ISADORA: I'm going to be a famous ballerina just like Tatiana Tutu.
BARTHOLOMEW CHUCKLING: Oh!

ISADORA: Ballet! About a bunny?
DESCRIPTION: In the front, Isadora shares a desk with Zoe. Sashi sits at the desk behind them.

[Miss Cherry laughing]
MISS CHERRY: Lovely.

DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew spins around and puts on the vest. Oliver and Sashi join their friends.
[Kids laughing]
ISADORA: Let's go! I can't wait to see Tatiana Tutu dance. Nor can Pink Rabbit.

[Bartholomew chuckling]
MISS CHERRY: All right, Mr. Moon. We'll see you there.
DESCRIPTION: Miss Cherry follows Pink Rabbit and her students to the bus. Bartholomew leaps into the air. He follows the bus down the street.

OLIVER: Maybe we'll get her autograph.
JJ: Maybe there'll be popcorn!
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit pulls on the skirt of Isadora’s dress and points down the sidewalk. He practices a twirl and a leap.
[Isadora laughing]

MISS CHERRY: Right. In we go, everyone.

BARTHLOLOMEW: Maybe! I'll wait here by the door in case he turns up.
ISADORA: Thanks, Dad.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora flies through an open door and down a hallway leading backstage. She spots Pink Rabbit at the end of the hall next to a dressing room with a star on the door.

[Faint crying]
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit pulls on Isadora’s skirt.
ISADORA: Pink Rabbit, what are you –
[Crying]
DESCRIPTION: Isadora frowns. She turns to the dressing room door.
[Crying continues]
ISADORA: Oh. Sounds like someone's crying. What are we going to do?
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit shrugs.
ISADORA: I don't want to miss the show, but if someone's upset, it wouldn't be kind to ignore them.
[Crying continues]
DESCRIPTION: Isadora knocks on the door.
[Knocking]
DESCRIPTION: Ballerina Tatiana Tutu opens the door partway and peeks into the hallway.
TATIANA: Hello?
ISADORA: Oh. Hi. Um, we just wondered if you were all right.
DESCRIPTION: Tatiana fully opens the door, dressed in her blue Sleeping Bunny tutu and bunny ears.
[Door creaking]
[Isadora gasping]
ISADORA: Tatiana Tutu! Is it really you?
TATIANA: It is. And you are?
ISADORA: Uh, I'm Isadora Moon, and this is –
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit runs into Tatiana’s dressing room.
ISADORA: Pink Rabbit, come back! Oh, I'm sorry.
[Tatiana laughing]
TATIANA: It's okay. Do come in too.
ISADORA: Thank you.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora follows Pink Rabbit into the dressing room. Photos of Tatiana in different tutus decorate the walls. Other tutus fill a closet. Another tutu with wings sits on a mannequin stand. Lights shine from a vanity mirror. Sparkly blue drapes hang from the ceiling around the room.
ISADORA: Wow! It's so pretty. Is this where you get ready for the show?
TATIANA: It is. Usually.
DESCRIPTION: Tatiana limps across the room and takes a seat on a stool next to the vanity. Pink Rabbit nudges a pink rose on a wreath next to a couch.
[Rustling]
TATIANA: Audience members don't normally come backstage before a show.
ISADORA: Oh, I'm sorry. I lost Pink Rabbit, and I came looking for him, and then, we heard someone crying.
TATIANA: Ah, that was me.
ISADORA: Are you okay?
[Tatiana sighing]
TATIANA: No, not really.
[Tatiana crying]
TATIANA: I've hurt my ankle. I tripped over on the way to the theatre. I hoped I was going to be all right by the time the show was due to start, but I'm not.
ISADORA: Oh, you poor thing.
TATIANA: I'm afraid the show will have to be cancelled.
[Dramatic music briefly plays]
ISADORA: Oh, no!
TATIANA: I feel like I've let everyone down. The other dancers are so disappointed, and it's all my fault for being so clumsy.
ISADORA: It's not your fault. I trip over things all the time. I flew into a bush by accident the other day.
[Isadora laughing]
TATIANA: Oh, dear. That sounds… wait. You can fly?
ISADORA: Yes. I'm half-fairy, half-vampire.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora flies in a figure eight around the room, then drops to her feet.
[Tatiana laughing]
TATIANA: Wow! That's quite something.
ISADORA: Thanks. Flying's fun, but I really wish I could dance like you.
TATIANA: Well, that's very kind of you, but, I'm afraid I won't be doing much dancing today, which is why the show can't go on.
ISADORA: Could someone else dance for you?
TATIANA: Sadly, no. The role of Sleeping Bunny has to be played by someone who can do a triple tour en l'air.
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit raises his eyebrows.
ISADORA: What's a "tour en l'air?"
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit pulls on Isadora’s skirt. Isadora and Tatiana look at Pink Rabbit. Pink Rabbit takes a step back and puts his heels together. He leaps into the air, spins, and then lands with his heels together. Tatiana claps.
[Tatiana laughing]
TATIANA: That's exactly right! It's a spin in the air, and a triple tour en l'air is three spins.
ISADORA: Whoa! You can do three spins in the air?
TATIANA: Yes, but, unfortunately, none of the other dancers can.
ISADORA: Oh.
[Tatiana sighing]
TATIANA: There's nothing for it. With no one else able to dance the role, the show will definitely have to be cancelled.
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit nudges Tatiana’s ankle.
TATIANA: What is it, little rabbit?
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit leaps into the air and spins three times, performing a triple tour en l’air.
[Tatiana gasping]
TATIANA: Did he really just – That is astonishing! It takes years of practice.
[Isadora giggling]
ISADORA: Pink Rabbit does a lot of ballet practice.
TATIANA: He's a natural!
ISADORA: Tatiana, I have an idea.
DESCRIPTION: In the auditorium, Bartholomew and Isadora return to their seats. Next to Miss Cherry, JJ sleeps against his hand. Beside Isadora, Zoe frowns.
MISS CHERRY: Ah, there you are, Mr. Moon. I was just going to send out a search party!
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, no need. All fairy-vampires and all rabbits are present and correct.
ZOE: I don't see Pink Rabbit.
ISADORA: Oh, you will.
[Audience applauding]
DESCRIPTION: On stage, the curtain rises.
[Oliver gasping]
DESCRIPTION: Beside Oliver, JJ wakes. Sashi sits behind them.
OLIVER: Here we go!
JJ: It's starting!
SASHI: Shh!
[Audience cheering]
[Ballet music plays]
DESCRIPTION: The performance begins. Two dancers in flower costumes on opposite sides of the stage dance across to the centre stage, then twirl away, off stage. Pink Rabbit leaps out from behind a wooden bush and leaps across the centre stage.
[Class gasping]
ZOE: Hold on. Is that –
ISADORA: Yes, it's Pink Rabbit! He's a prima bunny-rina.
DESCRIPTION: The audience watches Pink Rabbit perform in place of Tatiana. He twirls and leaps from one side of the stage to the other. Four other dancers in flower costumes step onto the stage. They twirl about, then exit. Pink Rabbit returns to the centre stage and jumps with both paws raised.
ISADORA: Here comes his big move, Dad!
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit leaps into the air and performs a triple tour en l’air, spinning three times. He lands the leap and raises his paws.
[Audience cheering and applauding]
CLASSMATE CHEERING: Yay!
JJ CHEERING: Yay, Pink Rabbit!
CLASSMATE CHEERING: Yay, Pink Rabbit!
[Audience cheering and applauding]
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit stands in the centre stage with the other dancers. On either side of Pink Rabbit, the other dancers perform the same twirls and jumps. Between them, Pink Rabbit jumps and twirls in the air. He jumps into one dancer’s hands. The dancer helps him leap into the air and soar across the stage. Pink Rabbit twirls mid-air and lands in the grasp of the dancers on either side of him.
[Audience cheering and applauding]
DESCRIPTION: The audience stands as they applaud.
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, that's my daughter's Pink Rabbit! She taught him everything he knows! I'm so proud.
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit and the other dancers take a bow. Isadora pulls out her star wand. She waves it toward Pink Rabbit, and a bouquet of pink roses lands in his arms.
[Audience cheering and applauding]
DESCRIPTION: In the lobby, Miss Cherry, Bartholomew, Oliver, JJ, Zoe, Sashi and Isadora stand by the doors.
OLIVER: That was amazing!
ZOE: Oh, I loved the bits where the bunny woke up.
[Door opening]
BARTHOLOMEW: Ooh, there they are! Prima ballerina and Prima bunny-rina!
DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit walks out of the dressing room hallway with his flowers. Tatiana follows, limping.
[Applause]
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, uh, uh, let me.
DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew holds Pink Rabbit’s flowers. Isadora pushes a stool over to Tatiana, and Tatiana takes a seat.
ISADORA: Oh, Pink Rabbit, you were amazing!
TATIANA: He certainly was. Thanks to you, Pink Rabbit, the show could go on, and of course, thanks to you, Isadora.
ISADORA: Oh, I didn't do anything.
TATIANA: Oh, but you did. You risked missing the show to help someone in need. A small act of kindness that had an enormous effect. And for that, I would like to say, thank you.
DESCRIPTION: Tatiana gives Isadora a gift-wrapped box. Isadora opens the gift.
[Paper ripping]
[Isadora gasping]
ISADORA: Your Sleeping Bunny ears? Oh, Tatiana, thank you!

DESCRIPTION: Pink Rabbit stands in the centre stage with the other dancers. On either side of Pink Rabbit, the other dancers perform the same twirls and jumps. Between them, Pink Rabbit jumps and twirls in the air. He jumps into one dancer’s hands. The dancer helps him leap into the air and soar across the stage. Pink Rabbit twirls mid-air and lands in the grasp of the dancers on either side of him.

ISADORA: Oh, I didn't do anything.
