CRAZY DAVIE

Hey kids! Oh, thank god you're here! Oh, and Tess too! Great, finally some help! Listen--you're just in time. Bubsy Beals is with Volcano Boy, and they've taken all your parents and chained them up at the peak of Smoky Sulfur Mountain!

TEACHER TESS

We know that part already Davie! But we need some weapons to fight Bubsy and the Demon. Do you know anything we might use?

CRAZY DAVIE

Funny you should say that Tessie, because I just got this stuff out of the royal armory....a nifty kid-sized dagger and shield for each of you, and three special demon-defying magic wands!

TEACHER TESS

Okay--I want Fina, Lucy, and Milo to take the three wands! And Little Jack, you sneak around that cliff, find your parents, and unchain them! Quickly!

LITTLE JACK

Okay, see you soon.

(LITTLE JACK hops off the cloud to sneak up to unchain the parents.)

TEACHER TESS

Davie, you hop on our cloud and let's get going!

CRAZY DAVIE
(Hopping on the Cloud)

Alright Tess! Sounds like we've got a plan!

TEACHER TESS

Now everyone, Henry's in charge from now on.

(Now as HENRY sings the Cloud rapidly ascends the Mountain, where we see BUBSY BEALS and VOLCANO BOY, laughing and casting bolts of lightning into the air....and further away, the SIX GROWNUPS shackled at the top of the mountain.)

HENRY

Hey Milo, the moment is right
To let your wand's magic loose
Face the darkness and hold on tight
Go ahead and turn on the juice.
Though I know at first you didn't believe
Now I guess it's all pretty plain
Every skeptic's gotta keep some magic up his sleeve
Let it fly through the night wind and rain.

(Now MILO steps to the front of the cloud and points his wand at BUBSY and VOLCANO BOY. It lets loose a spray of white sparks and the two Bad Guys step back, cowering.)

THE KIDS, TEACHER TESS, CRAZY DAVIE

There, he's spraying out a slipstream
A white beam of sparks through the air
Hope shining bright
To find despair's deep dark night and bathe it
In clear cleansing light
Setting it right
Now there is nowhere left to hide
All hearts open wide
So come and join us
Come and join our side

(As HENRY sings the next verse he actually jumps off the Cloud and scrambles up the mountainside, grabs hold of BUBSY BEALS, and holds him so Lucie can aim her wand at him.)

HENRY

Hey Bubsy our old friend, the hour is here
To get you back on the track
You strayed off the path with a heart full of fear
Fell into the well deep and black.
Alright Lucie, get set for a jolt
Cause now it's your turn

TEACHER TESS, MADELINE, LILY

Now it's your turn

HENRY

Your wand will send forth a neon blue blazing bolt
Get ready get set, let love's fire burn

(LUCIE steps forth now and aims her wand; its stream of blue sparks seems to incapacitate him; he clutches at his heart and falls to his knees. But VOLCANO BOY grabs HENRY and holds him helpless.)

THE KIDS, TEACHER TESS, CRAZY DAVIE

There, she's spraying out a slide show
A blue flow of sparks through the air
Foul fear must fly
For now there is no danger, my stranger
That love can't defy
Light from on high
Now there is nowhere left to hide
All hearts open wide
So come and join us
Come and join our side

HENRY
(being wrestled to the ground by VOLCANO BOY)

Sweet Serafina, now it's all up to you
To put this battle to an end
Wave your wand's power in a stream straight and true
Forgiveness turning foe into friend
I have felt your magic kiss and I have heard your sweet song
And seen the sparkle in your eye
And I know inside each villain who has ever done wrong
There but for the grace of God go I.

(SERAFINA steps forth and aims her wand's stream of red sparks. They cause VOLCANO BOY to release HENRY, and fall to his knees alongside BUBSY BEALS.)

There, she's spraying out a sweet dream
A red beam of sparks through the air
The wrongs she forgave
Are tumbling down the mountain to crash in a dark lonesome cave
A great healing wave
Now there is nowhere left to hide
All hearts open wide

HENRY, TEACHER TESS

So come and join us

THE KIDS, TEACHER TESS, CRAZY DAVIE

Come and join our side
Please get into the flow
Please step into the glow
For now soon we must go....

(Suddenly the SIX GROWNUPS and LITTLE JACK come dashing around the cliff, trailing their broken shackles from their ankles. They embrace the KIDS fervently, everyone smiles and laughs. Meanwhile TEACHER TESS has gone up to VOLCANO BOY; she removes his fearsome mask to reveal the handsome face of her long-lost prince, who bows his head in shame, and they embrace passionately.)

THE SIX GROWNUPS

Well it's great to see you back
Sure could have used you in the pack
We're safe and sound, thanks to sneaky Little Jack
So much better off than we began
Cause Henry you're the man.

(Now the GROWNUPS join hands with the contrite BUBSY BEALS and VOLCANO BOY.)

So welcome back into the fold
Come one come all in from the cold
Join us together good and evil young and old
We're all just pieces of a master plan
And Henry you're the man.

HENRY, THE KIDS

So glad you all survived the slide
And came out laughing from the ride
And welcome demons to the pennant-winning side

THE GROWNUPS, DAVIE, TESS, BUBSY BEALS

The kids have taken care of everything
And Henry is the king.

ALL

It seems our business here is done
A fine performance everyone
The darkness melts into the golden rays of sun
We're so much better off than we began
'Cause Henry you're the man.

(And they all hoist HENRY up on their shoulders.)

Yeah yeah yeah, Henry's alright tonight
Yeah yeah yeah, Henry's alright tonight
Woo Henry rock on rock on
Woo Henry rock on!
Woo!

(And everyone joins hands and dances in a circle. The lights change from ominous orange to bright blue, and the smoke clears.)

THE SIX GROWNUPS

So welcome back into the fold
Come one come all in from the cold
Join us together good and evil young and old
So much better off than we began
Cause Henry you're the man.

ALL

We're all just pieces of a master plan
And Henry you're the man.
We're so much better off than we began
Cause Henry you're the man.
Amen.

(And the lights fade, leaving only silhouettes as the cast makes its weary way down the mountainside. A spotlight appears on the BAND.)
