Barbie: The Pearl Princess Page #3

we're completely booked on the Saturday.

- Why, certainly.

-Oh, Madame Ruckus.

Hang on, honey,

I can only do eight things at once.

Lumina, this is our chance to leave.

[GASPS]

Oh, Scylla's coming.

Uh, disguise hair.

- Whew.

-Argh.

That was close.

MADAME RUCKUS:

Wow.

You got the job.

A job?

I have a job.

Uh, what's a job?

But tell your friend

the wig's not a good look.

Huh?

Aah!

MADAME RUCKUS:

And here's your first customer.

Lunch break's at 1, we close at 5.

By the way, what's your name, hon?

Uh-- It's Lumina.

KUDA:

Okay, Scylla's gone.

Let's get out of here.

But I have a customer.

Remember the royal castle?

The reason we came here

in the first place?

You're right. But she needs me.

Just look.

[SCOFFS]

We'll leave right after this, Kuda.

Isn't it exciting? My first job.

So you're the new stylist, huh?

Well, newbie, I got two rules:

Keep your hands out of my tip jar, and

don't ever touch my lucky brush, okay?

Tip jar?

Don't let her scare you, honey.

That's Sandrine...

...and she's half barracuda. Ha, ha.

And this is Cora.

She does nails and tails.

Hi. I'm Lumina.

This is my friend Kuda.

Hi. We're just passing through.

Well, it's nice to meet you anyway.

Whoo, I am beat.

[PHONE RINGS]

Salon Du Mer.

Of course.

When would y'all like to come in, ma'am?

Got it. Mm-hm.

Can you do my hair like her?

Well, okay, if you want.

But you know what might look

even better on you?

I wanna look like her.

Piece of advice, newbie.

Just give them what they want.

Trust me,

they're all wearing the same hairstyle.

Certainly, certainly. Mm-hm.

[GASPS]

Lumina. No.

Hmm. Let me see your eyes.

[KUDA GASPS]

[GASPS]

That is so totally awesome!

I knew you'd like it.

Like it?

I love it!

GIRL 1:
Isn't that different!

GIRL 2:
It's wonderful.

GIRL 3:
I want something like that!

-I can't believe it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Ugh. Okay, so you got lucky.

Nobody saw that.

- Now can we go?

-Next.

I want my hairjust like you did hers.

Are you sure?

How about something special,

just for you?

Really?

CALIGO:

Have you briefed the men about the ball?

Yes, sir. Don't worry,

they know exactly what to do.

Splendid.

Everything is arranged.

The rest is up to you.

You will take the steward's place

at the ball...

...and serve the merberry nectar

to the royal party...

...including His Majesty.

The king will present

the Pearl of the Sea to my son...

...then drink the toast...

...then die.

I have what you need.

All that remains is to mix the brew.

You rid me of one pest

many years ago...

...now you'll rid me of another.

Oh, by the way...

...I understand you have a niece.

I have a goldfish too. What of it?

Please, give my regards

to both of them.

That is amazing.

[ALL GASPING]

Kuda, I'm gonna need

a lot more pearls.

Huh?

More pearls, more pearls.

Always more pearls.

CUSTOMER 1:
Are you sure

you can make my hair look like hers?

Yeah, yeah, no worries.

I could do that style in my sleep.

You know, I've got an idea.

How about I try something new?

A little different?

- Oh. No, no, I want--

-Hey.

If she can do something different,

so can I.

- But I wanted--

-And you're gonna love it, understand?

Uh, okay.

What?

CUSTOMER 2:

Oh, look.

Baby dolphins.

That is so cute.

I didn't even know you could do that.

[CORA CHUCKLES]

I never tried it before.

They're gone?

What do you mean she's gone?

You know, gone.

Vanished, abracadabra.

Now she's here, now she's not.

The place was empty.

Blast!

Hmm.

Someone must have tipped her off.

I don't think so.

She left a note saying

she was coming to the city.

- And I found this.

-Hmm.

CAL I GO:

The royal crest.

Then it is her.

That old hag double-crossed me.

The princess is alive.

And yet you don't seem overjoyed.

This could ruin everything.

We've got to get rid of her.

Search high and low.

Get all your slimiest, sleaziest,

creepiest cronies together.

Heh-heh. That's the only kind I know.

And find that girl!

[HORN BLOWING]

[DOLPHIN CLICKING]

I can't seem to make heads or tails

of this map, Dolphin.

[DOLPHIN SQUEAKS]

[MADAME RUCKUS GRUNTING]

DELPHIN:
Ah. Perhaps this good woman

can be of some assistance.

- Excuse me, ma'am, but could you--?

-Why, thanks. You're a doll.

Just plop them down inside.

I'll grab some more.

[DOLPHIN SQUEAKS]

Finally, the delivery's here.

Did you bring some styling gel?

Uh...

Styling gel?

Aha! Here it is.

Sorry, heh-heh-heh,

I'm afraid I'm a bit new to all this.

It's okay. This is my first job too.

I'm Lumina.

Pleasure to meet you, Lumina.

- I'm Delphin.

-Dolphin?

[DOLPHIN SQUEAKING]

Now, now, how would she know?

We've just met.

It's Delphin.

We get that a lot.

[DOLPHIN SQUEAKING]

I hope to see you again.

[CORA CHUCKLES]

He's handsome.

Well, aren't you the lucky one?

CALIGO:

You're the new stylist in town?

Yes, sir. Lumina.

Whatever.

I hear you're a miracle worker.

Can you do something with this?

[CHUCKLES]

I'm sure I can.

Good luck. You'd be the first.

[FERGIS GASPS]

Is that a Robena grandif/ora?

Hmm. I'm not sure.

Hey, Cora, what kind of plant is this?

Um, green?

Oh. She's beautiful.

I'll introduce you when we're done.

Ooh.

Come on.

[FERGIS GASPS]

[LUMINA CLEARS THROAT]

Hello, I'm Fergie.

I'm Cora.

- Do you like plants?

CORA:
Um...

- I have a fern.

-You do?

Have you ever tried feeding it

a mix of bone meal and phosphorus?

It'll do wonders for the seedlings.

Heh-heh. I'll give it a try.

CALIGO:

Fergie.

Ladies, hold onto your hairpins.

I've got bodacious news.

I just ran into a dear old friend

on the royal staff...

...and guess what she gave me.

- An invitation?

-To the royal ball?

- Tonight?

-For the whole salon staff.

[ALL SCREAMING AND LAUGHING]

I found more pearls,

but I didn't have time to unwrap them.

Kuda. The royal ball.

At the castle.

- Oh, no.

-This is terrible.

It is?

- What are we gonna wear?

-What are we gonna wear?
