Wow, Naomi,
the lighthouse looks great.

I didn't expect you
to change so much.

You put me in charge
of fixing up the lighthouse,

so I fixed it up,
and here's the best part.

Isabel helped me build
a new type of lantern.

We call it the light writer.

By making the light
flash on and off,

we can send messages
out to ships at sea.

Now there's a bright idea.

Har-har. Here, I'll
show you how it works.

My dad's out on a patrol ship,

so I'll send him
a message right now.

Naomi, I've been looking all over
for you. - What's up, Felipe?

You got another letter
from Captain Turner.

Wait, your dad mailed you a letter?

No, Your Majesty.

The other Captain Turner.

My mom.

How long has she been at sea now?

Six months, three weeks,
and two days.

But who's counting?

She finished her voyage,

and is on her way to Avalor,

and has a big surprise to tell
me and Dad when she gets here.

When's that?

She said two weeks, but wait.

She sent the letter two weeks ago,

so that means she
should be here today!

Today?!
- I better tell Dad.

Wait, you're really sending
him a message with light.

It's a code. Certain
patterns equal letters

that spell out my message.

You've outdone yourself again.

Scarlett's... coming... home?

Today?!

Ready the sails, men,
we're heading back to port.

Aye, aye, Captain Turner.

I've gotta get our house
in shipshape before Mom arrives.

I hope I have enough time.
- I can help you.

You say that now, but you've
never been to our place.

It's a little messy.

Come on.
How bad could it be?

Yep, that's pretty bad.

I think we're gonna
need reinforcements.

Reinforcements have arrived!

Wow, that was fast.

The love of my life is coming home.

She's worth the extra hustle.

Okay, we'll clean downstairs
if you clean upstairs.

Let's go, men.

Aye, aye, Captain Turner.

What do you think your mom's
big surprise is gonna be?

I don't know.

I'm hoping... well, I don't wanna
jinx it by saying it out loud.

It's okay. You can tell me.

I've spent most of
my life traveling.

I've never really
felt like I had a home,

until I came to Avalor.

There's just one thing I want

that would make everything perfect.

♪ Since my mom
is a captain of the sea ♪

♪ She travels far and wide ♪

♪ It's her job, but I wish
that she could be with me ♪

♪ A little more by my side ♪

♪ By my side ♪

♪ So my mom told us both
that she would vow ♪

♪ To someday find a way ♪

♪ That she could settle
down with us somehow ♪

♪ And finally come ashore
here to stay ♪

♪ If she could ♪

♪ How I wish she would ♪

♪ Tell me the words
I long to hear ♪

♪ This time,
she's coming home for good ♪

♪ Finally coming home ♪

♪ For good ♪

♪ We'll have good times
and laughter every day ♪

♪ Like other families do ♪

♪ For so long, my dream
seemed so far away ♪

♪ I really hope that this time ♪

♪ It comes true ♪

♪ If she could ♪

♪ How I wish she would ♪

♪ Tell me the words
I've longed to hear ♪

♪ This time, she's coming
home for good ♪

♪ Finally coming home for good ♪

♪ Hope she's coming home ♪

♪ For good ♪

I know that bell.

It's my mom's ship.

Ho ho, is that the Wayfarer I hear?

Ahoy, family!

Ahoy, Mom!

Should we go meet her?

- No need.
She'll take care of that.

Nomes!

Mom!

Captain Turner.

Captain Turner.

Welcome back.

Ha ha!

It's good to be back.

Mom, I want you to meet Elena.

Crown Princess.

Naomi's written me all about you.

Good to meetcha!

The pleasure's all mi-i-i-ine!

So, what's your big surprise?

Don't you wanna tell me what's
been going on with you first?

Nope. Big surprise. Now, please.

Okay.

Remember our old plan
that I would find a job

where I didn't have
to travel so much?

So we can settle down in one place.

Well, I finally got that job,

in the kingdom of Norberg.

- Norberg?!
- Norberg?

The kingdom we came from,

where Naomi was born.

I'm the new admiral
of the Norberg coast guard.

So you're leaving Avalor?

That's right.

We sail out in four days.

Four days?!
- Another move.

This certainly is a big surprise,

but I suppose it means
we'll all be together,

just like you always wanted, Naomi.

I guess so.

Then start packing.

I have a ship to dock.

I can't believe
you're leaving Avalor.

I don't wanna leave, Elena.

I might've been born in Norberg,

but I haven't lived there
since I was two.

My real home is here in Avalor,

with the grand council.

My friends. You!

But my mom got this job,

so I guess I have to go.

Well, what if I offered her

a better job in Avalor?
- You'd do that?

I'd do whatever it took
to get you to stay.

That's... wow.

Thanks, Elena.

But when my mom
has her mind set on something,

it can be pretty hard to change it.

Well, lucky for you,
I'm the same way.

Where are you going?

I have to get everything ready.

See you tomorrow.

Wait. Ready for what?

Okay, a-one and a-two and a...

Princess Elena?

Good morning, Captain Turner.

Naomi has told me countless stories

of your heroic deeds
as captain of the Sea Farer.

Wayfarer.
- Wayfarer.


And it occurred to me
that we needed someone

with your naval know-how,
right here in Avalor.

Now I know Norberg has already
offered you an admiral's post,

so I am prepared to make you

the supreme commanding
master chief admiral

of the Avalor coast guard.

I've never heard
of such a position.

Well, that's because
I created it just for you.

Just for me? What an honor.

So you'll accept?

No, I'm afraid not.

But you also get
your very own horse...

and carriage.

Thank you, but no.

But wait, there's more.

You also get any ship in the fleet.

Just take your pick.

It's still a no.

I'm still not done.

If you say yes
within the next ten seconds,

I'll throw in new set of
stainless steel swords!

Princess Elena, I can't tell you

how grateful I am
for your generous offer.

But Norberg is my home.

It's where I grew up.

It's where
my happiest memories are.

And it's the land I love.

Good old Norberg.

Now if you don't mind,

I've gotta start preparing
my ship for the voyage.

You wanna give me a hand, Nomes?

Maybe later. I have to finish

fixing up the lighthouse
before we go.

That's my Naomi.

I mean, our Naomi.

Well, thanks for trying.

I guess I should start
saying my good-byes.

We have three days left.
We're not sunk yet.

What do you mean?
You heard my mom.

Then we're just gonna have to make
her fall in love with Avalor.

How?
- With a little help from our friends.

Target approaching.
Remember what Elena said.

If you can help convince
Captain Scarlett Turner

to fall in love
with Avalor and stay...

Then the princess will
officially owe me a favor.

Don't worry, I never forget a debt.

Thanks for the VIP tour, princess.

My pleasure.

This is the Via Mercado,

the biggest marketplace
in the entire hemisphere.

This is more impressive than the
three-headed flying fan fish

I saw off the coast of Corinthia.

Watch how a master salesman
closes a deal.

You must be the famous
Captain Scarlett Turner

everyone is talking about.

I am Doa Paloma.

Doa Paloma! Good to meetcha.

Naomi wrote about you.

You own the biggest warehouse
in town, right?

Warehouse?...ahem.

My emporium features
incredible wonders

from all over Avalor...

and the world.

I'm gonna warn ya.

I've seen my fair share
of wonders in all my travels.

But have you ever seen
all the wonders under one roof,

during a "free sample day" event?

Free sample day?

Where the kids eat free,
as do the captains of the sea.

Right this way.

No one can resist
the call of the free.

The fruits and vegetables
are all hand-picked

from the Avaloran rain forest.

They do look scrumptious.

They taste even better.

I've never tasted
anything so delicious.

Not even in Norberg?

Not even in Norberg.

Ooh, what's that?

Thank you, Doa.

I finally get why
everyone loves Avalor so much.

You do?
- It's as clear

as Merroway Sea at dawn.

And it makes me
want to stay right here...

and spend the rest of the day
getting souvenirs

to take back to Norberg.

Come on, Nomes.

If I couldn't change her mind,

no one will.

Well, it was nice
knowing you, Naomi.

Come on, Gabe.
There's still two more days.

But what do we do?

Maybe if your mother knew
how much you were needed here,

she'd change her mind.

I think we have to show her

just how important
you are to Avalor.

How do we do that?

Wait till the sun goes down.

Then everyone will see the light.

Our lighthouse was in shambles,

until Naomi was put in charge
of overseeing its restoration.

What's this?

It's called a light writer.

My sister helped Naomi build it

so we can communicate
with ships in the harbor.

Impressive.
- Thanks, Mom.

And she even taught me
how to use it.

What did you tell them?

To ring a bell for the Turners.

Amazing!

Yeah. I don't know
what we'd do without Naomi.

I hear you loud and clear.
- You do?

We have to leave
as soon as possible,

so you can build a light writer
in Norberg's lighthouse.

I'm gonna get everything ready

so we can ship out tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?


Soon, you'll hear
all the bells in Norberg

ringing just for you.
Oop!

We could have Mateo cast a spell.

He can make the wind stop blowing,

so your family's ship can't leave.

That would stop all the other
ships in the harbor, too.

Good point.

Maybe Mateo could make a potion

that turns the water to ice.

Same problem.

You're right.

I've got the perfect plan.

We'll sink your mom's ship.

Okay, maybe that's not
the perfect plan.

I still can't believe
your mom turned down the chance

to be supreme commanding
master chief admiral.

That's the highest imaginary
rank I've ever made up.

So you did offer Scarlett Turner

a post in the Avalor coast guard.

Hi, abuelo.

You, ahem, heard about that?

She did it for me.

I love Avalor,
and I don't wanna leave,

but my mom wants me
to move to Norberg.

Elena and I tried a million
things to change her mind,

but nothing's worked,
and now, we're all out of ideas.

Did you try telling her the truth?

The truth?

Why didn't we think of that?

Because it would never work.

I wouldn't be so sure, Naomi.

If you really want to stay,

you have to at least
tell her how you feel.

Do you really think
that would change her mind?

It's worth a try.

And you've tried everything else.

Mom, Dad, did you know
nine out of ten doctors

say living in the tropics
is better for your health?

No. More direct.

Mom, Dad, I like living in Avalor,

and I don't wanna leave.

That's it.

Mom, what are you doing?

As we were packing, I found
the violin in the closet.

Your mom thought we
should celebrate our big move

with an old family tradition.
Dance with me.

Can we talk first?

Come on.

You used to love dancing
the Norberg jig.

I did? I don't remember, but...

I do. You'd put your
feet on top of my feet,

and we would dance around
the house like this.

Whoa!

And you would laugh just like that.

When we get to Norberg,
we'll do a lot more dancing.

And we'll have dinner
together every night,

and we won't ever
spend a holiday apart.

And play fun games at the fair?
- Absolutely!

The way I feel right now,

I don't think anything could
take the wind out of my sails.

So what was it you wanted
to talk about, Nomes?

Well... nothing.

It's not important.

Well, how did it go
with your parents last night?

I didn't tell them.

Why not?

Because they've been
dreaming of this

for so long, it's gonna
make them so happy.

And I just...

I want my family to be together.

So...

we're leaving today.

Today?

Well, if you can't stay,

I... I hope you'll let me
do one last thing for you,

and give you a proper good-bye.

Okay. I'd like that.

Naomi Turner,

we are pleased to present you

with this medallion of
Maruvian blue crystal,

as a symbol of thanks

for your service on
the grand council.

Thanks, Elena.

You were like the sister
I never had.

And you two were like
grandparents to me.

I'm not sure
what I'm gonna miss more...

Your guitar playing,
or your tamales.

My guitar playing.
- My tamales.

And Esteban.

You're... you're...

Hmph. The feeling is mutual,
I assure you.

And you two.

Like your big brother
and little brother.

Yeah, he means that
the other way around.

Gabe, are you crying?

What?! No!

I just got something in my eye.

Naomi, before we
escort you to your ship,

a few more friends wanted a chance

to say their last good-byes.

Wow. Looks like
the whole kingdom showed up.

I'm gonna miss you, Naomi.

Don't forget to write.
- Good luck in Norberg.

I didn't realize

Naomi meant so much to Avalor.

Well, she does take after her mom.

Wherever she goes,
she makes a difference.

You're so sweet.

You didn't have to do all this.

I wanted to.
Have a safe journey.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

Ready to go, Nomes?

All right, that's it. Stop!

Stop the music.
Stop, stop everything.

Just everybody, stop!

Scarlett, what is it?
- What's wrong?

Naomi, when you were little,

you used to get rope burns
trying to tie

fancy sailor knots on our ship,

but you thought that
was just part of the job,

so you put on a tough face,

and acted like you weren't hurting.

What's that got to do with...

You've got that same kind of
look on your face right now.

So what is it?

I...

Um...

Everything is all right.

I'm so happy that
we're finally all together.

I just...

I wish we could be together here

in Avalor.

This is the first place

I've lived that really
feels like home.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Because I knew you'd both
rather live in Norberg.

Nomes, home is where the heart is.

Your heart is here in Avalor,

and my heart is with both of you,

wherever we are.

And I'm happy to live anywhere,

as long as we're all together.

Then it's settled.

We're staying in Avalor.

Yes!

So is that job offer
still open, princess?

Ye...

I have to check.

I'm sure we can find something.

All right!

Guess we should let
everyone know the good news.

The Turners are staying in Avalor!

Welcome home.

Home.

That has a nice ring to it.
