MOTHER ANGEL: It’s time for you to meet the angels returning from
heaven’s playground.
AOLANII: I will leave at dawn. (AOLANI, 21, wears glasses, nerdy, enters
through the cloudy fog. (Trips) Gotta watch that first step. Here I am at
earth’s outlet. (Yawns) Excuse me had to get up pretty early.
Dreaming!
No this is not a costume party. I’m the real thang. What you mean you
not ready to go. (Pause) Say what! You don’t want to miss your surprise
party! Well surprise! You ain’t gonna be there. (She turns to leave, and
looks back.)
Aolani (folds arms) Look, I know we have eternity but that doesn’t mean I
wait that long. (Taps foot)
Where you going there’s gonna be a a party like no other, cuz, everybody
knows that ain’t no party like a heaven coming party cuz a heaven coming
party don’t stop!(Laughs - throws hands out)(Pauses)
Who said angels don’t talk like this? Which one of you earth angels or us
heaven-residing ones? (Pause) Huh, thought so. Say what?! (snaps
fingers)
No you didn’t say I have to convince you to come. Hello it’s heaven. You
know heaven. Okay, Okay! She cracks knuckles, looks upward and says:
(SONG 2) plays as Angels step out the audience slowly make their way into
the aisle and toward heaven. Aolani whispers to WINGS, a MALE ANGEL,
sitting on a cloud.
WINGS :(Yawns)Already.
Aolani(nudges him) Wake up.
You missed the party of all parties. (Dance) There was dancing and
singing and moving to the groovin.
Aolani (nudges Wings)Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, maybe next time, but right now the
world is waiting. . .
WINGS: Okay, Okay, Good morning sun, Good morning animals, and trees,
seeds good morning world.WINGS looks downward at the OTHER ANGELS who are
resting. He begins to gently touch them, they raise yawning.
WINGS:Wake up, Wake up. . . Each angel wakes another, shakes hands, some
hug.
Wings: Maybe some day I’ll visit you again, when I’m not too busy.
He opens his book, and is interrupted by the sound of 2 SMALL ANGELS.
AMADEUS has small wings pulls on BLISS’ larger wings.
BLISS: Yeah, and look what you did! (BLISS touches her bent wing.)
BLISS: Yes, (with attitude - rolls neck). You did! Remember, when you
flew into that space ship.
BLISS: Why?
BLISS: I know and I wish I hadn’t done it. Look what he did.
Wings: (sees AMADEUS pushes BLISS)I said behave or do you want Mother
Angel to deal with you?
Wings: I spoke of you. AMADEUS was asking about the growth of his wings.
MOTHER ANGEL: As much as I want to give him a chance to grow them, his
hour has not come yet.
MOTHER ANGEL: You will know when the time is right, now you two go find

PresenT DAY, - EASTER - song 1
Ori
What was that all about?
WingS
I don’t want to talk about it?
ORI
You don’t have to, your heart said it all.
The curtains close. Butterflies and Spring enter down the aisle hiding
the easter eggs and throwing rose petals.
SpRING
(enters)
Oh, Wings, I have missed you so much.
WiNGS
I missed you too.
SPRING
Not as much as Aolani.
WINGS
Don’t mention her. Do you know that she was here?
SPRING
I figure she would be.
WINGS
And why is that?
SPRING
Because she loves you.
WINGS
Me, why me?
SPRING
Why not you?
WINGS
There you go again. Maybe she’s just here to ruffle my feathers.
SPRING
That could be partially true, but I have heard her heavenly whispers for
you. She wants to be your angel.
Ori
(smiles)
You are beautiful.
SPRING
Why thank you?
ORI
Are all angels as beautiful as Aolani?
SPRING
What?
WinGS
Forgive him, he still has Cupid’s love dust on him. Have you seen the
rabbits?
SPRING
Have you tried calling them: you know what happens when I come to earth.
WINGS
I know Spring-time love begins.
OrI
What is that?
WINGS
(Call out))
You’ll see. Peter, Peter Rabbit.
PETER RABBIT
Wings, my friend, been a long time. Who’s your friend?
ORI
(examines him)
You look like me.
WINGS
Peter meet Ori. I bought him for you and your brother to explain on the
importance of love.
OrI
Oh snap, I’ve never heard a rabbit talk.
PETER RABBIT
That’s funny neither have I.
ORI
What do you mean?
WingS
Peter is talking in his own language, it just that love has made it
possible for you to understand him.
OrI
Are you saying that love is that powerful?
WINGS
With love all things are possible to him who wants to believe.,ORI
That’s straight. (Circles him) How do you know Wings?
PETER RABBIT
My brother and I were his pets and before he made his flight to heaven,
he loved us enough to us free.
PETER RABBIT (cont'd)
Look, I was on my way to find my brother at the battle for bunnies. Join
me.
WinGS
Knowing him, he’s already at the battle for the bunnies.
Spring still throwing rose petals.
OrI
Yes, I’m can’t wait to here what you have to say about Love.
PETER RABBIT
Love, especially springtime its wonderful. It feels like a new start.
Spring is the season when all things that have been nutured with love
begin to grow.
OrI
(looks at Spring)
Yes, Spring, I think I love springtime.
WINGS
Ori, you mentioned the words I and love. Are you having a change of
heart?
ORI
Are you? Man, I know you want to help, but maybe you should help
yourself?
PETER RABBIT
Is there a problem?
WINGS
Not at all. Peter, this year will you chose a special girl bunny?
PETER RABBIT
Yes, I will.
ORI
I can’t believe, I’m asking this question to a rabbit. Any way, will you
love her?
PETER RABBIT
Yes, I will but only if she opens her heart for my love to flow with
hers. I’m not the smoothest talking bunny like . . .
WINGS
Your brother Boogiedown Bunny.
OrI
What kind of name is that?
PeTER RABBIT
What can I say about my brother.? I guess you’d have to see for yourself.
WINGS
How is he?
PETER RABBIT
You know same ole Boogiedown, wherever he is he’s probably getting his
playboy Mac on.
ORI
Really, bunny Rabbits do that.
PETER RABBIT
Why do you think there’s so many of us!
They exit as Boogiedown Bunny enter. (Play song #2) with his girl KIKI.
,Kiki
Look the battle for bunnies hasn’t started yet, so it gives me time to
get ready. I’ll be back(jacks him up) Don’t start before then.
Boogiedown bunny
I won’t. Rabbit’s honor.
KIKI
Boogiedown, you have no honor, that’s why I am warning you.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
Have I ever hopped around on you?
KIKI
Let’s see . . .
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
Never mind. You’re my choice this spring.
KIKI
I better be or you’ll have to explain it to my brothers.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
Not this time Kiki.
MORE RABBITS ENTER, Boogiedown walks over and gives him 5. A female bunny
walks by and Boogie decided to put his Mac on. He walks over to her.
OrI
What’s he doing?
PeTER RABBIT
(behind the trees)
He’s bunny mackin; a regular sugar bunny, if you ask me. Rabbit thinks
all bunnies want him. Just watch.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
Hey. you’re a new bunny here. I can see by the way you’re looking at me
you want to be my number one choice in the battle for bunnies.
HONEY BUNNY turns and ignores him. He grabs her hand, she pulls away.
HoNEY BUNNY
Hey.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
Oh, I see you one of those bunnies.
HONEY BUNNY
And what kind is that?
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
The kind that like to be sung to.
#1 rabBIT
You remember what Kiki said.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
Who, yeah. Fellows help me out here?
Boogiedown Bunny and his boys start circling her and singing Song #3. As
he is singing, KIKI watches from a distance. Smiling, HONEY BUNNY
snuggles up to him.
BooGIEDOWN BUNNY (cont'd)
See fellow I knew I had her.
She disappears.
KIKI
Boogiedown Bunny.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
Oh, Kiki I didn’t see you there. Everything okay.
Honey Bunny returns with an answer singing Song #4 and the butterflies do
a dance.
HONEY BUNNY
Boogiedown, oh I see why you choose me to be your bunny.
KIKI
What?! Boogiedown you promised.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
You know you’re the only one I spring into action for.
KIKI
Not this time. I’m gonna tell my brother.
Boogiedown bunny
Wait. . You’re my choice.
Peter Rabbit, Ori and Wings enter. Peter Rabbit laughs at his brother.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY (cont'd)
What’s so funny?
Peter RABBIT
You are gonna get enough of trying to be a playboy rabbit.
BOOGIEDOWN BUNNY
You just jealous because, you’re just a bunniless nerd with glasses.
OrI
Don’t let him . . .
PeTER RABBIT
That’s okay, hard to believe that we are brothers.
BooGIEDOWN BUNNY
I say that to myself everyday, Wings are you sure we came from the same
mother?
WINGS
Fellows please, you both are setting a bad example for Ori.
OrI
No, I can relate. (Hugs Peter) same game, different, playas. Done to me
by a so-call friend.
PETER RABBIT
Really.
WINGS
Boogie, just explain your meaning of love.
BoogIEDOWN BUNNY
(takes Peters glasses)
Let me borrow these. (Paces- acting educated) Love is part of our blood,
without it we, nature’s keepers, couldn’t do our part to help nature to
continue. Mother nature (looks at Spring) does a wonderful job but she
doesn’t do it alone. We all help and we do it because we love where we
live.
PETER RABBIT
Though we’re called other names and our behavior it is still love.
ORI
I can’t believe that not, from the sugar rabbit here or should I say Mac
bunny.
BoOGIEDOWN BUNNY
A Mac Rabbit yes, but a . . . Who said I was a sugar Rabbit?
Peter whistles and walks away.
OrI
It’s obvious, your behavior makes me believe that you don’t believe in
love either, only cheap thrills.
Honey Bunny walks pass them and wiggles her tail.
Boogiedown bunny
You got me all wrong, but I can tell you about cheap thrills.
Boogiedown Bunny exit with Honey Bunny, leaving Peter Rabbit standing.
OrI
See the playa always gets the girl.
Peter Rabbit stands alone, Honey Bunny returns sings song #7
HONEY BUNNY
Peter, Peter Rabbit.
PETER RABBIT
Yes.
HONEY BUNNY
Don’t keep me waiting.
PETER RABBIT
Huh, not bad for a nerd with glasses.
