The crayons in Quinn's backpack were 

excited. They hurried around in their box as 

they whispered eagerly about Theseus' 

royal wedding. He was getting married to 

Hippolyta, a yellow crayon, and queen of 

the pencil bag. In their crayon holder, 

Hermia, a green crayon, and her father 

Egeus, an orange crayon, were arguing. 

Hermia wanted to marry Lysander, a red 

crayon, but Egeus didn't approve of him. 

He wanted Hermia to marry Demetrius,

a blue crayon. Hermia couldn't stand 

Demetrius. He always had crayon shavings on 

his wrapper and part of his flat side had been 

used. Gross. To figure out their dilemma, 

Hermia and Egeus decided to go talk to 

Theseus. He would know what to do. They told 

him of their problem. He gave Hermia three 

choices: marry Demetrius, go to live in the 

school box, or get sharpened. Being a smart 

crayon, Hermia decided to discuss things with 

Lysander. He suggested that they run away to 

the bottom of the backpack where his aunt 

had a really nice plastic baggie where they 

could happily live. They agreed to run away 

together the next school day. However, 

Helena, a brown crayon, had been hiding 

nearby. She had heard everything. Helena was 

in love with Demetrius. She hated Hermia for 

having Demetrius, even though Hermia didn't 

like him. Helena decided to try and get Hermia 

in as much trouble as possible. So, she went 

and told Demetrius of Lysander and Hermia's 

plan. Demetrius decided to go after them. 

Helena, not wanting to miss the opportunity to 

spend

time with Demetrius, went along too. Hermia 

and Lysander quietly left the crayon box so as 

to not arouse suspicion. The two crayon lovers 

rolled silently down folders and slid noiselessly 

through spiral notebook bindings. They finally 

reached the dark, dirty bottom of the 

backpack. From behind a glue bottle, a small 

blue colored pencil, Puck, servant of Titania, 

queen of the colored pencils, watched, hidden 

in the dark. Meanwhile Demetrius was 

following far behind, because of Helena, who 

wouldn't leave him alone. Oberon, king of the

fairies, watched the strange pair, Demetrius 

and Helena. Helena would tell Demetrius how 

much she loved him. Demetrius would tell her 

to go get drawn with. This happened over and 

over again. Oberon was confused as to how 

Demetrius didn't see that he was lucky to have 

someone who loved him so much. He decided 

to do something about it. But first he needed 

to do something about his own problem. He 

wanted Puck, Titania's little servant. He 

needed to have him. An idea popped into his 

mind. He thought of the half full juice box in 

the

far corner of the backpack. A drop from that 

delicious juice could make any school supply 

fall in love with the first thing it sees. It was 

perfect. Oberon called upon Puck, told him of 

his plan, and sent him off to get some of the 

juice. Meanwhile, Lysander and Hermia were 

wandering around, hopelessly lost. They 

decided to get some sleep. Puck, back from his 

mission, found the sleeping Lysander and 

Hermia, mistaking them for Demetrius and 

Helena. He gave Lysander a drop of juice and 

ran back to Oberon to continue the plan.

Finally Demetrius is able to get a way from 

Helena. Helena is now lost and confused and 

sees Hermia and Lysander asleep. Helena 

rushes over and wakes up Lysander. Since 

Puck put the juice on Lysander when he wakes 

up he is in love with Helena. Helena, surprised, 

thinks that Lysander is just making fun of her. 

Not knowing that Lysander is under a spell, 

Helena runs away and Lysander follows her.

When Hermia wakes up Demetrius is there but 

Lysander is gone. Hermia is angry with 

Demetrius because she thinks that Demetrius 

killed Lysander!! Demetrius is very confused 

and doesn't know what to do. Hermia runs off 

to go and find Lysander and Demetrius follows 

her.
