Barbie & Her Sisters in a Puppy Chase Page #5

How much further?

We're going as fast as we can,

but this road is kind of windy.

You think?

Sorry, guys. You better hang on tight.

Girls. Girls.

Everyone, be sure to sign in

and take your places.

We're about to start.

Oh, no.

Why are we stopping?

Huh? Are we there yet?

The bridge is washed out.

How is this possible?

We're going to have to go back around

the other way.

I'm sorry, Chelsea,

but that means we won't make it in time

for your dance competition.

But we're so close.

Chelsea looks worried. Why'd we stop, Mom?

The trailer can't make it over the bridge.

That poor girl isn't gonna be able

to get to her show.

Hmm.

Mom, we can get them there.

You know, we can't take you across,

but I think I know someone who can.

This next dancer definitely knows

how to heat up the dance floor.

Who's ready for some flaming batons?

Ooh.

I do love flaming batons.

The horses will be able

to get you across the bridge.

- I don't know how we can thank you.

- How about a hug?

You just get back there

in time for your competition.

And remember, have fun.

We'll wait here

until you get safely across.

There you go, Chels.

I call frontsies.

Fine, but no wild ride.

Up and at them.

I learned that when I was a junior

stable girl one summer in Willows.

- Ready?

- Ready.

We got this.

Ride them, cow dog.

Good job, Spirit.

- Yes.

- Yay!

Who's next?

We'll go.

Come on, Silver.

- Can I change my mind?

- Hiyah!

Yeah.

Did we make it?

Phew.

You're next, Chelsea.

You can do it.

Just have to get over the bridge.

Please. We're so close.

You can do it, Beauty.

Yeah, we got this.

- We did it, Beauty.

- Yeah.

- Way to go, Chelsea.

- Go, Chelsea.

All right, you girls, we'll go around

and meet you at the show.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

Come on, let's ride.

Way to go, honey. Whoo-hoo.

What a wonderful interpretive dance

on the life cycle of the tsetse fly.

Why does this keep happening?

Which way?

Uh...

That way.

Thank you for that wonderful

Irish interpretation, Jenny.

Next up, Lindsay.

The stage has gotta be

just over this hill.

No.

- It can't be.

- How?

We're back at the banyan tree.

This stinks.

What do we do now?

Yeah, what's our next crazy plan

to get out of here?

I...

I don't know.

But you always have a plan.

Yeah, where's your over-the-top optimism?

I don't know what else to do.

Are we really not gonna make it?

I'm sorry, Chels.

You were right, you all were.

We should have just gone straight

to the hotel.

None of this would've ever happened

if I hadn't insisted on going

to the horse festival. I messed up.

Just because you mess up

doesn't mean you fail.

As long as you get out there

and do your best, that's all that matters.

Yeah, but you guys count on me to know

what to do, and I don't always know.

Half the time,

I was just as scared as you.

You could have let us know

you were scared too.

Yeah, Barbie, we'd get it.

We're sisters.

You can tell us when you're worried.

I'm sorry I ruined your trip.

I know how important your

dance competition was to you, Chelsea.

And, Stacie, I know you wanted

to do all those island sports.

And, Skipper, you just wanted to relax

and enjoy some island Wi-Fi.

Some vacation.

You know, if it wasn't for the bad things

that happened,

we never would have had

this adventure together.

I mean, who else got to see

the island from everywhere?

And I did learn some new moves

at the Dancing Horse Festival.

I guess it was kind of fun.

When I wasn't plane sick.

Or golf-cart sick. Or zip-line sick.

Really?

I mean, it would have been more fun

with the pups.

And Wi-Fi.

And cupcakes.

But, yeah. I just hope the pups

had as good of a time as we did.

- Better.

- We rocked this island.

We sure did.

Best vacation ever.

I guess we're stuck camping

under the stars for another night.

Should we play the What If game again?

That's it.

- What's it?

- The stars.

Remember what Auntie Anna said

about the location of the hotel?

It's north.

Just like the macaw constellation points

to the North Star.

Hey, you're not the only one

who knows stuff about stuff.

Come on, girls.

We can follow the macaw constellation

like the native fishermen

used to use it to find their way home.

But how are we ever going

to get there in time?

Don't worry. I know a shortcut.

Another shortcut?

Yeah, but this time

we have a map we can't lose.

Now here's Lindsay

with her take on an old classic.

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Are we gonna make it?

We've gotta try.

With these horses and those stars,

it's our best chance

of getting you there in time.

Chelsea Roberts?

Chelsea Roberts?

Chelsea Roberts?

Last call for Chelsea Roberts.

Whoa.

The competition. We're gonna make it.

And we might even have time to change too.

Let's go, girls. Chelsea has a show to do.

All performers present

have now completed their routines.

The competition is now closed,

and we have chosen a winner.

Wait.

I'm here.

Chelsea Roberts. Sorry, I'm late.

I'm terribly sorry, Miss Roberts,

but you're too late.

I'm about to announce the winner.

Quick, give her puppy eyes.

Please.

I suppose we can make an exception.

- Everyone deserves a chance to compete.

- Mm-hm.

Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

Gets them every time.

You made it.

Chelsea is about to go on.

- All right, Chelsea.

- Go, Chels.

Show them how it's done.

You can do it.

Yeah, I got this.

Hit it, auntie.

I could really use a partner, Beauty.

I'm gonna have to show her

how it's really done.

Spirit, wait.

Go, Spirit.

Not bad, Beauty.

Hi. Heh.

Come on.

Yeah.

I can do that.

Oh, yeah, gonna get my groove on.

DJ, stop. Rookie, no.

What do we do now?

We dance.

Hey, Archie.

Come on up and dance with us.

Oh, my little dumplings,

you know I don't dance.

You're already tapping your paw.

And your tail is waggling to the beat.

Come dance with us.

But I've never won a Best in Dance ribbon.

It doesn't matter. Anyone can dance.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I've got it. I've got it.

I, uh, kind of like his moves.

- Me too.

- Let's all do the Archie.

Coming through. Look at me now.

Let's do the Archie. Whoo-hoo.

Genius.

Why, listen to the applause.

How have I never made dancing

part of my repertoire?

This is amazing.

Wow, Miss Roberts.

What an amazing show of choreography.

Your dance was both expressive

and surprising.

Your use of horses, and puppies,

and your sisters, was extremely creative.

In consideration of such an inventive

and entertaining performance,

and with Lindsay's enthusiastic support,

the judges have agreed to award you

the winner's trophy.

That was awesome, Chelsea.

You totally deserve to win.

Go ahead. It's yours.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong.

I plan on winning it back

at the next competition.

You can try.

- Yeah.

- Awesome.

- Yeah.

- All right.

I couldn't have done it without my sisters,

Barbie, Skipper and Stacie.

- Thanks, Chels.
