[princesses] Princess Power!

[upbeat music playing]

[Bea grunting]

-Anyone missing a ball?
-She did it!

Thanks, Princess Bea!

If you think that was amazing,

wait 'til you hear her perform tonight
at the Blueberry Royal Pageant.

Bea's making her pageant debut

playing our fruitdom's
official instrument...

the Guitarpsichord.

It'll be a royal event for the ages!

Actually, they're the real headliners.
They've got a great dance number.

No, no, Bea. It's your night.

We can't wait to hear Princess Bea play!

See you again at the pageant.
And thanks again for the ball.

We are as excited as they are.

You've been practicing in your room

and keeping your Guitarpsichord debut
a big surprise.

Even from me, the King!

Think you could use my lucky whisk?

No, she could not.

Bea will be wonderful
at the Guitarpsichord, thank you.

She's wonderful at everything she does.

Yup. Wonderful. That's me.

[laughs nervously] See you later.

Actually, I'm terrible!
I've been practicing and practicing,

but I just can't get it.

Good thing I know just the princesses
to call for help.

Princesses! You know how I've got

my big Guitarpsichord debut
at the Blueberry Royal Pageant tonight?

Yes! We can't wait to dress up
in fantabulous outfits and hear you play!

I've never heard
Guitarpsichord music before.

And you won't hear it tonight.

I am the worst at Guitarpsichord.

But the fruitizens and my dads
expect me to be wonderful,

just like every other
Blueberry Royal ever.

So what I'm hearing is
you need princess music lessons

to achieve musical pineapple perfection!

I live music.

Thank you for bringing this problem to us!

We Pinkie Tea Promise
to help those in need.

[all] With our Princess Power,
we'll always succeed!

[upbeat music playing]

To the Crown and Crafterie!

[Fussy shrieks]

-Wow!
-Cool!

This is a Guitarpsichord.

Why do you need so many?

You'll see.

[plays off-tune]

[Fussy shrieks]

[Guitarpsichord snaps]

That's why I brought backup.

Maybe you just don't have the feel
for the instrument yet.

Here. Let me try.

[plays in tune]

[meows]

[purrs]

I thought Guitarpsichord
was only a Blueberry Fruitdom thing.

Where'd you learn to play?

I've never played before.
This is the first time I've ever seen one.

Never? Seriously? Ugh!

I know it seems unfair,
but I've been practicing music for years.

I've read that the Guitarpsichord

is one of the most challenging instruments
to learn.

So, hypothesis!

If Bea started
with the less challenging instrument,

then she could learn to play.

Fantabulous idea!

And I know the perfect one.

The triangle! Just give it a little tap...

[clank] ...and let the music flow.

[clank]

Um, a little more of a little tap.

Okay! More of a tap. I got this.

[loud clank]

Hey! That's not bad!

[clanking loudly]

[Fussy shrieks]

You turned a triangle into a square.
I'm impressed!

Maybe we should try
another instrument. Heh.

Yes! Like the mama bird said
to her fledgling,

"Try, fail, try. That's how we fly."

Ooh! The spoons.

See? [plays spoons]
Gentle, easy, loose grip.

Just play.

Okay. Spoons. Easy. I got this.

Loose grip and...

-[all yelp]
-[Fussy meows]

You know what? Heh. Skip the spoons.

Here's a super simple squeeze horn.

[honks]

[honks horn] Ugh!

I've tried playing gently,
I've tried playing hard,

but I still can't do it!

There's no way I can learn Guitarpsichord
in time for the pageant!

I'm gonna let down all the fruitizens.

No, you won't.

We just need to build your confidence.
Follow me.

Uh, why exactly did we need
our fancy skirts for music practice?

[scoffs] 'Cause we look fantabulous.

Sometimes Teenykins in the wild
achieve success when they dress up...

-[Rita] Whoo!
-...like a peacock spreading his tail

for that extra confidence boost!

Inspiration from nature. I love it.

Also, parrots and mynah birds
can perfectly mimic the sounds they hear.

But first, they have to listen.
Hit it, Miss Fussywiggles!

[upbeat music plays]

Now close your eyes and spin together.

-Okay, Bea! Now play!
-[plays Guitarpsichord loudly]

-[pelican squawks]
-[Rita] Ah!

[Penny] Ah!

Whoa! Ugh!

Ugh!

Guitarpsichord, three. Bea, zero.

But the game's still on.
Time for a science save!

But won't gloves make it harder to play?

Not these!
Your pageant is coming up quick,

so I've created a way for you
to practice hands-on, using Rita's hands.

Huh?

I've wirelessly connected
your gloves to Rita's.

Whatever movement she makes
will be transferred to you.

The gloves are like training wheels.
You'll learn with Rita's help.

-Then tonight, you can play on your own.
-Bonus, the gloves look bedazzlous!

Watch them in action.

Get out!

How do we start?

-[both playing Guitarpsichords]
-I'm... I'm doing it!

You sound wonderful!

Hold up! Uh, what is happening?

Aah!

I don't know! It's not me!

-It's Fussy!
-[Bea] Aah!

[Fussy meows]

-Fussy, stop! Give me that glove!
-[Bea] Aah!

Ah.

[Bea grunting] Whoa!

[Penny] We can't get to her!

Mr. Scrumples! You can reach her!

Go!

-[meows]
-[squeaks]

[Bea] Whoa!

Ugh! I'm running out
of Guitarpsichords and time!

[sighs] I don't get it.

Usually, I'm good at things right away!

I'm always, "Got it! Locked in! Let's go!"

But not this! Why not this?

I'm sorry, Bea.
I really thought we could help.

Me too. But true story,

it's a scientific fact
not everyone is good at everything,

no matter how hard we work at it.

That's true.
No matter how many art books I read,

every hamster I draw
looks like a furry blob.

No matter how hard I try to pogo stick,
my pogo is a no-go.

And I know this will be
super spectaculously hard to believe,

but I can't cross-stitch.

-Seriously?
-Shh! We don't talk about it.

But we can! And we should!
Because it's okay.

Exactly. We all have things
we're not great at.

You're still an amazing princess

who's really incredible
at lots and lots of things,

like sports, and puzzles,
and any kind of race.

I guess.

Oh! I know another thing
you're great at. Trying!

You've been trying
Guitarpsichord for months.

And even though you weren't great
right away, you never gave up.

That's something to be proud
as a peacock of.

Maybe. But my dads expect me
to be wonderful at Guitarpsichord.

They've been telling the whole fruitdom.

They'll all be disappointed in me.

[alarm clock ringing]

That's it. Time to face the music.

Or lack thereof.

[cheerful music playing]

[cheering and applause]

Whoo! Thank you.

And now I'm proud to introduce
Princess Beatrice Blueberry

making her pageant debut on...

[both] The Guitarpsichord!

[audience applauding]

Um... [chuckles nervously]

Hi, everybody.

I know you're all waiting
for a rocking performance, but, um,

nothing's more important to me
than honoring our Blueberrian traditions.

But no matter how much I practice,
I'm still not good at the Guitarpsichord.

But I am doing the best I can.

And I want everyone to know
what my friends taught me.

It's okay to not be great at something,
so long as you're trying your best.

And now, here's my best.

Gently. Gently.

[strums Guitarpsichord]

That's it. That's all I've got.

But I want you to know I gave it my all.

It's all I've got.

But wait until you hear it
as part of this song.

With the fantabulous
Four Fruitdom Princesses!
