White Paw (Part 1)/Transcript

[theme song]

[In the Big City, Kate takes a bike around as well as Magic and Wallace.]

Kate: Oh, I get it. You want me to take the collar.

[Kate, Magic, and Wallace start moving.]

Magic: I didn't realize there were neighborhoods this run-down in the Big City.

Wallace: I only know that we've been going around for hours! I can't feel my legs anymore!

Kate: If the information we have is correct, the Pet Buster lives around here somewhere.

Magic: Katie! Huh…

Kate: What is it, Magic?

[Magic, Kate, and Wallace look at a van, which belongs to the Pet Buster thanks to the sticker of caged cats. Kate looks at a poster with the same picture.]

Kate: Hmm… Good going, Magic! You found it. That's the Pet Buster's car, alright.

[The trio approach the vehicle.]

Wallace: So, now what do we do?

Kate: We wait. Sooner or later the Pet Buster will appear and then we'll just follow him until he leads us to Princess Ava.

Magic: Excellent plan, Katie!

Kate: Okay, let's hide!

[The trio hide behind the van. They suddenly see a black car pull up and see Alice's father leave with a basket to take to the bookstore.]

Alice: So, Dad, did you bring me any new books? Maybe a nice adventure story to read on the school bus!

Alice's father: No, I'm sorry, Alice, I didn't.

Alice: Ugh, I was hoping that you had.

[Kate looks at Alice from behind the vehicle.]

Alice's father: Maybe you'll find something you haven't read yet over there.

Alice: But I've read all of these books, and some of them twice!

Alice's father: Alice, another package arrives tomorrow and maybe there'll be some new books!

Alice: Let's hope so! You know what my favorite books are?

Alice's father: A nice adventure story, right? What imagination you have. Maybe it's because I've never had the money to allow you to travel and see a bit of the real world!

[A Friendship Trail flies out of Alice's heart and out the door.]

Alice: But thanks to books, I’ve travelled all over the planet, even the universe! I only need someone to share the journey with.

[The Friendship Trail flies into Kate's Friendship Heart, where an image of Alice's face appears.]

Kate: Magic, the little girl we saw in the book shop…I think that she needs our help.

Magic: I know, but what can we do?

Wallace: It's him!

Kate: Oh!

[The Pet Buster enters his van.]

Magic: Let's follow him.

Kate: But we also have to find a pet for Alice because the Friendship Heart says so.

[The Pet Buster's vehicle leaves.]

Kate: Okay, let's split up! We're going to Pocketville to find a pet for that girl, and you, Wallace, follow the Pet Buster, okay?

Wallace: Okay! Good luck, friends!

[Wallace runs off, following the van. Meanwhile, Krakia looks down from the skyline. In the Ever Grey Swamp, Eva discusses another plan with Zull and Gort.]

Eva: I don’t understand why it’s taking Krakia so long to get me some news about my sister! It’s unbearable!

[The Friendship Heart shows an image of Juno.]

Eva: Uh? It appears Kate is returning to Pocket Kingdom!

[Zull and Gort briefly look at each other in bewilderment, then back to Eva.]

Eva: To search for a new pet, no doubt!

Zull: But she won’t succeed.

Gort: So what are we waiting for? Let’s go!

Eva: [looks at the Friendship Heart, then at the Communication Shell] After waiting this long, it would be a shame if Krakia called when I’m not here.

Zull: That’s true.

Eva: But on the other hand, if she doesn’t call it would be a shame to give up the possibility of getting the Friendship Heart from Kate.

Gort: That’s true too.

Zull and Gort: So what do we do then, Eva?

Eva: We play it safe. Krakia might not call, whereas Kate is definitely coming! I say, we prepare a nice welcome for her! Come on!

[Zull and Gort begin following Eva.]

Eva: Oh, and be prepared for a little swimming!

Zull and Gort: [look at each other] Huh?

[Kate and Magic teleport to the Magic Fountain.]

Kate: My puppy and I, together forever! That’s all that I want!

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

William: Welcome back, friends!

Kate: We’re back because there’s a new girl we need to help out, William.

William: So let’s not waste any time. Let’s go to the Pocketpedia. The others will join us there.

[Kate and Magic follow William to the castle. In the Princess Suite…]

Kate: Magic and I have only seen Alice once for a few seconds outside her father’s bookshop.

[A pause.]

Danny: The Pocketpedia isn’t moving!

Mela: Maybe it needs more information!

Kate: But I don’t know anything else about her except she loves books!

Balloon: Come on, Kate. Try to remember more.

Kate: Let’s see. I just know that Alice hoped to receive a new book as a present.

Mela: What kind of book?

Magic: Adventure! She wanted an adventure story!

[The Pocketpedia activates.]

Kate: Nice job! Good memory, Magic!

[The Pocketpedia flips to a page with an image of Puppy Key, a tropical island.]

Danny: Hey, look! That’s Puppy Key!

Mela: The largest volcanic island in all of Pocket Kingdom!

Kate: I didn’t expect an island.

Magic: Neither did I.

William: There’s only one way to find out what all this means and that’s to go to Puppy Key immediately.

Kate: Yeah, you’re right.

William: Danny, Balloon, you two stay here. Someone must remain at the castle.

Balloon: You can count on us.

Danny: What? That’s not fair! I wanted to go!

Kate: Why don’t we all go together this time?

William: Since the citizens of the Pocket Kingdom found out that Princess Ava has been kidnapped, the situation has become more difficult.

Balloon: Puppies from all around arrive at the castle every day! Someone has to be there to keep things calm!

Kate: But we must be optimistic. Magic and I have found where Ava’s kidnapper lives. So I’m sure we’ll be bringing you good news soon.

Mela: You are our only hope of finding Ava!

William: But we can’t let anything get in the way of bringing children and pets together! Let’s get moving.

[Kate, Magic, and two of the Royal Guards leave the room. Eventually they make it to the shores of Pocketville Bay.]

Magic: Are you really sure? Uh, I mean, is this thing safe for Katie?

Stella: This thing as you call it, is the safest Puppymoran in the kingdom.

William: Hm, and the fastest to reach Puppy Key.

Magic: Okay, but Katie, please hold on tight.

Kate: I promise. It feels like we’re in an adventure novel, doesn’t it?

William: So, how do you say it, captain? Anchors away?

Stella: Aye aye, sir. Get ready to set sail.

[Stella’s tail releases the rope attached to the sail.]

Stella: Start the engines!

Magic: But I can’t see any engines!

William: Wait and see!

[Bubbles appear below the boat, which turns out that other seals are powering it.]

Stella: Next stop: Puppy Key!

[Stella steers the boat towards Puppy Key. Meanwhile, Eva and her lackeys follow them on a raft.]

Eva: Will you get a move on? Faster!

Zull: [muffled] …I have paws instead of fins!

Eva: Did you say something, Zull?

Zull: Gort did!

Gort: That’s not true! I didn’t say any— [gets splashed]

Eva: That’s what happens when you talk instead of swimming!

[Zull and Gort continue to pull the raft down the water. Kate and her friends make it to the shore of Puppy Key.]

Kate: Thanks for the trip! It was a wonderful crossing!

Stella: On behalf of the entire crew, it was a pleasure Miss Kate!

William: Come on, we’ve got a lot of walking to do.

[The group walk down and enter a rainforest.]

Kate: This place is wonderful!

Magic: If only it wasn’t so hot!

William: Our problem is not the heat right now, Magic. It’s how to find the right pet!

Mela: We could ask someone there!

Kate: Why not?

[The group walk inside the Bamboo Inn and meet Bambù, who sleeps atop a table.]

William: Good morning!

Bambù: We’re closed!

William: We’re not here to eat. We would like some information.

Bambù: Really?

William: We’re looking for a—

Bambù: [snoring]

Magic: Just look at him!

Bear chef: He has to be the worst waiter I’ve ever had! But you’re the Royal Guards. Along with the keeper of the magic collar with her trusty puppy Magic. It’s an honor!

William: Thanks, you’re very kind, and it’s very nice to be here too.

Magic: Um, can I ask you a question? What’s a bear doing on a volcanic island? I mean it’s really hot here!

Bear chef: Well you’re right there. But not everyone who has fur likes the cold, you know!

Everyone: [laughing]

Bear chef: My cousin told me that you dined at his place and had a wonderful time!

William: His cousin is the bear who owns the cafe in Pocketville.

Kate: Oh! He’s a really great cook!

Bear chef: Yes, he’s not too bad I suppose!

Bambù: Hm? Not bad? He’s an artist in the kitchen!

Bear chef: Weren’t you sleeping?

Bambù: Someone is jealous!

Bear chef: That’s not true! I like my cousin’s cooking too, for a city chef! But you have to try the fresh produce that I use here! Sit down! Set a table!

Bambù: [groans]

William: I’m sorry, but we’ll have to accept your kind invitation another time.

Mela: That’s right! We need your help! I imagine that several puppies pass through here every day!

Bear chef: It’s true that my cafe is the best on the island!

Mela: Good! Because we’re looking for a puppy for a little girl in the Big City! Can you help?

Bear chef: What kind of puppy?

Kate: We don’t really know. The only thing we know is that she loves adventure.

Bear chef: You said adventure? Well then, you’re looking for Juno!

William: I’ve never heard of Juno.

Bear chef: She’s a Siberian Husky just arrived on the island looking for treasure.

Magic: Treasure?

Bear chef: She’s a real adventurer, always on the lookout for exciting journeys.

Bambù: [yawns and stretches] Why would she do that?

Kate: She sounds perfect for Alice. So, do you have any idea where we can find her?

Bear chef: Hard to say. If I were you I’d go towards the volcano. But don’t worry, you’ll know her as soon as you see her.

Kate: Thanks a lot! You’ve been really helpful.

[The group leave the cafe. Bambù grabs a stalk of bamboo from the wall and eats it.]

Bear chef: Huh? Stop eating my cafe!

Bambù: I told you that building with bamboo wasn’t a good idea! [chuckles]

[Meanwhile…]

Magic: I don’t see anyone here.

William: Stay positive, Magic.

[Dirt flies over and lands on Mela and Magic.]

Mela: Hey, what’s happening?

Magic: Hey, it’s raining dirt!

Kate: [stops walking] Huh? Look!

[They find Juno panting and digging a hole.]

William: Excuse me, are you Juno by any chance?

Juno: Yes! But I’m too busy to chat just now!

Magic: Why? What are you looking for?

Juno: The treasure! A prophecy predicted I would find the most important adventure of my life here!

Kate: Well my friend, you just might be right.

Juno: [stops digging and turns around] Do you have a map too?

Kate: No. I mean there’s a little girl in the Big City who is desperate for great adventures and someone to share them with. You would be the perfect pet for her.

Juno: Yes! A true friend at last! This will be the most incredible of all adventures! Let’s go now!

Mela: First, we must find a Magic Drop. Otherwise the fountain at the castle won’t work!

Juno: No problem. I heard that a drop was spotted here on the island, right at the top of the volcano!

Magic: Easy to get to, then!

Juno: Follow me, everyone! Our adventure is just beginning!

[The group move closer to the area near the volcano. Meanwhile, Eva and her lackeys watch them.]

Eva: Yes, your adventure is just beginning. But I guarantee that the ending is going to be an unpleasant surprise! Hmm…
