Also, to fully understand these characters, please the first story, "The Blue Fairy," where they were introduced.

EXT. UP IN THE CLOUDS. – DAY.
Blue Fairy (sighs): It just makes me sad.
Her cousin, the Red Fairy, appears and taps her shoulder. He faces her grinning.
Red Fairy (shocked): Woah, what happened to you?
Blue Fairy (sighs again): It’s just, well, I am supposed to help, but have you seen that Trump and his goons are back?
Red Fairy (sighs): Yes, they like to think that they’re above others, but they have the Shidas (pronounced shit/as) touch.
Blue Fairy (looks up to meet his gaze): What is the Shidas Touch?
Red Fairy (pats his cousin’s head): Did you ever hear of the Midas Touch?
Blue Fairy (curious): I think so, but can you remind me?
The Red Fairy creates some magic and illustrates the story with glittery sparkle and the clouds.
Red Fairy (clears his throat): Once upon a time, back when the world was younger, there was a Greek king, named Midas. Well, basically, he loved gold, and after helping the god, Dionysus, he rewarded King Midas with whatever wish he desired. So, King Midas wished for a touch which would turn anything and everything into gold. At first, he saw it as treasure, but when he tried to eat, drink, or console a loved one, he realized it was a curse.
Blue Fairy: Oh, why that sounds like something that Puck would do!
Red Fairy (proudly): Did I tell you that I was his apprentice?
The little Blue Fairy claps and admires her cousin who feels further proud.
Blue Fairy (suddenly saddens): But, what does this have to do with Trump?
Red Fairy (consolingly): Don’t feel too heartbroken, little one! You see, this story is in many ways real!
Blue Fairy (looks up less dejectedly): Really?
Red Fairy (nods): You see there are many types of people in the world!
The Blue Fairy stares at her cousin eagerly.
Red Fairy (continues): You see, some people are made of a heart of diamond! They know the true worth of people and the world! Sometimes they even have a combination of gifts, like the golden touch or a green thumb!
The Blue Fairy tilts her head and stares at her cousin slightly confused.
Red Fairy (clear his throat): Like take Mr. Fred Hampton!
Blue Fairy (excited once more): I heard of him! He’s an angel and was an angel on earth!
Red Fairy: Exactly, Mr. Hampton had a heart of diamond and also the gift of a green thumb where he helped good deeds flourish and helped his community; his family continues that beautiful legacy.
Blue Fairy (raises her hand): Oh, so, President Benito Juarez also had that!
Red Fairy (claps): Yes, President Benito Juarez also had a heart of diamond and a green thumb!
Blue Fairy (gasps): What about Dr. Franz Boas?
Red Fairy (gives her a thumbs up): Yup, he had a heart of diamond and used to illuminate and destroy the falsehoods of the racist pseudoscience of his time!
The Blue Fairy looks on cheerfully.
Red Fairy (nods proudly): There were also so many amazing young women who also had heart of diamond and either a green or golden touch, like Dr. Maya Angelou, Marylin Monroe, Henrietta Lacks, Hanie Schaft, and Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey, to name a few.
Blue Fairy (nods in agreement): They were super cool!!
Red Fairy (nods and points his index finger): God really loved them, and a bit of their souls have been placed in today’s modern people, too!
Blue Fairy (surprised): Really??!!
Red Fairy (chuckles): You’re young, little cousin, but yes, God places a little bit or sometimes a lot of a good person’s soul in other for future generations.
Blue Fairy (interested): Ohhh!! Please name a few!
Red Fairy (ponders and relaxes): Well, to name a few, there’s Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, President Barack Obama and his family, and others.
Blue Fairy (claps and then saddens): Only politicians?
Red Fairy: No, also some celebrities! Like for example, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Josh Johnson, Dulce Sloan., and the other correspondents! As well as the South Park creators!
Blue Fairy (clapping): Oh yay! I like them!
Red Fairy (proudly): Also the people who work as their staff. Oh, let me think, there’s also Kristen Schaal, Will Poulter, Nicole Coughlan, and Diego Boneta!
Blue Fairy (nods): They’re also great people! But, what about –
Red Fairy: Of course! There’s also noncelebrity people who have done so much good work and continue to help others every day, especially during these trying times!
The Blue Fairy finally stands up next to her cousin proudly.
Red Fairy (continues): You see, you’re still young, but remember you were created out of the hope of good people. Right now, Trump think he’s strong, but in reality, he’s the weakest there ever has been, is, and will be.
Blue Fairy (nods): Because he has the Shidas touch?
Red Fairy (claps): Exactly, everything he touches turns to shit, but, and although it’s extra work, the good people will stay and rise up to point out this merdre; eventually, his world will come down; after all, what is made on a non-solid foundation always falls.
The little Blue Fairy wipes a tear away.
Blue Fairy (happily): Thank you; I needed that!
The Red Fairy gently pats her back.
Red Fairy (consolingly): Of course, little cousin. Hey, say what, why don’t we go meet Puck and ask him to help us prank those pseudo-power bullies, huh? What do you say? After all, Trump’s hand is already turning purple thanks to our previous power combination!
Blue Fairy (nods): Yes, please!!
BLACKOUT.
