"Charming and the Lioness" Part 25 - Transformation/Happy Ending

(Jade, Mrs. Calloway and Baloo rush up to the tower and are shocked to see their mistress dying in Danny's arms as he comforts her.)

* Nala: You... you came back.
* Danny: Of course I came back. I couldn't let them... oh this all my fault! If only I'd gotten here sooner.
* Nala: (hardly breathing) Maybe, it's better... it's better this way.
* Danny: Don't talk like that. You'll be all right. We're together now. Everything's going to be fine. You'll see.
* Nala: At least I got to see you one... last...time.

(Danny pulls Nala's paw up to his cheek. She holds it there for a second, then drops it. Her head falls back, and her eyes close. Danny drops the paw and puts his hands to his mouth. He can't believe this has happened.)

* Danny: (Crying) No, no! Please! Please! Please don't leave me! I love you!

(Cut to Jade, Calloway and Baloo who watch the last petal fall off the rose. They all look down at the floor, and Calloway puts her arm around Baloo. Cut back to Danny and Nala. The rain continues to fall. But one beam of light falls, like a shooting star. Then another comes. And another, and another. Danny finally notices what is happening. He stops crying for a second, then starts to back away. We cut A fog begins to enshroud Nala. We see the Animals looking on in extreme anticipation. Nala rises up into the air magically and begins to turn. She is enveloped in a cloud of light, and becomes wrapped in her vest. Underneath, we can see Nala's body shifting and forming. A fore paw comes out and the claws turn into fingers. A hind paw emerges and develops into a foot. Finally, a wind blows across her face and the fur melts away to reveal a young goth girl. She gradually descends and is laid on the floor again. The fog disappears and Danny reaches out to touch her. He jerks his hand back, however, when the figure begins to move. It stands, then looks at it's hands, then turns to face Danny. It is Sam Manson, with the same eyes as Nala. She is obviously Nala, transformed. Danny gives her a mysterious look.)

* Sam: Danny! It's me!

(He continues to look at her skeptically, but then he sees the eyes, and
instantly knows it is her.)

* Danny: It is you!

(They kiss. A fireworks display explodes around them. The gloom surrounding the castle disappears, revealing a blue sky. The castle is transformed, with the gargoyles changing into cherubs. Finally, we return to the balcony, where
the animals hop out to meet Sam and Danny. One by one, they are transformed back to their original human conditions.)

* Sam: Jasmine! Uberta! Oh, Mr. Green! Look at us!

(Molly comes riding in on Weenie.)

* Molly: Papa! Papa!

(The pair transforms back into a girl (Tilly Green) and dog (Lady).)

* Bill Green: (Picking up his girl) Oh my goodness!
* Jasmine: It is a miracle!

(Sam picks up Danny and swings him around. The ruffles of his vest wipe to the ballroom, where all are gathered to celebrate. Sam and Danny dance around the room as the rest of the characters get in their last lines.)

* Jasmine: Ah, l'amour. (She says this, and a young street rat named Aladdin, obviously the former Arctic Fox (Swifty) walks by, brushing her on the chin.) Heh heh! (She starts to chase after him, but Uberta stops her.)
* Uberta: Well, Jasmine, old friend. Shall we let bygones be bygones?
* Jasmine: Of course, mon ami. I told you he would break the spell.
* Uberta: I beg your pardon, old friend, but I believe I told you.
* Jasmine: No you didn't. I told you.
* Uberta: You most certainly did not, you pompous bushy-tailed pea-brain!
* Jasmine: En garde, you overgrown bovine! (She takes out her handkerchief and slaps Uberta across the face with it. They begin to fight. Cut to Danny and Sam who continue to dance around the floor. The camera stops on Bill, Tilly and Maddie, who is beginning to cry.)
* Tilly: Are they gonna live happily ever after, papa?
* Bill: Of course, my dear. Of course.
* Tilly: (Looks happy for a moment, then puzzled.) Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?

(Maddie laughs and Bill hugs his child and laughs. Cut to a camera looking over the entire ballroom with all in the shot. It slowly zooms out with Danny and Sam dancing around the room, and fades into the final stained glass window, this one with Danny and Sam in the center, surrounded by the rest of the characters.)

* Chorus: Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme
Charming and the she-beast!

Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme
Charming and the she-beast!

(Title: The End.)
