Speaker Dialogue
Princess Camila This is the moment I've been waiting for since school started. Our first sorcery class.
Princess Layla Whoa, that's a cool spell, Camila. I don't know any spells yet. I mean, I read a bunch of spell books over the summer, but I haven't tried any. I hope sorcery isn't too hard and that the teacher is nice.
Princess Sofia Oh, don't worry. Our sorcery teacher is the best.
Prince Zane Really? Who is it?
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh. Good morning, class. I'm your sorcery teacher, Cedric the Great. Or if you prefer, Cedric the Sensational.
Princess Sofia Hi, Mr. Cedric.
Cedric the Sorcerer Hello, Sofia. Now, as some of you know and all of you should know, I am also the royal sorcerer of Princess Sofia's kingdom, Enchancia.
Princess Camila I knew that.
Princess Layla I didn't. I better write all this down.
Cedric the Sorcerer But I have carved out time in my busy schedule to teach you the art of sorcery. Behold! With a magic spell, you can make wonderous things happen. Or, stop things from happening.
Princess Layla Wow, he really is a great sorcerer.
Princess Sofia I know, right?
Cedric the Sorcerer Now, there is so much for you to learn. But first I want to see what you already know. So, we're going to have a little show-and-tell with magic. Or, as I like to call it, a show-and-spell.
Princess Layla Wait. You want us to show you magic?
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, we certainly don't need to test your listening skills, do we? After tea time, you'll all come back to class and present your best magic spell. I challenge you to amaze me.
Princess Layla I can't believe we have to show him a spell before he's taught us one. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Princess Sofia You don't know any spells at all?
Princess Layla No. I mean, I've done lots of enchanted gardening, but it's not really the same thing.
Princess Camila I can teach you a spell.
Princess Layla Really? What kind of spell?
Prince Zane Ooh, how about this one? Sugarino Cupcakio! Pepper!
Pepper Who knew magic could taste so delicious?
Princess Camila Hmm, what about a floating spell?
Princess Layla That sounds perfect, but what should I float?
Pepper May I suggest cupcakes?
Princess Sofia Oh, Pepper, how would you like to take a magical ride up in the air?
Pepper That depends on how many cupcakes are up in the air with me.
Princess Camila And then you say, Floatissimo as you flick your wand at Pepper. Got it?
Princess Layla I think so.
Pepper I'm ready for launch.
Princess Layla Time to do my first magic spell ever. Okay, here we go, Layla. Gotta get this right. Floatissimo!
Pepper Is her wand broken or something?
Princess Sofia No. She just needs to be more calm. Layla, just take a deep breath and tell the wand what to do.
Princess Layla Okay. Floatissimo.
Pepper Whoa! I am floating! I am floating!
Princess Sofia Is he supposed to stop going up at some point?
Princess Camila Oh, yes. He was only supposed to go to about here.
Princess Layla Huh?
Princess Camila But it's good for your first try. Great job!
Princess Layla It doesn't feel like a great job. Did I flick the wand too hard? Did I say the spell too fast? How do I bring him down?
Princess Sofia First, you have to stay calm or you'll break the spell.
Princess Layla What!
Pepper Hey, is this a falling spell now? Hope you have a catching spell.
Princess Layla I gotta save him.
Princess Sofia Layla, you're flying!
Princess Layla I'm what? Are those... butterfly wings? I can fly. I can fly! Whoa. Whoa! How do I...
Pepper Thanks for the ride, Princess.
Prince Zane Where'd those wings come from?
Princess Layla Huh. Well, my bracelet glowed right before they appeared. Oh.
Princess Sofia Where'd you get it?
Princess Layla My mother gave it to me after she was crowned queen and I became a princess.
Princess Sofia Same with me. I got my amulet from my dad when I became a princess.
Princess Layla Too bad it can't help me do a better floating spell.
Princess Sofia Layla, you can fly now! That's what you should show Mr. Cedric.
Princess Layla You're right! It's the most amazing thing ever. But I don't even know how I did it or how to control it.
Princess Sofia You just need to practice and we'll help you.
Princess Camila For sure.
Prince Zane Whatever you need.
Princess Layla Thank you. But first, I have to figure out how to make the wings pop out.
Princess Sofia How did you do it last time?
Princess Layla I was wishing I could somehow go up and catch Pepper. So, maybe I just need to think of flying. Let's fly.

♪ I'm a brand-new princess
And one day I'm gonna rule
So I need to do well in sorcery class
At royal magic school
This new power's perfect
To show I've got what it takes
But first I've got to learn to fly and stay calm
Don't make any mistakes

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Now
Now that I can fly
I've gotta aim high
High into the sky
I've gotta aim high
Gotta swoop and soar so free
To show the magic in me
Oh, now
Now that I can fly
I've gotta aim high

Unsteady, not ready, kinda sweaty
'Cause it takes me time when I learn new things
So how am I supposed to fly in the sky
On the same day that I just got these wings
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Now
Now that I can fly
I've gotta aim high
Wave the ground goodbye
I've gotta aim high
Gotta swoop and soar so free
To show the magic in me
Whoa, now
Now that I can fly
I've gotta aim high
Aim high ♪

I think I'm getting the hang of turning. But, how do I land? Down, wings, down. Whoa! This is not down! Why won't my wings listen to me?

Princess Sofia Just be calm.
Princess Layla I'm too freaked out to be calm.
Princess Sofia We're coming, Layla.
Princess Camila Don't worry, I know a drying spell.
Princess Layla Ugh, I thought I had it figured out.
Princess Sofia You just need to work on the landing is all. Try keeping it simple. Fly up, go left, right, then land.
Princess Layla Good idea.
Princess Sofia And try to stay calm this time.
Princess Layla Okay. Let's try this again. Fly up, go left, go right... and land. Whoa! No!
Princess Sofia It's okay. I'm sure you'll get it next time.
Princess Layla What's the point? I'm never gonna learn how to do it in time, and then I'll have to do some other spell and I don't know any other spells. How am I even gonna get down from the top of the castle?
Princess Sofia Layla, you can do this, but first you have to calm down.
Princess Layla How?
Princess Sofia When I'm really frustrated, I take a deep breath... and think of something that makes me happy. That helps me feel calm.
Pepper You know what? You should think of me, Layla. I make everyone happy.
Princess Sofia Only I can understand what you're saying, Pepper.
Pepper I'm a puppercorn, Sofia. I don't need words.
Princess Layla Aww! Pepper makes me happy. Okay, thinking of Pepper. Taking a deep breath... feeling happy, feeling Calmer.
Pepper Told ya.
Princess Layla Okay, here we go. Fly up, go left, go right... and land.
Princess Sofia You did it.
Princess Layla I did. You were right. Staying calm really helped.
Prince Zane Ooh, now that you know how to fly, you should try a loop-de-loop. That would really impress Mr. Cedric.
Princess Layla Okay. Yeah. One loop-de-loop coming right up. Oh, this is harder than it... Ugh.
Prince Zane Sorry, Layla. No one should ever listen to me. It never ends well.
Princess Layla It's okay, Zane. Oh, it's time for class.
Princess Sofia Just stay calm and do the moves you know.
Princess Layla Got it.
Princess Camila And no loop-de-loop.
Princess Layla Definitely no loop-de-loop.
Cedric the Sorcerer Excellent, Prince Haruki, you made a trumpet. Now you just need to learn how to play it. Hmm? Next up, Princess Sofia.
Princess Sofia Mutato rubio!
Cedric the Sorcerer An oldie, but a goodie. Well done, Princess Sofia.
Princess Sofia Thank you, Mr. Cedric.
Cedric the Sorcerer Now, last but hopefully not least, Princess Layla.
Princess Layla Time to fly. Fly up, go left, go right... and land.
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, if you thought that would amaze me... you're absolutely correct! Oh, can you do another trick? Oh! Perhaps a loop-de-loop?
Princess Layla I... uh... Gotta calm down, Layla. Take a deep breath. Now think of something that makes you happy. Or someone. Feeling happy, feeling calm.
Cedric the Sorcerer Poseidon's pumpkins! I have never seen such a magical display from a student. Princess Layla, I proclaim your magic the best in class!
Princess Sofia Go, Layla!
Prince Zane Layla!
Prince Devin Hmph.
Princess Layla Thank you, Mr. Cedric. I couldn't have done it without my friends.
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, I'm sure your friends would love to see a little more magic. As would I.
Princess Layla Really? Okay. Let's fly.
