Crest of a Wave/Transcript

[theme song]

[At the beach, Annabelle is with her father.]

Annabelle: Will you be back tonight?

Annabelle’s father: I’m sorry, dear. But you know I’m busy this time of year.

Annabelle: Oh okay.

Annabelle’s father: Auntie Mary will make your dinner, and I’ll pop in when I get back to kiss you goodnight.

Fisherman: [places a hand over Annabelle’s shoulder] But why don’t you come with us? It’s a beautiful day! Come on, I’ll help you climb aboard.

Annabelle: No!

Fisherman: Woah, what’s the matter?

Annabelle’s father: Annabelle is frightened of the sea. I missed count of the times I’ve asked her to come with me. But she hates the idea.

[Annabelle nods.]

Annabelle’s father: See you tonight, dearest.

[Annabelle sighs as the boat moves out into the sea. She sits down in the sand and looks on. The sound of Magic barking catches her attention. Magic is running with Kate down the beach as he chases a ball.]

Kate: Sorry! My dog loves chasing his ball. Oh!

[Magic continues chasing the ball. Annabelle looks at him.]

Kate: Hey, how about a race? Come on!

Annabelle: Okay.

[Kate and Annabelle chase Magic down the beach as he keeps the ball in his mouth. They both laugh together.]

Kate: My name is Kate, and this is Magic!

Annabelle: I’m Annabelle! [gasps]

[Annabelle is startled when she realizes her feet touched the water. She steps back in fear.]

Kate: What’s wrong?

Annabelle: It’s just that I’m scared of the water.

Kate: That’s a shame. The water’s so much fun.

Annabelle: I’ve always been scared. I don’t like it at all.

[A Friendship Trail flies out and reaches the Friendship Heart.]

Kate: Oh…

Annabelle: I’d love to go fishing with my dad. That’s his boat out there. But I’m too scared to go aboard.

[An image of Annabelle appears on the jewel.]

Kate: [to Magic] We need to have a talk. [takes the collar and puts it around her wrist as a bracelet] The Friendship Heart is clear. Annabelle needs a pet.

Magic: Yes! Yes! Well I’m ready when you are. Come on, we’ve got a job to do.

Kate: Hm… well no one can see us. My puppy and I, together forever. That’s all I want.

Magic: Katie and I, together forever. That’s all I want.

[The pair teleport to Pocketville. In the throne room, they meet the Royal Guards.]

William: Welcome back, friends.

Kate: I need the bracelet. One second. [takes the collar from Magic’s neck]

Balloon: Back so soon?

Kate: I came for her. Her name is Annabelle.

William: What do we know about her?

Magic: Well, she’s scared of water.

Danny: That helps. So we need a puppy who isn’t a sailor, and doesn’t own a boat.

Kate: That makes sense, Danny.

Danny: Shucks.

Balloon: Obvious, really.

Mela: Mr. Predictable!

Danny: It was just a thought.

William: Let’s look inside the Pocketpedia.

[Meanwhile in the Ever Grey Swamp, Eva and her lackeys discuss another plan.]

Eva: [chuckles]

Zull: What’s so funny?

Eva: I sense a good day.

Gort: It looks overcast to me.

Eva: I’m surrounded by fools!

Zull and Gort: Eh?

Eva: Kate has returned which means we have another chance to steal her half of the Friendship Heart! [laughs]

Zull: So that’s the Chosen Pet?

Krakia: How are the Loser Twins today? Irritating as usual?

Zull: Hey, watch it!

Eva: That’s enough! Come on!

Gort: At least we know where to find the pet. [is about to walk off]

Eva: Wait! [Gort: Huh?] First we have to collect a little something from the swamp. This time I shall win. Oh, Kate, I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes [growls]

[Back at the Pocketville Castle, Kate tries to consult the Pocketpedia in the Princess Suite.]

Kate: I’m trying, but nothing’s happening.

William: Don’t give up, Kate. Last time the Pocketpedia worked when you talked about the girl.

Kate: That’s what I’ve been doing, William, but nothing seems to be working this time.

Magic: It’s not your fault, Katie.

Balloon: What now?

William: Search me. We have no real idea how the Pocketpedia works.

Balloon: We’re stuck then.

Danny: Don’t give up yet.

Kate: Poor Annabelle. I know how she feels.

[The Pocketpedia budges.]

Mela: Go on. What do you mean you know how she feels?

Kate: Well, Annabelle dreams of spending more time with her father, just like I wish I could spend more time with my mother.

[The Pocketpedia activates and flips pages.]

William: Look at that!

[The Pocketpedia flips to a page with the image of a dolphin. Meanwhile, at Pocketville Bay, dolphins leap freely over the water. Eva and her gang watch from the shore.]

Eva: There is the Chosen Pet. Now all we have to do is set a trap and make sure the girl does not escape this time.

Gort: Okay. What’s the plan?

Eva: Leave that to me. I have an idea.

Zull: I’m not looking forward to this.

[Eva and her lackeys use a motorboat to go out into the sea. Zull and Gort push the boat.]

Eva: Faster!

Zull: I could go faster if I had fins!

Gort: I’m sure an outboard motor would have been a better idea.

Eva: Okay, stop! Here will do!

[Zull and Gort stop moving the boat. Eva takes out a box and dumps seeds into the water.]

Gort: What’s that?

Eva: Special seeds from the swamp.

Zull: What do they do?

Eva: You’ll see. Now let’s go. Once these seeds start growing, it’ll get pretty dangerous around here.

[Zull and Gort look at each other briefly and continue pushing the boat, this time back towards the shore. Eventually Kate and her friends make it to the beach.]

Kate: Uh, I don’t see any dolphins.

William: They usually play around the bay.

Danny: Yeah, this is like a playground.

[Dolphins start appearing out into the sea.]

Magic: Here they are! Hey, dolphins!

Danny: Hey! We’re talking to you!

William: They’re too far away. They can’t hear us.

Danny: So what do we do?

Kate: I suppose we’ll have to swim.

[Kate, Magic, and Danny step forward.]

Danny: Ugh, I just knew it would be cold.

[William follows them from behind. Mela and Balloon stay in place.]

Balloon: We cats don’t go for that whole water thing.

William: No problem. We’ll take care of it. You go and find a Magic Drop to activate the fountain.

Mela: We’re on it, William.

[Eva and her gang watch the group go out into the water.]

Eva: At last. Showtime!

Danny: Hey, hey! Stop tickling me!

Kate: I’m not doing any tickling!

Danny: So…who is?

[Kate and her friends realize that seaweed have captured their legs. All of them grunt as they flail around in the water.]

Kate: Something’s…grabbed my ankles!

Zull: What’s happening to them?

Gort: It looks like something has a hold of their legs.

Eva: Not something. It’s algae. Those seeds I threw into the sea grew super fast. I knew it would stop them. Go on, Krakia! Bring back the Friendship Heart!

Krakia: A pleasure!

[Krakia squawks and flies out over the bay where she spots Kate, Magic, Danny, and William struggling as the seaweed got ahold of them. She swoops over and tries to grab Kate’s bracelet, but fails doing so. She does it a second time, but ends up getting soaked by water spat by a group of dolphins. Swimmy, one of the dolphins, dives underwater and finds the seaweed holding the group down. Swimmy then goes back up and grabs a group of crabs’ attention.]

Swimmy: Hey, we need your claws!

Crab: You bet! Come on, let’s go!

[The crabs chatter and snip off the seaweed from the groups’ legs.]

Danny: Be careful, okay?

Kate: You saved us! Thank you!

Swimmy: They call me Swimmy! And you’re very welcome!

Kate: Can I ask a favor? I am looking for a baby dolphin.

Swimmy: Tell me everything while I give you a ride to the shore. [swims forward] Come on, hop on.

[Kate realizes that the dolphin depicted on the Pocketpedia is Swimmy himself.]

Swimmy: So, who is this little dolphin?

Kate: A dolphin brave enough that he can persuade a little girl to overcome her fear of water, and I think I just found him.

Swimmy: You don’t mean me?!

Kate: That’s right! Are you willing to take an incredible journey?

Swimmy: [leaps] Absolutely! Yahoo!

[Kate climbs on top of Swimmy’s back and holds Magic. Danny and William ride other dolphins as all take them back to shore. At the Magic Fountain, Swimmy’s Friendship Ceremony is about to begin. Balloon gives the Magic Drop to Kate.]

Balloon: The Magic Drop, Kate.

Kate: Thank you, you two.

[The Magic Drop glimmers.]

Mela: Anything to help, Kate!

[Kate drops the Magic Drop into the fountain, filling it with water. The water shows an image of Annabelle. Kate looks at Swimmy and he winks at her. Kate steps upon the unfurling springboard.]

Kate: Let the Friendship Ceremony begin!

[Pets cheer as the Friendship Heart levitates to the pillar. Swimmy leaps into the air as he is teleported to the shores of the Big City. Annabelle sits on the beach.]

Swimmy: [splashing around] Hello there!

Annabelle: Hey, who are you?

[Swimmy looks at Annabelle.]

Annabelle: Are you calling me?

[Swimmy chuckles. Annabelle steps closer and her feet touch the water. She gasps, noticing that it isn’t as bad as it seems to her initially.]

Annabelle: Hey! I’m in the water!

Swimmy: I knew you could do it!

Annabelle: [splashes] I’m not scared! I’ve done it! This is great! This is the best day of my life, and it’s all thanks to you. I just wish I could pet you, but I can’t swim yet.

[Swimmy swims closer.]

Annabelle: [pets Swimmy] A friend with fins? Dad won’t believe it!

[An image of both Annabelle and Swimmy appears in the Magic Fountain, then the fountain dries up again. The Friendship Heart returns to Kate’s bracelet. A mosaic fragment of Princess Ava’s ear appears in the fountain, and the Royal Guards step up to get a closer look.

Balloon: Look, another piece of the jigsaw is in place.

Danny: It’s Princess Ava’s ear!

Mela: I can’t wait to complete the puzzle and bring the princess back!

Danny: We’ll do it!

William: We have to stay focused. Our strength lies in working together. And thank you, Kate.

Kate: I’m happy to help.

William: We miss Princess Ava very much, but we’re so glad we found you.

Magic: We certainly are.

Kate: We have to go, but we’ll be back. Are you all set, Magic?

[Kate and Magic return to their room.]

Magic: Uh, no more algae… Uh…

Kate: [rubs her head with a towel] Were you frightened?

Magic: Well it was scary. I have four legs. You only have two.

[Kate giggles]

Magic: [stands up] Plus, all that algae got tangled in my fur!

Kate: How about a nice bath? [Magic: Aw…] I’m not listening! Oh…

Magic: Aw, you’re thinking about Ava, right?

Kate: [sighs] Mm-hmm. I know everything went well for us today. [places collar back around Magic’s neck] But I worry that the princess could be in danger out there.

[Meanwhile, somewhere in the Big City, Ava crawls under a car, and spots a restaurant worker dumping a sack of fish bones next to garbage cans. She slowly approaches the sack, but is startled by a trio of dogs leaping before her. She gasps.]

Dogs: [growling]

Dog: Get lost.

Princess Ava: But there is enough for everyone!

Dog: Enough for us. Not for you.

Dogs: [growling and laughing]

Princess Ava: I can’t go on much longer without eating.

[Ava walks away just as the dogs eat from the sack.]
