DISCLAIMER: Master! You promised me eternal life! But you're giving it to the pretty woman!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(BIG fireworks explode into the sky. "The Ketchup Song" plays, while everyone is partying! Evan too. He's doing the silly Frodo jig (hey, don't tell me YOU don't think it's wierd!) Kurt (wearing his image inducer) is throwing shy glances at Amanda dancing. Storm is welcoming her guests.)
STORM: Hello, hello. Blobby Dukes, lovely to see you. Welcome, welcome.
BACKSTAGE LANCE: Who's watching the Bulbas?
BACKSTAGE SCOTT: Guess three times. Hey! Get off my glasses!
(A big, white strawberry cake passes by.)
(Evan lands next to Kurt.)
EVAN: Come on Kurt. Ask Amanda for a dance.
(Amanda is doing the Macarena.)
KURT: I... I think I'll just have another Pepsi.
EVAN: (Laughing) Oh, no, you don't!
(Evan pushes Kurt into Amanda, so they start dancing. Gandalf sends up another rocket. Storm is telling the little hobbitkids about her wild adventures.)
STORM: So there I was, at the mercy of three monstrous Sentinels. And they were all arguing among themselves how they were going to kill us. Whether it be turned on a spit, or to sit on us one by one, squash us to jelly.. They spent so much time arguing abouy the withertos and whyfors that the rains first drops started falling over the top of the trees..... CREEK! And turned them all to rust!
(Gandalf picks fireworks from a wagon, then he wheels off to fire them.)
(Pyro is peeking out from behind the wagon, and hits the tent. Todd crawls out of it.)
PYRO: (Staring) Where's Gambit?
TODD: At the psychiatrist, yo. I got the part instead.
PANICKED BOOMING VOICE FROM ABOVE: Did he say which psychiatrist?
TODD: He mentioned some wierd name.....maybe it was Lectes?
EVEN MORE PANICKED BOOMING VOICE FROM ABOVE: OH MY GOD! I HOPE I GET THERE IN TIME!
TODD: What was that all about?
PYRO: Ain't got the slightest idea, mate. (Shrugs.) Maybe we should continue this scene?
TODD: Okey.
(Todd hops into the firework cart and picks up a rocket.)
PYRO: No, NO! The big one! Big one!
(Todd picks up a big rocket shaped like a dragon.)
PYRO: YEAH!
(Todd takes off with the rocket (not literally), while Pyro stares dreamily at the rest of the fireworks for a while, before Todd drags him away.)
(Pyro and Todd are inside a tent. Todd lights the rocket.)
TODD: Done!
PYRO: You're supposed to stick it in the ground, mate! (Pushes the rocket on Todd.)
TODD: It is in the ground! (Pushes it back.)
PYRO: Outside! (Forth)
TODD: Yo, this was your idea! (Back)
(The rocket is obviously sick of getting pushed around, and takes off, taking the tent with it. It also leaves Todd and Pyro lying on the ground with black faces.
Everyone else admires the rocket. Until it explodes. Then it turns into a dragon and comes down to attack them.)
EVAN: Auntie O! Watch out for the dragon!
STORM: Nonsense. There hasn't been a dragon in these part for a thousand years.
(Evan drags Storm down, just as the dragon passes right over their heads and continues over the river, where it explodes.)
ALL NON-MUTANT HOBBITS: Oooo… Pretty colors…
PYRO: That was brilliant!
TODD: Let's get another one!
(Xavier wheels up behind and grabs their ears.)
TODD & PYRO: Youch!
XAVIER: St. John Allerdyce, and... Todd Tolensky? This was totally unexpected!
(Todd and Pyro are doing the dishes under Xavier's supervision.)
TODD: WHY did it have to be with SOAP?
ALL NON-MUTANT HOBBITS: Speech, Ororororo..Err.....Speech!
EVAN: Speech!
(Storm goes up on a barrel. Everyone watches her.)
STORM: My dear Danielses and Drakes (applause), Tolenskys and Allerdyces (more applause), Smiths (more), Crisps (applause), Madroxes (more), DaCostas (applause) and Dukeses!
BLOB(Sitting on a half-crushed chair): Dukesees!
(Everyone laughs.)
STORM: Today is my 111th birthday!
(Everyone applauds.)
SUNSPOT: Happy birthday!
STORM: But alas, eleventyone years is far too short time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
EVERYONE: Hunh?
(Xavier and Evan smiles.)
STORM: I.....
(Evans smile fades.)
STORM: (With one hand in her pocket) I have things to do.
(Everyone is now staring at her, and Xavier looks worried.)
STORM: (Whispering) I've put this off far to long. (Loud) I regret to announce that this is the end! I'm going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell.
(Evan looks at her.)
STORM: (Whispering) Good bye.
(Storm vanishes.)
EVERYONE: Woow! (Blob falls off his chair and lands on Tabitha.)
