The film occasionally switches between the main plot and the subplot. Juno and her crystal ball were trying to flee Cyril's castle while the 3 other witches were looking for the Crystal Star and Juno, and dealing with Cyril's minions.
So far, Pauline was at the scene in a room with laser beam alarms. This was another scene they had to retake. "Laser Dancing, take 4," said Yellow Toad, then snapped the clapboard. "Roll the camera!" exclaimed Green Toad.
"Okay, Juno, we're halfway out. We need to get past…" said the navigator," those laser beams." "Laser beams?" asked Pauline/Juno. "Yes. Be careful. If you touch any of those lasers, you'll trigger an alarm that will let Cy know you're escaping," warned the navigator. "Okay, there's one thing we can do," said Pauline/Juno. "What's that?" asked the navigator.
"We're gonna dance out of here!" exclaimed Pauline/Juno. Then the brown-haired witch began dancing out of the laser hall while singing 'Dancing is the Key of Escape'. Halfway through the hall, Pauline/Juno got her crystal ball and asked the navigator, "Any sign of the guards or Cyril?"
"No sign of the guards or Cy. Come on, we're halfway through the lasers," said the navigator. Pauline/Juno continued singing her song and dancing around the lasers. She finished singing and dancing once making it to the end of the hall. "
You did it, Juno! We escaped the lasers!" exclaimed the navigator. Pauline/Juno spun in a circle in excitement, but her dress touched the laser… "Oh no! The alarm!" shouted Pauline/Juno.
Then the clapboard snapped. "And scene!" exclaimed Green Toad. "That was great, Pauline!" exclaimed Green Toad. "What a good song and dance number!" Blue Toad exclaimed. The others in the back complimented Pauline's performance until Green Toad shouted through the megaphone, "QUIET ON THE SET!"
"Anyway, Wario, Koop, you're next on the set. You both will find out that Juno is escaping from the castle. Yellow Toad?" said Green Toad. "Witch Escaped, take 1," said Yellow Toad, then he snapped the clapboard. "And go!" exclaimed Green Toad.
Koop, one of the guards, was in the 3rd-floor hallway when he heard the alarm. "The alarm? Guard to Cyril, guard to Cyril, do you read me?" "Cyril to guard, I read you. What's the issue?" asked Wario/Cyril. "One of the alarms has been set off!" exclaimed Koop. "What?! Let me check the cameras for which room. Go to the top of the castle and make sure that Juno isn't trying to escape," said Wario/Cyril.
Wario/Cyril flipped through the security cameras until he found the laser hall alarm. "It's coming from the laser hall," said Wario/Cyril. "It is? And speaking of the alarm, JUNO HAS ESCAPED!" shouted Koop. "SHE ESCAPED?! ACTIVATE LOCKDOWN MODE!" shouted Wario/Cyril, before pressing the button that said 'Lockdown'.
Meanwhile, Pauline/Juno was running to the exit where the staircase was as a metal wall was slowly closing. "Almost there…" said Pauline/Juno, breathless. Fortunately, she made it out alive. She sat down and leaned against the metal wall, catching her breath.
At this time, her friends were calling her again. "Juno, are you okay? You look breathless," said Rosalina/Sally. "Yes, I barely escaped the metal wall closing," said Pauline/Juno, "I accidentally set off the laser alarm." "Oh. Anyway, we found the Crystal Star in the cave by Cy's castle, and we're inside right now!" said Peach/Cassandra.
"You did?! That's exciting! Now we're all real witches!" exclaimed Pauline/Juno, as she stood up. "Yes, it is! We're inside Cy's castle, as we're here to battle him once and for all!" exclaimed Daisy/Gertie, "We'll see you soon!" Then the call ended. Pauline/Juno ran down the stairs to the 1st floor to see her friends again, excited to be reunited with them.
End of Chapter 9
Author's Note: Juno's subplot is based on the Backyardigans episode 'Break Out'. A good episode from my childhood, I recommend watching it. Stay tuned for more of this story!
