Becky in the Nutcracker
Part Six
That night…
Doc: (sneaking into her bedroom) Ooh! More cheese! (Mousetrap snaps again) Arrgh! Why do I fall for that?!
Becky: (Wakes up with a startle and gasps when looking down to him) You!
Doc: (Struggling to get out of mousetrap) Yes, little girl… Oh! It is indeed me, with a minor proposition.
Becky: The "minor" part doesn't seem very convincing to me.
Doc: You're right… because it isn't.
Becky: What do you want?
Doc: For you to give me anything I wish for, because if you don't, I'll destroy that nutcracker that you so dearly love!
Becky: (Blushing) I don't- That is-
Doc: (Laughing maliciously) See? Now, first things first, I want every scrap of cheese in this house! Have it deliver to me within the fortnight, because I'll be back with the second thing that I want… (He left without a trace)
The next day, Becky found enough cheese to give to the two brained mouse, which she gave to that night. He began wolfing down the huge cheese pile.
Becky: You have what you want, now go away!
Doc: Not so fast, I have a few things I need still before I go anywhere.
Becky: Now what?
Doc: Hmm… those unicorns you have, they be perfect garden ornaments on my front lawn.
Becky: My… my unicorns?
Doc: You want to save your precious nutcracker or not?!
Becky: Yes! Just please… (In near tears) Don't hurt him…
Doc: (Gathers her unicorns, from there he summons his mice to carry them off) Now, I need another thing.
Becky: And what is that?
Doc: Candy, lots and lots of candy…
Becky: But you live a place filled with candy! Why do you need more? This is ridiculous, I don't see why I can't step on you right here right now.
Doc: I wouldn't think about it. (Shows his glowing finger) Remember what happen last time? I don't think you want to go through that again especially since you went through out the trouble of getting back here… (She just frowned) So, candy, remember that…
Becky: Fine! (He had gone again while she had cover her face with her hands)
After finding some leftover candy, she takes Tobey out of the cabinet and explains what's been going on.
Becky: I'm going to lose everything soon! He's going to keep coming back for more and more! But I couldn't bear the thought of seeing you destroyed!
Tobey: (Whispers in her ear) Get me a sword, and I will see to it he leaves us alone, once and for all!
Becky: But what if-
Tobey: (Placing his wooden hand to her lips) I can do it… I promise you that…
Becky: Just… be careful… (She puts him back and went straight to TJ) TJ, can I borrow a toy sword?
TJ: Why?
Becky: It's… for my nutcracker, I just thought he would look better with a sword.
TJ: Fine, (Getting one from his soldiers) but I want it back.
Becky: You have my word… (She hugs him) Thank you…
Before she went to bed that night, she slipped the sword to Tobey. While she slept, the mouse was going to wake her up but a voice said.
Tobey: That's far enough mouse…
He turns to see the nutcracker and the sword tip.
Doc: Well, I see your little girlfriend provided you with a sword… (Takes out his own) I warned her… Shall we?
They began to dual, then Becky toss and turn to the clatter of swords. Then she slowly wakes up to see the fight, in her thoughts she was going, Come on Tobey… Come on…Tobey and Two-Brains were in the heated battle for some time, until Tobey loses grip… and drops the sword…
Doc: At last! Victory is mine!
Becky: No! (She's about to use her foot)
Doc: Nah-ah, nah-ah, I gave you your warning! (Waves his hand, magically Becky is shrunk again…) Now your nutcracker will pay the price…
Becky: I don't think so! (Grabs hold of the whistle she still had and blows hard, but nothing seem to come out…)
Doc: (Saying in amusement) What was that for?!
Becky: Oh no, it didn't work!
All hope seemed to be lost then, suddenly there was rustling nearby.
Tobey: I wouldn't be too sure of that…
A large army then appears; full of the people that Becky and Tobey had met on their adventure.
Doc: What an amazing turn of events! You have interfered with my plans for the last time! (Whistles with his fingers, and the mouse army came) Attack!
A huge battle broke out, and Tobey and Becky were left to face the Mouse King once more…
Doc: Girly, I will not let you spoil my reign… My grandmother gave me the chance to be king, and by golly I will not disappoint her! And I will help her out by destroying the one person who caused her downfall… The minute the princess's curse was broken… Oh… I can't even say it… I promised myself, she would have her revenge! (Starts waving his hand)
Tobey: No! (Using his sword to reflect the magic thus turning the mouse king into a wooden nutcracker)
Becky: He's gone?
Tobey: For good.
The others managed to chase off the mice back into their hole, now that their king was gone no one could lead them. They were no longer a threat.
LRW: The day is won, triumphant, prevailed!
The crowd cheers, as they partied, Becky took Tobey aside from prying eyes.
Tobey: Becky, why…?
Becky: (She embraces him) Never will I doubt your love… Because I love you…
Suddenly a strange glow happen around them, they started to grow as Tobey began to change back to normal… No more nutcracker teeth, and no more being made of wood.
Tobey: It was you all along! The one who would set me free…
Becky: I… I guess so! I never thought… Dreams like this could happen… Here it is right in front of me… (They lean forward to kiss when she slowly begins to wake up for real… She opens her eyes to see her real room, real house, and real city) Wow… that was… interesting…
Just then the doorbell rings, Sally answers it.
Sally: Oh Claire! What a wonderful surprise!
Becky goes down, and sees from the stairway that it was Mrs. McCallister and Tobey as well…
Becky: Weird…
Claire: I just came by to drop off some cookies Theodore and I made.
Sally: (Takes one) Mmm, delicious! Won't you come in?
Claire: Maybe just for a little while.
Sally: Right this way, (Sees Becky) Oh, Becky, come say hello.
Becky: Hello Mrs. McCallister, Tobey…
Tobey: Hm.
Claire: And to you Becky.
Sally: Say Becky, why don't you show Tobey around, while Mrs. M and I have a chat.
Becky: Sure Mom.
Tobey: Oh, if I must… (They started heading outside)
Becky: You know just now I had the strangest dream…
Tobey: Really? I had a strange dream while I was sleeping in the car!
Becky: It wouldn't happen about you being a nutcracker would it?
Tobey: Yes! And you… just being an ordinary girl?
Becky: If you want to call it that, but yes!
Tobey: And Two-Brains…
Both: The Mouse King?! (Gasps)
Becky: How did we…?
Tobey: It's just not possible, is it?
Becky: Well… Christmas was always one for miracles and strange things happening…
Tobey: So you're saying it could have been real then…
Becky: Maybe… I don't know… You remember what happen before we woke up?
Tobey: I was actually going to kiss you. Kiss you! Locking lips with Botsford!
Becky: And… that would have been bad?
Tobey: Well maybe to you, since you're not fond of me.
Becky: But you care more about Word Girl than you would for me.
Tobey: Would you care to make a wager?
Becky: And that would be…?
Tobey: (Moves her closer, then touches her chin, leans forward, and they both closed their eyes, kissing) There… that was proof that next to Word Girl, you're the only other girl I would what to kiss…
Becky: I guess so… And it wasn't for you wanting to finish off the dream…?
Tobey: As usual, I have proven you wrong… (Showing off a grin)
Claire: Alright Tobey, let's go!
Becky: See you around.
Tobey: See you. (They get back into the car, and start to drive off)
Claire: Did you ask Becky what you needed?
Tobey: Yes Mum, I did…
Claire: It was rather sudden of you to tell me you wanted to go to the Botsfords after your nap from our long trip home to visiting your grandparents. I almost didn't have a good excuse for going what with it being close to eight. Good thing I still had those sweets from the party.
Tobey: All I can say is thank you. (Looks out his window in a dreamy way)
Back at the Botsfords, Becky looks out her bedroom window, wondering about the kiss she was given. A kiss so real, that no dream could ever match up to it…
Narrator: Meanwhile, all over the city… (The villains wake up from either naps or beds)
All Villains: I just had the weirdest dream!
The End…
AN: Finally! Sorry if some of it was rushed, but I had to finish before next week since I would wrapping things up at school, and that would make me very busy. Merry Christmas everyone! For those going on Winter Break, enjoy it! Happy Holidays!
