Chapter 8: X mas Song (War is over)
Luna: So, you are just going to keep us against our will?
Lotso: Well, against your will, darling. Lucky on the other hand knows exactly why I'm doing this. He wants to be here.
Luna: Why don't you let Lucky decide what Lucky wants!
Lotso: Why don't you?
Lucky: Why don't both of you stop talking about me as if I'm not here… (whispers) Luna, right now we don't have many options let's just do what he says until we figure out how to get out of this ( to Lotso) What do you want us to do?
Lotso: Actually, it's something your girlfriend can do…
Luna: That is sick!
Lotso: What? not that! I'm made for children for god's sake! I need you to send a message to some dolls for me. ( goes over to the desk, takes out a piece of paper, and starts to write. He takes the note and hands it to Luna) Can you do that?
Luna: If it means you don't harm either Lucky or I… I'll do it.
(Luna flies out the open window)
(The next morning at the hotel.)
President: Well, the meeting is for this afternoon. We better get going if we want to get there on time.
Laura: Right. You heard the man, guys. Let's get ready.
(Laura and Andy pack. The toys get themselves into the suitcases and then Laura and Andy zip the luggage and they head out. Everything seemed to go very smoothly through security and to the gate and even getting on the plane. After they took off)
Narrator: Once, on the plane I started getting the strangest feeling of Déjà vu.
Voice: Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen , will the passenger in 26B please report to the cockpit immediately!
Laura : (Laura looks at Andy sitting next to her nervously) Andy, what's your seat number?
Andy: 26A
Laura: (looks at her seat number) O, my god! It's my dream.
Andy: What?
Laura: It's my dream about the Barbie dolls hi jacking the plane.
Andy: I'm sure your dream is not coming true, Laura.
Laura: Well, then why does the captain want to see me?
Voice: Now, Miss Benson!
Laura: And how does the captain know my name?
(Laura gets up and walks towards the cockpit. She opens the cockpit door. She enters the cockpit)
Laura: You wanted to see me, Captain?
Voice: As a matter of fact. I did.
(the figure in the captain's chair turns around)
Laura: Ballerina Barbie! ( she notices that the Barbie is missing a leg) I had a feeling it was you.
Ballerina: Really? Why was that?
Laura: I had a dream about this. You are my other Barbies hi jacked this plane and were going to send us all straight to hell.
Ballerina: No fair. You spoiled the surprise.
(Laura opens the cockpit door and thousands of Barbies pop out from different hiding places holding weapons.)
Ballerina: I'm sure you remember the girls, Laura.
Laura: All my old Barbies. All of them. Even the Skipper's and the Courtney's.
Ballerina: That's right.
Laura: The My size one isn't here.
(Ballerina whistles and My Size Barbie pops up in front of the door)
Ballerina: You were saying?
Laura: I guess you are all here… so I suppose you guys are doing this for Lotso.
Ballerina:Well it's partly for him but mostly for us.
Laura: You are nothing but vicious bitches! I can't believe I ever loved you guys.
Ballerina: Please, you never loved us. You bit our hands and ripped our heads off. (Ballerina jams the plane into the down position as Laura is tied to the pilot chair)
Laura: I was just a kid. I loved you. I played with you til I was thirteen! No one else would have!
Ballerina: Then they deserve to die for that reason. Ladies and Gentlemen, you are all about to die! Thank you for choosing Jet Blue for your flying needs.
( The Barbies have shot up most the cabin… each take a parachute and choose a window and jump as the plane starts going down)
Laura: Ladies and gentlemen? Does anyone back there know how to fly an airplane or know where the real pilot is?
(The cockpit door flies open and the president comes in)
Mr. President? You can fly an airplane?
President: A president has to know how to do many things. ( the president takes the co-pilot seat) You didn't tell me the Ballerina Barbie jammed the stick.
Laura: Can't you unjam it?
President: I'll try. ( he pushes the lever as hard as he can and it goes back to normal) Nothing… maybe we can get to auto-pilot. (looks for the auto pilot button. (President presses a button and the plane goes down faster)
Laura: You don't really know how to fly a plane do you?
President: No.
Laura: Then why are you up here?
President: Because no one is going to kill my citizens! Besides, if a nun can land a plane so can I.
Laura: No you can't.
President: We just need to find auto pilot…
Laura: Don't press anything just call the tower.
President: Why don't you call?
Laura: I can't call. In case you haven't noticed I'm tied to this chair!
President: All right… All right! ( the president gets on the radio) This is JetBlue flight 33 to tower… come in tower.
Voice: This is JFK to JetBlue 33… what do you need 33?
President: This is the president of the united states our plane was hi jacked by Barbies, we don't know where our pilot is and we are coming towards the ground very fast!
Voice: Press the black button and then pull the lever in front of you up.
President: The lever has been jammed.
Voice: All right. There is a lever marked emergency on your left . Pull it towards you.
(the president pulls the lever towards him)
President: The plane is steady
Voice: Good. We are tracking your progress. You are coming up on our landing pad. There is a black button. Push it…. Now!
(President pushes the button and the plane slowly descended to the earth and lands on the landing pad and then the president presses the stop button as the plane slowly comes to a stop)
Good job, 33… I mean ,Mr. President.
President: Thank you, tower.
(The president gets out of the chair and unties Laura. They exit the cockpit and get stuck behind a crowd of very rattled people)
Laura: I'm never taking a plane again.
(Outside the airplane they meet with the others)
Let's go to my parents house. They live across from the UN.
Andy: That's convenient.
Laura: Yea.
(Later at the Benson house)
Hey, mom… This is the president and my boyfriend Andy….Mr. President, Andy this is my mom Marcia… Marcia Benson.
President: Hello, Mrs. Benson. It's a pleasure.
Marcia: Laura, could I see you for a second in the kitchen?
Laura: Sure, mom.
(Laura and her mom go into the kitchen)
Marcia: What is going on here? Why is the president in our house?
Laura: He's here to help solve the toy problem.
Marcia: Why does he have to do it here? He could easily contact the military from the White house.
Laura: No. No, military!
Marcia: They are just toys.
Laura: Thoughts like that are why we are in this mess. The toys don't think we appreciate them and that belief is getting fueled by a power mad sweet smelling bear who just took over the white house and got barbies to try and kill us!
Marcia: What do you mean kill you?
Laura: They hi jacked our plane and attempted to crash it!
Marcia: They did what?!
Laura: Don't worry with the help of the president and the JFK airport tower we got through it ok. We just need to discuss peaceful solutions with the UN delegates before this gets out of hand.
( the president enters the kitchen)
President: We better get going, Laura.
Laura: All right. Goodbye, mom.
(Laura and the others leave the building. Go to the UN where the delegates are waiting. The head of the UN goes up to the stand)
Head: Welcome, everyone to this very important UN meeting. We have with us a very special guest. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States…
( the president comes up on stage)
President: Thank you all for coming. As you are aware all over the world for the past few days there has been a war waging between humans and toys resulting in injuries and deaths… even some attempted deaths. Unlike the other terrorists we have faced this Lots'o' hugging bear who is behind this revolt seems to have a charm that he uses to hypnotize the other toys into doing what he wants. But toys have always been there for us and we shouldn't turn on them just because they are alive. We need a peaceful solution. We need as many of them on our side as we can get. Anyone have any ideas as to how we can PEACEFUL stop this madness?
Delegate #1: They are vicious mindless toys they won't listen to peaceful reasoning!
( The president helps Woody on to the stand)
Woody: Yes we will. We are perfectly capable of being reasonable just like the rest of you because we were played with kind children who were reasonable, peaceful people.
Delegate #2: With all the injuries and deaths over the fast few days because of your kind why should we listen to anything you have to say, toy.
Woody: Because I'm sure you aren't the only ones getting killed and injured. Plus, I'm risking my safety by talking in front of humans who think it's a good idea to massacre every toy on the planet including me, Mr. delegate.( the delegates murmur in agreement) Any ideas?
Delegate#3: What about an international televised apology to the toys of the world? Christmas is coming what about a televised celebration with toys and humans celebrating together.
Woody: I like it.
Laura: We could use it to rile up Lots'o' hugging bear… he'll be sure to crash a party that he's against…. In fact, we should have celebrity guests help promote this.
Woody: I could get some friends from Sunnyside Daycare in on this. I know that they haven't fallen for Lotso's tricks again. We'll set it up for tomorrow night. All in favor?
(They all 'aye')
Head: Meeting dismissed! Thank you all for coming!
Narrator: The rest of the day and most of the next day we spent getting ready for the big blow out. All the news people showed up and the toys from Sunnyside had been flown in with Bonnie and her mother with them which surprised Woody and the others. Molly and Andy's mom were there too.
EMCEE: Welcome to the UN togetherness Christmas special… we have some great musical guests with us today and we'd like to thank you for supporting the end of the toy/ human war… singing "Toyland", the wonderful Tommy Sands.
(While the song went on toys and people were mingling, talking, and having a very nice time. Beyonce even kissed Rex which made him faint. Mr. Potato got jealous when Mrs. Went over to flirt with Mario Lopez. Laura and Andy started to make out under the mistletoe)
Wasn't that wonderful? Next we have Mariah carey singing "All I want for Christmas is you"
(Mariah gets on stage)
Mariah: This is the cutest and smartest hedgehog I know… Mr. Pricklepants, this is for you, baby.
(She starts to sing the song to Mr. Pricklepants who was sitting at the middle table blushing as the others were cheering him on. Half way through the song a mob of toys and people come towards to area at first they seem angry but as they get closer people realize they are cheering and are there to join the party)
Laura: We got a following.
Woody: Now, this is what the world should be like.
(Suddenly a small group of toys including Lotso, Lucky, and Luna surrounds the place)
Laura: You're right on time, Lotso!
Lotso: Really because it appears the party has already started without me, little lady.
Laura: O, we could never start a party without you… see it's a surprise party for you.
Lotso: Then why isn't anyone yelling surprise?
Laura:O they will…
(Guards surround the toys)
Surprise!
( the guards grab at the evil toys which are not that many. Lotso tries to run away as he gets ambushed. One guard grabs him kicking and screaming towards a paddy wagon)
Lotso: This isn't over! You think you've won… you've lost! (Lotso takes out a mini dart gun and tries to shoot Laura. Lucky sees the dart and runs to try and stop it and it hits Lucky who collaspes as Lotso is stuffed into the wagon. Laura runs over to Lucky) Lucky! Lucky, are you ok?
Lucky: No. I'm not. I'm sorry, Laura.
Laura: No, I'm sorry, Lucky. This is all my fault. I love you.
Lucky: I love you too.
(Lucky's body goes limp)
Laura: LUCKY! (Laura starts to cry)
