ACT I

                                       PRELUDE

                                   In the dark, sweet music starts to
                                   play.  Before too long, there is a
                                   FLASH OF LIGHT, and we see a FAIRY 
                                   roaming aimlessly, perhaps in the
                                   audience area.  The music adjusts
                                   accordingly.  Dark again.  More music. 
                                   Another FLASH OF LIGHT.  This time TWO
                                   FAIRIES are spotted, equally lost. 
                                   This happens a few times, revealing
                                   more fairies, seemingly lost.  In the
                                   final darkness, the music builds as the
                                   actors get into place for the beginning
                                   of the show.

                                       SCENE 1

               VARIOUS CHILDREN'S HOUSES.  TODAY.

                                   A number of children sit at computers,
                                   tapping away rhythmically as the song
                                   progresses.  Above them, we can see A
                                   LARGE SCREEN projected.  This screen
                                   depicts what the children sing about. 
                                   (We don't need to see the various
                                   children's houses onstage, just a
                                   clearly-delineated area that
                                   accommodates different locations.  The
                                   computers themselves can be represented
                                   merely by keyboards, or, perhaps,
                                   pantomimed completely.)

                                   The song ends.  As the applause fades,
                                   the children remain at their computers,
                                   and softly echo the rhythmic chant of
                                   "click, click, click" for a bit as the
                                   scene progresses.

                                   From the aisles, a cricket named
                                   CLIFFORD and a frog named RIBBET enter
                                   and survey the scene.  Clifford is a
                                   sharp, energetic little creature. 
                                   Ribbet is on de-caf.  The animals, in
                                   reality, are a distance away from the
                                   kids, looking from whatever vantage
                                   point they have on the kids in their
                                   houses.

                                   CLIFFORD
            Are you lookin' at this?

                                   RIBBET
            Yup.  I'm lookin'.

                                   CLIFFORD
            So you're seein' what I'm seein'.

                                   RIBBET
            Yup.  Lookin'.  Seein'.  Takin' it all in.

                                   CLIFFORD
            We got a big job ahead of us.

                                   RIBBET
            Yup.  Big job.  Biiiig job.

                                   CLIFFORD
            I don't know if we can get away with it.

                                   RIBBET
            Why not, Clifford?

                                   CLIFFORD
            Well, look at 'em!  Sitting at home, totally hooked to the
            computer.  We'll never get them to do what we want them to
            do!  

                                   RIBBET
            But they've got to help us!  We promised the fairies we would
            find them places to live!

                                   CLIFFORD
            Let me think, Ribbet!

                                   MONICA enters.  She is a beautiful
                                   monarch butterfly.  Clifford reacts
                                   badly.

                                   CLIFFORD (cont'd)
            Monica!  I'm glad you're here!  Where is everybody else?

                                   MONICA
            They're coming, don't worry.  Have you found the special
            person yet?

                                   CLIFFORD
            No! 

                          (indicates kids)
            And I doubt we'll find the special person there!
             

                                   MISSIE, a hummingbird, flitters onto
                                   the scene.  She is energized, and
                                   pretty much can't stop moving.  She
                                   also talks very, very quickly.  This is
                                   a constant with her.  Whenever she
                                   talks, she's like this.

                                   MISSIE
            Hello, hello, hello.  Sorry I'm late.  I had a lot to do this
            morning.  Lots and lots to do.  Looking for houses, you know. 
            Have to find  houses for the fairies very soon, very soon. 
            Hummmmmm.  Hummmmmmm.  Lots to do.  Lots and lots to do. 
            Looking for houses.  Sorry I'm late.  House-looking.  That's
            what I was doing...Hummmmmm...

                                   CLIFFORD
            Missie!  Missie!  Slow down...slooooow down.  Relax.

                                   MISSIE

                          (not succeeding)
            Okay.  I'll relax.  Gotta slow down and relax if I wanna help
            you guys.  Slowin' down.  Slowing down now.  Relaxing. 
            Relaxing as fast as I can.  Relaxing...

                                   Clifford and Ribbet grab her, and hold
                                   her.

                                   CLIFFORD
            Deeeeep breath.

                          (she tries, fails)
            Deeeep....deeeeeeeep breath...

                          (tries again, gets closer,
                           fails, flits)
            One more time....deeeeeeeeeep....breeeeeeath...

                                   This time she succeeds.  Takes a nice,
                                   deep breath, and stops moving for the
                                   first time.  Clifford, Ribbet and
                                   Monica look at her, wait a beat.  Then
                                   smile.  She smiles.  Then she starts
                                   moving furiously again.

                                   MISSIE
            Okay.  That was a nice rest.  Now let's get to work.  Work,
            work, work, if we wanna get this
