The Wolf's Elemental Stone Deal/The Beetle Ball Contest

*(While in the forest still, Team Fantasy continued their trek when they sat down to relax)*

Applejack: No sign of that wolf so far.

Smarty: And I doubt we’ll find him and this ruby red sequoia tree faster.

Thunderlane: Don’t be so pessimistic, Smarty.

Foghorn: Yeah, Smarty! Remember my song?

*(He hums his song for a bit)*

Smarty: I know.

Stupid: Duh, what does following your heart and dreams have to do with overcoming impossible things?

Daffy: Everything. That’s what.

Wheezy: Again, how?

Bia: Well, what Daffy and Foghorn are trying to say is that overcoming impossible things by following your heart and dreams helps you boost your confidence and never doubt anything at all. And you can take that to the bank.

Smarty: Yeah, well, I honestly don’t think it’s true.

Team Fantasy: What?

Smarty: As much as I don’t want to say it, but I wouldn’t wait to see your face when impossible things can’t be accomplished. It’s nothing but a child’s dream.

Pokey Pierce: This coming from a weasel that earns money from singing on stage? Really?

Lola: That’s crazy talk.

Smarty: Well, my men and I do earn money by performing, but it’s nothing compared to what Foghorn and Daffy’s song is telling us.

Bia: Well, I believe it does.

*(Then Bia began singing Foghorn and Daffy’s song through loud hums while Smarty sighed softly)*

Smarty: It’s not making me better.

*(But Bia continued humming when suddenly, a giddy laughing figure landed on his feet in front of the team, startling them)*

Team Fantasy: Whoa!

*(Then the figure was revealed to be a wolf. He has light brown fur and a black nose, and wearing a white dress shirt, a matching bow tie, a black tuxedo, and matching trousers. He also wears matching shoes with white spats over them. Upon noticing what he looks like, Team Fantasy slowly realized)*

Rev: Hold on. That must be the wolf we were told about.

Wolf: (Giggles) Good guess, bird boy.

Rev: (Surprised) Bird boy?!

Soarin: For your information, he’s a prince.

Wolf: A prince?

Rev: Yeah. A roadrunner prince.

Wolf: Hence the wings.

*(He leaps over to Bia happily)*

Wolf: But that is not why I’m here! I’m our here because I’m looking for performers to perform at the Beetle Ball Contest in my ruby red sequoia tree! And performers need to be extremely…!

*(He politely kisses Bia’s hand like a gentleman)*

Wolf: Beautiful….Creature!

Sonic: Just what kind of a creature?

Wolf: Any creature. Just so long as she's beautiful!

Smarty: (Scoffs) Beauty vain, I see.

Wolf: Nope! I’m a connoisseur of beauty. And you, sir, ain’t no beauty queen.

Smarty: (Angrily insulted) WHAT?!

Panchito: (Calming him) Easy there, Smarty.

*(He turned to the wolf)*

Sally: What is your name?

Wolf: (Realizing) Oh, sorry. Got a little carried away.

*(He bows)*

Wolf: My name is McWolf. You can call me Wolfie or Wolf for short.

Lola: And this contest you’re holding at your tree?

*(The wolf explained)*

Wolf: Why, it’s the special gala I throw every Fall at the Ruby Beetle Clubhouse.

Knuckles and Amy: (Flatly) Yawn.

Wolf: And this year’s grand prize is this beautiful gem I found in these woods!

*(He shows a picture of himself holding the Elemental Stone, getting everyone’s interest)*

Knuckles and Amy: (Interested) Oh, unyawn.

Wolf: And whoever makes the best performance is the winner of this!

*(He puts his picture away)*

Wolf: And I take it you know this object?

Rev: Why, yes. That’s the Elemental Stone.

Wolf: From the Fairy Kingdom?

Team Fantasy: Yes!

Sofia: Will you give it to us?

Bugs: Yeah, will ya?

Wolf: Uh-uh-uh-uh! You gotta join the contest if you want it.

Jose: And my guess is that none of us will be performing, right?

Wolf: But that blonde-haired babe can!

*(He points at Bia)*

Bia: Me?

Wolf: Yeah! Ask away for permission to join the contest.

*(Team Fantasy encouraged the blonde-haired girl)*

Team Fantasy, except Bia: Yeah, ask away.

Bia: Okay.

*(They turned to Wolf)*

Bia: May I have…?

Wolf: No, no, no, no. Sing the permit.

Team Fantasy: (Confused) Sing? *(Realizes)*Oh, okay.

Rev: He must’ve heard you humming. So he wants you to sing to him a permit.

*(Understanding, Bia then sang her question, much to the Wolf’s delight)*

Bia: **I have an idea**

**Can you put me in the contest?**

Wolf: (Playfully) And why would you want to join?

Bia: **We’d like the Elemental Stone**

**Pretty please?**

*(The wolf thinks it over and gives in happily)*

Wolf: Yep! You can join!

Bia: **Thank you**

Wolf: You don’t have to thank me in song form, now.

Bia: (Realizing) Oh, thank you.

Team Fantasy: And what about us?

Wolf: Hmm, you guys can help support that babe in the contest.

Flik: And how will she perform?

Wolf: Singing and dancing, that’s what.

Atta: So, where’s your clubhouse and the ruby red tree?

Wolf: It’s just right here!

*(He points down the road, revealing that the Ruby Beetle Clubhouse is nearby, much to Team Fantasy’s surprise)*

Pinkie Pie: Well, that was fast that we found it.

Wolf: And one more thing, that babe of yours will be considered clumsy to my club in this present state.

Tails: Why? She’s pretty.

Wolf: Unless you have an alternate outfit idea, she can’t get in.

*(Thinking it over, the female members of Team Fantasy got it)*

Female members: We got an idea!

Amy: What if we dress Bia up as Mariposa the butterfly fairy?

Wolf: Bia Jetstream?

Bia: That’s my name. I’m Bianca Elizabeth Jetstream. But everyone calls me Bia.

Wolf: (Shrugging) Lovely name.

*(He turned to the female members)*

Wolf: Go on.

Rarity: We can make her outfit shine like diamonds.

Sunset Shimmer: And the sun, but not too bright.

Twilight Sparkle: And maybe the moon, even?

Female members: Yeah!

Fluttershy: She’ll look lovely in that!

Wolf: Okay. Where’s the outfit?

*(Then the Mane Seven magically transformed Bia’s attire into a butterfly-themed dress that consists of a pink, blue, and purple dress with colorful butterflies on the top, a flower headband, pink shoes with criss-cross heart straps, and pink and white butterfly wings with some blue parts (similar to Mariposa's outfit from "Barbie: Mariposa"), much to their amazement)*

Cosmo: Now that’s beautiful!

Wolf: I’ll say!

*(Then he lead them into the clubhouse)*

Wolf: We got a contest to work on!

*(And with that, they were inside already. Unknown to them, Hunch, Drake, and Valon have unfortunately overheard and saw the whole thing and smirked evilly at this)*

Drake: (Sarcastically) Oh, beautiful, indeed.

Valon: (Sarcastically) What would happen if that life-sized Barbie doll was to be unexpectantly humiliated?

*(They chuckle evilly a bit, and then turning invisible, they head inside from behind the tree leading to the stage. At the stage, Team Fantasy is helping out in the performance, helping the Wolf and Bia perform on stage in front of a crowd of bugs. With the performers on stage is a red-headed fairy, a woman wearing a red bodysuit with white laces, white opera gloves, red shoes, and pink dragonfly-like wings and four vultures. They are Red Hot Riding Hood, and Buzzy, Ziggy, Flaps, and Dizzy respectively. As the hidden invisible villains prepared for their cue to humiliate Bia, the performers started the show to the music by dancing while Bia is standing in the center waving hello to everyone. Then the Wolf sang out, starting the singing)*

Wolf: **Baby, it’s the Beetle Ball Contest**

**And bugs are crawling to get in**

**When they hear that beetle beat**

**Those beetle feet’ll start to spin**

**And how they’ll cheer**

**For you, my dear**

**Yer beautiful, baby**

*(The bugs cheered for Bia, who then started boogieing to the rhythm on cue)*

Performers: **Oh, our little butterfly**

**You flutter by and there’s romance**

Wolf: **Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa**

Performers: **Every chance we dance with you**

**Puts the ants back in our pants**

Wolf: **Wa-wa**

Performers: **Let’s cut some rugs**

**Our ladybug**

**Yer beautiful, baby**

*(The hidden invisible villains secretly arrived on stage, ready for their secret cue with evil smirks)*

Wolf: **I get a buzz**

**When I have you on my wing**

**You tie my big mouth in a knot**

**Now the room’s reeling**

**And I’m feeling**

**So ha-ha-ha-ha-hot to trot**

**Let’s dance, baby**

*(As the performance continued, the bug crowd started giving compliments)*

Male bug 1: Isn't she beautiful?

Female bug 1: Just adorable, darling.

Male bug 2: What a piece of work!

Male bug 3: Oh, would you look at her?

*(The wolf then turned to the performers)*

Wolf: Okay, let’s wing it!

*(On that cue, the villains secretly use their psychic powers to spin the unsuspecting Bia around, making her wreck butterfly fairy outfit and showing her meganta strapless bikini from underneath, much to their teammates’ concern. Suddenly, the bugs and even the performers and the Wolf started to laugh slowly at the girl’s misfortune as Bia recovered and got up. As the laughter started to get stronger, the villains smirked evilly and left secretly, turning visible again and apparently going to get the other villains. Back on stage, Wolf, the vultures, and bugs started mocking the blonde-haired girl as Red and Team Fantasy got concerned)*

Bugs and vultures (Except Red): **Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha**

**Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho**

**She’s, she's, she's, she's, so, so, so, so**

**Hey, that bug is clumsy**

*(Bia sheepishly laughed and tried to dance again, but the bugs and performers are still calling her clumsy)*

Female bug 1: My, my!

Male bug 4: Gullible, indeed!

Female bug 2: The word, my dear, is clumsy.

Male bug 2: She's so naïve, she's in her bikini.

Female bug 3: Here, here.

Male bug 3: I hope it ain’t catchin’. So gullible and naive!

*(Then they began mocking the poor girl, making her stop dancing and feeling hurt from those words as Team Fantasy and Red got concerned even more)*

Bugs and performers: **Would you look at that?**

**She ain’t got no wings**

**Good gracious, me**

**What is those thing?**

**She ain’t got no feelers**

**No feelers**

**She ain’t got no shell**

**Do tell**

**She's got scrawny legs and knobby knees**

**For all we know**

**The gal got fleas**

**She can’t even fly**

**No, that won’t do**

**So, say goodbye**

**She's not for you**

Wolf: **Sorry toots**

**We guess you’re too**

**Ooooh**

**Clumsy**

*(On “clumsy,” the Wolf whacked Bia on the back with a cane, startling her, and magically changing back into her yellow tank top, purple shorts, white gloves, white socks, and purple/white sneakers again as the bugs and performers laughed harder at her)*

Wolf: Sorry, girl. You lost.

Bia: (Sobbing) I'm not clumsy.

*(As the laughter and jeering continued, Team Fantasy went up to Bia in concern, who was backing away sadly, as if her heart was breaking. Then Bia ran outside, crying her eyes out, and Team Fantasy ran after her, but Donald tripped and fell while following. The laughter and mockery intensified even more after that, and while Jose and Panchito stopped to go help Donald, they silently motioned them to stop, and make them go on ahead, to which they nod in agreement and then Smarty and Anger turned to the laughing bugs and performers as Donald slowly got up and recovered, their anger slowly reaching a boiling point. Then they went to the center of the stage and Smarty screamed out to them after grabbing a microphone, getting their attention and making them quiet down)*

Smarty: Stop that laughing!

*(Silence as the Wolf, the bugs, and vultures got calmly surprised)*

Wolf: Whoa, whoa! You don’t have to get all antsy!

Smarty: I said stop, fuzz-face.

*(Surprised at that insult, the crowd and even the Wolf quieted down. Then Smarty, remembering Bia’s berating to him and the weasels, spoke up first)*

Smarty: Have you no qualm for this girl?!

*(A short pause, then Red asked)*

Red: Define “qualm.”

Smarty: (Sighs in agitation) It means compassion and understanding situations like this!

*(Realizing, Red got it and the Wolf and the crowd listened)*

Smarty: You say you like beautiful things, yet you laugh and mock at the real beauty in front of all of you ingrates!

*(He hands Anger the microphone)*

Anger: And that Elemental Stone we were aiming to win in this contest is the Fairy Kingdom’s lifeforce! And we’re trying to get it back so we can return it to the Element Temple and restore everything there, before come Day 2 of Spring, the Fairy Kingdom *and* the world will be succumbed to the Kingdom of Darkness!

*(Surprised in realization, the crowd got concerned as Donald was handed the microphone)*

Donald: We all die later on without the Elemental Stone because of you mocking bugs!

*(Smarty took back the microphone from Donald)*

Smarty: And if youmugs have hearts, I’d apologize and do what’s right for the fate of the Fairy Kingdom and the world!

*(Anger took the microphone from Smarty)*

Anger: And if not, here’s what we’ll say to you! How would you like it if somebody mocked you for your appearances and called you names?!

*(The concerned crowd remained silent as they hung their heads guiltily, shedding some tears. Then the weasel scoffed as Donald puts the microphone away)*

Donald: Exactly!

Anger: Stupid mocking punks!

*(Then with that, they left as the crowd remained silent with calm guilty looks. Outside, as nighttime came, Bia is huddled in a corner, her face buried in her arms and knees, crying silently)*

Bia: (Sobbing) Who do those heartless guys think they are…!

*(Then Team Fantasy arrived, feeling sorry for her)*

Tails: Bia?

*(The blonde-haired girl noticed tearfully and just remained silent as they sat next to her in comfort)*

Rev: Hey, hey….You okay?

Amy: Tell dear Amy Rose your problems.

Bia: (Crying) I'm hurt, *(Sniffles)*humiliated, and…. *(Sobs softly)* That mean old wolf ruined my chance at getting the Elemental Stone, because he made me cry by calling me "clumsy"! How could he?!

*(She broke down crying softly)*

Foghorn: Please don’t cry, gal. I hate to see girls like you cry like that.

*(Smarty, Anger, and Donald arrived)*

Smarty: Hey!

*(They turned and saw them. Noticing Bia still teary-eyed, the three got concerned)*

Smarty: Bad time to tell you what we did just now, huh?

Sally: Well….

Bia: (Sadly) It’s okay….Tell me….

Anger: Well, if it’ll make both of you feel better, we told them off.

*(Bia got calmly surprised)*

Donald: It’s true.

Smarty: Called those suckers derogatory names as well.

Greasy: *Humillado* them. Which means “humiliated.”

*(Bia sighed sadly with a soft smile)*

Bia: (Sadly with a soft smile) Thanks.

Rev: Have you ever heard of “The Ugly Duckling?” The story of the…?

*(Bia got interested while Knuckles snapped)*

Knuckles: Rev! Don’t make it worse!

Rev: I was just trying to cheer….

Knuckles: But the title has that word Bia was…!

Bia: Knuckles, it’s okay. I love that story.

*(Knuckles got calmly surprised)*

Knuckles: (To Bia) Oh. *(To Rev)* Go ahead.

*(Rev asked away. At the same time, the Wolf and the vultures arrived secretly and listened, carrying a bag containing something)*

Rev: Remember how that story ended happy? And what did the ugly duckling turn out to be?

*(Bia slowly smiled softly while thinking it over, and answered happily while wiping her tears away)*

Bia: Well, for your question, Rev, the ugly duckling turned out to be a beautiful swan. And your question, he was taken in by his real family in the form of a flock of swans and the ducks that casted him out became friends with him after the duckling saved them and his real family from an evil fox.

Rev: Exactly. And maybe, just maybe, you….

*(He tries to think of something to not make Bia upset, but Bia, smiled softly and feeling better, knowing what Rev will say)*

Bia: Could be like a swan as well. A beautiful one. For starters, I could grow to be beautiful. Like me trying to find out my true heritage from the Elemental Stone. And once I know who my real family is, maybe, just maybe, I could understand each other.

*(Team Fantasy smiled softly, glad to see Bia feeling better and confident again)*

Jose: How did you know the story of the ugly duckling, Rev?

Rev: I was read that story by my parents.

Bia: Mother and Father read me that story the other night as well.

Blossom: And it’s a great story.

Brick: (Realizing) Ah….

Panchito: So it’s not about who you are on the outside….

Elena: But who you are on the inside….

Daffy: Same with following your heart and dreams.

*(Near them, the Wolf and the vultures smiled softly, feeling touched by this. Although the Wolf’s were tearful, and as he wiped a tear away while sniffling, he accidentally knocked a piece of broken tree bark down with his elbow, getting Team Fantasy’s attention and noticing them, making the seven snap out of their touched reactions and getting surprised and the Wolf blinking his tears away)*

Smarty: (Angrily) What do *you* want?

*(The Wolf cleared his throat)*

Wolf: Well, uh….

Disgust: You’re not here to make things worse again, are you?

Wolf: No. It’s just that….

*(He sighs sadly)*

Wolf: Okay. My guys and I will admit it.

Buzzy: We thought over the beratin’ from your backstory on the Elemental Stone being here….

Flaps: We really did think long and hard about it.

Ziggy: And I know some of you won’t accept it, but….

Dizzy: Sorry.

*(Team Fantasy got calmly surprised)*

Flaps: What? Do we have to spell it out for you?!

Wolf: (Annunciating) We’re apologizing for the mockery!

*(A short pause, then Elena spoke up)*

Elena: And the Elemental Stone?

*(The Wolf pulled the bag out and revealed the Elemental Stone in there)*

Wolf: You said so yourselves it’s a matter of life and death, right?

Team Fantasy: Yeah.

Wolf: Well, we’re gonna let you back in the contest and sing about our dreams, see?

*(Team Fantasy got interested)*

Bia: You all have dreams?

Wolf: Yep!

Dizzy: But we’ll tell you inside.

Buzzy: And after singing about our dreams….

Wolf: We’ll give you the Elemental Stone. No grand prize whatsoever.

*(Team Fantasy got calmly happy)*

Team Fantasy: Thank you!

*(Then with that, they go inside)*

***Coming up: Team Fantasy and the Wolf’s group perform a redux on the contest by explaining their dreams through song. But afterwards, however, the villains arrive to get the Elemental Stone, which leads to a big fight in the clubhouse, determining the fate of the Elemental Stone.***
