Wait, what? Where'd I go?

There you are!

What are you doing up here?

Just thinking about

the first time
my parents brought me

to Nueva Vista

when I was just
a little girl.

You see that lighthouse?

My father had it built.

Oh. Really?

OK, you're fidgeting
with your necklace.

- What's bugging you?
- Oh! Uh, well...

Actually, heh, it's
about the lighthouse.

- It's...
- So beautiful.

- Too short.
- Too short?

It's one of the tallest
buildings in the city.

But it's not tall enough.

My dad and I have been working
with the local harbormaster.

The port's so busy
that they have to signal ships

to wait for dock space.

But the lighthouse
is too short to be seen

by ships way out
in the ocean.

OK, then,
let's make it taller.

We already looked into that.

The foundation
won't support it.

So, what exactly
are you saying?

We need to tear it down
and build a new one.

Tear it down?

Tear down the lighthouse
my father built?

The lighthouse that is
a symbol of Avaloran pride?

That lighthouse?

I know it means a lot to you,
but this is the best solution.

The best solution is
destroying a piece

of Avalor's history?

If it helps
Avalor's future, yes.

I think I know what's
best for my kingdom, thank you.

Well, it's not entirely
up to you, Elena.

A decision this big
is made by the Grand Council.

Fine.
Go to the Council

and let them tell you
what a terrible idea it is.

They won't, because it's
a great idea.

Huh! We'll see.

I guess we will.

Uh... Elena!

- What?!
- What did I do?

Nothing.
I'm sorry.

I was just having a... thing with Naomi.
What's up?

I'd like permission
to assemble a team of guards

to go after Victor
and Carla Delgado.

They're the last big
thr*at to Avalor,

and they're still at large.

Now, that is a great idea.

Because I know a great idea
from a terrible idea,

unlike Naomi, who... who...
Who thinks we should

tear down the lighthouse
because it's too short

and build a taller one! Huh!

Sounds like a good solution
to me.

Well... ugh.

No one asked you!

Permission granted, by the way.

I'm gonna slam the door now,
but it's not because of you.

OK?

Zuzo? Zuzo? Zuzo!

- Hiya, Prince...
- There you are!

Naomi wants to tear down
the old lighthouse,

but that lighthouse
means a lot to me,

and she won't even listen!

- Zuzo!
- Hey, stop that!

You're not supposed
to be in there! Go away! Shoo!

- What are you doing?
- Hang on, princess.

Trouble in the Spirit World.
Be right back!

Get out of my house!

Zuzo?

Zuzo? Zuzo?

I'm worried, Mateo.
Zuzo said he'd be right back,

but he's been gone for hours.

You're right. It doesn't sound
like him at all.

I'll summon Cacahuate.

Illuminara Mateo Wayohel!

Hmm. Illuminara...

Hold your
spirit horses, I'm coming!

I'm a sloth, Matteo!

We're known for
our thoroughness, but...

- But not for your speed?
- Oh, hi, Elena!

You're just the person
I wanted to see.

Where's Zuzo?

Uh, we were hoping
you could tell us.

I've been lookin' for him
all day.

I thought he was with you.

He was here this morning,
but then he had to rush back

to the Spirit World
for some kind of emergency.

I don't know anything
about an emergency.

When he left,
he was yelling at someone

to get out of his house.

He might be in trouble!

Oh, who would want
to hurt Zuzo?

I don't know, but...

there is a dark side
of the Spirit World

filled with all manner
of terrible...

I can't even talk about them!

We have to find Zuzo! Now!

OK, Princess,
I'll look for him.

I want to go, too!

You know humans
aren't supposed to go...

She already went once.

To rescue me
from the Zanies, remember?

Please, Mateo, I remember.

Come on, Cacahuate, Zuzo has
always been there for me.

I need to be there for him.

You're right, Princess.
We both do.

All right, let's break
a long-standing rule, again.

Hold on.

- Where are we?
- Zuzo's den.

You said something
was in his house, right?

What is this stuff? Ooh!

Huh.

It's moth silk.

Well, if I were
a betting sloth,

I would say there was a fight.

We have to ask around.

Someone must have seen
what happened!

He was rushing back from
Avalor saying something about

dealing with a moth problem
at home?

You have moths
in the Spirit World?

Not around here.

Moths live in the dark side
of the tree.

Now that you mention it,

I did see a big cloud
of purple moths

carrying a giant purple cocoon

toward the dark side
of the tree.

Ooh! My human needs me.
Gotta go!

I don't know about you,

but the only
magical purple moths

I've ever seen
came from Orizaba.

How do you know Orizaba?

During the last eclipse,
she tried to inv*de Avalor,

but Zuzo showed me
how to send her back here.

Well, that explains it.
Wha-ho!

Orizaba holds a grudge.

So it sounds like she sent
her moths to capture Zuzo.

Which means to get him back,
we have to go to the dark side.

Yeah, that makes sen...
Go to the dark side?!

Had enough, dearie?

Oh, I could do this all day.

Nothin' I like more
than hangin' out!

Oh, you won't
be hanging long.

Unless you give me
your magic stripes.

Let me guess, so you
can go back to the human world

and conquer it
with eternal darkness?

Ugh, yes. And get even with the
princess who did this to me.

Now, give me your stripes,

or it's rock-a-bye-bye baby.

Ooh, Elena, you can't just

drop in on the dark side!

The dark spirits,
you know them,

they would see us coming,
and boom!

Who knows what they'll
do to us?

But Zuzo needs us!

I know. Wait.

There is one other way in.

Through the shadow tunnels!

Weren't those the tunnels where
the Zanies tried to take Mateo?

Yep. The shadow tunnels snake
throughout the whole tree,

so we can sneak in
without being seen.

Then what are we waiting for?

I'll tell ya!
I don't know the way!

We might get lost
and never come out!

What about Bobo?

Bobo? The monkey who stole
my magic stripes?

You're joking, right?

When he became
King of the Zanies,

they took him into
the shadow tunnels.

He probably knows them
backwards and forwards by now!

But we can't trust Bobo!

What if he tries to steal
my stripes again?

I think he learned his lesson
the last time.

And he's our best hope!

If that's true, we're in
worse shape than I thought.

Cacahuate!

OK, we'll give Bobo a sh*t.

Hello! Anybody here?

Hola! We're the Zanies!

I'm Chavo!

Hi, Chavo.
We've met before, remember?

- And that's Chico...
- Hola!

- Chaca, Chiquita...
- Hola!

- Hola!
-Chuy...

How ya doin'?

- And Steve.
- Yo.

Uh, we need to speak
to Bobo.

Nobody here by that name!

Oh... Chavo! Hello?

Where's Bobo?

Psst...

Bobo?

Bobo doesn't answer
to "Bobo" anymore!

Bobo only answers to,

"Most Exalted, High Superior,
Top Banana King"!

You've gotta be kidding me.

He's not!

Excuse me, we need to speak
to the, uh...

Most Exalted, High Superior,
Top Banana King, please?

Greetings, Princess Elena
of Avalor

and... servant.

I am not a servant,
and you're not a king.

You're a thief!

How dare he insult
the Most Exalted,

High Superior,
Top Banana King?

You never apologized for that
time you stole my stripes.

Tell your servant that a
monarch never apologizes.

He's not my servant.
You know that.

And monarchs do apologize.

Psh, no way! Then what's the
point of being in charge?

Oh, please!
What are you in charge of?

What am I in charge of?

Now let's take a ride
to the dark side, shall we?

You're gonna have to move
faster than that, Spirit Sloth!

I'm just keeping
a safe distance

between us, stripe thief.

Uh, guys, please?
Let's focus on rescuing Zuzo.

- Shadow tunnel, straight ahead!
- Whoa!

Well, now he owes you
an apology, too.

How are we supposed to...
Aah! Ooo-ooh!

Ow, I got poked by something.

Careful! The tunnel has thorns!

Well, then, I wish we could
see where we were going.

Hmm...

Ya see? He left.
I told you he couldn't be trusted.

These are Parraluz pods.
I call 'em "Pop-Pops."

That's where
you're taking us?!

There's got to be
a better route.

Tell your servant
he's welcome to stay behind.

Tell His Royal Monkeyness
to keep his paws off my stripes.

- Not touching.
- Get away.

- Not touching.
- Get away.

- Not touching.
- Get away!

- OK, I touched!
- He touched me!

Hey, both of you,
knock it off!

This isn't about you or you.
This is about rescuing Zuzo.

Remember Zuzo?

He got your stripes back,

and he made you
the King of the Zanies.

So, for his sake,
would you please stop arguing

and try to get along?

- You're right. OK.
- OK.

Good. Bobo, lead the way.

Oh! I guess that makes me
in charge, doesn't it?

So, what do we do
once we get there?

I don't know.

I wish Zuzo were here
so I could ask him.

- Me, too.
- Me, too.

He always knows
just what to do.

He sure does.

Like that time
you stole my stripes!

Oh, these stripes?

These stripes?
The stripes I'm not touching?

Would you two stop it?
We have to...

What is that?

The dark side.

Ooo!

Is that really necessary?

Yeah, it is.

Look! Purple moth silk.

It gets thicker
toward the left.

Orizaba's lair
must be that way.

Wait! If we go back
in the tunnels,

we can come out over there

and sneak up on her
without being seen!

Good thinking, Bobo!
Right, Cacahuate? Hm?

I suppose.

Come to your senses yet,
dearie?

Have you really
thought this through, Orizaba?

Because if I go down,
then you can't have my stripes.

You won't be able
to go back to the human world.

And you won't be going back

to any world!

Zuzo!

We have to get her
away from him!

Lemme at her!

Careful, Bobo.
Don't let her see the light.

The light!
It hurts Orizaba.

We can use the glow pods
to force her back!

And rescue Zuzo!

And I'll be a hero king!

OK, while you
daydream about that,

- we'll come up with a plan.
- Forget that!

We have to go now,

before something happens
to Zuzo!

We can't just charge in
willy-nilly!

Guys, keep your voices down!

You have to obey me!
I'm King of the Zanies!

Do I look like a Zany to you?
Now let go of the pods!

No, you let go!

No...

The light!

No. No, no, no, no!

Whew! Aah!

Hang on, Zuzo!

Princess Elena?

Huh?

Moths, after her!

Elena, run!

Hm.

When I said "run," I meant
the other way.

Yep.

Well, well.
Hello, Princess.

Leave her alone, Orizaba.

Oh, I will.
If you give me your stripes!

OK, OK! Let her go,
and the stripes are yours.

No, Zuzo, don't!

I knew you'd come around.

Oh, no! Look what you did!

Me? You're the reason
the pods went off.

If you hadn't
grabbed them from me,

I coulda saved Zuzo!

Or gotten yourself caught!

Well, now Elena got caught,
thanks to you!

Thanks to both of us.

We did this together.

I guess we did.

Well, that's one thing
we agree on.

Look, I'm still angry at you
for stealing my stripes.

And I'm angry at you for not
respecting my kingliness.

What do you say
we set aside our feud

and save our friends!

That's bananas!

But what if
we set aside our feud

and save our friends?

That's what I just sa...

Then let's do that,
Your Majesty.

OK, I have a plan.

But I'm gonna need
your magic stripes.

My stripes?!

Well, if it'll
help our friends...

Vaya Raya Mistica!

I'm trusting you with one of
my most prized possessions.

And I'm trusting you
with mine.

I already told you.
First, you let the princess go.

Then, I give you my stripes.

You are in no position
to bargain!

Hola, yoohoo!

Look what I have!
Ooo, magic stripes!

They're yours
if you can catch me!

Then I guess they're mine!

Missed me!

Get the monkey!

Wha...!

Ugh! Enough monkey business!

I want those stripes!

Bobo! What are you doing? Run!

Whoops!

This isn't over!

Sure seems over to me.

How about that.
Your plan worked!

Huh?

Nice catch, guys.

I always thought you two
would make a good team!

Thanks for coming
to find me, Elena.

Even spirit guides need
a little help every now and then.

Now that we're all
safe and sound,

Here you go, Cacahuate.

Regresa Raya Mistica!

And here you go, Bobo.

Eh... um...

I'm sorry about your crown.

It was worth it
to get our friends back.

You know, I think Bobo
deserves another chance

to earn his own chanul stripes.

Aw, thanks.
But I'm perfectly happy being

the Most Exalted, High Superior
Top Banana King.

Nuh-uh!

Don't you mean "Hero King"?

Aww!

Mmm.

Would you look at that?

Ah, it's like
they're old friends.

Oh! That reminds me.

There's something I have
to take care of back home.

Can you give me a lift?

Of course, Princess.

- Bye!
- Bye!

I like them.

Hey.

Oh. Hey.

- I'm sorry I...
- I shouldn't have...

You first.

I'm sorry
I was so hardheaded.

I've got ya b*at there.

You know, if we put
our hard heads together,

I'm sure we can
figure this out.

I am, too.

OK. We need
a taller lighthouse, right?

Right, but without tearing
the old one down.

Hmm.

So, what if we move
the old lighthouse

- to higher ground?
- You mean, dismantle it...

And rebuild it
on one of those rocks!

Then it will be visible
from way out in the ocean!

Problem solved!

Should I assemble the rest
of the Grand Council

so you can tell them
your great idea?

Let's tell them together.
