Season 1

Holly's Magic Wand

Holly: I'm sure I left my wand here. It's gone! [Holly is sobbing.]

Ben: Hi, Holly.

Holly: Hi, Ben.

Ben: What's wrong?

Holly: I've lost my wand. I can't do magic anymore.

Ben: Maybe that's a good thing.

Holly: It's not funny! I'm never going to find my wand and I'll be sad forever.

Ben: Cheer up, Holly. I will find my wand.

Holly: How?

Ben: Elves are very good at finding things, and I'm an elf. [blows trumpet]

Holly: Thanks, Ben.

Elf Joke Day

Wise Old Elf: (opening the door) Let's go and join in the fun!

Nanny Plum: (screaming while breaking the toy mouse) Help!

Wise Old Elf: (entering with Ben and Holly) Ho-ho-ho. Happy Elf Joke Day!

Nanny Plum: That was not funny, Wise Old Elf.

Morning, Noon, and Night

[rooster crows]

Nanny Plum: That's the cockerel crow, Princess Holly! Time for fairies to get up!

Betty Caterpillar

Holly: Look, Betty Caterpillar is sad.

[Betty is sobbing.]

Ben: I think she feels a bit left out. [Gaston the Ladybird and Bobby the Bee are having fun flying. Betty is crying.] I know how to cheer her up.

Holly: Oh, good. Go on then, Ben.

Ben: Don't be sad, Betty. Flying isn't everything. Elve's can't fly, and I'm an elf. [blows trumpet]

[Betty is sobbing.]

Holly: That didn't cheer her up much. [Betty is sobbing.] Maybe I can make her fly by magic.

Ben: Can you do that?

Holly: Um, I think so.

Picnic on the Moon

Narrator: (o.s.) Today's adventure starts... In Outer Space!

Queen Thistle: (screaming loudly)

King Thistle: HOLLY!!!!

Holly: Yes, Daddy?

King Thistle: Please keep Gaston under control.

Holly: Sorry, Daddy.

King Thistle: We live in the castle, Gaston lives outside.

[Gaston is whining.]

Ben: Never mind, Gaston. Let's all go to the great elf tree instead.

Mr. Elf: Mrs. Elf, that blueberry pie smells delicious.

Mrs. Elf: Yes, Mr. Elf. The secret is to cook it very slowly over 3 days.

Ben: Hello Mum!

Holly: Hello!

Mrs. Elf: Hello Ben, Hello Holly!

Mr. Elf: Ah, Can't he shake himself outside?

Mrs. Elf: That pie is not for you, Gaston! Now Ben, Gaston should live outside, we live inside.

Ben: Okay, Mum.

Mr. Elf: AGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! Where's the pie gone?!

Mrs. Elf: Gaston's eating it!

Holly: We don't know it was Gaston.

Ben: It could have been someone else.

Mrs. Elf: He's the only one with pie on his face!

Mr. Elf: Out Gaston, I never want to see you again.

[Gaston is whining.]

Ben: Sorry, Gaston.

Holly: You'd better go home.

Mrs. Elf: Go on, Gaston! Off you go!

Queen Thistle: Bedtime, Holly! Are you all right, darling?

Holly: I'm a bit sad. Gaston isn't allowed in our houses anymore. [Gaston is howling.] Gaston! Oh, Gaston is all wet and cold.

King Thistle: Gaston, go and make that rucket somewhere else!

King Thistle: Now see here, I don't want any birthday stuff. Redbeard the Elf Pirate: Pah, that's what you say every year. King Thistle: Look, I don't want a cake, I don't want a song, and I do NOT want a pirate in my bath Redbeard the Elf Pirate: So you really don’t want a party, eh?! King Thistle: No, I do NOT want a party, not this year, not next year, and not at any year. Never, no more parties
