Max's Fireflies

(The scene begins at dusk. Ruby and Louise were going to see the 4th of July fireworks.)

Ruby: We're right on time, Louise. We are just in time to watch some amazing fireworks.

Louise: I love the holiday fireworks in the park, Ruby.

Ruby: That is how we listen to them making funny noises in the sky: Whoosh! Kaboom! Whoosh! Kaboom!

Louise: OOOOOOh! Aaaaaaah!

Max: Fireflies.

Ruby: Whoosh! Kaboom!

Louise: Aaaaaah!

Ruby: (to Max) It's fireworks, Max. Not fireflies. We're going to see fireworks.

Max: Fireflies. (tries to run away but Ruby grabs him)

Ruby: You can look for bugs anytime, Max. (to Louise) We have a nice comfy camping blanket to sit on while watching the fireworks.

Louise: That's a great idea, Ruby. (gasps) How about something to drink in case we get thirsty.

Ruby: Great idea. Lets go get my water bottle. Wait here, Max. We'll be right back.

[When Ruby and Louise went to get the water bottle, Max takes Ruby's comfy camping blanket to stay warm. Then he decides to play with fireflies. Max catches one and it glowed perfectly well.]

Ruby: OK. We have something to drink in case we get thirsty, and my comfy camping blanket to...(notices that the blanket disappeared) Wait! Where's my comfy camping blanket? It was here a minute ago. I wonder why who has it.

Both: Max!

Ruby: Max. We really need to hurry up before the fireworks were going to start.

Max: Fireflies.

Ruby: It's fireworks, Max! And we need this blanket for us to sit on while watching them.

Louise: You're right, Ruby. It's almost dark. They'll be starting soon.

Ruby: Maybe we should find a flashlight so we can find our way in the dark. I know! We can use my Starlight Starbright Flashlight to see that Grandma gave me for a while.

Louise: Great idea.

Ruby: (to Max) You wait here while we get my flashlight. I'll be right back.

[When Ruby and Louise get the flashlight, Max has an idea. He pours water into the ground and traps a firefly in it.]

Max: Fireflies.

[Later on, Ruby found her flashlight.]

Ruby: Now it's a lot darker. It's time to get to Grandma's.

Louise: (spots a twinkling star) Starlight. Star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may. I wish I might.

Ruby: See some fireworks tonight!

Both: (giggling)

Ruby: Allright. We have all the things we have: a flashlight and my blanket and...(notices that the water bottle disappeared) Wait! Where's my water bottle? It was use to be here, but I wonder why who took it?

Both: (gasps) Max!

[Ruby uses a flashlight to find Max. He was seen standing behind a bush.]

Ruby: Max, have you seen my water bottle? Show me your hands, Max.

[Max does so, but the water bottle was not there.]

Louise: Where else can it be?

Ruby: It's too dark to find it now. Come on, Louise. There's a spear one in the kitchen.

[However, it is revealed that Max hid the bottle on his back. Then Louise's tummy grumbled.]

Ruby: Oh, no! Do I hear thunder?

Louise: Nope, that's my tummy.

Ruby: Then we'd better get a snack too. (chuckles)

[When Ruby and Louise get the snacks, Max gets the bottle off his back and took Ruby's flashlight and turns it on and off. And the firefly lights back]

Max: Fireflies.

[Max clicks the flashlight on and off and more fireflies appeared. Then Ruby and Louise later found the snacks.]

Louise: Well! We finally found some snacks. Did we even have everything?

Ruby: Right, Louise. We have all we need: we have snacks, and drink, and my blanket and...

Both: (gasps)

Louise: Where's your starlight star bright flashlight?

[Max is seen using Ruby's flashlight along with fireflies.]

Both: Max!

Ruby: Max. We don't want to be late for the fireworks. We're supposed to be at Grandma's by now. (sees Max with the flashlight) I see you, Max! That's my starlight star bright flashlight.

Max: Fireflies.

Ruby: You can look for bugs anytime, Max. But if we don't get to Grandma's now, we'll be too late.

Grandma: There you are!

Ruby: Grandma!

Grandma: I was wondering why I haven't come over. The fireworks are about to start.

Ruby: It took longer than anytime to buy everything. But look at all the gear we remembered to bring. We have snacks to eat and a water bottle to drink.

Louise: And a flashlight to see by.

Ruby: And my comfy camping blanket to sit on.

Grandma: How clever of you girls ever think about this, except...

[Suddenly the fireworks started]

Grandma: Oh dear!

Ruby: What's that noise?

[The fireworks then ended]

Grandma: It looks like we've missed the fireworks.

Both: (sigh)

Grandma: What's that you've got there, Max?

[Max opens the bottle and the fireflies came out and flew to the air]

Both: (gasps)

Louise: Wow! Look how they light up the night.

Ruby: They're beautiful.

Grandma: (chuckles) Well, I thought that was very simple. And I'd say that these fireflies are pretending to be...

Max: Fireworks! (catches the fly)
