[They ride around the room. When all of a sudden a Raggety Ann doll pops up]
BETHANY

BENJAMIN

[The bunny turns to face the army of Beanie babies. Readying themselves for battle]

BETHANY

BENJAMIN

BETHANY

[she and benjamin begin to move quickly. when all of a sudden a Tinkerbell doll flies in out of no where attacking them.]
BETHANY

[RAGGETY ANN suddenly appears in front of them]
RAGGETY ANN

[Bethany screams and is dragged off by muppet dolls and is set in her desk chair.]
BETHANY

[Bethany squirms and fights as though held by invisible chians]

BETHANY

RAGGETY ANN

BETHANY

[bethany finished her dinner quickly]
BETHANY

[BETHANY hands over her mother's earrings with a guilty look on her face]
BETHANY

[BETHANY's face lights up]
BETHANY

[she runs off, with Jan shaking her head after her daughter]
[BETHANY returns to her room, and places half of her treasure on the RAGGETY ANN]
RAGGETY ANN

BETHANY
Yes, but before I give you the rest of the treasure I want you to give me Benji first.
RAGGETY ANN

[RAGGETY ANDY leaves to the dresser of doom, and returns with a sock beaten rabbit.]

I really liked your play. It had a very creative story line. My favorite part was when the evil "witch" would laugh, "Mwhahaha!" Good Job!
This really is a wonderous (uh..that's spelled wrong but oh well) play! I liked the tin foil at the end. Nyaha. I also liked the "Mwahaha!" parts because I say that a lot online along with my favorite face... >:D
Yep. By the way, I agree. These keyboards are freakishly lame.
I loved the fact that Bethany was playing sort of make-believe and her mother wishes she would have real friends. that is realisic. and cute. the laughter 'mwahahaha.' was indeed the best part.
I thought yer poem was really funny I think you know that already though it was a litle perverted lol jk well I really like the ending its a nice unexpected joke
i like the part where they have to defend her. but i like the witches name.
This reminded me a lot of Calvin and Hobbes in a good way, but with a girl and her rabbit. You did a good job of really making it seem how a young child would imagine things when they play in their room.
I think it would be cool if you could maybe play it out so that at the beginning it really does seem like it is a princess being escorted by an army before falling under attack. Then when the mother calls her for dinner you could reveal that it was a little girl playing with toys in her room. Just a thought though.
Great Job!
