01x28 - Another Stone in the Path

[bunniefuu]

CREATED BY CRIS MORENA

MARGARITA
MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

He loves me
He loves me not

I love him a lot
With all I've got

In every petal
I see his face

Telling me he loves me
He loves me

He loves me

He loves me
He loves me not

We'll need to ramp up production.

The event is a hit,
and we're selling out.

You're the people's princess, Daisy.
You're helping a lot of people.

Thanks to Pipe.

If it weren't for him,
I'd still be in my bubble.

That's the downside of being a princess.
We live in an unreal world.

Crazy, isn't it?

Merlin and Petra
came to escape from commitment and...

-They're getting married.
-Yes.

It must be hard for you,
being royals.

-Sooner or later, you...
-Let me guess.

Ada said I need to marry a prince

to claim the throne.

Didn't she?

-No.
-No?

She said that, but she's not wrong.

So, what she said is true.

No, Pipe.

I have no obligation whatsoever
to royal traditions.

I'm a princess in theory,

and my father didn't marry a princess,

I won't marry a prince.

Would you date a commoner then?

A what? A commoner?

-No one says that.
-Yes.

Of course.

I only date who I like.

It doesn't matter
if they're rich or poor.

Besides, there's this guy I like,

and he's not a prince at all.

He's the opposite of that.

His name is Fach.

Fach?

-Fach?
-Yes, Fach.

Is that even a real name?

Where did he come from?

I don't know. People call him Fach.

-Fach?
-That's right.

We're still getting to know each other,
so don't tell anyone.

Why are we the only species

that stumbles twice on the same stone?

Please, Jano. How many times
have I done you the favor?

Fine, I'll do it for you.
I don't want any romance.

Look.

-Is it them?
-So?

Forget about Romeo, Juli.

It's his loss.
Give the blind date a chance.

-Hi, girls.
-Hey.

-How's it going?
-Hey.

-What's up?
-Should we grab a drink?

-Sure
-They're working.

No, I'm not working.

I'm volunteering. Just helping out.

-Shall we go?
-Go on. I'll catch up.

All right.

Looks like someone has a date.

So Romeo and Juliet
do get a happy ending.

You're right and wrong about that.

Which one do you want to know?

Yes, I'm tired of insisting on Romeo.

He treats me badly
and makes me look foolish.

So who's your date?

That guy.

His name is Jano. Wish me luck.

One stumble is normal,
two can be ignored,

but three, four,
dozens of stumbles on the same stone?

That's when we need
to ask ourselves a few questions.

I swear I love both,

but I lost control
and don't know how to fix it.

Be honest. We've talked about this.

Honesty is the only basis
for any relationship.

Without honesty there's no love,
and without love...

-There's nothing.
-There's nothing.

You know things.
So who's the lucky girl?

You can tell me. We're partners now.

-A gentleman never tells.
-Yamila.

-No, I guarantee not.
-Ada?

Ada? Seriously?

Yes, Ada.

-Ada?
-You're not...

How about solving your problems
with your girlfriends?

If it's not Yamila or Ada...

No, it can't be.

No. Delfina Santillan?

It can't be.
She's a goddess and you're...

No, finish the sentence.
She's a goddess and I'm what?

-What comes next?
-It's...

Nothing.

I won't make it.
Take a rain check?

Are you done?

-Did you talk to the hippie?
-Spit it out.

Now what?

Well, the hacker might
or might not be connected to Margarita.

She might or might not
be part of the plan.

He cares about her.

That's why he asked you
not to eliminate her.

So?

It doesn't matter
if they're accomplices.

We have something he wants.

He may have secrets, but we have...

Her.

Are you suggesting we kidnap her?

I wouldn't use that word. Isolate her.

It's lighter and more poetic.

When we're wandering
down a street full of stones,

there's nothing to do.

The stone is still there.

There's no helmet strong enough,
the fall is inevitable.

I'm not understanding your metaphors.

I don't get the idea.

-Cut to the chase, please.
-Agreed.

Good.

So, A is with B, but...

No. No letters.

Name and surname. Please.

All right, but your lips must be sealed.

I'm with Juan.

With Rey. We're kind of...

-Dating. Go on.
-How do you know?

No.

No. Not dating.

We're hanging out.

But there's also Merlin Pietro,

who parades around me
in a royal carriage,

and talks all mushy to me
and leaves me like melted chocolate.

But what does he want now?
Isn't he with that Petra girl?

No. That is a lie.

It is all a plan
to protest against the monarchy.

But what about you?

-He says he loves me.
-I see.

And let's say my eyes do light up
when I see him.

Yes, but I'm also Reyatized, Ada.

-I don't know.
-No.

You don't know who to choose.

No. And I have to keep the secret,
and I hate that.

Margarita.

Could you step aside?
You're right in front of the camera.

-What camera?
-What camera?

The camera I set up
to broadcast whatever we want.

It's on the Hangar site.
It's a showcase.

Hold on, friend.
What camera are you talking about?

-It's live.
-Where is it?

There. See?

There I go,

stumbling again
on the cancel culture stone.

ANOTHER STONE IN THE WAY

I just met him, but we talk every day.

I'll need your help
to sneak out to see him.

You're into Mei, right?

No. She has a boyfriend.

True. But it's okay, Pipe.

You'll find someone. If not, try Finder.

I'll get ready for the show.
Later, I'll help you with your profile.

-What are you doing here?
-Are you in a sad music video?

I am. Why deny it?

It's just what I needed.
I want to join.

Why? What happened?

I got canceled again.

So many promises
Lost in the past

I'm drowning
In memories so vast

I built a castle
Of dreams in the sky

But it quickly crumbled
As time passed by

-What about you?
-Mei.

She unfollowed, silenced and blocked me.

And I can't format what I feel.
I love her.

But she loves you too.

She must have a fliquiti.
She's mega Ottonized.

I'll call her. Come on.

Done.

Hello, Mar. What's up?

She ignores me, but answers your calls?

Hi, Mei. How are you?

We were at the event, and I said,

"Mei's horoscope tent is missing."

-Did something happen?
-No.

I'm just busy.

And is everything okay with Otto?

I'm just asking because he's so sad
he looks like a zombie.

And I heard it's because you said
you don't like him anymore.

Stay out of it, Mar.

But you're the perfect couple.

He's so Gemini and you're so...

Mei, can we talk?

When I saw you
In that enchanted wood

A little elf whispered,
"He's your prince, understood?"

Like magic it seemed
You lit up my days

You brightened my gray days

Excuse me.

-What's wrong?
-I'm so dumb.

It's my ticket to the sad clip.
Make way.

But it all ended
In so many ways

Nothing is left
Between you and me

Like a fairy tale ends

Love stole our glee

Please
Where are you?

You're my missing part

I keep on waiting
You'll return to my heart

One day you'll come back

One day

Right to my heart

It's him. Answer.

-Hello.
-Good morning.

It's nice to hear your voice.
Are you calmer now?

I don't have time
for your threats and nonsense.

Just say what you want, or I'm done.

Feeling so alone

Life's pulse within
Has grown

Just breathing
Waiting for you, my love

I can see exactly what happens here,

whenever I want.

I know,
but let's reflect on what they did.

It's amazing. Isn't it?

It could be a showcase for their talent,

but also a window to reveal some truths.

What truths do you mean?

Go on. What's stopping you?

Be careful what you wish for.

As hard as you try to hide it,
I can feel your fear.

What's your plan?
Call me every day to threaten me?

If you wanted something,
you'd have told me.

And miss all of this?

No, I told you.

I'm your conscience, and I'll stay here,

for every year, every day, every hour,

you stole from Margarita's life.

Get ready, Delfina.

It's going to be a long,
slow punishment.

I love you, Única!

You have no idea how happy I am
to be part of this noble cause.

Please, keep donating.

-Única!
-Única!

Única, take a picture with us.

Please, I swear we donated.

Sure, as many as you want.

-Here it is.
-Okay.

Let's do it.

Smile.

Will you release more songs?

-Hold on.
-No.

No. Let me explain.

You know when you have
a fairy godmother,

and then you talk too much?

It's bad.
But that doesn't mean it's all true.

-What are you talking about?
-What do you mean?

I don't know.
I said nothing, but you said...

No, I'm saying everyone must be talking
about what I said on the stream spot.

That's weird.
The online cancellation hasn't started.

The live stream hadn't started.
It just started now.

I see.

It started now. Right now?

Why? Did you say something?

Did I? No.

I said a bunch of nonsense. You know me.

I get it. It's about this.

What's that?

Stop the drama.
It's today's afternoon schedule.

You're singing with Merlin.
You could've told me.

No, I'm not singing with Merlin.
What are you talking about?

I don't get it.

I asked to duet,
and instead of saying yes,

you went and teamed up with Merlin?

-I don't get you.
-No.

Listen to me, Rey.

I didn't team up with anyone.

I didn't choose a song or anything.

I don't know where that came from.

I don't get you.

-Wait.
-Sure.

Answer it.
I bet it's Merlin about your big show.

Get ready. We're going on a trip.

I signed us up to sing "Two Eyes",

and that's all I want to do with you.

Sing and go far.

I super, hyper, mega swear.
It wasn't Merlin.

-No?
-Merlin and I are nothing.

Actually, it was Rayan.

He's my ex-boyfriend,
who just got back from India.

-Rayan?
-Exactly.

And once again,
I stumble on the same lying stone.

How I hate lies.

For the lady and the gentleman.

You buy, you help,
and you look good with your love.

-No, thanks.
-Not today.

I'm going for a walk. We'll talk later.

Hey.

Are you giving me a flower,
or are you going to keep hiding?

I'm not hiding.

But I don't want to upset my fans.

They're super jealous. You know?

A flower for the fairest.

How can someone have such bad luck?

I do.

And Juliet's been into you
for 28 episodes.

-But I did nothing.
-That's why she gave up.

But I?

I thought I'd finally found love.

They're like denim and cotton,
an unbeatable match.

If you mean compatibility, yes.

They do have a lot in common.

I don't know much about this,
but there's no one like Zeki.

They're so talented.

Of course!
But Romeo is talented and handsome.

-And Zeki isn't?
-I'm not saying that.

To me, Zeki's art is innovative,
and original.

It's so clear that they have
so much style.

There's nothing to do.
We'll be single forever.

-What's with that face?
-Join us.

We're the club of hearts
with little holes.

I can't take it anymore.

What's the problem? Does it work?

It works, but on its own time.

Like someone I know.

Excuse me. Can we talk, Delfina?

Not now.

I'm busy. We'll talk later.

Please, it's important.

Okay.

-I'll be right back.
-Right.

Is it the contest?

No, everything's fine.

So what is it?

Are you serious?

We've been talking for days,

and when we agree to meet,
you just ghost me?

I didn't ghost you.

I asked for a raincheck,

because something important came up,
but I told you.

And that's fine with you? So rude.

Rude? That's just me.

-I don't...
-Did you get back with him?

No.

I'll be honest with you.
I don't want to get hurt or waste time.

I don't know what's going on
between you two,

but I'm pretty sure
he gave you a hard time.

If I were you, I'd stay out of this.

That's none of your business,
and I'm not with him,

so there's no point discussing this.

You're free to repeat
whatever story you want,

but be honest with me.

-I'm not your toy.
-My toy?

You think I'm playing with you?

I did want to go out with you.

But something really important happened,
so I had to stay here.

-But I wanted to go out.
-Was I clear?

-You were.
-Great.

Wait, Salo.

Salo!

What did you do?
You cut my performance with Mar?

What's wrong?
Did you forget how to talk?

-Tell me why.
-To fix the mistake.

Even if it hurts,
Mar doesn't want to sing with you.

Come here, Mar.

Tell this clown that today
you'll sing with me.

Spare me, this isn't a palace.
You don't make the rules.

Tell him, Mar.

Why are you so obsessed with me?
Why do you take everything from me?

I was asked to come
because I was on the cover!

And you're too nice to say no?

Leave me alone! You'll pay for this!

What's wrong, Única? Help me!

-I'm not helping you.
-What's your damage?

Have you lost it?

First you argue with Camila,
and now with me?

Mind your own life.

Focus on your love life.
You need to.

You're out of line. What's wrong?

Did you realize your sister is cooler,
more talented,

and more loved than you?

Stop. What is this?

It's over. Cancel yours.

Everything's ready. The music is set.

Just skip it. Who cares? Done.

Easy like letting criminals in?

-Stop it.
-You want a punchline?

Today I sing with her,
but I'll sing with you whenever.

I'd love to,
but today Mar sings with me.

She likes my ballads, not your music.

That's enough.

I'm sick of this testosterone battle.
I'm not singing with either of you.

It's over.

The villain role suits you,
but it's so vintage.

Stop it, Zeki.

-You're full of hate.
-Shut up.

All of you. Let's sing.

-Sing what?
-We're a band, so we're singing.

Let's go.

Be clear with him.

We're cut from the same cloth,
a perfect match.

Shut your mouth.
Who asked you anything?

-Did you get it?
-Call.

-Hello.
-Hey.

I hate when people hang up on me.
How do I save your number?

Delfina, are you into tech now?

You're slow, but determined.

Yeah. If only you can call me,
it's boring.

I'd rather call anytime I want,
so I won't miss you.

Fair enough,
but tell your guys not to try anything.

They won't be able to track me.

Don't worry,
I wasn't that eager to see you anyway.

He hung up.

-He wasn't expecting that.
-No.

We need to keep playing with him
while I handle the rest.

Great.

I'll take care of what I've to do
and you take care of the other thing.

-The other thing?
-Exactly.

Can we talk?

He blocked me?

We're special fairies, you see?
So unique, so free

No magic spells
Just signs we send

Tricks we try
Not all transcend

In love

I'm bold

I live in angst

So happy

I'm still angry

We are the fairies
You believe

EmotiFairies

We are great allies
Of your heart's devotion

We are your soul
Your spirit, and your emotion

Call us, and we're here
Ready to dream

Call us
And we're here

Ready to heal and beam

We are great allies
Of your heart's devotion

We are your soul
Your spirit, your emotion

Call us
And we're here

Ready to dream

Call us
And we're here

Ready to heal
Wounds unseen

Wonderful.

Thank you all for coming,
and to those watching as well.

With every purchase and view,
you help us raise more.

So keep sharing with friends
and family, and donate.

More people are coming.
Want to hear another one?

-Yes!
-Yes!

Of course. Let's go with "Fliquiti".

Speaking of that,
Mei couldn't be here today.

So this one's for you, Mei.

Come on, everyone sing and dance.

A perfect word
So bright

It heals
And makes things right

A magic word
That makes my heart take flight

An incredible word

That turns dreams into light

A word from the soul
That feels just right

If something makes
Your soul feel strained

If it makes your joy feel drained

If it makes you want to yell

Shout it out and break the spell

Everything will start to turn

Fliqui, fliquiti

Shout it out
And joy will return

Flic, flic, flic, fliquiti
Don't delay

Mei, darling.

Look at me, please.

Mei, look at me.

Hold on. I'll get the doctor.

You'll find your way
Somehow

You'll find your way
Somehow

You'll find your way
Somehow

Nice band,
but it wasn't on the schedule.

Why do I bother organizing?
Anyway, it's Otto's turn.

Otto, it's your turn.

I know, but I can't sing.
I have a knot in my throat.

I know you're sad, but singing helps.

It's not just that.
It's much more than that.

It's your turn, Otto.

Get up there.

Yamila, move to the next.
He'll go later.

Look at me.
Tell me exactly what you're feeling.

I don't know. It's a really bad feeling.

It's bad. As if...

-I don't know.
-Right.

I get it. We have to pay attention
to our gut feelings.

I also feel something's up.

But what can I do?

I went to her house,
and she didn't even open the door.

Then go back there and knock
until they open.

Okay. Thanks.

Go.

Mar, Otto left.

-Sing with me?
-She said she won't sing with you.

Rey, with all due respect...

After a thousand falls,

we get tired of stumbling
on the same stone.

Enough. I'm sick of both of you.

I know part of it is my fault,
but I'm done.

It's like two gorillas
fighting over a banana.

Sorry, you're right. I just...

Yes, I know.

And I'm happy you decided
to follow your heart.

It was very brave and sweet of you,

but it's a bit late.

Now I'm with Rey.

And you, acting like you own me,

don't fool yourself,
because I don't like that.

It annoys me that you're fighting
as if I'm a trophy.

If you want to sing, sing.

Together, alone, however you want.

But I'll sing when and with whom I want.

Is that clear?

To move forward,
you need to jump over the old stone.

Leave it behind.

You were amazing.

You're so brilliant. It's impressive.

You can see
you're in control of everything.

Thanks. But in this band,
everyone has a voice.

We're a band.
I don't want to take all the credit.

You're so sweet,
so humble, so inspiring.

-I want to take you somewhere.
-Where?

It's a surprise.

I'm not ignoring you, babe,
but I don't want to upset the fans.

That's why we agreed
to keep our thing secret.

Okay, but promise me
we'll have ice cream later, as a date.

Sure, babe. Don't worry.

For the fairest.

See? I told you.

-He said the same thing to both.
-I'm shocked.

He's a total red flag.

Another trash boy, girl.

But with us...

-Nobody plays.
-Nobody plays.

Hey, guys.

I'm Romeo,
an artist on the autism spectrum.

That's Petra, the princess of Prudovkia.

I thought I liked her, but no.

I think I've found the perfect girl,
and I want to say something to her.

But first, I'll turn my back,
because I'm shy.

Juli, after thorough investigation,

I found out you like insects,
plants, and rodents.

Me too, but some insects scare me.

Juli, Romeo's sending you a message.

What?

We also share a love of books,
and we both hate orange.

And on Tuesdays,
you go to a bar dressed as an elf.

I think it's silly,

but I respect you,
just like you respect my routine.

Because of all that,
our compatibility is 87 percent.

I don't know
what your compatibility with Jano is,

but ours is quite high.

So if your invite still stands,
I accept.

Sorry, I have to go.

Sure, Juli. Go ahead.

Thank you all so much.
Don't forget to donate.

I do want to go out with you.

It's inevitable
to stumble on some stones.

But what matters is
what we do with those stumbles.

Hey, it's been a while.

Yeah. We've both been busy.

I mean, no.

I spent the day
pretending not to, but yes.

What do you mean?

Pretending I don't care, but I do care.

I don't understand anything.

I don't know what you want.

I don't get if you come here
for the girls or for me.

Not sure if you even know.

But I know what I want,

and I'm done
pretending and staying quiet.

Because closets are for clothes,
not feelings.

I like you.

I really like you.
It's okay if you don't feel the same.

Just tell me, and that's it.

So, hi. My name's Zeki.

And I like you.

We can choose to keep stumbling

or use those stones to build bridges.

Sweetie, talk to me. Please.

Talk to me, please.

No.

No!

No, stop! Mei!

Mei!

I'm surprised you joined
the Thistle band.

-I thought you didn't like...
-I already explained.

Keep friends close,
and enemies even closer.

I'll keep singing
and being the best at everything.

Well, well, well.

What's with everyone not following
the schedule today?

That was all cute,
but now it's time for the auction.

I want to bring up
our magazine's goddess, Camila.

Can you explain this nonsense

of putting her on stage
as if she belonged?

Camila is amazing. Everyone loves her.

And you have no idea
how much she sells, darling.

Hi, everyone.

These are some of Delfy's
most iconic dresses.

Designed by Catalino, of course.

And I wanted to...

With what we've raised so far,
we can buy the fridge they needed.

With the auction,
we can buy the oven.

Nice.

-A lot of people showed up.
-Yeah.

But I didn't see Fach.

He lives far away,
but he'll be here soon.

Where did you meet him?

In the park.
I was sad because of Mar and Merlin.

He saw me crying and came over.

In the end, what they say is true.

When one door closes, a window opens.

Speaking of him.

I'll show you the chat,
and you tell me if there's chemistry...

-No.
-What?

I don't want to. We're not friends.

Fach, I'll talk to you in a bit.

What do you mean?

-Are you joking?
-No.

I mean, I'm your friend,

but I don't want to be anymore
because I like you.

And if you don't like me, that's fine.

But I can't just be a friend,
much less a confidant.

At some point,
you have to do things differently,

choose a new path, jump high,
swim across.

Are you going to call me all the time?

What do you think?

That you can mess with my life,
with my Magnus,

that you can keep me up all night,
but I can't have fun?

Do you have something to say?

You never know.
But if I were you, I'd stay alert.

-Someone's in trouble.
-Thanks a lot, Delfy.

-Of course.
-My bladder was about to burst.

-No way.
-I swear.

So, I decided to buy some sandwiches.
Do you want one?

-No, thanks.
-Sure?

-I bought a ton.
-I don't want any.

-I love eating them.
-No way.

I love them, especially when I'm hungry.

You know what makes me hungry?

Surprises.

Are we going to get stuff for the event?

No, the event's almost over.

Now we're going somewhere else.

I said it would be a surprise,
and I won't spoil it.

All right.

Never shout "Eureka"
after jumping over a stone,

because life can throw more
of all sizes and colors.

Checkmate, Thistlebug.
