Transcript
(It fades with a twister landing on a light blue background, and The Wiggles' logo swirls around the twister and onto the screen with the text saying presents, The Wiggles present logo then falls and the video's title card swirls around the twister and onto the screen, and the text says "Written by Zach Moore and Zach Carter" fades in, then the twister transitions us to The Wiggles in front of Wigglehouse on a windy day)

Tsehay: Hi (with others) We're The Wiggles, I'm Tsehay

Lachy: I'm Lachy

Simon: I'm Simon

Anthony: And I'm Anthony, And it's very windy today, The weatherman said a twister is gonna hit Wiggle Town, so we've invited all of our friends to come to the Wigglehouse basement for safety.

Simon: Because that’s what good friends do. We all look out for each other.

Lachy: That’s a very good notion Simon. Hmm, I wonder if our friends are on their way here yet?

(It then cuts to the Wiggly Friends securing the sail on the S.S Feathersword)

Henry: Okay Captain, we've secured the sail, so it doesn't rip up in the storm

Shirley Shawn: Scrumptious

Captain: Well done me hearties!

Dorothy: (sighs)

Captain: What's the matter Dorothy?

Dorothy: Oh Captain, me and Wags were supposed to go to the wiggle town rosy ballet recital today, but it was canceled because of the twister.

Wags: (whimpers and comforts her)

Captain: Oh dear, how unfortunate.

Dorothy: Captain, I know that you love sailing all around the world and I'm sure you've been to just about everywhere. But... don't you ever wonder if there's more out there? A place where there isn't any trouble? A place where not even a twister could ruin a perfect day like today? A place that's further away than the sea, the sky, even the moon?

Captain: Wow, um... well let's see here uh... (gasps) Wait! Twister!

(Captain takes out and looks at his phone and looks at his the time and weather warning).

Captain: Oh no! We were supposed to meet the wiggles at Wigglehouse a long time ago!

Henry: Oh my! And it looks like the twister's on it's way to Wiggletown!

Captain: Come on me hearties, let's head over to Wigglehouse quickly!

Wiggly Friends: (singing) We better run run run, the storm is on it's way, we better run run run, to Wigglehouse today, We better run run run, the storm is on it's way, we better run run run, to Wigglehouse today

(Henry, Shirley Shawn and Captain Feathersword run towards Wigglehouse)

Dorothy: It's a Storm, Whoa!

(Wags and Dorothy are about to run, but they are pushing against the strong wind, and it cuts to Henry, Shirley Shawn, and Captain Feathersword running ahead down the road to the Wigglehouse)

Shirley Shawn: (frighteningly) Scrumptious!

Captain: (shouting against the loud noises) Don't worry Shirley Shawn, we're almost there!

(Dorothy and Wags are slowly fallen behind as Dorothy turns towards a garden gait).

Dorothy: (shouting against the loud noises) This way Wags! I know a shortcut to Wigglehouse through my garden!

Wags: Ruff!

(Dorothy and Wags push through into the garden and it cuts to Henry, Shirley Shawn, and Captain Feathersword arriving at Wigglehouse where Tsehay is holding the door open slightly)

Captain: (shouting against the loud noises) Hey Tsehay! We're here!

Tsehay: (shouting against the loud noises) But where are Dorothy and Wags?

Captain: (shouting against the loud noises) Huh? They were just behind us!

Henry: (shouting against the loud noises) I'm sure they've found another safe place to shelter from the storm!

Shirley Shawn: (shouting against the loud noises) Scrumptious!

Captain: (shouting against the loud noises) I hope there OK too Shirley!

Tsehay: (shouting against the loud noises) Hurry, get into the basement!

(Shirley Shawn, Henry and Captain Feathersword rush into Wigglehouse and shut the door behind them just as Dorothy and Wags come running from the garden covered in loose rose petals)

Dorothy: (shouting against the loud noises) We made it! Come on Wags, let's head inside!

(They attempt to open the door, but it’s locked)

Dorothy: (shouting against the loud noises) Wiggles! Wiggles, open up! Please! Oh no, they must already be in the basement! What’ll we do Wags?

Wags: Ruff Ruff!

(Wags points to his kennel right next to Wigglehouse)

Dorothy: (shouting against the loud noises) Good idea Wags! We’ll be safe in your kennel!

(Dorothy and Wags crawl into Wags’ kennel just as the twister approaches Wigglehouse)

Dorothy: Hang on Wags! I have a feeling this will be a bumpy ride!

(The twister pulls Wags and Dorothy, and as they're looking out of the window of the kennel they see number of bizarre objects flying past them, including Officer Beaples flying on her purple motor bike as they wave to them from the outside.  When the kennel finally comes hurdling down toward the ground, they end up in a magical land.  They both slowly crawl out from inside the kennel.)

Dorothy: Wow, what a twister! But, where are we?

Wags: Ruff?

Dorothy: Oh Wags, I don't think we're in Wiggletown anymore

Munchkin Samuel: (offscreen) That's because you're not

Dorothy: Who said that?

Munchkin Samuel: (offscreen) I did, down here
