Description
Mei and Sam kicks off the grand opening of the Disney Studios by hosting a cooking show. Meanwhile, Rainbow Sparkle gets grounded from her failures.

Mirabel: Sparks of fire! Explosions of annihilation! [laughs evilly, coughs] We're finally steps away from our plan of total takedown! But we just need one more thing.
Rainbow Sparkle: [gasps] Oh! Where'd you get...? I, uh... I can explain!
Mirabel: It's good I found your photo because it brought my attention to something big. Their personality profiles. That is the evolved magic that's powering their silly pris-beam! That's our ticket into taking over! If we can steal their personality profiles, then we're not just powerful; we're all-powerful! [laughs evilly, coughs] But I'm getting ahead of myself. First, I need to find a way to boost my power. Then, I'll cast a transformation spell to capture those personality profiles! Then...! [coughs] ...I'll book a throat detox. And after that, well, as they say, "The rest is history."
Rainbow Sparkle: But do we have to steal their personality profiles? They're actually kind of nice.
Mirabel: Nice?! Don't tell me you really were having fun with those freaks!
Rainbow Sparkle: No! Not at all! I'm still just as bad as I've always been! When we were together, they complimented me on my hair, and I did not compliment them back! Hah!
Mirabel: Well, good. Because now that we have the dragonfire, there's no going back.
Rainbow Sparkle: Oh, uh, well, that's the other thing I wanted to tell you. Um, I kind of, um, maybe, uh, didn't get it. Again.
[long pause]
Rainbow Sparkle: Wow. You're taking this surprisingly well.
Mirabel: TAKING IT WELL?!? I WAS BUILDING UP MY BREATH TO YELL AT YOU!!! YOU...!!! [coughing] See what you've done to me? Ugh! This is a failure worthy of my worst punishment yet.
Rainbow Sparkle: [gulps]
[theme song]
Mirabel: And not only do I not have the dragonfire, but I wasted all my magic showing off my cool plan?! [sighs] I'll just have to wait for my power to replenish. Need a little refresher on why this is so important, huh? When I was growing up in the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World in Space Mountain, they were the "golden ones". The favorites. (referring to Sunlight and Starlight) Everyone loved them, but I saw right through their act. They thought they were so great 'cause they had the whole "sun and moon" thing going. Please! I had something much better. I was a rocketship of power! Of strength! And because of that, I had to prove I was not to be underestimated! They'd learn I was not only the wrong one to push around, but I would be so much more! I would live up to my elemental duty!
Rainbow Sparkle: And you will. I'm sorry I failed you, I promise I won't ever do that again.
Mirabel: Oh, I know. Because you won't have a chance to. I'm using my last bit of magic to make sure you really think about your failure. From this moment on, consider yourself locked in you room.
Rainbow Sparkle: [screaming, panting]
Mirabel: Ah, how lovely. I've been dying to get out of the lair.
Sam: [amplified through microphone] Thanks, everybody! Big day in Dallas Texas. A day we'll remember forever. A day where we all come together. A day where we all say—
Pegasus: The same thing we said the last time we had a grand opening. Hey, Sam! Can we wrap it up? Or... [laughs] ...cut it up?
Sam: [amplified through microphone, speaking quickly] And for the first time in this building's history, this will be a place for everybody! Welcome to the Disney Studios! [breathes in] Okay, I'm done. Whew!
[crowd cheering]
Sam: Wait, where are they going? I just said this is for everybody.
Pegatrix: Maybe inspiration doesn't come that quickly.
Pegasus: Maybe there was something confusing about your messaging?
Calina: Oh, oh! Maybe they realized they left their ovens on at home!
Pegasus: All of them?
Calina: You're right, too far-fetched. It was probably their microwave ovens.
Mei Lee: Or maybe they just need an example of how to use the studio first. Oh! We should get a show up and running to show the possibilities!
Pegatrix: [squeals] That's a great idea, Mei! I see my two stars now. You and Hitch will be the co-hosts of a smoothie-making cooking show!
Mei Lee: Whaaat? Uh, no, thanks. I-I didn't mean me.
Pegatrix: Hmm. Actually, we need a show title first.
Mei Lee: Thank you. I was hoping we could brainstorm it up—
Pegatrix: Yes, I've got it! The show will be called... "Happy Side" featuring Sam! Just two lifelong besties sharing their recipes for yummy food and happiness! [squeals] I am loving this concept!
Sam: I'm not really an "in the spotlight"—
[whoosh!]
Calina: [groans]
Sam: Whoa, that was fast.
[bright music]
Pegatrix: Nervous?
Sam: Extremely.
Mei Lee: Not really.
Pegatrix: Don't be! I'll teach you everything you need to know. How to smile, how to stand, how to sit and "smize" when you can't stand or smile.
Sam: "Smize"?
Pegatrix: Smiling with your eyes! You try!
Sam: [groaning]
Pegatrix: Oh... Or maybe just try to work on standing still. Then you won't look nervous.
Mei Lee: [giggles] Me? Nervous? I'm a smoothie-making master! This is easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Sam: Ah!
[squish]
Sam: Sorry. Maybe that's a sign Mei should just host the show by herself. I mean, remember how bad it was when I ran the cart? And that was without anybody watching on TV.
Mei Lee: Oh, psshhh. You'll be great, Sam. Just pretend you're giving a speech and follow my lead.
Sam: Uh... [nervous chuckle]
[clattering]
Sam: [gasps, grunting] Aah! Ow.
Rainbow Sparkle: [grunting] "Worst punishment yet." This is nothing. I'll get out of this! [grunting, gasps] Oh... [straining, sighs] If only I had my personality profile, I could use magic. Right? [grunting]
[soft music]
Rainbow Sparkle: [laughs] Well, better than nothing! [grunting]
Mirabel: [panting] Oh! I must be getting close. [grunts] Ugh! All that sitting around and scheming in the castle has got me out of shape. [laughs] I really must have her set up a home gym. Hmmm. [sighs] No dragonfire yet? No problem. For now, I'll just find the one item that will harness its powers even better. Sure, this plan has a high chance of wiping out all of the magic in the world forever, but, as the girls say today, not my problem! [laughs]
Rainbow Sparkle: [sighs, grunting] Ah! [sighs, giggles] She thinks she's so powerful and magical! But she's no match for my hands!
[loud screech]
Rainbow Sparkle: (gasps)
[mouse squeaking]
Rainbow Sparkle: [sighs] And speaking of magic, let's see what those kids are up to...
[phone beeps]
[rhythmic music]
Pegatrix: Three, two, one.
[clapperboard claps]
Calina: [giggles]
Pegatrix: And... we're live!
[pop music]
Sam: [gulps]
Mei Lee: Welcome to the Happy Side! I'm Mei Lee, and this is Sam, coming to you live from the Disney Studios. And we're gonna tell you what's up with making delicious food from home! Isn't that right, Sam?
Sam: [babbling]
Mei Lee: Uh, yeah... You said it. Today, we are going to be making Pear-nana Pie! [hushed] Remember what we talked about Sam. Just follow me.
[clattering]
Mei Lee: First, we're gonna grab as many chopped pear-nanas you believe are going to delight your morning!
Sam: Wait, is that one handful or two? The recipe says—
Mei Lee: Then, add enough brown sugar to your heart's desire!
Sam: Wait, how much is that?
Mei Lee: Then bring in a secret ingredient with your eyes closed so it's a surprise, especially to you!
Sam: Whaaaaat?
Mei Lee: Now, chop up your favorite fruit!
Sam: Mei, slow down! Ah! Girl, stop closing your eyes while you're cooking!
[clattering]
Sam: Mei, watch out! Aah! Oof!
[splat!]
Sam: [gasps]
Pegasus: [gasps]
Pegatrix: [gasps]
Calina: Whoa.
Mei Lee: Sam! That pear-nana juice went right into my eye!
Sam: Aw, Mei, I'm so sorry—eeee!
Mei Lee: [yelps]
[thud]
Pegatrix: [gasps] Guys! Get it together!
[hearts popping]
Pegatrix: Oh!
Mei Lee and Sam: [grunting]
Pegatrix: Keep up the great stuff!
Mei Lee: [groans] Uh... [nervous chuckle] That's okay! Um, falling is a part of the recipe! [giggles]
Sam: Wah!
[splat!]
Sam: [groans]
Mei Lee: [laughs]
Sam: Hmmm...
Mei Lee: You wouldn't dare! [screaming]
Mei Lee and Sam: [laughing]
[hearts popping]
[playful music]
Mei Lee and Sam: [grunting and laughing]
Mei Lee: [yelps]
[slam!]
Pegatrix and Calina: [laugh]
Rainbow Sparkle: [laughing, gasps] If they're there, then that means they aren't paying attention to Drago, and I can grab the dragonfire after all! And then Mirabel won't doubt my loyalty! Just in case I'm spotted! [laughs] Ooh, this is gonna be great! Oh!
[energy hums]
Rainbow Sparkle: [babbles, groans] Or... it couldn't possibly be that easy.
Mirabel: [gasps] Dragonstone! Just as I remembered. And the magic's return has begun to activate it, just as I hoped! Once I add dragonfire to it, it will be unstoppable. And so will I. [laughs evilly]
Mei Lee: [groans]
Drago: [giggles, chomps]
Calina: [humming] Oh! Found some floor food? Yum!
Sam: Drago, don't eat food off the floor!
Calina: Awww...
Drago: [whimpers]
Pegatrix: [deep gasp] We're losing them! Let's mix it up! Now do a recipe with these bags of mystery ingredients! Oh, oh! And the winner becomes cooking royalty!
Sam: Oof!
Pegatrix: Hmm. Or maybe... Oh! Maybe Mei instructs Sam blindly as he cooks! Ooh, I like it!
[smack!]
Sam: Huh? Um...
Mei Lee: What? I really don't think this is a good idea.
Sam: Well, I'm really starting to get a hang of this whole hosting thing, and I think it's a great idea! But if you wanna sit this one out, Sunny, I'm happy to host solo.
Mei Lee: But the show is called "Happy Side".
Pegatrix: And pretty soon it'll be called "It's Over"! Guys, we gotta recapture the magic and do it fast!
[thud]
Sam: Ow.
Pegatrix: Ugh!
Rainbow Sparkle: [sighs]
Mei Lee: Welcome back to "The Happy Side", where my co-chef Sam will be baking cinnamon raisin cookies! He'll be cooking blindly while I... instruct him? You know what? I can't.
Sam: Mei, what are you doing?
Mei Lee: I'll tell what we're not doing – a cooking show! Look at this place. Look at us. How did we become such a mess? Ever since we just started trying to follow likes, I totally lost track of what's most important. You wanna know what I love about being a chef? What I thought this show would be about? It's a way to let loose and break free of expectations! Cooking is great to get you out of a rut. Like if you've lost your way. Or if you're stuck. Especially if the reason that you're stuck is because somebody's keeping you there against your will and pushing you to do something you don't think is right.
Pegatrix: [weak chuckle]
Mei Lee: Okay, maybe that was a little overdramatic. But if you are going through something like that, well, cooking is a great way for you to reclaim your power. Quit doing things you don't want to do just to make everybody else happy, and simply be yourself! So, to everybody watching, it's time to start believing in yourself. And every dish, dessert, or other. Delight you make, no matter if you followed the recipe or improvised your own, has the power to be delicious and unique. Just like you. [slurps]
Sam: Mei, wait! No!
Mei Lee: [gagging, coughing] Oh, my...! Except when it's a cup full of sour ingredients your co-host threw at you earlier! Blech!
Sam: [laughs]
Rainbow Sparkle: She... She's right. The reason I've been failing my missions for Mirabel lately is because I... I don't want to succeed. I... I don't want to take away their power. I focus so much on trying to please her, to try and follow her every order, that I never once asked myself what I wanted. I never once... thought to believe in myself. I've got to find a way out of this!
[mysterious music]
Mirabel: Ugh!
[boom!]
Mirabel: Ugh, this hike is atrocious! [gasps] Why does every magical thing have to be precariously perched on a hill with stuff in the way?! Ugh!
[boom!]
Mirabel: [panting] Ugh. Here's an idea! Bury your magic things within reach!
Rainbow Sparkle: Mirabel has been lying to me from the moment she found and adopted me! I knew something was off when I discovered humans didn't have laser eyes!
[clattering]
Rainbow Sparkle: All they've ever treated me with is kindness. The kindness I deserve.
[soft music]
Rainbow Sparkle: But is this really the right move, Madame? This is the only life I've ever known. But maybe that's even more reason to go outside and experience more of it.
Pegatrix: And that's a cut to commercial!
Pegasus: [laughs] And maybe when we're back, can we actually have you guys make some food?
Mei Lee: Sam, I think we really need to talk. All I wanted was to be a great chef and an inspiration. But everything just got out of control. When I made that big speech about needing to be myself, it made me realize that you need to be yourself, too. You were so nervous, and instead of encouraging you to do things your own way, I let us both get caught up in all this chaos. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?
Sam: Mei, I'm shocked.
Mei Lee: Listen, I already said sorry. You don't have to rub it in.
Sam: No, no. "Forgive you"?, this has been an awesome day! Sure, I didn't actually learn how to cook from "the master", and I'm pretty sure nobody at home did, either.
Mei Lee: [giggles]
Sam: But I had a great time! It actually reminded me of how we used to play as kids in Grandma Muriel's kitchen. Our food fights were epic, remember?
Mei Lee: How could I forget?
Mei Lee and Sam: [laugh]
Sam: And besides, you are a great chef and an inspiration. You certainly inspired me to get over my stage fright. The food fight helped with that, too. Maybe if we met in the middle, we'd create a show we both wanted to make?
Mei Lee: One that celebrates both of our strengths!
Mirabel: [straining and groaning] But, are you sure? Do you really want to seize the most powerful crystal in all of the world for your own selfishness? [cackles] Oh, that was a good one! Why am I so funny when nobody's around? [gasps, screams] Magic, seize it! [groans] Ugh! I'll be back.
Rainbow Sparkle: And another thing! Other sorceries aren't trying to trick me! Though there was that one time where Calina blindfolded me and forced me to hit a weird thing called a "pye-nya-tah". [sighs] Oh, I'm so confused! Okay, think. Let's focus on the facts. Mirabel's lied to me, and I still don't have a personality. Maybe I never will. Okay, then! It's settled! I'm finally leaving her for good! Now I just gotta figure out how...
Pegasus: Three... two... one...
[clapperboard claps]
Pegasus: And we're back!
Mei Lee: Welcome back to "The Happy Side"! I'm Mei Lee!
Sam: And I'm Sam!
Mei Lee: And we're finally gonna tell you what's up with today's Pear-nana pie recipe. Now, before, I mentioned grabbing as many chopped pear-nanas as you believe will delight your morning. But to be more specific, that's about a cup and a half.
Sam: And before, I started slinging fruit when I got frustrated, when really I should've been more patient and clear with my follow-up questions.
[hearts popping slowly]
Pegatrix: Guys! Our viewership is plummeting! You two getting along is not compelling television! What should we do?
Pegasus: Nothing at all, sis. This is the real "Happy Side". Sure, the numbers aren't as high as when they were hurling whipped cream at each other.
Calina: [with mouth full] But it's sweeter! [gasps] Simpler!
Pegatrix: The way it should've been from the very beginning.
Sam: [slurping, with mouth full] Mm! This is delicious!
Mei Lee: Thanks so much for tuning in, everybody! But before we go, we wanna say something.
Sam: This will be our first and last "Happy Side" broadcast. Thank you all for tuning in today. The ups, the downs...
Mei Lee: The pear-nana pie that we'll be cleaning up for weeks!
Mei Lee and Sam: [laugh]
Sam: But we hope it inspired everybody to come on down to Disney Studios and join in on the fun!
Mei Lee: [munch]
Pegasus: And cut!
Calina: That was brilliant!
Pegasus: That was actually very educational!
Pegatrix: That was... a great save! Now, are you sure you don't wanna do an encore? I've already got a-ma-zing ideas for merch! Oh! Maybe we tie-dye shirts to look like they're stained with pear-nanas?
Calina: Whoa, whoa! Hold everything! Everybody in Dallas, Texas just signed up! [gasps] Looks like the studio is now fully booked for the next six months!
Pegasus: Mm, probably for the best. You two wouldn't be able to top that episode, anyway.
Rainbow Sparkle: From this moment on, I make my own choices! From this moment on, I make my own friends! From this moment on, I—!
Mirabel: [coughing, clearing throat]
Rainbow Sparkle: Make sure she doesn't find out I just said all that! [grunts]
Mirabel: [clears throat, laughs evilly, coughs] Come on! My cackle used to be my greatest quality. Heh. That's a lie. Every quality is my greatest quality. Misty. Something's different. I've somehow become more enchanting in the last twelve hours!
Rainbow Sparkle: [sighs]
Mirabel: I hope you've thought hard about your failure while I was gone.
Rainbow Sparkle: I have! And I will! I mean, I won't fail you again!
Mirabel: Okay, okay, easy. You don't have to spit on me while you grovel. Rainbow, dear, I hope you know that I'm so hard on you because I believe in you. I see so much of the young girl I once was. Strong. Determined. Destined for greatness. But that doesn't come easy. You understand, right?
Rainbow Sparkle: I do.
Mirabel: Good.
[whoosh]
Rainbow Sparkle: Whoo! [laughs] Oh, thank you! I am now free! Oh, it is great to be free!
Mirabel: And I've been busy as well. Very busy. I've located it.
Rainbow Sparkle: It's beautiful.
Mirabel: It's immaculate! But also, terribly stuck. Get plenty of rest tonight because, in the morning, we run. But, before we get started with all that...
Rainbow Sparkle: Anything you need!
Mirabel: ...mind telling me what that is?
[dramatic music]
Rainbow Sparkle: [gasps] Uh oh!

Sam: Ow.
Pegatrix: Ugh!
Rainbow Sparkle: [sighs]
Mei Lee: Welcome back to "The Happy Side", where my co-chef Sam will be baking cinnamon raisin cookies! He'll be cooking blindly while I... instruct him? You know what? I can't.
Sam: Mei, what are you doing?
Mei Lee: I'll tell what we're not doing – a cooking show! Look at this place. Look at us. How did we become such a mess? Ever since we just started trying to follow likes, I totally lost track of what's most important. You wanna know what I love about being a chef? What I thought this show would be about? It's a way to let loose and break free of expectations! Cooking is great to get you out of a rut. Like if you've lost your way. Or if you're stuck. Especially if the reason that you're stuck is because somebody's keeping you there against your will and pushing you to do something you don't think is right.
Pegatrix: [weak chuckle]
Mei Lee: Okay, maybe that was a little overdramatic. But if you are going through something like that, well, cooking is a great way for you to reclaim your power. Quit doing things you don't want to do just to make everybody else happy, and simply be yourself! So, to everybody watching, it's time to start believing in yourself. And every dish, dessert, or other. Delight you make, no matter if you followed the recipe or improvised your own, has the power to be delicious and unique. Just like you. [slurps]
Sam: Mei, wait! No!
Mei Lee: [gagging, coughing] Oh, my...! Except when it's a cup full of sour ingredients your co-host threw at you earlier! Blech!
Sam: [laughs]
Rainbow Sparkle: She... She's right. The reason I've been failing my missions for Mirabel lately is because I... I don't want to succeed. I... I don't want to take away their power. I focus so much on trying to please her, to try and follow her every order, that I never once asked myself what I wanted. I never once... thought to believe in myself. I've got to find a way out of this!
[mysterious music]
Mirabel: Ugh!
[boom!]
Mirabel: Ugh, this hike is atrocious! [gasps] Why does every magical thing have to be precariously perched on a hill with stuff in the way?! Ugh!
[boom!]
Mirabel: [panting] Ugh. Here's an idea! Bury your magic things within reach!
Rainbow Sparkle: Mirabel has been lying to me from the moment she found and adopted me! I knew something was off when I discovered humans didn't have laser eyes!
[clattering]
Rainbow Sparkle: All they've ever treated me with is kindness. The kindness I deserve.
[soft music]
Rainbow Sparkle: But is this really the right move, Madame? This is the only life I've ever known. But maybe that's even more reason to go outside and experience more of it.
Pegatrix: And that's a cut to commercial!
Pegasus: [laughs] And maybe when we're back, can we actually have you guys make some food?
Mei Lee: Sam, I think we really need to talk. All I wanted was to be a great chef and an inspiration. But everything just got out of control. When I made that big speech about needing to be myself, it made me realize that you need to be yourself, too. You were so nervous, and instead of encouraging you to do things your own way, I let us both get caught up in all this chaos. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?
Sam: Mei, I'm shocked.
Mei Lee: Listen, I already said sorry. You don't have to rub it in.
Sam: No, no. "Forgive you"?, this has been an awesome day! Sure, I didn't actually learn how to cook from "the master", and I'm pretty sure nobody at home did, either.
Mei Lee: [giggles]
Sam: But I had a great time! It actually reminded me of how we used to play as kids in Grandma Muriel's kitchen. Our food fights were epic, remember?
Mei Lee: How could I forget?
Mei Lee and Sam: [laugh]
Sam: And besides, you are a great chef and an inspiration. You certainly inspired me to get over my stage fright. The food fight helped with that, too. Maybe if we met in the middle, we'd create a show we both wanted to make?
Mei Lee: One that celebrates both of our strengths!
Mirabel: [straining and groaning] But, are you sure? Do you really want to seize the most powerful crystal in all of the world for your own selfishness? [cackles] Oh, that was a good one! Why am I so funny when nobody's around? [gasps, screams] Magic, seize it! [groans] Ugh! I'll be back.
Rainbow Sparkle: And another thing! Other sorceries aren't trying to trick me! Though there was that one time where Calina blindfolded me and forced me to hit a weird thing called a "pye-nya-tah". [sighs] Oh, I'm so confused! Okay, think. Let's focus on the facts. Mirabel's lied to me, and I still don't have a personality. Maybe I never will. Okay, then! It's settled! I'm finally leaving her for good! Now I just gotta figure out how...
Pegasus: Three... two... one...
[clapperboard claps]
Pegasus: And we're back!
Mei Lee: Welcome back to "The Happy Side"! I'm Mei Lee!
Sam: And I'm Sam!
Mei Lee: And we're finally gonna tell you what's up with today's Pear-nana pie recipe. Now, before, I mentioned grabbing as many chopped pear-nanas as you believe will delight your morning. But to be more specific, that's about a cup and a half.
Sam: And before, I started slinging fruit when I got frustrated, when really I should've been more patient and clear with my follow-up questions.
[hearts popping slowly]
Pegatrix: Guys! Our viewership is plummeting! You two getting along is not compelling television! What should we do?
Pegasus: Nothing at all, sis. This is the real "Happy Side". Sure, the numbers aren't as high as when they were hurling whipped cream at each other.
Calina: [with mouth full] But it's sweeter! [gasps] Simpler!
Pegatrix: The way it should've been from the very beginning.
Sam: [slurping, with mouth full] Mm! This is delicious!
Mei Lee: Thanks so much for tuning in, everybody! But before we go, we wanna say something.
Sam: This will be our first and last "Happy Side" broadcast. Thank you all for tuning in today. The ups, the downs...
Mei Lee: The pear-nana pie that we'll be cleaning up for weeks!
Mei Lee and Sam: [laugh]
Sam: But we hope it inspired everybody to come on down to Disney Studios and join in on the fun!
Mei Lee: [munch]
Pegasus: And cut!
Calina: That was brilliant!
Pegasus: That was actually very educational!
Pegatrix: That was... a great save! Now, are you sure you don't wanna do an encore? I've already got a-ma-zing ideas for merch! Oh! Maybe we tie-dye shirts to look like they're stained with pear-nanas?
Calina: Whoa, whoa! Hold everything! Everybody in Dallas, Texas just signed up! [gasps] Looks like the studio is now fully booked for the next six months!
Pegasus: Mm, probably for the best. You two wouldn't be able to top that episode, anyway.
Rainbow Sparkle: From this moment on, I make my own choices! From this moment on, I make my own friends! From this moment on, I—!
Mirabel: [coughing, clearing throat]
Rainbow Sparkle: Make sure she doesn't find out I just said all that! [grunts]
Mirabel: [clears throat, laughs evilly, coughs] Come on! My cackle used to be my greatest quality. Heh. That's a lie. Every quality is my greatest quality. Misty. Something's different. I've somehow become more enchanting in the last twelve hours!
Rainbow Sparkle: [sighs]
Mirabel: I hope you've thought hard about your failure while I was gone.
Rainbow Sparkle: I have! And I will! I mean, I won't fail you again!
Mirabel: Okay, okay, easy. You don't have to spit on me while you grovel. Rainbow, dear, I hope you know that I'm so hard on you because I believe in you. I see so much of the young girl I once was. Strong. Determined. Destined for greatness. But that doesn't come easy. You understand, right?
Rainbow Sparkle: I do.
Mirabel: Good.
[whoosh]
Rainbow Sparkle: Whoo! [laughs] Oh, thank you! I am now free! Oh, it is great to be free!
Mirabel: And I've been busy as well. Very busy. I've located it.
Rainbow Sparkle: It's beautiful.
Mirabel: It's immaculate! But also, terribly stuck. Get plenty of rest tonight because, in the morning, we run. But, before we get started with all that...
Rainbow Sparkle: Anything you need!
Mirabel: ...mind telling me what that is?
[dramatic music]
Rainbow Sparkle: [gasps] Uh oh!
