## Season 1
### Gaston the Ladybird

    Ben: Quick! Gaston's coming.
    Holly: Gaston! We've come to cheer you up.
    Ben: We don't like it when you're sad.
    Holly: We're really sorry about rolling you over.
    Ben: And riding on your back.
    Holly: What's he saying Nanny?
    Nanny Plum: Ooh. Gaston says he likes it when you roll him over and ride on his back.
    Holly: Oh.
    Ben: Oh.
    Nanny Plum: Gaston is not sad. In fact, he's very happy. Well, you're going to be even happier now. Take a look at your cave.
    [Gaston enters the room. Until, he's screaming.]
    Holly: Gaston!
    [Gaston is sobbing.]
    Nanny Plum: As I said, Ladybirds are never happy.
    Holly: Gaston, what's wrong?
    [Gaston barks, then sobs a bit.]
    Nanny Plum: Oh dear.
    Holly: Nanny, what did he say?
    Nanny Plum: He said "he loved his home just as it was, all messy and smelly".
    Holly: Oh! Sorry, Gaston.
    Ben: Don't worry. We'll make it just the way you like it.
    Holly: Yes! We're very good at making things messy.

### Holly's Magic Wand

    Holly: I'm sure I left my wand here. It's gone! [Holly is sobbing.]
    Ben: Hi, Holly.
    Holly: Hi, Ben.
    Ben: What's wrong?
    Holly: I've lost my wand. I can't do magic anymore.
    Ben: Maybe that's a good thing.
    Holly: It's not funny! I'm never going to find my wand and I'll be sad forever.
    Ben: Cheer up, Holly. I will find my wand.
    Holly: How?
    Ben: Elves are very good at finding things, and I'm an elf. [blows trumpet]
    Holly: Thanks, Ben.

### Elf Joke Day

    Wise Old Elf: (opening the door) Let's go and join in the fun!
    Nanny Plum: (screaming while breaking the toy mouse) Help!
    Wise Old Elf: (entering with Ben and Holly) Ho-ho-ho. Happy Elf Joke Day!
    Nanny Plum: That was not funny, Wise Old Elf.

### Morning, Noon, and Night

    [rooster crows]
    Nanny Plum: That's the cockerel crow, Princess Holly! Time for fairies to get up!

### Betty Caterpillar

    Holly: Look, Betty Caterpillar is sad.
    [Betty is sobbing.]
    Ben: I think she feels a bit left out. [Gaston the Ladybird and Bobby the Bee are having fun flying. Betty is crying.] I know how to cheer her up.
    Holly: Oh, good. Go on then, Ben.
    Ben: Don't be sad, Betty. Flying isn't everything. Elve's can't fly, and I'm an elf. [blows trumpet]
    [Betty is sobbing.]
    Holly: That didn't cheer her up much. [Betty is sobbing.] Maybe I can make her fly by magic.
    Ben: Can you do that?
    Holly: Um, I think so.

    King Thistle: We live in the castle, Gaston lives outside.
    [Gaston is whining.]
    Ben: Never mind, Gaston. Let's all go to the great elf tree instead.
    Mr. Elf: Mrs. Elf, that blueberry pie smells delicious.
    Mrs. Elf: Yes, Mr. Elf. The secret is to cook it very slowly over 3 days.
    Ben: Hello Mum!
    Holly: Hello!
    Mrs. Elf: Hello Ben, Hello Holly!
    Mr. Elf: Ah, Can't he shake himself outside?
    Mrs. Elf: That pie is not for you, Gaston! Now Ben, Gaston should live outside, we live inside.
    Ben: Okay, Mum.
    Mr. Elf: AAH! Where's the pie gone?
    Mrs. Elf: Gaston's eating it!
    Holly: We don't know it was Gaston.
    Ben: It could have been someone else.
    Mrs. Elf: He's the only one with pie on his face!
    Mr. Elf: Out, Gaston! I never want to see you again!
    [Gaston is whining.]
    Ben: Sorry, Gaston.
    Holly: You'd better go home.
    Mrs. Elf: Go on, Gaston! Off you go!
    Queen Thistle: Bedtime, Holly! Are you all right, darling?
    Holly: I'm a bit sad. Gaston isn't allowed in our houses anymore. [Gaston is howling.] Gaston! Oh, Gaston is all wet and cold.
    King Thistle: Gaston, go and make that rucket somewhere else!
    Holly: Poor Gaston. [rooster crowing] Gaston!
