In a jungle. The VELOCIRAPTOR is running.
VELOCIRAPTOR
Leave me alone, Dimetrodon!
The DIMETRODON comes on stage. DIMETRODON is able to catch up with VELOCIRAPTOR.
DIMETRODON:
Now you will be my snack!
VELOCIRAPTOR
So long, sucka!
VELOCIRAPTOR zooms off. DIMETRODON follows him. The PSITTACOSAURUS is onstage, looking down at the grass, trying to decide what grass to eat.
PSITTACOSAURUS
Hmm. What grass to eat today?
She sees VELOCIRAPTOR.
PSITTACOSAURUS
Oh no! Run away! It’s a velociraptor!
VELOCIRAPTOR
(sighs)
I think I did it. I think I outran him.
(His stomach growls.)
Uch, I need a snack. Who is that tasty guy over there? Gotcha! Hey, that’s just a rock.
Rustle, rustle.
VELOCIRAPTOR
Huh, what’s that? I’ll investigate who’s there.
Rustle, rustle.
DIMETRODON
Roaaar!
VELOCIRAPTOR
You!
DIMETRODON
That’s right. I’ll get you this time! You made me lose my energy, so now I can’t run fast, and you will pay.
PSITTACOSAURUS
Ahhh!
PSITTACOSAURUS starts running.
DIMETRODON and VELOCIRAPTOR
She’s mine.
They both start chasing her.
PSITTACOSAURUS
Leave me alone!
VELOCIRAPTOR and DIMETRODON are worn out.
VELOCIRAPTOR
(all worn out)
I got her.
DIMETRODON
(also worn out)
No, I got her.
PSITTACOSAURUS
W-w-will you hurt me?
DIMETRODON and VELOCIRAPTOR fall to the ground.
VELOCIRAPTOR
(all worn out)
If we would hurt you, you would hurt us with your quills.
DIMETRODON
Same.
PSITTACOSAURUS
Can we be friends?
VELOCIRAPTOR and DIMETRODON get up and nod at each other.
PSITTACOSAURUS
Please – my family left me when I was three, and I am almost seven. I also have powers.
VELOCIRAPTOR
You can join us.
DIMETRODON
What type of powers do you have?
PSITTACOSAURUS
I have everything, any power imaginable – like, I can make both of you have my powers.
VELOCIRAPTOR
Wait, don’t –
Boom!
VELOCIRAPTOR
Something’s wrong. I think I also have every power in the world.
DIMETRODON
S-s-same.
VELOCIRAPTOR
I know we can defend the forest.
PSITTACOSAURUS
Yes, I’m in.
DIMETRODON
As long as I get to smash.
VELOCIRAPTOR
Yes, you will! We will call ourselves the Defending Three.
VELOCIRAPTOR, the brains.PSITTACOSAURUS, the defense. DIMETRODON, the strength. And, together, they are the Defending Three.
