Scenes with Sunni Gummi 9
ADAngelo Davini
My cage traps! More animals for my collection.
[Gummis have been captured and are suspended in hanging cages]
SunniDo something, Zummi!
[Angelo Davini approaches and is surprised to see he has caught Gummis]
ADAngelo Davini
Talking bears? But that means..you are Gummi Bears? But I thought they were only fairy tales.
Oh no, no, no. We are not Bummi Gears, I mean Gummi Bears.
We, are, uh, dressed like Gummi Bears on our way to a costume party!
Sunni
We cannot talk either!
ADAngelo Davini
Do not try to con a con artist! You are Gummi Bears! You should all be honored to meet me. I am an artist, and I am going to immortalize you in stone.
Sunni
Oooh! I always wanted to be immortalized.
[Angelo Davini throws petrifying powder on Gummis, which transforms them into statues. Grammi and Gruffi have gone on separate searches for the others]
[talking to herself] Ooh, I am going to fix his wagon!
ADAngelo Davini
[talking to himself] Gummi Bear statues will bring me a fortune.
[talking to himself] I will teach him to mess with Gummi Bears!
[Grammi attempts to attack Angelo Davini the same time Gruffi attempts a Tarzan-style attack. Angelo Davini bends over, causing Grammi and Gruffi to collide with each other]
GGGrammi & Gruffi
[in unison] OOF!
Hey, what is the big idea?
Me? I almost had him when you..
[Bickering continues as Grammi and Gruffi hide in Angelo Davini's wagon, which is now headed towards Castle Dunwyn]
Unwin embarrassed me in front of the princess. He said I am too small and weak to be a knight. And the worst part is, he is right.
Nonsense. That is Unwin is just a big bag of wind!
Sunni
Well, I think Cavin ought to ignore that brute.
No, you need to bash and smash!
I would flatten that Unwin into a pie crust!
STOP! Everyone! Gummis, we are all nobles and no peasants. We are not being helpful by bickering. Now, does anyone have a practical solution to Cavin's problem?
[Gummi Bears stare into space]
How about Gummiberry juice?
Yeah! Just drink your Gummiberry juice and POW!
No, no Cubbi and Cavin! Gummiberry juice is only for emergencies, not for selfish activities like bopping bullies. To become a real knight, you must train, practice and study.
[Cavin still does not seem inspiried by Zummi's sage advice. Other Gummis save for Cubbi depart]
Maybe there is an answer in the Great Book.
[Gummi Bears were able to rescue Grammi from getting kidnapped. Grammi is in the living room recovering from her ordeal]
Who knows what would have happened had the ogres captured you? You are important to us.
[sweetly] Aw, you really mean that?
Of course. Who else will make our Gummiberry juice?
[Grammi hurls seat cushion at Gruffi]
[annoyed] Thanks for the concern, muttonhead! [calm] But actually, you are right. The time has come for me to share the recipe with someone else.
Do not look at me. I do not know a ladle from a teaspoon. Cubbi is too young, Zummi would get it all backwards, and Tummi?
Tummi would wolf down the ingredients before I even got started. That only leaves Sunni.
Naw, too flighty. And lately, no respect for Gummi traditions.
Nonsense. Sunni is a fine young woman who respects the old values.
[Sunni enters living room]
Sunni
Presenting, the new Sunni!
[Sunni reveals she has dyed her hair pink, shocking Grammi and Gruffi]
How were the Gummi Glen Gummis supposed to tell the others they could return?
The ancients built some kind of great machine that could send messages across the ocean.
Sunni
But it's safe now, right?
[Gruffi makes an annoyed grunt]
Just think, if the bears returned, I would have someone to play with!
[Gummis imagine Gummi Glen during the time before the Great Gummi Exodus, with flags, banners and many Gummis. Sunni is elegantly dressed as several male Gummis look in admiration.]
And I'd be a great Gummi warrior!
Sunni
And I'd be a Gummi princess.
[Zummi is surrounded by the Great Gummis]
And I would learn from the great Gummi wizards.
[Zummi casts spell making Gummi magicians float in air while Grammi brings out cake]
And there would finally be Gummis around who appreciate my cooking.
[Fantasy turns to reality as the Gummis then hear echos; the acoustics reminding them of the sparsely populated warren]
Sunni
And we would not be alone any more.
Let's signal them to come back!
It is a lovely idea, sweetheart, but we've never been able to find the signal machine.
Oh my, oh my! It would be wonderful though.
Dunwyn Castle. King Gregor and Sir Tuxford are admiring the businesses of the peasants when they are approached by a hooded man
HMHooded Man
Look at this. I got this crystal egg from a magician who found it in an ancient desert pyramid.
HMHooded Man
Here Your Majesty. Hold it.
King Gregor holds it; a bolt transforms him into a crystal statue. People gasp as the hooded man takes egg, which now holds an image of King Gregor inside. Man exposes himself by removing hood
Ha ha, I've got your king!
Sir Tuxford and another knight draw their swords
Stop, fools! Take one more step and I will shatter this egg. Igthorn mounts his horse Now, I am going to Drekmore to hide this. When I return, I shall rule as your new king. Have my throne ready, peasants!
Igthorn rides off laughing. Calla appears
Sir Tuxford, that was Igthorn. What did he...Calla sees crystal statue in horror...FATHER!
Gummi Glen. Gummi Bears are equally shocked by news
But why don't the knights attack Drekmore Castle?
If they do, Igthorn will smash the egg, and destroy my father.
Sunni
You mean all of Dunwyn is helpless?
Calla is in tears, and all are depressed, save for Gruffi
Gruffi{determined}: Us fellow engineers need to stick together. Come on kiddo, I have got a plan. But it will take both of us to get it done in time.
Gruffi leads Calla to his workshop
[Zummi presents Chummi with a letter]
Chummi, when you arrive in New Gumbrea, would you please give this to the Great Gummis?
It is a message telling the Gummis that we still are here in Gummi Glen.
But it has been so long. We want them to come back!
Chummi tears up letter
Ha! I can do better than that! Instead of bringing the Gummis to you, I will take you with me!
My goodness! We will finally be able to meet all our Gummi cousins!
Sunni
Think of the parties!
Goodbye sink. Goodbye cutting board.
[Hammering sounds are heard in pantry. Gummis see Gruffi fixing the floor]
Gruffi? What in the world are you doing?
I do not want other Gummis who come here next to think we did not take good care of this place.
But we are leaving in several hours!
That does not matter. It is my job and I am not leaving until it is completed.
Now that you mention it, who will harvest the Gummiberry bushes?
Sunni
Um, I really should return Calla's scarf.
Come to think of it, how will we make sure that the weeds do not gain a foothold in the warren?
Gummis! Do you know what we are really saying? We do not want to go to New Gumbrea!
Yes, but what will we tell Chummi?
[Chummi overheard everything and enters kitchen]
You do not have to. I made the offer to you, not vice versa.
You see Chummi, our ancestors' responsibility was to take care of this place until the Gummis could return. Now we have inherited this duty.
It is an important mission Gruffi, and I understand.
What?! You are all backing out? No fair!
I want to leave! I just have to be a knight and over there is the only place to do it!
Not by yourself, kid. It is too dangerous.
It may not be my place to say anything, but I can understand what Cubbi is going through. Like him, I was the youngest Gummi in my warren. And when I grew up, it also made me the last Gummi. That is not much of a future.
[Cubbi jumps around in Sunni's bedroom]
Take that, you dastardly do-badder!
Sunni
Cubbi! Why do you not go bother Grammi?
Sunni
Then just go to bed and stop playing.
I am not playing. I have responsibilities. Calla made me the Unseen Defender of Dunwyn. Remember?
[Cubbi pokes Sunni with his wooden sword]
Sunni
Ouch!
[Sunni rubs herself]
Sunni
[sarcastically] Then go defend Dunwyn!
[taking it seriously] Hey! Great idea!
[While other Gummis are getting ready for bedtime, Gruffi is walking by Zummi's study. A momentary sight causes him to look twice]
[talking to himself] Holy bear claws!
[Astonished Gruffi enters room to see Zummi juggling a dozen objects in the air in the manner of an orchestra conductor]
Hello Gruffi. I have been working all day on a new batch of advanced magic spells. What do you think?
[Zummi breaks spell; causing objects to drop. Gruffi catches a marble bust]
Better work on your landings. Something could go wrong, very wrong.
Nonsense! It says right here in the Great Book that no Gummi magic can ever harm a Gummi Bear. Watch this one! Rummap fromound domone Gruffi!
[Gruffi is walking then gets knocked over by an invisible force which gains visibility only when Gruffi touches force]
All right Zummi, what did you do?
I trapped you in jail with a locking spell!
Yes, an invisible prison, but for only one man. [Zummi enters prison dome] You cannot get out, but I can.
[Gruffi tackles Zummi in order to breach prison. The walls open for Zummi but trap Gruffi. Zummi dances around prison dome while Gruffi places hand against walls]
You see, I am not an amateur! I know powerful spells like the Great Gummis.
[sarcastic] Fine, way to go pro! Whoopdy doo, you are a skilled magician.
[serious] Now, would you mind getting me out of this thing?
Oh, right, sorry! Fromee dumone Gruffi!
[Prison disappears, as does what Gruffi is leaning on]
[chuckling] Good night, Gruffi!
[Gruffi exits study]
[muttering about Zummi] Darn fool, causing more trouble than he's worth. All a guy wants is some peace and quiet when...
[Loud crash is heard and destruction of study]
[Loud noises alert all of Gummi Glen. Except for Gruffi, all Gummis are wearing bedclothes. They all enter study looking shocked]
Sunni
Zummi is gone!
And so is the Great Book!
