Prepare for Episode 8 Unity in Unicorn Fairyland.
Now put that card back in any space in the deck that is not the space that you took it from.
Okay, so not right here.
Put it somewhere else.
Right, put it somewhere else.
And you remember what it is, right?
Okay, yes.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Oh, I didn't know what it was.
Okay, you know what?
Let's do it again.
Let me start over.
Okay, we take that.
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
Okay, all right.
Okay, now I'm fanning it out.
Okay, now pick a card and remember what it is, but don't say it out loud.
Don't say it.
Okay, I got it.
Okay, now put it back in a different place.
Put it right here, okay.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
And now I'm going to shuffle this again.
Whoa, you're good at shuffling.
Yeah, we took that trip to Vegas last year.
Yeah.
And, okay, is this your card?
Wait one minute.
Just a yes or a no?
I just...
I just have to let you know that that's my card.
Yes!
Yes!
Amelia, how did you do that?
A magician never reveals her secrets.
Okay, but you have to tell me because I'm kind of...
I'm kind of irate right now that you did that.
That was insane.
You're irate right now?
You're mad at me?
That is blowing my mind.
Okay, well, let me just do it one more time.
Okay, okay.
There's no way you can do it.
Knock, knock.
Hey, kids.
Dad, watch this.
Hey, Dad.
Oh, hey, sorry.
Oh, what are you doing there?
Oh, you guys playing cards?
Pick a card, any card.
She's your real magician, and remember it, but don't tell me what it is.
Okay, I got it.
Okay, now put it back in the deck.
Not the same place.
No, definitely not.
I'm going to get tricky, and I'm going to put it right there.
Okay.
Okay, I'm going to shuffle again.
Okay.
Okay. and fan it out.
Oh wait, no, then pick it out and show.
And is this your card?
Three of clubs.
Yeah, you nailed it.
Wow.
Yes.
Amelia, how did you do it?
A great magician ever tells, right, Amelia?
Yeah, thanks, Dad.
I'd love to see more of these tricks, but I gotta go.
It's my fantasy bass fishing draft tonight.
Oh, I hope you get Cooter Wallace, Dad.
Oh, yeah, well, I'm really hoping for Odd the Foe, so I'm going to show up early.
I wanted Carp Jones.
But anyway, Janice is just going to come by and keep an eye out on you two, okay?
Dad, we can take care of ourselves.
Listen, you're too young to be at home by yourself.
But we've proven to you that we are responsible.
I'm a magician.
Listen, look, it's not you, all right?
I do trust the two of you.
I just would feel better knowing Janice is here, okay?
So anyway, keep your fingers crossed.
Amelia, if you got a little magic dust over there, maybe just say a little wish for Ot the Foe and me, all right.
You got it, Dad.
All right.
I'll be back when I'm back.
All right, Dad.
Win that bass.
Here I go.
Oh my gosh.
Nickledy-knockledy.
Oh.
Hi.
Hi, Janice.
Do I spy a magician?
Looks like you're putting that set to good use.
Amelia, maybe you should put your top hat and cape away because the show's over.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
We just completed it.
The grand finale just happened.
I'm sorry, Janice, but it was really good.
Oh, darn.
I'd love to see it.
I know, but... The cards are still... You know what?
An extra pack of cards?
Oh, well, I used up all my magic, I think, already, because I've done it so many times today.
Yeah, we're kind of worn out by the card trick.
Wait, Amelia, maybe you can make Janice disappear.
Oh.
You kids want to play hide and seek?
I love that.
Yes.
Yeah.
I love it.
Oh, this is the first time you've included me in a game.
I love it.
Well, since it's your first time, you can be it and we'll go hide somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll hide.
Okay.
Now, what are the boundaries?
Because nothing's more fun when playing hide-and-seek than to set a couple of boundaries.
Wow, we love limits and boundaries.
Yeah, let's say within the zip code.
Yeah, within the zip code.
You're a little scoundrel.
How about we say...
This floor and downstairs, not the attic and not the basement.
But those are the best floors.
Yeah.
Well, I just worry because your dad said there was flooding downstairs in the basement.
Well, there's none upstairs, and we're not very comfortable with you being in our bedrooms.
Yeah, those are off limits.
Those are our private sanctuaries.
Yeah, those are our boundaries.
Okay, so not your bedrooms, not the basement, and not outside.
So anywhere else in the house.
But just be careful.
Okay, we will.
You too.
Don't drown in the basement.
How long should I count?
10?
20?
2,000.
We're really good at hiding.
That's a little joker.
I'll do 20.
Okay?
Ready?
On your mark.
Say it.
See, I said gorilla.
Yeah, we heard you say it.
Okay, I'll do it for real this time.
On your mark, get set gosh, oh boy.
Okay, we're gonna go hide, you can just go ahead.
Okay okay, all right okay one two okay, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Come on, get on my shoulders.
Okay, pull it down.
I'm pulling it.
Okay, Are you gonna climb with me on your shoulders?
I'm scampering.
Scamper up.
Okay, go.
We gotta go fast because she's gonna spell us.
Come on up here.
I got the bottle.
I got the bottle.
Okay, ready?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, that was a close call.
This is the best hiding place.
If you think about it, this really is a bad hiding place.
She's never gonna find us.
You wanna get the lid off?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, ready?
One, two, three.
Cranklin!
Cranklin!
Cranklin!
They're all in a meeting?
Quarterly at Profit Reports.
Got it.
Where is the conference room?
Wow.
You ready to go, Arthur?
We get to go down the slide again.
I have to say I think it's so cool Amelia, that you learn to talk robot so you can communicate with Cranklin.
It's really just ones and zeros.
Exactly.
I don't even know what that means.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to go down the slide first, so I don't actually have your back.
Is that okay?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, ready?
One, two, three, go, go!
Yes.
Okay, here I go.
As I was saying, the profits and the eggs are kind of up a lot.
Like too much a lot.
But good quarter for Joe.
All right, that's good to hear, Joe.
But look at this chart here.
I'm really unhappy with your billable hours, Dobbins.
Me?
That's right.
How many hours are you on the Skytanica day?
24.
Right.
How many of those hours are billable on average?
I mean... According to this, only 22.5.
What are you doing with those extra hours?
Sleeping.
Sir, you said I could have a couple hours sleep a night.
I didn't say you couldn't sleep.
I just want you to be billing it.
How can you profit?
The Skytanic and your crew.
Oh, hey, Captain.
Hey, Dobbins.
Hey, Joe.
I was wondering what that smell was.
It's like the beach at low tide.
Children, you're back.
Hello, children.
This is a cool meeting.
You guys talking about boring stuff?
No, it's the most interesting thing of all.
Profits!
Ha, ha, ha.
A captain wants to pay me more.
I didn't even know I got paid until this meeting.
Oh, well, whatever.
You're paying Dobbins.
You should double it.
Well, triple it.
I do pay Dobbins generously.
I put it in a fund on his behalf to make sure that that money is...
Taken care of by a wise investor.
Me!
Yeah, I'm like the child actor from the 80s. from the 80s.
I like that.
The 80s.
Hey, but does Joe get paid too?
Yeah, do I get paid too?
Yes.
Room, board, all the eggs you care to touch.
Oh, I'm set.
I'm good.
I will touch every egg.
That's nice.
And you pay Franklin too, right?
Yeah.
Well, no.
What?
Wait a minute.
Well, on the Cloud C, robots are robots.
Yeah, but why don't you pay a robot?
Yeah, he works just as hard as you all do.
He's got needs.
That's the genius of robots, children.
Something you should learn.
That they don't get paid?
That you don't pay them?
That's right.
They do all the work and expect nothing in return.
What?
He does work hard.
And he's stronger than you, Captain.
Oh, of course.
I made him to be that way.
Well, I had him made to be that way.
I didn't make him.
You know, have you ever thought Captain, that maybe one day Cranklin could overpower you and take over?
Yeah.
What sort of dark timeline are you describing here?
I'm just saying you created him and... Just saying.
Yeah.
If he works for you and you're not going to treat him right.
Yeah, where's his fund?
Well, I reckon I'll be starting one soon.
Don't get any ideas from these rotten children, Cranklin.
I respect you and...
Why, you're the most important member of my crew.
Hmm.
Oh, okay.
Quick question.
Yes?
Do you mean, like, he's your best, like, robot crew?
Yes.
Uh-oh.
Okay.
So, and then the best human crew is...
Hmm.
Let's see.
What's that fella what climbs up the rope real quick?
What's his name?
Skittle?
Skittle!
Ah, yeah.
Have you ever seen him climb that rope?
Skittle?
It's mad the speed with which he can climb a rope.
His toenails get into the hemp and it just go whoop.
Quite a scene, captain.
That's literally all he does.
Ah, a specialist.
He just goes up and then he comes down and he's the best.
Okay, you're convincing me even more.
No, i might do an employee of the month sort of thing, and yeah.
So let's see if we can get a lovely portrait of skibble on the wall there Okay.
Well, I guess we better get down to brass tacks, Cranklin.
What, what?
I'm going to go take a nap.
You know we would also love to get paid if you ever want to do that or start a fund for us to go to college.
I have my eyes set on a few different schools in the East.
And I really want a bike.
Yeah, you know, with two wheels and a trumpet.
Our dad backed up and drove over his... bike so he doesn't have a bike right now so we're sharing a bike and it's a little weird well now we don't really have whatever these two-wheeled carriages are here on the cloud sea could you draw one for us yeah sure yeah let me just use this chalkboard over here okay cool this is a great conference room so basically you draw it's a line right here and has two big wheels like this and i want one that has really cool big handlebars and it has a little like squeaky honky on it what's this squeaky honky called it's called a horn yeah okay okay horn and then um and then it's blue and that is the bike that i want oh and it has a seat where you can sit on it too see right so it's a bunch of triangles and two circles it looks like yeah yeah kind of yeah how do you make the wheels go you pedal them oh right the pedals pedals okay so the pedals go right here you put your feet on them and you move forward and pedal it's a human ambulatory system yeah oh all right Well, tell your kids what.
We've been in a little bit of a booty deficit, as you can see in chart four there.
I don't know.
Your booty looks pretty full to me.
Oh, I've gotten many compliments on my giant booty, but I'd like it to be larger.
And I'm trusting you children to help me achieve that.
I think Joe could probably help you more by whipping you up a bunch of cool snacks and paper.
Yeah, I have no problem with that.
Eggs, egg candy, egg dressage, egg fromage, egg salense.
One of those is a horse exercise.
Yes.
Listen, why are we stolen, children?
Do whatever it is you do to help Cranklin summon the children of Earth from the ether.
We need a new island to plunder.
Yeah, whatever.
Hello, my name is Isla and I live in New York City.
And I think you should go to Unicorn Fairyland.
And like all sorts of fairies, they build all sorts of inventions and stuff.
And fairies are real.
The treasure is diamonds and gold.
A golden ring.
Oh my goodness.
Wow.
I bet Isla is the only child that doesn't stink.
She sounds real cool, like she lives in a little seashell.
I happened to be reading about New York, and I understood that in their land, fairies are not real.
But up here, fairies are everywhere.
Wow.
How does she know?
Wow.
That's so cool.
I've heard the tale of Unicorn Fairyland for many a year, but only through the power of Wait.
What was her name again?
Isla?
Isla.
Isla.
Can we finally reach it?
Yeah.
You're telling me that unicorns and fairies are real?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, I mean, have I seen one?
No.
But I know they're real.
Arthur.
Yeah.
We're going to see unicorns and fairies.
I know.
We finally get to see them.
I can't believe this.
Okay, yes.
We will go get your...
We will go get the treasure.
Amelia is so excited right now.
Now listen, there are diamonds and there are gold.
But there is one particular ring that I've really heard about and would really like to have in me booty.
Okay.
Sorry, let me say that again.
But there is... laughter laughter I would like to add to me booty.
Well, is that better?
I'd like to add a particular treasure to me booty.
What treasure would you like in your booty?
It's a golden ring.
With diamonds in it?
Set with diamonds, it's made of gold, and it is infused with fairy magic.
What?
What?
Fairy magic?
It's said that if you can put it on your finger, you can fly like a fairy.
I've always wanted to fly.
And you know what?
If I could fly...
I guess we wouldn't need Skittle anymore, would we?
I could just butt beat right up to the top and down, fly, fly, so.
That's a great idea, Dobbins.
Yeah.
I've got lots of them, not that anyone noticed.
I doubt a flying Dobbins could go up as fast as a climbing Skibble.
Yeah, and then I think we could just fire him.
Oh, no, just thinking, just spitballing.
Or just give him another job, maybe.
Throw him overboard.
Yeah, I mean, it sounds like you might want to do some reorg on your organizational chart.
Yeah, something that's better fit.
All right.
So we're going to go to Unicorn Fairyland.
Yeah, you see that small door over there?
Yeah.
Go through there.
That's a direct tunnel.
It will lead you right up to the boat.
Wow.
Wait, wait, wait, children.
Real quick before you leave.
Don't forget that unicorns can be very, very dangerous.
What?
Well, I'm allergic to horses.
Does that mean I'm going to be allergic to unicorns?
Aye, and everyone is allergic to their horn.
Very sharp.
Okay, do you have any tips for talking to one?
Well, no, I would never get near a unicorn.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, you have to run.
Have you seen the drawings of those horns?
They look sharp as a sword.
But beautiful and magical.
Yeah.
Now, if you go through that small door, through a tunnel, up a ladder, you'll see the cloud car.
Cool.
Okay.
Thank you.
Millie, you go first, okay?
I got your back.
Okay, you got my back.
Good luck on your synergy.
Yeah.
All right, let's get to that org chart now.
I'm in there.
Oh, my goodness.
Okay.
You behind me still?
Oh, yeah.
I'm right here.
Okay.
Going up the ladder.
Okay.
Oh, there it is.
It's right there.
It's like a loading dock.
I'm going to push the button.
You ready to pull the lever?
Okay, ready?
One, two, three.
Amelia, don't pass out.
I know this is everything you've always dreamed of.
This island is purple.
I've never seen purple grass.
It's beautiful.
And look, this sun is literally just a big ball of glitter.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
You remember Kelsey in my grade?
She would love this.
She's a real horse girl.
Oh, you should...
You should pick one of these sparkle flowers and put it in your pocket.
Maybe you can take it back home to her.
Oh, yeah, maybe.
I mean, you know, take only photos, leave only footprints, but.
And the thing that we're stealing.
Is that from chicken soup for the soul?
Excuse me.
Excuse me, large ones.
Hello there, large ones.
Oh, hi.
Oh, please, please be careful.
Your foots are very close to my house.
Oh, hi.
Are you a fairy?
Yes, yes.
But more importantly, I'm a baker and I make delicious treats for the fairies here.
Oh, we're so sorry.
I'm Amelia, and this is my brother Arthur.
Hi, I'm Arthur.
It's our first time here.
Oh, well, welcome.
Welcome.
It's good to have you here.
Thank you.
What's your name?
Yeah, what's your name?
My name is Baker, the Baker.
Oh, okay.
Blake Baker.
What was that?
First name Blake, last name Baker, Occupation Baker.
Like Baker.
Like Baker.
That sounds like a country singer.
Make, who you talking to?
Oh, come out.
There are some large ones out here.
They almost stepped on our house, but they seem very friendly.
Hi.
Hi, I'm Amelia, and this is my brother, Arthur.
Hi, I'm Arthur.
Hello.
Hi.
My name's Make Baker.
Baker.
And I'm a maker.
Oh.
Oh.
I'm the wife of Blake Baker, the baker.
It's very nice to meet both of you.
Make is your maker.
She makes lots of things.
She's got a little craft she shed out there in the back behind the mushroom we live in.
Yes.
A bit of a tinkerer show.
Yes.
Do you think it would be all right if I picked one of these sparkle flowers?
Ooh.
For her friend Kelsey.
You got to know Kelsey.
She'd love it.
She'd love it.
What do you think, Blake?
I suppose that's okay.
A little keepsake.
Just to make sure no one lives.
Sometimes you might see something that's like it's a dwelling.
Oh, it also looks like it's just like blending into nature because that's how fairies live.
We like to live among nature.
We're scattered throughout the island.
That's right.
Oh, wow.
Well, we're on the search for a particular item.
It's a golden ring with diamonds in it and it has fairy magic inside.
Magic oh yes yes, everybody knows about the.
The one ring fairy ring.
Yes, the one ring to rule them all.
Yes, that's right, that's right.
Is that what y'all call it, the fairy ring ring?
Yes, it's the fairy ring, the one fairy ring we have here.
It's just one ring.
Yes, to rule them all.
That's right, it does rule them all.
Yeah, that sounds familiar.
Perhaps maybe know where we could find the ring.
Yeah, oh yes yes, it's always flying around the island, flying around all around.
It has the power of flight, you see.
Oh, because it has fairy magic.
That's right.
That's all you heard about it.
Yeah, so if we wanted to, say, grab it, would we use like a net, like a butterfly net?
Yeah, could we catch it?
What's so funny?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
No, you can't just grab it.
We've never touched it, you know, because it's from ancient times.
It's very old.
Yes, that's right.
Very old.
So the only way we know of to grab it is a unicorn can spear it with its horn.
That's crazy.
Who would get near a unicorn?
Oh, no, that would be a ludicrous idea.
Ludicrous.
The horns are so loud.
But unicorns are nice, right?
Can they be nice?
Oh, bless their little hearts.
Your experience may vary, but no, we fairies don't go anywhere near this.
Have you ever heard of a hoof?
Do you know what a hoof is?
We have horses and I'm allergic to them, so I'm hoping that I'm not going to be allergic to the unicorns.
And horses has hooves.
Horses has hooves.
Yes, so those hooves, they love to stomp on us.
Yes, they just stomp on things.
They've ruined entire communities.
Wait a minute.
It's terrible.
How big are these?
Unicorns.
Gigantic.
They're like even bigger than you.
Even bigger than you.
Triple the size.
Really?
So horse size maybe.
Maybe you're just horse size.
Yeah, you're right.
It's a regular horse.
What is regular, though?
Oh, yeah, I guess that's a relative term.
You're being pretty specious right now.
I'm sorry.
I was whispering to my brother.
I thought that would...
Oh, I apologize.
There's something you should know about fairies.
We have very good cinches, too.
Blush, you're gigantic, so even a whisper sounds like shouting.
Oh, sorry.
I'm going to go get my earplugs.
Yes, I think you might have ruptured my cochlea.
I'm so sorry, Blake.
So nice to meet you, children.
So nice to meet you.
So nice to meet you.
Good luck.
Don't get skewered by a unicorn.
Bye.
Bye.
Okay.
Okay, so now we've got to find that flying golden ring.
Okay, I'm going to pick this sparkle flower real quick.
Wow, did you see all the sparkle dust that just went everywhere?
Yes, it's like glitter.
Hey, we should put some of this glitter on our face.
How cool would that be?
That would be cool.
Then we could blend in.
Here we go.
Wait a minute.
Your face is turning purple.
What?
Your face is turning purple.
No way.
Oh, we're all purple.
Oh, my God.
This is awesome.
We match the grass.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
It looks like there's a path.
You want to follow this?
These sparkle flowers are lining this path for us.
Oh, I don't know what I see horse hoof prints.
Wait, unicorn hoof prints in the grass.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
I see it.
What?
Oh my gosh.
Do you think we're going to run into any unicorn poop?
Oh, if we do, I bet it would be a big sparkly... You know like the poop emoji on the phone?
I bet it'd be like that, but it'd be sparkly.
Yeah, and like pink, and maybe it smells like cotton candy.
You should take that to Kelsey.
She'd love it.
Well, I don't...
I guess we'll see if it smells or if it's okay.
That's a good idea.
That's a good thought.
You're really nice, Arthur, to think about Kelsey at a time like this.
Well, Kelsey's really cool.
Arthur?
What?
Do you have a crush on Kelsey?
I didn't say that.
Okay.
All right, well, let's follow these horse hoofs.
I mean, these unicorn hoof primps.
Oh, my gosh.
I see.
It looks like a tail whipping back and forth.
Oh, my gosh.
Hey.
Hi.
Hello?
Hello?
I'm Amelia, and behind me is my brother Arthur.
I'm Arthur.
I'm stronger, but I'm hiding behind her to protect her.
He's got my back.
You're big and purple.
Hi.
Thank you.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
What's your name?
My name is Euclid.
I'm a unicorn.
You're...
You're really beautiful, Euclid.
Wow.
We've never seen a real unicorn before.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, you've seen one now.
You're looking right at him.
You sound like a motorcycle.
Yeah, I did not expect that voice out of a unicorn.
Yeah.
I don't know what you're talking about, but you sure are nice.
It's good to see someone kind of my size.
Yeah, is that your guitar?
Yeah, I like to jam.
Wow, you seem really cool.
Y'all want me to play free bird?
I'll do it.
Oh, cool.
All right.
I won't do it right now.
I got to get my special hoof extenders on.
Sorry about that.
It's okay.
We hear it every Sunday because Dad blasts it in the garage.
Yeah.
I know who Dad is, but he sounds righteous.
Anyway, y'all seem new around here.
We are.
What you up to?
We're looking for the magical golden ring to rule them all.
Why does everyone laugh when we say that?
Man, everybody on this ding-ding island looking for that ding-ding ring.
Really?
Why?
Yeah.
Well, here's the thing.
If you put one kind of fairy magic together with another kind of fairy magic...
What's going to happen is everybody's going to get along.
And for years, us unicorns and them fairies have been having some problems.
So everybody's looking for the ding-dang-ring-dang to put the fairy magic together and get the peace truce started.
But can't nobody find it.
It just flies around.
It just flies around.
Wow.
Well, we heard that only a unicorn can grab it.
With your horn.
You spear it with your horn.
Okay.
Now see, that's also where we have a problem, because these unicorn horns are mostly used for spearing fairies.
And that's what we like to do with them.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
We prefer spearing fairies with our horns.
Why did you ever start fighting with the fairies?
Man, they just really irritate me.
What?
Euclid!
Euclid!
Who's that?
Oh, dang, dang it.
It's Queen Unicorn.
It is I, Queen Kelsey of the Unicorns.
Oh my gosh!
Y'all bow down.
Come on, don't be rude.
Your Highness.
A pleasure and an honor.
We bow down to you.
Hello, children it is, I presume?
Yes, I'm Amelia.
I'm Arthur.
Euclid, you know we don't talk to children or fairies or aminos.
Yes, I know Your Majesty, but they came up on me on surprise like they was looking for my scat in the woods and I just I don't know.
I got excited.
I'm not allowed to talk to people who aren't unicorns, so this is very exciting.
You're not allowed to talk to anyone, Euclid.
Miss Queen Unicorn, if I may, that seems like a...
Queen Kelsey, please.
Oh, sorry.
Queen Kelsey.
How could I forget?
My friend's name is Kelsey.
She is not going to believe this.
What's that you're saying?
Well Kelsey, it's just that It doesn't seem like it's a very nice rule for you to not let anybody talk to anybody.
It doesn't seem like a very nice rule that you're on my island without my permission.
Euclid, take them to the dungeon now!
What?
It's not really a rule.
It was just a misguided attempt to oh, i'm sorry, we're out of earshot now.
Oh god sorry, i think i might be allergic to you.
Well, consume tight, that's okay yeah um hey, we're out of earshot, but i, i i'm gonna be nicer to you, but i'm still gonna take you to the dungeon.
Do you really have?
We have to go to the dungeon.
She's not very nice to you, you put.
No, everything Queen Kelsey says, we got to do.
She's the duly elected magistrate of this island, and we've ceded all our power to her.
Honestly, I kind of think that we started spearing the fairies because she don't like them.
Oh.
We need to figure out what the source of that is.
And maybe she can mend her relationship with the fairies.
Yeah.
And then if we can get the diamond ring.
You guys have already figured everything out, so we could just... Hail Euclid.
I see you have two captors.
Are you bringing them to the dungeon?
Yes, Sven, I'm bringing them in.
Yeah, come on.
I got two new registrants.
They're big, they're purple, they're sparkly, they're children.
Those do not look like the typical fairies we put in the dungeon.
Hi, we're not fairies.
We're human.
We're kids.
Human children.
You're sparkly like a fairy.
You're purple like a fairy.
Yeah.
She's very big.
I've never got to stomp on a big fairy.
Put some of this sparkle pollen on us, and I think maybe we're having an allergic reaction.
Yeah, sorry, Amelia.
You might be allergic to unicorns.
Strangely, I am.
To my own dander.
Oh, that's sad.
What's your name?
What's your name?
Sven.
Yeah.
Sven.
Sven.
Sven Sparkle Pony.
Sven Sparkle Pony.
This is my cutie mark.
It's a tough squishing of a fairy.
Oh, wow.
That's my specialty.
Yeah.
Squishing fairies.
Sven, I don't know what to tell you.
They're not fairies.
They're not going to fit in the fairy dungeon, so I don't know what to tell you.
I don't really know what to do.
They're too big to fit in the cell unless I stomp them down a lot.
Oh, please don't stomp us.
Maybe I could juice them.
Oh, we don't want to be juiced.
What did Queen Kelsey say?
She said put them in the dungeon, so I brought them here.
All right, well, I guess they got to just stay in my office area.
That's the only place they can accommodate their large frames.
Okay.
You got, like, a device or something you can have them watch while you plop them down in there?
Just, you know, make them be quiet for a little while?
Yeah, you have an iPad?
Yeah, our phone.
I don't have anything in my pad, but I got some artwork you could look at.
And let your imagination run wild.
This just looks like a circle sitting inside of a square.
Yeah, it's like modern art.
It's my favorite.
That way your mind can really just like go wild with imagination.
You know what I see in it?
I see that one ring that's flying around everywhere.
That circle looks like that ring.
Oh, yeah, you've seen that ring.
You know what?
I used to think the ring was a myth, but you're not going to believe this.
What?
I just saw it.
You did?
Where is it?
Where was it?
Well, it was like northbound, right in front of the dungeon.
Heading, you're not going to like the sound of this, the fairy tower.
Fairy tower?
Yeah, the fairy tower.
Of course, where no unicorn would dare go.
That's perfect.
It's not perfect.
No, no.
If I ever wanted to like spear that on the tip of my horn.
You think I'm going to go near that fairy tower?
No way.
Shoot, I forgot we have to do that whole thing.
Why are you scared of the fairies?
Well, because they have to, like you know, attack us on sight, because our queen has said we have to attack them on sight, and there's a whole thing.
I don't really know, but we follow orders.
I'm a good unicorn.
Okay. okay so y'all been following orders for a very long time and the whole reason that you don't talk to the fairies is because the queen has a problem with them i say you step out of your comfort zone and you come with us to the fairy tower whoa arthur that was really brave of you to say really you think so tell kelsey listen big purple okay That all sounds well and good, but you don't understand.
I've sworn an oath to my queen.
I would never disobey her.
Well, where's the oath?
Oh, is that the oath right there framed on the wall?
That's right.
In fact, I read it every morning.
Can I see it?
It's an affirmation.
That's a quote.
Thank you.
Let me just see.
I'm just going to break on my knee.
What?
My oath.
Rip in half.
It's already been broken, so I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
Wow, I broke your oath.
Arthur, that was amazing.
Tell Kelsey.
Very cool what I just did.
And so now you have to come with us.
I guess as an oath breaker, it doesn't really matter what I do anymore.
Yeah, it doesn't exist, so there's no oath to break.
I've never felt so free.
Yeah, let's go to the fairy tower.
Let's go.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
Can you peel my cutie mark off first?
Because if they see that cutie mark, it's even going to be worse for them.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just a sticker.
Yeah, it's just a sticker.
It's really sticking to that foot a little bit.
Okay, no, just, you know, all at once.
Don't do it slow.
All at once.
I'm so sorry.
No, it's okay.
But listen, Sven, when we see fairies, you're going to have to suppress your urge.
Remember, you've been training and doing this forever to smush fairies.
I need your protection if you're going to take me into fairy lands.
You know what I'm saying?
We'll protect you and you got to protect us and help us get that ring.
We got each other's.
We got all of our backs.
Have your back.
We're going to sit on your back and have it.
Yep.
Works for me.
Okay, here we go.
Northbound this way, right?
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
The island kind of spins, so it changes, but I think it's roughly this direction.
Wow.
You're so fast.
Why, thank you.
Wow.
Hold on to my mane.
It's just in my face a little bit.
Sorry, I do have problem dander.
Sorry, Amelia.
Amelia keeps sneezing because she's allergic.
No, I get it.
Me too.
Sometimes when I go real fast, I can outpace my own dander.
I'm so sorry.
And I'm going to take it to the next level of speed.
Her eyes are swollen shy.
Are we close to the tower?
I can't see it.
I mean, I can't understand you.
Hold on.
I've got to do a quick stop.
Quick stop.
Attack!
Oh, they've already spotted us.
No.
No.
Hold on.
He's got some power.
Come on.
Ah!
On my ear!
When I'm biting my ear!
Ah!
Wait, does anyone have vortex?
Oh, wait.
Amelia, I have some in my pocket from camp last week.
Oh, my gosh.
Can I please have that one?
Yeah, the last one.
Thank you.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait, please, please, please.
Everybody stop.
Just listen to these purple people.
Hi, my name is Amelia.
I've just recently taken some Zartek, so it should be kicking in.
A little more.
This is my brother, Arthur.
My name's Arthur, and my voice sounds like this.
I'm not sick.
I am.
So, listen, do any of you know why you're even fighting?
Um, we don't want to get squished anymore.
Yeah.
Okay.
But you like unicorns otherwise?
Um... I mean... They mostly just squish us, so it's really hard to tell.
Hard to show.
It's hard to separate the action.
I get it.
Listen, we are very likable people, but we have our orders, you know?
We just got to kind of do some squishing.
That's what we're told to do.
Not anymore.
Remember, Arthur broke the oath.
So now you don't have to squish nothing.
Arthur broke my oath, but there are many other unicorns with oaths of their own.
Baby, I've always hated unicorns, so it's really hard for me to think outside of the box.
Yeah, my parents were not unicorn fans and their parents were not unicorn fans fans, and my children are not unicorn fans and if i have grandchildren and i'm lucky enough to see them, they won't be unicorn fans either.
Yeah wow okay, you know, i'm really feeling kind of like attacked right now, Sticking a sword in your thigh.
Oh, I thought there was like a mosquito sticking... Twist!
Okay, that is mildly uncomfortable.
Why do you not like the fairies?
Do you think, now that you don't have an oath anymore, do you think you might like the fairies?
Yeah.
Look, they're very cute.
My art used to be like some fairies playing poker that i had in my office, but then the queen heard about it.
I had to come down.
All right listen, just between us here in this clearing.
Something happened between the queen and the fairy king.
I think oh, and that's why this whole thing's going on.
But spin just pawn in this whole thing.
Just a small cog in a much bigger machine.
Wow.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I heard that, too.
We don't keep up with unicorn politics, but we are aware that there is a leader, and the head of state is the one who is waging this war on us.
We know.
Wow, so this is just about two old-fashioned people who don't like each other.
Well, that's not what I heard.
That's not what I heard.
Oh, what did you hear?
Spill the tea.
I heard, what I heard is, can you hear me unicorn shit come up by your ear?
Yeah, here, just rest of my hand.
The ear you were just biting?
Yeah, that'd be great.
I heard that King, his name is King Polyp.
Polyp, that's a cool name.
Yeah, his name is King Pollock and he's actually one of the only fairies that's big, and I heard that he had a crush on Queen Kelsey and then he tried to be her boyfriend and then she was like uh.
Well, you're my boyfriend.
And then Kathy was like, I'm a unicorn.
You're cute, but no thanks.
And anyways, that's what I heard.
OK well, do you think maybe, if you would allow us access, perhaps we and Sven could go up to the top of your tower and maybe we could look for that ring, and then maybe we can.
I mean, you can you can try.
I mean, it's not like I want to constantly be at war.
Okay.
Right, Larissa?
Yeah, this is exhausting.
It's a waste of our resources.
We really just want to like make things and make things and take things to our friends and, you know, just have a good time.
Larissa, you really explained it all for us.
That's what I do.
She's, like, actually the smartest person in the town.
Oh, wow.
You said make things and bake things.
Do y'all know Maker and Blake Baker?
Oh, yeah, Maker and Blake.
Yep.
Yeah, they live on the outskirts.
Well, okay, let's get on Sven's back and get up and get this ring.
Hold on just a second.
I'm a little nervous, after what just happened, about getting closer to that tower where I saw the ring flying.
I'll be honest, I wouldn't take Finn with you.
Probably because, one, he couldn't fit up that tower.
I mean, you can because you're a little smaller.
You know what it is?
You guys are about the size of King Pollock.
But how do we get the ring without a unicorn?
Larissa, would you explain it all, please?
I will do my best.
The ring is enchanted by fairy magic, which means that it can travel very fast and go very far.
But we don't tell a lot of people.
Well, we know because we guard the fairy tower.
What we don't tell a lot of people is that we actually can just tell the ring where to go whenever we want.
Yeah, King Edward's in charge of it.
King Pollop?
I mean, yeah.
Sorry.
Yeah, King Pollop's in charge of it.
Who's King Edward?
Oh, well, his last name's Edward.
Oh, okay.
King Pollop Edward.
Can we talk to the king then?
Um, well, I mean, I guess like, yeah, I guess so.
Yeah.
Okay.
Would you just tell us where he is?
This is awesome, but I would love to just get talking to that guy.
Okay.
Let's get going.
Listen, purple ones, I'm going to remain here hidden in this clearing.
Okay, stay safe, Sven.
If you need a ride, I'll be here.
Yeah, you will remain here because we'll keep you trapped.
Oh, well, now let's start trusting each other maybe a little bit.
Y'all can work it out while we're gone.
I'll negotiate.
You go ahead.
You go ahead, Clarissa.
Clarissa.
Follow me.
Bye, Larissa.
Here we go.
Yeah, go down this little path.
I mean, no, you can see it in the distance, but you know, this will pass.
Okay.
Okay?
And just be careful because it gets dark when we get in the woods right before it, okay?
Okay.
So don't be scared.
Okay.
Sorry, little boy, you look like someone you might be scared easily.
Hey, what?
He's the bravest boy in the world.
I'm so brave.
I got this.
I walk ahead so he can keep an eye out for what's behind us, because he's really brave to deal with that stuff.
Being in the caboose is really brave.
He told me that's the most dangerous space to be in.
It is.
Are you going to keep coming with us or do we have to leave you here?
I'm coming.
Just follow me.
I'm just Don't have as big of legs as you.
Sorry.
Oh, sorry.
We'll walk a wheel slower for you.
Would you like a ride?
Yeah.
Yeah, please.
Here.
Oh, yeah.
Get on my shoulder.
Cool.
Wow.
You smell good.
Wow.
Oh, gosh.
I've always wanted to meet a human.
I've always wanted to meet a fairy.
Well, I guess we have a lot in common.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, see up ahead?
Uh-huh.
You see the tower?
It looks like that there's no door, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah well, there is really weird.
Yeah okay, see that little pebble down there at the base.
Yeah yeah, that one that's kind of bluish.
Yeah, take that and turn it three times.
Okay, i'll do it.
Oh okay one two, three.
Oh my gosh.
It's just like magic.
It looks like it's part of the wall.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
I got to show this door a card trick.
You should.
It's like magic.
Okay, follow me up these stairs at Spiral Staircase and King Paul of Edwards top of it.
Okay okay well, i can take these steps two at a time.
Yeah okay, except it looks like it's like 7 000 feet of stairs.
Oh, it is.
How long is it gonna take us?
I don't know.
Do you have any?
Maybe fairy magic that could help us get up to the top?
Oh my God.
It's so embarrassing.
Why didn't I think about it?
I could have just magicked us here.
I'm so sorry.
That's okay.
It's so embarrassing.
Yeah, let's go.
Whoa.
Wow.
We're here.
King Pollock.
Oh, hey there, Clarissa.
What's going on?
Some visitors and um, i'll just be right outside the door, don't mind me, but dad does have a couple questions for you.
Oh wow, you two are pretty big.
Uh, i ain't never seen no fairies this big and you don't have wings.
What's going on?
Where'd you come from Wow?
Well, we're not fairies.
We're human kids.
I'm Amelia.
I am Arthur, and you sound like Elvis Presley.
I never heard of that person, but come over here.
Let me see you.
I want to see how tall you are.
Like, am I taller than you or are you taller than me?
Come here.
All right, you're about the same height.
Yeah, I think you and I are back to back.
I'm a little taller, it seems like.
Well, hold on, no, your hand, you're doing the hand thing, but your hand kind of is creeping up.
I think I'm a little taller.
You can tell I'm a little taller, probably.
No, I think you're.
No, I think you're.
I mean, I don't think you're intending to do it, but your hand's kind of creeping up when you do that.
It's more like that.
Like, I'm meeting you, you're meeting me right about on my forehead.
If you guys both stand against the wall, I can mark you with a pencil.
Let's do that.
Don't tiptoe.
In fact, you know what?
I'll take my shoes off if you take your shoes off.
You do kind of count the top of my crown.
That's part of the whole deal.
Is that part of your body?
Yeah, the crown counts okay yeah okay, right there.
And then yep yep, looks like i'm a crown taller than you, exactly one.
Now, it's because it's a crown, but i'll let it slide.
Arthur, you're still growing.
Oh, yeah.
I have years of growth to do.
All right.
So you're Arthur.
I heard your name.
How about you over here?
I'm Amelia.
All right.
Well, welcome to my castle.
I'm the king.
Thank you.
This is where my throne room is, and I kind of like people come in.
I give them audiences, and I give them wisdom and things like that.
Wow.
So, yeah, like what's going on?
What do you need?
Well, we're interested in this –
Ring that's been flying around.
Do you know the one ring to rule them all?
The ancient one.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It zoomed in here today.
It's flying around the tower today, up, down, all around.
It's crazy.
You ever seen that thing?
It's crazy.
Yeah, we were hoping to grab it.
We heard that maybe it was something that you were going to give to somebody else.
Come on.
Come on now.
Why would I give that to somebody else?
You know, it's a real nice ring.
Flying around, it's real fun to watch.
I don't know.
I mean, why would you give a nice ring to somebody?
What would be your reason?
I don't know.
Well, yeah, you were going to give that to somebody.
It'd be somebody you were really into, you know what I'm saying?
And there's nobody like that around this island for me, so...
The only one that would probably be appropriate for you would be maybe like Queen Kelsey or something.
Yep.
Did you not see the plaque on the wall?
You're not supposed to say that name in here.
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want to talk about it.
Okay.
You mean the one that says keep calm and fairy on?
No, no, no.
Don't talk about it.
Well, OK.
Well then, in that case, if you don't need the ring and you don't want to talk about this, could you just help us grab it then?
And we could just take care of it for you and you wouldn't have to worry about it.
You don't have to see it anymore.
It doesn't remind you of anything.
Yeah, no, I mean, that's a that's a good idea.
But like, let me just hit you with a hypothetical.
OK, let's say things change down the line sometime and like, you know.
Queen Kelsey like is like well, you know, I like this guy and I'm going to go talk to him and then like maybe she'll own a thing.
I mean, this is all hypothetical.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, this is made up.
I get it.
It's a pretend situation.
So, I mean, you know, in that scenario, it would be a nice piece to have.
Sure.
You know, it's like for a negotiating tool or something like that.
Yeah, that could happen.
Also, you know, what else would be cool is if, let's say, the three of us hypothetically just grabbed it and then we used it to create peace.
And then you and Queen Kelsey wouldn't need like, a ring to do anything.
Or you could like make a ring together or something that isn't like.
Like make a ring together like a project.
Yeah because, like a ring, if it's like oh, you already got her this ring, you might not want to show up with that ring again and be like I didn't get you anything new.
Yeah, same old one.
Yeah, you do something brand new.
Or hypothetically, we just take the ring and you go see um queen kelsey again, y'all make up and then we see you later with the ring.
Did she, did she?
Did she say something to you like she wanted to make up?
Is that a thing she said to you?
She didn't say that she didn't want to make up Oh.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
All right.
We'll tell you what.
You arrange an audience in a neutral location.
Neutral location.
And, yeah, maybe we'll bring that there ring along.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Well, then you just await our raven.
I can just magic you wherever you need to be.
I mean, we don't need to be.
I don't want to wait.
I'm a king.
I don't wait.
I don't wait.
Well, then could you put us back?
I want to like, bing, bang, boom.
I'm talking like next two minutes.
Okay, well, we saw Queen Kelsey in the courtyard where Euclid was.
Could you take us to Euclid's courtyard?
Was she in dappled sunlight?
Yeah.
I feel like she's always in a good view.
It's like wherever you look at her, whatever angle, she's got really good lighting.
How's she wearing her hair nowadays?
Just curious.
In a braid like a braid, but it's like a French braid kind of.
But there's other pieces that come down.
I love it when you braid up that mane.
It's real nice.
Yeah, she's got flowers in it.
Yeah, I like that.
She sparkles because of her personality.
Yeah, no, she really does.
She really does sparkle in a malicious way, I think.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm not saying I'm lying.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's the best sparkle comes from maliciousness.
Malicious.
All right.
I'll tell you what.
Let me magic you over there.
I'm going to send Clarissa with you, all right?
Okay.
So if you need a magic back over here or whatever, you know, click, bang, boom, like that.
Okay.
Thanks.
All right.
Here, I'm going to give you a little extra.
Here's a handful of fairy dust.
That's going to transport you.
And just in case you need it, just in case, I'm going to give you a little spare pouch of fairy dust.
Thank you.
Cool.
But only use it if you really, really need it.
You know what I'm saying?
It's pretty precious.
You can get a lot of money for that.
We'll save it.
We won't spend it.
Okay.
Yay!
I was listening at the door.
Oh, cool, cool, cool.
Yay!
Also, see this pile over here?
Yeah.
Those are my golden diamonds.
Just thought you might want to see them.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
That's cool.
They're really nice.
Okay, Clarissa, can we go?
Yeah, let's go.
Whoa.
Oh, wow.
That was so fast.
Hey, you played.
You played rock and roll again.
Hi, Euclid.
We're back.
Hey, man.
I see you back.
Oh, my.
Oh, hey.
It's a fairy.
It's a little fairy.
This is our friend Clarissa.
Clarissa.
Hi.
Euclid, do you think that maybe we could talk to Queen Kelsey for a moment?
I mean, I'll go call her.
She just got done with lunch.
She might be a little loggy, but yeah, I'll get her.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right.
Yep.
Okay.
We just have to be nice.
Yes.
Be calm.
And work out.
Yeah.
I feel good about this.
Hello, children.
Your Majesty.
Hi, Queen.
Kelsey.
I see your purple is fading.
Yes, we are turning back to us, I guess.
It took a Zyrtec.
Yeah, we've been here a minute, and you know...
Frankly, we wanted to let you know that we talked to someone that might want to talk to you.
There's no one I want to talk to that you would know.
Well, it's another, you know, royalty, so somebody sort of probably within your social sphere.
Oh.
Your socioeconomic class.
Oh.
Nay, I don't know who you speak of.
Well, his name is King Polyp.
Oh.
And he asked how you looked, and he asked if you were glowing as per usual.
Um...
Well, we haven't spoken in months.
Years, rather.
You know, what I like to do with my friend Kelsey is we like to have a picnic in a neutral location together.
Oh.
Would you consider maybe having a picnic with King Polyp in a neutral location?
Would apples and barley be there by any chance?
Yes, all your friends.
You can invite anyone you want.
That's a type of food, dear.
I guess you don't have that where you're from.
No, we do.
I just didn't.
Names here are different.
Like Kelsey.
Understandable.
Well, yes, I suppose I could.
Okay, then it's done.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
Okay well, we're just going to use a little bit of this fairy dust and we can pop back over and meet in the neutral park.
What neutral park is that?
I thought that's what it was called.
It was neutral park.
Oh, yes.
I forgot about that part.
Yes.
Yeah.
All right.
Arthur, do you take a little sprinkle?
And Kelsey, you take a little sprinkle?
Yeah.
Clarissa, are you coming too?
Yeah, I'm staying.
Hang out with you.
Okay.
We kind of became friends.
Okay.
Well, can you just let King Polyp know that we're going to be there in like a half a second?
Oh, yeah.
I can go tell him.
Bye.
Okay.
Bye.
Okay.
Wow.
Okay.
Ready?
One, two, three.
Oh, that was so fast.
This is a nice park.
It's a lake over there.
This is beautiful.
All right, let's get this blanket laid out flat over here.
Oh, King Paula.
Hey, King.
Oh, hello, Queen Kelsey.
King Paula, what's up?
Fancy meeting you here.
Wow, that's a really nice basket that you brought, King Polyp, filled with apples.
That is right.
I got some apples.
I got some barley.
I brought along some alfalfa.
I don't know.
I just thought maybe it might be nice to have some alfalfa.
That's really nice.
Yeah, and I got some peanut butter, mayonnaise, and bacon sandwiches over here, too.
I knew it.
I knew it.
I don't know.
So Queen, these here human people, sort of larger creatures here, said that you know we ought to come over here and talk about whatever.
I don't know, but I was like, all right, fine.
You came up to the throne room and asked.
I'll give it a try, but...
You know, they didn't know that we don't really talk about things.
We're really not happy with each other.
And our people fight each other.
So, you know, I don't think they understood that.
Quick question.
I can't remember why we were fighting in the first place.
Is that crazy?
And you know, it is kind of silly.
I mean, I know we were really mad, but I'm kind of, I'm a little blank on the details.
Me too.
I guess when you miss someone, it's...
Hard to remember those kind of details.
Yeah, well, I mean, who is it you'd be missing there?
I just had a curiosity.
Like, you know, your parents or an old friend that left or something like that?
You?
Oh, well, I mean, you know, I...
I mean, I miss the times we used to hang out.
Right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah, I mean we used to have.
You know, we used to be pretty good friends, you know pretty good friends.
Sometimes I would braid your mane.
Yes.
So romantic.
Yeah, yeah, or brush out your coat, you know.
Sometimes I would pick gnats out of your beard.
Oh, geez.
Cut to the chase.
You both miss each other and you love each other.
Well, hold on a second.
That's a strong word there.
You know what I'm saying?
You both like each other a whole lot.
A whole lot.
Polyp, I do like you a lot and I'm tired of pretending like I don't.
Do you like me too?
Check yes or no.
You know what?
I've been carrying this note in my pocket ever for the years since we've been fussing and fighting and feuding, and it says the exact same thing.
You still have it?
I sure do.
I didn't have it.
Didn't have the nerve to give it to you, and then whatever, that stupid fight we had, and then I just kind of got mad.
I kept it in my pocket here.
So yeah, I'd punch that yes hole with my horn.
If I had one, would you punch it with yours?
You know what I'm saying?
You know?
Oh, it almost skewered me, but uh, you all you know, you spent so long just fighting, when really you're just so much alike.
Yep.
This is like season two of the wire.
Oh, Amelia.
Dad said not to watch that.
I know, but it's the second season is dangerous.
Oh, Look!
Fairies are forming a heart around them.
Oh, my gosh.
Children, thank you so much.
Yes, of course.
Thank you, you human children.
You know, you managed to handle something that we just, you know, we couldn't handle ourselves.
So I definitely think that...
Between the two of us, with my fairy power and your horn, queen, that we could grab at their ring no problem.
Wow.
Oh, is that what you want?
Well, that would be nice, yeah.
I mean, that's all right.
It'd be cool, I guess, yeah.
Oh, I remember what the fight was, Paula.
Oh.
Yeah?
What was it?
You tried to give me that ring, and I said, that won't fit on this hoof.
How could you not know?
Yeah, but I didn't want it to go on your hoof.
You did give me a chance to get to the point, and then you started huffing and puffing and shouting, and then you didn't even let me tell you it was going to be on your horn, which it was perfectly sized for.
Oh.
Had a friend.
Anyway.
I'm so sorry.
All of these years.
I'm sorry, too.
I almost got mad again.
That ring is also perfectly sized for our captain's booty.
Yes.
Now, that is not a thing you should say.
That's a bad.
That just sounds.
I don't know what it's like when you come.
Yeah, that sounds real weird, children.
I don't think y'all should be talking about that.
He just asked us to, I'm just repeating what the adult said.
He said he wants to put the treasure in his booty.
Yeah, I don't think adults should say that to children.
That's weird.
Maybe you should stay here with us.
That would be amazing.
Well, Amelia, we can't.
We have a dad.
We have a dad, and I don't have enough Zyrtec.
Yeah.
All right, tell you what.
Are you ready, Queen?
I'm going to summon up their ring and you be ready children, i'll slide it off into your hand.
And that dappled beam of sunlight, ain't it beautiful wow, thank you for letting us hold it.
It's very beautiful.
We don't need it anymore.
I don't want the reminder.
But thank you.
This isn't nearly enough.
Thank you for all that you've done, not only for myself and Pollock, but also for this kingdom that is now ours.
One.
Oh, and be careful there, kid.
I don't know if you noticed, but your feet aren't touching the ground no more.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, Emil, you're flying.
Oh, my gosh, I'm flying.
Can we fly back to our cloud car?
I don't got two rings.
Don't get greedy.
Here, Arthur, grab my hand.
Yeah, I'll grab your hand. that was so fast this is the best day kelsey is not gonna believe any of this no she's not okay okay okay okay i'm gonna pull the lever okay i'm gonna press the button ready here we go um hello welcome back children i don't think we've met my name's skittle oh oh you're the oh yeah we've seen you climbing yeah um the new first bait You're the new first mate?
Where's Dobbins?
I don't know.
But I was told to take you to the barrel once you give me the rig.
Okay, but the captain... We usually like to say hi to Captain and Dobbins.
Oh, he's busy.
Huh.
Oh, okay.
This is weird.
We've never ended like this before.
Yeah, we like to make sure, you know, he's got the booty in his hand.
Oh, no.
I'll take it.
You can trust me.
I don't know if I trust him.
I don't know if I trust him either.
His name's Skittle.
Yeah, and we hate Skittles because of the yellow five.
Okay, follow me.
I'll lead you down to the barrel.
Well, there's just one thing is that we had a secret message that we have to give to the captain with this ring.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, but you better not be tricking me, because I just got this first bait position and if I find out you're tricking me, I'm going to be super bad.
Do you need a Zyrtec?
Yeah.
What?
You sound like you're a little clogged up.
Oh, yeah.
No.
Oh, okay.
My mistake, my mistake.
I don't even know what that is.
Oh, it's a magic pill.
Okay, here we are.
All right, whatever.
Just come in.
I'm almost done with this ogre chart that Amelia said I had to put together.
So you're going to fight the ogre next, Skibble.
Everyone else is in the infirmary.
Oh, no.
Is that where Dobbins is?
Yeah, in Crankhorn.
Oh, yes, though.
He did not do well against the ogre.
It was not pretty.
That's how I got my job.
Oh, but Dobbins will be back, right?
Um, well, you know, as soon as he knits.
As he knits?
I mean, you can visit him in the infirmary if you want to, but please tell me, more importantly, that you got the ring.
We got the ring, yes.
Oh, it's smaller than I thought it would be.
Yeah.
You still want it, right?
Oh, of course I do.
Okay, good.
It's priceless booty.
It's designed for a unicorn's horn.
And we met some unicorns.
They were so nice.
Oh, really?
Not what I heard.
It was just a big misunderstanding.
Big misunderstanding.
None of them tried to stomp you?
No.
Or stab you?
Well, there was a threat.
Or kick you?
Or bite you?
But we did, you know, they were reasonable.
It's all solved now, though.
Look.
Look.
It fits just on the tip of me little pinky finger.
Look at me!
I'm flying!
Oh my gosh, Captain!
Wow, look, you're hovering an inch above the ground!
Be careful!
Turns out I'm scared of this!
Help!
Oh, oh, take it off!
Take off the ring!
Take off the ring!
Toss it over here!
Drop the ring!
I don't like it!
Drop the ring!
I got it okay, all right.
Oh no, i'm all right.
I'm right, all right, i got it off.
I got it off okay okay here, put it in this box, it's gonna.
Yeah, put it in the box, put it in the archives and forget about it.
Ah okay, this is the nature of booty.
You better do something with that ring, because we did a lot to get it.
Yeah, i'll never forget about your booty.
Well, thank you.
What a brown noser.
I appreciate that.
Should I take them to the barrel?
Yeah, get them out of here.
I want them to get some rest and come back.
We'll see Dobbins next time, right?
Yeah, and Cranklin and Joe, we told them we said bye.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, Joe didn't fare too well either.
Joe was 13th mate and went up the ranks.
Fought the ogre.
The ogre is tiring out at least.
Amelia, you're usually very clever, but that ogre chart, not a good idea.
Fair enough.
Children, follow B. Keep working on this.
Fight the ogre.
Skittle, are you going to keep an eye out on Dobbins for us?
Yeah.
Why did that sound not genuine?
Okay, well, here we are, children.
Okay.
Just hop right in that barrel.
I guess we don't have a choice.
And don't come back.
72.
Oh, my gosh.
73.
Oh, my gosh.
She's only up to 73.
Does she know how to count?
That took forever.
74.
Okay, we got to hop down the stairs.
Let's skittle back down the stairs.
Okay.
77.
78.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, yeah, I guess we forgot to hide.
Are you okay, Janice?
I have been looking for you everywhere.
We thought you were counting.
I thought if I started counting again, maybe you would come out.
Okay, so you did get to 70 before.
Okay, don't worry us.
Yeah, we didn't know.
We don't.
Time is a construct.
You worried me.
Yeah.
Oh, children, let me hug you.
Smells like beef stroganoff.
Oh, my God.
Okay, thank you for the hug.
Okay, Janice, this was fun.
No, no, no, one more minute.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
