's locked away in the Dark Forest and nobody ever goes into the Dark Forest!

RolandBut I know you can.

SunnyBut why can’t you?

Roland Because I'm big! My armour, it's too shiny. I'd be spotted for sure. If only I was little, like you. And I could blend in. Like you.

SunnyI do blend in.

Roland Oh, it would have been perfect! Then we both, you know, me and you, both used the love potion.

SunnyI’ll do it!

RolandYou will?

SunnyIf you stop crying.

Roland What? Oh, I'm much better now.

Act 1 Scene 7

Out in the meadow, at the border between the Fairy Kingdom and the Dark Forest.

SunnyMy plan is perfect! All I gotta do is find a primrose flower, get to the castle where I'll find the Sugar Plum Fairy. She'll make her love potion with all the little primrose petals that I...

*finds all the primroses cut down*

Man, those goblins work fast!

Petal, petal, petal, petal, petal.

Think quick, think... Duh.

*picks up petal from earlier*

All right.

*enters Dark forrest*

Whispering Mushroom 1A small elf is in the dark forest.

Whispering Mushroom 2A small elf is in the dark forest.

*chain continues of mushrooms*

-

At Bog King’s castle. Stuff receives the message from a Whispering Mushroom.

StuffGot it!

Thang! Thang!

*Whispers to Thang*

ThangWhat does it mean?

Bog KingI’m listening.

Stuff News from the mushrooms, sire. You can tell him.

ThangYou tell him.

Stuff He likes you.

Thang Really?

Bog KingNow I'm waiting!

ThangA tall chef is into shark storage!

Bog KingWhat?

Thang Okay, you know how we sometimes have a shark, but no place to store it? Well, a very tall chef has that very same problem. That doesn't make any sense.

Bog KingI'll deal with it!

Thang *Stuff moves and coughs*

What?

*gets knocked by Bog King as he leaves for the Whispering Mushrooms*

Stuff That was close.

Bog KingA small elf is in the Dark Forest! Well, if he's looking for trouble... he's come to the right place.

Yeah.

If he's looking for trouble,

Just take a look at this face.

Because I'm evil.

My middle name is misery.

Yes, I'm evil.

So don't you mess around with me.

Act 1 Scene 8

In the middle of the Dark Forest, Sunny is traveling towards the castle.

Sunny Don't worry about a thing.

'Cause every little thing is gonna be...

Woke up this morning,

I hope I woke up this morning

Three goblins

Sayin' I'm going to kill you.

*rope is tied to rock by the Imp*

Okay, you got me!

Just kill me now. Make it quick.

The Imp*roaring at Sunny then chuckles*

Sunny*spots Imp*

Hey! Hey, wait a minute.

Did you tie my...

The Imp*knocks Sunny and giggles*

SunnyWho are you?

*Gets up and unties rope, putting it back in bag. The Imp takes the primrose petal*

Okay, look, you little thing, I'm a guy who usually enjoys a good joke, even at my own expense.

But right now, I'm not in a "ha-ha" frame of mind. I'm in an "Ah!" frame of mind.

The Imp*giggling and squeeking while teasing Sunny with primrose petal*

Sunny*snatches back primrose petal*

I am on a very serious mission!

I really gotta find the Sugar Plum Fairy, the maker of the all-powerful love potion, and you're holding me back.

*The Imp beckons Sunny to follow it*

You know where she is?

What?

*the Imp beckons Sunny over a ledge*

Okay. Wait a minute. You ain't gonna trick me again, are you?

The Imp*Shakes head and jumps out of sight after crossing its heart*

SunnyGood. Because I'm an elf, and we're very trusting creatures.

So here's me, trusting you.

*climbs down rope after the Imp*

Act 1 Scene 9

Back in the Fairy Kingdom, Marianne is training blindfolded with her Maids. The Fairy King enters.

Fairy KingMarianne!

MarianneKinda busy.

*Is hit by one of her Maids*

I deserved that one.

Fairy KingThe Elves' Spring Dance is starting soon. I want you...

MarianneAfter the last dance? You kidding me?

Fairy KingOh, Marianne. You're... You're a unique girl. And Roland may have a few flaws...

MarianneUnderstatement.

Fairy KingBut he still loves you.

MarianneHe loves the crown.

Fairy KingBut…

MarianneAnd his hair. Not in that order.

Fairy KingBut, but...But if not Roland, then there has to be someone else!

MarianneNo, there doesn’t.

Fairy KingMaybe if you got out more often.

MarianneLet it go, Dad.

Fairy KingYou'll be a stronger ruler with a king at your side.

MarianneI’m stronger alone.

Fairy KingI don't want you to be alone.

Marianne*takes off blindfold and goes over to her father*

Dad, I promise if I find a guy out there who takes my hand and looks me in the eye and I don't want to hit him...I'll consider it. But that guy doesn't exist.

Fairy KingThen go to the dance

to help me keep an eye on that...

flirtatious sister of yours.

*Marianne reluctantly agrees*

That's my girl!

Act 1 Scene 10

In the Dark Forest. Sunny is following the Imp while they hide from Goblins.

Bog KingDid you find him?

GoblinI thought I heard something.

Bog KingIf you see him, kill him.

Sunny*The Imp beckons him to go through a small space*

I won't fit.

*Imp continues. Sunny backs in*

Come on.

*Imp refuses to follow, indicating the Sugar Plum fairy is frightening*

She's that scary?

*Imp pushes him in. Sunny ends up in the dungeons*

-

Hello?

Are you the Sugar Plum Fairy?

I expected something more... purple.

Hello?

*waves primrose petal*

Sugar Plum FairyA primrose?

SunnyIt is! I brought it so you can... so you can make... the love potion.

Sugar Plum FairyHow do you think I got in here?

SunnyListen, my name is Sunny.

Sugar Plum FairyThe Bog King won't listen to me about what happened on that fateful day. And I've been locked away for so long.

Sunny"That fateful day"?

Sugar Plum FairyYou were listening! So I'll do it.

SunnyYes!

Sugar Plum FairyIf... you promise to set me free!

SunnyWhat?

Sugar Plum FairyShake on it? You can reach in. I can't reach out.

*Sunny reaches in and his hand shrinks, making him yell*

You should see your face! Oh, wait. I can show you!

*shows Sunny’s yelling face, causing him to yell again*

Another good one! Wanna see?
