[Tape tears, tape rustles]
DESCRIPTION: Giggle pulls the tape off the floor.
POCKETS: What are you doing?
GIGGLE: We don't need to dance to a line. What if we did a mixed-up Mixmups dance routine instead?
SPIN: Yeah! Where everyone does a different dance!
POCKETS: Yeah! We don't have to be the same.
MRS. DANCY DANCE: No, of course not! You can dance however you like! Shall we try this again?
[Mixmups cheer]
MRS. DANCY DANCE: Let's do this!
[Dance music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Mrs. Dancy Dance touches the tablet screen, and the lights in the room dim. Multi-coloured spotlights point at the Mixmups. In the sky, the edges of the two clouds turn green, and they smile at each other.
CLOUDS: Mm.
[Dance music continues, whoosh, Spin claps his hands]
DESCRIPTION: Everyone dances. Pockets twirls and Spin spins. He bounces beside a wingle and claps his hands.
[Song] Dance, dance, dance, dance. Everybody, come on, dance. Dance, dance, dance, dance.
[Roller Guinea murmurs, slide whistle, Yapette yaps, boing]
DESCRIPTION: Giggle rolls her arms and spins her wheelchair. Yapette spins on one of her front legs. Two wingles dance together. Mrs. Dancy Dance leads the line of dancers across the room.
[Song] Everybody, come on, dance. Dance, dance, dance, dance.
SPIN: Whoa! We did it!
DESCRIPTION: Spin holds Pocket’s arm and dances.
POCKETS: We all danced our own way and had so much fun.
DESCRIPTION: Everyone stops dancing.
MRS. DANCY DANCE: Yep! As I say, there's always another way.
[Whoosh, boing]
DESCRIPTION: Mrs. Dancy Dance twirls and falls onto her bottom.
MRS. DANCY DANCE: Oh!
[Music stops, everyone laughs, poof, chimes]
DESCRIPTION: Giggle’s disco glasses disappear, and she picks up the wooden spoon.
GIGGLE: Oh! It's time to go...
[Chimes, upbeat music plays, whoosh, box flaps]
DESCRIPTION: Giggle holds up the wooden spoon, and the dance studio disappears as the mixing box folds back into a box. Mrs. Dancy Dance, as Lucky Loover Bird again, waves to the Mixmups. Sparkles lift them and carry them back into the mixing box.
Lucky Loover Bird says, TOODLE-OO!
[Upbeat music plays, chimes, spoon thuds]
DESCRIPTION: The magical mixing box reappears in the bedroom. The Mixmups float out of the box and land on the edge of a bed. The wooden spoon flies out of the box, and Pockets catches it. Spin hops off the bed and dances.
SPIN: That was lots of fun!
POCKETS: Yeah...
[Spin laughs]
SPIN: Look!
DESCRIPTION: Spin points at a silver disco ball.
SPIN: Our very own disco ball!
[Click, dance music plays, whoosh]
DESCRIPTION: Spin runs to a table and pushes a button on the disco ball stand. The lights dim and lights move around the walls. The Mixmups dance.
SPIN: Disco a-go-go! I wonder who left this here?
DESCRIPTION: Outside on the hilltop, Lucky Loover Bird puts the cowboy hat back into the tree trunk, closes the door, and sits on their swing.
LUCKY LOOVER BIRD: Mixing up adventures, near and far, but home is where the Mixmups are. Bye, Mixmups!
[Chimes, cheerful music plays]
