[Elena] "Elena's Day Off."

On the count of three...

One... two...

[both] Surprise!

Happy Three Days Until
Your Coronation/Birthday!

Elena?

Where is she?

Well, I can't put him
with Toshi.

I can't put him with Joaquin.

Ha! Definitely can't
put him with Abigail.

Elena? What are you doing?

Ha-ha! More like,
what am I not doing?

There are a million Coronation
details to figure out

in the next 72 hours.

Flowers, menu, seating,
music, gift bags...

Not to mention, we've got
I don't even know how many

bad guys out there
building an invasion squad!

If only there was someone
who could help.

Someone who knows
how to throw a great party

and deal with dignitaries.
Oh, wait! There is. Me.

Thanks, Doña Paloma. But...
Maybe a bigger arrangement?

I don't want
to burden you with...

Can you take
these dessert ideas to Carmen?

...with all this mayhem!
[chuckles]

Crown Princess Elena,

as your possible
future chancellor,

I insist you let me
take something off your plate.

Ooh! The plates!
I almost forgot.

Thanks, Doña Paloma.

Is this gold leaf too much?

Or is it not enough?
Or should I have gone

with silver? Wait.
Is this silver?

Elena, let's chat for a second.

- Take a seat.
- Seat! Aah!

I haven't shown you my
Coronation dinner seating chart!

[inhales deeply]
I just can't figure out

where to put King Hector!
[laughs] There's no good choice!

How about we take a break
from the seating chart, Elena?

[sighs] Great idea, Isa.

I should study
my battle strategy map!

OK, so the bad guys'
last known location was here.

Those are... really detailed.

Is that an actual mustache
on mini-Esteban?

I stayed up all night
making them.

(yawning) After I did
the calligraphy

for the Coronation table cards.

Elena, can't you leave
some of this

to the palace staff?

Aah! The staff!
I asked some of 'em

to hang banners on the bridge.

I should really go
check on them.

That's not what I meant.

Mmm, Mazapán. Oh!

(mouth full) That reminds me.
I need to talk to the chef!

Oop! Kitchen's this way!
[chuckles]

I've never seen her
this stressed out.

Yeah. We better do something.

Chocolate fountain, check!

[gasps] The fountain!

Actual fountain, check.
I'll tell Ixlan

to lay off this one, Octavio.
[laughs] No more fireworks.

- Ohh...
- [gasps] The fireworks!

But... [groans]

Ooh, we're gonna need
a lot more fireworks

than that. Like up to here!

- But...
- Thank you!

[panting]

Wait. Why did I come out here?

[gasps] Right. The banners.

Oh, hi. I just need to make
one teeny adjustment.

- [groans, grunting]
- You know what? Let me just...

This is the first thing
people will see,

so it has to be perfect.
Not just for the royal guests,

but for the people
of Avalor. [laughs]

Hola, Princesa Elena.

Well, hello! What's your name?

I'm Leo. We're camping out

to be first in line
for the Coronation!

Camping out?

Princess Elena,

such an honor to meet you.
Our future Queen.

Gracias, Señora.
How would you like

front-row seats
at the Coronation?

Really?! Did you hear that?

We're in the front row!

Oh! Thank you, Princess!

Ugh! Still crooked.

OK, maybe if we just
put this side higher...

No. No, no. Lower.
No, that's not it.

I think these banners
are broken!

Elena, come quick! You're needed

in the Grand Council chamber.

I'm a little busy here!

But it's, um...

a party-planning emergency?

[gasps] Well, why didn't
you say so!

I'm here! I'm here! Don't worry!

I'm redoing all the banners.

Hey, what happened
to my Coronation/battle prep

command center?
Uh... what's going on?

What's going on is
you need to stop

and take a break.
You're running yourself ragged.

Which is why the Grand Council
has voted to enforce

a mandatory day of relaxation.

But... but... Ash and Esteban
are gathering a team

that could strike at any moment.
Not to mention,

I haven't settled on the final
Coronation cake frosting!

Your team is ready
to defend us, Elena.

And Doña Paloma has
officially been named

Coronation Party Planner.

And I will help! As her
Assistant Party Planner.

Assistant to the Party Planner.

So all you need to do now,
mijita, is relax.

Princess Elena, you are hereby
relieved of duty.

So... what do I do now?

[Naomi] Our mission today:

To have a stress-free,
fun, relaxing, girls' day.

Yay! Girls' day!

What is a "girls' day,"

and why do I already
not like it?

Elena, from this moment forward,

you can just forget
about all things Coronation.

Whoo-hoo! Coronation Day!

- [chuckles]
- [sighs]

The first item
on our fun-genda...

[Antonio Agama]
Princess Elena! Look!

It's Queen Antonio!

No! Queen Pablo!

- No! I'm queen!
- Me!

[both chuckle nervously]

As I was saying, first item...

Princess Elena! We can't wait
to see your Coronation gown.

Is it fabulous?
What color is it?

I bet it's pink!

(sing-song) I bet it's blue!

Actually, it's...

Sorry, ladies!
No Coronation dress talk.

On to our first activity...

[both] Hmph!

- First... [growls]
- Oh! Princess Elena!

I just put together
a sample Coronation gift bag!

Ooh!

Keep it movin', Armando.

Oh, sorry. OK...

[sighs] I don't think

you're getting the point
of girls' day.

- [music playing]
- I'm sorry, Naomi. It's just...

Just nothing! We're gonna
tell you how it's done.

Tlaso Tonatu, Tlaso Mestli,

Tlaso Tikpak. Tlaso Tonatu,
Tlaso Mestli, Tlaso Tikpak!

Ow!

There. I have created

a circle of peace
for our girls' day.

[sighs deeply]

I do feel pretty relaxed.

See! And I bet you're
not even thinking about

all that craziness
back at the palace!

Like if the gold plates
are actually silver

or why those banners
won't hang straight.

Nope. Not one bit...

Besides, I'm sure Doña Paloma
has everything under control.

So, who's ready for some
Napurna-style yoga?

I am. I am amazing at yoga.
I always win.

It's... not a competition.
[chuckles nervously]

Coming, Elena?

Be right there!
I'm just enjoying the fire

for a bit. Ooh!
So relaxed. [chuckles]

Psst! m1ngo! m1ngo!

Hi, Princesa!

I have a top-secret
mission for you.

Anything for you!

[clears throat] I need you
to bring me my scepter.

Except that. They said

this is relaxation time.
No scepters allowed.

I just need
to check on things back home.

Just a teensy bit of Farsight.
What's the harm in that?

I don't know, Princesa...

I'll give you
all the s'mores you can eat!

[gasps] Anoki berry s'mores?!

Ew... but OK!

Deal! [purrs]

(chanting) Om....

King Raja told me
people in his kingdom

use this pose
to calm themselves.

My lotus pose is clearly
superior. I win yoga.

I really don't think
that's how it works.

[exhales]

[m1ngo] Psst.

Feeling relaxed, Elena?

Oh! Oh, yeah.
So relaxed. [sighs]

Next, let's move
into child's pose.

I want you to imagine yourself

in your happy place.
Where are you?

I'm at sea.

I'm on the b*ttlefield.

Conquering everything
in my path. [sighs]

Farsight!

Courtyard decorations, done.

Next, seating arrangements.

- Already finished!
- But what about...?

King Hector will have
his own table.

Huh. Great idea.

What about you, Elena?
Where's your happy place?

Now, on to napkin folds!

Elena?

I'm at the...
I'm at... the beach.

Oh, I can just picture it.
Me folding, um, I mean,

holding a cold agua fresca
in my hand.

[Julio]
You've got your swan fold,

pyramid fold,
and the bird of paradise fold.

Well, the choice
is clearly obvious.

Well, it sure is.
The pyramid fold.

The bird of paradise fold!

[gasps] What?!
No, no, no, no, no!

In Satu culture,
such ornate displays

are considered offensive!
[gasps]

What will King Toshi think?

[clears throat]

Uh... [grunts]

How did this get here?
[chuckles nervously]

How did this get here?!

That's it. We tried it your way.

-Time to do this
ancient Maruvian style.
-[gasps]

With a warm mud bath.

[sighs]


[sighs] The Maruvians
were on to something.

Thank you, Ixlan.

Ah, feels good to relax, right?

Actually, it does. [exhales]

I have been pretty wound up,
worrying about

all these little things.
What is wrong with me?

I have been compiling a list.
Number one...

Hey! Today is all about
leaving that stuff behind.

[yawns deeply] You're right.

Wow, I'm suddenly just...
[sighs] ...so tired.

Besides, who cares
if someone picks

the wrong napkin fold?

What's the worst
that can happen?

King Toshi gets offended,
backs out of the trade deal,

and triggers
an EverRealm-wide crisis?

Ha! As if. [sighs]

Huh?

Elena! What are you doing?

- Elena?
- [whistles] I'm sorry,

but nobody is using
a bird of paradise napkin fold

at my Coronation!

The fate of our kingdom
depends on it! H'yah!

[whinnies]

Hurry! We have to catch her!

Come on, Canela! To the palace!

[horse whinnies]

Farsight.

Oh, no! No, no, no,
no, no, no, no!

- What?
- Gotcha!

Uh-oh.

What is happening?

It's Elena's emotion magic.

Whenever she feels
a strong emotion,

her dress turns colors
and weird things happen.

And purple is not good.

I disagree.
She looks better in purple.

[all exclaiming]

[whinnies]

- Whoa! Ohh!
- Why are we... doing ballet?

Oh! Elena hated ballet
when she was a kid.

I don't think I like it either!

I love it! Whee!

[huffs]

What is ballet,

and how do we make it stop?

Only Elena can do that.

- [whinnies]
- Whoa!

Why won't you stop the twirling?

[gasps] Oh, no!
I'm really sorry!

You don't look sorry!

[laughing]

Are you laughing?
This isn't funny!

It's a little funny. [laughing]

[whinnies]

Ta-da!

I'm adding this
to my list of things

that are wrong with you.

So, Elena, what do ya say?

Ready to get back in the mud?

- [whinnies]
- H'yah!

I do admire her stubbornness,
though. H'yah!

I say her dress is pink!

I say it's blue!

- [both scream]
- Aah!

Phew. That was close.

[both exclaiming]

[exclaiming]

[brays]

[grunts]

Ha-ha!

[brays]

Whoa. The courtyard
looks amazing!

- [whinnies]
- Whoa!

[gasps] Doña Paloma!

- H'yah!
- [whinnies]

Huh? Oh!

[growls] I quit!

[gasps]

[gasps]

- Doña Paloma!
- Princess Elena,
what are you...?

We must not,
under any circumstances,

use the bird of paradise
napkin fold at the Coronation.

- I agree.
- Wait, what?

I remembered that it might be

considered showy
in Satu culture,

so I ultimately decided
on the pyramid fold.

You did?!

[Julio] Princess Elena!

- Look out!
- Aah! Canela!

- [donkey braying]
- [gasping]

[gasps]

H'yah!

Whew! That was close.

Mm. You win bridge destruction.

Ugh!

Mommy, does this mean
there won't be a Coronation?

I... I don't know, sweetheart.

Rough day at the office?

You tried to help me,
but I wouldn't let you.

You've been so worked up
about all these tiny details,

like plates and napkin folds.
It's not like you.

It's just... [groans]

I'm about to become queen.

I'll have to make
every decision on my own.

Without the Grand Council
to help.

What if a big emergency
comes up?

I think you just created one.

[Elena] Yeah.

I got caught up worrying about
all the little things

because I... I wasn't sure
I could handle the big ones.

And now you have
to fix a bridge in two days

or there won't be a Coronation.

So... here's your chance
to handle that big emergency.

[sighs]

[gasps]

Ixlan, stand back!

Seal it!

You fixed it.
I am jumping for joy.

But it's too rough.

We can't roll a carriage
over that.

I'm starting to wish
we'd stayed at the lake,

making paper flowers
and jaquin-skiing and...

[gasps] That's it!
I know how to fix it!

Doña Paloma!
You head back to the palace

while we take care
of the bridge.

You're in charge
of all the Coronation details!

I am? Well, it's about time!

But I'm going to need my
Assistant Party Planner.

You mean your Assistant
to the Party Planner?

No. I mean
Assistant Party Planner.

[gasps] It would be my honor!

[horse whinnies]

I think I know
how to fix the bridge.

But I can't do it alone.

Yes, you need
all the help you can get.

We're also gonna need
rocks, mud,

and a whole bunch of water skis.

Water skis?

And now!

[screaming]

(flatly) Whee.

The frosting should be yellow!

It should be red!

- Yellow!
- Red!

Leo, would you and your family
like to get a sneak peek

of the palace
a couple of days early?

Really?!

[chuckles] I'll take that
as a "yes."

Whoa!

Doña Paloma,
it's beautiful. Thank you.

Just wait until you see
what we've done

with the throne room.
Although, I'm not

completely satisfied
with it yet. I still have

a million things to do and...

Wait. Why did I come
out here, again?

Ah. You know what you need?

A bigger budget?

A day off.

Doña Paloma, you are
officially off duty.

I'll take that.

All you need to do now
is... relax! [whistles]

But I don't know
how to relax! Aah!

I win girls' day!

[chuckles]

- H'yah!
- [whinnies]

See you at the Coronation!

Ooh! Looks like someone
just got a promotion!

- [gasps]
- [all laughing]
