 * Gary** : (played by Hank Gauger) during his early years of his life, Gary would boast and brag about how strong and powerful he was. He even said he could take down the old witch of the land! This witch didn’t think much of that statement, so she put a curse on him, in which he alternate between a man and a man fish each day.
 * Chuck:** (played by Stephen Hollinshead) Chuck is a regular man, fishing on a normal lake, when a storm rolls by and he is pushed to the shore. It’s raining so hard, that he decides to stay in a cave until this passes. Out of luck, he is in the same cave as Gary. Gary offers friendship, and a place to stay through the storm. Chuck at first denies and starts to leave when a man appears behind Gary.
 * Witch**: (played by Eric Rost)

Ahh… Tonight is a great night to fish! Finally I get a chance to be away from my family and the rest of the world. Just me sittin' here, and not a single care in the world. (few seconds pass) (looks at the sky) is- is- is that thunder clouds?! Oh no oh no oh no! this will ruin my night of fishing. I better find a place of shelter before- *Huge Thunder Boom* (looks around) Ah ha! There is a very dark and dreary cave over there! It’s the perfect place of shelter! (rows his “boat” for less than 10 seconds and hops off into the “cave”) (looks around into the “cave”) This will do just fine.
 * Chuck ** (center stage in a “boat”) : (talking to himself)
 * Gary ** (suddenly appears out of no-where and is standing right in front of chuck.) Hello there.
 * Chuck ** (very frightened) Wh- wh- who ar- are- you?
 * Gary ** (sounds like nothing bad is happening) My name is Gary. You’ve been my first visitor in 90 years.
 * Chuck ** (still frighted) Well Gary uh- uh, what are you doin' here?
 * Gary ** I've been here for 200 years in this dark cold cave. Would you like to have some dinner?
 * Chuck ** (drooling over food, but wanting to go home) Well… you see Gary, the food you are serving sounds very, very marvelous, but I've got to get home to feed my own family.
 * Gary ** (mad now) NOO!!!! NOO!!!! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME!!!! I REALLY NEED THIS FRIENDSHIP!!!!
 * Chuck ** (confused) Why is this so important to you?
 * Gary ** (going into the past) You see when I was a just a little youngin' boy, I was always stealing and getting into trouble, bragging about everything, even braggin' I could take down the old witch of the land. Now the witch didn't think much of this so she put a spell on me....
 * Witch:** Bibble babble bobble swish.. turn this man into a fish!

__**Present:**__ (**AFTER DINNER)** Witch:(yelling)** With these words that I shall say, you will be cursed until the next day! ** Chuck ** (annoyed) BY STOP HUGGING ME!!!! ** The End **
 * Gary: So that's how it happened, and every night I switch between man-fish and man...**
 * Chuck ** (surprised/ non-believing) Wow, Gary! This is so fine a story you have there. But unfortunately I don't believe in man-fishes....
 * Gary (convincing) ** Well, if you don't believe me stay over for dinner and at 12:00 you see for yourself.
 * Chuck ** (Doesn't like losing arguments) Fine! I'll show you that your a liar!
 * Gary: ** Fine.. but if I change will you be my friend.. and break the curse forever?
 * Chuck ** (still not convinced) Fine its a deal!
 * Gary**: Any second now...
 * Witch (appearing with a flash!):** Hello again Gary!
 * Gary**: Hey witchy.. you wanna make this one quick?
 * Chuck: (**confused**) .....?? What.. the
 * Gary: (screaming)** AHHHHHAAHAH!
 * Chuck: (scared- running from the cave)** I gotta get outta here!
 * Witch (now standing in the back of the cave):** Well another day of shame for you!
 * Gary:(shamed and sad)** Yes. it is...!! Wait! we had a deal, Chuck!
 * Chuck: (now at the entrance to the cave, stops)** ...Do I go back in.. or (sighs).. leave forever..
 * Gary:** Wait.. no.. don't .. go.. **(sighs with a tear)** It's useless.. I know I'll never break this curse..
 * Witch:** You should have never made that one comment. You would not be going through this right now. And I've beaten you.
 * Gary: (tears fading; with the witch now disappearing)** There's no point for me..
 * Chuck: (running back in)** Wait..(Very hesitant) Gary.. uhh.. maybe I could learn to like you.. you know you have showed a great friendship, probably the best one I've ever seen.. and.
 * Gary: (cutting him off)** YES! Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Thank you, thank you so much!
 * Witch: (appearing)** Please.. this is no real friendship.. this is just a man feeling bad for a loser! This is just Pity!
 * Gary: (surprised)** Is this true Chuck?
 * Chuck:** Of course its a lie! He's tricking you!
 * Witch:** Well if it is a real friendship, then why are you still a man-fish?
 * Gary: (sad)** He's right.. **(now angry)** Chuck you're a fake!
 * Chuck:** (Chuck at this moment realized how nice Gary was, and how good of friends they could be) You know what, I am his friend and you can go back to your lands, you witch!
 * Witch** (SCREAMING) NOOOOO! THE CURSE HAS BEEN BROKEN!!!! Hubble bubble paranormal. Turn this man-fish back to normal!!
 * Gary ** (very excited, hugging Chuck) How- How can I ever repay you, Chuck?
