Barbie of Swan Lake Page #5

Lila:
Meaning, his royal cuteness!

Carlita:
"...pledges love to another..."

Lila:
Meaning, not Odette?

Carlita:
"...the magic crystal will lose its power".

Lila:
What? That's not fair!

Fairy Queen:
No, but the legend cannot be altered.

Erasmus:
You realize true love is very rare?

Lila:
Are we talking "meet the parents" rare? Everyone gets a long rare?

Erasmus:
No, that's for start. But true love is when two people love each other more than they love themselves!

Fairy Queen:
Alone, they are two, but together, they are one! This kind of selfless love has awesome power!

Lila:
Ah, two for one! Well them, we gotta get busy.

Odette:
Doing what?

Lila:
Getting you ready for the ball tomorrow!

Odette:
A ball? At a time like this?

Carlita:
Naturally! You will walk in, the prince will see you, he will ask you to dance, then, you will be in his arms and he will declare his true love to you! And then we all will be saved.

Ivan:
Yes, yes, my beautiful girl! (tries to hug Carlita)

Carlita:
Quills, Ivan, quills!

Ivan:
Oh, he-he, right. So sorry!

Lila:
Ahh, together forever.

Odette:
But he is the prince. I'm just a girl from the village.

Fairy Queen:
Do you know what I see? Kindness, laughter, bravery. All worth more than any treasure a king could posess. I may not have many powers left, but...

(the queen transforms Odette's pink dress into a swan-themed dress)

Fairy:
You look beautiful!

Odette:
Thank you! (to Fairy Queen) I suppose it doesn't matter that I don't know the first thing about dancing at a ball?

Lila:
Nah, not a bit. We'll teach you.

Ivan:
Dancing is my middle name! May I?

(Odette smiles. Ivan starts dancing. Erasmus is the conductor of the elves' orchestra. Ivan gets so excited he shoots quills. Everyone hides behind trees)

Carlita:
Ivan, Ivan! You need some salsa flavor!

(Carlita starts dancing, a fox fairy joins her)

Lila:
I love it, but I'm just having a little trouble seeing the romantic part where the prince declares his true love.

Fairy Queen:
Perhaps I can help.

(She transforms hers and Odette's dresses so they turn into ballet dresses. They start dancing, then the elves join. Erasmus can't help but starts dancing himself, when suddenly, Rothbart as a bird flies by, picks him and the book up and flies away)

Erasmus:
Help!

Odette:
Erasmus!

(The Fairy Queen tries to stop him, but suddenly her magic goes away)

Fairy Queen:
No!

(Rothbart laughs in distance. The sun rises, and everyone turns into their animas forms again)

Odette:
Come on, we can't let Rothbart win! We just can't!

(cut to Rothbart's palace, Rothbart is reading the book)

Rothbart:
My, my!

(Erasmus is grunting. He is tied upside down)

Erasmus:
There's nothing in there! Just old fairytales!

Rothbart:
I see the magic crystal isn't invincible after all. What would my cousin say at that? Odile, my dear little sparrow?

Odile:
Yeah, daddy? (to a crow) Hey, watch where you poke that!

Rothbart:
Do you remember the crown you wanted?

Odile:
Oooh, am I gonna get it, am I, Daddy?

Rothbart:
Tonight, at the royal ball! My spies tell me Odette is planning to meet the prince there.

(He turns Odile's necklace jewel from green to red)

Odile:
Daddy, that's my first favourite necklace!

Rothbart:
It's magic now. Every time the prince sees you, he'll see his true love, that silly Odette girl.

Odile, looking at the necklace: So?

Rothbart:
So, then, you can trick him into declaring his love for you. Can you do that?

Odile:
Are diamonds a girl's best friends?

Rothbart:
Daddy's little dove! Once the prince swears his love to you, the powers of the magic crystal will be lost and we will fullfil our destinies. I will be the one and only ruler of the enchanted forest!

Odile:
And I will be the most stylish creature in it!

Rothbart:
And after that, who knows what world we can conquer. Perhaps we will take a liking to the royal palace!

(Odile shrieks)

Erasmus:
It won't work!

Rothbart:
Bold words for a troll who's about to be eaten.

(Rothbart lights his magic ring. Cut to Rothbart's palace. Odette and others are approaching)

Carlita:
It gives me chills to be back here!

Odette:
Erasmus, is he..?

Fairy Queen:
Still alive, but under a magic spell.

Lila:
So how do we get in?

Odette:
Rothbart flies everywhere he goes. Maybe there's an entrance near the roof? I can find out.

Lila:
Woah, woah, woah, woah. So we're just supposed to hang out here and watch.

Odette:
No, I'm going to need your help.

(they come closer to discuss. Odette flies towards the palace, three crows fly towards her. They chase her, she leads them into the fog. Crows lose her, and she flies into the palace)

Odette:
Erasmus? Erasmus!

Erasmus:
Over here.

Odette sees Erasmus, transformed into a worm: Erasmus?

Erasmus:
Ah, don't even ask. The ravens are everywhere, and worse, they're hungry!

(Odette takes him with her beak)

Erasmus:
Don't get any ideas!

(Odette throws him up and he falls on her head. Erasmus sees ravens approaching)

Erasmus:
Hurry!

(Odette flies out, the ravens are chasing her. One is flying right next to her)

Erasmus:
Uh-oh, watch it! Right one (?)

(Odette lures one raven to bump into the roof. It is immobilized. More ravens are chasing Odette. Carlita, Ivan and Lila are waiting for other ravens. Carlita sprays some scent, Ivan throws quills, Lila attacks with her corn)

Lila:
Ooh, we are good!

(cut to the palace entrance. The carriages are approaching. The queen is looking for Daniel. Then she notices him, going to and fro)

Queen:
Daniel! A ball is beginning.

Daniel:
I'm waiting for someone.

Queen:
A future bride, I hope?

Daniel:
I guess so.

Queen:
Well now, that's wonderful! I want you to introduce us the minute she arrives.

Daniel:
If she arrives.

(cut to the enchanted forest)

Erasmus:
And then Rothbart will use Odile to trick prince Daniel!

Lila:
No-no-no. It can't work like that.

Carlita:
The prince has to be in love with Odette! Oh, this is a catastrophe! Or worse? Ooh! Migraines.

Lila:
I'll go, I was there once!

Odette:
No, I'll go.

Lila:
You? Come on, there're probably a dozen hunters in the village ready to shoot a perfect swan. I remember. The tough crowd.

Odette:
It has to be me! Because then Daniel will see he's being tricked!

Lila:
Hm, you've got a point.

Fairy Queen:
Use the crystal to open the rock at the waterfall. Good luck, my dear.

Lila:
And Odette, watch your back.

(Odette flies away. It's almost sunset. Cut to the ballroom)

Queen:
Your special girl?

Daniel:
No sign of her yet.

Queen:
Until then, (?) your mood. The room is filled with lovely young ladies. Find someone wonderful to dance with while you wait.

Daniel:
May I?

Queen:
Rascal!

(Daniel and his mother begin to dance. Rothbart and Odile enter the ballroom. Odile's necklace shines)

Rothbart:
Remember: not a word.

Odile:
What? Why not?

Rothbart:
Not. A. Word.

(Daniel notices Odette and her father, approaches them)
