[Elena]
Welcome to the grand opening

of the Bienvenido Bridge!

Linking the kingdoms
of Avalor and Cordoba.

This bridge was the
result of much hard work

on the part
of Princess Elena.

And Prince Alonso!

[groans]

We hope this bridge
between our two kingdoms

brings everyone
closer together.

Well said,
King Juan Ramon.

So, now it is
with great pleasure

that we officially
open the bridge.

[crowd cheering]

You know, this was my
first big royal project.

And thanks to
your dedication,

it is
a huge success.

What about my dedication?

I helped, too.

Yes, you helped
awaken the Yacalli

and almost got
our palace destroyed.

I remember that
very well.

The key word is "almost!"

[sighs]

[Mariachi band playing]

[Mariachi music resounding]

[rocador roaring]

[all exclaiming]

Aah! Is everyone okay?

What was that?

The monfuego.

It hasn't been active

for at least years.

The rock monster
who lives on it

has been in a
deep slumber.

They are called
"rocadors..."

And it looks like
this one just woke up.

And not in a good mood!

- [rumbling]
- [all exclaiming]

If the monfuego
erupts,

it will destroy
the bridge!

It's okay.
I dealt with

a rocador
once before.

It's his anger
that's making

the monfuego active.

So, we just need
to go up there

and find out
why he's so upset.

But who should we send?

I will speak
to the rocador.

Hmm, like the time
you spoke to the Yacalli

and got him so angry he
nearly destroyed the palace?

[shrieks]

Ugh! Are you ever gonna
let me forget that?

I've changed.

You say you have changed,

but I have seen
no evidence of it.

Actions speak
louder than words.

[Elena] You know,

the rocador
in my kingdom

is a really
good friend.

I can ask him to go
up to the monfuego

and find out
what's going on.

Ah, excellent idea.

In the meantime, we will close
the bridge until it is safe.

I could also use
Prince Alonso's help

in case there are any local
customs we need to know.

Yes! Thank you!

I would be more than happy

to assist Princess Elena.

Very well, but remember

we must keep the
monfuego from erupting.

It's not just
the bridge,

but our people
we have to protect.

I promise you,
Father,

I will
take care of this.

Oh, no. We have to
take care of this, Elena.

I've been doing
everything I can

to show my father
that I've changed.

Why can't he see
I'm a new man

who puts others' needs
before my own? Thank you!

[Elena] Maybe instead
of thinking about what

you'll get out of it, you can
start thinking about how to solve

- the problem.
- You're right!

Let's go fetch
your rock monster.

Oh, he's not
a monster.

His name is...

Charoca!

Found you again!

- You're it!
- [all laugh]

How about now we play
my favorite game?

Hotscotch!

Uh, maybe next time.

[children panting]

I guess it's just
you and me, Crystal.

Again.

[Elena] Charoca!

[gasps]
Princess Elena!

Oh, it's good to
see you, Princess!

Who's your friend?

Prince Alonso
of Cordoba.

Charoca, remember that bridge
project I told you about?

Oh, the one you
were working on

with that rude,
selfish prince

that woke up
the Yacalli.

I'm not like that anymore!

Whoa, whoa, you need
to chill out, my friend.

Well, today was the grand
opening of that bridge,

but the rocador who lives
on the nearby monfuego

woke up
in a bad mood.

There's a rocador
in Cordoba?

Oh, I was starting to think
I was the only one left.

Apparently not!
And we were hoping

you could maybe
come talk to him?

Anything for you,
Princess Elena.

Plus, I get to meet
another rocador.

[Charoca]
Yep, you have

one unhappy rocador
up there,

but I have some
great calming tips.

[Elena gasps]
There he is!

He has a rock garden, too!

Shh!

Okay, we'll stay here while

you go find out
why he's so upset.

And tell him the
prince of his kingdom

commands him
to calm down!

Uh, just ask him
what's wrong first,

and we'll go
from there.

You got it, Princess!

Hey there, buddy!

[gasps] Oh, hello!

[gasps]

[musical flourish]

Y... You're a...

girl.

And you're not!

[sighs]

Charoca?
What happened up there?

Did the rocador
do something?

What did he say?

She said, "Hello."

She?

[gasps] Oh!

Oh, what?

The rocador
is not a "he".

It's a "she"!

Oh! [chuckles]

What's going on?

Why do I feel so weird?

Because you, my friend,
are in love.

Trust me.
I've seen that look

many a time before.

And it's great because
it means you're gonna be

thrilled to see her again
when you go back up there.

I can't go back there!

She makes me so nervous!

I could barely sentence
a string together.

I mean, barely string
a sentence together.

How am I gonna talk her out
of destroying a bridge?

It's easy!
If you want someone

to do something for you,

you just tell them
whatever they wanna hear.

I've been doing it
my whole life.

Or you could
just be honest.

Okay. Be honest.

Got it.

Wish me luck!

Just be cool, Charoca.

Be cool.
You can do this.

- [Charica] You can do what?
- [Charoca yelps]

Uh... Hey! Hiya!

[musical flourish]

How you doing?

I am... [stammers]

Who am I? Uh...

I am Charoca.

Ooh! Good name!

I'm Charica!

Huh. I...

I like your
rock garden.

Oh, thanks!

It calms me down.

I guess you could say
I have a few

anger-management issues.

[gasps] Me, too!

Where are my manners?

I should introduce you
to everyone.

This is Mica,
and Topaz, and Jewel.

And over there
are-are-are...

You name
your rocks?

[chuckles] Yeah.

I guess it makes me
feel sort of...

Less alone?

Exactly!

I do the same thing!

Whoa!

You play hotscotch?

Ever since I was a
little wee boulder.

- Wanna play?
- Yeah!

I haven't played
hotscotch

with anyone
in ages! [laughs]

[laughs] Me neither!

[thuds]

[straining]

Ah!

It's beautiful.

[gasps] For me?

- [Charoca sighs]
- [Charica gasps]

Are you okay?

Making volcanic glass
tires me out.

But for you,
it's worth it.

Oh! That's the
nicest thing

anyone's ever
said to me!

Oh.
[rumbling]

[sizzles]

The rumbling stopped.

He did it!

[both]
Yes! Woo-hoo!

Just wait until
I tell my papá

that my idea worked!

I mean, our...
Our idea worked.

So, I never asked.

How did you wind up
on my monfuego?

Oh, well, uh,
the truth is...

I wanted to talk to you
about the new bridge.

Ugh! Don't even
get me started!

All I want is peace and quiet,

but no!
Someone built a bridge

with all the rattling
and clacking, and noise!

And it makes me so mad
I could just...

Aah! [roars]

Okay, okay, okay.

Just... Just breathe.

Out with the hot.
[exhales]

In with the cool.

[breathing deeply]

[sighs] Sorry about that.

So, what did you wanna
tell me about the bridge?

The bridge?
Oh, the bridge!

Right.

Well, I was going to ask you

if it would be okay if, uh...

If what?

If I told you

how much that bridge
bothers me, too.

That's why I came up here.

To complain about
that noisy bridge.

I'm so happy
you feel the same way!

[gasps] You know
what I should do?

I should make
the monfuego erupt!

Ha! Then lava will
wipe that bridge

right on out of here!

No! No, no, no,
no, no, no, no.

No need for that
because... be... cause

I am going to take care
of that bridge for you.

[gasps] You are?

Yep, I'm gonna
shut it down

so there'll be
no more noise

and you can just relax,
and keep all that lava

right up in the monfuego
where it belongs.

Oh, Charoca!
Thank you!

Okay. I better go, uh...
take care of that bridge.

Oh, after all the trouble
he's going through,

I should do something
nice for him, but what?

[gasps] Oh, yeah!

There he is!

The rocador of romance!

The sultan of sweet!

Roco Suave!

Okay, okay.
How'd it go with her?

Well, on one level,
it went great.

Oh! I'm so relieved.

[Elena] Thank you
for saving the bridge.

Yeah... [laughs]

About that.
Funny story.

[Charoca]
It turns out

Charica doesn't like
the bridge so much.

In fact,
she hates it.

It's what's making her so upset.

Then how did you get her
to calm down?

Yeah, what did you say?

I... might have said

something about
closing it down.

What?
We can't close the bridge!

- [Charoca] I know. I...
- [Elena] Then why'd you say that?

It-It's like Alonso said,

I-I-I told her what
she wanted to hear.

[Charica] You did what?!

- You lied to me?
- [both gasp]

[rumbling]

No! I-I mean,
I didn't mean to.

[stammering]
L-L-L-L-Let me explain!

You've said enough!

- [roars]
- Charica!

- [Charoca] Wait!
- [both exclaiming]

Uh, Charoca, why weren't you
just honest with her?

Because she really liked me,

and I didn't wanna ruin it.

Well, guess what?

You did ruin it.

Because he took your advice!

I was just trying
to save the bridge.

I get it. You want your
father to be proud of you,

and you wanted her
to like you,

but lying isn't
the way to do it!

But no one's ever
liked me that way before.

Then you have two
problems to fix now.

[sighs] You're right.

This bridge is
too important to you.

And she's too important to me.

We'll go with you.

Alonso?

Maybe my father's
right about me.

I mess everything up.

Look, you're being
too hard on yourself.

You're right!
It's all Charoca's fault.

And now you're being
too easy on yourself.

Alonso, you could still
help us fix this,

- but we need to go now!
- [Prince Alonso exclaims]

Charica!

Charica!

Where is she?

Wait.

There's only
one place she'd go

at a time like this.

[Charica sniffling]

[crying]

What are you doing here?

I wanted to tell you the truth.

Get back!

[both] Aah!

Don't worry, guys.

I can handle this problem.

Oh, so now I'm
a problem, am I?

The truth is
they're my friends,

and they're worried
about their bridge.

That's the real reason
I came here.

So, you're not
getting rid of it.

I wish I could,

but it's really
important to them.

So, everything
you told me,

it was all a lie?

No! The way I feel for you
isn't a lie!

I've never felt this way
about anyone.

I-I think...

I think I love you, Charica.

Well, that's too bad

because I don't even
like you anymore.

[glass shatters]

[Charica crying]

[Charica sobbing]

I told her the truth,

and she still
won't forgive me.

What do I do, Elena?

Now that I've met her, I...

I can't live without her.

Aww.

Wait! I know
what to do!

All right, look,
telling my father

that I've changed
wasn't enough.

He said actions
speak louder than words.

So, you have to...

Oh, no.

I'm not taking any more
of your advice.

No, Alonso's right!

Surprisingly.

You have to show her
how you feel.

Not tell her.

Show her? Okay.

Yeah, but it's gotta
be something big.

Something that
would make her

the happiest rocador
in the world.

- I got it!
- [both] What?

You'll see,
but it could get

a little warm
around here.

You know what,
Charica?

You should be mad at me

because I was
a stone-cold liar!

And I'm not doing anything
to shut down that bridge.

Leave my monfuego now!

Well, I'm not
going anywhere!

And that bridge is
just gonna keep on

banging and clanging
and making noise!

[growls, roars]

[rumbling]

If you don't
get out of here,

I will make that
monfuego erupt!

What's he doing?

[sighs]
I don't know!

Go ahead!

'Cause that's
the only way

you're gonna get rid
of that bridge or me!

Fine!

I'll get rid
of both of you!

[Charica roaring]

[roaring continues]

Charoca!

[roaring]

[grunting]

Yah!

What is he doing?

Almost... Ah!

[straining]

[sighs]

Are you okay?

I couldn't get
rid of the bridge,

but this will block the noise.

It's so quiet...

and beautiful!

[gasps]

You got me angry on purpose

so I would make
the monfuego erupt

so you could do all this for me!

[sighs] I may have
a heart of stone,

but you made it melt.

I love you, Charoca.

Whew!

I will never

lie to you again.

- You better not.
- Whoa!

- [thuds]
- Ooh, sorry!

[laughs]

Ahh.

Charica,
I want you to meet my friends.

This is Crown Princess
Elena of Avalor.

And Prince Alonso
of Cordoba.

Hi. Sorry we
woke you up.

That's okay.

You gave me something
worth waking up to.

So, you're cool with the bridge?

I've never been cooler.

All right!
Then let's go

re-grand open
that bridge!

[King Juan Ramon]
Without further ado,

the Bienvenido Bridge

is now open...

- again!
- [cheers]

Alonso, you promised me
you would take care of this,

and you kept your word.

I'm proud of you, son.

Hmm. Thank you, but to
tell you the truth,

my bad advice
almost ruined everything.

Charoca really deserves
all the credit.

Because he followed
Alonso's good advice.

Either way, it's Charoca
you should be proud of.

So, you could've
not said anything,

but you chose to be
honest and humble.

Two qualities which
will serve you well

when your time comes
to rule this kingdom.

Well done, míjo.

Aww.

You know,
I'm proud of you, too.

Uh, not that proud.

[chuckles] So, when
are you and Charoca

headed back to Avalor?

I'm not sure Charoca's

heading back anytime soon.
