[light, upbeat music]

[Zac] I never thought I'’d say this but...

ballets are a blast!

Thanks for taking me to see Swan Lake,Leah.

[yells]

[thud]

Anytime, Zac.

Glad you liked it!

I did.

My favorite part was when a spell was cast

on the princess

and she turned into a swan.

Everyone loves swans.

[squeaks]

And my other favorite part

was when the princess became the Swan Queen!



Whoa!

[squeaks]

[thud]

That was pretty cool.

What was your favorite part of the ballet, Zac?

My favorite part was the leaping.

Those dancers can jump higher than a grasshopper!

Or a basketball player!

Or a basketball-playing grasshopper!

Whoa!

[Zac grunts]

So I need a little practice.

Man, how do they make it look so easy?

I know!

Did you see how many times the Swan Queen ballerina

spun around and around?



Whoa!

[crash]

I don'’t remember the Swan Queen spinning like that.

So I need a little practice too.

Hey, how about you practice spinning

and I'’ll practice leaping,

and later I can come over

so we can dance the Swan Laketogether!

Sounds great!



[groans]

[crash]

[Zac grunts]

[door creaks]



Are you okay?

Yeah, it happens.

Happens a lot.

Me and mailboxes,

we have a love-hate thing going on.

I love when they bring me stuff,

but I hate running into them.

[laughs]

We'’ll work it out someday.

See ya, Leah!



[crash]

I meant to do that.

Bye, Zac!

Okay, let'’s try spinning again.

[Leah whooshing]

[swan toy squeaks]

Well, that didn'’t go well.

If only I could dance like the real Swan Queen ballerina.

Wait, I can!

With a little genie help!

[upbeat drum music]



[meows]

I love playing Pin the Ponytail on the Genie!

Maybe next we can play Leap Genie

or Genie Juggle

or Duck Duck Genie.

[Shine] Hey, Shimmer.

Is it just me or is the room moving in circles?

Oopsie!

I think you'’ve been spunenough.



Go, Shine, go!



Whoa!

[grunts]

You'’re doing great, Shine!



[crash]

[chimes tinkle]

Almost to the poster!



[meows]

[Tala screeches]

I got it, Shimmer!

I pinned the ponytail.



On Tala?

Tala'’s no genie

but she looks genie-rific!

[cooing happily]

Let'’s play again!

This time I know you'’ll win!

Could we take a quick break first?

The room hasn'’t stopped moving from my last turn.

[exclaims]

[chimes tinkling]

Look at our bracelets,Shine!

Our friend Leah needs us!

[chimes tinkling]

[Leah] Shimmer and Shine,

my genies divine,

through this special chant,

three wishes you'’ll grant!

I'’m Shimmer!

I'’m Shine!

[both] Your genies divine!

Boom Zahramay!

Your best friends are on the way!

[pop]

[Shimmer and Shine]Whoa!

[meows]

[Tala squeals]

[Shimmer] Check out that landing.

Are you two taking secret dancing lessons?

If so, I want in!

Maybe Nahal and Tala can give me some dancing lessons.

I'’m having trouble spinning.

Well, if you need help with spinning,

I'’m your genie!

[chimes tinkle]

I'’m really good at spinning Shine!

And I'’m really good at being dizzy.

Why do you ask, Leah?

Zac and I just saw the ballet Swan Lake,

and I'’d love to be able to spin like the Swan Queen.

Ooh, the Swan Queen is so pretty!

And look at her crown!

It'’s so sparkly and glittery,

it makes me want to dance like a swan!

Honk, honk, honk, honk, honk!

Your swan dance looks more like Tala after she stubs her toe.

[annoyed chatters]



[screeches]

The problem is,

I don'’t think I'’ll ever be as good

as the Swan Queen.

I can'’t spin at all.

[Nahal meowing]

[thud]

[swan toy squeaks]

Where do you keep coming from?

I know a way to help you spin like the Swan Queen!

You can use one of your three wishes!

Great idea, Shine!

For my first wish, I wish I was the Swan Queen!

Boom Zahramay!

First wish of the day!

Shimmer and Shine,

Swan Queen divine!

[chimes tinkling]

[gasps]

Wow!

I look just like the Swan Queen!

[both coo]

[chimes tinkling]

And you guys look like swan princesses!

You even have a tutu.

Two tutus, to be exact.

[all laugh]

Guys, this is the best wish ev--

[honking]

Huh?

Weird.

What I was saying was that this is the best wish I--

[honking]

Okay, where is that honking coming from?

Your royal subjects!

My royal what?

Your royal subjects!

You can'’t be a Swan Queen without swans!

Why are there swans in my house?

Well, if I put them outside, you wouldn'’t see them.

[swans honking]

[Tala coos]

[chattering]

[honks]

[screeches]



[honks]



[honks]



I was just hoping to spin

like the ballerina Swan Queen,

not be an actual queen of six adorable swans.

Ohh.

Sounds like I made a mistake.

Really?

I think it sounds like swans.

It'’s okay, Shine.

You tried your best, but sometimes mistakes happen.

Maybe these swans won'’t get in the way of spinning practice.

[blows]

[chimes tinkling]

[groaning]

Okay, Rocket.

Let go.

I need to get this log over--

[barks]

[thud]

There. Thanks, Rocket!

This is it, boy.

If I can leap over all these obstacles,

I'’ll be able to leap as high as those ballet dancers.

[barks]

You'’re right!

I'’ll probably leap even higher!

And then I'’ll be ready to dance with Leah.

Secret handshake for good luck?



[barks]

Okay.

Let the awesome begin.

[grunting]

Uh...maybe not.



Yes!

[thud]

Ow.

[groaning]

I know what went wrong.

I forgot to power up with a snack.

It happens.

Happens a lot.

Hey, Rocket, a little help here, please?



[crashing]

[laughs]

I meant I needed help out.

[laughs]

Okay, I don'’t see any swans in the way.

I think it'’s safe to spin.

[swan honks]

Oh, boy, you guys are not easy to dance around.

[Tala squeals happily]

But you sure are cute.

Hey, Leah.

How do you feel about animals on the furniture?



[honks]

Also, how do you feel about animals eating the furniture?



[cotton rips]



[honks]

[swan honking]

[Nahal exclaims]



[swan honking]

[Tala chattering]



[honks]

[meowing]

We really need to get these swans outside.

It'’s kind of hard to practice spinning

with them destroying my house.

I'’m sure if we just ask politely,

they'’ll listen.

Pardon me, but will you please co--

[honks]

[electronic buzz]

[indistinct talking on TV]

Okay, now'’s probably not a good time to watch TV.

[gasps]

Ooh, this looks interesting.

Don'’t worry,Leah.

I can get these swans to follow me.

Okay Mr. Honks-a-lot,

how about we go check out the backyard?

Do you needs some help getting there?

No problem!

I'’ve got him!

Whoa!

Maybe I don'’t.



[chattering]

- [honks] - [screeches]

[swan honking]

[Nahal meows]

[swan honking]

Wow!

I can'’t believe how well that mop can clean!

Follow me, little fella.

[indistinct talking on TV]

That'’s it.

I almost had him!

I wish the swans would just follow me!

Boom Zahramay!

Second wish of the day!

Huh? No, wait!

Shimmer and Shine,

follow Leah divine!

[swans honking]



[sighs]



[screeches happily]



What are they doing?

Whatever you want!

Anything you do, the swans will do too!

You mean like Follow the Leader?

Eh... more like Follow the Leah.

This is terrific!

Even though I didn'’t mean to make that wish.



Oh, bird'’s beak.

My mistake, Leah.

It'’s okay, Shimmer.

If we work together, we can find a way to fix it.

And till then, let'’s see what else these cute swans can do!

Ooh! My turn!



Do what I do, Leah!



Now give this a try!



Ooh.

[Nahal meows angrily]

[all honking]



You guys are great!

You guys could use a little bit more practice.

[feathers rustle]

[crash]

Ooh!

[swans honking]

It'’s so cute how they follow every move you make, Leah!

If only they'’d follow you outside

before they break another fruit bowl.

[gasps]

That'’s it!

They'’ll follow meoutside!

Lead the way, swan princesses!



[all grunt]

[swans honking]

[squeals]

[thud]

[spitting]

[Shimmer] It worked!

Thanks for following directions, swannies!

[Zac] Hey, Leah!

You over there?

[whispering] Everyone hide!

It'’s Zac!



[whispering] You forgot the swans!

[whispering] But the swans won'’t hide

unless you hide, Leah!



[gasps]



[wood creaking]

[grunts]

Crushed it.

I am getting good at leaping!

Whoa. Awesome costume!

You look like the Swan Queen!

[swan honks]

[Zac] And nice honk!

You'’ve got this part down!

[birds chirping]

Uh...

what are you looking for?

A frog.

I was thinking I could learn something

if I watch one leap in action.

I'’m pretty sure the trick is in the crouching.

[grunts]

See what I mean?

I really need that frog.

Be back later for the ballet show!

See ya, Leah!

[wood creaking]

[gasps]

The ballet show!

I'’ve been so busy with the swans

I forgot all about my ballerina spin.

There'’s not enough time to practice now.

[chimes tinkling]

[Nahal meows worriedly]

But you do have time for one more wish.

Great idea, Shine!

For my last wish,

I wish I was a ballerina in Swan Lake.

Boom Zahramay!

Third wish of the day!

Shimmer and Shine,

ballerina in Swan Lakedivine!



[honks]

[meows]



[chattering]

[coos sadly]

It'’s the lake from Swan Lake!

In your very own backyard!

This is beautiful!

But not exactly what I wished for.

I just wanted to dance like a ballerina

from Swan Lake, not on an actual lake.

Sorry, Leah.

I didn'’t mean to make such a big mistake

on your last wish.

It'’s okay, Shine.

There'’s no mistake too big to fix.

Even the ones as big as a lake.

Well, first things first,

let'’s get off this rock and start spinning.



Ooh.

[splash]



[gasps]

I don'’t know if you meant to do that,

but it was amazing!

Yeah!

You looked like a real ballerina!

[Leah] Thanks!

But the bouncy lily pads did all the work.

I just fell.

Then I think you should fall again

because it looked wonderful!

[Leah groaning]



[chattering happily]

Ooh, this we'’ve got to try.



[groans]

[Shimmer and Shine groaning]

[groans]

I love dancing ballet!

Almost as much as I love this tutu!

And I love this tutu a lot.



If I practice more, maybe I'’ll finally spin

like the Swan Queen!

Well, you already look the part

so I think you'’re halfway there!

That was some swan-tastic spinning, Leah!

[Zac] Hey, Leah!

[whispering] It'’s Zac.

Duck before he sees you.

[whispering] I think you mean,

"Swan before he sees you."

[whispering] Either way, we got to hide!

[chimes tinkling]



[Zac] Check it out!

I'’m gonna leap over the fence!

[Zac panting]

[crash]

[Zac groans]

You okay?

Yeah, but now it looks like I have a love-hate thing

with my fence.

I'’d love to leap over it but the fence hates that idea.

Whoa!

There'’s a lake in your backyard?

Zac, I can explain--

No need.

You got everything we need for our ballet show!

The swans,

the swan lake,

the Swan Queen!

Hey, you'’re right!

Now we can dance like real ballet dancers!

But I'’m still missing one more piece.



The best leaper in the show!

What do you say, Zac?

Want to dance?

Oh, bring on the ballet!

[groans]



You'’re gonna need to leap really high to make that!

Yeah, but I'’ve got this.

You might want to step back

'’cause it'’s about to get awesome.

[inhales]

[exclaims]



I bet we can make it more awesome.

Whoa!



[swan honks]

I totally nailed that landing.

Not that I'’m surprised.

That was fantastic!

Practice makes perfect, Leah.

Lots and lots and lots of it.

[grass rustling]

Come on, Swan Queen!

Let'’s get the ballet show on the road...

lake.

Who cares where!

Let'’s dance!

Be right there, Zac!

[grass rustles]



Thanks for everything today, guys!

Without our mistakes,

I never would'’ve been able to spin like the Swan Queen!

And we wouldn'’t have danced with real swans!

Now I can totally check that

off of my to-do list for the day.

[gasps]

Dancing with a real swan was on your to-do list?

Mine too!

We fixed our mistakes and the day turned out great.

[meows nervously]

[purring]

I'’ll see you guys tomorrow?

Abso-genie-lutely!

Our mistakes came out great when we worked together.

Can'’t wait till tomorrow, my best friends forever!

With magical powers that shimmer and shine,

boom Zahramay!

We'’ll see you next time!

Pin the Tutu on the Genie is kind of my new favorite game.

Well, next to Pin the Ponytail.

[meowing dizzily]

Oh, but I do also like--

Shimmer.

You'’re doing it again.

Oh, right!

[chimes tinkling]

Go, Shine, go!



[squealing]

[Shimmer grunts]

[chattering]



Jumping genie, sis!

You did it!

Yeah!

And you know what I realized?

That things can only get better when you try and try

and try again?

Yes!

And the key to spinning like a ballerina is practice!

Lots and lots of practice.

Okay, now my turn!

But I'’ll spin myself.

Leah showed me how.

Before you do that,

I have an idea

that will make this game even better.

How is that even possible?

[chimes tinkling]

It is better!

Oh, Shine, I love your ideas...

almost as much as I love this tutu!
