Lana Consults Witch Hazel/Arrival in the New World

*(Later by the river's shore, Lana, Hops, Dinky, and Boomer are sitting around, talking as they admire Lana's necklace)*

Dinky: So, basically, your parents want you to be steady like the river?

Lana: That's what they said.

*(After looking at the water in the river for a bit, they jumped back in surprise when two river otters popped up at the surface playfully, startling Dinky and Boomer, even though Lana and Hops giggled a bit)*

Lana: (Flatly) Apparently not steady at all.

Boomer: (Flatly agreeing) More like ripply.

Dinky: Hey, Lana, why not consult Witch Hazel about your dream?

*(Thinking it over upon hearing Dinky's idea, Lana and Hops happily agreed)*

Lana: Maybe she might know about it.

Boomer: Witch Hazel may have cryptic answers, but she is very wise.

*(Then as the otters swam ahead in the river, Lana, Hops, Dinky, and Boomer boarded Lana's canoe while Dinky and Boomer flew beside them, and Lana began paddling away from the village down the river to go see this Witch Hazel, with Boomer tapping on each three turtles' shells, getting their attention. During this, Lana started singing)*

Lana: **What I love most about rivers is**

**You can’t step in the same river twice**

**The water’s always changing, always flowing**

**But people, I guess, can’t live like that**

**We all must pay a price**

**To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing**

**What’s around the riverbend**

**Waiting just around the riverbend**

**I look once more**

**Just about the riverbend**

**Beyond the shore**

**Where the gulls fly free**

**Don’t know what for**

**What I dream the day might send**

**Just around the riverbend**

**For me**

**Coming for me**

*(They then passed some wildlife hanging around by the river and even a waterfall)*

Lana: **I feel it there beyond those trees**

**Or right behind these waterfalls**

*(Then some fish fell from the waterfall onto Hops, much to his annoyance)*

Lana: **Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming**

**For a handsome, sturdy husband**

**Who builds handsome, sturdy walls?**

*(They see a beaver build its dam nearby)*

Lana: **And never dreams that something might be coming**

**Just around the riverbend**

*(They approach a small waterfall, much to Hops' concern)*

Lana: **Just around the riverbend**

*(Then they drop down the waterfall perfectly without tipping over and/or sinking in the water, much to Hops' relief-turned happiness. Then he, along with Lana, Dinky, and Boomer, are having a blast down some more smaller waterfalls until they reached a calmer part of the river with a rainbow shining down over it from the water's mist combined with the sunlight)*

Lana: **I look once more**

**Just around the riverbend**

**Beyond the shore**

**Somewhere past the sea**

**Don’t know what for**

**Why do all my dreams extend**

**Just around the riverbend?**

**Just around the riverbend**

*(Then they come upon a forked path in the form of two river paths, the left side leading to the sea, and the right side leading to this Hazel's location. Lana then looked down at the river's water at her reflection (Envisioning her as a young woman), and began pondering as she envisioned Terrence (As a young man), in calm politeness, holding his hand out to her, as if wanting to take her hand and kiss it)*

Lana: **Should I choose the smoothest course**

**Steady as the beating drum?**

**Should I marry Terrence?**

**Is all my dreaming at an end?**

*(But in her imagination in the reflection, Lana politely declined Terrence's hand kiss offer, and then Terrence's image vanished. Then she looked at the forked river path)*

Lana: **Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver**

**Just around the riverbend?**

*(After her song ended, she then calmly paddled to the right side river path towards this Hazel's place. Once at a glen with a pond at the end of the river, Lana and Hops climbed out her canoe, or in Dinky and Boomer's case, flew beside them. Then they approached a giant weeping willow tree and sat at a stump-like seat as a female voice spoke and some animals arrived and gathered around)*

Female voice: (Voice-over) Is that my dear Lana?

Lana: Witch Hazel, I need to talk to you.

*(Then the tree glowed and emerging from the light as it died down is a female figure. The figure is a female esper-like tree spirit in the form of an old woman with pale green skin, shoulder-length forest green hair, and wearing a tall, forest green, pointed hat, a green long-sleeved dress, and forest green boots, and sometimes carried a broomstick. She is Witch Hazel, Lana's friend who is a wise tree spirit)*

Hazel: Good morning, child. I was hoping you’d visit today.

*(Suddenly, she gasped in happiness and amazement upon noticing Lana wearing her necklace)*

Hazel: Why, you're wearing your grandmother’s necklace!

Lana: (Nods) That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. My parents want me to marry Terrence Foster.

Hazel: (Aghast) Marry Terrence Foster? *(Frowns)* But he's so serious.

Dinky: We know.

Boomer: And this is where you come in.

Lana: That's right. My parents think it’s the right path for me. But lately I’ve been having this dream and I think it’s....

Hazel: (Interested) Oh, a dream?! Let's hear all about it!

*(Then all of the animals started chittering in excitement)*

Hazel: (Trying to quiet the animals) Okay, we're excited! Okay, let's be quiet please.

*(But the animals continued chittering away)*

Hazel: Quiet.

*(But they still chittered away)*

Hazel: QUIET!!

*(From that shout, the animals quieted down. Then a frog, unlike Hops, sitting on a lilypad croaked out loud, only for Hazel to glare at it in annoyance, making the frog comply as well that it leaped into the water off the lilypad. Then Hazel resumed her conversation with Lana)*

Hazel: Now, child. You were saying...?

Lana: Well, I’m running through the woods and then right there in front of me is an arrow. As I look at it, it started to spin.

Hazel: (Interested) A spinning arrow? *(Ponders in curiosity and interest)* How unusual.

Lana: Yes. And it spinned faster and faster and faster until suddenly it stopped.

*(Around Lana's line above, Hops and a nearby rabbit spun their heads at Lana's spinning finger gesture and after she finished saying her line, Hops and the rabbit got dizzy from the brief spinning. After Hops and the rabbit snapped out of their dizziness, Hazel pondered and then began to explain in a wise cryptic way)*

Hazel: Hmm. Well, seems to me this spinning arrow is pointing you down to your destined path.

Lana: But Hazel, what is my destined path? How am I ever going to find it?

Hazel: (Chuckles a bit) Your grandmother asked me the very same question.

Lana: She did? What did you tell her?

*(Hazel then explained)*

Hazel: I told her to listen. All around you are spirits, child. They live in the earth, the water, the sky. If you listen, they will guide you.

*(Then a female spiritual voice, the Wind Spirit, started vocalizing a bit with the wind, much to everyone's notice as Lana stood up with Hops, Dinky, and Boomer in curiosity)*

Lana: I hear the wind.

Hazel: (Nods) Yes. What is it telling you?

*(Lana listened, but couldn't understand)*

Lana: I don't understand it.

*(Then Hazel starts singing in calm encouragement as the colored leaves-filled wind blew around Lana calmly, as if talking to her)*

Hazel: ***Que* *que* *na-to-ra***

**You will understand**

**Listen with your heart**

**You will understand**

**Let it break upon you**

**Like a wave upon the sand**

*(Listening carefully during the song, Lana suddenly realized what the wind is telling her)*

Lana: It's saying that something's coming.

*(Then she got confused)*

Lana: "Strange clouds?"

*(Then she, Dinky, Boomer, Hops, and some animals climbed up the tree, or flew in Dinky and Boomer's case, as Hazel, concluding her song, and the rest of the wild animals remained below)*

Hazel: **Listen with your heart**

**You will understand**

Wind Spirit: (Voice-over) **You will understand**

*(As the song ended, Lana, Dinky, Boomer, Hops, and the animals arrived at the tree's canopy and looked out at the faraway view to see what the wind is telling Lana what it saw. Sure enough, Hops, Dinky, Boomer, and the animals gasped in surprise at what they just saw with Lana and quickly darted back down to Hazel and the wild animals in a panic, much to Hazel's confusion)*

Hazel: (Calling out to Lana, who is looking) What do you see?

*(Lana got interested as she saw what Hops, Dinky, Boomer, and the animals saw; Two giant strange-looking white clouds)*

Lana: Clouds. Strange clouds....

*(At the seaside shores of the forest, the Susan Constant, the clouds revealed to be its sails, slowly stopped. In his cabin, Hook, with his coat and hat off, opened his window and looked out at the forested view with a calm evil smirk)*

Hook: Look at it, Smee, guys. An entire New World chock full of gold, just waiting for me.

*(Smee is helping Rockruff smooth out his fur while the Mane Seven are fixing their mane)*

Smee: (To Hook) And scores of adventures waiting for us. *(To Rockruff and the Mane Seven)* Right, Rockruff, Mane Seven?

*(Rockruff barks in agreement)*

Smee: Do you think we’ll meet some savages?

Twilight Sparkle: I highly doubt there might be any possible savage here.

Hook: (Ignoring Twilight Sparkle, answering Smee's question) If we do, we should be sure to give them a proper English greeting.

*(Pinkie Pie then happily pulled some gift baskets out)*

Pinkie Pie: Oh, I know! Maybe we'll give them some gift baskets!

Mane Seven: (Happily agreeing) That can appease them!

Smee: (Happily agreeing) That always works!

*(Hook rolled his eyes in annoyance)*

Hook: (Muttering) And they came so highly recommended.

*(Then Fievel came in)*

Fievel: It’s perfect, Governor. The water’s deep enough, we can pull right up to shore.

*(Then he happily greeted Rockruff and the Mane Seven by noogieing their heads playfully, much to Rockruff's surprise and the Mane Seven's delight, for these seven are, apparently, good friends with Fievel and, just like the crew, get along with him well. Rockruff, on the other hand, despite being inquisitive and shy away from being greedy like Hook at times, dagger glared at him after the noogieing finished, for he hates it when Fievel noogies him)*

Rarity: (Giggles a bit) Fievel, easy on our hair.

Mane Seven: (Agreeing happily) Yeah.

*(Rockruff growled softly a bit in annoyance)*

Fievel: (To the Mane Seven) Sorry about that.

*(Hook then seated at his desk as he and Fievel resumed their conversation)*

Hook: Very well, then. Give the order.

Fievel: Already done, Sir. I’ve got a crew assembled and they’re ready to go.

Hook: About the natives, I’m counting on you to make sure those filthy heathens don’t disrupt our mission.

Fievel: (Shrugs) Well, if they’re anything like the savages I’ve fought before, it’s nothing I can’t handle.

Hook: Right. That’ll be all, Mousekwitz, there’s a good man.

Mane Seven: (Happily) Wish you luck, Fievel.

Fievel: (To the Mane Seven) Will do, girls. *(To Rockruff, noogieing him a bit again, making the Mane Seven giggle a bit at this)* See ya, Rockruff.

*(Rockruff, annoyed that he was noogieed again, glared in annoyance at Fievel. Then Fievel left the cabin as Hook sipped some of his wine. Then Hook turned to Smee, Rockruff, and the Mane Seven)*

Hook: The men like Mousekwitz, don’t they?

Twilight Sparkle: Of course they do, Hook.

Pinkie Pie: He is very nice.

Applejack: Brave against enemies.

Fluttershy: And caring for us.

Rarity: Incredibly handsome to the girls.

Sunset Shimmer: Dashing even.

Rainbow Dash: And he's never afraid to explore the world and its inhabitants, whether they're nice and/or dangerous.

*(Rockruff then fixed his fur on top of his head from where Fievel noogieed him. Hook then stood up and went up to a mirror)*

Hook: I’ve never been a popular man.

Smee: (Approaching Hook to help him get ready) I like you.

Hook: And don’t think I don’t know what those backstabbers at court say about me.

Smee: (Putting Hook's coat on him) Oh yes.

Sunset Shimmer: All that talk about you being a pathetic social climber who’s failed at everything he’s....

*(Annoyed that Sunset Shimmer is somewhat mocking him with that line, Hook cut her off)*

Hook: (To Sunset Shimmer in a calm savage tone) I’m very well aware that this is my last chance for glory.

*(Then he got determined with an evil smirk as he let Smee put his hat on as well)*

Hook: But mark my words, guys; When King Basil sees the gold these peasants unearth, success will be mine at last.

*(The Mane Seven agreed flatly while secretly rolling their eyes in annoyance)*

Mane Seven: (Flatly) Indeed.

*(Out on the Susan Constant's deck, a rowboat was lowered onto the seawater as Dingodile, Tiny, and Ash looked out at the forested shores of the New World in amazement)*

Leatherhead: (Calling out to the crew) Wake up, by gumbo! Shake those legs!

Dingodile: It's incredible.

Tiny: And it all ours.

Ash: I’ve never seen anything like it.

*(Leatherhead then arrived with a rope ladder, dropping it down on the side of the ship to the rowboat below him, Dingodile, Tiny, and Ash)*

Leatherhead: It can look like Hook’s knickers, ya betcha, just as long as we get off this stinking boat, I guarantee.

*(Then Fievel joined them in climbing down to the rowboat)*

Fievel: Come on, men! We didn’t come all this way just to look at it.

*(Then they boarded the rowboat and paddled slowly and cautiously towards the shore. Above a high cliffside, Olivia, Chatot, and Eevee's group arrived secretly and hid themselves up above to see what's up. As they watched silently while hidden above the cliffside, Olivia, Chatot, and Eevee's group got curious about the new strangers they're seeing in a bigger strange-looking canoe. Down below, Fievel, Ash, and the mutants disembarked off the rowboat once at the shore and while Fievel looked around in interest and amazement and even began to climb up towards the cliffside, making Olivia, Chatot, and Eevee's group hide themselves in a nearby bush, Ash and the mutants, unaware of Fievel wandering off, then helped some of the crew pull the Susan Constant towards the shore to anchor it with a long lifeline rope)*

Leatherhead: Jambalaya, keep it tight, guys, keep it tight!

Tiny: Steady, steady! Ah, that far enough!

Dingodile: (Hands the end of the lifeline rope to Ash) All right now, mates, tie her off.

*(Ash then turned to where Fievel once stood, throwing the end of the lifeline rope to the spot)*

Ash: Here, Fievel, tie up this end.

*(Then he and the crew noticed Fievel is missing and began looking around)*

Ash: Fievel? Fievel?

*(Then he and the crew spotted Fievel looking around on top of the cliffside)*

Ash: (Calling up to Fievel) What are you doing up there?!

Fievel: (Calling down to Ash and the crew) Getting a better look!

*(Then he proceeded to check the beautiful view of the forest in amazement while Tombo and the crew decided to leave him alone for now and finish tying the Susan Constant down. Still hidden, Eevee's group suddenly got interested in Fievel)*

Comet Tail: (Whispering to Eevee and the rest of the Stallion Seven) Hey, do you see that mouse...?

Caramel: (Whispering in agreement) Yeah....

*(Eevee chirped in agreement while whispering)*

Thunderlane: (Whispering) I think we should check him out.

Caramel: (Whispering) Good idea, Thunderlane.

*(Then Eevee's group emerged from the bushes quietly and cautiously approached Knuckles slowly, despite Olivia and Chatot, who noticed, trying to stop them in concern. Chatot then pulled at Comet Tail's tail)*

Chatot: (Whispering and straining) Chatot...!

*(But Chatot's grip slipped from Comet Tail's tail, causing Chatot to crash back into the bush next to Olivia and Comet Tail to be sent flying into Eevee's group, who then bumped into Fievel, getting his attention)*

Fievel: (Pulling his knife out) Hey!

*(He then noticed Eevee's group, grinning nervously at him. Then, to their relief, Fievel got interested and curious on the eight new animals he's encountering as he puts his knife away)*

Fievel: Well, you’re strange-looking fellows.

Caramel: Well, you look kinda strange-looking as well.

Stallion Seven: Yeah.

*(Hearing them speak, Fievel wasn't afraid)*

Fievel: So you, too, can talk?

Comet Tail: Yep.

Fievel: Well, I know a couple of animal friends back there that can also talk.

Pokey Pierce: (Interested) Huh.

Flash Sentry: Are your friends nice?

Fievel: Yes, they are friendly.

*(Suddenly, Braeburn's stomach growled a bit)*

Braeburn: Suddenly, I'm hungry.

*(Hearing him, Fievel then pulled an apple out)*

Fievel: You can have this if you'd like.

*(The Stallion Seven got curious. Even Eevee chirped in curiosity)*

Pokey Pierce: What is that?

Fievel: It's called an apple. Apples grow on trees, and yes, it's food.

*(Fievel then cuts the apple into seven pieces with his knife and hands each piece to Eevee and each member of the Stallion Seven. Eevee’s group then ate their piece and loved it as Fievel puts his knife away)*

Braeburn: Wow! That's delicious.

*(Eevee chirps happily in agreement)*

Fievel: Glad you liked it. Try eating it for four months straight.

*(Eevee and Caramel then called out to the bush, with Eevee chirping a bit, with the still hidden Olivia and Chatot, who were watching this in amazement, glad to see Eevee's group making friends with this stranger)*

Caramel: (Happily to the hidden Olivia and Chatot) Hey!

*(Noticing the bush, Fievel got curious)*

Fievel: You got a friend back there?

Soarin: Sure do, Mister.

*(Then as Fievel approached the bush to see, Olivia got nervous, worried what Fievel might do if he saw her. Suddenly, Chatot zipped out and greeted Fievel quickly)*

Fievel: Whoa!

Chatot: (Happily) Chatot, chatot, cha-chatot, tot, chat.

*(She gestures to Eevee's group. Getting it, Eevee's group agreed, with Comet Tail translating Chatot)*

Comet Tail: She says, "Sorry for startling you. I'm the friend they're talking about."

Stallion Seven: Yeah, that's her.

*(Even Eevee chirps in agreement. Suddenly, they heard a horn is heard blowing away a bit back at the shore. Then Ash, unaware with the crew of what Fievel is doing, called out to him)*

Ash: Fievel, you better get down here! The Governor’s coming ashore!

Fievel: (Calling to Ash) All right! *(To Eevee's group and Chatot)* Nice meeting you.

*(Then, after giving some apples to Eevee's group, Fievel left. Once all alone as Eevee's group gobbled some apples down, they and Chatot turned to Olivia, who quietly emerged from the bush)*

Comet Tail: It's alright, for now.

Chatot: (Nods) Chatot.

Olivia: (To Eevee's group) He seems nice, for a stranger.

*(Caramel burped softly from the apple he ate)*

Caramel: Excuse me.

*(Then Comet Tail got interested)*

Comet Tail: You know what? My boys and I are gonna see that guy's friends he talked about before.

Thunderlane: See what they're like.

*(Eevee chirps in agreement)*

Olivia: Okay. But stay hidden.

Chatot: (Nods) Chat.

Braeburn: And we'll hopefully not do anything reckless.

*(Then with that, Olivia and Chatot remained hidden while Eevee's group secretly headed down to the shore where the Susan Constant is via the high tree branches hanging nearby the cliffside. Unknown to everyone, a Lenape Tribe member scout saw the crew settling down at the shore from afar, carrying strange-looking weapons he's never seen before. Then he retreated back to the village. Once back at the village, Hiram, having been told by the scout from what he just saw with his people, is holding a meeting inside his teepee, with Nicodemus, Sidney, and Scrooge attending it)*

Male Lenape Tribe member 1: Did you see some of their skin? Pale and sickly.

Male Lenape Tribe member 2: Some even have hair on their faces like dogs.

Hiram: (To his people) My brothers, we must know more about these visitors. *(To Nicodemus)* Nicodemus, what do you see?

*(Answering that question, Nicodemus then chanted a bit as he sprinkled some powder into a small bonfire sitting in the middle of the teepee, unleashing some smoky images of the strangers and what they appear to be doing. As Nicodemus explained away, the smoky images then showed what he is describing)*

Nicodemus: These are not men like us, but strange beasts with bodies that shine like the sun, and weapons that spout fire and thunder. They prowl the earth like ravenous wolves, consuming everything in their path.

*(After the smoky images finished, the Lenape Tribe grew calmly concerned of what Nicodemus just explained. Then Sidney spoke up in determination)*

Sidney: Great Hiram Flaversham. I will lead our warriors to the river and attack. We will destroy these invaders the way we destroyed the Yoshiuxe Tribe easily.

Hiram: But Sidney, in that battle, we knew how to fight our enemy. And these pale visitors are strange to us. Take some of our men to the river and observe them before we can decide if those strangers are friendly or not. Until then, let us hope they do not intend to stay.

*(Giving a nod, Sidney, taking Scrooge and some Lenape Tribe warriors with, left to go investigate these strangers at the shore)*

***Coming up: After naming the area Jamestown, as well as Toby meeting and forming a rivalry with Hops, the settlers proceed, under Clayton's orders, to start digging up some of the forest for gold. Then later, as Skippy explores more of the New World's forest, he and Lana, along with Hops, Dinky, and Boomer, finally meet.***
