Amber's Flying Lesson

Speaker Dialogue
Princess Amber See? Riding a flying horse isn't so hard.
Princess Sofia Um, Amber? We haven't started flying yet.
Princess Amber Do we have to do that part?
Princess Sofia Don't you want to learn how to fly it? It's easy. Just sit up straight, then flick the reins...
Prince James And yell, "Heeyah!"
Princess Amber Okay, Saffron. Heeyah? Oh!
Prince James And boom goes Amber.
Princess Sofia Good try, Amber. You stayed on longer than I did for my first time.
Prince James No, she didn't.
Princess Sofia Ready to try again?
Princess Amber Not if it involves falling again.
Violet Lunch is served in the dining hall!
Princess Amber Lunch already? Oh, what a shame. Guess we'll have to finish my riding lesson later.
Prince James Thanks.
Princess Sofia Mmm-hmm.
Prince James Are you coming, Sofia?
Princess Sofia I'll be right there. It was nice of you to come over and help with Amber's lesson, Minimus.
Minimus Anything for you, Sofia.
Princess Sofia Need a scratch?
Minimus Ah, yeah. Thank you. Oh! Ooh, I have terrible wing-ear coordination. You're the best, Sofia.
Princess Sofia See you in a bit!
Saffron Well, hey there, short, light and purple! Whatcha doin' for lunch?
Minimus I don't know. Eating, probably.
Saffron Well, what do you say we grab some oats and get acquainted?
Minimus Are you sure you're talking to me?
Saffron You're funny! I'm Saffron. What's your name?
Minimus Oh, Minimus. My name's Minimus. So what brings a horse like you to a stable like this?
Princess Amber Maybe I don't need to ride my new horse. I could just braid her tail and feed her apples.
Princess Sofia Once you get the hang of it, Amber, you're going to love riding. When you and your horse are soaring through the sky, just the two of you, you form a special bond.
Prince James Yeah. Sometimes Echo knows which way I want to go before I do!
Princess Sofia So what do you say, Amber? Ready to go back out there?
Princess Amber All right. I'll give it one more try.
Princess Sofia Minimus!
Princess Amber Saffron!
Prince James Echo!
Princess Sofia Minimus! Minimus? Minimus?
Prince James Hey! Echo's not in his stall!
Princess Amber Neither is Saffron!
Boy The horses, they've gone missing! They're all gone!
Princess Sofia Gone? What do you mean, gone?
Driver They broke free of the carriage!
Boy The others are gone too!
Princess Sofia What's going on?
Driver All the flying horses have taken off, Princess!
Princess Sofia What?
Princess Amber Why?
Driver Well, I don't know. One second I heard strange music playing in the distance, then the next second, bam! They all flew off!
Princess Sofia We should tell Constable Myles.
Constable Myles So, only the flying horses are gone?
Boy Yes, Constable.
Constable Myles Did you see which way they went?
Boy They were heading southeast fast as their wings would take 'em!
Princess Sofia It's not like Minimus to fly off like that, Constable. I'm worries.
Constable Myles Don't you fret, Princess Sofia. I'll lead the search party myself. And we won't rest until we find every last horse.
Princess Sofia I wish we could go look for the horses too.
Princess Amber Where would we go?
Princess Sofia We could start with Sir Gillium. He knows everything about flying horses. Maybe he knows where they went.
Prince James Yeah, but we can't get to Royal Prep without flying horses.
Princess Sofia True.
Princess Amber Sofia, what you need is a distraction, something to take your mind off all this. Let's go to the Jewel Room.
Princess Sofia Amber! That's a great idea!
Princess Amber Of course it is. Jewelry makes everything better.
Princess Sofia No, no, not the jewelry. The griffins who guard the Jewel Room. They can fly us to Royal Prep!
Prince James Brilliant!
Princess Amber Whoa, wait. Are you suggesting we ride griffins?
Princess Sofia Yup. Stay here. I'll get them.
Jasper Princess Sofia? Hi! Hi! It's so good to see you again!
Princess Sofia Wow! Jasper, you've gotten so big!
Jasper Griffins grow fast! Look how big I am!
Opal Jasper! Slow down, honey!
Jasper So what are you doing here, Sofia?
Princess Sofia I need your help. And your mom and dad, too.
Jasper Cool! Let's go, go, go!
Onyx Hold up, Jasper. She hasn't even told us what she needs yet.
Opal He's always in such a hurry.
Onyx Ah! Don't! How can we help, Princess?
Princess Sofia Come with me. All right, you guys, on to Royal Prep!
Prince James Great. I'll take the big one.
Princess Sofia Amber, you can ride Opal, and I'll ride Jasper.
Princess Amber Sofia, we don't have to do this. The knights are already searching for the horses.
Princess Sofia Minimus isn't just my horse, he's my friend. I'll do whatever it takes to find him. Aren't you worried about Saffron?
Princess Amber Of course I am. I really want her to get home safely. But I don't know how to ride a griffin!
Princess Sofia I'm sure it's a lot like riding a flying horse.
Princess Amber I don't know how to ride a flying horse either!
Princess Sofia It's not hard. Just hop on and hold on to the scruff. Like this. Okay?
Princess Amber Oh... Okay, I'll go. But just to Royal Prep. Oh, I don't know about this. Nice griffin. Good griffin. So how do we take off again?
Jasper All right, let's go, go, go!
Princess Amber No, no, no!
Princess Sofia Come on, Amber, now you're getting it! Let's go!
Jasper Go, go, go!
Princess Amber Ahh! Oh! Thanks. Maybe I can fly this thing. No, I can't.
Princess Sofia Okay, follow us. We're there!
Princess Amber Oh, finally we can land!
Prince James Actually, landing is harder than it looks. See ya down there!
Princess Amber Oh, no! Oh, how do you steer this thing? Oh! No! Oh!
Princess Sofia Sir Gillium!
Sir Gillium Princess Sofia! What are you doing here?
Princess Sofia Our horses went missing.
Sir Gillium So did ours!
Princess Sofia What?
Sir Gillium Every horse in the stable is gone.
Princess Sofia Where could they all be?
Prince James Listen. Do you hear music?
Princess Amber I do. But where is it coming from?
Princess Sofia I don't know. Maybe it's the same music the coachmen heard before our horses took off!
Prince James I think you're right. Look!
Princess Sofia Whoa. They're all flying in the same direction.
Prince James Yeah, like they're following the music!
Princess Sofia And I bet wherever they're going, that's where our horses went too! Let's follow them.
Prince James Good idea.
Princess Amber No, it's not. I am not getting back on that thing!
Princess Sofia The only way to learn how to fly is to keep getting back on the horse. Or griffin.
Princess Amber Or you could just not learn how to fly.
Prince James Amber, we don't have time to argue about this. We're gonna lose the horses.
Princess Sofia He's right. We've got to hurry, Amber. Please!
Princess Amber Ugh! Fine.
Princess Sofia All right. Heeyah!
Jasper Go, go, go!
Princess Amber Please, don't let me fall again. Oh... Oh, I should not have gotten back on this griffin, Sofia!
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful...
Princess Sofia Excuse me! Where are you all going?
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful...
Princess Sofia Huh? Who's Wendell?
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful.
Princess Sofia What? Amber!
Princess Amber She won't fly straight!
Prince James Yeah, because you're covering her eyes!
Princess Sofia Move your hands, Amber!
Princess Amber Oh! Okay. Sorry. Sorry. I'll grab the wings!
Princess Sofia Not her wings! Grab her scruff!
Princess Amber Right, right. The scruff. I... I forgot.
Princess Sofia Good job, Amber.
Prince James The horses just flew into the clouds!
Princess Sofia We can still catch 'em. Come on, let's go!
Princess Amber Whoa!
Princess Sofia Can you see the horses?
Prince James I can't see anything.
Princess Sofia Where'd they go?
Prince James I don't know.
Princess Amber Where are the horses?
Prince James We lost 'em. Thanks to you.
Princess Amber Don't blame me! I didn't even want to come, remember?
Prince James Well, maybe you shouldn't have, Amber.
Princess Sofia James, stop it. Amber, you can go back if you want.
Princess Amber We should all go back.
Princess Sofia I can't. I have to keep looking.
Princess Amber Haven't we looked enough?
Princess Sofia No. I love Minimus, and I'm not going to stop until he's all right.
Princess Amber He really means that much to you?
Princess Sofia He really does.
Princess Amber Okay. But where would we even look now?
Princess Sofia Uh... I don't know. I guess we could wait until we hear that music again.
Prince James Hey, look! There are flying horses down there!
Princess Amber All right, Opal, looks like I need to learn how to fly.
Prince James And this time we can't lose 'em.
Princess Amber Okay, Opal. Heeyah!
Princess Sofia Jasper, I want to talk to those horses. Can you go any faster?
Jasper I thought you'd never ask!
Horses Wendell is wonderful.
Princess Sofia Where are you going?
Horses Wendell is wonderful.
Princess Sofia Huh? Who's Wendell?
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful.
Princess Sofia Oh! Who is Wendell?
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful...
Jasper Why do they keep saying the same thing over and over?
Horses Wendell is wonderful.
Princess Sofia I don't know! It's like they're all under some kind of spell!
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful...
Jasper What kind of spell?
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful...
Princess Sofia The music! It must be putting them in a trance and leading them somewhere!
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful...
Princess Sofia But where?
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful.
Prince James Looks like they're heading to Tangu! What's that?
Princess Amber Oh, no! Is that what I think it is?
Princess Sofia The Hanging Gardens.
Prince James Look! I think there's someone on top of it!
Horses Wendell is wonderful...
Princess Sofia Is that Wendell?
Princess Amber He looks like a wizard.
Princess Sofia And he's playing a lute! He must have lured the horses here!
Princess Amber But why?
Princess Sofia I don't know. We should get a closer look.
Jasper You got it!
Princess Sofia Whoa! Jasper, wait! I didn't mean this close.
Jasper Sorry, I was just trying to help.
Princess Sofia It's okay. But shh! We don't want Wendell to hear us.
Prince James We can't leave Sofia in there alone.
Princess Amber James, I've been in there before. Once you're inside, the only way out is the top. And that wizard is sitting up there!
Prince James Okay, then you wait out here. I'm going in. Heeyah!
Princess Sofia James!
Prince James You okay, Sof?
Princess Sofia Uh-huh. Through here.
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful.

Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful.
Princess Sofia We have to find our horses. You go that way, I'll look this way.
Horses Wendell is wonderful.
Horse Oh! It's really getting crowded in here!
Horse Hey! Watch where you're swishing that tail!
Horse Oh. Someone has horse breath.
Minimus Yeah, pretty much all of us, I think.
Princess Sofia Minimus? Minimus!
Minimus Sofia? Sofia! Sofia! Excuse me, sorry, sorry, sorry about that, excuse me, pardon me, pardon the tail. Sofia! Sofia?
Princess Sofia Minimus! Oh, I'm so happy you're okay! What happened? How did you all get here?
Minimus We have no idea. I was hoping you would know.
Princess Sofia Well, as far as I can tell, that's Wendell, he's a wizard. And he has lured some kind of magical lute that lured you all here.
Minimus I think I was better off not knowing.
Princess Sofia Don't worry. I'm going to get you all out of here. Right now.
Prince James Sof! You found them! Echo!
Princess Sofia James, come on. We've gotta open that gate.
Princess Amber Ooh, I can't see anything! What if that wizard got Sofia and James? Maybe I should go up and take a peek. Oh... Heeyah!
Princess Sofia Everyone out! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Wendell Fidget Going somewhere?
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful...
Princess Sofia Oh no! His lute is putting them back into a trance!
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful.
Wendell Fidget Well, well, well. What do we have here? A couple of little thieves who thought they could steal my horses?
Princess Sofia Those are our horses!
Wendell Fidget They're my horses now.

There's so much more I'm gonna demand

You're gonna do it Wendell's way
I call the shots and everyone better obey
What I want is what I will get
That's a promise and also a threat

Whoa! Yeah!

Your crazy horses are my little pets now
So you better stay out of my way
'Cause all I gotta do is strum my little lute
And they'll do whatever I say ♪

Jump! Spin! Now do-si-do! Oh yeah!

♪ 'Cause that's Wendell's way
You're gonna do it my way
Or you're gonna pay
That's Wendell's way ♪

Wendell Fidget So there's no way these horses are going anywhere. And neither are you! Ooh, griffins! Bonus presents.
Prince James What do we do now?
Princess Sofia I don't know.
Wendell Fidget Hey!
Princess Amber Take that! And that! And that! And that! Oh! Bullseye!
Wendell Fidget Stop it! Ugh! I hate figs! Ow! Quit it already!
Princess Amber I got a lot more where that came from!
Princess Sofia Amber! Don't let him play his lute!
Princess Amber I'm on it!
Princess Sofia Minimus, lead the horses out. James, we have to free Jasper and Onyx.
Prince James These vines are too thick, Sofia!
Minimus Let us give it a try!
Princess Sofia James, move over!
Saffron Nice chewing!
Minimus Thank you. I knew having a big mouth would come in handy someday.
Princess Amber Oh! I'm running out of fruit!
Prince James I've got an idea. That'll hold ya.
Wendell Fidget There! Now, time to get my horses back.
Horses Wendell is wonderful. Wendell is wonderful...
Princess Sofia We have to stop him once and for all! Jasper, it's time to go, go, go!

Mrs. Fidget Wendell Herman Fidget III!
Wendell Fidget Mother?
Mrs. Fidget Oh! I have been looking for you everywhere, young man! Is my son bothering you?
Princess Sofia Uh, yes.
Wendell Fidget I was just getting myself a few presents.
Mrs. Fidget Oh! Did you steal all these horses, Wendell?
Wendell Fidget It's my birthday, and all you got me was that rubbish lute.
Mrs. Fidget Wendell, you get what you get and you don't get upset. And you certainly don't go and steal the entire world population of flying horses! Now, please apologize to these nice young people.
Wendell Fidget I'm sorry.
Mrs. Fidget Like you mean it.
Wendell Fidget I'm really sorry!
Mrs. Fidget So am I. And I can assure you there will be serious consequences for my son's behavior. You are grounded, young man.
Wendell Fidget Oh. Not again.
Mrs. Fidget And there will be no dessert for a week, no crystal ball-gazing for two weeks, and you'll be spending the rest of the day cleaning out the cauldrons.
Wendell Fidget Not the cauldrons!
Mrs. Fidget Wendell...
Wendell Fidget Yes, Mother.
Princess Sofia Let's go home.
Prince James I'll round up the horses.
Princess Amber I can do it! Heeyah! Onward! Upward! Be free!
Jasper That was so much fun! Let's do it again! Again, again, again, again!
Opal We're never getting him back into the Jewel Room, are we?
Onyx Uh... Nope.
Minimus Thanks for coming after me, Sofia.
Princess Sofia Anything for you, Minimus. Amber, looks like you're almost ready for a derby race.
Princess Amber I am a fast learner, aren't I?
Princess Sofia You know, you really saved us back there.
Prince James Yeah, I didn't know you had it in you.
Princess Amber It's like Sofia said, James. When you love someone, you do whatever it takes to make sure they're okay, even if it's your own brother.
Prince James Ha-ha-ha.
Princess Sofia Oh, Amber...
