Pioneer Youth – Annabelle & Ariana
“The
sun has been setting sooner, Autumn is on it’s way
the dreams I planted here last spring can be harvested today”
Lyrics from: Harvesting My Dreams
This Musical features 14 songs
by Pierre Jacques Pleau
Annabelle,
Georgette & Ariana | Ariana:
“This evening we’re going to celebrate our harvest - would you like to join us Georgette?!” |
| Georgette: “I’d love to Ariana, but I don’t
know if I can afford to take time away from bringing in the crops.” |
| Annabelle: “Taking a few hours away from the field Georgette, would rejuvenate your body, mind
and spirit – and give you strength to meet the days ahead.” |
| Ariana: “Please say you’ll come, Georgette. We’re inviting everyone who
helped us replant our tater crop.” |
| Georgette:
“Well I suppose in that case, I should really be helping you host the celebration; being that everyone helped me plant
my crops as well. Yes Ariana – I’ll come!” |

 Pernella,
Rheanna, Tasha & Fuchsia
| ~
Meeting of the Fairies for the Changing of the Seasons ~ |
| Rheanna: “Fuchsia, I was wondering how to explain to the
critters that not all food is free for the taking.” |
| Fuchsia: “Are you referring to the fields of vegetables and grains that the pioneers planted.” |
Rheanna: “Yes that’s right.”
|
Pernella:
“I was wondering the same thing. I imagine that it could cause a bit of confusion for the animals that are
used to foraging on this land.”
|
| Rheanna: “Especially
for raccoons!” |
 |
|
| ~ Raccoons – Rusty & Royal venture out of their
den to look for food ~ |
| Rusty:
“What do you smell Royal?” |
| Royal: “Autumn is coming!” |
| Rusty: “Who is Autumn – I don’t
think we’ve met before.” |
| Royal: “Autumn isn’t a girl – it’s a season – it’s harvest
time!” |
| ~ Playful
black bear cubs – Autumn & Amber ~
|
Amber: “Look Autumn – I bet it was those Raccoons who
were calling your name”
|
Autumn: “What do you think they want Amber?”
|
| Amber: “I bet they want to play
a game with us!” |
 Aubree,
Rusty, Linnea & Royal
| Aubree: “Would
you like to come to a harvest celebration with us - Annabelle, one of our neighbors, invited us – and she said we could
bring a couple of our friends.” |
| Royal: “That’s
very thoughtful of you Aubree – but I don’t think we’d fit in.” |
| Aubree: “You might dress a little different than some of our friends, but that doesn’t
change who you are on the inside.” |
| Royal:
“Yes that’s true – but it’s a celebration for people – not raccoons.” |
| Linnea: “No one would know that you’re a raccoon – if you dressed up in
pioneer clothes – like you did when we first met.” |
| Royal:
“You’re right – I suppose we could!” |
| Aubree: “You’ll come then?!” |
Rusty:
“You can count us in!”
