Here we are, Prisma.
Call Vor.
Yoo-hoo.
Oh, little locket.
What is it
you desire, Prisma?
We came to this school
just like you said.
Now where exactly is
the next of the Wicked Nine?
It can be found in the study
of the fairy headmistresses.
It is well-hidden,
but I know
you can find it.
I heard we have a guest teacher
today in alchemy class.
Really?
Whoever could it be?
Oh, what rotten luck.
That rosy, nosy princess Sofia
goes to this school.
I suppose she'll be
in class for a while.
Giving us time to grab
the wicked trinket.
Bingo.
Curious who your guest teacher
will be today?
It is I, Merlin.
Greetings, children.
As you enter your final
semester here at Royal Prep,
it's time to dream
bigger dreams,
shoot for higher stars.
So for the rest
of the school year,
you will be doing
advanced alchemy.
Turn sawdust
into gold dust.
Invisibility potions.
- Wow.
- Yes, wow.
But also whoa.
Not easy.
Quite true, Desmond.
So you'll need to find
an animal helper
to assist you for
the rest of the school year.
An animal helper?
All the top wizards
have one.
Even me.
They help fetch ingredients,
stir potions,
unscroll scrolls,
and lots of other
useful things.
Why, thank you,
Archimedes.
Can my pet mink Lulu
be my animal helper?
Mink, monkey,
or magenta mongoose.
As long as they are
focused on working,
any animal will do.
I definitely want Clover
to be my helper.
Your first advanced potion
is due tomorrow.
You and your animal helper
will make it
right here in class,
so take a gander
and choose your first
advanced alchemy project.
Hm. What should
Clover and I make?
Made it.
Now, locket, exactly
what kind of object
are we looking for?
A spinning wheel,
the very one whose spindle
Sleeping Beauty
pricked her finger on.
Okay, let's find it.
Then I can gather
the rest of the Wicked Nine,
and drain their magic
to become so, so powerful.
In what nook or cranny could
a spinning wheel be hidden?
It is not in this room.
It is behind it.
That wall, to be specific.
Behind here?
I don't see a door.
But you will.
Once you light that candle,
a secret passageway
will be revealed.
Here goes.
This is so exciting.
Oh, fiddlesticks.
What is going on?
I'm afraid it is the work
of the fairy teachers,
Flora, Fauna,
and Merriweather.
Aurora's guardians.
They must've put
a protection spell
on the candle.
I'll use my necessi-key.
It can create
a door anywhere.
Not here.
The only way in is to
break the protection spell.
But how?
FAUNA: Yes, wonderful idea to
make dragon fire, Sofia.
The Alchemy book said dragon
fire's the rarest fire of all.
Oh, yes, it is.
And it requires
the rarest ingredient of all.
Lightning spark.
We keep it in here,
should we ever need
to make dragon fire
ourselves.
Here's a small bit
of the spark.
It's all that we have,
but it should be enough.
Thanks, Miss Fauna.
Dragon fire? Maybe that's
the key to breaking
the protection spell.
Why, I think
it just might be.
This is dragon fire ash.
I've seen it on
the Isle of Dragons.
Let's follow the princess.
Then just when
she makes the dragon fire,
we'll snatch it!
Clover, guess what.
I have to find an animal
to help me with
my alchemy class
for the rest
of the school year,
and I choose you.
Yo! That's great news!
Quality Sofia-Clover time,
here we come.
We'll get to do
all this neat magic together.
I'll stir a potion here,
say a magic word or two there.
It might be a bit harder than
that, but that's the right idea.
That sounds fun.
Really,
really fun.
Why can't we be your animal
helpers, huh, Sofia?
Oh, I... didn't think you guys
would be interested.
Sofia, does a bee
make honey?
Does a duck go quack?
What I'm saying is,
we're interested.
Really, really interested.
Okay.
Well, what about this?
Clover, would you mind
if I hold try-outs
for my helper?
It's only fair to give
everyone a chance.
Oh, all right.
- Really?
- Really.
I'm your number one bunny.
I'll ace the audition
and get the gig anyway.
Okay, great.
Everyone, meet in
the gazebo later for try-outs.
( cow mooing,
elephant trumpeting )
( sighs ) Guess word
got out about try-outs.
Yeah, it looks like.
Thank you all for coming to
my animal helper try-outs.
Your support
is much appreciated.
I'm going to
test your skills
as you each help me
make dragon fire.
Clover, you're first.
Don't get too cozy now.
- You won't be here long.
- ( chirps )
- Okay, first,
I add lava paste,
- Uh-huh.
and you add
a scoop of dragon scales,
and a pinch of
hurricane dust.
- Got it.
- Ready? Go!
Okay.
How do I know
which one's dragon scales?
This one looks scaly.
But this one
looks dragon-y.
( Wormwood cawing )
Wormwood, are you
trying out, too?
I just came to see
what the new generation
of animal helpers
has to offer.
Gotta find
the hurricane dust.
Could be this one,
or maybe that.
So far, not so much really.
( cawing )
Clover, I need
those ingredients.
Right, right. Uh...
There.
Ta-da!
Are you sure
you got the right ones?
Of course I'm sure
I got the right ones.
Pretty sure.
Kinda. Ugh.
Look, it's bubbling, Sof.
But wait.
It doesn't say
it's supposed to bu...
Okay, that was
just practice.
Take two.
Hey, what about us?
Don't we get a turn?
I'm sorry, Clover.
I don't think
it's going to work out.
- I should let the other
animals audition.
- But Sof...
Doing well in alchemy class
is really important to me.
( cawing )
Tell you what.
How about I let you
try out again later,
if you take lessons
from Wormwood first?
From Feather Face?
From me?
- I think not.
- Come on, Wormwood.
You've been Mr. Cedric's
helper for such a long time.
You must have tons
of great tips to give Clover.
Please.
Oh, I suppose I could share
a brilliant pointer or two.
All right, all right,
if that's what it takes
to get the helper gig,
I'm in.
So, do I call you
Professor Feather Face?
No, you don't.
That bunny did terribly.
Twitch, you should
try out to be Sofia's helper.
You know so much
about magic,
I know she'll
choose you.
Yeah, then once we make
the dragon fire,
swish, nab, I'll be
right there to steal it.
But wait, Sofia saw you
as a rat in Wei-Ling.
Good point.
Mm, better, but we still
have to hide that.
( laughs )
What a handsome
weasel you are.
Now run along.
Deceive that princess. Shoo.
Now then,
for lesson number one,
I thought we'd start
with something easy.
Memorize each and every
ingredient you'll need
to make dragon fire.
Uh, that's starting
off easy?
It is essential
that an animal helper
be able to identify
ingredients and bring
them to their master
without delay.
Listen carefully.
This is dragon scales,
this, hurricane dust,
and this is lava paste.
Now you try.
Uh, dragon thing-a-whatever,
and hurricane
stuff-a-ma-guff.
No. This is
hurricane stuff-a-ma-guff...
Oh, you've got me
saying it!
Hurricane dust!
Come in,
it's too hard.
I'll never get
all this.
Here. Use this rhyme
to remember.
Dragon scales
are shaped like snails.
Hurricane dust
is red as rust.
Can you start over?
I already forgot
the beginning.
Ahem, star pupil,
you are not.
Okay, Rex,
your turn.
Now please fetch
the dragon scales.
Oh, like a game?
( laughs )
Ready, set, go!
That's right. Wow.
Good job, Rex.
What are you doing?
New game, new game!
Tug-of-war!
Rex, I'm worried about
choosing you as my helper.
You'll just play
games all the time.
Yeah, sure would.
Games, games, games.
Boy, does that sound fun!
( howls )
I'm sorry, Rex,
but it's not going
to work out.
I really hope I find
an animal helper
in time for school
tomorrow.
( sighs )
All right,
who's next?
Try the rhyme again
from the top.
When will it sink
into your bird brain?
There's no way
I can learn all this.
But there is, if you
just focus and repeat after me.

Wait a minute,
Wormwood.
Come on, you can't
quit on me.
How will I learn
to be Sofia's helper?
I suppose someone else
will get the joy
of teaching you.
Who else is there?
Come on, Wormwood.
What am I gonna do now?
That's lava paste, of course,
measured to a T.
You're really
good at this.
You'd make
a great animal helper.
It's just,
I don't really know
you, Mr. Weasel.
I think I'd feel
more comfortable
with someone
I'm already friends with.
But everyone likes me,
and I'm a gem
of an animal helper.
I'm sorry, but no.
Your mistake.
Good luck with
these chumps.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
How do you know
all that magic ingredient
and animal helper stuff?
Practice, that's how.
Years of practice.
I just wasted
all this time
trying to learn
a really hard
potion-making rhyme.
I need something easier,
and I need it fast.
I was kinda hoping
you could
give me a few
great tips, you know?
You know, it may have taken
me years to learn everything,
but for you,
there may just
be a quicker way.
Where'd you go?
Ha ha, wow!
How did you do that?
Are you magical
or something?
Or something,
and that's the key
to my plan.
I can hide out of sight
at the auditions,
and whisper to you
exactly how to make
the dragon fire.
How will I hear
if you whisper?
I'll stay real close.
Close enough so
I can steal...
so you can hear
everything I say.
Wow, you'd really do that?
Why?
Because I have a hunch
you've got the chops
it takes to be
a great animal helper.
I mean,
really great.
Wow, you really think so?
Thanks. Let's go.
Okay, Clover, now,
I will need
some lava paste.
Lava paste
tastes like...
How'd that rhyme
go again?
Don't hurt your brain
remembering.
It's the last pouch
on the left.
Oh, this?
Here it is.
Last pouch
on the left.
You're welcome.
Now, get the dried
quicksand.
The big pouch.
Chop, chop!
That's it, Clover.
Now all we need
is the lightning spark.
Whoa. Did we do it?!
That's dragon fire,
all right!
Come to me,
dragon fire.
( straining )
It's like a ton of bricks.
Wow, Clover,
you did great.
Lessons with Wormwood
really paid off.
Uh... yeah.
It was... it was
hard work,
but it was worth it.
Sure was.
You can now be my helper.
I can?!
Oh, yeah!
Sofia and Clover,
together again.
Yep, starting with making
dragon fire
for Mr. Merlin
tomorrow.
Hey, buddy,
you're gonna help me
at Sofia's school
tomorrow, right?
You kidding?
I wouldn't miss it for
all the magic in the Ever Realm.
Twitch.
What happened?
A little glitch
in my plan,
but don't worry.
I'll get
the dragon fire tomorrow.
You can count on
this wicked chameleon.
A delightful demonstration
of the tornado potion,
Prince Desmond.
Kudos to you
and your animal helper.
Uh...
Colorificus change-o!
Most well done,
Princess Hildegard.
You and your
animal helper!
Thank you, Mr. Merlin.
Next up,
Princess Sofia.
Okay, here we go.
And what will you
be attempting today?
My animal helper
Clover and I
will try to make
dragon fire.
MERLIN: Very complicated,
but impressive.
I hope so.
Ready?
Let's get cookin'.
Now, you get
the dragon scales.
Dragon scales
are shaped like--
Forget the rhyme.
Just take this pouch here.
Yeah, right.
Good. Now
the hurricane dust.
Right away.
This red pouch,
but not too much.
Good job, Clover.
Purple smoke.
We're almost there.
Now, the most important
ingredient of all.
Lightning spark.
We did it!
- Yes!
Just brilliant.
Literally.
- Hey!
- Oh, no!
Swirling sorcery,
what just happened?
Uh, I don't know,
but don't worry.
I'll find out.
There it is.
Told ya I wouldn't
let you down.
This is no time
to brag. Hurry!
To the spindle.
Nothin' can stop us.
Then it will be
one Wicked Nine down
and eight more
to go.
Wait! Open up!
Oh, that was Prisma.
She's after one of
the Wicked Nine.
I heard her.
The bird was
working with her.
( gasps ) It had
a diamond patch
just like the rat
in Wei-Ling.
What was that bird
doing in class anyway?
Clover?
You know something.
You have to tell me.
Okay, fine.
He was hiding and
whispering to me how
to make the dragon fire.
Why? You said lessons with
Wormwood went great.
It was too hard
to remember everything,
- so I had to take
a shortcut.
- You were cheating?
I just wanted
to spend more time with you.
But I know it was
sneaky and wrong.
I'm really, really
sorry, Sof.
They must've needed
the dragon fire
to open
the secret passage.
How are we
going to stop them?
Can't you just
make more?
I can, but I can't
do it alone.
Don't look at me.
All I know how to do
is mess things up.
Come on, Clover.
Wormwood must've
taught you something.
Dragon scales are
shaped like... d-oh!
I don't remember.
You can do it.
Think.
Dragon scales
are shaped like...
snails!
And hurricane dust
is red as rust!
That's it, Clover.
Locket, the spinning
wheel's not here.
Just this... organ?
I see it
behind the wall.
But it is guarded by
another protection.
Another one?
Oh!
( keys play )
( gasps ) We must have
to play a certain tune
to get to
the hidden spindle.
We have dragon fire.
Good job, Clover.
Twitch,
play that again.
Again!
Oh, the spindle!
I've got it!
Now give it
to us, Prisma.
Ugh. Princess Sofia.
Why would we ever
give it to you?
Because otherwise,
we'll have to take it.
- Give it.
- Toss it here.
No!
Clover, get the spindle.
- Twitch, you get
the spindle.
- ( screeches )
- Got it, Sof.
- Take it to
the fairies quick.
PRISMA: No!
The only way out of here
is through the fairies' office.
Don't be so sure, Sofia.
- Remember this?
- The necessi-key.
No one can catch me,
least of all you, princess.
Come along, Twitch.
I can't believe
they got away, Sof.
Well, at least they
didn't get the spindle,
thanks to you, Clover.
Children, I would like
to compliment all of you
on your wondrously
wonderful displays
of advanced alchemy.
And we have
a special prize
for the most wonderful
alchemist
and her wondrous
animal helper--
Princess Sofia
and Clover!
