Gaston the Ladybird

edit
Ben: Quick! Gaston's coming.
Holly: Gaston! We've come to cheer you up.
Ben: We don't like it when you're sad.
Holly: We're really sorry about rolling you over.
Ben: And riding on your back.
Holly: What's he saying Nanny?
Nanny Plum: Ooh. Gaston says he likes it when you roll him over and ride on his back.
Holly: Oh.
Ben: Oh.
Nanny Plum: Gaston is not sad. In fact, he's very happy. Well, you're going to be even happier now. Take a look at your cave.
[Gaston enters the room. Until, he's howling.]
Holly: Gaston!
[Gaston is crying.]
Nanny Plum: As I said, Ladybirds are never happy.
Holly: Gaston, what's wrong?
[Gaston barks, then cries a bit.]
Nanny Plum: Oh dear.
Holly: Nanny, what did he say?
Nanny Plum: He said he loved his home just as it was, all messy and smelly.
Holly: Oh! Sorry, Gaston.
Ben: Don't worry. We'll make it just the way you like it.
Holly: Yes! We're very good at making things messy.

Holly's Magic Wand

edit
Holly: I'm sure I left my wand here. It's gone! [Holly is crying.]
Ben: Hi, Holly.
Holly: Hi, Ben.
Ben: What's wrong?
Holly: I've lost my wand. I can't do magic anymore.
Ben: Maybe that's a good thing.
Holly: It's not funny! I'm never going to find my wand and I'll be sad forever.
Ben: Cheer up, Holly. I will find my wand.
Holly: How?
Ben: Elves are very good at finding things, and I'm an elf. [blows trumpet]
Holly: Thanks, Ben.

Morning, Noon, and Night

Nanny Plum: That's the cockerel crow, Princess Holly! Time for fairies to get up!

Betty Caterpillar

edit
Holly: Look, Betty Caterpillar is sad.
[Betty is crying.]
Ben: I think she feels a bit left out. [Gaston the Ladybird and Bobby the Bee are having fun flying. Betty is crying.] I know how to cheer her up.
Holly: Oh, good. Go on then, Ben.
Ben: Don't be sad, Betty. Flying isn't everything. Elve's can't fly, and I'm an elf. [blows trumpet]
[Betty is crying.]
Holly: That didn't cheer her up much. [Betty is crying.] Maybe I can make her fly by magic.
Ben: Can you do that?
Holly: Um, I think so.

[Gaston is whining.]
Ben: Never mind, Gaston. Let's all go to the great elf tree instead.
Mr. Elf: Mrs. Elf, that blueberry pie smells delicious.
Mrs. Elf: Yes, Mr. Elf. The secret is to cook it very slowly over 3 days.
Ben: Hello Mum!
Holly: Hello!
Mrs. Elf: Hello Ben, Hello Holly!
Mr. Elf: Ah!, Can't he shake himself outside?
Mrs. Elf: That pie is not for you, Gaston. Now Ben, Gaston should live outside, we live inside.
Ben: Okay, Mum.
Mr. Elf: AAH! Where's the pie gone?
Mrs. Elf: Gaston's eating it!
Holly: We don't know it was Gaston.
Ben: It could have been someone else.
Mrs. Elf: HE'S THE ONLY ONE WITH PIE ON HIS FACE!!!
Mr. Elf: Out, Gaston! I never want to see you again.
[Gaston is whining.]
Ben: Sorry, Gaston.
Holly: You'd better go home.
Mrs. Elf: GO ON, GASTON, OFF YOU GO!
Queen Thistle: Bedtime, Holly! Are you all right, darling?
Holly: I'm a bit sad. Gaston isn't allowed in our houses anymore. [Gaston is howling.] Gaston! Oh, Gaston is all wet and cold.
