Barbie: Mariposa/Transcript

Narrato: Let me tell you a story about a good friend of mine. Her name is Mariposa. And she's a butterfly fairy. Mariposa lived in faraway Flutterfield. A distant realm was completely cut off from all the rest of Fairytopia. Because it was surrounded by Skeezites. Ravenous beasts who wanted to eat the butterfly fairies. For centuries, whenever night fell, butterfly fairies hid for their lives. Until one day, a magical fairy named Marabella filled the trees with beautiful, glowing flowers, whose light would never go out as long as she lived. The butterfly fairies made Marabella their Queen. And every fairy in the realm was happy to forget the world outside their protective city lights. Well, almost every fairy.
WILLA: Are you kidding me?
Hey.
I thought you were coming with me to the party tonight.
I was going to, but...
"But..."
You know me.
I'm not good at parties.
I never know what to say.
You could have just hung out with me.
I get to hang out with you here.
Come sit. I wanna show you something.
Oh, I'm sorry, do I have "Skeezite snack" written on my forehead?
I came to get you away from the edge of the light.
Again!
You'll be fine.
It's light enough, I promise.
Now look up at the sky. What do you see?
My life, flashing before my eyes. Let's go.
Just wait.
WILLA: Whoa!
Beautiful, isn't it? Sometimes I look for patterns up there. Like The Archer. See?
No. I don't see it at all.
You have to connect the dots. That's his belt. There's his bow and arrow.
WILLA: Oh, yeah.
You can see things in the stars.
Sometimes, I imagine places outside Flutterfield.
Places I've only read about in books.
Okay.
I can see why you like this.
AAHH!
Oh, the light! My eyes. My eyes!
I don't see. I take it back!
Come on.
You should get to sleep.
Mariposa?
You go ahead. I'll go to bed soon. I promise. This time I won't oversleep.
WILLA: You kidding me? Mariposa.
Mariposa: Willa. I didn't.
Willa: You did. And we're gonna be late for work.
Fairy: Look out.
Willa: Hey! Flying here!
Henna: Mariposa. Willa.
MARIPOSA: Henna. Hi.
Willa: Oh hi.
Henna: Great party last night, right?
Willa: Yeah, terrific!
Henna: I didn't see you there. What happened?
Mariposa: Nothing. I just didn't think I'd have a lot of fun.
Henna: Why?
Mariposa: You wouldn't understand.
Henna: I think I would. I don't always feel like I belong either.
Mariposa: Really? You?
Henna: Mmm-hmm. But I'll get where I wanna be. You can too. Just stick with me. Hi. Oh, it is so nice to see you.
Willa: Okay. That was really nice, but no chance Henna ever feels like she doesn't belong. She's Queen Marabella's attendant.
Rayna: Mariposa!  Willa, is that you?
Willa: Ugh.. Here we go again. We're on our way.
Rayla: You are here.
Rayna: You are late!
MARIPOSA: I'm sorry. I overslept and then on the way we were talking with Henna...
Rayna: Not interested. There is a ball at the palace tonight, and we made a list of everything we need. Rayla.
Mariposa: Thistleburst?
Rayna: To braid in our hair.
Rayla: It will look so beautiful.
Willa: But thistleburst only grows deep underground in the nettle swamp. It smells there.
Rayla: And we are worth it, aren't we?
Rayna: Of course we are worth it. Go, go, go. We need you back with everything, as soon as possible. As for you, I need you to shine my wings.
Rayla: No, I need you to perfume my hair.
Rayna: And I need you to polish my slippers.
Rayla: And glitter my nails.
BOTH: And you have to do it now.
Both: Mariposa!
Rayla: I broke a nail.
RAYNA: You are on my leg.
[later]
Rayna: You missed a spot. I need these wings to sparkle, so the Prince cannot help but notice them.
Mariposa: But I thought the Prince never went out in public.
Rayna: True, so when he does, it will be to fall in love. With me.
Rayla: Or me. My turn now.
Mariposa: Why do you think you'd fall in love with the Prince?
Rayla: He is a Prince. He is special.
Rayna: Ah!
Mariposa: What happened?
Rayna: I have absolutely nothing to wear.
Mariposa: But, Rayna, your wardrobe is full of...
Rayna: Of dresses that are not befluttered. How can I know which one is the best, until you beflutter them all?
Rayla: You have to beflutter mine, too.
Mariposa: Okay, um…  Just a minute. Wait. Oh!
Rayna: Come on, Mariposa! Hurry!
Mariposa: Did you call the Flutterpixies?
Rayna: Hello? Your job.
Mariposa: Thank you.
Rayla: I love it.
Rayna: Oh yes. I will look gorgeous in this.
Maroposa: Can I ask you guys something? Do you ever feel, I don't know, like you don't belong?
Rayna: Why would we?
Henna: What do you do when it's not enough to just be you? You steal the me you want to be. (SIGHING) So long, Queen Marabella! Time for your servant to get the respect she deserves.
Rayla: I want to go in first.
Rayna: No way! I am going in first.
Maroposa: I can't believe you actually found thistleburst.
Willa: Yeah? I can't believe I didn't gag! The whole place smelled like feet!
Rayna: Willa, Mariposa. Don't go too far. We want you around if we need anything. Hey!
Willa: Hmm. Let me guess. You wanna sit this one out.
Mariposa: Do you mind if I don't go in? I'm just gonna stay around the palace.
Willa: Okay, I'll see you when it's over.
Gastrous: So I grabbed the rapscallion and thwarted his evil plan, rescuing Flutterfield from the brink of certain disaster.
Henna: Impressive. At least it would be, if it ever actually happened.
Mariposa: It didn't?
Henna: Please. Lord Gastrous may be the Queen's chief adviser, but he's never dealt with anything tougher than what to have for breakfast. Are you coming in?
Mariposa: No, thank you.
Henna: Okay, but remember, I meant what I said. Stick with me and I can get you everything you want.
Mariposa: Oh, thanks. Henna! You dropped this.
Henna: Oh, thanks.
Carlos: Uh, hi. I think this is yours.
Mariposa: Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...
Carlos: It's okay.
Mariposa: No. I'm such a klutz. I just got so lost in my book, and then… Wait a minute. Are you...
Carlos: No, no. No, I'm not.
Mariposa: You are, though. The book, it's the same one I'm reading.
Carlos: Oh, the… You're right, it is.
Mariposa: Do you like it? It's my absolute favorite.
Carlos: Really? Mine, too. I've read it nine times.
Mariposa: Ha! Ten.
Carlos: Wow! What do you like best about it?
Mariposa: Well, it's not safe to leave Flutterfield, but when I read, I get to visit the entire universe.
Carlos: Most butterfly fairies I've met aren't interested in the rest of the universe. Are you here for the party?
Mariposa: Sort of. I work for two of the fairies there. I could have gone in but… I don't know. I'm not really comfortable at parties. Is that awful?
Calros: Not at all. I feel the same way.
Mariposa: You do? I'm Mariposa.
Carlos: Oh, I'm… (HESITATING) Andreas.
Mariposa: Really? Like the hero in the book?
Carlos: Exactly. Maybe that's why I like it so much.
RAYLA: Mariposa!
Mariposa: Duty calls.
Carlos: I hope I see you again.
Mariposa: Me, too. I have to go. Bye.
Carlos: Bye.
Guardsman: You found him?
Guardsman 2: No, Sir. Nothing yet.
Mariposa: Who is it?
Carlos: Mariposa. It's me.
Mariposa: Andreas? Andreas, what's going on?
Carlos: I am so sorry. I don't mean to startle you. I'm not who you think I am. I am Prince Carlos, and I need your help.
Mariposa: What?
GUARDSMAN #1: You, search over there.
Carlos: It is the Royal Guard. They are after me.
Mariposa: Why?
Carlos: For my own protection. Orders from Lord Gastrous.
GUARDSMAN #2: Hello! I need you to open up, please.
Mariposa: Just a minute.
Carlos: Listen. The Queen is very ill. I believe it's Illios poisoning.
Mariposa: Illios? But I thought that poison didn't really exist.
Carlos: That is what everyone thinks. But Illios is the only thing strong enough to make the Queen as sick as she is. Without an antidote, we will lose her in two days.
Mariposa: That's terrible!
Carlos: For everyone. Without the Queen, the Flutterfield lights will go out.
GUARDSMAN #2: I have to insist.
Mariposa: One more moment, please.
Carlos: I am giving you a map to the Illios antidote. I have memorized it, but if the guards catch me, and I cannot get away, I need to know someone else can follow it, and help the Queen.
GUARDSMAN #2: Miss?
Mariposa: Why me?
Carlos: You are the only other fairy I know who understands the world outside Flutterfield. It has to be you.
GUARD: That's it. I'm coming in.
Mariposa: Oh, hi!
Guard: Prince Carlos was spotted in this area.
Mariposa: Prince Carlos?
Guard: No. Hmm. Thank you for your time. I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
WOMAN: Poisoned?
MAN: Well, they think it's poison. They're not sure.
WILLA: Everybody's talking about it. They say the Queen's been poisoned. But nobody knows how.
Mariposa:  Is anyone talking about Illios?
WILLA: Illios? What's that?
MARIPOSA: Poison. It's not supposed to really exist...
WILLA: Queen Marabella is sick with something real. Nobody knows if she'll even be okay.
Rayna: You're late.
WILLA: Sorry. We got a little distracted worrying about the Queen.
Rayna: Si, si. But did you ever once think what the Queen's illness means for me?
Mariposa: Of course. We weren't thinking. You and Rayla must be worried, too.
Rayna: Yes, worried that our attendants would not be here to help plan our "Get Well, Marabella" party tonight. Here's everything we need. Now hurry!
Willa: More thistleburst.
Rayna: As much as you can find. We want our whole house to sparkle.
Willa: (MOCKING) "We want the whole house to sparkle."
Rayna: Go, go.  Mariposa, come here. You have to get our house ready. We need to glitterize every inch. And then...
Rayla: Rayna, I have the biggest scoop ever.
Rayna: What? Tell me.
Rayla: Prince Carlos has been locked up in the palace for his own protection. He's in danger.
Rayna: That's so romantic. Isn't it?
Rayla: Hey! You have work to do.
Mariposa; (SIGHS) Yes. I think I do have work to do. The Prince gave me this map.
Both: The Prince!
Rayna: Okay, you need to spill, spill!
Mariposa: He needs me to find the antidote that will save the Queen.
Rayla: I want to see it.
Rayna: No way. So it's true.
Mariposa: Of course it's true.
Rayna: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Rayla: We are going to get the antidote.
Mariposa: What?
Rayna: You do not think someone like you can be trusted to rescue the Queen, do you?
Mariposa: Someone like me?
Rayna: You will come with us, of course. To carry snacks and things. Flutter corn, fairycakes. I will make you a list.
Rayla: But we will be the ones to save Flutterfield, win the Queen's undying gratitude, and the greatest reward imaginable.
Both: The Prince..
Mariposa: I don't think you understand what you're saying. The map leads out of Flutterfield, into Skeezite territory.
Rayna: We will just make it back before dark. Easy.
Mariposa: But...
Rayna: No buts. Now pack our bags and let's go!
Mariposa: Okay.
Narrator: So the three fairies set out to follow the Prince's map. They were a little nervous when they neared Flutterfield's edge, but it was still daylight, so it was easy to be brave.
Mariposa: This is it. The last light of Flutterfield. According to the map we need to go to the center of the Bewilderness, where we'll find a white flower, which must be the antidote.
We start off towards the Cecitane mountains. Beyond the lake, that way.
Rayla: I've never been outside the city. Have you?
Rayna: For the greatest reward imaginable.
Rayla: For my soon to be husband, Prince Carlos.
Mariposa: For hope. For all of us.
Willa: Okay.  This time, it smelled worse than feet. It's not like the toe jammiest, humongous "fungus among us" of a whole bag of feet! Hello? Thanks. "Went to save the Queen. Try to contact Prince Carlos, he will tell you everything."
Carlos: Guard!
Gastrous: You called, Your Highness?
Carlos: Lord Gastrous, I command you to release me!
Gastrous: I'm sorry but I can't do that. Nor can you command it. As the Queen's chief adviser, her power goes to me when she can't rule, not to you.
Carlos: Which is exactly what you want, is it not? That is why you won't let me go after the Illios antidote. I swear, Gastrous, if you are behind what happened to my mother...
Gastrous: No, no, Your Highness, I promise you, I only want her to be well. But if the worst happens, Flutterfield needs you to be here, safe and ready to rule. Not off risking your life, chasing a cure for a poison that doesn't exist. I'm sorry, but I have no other choice.
Carlos: Lord Gastrous! Mariposa, I hope you're in better shape than I am.
Rayna:  How can we not be there yet?
Rayla: Maybe if I had held the map, we'd be there.
Rayna: You just wanted to hold it so you could tell the Prince you were in charge.
Rayla: So did you.
Mariposa: Hey. We'll never get anywhere if we fight.
Rayna: We will never get anywhere no matter what. It is almost dark. Do you not realize what that means?
ALL: Skeezites!
Mariposa: Hide!
Rayla: Maybe we should stay here.
Rayna: All night?
Mariposa: If there's not enough cover. They'd get us. Here, carry these. They rely on smell. If they smell the flowers and not us, they won't know we're here.
Skeezite: I smell pretty flowers.
Rayna: What are you? Part Skeezite? How did you know to carry the flowers?
Mariposa: I like to read.
Rayna: Okay, it looks like soon we will come to a fork in the path.
Mariposa: The map!
SKEEZITE: Butterfly fairy.
BOTH: Rayna!
Skeezite: Butterfly fairies.
Mariposa: Fly!
Rayla: Now what? Where do we go?
Rayna: I do not know. All the landmarks were on the map.
Mariposa: Wait. Along our route was a picture of a sun. A rising sun.
Skeezite: We're gonna get you this time.
Rayna: But it's dark.
Mariposa: No, the sun rises in the east. If the rising sun is in our path, we need to fly due east.
Great, now we just need to find where due east is.
Rayna: Which we can only do with a map!
SKEEZITE: Here we come!
Skeezite: Hey! Where did they go?
Mariposa: No, not with the map. With the Archer. The Archer in the stars. It's a pattern, a constellation. His arrow always points due east. This way.
Skeezite: Come on little fairies. Don't fly away. We only wanna eat you. I mean, "meet you."
Skeezite: You mean, "eat you."
Skeezite: Oh yeah.
Rayla: I think we are losing them. You are right.
Skeezite: Down! Whee!!
Mariposa: What's that?
RAYNA: I do not know, can we get inside?
Mariposa: We have to try.
Skeezite: Here we come!
RAYLA: We cannot make it.
Mariposa: Fly, hurry!
Skeezite: I don't know how I'm gonna explain this to the little lady.
Mariposa: Let's get outta here.
[Meanwhile, Willa is searching for Carlos.]
Willa: "Try to contact Prince Carlos," she said. I don't even know what he looks like. How can I contact him?
HENNA: I brought her favorite brushes and ribbons. She always loves it when I do her hair. I thought maybe it would help.
Gastrous: (SIGHS) You're a good friend, Henna.
HENNA: Has there been any change?
Gastrous: The doctors have found nothing. The Prince, he keeps talking about Illios. You don't suppose there's the slightest chance in...
Henna: Gastrous! I wish as much as anyone that we could help the Queen. But everyone knows Illios doesn't exist. Prince Carlos is clutching at fairytales.
Gastrous: Probably, but...
Henna: But, you're in charge. If you think it's wise to put fairies at risk, searching the world for an Illios antidote, you have my complete support.
Gastrous: No, no. It's ridiculous, of course.
Henna: Perhaps you should check in on the prince.
Gastrous: Oh, I will. Minute you know something,  let me know. The second.
Henna: Of course. Not long now, Queen Marabella. And I will rule all of Flutterfield.
Willa: Prince Carlos, I am Willa. Mariposa sent me. (SIGHS) You prince, me Will… (MUFFLED) Mariposa! Mariposa!
Carlos: (GASPS) Mariposa!
GASTROUS: Prince Carlos! Is everything okay in here? I thought I heard something.
Carlos: No. No, no, no, no. Everything's fine. Except, I was hoping for a little fresh air. Could you open the doors?
Gastrous: But, Prince Carlos, we must keep the door shut for your own protection.
Carlos: Just while you are here. You will be able to protect me.
Gastrous: Of course! We are doing everything we can to comfort the Queen.
Carlos: But if you only let me out using the key.
Gastrous: Oh, we cannot take the risk, Prince Carlos.
Carlos: I understand. But the key on your belt can free me to comfort the Queen.
Gastrous: It is more important that we keep you safe.
Carlos: I understand.
Gastrous: You do?
Carlos: And I appreciate you looking out for my safety.
Gastrous: Well, it is my duty. And one that I take very seriously.
Carlos: Of course. Has there been any change?
Gastrous: Not yet. But I am hopeful.
Carlos: It is your hope that sustains us, Lord Gastrous.
Gastrous: Thank you, Prince Carlos.
Carlos: Will you let me know if there are any changes?
Gastrous: Of course, Prince Carlos. The second.
Willa: So you're the prince.
Carlos: Please. My name is Carlos.
Willa: Hello, Carlos.
Carlos: And you're a friend of Mariposa?
Willa: I'm Willa.
Carlos: Thank you, Willa.
Willa: You're welcome.
Carlos: At last. I must find the antidote.
Willa: Oh, first we have to find out what Henna is up to.
Carlos: Henna?
Willa: She's the one who poisoned the Queen.
Carlos: What?
Willa: I saw her giving the Queen a tonic. She said she wants to take over Flutterfield.  Come on!
Mariposa: What is this place?
Rayla: Hey!
Rayna: What?
Rayla: What was that for?
Rayna: I did not do anything. Hey! I said I did not do anything.
Rayla: I know. I heard you.
Rayna: So why did you hit me?
Rayla: I did not!
Mariposa: You guys, let's not fight. We need to find the antidote. Hey!
Both: What?
HI. I'm Zinzie. Zinzie, the Mewah.
Rayna: You are the one throwing seeds at us, are you not?
Rayla: Why would you do that?
It's funny. You should've seen your faces.
Mariposa: That's not very nice.
Zinzie: It's not? Well, I wasn't trying to be not nice. I just wanted to play.  I don't see anyone in the Bewilderness a lot. And it gets really Ionely.
Mariposa: Wait! Did you say, "The Bewilderness"?
Zinzie: Sure, that's where we are.  The Bewilderness.
MARIPOSA: Yes!
Rayna: The Archer. You are a genius.
Rayla: What are you doing?
Zinzie: Celebrating.
Rayna: Look. We need you to take us to the center of the Bewilderness.
Zinzie: But, that's such a long way. It's so dangerous. Only a Mewah brave and courageous enough could take you there.
Mariposa: Zinzie, you like flutter corn, right?
Zinzie: Flutter corn! That heavenly crunch. That delectable aroma.
Mariposa: A whole bag of it. And it's all for you, if you take us to the center of the Bewilderness.
Zinzie: Yes. Give me. Give me, give me, give me. Oh, give me.
Mariposa: Here you go.
Zinzie: Flutter corn! Oh, this is so good. Want some? Kidding! It's all mine. Every little crunchy, sweet, deliciously delectable… Here we are.
Rayla: This is the center of the Bewilderness?
ZINZIE: Ha ha!
Mariposa: I don't understand. There's supposed to be a white flower here.
Rayla: There is. Right here.
Rayna: That is the flower from the map.
Rayla: Maybe the antidote is not a real flower. Maybe it is this rock!
Mariposa: I don't think so. I think this is another map. I think we have to find this mermaid, and she can tell us where the flower is.
Rayla: But where do we find mermaids?
Zinzie: I know. They live in the Water Rose. I can take you there if you want.
Rayna: And what do you want in return?
Zinzie: Flutter corn. Please.
Mariposa: Done.
Zinzie: Oh, flutter corn.
Carlos: Are you sure it was Henna who poisoned the Queen?
Willa: Yes!
Carlos: But we have been following her for hours and she has done nothing out of the ordinary.
Willa:  I'm positive it was her.
Carlos: Wait, wait. Where is she going now?
Willa: See? What'd I tell you?
Carlos: Come on.
[They follow Henna.]
Carlos: What is she doing down here?
Willa: I don't know. But I don't like it.
Carlos: We must find out.
Willa: (NERVOUSLY) We must?
Skeezite: You promised us butterfly fairy.
Willa: What are they doing here?
Skeezite: Yeah, we want butterfly fairy.
Henna: Be patient, my little ones. Tonight, you will have all the butterfly fairies you can eat.
Skeezite: But I'm hungry now.
Skeezite: Me, too. Hungry now.
BOTH: We want butterfly fairy.
Skeezite: The light. Oh, oh, no. Not the light.
Skeezite: Can't stand the light.
Henna: You were saying?
Skeezite: Nothing. Saying nothing.
Skeezite: Yeah. Not hungry. Me not hungry.
Willa: What kind of light was that?
Carlos: I don't know. But we must find out.
Willa: Shouldn't we get Gastrous first?
Carlos: No, he will not believe me. I need real evidence. We must wait for her to leave.
Willa: Oh, goody.
ZINZIE: The Water Rose. All the way down. That's where the mermaids live.
Mariposa: But how can we get there? We can't breathe underwater.
Zinzie: Actually, you can.
Mariposa: It's delicious.
Rayla: It is like flutter fluff.
Rayna: And this will let us breathe underwater?
Zinzie: You betcha. Eat up.
Narrator: So, they ate the reeds and dove into the Water Rose, swimming deeper and deeper until they came to an underwater realm.
Rayna: Okay, we are here. Where do we find the mermaids?
Anemone: Actually, looks like we found you.
MARIPOSA: Wonderful. We really need to find the Illios antidote. Do you know where it is?
Anemone: Yes.
Mariposa: Will you tell us where to find the Illios antidote?
Coral: Anemone, did you see my new necklace? It is exactly the color of my eyes. Like, when my eyes are this color, beautiful.
Mariposa: I'm sorry, but perhaps you don't understand. The fate of our entire city and everyone we know rests on us finding this antidote.
CORAL: Oh! Did you, like, bring us something beautiful?
MARIPOSA: No. I...
Rayna: Hermana, I think I see where they are coming from.
Rayla: Why should they help us, unless something is in it for them?
Coral: Exactly!
Rayna: So name it. Tell us what you want and we will make it happen.
BOTH: Conchal shells.
Zinzie: Conchal shells? You can't take a shell without waking the Mini-Merfolk. And if you wake them, they'd scream and wake the sea beast. And guess what the sea beast hates more than anything? Getting woken up.
Anemone: We'll be waiting.
Mariposa: So how do we do this without waking them up?
Rayna: I have an idea. They're about the right size, no? Zinzie.
ALL: Yes!
Zinzie: Uh-oh.
Rayla: Don't cry. Don't cry.
[All the Mini-Merfolks are screaming and crying]
ALL: The sea beast!
Coral: Does the shell look better with my part or across from my part?
Mariposa: Coral!
Anemone: I think I like it better with the part.
Mariposa: Anemone! Help us!
Rayna: For the conchal shells. Do it for the conchal shells.
Anemone: They are beautiful shells. Okay, let's help.
Rayna: We are safe. We did it!
Coral: Feel my hair. I brushed golden star into it. Like, you've never felt anything so soft.
Rayna: Wait! What about the Illios antidote? You said you would tell us where it is.
Coral: In the Cave Of Reflection.
Anemone: Head east, and then enter the monster's mouth!
Rayla: A monster? For once, can't we go someplace without a monster?
Zinzie: What do we do now?
Mariposa: I think we have to trust the mermaids. Let's follow their directions and see what we find. I'm glad you guys were here. You handled the mermaids a lot better than I did.
Rayna: It was easy. They reminded us of fairies we used to know.
Willa: What is she doing in there?
Carlos: I do not know. But we are running out of time. We cannot wait any longer.
Willa: What? We can't go in there now.
Carlos: We have no choice.
Willa: Are you kidding me?
Henna: Oh, everyone knows Illios doesn't exist. Who would have thought that a little Illios and a little thistleburst would give me so much power. Oh. Yeah. A genius like me. What a beautiful day to become Queen.
Carlos: Not if we can help it. Come on!
Willa: Hello?  The Skeezites?
CARLOS: They are asleep.
Willa: Oh. That's fine, then. What are you doing?
Carlos: Evidence to show Gastrous. He will have to believe me now. What are you doing?
Willa: We can use the light against the Skeezites.
Skeezite: (MUMBLING) Butterfly fairy?
CARLOS: We will need more thistleburst than that.
Willa: Of course, we will.
Carlos: I will find Gastrous.
Willa: And I will go back to the swamp.
Rayna: We have been traveling for hours.
Zinzie: Maybe that's okay. I mean, we've really had enough monsters for one day. And this one could be even meaner with long sharp teeth and beady eyes, and an evil sneer. Like that guy.
RAYNA: The monster.
MARIPOSA: And its mouth is the opening of a cave. That's where we have to go.
ZINZIE: Oh, so it's a rock that looks like a monster. That's much better. For a minute there, I thought we were gonna have to do something really danger… AAAAHHH!!! No. No, no, no, no, no. No. No!
Mariposa: Yes. We can do this. We've come this far.
MARIPOSA: The light. It must be that way. Come on.
Skeezite: Hey, I smell butterfly fairies, do you?
Skeezite: I got no sniff. My nose is still messed up from yesterday.
Skeezite: Wait a minute. Hey, who did that? You! You hit me!
Skeezite: What? I did not. But you hit me.
Skeezite: Did not.
Skeezite: Are you calling me a liar?
Skeezite: Are you calling me one?
SKEEZITE #1: Maybe.
SKEEZITE #2: Well...
SKEEZITE #1: But you hit me.
SKEEZITE #2: I did not.
Skeezite: Who did that?
BOTH: Hey!
Zinzie: Uh-oh.
Skeezite: We are gonna eat you.
Skeezite: That smarts.
Mariposa: Thanks, Zinzie.
Rayna: Looks like we owe you.
Zinzie: Well, I'll accept payment in flutter corn.
Mariposa: The Cave Of Reflection.
Mariposa: Hey.
Zinzie: What is this? (GIGGLES) It tickles.
Rayna: Just whack it between your hands.
Watch where you place those mitts. You could hurt someone.
Mariposa: You're a fairy.
The fairy. As far as anyone trying to enter my cave is concerned. Would that be you?
Mariposa: It would.
Head count. One, two, three, four. No, too many. One of you stops here.
Zinzie: I'll stop. The rest of you, go on.
As you wish. Come.
Mariposa: Maybe we should explain. We're looking for the antidote to the Illios...
Cave Fairy: Ah-ah-ah! Don't speak. Come.
Rayla: Do you think it is smart to follow her?
Mariposa: This is where the mermaid said we had to go, right?
Reflection: Yes. It's exactly where they said you had to go.
Rayna: Hold up. Did you just answer yourself?
Mariposa: No, my reflection did.
Reflection 2: Come on, it is not that weird, is it?
Reflection 3: You really think you can avoid me that way?
Cave Fairy: Now, two of you can continue.
Rayla: If I stop, will she go away?
Reflection 2: Only one way to find out, right?
Rayla: (GASPS) I will stay.
Rayna: Rayla? What did you do to my sister?
Cave Fairy: So impatient, this one. You'll see your dear sister again if you succeed.
Rayna: If we succeed? What is that supposed to mean?
Reflection 3: It means this is important, too important to leave to a nothing like Mariposa.
Rayna: Stop. I never said that.
Mariposa: Just ignore it.
It's some kind of test.
Reflection: Was that advice from a fairy too unsure of herself to even go to a party?
Cave Fairy: The final choice. Only one can continue.
Reflection 3: Go. Think about the glory. Think about the rewards. Think about the Prince, huh? You've waited for this. You really want Mariposa to get it all instead?
Reflection: She's right. Rayna should go. She's somebody. Fairies listen to her. Stay behind. You'll only fail if you try.
Mariposa: Rayna...
Rayna: No. Do not say a word. You are the one who can do this. I am sure of it. I want to stay back.
Cave Fairy: So, your friends have chosen you. But did they choose correctly? And will you choose correctly?
Cave Fairy: These stars hide many things. One hides the antidote you seek. You have a single chance to choose.
Mariposa: But, how? How can I choose just one star? There are so many.
Cave Fairy: Though now you may not comprehend, every riddle has an end. Search your mind for what you know, and the answer soon will show.
Mariposa: Wait. Patterns. The stars always make patterns. There's the Unicorn. And there's the Crown. The Archer. There he is.
Reflection: So, it's the Archer. What does that mean?
Mariposa: The Archer is a navigator.
You can guide yourself by the way his arrow points. Like the way we got to the Bewilderness.
Reflection: Okay. So what does his arrow point to now?  It points to nothing. Try again.
Mariposa: Hmm. Maybe you're right. But that star is where the archer's pointing.
Reflection: Which means the archer isn't what you're looking for. That's a little star all by itself that doesn't fit in with anything else in the sky. It's meaningless.
Mariposa: No. It doesn't fit in. But that doesn't make it meaningless at all.
Reflection: Of course it does.
Mariposa: No, every star is there for a reason. They don't have to fit in with the other stars to be important. They just have to be themselves. And that star is the one I need.
Mariposa: The antidote.
Cave Fairy: It was the one star off by itself that made all the difference. You feel this in your heart. But it's time you saw it in yourself.
Cave Fairy: You and your friends will be carried back to Flutterfield.
Mariposa: Thank you.
ZINZIE: Whoa. Look at your wings.
Rayna: Mariposa, they are beautiful.
Cave Fairy: It is time to go. Good luck.
Guard: Lord Gastrous, the remaining fairies are now hiding deep within the root neighborhood.
Gastrous: Oh, thank you. Please tell them there is no need to panic. Even now doctors are attending to Queen Marabella. Oh, we are doomed, Henna.
Henna: I'm afraid you may be right, Lord Gastrous. It looks like we are about to run out of time.
Gastrous: You must join the others and hide in the root neighborhood.
Henna: Oh, no.  I will be loyal to the Queen until the end.
Gastrous: You truly are a good friend, Henna.
Guard: Lord Gastrous, it's the prince.
Gastrous: Prince Carlos, where have you been? We have been looking for you everywhere.
Carlos: There is no time for my explanation. Perhaps it is Henna who should explain.
Henna: Excuse me?
Carlos: She is behind this.
Gastrous: What?
Carlos: You poisoned the Queen.
Gastrous: Oh, this is ridiculous. Henna has done nothing to hurt the Queen.
Carlos: Then perhaps she would like to explain this.
Henna: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Carlos: We followed you to your lair. We saw you with the Skeezites. We found the Illios.
Gastrous: You mean…?
Henna: Yes, Gastrous, this is all because of me.
Gastrous: Guards!  How could you, Henna? Flutterfield will be destroyed. We will all be eaten by the Skeezites.
Henna: Oh, will we? Time for your feast, my little friends.
Skeezites: Butterfly very yum. Yum! Give me, give me, give me, give me!
Gastrous: No!
Skeezite: The light. It hurts. Away!
Henna: Fear not, my little Skeezites. One little light cannot hold us all back.
Willa: How about a hundred?
Carlos: Willa!
Willa: Hold your ground!
Gastrous: Guards, help them!
Guard: Now!
Skeezite: I don't feel so good.
Skeezite: You don't look so good. Hey, stop it!
Willa: How long can we hold them?
Henna: Admirable effort. But you can't hold us off forever. So, when the Queen succumbs to my poison...
MARIPOSA: Your poison?
Carlos: Mariposa!
Mariposa: You did this. How could you?
Henna: Oh, come on, Mariposa, you… Get her!
Carlos: Fire!
Rayna: Go! We'll cover you.
Henna: You didn't think I'd let you spoil my plans, did you?
Mariposa: Henna! No!
Henna: In less than one minute, the last of the Queen's life force will fade away.
Mariposa: What are you doing this for?
Henna: Why serve a Queen when you can be one? Why are you fighting this, Mariposa? You've never felt like you belonged in Marabella's kingdom. But you will in mine. Join me. Everyone will have to love you.
Mariposa: Really?
Genna: You'll be adored by every single fairy in Flutterfield.
Mariposa: Adored?
Henna: Yes, Mariposa. Finally you will fit in… What?
Mariposa: I don't need that anymore.
Henna: No!
Henna: Too little, too late, Mariposa! Flutterfield is mine!
The light! The light! My eyes! Oh, my God!
Mariposa: Queen Marabella?
Marabella: Henna… The last thing I remember… You… You!
Henna: Your Majesty, I can explain. You know, the funniest thing happened.
Skeezite: No, not the light!
Henna: Skeezites! This isn't over, Flutterfield! I will be back! Away! Away!
Retreat!
SKEEZITE: Got to get away. Got to get away.
Marabella: I have a feeling there's a lot I need to know. Can you help me?
Mariposa: Actually, I...
CARLOS: I can explain. It's a long story. But it all starts with the bravery of Mariposa.
Marabella:  In thanks for your great bravery, I present you with these gifts.
Mariposa: Thank you.
Narrator: And from that day forward, Mariposa always felt she belonged in Flutterfield. Having learned the best thing you can be is yourself. The end.
