[Episode title] Rainbow Quest.

DESCRIPTION: At the Moon family mansion, rain pours from dark clouds in the dark sky. In Cordelia’s greenhouse, Isadora and Zoe gaze into the backyard and frown.

ZOE: Ugh! Is it ever going to stop raining?! I was looking forward to our picnic so much!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Zoe turn their backs to the yard.

ISADORA: Well, let's think of something else to do. Like... Um...

DESCRIPTION: Isadora looks toward the rain, and she raises her eyebrows.

ISADORA: Mignonette?!

ZOE: How do you play that?

ISADORA: No! Mignonette's a fairy! Look!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora points toward the yard where Mignonette, a tiny blue-haired fairy, flies around with an umbrella.

MIGNONETTE: Where are you?

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette narrows her gaze and smiles.

MIGNONETTE: Oh!

ISADORA: Mignonette! Come inside!

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette flies into the greenhouse and puts away her umbrella.

MIGNONETE: Ooh! Hi, Isadora! And thanks, it's wetter than a walrus' wedding out there!

[Isadora and Zoe giggling]

ZOE: Hi! I'm Zoe.

MIGNONETTE: Mignonette! Tooth fairy, wand fixer, dragon trainer... You name it, I'll do it! Like today, I wasn't just flying around in the rain for the fun of it. I'm on an epic rainbow quest!

ISADORA: What?!

ZOE: Whoa!

MIGNONETTE: Today is rainy and sunny. So this is me big chance! Oh, if the rainbow would just hurry up and appear.

DESCRIPTION: Zoe looks outside into the rain.

ZOE SQUEALING: Eeeh! There's one over there!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Mignonette turn toward a rainbow in the distance.

MIGNONETTE: So beautiful!

DESCRIPTION: The colour of the rainbow brightens.

MIGNONETTE: That rainbow's not just pretty, bendy, stripy sky thing. It's my ticket to the Academy of Advanced Fairy Magic!

ISADORA: Huh?

MIGNONETTE: With a pot of gold from the rainbow's end, I can pay for the Academy, learn loads of new magic, and then get all sorts of great jobs!

ISADORA: The rainbow's end?! Wow. How are you going to get there?

MIGNONTTE: Glad you asked! No idea. See this?

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette glances toward a rainbow brooch holding up her ponytail.

MIGNONETTE: This brooch thingy is supposed to help, but I don't know what it does. Oh! Idea! How'd you like to come along and lend a hand? And a wand.

ISADORA: We'd love to! Right, Zoe?

ZOE: Oh, yeah! Way better than some soggy old picnic.

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette frowns, then awkwardly smiles.

MIGNONETTE: Right. Erm, well...

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette glances at Isadora.

ISADORA: What's up?

MIGNONETTE: Oh, nothing!

MIGNONETTE WHISPERING: But you know, she's not really magical like us, so she can't really help. So, will she even enjoy it that much?

ZOE: What?! I love magical adventures!

ISADORA: And there are lots of ways to help without being magical. All of us together? It'll be fun.

DESCRIPTION: Isadora puts her arm around Zoe. Outside, the rain stops.

MIGNONETTE: Well, okay.

[Mignonette gasping]

MIGNONETTE: Come on, it stopped raining!

DESCRIPTION: In the backyard, the sky slowly clears, and the sun shines bright.

ZOE: Whoo-hoo! Rainbow quest!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Zoe run into the kitchen with Mignonette. At the counter, Cordelia cuts fruit. Honeyblossom eats a bowl of fruit in her high chair.

[Honeyblossom babbling]

ISADORA: Mom! Can we go looking for the rainbow's end with Mignonette?

CORDELIA: Yes, of course! As long as you all stick together.

MIGNONETTE: We absolutely will, Countess Moon. Quest leader's promise!

DESCRIPTION: In the backyard, Mignonette hovers beside Isadora.

ISADORA: It's... that way!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora points toward the rainbow.

MIGNONETTE: We can't hang about. Now the rain's stopped, it won't be long before the rainbow fades!

ZOE: You can't normally get close to a rainbow, so how do we get there?

MIGNONETTE: Erm, fly towards it really fast, and hope something magical happens?

ISADORA: Uh, Zoe can't fly. Remember?

MIGNONETTE: Oh. Right. Hm. A-ha!

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette pulls out her wand and flies over to Zoe

MIGNONETTE: Safe and sound, up off the ground.

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette waves her wand, and bat wings appear on Zoe.

[Zoe gasping]

ZOE: I love them! Thanks, Mignonette!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe’s wings flap and lift her off the ground.

ZOE: Whoa!

[Zoe giggling]

ZOE: This is easy!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe starts to fly across the yard. Isadora flies after her. Zoe starts to fall, and Isadora grabs her hand.

ZOE: Whoa! Okay... not that easy.

[Isadora giggling]

ISADORA: Okay, Zoe.

MIGNONETTE: Uh, hello! Epic rainbow quest.

ZOE CHEERING: Yay!

ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe and Isadora fly with Mignonette over the fence and toward the rainbow. In a park, they fly across a clearing.

[Zoe giggling]

ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the –

ZOE: Whoa!

[Zoe giggling]

DESCRIPTION: Zoe flips upright.

ZOE: I'm totally getting the hang of this.

DESCRIPTION: Zoe flies into Isadora.

ZOE AND ISADORA GRUNTING: Oh!

ISADORA: You just need to focus on where you're flying to.

ZOE: Okay! Got it!

ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe speeds ahead. She sends Isadora spinning, then flips through the air.

ZOE: Ah! Whoa! Ah-ha!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe drops onto a park bench. Mignonette flies over.

MIGNONETTE: Keep up, slow wingers! The rainbow's miles away, over the forest now!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora pulls Zoe into the air. Mignonette continues toward the rainbow.

ISADORA: We've got to fly faster, Zoe. Speed up gradually, and really focus on –

ZOE CHEERING: Forest, here we come!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe takes off after Mignonette.

[Isadora giggling]

DESCRIPTION: Isadora watches Zoe.

ISADORA: Whoa!

[Zoe giggling]

ZOE: Whoa!

[Zoe giggling]

[Isadora giggling]

ISADORA: Whoa!

MIGNONETTE: Watch out!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe flies into Mignonette, and they fall into a bush.

[Bush rustling]

[Zoe giggling]

DESCRIPTION: Zoe and Mignonette appear from the bush. Mignonette frowns.

ZOE: Sorry!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora helps Zoe out of the bush.

[Zoe panting]

ZOE: Are we near the rainbow's end yet?!

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette flies above the trees and looks at the rainbow in the distance.

[Mignonette gasping]

MIGNONETTE: It looks further away than before! Way on the other side of this huge, vast, ginormous forest!

ZOE: Oh. My wings didn't help as much as I'd hoped.

MIGNONETTE: No, not one of my greatest ideas.

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette waves her wand, and Zoe’s wings disappear.

ISADORA: Still! I mean, how great is this? All of us enjoying a quest together. Ah, who needs wings anyway?

DESCRIPTION: Isadora skips through the forest. Mignonette follows close behind.

ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe follows Isadora and Mignonette.

ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end!

[Isadora chuckling]

ISADORA: Oh, that's so cute. Say it again.

ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end.

ZOE AND ISADORA CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end.

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette’s rainbow broach lights up and sparkles.

ISADORA AND ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the –

MIGNONETTE: I've got it!

DESCRIPTION: In a clearing with acorns and sticks, Isadora, Zoe and Mignonette pause.

MIGNONETTE: We got back to your house and ask your mom to fly us there in her car! It's a great idea.

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette flies away.

[Whooshing]

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette returns.

MIGNONETTE: It's a terrible idea. The rainbow might fade before we get there.

ZOE: Uh, could you magic up something like a flying car instead?

MIGNONETTE: I've got a better idea! I'll magic up something like a flying car! Ah-ha.

DESCRIPTION: Zoe frowns. Mignonette picks up an acorn cup and places it on a clear patch of grass. She waves her wand, and it grows to the size of a car.

ISADORA AND ZOE: Whoa!

MIGNONETTE: Thank you. Hop aboard!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora flies into the acorn and then helps Zoe climb up.

[Isadora grunting]

DESCRIPTION: Zoe falls into the acorn cup.

[Zoe grunting]

DESCRIPTION: Zoe flips upright and throws her hands in the air.

ZOE: Yes!

MIGNONETTE: Of course, hovering acorn cups are really a two-fairy thing. Still, let's get going! Safe and sound, above the ground.

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette’s wand sparkles, and a blue light wraps around the acorn cup. Isadora pulls out her wand. Using their wands like oars, Mignonette and Isadora row the acorn cup up off the ground.

ZOE: Oh, so cool! I want to row too!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe leans over the edge of the acorn cup and reaches for a stick. The acorn cup tilts.

ISADORA: Whoa!

MIGNONETTE: Uh! Ooh!

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette drops her wand.

ISADORA: Whoa!

ZOE: I've got it!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe leans over the other side of the acorn cup and reaches for Mignonette’s wand. The acorn cup tips, then Zoe, Isadora and Mignonette fall out.

ISADORA: Whoa!

MIGNONETTE GRUNTING: Oof. Ah.

DESCRIPTION: The acorn cup hits the ground and breaks in half.

[Thumping]

[Cracking]

DESCRIPTION: Zoe holds up Mignonette’s wand. Mignonette swipes it out of Zoe’s hand.

MIGNONETTE: So that didn't work.

ISADORA: What should we try next?

MIGNONETTE: Keep running, I suppose? Since we can do anything magical.

ZOE: I love running! Team rainbow, go!

DESCRIPTION: Zoe takes off running. Isadora and Mignonette smile and follow her through the forest.

ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end!

ZOE AND ISADORA CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end!

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette’s rainbow broach lights up and sparkles. Zoe suddenly stops.

ISADORA CHANTING: All good friends to the –

DESCRIPTION: Isadora runs into Zoe. Zoe and Isadora gaze ahead. Mignonette flies into Isadora. Her brooch shines bright.

[Chiming]

ZOE: Is that a witch?!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora smiles. Above the trees, Mirabelle flies on her broom.

[Whooshing]

ISADORA: Ooh, that's my cousin. Hi, Mirabelle! What are you doing?

DESCRIPTION: Mirabelle flies down to Isadora, Zoe and Mignonette.

MIRABELLE: A bit of broom practice. Mom's up there somewhere, cloud swooping too. Oh, hello, Mignonette.

MIGNONETTE: Nice to see you again!

ISADORA: Zoe, meet my cousin Mirabelle.

ZOE: Your witch cousin?! Ah! So great to meet you!

[Mirabelle giggling]

MIRABELLE: You too, Zoe.

MIGNONETTE: Oh, am I glad to see you. We're on an epic mission to reach the rainbow's end, and we could really use some magical help.

ZOE: This brooch is meant to help us, but we don't know how.

MIGNONETTE: It hasn't done a thing so far. Maybe I got given a dud.

[Isadora gasping]

ISADORA: Can you mix a witch's potion that'll get the brooch magic working?

MIRABELLE: One Mirabelle's miraculous power boost potion coming up!

DESCRIPTION: Mirabelle swaps her broom for her potion kit and mini cauldron. She sets down the kit and cauldron and pulls out a vial.

MIRABELLE: A sprinkle of bee's breath, a pinch of willow whisper...

DESCRIPTION: Mirabelle pours bee’s breath and willow whisper into the cauldron, and the potion bubbles.

[Potion bubbling]

ZOE: So amazing! Can I help?

MIRABELLE: Sure, add a tiny pinch of powdered stinkwort.

DESCRIPTION: Mirabelle points to a vial in her potions kit. Zoe grabs a vial and shakes splashes of the ingredient into the cauldron.

ZOE: Check me out!

MIRABELLE: Yeah, but this is spider shimmy, not stinkwort! And that was not a tiny pinch.

DESCRIPTION: The cauldron shakes. Green liquid splashes out.

ISADORA: Everyone, stand back!

[Potion bubbling]

DESCRIPTION: Mirabelle, Isadora, Zoe and Mignonette move away from the cauldron.

[Potion sizzling and whistling]

DESCRIPTION: The potion bursts into the air and explodes into fireworks.

EVERYONE: Wow! Whoa! Whoa!

[Fireworks crackling]

MIRABELLE: That was spectacular!

MIGNONETTE: Oh, yes! But it hasn't made me brooch work.

ISADORA: And the rainbow's starting to fade.

DESCRIPTION: In the distance, the rainbow starts to fade.

MIGNONETTE: I need that pot of gold, or I can't go to the fairy academy! Any chance of another try?

MIRABELLE: Sorry, I've got to look for some more spider shimmy.

DESCRIPTION: Mirabelle waves her hand. Her potions kit and cauldron disappear, and her broom reappears.

MIRABELLE: Good luck with the quest! You're gonna need it.

DESCRIPTION: Mirabelle flies away on her broom. Mignonette flies up to Zoe.

MIGNONETE: It's okay. You can't help not being magical. I mean it. Don't feel bad.

ZOE: I feel really bad now!

ISADORA: The rainbow may be fading, but it's still there. So we still have a chance! If we stick together, we can do this, somehow.

MIGNONETTE: You might be right. You probably aren't. But you might be.

ISADORA: That's the spirit! Kind of. Let's do your chant together! Team rainbow, go!

ISADORA AND ZOE: Yeah!

ISADORA: It may not be magical, but it'll cheer us all up.

ISADORA AND ZOE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Zoe hold hands and skip around in a circle.

ZOE: Come on, Mignonette, join in!

ISADORA, ZOE AND MIGNONETTE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end! All good friends to the rainbow's end!

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette’s rainbow brooch lights up and sparkles.

ISADORA: Mignonette! Look at your brooch!

MIGNONETTE: Oh! Why is it doing that?

ISADORA: I think Zoe's friendship chant is powering up its magic. It stops when we stop. Come on! Let's keep chanting!

ISADORA CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end!

ISADORA, ZOE AND MIGNONETTE CHANTING: All good friends to the rainbow's end! All good friends to the rain –

DESCRIPTION: The colours of the rainbow burst out of the rainbow brooch, and Isadora, Zoe and Mignonette teleport to the end of the rainbow.

ISADORA: Amazing!

ZOE: Whoa!

MIGNONETTE: I've never seen anything so beautiful!

ZOE: Come on! Rainbow dance!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Zoe hold hands and skip around in a circle. Colourful sparkles shine between them, and they step back.

[Chiming]

DESCRIPTION: A pot of gold appears.

ISADORA: There it is!

[Mignonette gasping]

MIGNONETTE: The fairy gold! Whoo-hoo! Fairy academy, here I come!

ISADORA: Yay! We did it!

MIGNONETTE: You've both helped me so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

DESCRIPTION: Mignonette hugs Zoe’s cheek.

MIGNONETTE: I get it now. You don't have to be magical to be an amazing friend!

ZOE: Friendship is the best! No, wait. Magic's the best! Um, can we have two bests?

ISADORA: We definitely can.

[Isadora giggling]

ISADORA, ZOE AND MIGNONETTE: All good friends at the rainbow's end! All good friends at the rainbow's end!

DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Zoe hold hands and skip around the pot of gold. Mignonette flies around them.
