Elf 3 (Jingle) - Yeah, but this one is different!


Elf 1 (Spirit) - What do you mean?


Elf 3 (Jingle) - *ominous voice* Legend has it that a dark figure going by the name of Evil Dude(tte) swept over the Santa and Elf kingdom and ripped it from the heart of Christmas magic. Santa battled with Evil Dude(tte) and banished him to a faraway land. Unfortunately, Evil Dude(tte) had one last curse before he left, Santa would never be able to stop him again. Santa banished him for a hundred years, and tonight is the hundredth year!


Elf 2 (Wish) - *scared* So, so, he may come tonight?!

Techie turns on lights and throws a map (paper) into the air.


MAP CONTAINS TWO PLACES


Treacherous Trees


Lunatic Lights


Elf 1 (Spirit) - It looks like we have to go through Treacherous Trees and LUNATIC LIGHTS?! What is this? Urgh. This is the only way we can get to Evil Dude(tte)’s hidden HQ.


Elf 2 (Wish) - Spirit, I don’t care! I’m going to save Santa, NO MATTER WHAT!


Elf 3 (Jingle) - YEAH!


Elf 1 (Spirit) - LET’S DO IT!

Techie starts setting up trees everywhere.


Elf 1 (Spirit) - Wait, which way from here?


Elf 3 (Jingle) - The map just has a big question mark on it.


Elf 2 (Wish) - Oh no! Are we lost?!


Elf 1 (Spirit) - *sigh*, I believe so.

Scene 3 - In Lunatic Lights. Giant appears.


Elf 2 (Wish) - Come on! We have to save Santa!


Witch (Celeste) - Okey Dokey!


Elf 1 (Spirit) - How do we plan to battle Evil Dude(tte)? We are almost at his HQ.


Elf 3 (Jingle) - Hmmm…..*when no one watches, he throws some marbles on the floor*.


Witch (Celeste) - Maybe we could—*trips on the marbles and wand slips out*. OUCH!


Elf 1 (Spirit) - OMG! Are you okay?


Elf 2 (Wish) - Where does it hurt?


Elf 3 (Jingle) - *picks up wand and starts laughing*


Elf 1 (Spirit) - Jingle! What are you doing?!

Techie comes on and battles the witch and two elves with jump ropes(lights). Giant looks like a tree and is battling with the elves and witch.


Elf 3 (Jingle) - *walks out of the scene and turns off the lights* He cues the fighting sounds.


Techie turns lights back on and the elves are stomping on the jump ropes.


Giant - OWWWW! That hurt! Are you trying to MAIM ME??!!


Elf 1 (Spirit) - AAAH! Where did you come from?!


Witch (Celeste) - WHO ARE YOU!?


Giant - *cries* First, you try to maim me and now, you question my EXISTENCE! YOU ARE HORRIBLE!


Elf 2 (Wish) - Whatever? What is your name?


Giant - I’m the Christmas Giant and now because Santa has been stolen, it has angered my happy spirit. Move aside, let’s all go and rescue Mr. Santa Claus from Evil Dudette.


Elf 1 (Spirit) - *shrugs* Eh, you’re big. Come along. We could use it.

Elf 2 (Wish) - Wait….what is that? A BLACK CHAIR?!


Evil Dude(tte) - *turns around and is petting a stuffed animal* Well, well, well. Look who’s here. Come to save Santa? *baby voice*.


Christmas Giant - *emotional* You have stolen my only reason to live!! How could you?!


Evil Dude(tte) - Yes! You don’t need to live anymore.


Witch (Celeste) - UGH! Give us back Santa or else! 


Evil Dudette - Or else what?


Elf 1 (Spirit) - Or else you get COAL for CHRISTMAS!


Evil Dude(tte) - Like I haven’t gotten it in the past years. Besides, there won’t be a Christmas anyway. It’s already 11:30. I can’t wait to send Santa to SPACE!


Elf 1 (Spirit) - WHAT?!!

At one point, Elf 1 (Spirit) shoves Evil Dude(tte) down and locks Elf 3 (Jingle) ‘s arms behind his back. Elf 2 (Wish) grabs the wand from his hand and throws it to Witch (Celeste). Christmas Giant jumps around, dancing, and looks like he knows what he’s doing.


Techie cues spell sound effects. Lights turn off. 


Christmas Giant - Good job, guys! We all did it!


Witch (Celeste) - You didn’t even lift a finger. You just pranced around the room. Do you even KNOW how to fight?

Elf 2 (Wish) - So, what do you have to say for yourself? HUH?!


Evil Dude(tte) - I’m sorry! I just don’t like Christmas because……


Techie shows the flashback video.


VIDEO - Evil Dude(tte) was a nice boy, but no one liked him. On Christmas, no one gave him a present. HE GOT ANGRY!


Christmas Giant - Oh my gosh! A world full of hate and love. You are like a phoenix rising from the ashes the wrong way. How hard it must have been for you. I too have experienced—


Everyone turns their heads to look at the Giant *annoyed* - SHUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Witch (Celeste) - *sighs* I’m sorry!


Elf 1 (Spirit) - I think we’ll forgive you this one time.


Elf 2 (Wish) - Of course!


Evil Dude(tte) - Really? THANK YOU! *Elf 3 (Jingle) looks sad* Oh! Please forgive Jingle too! I threatened him by saying no one would ever love him again if he didn’t help me.

At the shelter in New York city, there was a cat. She didn’t have a name because, well she was a stray. You see, this cat was very kind and quiet. One day a family came and bought the cat. She was a very happy. Though inside Cutip(that is what the family named her), she was like this family doesn’t exactly know me..hehe! She was very naughty. One day she was plotting a prank on the family. She decided to hide and not respond to the family when they called her. The next day she was ready. When someone called Cutip, Cutip didn’t answer. The family searched everywhere but couldn’t find the cat. Then they asked their neighbors and said "Can you give me a tip in finding Cutip?" They went on bikes and went around the neighborhood and asked everyone to search. They searched but still could not find Cutip. Finally, the whole neighborhood was searching for the cat and Cutip was enjoying seeing all the attention she was getting. There were Cutip’s pictures on lost posters, people were ...

Why The Pencil Hates The Pen

  Everyone knows a pencil hates a pen. Why? This story will help you understand. It all starts with mistakes. Pencil Point Of View With Amulya Kuntamukkala. “I was promised popcorn, thank you.” Pencil said. “So why aren’t you friends with a pen?” “*frowny face* Ugh simple, a pencil should be used because it can erase all the stains and pencils are better than puny pens.”  “Okay *jotting it all down on the notebook* Anything else you’d like to tell me?” “Tell you? I was just getting started!” “Ooh this is gonna be juicy in the newspaper!” “It's an inexpensive product, unlike pens! They come in different colors and designs and pens come in boring colors that are well boring! You can erase it from walls and pens just stay there forever no matter how much you try! We don’t run out of ink unlike a pen!” “Wow...you seem to really hate pens. Have you got more?” “Of course I do! Pens can easily break, they smear all the time and they always run out of ink like I previously mentioned. ...

The surprise

The Surprise Once upon a time there was a witch named Gritch. She often was very lonely. She didn’t even have a cat, which most witches do. So, she spent all her time baking, studying and to say she had a green hand (she is a plant grower). One thing said about her is she was only 17 years old! She never went outside because when her father and mother were going on a world trip and then someone shot them. After that that it was miserable. A few years after that incident, Anneliese Victoria Katharine moved into the neighborhood. Gritch and Anneliese became quick friends so I suppose I should tell you about how Gritch and Anneliese became friends so just turn the page and keep on reading.  The Surprise  Once upon a time in a far land a witch named Gritch was planning to make purple fly stew and she was very mean. People called her ugly and gross. Just the opposite. Gritch was very kind and friendly and was vegetarian but she didn’t have a friend, one tiny...

The Animal Disco Party

The Animal Disco Party Once Crow was sitting on a pole looking down at the street saying to himself “Why are not many cars coming down the street”? Then on a street nearby he heard loud music, disco music. He immediately flew down the street without noticing the sign. It read "Only Humans Allowed" So when he got in, he got kicked out, which made him angry because they didn't allow animals. He wanted to teach the humans a lesson. So he decided to make his own disco party so as he was going home he saw a girl writing notes. He snatched them and read them that said Dear Friend please come to my house 8 pm tomorrow. I am hosting a surprise and please bring any kind of food too! Perfect, thought Crow. He first went to Wood Stork’s place to give him the letter. When he knocked on the door Wood Stork answered and took the letter. Next, he went to Squirrel's place to give her the letter. He knocked on the tree silently and mailed the letter in her mailbox...

Mango vs Banana

Mango Side Mango is a very nutritious fruit. It is used in many ways. Why you should eat Mango is because it helps with your digestion system in your body. It adds a glow to the skin and contains a lot of Vitamin C and Vitamin A. Mango is used in many ways to make mango lassi, mango cake, ice cream, etc.  Mangos give a lot of magnesium and potassium and fiber and antioxidants. Banana Side Bananas give a lot of Vitamin C, fiber, potassium and antioxidants and phytonutrients. We can use Bananas in many ways like Banana Bread, ice cream, banana chips, banana pancakes, etc. Surely everyone’s favorite is banana split, it’s a yummy ice cream. Mango split doesn’t sound as good in my opinion. Bananas contain a lot of nutrients and they can help with weight loss. Bananas help you feel full. It also provides Vitamin A. So what is your favorite fruit? Mango or Banana?
