Barbie Mariposa and the Fairy Princess Page #5

(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.
