Scene Three
Mother
(lean toward artist’s body) Sex me up, my valentine. Don’t keep me waiting.
Boogeyman
You slut. Beg me! Beg me to take your clothes off.
Mother
I won’t beg, my sweet daddy. I’m the queen. .
Boogeyman
( carry Mother) I’ll conquer you to be my servant.
Mother
How?
Boogeyman
I just get new stuff. Let’s try. You will love it.
Mother
You are the best lover ever. But I have to go home before the night. I need to prepare for Christmas items and the party.
Boogeyman
Oh, what a wonderful home mommy! I wanna kidnap you and you won’t show up in time and your daughter will hate you forever.
Mother
(sad) I wish you could do that. I never expect to be a role model but be myself to enjoy the world unknown rather than family life. Though I have amazing husband and lovely daughter, I can’t keep going out to take a look and experience. I’m just 30 years old, too early to give up the life with million colors.
Boogeyman
Then why you got married? Without relationship or marriage, you can do whatever you want and people won’t blame you. And why you need children? They are disgusting.
Mother
No, the public will accuse you even though you are available. People addict to the absurd tradition. (strong voice) Admit it, human beings can’t be faithful forever. The Bible story told us we are expert at betrayal.
Boogeyman
Calm down, my dear. You don’t be mad about the topic because you are not the follower. That’s why we are here to have fun, out of the cage, out of convention.
Mother
(upset) I know. Guess what? I’m sick to tell my Lulu those bullshit fairy tales. They are hopes not truth. Till I am 25 years old, I realized the world doesn’t run like that. Love exists, but sexuality devours human beings’ reason. I want my daughter learn it as soon as possible.
Boogeyman
Are you sure it works?
Mother
Who knows? Maybe I should try to instruct her from now on.
Boogeyman
But you are so perfect in her mind, you might scare her away with big transformation.
Mother
So….if possible, Santa Claus, all I want for Christmas this year is to let my daughter Lulu know how people treat love and sexuality in reality.
Boogeyman ( I can make the dream come true)
It’s weird to beg Santa Claus. Maybe you should ask Mrs. Santa Claus for help.
Mother
Hahahaha. You mean that gentle Mrs. Santa Claus? The lady is always busy to teach girls how to cook? …..Wait, I figure it out. I need Santa Claus’s lover.
Boogeyman
Hahahaha. Good to you and Lulu. And I can give u a hand. Since his mistress is my good friend, I can ask her a favor to take care of your daughter tonight.
Mother
Then…now you are Santa Clause and I’ll be Mrs. Santa Clause….informal
(Kiss)
Scene Four
Mrs. Santa Claus
That’s why I’m here. I’m so excited about my first mission.
Lulu
So…that’s the gift my mother gave me?
Mrs. Santa Claus
I wanna let you know the difference between love and sexuality which people always get confused. Besides, get the idea that human beings betray in life.
Boogeyman
Mrs. Santa Claus and I are the best instructors to give you lessons.
Lulu
But Daddy didn’t.
Mrs. Santa Claus
Dear, Man can resist anything but temptations. Never expect faith from Man.
Lulu
Daddy loves Mommy so much.
Mrs. Santa Claus
Do you want me show you how your father and his secretaries always do in the office via the mirror?
Lulu
You mean Auntie Victoria?
Mrs. Santa Claus
And other aunties you don’t know.
Lulu
But how could I face the reality when I know how cruel it is?
Mrs. Santa Claus
It’s not cruel at all. Instead, it’s tradition’s fault. That’s why we called absurd world. We learnt too many wrong rules in our life. From now on, try to examine your everything. Don’t take it for granted. Always bear in mind what I told you tonight.
( Mrs. Santa Claus and Boogeyman disappear and Lulu fell asleep instantly.)
Scene Five
In Lulu’s bedroom
Mother
Lulu, get up, Merry Christmas!
Lulu
Mommy, I saw Mrs. Santa Claus yesterday.
Mother
Mrs. Santa Claus? I thought it was Mr. Santa Claus.
Lulu
It’s Santa Claus’s lover. She showed me lots of things.
Mother
(doubt) what kind of things you saw?
Lulu
I saw your boogeyman. He is quiet handsome and how you dated yesterday.
Mother
WHAT?
Lulu
Don’t surprise. It’s your wish to beg Mrs. Santa Claus to adjust my absurd attitudes learned from the fairy tales.
Mother
I can’t believe it. Are you sure it’s time for you to learn?
Lulu
Never going back. Not only your case but Daddy’s case teach me how to treat love and sexuality.
Mother
(surprise)Your father?
Lulu
(calm)Yes, all about betrayal.
BLACKOUT
