The Storybook
Martin- Many sad and lonely years passed by for King Stefan and his people. But as the time for the princesses sixteenth birthday drew near, the entire kingdom began to rejoice. For everyone knew that as long as Maleficent's domain, the forbidden mountains, thundered with her wrath and frustration, her evil prophecy had not yet been fulfilled.
Inside Silver's castle.
Silver- It's incredible, sixteen years and not a trace of her! She couldn't have vanished into thin air. Are you sure you searched everywhere?
Kane- (Never expected that, did you?) yeah, yeah, anywhere, we all ...
Koichi- (this is for trying to hurt Sasuke) yeah, yeah!
Silver- But what about the town, the forests, the mountains?
Kane- We searched mountains, forests, and houses, and let me see, in all the cradles.
Silver- Cradle?
Kane- Yeah, yeah, every cradle.
Silver- *angry*Cradle? *to Kane's Murkrow* Did you hear that my pet? All these years, they've been looking for a baby! *laughing* oh, oh, ha, ha, ha ...
Kane and Koichi- *join laughter* ha, ha, ha ...
Silver- *abruptly stops laughing and is angry* Fools! Idiots! Imbeciles! *drives Koichi and Kane away and alone with the Murkrow again* Oh, they're hopeless. A disgrace to the forces of evil. *talking to the raven* My pet, you are my last hope. Circle far and wide, search for a maid of sixteen with hair of sunshine gold and lips red as the rose. Go, and do not fail me. *Murkrow flies away*
Martin- And so for sixteen long years the whereabouts of the princess remained a mystery, while deep in the forest, in a woodcutter's cottage, the good fairies carried out their well-laid plan. Living like mortals, they had reared the child as their own and called her Briar Rose.
Jade appears, humming some tune
Martin- On this her sixteenth birthday the good fairies had planned a party and something extra special for her surprise.
The fairies sit over a book of dresses
Yin-How about this one? =I love dress picking=
Matt- This is the one I picked. =This is actually fun!=
Ra- Oh she'll look beautiful in it. =I hate this=
Matt- Now I thought a few changes here ...
Yin- Aha
Ra- Don't forget a pretty bow ...
Matt- And there's the shoulder line.
Yin- We'll make it blue.
Matt- Oh no, dear, pink.
Yin- But ...
Matt- Of course, we'll need a few pleats
Ra- Yes, but how are we going to get her out of the house?
Matt- Oh, I'll think of something.
Jade comes down the stairs and finds the fairies
Jade- Well, and what are you three dears up to?
Yin- Up to?
Ra- Up to?
Matt- Up to?
Matt- eh, eh, eh, we, we, well, we, we ...
Yin- Want you to pick some berries.
Matt- That's it, berries!
Jade- Berries?
Ra- Lots of berries.
Jade- But I picked berries yesterday.
Matt- Oh, we need more, dear.
Ra- Lots, lots more.
Matt- Yes!
The fairies push Jade out of the house
Matt-Now don't hurry back, dear.
Yin- And don't go to far.
Matt- And don't speak to strangers.
Ra- Goodbye, dear!
Yin- Goodbye!
Matt- Goodbye!
Jade- Goodbye!
The fairies close the door and get back inside
Yin- I wonder if she suspects.
Matt- Of course not, come on. Will she be surprised!
Yin-A real birthday party.
Ra- With a real birthday cake.
Matt- Yes, and a dress a princess can be proud of.
Yin- I'll get the wands.
Matt- Yes, you ... the wands?
Ra- Oh no.
Matt- No magic!
Yin- But the sixteen years are almost over.
Matt- We're taking no chances.
Yin- But, I never baked a fancy cake. =I never did actually=
Matt- Oh, you won't have to, dear. =I hate saying dear so much=
Ra- I'm going to bake the cake. =Yes!=
Yin- You?
Matt- She's always wanted to, dear, and this is her last chance.
Yin- Well, ...
Ra- I'm going to make it fifteen layers with pink and blue, forgive-me-nots ...
Matt- And i'm making the dress. =I can't believe it=
Yin- But you can't sow, and she's never cooked!
Matt- Oh, it's simple. =No its not=
Ra- All you do is follow the book. =Like I am!=
Matt directs Yin to stand on a chair
Matt- Up here dear, you can be the dummy. =I always wanted to say that!=
Yin- Well, I still say we ought to use magic. =He's gonna get seriously hurt later=
Matt throws a sheet of pink cloth above Yin and begins cutting with a pair of scissors. Ra has laid all the ingredients for the cake before her.
Ra- *reads from the book* Flour,
three cups *searching* Cups, cups, cups, cups, cups ...
*finds
three cups of different sizes and uses them to pour flour into the
bowl* One, two, three.
Matt has cut a circular hole into the sheet
Yin- What's that for?
Matt- Well, it's got to have a hole in the bottom.
Ra- That's for the feet to go through.
Yin- It's pink!
Matt- Oh, lovely shade, isn't it.
Yin- But I wanted it blue.
Matt- Now, dear, we decided pink was her color.
Yin- Now, dear, we decided pink was her color.
Ra- *still reads from the book* Two eggs, fold in gently Fold? Oh well.
Ra puts two eggs into the bowl and starts to fold them in. We hear their shells cracking. Yin is completely hulled into the pink cloth.
Yin- I can't breathe!
Matt cuts the cloth open at the top. Yin takes a look at the dress from the inside
Yin- It looks awful.
Matt- That's because it's on you, dear.
Ra- *at his cake* Now yeast, one tsp. tsp?
Yin- One teaspoon!
Ra- One teaspoon, of course.
Matt measures some size of the dress
Matt- Oh gracious how the child has grown.
Yin- Oh, it seems only yesterday we brought her here.
Ra- Just a tiny baby.
Yin- *loses a tear*
Matt- Why Merryweather!
Ra-Whatever's the matter, dear?
Yin- After the day she'll be a princess, and we won't have any Briar Rose.
Ra- Oh Flora!
Matt- We all knew this day had to come.
Ra- But why did it have to come so soon?
Matt- After all, we've had her for sixteen years.
Yin- Sixteen wonderful years.
Matt- Good gracious, We're acting like a lot of ninnies! Come on, she'll be back before we get started.
With Jade…
Jade- *walking through the forest. she starts to sing. Birds answer her singing and wake other animals, like chipmunks, rabbits and one owl. They all come listening*
Zack- *to his Ponyta* Hear that, Samson? Beautiful! What is it? Come on, let's find out. *turns his horse around, but it struggles back* Oh, come on! For an extra bucket of oats, and a few carrots? *Ponyta nods with his head* Hop boy!
They ride of towards the singing. While Samson jumps over a log, Phillip gets caught in a tree and falls off
Zack- Ohhh! *is heard splashing into the water. Samson holds and looks at him. Zack sprinkles some water at Samson* No carrots!
Jade-
I wonder,
I wonder,
I wonder
why each little bird
Has a someone to sing to
Sweet things to
A
gay little love melody.
I wonder,
I wonder,
If my heart
keeps singing
Will my song go wing-ing
To someone
Who'll
find me
And bring back a love song
To me!
Jade- *speaking more to herself than to the birds, but they listen and answer her* Oh dear, why do they still treat me like a child.
Noctowl- Who?
Jade- Why, Flora and Fauna and Merryweather. They never want me to meet anyone. *to the animals* But you know something? I fooled 'em. I have met someone!
Noctowl- Who? Who? Who? *the Pokemon get more and more excited as she tells the story*
Jade- Oh, a prince. Well, he's tall and handsome and ... and so romantic. Oh we walked together, and talked together, and just before we say goodbye, he takes me in his arms, and then ... I wake up. *the animals sink their heads*
Jade- Yes, it's only in my dreams. But they say if you dream a thing more than once, It's sure to come true. And I've seen him so many times!
A Pachirusu sees the prince's wet clothes hanging in a tree. He and the other animals put their heads together, make a plan and get over to that tree
Zack- You know Samson, There was something strange about that voice. Too beautiful to be real. Maybe it was a mysterious being, a wood sprite ... *Samson sees the Pokemon running off with the clothes and neighs* There, stop!
