SCENE 3
(Nugget, Scrambles and Faith enter, obviously tired. They all sit
down to rest.)
FAITH: Hey, where are Buttercup and Benedict?
NUGGET: They fell behind, but they'll be here.
SCRAMBLES: Which will come first, the chicken or the egg?
(Benedict appears, followed by Buttercup.)
NUGGET: Hmm, I don't know why people have been wondering about
that for so long.
(Benedict leans over and mumbles to Buttercup.)
BUTTERCUP: Benedict wants to know where we are!
(Faith notices a sign on a tree.)
FAITH: That sign says we're at the Pit of Fear!
(Scrambles points to a character entering from opposite stage.)
SCRAMBLES: It's working … we're doomed.
BOOKWORM: I read somewhere that when you're scared, you should just put
on a happy face!
(At this moment, a happy-face emoji dances in from opposite stage,
leaping with joy.)
BUTTERCUP: Are you kidding me? Look … there's an actual big, yellow,
happy face.
NUGGET: You can't put a happy face on the Pit of Fear.
BOOKWORM: I'm afraid not every book I consume is a winner.
SCRAMBLES: That smiley-face thing is actually freaking me out a little.
FAITH: You're right. (to Emoji) I'm sorry, Mr. Emoji, you're really not
what we need here. Thanks for stopping by my dream, though.
(Mr. Emoji turns around, and on the reverse side is a sad face. He
slowly walks out.)
