Elise and Luna's Argument/Elise Visits Babamon

*(In the master bedroom later, Luna slammed the door open and went in, throwing Elise out of her grip into the room, her temper boiling. Even Richard, Gosalyn, Mr. Mallard, and Scrooge entered in concern)*

Luna: I can’t believe you! I have had enough of your defiance, young lady!

*(Shocked on what Luna just said after recovering, Elise tried to reason with her)*

Elise: You’re the one who….

Luna: (Cutting her off) How could you go behind my back and join that competition?!

Elise: I just want to make you pr….

Luna: (Cutting her off again) You have no idea what happens to knights!

Elise: It’s true knights die, but…!

Luna: (Cutting her off again) You want to die like Herc did?! Or worse, loose a limb like your father?!

Elise: (Starting to get angry) Listen to me!

Luna: *I* am your mother! *You* listen to me!

*(Elise groans in anger)*

Elise: This is not fair!

Luna: How is it not fair?!

Elise: Ever since Dad lost his foot and Uncle Herc died, you were never there for me lately! All I wanted was to make you proud of me and approve of my dream! And isn’t that enough? No! All you do is never listen to me, never understand me, and worse of all, you always give up on me whenever I bring my dream up! And I’m not gonna be a farmer princess forever!

Luna: (Scoffs) You are overreacting like a child!

*(Shocked along with Richard, Mr. Mallard, Gosalyn, and Scrooge at what Luna said about her just now, Elise then got really angry)*

Elise: Yeah, well…!

*(She takes a sword from an armory)*

Elise: You are nothing but a selfish, control-freakish beast! That’s what you are!

*(She aims the blade’s tip at the tapestry; On the very spot between Elise and Luna’s images, much to Luna’s shock while Richard, Gosalyn, Scrooge, and Mr. Mallard got concerned)*

Luna: Elise!

Elise: I don’t ever want to be a farm princess!

Luna: No, stop!

Elise: I’d rather *die* than be like you!

*(On “Die,” Elise, with one swipe of the sword, slashes the tapestry, ripping a straight-lined hole between the images of herself and Luna. Richard, Scrooge, Gosalyn, Mr. Mallard, and even Luna gasped in shock at what Elise just did. Then, the unexpected for Elise happened; While Richard, Scrooge, Mr. Mallard, and Gosalyn backed away at the door in concern, Luna, upset over her tapestry getting ripped, fumed with fury that she marched up to Elise in anger)*

Luna: (Angrily) Elise! You *are* just a farm princess!

*(She slaps the sword out of Elise’s hands, making it fall onto the floor and then she attempts to snatch Elise’s bow off of her daughter, but Elise quickly grabbed it and they tugged on it)*

Diana: (Angrily) And I expect what’s best for you!

*(But in the end of the tug-o-war, Luna finally yanked Elise’s bow out of Elise’s hands and headed to the burning fireplace. Realizing what she’s gonna do, Elise and even Mr. Mallard attempted to grab her bow away, but Luna slapped them aside, shocking Richard, Scrooge, Gosalyn, and even the recovering Mr. Mallard. As Elise recovered in shock, Luna then threw the bow into the fireplace, shocking Elise and even Richard, Gosalyn, Mr. Mallard, and Scrooge. Then Luna turned to Elise in anger. Then as Elise and Mr. Mallard got up, Elise's eyes flooded with tears upon seeing her bow starting to burn in the fireplace. She then clenched her fists in angry tears)*

Elise: I HATE YOU!!!!

Mr. Mallard: HOW COULD YOU?!

*(Then while Mr. Mallard grabbed Gosalyn, Elise and the two ran out of the room, with Elise in angry tears)*

Luna: Elise, Gosalyn, Mr. Mallard!

*(Suddenly hearing a spark popping in the fireplace from the bow, apparently from the string popping off the bow, Luna turned to the fireplace and got shocked, realizing her actions)*

Luna: Oh, no!

*(Then she grabbed a poker and fished the partially burnt bow out of the fireplace. She then got saddened at her actions)*

Luna: What have I done?

*(Richard and Scrooge glared softly and then calmly snapped at her)*

Scrooge: Why did you have to do that?!

Richard: That wasn't fair!

Luna: Richard, Scrooge, I didn’t mean it! I just wanted what’s best besides that dream of h…!

Richard: Maybe our daughter’s right.

Scrooge: Aye, you are nothing but a beast.

*(Grabbing a fireplace towel, Richard took the bow and stormed out of the room with Scrooge as Luna just sat in a kneeling position, unsure of what to do. Outside, Elise, in angry tears unaware of what just happened after she ran out, and even Mr. Mallard and Gosalyn rushed out like a hurricane, running by their concerned apartment residents. Then Elise climbed on Khan and they rode off, passing by the kids)*

Honker: Elise?

Tank: What happened?

*(But no answer. Elise, Mr. Mallard, Gosalyn, and Khan rode off quickly and were gone. In the rock valley road all the way to the field, Elise didn’t look where she was going as she cried softly on Khan’s back while Khan continued running and Mr. Mallard and Gosalyn steered him, for Elise believed she is never gonna get her dream of becoming a knight princess with her bow taken from her or the fact that Luna will accept her dream ever. Then upon approaching the entrance to the Forbidden Forest, Mr. Mallard made Khan skid to a stop, snapping Elise out of her sobbing and looking up)*

Mr. Mallard: Elise….

*(Elise turned to Mr. Mallard and Gosalyn, all teary-eyed and panting some sobs)*

Mr. Mallard: We’re near the Forbidden Forest.

Gosalyn: We should....

Elise: (Sniffles while wiping her tears away) I know.

*(Suddenly, they heard soft whispers. They looked and saw….)*

Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard: The Wisps….

*(Then the Wisps noticed how distressed Elise is feeling and ushered her, Gosalyn, Mr. Mallard, and Khan for something, confusing the four at first, and then Elise and Mr. Mallard and even Gosalyn slowly realizing and remembering something)*

Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard: “Lead to one’s destination….”

*(They climbed off Khan and while guiding him into the Forbidden Forest, they followed the Wisps to where they're leading. Deeper and deeper they followed until they come across a huge mansion-like cottage. After ushering Khan to stay, which he obeys to do what he’s ordered to do, Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard approached the front door and knocked on it)*

Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard: Hello?

*(Then the door slowly opened, revealing to be two creatures. The first creature is a female Mobian badger with orange fur, brown markings, and flat orange hair-like fur with brown markings tied in pigtails, blue eyes, a black nose, peach skin, and wearing a yellow shoulder band on her right shoulder, a beige curled bracelet on her left wrist, a sea-themed charm necklace, a beige tubetop, a brown skirt with beige patches, and beige shoes with brown patches. She is Sticks the Badger. And the last creature is a small, male, foxlike flying creature with white skin, magenta fur, a white muzzle, underbelly, neck ruff, and tuft of hair on his head, mint-green dragonfly-like wings, a black nose, amber eyes, large, foxlike ears with white interiors, a small bobbed white tail, white hands and feet, and wearing a mint green necklace with a mint-green bauble pendant. He is Chip. Upon noticing each other, Sticks and Chip greeted them)*

Chip: Hi there!

Stick: Welcome! Good to see three customers.

*(Despite getting surprised by them speaking, Elise, Mr. Mallard, and Gosalyn silently waved hello meekly. Sticks then opened the door wider and Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard slowly entered while Chip and Sticks backed off, looking around in amazement at the interior. It was like a woodcarver’s shop and it’s full of wooden objects shaped like bears. Noticing two small cute creatures, Elise, Mr. Mallard, and Gosalyn walked up to them and greeted them softly. The first creature is a male Chao with blue skin, yellow markings and a yellow ball floating above his teardrop-shaped head, royal blue eyes, small pink angel-like wings, and wearing a red bowtie. He is Cheese the Chao. And the last creature is a male frog with green skin, dark green lines, light green underbelly, and yellow eyes. He is Froggy)*

Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard: Hey.

*(Noticing them, Cheese and Froggy panicked and zipped away, hiding himself in fear. Suddenly, a group of creatures appeared, checking on Cheese and Froggy along with Chip and Sticks. The first creature is a female 12 year old pink hedgehog with short pink hair-like quills, peach skin, a black nose, green eyes, and wearing a red hairband, a red sleeveless back-exposed turtleneck dress with a white neck and skirt rim, white gloves with yellow rims, and red and white boots. She is Amy Rose. The second creature is a female 8 year old plant-like creature with light green skin, green hair with fuchsia almost-budding roses on each side, aqua blue eyes, and wearing a green long-sleeved dress with a white, petal-like skirt with green tips at the ends, white stockings, and green ballet slippers. She is Cosmo the Seedrian. The third creature is a female 11 year old echidna with orange fur, orange braids with white bandages, peach skin, green eyes, and wearing a gold headband, a matching necklace and armband on her right shoulder, a white bandana tied on her left arm, a white cropped tanktop, white gloves with cobalt blue rims, a yellow tribal skirt with beige, green, and red triangular patterns, and white sandals. She is Tikal. The fourth creature is a female 16 year old bat with white fur, tan skin, black bat wings, blue eyeshadow, dark aqua blue eyes, a black nose, and wearing a black tubetop-like sleeveless jumpsuit, a pink heart-shaped brooch, white arm gloves with pink rims, and white high-heeled boots with pink rims and pink heart symbols at the feet. She is Rouge the Bat. The fifth creature is a pyrokinetic female cat with light purple fur, spiky light purple quills with purple tips tied in a ponytail, white patches on her muzzle, a black nose, a tiny oval-shaped red gem on the forehead, gold eyes, a purple tip on her tail, and wearing a purple long-sleeved dress-like/jacket-like shirt with a gold neck rim, pink skirt rim, white pants, white sleeve rim ruffles on her wrists and ankles, and pink high-heeled shoes with white rims. She is Blaze the Cat. The sixth creature is a female 6 year old rabbit with light orange fur, orange markings on her head, eyes, and ear tips, a black nose, white skin, dark orange eyes, and wearing an orange sleeveless dress with a white Peter Pan collar, a blue ribbon on her neck collar, white gloves with a yellow cufflink, white socks, and orange and yellow shoes. She is Cream the Rabbit, Cheese's best friend. The seventh creature is a big and chubby male cat with purple fur, yellow eyes, a black nose, dark purple stripes, white patches of fur, and wearing an orange belt with a yellow buckle, light orange gloves, and royal blue boots with orange rims, and sometimes carried a fishing pole. He is Big the Cat, Froggy's best friend. And the last creature is a female 15 year old wolf with white pink fur, light peach-colored skin, light blue eyes, and wearing a purple tanktop, white fingerless gloves, blue shorts, white socks, and red low-heeled boots. She is Kayla the Wolf. Then the group began chattering softly, comforting Cheese and Froggy. Then Cream and Big reassured them calmly)*

Cream: It’s okay. They’re customers.

*(Cheese and Froggy got confused and looked at Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard)*

Cheese: (Confused) Chao, chao?

*(Froggy croaks in question)*

Big: You know, customers.

*(Cheese and Froggy slowly came out of hiding and took a closer look at Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard. Then they smiled and greeted them)*

Cheese: (Happily) Chao, chao!

*(Then an old woman-type Digimon walked up to Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard. She is a short, plump, zombie-like, old woman with baby blue skin, short gray hair tied in a Japanese-styled bun held by a yellow pin with a red head (With the bangs covering her eyes), long fingernails with purple nail polish, and wearing a lime green long-sleeved robe with wide sleeves, red and white triangular patterns, and a high neck collar, a yellow sleeveless tunic with red lining, a silver piano key-esque pattern, and purple and lavender triangular patterns, a pink beaded necklace, and brown shoes and sometimes carried a broom with a brown handle. She is Babamon, a typical old woodcarver)*

Babamon: Ah, three customers, greeted by my assistants, and me, Babamon.

*(She gestures to the objects)*

Babamon: Everything in this shop is half off.

Mr. Mallard: Are you the owner of this shop?

Babamon: Why, yes. I am a simple woodcarver.

Chip: Well, technically….

*(Rouge pinches Chip’s arm)*

Chip: Ouch!

*(Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard got confused and spoke to each other quietly)*

Elise: (Whispering) Why would the Wisps lead us here?

Gosalyn: (Whispering) I don’t know.

Mr. Mallard: (Whispering) But something tells me....

*(Then Babamon butted in politely)*

Babamon: See anything you like?

*(Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard turned to her and her assistants)*

Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard: Well….

*(They suddenly see a beautifully carved multicolored bow with a multicolored quiver full of colorful arrows. Interested in them, Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard nods to each other and Elise spoke up about them)*

Elise: We would like that bow and its quiver of arrows.

*(Calmly surprised by her choice, Babamon and her assistants looked at the bow and arrow-filled quiver and turned to Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard)*

Rouge: You want that?

Elise: Yes.

*(Then realizing something, Mr. Mallard slapped his palm on his face)*

Mr. Mallard: D’oh! We forgot money!

*(Suddenly, Gosalyn noticed a broomstick sweeping some dust on the floor by itself)*

Gosalyn: Look!

*(They look and Babamon and her assistants gasped that Cream quickly grabbed the broomstick, making it inanimate again. Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard turned to Babamon with amazement and interest)*

Gosalyn: That means….

Elise and Mr. Mallard: You’re a….

*(Then Babamon confessed)*

Babamon: Oh, alright. I may be a woodcarver, but I am a very talented witch.

*(Realizing, Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard then understood happily why they were lead to here by the Wisps)*

Gosalyn: Now we know why the Wisps lead us!

Elise: We were told the Wisps would lead travelers to fate!

Mr. Mallard: And I guess it did!

*(Babamon spoke up)*

Babamon: Really?

Amy: Why did the Wisps lead you here?

*(Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard looked at each other, and after giving a nod, they explained)*

Gosalyn: My friend here and her mother got in a fight.

Mr. Mallard: A falling out.

Elise: And she, well….

*(Realizing, Cosmo finished for them)*

Cosmo: You must’ve had a bow and arrows, but she destroyed them.

*(Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard nods)*

Kayla: But why would she destroy your bow?

Elise: My mother’s brother died four years ago and she wouldn’t let me accomplish my dream of being a knight princess of Camelot, so, I was….

*(Understanding, Babamon and her assistants nods to each other and Babamon spoke up)*

Babamon: Well, if you wanted advice, along with these bow and arrows, then….

*(Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard got surprised)*

Mr. Mallard: Wait a minute.

Elise: You’re letting me have the bow and arrows?

Babamon: Yes. On the house.

*(Glad to hear that, Elise, Gosalyn, and and Mr. Mallard accepted the bow and quiver of arrows)*

Babamon: And for the record, this bow and its quiver of arrows are magic.

Elise: (Interested) Really?

Babamon: Yes. Even the magic arrows are unlimited, meaning you can’t run out.

Gosalyn and Mr. Mallard: (Impressed) Well….

Gosalyn: Keen gear!

Mr. Mallard: Yep, yep, yep.

Elise: (Impressed) Thank you.

*(They turned to leave, but then they stopped in realization and turned to them again)*

Mr. Mallard: Actually, our friend here would also like to ask you a favor, you being a witch and all….

*(The assistants got calmly surprised)*

Tikal: A favor?

Chip: But…!

*(Babamon ushered them to be quiet and turned to Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard)*

Babamon: You want a spell?

Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard: Yes.

Babamon: (Happily) Okay!

*(They exit the cottage)*

Babamon: What spell would you like?

Elise: I would like a spell that will change my mother.

Gosalyn: So she would follow her fate to become a knight princess.

Mr. Mallard: And let us become fellow knights.

*(Babamon and her assistants got calmly surprised, but they shrugged and then Babamon snapped her fingers)*

Gosalyn: Why did you snap your fingers?

Babamon: You’ll see when we go in.

*(She opens the front door and the interior was revealed to have changed into a witch’s house interior by Babamon’s finger snapping, much to Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard’s amazement)*

Elise: So, basically, your assistants are…?

Amy: Yep!

Cosmo: Magical beings-in-training. We’re learning magic.

Blaze: (To Elise) Babamon took us under our wing because of our passion for using magic for good and not evil. *(To her assistant friends)* Right?

Chip: You betcha.

Mr. Mallard: But why did you looked surprised when she asked for a spell?

*(Then Babamon explained)*

Babamon: Well, the reason; Sixteen years ago, a mysterious man came to our cottage, asking for a spell to change his fate of having power. And just recently, some mysterious crazy people came here and bought a potion, claiming they want a power up of some kind.

Gosalyn: But why would those people want a power up?

Elise: Out of curiosity.

Babamon: They didn’t tell us. They just said “Secret mission.”

Chip: (Impatiently) Enough with the chattering and give them their spell!

*(They look at Chip in surprise, then Chip changed his tone)*

Chip: (Politely) Please.

*(Then they proceeded to gather ingredients for the cauldron so they can make something that would contain a spell for Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard to take to Luna)*

Babamon: This blast will be powerful. Look away

*(Then after Babamon spilled and mixed the ingredients into the cauldron quickly, the contents boiled powerfully and everyone turned away. Then a blast of light poofed out, startling Khan outside. Back inside, everyone turned to the cauldron and the gooey contents floated above the cauldron into a ball, which then shrunk down to a size of a tennis ball and then it magically shaped itself into a form of a tart-like cake. Then it floated down into Elise’s hands)*

Elise: So, the spell’s inside this tart-like cake?

Babamon: Yes.

*(Then she asked away in suspicion)*

Babamon: But are you sure you want to give this to your mom?

Elise: Yes.

Mr. Mallard: And are *you* sure this will change her, which in turn, will change our fate, *(Gestures to Elise)* mostly hers?

Babamon: Yes.

Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard: Done.

*(Then Elise took the magic bow and magic arrows and she, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard left the cottage, taking Khan with and leaving the front door open. Then Babamon and her assistants realize something)*

Babamon and assistants: Oh, wait!

*(Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard turned)*

Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard: What…?

*(But they noticed they are transported back to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest, where they followed the Wisps earlier. Babamon’s cottage gone. Then the three shrugged and after they climbed on Khan, they ride off back to the apartment’s direction, hoping their magic tart-like cake will change Luna)*

***Coming up: Elise, Gosalyn, and Mr. Mallard, with their friends’ help, trick Luna into eating a piece of the magic tart-like cake, which results Luna’s change in a beastly way. Then with Richard and Megara’s help. Elise and her friends attempt to sneak Luna out when they get captured by a certain group of villains that killed Hercules six years ago with their army and an evil plot for conquest, only during the villains’ power-up, Elise's group and Luna escape secretly and learn something more involving Excalibur’s disappearance from the villains.***
