[Malibu] Previously on Barbie: A Touch of Magic...
The path ends here.
I don't see anything about a gem.
What?
What the--
Huh?
- [grunts] - Barbie!
[groans]
[yelling]
[gasps]
- Oh, hi. - Hello.
- Where am I? - [woman] Here's a clue.
Talleigha?
Thanks for dropping in.
I hear you're looking for the water gem.
Follow me... if you dare.

Barbie! Where are you?
[gasps]
Oh, my gosh! Hey, you're okay!
I'm fine.
I found an old friend and made a new one.
Charlie here is a mermaid of air and transformed me.
Kinda my thing. Well, all air mermaids' thing.
And this is Talleigha, we've met before.
She knows something about the water gem.
Can you get a message to Barbie?
I'm going with her to Pacifica.
Um, okay. Sure. But isn't it really far?
Not for us.
The underwater portal pools connect all magic lands.
They're like what you'd call a subway but way faster.
- I'll be back as soon as I can. - Okay.
[sighs]
No bars. Of course.
[mermaids giggling]
Oh, tag, you're it!
[giggles]
No fair!
Watch out, portal pool.
Oh, a visitor? Hey!
I'm Emily and that's Harper.
She's it, so don't let her tag you.
[all chuckle]
This is Barbie.
Barbie? Of Barbie and Barbie?
Oh... you helped us mermaids out with the ceremony
of the mermaid moon.
That was us. We like to help.
But now we need yours.
Have you seen Coralia? We need to ask her something.
Follow me.
Oh, and you're now it, by the way.
[giggling]
And now you're it.
[Ken] I think my brain is broken.
I can't even make sense of these words.
Maybe 'cause they're in Mesmerian?
There's got to be something about the gems
in one of these books.
Although, I really do have to ask Dru why she has so many.
There's, like, a million. This could take forever.
- Unless... - Unless you use magic?
Actually, I was thinking about running out of this room
screaming from stress.
But magic... yeah, that could work.
[clears throat]
Will all the books that could be helpful please rise up.
That's... still a lot.
Try refining the search.
Yeah! Like, um...
What do you call it? Uh...
- The internet! - Yeah!
Uh, what's the internet?
[chuckles]
Well, it's this thing on our computers that...
Yeah!
Not that. I meant the sorting spell.
I'll just pick one gem.
Would only books about the earth gem please stay up?
[snaps]
Ouch.
[chuckles]
That's doable. Everyone, take one.
Cool.
And since we're using magic,
can you make me a pizza?
[snaps]
[sighs]
You are so literal.
[chuckles]
Council leader!
I need to get back to Malibu as soon as possible.
Is Peggy here?
Ooh... Peggy and her mother left
for some mother-daughter bonding time.
Oh. Can anyone else take me?
I'm afraid not.
We have strict limits on who can come and go to Malibu these days,
what with the whole stolen gem thing.
But rest assured, they'll be back soon.
In the meantime, maybe Dru can keep you company? Eh?
You know, she's human too.
So you'll feel right at home with her.
Oh. I... I couldn't possibly. I'm quite busy, you see.
Is that the internal view of a mountain warbler's intestine?
[Dru] It's not finished.
I don't wanna impose.
Nonsense!
[blows raspberry] Dru would love to play hostess.
Yeah, love is a strong word.
Plus, it's part of her duties as a guest resident of Mesmer.
Well... when you put it that way, I'd love to host you.
But be warned,
the downstairs toilet has this tendency to clog.
So, if you have to use it, you'll need this.
You carry around a plunger?
[chuckles]
Oh... aren't you the curious one?
So many questions.
Isn't that Dru a pip?
But seriously, why is she carrying that thing around?
Humans, am I right?
- No luck here. - Nothing here, either.
I can't make heads or tails outta this one.
- What's it about? - Tails...
I think.
Huh. Why does this look familiar?
That's the symbol on my armor.
When I'm in my regular form,
you know, when I'm a Centaur.
Well, what does it mean?
I don't know, it...
It's just always been there.
Leo, it's all about Centaurs!
Read it!
A long time ago in the village of the Centaurs,
the great Sapphire Fairycorn offered the Centaurs a wish.
Aw, she's so sparkly!
One Centaur leader, a warrior,
wanted the village to wish for conquest.
But another leader wanted them
to wish to live in harmony with all.
The Centaurs voted...
and they chose the warrior's wish.
Go on.
This troubled the Sapphire Fairycorn deeply.
She knew if she made the Centaurs almighty warriors,
they would conquer the world and create an imbalance.
But she was bound
by her word to grant the wish,
so the Sapphire Fairycorn made all the Centaurs
mighty warriors, and they immediately began
to plan their conquest of the world.
But the Sapphire Fairycorn had a plan.
Shortly after the wish was granted,
she created a mighty tempest.
It pulled all the Centaurs of Mesmer into another dimension.
A dimension far away where they could do no harm to others.
This way the Centaurs could be all powerful,
but would have no one to conquer but themselves.
She was the one who banished my people from Mesmer.
But she had a good reason. They were gonna wreck the place.
The story's not done! Keep going, Barbie.
[Malibu] With the Centaurs gone, the Sapphire Fairycorn was sad.
[Alicorn neighs]
[Malibu] But luckily her good friend the Alicorn appeared.
Alicorn?
Yeah, it's like a unicorn but it flies.
Whoa! A unicorn Pegasus.
The Sapphire Fairycorn realized
that her wish powers were too strong.
Terrible things like this would keep happening.
Humans, Centaurs, mermaids and Glyphs
couldn't be trusted to make benevolent wishes.
So she made her own wish.
She wished for her powers to be split into three gems.
One for each of the three realms.
Water, Earth and Air.
The air gem is what we call the crystal gem of Mesmer.
She sacrificed herself so no bad wishes
would ever happen again. That is so boss.
[Malibu] She asked her best friend, the Alicorn,
to hide the gems well and only reunite them
in the gravest of emergencies.
She took a few belongings,
then she went off to hide herself,
never to be seen again.
I can't believe my people were so foolish.
But look! I know where this is.
It's right here in Malibu!
What? We have to go.
Forget the gems.
That place could lead me to my family!
[whimsical music]
Brooklyn, it's so pleasant to feel your presence again.
Welcome back to Pacifica.
Coralia. How did you know it was me?
I knew you'd come.
There is great turmoil in the lands.
The balance has shifted, Mesmer has lost its gem.
Yes! Exactly.
And I was told that you have the water gem.
It is still within our waters,
but its exact location is a secret, even to me.
Do you have any idea where it is?
Perhaps. But I cannot take you there.
It is far too dangerous for a human.
I'll go with you, Coralia.
Seriously, you'll help us out?
We are all connected. You taught me that.
So...
what should we do while we wait for them to get back?
[gasps] I know!
Have you ever been to a mermaid market?
[merman 1] Underwater cheese! Underwater and cheese!
[merman 2] Seaweed pasta, only the freshest!
[merman 3] Pearl necklaces.
[mermaid] Clamshells, two for one!
[merman 3] We got pearl necklaces here, two-for-one special.
[mermaid] Come and get 'em, 50 percent off.
[merman 1] Underwater cheese! Underwater and cheese!
[London] Ancient treasures! Curious curios!
That's London.
She's always finding cool stuff to trade.
I love books.
Don't you?
There are no words?
The water ruins them, so you gotta read fast.
This one was about how a terrible Pirate Queen
stole a beautiful treasure from the mermaid people.
- That's us. - Yeah, obviously.
Can I go on? Thank you.
As the Pirate Queen was escaping,
her ship hit a great rock and sank!
And the wreckage ended up in the caves.
There are no pirate ships in the caves.
Have you looked everywhere?
No, no, no, no, no. The caves are massive.
Do you really think that story is true?
Hmm. I'd give it a 50-50.
Sometimes the books are fact and sometimes just lovely fiction.
Either way, they're great reads, if you can still read the pages.
Anyone wanna see if the legend is true?
I bet I find out first!
As if! Race ya.
[both giggling]
Those two really like games. Hey, wait for me!
Hey, wait for me too!
Is that book for sale?
It will be... as soon as I get back.
This is nice.
It is.
Yeah, the council did some magic to make me feel more at home.
[gasps] Bunnycorns?
I love bunnycorns.
Can I borrow this?
No! Uh... it's... got sentimental value.
And no touching, please.
How about a snack? Cookies and pickled herring?
Maybe just a cookie.
[chuckles] No, it's not either-or.
You put the herring on the cookie.
There you go.
It's a local specialty.
When in Mesmer.
Oddly, not bad.
I know, right? Yeah. [chuckles]
The sweet goes well with the salty.
Mm.
This could take a while. Anyone want a sandwich?
Yes, please!
[snaps]
[sniffs] Um...
Mmm! Interesting.
It's salty and sweet. Mmm.
I know, right? It's a Mesmer delicacy.
Leo, do you recognize anything?
No, I was never here.
Somehow when my people got banished,
I was left behind in Mesmer.
Wait!
- Stop the car! - Aah!
[brakes squeal]
Aah!
[groans]
This has to be the place! I can feel it!
[wind whistles]
There's nothing here.
[grunts] Yeah, but the magic staff is going crazy!
Whoa!
How did you get Elvy's staff?
I asked to borrow it.
It wants to go this way. Whoa!
Huh. It really seems to...
[groans] ...love this rock.
I think I see something.
The symbol!
[all together] Whoa!
Are you sure this is the right way?
I think so.
Anyone find anything?
I found this. Is it anything?
That's a pirate flag.
Like from the Pirate Queen?
What was that?
Oh. [chuckles] It's just sharks.
They're friendly, right?
Not when they're hungry. Swim!
[groaning]
[gasps]
[shark chomping]
[gasps] Barbie, look out!
Oh!
[screams]
Oh, no!
He's too fast!
[grunts]
[shark chomps]
- Uh-oh. - Go, go, go!
[both groaning]
This way!
[both grunting]
- Oh, no, dead end! - [gasps]
[shark growls]
[both] Oh!
Nice shark... with extremely sharp teeth.
Use our powers on three.
I'll try, but I'm not great at controlling them yet.
[shark chomps]
One, two... three!
[rocks clattering]
[shark chomps]
- It worked! - We did it. Yay!
But it also trapped us.
Maybe not. Look, it's uncovered something.
It's like a whole secret room.
Holy fish fingers!
Is that the Pirate Queen's sunken ship?
Look!
Now I'm a pirate. Shiver me fingers. [giggles]
That's what pirates say, right?
[chuckles]
What is that?
So...
So...?
So, what's with the weird glow?
What weird glow? There's no weird glow!
It's just a normal, everyday, average glow!
Okay. But what's causing it?
You really do ask a lot of questions.
[chuckles] It's charming.
Okay then. How about a statement?
There's a weird glow coming from under the door.
I'd like to open it.
You can't. It's very personal.
Someone need a lift?
Peggy! Hi. That would be me.
Thanks so much for letting me hang out.
It was, uh... really interesting.
So this is where my family was.
[phone ringing]
Excuse me, it's Teresa.
Hello? What? Can you...?
Can you say that...? I can't...
Can you say that again?
Brooklyn went to Pacifica. Uh, okay.
Yeah. Wait, can you...?
What was...?
Oh, they may have found the water gem.
Wait, what?
We solved the riddle and followed a path.
So Brooklyn went with Talleigha to Pacifica and then...
Teresa?
Hello!
This is a terrible connection.
Probably my fault. I'm flying on Peggy right now.
I'll call you back when I have better service.
Okay!
Oh, and don't let me forget.
We have to talk about Dru.
- She... - [call ends]
I think Brooklyn's in Pacifica.
She may have found the water gem but I couldn't really hear.
Yes, that's great!
What do you wanna do, Leo?
I'm more lost than ever. I... I have so many questions.
What happened to the Centaur village?
Where did my family go?
Pull!
[straining grunts]
Yes! That must be the water gem.
[chuckles] We've been looking for you.
Wait, it could be a trap!
Huh?
- [gasps] - Uh-oh.
[both struggling]
A portal pool. Don't go in.
We don't know where it comes out.
[both straining]
- Oh, no! - Forget it! Leave it.
I can't.
[grunts]
Barbie!
Whoa!
Gotcha.
Whoa!
Well, why don't we head back to Dru's?
And see if we missed anything.
[Leo] I guess so.
[Alicorn] It was sitting there.
I... picked it up.
Who's there?
[Alicorn] Then went over here to scratch my back.
Did I drop it?
No.
It's the Alicorn from the story I read.
Leo! Good to see you again.
Again? You've met before?
[gasps]
[groaning]
Whoa! Ugh!
Where am I?
[gasps] Wait.
This looks weirdly familiar.
Isn't this...?
[humming and whistling]
Hello? Who's there?
Hmm.
[snickering]
