QUEEN MARABELLA: Once upon a
time in the land of Flutterfield,
there lived a Butterfly Fairy
named Mariposa.
She was the smartest fairy
in the land.
She read every book
she could find.
And the dashing Prince Carlos also
shared her love of reading.
Then, one day,
Mariposa discovered that the
magical lights in Flutterfield
were growing dimmer.
These lights protected Flutterfield
from the Skeezites,
monsters who eat
Butterfly Fairies.
The lights were going out
because Henna,
an evil Butterfly Fairy, had poisoned
Queen Marabella,
and it was the Queen's magic
that made the lights shine.
So, Mariposa and her friends
flew to the Bewilderness
on a quest for an antidote.
But along the way, they faced peril
and danger of all kinds.
When they finally arrived at the
Cave of Reflections,
Mariposa proved her courage
and earned the antidote.
When she did,
her wings grew larger
and even more beautiful.
Mariposa and her friends
returned to Flutterfield
to discover the Skeezites
attacking the Royal Palace.
Mariposa gave the antidote to the Queen,
who was instantly healed.
The magical lights returned, forcing
Henna and the Skeezites to flee.
Queen Marabella hailed Mariposa
and her friends as heroes,
which they are to this day.
(FAIRIES CHATTERING)
(GASPS)
Hey, Mariposa!
Hello, Mariposa!
Hi!
(BOTH GIGGLE)
WOMAN: Hey, Mariposa!
Oh, hello!
Morning, Mariposa.
Hi!
Hey, Mariposa!
Good morning.
Thanks for the
suggestion on the book.
Oh, no problem.
I'm glad you like it.
Wait till you read the sequel.
Mariposa. Excuse me.
Yes.
Sorry to bother you, but I was hoping
you might have a chance to say hello.
My daughter's a big fan.
Of mine?
I know all about how
you and your friends
got the big scary Skeezites
out of Flutterfield.
Oh, it wasn't just me, there were
lots of fairies who helped.
Willa helped.
Is it true you've read every
book in Flutterfield?
(LAUGHS) Well, not every one,
but there's still time.
Will you sign my book?
Really? Okay.
And whenever you're looking
for a book recommendation,
come by the Royal
Library in the palace.
I'm there every day.
I will, for sure!
Thanks so much, Mariposa!
You're welcome.
See you later.
Bye!
Hey! How come I never
get an autograph?
(CHUCKLES) Because
you never have a pen!
You must be the most
famous librarian ever.
"Royal Historian. "
And I chose the best
job in the world.
I get to spend all day with the biggest
collection of books in Flutterfield.
(SIGHS) It's perfect.
(ZEE SCREAMING)
(FAIRIES CLAMORING)
(THUDDING)
(LAUGHING) Easy, Zee.
I'm right here.
What is it?
(CHITTERING EXCITEDLY)
The Queen?
Did she say why?
(CHITTERING CONSPIRATORIALLY)
(SHOUTS)
That would be a surprise, since
it's not Mariposa's birthday.
Let's go find out.
Zee, lead the way!
(CHITTERING)
(CHITTERING TEASINGLY)
(SMOOCHING)
Zee!
(LAUGHS)
Huh? (CHITTERS)
Mariposa.
Thank you for coming.
Of course, Your Majesty.
Prince Carlos.
Good morning, Mariposa.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Oh! Lord Gastrous.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Mariposa, tell me, what do you
know about Crystal Fairies?
The Crystal Fairies?
From Shimmervale?
Crystal Fairies? Yuck!
Well...
Huh? (GRUNTS)
Their land is built
on an amazing
natural energy source
called Crystallites,
and the Crystallites heat and power
everything in their realm.
See, Mother, I told you she'd be
the perfect choice.
Hardly.
She hasn't mentioned
that they're vicious, vile,
and the sworn enemies
of the Butterfly Fairies.
With all due respect,
Lord Gastrous,
I don't believe
that to be true.
Ah-ha! You see?
Misinformation!
I've been around long enough
to know who our enemies are.
Mariposa, Crystal Fairies
are scary and cruel.
Everyone knows that.
Only because that's what
we've been led to believe.
It's what's in our fairy tales.
But the real history is different.
Look.
MARIPOSA: Centuries ago,
Butterfly and Crystal Fairies were allies.
Then, the Crystal Fairy King
accused the Butterfly Fairies
of trying to steal
their Crystallites.
The Butterfly Fairies denied it,
the Crystal Fairies
didn't believe them,
and everyone got
angrier and angrier
until the two sides declared
themselves eternal enemies,
and vowed never
to have contact again.
Okay, but what about the part
where the Crystal Fairies
grind the Butterfly Fairies'
wings to make their bread?
Where's the picture of that?
You won't find it.
It never happened.
Preposterous!
Your Majesty, the girl has no
idea what she's talking about!
But I do!
Your Majesty,
all the horrible stories about
Crystal Fairies are just that,
stories.
This is history.
And it's exactly the thing on which
we should base our decisions.
Research, not hearsay.
I'm convinced.
Mariposa, you shall
leave for Shimmervale
as Flutterfield's
Royal Ambassador.
You will live with the Royal Family
for one week,
and prove that...
(CLEARS THROAT)
...Butterfly Fairies and Crystal
Fairies can be friends.
Huh?
What?
But Crystal Fairies
are dangerous!
If Mariposa goes there,
she'll be...
Welcomed as an
honored guest.
That's what King Regellius
assures me.
The Crystal Fairies will love you,
Mariposa. I know it.
But, who will look after
the Royal Library?
Willa can manage that.
She can?
I can?
(CHITTERING INQUISITIVELY)
Of course she can.
And I will help also.
I...
I'm sorry. I can't.
Your Majesty.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
(CHITTERING NERVOUSLY)
Mariposa!
(SNORING)
(SIGHS)
Ah, Willa told me
I'd find you here.
Hello, Carlos.
(CHITTERING GROGGILY)
Ooh!
Why won't you go
to Shimmervale?
I don't think
I'm ambassador material.
Oh, but you are
the smartest fairy I know.
You've read every book
on Shimmervale.
Yeah, I'm great with books.
But making peace
with the Crystal Fairies?
I can't do that.
But I know
you'll win them over.
But what if I don't?
What if I say
or do the wrong thing?
What if I make
things worse?
You won't. We all believe in you.
Just be yourself.
And remember, the best way to
make a friend, is to be a friend.
Hmm.
Oh! I almost forgot. My mother
asked me to give this to you.
Ooh.
It's beautiful.
It's a Flutter Flower.
It's made from the most
precious magic of Flutterfield.
Whenever you have doubts,
just take it out
and it will remind you of us.
I'll go.
Please, thank
the Queen for me.
You'll be welcomed on the
outskirts of Shimmervale.
Guess I'll see you
when I get back, then.
Bye, Carlos.
Goodbye.
And good luck!
ZEE: Goodbye!
Goodbye!
Okay, Mondays, the new
manuscripts come in.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays,
you need to lead the guided tours.
On Wednesdays, the tapestries
get touched up and cleaned,
and on Fridays,
we read to the elderly.
Did you get all that?
Yes. I think so.
Uh, what was that thing you said?
After "Monday"?
There! Is there
anything I forgot?
Um... Your clothes?
Oh, right. (CHUCKLES)
Hmm.
I'm on it.
(ZEE CHITTERING)
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS)
(MUTTERING)
Oh, Zee.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(GRUMBLES)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Come on!
(ALL GRUNTING)
(STRAINING)
(BOTH PANTING)
Piece of cake.
(SIGHS) Thanks.
Wish me luck.
Be careful, okay?
I will!
Good luck.
Okay, Zee,
we're ready to go!
Zee?
Looks like one of your books
doesn't want to go.
Zee.
You're not afraid of the
Crystal Fairies, are you?
Mmm-mmm.
Mmm-hmm.
Zee, it'll be fine.
There are no stories about
Crystal Fairies eating puffballs.
(WHIMPERS)
Come on. Let's go
have an adventure!
(LAUGHING
NERVOUSLY)
(CHUCKLING)
(ZEE GIGGLING)
Ooh.
(GASPS)
Yay!
(ZEE CHUCKLING)
(CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHING)
(CHITTERING INQUISITIVELY)
Hello?
Boo!
(SCREAMS)
(SIGHS)
(LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES) Huh?
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(GASPS)
(SCREAMS)
(CHUCKLES)
Shimmervale; A History says,
"Diplomats to Shimmervale
receive a grand welcome,
"including a parade, marching band,
and fireworks. "
Ooh.
Ooh.
(CHIRPING CELEBRATORY TUNE)
(ZEE IMITATING FIREWORKS)
(MARIPOSA GASPS)
This is the meeting spot, Zee!
(CHITTERING SUSPICIOUSLY)
Hmm, we're right on time.
ZEE: Huh? Hmm.
(RUSTLING)
(SCREAMS)
(GROANS)
(CHUCKLES)
Is someone there?
(WHIMPERING)
Hello?
(GASPS) Don't hurt me!
Of course we won't hurt you.
I'm Mariposa, from Flutterfield,
and this is Zee.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
You're not going to hypnotize
me with your wicked magic,
then lure me back to your dark,
dismal cave and...
(CHITTERING INQUISITIVELY)
Um... No.
(LAUGHS) Oh, goody!
I'm Talayla.
Your butterfly wings
are so beautiful!
Thanks, I like yours too.
Ooh!
Look! How cute.
(GASPS) Is that
your war beast?
War beast?
No.
Then, yay! How cute!
(GRUMBLING)
So, is this the grand welcome?
(CHIRPING CELEBRATORY TUNE)
(IMITATING FIREWORKS)
Oh, that. Sorry.
The flying band was too afraid
to come meet you.
(SINGING TRAILS OFF)
Ah. It's okay.
Huh?
(SIGHS)
Come on. I'll show you both
all around Shimmervale!
I mean...
(CLEARS THROAT)
In the name of his
Royal King Regellius,
it is my privilege to give you an
official tour of our fair land.
(GIGGLING) Let's go!
(CHITTERING INQUISITIVELY)
(LAUGHING)
Meh.
Welcome to Shimmervale City.
(BOTH GASPING)
(ZEE PANTING)
Ooh!
And I see every
roof has a Crystallite,
the main source of heat and
power here in Shimmer...
(LAUGHING)
That's my line.
Sorry.
As you can see, every roof
has a Crystallite,
the main source of heat and power
here in Shimmervale.
(WOMAN GASPS)
MAN: It's a Butterfly Fairy!
(GASPS)
(GASPS)
Hmm?
Follow me.
TALAYLA: Next stop,
GlowWater Falls!
Wait.
(PANTING)
Here it is.
Historians say this...
Historians say
this is where Shimmervale's first
residents discovered Crystallites.
MARIPOSA: Wow!
MARIPOSA: I never thought I'd say this,
but pictures don't do it justice.
Yup. It's why
we end the tour here.
(PANTING)
Zee? Are you okay?
(PANTING)
Aw, am I going too fast for you,
little puffer?
(PANTING)
And now to the palace,
where you'll be staying.
(CHITTERING NERVOUSLY)
(LAUGHING) Come on.
(PANTING)
Wow.
(GASPING)
The castle was built
over 4,000 years ago
under the reign of
King Fremulous the Fourth.
His wife, Queen Safrila, designed
much of what we still see today.
CATANIA: Hey!
Huh?
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Up here!
(SNORTING)
Hi.
(GROWLING)
(SCREAMING)
(GROWLING)
(BOTH GASPING)
Anu! You're
scaring her!
(GRUMBLING)
Ah, you're Mariposa,
aren't you?
The Butterfly Fairy?
Yes.
I'm Catania.
Oh, it must be so terrifying,
flying across Fairytopia to get here.
CATANIA: Were you scared?
Scared? I don't know,
it was more...
REGELLIUS: Catania,
away from the window!
Ah, I've got to go.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome to the kingdom.
(SNARLING)
Hey!
(LAUGHING)
(GROWLING)
(LAUGHING)
(GROANING)
TALAYLA: There you are.
I thought I lost another
visitor on the tour.
I'll never live
that down.
Anyhoo, let's show
you to your room.
MARIPOSA: Zee! Come on!
(GROWLING)
Ooh!
(LAUGHING)
Yo!
Tah-dah!
Cuckoo!
(ZEE GIGGLING)
And now...
Tah-dah!
(GASPING)
Wow!
MARIPOSA: It's...
(SPLUTTERING IN DISGUST)
I decorated it myself.
Really interesting.
I based it on everything we Crystal
Fairies know about Butterfly Fairies.
That was thoughtful.
Do the trees in Flutterfield
really come alive,
snatch the fairies in midair,
and devour them?
What? No!
These don't do that,
do they?
Nah, I couldn't figure out how
to make it work.
(SIGHS)
(SCREAMS)
I did put in hidden thorns,
though! (GIGGLES)
Just like home.
(GRUMBLING)
(CLEARS THROAT)
And now it is my
extreme pleasure
to invite you to meet
His Royal Highness King Regellius,
and the
Royal Princess Catania.
Unless you want to stay here
and freshen up,
you know, where
it's familiar?
No, uh, we would be honored to meet
the king and princess.
(CHUCKLING)
Ready to meet the king?
I think so.
Please welcome
Mariposa,
Royal Ambassador
from Flutterfield!
(GROWLING)
(GROWLING)
I introduce King Regellius and
Princess Catania of Shimmervale!
(GASPS) Hey!
REGELLIUS: "Hey"?
Is that how you address
the Princess of Shimmervale?
No. I, uh...
I believe in Flutterfield it's
actually a term of deep respect.
Isn't that right?
Yes! Yes, it is.
(CLEARS THROAT)
"Hey," Your Majesties.
Hey.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Hey.
Hey.
(GROWLING)
(GROWLING)
Is that thing
growling at me?
A beastly, "How are you?"
in Flutterfield.
I see.
(GROWLING)
(SQUEAKS)
(CHUCKLES)
Cuckoo!
Clearly I have much to learn about
Butterfly Fairy customs.
Let's repair to
the terrace for tea.
Madam Ambassador.
Come on, Sylvie.
(NEIGHING)
(GROWLING)
(WHIMPERS)
(GROWLING)
Hmm.
(BURPING)
(SCOFFS)
(BOTH GROWLING)
(GRUNTING)
(BOTH GROANING)
Hey! Watch where
you're going!
You almost made me
spill my smoothie.
(GROANS)
Carlos!
Good morning!
It's afternoon, actually.
Oops. I slept in.
Then I stopped by Fluter's Bakery
for some Poof Pastries.
Breakie?
It's lunchtime.
Oh. (SCOFFS)
No breakfast for you then.
(LAUGHS)
(SLURPING)
Now, let's see.
Today's shipment of books
has already come in.
Check!
Inventory new books.
(CHUCKLES)
(SCREAMS)
(SIGHS) This could take a while.
(SLURPING)
Hmm.
(YELPS)
(ANU LAUGHING)
(GROWLING)
(HUMMING)
(CLEARS THROAT)
So, to defeat the Skeezites, your people
must be trained as warriors from birth.
Oh, no.
We're not warriors.
I mean, we have warriors,
but we're a very peaceful people.
More tea?
Please.
But I was under the impression
Butterfly Fairies were built for battle.
The armored scales,
the vice-like pincers, the fire breath!
Fire breath? Um...
Ah... We actually don't
have any of those.
Hmm.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
I love how the Crystallites
shimmer in the sun.
Don't touch that!
The Crystallites are only to
be touched by Crystal Fairies!
Oh! Of course.
I'm sorry,
if I could just...
Oh, excuse me.
(GROANS) My word!
(GASPS) Oh, no!
(SCREAMS)
(REGELLIUS GROANS)
(GROANS)
(SNICKERING)
Oh!
I'm so sorry.
This is awful.
MARIPOSA: Let me help.
Ooh! My bad.
Oh, sorry!
(GULPS)
(SMACKING LIPS)
Ah. (GROANS)
Here, allow me.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Thank you.
Oh!
(GASPS) Did I get you?
Here, let me see.
Please.
I prefer you didn't!
(SIGHING)
Perhaps, Madam Ambassador,
it would be best if you simply sat down.
And moved a bit farther
back from the table.
Of course, Your Majesty.
(CHAIR SCRAPING)
Perhaps, just
a little farther.
(CHAIR SCRAPING)
A bit more...
(CHAIR SCRAPING)
More.
(CHAIR SCRAPING)
Teeny bit farther.
(CHAIR SCRAPING)
Perfect.
I'm sorry. What?
I said, thank you!
(GROANING)
(GASPS) Oh, no!
(WATER SPLASHING)
(GRUNTS)
This Royal Tea is over!
Come, Catania!
(SIGHS)
(BOTH CHITTERING)
Well, that went better than expected.
Don't you think?
(SIGHS)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(GROANING)
Now is the time, Boris.
Eight years of
planning my revenge.
Eight years to hone my magic
and become even more powerful.
Eight years of talk
and no action.
When are we gonna get
to the revenging?
Silence!
I need to concentrate.
Yes.
(GASPS) Yes!
Look at it! It's beautiful!
Beautiful?
Personally, I prefer things
to be shinier, you know?
Sparkly,
like a piece of jewelry,
or a lake!
That's really shiny, with sun sparkling...
(MUFFLED)
Beautiful because
it's completely destroyed!
(GROANING)
GWYLLION: Soon all of
Shimmervale's Crystallites
will have had
their final glow.
(BOTH LAUGHING EVILLY)
(SNORING)
(YELPING)
(WHIMPERING)
(SCREAMS)
(WHIMPERING)
(CHITTERING)
Can't sleep, Zee?
(CHITTERING IN FRUSTRATION)
I know. I couldn't
sleep either.
(GRUNTING)
There's just so much more to learn
about Shimmervale.
I can't have anymore
tea disasters.
(GRUMBLING)
Hmm.
It says here that outsiders are forbidden
to touch a Crystallite,
especially the Heartstone,
which is the most powerful Crystallite
in Shimmervale.
That's why the king
was so upset at tea.
(GRUMBLING)
(LAUGHING) Sorry, Zee,
but I'm not tired
and this light just makes
me feel like I'm at home.
(GASPS)
(LAUGHING)
Hey!
Why, you...
Oh!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(SNORING)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Good morning.
Mariposa?
(SCREAMS)
(SCREAMS)
Whoa!
Ready for your introduction to the
people of Shimmervale?
Huh?
Huh?
We don't want to keep the king and
princess waiting,
not to mention an entire kingdom
of Crystal Fairies!
I'll never live that down.
One minute!
(SNORING)
(GRUMBLING)
(CHUCKLING) Come on.
(NEIGHING)
(LAUGHING)
(GRUMBLES)
Mariposa, before our conversation was
interrupted yesterday,
you were about to enlighten me as to
your weapons training
and hand-to-hand
combat skills.
Combat skills?
Yes, the ones you used to fight the
Skeezites, of course.
Oh. Well, it never really
came down to "battle. "
Rayla, Rayna
and I met Zinzie,
and then we all flew
to the Bewilderness,
where we found clues
leading us to the mermaids
who told us to fly east to the
Cave of Reflection...
If you don't want to
tell me, just say so!
I'm sorry, I'm not
trying to be evasive.
(GRUNTS)
Shimmervale City,
Your Highness.
(NEIGHING)
Please welcome Mariposa,
Royal Ambassador from Flutterfield!
Well, it looks like
everyone is busy today.
(DOOR OPENING)
We're not busy!
Well, it appears
my subjects are
preoccupied.
(DOOR CLOSING)
MAN: No, we're not!
(SIGHS)
Oh!

(BOTH SCREAMING)
She's attacking
the King!
(FAIRIES CLAMORING)
(BOTH GROANING)
(GRUNTS)
I'm sorry!
Your crown,
Your Majesty.
(SIGHS)
Perhaps you beat the Skeezites by
tripping over them.
There will be more
people here tomorrow.
I'm sure of it.
(DOOR SHUTTING)
MAN: No, there won't!
(DOOR SHUTTING)
(SIGHS)
We're flying. We're flying.
We're flying.
And mother thought two years in
art school was a waste of time.
And we're stopping.
(CHUCKLES)
(CLEARS THROAT)
A long time ago,
I forget how long,
our fairy forefathers built Flutterfield
on top of a putrid swamp.
Ah, but Miss?
It says that Flutterfield was built
on a magnificent and exquisite garden.
Yeah. Moving on.
Okay, over here you'll see our
resident mural
guy painting some
kind of picture?
ALL: Ooh!
(CARLOS CHUCKLING)
Willa, you're not supposed to bring
the visitors back here.
Please stand back,
this is a very fragile...
(GASPING)
...tapestry.
Okay, people.
We're flying, we're flying.
MAN 1: You're not very
good at this, are you?
MAN 2: When's Mariposa
coming back?
WOMAN: Can I get a refund?
(SNORING)
(YAWNING)
Huh?
(CHUCKLING)
(BLOWING A RASPBERRY)
(HUMMING)
Good morning, Zee!
(SCREAMING)
Ow, ow, ow.
(CHUCKLING)
Today will be better, Zee.
(SIGHING) Oh!
I just know it!
Good morning!
Here's your dress.
(SCREAMS)
My dress?
The king has asked me to invite
you to the Annual Crystal Ball.
Crystal Ball?
What's that?
Just the biggest
social event of the year.
Everyone comes to
the palace to celebrate!
That's perfect.
I'll win over the
citizens of Shimmervale
and the king will see that
we can all get along.
Do you know where
I can find the king?
I want to thank him
for the invitation.
(IMITATING AIRPLANE ENGINE)
(IMITATING GUN FIRING)
Now where is my
third flying battalion?
(CHITTERING)
Ah, yes. Thank you.
When you're responsible
for the kingdom, Catania,
it will be important that
you position your guards
at all the strategic locations from
which an enemy could attack.
Oh, yes.
Mmm-hmm.
Your Majesty!
Oh, Mariposa.
Your Highness, thank you for the invitation.
I'm very honored.
I wanted to know
if you want me to, well,
address your
subjects at the ball.
I bring greetings
from Queen Marabella,
and I could simply say
that everyone in Flutterfield
sends their good wishes.
(IMITATING GUNFIRE)
(CHITTERING)
(GROWLING)
Let's see how it goes
at the ball, Mariposa,
and perhaps you can
address the people.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
(YELPS)
(WHIMPERING)
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
(GROWLING)
(ZEE SCREAMS)
Zee! No!
Oh, no!
(RUMBLING)
Now, look at what
you've done!
I'm so sorry. Here,
let me help you pick those up.
(GRUNTING)
Honestly, I'm not even sure why I agreed
to this arrangement.
Father, it was an accident.
And those wings!
They're a menace!
Can't you do
anything about them?
Do anything?
Um, I guess I...
Better.
Keep them that way.
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry.
It's just he...
Hmm.
I'll talk to him.
Father!
Keep them this way?
(GROANING) Ow.
That could be difficult.
(SIGHS)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(GWYLLION LAUGHING EVILLY)
You wanted to see me,
Your Majesty?
Oh, yes.
(CLEARS THROAT)
I want you to stay close to Mariposa
at the ball, Talayla.
It's our most important celebration and
I don't want anything to go wrong.
Yes, Sire.
(GWYLLION LAUGHING)
You see, Boris?
Patience is a virtue.
Everyone in Shimmervale,
all in one place.
Sharpen your talons,
my friend. We go tonight.
Oh, I'm a-sharpenin'.
I'm a-sharpenin'.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(CREAKING)
(SCREAMING)
(BABBLING)
Sorry.
(SIGHS)
(SIGHING)
Oh!
Wow!
Ooh! (LAUGHING)
Did I get it right?
You did this?
You worked so hard
to learn about us,
the least we could do
is return the favor.
(CHITTERING)
Hmm.
(CHITTERING DISAPPOINTEDLY)
Is it anything like home?
It's perfect.
I've actually been
reading up on Flutterfield
since I found out
you were coming.
You have?
I love to read.
Sometimes I feel like I never want
to leave the palace.
I'm perfectly happy spending
whole days lost in books.
Me too!
(GIGGLING)
I've noticed.
It's why I think
you'll like this.
Wow!
Catania! You did this?
Well, I had some help.
(CHITTERING PROUDLY)
(CHUCKLES)
(GASPS)
This is incredible!
Oh! I can't believe it.
Have you read this,
Flight of Fancy?
It's one of my
all-time favorites!
(GASPS) Mine too!
Grab it. I want
to show you something.
(WHISTLING)
(NEIGHING)
(CHUCKLES) It's okay, Sylvie.
We can trust Mariposa.
(SNORTS)
Follow us!
(NEIGHING)
This is my
favorite place to read.
Wow.
It's beautiful.
(LAUGHING) Come on up!
Isn't that a Crystallite?
Only the most important one
in all the land.
Come on!
This is the Heartstone,
isn't it?
It's the most powerful
Crystallite we have.
I feel safe
when I'm near it.
Like nothing can harm me.
Harm you?
Who would want to harm you?
Um, it must be hard being away
from Flutterfield.
Do you miss it?
A little, but I'm really enjoying getting
to explore Shimmervale.
I can't wait to see
GlowWater Falls again.
I... I haven't
been there in years.
You're kidding. Years?
Since I was eight.
Why not?
I don't know.
Let's go now.
(NEIGHING)
Now? You just said you haven't
been there in years.
Don't you miss it?
A lot.
But the Crystal Ball
is this afternoon.
We need time to get ready.
We'll be quick. We'll be back
in two wingflaps.
(BOTH CHITTERING)
Okay, just for a little bit.
(NEIGHING)
I understand, Sylvie.
But you'll be right there with me.
(SNORTS)
(NEIGHING)
(BOTH CHEERING)
(CHITTERING PLAYFULLY)
MARIPOSA: Wow.
You think this is amazing?
Follow me.
(GASPING)
I didn't think getting closer could
possibly make it any more amazing but...
(INHALES) It did!
Ooh!
Have you ever skipped
Rainbow Rocks?
(GIGGLING) How would
I have ever skipped Rainbow Rocks?
(MUSICAL NOTES PLAYING)
Whoa.
(CHITTERS)
Oh!
You try.
(MUSICAL NOTES PLAYING)
Whoo-hoo!
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
You're a natural!
(MUSICAL NOTES PLAYING)
(MUSICAL NOTES PLAYING)
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(BOTH CHITTERING PLAYFULLY)
(SIGHS)
I've missed this place.
Why has it been so long?
Does it have anything
to do with why you don't fly?
(SYLVIE NEIGHING)
It's okay, you don't have to
talk about it if you don't want to.
No, I do want to.
I was eight years old.
(LAUGHING)
CATANIA: My father and I
were having a picnic
when we saw something
down below.
It was an old woman.
She wasn't from Shimmervale,
but she was poking around
the Crystallites.
(GRUNTING ANGRILY)
My father confronted her.
She asked for a Crystallite.
I knew what my father
would say. He told me all the time.
"Our responsibility
is to the Crystal Fairies.
"If we let other creatures
have Crystallites,
"we could end up without enough
for our own subjects. "
So your father said no.
Mmm-hmm.
What did the old woman do?
Well...
You dare deny the Gwyllion?
(STRAINING) I can't move!
You had your chance. Now you owe me
all your Crystallites.
CATANIA: Daddy!
Catania, go back!
(LAUGHING) Even more
precious to you.
(GASPS)
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
(GASPS)
(GRUNTS)
(LAUGHING)
(CATANIA STRAINING)
Say goodbye
to your little one.
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING)
(GROWLING)
Madam? Uh, Mistress?
Uh, Gwyllion? Look out!
Gah! My spell
was too weak.
Get him!
I'm a-gettin' him.
I'm a-gettin' him.
(SHOUTING)
(GRUNTS)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Hey, watch your hands,
would ya?
BORIS: Oh!
Let me go!
You're mine now!
Not if I can help it!
(STRAINING)
Get off of me!
Give me back my daughter!
No!
(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
(GASPS)
My staff!
Take her!
(CATANIA SCREAMS)
Daddy!
(GROANS)
Catania!
(WHIMPERING)
Got it!
(LAUGHING)
(GRUNTS)
You treat me with such disrespect?
You will regret this!
Yeah! You mess with us,
we'll mess with you, eh?
Ah, hey! Wait up! Gwyllion!
CATANIA: Both my wings
were broken.
They healed,
but I haven't flown since.
What happened
to the Gwyllion?
She never came back.
Are you worried she will?
My father worries
about it a lot.
It's the real reason
he allowed you to come.
He wants advice
on fighting the Gwyllion.
But he could have just asked
Queen Marabella.
I'm sure she would have...
No.
He doesn't trust
Butterfly Fairies enough for that.
Do you?
Yes.
I want you to have this.
Catania, I...
I can't.
With our history,
no Butterfly Fairy should ever take
a Crystallite from Shimmervale.
You're not taking it.
It's a gift.
Oh!
Thank you. I have
something for you too.
It's so pretty!
It's a Flutter Flower.
I thought I needed it
to remind me of home.
Maybe after I leave,
it can remind you of me.
Oh!
Thank you.
Huh?
(CHITTERING CURIOUSLY)
Whoa!
Whoa!
(NEIGHING)
(GASPS) The Crystal Ball!
We need to go get ready!
Whoo-hoo!
(CHIRPING CELEBRATORY TUNE)
(SIGHS)
(WILLA EXHALING)
My wings feel like they've been
flapping for days.
Oh, it's been a long week.
But I think we did it.
Mmm.
I think you're right.
Mariposa's gonna be so impressed.
This wasn't so hard.
Now, how did the reading
to the elderly go?
I was just gonna ask you
the same thing.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
(CRASHING)
(BOTH GROANING)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Uh, come in.
(GASPS) Oh, no!
What's wrong?
I came to get you for the ball,
and you're not even ready!
Sure I am.
But, but...
You're not beshimmered!
Hmm?
(WHISTLES)
(SNEEZING)
ALL: Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Mmm-mmm-mmm!
(ALL CHIRPING)
Ooh!
(ALL CHIRPING HAPPILY)
(GIGGLING) We do this in Flutterfield too,
only we call it befluttering!
ALL: Bye.
Thank you.
What do you think?
Whoa!
(SCREAMS)
I'll work on it on the
way to the Crystal Ball.
(BALLROOM MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHITTERING)
(MUSIC VOLUME INCREASES)
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
(INHALES) Wow.
Ooh!
(CHUCKLES)
Uh-oh.
(GASPS)
Oh, no! How can you enjoy
the ball if you can't fly?
CATANIA: I know how.
Your wings!
If you have to fold down your wings,
I will too.
(GIGGLING) What do you think?
Beautiful.
Thank you. My pleasure,
Your Ambassadoress.
Oops! (GIGGLING)
Still working on that.
(LAUGHS)
(SYLVIE NEIGHING)
MARIPOSA: Just an intimate
gathering with a couple of close friends?
I told you. Everyone comes
to the Crystal Ball.
(CHUCKLES) I'd be surprised
if anyone isn't here.
What is it?
Mmm, nothing.
It's just, I always
loved dancing, until...
So, we'll dance!
But I don't...
Take us down please, Sylvie!
(NEIGHING)
(SINGING)
Oh!
Wow!
Caramel toffee dumpling?
(CHITTERING ENTHUSIASTICALLY)
(GROWLING)
Huh?
(CHITTERING INQUISITIVELY)
(MUFFLED CHITTERING)
(SPITTING)
ALL: Ew!
(CHITTERING AFFIRMATIVELY)
(BOTH GIGGLE)
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
Let's dance!
But we're the only
ones down here.
What if everyone stares?
What if they do?
Come on, it's fun!
(LAUGHING)
You're right,
this is fun!
Told you!
Huh?
(GIGGLING)
(ALL GIGGLING)
WOMAN: Oh! Look at that.
What are they doing?
(ALL MURMURING)
(ALL CHEERING)
(GASPS) Whoa!
Oh, no.
(GIGGLING) It's fine.
Now I know how it feels.
(GASPS)
That Butterfly Fairy
has a Crystallite!
(ALL GASPING)
She must have
stolen it!
What? No!
I knew we couldn't
trust them!
Look out
for her fire breath!
(ALL CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)
Enough!
(WHIMPERS)
Mariposa,
you stole a Crystallite,
after we welcomed you.
And trusted you.
No, Your Highness.
I gave it to her!
We were at GlowWater Falls
earlier and...
You went to GlowWater Falls
unprotected?
I know.
But Mariposa and I...
She's a Butterfly Fairy,
and in no position to know what's
best for a Crystal Fairy Princess!
We weren't doing
anything wrong.
I understand why you're
so protective, but...
You know nothing!
You don't know what it's like to be
responsible for a kingdom.
You don't know how to protect us,
so we have to protect ourselves.
Leave! Immediately!
Leave? The ballroom?
Leave Shimmervale!
And never come back!
Father!
Not now, Catania.
As you wish, Your Majesty.
(WHIMPERING)
(WHIMPERS)
But Father,
I gave it to her!
Even more reason to separate
you from an obviously bad influence.
Ugh.
(NEIGHING)
It's all right, people.
The Butterfly Fairy threat is over.
Smile! Dance! Enjoy!
(ALL MURMURING)
(BALLROOM MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIGHS)
(SIGHS)
I don't know what's worse.
That I failed, or that I have to go home
and admit it to people who believed in me.
(WIND WHOOSHING)
What is that?
I thought everyone
was already at the ball?
(CHITTERING)
(YELPS)
We can't just go.
What if it's dangerous?
What if...
(MARIPOSA GASPS)
What if it's
the Gwyllion?
(CHITTERING APPREHENSIVELY)
(CHITTERING)
Zee!
(CHITTERING IN PROTEST)
I know the king told us to leave,
but we have to warn them.
Uh-uh.
Zee! We have to help the Crystal Fairies.
They're our friends.
(CHITTERING IN PROTEST)
Catania's our friend.
And Sylvie.
Are you going to tell me
that Anu isn't a friend?
(CHITTERING HESITANTLY)
If the king and the other Crystal Fairies
aren't our friends now,
well, I'm going to be a friend when
they need one most.
(MOANING)
Shimmervale, your day of reckoning
has finally come.
Whoa! You're so wicked!
(LAUGHING)
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
(GASPS)
Ahh.
Well, look what
we have here, Boris.
Oh, so shiny.
(LAUGHS EVILLY)
Not for long!
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
(BALLROOM MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIGHS)
Ugh! I don't understand?
He's the one who doesn't understand, Anu.
(CHITTERING IN AGREEMENT)
(GASPS) No.
It can't be!
(GASPS)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
What?
Oh, no.
MARIPOSA: Catania!
Mariposa?
I think it's the Gwyllion!
She's putting out all the Crystallites!
(GASPS) If she turns all the Crystallites
to rock, Shimmervale will freeze!
(ALL GASPING)
(ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
(STRAINING)
(GASPS) Father! No!
(LAUGHING)
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
Gwyllion!
One Crystallite!
That's all it would have taken.
Stop, Gwyllion!
Have mercy on us!
Yes, I will show you the same mercy you
showed me. (LAUGHS EVILLY)
(PANICKED CHATTERING)
Now witness as I destroy
your most precious stone of all!
(GASPS)
The Heartstone!
Huh?
(CHITTERING IN SURPRISE)
The Heartstone
is like a candle,
if we keep it lit, we can re-light all
the other Crystallites.
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
(GASPS) The Gwyllion!
(WHIMPERS)
She's going to
get to it first!
What do we do now?
We do what your father did.
We find a way to break her magic staff.
But how do we...
(SCREAMS)
You guys are
lousy hiders, eh?
(SHOUTING)
(SCREAMING)
Catania!
(NEIGHING)
(SCREAMING)
(PANTING)
(GRUNTS)
BORIS: You're not gonna get away
from me this time, Princess!
We have to do something.
Oh, yeah! Oh!
(NEIGHING)
Shimmervale, for your selfishness
I leave you with nothing!
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
(BORIS SCREAMING)
(NEIGHING)
(GASPS)
(BORIS GRUNTING)
(CATANIA PANTING)
(NEIGHING)
(GASPS)
(CLANGING)
(NEIGHING)
Sylvie!
Whoa!
(SCREAMING)
(NEIGHING)
Oh, yeah, right?
(LAUGHS) Yeah!
(GROANS) What?
Hey!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(GRUNTING)
What? (SCREAMING)
(GROANING)
(MUFFLED STRAINING)
Are you all right?
I am, but Sylvie's
wing is hurt.
She'll be okay,
she just can't fly.
(GWYLLION LAUGHING EVILLY)
Oh, no!
Catania?
Fly with me.
I can't. I don't fly.
And it's the Gwyllion.
You can do this,
Catania. Be brave.
I'm not brave.
I'm scared.
I can't.
Stay here.
(CHITTERING INQUISITIVELY)
Of course. Go.
Thank you.
(LAUGHS EVILLY)
I can feel it!
Not too much longer.
Gwyllion! Stop!
(STRAINING)
(GRUNTS)
(GASPS)
Boris! Get her!
(GRUNTS)
(LAUGHING)
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
(BOTH SHOUTING)
Boris, get them!
(GRUNTING)
(BOTH SQUEAK)
Nice try, puffballs!
Yeah, you better run! Ha!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(LAUGHS EVILLY)
Well done, Boris.
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
No!
(GRUNTS)
(GASPS) Mariposa! No!
(NEIGHING)
Huh?
(STRAINING)
No more interruptions!
It's happening!
It's happening!
(LAUGHS EVILLY)
No!
Catania!
(BOTH STRAINING)
You won't stop me
this time, little one.
(SCREAMING)
Boris, help me!
(GASPS)
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTS)
(SCREAMING)
(ALL MURMURING)
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(BOTH GROANING)
You made it!
Not fast enough.
It's too late. Look!
(SHUDDERING)
It's so cold.
Catania, look!
(CATANIA GASPS)
The Flutter Flower.
(GASPS)
Hmm, I wonder.
Huh?
Huh?
I thought maybe...
(GASPS)
Keep holding it
close to the Heartstone!
(STRAINING)
It's working!
(CHITTERING EXCITEDLY)
(GASPS)
The other Crystallites!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
(BOTH GIGGLING)
Whoa!
Whoa!
Your wings.
Your wings.
Ooh!
Ooh!
(BOTH CHITTERING)
(BOTH GIGGLING)
(CHITTERING)
CATANIA: Father!
Catania!
You're flying!
And your wings, they're beautiful!
(GIGGLES) Thank you.
I'm so, so proud of you.
And you, Mariposa,
I owe you an apology.
I misjudged you.
I was wrong.
BORIS: Mistress, come on!
Get up, eh?
We still got a chance!
You can do this!
(GROANING)
My staff!
Where's my staff?
It's gone, Gwyllion. Just like you'll be
when I'm done with you.
REGELLIUS: Any last words?
Father, no!
You mustn't harm her.
What? Remember why
all this happened.
The Gwyllion asked us
for one Crystallite.
One. And we have so many,
but we said no.
And that gives her
the right to destroy us?
No, not at all. But destroying
her isn't right either.
What do you
suggest we do?
What we should have done
in the first place.
(CHITTERING INQUISITIVELY)
She's being a friend,
and maybe making one too.
I'm giving you your freedom,
and a chance to start over.
I know that's not always easy,
so maybe this will help.
You... You're giving me a Crystallite?
After everything I did?
I'm righting a wrong.
I...
I don't know
what to say.
Oh!
Oh!
Thank you.
I hope I can live up
to your faith in me.
You're kidding me, right?
Come on, we had 'em!
You changed.
You used to be cool.
(LAUGHING) Come, my pet.
We have much to think about.
(GRUNTS IN DISGUST)
Hey, if you don't want your shiny things
any more, can I have 'em?
You may be a child,
but in some ways you're wiser
than I'll ever be.
Thank you, Father.
BOTH: Aww!
(SNIFFLING)
I would like to
repay your kindness.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Hmm. There is one thing
you can do for me.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHITTERING)
(CHITTERING HAPPILY)
(CLEARS THROAT)
(CHITTERING)
Mmm-hmm.
(GIGGLING)
Mother, this is King Regellius
of Shimmervale.
King Regellius, my mother,
Queen Marabella of Flutterfield.
Your Highness.
I mean, "Hey!"
(CHUCKLING)
Uh, hey?
It's an honor to
meet you, Your Highness.
You're not concerned
about my fire breath?
(CHUCKLES) Your Majesty,
I am ashamed that I ever thought...
Our myths about you
were just as silly.
But it's all in
the past now.
It's a privilege
to have you here.
And I wanted
to give you this.
An offering
of peace and goodwill.
(GASPS) Is that a Crystallite? It's even
more beautiful than Mariposa described.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
May I have this dance?
Why, yes, I'd love to.
(HUMMING)
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
WILLA: No way!
Watch! Ready?
Ready.
(GRUNTS IN SURPRISE)
(ALL GIGGLING)
Seriously? You knocked the king's crown
off his head with your wing?
(CHUCKLES) Whoa!
Well, it was an accident!
I've never seen
his face that red.
I have. But not since I accidentally
put lava sauce in his fluffle muffins.
ALL: Ew!
I'll never live
that down. (GIGGLES)
I almost forgot. How'd everything
go at the Royal Library?
Not much trouble, I hope?
Um...
Are you kidding? (CHUCKLES)
It was a breeze. No trouble at all.
Hey! There's that
awful tour guide.
We want our money back.
Uh-oh. I have to,
uh, freshen up.
WOMAN: Hey! Come back here!
(CHUCKLES)
I just wanted
to tell you again
how impressed I am by everything
you accomplished.
Thank you, Carlos. I couldn't have done it
without the Flutter Flower.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
Care to dance?
I'd love to.
(BOTH CHEERING)
See. What did
I tell ya?
Made for each other.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Well, I can see clearly
that my ideas of the Crystal Fairies
were farfetched indeed!
You are in no way
vicious or vile.
Why thank you,
Lord Gastrous.
Boo!
(SHOUTS)
(ALL GIGGLE)
Hmm. Right.
Oh, I love this song.
Do you dance?
I do now.
Then come on!
You want to get your groove on to this,
Lord Gastrous?
What? No. I, uh, never...
(SCREAMS)
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(BOTH CHITTERING HAPPILY)
(SMOOCHES)
Oh!
