The Swan Princess: A Royal Myztery Page #3

- Scully?

- I can't find the man in black

with this fellow chasing me.

What fellow?

I don't see a fellow!

- Is there a fellow?

- It's a Bogg ghost.

Get Rogers.

He'll know what to do.

Oh. And tell him to bring

the thing I gave him.

I'll fly back

and let him know.

Hey, that buffed out

very nicely.

Red alert!

We need help tracking a ghost!

Yes!

This pleases you?

It makes me insane with joy!

Oh, and Scully said to remember

to bring the thing he gave you.

Right!

Now, where is it?

It's in here somewhere.

I put it behind the...

No, it's not.

It's not. I forgot about that.

What don't you have in there?

Probably not a statue

of a monkey.

Oh!

Toy dentures.

A beautiful maiden

to give me a kiss.

Figures.

Paralyzing spray?

I call it "deodorant."

A fresh spy is a good spy.

Ah.

My ghost rope.

No beautiful maiden,

but he's got a ghost rope!

Finally, our first venture

into the paranormal world.

Come on!

Um. I'll just stay here

in the normal world.

Which includes rats.

Paranormal world, here I come!

Sure, let the frog drive!

I've made a few improvements

to our communication system.

Nice.

Young Tree Climber

awaits our first message.

You asked to see me?

You asked the man

to come here? Say something!

I did no such thing!

Who is he?

It's Prince Derek, fool!

His mother wrote the book.

Oh.

Queen U to the Rescue.

You're the one who out-dueled

Antonio and ruined all our plans.

Back off! Get back!

Not only him.

There's the Queen, Lord Rogers,

that bird, the frog, the turtle,

Alise, Lucas! Not just him.

Excuse me. I, for one,

bow to you.

As do I.

Stop bowing lower than me.

You stop it.

I was told you had some information

about the man in black.

Well, tell him.

You tell him.

You are the

one who asked him here.

I did

no such thing! Who is he?

I think we're done here.

- Psst! Antonio's back.

- Antonio is back?

I just said that.

You think Antonio survived

a hurricane in a rowboat?

Oh, he could survive anything

with my inventions,

including a leap

from a tall building.

Just like he

survived leaping from the dam

in order to destroy it.

Oh! Yes, we were

the brains, you see?

Antonio?

He was just a pretty face.

Hey! What about mine?

No. Not possible.

Please, my friend,

let us help you capture him.

He's free because of us.

But he let us rot

in this prison!

We can find him.

We know how he thinks!

He'll get you

all if you don't listen to what we say.

Why were you marked, Derek?

Think about it.

It's all in the name.

It's all in the name!

He's back.

Blew it again, didn't you?

What? It's

all your looney talk that sunk us.

Looney talk?

I am the intelligent one here.

If I were you

I would listen to me

I would do as I say

And do as I do

Listen to you

Are you joking me?

I'd not

hold my breath If I were you

Without me,

you're nothing but trouble

Without me,

you're nothing at all

A world with just you

turns to rubble

Give up, give in

'Cause you'll never win

Just take your bow

And throw in the towel

Even I would, too

If I were you

If I was you

I would shut it and listen

And hear what you're missing

You might learn

a thing or two

Who's kidding who?

We both know whose show

this is No one opposes it

I'm rubber and you're glue

Without you,

my world keeps on turning

Without you, I'll be just fine

You're fine

I'm sublime

Now you're learning

Give up, give in

'Cause you'll never win

Just take your bow

And throw in the towel

I'm big, you're small

The harder they fall

You fool Halfwit

Just leave

Just quit

Even I would, too

If I were you

Are you there?

Young Tree Climber?

Come on, Lucas.

Yes!

"Hello, Skinny Professor.

Scully here with me."

- Excellent!

- "Excellent."

"I have ankle bracelets."

No one cares about your jewelry.

Get to the point.

Do you mind?

"Do you mind?"

Why not tell him you're planning

to get a nose ring, too?

"I'm not getting a nose ring."

"Speed, stop sending..."

...every word I say!

You see? Tracking bracelets.

If you put it on

someone's ankle,

you can track

wherever he goes.

"Scully says..."

Can't put bracelet on a ghost.

"But put in jar

with ghost rope."

Shut my mouth.

- "Ghost bracelets a go."

- Wonderful.

"Come and put one on."

Tell him I'm on my...

Scully!

"Scully chased off again."

Oh, dear!

I thought the King loved me.

But, no, he puts my last life

on the line.

Rats! Yuck.

Okay, scare them out,

and let's see where they go.

Those are huge tails.

There could be an

alligator on the other end.

They're just rats.

Look, every time I died,

all eight times,

I felt just like this

before it happened.

Scared out of my wits!

Then maybe it's time

to be brave,

to act like a cat

with royal blood.

Maybe it's time

to show the world

that Jasper is not

to be messed with.

What good is a life

If it's not

life worth living?

I'm not losing my ninth.

But it's just as well lost

What use is a soul

If it takes without giving?

There's a day to quit

And a day to fail

But today is not that day

It's time to stand

On all fours and man up

Be the cat that you are

and man up

When the voice in your head

starts to worry

Remember you're fierce

and you're furry

Don't give them paws Just

show them your claws and man up

- Take it from us

- Don't put up a fuss

If you don't even try

Then you'll fail

Why would I listen to you? You're

just a ghost who says, "boo"

And you, you're

as dead as a nail

There's a time to stand

There's a day to fight

And today we stand

With all our might

It's time to stand

On all fours and man up

I'm feeling something!

Be the cat that you are

and man up

Is this a conscience?

Could I really give up

not caring?

Be a cat with courage

and daring

I don't know if I can

But we're stuck in a jam

I could man up

- I'm the cat for the job

- Man up

- I'm a tiger inside

- Man up

Send those rats to their

fate in a scurry

I'll break out my fast

and my fury

Make your fur stand on end Let

your will never bend, man up

Don't be a doormat

Be a rat-catching cat, man up

Don't give them paws

Just show them your claws

- Yes, you can

- Yes, I can

Yes, you can

Now, man up

Now that there's no

music, I'm not really feeling it.

It was a catchy tune, though.

I'll give you that.

What? Fine, then I'll be

the alley cat.

I don't like this.

Shoo!

Shoo!

Uh... Go away. Vamoose!

Don't make me use these heels.

Help.

That's right. Turn and run. Run!

Back to the sewer with you!

I knew you had it in you.

Next time,

a little quicker please.

- Did you hear that?

- No, I didn't hear anything.

Scully said the man

in black whistled,

that the rats were under his control.

Let's follow.

"Has Scully returned?

"Need his help."

Scully hiding at wharf.

Brilliant. Tell him

I'm on my way.

Okay.

Blasted glass.

Tricked again!

Mama said,

"Never trust a pink belly."

You were right, Mama.

We're going wireless, baby.

It won't do much good

to be able to track you
