New Friends (Part 1)/Transcript

[theme song]

[In an alleyway of the Big City, Wallace carries Princess Ava on his back and brings her to a place for her to rest, which is atop a cardboard lid.]

Wallace: It’s taken all night, but this place seems safe. [places a paw on Ava’s forehead] Oh, you’re running a fever.

Ava: Oh….where am I?

Wallace: You’re safe. Don’t worry, I won’t leave you.

Ava: [raises her head] What happened? [droops back] Oh…

Wallace: Save your energy. You’re poorly. You need to eat.

[Wallace sneaks into a restaurant. He sees a waiter being given a table by another.]

Waiter 1: Take this to Table 5.

Wallace: Ah!

[Wallace sneaks closer, and the waiter sets the tray with bread, milk, and orange juice on a table at the side and grabs a menu. The waiter notices that the tray is missing.]

Waiter 2: [gasps] Huh? What?

Woman: Waiter, we ordered breakfast some time ago.

Waiter 2: Th-the tray, it’s gone!

[Wallace places the tray next to Ava, who is sleeping.]

Wallace: Hey, kitty.

Ava: [wakes up] My name is Ava.

Wallace: Okay, Ava. I bought you a little something to eat and drink.

Ava: No, I’m not hungry.

Wallace: You need to have something! You’re so weak, you can hardly move!

[Ava is unresponsive.]

Wallace: Come on. [places a paw on Ava] Don’t give up.

[At the Big City School, Peter is about to drop off Kate.]

Peter: Hey, first day at a new school. New friends, new adventures, pretty exciting.

Kate: Yes, I can’t wait!

Peter: You better go. [kisses Kate on the forehead] You don’t want to be late on your first day.

Kate: Mm-hmm.

Peter: I’ll take Magic home with me.

Magic: [barks]

Kate: Magic prefers to wait here.

Peter: Okay, if you’re sure. I’ll be back to pick you up after school. Bye, honey!

[Peter steps back into his car and drives off.]

Kate: Well, Magic?

Magic: [barks]

Kate: Wait a minute. [slips the collar on her wrist] Oh… [looks around]

Magic: I thought you were looking forward to school. What’s wrong?

Kate: I just don’t know anyone.

Magic: You’ll make loads of new friends. Don’t worry. But you’ll still have time for me, won’t you?

Kate: [kisses Magic on the forehead] Don’t worry! I’ll always have time for you, Magic!

[Magic licks Kate on the cheek and they both giggle.]

Kate: [slips the collar back on Magic] I have to go. See you later!

[Kate walks inside the school, and Magic barks.]

Teacher: Hello, class. These next terms are very important. We’ll learn new and…

Alexia: [turns to Kate] I suppose that means more homework for us. Hi there, I’m Alexia by the way.

Kate: My name is—

Teacher: Excuse me.

[Alexia and Kate look up to the teacher.]

Teacher: Instead of talking just to Alexia, why not say hello to the whole class? Kate arrived in the city during the holidays. Let’s make her feel very welcome.

Kate: Hello, my name is Kate.

Students: Hi, Kate!

Teacher: Welcome. I’m sure you’ll settle in just fine. Now back to class and the lesson for today. [walks back] Okay, class, listen to me. Okay, the bell’s just about to go. Let’s take a break, everyone.

Alexia: Thank goodness; we’re so bored. [runs out] See you outside!

[Kate watches the other students run out but notices that Mark remains in the classroom, playing a handheld video game.]

Kate: Huh? Oh, hello!

Mark: Eh? What do you want?

Kate: What’s your name?

Mark: Mark. I’m on level three of Space Zone.

Kate: Do you want to come outside and play with us?

Mark: Outside? The playground? Boring! Nah, I’ll play with this, thanks.

[A Friendship Trail flies out of Mark’s heart and out the window, into the half of the Friendship Heart that Magic wears. An image of Mark appears on the jewel.]

Magic: I better find Katie right away.

[Outside, multiple students are playing games as Kate watches. Alexia and another girl approach her.]

Alexia: Would you like to come and play with us?

Kate: Sure!

[Kate and the two other girls walk off. Magic barks to get Kate’s attention.]

Kate: [looks back] Oh!

[Magic peers out from behind the bush.]

Kate: Oh, sorry. I…just remembered… I have to go. [walks off]

Alexia: [looks at the other girl] I wonder what’s up with her? I’d like to know what’s so important.

[Kate approaches Magic and takes a closer look at the jewel to see the image.]

Kate: I thought so. We need to go to Pocketville.

Magic: [barks]

Kate: And make sure no one sees us.

[Kate and Magic teleport to the Magic Fountain. They land on a pile of pillows.]

Kate: Ah, that’s good. Danny remembered the pillows again.

Magic: [barks]

Kate: Magic, I need the collar! [takes the collar and slips it over her wrist]

Magic: There you go, Katie. So, who need a pet this time?

Kate: My classmate. His name is Mark.

[In the Princess Suite…]

Kate: I only met him today.

Balloon: You’ve started school?

Kate: Mm-hmm. Yes. And I have to get back before the end of recess, or I’ll be in trouble.

William: Don’t worry. Time runs differently here.

Danny: I loved school! I was always first!

William: Are you sure, Danny?

Danny: Yep, first in every morning, bright and early!

Balloon and Mela: [chuckling]

Kate: Well, Mark certainly isn’t the first boy out at recess.

Magic: Doesn’t he like recess?

William: [gasps]

Danny: Impossible!

Balloon: Huh?

Mela: He doesn’t enjoy playing with the other children?

Kate: I don’t know. I do know he prefers playing computer games to outdoor games. He must have his head filled with microchips.

Magic: [chuckles] I love playing outdoors! But, what’s a computer game?

Kate: That’s a long story, Magic. All I can say is that Mark plays on his own all the time.

William: It’s the book!

[The Pocketpedia is activated.]

Kate: Well, let’s see what the Pocketpedia has to say. I’m sure it would be able to find a pet for Mark.

[The Pocketpedia floats down and flips several pages until it stop at a page with an image of a robin on it.]

Magic: But that’s…

Royal Guards: Robbie!

[In the Ever Grey Swamp, Eva looks at an image of Robbie on her half of the Friendship Heart.]

Zull: Yeah, it’s Robbie!

Eva: [meows]

Gort: It’s him alright. Everyone knows Robbie!

Zull: I said it was him already!

Gort: You want to argue about it?

Zull: Nothing would make me happier, Mr. Know-It-All.

Eva: Stop arguing! I’m trying to create a plan to steal the other half of the Friendship Heart! And I need quiet!

Gort: Uh?

Zull: Huh?

[Zull and Gort take a closer look at the jewel. Krakia flies down as she squawks.]

Eva: Listen, all of you. I have a good feeling that this is our big chance this time. So, I don’t want any foul-ups, you hear?

Zull, Gort, and Krakia: You can count on us, Eva!

Krakia: We won’t let you down!

Eva: I hope so, for your sake. Now let’s move; we need to get ahead and lay our trap!

Gort: [looks at Zull] A trap?

[Kate and her friends walk through the forest to find Robbie.]

Kate: So Robbie lives in the woods?

Magic: Well most of the birds live in the woods. But don’t worry, we’ll find him!

Kate: It seems everybody knows who he is.

Danny: Are you kidding? He’s famous all over the kingdom!

Kate: Why’s that?

William: He’s our greatest inventor ever!

Kate: Wow, what has he invented?

Balloon: Games.

Mela: Robbie is great at creating things.

Magic: He’s at all the parties in Pocketville; he’s lots of fun! He invented three-legged racing, pin the tail on the donkey…

Balloon: Oh, and great ball games.

Mela: Many of his games are in the Pocketville Olympics!

Danny: He’s clever alright, but I don’t enjoy his games that much.

Balloon: Only because you’ve never won any of them.

[Everyone laughs at that remark.]

Kate: So the Pocketpedia chose Robbie because Mark needs somebody to play with.

William: I think you’re right! But don’t forget we’re going to need a Magic Drop to get Robbie to the city.

[The group continues walking. Magic notices a cluster of mushrooms and walk to them.]

Magic: Oh, mushrooms! They look delicious. [bites a mushroom] Ouch, that hurt!

Kate: [rushes over] Magic, are you alright?

Magic: All I did was bite into a mushroom.

Danny: Mushrooms? But where?

William: How about that? It looks like Magic here found a Magic Drop!

Kate: [chuckles]

Magic: [chuckles as he opens his mouth to reveal the Magic Drop]

Kate: That’s a pretty clever way to find one, Magic! [takes the Magic Drop] Well done! Good job!

Mela: [laughs] What luck, Magic!

Magic: Not luck. That was my nose!

William: Come on, we need to find Robbie before Eva does.

[The Royal Guards leave. Meanwhile, Eva and her lackeys sit next to a hole that Zull and Gort just dug. Zull throws a rope back above the hole.]

Eva: Nothing would bring me more pleasure than getting the better of that girl. I’ll teach her to keep the Friendship Heart from me. I and only I will be the princess of Pocket Kingdom!

Gort: That’s right, Eva, and this trap will do the trick!

Zull: Hey! I’m done! Get me out of here!

[Gort walks over to the hole.]

Eva: Okay, help him!

[Zull is panting and covered in dirt.]

Eva: I suppose it’s deep enough.

Gort: We’ve done well this time. [pulls the rope]

Zull: What do you mean “we”? I did all the work!

Gort: [thrusts the rope back] What was that?

Zull: [is startled] Uh…I mean we’re a good team!

[Gort grunts as he pulls the rope back to bring Zull back up. Zull shakes dirt off of his fur, which some of it gets on Gort.]

Gort: Hey, watch it! [growls]

Zull: [growls]

Krakia: [lands] Uh, Eva! Kate and the others are coming!

Eva: Okay, quick! Cover the hole!

[Zull and Gort rush over to cover the hole with loose branches.]

Eva: This will be worth watching!

[Eva, Zull, Gort, and Krakia hide behind trees and bushes just as Kate and her friends arrive.]

William: It can’t be too far now.

Kate: This is a very nice day for a walk. I can’t wait to meet Robbie. He sounds like a lot of fun.

Danny: Oh, you’ll like him.

Kate: Well, I sure hope Mark likes him too. Because—

[The group fall into the hole, all yelling. Eva and her gang rush to see them.]

Eva: Oh, good! I knew it would work! We have them right where we want them!

Zull and Gort: We did it! [laugh]

Royal Guards: [groan]

Magic: Are you okay, Katie?

Kate: Yeah, you?

Magic: Alright. Just scratched a little.

Kate: Let me see.

Eva: How lovely. A girl and her puppy. How sweet.

Gort: Aw, yeah, that’s really sweet.

Zull: Aw, I’m tearing up.

[Eva looks down into the hole with a smug look.]

William: Eva, you’ll pay for this!

Balloon: You are always up to no good.

Danny: Well I’ll get out of here. [tries to climb back up but slips back]

Eva: Hmm…perhaps you should think about being nice as only I can get you out of there.

Mela: And what would you want in return for that?

Eva: Only what belong to me! The other half of the Friendship Heart!

Kate: No way! This belongs to Princess Ava! You’re trying to steal it!

Magic: That’s right! Well said, Katie! We’ll never give it up, ever!

Danny: Never ever ever ever!

Eva: Hmm…as they say, my friends, never say never.

William: Eva, stop playing your games and let us out of here. That’s an order; do you hear?

Eva: Oh, William. I’m not one of your Royal Guards. If you hadn’t noticed, it is I who give the orders now!

William: [growls]

Mela: Stay calm, William!

Balloon: Mela is right. We must stay calm.

Eva: I think you’ll soon decide that the only way you’re getting out of there is to give me the other half of the Friendship Heart!

Kate: I’ll never, Eva!

Eva: Maybe I’ll leave you alone for a while to think it over. Cover the hole, boys!

[Zull and Gort grunt and roll a large fallen tree trunk over the hole, along with twigs and leaves.]
