Alright, everybody ready? :)

Mike: Yeah, I guess. :p

Coco: Yeah!

Micky: Food! :D

Davy: Can't wait to show off me skills. ;)

Shelly: Party! :D

Winnie: (Voice over narration; we see a huge, beautiful old-fashioned southern mansion, with people in elaborate ball gowns and suits walking in and out; there's a line of carts at one side, including David's) The ball was the grandest affair in all Southland. Everyone who was anyone came to that shindig, and the performers were unmatched. Our group was feelin' pretty spiffy, too... ;)

(Fade in on the line; David, now dressed in the gold Prince Ludlow costume with white pants with a gold braid down the sides and black boots, his hair pulled back with a gold ribbon, sits in the driver's seat. Debbie and Coco are once again with him. Debbie wears a simpler pale blue silk gown with a headband of blue silk flowers.)

David: We'll be arrivin' in a second, everyone. When we get in, we'll set up and rehearse. :)

Debbie: I'm nervous! I've never been to anything bigger than a birthday party. :o

David: Nahh, you'll all be fine. You did a smashin' job, pickin' outfits.

Debbie: Are we ready for tomorrow?

David: (Nods) Emma and Petah and I arranged that this evenin'. We rented a small houseboat that will fit this cart and all of us. It shouldn't take us too long by rivah to get to Northland.

Coco: Great!

David: Aftah we rehearse, you can all mingle and get somethin' to eat. (Grins) You girls are going to 'ave a 'ard time gettin' the young men off you, you look so lovely. ;)

Debbie: (Blushes) I'm too young for that! :o

Coco: I'm not! ;) :D

David: Bettah watch out, Miss Coco. Some dashin' young officah may sweep you off your feet. ;)

Coco: I hope so! ;) :D

(The cart stops before another gate, this one less elaborate than the one guarding the city. Another guard, this one with a coronet, stops them.)

Gate Guard: Yo, man, what's your biz here?

David: We were summoned for a command performance by the Princess Audrella and her court. She gave us the propah documents and everythin'. (Hands the Gate Guard the scroll. He grins and nods.)

Gate Guard: (Whistles) Ok, man, it checks out. You're a-ok. In fact, you're one envied cat. It ain't easy to get one of the spots in the ball floor show. You gotta be really somethin' special. ;)

David: Oh, I'd say we're that, officah. ;)

Gate Guard: Just keep goin' straight. You'll see people surroundin' a door. It opens right onto the ballroom. You'll have time to rehearse before the main guests start.

David: Thanks, mate. (He cracks the reins, and the horses head to the door.)

(Cut to the ballroom. David and the group sets up their equipment and looks over the rest of the acts.)

Peter: Wow, look at this! (Points at one end of the huge room) There's the Three Blind Mice! (Three huge mice wearing sunglasses and white suits play a bit of a song on trumpets.)

Emma: And the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf! (Three pigs in sailor outfits and overalls play a fiddle, a piano, and a flute, while a wolf bangs on the drums.)

Coco: This is amazing!

David: And is that singing sensations Guienvere and Arthah De Morte performin' their biggest hit, "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" (A woman with short blond hair topped with a crown and an elaborate medeval gown sings with a small, broad-shouldered brown-haired man.)

Peter: (Helps the twins off the cart) Isn't this exciting, kids? Look at all these people! (Grins) And you all look wonderful, too. Emma and the girls picked nice clothes for you. :)

Emma: (Bends down to twin-level) You both look very nice. :)

Micky: Tanks! (He wears a little purple and yellow velvet suit with knickers) :D

Shelly: Tank you. :) (She wears a purple dress with a ruffled skirt and yellow trim and a yellow hairribbon. :) )

Gina: (Wears a dress somewhat similar to Shelly's, only it's yellow and less ruffly) This is so exciting! :D

Emma: (Straightens Coco's dress) You look fantastic, dear. :)

Coco: *blushes* Awe, thank you! :)

Peter: (He wears a dark orange suit in a similar style to Davy's, but with less brass trim and braiding; he sighs) I wish Valeria was here. (Sadly) I wonder what the witch did to her? :(

David: I'm sure she's all right, mate.

Emma: We'll get the Wizard to help us find her, Peter. (Turns to the door) Michael, why don't you join us?

Sir Michael: (Mutters) This is embarrasin'. :p

Peter: Don't you want to come to the party with us? :)

Sir Michael: Not lookin' like a pet, I don't! :p

Micky: Wolfie party! :D

Emma: Michael, get your fuzzy rear in here this minute! :p

(Sir Michael finally walks into the room, looking right and left to make sure the others are the only ones who see him. His fur is immacuately brushed and trimmed and looks sleek and shiny. He wears a purple silk ribbon around his neck, tied in a large bow in back, with a pendant in the middle.)

Sir Michael: I can't believe I'm bein' seen in public like this. :p

Emma: You needed some kind of collar. They wouldn't let animals on all fours walk around without one.

Micky: Wolfie pwetty! :D ;)

Shelly: Vewwy pwetty! :D

Sir Michael: Yeah, but I look like a girl. :p

Shelly: You no girl! You boy wolfie! :)

Sir Michael: Thanks, kid, I needed to be reminded of that. ;) :p

David: (Takes Emma's white-gloved hand) And you, Miss Emma of Cape Holly Beach, look like all five high princesses rolled into one. ;) (Emma blushes the color of her brick-red gown, but shakes her head)

Emma: I'll bet you say that to all the girl entertainers. ;)

David: Well, I do, but I mean it this time. ;)

(Sir Michael glares at him. :p)

*Coco chuckles.* ;)

Sir Michael: (As they set up) Em?

Emma: Yeah?

Sir Michael: While the first act is gettin' ready, do you want to...

Emma: Yes?

Sir Michael: Do you, um, want to go outside and walk around?

Emma: (Shrugs) Sure. I could use some fresh air. We spent most of the afternoon in shops or the cart. :)

(They walk outside together. A very young man in one of the officer's uniforms goes up to Coco and asks her to dance as a jazzy fox trot begins. Peter is also asked to dance by a young lady in a huge yellow gown trimmed with red roses. She pulls him onto the dance floor as Coco joins the youth. David stays with the kids, who help him finish setting up. :) )

*A woman enters for the party. She wears a long, dark red gown, with a matching stole around her shoulders. Her long, auburn hair is pulled back into a perfect french braid. She also wears a Costume Ball mask over her eyes. Several young men walk up to her and chat her up.* ;)

(The Flying Pigs also appear. They wear their leather jackets and clean T-shirts with ties. They chat up a bunch of girl pigs with big hair, tight dresses, and spike heels. ;) )

Shelly: (Tugs on David) Mr. David?

David: (As he sets up a microphone) What is it, luv?

Shelly: Bad witchie! (Points to the woman in the red outfit)

Gina: (Frowns) That DOES look like the woman we saw in the tower...

David: (Shakes his head) Nahh, she wouldn't show 'er face around 'ere, kids. There's too many soldiers who would grab 'er and stick 'er in the dungeon fastah than you could recite "Petah Peppah." ;)

Peter Pepper: (Young man in green pushing a cart full of pickled peppers) You rang? Want a pickled pepper? ;)

Micky: No pepper! *makes a face* :P ;)

David: Um, that's all right, mate. We already ate. ;) :p

Peter Pepper: Suit yourself. (Walks off, calling out his wares)

(Peter is on the dance floor, dancing with another young lady, this time a rather plump lass in lace-trimmed blue silk. She's giggling and trying to flirt, but Peter's mind isn't on his companion. She finally walks off in a huff...and a dark red-gloved hand takes Peter's arms.)

Woman: May I have a dance? ;)

Peter: (Distracted) Um, yeah, sure... (He finally gets a good look at the woman...and recognizes her) It's you! What are you doing here? Where's Valeria? :o

Grizelda: *smirks* Oh, she's safe at my Palace. I'm here for the party, just like everyone else. ;)

Peter: What did you do to her? :(

Grizelda: I just turned her into a pig. No big deal. ;) >:)

Peter: (Stops dancing, eyes wide) What? No! Turn her back! I love her! :( :o :((

Grizelda: Oh, you do? Well, that really doesn't change anything. ;)

Peter: Please, I miss her! I wish more than anything that she was in my arms, dancing with me! :(

Grizelda: If you want her back, help me get her father's money. >:)

Peter: No! That money belongs to them! :o

Peter: Please let me go! I won't help you do bad things! I'm a healer! I HELP people! :(

Grizelda: Oh, but you'll be helping ME! ;)

(The pigs appear at this point, all grinning ear to ear.)

Pigsly: Your ladyship...I mean (grins) Countess of Adonsia, you wanna go find the others right now? We can't get to the kids. They're near the stage, which is crawling with guards. Sir Michael and the baker chick aren't around, though.

Porker: And the rest of the army should be arriving soon! :D

Peter: (Eyes widen) Rest of the... :o

Flying Pig 3: (Indicates Peter) What about him? ;)

Grizelda: *nods* Perhaps the healer would like to join us to see his lady friend. ;) >:)

Peter: (Eyes widen) What are you going to do to me? Are you going to turn me into a pig, too? :(

Pigsly: We woulda creamed ya a while back, but Griz gotta thing for ya. :p

Grizelda: *glares at Pigsly* Blabbermouth. :P No, you require something BETTER than being a pig. ;)

Peter: (As Grizelda dances him to the entrance to the garden) A wolf? :o

Grizelda: Better, yes. Fitting for you, no. Something even better...

Peter: (Sobbing) Please, let me go!

Grizelda: *smirks evilly* I'll figure that out later. For now, let's check out that garden, shall we? ;) >:)

Peter: (Tugs at her arm) Let go! (But the witch grins as she makes a shackle appear and handcuffs Peter to her arm ;)

Grizelda: Now you're definitely NOT getting away. ;)

Pigsly: (Nods at the door) Hey, your ladyship, we found some interestin' hoglets back in the ballroom, so do you mind if we go cut a rug with them? ;)

Porker: And do a few dances, too! :D

(Pigsly rolls his eyes. :p 8-|))

Grizelda: *nods* Go right ahead. ;) >:)

Grizelda: Good help is so hard to find. :P

(The pigs put their arms around their ladies and walk back into the ballroom. Peter sobs, trying to pull away.)

Peter: I'll go to Princess Audrella and tell her you're here if you don't let me go! :(

Grizelda: Oh, I'm really scared. All I want from HER is her WAND!

Peter: The wand? But the wands are the high princesses' sources of power! :o

Grizelda: Exactly. >:)

Peter: That's what you're after! You're after their powers! I've got to tell the others! :o

Grizelda: *motions to the cuffs* And just HOW do you expect to that? ;) :P

Peter: (Looks at the cuffs; gulps) Oh, man, I'm in trouble. :( :o

Grizelda: That's putting it mildly. ;) >:)

(Grizelda discreetly dances Peter to the garden door and outside. Cut to the outside. Emma and Michael sit on a bench in the garden as David singing "If I Learned to Play the Violin" is heard faintly in the distance. Michael's head is in Emma's lap, which she absentmindedly strokes.)

Sir Michael: Em, why did you come with us? You hardly know us.

Emma: (Sighs) It was a chance to get away. You seemed like nice people, and you have those kids with you. You needed help getting where you were going, and I needed to get out.

Sir Michael: You must have had all the boys in Cape Holly Beach eatin' out of your hand, you're so pretty and smart... :X

Emma: (Shakes her head) Actually...I didn't have many friends at all. I wasn't cute and sweet like the other girls. The boys weren't interested in me, and most of the girls had other things more important to them than a plain bakerress' apprentice who would rather be reading or working on a story than going out to dances on a Saturday night. (Shrugs) I tried going to dances and clubs for a while, but it wasn't much fun. I like to dance, but the clubs were always smoky and full of drunks, and the dances were too noisy and crowded for much talk. I want someone I can talk to and who will talk to me back. I want to be taken seriously, you know?

Sir Michael: (Sighs) Yeah, I know.

Emma: (Looks down at him) You know, there's something very strange about you. It's almost like you're human, and not just in your speaking ability. (Smiles) What were you like, before the witch took away your courage? You don't talk much about yourself. I've told you about me. ;) :)

Sir Michael: Em, there's a reason they call me Sir. It's not a nickname. I'm... (But there's a rustling in the bushes filled with huge white blooms before Michael can finish)

Grizelda: *hisses* You stepped on my foot! :P

Peter: (Blushes as they stepped out of the bushes) Sorry, but we WERE sort of close in there. :p :">

Emma: (Stands; Michael pulls behind her, whimpering) You! You're the witch! You're the one who was trying to get to know Peter a little too hard in Rapunzel's Tower. :p

Sir Michael: (Whines) She's the one who turned me into a coward and...

Grizelda: It's so nice to be recognized. >:)

Emma: What do you want?

Sir Michael: Don't hurt us...especially her! :o

Peter: She's after Audrella's wand!

Emma: We won't LET you. X(

Grizelda: I'm not asking you to let me. I can get it on my own, thank you. :P

Emma: What do you want with us?

Sir Michael: She's gonna kill us, or turn us into somethin'! :o

Grizelda: How incredibly perceptive of you, Sir Michael. *smirks at the wolf*

Emma: Why did you take Sir Michael's courage? He's just a wolf! (Looks at him) Isn't he? Is that what you were going to tell me?

Sir Michael: (Whines) Em, I tried, but I didn't know how to say it...

Grizelda: *smirks* Oh, but he isn't just a wolf... he used to be a man, until he crossed my path. >:)

Sir Michael: I'm Sir Michael Del Naysmythe. :(

Emma: (Eyes widen) THE Sir Michael Del Naysmythe? Sir Michael the Brave, the defender of the kingdom, leader of one of the largest armies in Storybook Land, and daring rescuerer of countless fair damsels and helpless citizens? :o

Sir Michael: (Nods) Well, I was, once. :(

Emma: Why did you do this to him?

Grizelda: I asked him to find my niece, which he didn't do. :P

Peter: (Looks sadly at the wolf) Oh Michael, I'm sure this isn't how you wanted to tell her. :(

Sir Michael: You wanted me and my men to KILL her! An innocent kid! :p

Emma: (As she and Sir Michael pull closer to the door) What are you going to do with us, now that we know about your scheme?

Grizelda: I still need help finding the rest of the wands & getting Princess Valeria's father's money. >:) ;)

Sir Michael: Just don't hurt us! :(

Emma: Michael, stop it. (Glares at the witch) You know we'd never help you bring down the Squares, Grizelda.

Grizelda: Then perhaps you'd rather see Valeria dead? ;) >:)

Peter: NO! NO! Please! :o :((

(David and Coco choose this moment to pop their heads in. David makes a face.)

David: Wot are you people DOING? We've got a numbah to do! :p

(David immediately goes to Grizelda and kisses her free hand. ;) )

David: You are the lovliest woman I've evah seen. ;)

Grizelda: *grins* What a gentleman. ;) :"> >:)

(David winks at Emma over Grizelda's head. As David lays on the flattery, Emma pulls a hair pin out of her bun, letting her curls spill on her shoulders, as she frees Peter. Before Grizelda can figure out what's going on, they've gotten Peter away and David is kissing her hand and handing her flowers and promising to return as soon as he does his song. ;) :X)

David: I'll even dedicate me song to you, Countess. ;)

Grizelda: Why, thank you! :x

(Grizelda is so delighted, she doesn't see David follow the others back into the main room. Michael immediately sprints over to the twins, who have sticky hands covered with cake and icing and candy. ;) )

Micky: Cake! :D

David: What was that all about? (Grins) Othah than the attractive female. ;)

Debbie: Gina, I thought you were watching the twins! :p

Gina: You said you would! :p

Emma: They're a mess!

Peter: (Takes a napkin from the nearest table and wipes their hands) What have you two been up to?

Shelly: We eat! :D

David: I think we figured THAT much out. ;)

Gina: They must have hit the pastry carts while our backs were turned.

Debbie: Now they'll be hyper all night. :p

Micky: Pastries good! :D

Emma: The way you ate them, they must have been! ;)

(They run to Sir Michael and give him hugs when they're done being wiped. :) )

Sir Michael: Aww...kids... :">

David: (Nods at the audience; they're clapping and hooting and shouting for more) Come on, gang. We've got to get back up there, before they start takin' chunks out of the stage. ;)

Peter: (Shakes his head) No, we've got to stop Grizelda! She's going to take Audrella's wand! :o

David: Wot?

Emma: That lovely countess you were flirting with was the Witch Grizelda.

Micky: *makes a face* Bad witchie! :P

Sir Michael: I used to be a knight, but she turned me into a wolf and a coward, and now she's after the high princesses' wands! :o

David: But witches are old and ugly. :p

Emma: Not all of them are. I've met witches passing through Cape Holly Beach who were quite attractive. ;)

Debbie: How are we going to stop her?

Gina: Could we do something to distract her and the pigs?

Peter: (Grins) I don't think we'll have to distract the pigs. ;) (Indicates the Flying Pigs, who are happily doing the Watusi with the girl pigs ;) )

Coco: Now that's a sight. ;) :P

Peter: I'll bet she's gonna bring her whole army here! :o

David: Well, we'll put a stop to that! (Nods at the stage) Let's get the crowd in such a frenzy, Griz's army won't be able to get through! ;) :D

Gina: And we'll warn the Princess when the song's done! :D

Sir Michael: Now, wait just a minute... :o

Emma: Come on!

Peter: It's a great idea! :D

(Everyone runs onstage, though Emma has to drag Michael. Peter hurries over to the orchestra and picks up a guitar. :) )

David: (Leans over the orchestra) Ok, boys, here's our next numbah. (To the crowd) This one goes out to the second loveliest lady at this ball aftah the High Princess Audrella, the Countess of Adonsia! Why don't everyone give the little lady a big hand? ;) (He indicates Grizelda in the crowd; she's looking for the kids. Everyone turns and claps for her.)

Grizelda: Wha... :-/ X-(

David: (To the orchestra as Emma goes to a microphone; Coco takes the piano) Ok fellas, "If You 'Ave the Time," please. ;)

(And David does, indeed, launch into "If You Have the Time." Michael dances with the twins, Debbie, and Gina, but he looks apprehensively at Grizelda. Peter plays with the orchestra, but his mind clearly isn't on the music. Emma keeps giving Michael strange looks.)

(David struts and sings and dances, lapping up the adoration of the crowd, and generally has a whale of a time. ;) )

*Grizelda tries to go after Michael, but gets cut off by another man wanting a dance.* ;)

(Coco and Emma both find themselves surrounded by young men wanting to dance with them. They accept. Michael sadly watches Emma as she dances. :( )

(The twins see that Michael is upset and give him big kisses. :D)

(Princess Audrella and her court arrives as the song ends. Their arrival is announced with a blast of jazzy fanfare.)

(The Princess and her court ascends the stage. David and the girls move aside as Audrella, in a gorgeous red gown trimmed with lace and gold glitter. The other two wear slightly less elaborate gowns, also in red.)

Princess Audrella: Ok, folks, (grins and waves her wand) I'm here. Now the party can REALLY get hoppin'! I hereby announce that this ball is open and ready for some serious partying. We're gonna party till the cows come home, and some of us are gonna party 'till the cows call the cops. ;) (Lots of laughter in the crowd) Here's a recommendation, folks. Don't ever wear glass shoes to a serious party. They can't stand the wear and tear. All it takes is midnight, and they fall off. ;)

(Grizelda is trying to make her way to the stage. Michael whimpers and gets behind the twins. :o )

Peter: (Jumps up from the orchestra at the same time Emma, David, and Coco hurry over to Audrella) Your highness, the Witch is here!

*If she was capable, Grizelda would be snorting smoke by now.* ;) :P X-(

Audrella: What? (Raises her eyebrows) I know we got a couple of voodoo women around here, but...

Emma: The Witch Grizelda is here in disguise, Your Highness, and she intends to invade your party and steal the wand!

Princess Audrella: The nerve of her, spoilin' a perfectly good party! ;) :p

*Grizelda clenches her fists.* :P X-(

David: She wants to use the power to take over the Southland!

Peter: She already hurt an innocent knight and the High Princess Valeria of the Tower Square and tried to have her own niece killed!

Gina: Her piggies were gonna hurt US, too! We're just kids!

(The pigs all glare and grumble. :p)

Princess Audrella: I don't believe this. (Turns to her court members) Winifred, Lilly, do you believe this?

Lilly: Yeah. That ol' witch would try anythin' once.

(That's when there's a knock at the door and someone saying "Avon calling." ;) )

Winifred: Somethin' tells me that ain't a lady carryin' beauty products. :p

Officer 1: (As something is heard hitting the door) Man, your highness, it's the Witch Griz' army!

Officer 2: She's got Butter Poppers and Really Big Rodents and Grickle Grass Monsters and who knows WHAT else? :p

Princess Audrella: Ok, Grizzie, we know you're in there, so could you please come out of hidin' and join us in havin' a good time? ;)

Sir Michael: And tell her to stop the monsters, before they eat us! :o

Princess Audrella: Don't worry, Sir Mike, I won't let them eat us. There's too many of us, anyway. They wouldn't know where to begin. ;)

Peter: Grizelda is the woman in the dark-red dress! She tried to kidnap me earlier!

David: I weren't lyin' when I said she was the second loveliest woman in the room. ;)

*Grizelda looks around innocently.* :|

Princess Audrella: Griz, if you don't come out of hidin' and call off your overgrown zoo in five minutes, I'm gonna turn you into a toad, so you WON'T be the second loveliest woman in the room. ;) >:)

*Grizelda growls and motions for the pigs to high-tail it.* ;) :P

(The pigs pick up their ladies and head out, whispering sweet nothings into the girl pigs' ears as they giggle. ;) )

Princess Audrella: That's gross. :p

Debbie: I didn't know pigs KNEW how to whisper sweet nothings! :o

Grizelda: *just before she leaves* This is NOT over! :P *leaves, mutterin* X-(

(There's a collective cheer and the jazz music picks up again.)

Princess Audrella: (Grins) Ok folks, now that she's gone back to play nice with the nut house, let's go back to doing some major paaaaarrrtayying! (Grins) Who's got the cheese dip? ;)

(Cut to later. The kids all sit on the stage. The twins are once again asleep, pillowed on Sir Michael, who is awake. Emma strokes his head. David and Peter talk to the girls. The ballroom is empty except for a few stray servants gathering leftovers and cleaning up falling decorations and noisemakers.)

(Princess Audrella, Lilly, and Winifred once again appear, this time with a young man with dreadlocks and a purple paisley uniform on Audrella's arm.)

Princess Audrella: (Shakes her head as the kids get up) Don't stand, man. I hate all that formal stuff anyway.

Prince James: Man, cats, we just wanted to thank you for alertin' us to Griz's presence.

David: It was nothin', mate.

Peter: We were glad to help!

Coco: And it was fun! ;)

Debbie: We had a great time at your party!

Sir Michael: We all thank you. (Nods at the twins sleeping soundly on him) The kids do, too.

Prince James: Those kids are dolls, man. We wanna have six just like 'em. ;)

Princess Audrella: (Nudges him as her court snickers) Oh, Jimmy... ;)

Coco: *chuckles* Well, that sounds familiar... ;)

Gina: You've never seen them awake and in bad moods. ;)

Debbie: Or chased all over the house after them. :p

Coco: Or been tied up by them. :P

Princess Audrella: (Rubs her stomach) Oh, we will soon. ;)

Prince James: (Grins, but then returns to the matter at hand) If there's anything we can do for you...

Peter: Tell us how to get to Emeralda Square from Northland.

Emma: We're hoping to see the Wizard. I need direction.

Peter: I want brains, and Sir Michael wishes to have his courage and human form restored.

Prince James: (Makes a face) Man, I wish I could give Griz a whack with my guitar for doin' that to you. There ain't enough good knights in this kingdom, and she messes around with the ones we do have! :p

David: I'm 'opin' to learn 'ow to love.

Winifred: It's practically impossible to get to the Wizard! He's the greatest cat in the entire kingdom! He's got a waiting list the size of a Mutation's birthday cake! :p

Sir Michael: That's what I'm worried about. :p

Debbie: We've GOT to see him! We want to go home!

Gina: We're not from here! We're from another world!

Coco: Yeah, we need to go home!

Debbie: Our mom and stepdad are gonna worry about us! :(

Lilly: I think the best way to go would be directly through Yorkalia and across the Floral Square. Kinda strange terriorty, but it's faster than going around would be.

David: That'll take days, and anyway, Floral Square is gnome territory. :p

Peter: I've always wanted to see a real gnome! :D

Princess Audrella: (Grins) In honor of what you did for me, I'm gonna give you some help in return. (Kisses each of them on the head, even Michael, though she spits fur out of her mouth over her shoulder after she does him) There. When they see the little kiss marks on your forheads, they'll know that if someone should try to hurt you, they're gonna have to answer to ME.

Prince James: (Hands Coco the wand) We want you kids to bring this to the Wizard for safekeeping.

Princess Audrella: You're goin' there anyway, and we're gonna be (pats her stomach dreamily) busy. ;)

Peter: (Eyes widen) US?

Emma: Wow.

Coco: Oh, my... :D

Sir Michael: What if the witch finds out?

Lilly: Zap her with it. ;)

Coco: Really? :D

Princess Audrella: You have my full permission. The wand knows you're friendly. ;)

Emma: What about you? Don't you need it for protection?

Winifred: Honey, we've got the second largest army in Storybook Land.

Lilly: And the largest army of partiers. You saw what happened tonight. ;)

Prince James: (Reaches for one of the remaining glasses) Now, who's ready to toast to my wife, who's gonna have us a bouncing new partygoer in nine months? ;)

Princess Audrella: James... (Blushes proudly) :D :">

David: (Nods) 'Ere ere! (Picks up a glass) To the new arrival!

Peter: And their kind and generous parents! :D

Coco: *shrugs and picks up an empty glass* Here here! :D

("Here heres" go around as we fade out on the happy group. :D)
