1. "Professional Pirate" from Muppet Treasure Island
2. "You are the Magic" by Philip Lawrence and Kayla Alvarez
Seeing as everyone soon was feeling tired after a long night of playing and dancing, Lamenta brought the Windu children, Strawberry, and the Lost Kids to a beautiful tree of silver white blossoms that looked like stars.
Lamenta waved her wand and turned it into a beautiful silver flute, on which she played the tune "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," and a door appeared.
"Here's where bedtime becomes funtime!" Lamenta said.
"Ladies first!" Omega called, and she jumped in through the door, screams of delight echoing as she rode a big slide.
All the kids took a turn going down the slide, and they all landed in what looked like a big nursery, but instead of going to sleep, namely all the boys, the kids all just started running and jumping on the beds.
"Everyone!" Strawberry scolded. "Boys, please settle down. It's time to get to bed."
"Bed?!" Rhett said. "Heroes do not go to bed."
"You're hardly a hero, Rhett. You haven't saved anyone yet." Myra said, fluffing a pillow.
"Kade Jr. doesn't wanna go to sleep." Kade said, referring to his kangaroo plushie.
"Well, Kade…" Strawberry said. "Let Kade Jr. know that if he doesn't go to sleep, he'll be too tired to jump anymore in the morning. Besides, we have to go home in the morning."
"But, Strawberry, we don't wanna go home."
"I hate to agree, boys." Myra said. "But she's right. We can't stay here. Mom and Dad will be worried if they come home and we're not in the nursery."
"But Uncle Mace is gonna make you move out of the nursery if you go back." Rhett said. "We don't want you to leave the nursery."
Myra was silent at that; she'd almost completely forgotten about that. She still didn't think it was fair to be forced out of the nursery so soon. She'd only just turned thirteen; she wasn't ready to be a grownup now! And what about when Rhett's mom came back to get him? That would leave Kade in the nursery all by himself.
"Boys, I know what happened back home was bad, but you need a mother. We all do." Myra reminded her brother and cousin.
"Aren't you our mother, Myra?" Kade said as Myra helped him fix up his onesie.
"Kade, no! I'm your big sister. And Strawberry is our nanny. Surely, you haven't forgotten our real mother, and surely Rhett hasn't forgotten his."
"Did she have big pink hair and bake cookies?" Kade asked.
"No, Kade." Myra giggled. "That's Strawberry."
The other kids, as they were playing, couldn't help stopping as they overheard this.
"I think we had a mother once." Anakin said.
"Yeah. I think she sang to us." Carmine added.
"What was she like?" Boba and Omega asked.
"I had a stepmother." Kara said.
"Was she wicked and made you clean the house?" Wrecker asked.
"Don't be ridiculous! Of course not." Kara pushed Wrecker, but he fell into Crosshair, who pushed him back, and then soon all the boys were messing around again.
"Oh boy! Dogpile!" Anakin cheered and jumped onto the pile and restarted the roughhousing.
Myra and Strawberry both rolled their eyes at this.
"Boys just have a way of getting into mischief, don't they?" Strawberry said more as a statement than a question.
"Some girls do too." Myra said. Then she whistled to get the Lost Kids' attention. And it worked. "Now, if all of you will get into your beds, I'll tell you what a mother is."
Eager to hear all about what a real mother was like, the Lost Kids all got themselves snuggled in their beds while Myra told them what a mother was.
"A mother is the most wonderful woman you could ever know." Myra began. "She's the angel's voice that bids you goodnight, kisses your cheek, whispers sleep tight."
Myra tucked Kade in and kissed his cheek as she explained all this.
Your mother and mine
Your mother and mine
The helping hand that guides you along
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Your mother and mine
Your mother and mine
Kara felt prompted to tuck her little brothers in and kiss them like a mother did.
What makes mothers all that they are?
Might as well ask, "What makes a star?"
Ask your heart to tell you her worth
Your heart will say, "Heaven on Earth"
Another word for divine
Your mother and mine
Truth be told, Kade began to miss his mommy as Myra sang this song about what a mother was. He felt tears come to his eyes at that moment.
"I want Mommy!" Kade started to cry. "And Daddy too."
"A daddy?" said some of the kids.
"You know, a father." Strawberry said.
"I think we had a father once too." Hunter said.
"So did we!" said Anakin, Carmine, and Kara.
"What's a father like?" Omega asked.
"Well, a father is a special man who takes care of you, kind of like mothers do. But their job, usually, is to provide for the family. To help the mother take care of the children, to teach them, to guide them, and help them to grow into the best they can become. Some are as affectionate as mothers… others take more of a… strict approach, but as strict as some fathers may seem, it doesn't mean they don't love each and every one of their children. Such as my father."
Myra started to realize how much she missed both of her parents. Even though Mace Windu could be a little harsh sometimes and a little too practical, he wasn't without love for his children. Sometimes, Myra couldn't help wondering if it was because he was forced to grow up too fast. And Myra knew Brenda would be devastated to come home and find her children both missing and never being able to find them.
For now, Myra and the other's needed to get a good rest so they could start dreaming again. Even Lamenta settled down for the night. Just because she worked at night didn't mean she didn't need her sleep from time to time.
As everyone was sleeping for the night that night, all was peaceful at first. Birds were asleep in their nests, the mermaids comfy in their coral beds, and the werewolves safely sleeping in their caves with the pups all cozied together. But, that peaceful sleep was interrupted as creatures all around began to see terrible things in their dreams.
Everywhere you looked, someone was dreaming of something horrible! Monsters attacking, fires spreading, floods, tornadoes, emotional torment! People were crying, screaming, and waking up with a start.
In all the chaos, Lamenta found herself waking up. Something was wrong! She hadn't sensed nightmares in Never Land since….
"It couldn't be!" Lamenta whisper-yelled. "Lammy! Wake up!"
Lammy bleated a tired bleat, so Lamenta picked her up and flew them both out from the hideout to see what was happening. And she gasped the moment she saw Never Land. It was even worse than she thought.
Everywhere Lamenta looked, horrible things were spreading throughout the land, and she could see horrible shadow monsters transforming into the things Never Land's residents feared the most. Giant spiders, giant snakes, swarms of bats, fire-breathing dragons, you name it!
"Oh, no! This can only mean one thing."
"Miss us, little one?" said a female voice from behind Lamenta.
Lamenta recognized the woman, and she wasn't alone. Silvaria and Nefari Navarro, former dream fairies of Never Land, the ones who were banished for going too far with nightmares and torturing people with their biggest fears.
"How did you escape the Dark Isle?!" Lamenta said, getting her wand out.
"I have a better question, child."
Silvaria raised her hand out and held Lamenta in a red bubble of some kind.
"Where is your hideout?"
"I won't tell you."
"Lammy! Vamoose!"
Lammy quickly obeyed her girl and flew towards the trees to get away while the dream fairy attempted to fight the Navarro Sisters. Unfortunately, the two sisters were stronger than Lamenta remembered.
"You thought you could stop us forever, did you?" Silvaria said. "Well now, little Lamenta, you shall witness the powers of our nightmares!"
Meanwhile, back in the hideout, all the children were asleep… until Lammy burst in and rang a bell, bleating loudly to wake everyone up. For such a little sheep, she was very loud!
The children all woke up with a start, all of them groaning from being disturbed from their sleep.
"I thought sheep were supposed to help you sleep, not wake you up." Carmine whined, rubbing his eyes. "Anyone see my glasses?"
Lammy bleated and ran around frantically. Unfortunately, none of the children spoke sheep or could understand Lammy like Lamenta could, so they couldn't tell what was wrong. Except, they all noticed Lamenta was missing.
"Maybe she went to find water," said Wrecker.
But Lammy shook her head and bleated to say no.
"I wish one of us spoke sheep." Myra said, scratching her head.
Lammy bleated again, and Strawberry's ears shot up.
"What's that?" Strawberry said. Being a horse, she could understand most other animals. So, Lammy talked to her again. "Lamenta's been captured?!"
"Captured?!" the children exclaimed.
"Captain Hondo?" Hunter asked.
Lammy bleated again.
"No," said Strawberry, translating for Lammy. "The Navarro Sisters."
That had the Lost Kids all terrified. They'd heard the story many times before. It was the Navarro Sisters' banishment to the Dark Isle that kept nightmares from even being on Never Land, even when its residents were sleeping. But how could they have returned? Their powers were supposed to be gone, and there were no boats in the Dark Isles.
"Captain Hondo must've gotten them off!" Myra said. "He is the one who wants to get rid of her."
"What do we do?" Kade said.
"We do what Lamenta usually does, fight the nightmares!"
So, the children all rushed out to go after the Navarro Sisters. Except, when they got out, they were quickly captured by some horrible shadow monsters! All of them screamed for help, but before any of them could do anything else, everything went black.
Myra groaned as she awoke, and to her great surprise, she found herself tied up. And she wasn't alone. All the Lost Kids were tied up too, and they were quick to realize they weren't on Never Land's island anymore, but on a ship! And not just any ship, Captain Hondo's ship.
Lamenta was tied up to a separate post, struggling as her mouth was muzzled, and Hondo taunted her by holding her wand in his hand.
"It looks as though dreams really do come true." Hondo laughed, twirling Lamenta's wand in his hands. "My dream has come true tonight. I finally captured the dream fairy."
"Technically, the Navarro Sisters did that." Lamenta said, getting the scarf off her mouth. "You just accepted a delivery. That's just like you Hondo, letting someone else do the work for you, and taking the credit when the results come in!"
"Ha! I am a pirate. It's what we do." Hondo said. "I may not have found your hideout, but I have something better. I have you and all your little friends."
Lamenta struggled in her restraints. She could hear all the screams of terror as the horrible shadow monsters controlled by the Navarro Sisters were tormenting everyone on the island with the things they feared most, and they would keep tormenting them until all happy dreams were nothing but forgotten. Lamenta had to get her wand back so she could use the power of the Celestial Light to defeat them again. But that wouldn't be easy with the ropes tied around her.
Myra and the Lost Kids struggled too, but then, Hondo had a bit of an offer for all the children.
"I don't want to hurt you, per se. But I cannot have you interfering with my crew's journeys." Hondo said. "I can make all your wishes come true much better than the dream fairy can."
"For a bunch of adults, you sure are childish." Myra said. "I mean, spending your life going after a fairy who gives people happy dreams and robbing people? That's petty child's play, and not good kid behavior either."
Hondo laughed and said, "Oh, you misunderstand, pretty girl. We are not the monsters here. Why should you stay on that little island when you can have the real way to never grow up? You forget, we grownups were children like you once. But, we did not want to live the life of boring adults with boring careers that take up all our lives' time and keep us in one place. We are more alike than you think."
And then the pirates did what pirates always did at times like this: break out into a shanty.
Hondo:
When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation
My father said "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation
Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier
My boys why not consider a more challenging career
Pirates:
Hey ho ho
You'll cruise to foreign shores
And you'll keep your mind and body sound
By working out of doors
Hondo:
True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without
Pirates:
And when you're a professional pirate
Turk Falso:
That's what the job's about
Hondo:
Upstage, lads, this is my starring number!
Now take Jabba the Hutt, the people all despise him
But to Tatooine he's a hero and they idolize him
It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good
Hondo had his men cut the rope holding the children, but they held onto the girls.
And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood
Pirates:
Hey ho ho
We're honorable men
And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten
Hondo (holding his sword near Lamenta's chin):
On occasion there may be someone you have to execute
Pirates:
But when your a professional pirate
Pirate #1:
You don't have to wear a suit,
The rest of the crew looked at that pirate oddly.
What?
Pirate #2:
I could have been a surgeon
I like taking things apart
Turk:
I could have been a lawyer
But I just had too much heart
Pirate #3:
I could have been in politics
'Cause I've always been a big spender
Pirate #4:
And me
I could have been a contender
The Pirates all laughed for a bit, and then Hondo gave a bit more of a heartfelt type of speech. At least, heartfelt for a buccaneer.
Hondo:
Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated
I say we're victims of bad press it's all exaggerated
We'd never stab you in the back, we'd never lie or cheat
We're just about the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet
"Tell me, children. Do you really think your parents have your dreams at heart? They tell you what to do all the time! 'Clean your rooms!' 'Eat your vegetables!' 'Brush your teeth!' And telling you to be realistic about your careers. They will tell you art is a waste, that you should have boring jobs in an office or school."
The kids started to look down at that for a moment. Those who could remember life outside Never Land knew it was true. Parents did have a habit of telling their kids what to do all the time, and it could be a real drag sometimes, especially when they try to tell their kids to pursue other jobs instead of following their dreams.
"Join us, children. No matter how old you get, you won't have to grow up. It will be adventures all day and night. No one to boss you around or tell you who to be. Unless you'd prefer to walk the plank."
Pirates:
Hey ho ho
It's one for all for one
And we'll share and share alike with you and love you like a son
"Or daughter." said one pirate.
We're gentlemen of fortune and that's what we're proud to be
And when your a professional pirate
Hondo:
You'll be honest brave and free
The soul of decency
You'll be loyal and fair and on the square
And most importantly
Pirates:
When you're a professional pirate
You're always in the best of company
The boys seemed to like the idea of adventures twenty-four-seven. But just as they were about to start signing their names in a book to become part of the crew, Myra screamed for them to stop.
"Boys! Shame on you!" Myra said. "Don't you see what he's trying to turn you into?"
"But we can have adventures!" Anakin said.
"Technically, it's also the option that means we live." Tech said.
"But do you really believe everything he just said? Yes, parents do tell us what to do, but not to enslave us. They only want what's best for us, and if they don't wanna support our dreams even when we're willing to take the steps, then they need to grow up a little more."
The boys looked down and thought about what Myra said. Kade and Rhett looked ashamed for even considering it.
"The one thing our parents try to teach us more than anything else is that our actions all come at a price. And if you choose to be pirates and leave those awful sisters to overthrow Never Land, it means millions of children and adults across the entire world will be living in fear forever. Is everyone else suffering the price you're willing to pay for never growing up?"
Everyone thought about what Myra said, and soon they refused to join. So, Hondo had new orders.
"Since they will not join us, send them walking the plank. Ladies first."
The pirates tried to take Myra to the plank, but this was a moment where Brenda making Myra take karate since she was three was finally going to pay off.
"Heeyah!" Myra elbowed the pirate who held her and sent him flying into the water to face the Musical Shark down below.
And then, Myra started beating other pirates who tried to come at her. But she wouldn't be alone for long.
Myra karate kicked the chains that held Lammy, and the little sheep flew up with her pixie dust and started to chew on the ropes holding Lamenta, and soon the other kids started mimicking Myra's karate moves and making up some of their own, while also grabbing swords to fight the pirates with.
While the pirates were busy fighting everyone else, Myra took on Captain Hondo herself, and she yanked his arm hard behind his back, probably dislocating his shoulder in the process, which caused him to drop Lamenta's wand.
Myra quickly picked up the wand, and she decided to try and use it.
"Kade! Rhett!" Myra shouted. "Time to make your dreams come true!"
Myra waved the wand and aimed it at the boys. But, it didn't do quite what she was expecting. The wand hit Kade's kangaroo, and it turned him into a real kangaroo.
"Kade Jr's big!" Kade exclaimed.
As for Rhett, he suddenly found himself dressed in khakis, a bomber jacket, and a fedora. And he also found he had a whip of some kind in his hand.
(Cue: "Raider's March" Indiana Jones theme)
"What the heck?" Rhett looked at himself. "I dream of being a superhero, not some safari guy."
"Heads up!" Myra said.
And a pirate tried to attack Rhett, but he swung his whip and managed to swipe his sword and catch it by its handle in the other hand.
"Cool!" Rhett said.
Myra also took the chance to use the wand on herself... and it surprised her with an acoustic guitar.
"What? Okay, that's not the guitar I was imagining." Myra whined.
Lammy soon chewed the rope completely off Lamenta, allowing the young fairy to spread her wings and fly.
"Myra!" Lamenta called.
Myra took that as her cue to throw Lamenta her wand. It appeared that before the children could even think about saving Never Land, they had to take care of these pirates first.
Myra wasn't sure how a guitar could help her in this situation, other than using to bash a few pirates in the head and knocking them overboard, but the boys found ways to use their now true dreams. Rhett's whip helped him to swing across the ship and fight the pirates, while the now big Kade Jr. could prop himself up on his tail and kick the pirates with his powerful legs. And the Lost Kids all fought pretty hard too, while Strawberry swooped at the pirates with her powerful wings, and they all looked like they were having fun doing it.
At one point, they even climbed up the nets on the masts, but Lamenta took on Captain Hondo at the top of the highest mast.
"It's over, Hondo! Surrender now!" Lamenta said. "Or I'll give you a nightmare you'll never forget."
"Ha! You wouldn't dare. You couldn't take me man-to-man. I mean- man-to-girl. You are just a small girl."
"I may have a six-year-old body, but I got more wisdom than you have in all your years." Lamenta retorted. "I'll take you on with a hand behind my back. I won't even fly."
"Foolish girl!" Hondo said. "You cannot beat me. You will just fly off like a cowardly butterfly!"
"No one calls me a coward and lives! I give my word."
"Then let's have at it!"
Hondo swung his sword, but Lamenta blocked it with her wand, which she turned into a sword, and she battled Hondo on the mast, not flying at all, like she promised.
The other kids managed to get the other pirates thrown overboard, all except Turk who took an escape boat to row away. But when they saw Lamenta about to fall, they all got worried, especially when Hondo made her drop her wand to the deck below.
"Fly, Lamenta!" Myra shouted. "Fly!"
"No! I gave my word." Lamenta said. But then, she had an idea. "Rhett! Time to be a hero!"
Rhett knew quickly what Lamenta was asking, and he threw his whip up for Lamenta to catch.
Hondo fought his hardest, and he nearly had Lamenta as she was close to falling off the mast. But, Lamenta swung the whip at the flag on top and pulled it down before wrapping Hondo in it.
"You're mine now, Hondo!" Lamenta said, snapping the whip.
Now Hondo, for once, was terrified of the little girl.
"You- you wouldn't do old Captain Hondo in, would you, little one? I'll go away forever. I'll-I'll do anything you say!"
"Okay..." Lamenta said. "If you say you're a codfish."
Hondo was mortified, but being a man of his word, he said, "I'm a codfish."
"Louder!"
He shouted it this time. The kids all cheered and mocked Hondo as a codfish, which was also something the Musical Shark liked.
"Alright, Hondo. As rightful ruler of Never Land, I declare you free to go and never return. I banish you from Never Land forever."
But when Lamenta turned around to declare victory, Hondo tried to strike at her, but Myra shouted a warning, and Lamenta flew out of the way, leaving Hondo to fall into the sea below, and to be chased by the very hungry Musical Shark.
And screaming like a little girl, Hondo ran across the water and swam for his life with the shark close behind! The other pirates were just as scared, and they rowed away, never to be seen again.
"Hooray for the Dream Fairy! Hooray Captain Lamenta!" the kids cheered.
"This battle's not quite over yet, everyone." Lamenta said. "We gotta take care of the Navarro Sisters, or Never Land is doomed!"
Lamenta made the ship fly and steered it to the one place she knew the Navarro Sisters would go. The ruins of Navarro Castle. Or, at least, what used to be castle ruins. With their magic restored, the Navarro Sisters made the castle like new again.
But, Lamenta and her friends were soon captured again as the Navarro Sisters came after the children and had their shadow monsters transform into whatever each of them feared the most. Quickly, Myra grabbed Kade and Rhett and hid them in the Captain's quarters.
The Navarro Sisters cackled as they trapped Lamenta in a bubble and swiped her wand.
"Not so tough without this, are you?" Nefari said. And she snapped the wand in two with her bare hands and threw it to the floor.
The moment her wand was destroyed, Lamenta's wings vanished, her gown turned back into rags, and she fell to the floor.
"Hope you enjoyed your time as a ruler, child." Silvaria smirked. "because now that you are without Celestial Light, you can never stop us again. Now, you shall witness for the rest of your life as we fill the world with the powers of our dreams!"
Everyone became even more afraid as the shadow monsters spread.
No one knew what to do. Lamenta just lost her magic, the kids were all trapped by their worst fears, and Myra still didn't know why the wand gave her brothers great uses for their dreams, but it gave her a simple acoustic instead of a rock n' roll guitar.
Myra picked up the pieces of the wand and grabbed Lamenta before the shadow monsters could get to her.
Strawberry quickly swooped in and carried the Windu children and Lamenta, Lammy following close behind to get to safety somehow. Luckily, it appeared the Navarro Sisters didn't get to the hideout. Strawberry flew as quickly as she could to the big tree. There was only one problem: without Lamenta's wand to become a flute, how could they play the musical key to get in?
"Who said it had to be from a flute?" Myra said, getting an idea.
Myra strummed the strings and started to play the same tune Lamenta played before. At first, nothing seemed to happen. But then, the tree opened, and everyone quickly got in and got to the hideout. A thing about this hideout, it was the one place that nightmare spells couldn't enter.
Lamenta looked tearfully at her reflection in the mirror. She looked just the same way she did forty years ago. An ordinary girl in rags, nothing special, and without magic. Like so many dreamers who'd been told they would never achieve their dreams because they were too young, too poor, or just didn't have the skills for it, she felt crushed, lost, worthless.
"I finally had my dream." Lamenta said tearfully. "I made kids happy, I made dreams come true. And then, the Navarro Sisters just took it all away in one foul swoop."
"Isn't there anything we can do?" Rhett said. "Maybe we can fix it."
Rhett tried putting the two broken halves together, but nothing happened. Lamenta just sat and looked down, crying.
"It's hopeless!" Lamenta started to cry. "Maybe I would've been better off just staying back and growing old with no dreams at all. Mother Talzin was right. I am just a worthless dreamer with no sense of reality."
Strawberry nuzzled Lamenta and said, "Don't say that, Lamenta. You are not worthless. You are a very special girl, and you were chosen to wield the magic for a reason."
"Yeah." Myra said. "You looked up the stars for answers, and you got a miracle. You know, my mom always tells me that when miracles come about, they don't stay if you don't take action and care for them. She says that miracles are like a present, and you treat it like the greatest gift ever. If you wanna keep it, you have to take care of it."
"Some great job I did." Lamenta said sarcastically. "Just look at my wand. I'm nothing without it. I can't cast spells with it anymore. Now all the dreams are gone."
But, Myra wasn't going to let Lamenta give up on herself. She remembered something important Lamenta said. She was given a miracle because she believed in herself, and she looked deep within each and every one of the dreamers she visited. The dreams everyone had didn't come from the Dream Fairy's magic spell. They were inside them all along. All she did was help them to see them.
Lamenta, however, even as Myra pointed these things out, still felt hopeless. Myra felt frustrated. Not even Lammy cutely bleating and laying in Lamenta's lap could cheer the girl up.
Lamenta helped so many people believe in themselves; now it was the kids' turn to help her believe in herself.
Myra looked at her guitar. It might not have the power to cast spells, but Myra knew of one kind of magic music definitely had. She picked it up and began to sing a special song just for Lamenta.
Myra:
Make a wish upon a star
Close your eyes and just believe it
You have traveled from so far
Now you're close enough to feel it
With a smile on your face and a song in your heart
This is where you're meant to be
Make a wish upon a star
The magic is here
It's here for you and me
Lamenta looked at Myra as she sang her song. Myra saw it was working, and she continued to sing and give Lamenta a reminder of the magic that was inside her.
Take a magical carpet ride
Travel to Neverland just believe that you can
Let your conscience be your guide (be your guide)
'Cos it's there inside
And soon, Myra wasn't alone in her song.
Strawberry & Myra:
If you believe (Myra: that you can)
That it's possible tomorrow
Let your heart (Strawberry: guide the way)
And all your dreams will follow
Doesn't matter where you are
'Cos the spark is in your heart
Wherever you go you can have it
'Cos you are the magic
'Cos you are the magic
'Cos you are the magic
Strawberry:
Just believe it and close your eyes
You can go anywhere while you soar through the air
Myra:
Let your imagination fly (Strawberry: let it fly)
'Cos it's there inside (Boys: 'Cos it's there inside)
Lamenta continued to listen, and she began to feel better. And then, something magical started to happen with Lamenta's wand. Instead of piecing itself together, it broke down into smaller pieces and began to fly all across the room, sparkling like hundreds of beautiful stars that surrounded Lamenta and lifted her into the air.
If you believe that you can
That it's possible tomorrow
Let your heart guide the way
And all your dreams will follow
Doesn't matter where you are
'Cos the spark is in your heart
Wherever you go
'Cos you are the magic
'Cos you are the magic
'Cos you are the magic
By the time the song was done. Lamenta found herself being surrounded by sparkles, and her rags started to change again, but not into the same dress she had before. This one was more dazzling with lots of stars all over it, and a new tiara appeared on her head more sparkling than the old one. But the biggest change was probably the moon necklace that appeared around her neck.
Lamenta didn't understand what was happening at first, but when she looked at her hands, they glowed like her wand used to. She soon came to realize the magic of the Celestial Light wasn't from the wand. It was always inside her. But, she needed to learn that achieving dreams wasn't enough to keep them. It was how she responded to when someone tried to take it away that determined how true of a dreamer she was. And here, she learned to believe in herself again when things seemed hopeless.
Suddenly, Lamenta became more determined than ever to save the magic of dreams.
"My dream was always to help dreams become true." Lamenta said. "The Navarro Sisters think they can keep their dream of overthrowing Never Land? They have another thing coming. But I can't do this alone this time. I need all of you to help me with this. Millions of dreams are at stake. Can I count on you to help me save them?"
Myra was first to place her hand in. Strawberry placed her hoof in, and so did Lammy. And then, Rhett and Kade did so as well. Together, they all declared...
"Dream Team unite!"
