Sofia and Madeline season 1 Episode 23
"The Floating Palace" Part 2
Baileywick brought Sofia and Madeline to the dinner table. "Look who I found." He announced. "Mom, dad!" Madeline called. "Girls, why is your hair wet?" Miranda asked. "You know you're not supposed to go swimming by yourselves!" "We need your help!" Sofia declared. "Something terrible has happened!" "What?" Roland asked. "Well, it's a long story, but..." Madeline fretted. "We met a mermaid!" "You did!?" Amber gasped. "No way!" James smiled. "Where is she?" Amber asked. "I want to see her." "Amber, they're just kidding!" Roland chuckled. "Right?" "No, dad!" Sofia denied. "We really met a mermaid!" "Impossible!" Hornpipe snorted. "But we did!" Madeline insisted. "Her name's Oona, and we need to rescue her!" "From what?" Hornpipe asked. "A sea monster kidnapped her, admiral Hornpipe." Sofia declared. "And her mother, the mermaid queen, thinks we took her." "So if we don't save her by sundown, the queen is going to make a storm that will sinkthe floating palace." Madeline added. "That's preposterous!" Hornpipe laughed. "It does seem a little far-fetched, girls." Roland admitted. "It sounds like one of the stories in their mermaid book." Amber declared. "Well, perhaps the princesses fell asleep reading their book, and dreamt about all this balderdash." Hornpipe suggested. "It's not balderdash!" Sofia insisted. "So then, can we meet one of these mermaids?" Miranda asked. "Well... no, you can't." Madeline sighed. "Not right now, because Oona's missing, and the others are too afraid to come up to the surface!" "Well, there you have it." Hornpipe said matter-of-factly. "Either they dreamt it, or they're making it up." "Sofia and Madeline don't make things up." Miranda glared. "I don't about that." Amber stated. "They're always pretending to talk to that bunny of their's." "Clover!" Sofia gasped. "He'll help us!" "We've got to go!" Madeline declared as she and Sofia rushed off. They found Clover, who was still struggling with the seagull. "Still awkward!" The seagull groaned. "Clover!" Sofia called. "We've been looking everywhere for you." "Whoa, what happened?" Madeline asked. "This seagull took my lunch." Clover declared. "The lunch you took from the galley." The seagull pointed out. "Where else was I supposed to get it?" Clover said hotly. "It doesn't matter." Sofia untied them. "We really need your help!" "Are you three talking?" The seagull asked. "What does it look like we're doing?" Clover retorted. "Oona's in trouble." Madeline revealed. "Oona the mermaid?" The seagull asked. "You know her?" Sofia asked. "Yeah." The seagull answered. "A sea monster kidnapped her." Madeline explained. "A sea monster?!" Clover yelped. "Can you help us look for her, Clover?" Sofia asked. "Sure, kid." Clover nodded. "I'll hop up to the top of the palace. Oh, I bet you can see the whole Cove from up there!" "Righto." The seagull flapped his wings. "And I'll search from the air." "You will?" Madeline smiled. "Thanks, mister seagull." "The name's Farley." The seagull told them. "Well, thanks, mister Farley seagull." Madeline waved. "We're going back in the water." Sofia told Clover. "Oh, I hope we can find her!" "We will." Clover assured her. Clover clambered onto the first step of the stairs. "Ooh, one step down..." He looked at the many steps above. "Way too many to go!" As Sofia and Madeline swam away, Plank observed them. "Where are they going?" He asked. "And where's Oona?" Plank returned to the castle. "Plank, any news?" Emmaline asked. "The girls went up to their ship, then came back in the water, and swam off." Plank summarised. "Was Oona with her?" Emmaline asked. "No." Plank answered. "And need I remind you, not only is Oona in jeopardy, but so is the Mermaid Comb. If the humans take it, they'll have the power of the oceans at their fingertips! Use your trident. Conjure a storm that will sink their ship. Then we can swim inside it, and take Oona back ourselves!" "If we sink their ship, the humans could all perish!" Emmaline pointed out. "But mom, we can't just let them keep Oona!" Cora countered. "I'll give them one more hour." Emmaline declared. "If your sister isn't released by then, we will bring their ship to the bottom of the cove." Back in the cave, Oona was still resisting. "You can keep me here as long as you want." She told Cedric. "I'm never giving up my Comb! I promised my mother I wouldn't let anyone else have it." "Oh, then it'll be a terrible shame when the promise is broken." Cedric sneered. "Because the Mermaid Comb of Merroway Cove will be mine!" Cedric looked through his spell book. "This spell is going to undo the magic charm protecting your Comb, and deliver it right into my hand!" Cedric gloated. "Oh, I mean flipper. Uh, whatever this is." He cleared his throat. "Forces of magic, with powers beyond measure, break the enchantment, and bring me the treasure!" The cave was engulfed in light. Farley saw it from the air. "What is that?" He asked, diving down to check. Inside the cave, the beam of magic from Cedric's wand missed the comb, ricocheted around the boat, and knocked Wormwood's bucket into Cedric's face. "It didn't work!" Cedric groaned, picking up the flopping Wormwood. "Oh Wormy, I'll get you back in the water!" He put Wormwood into the water. "I'll have to find another spell..." Farley flew above him, and spotted Oona. "Oona!" He gasped. Back at the floating palace, Clover finally made it to the top of the stairs. "Okay, those girls are gonna owe me big for this." He panted. Spotting a crate, he hopped over and climbed on top, looking at the cove. "Pretty good view from up here." Clover suddenly saw Farley, and fell off the crate in shock. Hornpipe then chased them both with a broom. "No rats on my ship!" He roared. Hornpie cornered Clover, but Farley swooped down and lifted him into the air. "Oh, I say!" Hornpipe swung the broom. "Off with you!" "You are just as heavy as you look, you know that?" Farley groaned. "Are you kidding me?" Clover glared. "I must have shed five ounces climbing up all those stairs!" "I've found Oona." Farley declared. "You did?" Clover asked. "Yeah, but now I can't find the girls." Farley added. "Hey, there they are!" Clover pointed at the swimming platform, where Sofia and Madeline were talking to Sven. "Down there!" "We should keep looking." Sven suggested. "We're going to check in with Clover." Madeline declared. "Maybe he saw something." "Right." Sven nodded. "And who is Clover exactly?" "Girls!" Clover called, as Farley dropped him at their feet. "Thanks for the soft landing!" "The sea monster has Oona on a boat!" Farley added. "Where?" Sofia asked. "I'll show you!" Farley took flight. "Follow me!" Sofia and Madeline got back into the water. "You're going alone?" Clover asked. "No, Farley and Sven are going with us." Madeline declared. "No-one else believes us, so we have to try ourselves." The girls dove downwards. "Be careful, kids!" Clover waved.
Back at the cave... "Yes!" Cedric crowed. "Now this spell will surely get that Comb! Suspendos denotty vitae!" The spell lifted up Oona's cage, spun it around, then hurled it at Cedric, knocking him into the water. "Merlin's mushrooms!" Cedric groaned. "I'll have to consult my other spellbooks." Getting back on his book, Cedric looked at his collection. "Which book?" He asked. "Ah, 'The Joy of Sorcery'! Yes, perfect!" While Cedric was reading, Farley landed beside Oona's cage. "Farley!" Oona whispered. Sofia and Madeline leapt onto the side of the boat. "Girls!" "Where's that monster?" Sofia asked. "Up there." Oona pointed. "He's trying to steal my enchanted Comb." "Don't worry." Madeline assured her. "We'll get you out." Sofia and Madeline climbed onto the boat. "Where's the key?" Sofia asked. "I don't know." Oona replied. Sofia and Madeline crept over to the front of the boat. There, they saw the key lying on top of a pile of books. "There it is." Madeline smiled. While Cedric muttered spells to himself, Sofia and Madeline snuck up behind him. Just as Madeline was about to grab the key, Wormwood popped out of his bucket and started squeaking, alerting Cedric. Madeline snatched the key, and they ran, Cedric in hot pursuit. Cedric grabbed them, causing Madeline to drop the key. Farley flew in and pecked Cedric, loosening his grip on them. "Go, girls!" Farley yelled. Sofia picked up the key, and they ran to Oona's cage. "Hurry!" Oona told them, as Sofia put the key in the lock. "Not so fa-ast!" Cedric sang, using his magic to send the key flying. "They key!" Oona gasped. "No!" Madeline tried to catch it, but it fell into the water. Sofia and Madeline jumped into the water after it. "Where'd it go?" Sofia asked. "What happened?" Sven popped up. "Did you see a key?" Madeline asked. "A key, a key, a key..." Sven mused. "What's a key?" "We've got to find it!" Madeline yelped. Back at the cave, Cedric was sneering at Oona. "Oh well, I was aiming at at the princesses, not the key." He declared. "Not to worry, I still have you!" Back at the castle, Emmaline's patience had worn thin. "I can't wait any longer." She declared, picking up her trident. "It's time we take matters into our own hands. Everyone, go back to your homes until we return. Plank, let's go get my daughter back." "Yes, your majesty." Plank nodded. "I'm coming, too." Cora swam over. "No." Emmaline refused. "It's going to be too dangerous up there." "But she's my little sister." Cora protested. "And I'm supposed to look out for her!" "We will find Oona, I promise." Emmaline hugged her daughter, then she and Plank swam upwards. As they surfaced, Emmaline raised her trident. A beam of light shot out of it, creating a massive storm cloud. "Looks like a storm's coming." Sven noted. "Not coming." Sofia declared. "Queen Emmeline's bringing it." The cloud grew bigger and bigger, releasing lightning, and creating powerful winds, rocking the palace. Inside, the royal family felt the effects. "Whoa." James gulped. "Daddy?" Amber asked. "It's just a little squall, Amber." Roland told her. A burst of thunder startled Amber. "Baileywick, can you go see if Sofia and Madeline are alright?" Miranda asked. "I'll go check on them." Baileywick tottered out of the room. Outside, Sofia and Madeline were sitting on a rock, despairing. "The queen is going to sink our family's ship!" Madeline groaned. "Let's tell her you found Oona." Sven suggested. "They won't believe us." Sofia sighed. "No-one believes us! I don't know what else to do!" "Me neither." Madeline agreed. Suddenly, their amulets started glowing. "Uhh, your necklaces are glowing." Sven pointed out, before a glow from underwater caught his attention. "What's that?" "Let's find out." Madeline dived alongside Sofia. They followed the glow to a barrel, from which pincess Ariel popped up. "Ariel?!" Sofia gasped. "Princess Ariel?!" Sven asked. "What are you doing here?" "Sofia and Madeline's amulets brought me here to help." Ariel explained. "What's going on, girls?" "Our friend Oona's in trouble." Madeline declared. "We tried to save her, but..." "You couldn't do it on your own?" Ariel offered. "No." Sofia sighed. "We all need a little help sometimes." Ariel smiled. "Once, prince Eric needed my help when his ship sank." "Our family's ship is in danger too!" Madeline told her. "Well luckily, there's one answer to both your problems." Ariel declared. "There is?" Sofia asked. "Follow me." Ariel urged. Sofia and Madeline followed Ariel to a small rock, where a music box laid. Ariel: You tried to save your mermaid friend But found it hard to do You think your quest is at an end But that is far from true For though our worlds have different ways There's one thing that we share We both adore our family so With love beyond compare Whether you live on land or sea We're all devoted to our family Alone you cannot win You need a helping fin The love we share Can set them free Joining together is the key For if our two worlds work in harmony You could end your troubles If only they would see The love we share Can set them free Ariel pointed out Cora. Right there Is a mermaid Who wants to save her sister Show her that you feel the same And you may just enlist her Sofia/Madeline/Ariel: Joining together is the key We have to learn to work in harmony Ariel: You could end your troubles Sofia/Madeline: If only she would see No matter where Ariel: In sea or air Sofia/Madeline/Ariel: The love we share Will set them free "Thanks, Ariel." Madeline smiled. "We know what to do now." Sofia nodded. They turned around to see that Ariel had vanished. "What mermaid is going to trust a human?" Sven asked. "A mermaid whose little sister is in trouble." Madeline added. They swam over to Cora, who was sitting glumly on the throne. "You?" Cora frowned. "Just cool your fins, Cora." Sven told her. "Where's my sister?" Cora asked. "They're telling the truth." Sven declared. "I saw the sea monster with my own eyes - both of them!" "You did?" Cora gasped. "He's after Oona's comb." Sofia revealed. "And he knows magic." "You're Oona's big sister." Madeline declared. "And the only way we're gonna save her is if we work together." "You said the monster wants Oona's Comb?" Cora asked. "That's what she told us." Sofia nodded. "Then we have to free her before he gets it." Cora declared. "It has the power to control the ocean!" "It does?!" Madeline gasped. "Mom gave the Comb to Oona so no-one would abuse it's powers, but she doesn't even know what it can do." Cora explained. "She should have given it to me. I know how to use it. And then Oona wouldn't be in danger." "So will you help us?" Sofia asked. "Anything for Oona." Cora nodded. They heard the rumble of the storm overhead. "But what about the storm?" Madeline asked. "We have to stop it before it gets too big and sinks our palace." "Don't worry." Sven smiled. "I can stop queen Emmeline." "You and what army, Sven?" Cora asked. Sven whistled, and a swarm of seahorses arrived. "This one, Cora." He smirked. "Actually, this is just the immediate family. We'll pick up the cousins on the way. Let's hit the waves, gang!" "Come on!" Cora declared.
Up above, Clover was being tossed around by the storm. "Where are you, girls?" He asked. Suddenly, he was lifted into the air in a net carried by Farley. "Aha!" Farley yelled. "What are you doing back here?" Clover asked. "Oona's still in danger, so I thought you and I could team up." Farley declared. "We'll be unstoppable!" "Operation: mermaid rescue has begun!" Clover announced, singing his theme tune. Meanwhile, Emmaline and Plank were watching the storm. "The storm isn't big enough yet." Plank declared. "Bring forth a typhoon!" "So be it." Emmaline sighed. She tried to move the trident, but found she couldn't. "What's wrong?" plank asked. "My trident..." Emmaline groaned, before it was yanked out of her hands. The trident was pulled under by Sven's family. "We got it, fellas!" Sven cheered. Emmaline and Plank gave chase. "Give the queen her trident!" Plank demanded. "Sven, what's gotten into you?" Emmaline asked. "Oona was taken by a sea monster!" Sven announced. "I saw her!" "You did?" Emmaline gasped. "Impossible!" Plank countered. "The humans must have bewitched you, Sven. Give the queen her trident!" "Sorry, Plank." Sven smirked, as the seahorses took the trident away. "No can do!" "Sven, get back here!" Plank followed, joined by Emmaline. Back on the floating palace, Baileywick returned. "Your majesties..." He staggered. "Did you find Sofia and Madeline?" Miranda asked. "They're not in their room, but I have all the servants looking for them." Baileywick announced. "I'll bring them here as soon as we find them." "Okay, but be quick." Miranda declared. Back at the cave, Cedric was having more success. "At last, I have found the spell that will retrieve your Comb!" He told Oona. Sofia and Madeline raised their heads out of the water. "Eclipso facto, break the charm, and float into my waiting arm!" Cedric recited. "No!" Oona yelled as he Comb flew off her head. "Not so fast, Mr. sea monster!" Sofia jumped and caught the Comb. "Give me the Comb, and I'll let your mermaid friend go." Cedric offered. "Don't give it to him!" Oona protested. "Don't worry." Madeline whispered. "We have a plan." "What are you going to do if I don't give it to you?" Sofia asked. "Make me vanish, or something?" "Yes, that's exactly what I'll do!" Cedric sneered. Sofia threw the Comb into the water. "No!" Cedric yelped. "Sofia!" Oona gasped. Down below, Cora caught the Comb. "Oh, you leave me no choice!" Cedric fumed. "Vanisho wayfaria!" As a beam of magic fired out of his wand, Sofia and Madeline ducked. The beam hit Oona's cage, which vanished. "You tricked him?" Oona asked. "Uh-huh." Madeline nodded. "You won't trick me again!" Cedric growled. As Cedric raised his wand, Clover suddenly dropped on his head, wrapping a ribbon around his mouth and eyes. "Blackout device deployed!" Clover declared. "Clover!" Sofia smiled. Farley dived down and snatched Cedric's wand. "Magic wand: secured!" Clover cheered. Wormwood jumped out of his bucket and grabbed Farley, who dropped the wand. "Magic wand: unsecured!" Clover groaned. Cedric pulled the ribbon and Clover off his face, and retrieved his wand. "Your animal friends can't help you this time." He smirked. "But our mermaid friend can." Madeline declared. "Cora!" "Cora?" Oona gasped. "Cora?" Cedric gulped. Cora surfaced, wielding the glowing Comb. "Waters, rise at my command!" She called. A stream of water rose up and struck Cedric, sending him out of the cave and across the Cove. "Thanks for rescuing me." Oona thanked Sofia and Madeline. "It wasn't just us." Sofia smiled. "Oona!" Cora waved. "Cora!" Oona jumped into the water and hugged her sister. "You saved me! I guess having a big sister looking out for me isn't so bad after all." "Here." Cora gave her the Comb. "This belongs to you." "Thanks." Oona put the Comb back on her head. "Maybe you can show me how to use it sometime." "Sure." Cora chuckled. "If mom lets me." "Right," Oona smirked. "Come on!" Madeline waved. "We have to find your mom!" They all dived. Farley lifted Clover out of the cave. "Swim seahorses, swim!" Sven urged as they carried the trident. "Sven!" Plank yelled. Sofia, Madeline, Oona and Cora swam over. "Mom!" Oona beamed. "Oona!" Emmaline hugged her daughter. "You're alright! Oh, you're alright!" "Thanks to Sofia and Madeline." Oona smiled. "What?" Plank gasped. "You were wrong about them, Plank." Cora admonished him. "We all were." "I'm sorry." Emmaline apologised. "I don't know what to say." The rumble of the storm caught their attention. "I have to stop that storm." Emmaline declared, as the seahorses returned her trident. As Hornpipe struggled to steer the floating palace, Emmaline returned to the surface.
Inside the palace, Baileywick returned to the royal family's room. "Your majesties." Ha said through a hankerchief he was holding against his mouth. "Did you find Sofia and Madeline?" Miranda asked. "Not yet, but-" Baileywick cut off as Roland and Miranda ran past him. "Your majesties, wait!" "Wait for us!" James called as he and Amber followed. As Roland and Miranda ran onto the deck, they saw Emmaline holding up her trident. "Miranda, is that what I think it is?" Roland asked. "It's a mermaid!" Miranda gasped. Emmaline sent another beam of light into the sky. "A mermaid!" Amber gaped. "Is she making the storm go away?" James asked. "I don't know." Roland replied. "Barnacles!" Hornpipe gazed out of the wheelhouse's window. "It's a mermaid!" Sofia, Madeline and Oona came to the surface. "Look!" Sofia pointed at the dispelling clouds. "The storm's breaking up." Oona smiled, as the clouds gave way to reveal the evening sky. "Your family's going to be okay!" Sofia, Madeline and Oona hugged. Sofia and Madeline then climbed back onto the ship, becoming human once more. Farley swooped down low, dropping Clover onto the swimming platform. "You know, you don't have to drop me every time we land!" Clover said testily. "I know." Farley landed." "But I so enjoy it." Sofia and Madeline giggled. "Oona, can you wait here?" Madeline asked. "Sure." Oona nodded. "We'll be right back." Sofia said, as she and Madeline rushed off to see their family. "Mom, dad!" Madeline called. "Thank goodness you're alright!" Miranda hugged her daughters. "I'm sorry we doubted you, girls." Roland apologised. "It's okay, dad." Sofia smiled. "So, do you want to meet the mermaids?" Madeline asked. "Right now?" Amber asked. "Yeah!" James cheered. "You bet I do!" Roland exclaimed. Clearing his throat, he added "I mean, why not?" "I think it's about time we all became friends." Sofia declared. "Oh, I knew you were telling the truth all along." Amber hugged her sisters. "What are we waiting for? Let's go see them!" They rushed over to the swimming platform, where Oona was waiting. "Oh, hi!" Amber said breathlessly. "Whoa!" James gasped. "She's got a tail, and everything!" "She's a mermaid, James." Amber smirked. "Try to keep up." "This is our friend, Oona." Madeline introduced them. "Oona, this is our family." "Hi." Oona waved. "Hi." Amber smiled. "Hey." James waved back. "Pleased to meet you, Oona." Roland declared. "Well, hello there." Baileywick smiled. "Do you want to meet my family?" Oona asked. "Oh, we'd love to!" Miranda beamed. Oona swam back into the water. Moments later, she resurfaced, joined by Cora. "That's Oona's sister, Cora." Sofia informed the others. "Oh..." Amber gasped. Sven surfaced next, followed by every mermaid in Merroway Cove. Emmaline was the last to surface. The royal family gazed, awestruck. "Oh, my!" Roland chuckled. The mermaids bowed as Oona and Cora led Emmaline to the floating palace. "This is my mom." Oona declared. "Queen Emmaline." "Your majesty." Roland bowed. "It is an honor to make your acquaintance." "The honor is mine." Emmaline bowed herself. Meanwhile, Cedric and Wormwood crawled back onto the floating palace. "Water to air, sea to land, turn us back to bird and man!" Cedric waved his wand, changing himself and Wormwood back to normal. "Well at least that spell worked! Now come along, Wormy. I need a vaction!" As Cedric walked away, Wormwood spotted a tail sticking out of his robes. On the other side of the boat, Emmaline was introducing Plank to Roland and Miranda, and Amber was talking with Cora. "I love your headband, Cora." Amber smiled. "What's it made of?" James, clad in swimming trunks, leapt into the water. "Woo-hoo!" He yelped, making a big splash. "James..." Amber groaned, her gown soaked. A short distance away, Sofia and Madeline were sitting close to Oona. "I'm glad everyone's getting along." Madeline smiled. "Me, too." Oona agreed. "It means we can be friends now." "It means we can all be friends now." Sofia said warmly.
The End.
