[Sofia] "Give It a Twirl."

And this one's called
the Double Dip McTwisty Twirl.

I've been practicing it
for weeks,

but sometimes I have a little trouble
with the catch. [gasps]

Oh! Hey! Watch where
you point that thing.

Oh, Clover.
This is a magic scepter.

It can create magical
pictures like this.

Flower.

Oh, yeah,
and you're twirling it because...

Because today is the first scepter
twirling squad practice,

and it's really important
to Miss Nettle.

So I want to do a good job.
Flower!

Whoa, you keep
twirling like that

and you'll make
Miss Nettle proud for sure.

Hey everyone. Zarya, I didn't know
you were joining the squad.

[deadpan]
Of course, I live to twirl.

I've never seen her
so excited.

[Princess Camila]
Excuse me, Farhad.

[yelps] Sorry.

All this twirling's making me
really dizzy.

Um, Camila, we're supposed to twirl
the scepters, not ourselves.

Oh. That'll make it so much easier
to march in a straight line.

Whoa. Is that the Double Dip
McTwisty Twirl?

Sure is. Scepter twirling
is a big deal in my kingdom,

so I've been practicing
with my mom for weeks.

Me too. Should we do
the trick together?

Welcome to the Charmswell
Magic Scepter Twirling Squad,

my twirly-whirly wonders.

Before we begin,
you need to know two things.

One, you'll be putting
on a parade for the school next week.

And two, the squad
will need a leader.

I thought you were
the leader, Miss Nettle.

Oh, no,
I'm the head of the school.

My job is to sit
and watch the parade

while you make me look good.

Now, the leader of the squad
is going to need this.

The lead scepter.

[all exclaiming]

The squad leader stands
in front of the squad

and uses the lead scepter
to tell the other scepters what to do.

Like this. Bubbles.

So, who wants
to be squad leader?

-[both] I do!
-[laughs]

Love the enthusiasm, girls.
But there can only be one.

-What if we lead together?
-That's fine by me.

But there's only
one lead scepter.

That's okay. We can share it.

Yes, we can take turns
passing it back and forth.

If that's what you want,
go for it.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got a magic mirror to stare into.

Wait, you're not gonna
teach us the moves for the parade?

[laughs] No, that's the job
of the leader.

Sorry, leaders. Ta-ta.

-[Sofia] Okay then.
-[Princess Layla] Let's twirl. Whoa.

So, here's what I'm thinking
we can do for the parade.

We twirl, leap, point,
and make the image appear.

That's neat, but I was thinking
we might do something a little different.

-Sure thing. Here you go.
-Instead of twirl, leap, point,

what if we did
twirl, spin, point? What do you think?

That's good,
but I like my way better.

[both] What do you think?

They're both great.
I'm just happy we're twirling

the scepters
and not ourselves.

Hmm, maybe we should
decide the moves later.

Okay, let's figure out
what images we're going to make instead.

[Sofia] Great.

I have an idea.

What if we do a flower?

Flower.

-Cool.
-Pretty.

-Sweet.
-Meh.

That's nice, but I might have
something even nicer.

Butterfly!

-Love it.
-Aw.

-Sweeter.
-Meh.

Bye, flower!

Oops. Sorry, Sofia.
But the butterfly was pretty, right?

Sure. But I think the flower
is a wee bit prettier.

But imagine how pretty it will be
when we make a whole row of butterflies.

Almost as pretty as when we all
make a whole row of flowers.

Here, I'll show you.

Ready, everyone? Follow me.

Now twirl, leap,
point, flower.

-So what do you think?
-I think it's my turn.

Here we go.
Twirl, spin, point, butterfly.

I think it's pretty clear

-which one we should choose.
-[both] Mine.

You know,
whenever my parents disagree

on how to rule our kingdom,
they put some music on

and calmly figure out
how to work together.

Great idea, Zane. We'll see how
everything looks when music is playing.

-That's not what I meant.
-I'll go get the band.

I'll go with you.

-[♪ upbeat music plays]

this is the way to do it.

[whooshing]

-[all exclaiming]
-What is that?

It looks like some kind
of glitter twister.

-That's not good.
-Did we do that?

[Zarya] Yes.

You did that.

-[Zane] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-[all] Whoa!

[Zarya] Oh. Oh, no.

-[both gasp]
-Hey, you two.

Now that the scepter's broken,
maybe you can stop fighting

and try to find a way
to get us down. No rush, though.

Okay, maybe a little rush.

We've got to save them
from that glitter twister.

-But how?
-Um...

Well, that twister
is just scepter magic,

so we could make one
of your butterflies,

and its wings could blow
the twister away like it did to my flower.

Yeah, that could totally work.

But first we need to fix
the lead scepter.

Remember that Fix-It spell
Mr. Cedric taught us in sorcery class?

Maybe that can
put it back together.

Lumendo.

It's not working.

You know how when we were both tugging on
the lead scepter, the magic got stronger?

Maybe if we both
cast the Fix-It spell together,

that magic will be stronger.

[gasps] I think you're right.
Let's try it.

[both] Lumendo!

[electricity crackling]

Oh, look. They're finally
working together.

Good. Maybe they'll do
something to get us down now.

What are you talking about?

This is the best thing
that's happened to me all day.

Here, so you can conjure
your butterfly.

I'll need to conjure
a bunch to get rid of a twister that big.

So we should do your leaping
move to get around the twister

-and conjure the butterflies together.
-Okay, let's do it.

Butterfly. Butterfly.

Butterfly. Butterfly.

[wind blows]

-[Zane] Uh-oh!
-[all exclaiming]

I can fly up
and grab Zane and Zarya.

I'll get Camila and Farhad.

Leap.

[all exclaiming]

-Thank you for saving us.
-Yeah.

That was wild.

I mean, this was
all your fault.

-But thank you, I guess.
-Zarya.

She's right, Zane.
We put you all in danger

because we weren't
working well together.

Sorry we weren't better
leaders today.

But seeing how well we worked
together just now,

I know we can find a way
to lead the squad together.

-If you'll let us.
-Absolutely.

-Of course.
-Yep.

Let's twirl.

This is the moment
I've been waiting for all week.

The scepter twirling parade.
So prepare to be wowed.

I know I am.
Let the parade begin.

-Ready?
-Ready.

[♪ lively marching band
music playing]

Butterfly.

[all cheering]

Flower.

-[girl] Whoo!
-[boy] That was awesome.

[crowd cheering]

A Double-dip McTwisty Twirl?
Incredible.

Bravo, bravo!

[all cheering]

-[girl] Wow!
-[boy] Awesome!

My scepter twirling squad,
everyone.

[crowd cheering]

Hey, we make pretty good
leaders, you and me.

Yes, we do.

-Butterfly.
-Flower.

[both] Rainbow.

[Zane] "The Tippity Tap Dance."

[♪ upbeat music playing]

Whoa.

-Wow Zane, that was incredible.
-How'd you do that?

I can show you.
Just watch me and do what I do.

Whoa. Like that?

Almost. Uh, here.
I'll do it again.

-How'd you get so good at dancing, Zane?
-No idea.

-I've just always been good at it.
-[door opens]

Attention, young royals,
Lord Primrose has arrived.

Are you ready to move?
Are you ready to groove?

I certainly hope so, because you are about
to learn a new type of dance

that I like to call
Tippity Tap.

Today I teach it to you,
and at the end of the week,

you perform the dance
for the whole school.

We have to learn a whole
new dance in a few days?

It's all good, Sofia.
Once I get the steps down,

I'll teach you the rest
no matter how long it takes.

Oh, great. Thanks, Zane.

Anything for my besties.

[claps] Everyone, spread out.
The fun is about to begin.

Now, watch me.

-[tap shoes clicking]
-Tap, tap, tippity tap.

Tap, tap, tippity tap.

Tap, tap, tippity tap.
Join me when you're ready. Tap, tap.

-Uh...
-Whoa.

Tap, tap, tippity... Whoa!

[chuckles nervously]
I guess I wasn't ready.

I see what he's doing.
I'll show you.

It goes tap, tap, tippity...

Oh, no, that wasn't it.

It goes tap, tap, tippity...
Ahhh!

Let me try it again.
Third time's the charm, right?

It goes tap, tap, tippity...
Ahhh!

[grunts] Sorry, Layla.

Are you having a hard time
learning the steps, too?

[chuckles nervously] No, I probably
just need to warm up my footsies.

[sighs]

That's all for class today,
young royals.

But keep practicing.
Big smiles, happy feet.

Big smiles, happy feet.

Tap, tap, tippity tap.
Tap, tap, tippity tap.

Do any of you know
how to do it yet?

-I think so.
-Let's try it.

Pepper, what are you
doing here?

I was lonely,
so I thought I'd see what you were doing.

Oh, this dance is so fun
and surprisingly easy to learn.

I can't be the only one
who doesn't know the dance.

Can we go back to the castle
and practice more?

Why would I practice?
I've never had to practice dancing.

But you said you'd help me
learn the steps.

Oh, right. Well, I'm happy
to help you practice.

Good. Then let's
tippity-tap on over there.

[Zane] Okay,
let's try it again.

Tap, tap, tippity... Whoa!

Well, at least you didn't
run into the wall this time.

[in English accent] Easy for you to say.
You're not on the wall.

I don't know
what's going on with me.

I usually get new
dances on the first try.

Whoa.

That was, like, his 20th try.

[sighs wearily]
I think I need a break.

Okay, but come back soon. The more
we practice, the better we'll get.

[woman] Hmph.

[Princess Camila] Zane, look.

I finally got this
hopping spell right.

Yeah, even teacups
dance better than me.

Hey, Camila,

you don't happen to know a spell
that can make me a better dancer, do you?

You're already a good dancer.

Thanks, but I need to learn
this tippity-tap dance

quickity-quick
so I can help Sofia.

Okay. Mmm.

Oh, here's one.
The Dance Every Dance charm.

Dance Every Dance?
That should cover it.

Okay, let's do this.

[in sing-song voice]
♪ You will dance like never before ♪

♪ Today, tonight,
and forever more ♪

Hey, I got it
on the first try.

Usually I have to do
a new spell a few times before it works.

Thank you, Camila.
This was so much easier than practicing.

I gotta go back
and help Sofia now.

[Princess Camila]
Sure thing. Happy tapping.

Hey, get back here.
It's almost tea time.

Tap, tap, tippity... Whoa!

-[door closes]
-Sofia, check this out.

-Tap, tap, tippity, tap.
-You learned the dance.

Yup, and soon you will, too.

-[bell ringing]
-Oh, it's lunchtime.

Can we practice after?
All this dancing has made me hungry.

-Me too. Let's eat.
-[rhythmic tapping continues]

Uh, why are you still dancing?

I'm so happy I know the steps,

I can't stop doing them.
[chuckles nervously]

[sighs] You go on.
I'll be right there.

Stop dancing feet.
Or is it the shoes?

Whoa!

-[barking]
-Hi, Lady Salispur.

Don't spill the milk.
Don't spill the milk.

Ooh, let's sit with Layla.

Oh, and she's sitting
all the way across the room.

Huzzah for me.

-How's the dancing coming?
-Well, Zane's got it down,

-as you can see.
-We should sit.

Oh, and eat, but mainly sit.

-[tapping continues]
-Really?

-[sighs wearily]
-Everything okay?

[chuckles nervously] Uh-huh.
My feet feel like they just can't stop.

I should maybe
take my shoes off.

-In the dining hall?
-You don't mind, do you?

A little.

[yelps]

-Whoa.
-What are you doing?

Dancing, I think.

-And really well, I have to say.
-[♪ upbeat music plays]

[Zane yelps]

Excuse me. Pardon me. Whoa.

You know what?
I'm not hungry after all.

I think I'll just go back
to the castle. [yells]

I did that spell.

[Zane] Sorry, Zarya.
Let me know how the pudding is.

I think something's
wrong with Zane.

I don't know.
I thought he had some pretty nice moves.

What? No. I mean that he hasn't stopped
dancing since we left the castle.

-Oh.
-I'm going to check on him.

[sighs in relief]

-[barking]
-Sorry, Lady Salispur.

No... [groans]

-Play with us! Play with us!
-Sofia.

Maybe later. Gotta find Zane.

[Zane] Whoa. Oh, oh!

Whoa! [yells]

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa! [grunts]

Zane! Are you okay?

[Zane sighs wearily]
I've been better.

[grunts]
What is going on, Zane?

Well, I, uh...

I couldn't figure out
the tippity-tap dance.

What do you mean?
You've been doing it all day.

Only because I asked Camila to cast
a spell on me to make me a better dancer.

And maybe the spell
didn't work right, or it worked too well.

All I know is
I can't stop dancing.

But why would you ask her
to put a spell on you in the first place?

Dancing is one of the few
things I'm really great at,

so when you said
you needed my help

I had to find a way to be good
at it no matter what

because I didn't want
to let you down.

That's so nice of you, Zane,

but it's okay if you're not good
at this one type of dancing.

You could have just
practiced with me.

But I've never had
to practice dancing before.

And to be honest,
it looks like it takes a lot of time.

[giggles] It does. But it's the only way
to get better at something.

And it's easier if you do it
with a friend by your side.

Okay, I'll practice with you.

But maybe we should
get Camila to undo this spell first.
