A.N. Back to the old grind! Sorry for the wait, BTW. Also: I may have returned the library copy of the script, BUT I took pictures of the pages I missed! By the way, I am INCREDIBLY sorry for the long wait! Procrastination got the better of me...
DISCLAIMER: DISNEY FAIRIES AND MADELINE'S CHRISTMAS DO NOT BELONG TO ME! And for those of you who did not read the previous version, MileWideSmile DID give me permission to use Fizzy!
The lights go down on Tinker Bell and Lyria, and come back up on the sleeping girls.
Vidia sits up, rubs her eyes, looks around, and turns to Silvermist.
Vidia: Pst...Isabelle...Isabelle! Are you asleep?
Sil rolls over groggily but sits up as well.
Silvermist: Not anymore...
She yawns.
Sii: ...are you?
Vidia rolls her eyes.
Vidia: Yes, I just spontaneously decided to start talking in my sleep!
Silvermist, who is fully awake now, turns to the fast-flyer with astonishment in her eyes.
Silvermist: Really?! That's amazing!
Vidia groans and facepalms.
Vidia: No, Isabelle, I was being SARCASTIC. Of course I'm awake! But that's beside the point. Is anyone else up?
She looks over the rest of the girls...and then Rosetta, Sweet Pea, and Spike sit up.
Rosetta: Moi.
She suddenly gasps in excitement as she realizes something.
Rosetta: My flu...it's vanished! I'm healthy again!
Sweet Pea: Healthy!
Spike: Incredible, I'm not sneezing!
As they start talking, the others start waking up too.
Periwinkle: It's about time! I was starting to think that we'd NEVER get better!
Gliss wakes up.
Gliss: What'd I miss? What's happening?
She turns to Fawn and shakes her awake.
Fawn: YES, I WANT TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF ICE CREAM LAND!
Outright laughter from the girls and the audience.
Fawn blushes and rubs the back of her neck.
Fawn: Oh...hey.
She greets her friends.
Iridessa: What time is it? I don't think it's morning...
Fizzy: It's DEFINITELY not morning yet, so it's not Christmas.
Zarina: So that means it's still Christmas Eve.
Vidia nods.
Vidia: Yep.
She stands up and looks around at her friends.
Vidia: Let's clear one thing up: Is ANYONE here still feeling ill?
A pause as they all gauge how they're feeling.
They all gasp, get up, and start jumping up and down in excitement.
Girls: No! We are well!
Gliss: We're all better!
Fawn: Hooray!
Rosetta: I feel great!
They start cheering over each other and hugging. before Silvermist gets a mischievous look on her face.
Sil: Hey Regine...?
She calls in a sing-song voice.
Vidia: What is it?
Sil: CATCH!
She throws her pillow at Vidia, who swiftly dodges.
The fast flyer grins.
Vidia: Oh, it's ON!
Zarina brandishes her pillow in the air.
Zarina: PILLOW FIIIIIIGHT!
Each girl grabs her pillow and starts whacking whoever is close to them.
As time goes on, Vidia chases Silvermist around, Gliss and Spike are in a stalemate, Fawn just runs up and down the choir stand dealing rapid-fire blows, and Fizzy goes from one fairy to the next hitting whoever she can.
Finally, Vidia looks down and notices something.
She gasps.
Vidia: Guys? GUYS!
The others are still involved in the pillow fight, so the fast-flyer puts her fingers to her mouth and does a loud whistle.
The girls drop their pillows and cover their ears.
Once the whistle dies down, the girls lower their hands and shoot a dirty look at the perpetrator.
Fizzy: Hey, what gives Regine?
Silvermist: Yeah, we were having fun!
Vidia throws her hands up in exasperation, and gestures to the floor by their blankets and pillows.
Vidia: Look around! Don't you notice anything different? There's rugs!
The girls look down and gasp at the sight,
Sweet Pea: Rugs!
They quickly kneel and run their hands along the breathtaking patterns.
Silvermist: One, two, three...there's twelve! One for each of us!
Rosetta: But they weren't here when we fell asleep! How could-?
Spike: Maybe Madeline put them out!
Periwinkle: I don't care HOW or WHY they're here, because they feel heavenly!
She picks hers up and rubs it against her cheek.
Gliss starts doing the same thing
Gliss: You're right, Mary! They're so soft!
Fawn starts tossing hers in the air and catching it.
Fawn: And thick!
Iridessa holds her rug in front of her to admire the design.
Iridessa: And pretty!
Fizzy suddenly stands up and shouts.
Fizzy: And LOOK!
The girls all stop what they're doing and turn to the bubbly fairy.
Fizzy: THEY. HAVE. FRINGE! EEEEEEE!
She jumps up and down and squeals to the amusement of the audience.
Zarina smiles amusedly and starts to tease.
Zarina: Only YOU would be excited about fringe, Juliette!
Fizzy shoots back.
Fizzy: Oh, don't act like you don't love it too!
Zarina: Ok, I admit it: it's AMAZING! And-
She stops and tilts her head.
The girls all look confused.
Rosetta: And...what?
Zarina: SHHH! Listen!
The girls all cock their heads.
Fawn: Are those...footsteps?!
Vidia: Oh no!
Silvermist: Miss Clavel's coming?! I thought she was sick!
Vidia: Well, we were too, Isabelle, and now look at us!
Spike: It doesn't matter, there's no time! Back to bed!
Rosetta: Hurry! Under the covers!
Sweet Pea: Covers!
The girls quickly start gathering up their bedsheets and pillows, trying to get things in order before whoever's outside opens the door.
Periwinkle: Wait! My pillow! Where is it?!
Fizzy: Grab your own pillow, I'm worried about mine!
Iridessa and Gliss: Here!
They toss the missing pillows back to the winter twin and bubbly fairy respectively.
Soon everything is in order, and the girls pull the blankets over their heads.
Fawn: Be quiet! Shhhh!
Silence for a few seconds...and then Zarina pokes her head out.
Zarina: Are they gone?
Iridessa is quick to follow, acting like she's in full panic mode.
Iridessa: SHHHH! They're coming!
The alchemist looks annoyed as Sweet Pea pokes her head out too.
Zarina: We don't even know WHAT-
Sweet Pea: or WHO-
Zarina: "they" are!
Iridessa: Just be quiet! They're almost here! Hic! Oh, this always happens when I get too nervous!
They quickly get back under the covers as Tinker Bell and Lyria walk in to check on them.
Tink: Never mind...they're asleep. We shouldn't wake them, they need rest to get better.
Iridessa: Hic!
The hiding light fairy continues to hiccup louder and louder...and though they try to fight it, giggles start to burst their way out of the rest's mouths.
Finally, Lyria starts laughing herself, and the girls instantly silence themselves due to the unfamiliar sound.
They peek out...and-
Girls: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
They quickly hide back under the covers!
Tink hurries to the center of the choir stand with her arms projected to allay their fears.
Tink: No, it's ok! There's no need to hide!
Periwinkle, Sweet Pea, and Rosetta tentatively peek out.
Peri: Are you sure...?
Tink nods.
Tink: Positive! She's a friend of Miss Clavel's named Encanta. And not only that, but she sold us some rugs for your feet to be warm in the mornings!
She gestures to them, while the rest of the girls come out from under the covers.
Gliss: We saw them already!
Zarina: They're beautiful!
Sweet Pea: Beautiful!
Fizzy: Thank you!
Girls: Merci, Encanta!
Lyria smiles and does her elaborate bow.
Lyria: I assure you, it was my pleasure.
Tink then taps her chin in thought as she notices something.
Tink: Hmmmm...you all seem more energetic than the last time I checked in! How are you feeling?
The girls all start talking over each other.
Vidia: So much better! It was like magic! I woke up, and all my symptoms were gone!
Sweet Pea: Gone!
Silvermist: We weren't sneezing!
Rosetta: Or wheezing!
Spike: Or feeling sore!
Peri: Or running a temperature!
Gliss: The only problem...
Fawn: ...is Kate!
Fizzy and Zarina: Because she has...
Iridessa: HIC!
The girls giggle.
Girls: The hiccups!
Lyria smiles mysteriously.
Lyria: Ah, I can easily mend that! Kate, will you please come here and gaze into my ring?
Iridessa stands up nervously and looks to Tinker Bell for reassurance.
Iridessa: Made-HIC! Madeline...?
Tink grins excitedly.
Tink: There's no need to be nervous! Encanta's a magician!
The girls all gasp and stand up.
Spike: What?!
Silvermist: Really?!
Peri: Are you sure?!
Rosetta: A magician?!
They all start chattering at once and come closer to Lyria.
Fizzy: Pardon, but aren't you a rug merchant?
Lyria: Well...I prefer the term gypsy. And yes, I am...but I ALSO do magic on the side! And speaking of magic...Kate, look very closely at my ring, and don't look away until I snap my fingers...
Iridessa takes a deep breath.
Iridessa: Hic! Ok...
She does so here...and while the light talents do the magical light effects yet again, Lyria moves her hand with the ring from side to side.
At last, when the ring is at its peak brightness, the storytelling-talent snaps her fingers, and Iridessa comes out of the trance.
She waits a few seconds...
Iridessa: My hiccups! They're gone! How's that possible?!
Girls: Amazing!
The girls start peppering Lyria with questions.
Vidia: Can you do anything else?
Silvermist: What about card tricks?
Sweet Pea: Tricks!
Rosetta: How about pulling a rabbit out of a hat?
Spike: My uncle can pull a coin out of my ear!
Peri: Can YOU do that?
Zarina: Will you please show us a REAL magic trick?!
Fawn: Can you summon ice cream?
The girls freeze, put their hands on their hips, and shoot a look at the animal fairy.
Girls: Ca-mille!
Fawn: It doesn't hurt to ask...
The audience chuckles, before waiting to see what will happen next.
Lyria puts a hand on Fawn's shoulder.
Lyria: Hmmmm...ice cream?
Fawn: Oui!
Lyria: Any particular flavor you want?
Fawn: Chocolate!
Lyria: Chocolate ice cream...one second...
She gazes into her ring, more light effects happen, and the honeycomb-cake cart, filled with bowls of chocolate ice cream rolls into their midst!
Even Cheese, who has poked his head out again, gets a bowl of vanilla ice cream with some of his food sprinkled on top.
The girls gasp in amazement!
Vidia: La crème glacée!
Fawn: No way! This shouldn't be possible!
Sweet Pea: Possible!
Fizzy: She really IS magic! But the true test would be tasting it! Is it as good as the ice cream we sometimes get on our walks?
They all grab a bowl, and tentatively take a bite...before pretty much melting in bliss.
Iridessa: Mmmmmm...this is delicious!
Gliss: I've NEVER tasted ice cream this good!
Tink smiles playfully.
Tink: NOW do you believe that she's magic?
Fawn: Of course! This is the best chocolate ice cream I've ever tasted! Thank you, Mademoiselle Encanta!
Girls: Merci!
But the surprises go even further, as "Cheese" (actually an animal fairy just off stage) talks!
Cheese: Merci!
The girls gasp!
Tink: Am I hearing things, or did the mouse just...talk?!
Spike: I heard it too!
Vidia: Amazing! He never talked before!
Sweet Pea: Before!
Rosetta: There probably wasn't a need to, until now!
Gliss: It must be magic!
Fizzy: Indeed!
They cast an admired gaze on Lyria, who smiles mysteriously.
She steps forward and turns to them.
Lyria: Since you're feeling much better than you were before, I have another Christmas Eve surprise for you!
The girls all gather around peppering her with questions, before the storytelling-talent raises her hands for silence.
Fawn raises her hand excitedly.
Fawn: Is it MORE ice cream?!
The audience chuckles, while Zarina shoots a look at her.
Zarina: You just had some! What about a talking cat?
The girls giggle at the silly concept, while Cheese squeaks nervously and goes backstage.
Tink smiles, bursting with anticipation.
Tink: Trust me, this surprise is better than both of them combined!
Fawn gasps.
Fawn: Really?
She turns to Lyria and shoots a playfully suspicious look at her.
Fawn: Are you SURE you aren't Santa in disguise?
Lyria chuckles and shakes her head.
Lyria: Yes, I am sure. But moving on...for my next trick, you will all be going to visit your families for Christmas on the magic carpets I sold you!
The girls gasped excidedly.
Peri: We're going to visit our families?!
Sweet Pea: Families!
Zarina: We're going to ride on MAGIC CARPETS?!
Girls: HOORAY!
They start jumping and hugging each other with joy!
Only Vidia seems a bit unconvinced.
Vidia: ...Really?
Tink: Really, Regine! Like Encanta said, those rugs you saw aren't your everyday rugs! They can fly!
Vidia: I'd like to see it for myself...
Lyria puts a hand on her shoulder.
Lyria: Trust me, you will! But first...I have to say the magic word...
Gliss: What's the magic word?
The storytelling-talent smirks and begins to tease.
Lyria: Well...it begins with...
Girls: Yes...?
Lyria: It sounds like...
Girls: Yes, yes?
Lyria: It's...
Girls: Yes, yes, yes?!
Arabian music starts to play again as the reprise to Abracadabra begins, while everyone on stage dances.
Lyria: Abracadabra!
Girls: That's the magic word!
Lyria: Abracadabra!
Girls: The finest ever heard!
When you close your eyes, and wish for things like family!
Climb upon a magic carpet, and take a ride with me!
On Christmas Day we celebrate our favorite time of year!
When all our wishes and our dreams...ma-gi-cly ap-pear!
They hold the pose as the audience applauds.
Soon Gliss taps a finger to her chin as she realizes something.
Gliss: Wait a minute! What about Miss Clavel?
Silvermist: Oui, you're right! She'll worry about us when she sees we're not here!
Rosetta: We should tell her!
Queen Clarion sweeps in, looking as healthy as ever.
Queen Clarion: Tell me what?
The girls all hug her.
Fizzy: Miss Clavel!
Peri: You're healthy again!
Clarion smiles.
Clarion: Oui, mes enfants. I awoke not too long ago, with my flu having vanished, as if by magic!
Zarina: We believe that, since that happened to us too!
Clarion: Amazing! But back to the matter at hand...what is it you want to tell me?
At this the girls grew even more excited, if that was possible!
Vidia stepped forward.
Vidia: Oh, Miss Clavel! You're never going to believe it! Encanta, the gypsy, I mean the magician, I mean...
Fawn joined her.
Fawn: What Regine's TRYING to say is that she-
Sweet Pea: She said we could go on a magic carpet ride to visit our families!
The girls turned a shocked look to their quietest, who shrugged tentatively.
Sweet Pea: ...What? I can say things BESIDES repetitions, you know...
The audience chuckles before focusing back on the scene.
Clarion smiles good-naturedly.
Clarion: While that does sound very fun...are you CERTAIN she said that?
She turns to Lyria, who sends her a soft smile.
Lyria: Indeed I did, Miss Clavel.
Now the ruler seems a bit more hesitant, before Rosetta and Spike spoke up.
Rosetta: Oh, please, can we go?
Spike: You can even come with us, if you want!
Clarion gives a light laugh.
Clarion: No thank you, my little chéries. As I said, the old house is my home. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. As for your request...I suppose if you promise me that you will try your best to be very-
The girls start cheering before Clarion puts a hand up.
Clarion: -very, VERY careful...you may go.
The cheers resume, the girls eagerly nodding their heads.
Soon, Tink pipes up again.
Tink: Um, girls? What about our OTHER request?
The girls give a little jolt in realization.
Iridessa: We nearly forgot! Who's going to ask her?
Clarion: Ask her what...?
Peri: Not me!
Gliss: I'm not gonna ask her!
Fizzy: Me neither!
The girls continue to argue until the ruler claps her hand twice and sends them a stern look.
Immediately ten of the girls step back, leaving Rosetta and Tink in front.
Clarion: Ah, Simone and Madeline! Maybe YOU can tell me what's going on?
The two girls look behind them, and once they realize what happened, shoot a glare at their friends.
Rosetta and Tink: Thanks a lot...
Another chuckle from the audience.
Rosetta turns back and takes a deep breath.
Rosetta: First things first...Thank you, Miss Clavel, for allowing us to go home. We are very pleased with the outcome! However, as you've no doubt gathered, we have another request for you...
Clarion: Go on...
Tink takes over.
Tink: We found a new pet! That is...if you'll allow him to stay...
The ruler looks around a bit apprehensively.
Clarion: Is it a dog? A cat? A frog? Where is it? ...WHAT is it?
Tink: Well...our new pet is very small, very shy, and he was sick, just like my friends!
She gestures to the girls.
Clarion: Small, shy, and sick? Madeline, why not just tell me?
Tink: He's a mouse!
Clarion lets out a little jump and yell, then tries to compose herself by taking a deep breath.
Clarion: A mouse...?
Fawn: Oh yes!
Rosetta: He's so cute!
Zarina: We've actually been taking care of him!
The rest of the girls nod in agreement, while Fizzy brings Cheese out.
Fizzy: We love him!
Tink: All you have to do is feed him!
Cheese stands in front of the ruler, while she eyes him critically.
Clarion: Well...he seems nice enough. Not agressive in any way...very well. I'll care for him while you are with your families. HOWEVER, I will NOT promise that he can stay...yet, at least. I'll have to get to know him.
Spike shrugs.
Spike: Fair enough...thank you anyway, Miss Clavel!
Clarion smiles.
Clarion: You are very welcome, Dominique. As for now, if you are going to go on a magic carpet ride through the chilly winter air, you had best get your rugs, coats, and hats!
Girls: YAY!
They quickly run to the choir stand and collect their rugs, then go to their hooks that have their coats and hats.
Clarion: AND your scarves!
Girls: Of course!
Iridessa: The last thing we want is to get sick again!
Vidia smirks.
Vidia: Race you down to the basement!
She takes off, exiting stage left, while the rest quickly follow.
The Queen calls after them.
Clarion: Be careful! Don't go too fast! Don't lean too far over the side!
Lyria puts a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Lyria: Everything will by fine, Miss Clavel. I've ridden on many a magic carpet in my time. It's as safe as sleeping in bed.
Clarion: Well...if you're sure. Between you and me, they're like my daughters.
Lyria: I know...
Soon enough, the girls return, wearing their coats, hats, and scarves, and carrying their rugs.
Tink: You're sure you don't want to come, Miss Clavel? It'll be fun, not to mention a real adventure!
Clarion: I have too much to do here, Madeline. I'll be fine. You go ahead.
Tink: Okay, if you're certain.
Lyria clears her throat.
Lyria: So, who here is ready to take a magic carpet ride to their families?
The girls raise their hands and jump up and down in excitement.
Girls: We are, we are!
Lyria: Then follow me!
The story teller beckons, while the light-talents dim their glows to simulate nightime.
The girls all go in front of the old house prop with the backstage door, and spread their rugs out on the stage, which is thinly layered with pixie dust.
Periwinkle looks to Lyria.
Peri: Wait a minute, how do I get it to fly...?
Lyria: Simply say the magic word!
Peri: Oh, okay! Abracadabra!
Her rug starts to hover.
Fizzy: Let me try! ABRACADABRA!
One by one, each girl says the word, and one by one, all the rugs start to fly!
Laughter bubbles up from everyone's throats, with Lyria directing them on how to control the carpets.
Lyria: There you go! Now remember, lean right, fly right, lean left, fly left! To go up, pull up on the tassels, to go down, pull down! And finally, to speed up, lean forward, and to slow down, lean back! That's the way!
By now, they're all flying with ease, while Queen Clarion comes out of the backstage door to send them off.
Tink: Have a merry Christmas, Miss Clavel! We'll miss you very much!
Clarion: I'll miss you too, girls! Merry Christmas! Remember to be careful and listen to everything I told you!
Girls: We will!
Silvermist: Merry Christmas, Encanta!
Vidia: It was nice meeting you!
Lyria: To you as well! Hold on tight and have a very wonderful flight back home!
The two go back inside while the girls start flying all over the stage!
Fizzy: Look how high we are!
Peri: It's so beautiful from up here!
Tink: Oui! Let's fly by the Eiffel Tower and get some lights!
Zarina: Do you think we'll get in trouble...?
Tink: Of course not, we need to be able to see in the dark, don't we?
Fizzy: You're right! Wouldn't Monsuier Brun be surprised if he saw us right now?
Tink: He certainly would! Come on, girls, let's go!
Girls: Wheeeee!
Music starts playing for the next song, while Tink and her friends start a choreographed flight over the crowd.
In order to see in the dark, they've all pulled iridescent crystals out of their coat pockets to simulate as lights from the Eiffel Tower.
Sweet Pea, Gliss, Rosetta: This is so exciting, we;ve never been so high!
Fizzy, Fawn, Spike: The earth is very far away, and we can touch the sky!
Silvermist, Vidia, Zarina: Look at all the twinkling lights glowing very bright!
Iridessa, Peri, Tink: As we take our journey flying through this magic night!
Girls: We're flying! The wind is in our hair!
We're flying! We haven't got a care!
In the world, it's true, we're going home to those we love!
We're flying! On this special night!
We're flying! We've never seen a sight!
So incredible, it's true, we're going home to those we love!
Sweet Pea, Gliss, Rosetta: Life has opened up its arms to all of us tonght!
Fizzy, Fawn, Spike: It's given us the beauty of this enchanted flight!
Silvermist, Vidia, Zarina: Let us all be grateful for everything we see!
Iridessa, Peri, Tink: The world is such a precious gift that's being shared with me!
Girls: We're flying! The wind is in our hair!
We're flying! We haven't got a care!
In the world, it's true, we're going home to those we love!
We're flying! On this special night!
We're flying! We've never seen a sight!
So incredible, it's true, we're going home to those we love!
Sweet Pea, Gliss, Rosetta: Look at all the sights and the beauty to behold! I will not forget this night, even when I'm very old!
Fizzy, Fawn, Spike: Can you see the Seine? The Opera House, oui, oui! There's nothing that compares to the view of old Paree! (A.N. French pronunciation of Paris)
Silvermist, Vidia, Zarina: When this flight is over, we'll be with family! Santa will put all our gifts underneath the Christmas tree!
Iridessa, Peri, Tink: The crackling of the fire, the laughter in the air! The hugs for one another, to show how much we care!
Girls: We're flying! The wind is in our hair!
We're flying! We haven't got a care!
In the world, it's true, we're going home to those we love!
We're flying! On this special night!
We're flying! We've never seen a sight!
So incredible, it's true, we're going home to those-
Sweet Pea, Gliss, Rosetta, Fizzy, Fawn, Spike: -we looooove...
Silvermist, Vidia, Zarina, Iridessa, Peri, Tink: We looooove...
Girls: We looooove!
They land the carpets, throwing their arms out in a big finishing flourish!
After a few seconds, thunderous applause rings out!
This was the best scene yet!
A.N. Again, sorry for the wait! But WOW, this is DEFINITELY the longest chapter so far! Makes sense. It IS the longest scene in the musical. Anyway, read, review, but NO FLAMES!
