All yawns

Hop Pop: Oh, boy.

King Andrias: Wonderful to see you all again.

Hop Pop: Your Majesty. 

Anne: Sup, King?

King Andrias: So ask me if I found out anything about the box.

Anne: Did you...

King Andrias: Bingo!

Sub-Zero: Okay, that woke me up!

He laughs

King Andrias: Ta-da! 

King Andrias: Take a gander.

All gasps

Sprig: It's the music box.

King Andrias: According to this book, it's a magical artifact that is thousands of years old. Apparently, my ancestors used it to visit entirely different worlds. They were peaceful explorers, scientists, if you will. These three stones are the key to getting it working again. They need to be recharged.

Anne: Recharged? How?

King Andrias: The book mentions three different temples, each channeling a different kind of energy. And once the stones are recharged...

Sub-Zero: We'll have a way home?

King Andrias: Steal my thunder, why don't you? But yes. Boom! Eh, eh?

Anne: I don't believe it. A real chance to get home.

Marcy: Right? Now let's get out there and conquer these bad boys.

Anne: Whoo-hoo.

King Andrias: Whoa-ho. Let's rein those snails in for a sec. The book only gives the location of one temple. Besides, you still have a lot of preparing to do before you set off.

Marcy: Good point. Gotta get equipped for a mega-quest like this. Armor to buy, maps to study, weapons to forge. This is gonna take a few days.

Hop Pop: Few days, huh? Well, I hate to say it, but we really need to get back to Wartwood. The harvest is coming up and we can't miss it.

Anne: Okay, Marce, me and Sub-Zero and the Plantars will head back to Wartwood, and when you're ready we can just meet up.

Marcy: Whoa, whoa, whoa. It doesn't really make sense for you to go back to Wartwood.

Anne: Say what now?

Hop Pop/Sprig/Polly: What?

Sub-Zero: No, seriously What?

Marcy: The last thing we should do is separate again, now that we're so close to finding our way home.

Anne: I guess that's true. 

Sub-Zero: But, uh, we, uh, need to go to Wartwood to get the music box. Right, H.P.?

Hop Pop: Technically, yes.

Marcy: Nonsense. Once Hop Pop gets the box back, we'll just send a servant to pick it up. More efficient that way.

Anne: Yeah, but...

Marcy: Guys, right now you have to follow your head, not your heart. The Plantar got you here, to me. It's time to let them get back to their lives. Why don't you guys take the day to say goodbye?

All groans

King Andrias: You folks want a giant tissue? Seriously, you would not believe the size of these tissues.

He chuckles

King Andrias: I'll get you one.
