LoliRock

Nap time!

You want me to read Goldilocks and the Three Bears?

No book. Song.

-Um... -Lull-a-by!

Hmm.

Hmm.

Cheer up, losing a babysitting gig isn't the worse thing.

Easy for you to say.

Plus, it's the third job I've been fired from!

And every time I open my mouth to sing,

something weird happens...

Whoa!

Whoa!

-(QUACKING) -(LAUGHING)

Remember that day last summer when a freak storm froze the lake?

Wild!

Poor duckies.

I don't think I was meant to be a singer.

-You kidding? -Huh?

You have a beautiful voice.

Besides, I saw this on the cafe's bulletin board and thought of you.

"Wanted, lead singer for girl band.

"LoliRock.

"Auditions today." I do love singing...

But I can't. Something weird would happen.

So? There are two things I know about you.

One, you're weird

and two, you're happiest when you're singing.

Thanks, Nat, but I just can't.

Huh?

Think about it.

Promise me?

I promise.

No, I just can't.

Oh!

Think about it.

Promise me?

Hmm.

Oh!

Maybe I'm not the weirdest singer here.

Thank you! Um, we'll call you if we're interested.

We're not interested.

We might be.

Not while I live.

Hmm.

Okay, Auriana,

we're leaving this town and setting up auditions somewhere else.

But, hey, we've just started looking for her in Sunny Bay.

Uh, have you been listening?

They scream like animals in pain.

It's obvious she isn't here.

We only saw six or seven or nine or 10 girls,

there's lots more in town!

If they all sing this well, my eardrums will never recover.

What is it, Amaru?

I'm here for the audition.

Great! Go ahead!

Oh, and use that microphone right there.

Are you okay?

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to.

Ah!

Ugh! You missed! (GRUNTS)

-(CAR ALARM BLARING) -(GASPS)

I like this place!

So much stuff to smash!

This is way easier than I thought it would be.

Really? I expected it to be simple.

She's completely untrained.

Sing, if you want to live.

Huh?

Trust us!

Oh!

Ah!

Iris, come.

Whoa!

Whoa!

How do you know my name?

Oh! We've been searching for you for a long time.

Huh?

Gramorr's not gonna be happy about this.

Oh! Whoa!

Okay, what is going on?

Who were those people attacking me?

Why did my singing do...

Whatever it did?

And what is that?

This is Amaru!

Well, that's one question answered... Sort of.

We brought you here to answer all your questions.

It may be difficult for you to believe this, but you have a very great destiny.

-You must prepare yourself for... -Ah, pff!

Enough blah, blah, blah!

Let's just show her!

Huh?

Whoa!

Where are we?

This is a vision of events that have already happened.

It's so beautiful.

This is where you were born.

What? You're joking.

Oh, she's not. For one, she never jokes.

Plus, you really were born here! It's a land of magic called, Ephedia!

That's where the King and Queen of Ephedia sat.

Or, they were king and queen.

Before Gramorr showed up.

He's that mean-looking guy?

Yes. He betrayed the rulers and took the throne for himself.

Ugh! What a jerk!

No one knows what happened to the king

but when Gramorr tried to take the Queen's crown,

he found it was magically protected.

The Queen's crown was possessed of great magic,

stored in oracle gems.

It would have been disastrous if Gramorr had been able to use them

for his evil purposes.

These oracle gems were scattered,

and sent to Earth to be kept safe from Gramorr.

But they were not the only things sent away to be kept safe.

Iris...

My adorable baby.

That's me?

Yes, Iris. It is you.

You were so cute!

It breaks my heart that you'll grow up, and I won't see it

but it must be done, for your safety.

If that's me, then that means...

You are the princess and heir to the throne of Ephedia.

You were sent to Earth to keep you safe from Gramorr,

until you were old enough, and strong enough,

to use your powers to defeat him.

We were sent to train you!

I'm a princess

from a magical land...

Yes!

We've been looking everywhere for you!

And now we've found you!

I'm a princess.

My parents were a king and a queen.

My real parents.

I was adopted by my Aunt Ellen, but my real parents were

royalty.

What happened to them?

Nobody knows.

All we know is that now that we have found you,

we can concentrate on training you to use your powers to defeat Gramorr.

What powers?

You mean, my voice?

That is merely one aspect of your power,

perhaps the first to manifest.

You need to learn how to control it properly.
