A Gift for Ava (Part 2)/Transcript

[theme song]

[Eva and her lackeys are waiting at the mouth of the Bottomless Cave.]

Eva: What are you two waiting for now?!

Zull: It's just that…you know what they say about the Bottomless Cave. That it's so deep that once you fall in, you never get back out!

Eva: And that's exactly why we're going in!

Gort: Mm-hmm.

Eva: Listen to me carefully! Kate will be going in to that cave to look for the Magic Drop! And that will be our chance to steal the Friendship Heart from her! If we fail thanks to your cowardly incompetence, I guarantee you'll prefer the Bottomless Cave to what I shall do to you! Is that clear?

Zull and Gort: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Eva: Now stop wasting time and let's go! I'll fix a trap that she will never forget!

[Eva and the others enter the cave. Then, Kate and her friends follow.]

Balloon: Well, we're here. The most important thing once we're inside is to stay together. No one goes off alone, understand?

Danny: Well I won't, that's for certain.

Magic: Katie, I'm with you all the way.

[The group enter inside the cave.]

Eva: We're almost there!

Zull: Looks the same! Rocks, rocks, and more rocks!

[The gang find a certain area of the cave.]

Eva: Here we are! What do you think? They're nice, huh?

Zull: It's another rock!

Eva: It looks like a mere rock to you, because you're just two halfwits. But Kate won't like it so much she won’t be able to resist getting a closer look at this wonder of nature! They say that whoever falls in that pit has no hope of ever seeing the light again!

Zull and Gort: [gasp and tremble]

Zull: What are you doing, Eva?

Eva: Why should I explain anything? You never understand anyway!

Zull: You're always so considerate.

Eva: I think our friends are in for a big surprise!

[Meanwhile…]

Danny: It's certainly dark in here.

Kate: Good thing we have flashlights!

William: Let's keep our eyes open; the Magic Drop could be anywhere.

Balloon: And please stay together.

Magic: I have to be really careful. I don't want anything to happen to Katie.

Kate: I've never been in a cave before! It's beautiful!

Danny: It looks like we have very different tastes!

[The group continue down the passage.]

Kate: Wow, it's amazing!

Magic: What is it, Katie?

Kate: It's a stalactite! I've only seen them in school books! It's quite different when you're close up!

Magic: Be careful. It could be dangerous- [slips over and slides down]

Kate: Oh no! Magic!

William: Kate and Magic, watch out!

[Kate slips down the slope to catch Magic. Mela and Balloon walk closer to take a look.]

William: Stop right there! The steps are slippery and they have a strange smell about them.

Eva: Congratulations on your sense of smell, William!

William: Eva…

Balloon: You're behind this.

Mela: We should've known all along it was you!

Eva: Don't you all friends know they have to be careful where they put their paws? Especially if someone puts down some very slippery grass!

Danny: Come out! Show yourself; I'll find you anyway!

William: No, Danny. Let her be. First we have to worry about saving Kate and Magic; they're more important.

Danny: You're right, William, I'm sorry.

[Kate and Magic slide down the slope of the pit and land in a pool of water.]

Kate: [coughs]

Magic: [coughs] Katie, are you alright? [coughs]

Kate: Yes, I'm okay. Fortunately the water broke my fall. [sighs]

Magic: [shakes dry]

[Kate and Magic look at the other side of the cavern, amazed. ]

Magic: Well, now we know the Bottomless Cave actually has a bottom.

Kate: Wow, look! Incredible!

[Kate finds a subterranean waterfall in the distance.]

Magic: Wow, it's beautiful!

Kate: Except…I'm afraid that we're lost! The Royal Guards will be worried sick about us! We have to find a way out of here!

Magic: Oh, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't slipped, we wouldn't be here right now.

Kate: Well at least we're here together. So I'm sure we'll figure it out. Our friends won't abandon us.

Magic: Well then let's get busy.

[Kate and Magic explore deeper into the cave. Magic sniffs around.]

Magic: This way! No, that way. At least…I think so.

Kate: Gosh, these tunnels are like a maze!

Magic: Don't worry. I said we'd get out of here and we will get out of here. [sniffs]

[Kate and Magic travel deeper.]

Magic: Hmm…

Kate: And now where are we?

Magic: I have no idea. I thought that with my sense of smell I'd have found a way out, but down here everything smells the same.

Bats: [chirping]

Kate: [shivers]

Magic: Are you cold?

Kate: N-No no, not really!

Bats: [chirping]

Magic: Katie is very cold; she just doesn't want me to worry.

[Kate continues to shiver and sits down on a stalagmite. She hugs Magic.]

Magic: Even in these difficult moments it's wonderful that we're together.

Kate: That goes for me too, Magic.

Bats: [in the distance, singing] A playful friend to brighten your day, from Pocketville with puppy-dog eyes…

Kate: [chuckles]

Magic: I can hear the Friendship Song playing in my head!

Kate: Me too! [gasps] But it's not our imagination! Someone really is singing the Friendship Song! It's coming from up there!

Bats: [singing] And there's no limits to your fantasy, a friend is only a wish away…

[Kate looks up at the bats, causing her headlamp to shine on the bats.]

Bat: Hey, who turned on the lights?

Kate: We did! Who are you?

Bat: Who are we? Who are you? You look like a little girl!

Kate: Hello everyone, my name is Kate!

Bat: Kate? The Kate? "The singer of the Friendship Song" Kate?

Kate: Yeah!

Bat: It's an honor and a privilege to meet you, Kate! You're our favorite singer!

Kate: Thank you very much!

Magic: Katie and I are lost. Do you think that you could help us find a way out of here?

Bat: Why of course! Follow us.

[Kate and Magic follow the swarm of bats to another part of the cave.]

Bat: You'll find…another cave…that will lead you out…We have to stop here! The lights have been annoying to us, you know! [chuckles]

Kate: Thanks for all your help!

Bat: Thank you! A-a-and if you're the one to have a singalong, you know where to find us! [flies away] Bye-bye!

[Kate and Magic walk off.]

Kate: Come on, we're almost out!

[Kate and Magic run to the exit.]

Magic: That's the way out! Up there!

Kate: Magic! Up ahead!

[Magic sniffs and finds a Magic Drop in the cave wall.]

Magic: The Magic Drop!

[Kate and Magic approach the Magic Drop.]

Eva: Stay right where you are!

Kate: [gasps]

Magic: [growls]

Zull and Gort: [growls]

Eva: For the umpteenth time I remind you that you have something which belongs to me! You better hand over the Friendship Heart if you know what's good for you, you hear me?!

Kate: You can forget it!

Eva: [growls]

William: Good answer, Kate!

Eva: Huh? [growls] How did you find us?!

Balloon: We can track people too.

Eva: Grab the Royal Collar from Kate! Hurry!

[Zull and Gort run to grab the collar but are struck down by Magic, William, and Danny.]

Eva: If I can't have the Friendship Heart, then I'll steal the Magic Drop! [is stopped by Balloon and Mela] Hm?

Balloon: You're far too slow, Eva.

Eva: Alright! You win again this time, but sooner or later your luck will run out, and I will triumph! [runs off with Zull and Gort] It's all your fault as usual!

William: It's good to see you both again, safe and sound!

Magic: Not nearly as good as seeing you friends!

Kate: Come on, let's get back to Pocketville! Ribbon's waiting!

Danny: Yes, and I can't wait to see what they decided to give Ava as a present!

[Back at the Gift Shop…]

Holiday: Well, what do you think? [shows a drawing of a collar identical to the Royal Collar but with a cyan jewel.]

Danny: Mm-mm. So you want to give the Princess Ava a drawing as a present?

Holiday: [laughs]

Danny: What's so funny about that?

William: Look at it a little more closely, Danny. It's a new Royal Collar!

Holiday: For now it's just a prototype. It'll take some time to make it, but it'll be ready next time Kate comes to Pocketville.

Kate: I know that Ava will just love it! So, are you ready to go?

Ribbon: I'm really, truly excited!

[At the Magic Fountain, Ribbon is on the pedestal. The half of the Friendship Heart flies over and teleports Ribbon to Kate's school.]

Female Student: Ooh, sweets! Can I have one?

Lillia: Uh…well, actually, they're mine. [gasps]

Ribbon: [chirping]

Lillia: A little chick! Hey, you're tickling me!

[Ribbon hands a biscuit over to the other student.]

Female Student: One for me? Thank you! You, know you and your little chick are really nice!

Lillia: Really? Nobody's ever told me that before! Thank you!

[Back at the Fountain, the Heart flies back to Kate's bracelet. Kate walks off the springboard. The Fountain reveals the mosaic of Ava, still incomplete.]

Kate: Why, of course! I get it!

Magic: Huh?

Mela: Huh?

Kate: That's why we can't get the princess back. We need to finish the puzzle first!

Everyone: [cheers]

Magic: Look, it's only missing one piece!

William: And then we'll get to see our princess!

Everyone: [laughing]
