KAHUNA: And so we will. Captain Shubie, gather everyone together! And
Joe, I am promoting you to life guard. You will direct the
operation. (looking about) Now where is that girl who sells the
oddly-contained water?
COCO: (rushing up) Coco's Walkin' Waterin' Hole at your service,
your Kahuna-ship!
KAHUNA: Good. Coco, you will set-up the food and water stations. You'll
need to help a lot of people once the storm has passed.
JOE: You picked the right girl for that job, sir!
COCO: I knew God had a plan for me!
JOE: (calling to the assembled group before him) Attention everyone!
It's time to stock up and hunker down. Captain Shubie, sound
the alarm!
SFX: "The Storm"
SPINNER: And so the storm descended on the once-sunny beach. But with
Joe giving directions, they knew they'd find their way to safety.
COCO: (yelling to Joe) Joe! Do you think we're going to make it?!
JOE: (yelling back down) My dad always said God is closest when the
hour is darkest!
COCO: Then God must be right here beside us!
JOE: That's His promise—and it's a keeper!
(With a big crash of lightning, the siren stops and the storm kicks
into full force: wind, thunder, some lightning. Everyone on stage
responds by being blown about, crying out with "woooahhhh's"
etc. It builds to a peak, then resolves.)
SPINNER: The storm had ended, and as the sun rose, so did everyone's
hope. (music begins to "I Know My God Is Near") And they
slowly began to rebuild their community—not on shifting sand,
but this time, on solid rock.
