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 present, 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?

Tsehay: I sure hope so Lachy, the wind storm is about to come soon.

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

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

Shirley Shawn: Scrumptious

Captain: Well done me hearties! That was the best battening down of the hatches I've ever seen. Arrrgh!

(Captain Feathersword notices Dorothy and Wags sitting sadly on wooden step)

Dorothy: (sadly sighs)

Captain: What's the matter Dorothy?

Dorothy: Oh Captain, me and Wags were supposed to go to the Wiggletown 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 would've been? A place that's further away than the sea, the sky, or even the moon?

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

(Captain looks at his watch).

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

(Wags and Dorothy look down and see a lot of munchkins who look like the Wiggly Dancers)

Munchkin Samuel: Welcome to the land of Aus! We're munchkins!

Dorothy: Munchkins?

Wags: (Ruffing) Munchkins?

Munchkins: Munchkins!

Munchkin Dom: What are your names?

Dorothy: My name is Dorothy the Dinosaur (She shakes the munchkins' hands with her thumb) and this is my friend Wags the Dog.

Wags: Ruff (He shakes the munchkins' hands with his thumb)

Munchkin John: Well it's a pleasure to meet you Dorothy and Wags.

Munchkin Lucia: We'd like to welcome you to our little village of munchkin land by doing what we do best!

Dorothy: And what's that?

Munchkins: Singing and Dancing!

(The music begins)

Munchkin John: (singing) Welcome to the land of Aus

Munchkin Dom: (singing) We’re so glad you’re here because

Munchkin Paul: (singing) New friends make us really glad

Munchkin Samual: (singing) We love to share this magic land

Munchkin John: (singing) Samual, Clare, Paul, Dominic and you

Munchkin Evie: (singing) And let us not for get our Lollipop guild

Munchkin Dom: (singing) If you'd like to meet them they're just over on that hill

Munchkins: (singing) Here they are, our Lollipop Guild

(Instrumental break to the Lollipop guild led by Bok doing a dance with over-sized lollipops)

Munchkins: (singing) Welcome to Munchkin land, hey!

Dorothy: (giggles) Bravo! Bravo!

Glinda: (offscreen) Yes! Bravo!

Dorothy: Huh?

Wags: (ruffing) Huh?

(Glinda the good witch floats down from the sky and gives a bow)

Glinda: Tootle pop pops Dorothy and Wags

Dorothy: You-you know our names?

Glinda: Of course I do. My name in Glinda, the good witch of the north. I see all in the land of Aus, and I know all about you're little problem.

Dorothy: Well yes, me and Wags were pulled away in his dog kennel by a giant twister. And as happy and lovely as this place is, we need to get back home to our friends in Wiggletown.

Wags: (while nodding) Ruff!

Dorothy: (sighs) This is just what I was talking about Wags, we're lost in a place we've never been before because of that awful storm. Why can't things just go perfectly every day?

Glinda: Hmm, I believe I can be of some assistance. Here you are.

(Glinda uses her wand to make sparkly rosy red ballet slippers onto Dorothy's feet)

Dorothy: (gasps) Oh, these ballet slippers are beautiful!

Munchkins: (they look at the ballet slippers, feeling amazed) Ooh!

Glinda: These slippers will be a great help in getting you and Wags back home. I've saved them especially for an occasion like today.

Wicked Witch: (offscreen) (cackles)

(The Wicked Witch comes flying down on her broomstick)

Dorothy: Who's she?

Wags: Ruff?

Glinda: That would be the wicked witch of the west.

Wicked Witch: That's my name, don't wear it out! And don't wear out those slippers either, for they rightfully belong to me!

Dorothy: Oh, um... well you can have them if you'd like.

Glinda: I think not!

(Glinda Waves her wand and pushes back the wicked witches hands from Dorothy's feet)

Glinda: Remember this and remember it well Dorothy. Those slippers are very powerful and very special, so whatever you do you mustn't take them off.

Wicked Witch: Oh botheration! Nevermind, I'll get those slippers if it's the last thing I ever do...today.

(The Wicked Witch hops on her broomstick and flies away)

Wicked Witch: (cackles)

Wags: (fearfully whimpers)

Dorothy: Oh dear, she really is wicked.

Glinda: Oh, she is. And something tells me you'll be seeing her again. So you must make haste to the Opal city just at the end of the yellow brick road behind me. There you will meet the great and powerful Wiggles of Aus, who will help you get home.

Dorothy: Thank you Glinda, and thank you Munchkins for that lovely song and dance.

Munchkins: You're welcome!

Glinda: Well off you go now Dorothy, and good luck!

(Dorothy and Wags start walking down the yellow brick road)

Dorothy: Bye everyone! (giggles)

Wags: (ruffing) Goodbye!

Munchkins: Goodbye!

(The music begins as Wags and Dorothy walk down the road)

Dorothy: (singing) Follow the yellow brick road

Follow the yellow brick road

Follow, follow, follow, follow

Follow the yellow brick road

Follow the rainbow over the stream

Follow the fellow who follows a dream

Follow, follow, follow, follow

Follow the yellow brick road

We're off to see the Wiggles

The wonderful Wiggles of Aus

We hear they are a gig of a wig

If ever a wig there was

If ever, oh ever a wig there was

The Wiggles of Aus are one because

Because, because, because, because, because

Because of the things they tell to us

We're off to see the Wiggles

The wonderful Wiggles of Aus

We're off to see the Wiggles

The wonderful Wiggles of Aus

We hear they are a gig of a wig

If ever a wig there was

If ever, oh ever a wig there was

The Wiggles of Aus are one because

Because, because, because, because, because

Because of the things they tell to us

We're off to see the Wiggles

The wonderful Wiggles of Aus

(Dorothy and Wags pause walking in the middle of a cornfield in front of a Scarecrow tied to a pole that resembles Henry the Octopus)

Dorothy: How much further do you think it is Wags?

Wags: (ruffing) I dunno.

Scare-octo: Well it shouldn't be much further if you're near. However if your further than that you've got quite a ways to go.

Dorothy: Who said that?

(Wags faces and growls at the scare-octo)

Wags: (growls)

Dorothy: Wags, don't be silly. Scarecrows can't talk.

Scare-octo: I suppose you're right about that, but what do they say about scare-octos?

Dorothy: (gasps) You can talk! Wait, what's a scare-octo?

Henry: Well I've been told that it's a combination of both a scarecrow and an octopus. Whatever those two things may be. Not that I would've figured it out myself, I haven't got a brain.

Dorothy: You haven't got a brain?

Henry: Nope.

(A crow lands on the scare-octo's arm.)

Scare-octo: Oh bother. Shoo! Off you go, Shoo!

Crow: (Caws)

Scare-octo: Oh dear. You see here? Without a brain, I don't even know how to care a crow.

(The music begins)

Scare-octo: (singing) I'm the brainless scare-octo

I haven't got a brain, you know

If I did, i'd think all day

But instead i'm all straw and hay

I can't scare a single crow

It's fear that they don't show

I can't do my job, what a shame

If only I had a brain

Dorothy: Oh my. Well, would it help if I were to help you down from that pole?

Scare-octo: Well, I suppose it would be nice to come down for a while. After all, I can't remember the last time I was taken off this pole. Oh, did I forget to mention? I don't have a brain.

Wags: (ruffing) Aye aye aye!

(Dorothy unties the first of the scare-octo's knot causing his arm to shoot downwards)

Scare-octo: Whoa! Oh thank you. I'll get this one.

(The scare-octo unties the other knot causing his whole body to fall on the ground and hay to fall out of his chest).

Scare-octo: Whoa! (laughs)

Dorothy: Oh my goodness! Are you OK?

Scare-octo: Oh, no harm done. Now I can gather up all this loose hay.

(Scare-octo begins gathering up a pile of loose hay that had previously fallen out of him)

Dorothy: You've lost that much hay? Doesn't it hurt?

Scare-octo: No, not at all. No brain means no pain. Hey, that rhymes! I think.

Dorothy: Scare-octo?

Scare-octo: Yes?

Dorothy: My name is Dorothy the Dinosaur, and this is my friend Wags the Dog.

Wags: Ruff!

Dorothy: And we're on our way to the opal city to meet the Wiggles of Aus. They're going to help us back to our home in Wiggletown. And if they can help us get back home, then I'm sure they can give you a brain!

Scare-octo: (gasps) Do you really think so?

Dorothy: Of course I do!

Scare-octo: Well OK! Off we go!

(Scare-octo spins around and falls over)

Scare-octo: Whoa! Oh don't worry, i'm alright!

Dorothy: Come on, link arms with me and Wags. We'll walk together.

Scare-octo: OK!

(The three link arms and start skipping down the yellow road)

Dorothy: Off we go!

(The three skip across the yellow road and through a forest until they come across a rusted tin pirate that looks like Captain Feathersword)

Dorothy: Huh?

Scare-octo: Huh?

Wags: (ruffing) Huh?

Dorothy: What is this?

Scare-octo: I don't know.

Dorothy: This looks to be a pirate made up of some sort of tin. Oh, but the poor thing is all worn and rusty.

(The scare-octo finds and picks up an axe with feathers as the head.)

Scare-octo: Hey, look what I found. What's this?

Dorothy: It's an axe made of featers! Maybe we could use it to tickle the tin pirate so it'll un-rust.

Scare-octo: Great idea Dorothy!

Wags: Ruff!

(The scare-octo gives Dorothy the feather axe and she tickles the tin pirate, and the tin pirate un-rusts and begins to laugh)

Tin Pirate: (laughing) Oh, Thank you! Thank you so very much. I thought I was never gonna un-rust! But thank goodness you've come along.

Dorothy: (giggles) You're very welcome. My name is Dorothy the Dinosaur, and these are my friend Wags the Dog...

Wags: Ruff!

Dorothy: ...and the brainless scare-octo.

Scare-octo: Hello there!

Tin Pirate: Ahoy there me hearties! I'm pleased to meet you all. I'm the tin pirate.

Dorothy: Why were you all rusty tin pirate?

Tin Pirate: Well, age probably had something to do with it. But also, I must've been crying again. Whenever I cry I rust up.

Dorothy: But why were you crying?

Tin Pirate: I was crying because all of my life I've wished to be like the other pirates in the land of Aus and sail the seas with a passion. But then I always remember, people made of tin don't have hearts. I haven't got a heart, and without a heart I haven't got a passion. And without a passion I've never been able to achieve my dream.

(The music begins)

Tin Pirate: (singing) I'm the heartless tin pirate

and I'm in quite a rut

Without a heart I can't follow my dream

That's the way it seems

So everyday when I think it through

I just don't know what to do

So everyday with no sun in the sky

I begin to cry

(The tin pirate starts to cry, while Dorothy cries too, and Wags gives her a blue handkerchief)

Dorothy: (crying) Oh, that's so sad (blowing nose)

Tin Pirate: (crying) It certainly is

(The tin pirate rusts again and Dorothy stops crying)

Dorothy: Oh no, he's rusted again!

(The scare-octo picks up the feather axe and tickles the tin pirate)

Scare-octo: Coochie coochie coo!

(The tin pirate un-rusts and begins to laugh again)

Tin Pirate: (laughs) Oh, I did it again didn't I?

Scare-octo: Yup.

Dorothy: Tin Pirate? Me and my friends are going to the Opal city to meet the Wiggles of Aus. They're going to help me and Wags get back to our home in Wiggletown, and give scare-octo a brain. And if he can do that, then i'm sure he could give you a heart.

Tin Pirate: You mean it?

(Dorothy nods)

Tin Pirate: Why, with a heart I can fulfill my dream of being a real pirate! Oh thank you thank you thank you Dorothy! I'd love to come with you!

Dorothy: OK then, off we go!

(Dorothy puts her hanky down and The four friends link arms and continue skipping down the yellow road through the forest until they come across a purple unicorn's tail sticking out from behind a bush)

Tin Pirate: Hey, what's that?

Dorothy: It looks like a tail.

Wags: Ruff?

(Wags kneels down and lightly touches the tail)

Dorothy: Wags don't!

(A unicorn with only a slightly longer Maine that’s Shirley Shawn the Unicorn pops up from behind the bush)

Tin Pirate: Oh, it's nothing to worry about, it's just a little unicorn

Unicorn: Hey, who are you calling little? I’ll have you know I graduated from mythical creature university years ago, and I’m as big as a big unicorn can be!

(A bird comes flying onto a branch behind them and chirps)

Unicorn: (yelps)

(The unicorn hides behind the bush)

Dorothy: Oh my, you’re rather jumpy!

Unicorn: That's because I'm scared

Dorothy: Oh, well there's nothing to be scared of, I'm Dorothy the Dinosaur, and these are my friends, Wags the Dog, The Scare-octo, and the Tin Pirate

Scare-octo: It's nice to meet you, but, why exactly are you scared?

Unicorn: Well, have you ever heard of the Lion and the Unicorn?

Dorothy: The ones who sung for the crown?

Tin Pirate: Wasn’t it the lion who won?

Unicorn: It sure was, he won because right when I was about to hit my highest note I got scared and my voice cracked. And since then, well, let's put it this way.

(The music begins)

Unicorn: (singing) I'm the cowardly unicorn

And I am so forlorn

My singing voice lost to a lion

He's brave and I'm not lyin'

So now my voice, it lives in fear

Hiding in this bush here

If I had courage, it would be

A perfect life for me

Scare-octo: That sounds awful! Just one question: what's courage?

Dorothy: Having courage means to be very brave.

Scare-octo: Oh! I still don't get it.

Wags: (groans)

Unicorn: What Dorothy means is I'm just to scared to sing or even show my face after losing to the lion. But on a positive note-

(The Unicorn reaches down and grabs food from underneath the bush)

Unicorn: I still have plenty of white bread, brown bread and plum cake that they gave us both while drumming us out of town.

Dorothy: Well, mx. unicorn. We're on our way to see the Wiggles of Aus in the opal city. They're going to give the Tin pirate a heart, the Scare-octo a brain, and help me and Wags get back home. And if they can do all of those things, than they must be able to give you some courage.

Unicorn: (gasps) Really?

Dorothy: Of course!

Unicorn: Well maybe I will go with you! But um, what if something happens while we're going along?

Dorothy: I should hope nothing will. After all, nothing bad has happened since me and Wags got here. But even if something does, I promise that I'll be right by you're side. All of you!

Unicorn: Why thank you Dorothy!

(The same bird flies behind the unicorn and chirps)

Unicorn: (yelps)

(The unicorn jumps and hides behind Wags)

Wags: Ruff?

Unicorn: Oh, I really need that courage.

Tin Pirate: Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!

(The five friends link arms and skip down the yellow road)

Scare-octo: Hey Dorothy, I'm curious. What's this place called Wiggletown you keep talking about?

Dorothy: Well Scare-octo, Wiggletown is where me and Wags come from. It's a far ways away from here in Aus. We live there with all of our friends. Oh they must miss us so much, and we miss them so very much too. That's why we really need the wizard to help us get home. But you know what?

Scare-octo, Tin Pirate and Unicorn: What?

Dorothy: Being with you three... well it makes it seem like they're right here with us.

Wags: (ruffing) Uh-huh!

Tin Pirate: Aw, that's so sweet! Oh, now don't go any further or else I might rust again.

Dorothy: (giggles) Oh, Tin pirate!

(The firends continue skipping just as the Wicked witch tip toes out from behind a tree)

Wicked Witch: You're not going anywhere Dorothy, I need those ballet slippers! And I think I've got an idea on how to get! (cackles)

(The friends stop skipping and gaze at a giant opal city just past a giant field of roses)

Dorothy: Oh look! The opal city is just straight ahead!

Wags: Ruff Ruff!

Scare-octo: It's beautiful!

Tin Pirate: It's magnificent!

Unicorn: It's scrumptious!

Dorothy: (giggles) Come on everybody let's go!

(They all run towards the city through the field of roses and the wicked witch creeps up behind them)

Wicked Witch: Oh my, you all are doing an awful lot of running. Why not take a minute to stop and smell the roses? (cackles)

(The wicked witch points here wand at the field of roses and casts a spell upon them. Meanwhile, the friends continue running through the rose field and Dorothy and Wags stop in front of the roses as Dorothy nibbles them)

Dorothy: Ooh, Wags smell these roses! These are just as good as the ones back home!

(Wags smells the roses and he and Dorothy start yawning)

Dorothy: (yawns) Oh my. Suddenly i'm very sleepy. Nevermind though, we've got to catch up with the others. Come on Wags.

Wags: (yawns)

(Dorothy and Wags slowly make there way through the field as the scare-octo, tin pirate and unicorn stop on top of the hill just in front of the city)

Scare-octo: Ooh, we're nearly there!

Unicorn: Wait, where are Dorothy and Wags?

Tin Pirate: Oh, there they are, at the bottom of the hill! But they've fallen asleep! Come on, we better go and wake them up!

(The three friends run to the bottom of the hill to wake them up)

Dorothy and Wags: (snores)

Scare-octo: Dorothy, Wags! Wake up! We're almost to the Opal city!

Unicorn: Oh no, it's no use! They're fast asleep! I knew we were running too fast!

Tin Pirate: Uhh, I don't think it was the running. Look!

(The Tin Pirate points across the field to the wicked witch coming towards them)

Wicked Witch: (cackles) Those rosy ballet slippers are mine!

Unicorn: (gasps) It's that terrible wicked witch of the west! And she's coming for Dorothy's slippers!

Tin Pirate: She must've done something to the roses to make Dorothy and Wags fall asleep! Come on Dorothy! Wags! Please wake up!

Dorothy and Wags: (snores)

Tin Pirate: It's no good! We need to think of a way to wake them up, and fast! The witch is coming!

Scare-octo: Hmm. Oh, I have an idea! Dorothy and Wags love music, so why don't we sing a song to wake them up?

Unicorn: Great idea Scare-octo!

Tin Pirate: Yeah, and a really good one for a guy who doesn't have a brain. Now come on me hearties, let's sing!

Three friends: (singing) Wake up! Wake up, Dorothy, please!

Wake up! Wake up, Wagsy, please!

Unicorn: (singing) The witch is coming right this way

And we really need your help today

Tin Pirate: The opal city is just ahead

So climb on out of that flower bed

Three friends: (singing) It must be warmer for you to stay in bed.

All we're asking is Wake up, Wake up sleepyheads!

Wake up! Wake up, Dorothy, please!

Wake up! Wake up, Wagsy, please!

Oh, woa-oa-oah! La la la la!

Oh, woa-oa-oah! La la la la!

Scare-octo: (singing) The witch really wants your ballet shoes

So now's not the time to have a snooze

(The Wicked Witch approaches)

Wicked Witch: (singing) You're to late, I've caught up to you

Now to swipe those ballet shoes!

Three friends: (singing) It must be warmer for you to stay in bed.

All we're asking is Wake up, Wake up sleepyheads!

Wake up! Wake up, Dorothy, please!

Wake up! Wake up, Wagsy, please!

Oh, woa-oa-oah! La la la la!

Oh, woa-oa-oah! La la la la!

Wake Up!

(Dorothy and Wags wake up)

Dorothy: (yawns) What happened?

Wags: Ruff?

Dorothy: (gasps) The Wicked Witch!

Unicorn: Come on! Run!

(The five friends run over the hill and to the opal city)

Wicked Witch: No! Come back here! Bring me back those slippers! Oh, I guess I'll have to come up with a new plans

(The Wicked Witch flies away on her broom stick as five friends arrive at the opal city)

Dorothy: We're here!

Doorkeepers: Welcome to the Opal City!

(The music begins)

Doorkeeper 1: (singing) Open up the doors

Doorkeeper 2: (singing) Come right on inside

Doorkeepers: (singing) The Opal city awaits your presents

(The doors to the opal city open)

Dorothy: Come on!

(Inside, the residents of the city are dancing and singing to welcome the new visitors)

Resident 1: (singing) Welcome to the opal city

Resident 2 (singing): Home of fun, hope and joy

Resident 3: (singing) We greet you with this lovely music

Resident 4: (singing) We sing to every girl and boy

Scare-octo: Ohh!

Tin Pirate: Ahh!

Unicorn: Woah!

Dorothy: This place is amazing!

Wags: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!

(An opal city coachman pulls over his horse and carriage in front of the friends and rolls out a red carpet from the door to their feet)

Coachman: Hop aboard, there's much to see!

(The friends climb aboard the horse and carriage and the attendant continues driving the horse)

Coachman: (singing) Come along and see the sights

This whole place was built by hand

And when we reach our destination

You will be treated with a spa and band

(The Coachman stops the horse and carriage in front of a group of Troubadours who are playing an instrumental next to a group of Estheticians who give the friends a massage and a haircut as they get off the carriage)

Esthetician 1: (singing) We'll care for you and keep you safe

Esthetician 2: (singing) We'll make you shine wherever you roam

Esthetician 3: (singing) Everyone is welcome here

Esthetician 4: (singing) We wish to make you feel at home

(The Estheticians finish massaging the friends and they hop out of their seats)

Dorothy: (gasps) Home! Oh that's right! Come on everybody, we need to find the-

(Suddenly, the lights go out and a spotlight is lit on a stage nearby)

Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great excitement to introduce to you the magical, musical, magnificent quartet of wonder: The Wonderful Wiggles of Aus!

(Four magical wizards that resemble Tsehay, Simon, Lachy and Anthony poof onto the stage with instruments)

Wiggles: Woah! Hello!

Five Friends: It's them!

Nomis: (singing) The Wiggles of Aus will amaze you

Yahest: (singing) We’ll make you smile from cheek to cheek

Yhcal: (singing) We entertain and grant your wishes

Ynohtna: So come and visit, we’re here all week

Wiggles: (singing) Welcome to the opal city

Home of fun, hope and joy

We greet you with this lovely music

We sing to every girl and boy

(The audience cheers)

Yahest: Thank you, thank you! You're far too kind! Welcome to the Opal city, we're the Wiggles of Aus. I'm Yahest.

Yhcal: I'm Yhcal.

Ynohtna: I'm Ynohtna.

Nomis: And i'm Nomis. Now, for the usual routine. Today, as always, we will be assisting anyone who requires the assistance of magical beings such as us.

Ynohtna: Is there anyone who requires assistance today?

(The five friends run towards the stage)

Dorothy: Excuse me! Wiggles of Aus?

Yahest: Yes young dinosaur? How may we help you?

Dorothy: Well you see, my name is Dorothy and me and my friends have traveled here from a far ways away. And if it's not too much trouble, we've come to ask for just a couple small things.

Scare-octo: I'm the Scare-octo, and i'd like a brain.

Tin Pirate: I'm the Tin Pirate and I wish for a heart.

Unicorn: I'm the cowardly Unicorn-

Ynohtna: The one who lost to the lion?

Unicorn: Unfortunately yes, which is why I need some courage.

Dorothy: And me and my friend Wags the Dog were told that you of all people could help us get back to our home in Wiggletown.

Nomis: Well, that certainly is a lot of requests. But it shouldn't be a problem for us, after all we are the Wonderful Wiggles of Aus! So now, without further ado-

Yhcal: Um, Nomis? Sorry to interrupt but may I have a word with you?

(Yhcal pulls Nomis towards him and whispers something in his ear)

Nomis: Yes? Oh, you don't say? You do say? Oh dear.

Dorothy: What's the matter?

Nomis: Well you see Dorothy, Yhcal just reminded me that, um, while we really REALLY wish we could grant all of your wishes now, for a task so big as you and your friends just requested, there is a cost.

Unicorn: Cost? But we haven't got anything on us, what do we do? We'll never get our wishes! What do we do?! What do we do?!

Yhcal: Whoa! Calm down jumpy unicorn! We have no desire for any currency. What we mean is, for a request so big we need you to do us a big favor before we can grant it.

Tin Pirate: What's the big favor?

Ynohtna: Well Dorothy, in order for us to grant your wishes we need you to change the heart of a certain person here is Aus.

Yahest: But we're not going to assign you this task without a clue as so who.

Yhcal: Your riddle is: what's black, green, and feared all over?

Dorothy: Black, green, and read all over?

Nomis: When you complete this task, then and only then will we grant your wishes.

Dorothy: But-

Yahest: Now, if there's no one else who would like assistance at this moment, feel free to stop by this stage again from now till 5 o'clock and give us a request.

Wiggles: Goodbye!

(The Wiggles of Aus poof off the stage)

Unicorn: Oh, we better solve this riddle, so we can change that person's heart and request our wishes before 5 o'clock.

Dorothy: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's hurry!

(The friends run away from the stage and stop at a fountain to think)

Tin Pirate: Alright me hearties, let's think about this riddle.

Scare-octo: I'm afraid I won't be much help with that, I still haven't got a brain.

Tin Pirate: Oh don't worry Octo, we won't trouble you with thinking. Now, let's see, what's black, green, and feared all over?

Unicorn: (shivers) Sorry, I just can't stop thinking about that awful Wicked Witch.

Scare-octo: (gasps) Wait! I've got it!

Tin Pirate and Unicorn: You do?

Scare-octo: Yes, I think. The Wicked Witch wears black, her skin is green, and everyone is scared of her. The Wiggles of Aus must be saying that we need to change the heart of the wicked witch of the west!

Tin Pirate: Huh? But that's impossible! Besides, I won't be any help in changing her wicked heart. I don't even have a heart!

Unicorn: And I won't be of any use in even getting close to her, I don't have my courage!

Scare-octo: And I won't be much help with thinking, I still haven't got a brain.

Tin Pirate: You already said that!

Scare-octo: Oh. Well, what do you think Dorothy? Dorothy?

(The Wicked Witch is behind them and her wicked assistants are holding Dorothy and Wags)

Wicked Witch: (cackles)

(More coming soon)
