(exit Patrick Star, the children following him. Mr. Disaster is about to follow too, but Mr. Chaos holds him back)

MR. DISASTER  What’s wrong?

MR. CHAOSThe son of God? It’s just a silly, silly baby! We should stop them… So Jesus will know what it feels like to grow up all alone and unloved.

MR. DISASTER  But how do we do that?

MR. CHAOS  Who is the most evil guy you know?

MR DIS.…. you?

MR. CHAOS   I’m flattered. But no. The devil!

(enter the devil. he walks up behind them without them noticing)

MR. DISASTER  But where can we find him?

MR. CHAOS  Jesus is about to be born.

DEVIL (pretends not to care, but clearly angry) Oh really? And what do you want from me?

MR. DISASTER  All our friends are going to see him, but we think he’s silly, so we want to help you stop them.

MR. CHAOS  Against some fair compensation of course.

DEVIL  Okay. How about 777 pieces of pizza? (Mr. Disaster and Mr. Chaos shake their head) 1 million pieces of cake?

MR. DISASTER  Okay. But it has to be chocolate.

DEVIL   Fine. Go join your friends and stop them from reaching Bethlehem AT ALL COST.

Way to Bethlehem.

LOPEZ D.     An update on our special story just came in. Patrick Star is now guiding the kids through the desert to Bethlehem, wherever that is. We now switch over to Sprinkles who is with one of the children.

(exit Lopez. enter Sprinkles, the children. Mr. Chaos and Mr. Disaster sneakily join them)

SPRINKLES  What made you just take up and leave and go to the desert? Don’t you have to be in school?

Pokemon 1 Lorenzo 2o  -  We have something more important to do than going to school.

SPRINKLES  What’s more important than school?

Pokemon 2  Carolina  2o -  The birth of Jesus! … and candies.

SPRINKLES   And there you have your answer. Back to you Lopez.

(exit Sprinkles. the children keep on following Patrick Star)

MR. CHAOS (whispers to Mr. Disaster) We need to take out the star. Give him this. (gives a piece of candy to Mr. Disaster)

MR. DIS.(to Patrick) You look tired. This candy will make you more powerful.

PATRICK S.   -  I’ve already eaten so much candy… But sure, why not?

(Patrick Star eats the candy, vomits rainbows and faints. The children gasp while Mr. Disaster and Mr. Chaos cheer…. )

Pokemon 3  Desirée   2o  -    Patrick?

(Patrick Star wakes up again and jumps up and down!)

PATRICK S.   -  It worked!! I feel better than ever!

(Mr. Disaster and Mr. Chaos put up a taco stall. Mr. Disaster holds a bottle marked with poison)

MR. DISASTER   I’m not sure about doing this

MR. CHAOS  Do you want your cake?

MR DIS.(Mr. Disaster nods, is about to pour the poison, but stops) I’m also hungry. Can we have some tacos too?

MR CHAOS   Fine. Only poison half.

(Mr. Disaster makes two piles and adds the poison to one of them. enter children)

MR CHAOS   Come have tacos!

PATRICK S.   Don’t stop, come on children, we have a long way to go…

(Patrick Star exits, but the children stop and hold their hands out for tacos)

MR DIS.  Oh… Which half is which?

(Mr. Disaster hands them from the non-poisoned pile, while he and Mr. Chaos start eating from the poisoned ones. They soon start holding their stomachs. enter Lopez)

LOPEZ D.  We interrupt our regular program –

DEVIL(from off) Oh no, my favourite part. Not again!

LOPEZ D. – to give you a special report on the children. Two of them apparently got very sick after eating bad tacos. We’re going over to Superman who is with them now.

(exit Lopez. enter Superman)

SUPERMAN  What happened? Were they that bad? (Mr Chaos and Mr Disaster make miserable faces and gagging sounds) It’s definitely really bad here, back to you Lopez.

(exit Superman. enter the devil next to Mr. Chaos and Mr. Disaster)

DEVIL Is that really all you can do? (hands them a bottle) Take this it will help you feel better. But if you don’t achieve the mission I will make sure you feel even worse.

Pokemon 1 Lorenzo 2o   -  It’s getting late, we need to hurry.

Pokemon 3   Desirée  2o    -  Where’s Patrick Star?

Pokemon  2   Carolina   2o   -   We lost him! How are we going to find the way?

MR CHAOSI’m proud of you, my young apprentice.

GASPAR   You’re taking the wrong way. 

MR. CHAOS    Darn. So close!

(enter the devil.)

DEVIL   You fools! I told you you can’t fail again. I won’t give you your cake. 

MR. DISASTER  -     No, it was going to be chocolate!

DEVIL   If you want something done, do it yourself. I’m going to kidnap Jesus!

(exit devil. the children panic)
