Ilminster Green Team

This is a recount about The Green Team, a play performed by Ilminster Intermediate's best drama students. Below, I will try my best to write about something non-dragon related and as a Recount instead of a Fictional story. Enjoy.

The alien spacecraft beamed up the three morons and their robot, along with their one-use rubbish. Before I can tell you that story, let me tell you this one.

It was the 16th of November 2021 (or Tuesday for short). Wainui Beach School's Moana syndicate was seated on what looked like fuzzy stairs inside of Ilminster's great, big, huge, bigger than Wainui Beach School's, hall. In front of them there was a large-ish setup of two fabric walls, one painted to look like a small rockpool, the other painted to represent a skatepark. Two stools had grey fabric, spattered in black flecks, draped over them, making them appear to look like rocks. Silence filled the hall when Nana Koura, someone dressed up as a crayfish wearing pearls, came out from behind the fabric walls.

Nana Koura sat on the biggest rock while, Kina - a kina - ran out from behind the props and sat on the slightly smaller rock next to her. After Kina was seated, two smaller crayfish popped out from their hiding place and sat in front of the old crayfish; begging for a story. Nana Koura refused and sent the two young crayfish back behind the wall but one ran back, seating herself exactly where she was before. The young crayfish asked Nana Koura again for a story, this time getting one about how Nana Koura saved the earth from aliens.

Nana Koura droned on about how she saved earth then out from behind the wall came a group of 3 tennagers, this time on the skatepark side. I guessed this is the story part she was explaining. A few seconds later, another teen from the group entered the stage on a small, blue bike. One of them, a girl, pulled out a brown bag and explained she got 10c lollies for the group. They all grabbed one each, pretended to eat the lollie, dumped their rappers on the floor, then left the scene. Suddenly a loud noise, too loud in my opinion, came from the speakers, making a weird clanking machine noise. 

Behind the wall, from the same spot the teen group came from, emerged two aliens and a robot followed by their 'king'. He was actually acted by a girl. The king alien, or in the play 'The king Moron', grabbed a boombox out from behind his back and asked his bodyguards questions like 'Is this planet big enough? Is this planet strong enough?' As he asked the questions, the two morons behind him - including robot the robot - started dancing to the different songs that boomed over the speakers, answering the king's questions. King moron decided that Earth was the perfect planet to dump his rubbish on so he sent his two bodyguards to dump his load of one use rubbish at the skatepark. He even ordered the aliens to dump the robot. After he was finished dumping, he and his aliens got back into their 'U.F.O' and left Earth to gather more rubbish to dump.

When the Teens' returned to the park, they were confused to see metallic rubbish dumped all over the place. One tried to pick up the metal, getting electrocuted when he came in contact with it. Suddenly, a pile of metal started moving. It clanked and cloncked and scrapped. When the pile calmed down, the robot the morons left behind crawled out. The group was now surprised and interested about seeing a robot. One tried to shake it's hand but the robot was electric along with the rubbish. The robot told the teens how the morons had dumped him here along with their rubbish so the group asked if he could contact them to come back to Earth and pick up their rubbish. When the robot stuck up his hand to try and catch the aliens, he accidentally picked up other signals like Peppa Pig and Dora the Explorer. He gave up but just as he did, the morons were coming back down to Earth with another load to dump. The group of teens tried to convince the morons to pick up their rubbish but they refused.

Disappointed and worried, the group ran across the stage to the rockpool-painted wall to see Nana Koura. They told her how the morons were dumping rubbish everywhere. Before Nana Koura came to help, she made the teens promise not to dump their rubbish either. When they agreed, Nana Koura walked across the stage to the park to see the aliens. When they saw her they all bowed down, thinking Nana Koura was a long lost Queen of the morons. She hesitated for a moment then played on, pretending to be their queen. She told them to gather their rubbish, leave Earth and never come back. The king ordered his two bodyguards to load the rubbish back into their ship and leave. The alien spacecraft beamed up the three morons and their robot, along with their one-use rubbish. Nana Koura had saved the Earth.
