- I just love exploring Zahramay Skies,

especially with my two best friends.

- Aw. - Thanks, Leah.

I like exploring too

'cause you never know what you might see.

- Yeah, like that.

- A baby dragon. He's Zhara-dorable.

- [inhales] [blowing]

- He sure seems to like that star over there.

- Yeah, only I wonder why he's breathing on it like that?

- [inhales] [blows]

[star chimes]

- Whoa, he changed it into a sh**ting star.

- So that's where they come from.

Look out, baby dragon.

- [startled squeaks]

- Uh-oh, looks like that

little fella's having some trouble.

- Then we better help him out. Thataway, guys.

- [sighs] We've been searching all day

and still haven't found anything

to make me more powerful.

What's a sorceress to do?

Hey!

Nazboo, did you see that?

- Yeah. - That's it.

A dragon is exactly what I need.

- But Nazboo dragon.

- Oh, I know you are, silly, but you're small and cute.

That dragon is big and powerful,

and if I had it, I'd be powerful too.

Come on.

♪ ♪

- For such a little dragon, he sure is fast.

- Whoa.

- What is this place?

- I don't know. It looks like a forest.

A really beautiful one.

- There's the baby dragon. Let's go.

- [squeaks] - It's okay, little guy.

We'll help you.

- Yeah, just follow us.

There goes the star.

- You're safe now.

- Poor dragon, that star scared you, didn't it?

- Uh-huh. - Well, don't worry.

It's gone now. - Yeah.

- So now that we're done helping this little fella,

what do we do next?

- How about more exploring?

- Great idea.

What do you say, baby dragon?

You wanna explore too? - Yeah.

- [giggles] I think he'd rather play with the Zharacorns.

[neighing]

Come on. Let's go explore the forest.

- Bye, baby dragon. - Have fun, guys.

We'll see you later.

- Ooh, let's see what's up there.

- Whoa, check out those dragons.

- They're so big.

- And they're so many of them.

- Look out!

all: Whoa!

- The wind from their wings is so strong.

We have to get away.

- I'd use a wish, but wish magic

doesn't work on dragons.

- Don't worry. I've got you.

- Awesome. - Whoa.

- Zahara-zlam.

- Good thing I came along when I did, girls.

Getting caught in a dragon stampede like that one

can be pretty dizzying.

- You got that right, um, whoever you are.

- I'm Farnaz and this is Xantara.

[roars]

Welcome to Drahtala Forest.

- I'm Shine, and this is Shimmer and Leah,

and we've never been on a dragon before.

- Then I guess it's a good thing you met me.

I'm a dragon rider,

a genie who rides dragons and can understand them.

Isn't that right, Xantara?

[roars]

Xantara says that's right and she's happy to meet you.

- Really? We're happy to meet you too, Xantara.

- Now who wants to go for a ride on a dragon?

- We do! - Yeah.

- Whoo-hoo.

- Great, now hang on tight.

- Hmm.

Now where could that big, powerful dragon

have gone, Nazboo?

- There. - Where?

- Yum yum, star-berries.

- Forget the star-berries.

Now, all I have to do is get that dragon to do what I say,

then I'll be the most powerful person in Zahramay Skies!

[laughs]

- Come on, Nazboo. Let's get that dragon.

Yoo-hoo, dragon!

Excuse me, where do you think you're going?

Whoa! - Yeah!

- Huh. I guess getting that dragon to obey me

is gonna be harder than I thought,

but I am not about to give up, Nazboo.

- [chewing] - Nazboo?

Nazboo! - Hi.

- Get back here.

- Sorry, Zeta.

- We need to find that dragon.

[playful mystical music]

- Whoo-hoo! - Yeah.

- Yeah! - Awesome.

- Wow.

That was Zhara-mazing!

- Yeah, thanks for the ride, Farnaz,

and thanks for helping us.

- You're the ones who should be thanked

for helping that baby dragon

get away from the sh**ting star.

- You saw that?

- Yep, and any friends of dragons

are friends of mine.

- Good, because we love making new friends.

- And thanks to you too, Xantara.

[roars]

- What did she say?

- She said, "Any time."

- Wow, Farnaz, since you can talk to dragons,

I bet you know a lot about them.

- I do. I know their favorite snack is star-berries,

their favorite tickle spot is their tummy,

and they love music.

[calming music plays]

♪ ♪

- How cute.

- She's dancing.

- She is. Dragons are just as friendly

and sweet as can be,

but they also get scared very easily.

Of course, the best way to learn about dragons

is to ride them.

Wanna try?

- Really? - We'd love to.

- Yes. Yes. Yes.

- What do you say, Xantara?

Think you can call a few of our friends?

[musical roar]

[distant roars]

- Zahara-zlam.

[roaring]

- Are they for us to ride? - Yup.

Shimmer, this is Xola.

- Hi, Xola.

- Shine, meet Xylia.

- Hi, Xylia.

- And, Leah, say hello to Xerxes.

- Hi, Xerxes.

[roaring]

Wow, they're incredible.

- Yeah, only if we're gonna ride dragons,

we're probably gonna need some dragon riding outfits.

- You're right, Shimmer.

I wish we had dragon-riding outfits.

- Boom, Zharamay. Second wish of the day.

Shimmer and Shine. Wish granted divine.

Oh, my genie.

We look like real dragon riders.

- You sure do.

Climb aboard, girls.

To the skies!

- Yay! - Whoo-hoo!

- The first rule of dragon riding is

you gotta hold on tight.

- Okay.

- Whoa, wait for me, Xerxes.

- Careful, Leah.

- You also have to steer the dragon

to show them which way you want them to go.

Give it a try.

- Like this?

Not that way, Xola. The other way.

Whoa!

- Whoa! - Whoa!

- Not bad, girls.

And, of course, you'll want to soar

as high in the air as you possibly can.

and they're riding dragons.

- That was so, so, so much fun, Farnaz.

- Yeah, thanks for teaching us how to ride dragons.

- You're welcome, girls. You did great.

[roars]

[laughter]

- There they are, Nazboo,

and look at that amazing beast.

It's even bigger than the one we were chasing.

- Yeah.

- It's exactly what I need to make me more powerful.

[gasps] And this Crystal Capture potion

is just what I need to get those annoying girls

and that dragon rider out of my way.

- Well, we sure had fun,

but I guess it's time for us to go home now.

- And I hope to see you soon too, girls.

You're welcome to visit Drahtala Forest any time.

- Ah! - Hey.

- What's happening?

- We're stuck! [all grunting]

- I'll tell you what's happening.

all: Zeta!

- That's my name, power is my game.

And I'm about to become the most powerful sorceress

in Zahramay Skies.

- Hi, friends.

[panicked roars]

- Oh, no. - You scared the dragons away.

- No, to get this amazing creature.

- I wouldn't do that if I were you.

- Oh, please, I know what I'm doing--

- [laughing]

- Uh, fine!

I guess we'll just have to do this the sorceress way.

I'll use an Obey Me potion

to get the dragon to do what I want.

Obey Me potion float that way, make that dragon do what I say.

all: [gasp]

[chime warbles]

- Now, let me climb aboard. - Xantara!

- Uh-oh. - This can't be good.

- Actually, it will be good, for me.

[laughs]

And now I'm off to take over Zahramay Skies

with my powerful dragon.

Later, girls. - Later, friends.

- Fly, dragon, fly!

- Where's she going? - Oh, no!

- Xantara!

- We have to stop Zeta. - And help Xantara.

all: [grunting]

- [laughing]

- Oh, that sneaky sorceress.

- She's the Zhara-sneakiest.

I can't believe Zeta would take Xantara.

- We'd better find a way to stop her, girls.

With a dragon under her spell,

who knows what kind of trouble she could cause?

- [grunts]

You're right, Farnaz, but how can we stop her

with our feet stuck in these crystals?

- Don't worry, I've got one wish left,

and I wish we weren't stuck anymore.

- Boom, Zahramay. Third wish of the day.

Shimmer and Shine. Wish granted divine.

- Good going, Shimmer. - Thanks.

- Now let's go stop Zeta.

Only she must be really far away by now.

- Then we'll fly after her on Xola, Xylia, and Xerxes.

- But they flew away. [bracelets chime]

They love music.

- Yeah, powerful.

- Taking over Zahramay Skies should be a snap, Nazboo.

What better place to start than Zelena Bazaar?

This way, dragons.

Follow me.

- Anybody see Zeta?

- Guys, look. It's Zeta!

- Now she has a whole bunch of dragons.

- And she's headed for Zelena Bazaar.

- Those poor dragons.

Okay, Xylia, Xola, and Xerxes,

I need you to fly really fast.

Can you do it? [dragons roaring]

- Whoo-hoo!

Hang on to your ponytails, girls.

- Ready to do some star collecting, Dahliza?

Me too, because a Stardust Princess

can never have too many stars. [laughs]

- Head's up, Princess.

Most powerful sorceress in Zahramay Skies

coming through!

- And Nazboo too.

- Oh, my stars. Dahliza, look out!

Whoa!

What is happening?

- Princess Adara. - Dahliza.

- Are you okay? - Dizzy, but fine, girls.

What in Genie World is going on?

- Zeta used an Obey Me potion

to get control of those dragons.

- Yeah, including Xantara, Farnaz's dragon.

- This is Farnaz,

she's a dragon rider from Drahtala Forest.

She knows everything about dragons.

- It's nice to meet you, Farnaz.

- Nice to finally meet you too, Princess.

- So how are we gonna stop Zeta?

- I don't know. I'm all out of wishes.

- Don't worry.

We can stop her with stardust magic.

Come on, girls.

[roaring]

- Okay, dragons.

Time to introduce these sky genies

to their new boss.

- Who's that?

- I'm talking about me, Nazboo.

I'm the boss. - Oh.

- No. No. No. No. No. Sorry, Zeta,

but I can't let you get any closer to Zelena Bazaar.

Time for a little stardust magic.

[stars chiming]

- Oh, so bright.

- Great move, Adara. - Zahara-zlam!

- Nice try, Princess,

but your magic is no match for my dragons.

Dragons, make me some sh**ting stars.

[roaring]

[stars chiming]

- Hey!

- [laughing] That should keep you busy.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got things to do.

Powerful things.

This way, dragons.

[glass tings] - Oh, my.

- What's going?

- All right, genies, listen up.

I'm in charge now,

which means from now on

you'll all be doing things the Zeta way.

- Zeta? - What's a Zeta?

- Me, I'm Zeta,

the most powerful sorceress in Zahramay Skies.

Now, dragons,

breath on some stars to show them I mean business.

Uh, did you hear me, dragons?

I gave you an order. - Look.

[chimes warbling]

[grumbling]

Hey, where are you going?

[gasps] My Obey Me potion is wearing off.

I know I've got some more around here somewhere.

[fireworks booming]

That was the wrong potion!

- Whoopsie.

[panicked screams]

- Let's get out of here.

These dragons are out of control.

[roaring]

- Oh, my stars. This is terrible.

- How are we ever gonna stop all these dragons?

- Don't worry, Farnaz will know what to do.

- Whoa, I've never seen

a dragon stampede like this before.

But if I can get Xantara back,

I bet I can calm down the others with your help.

- You got it. - All right, then follow me.

- Good luck, girls.

I'm gonna stay here and help these genies.

- Okay, good luck to you too, Princess.

Let's go. - All right.

- Nazboo, how do we stop this thing?

- I don't know.

- But you're a dragon, how can you not know?

[roars]

- [grunts]

[sighs] I'm so glad to be off that thing.

- Bye-bye, friends.

- There's Xantara.

- But where's Zeta?

- Let's get closer.

But be careful, she's very scared.

- No problem.

[roars]

- Xantara, it's okay.

You have to get me closer.

All right, come on, Xylia.

[roars]

- It's okay Xantara. I'm here now.

You can slow down.

Good girl.

Oh, I missed you. [cheerful roar]

- Wow, Farnaz, that was awesome.

- Yeah. - Thanks.

Now, we have to calm down the others.

- We? - That's right.

Now that you girls are dragon riders too,

you can help me.

- Let's do this.
