| [Open Pocketville] | |
| (Kate is surrounded by sparkles. She looks around.) | |
| Kate | Where am I? |
| Her outfit changes into an orange jumper with yellow rims and yellow paws in the center. The sparkles disappear.) | |
| Kate | And what happened to my clothes? *she looks at her arm* What is this place? |
| Pets are talking quietly. Balloon goes to the other royal guards and puts Ava’s collar down.) | |
| [William]] | *to Balloon* Clear the area. Danny, you stay with me. We have to decide what to do with our visitor. |
| (Mela and Balloon are ushering pets away.) | |
| Balloon | Calm down, everybody. |
| (Magic goes over to Kate and barks.) | |
| Kate | *confused* Are you trying to talk to me? |
| Magic | *barking* (Hey there, are you alright?) |
| William | You’re wasting your time, she can’t understand a word we say. |
| (Mela and Balloon walk over to Danny and William.) | |
| Danny | So what shall we do? |
| Balloon | She’ll have to go back. |
| Magic | *walks over to the Royal Guards* No! She can’t go back! She’s my special friend! |
| Balloon | It’s the only way. |
| Magic | Maybe not... |
| (Magic looks at Ava’s dollar and picks it up. He walks over to Kate.) | |
| William | No, stop! |
| (Magic puts the collar down at Kate’s feet.) | |
| Kate | I don’t really understand. What do you want me to do? |
| (Magic puts the collar in Kate’s hands.) | |
| Kate | Is this for me? |
| (Magic barks.) | |
| Kate | Thanks! Do you want me to put it on? |
| (Magic barks, jumps and whines, wagging his tail. Kate puts it on like a bracelet and looks expectant.) | |
| William | You really think simply putting on a collar is gonna make her understand us? |
| Kate | But... You can talk! |
| Danny | Really, some people! Of course we can talk! |
| Magic | Don’t you get it? She’s talking to you! She can understand us! |
| Kate | I can! |
| (The sky begins to darken.) | |
| Magic | We should tell her everything that’s happened here! |
| (William and Danny look up at the sky. There is thunderclouds and a flash of lightning. It begins to rain.) | |
| William | Ugh. Alright, but let’s get somewhere warm and dry first! *he runs away* |
| [Trans. Ext. Pocketville Castle] | |
| [Trans. Int. Pocketville Castle] | |
| (Kate, Magic and the Royal Guards are inside the castle.) | |
| Kate | You’re telling me that this is where puppies come from? |
| William | That’s what the Puppy Kingdom is for! To find puppies a good home. |
| Kate | Wow, that’s amazing! |
| Balloon | Was amazing. *she walks over to Ava’s throne and strokes it* |
| Mela | Yes, now that the fountain is dry and the princess is gone, the Friendship Ceremony is no more. |
| (Kate gasps.) | |
| Danny | Only the princess could do the magic. |
| Kate | *saddened* But if the princess was the only one who could do the magic, how do I get home? I’ll never see my parents again! *she clutches her chest* |
| Danny | We’ll find the princess! |
| Kate | *looks up* How? |
| Danny | Er... |
| William | We don’t know yet, but uh... |
| Magic | Evershell will help us! He’s a wise old turtle, he’ll know what to do! *walks away* |
| William | That’s enough, Oristolfo! *he follows Magic, and speaks quieter* You’ve said too much already. |
| Magic | *quietly* But we can trust her, William! |
| William | Maybe, maybe not. *he walks back to Kate* Oristolfo is very nice but he talks too much. Often without thinking. But, now would you excuse us for a moment please? |
| Kate | *nods* Don’t mind me. *she leaves* |
| Magic | This will only take a minute! |
| Balloon | Since when did you become a Royal Guard? |
| Magic | *irritated* Okay, I’m going! I know when I’m not wanted. *he leaves* |
| Mela | What are we going to do about the girl? |
| William | We have to think carefully. With the princess gone, the fate of the Pocket Kingdom is in our paws. |
| Danny | Kate seems very nice. |
| Balloon | Maybe, but we can’t take any chances. |
| Mela | Remember that the Friendship Trail brought her here. That means she’s pure of heart. |
| Balloon | I’m not sure what to think anymore. |
| William | There’s only one thing we can do. |
| Danny | You’re right. Er, what? |
| William | We’ll see if she can pass the test! |
| [Trans. Pocketville Castle’s kitchen] | |
| (Kate is sitting on a small chair and Magic is is near a bowl of dog food.) | |
| Magic | Try the green ones! They’re my favorites! |
| (Kate picks up a green piece. She sniffs it and frowns, while Magic chomps down on food in the bowl.) | |
| Magic | You should know that stuff now that we’ll be spending so much time together. |
| Kate | So much time? |
| Magic | Yeah! You’re my special friend! Of course! The plan was that I was supposed to come to the Big City to meet you. But with everything that’s happened, *he claps his paws* the most important thing is that we’re together. |
| Kate | But... Well... I’ve never had a puppy before! But come to think of it, I’ve kinda always wanted one! |
| Magic | See? It’s meant to be! *chuckles* |
| Kate | But I don’t know what to do with a puppy... |
| Magic | First job... *thinks* Choose a name! |
| Kate | You already have a name. Oristolfo! |
| Magic | Ugh, that doesn’t count! The special friend always picks the name! |
| Kate | I see, okay... I can’t think of one... I can only think of famous stuff, like names from TV! |
| Magic | Ah, no! Make it a special name! Just for me! |
| Kate | I’m sorry, I’m not thinking clearly. So many magical things that happened-*gasp* Magic! I’ll call you Magic! |
| Magic | *excited* Magic?! Magic?! *he starts running in circles* Magic Magic Magic Magiiiic! YES! |
| (The doors to the kitchen open and the Royal Guards enter. Magic and Kate see them. Kate stands up and Magic runs to them. The guards walk past him.) | |
| Magic | From now on, my name will be Magic! Nice, huh? |
| William | *to Kate* We thought you might like to take a walk around our village! |
| Kate | I’d love to! *she looks down* |
| Magic | What’s the matter? |
| Kate | *she sits down on the table* Well, I’m thinking my dad will be awake by now. He’ll be so worried... |
| William | Maybe not. You see, time goes by differently. Maybe your dad is still asleep. |
| Magic | *walks over to Kate and she pets him* Let’s have a look around! |
| Kate | You’re right, let’s go. It’ll be fun. *she gets up and walks* |
| Balloon | *whispers to Mela* Okay. Let’s get everything prepared for the test. |
| [Trans. Pocketville Main Square | |
| (Kate, Magic and the Royal Guards are walking in the square, and it is fairly empty. Curious pets look out of their windows to watch them.) | |
| Magic | This is the Main Square! The school is over there. And here is the movie theatre! I’ll let you guess which one we like best. |
| Kate | Where is everyone? |
| Mela | They’re all probably busy. You know, doing stuff! |
| (Mela pops out from behind a bush (despite being next to Kate earlier) and winks. William winks back. They stop outside the Pocketville Café.) | |
| William | You must be starving. Why not eat here? |
| Kate | *shrugs* Okay. *she goes inside* |
| William | You can tell us what you think about the café. |
| Danny | You don’t think we’ve gone too far? |
| Mela | *clasps her paws together* I hope she doesn’t get frightened! |
| William | Look, we agreed she needed to be tested, let’s see how she does! |
| Balloon | The chef will help us find out. |
| [Trans. Pocketville Café] | |
| (Kate opens the door and walks in.) | |
| Kate | Helloo? Anybody here? |
| (There is a big shadow on the wall.) | |
| Kate | *gasps* ...It’s so beautiful! *she walks towards the small bear causing the shadow* |
| Bear | *bashfully* It’s my own design! *he neatly folds a paper towel into a flower* Tada! *he hands it to Kate* |
| Kate | *giggles* Thanks! You’re very kind, it’s lovely! |
| (William and Balloon walk in.) | |
| William | *to Balloon* Test passed, she’s brave, alright! |
| Balloon | Yes, but is she kind and considerate? |
| [Trans. Some field in Pocketville | |
| Kate | It’s so beautiful and peaceful! |
| (There is the sound of struggling and Kate gasps. It shows a family of beavers struggling to make a water wheel move.) | |
| Mela | Oh no! |
| William | They need our help! |
| (William and Mela rush to help the beavers. They pull on the rope, and Kate notices a piece of the water wheel might break. She gasps and jumps into the water, and looks at the water wheel. She then dives underwater and finds a rock blocking the water wheel. She picks it up, submerges from the water and throws it aside. The beavers cheer and Magic is next to them.) | |
| Magic | *proudly* That’s my special friend. Yeah! |
| Kate | *wades towards them* There was a stone blocking the wheel! |
| William | Did you see how quickly she responded? |
| Danny | We couldn’t have done it without Kate. |
| Balloon | Hmm... *she shakes her head* Let me have a moment alone with her. |
| (Balloon scratches an ordinary pebble. She walks over to Kate who is wringing her orange jumper.) | |
| Balloon | We’re glad you arrived when you did. |
| Kate | Oh, it was nothing. I’m just glad I could help! |
| Balloon | Well, it could all work out rather well for you. *she holds out the pebble* |
| Kate | *takes the pebble* What’s this? |
| Balloon | A magic stone. With this, you could rule the whole of the Pocket Kingdom! |
| Kate | Really? |
| Balloon | You’d be the princess. Everyone would worship you! |
| Kate | But you already have a princess. *she holds down the stone* And even if she’s not here right now, you gotta be faithful! |
| Balloon | *looks impressed* Well, that’s true. We do. |
| [Trans. Pocketville.] | |
| (Kate, Magic and the Royal Guards are walking back to the castle. The sun is setting) | |
| Danny | Well, that’s another test passed. |
| Balloon | I agree, but we still need to be cautious. |
| William | We’ll make our decision tomorrow. |
| Magic | *runs up to the guards* Speaking of tomorrow, Kate will need a bed and the princess’s room is free! |
| Danny | The princess’s room?! |
| Balloon | No, it’s a good idea! |
| Magic | It is? |
| William | The perfect solution! |
| Danny | Well, alright... |
| Magic | That’s fantastic! I’ll go and tell her! *Magic runs back* |
| William | Now it will be easier to keep an eye on her. |
| [Trans. Ext. Pocketville Castle] | |
| [Trans. Ava’s bedroom] | |
| (The door opens, and Kate, Magic and William walk in. Kate looks around.) | |
| William | I hope you’ll be comfortable here! |
| Kate | It’s very nice of you to let me sleep here! |
| William | Ava would have done the same. |
| (William looks back and winks. Mela sneaks in and takes a pink handheld mirror from Ava’s vanity.) | |
| William | So, good night! *he leaves* |
| Kate | Good night! |
| (The door closes.) | |
| Kate | *to Magic* Aren’t you leaving too? |
| Magic | Are you kidding? I’m staying with you! |
| (Kate stretches, yawns and lies down on Ava’s bed. She starts to tear up.) | |
| Magic | Are... You crying? |
| Kate | It’s just that I’m afraid. |
| Magic | I won’t let anyone hurt you. |
| Kate | No! Not that kind of afraid. Afraid that I’ll never be able to go home. |
| Magic | But you will. You’ll see. |
| Kate | Not without the princess. You said so yourself. |
| Magic | But we’ll find her! |
| Kate | But what if you don’t?! You won’t get your princess back and I’ll never see my parents again! *she sobs into a pillow* |
| Magic | We’ll find Ava, Katie. Just you wait. |
| (The royal guards have been watching this happen through the handheld mirror.) | |
| Danny | She misses her mum and dad. |
| Mela | We miss the princess! |
| William | I’m glad she’s here so we can see. |
| Balloon | Let’s see... Their sweet heart... is pure. |
| Danny | I keep telling you that! |
| William | We’ll begin the search for the princess tomorrow. |
| Mela | But where should we start? |
| William | We’ll take Kate to meet Evershell and ask for his advice. |
| [Trans. Ever Grey Swamp] | |
| (A snake slithers past some frogs. Two spiders move on a web. Eva arrives with her henchdogs.) | |
| Eva | You’re not tired, surely! *growls* |
| Zull | Well, we have been going on and on all day! |
| Gort | I can’t run anymore! |
| (A birds swoops past Zull and Gort, scaring them and they run away.) | |
| Eva | You’re both useless! Thankfully we have arrived, and we can shelter here *she walks into a hole in a tree* |
| Gort | In the Ever Grey Swamp?! |
| Eva | This shall be base camp! |
| (Zull and Gort look at each other in surprise. Eva comes out of another hole in the tree and walks on a branch.) | |
| Eva | From here I shall take the sceptre from my sister’s paw... *she is wearing half the Friendship Heart* |
| [Trans. the Big City] | |
| (Ava is revealed to be in the Big City, on a pavement.) | |
| Eva | ...Wherever she may be. |
| Ava | Somehow when Zull stole the Friendship Heart, it brought me to the Big City. I have to find a way back to Pocketville! |
| (Building lights start turning off.) | |
| [END] | |
