Clara is woken by the sounds of mice scurrying. The Christmas tree begins to grow. The Nutcracker has come to life.
Clara and the Nutcracker dance and dance.
Mice fill the room, led by the Mouse King. The Nutcracker comes to life and rushes to save Clara from the Mouse King. He leads toy soldiers into a battle against the mice army. Clara helps and the Nutcracker dispatches the Mouse King. The Nutcracker collapses as the mice mourn their King and then flee the scene.
I thought you were close to us, but now I am sure of it!
Yay! Another Ozarkian!
