At last, you are mine.

And soon, the kingdom of hakalo will be too.

( evil laughter ) ( thunder rumbling ) No! Put that back! It belongs to my family.

( grunting ) Mom! Dad! Leilani? Leilani? Help! Leilani! Are you up here? She fell overboard.

Men, the princess has fallen in the ocean.

And the emerald key is gone.

Don't worry, my sweet girl.

We'll find you.

Wait.

Don't go.

Come back.

Roland: Miranda, looks like a storm's moving in.

We should head back.

Let's pack up, everyone.

All right, mom.

( gasps ) look at that.

That's a fancy-looking key.

I think it's made of emerald.

Look what I found.

Hey, it's glowing.

Dad, do you think it's magical? I don't know.

I've never seen anything like it before.

Well, we have books about magical jewels in the library.

Maybe we can check when we get back.

( thunder rumbling ) oh.

Time to go.

They have the key.

But how will I get it back? ( chuckles ) I know.

I'll tell them that it's my key.

And once I get the key, I will have my revenge on hakalo.

Crystal of night and air, Make me a princess fair.

( evil laughter ) Ooh, 1,001 tiaras: The ultimate guide to being a classic princess.

I love this book.

Aha, here it is.

The complete guide to magical jewels.

There.

Oh, I think that's it.

"the emerald key of hakalo.

The kingdom of hakalo is a hidden island.

Only the emerald key can unlock The passage to this island kingdom.

" It says the key belongs to the royal family of hakalo.

I've never even heard of that kingdom.

Well, I always thought it was a legend, not a real place.

Your majesty, there is a visitor at the door Who says she is the princess of hakalo.

The princess of hakalo? Where's the princess? Right here.

I'm princess leilani of hakalo.

But everyone calls me lani.

Sorry I'm dripping everywhere.

I fell off my royal ship last night And washed up on your beach.

Oh, you poor thing.

Someone was trying to steal my family's emerald key.

And when I tried to stop her, we fell overboard.

I don't know what to do now.

Without that key, my family and I can never get home.

It's okay, lani.

We found your key.

Oh.

You don't know how happy that makes me.

( knocking on door ) I'll get it.

Greetings, your majesties.

I am princess leilani of hakalo.

Wait, what? What? I see you found my emerald key.

But wait.

She said she was princess leilani.

I am princess leilani.

She's lying.

I am the real princess.

She's trying to steal my key, Just like that awful woman last night.

You're the one who's lying.

It's my key.

I need it to get home.

You have to give it to me.

You can't give it to her.

We're not giving the key to either of you Until we figure out which one of you is telling the truth.

And that may take some time.

So let's-- let's get you two dried off first.

Right this way, ladies.

I'll send messengers out to sea To look for the king and queen of hakalo.

They must be worried sick about their daughter.

Who do you think is the real princess? It's leilani.

Just look at her gown.

Leilani does seem more princessy.

And lani's so-called crown is just flowers.

Not diamond flowers, real flowers.

But lani could still be a princess.

( sighs ) I wish there was a way to know who's telling the truth.

( gasps ) there is.

We'll give them a test.

Oh! Oh, daddy.

We have decided that the best way to determine Which of you is the true princess is to hold a test.

The test will have three challenges.

All taken from 1,001 tiaras: The ultimate guide to being a classic princess.

I will judge the test, With a little help from the royal family.

And whoever does better will get the key.

I have to do all that just to get my own key back? You mean my key.

And I am happy to do whatever you require.

Thank you, your majesty.

The first challenge will take place in the ballroom.

Please follow me.

The handbook says a princess must be graceful.

So for this first challenge, you will dance.

And we'll see which of you has the grace of a true princess.

You may begin.

Leilani is waltzing wonderfully.

What is lani doing? I don't know, but it's funny.

I like it.

Lani, what is that dance? It's called the "swaying blossom.

" It's the first dance everyone learns in hakalo.

Unless you're a princess.

In which case you learn to waltz.

The waltz is the most royal dance of all.

I think it's quite clear that this round goes to leilani.

I don't know, amber.

Lani's dance may be strange, but it's still graceful.

I agree.

Hmm, it is a nice dance.

Not as graceful as leilani's waltz.

Leilani wins this challenge.

( sighs ) ( chuckles ) wonderful.

Baileywick, let's move on to the next challenge.

To the throne room, everyone.

"a princess must always be polite.

" In this next challenge, We will be watching to see how good your manners are.

James will pretend to be a duke.

The duke of jameslandia.

Now, ladies, pretend these presents are from the duke.

Please open them and show us how you would politely thank him.

Oh, how nice of you to give me such a wonderful Snail? How disgusting.

Why would you give me such a hideous thing? That's no way to open a gift.

Wow, my very own snail.

It's so pretty.

You think it's pretty? Yes, the shell reminds me Of some of my seashells back home.

Does the duke of jameslandia give great gifts or what? ( chuckles ) I love it.

Thank you.

Um, excuse me, everyone.

I believe I misspoke earlier when I called the snail hideous.

I meant to say, adorable.

And I thank you for your generosity.

I thought lani was much nicer when she opened the gift.

But leilani curtsied when she thanked james.

But lani sounded more sincere.

And gracious.

I agree.

Lani wins this challenge.

That means it's even.

But I should've won.

I curtsied.

She didn't curtsey.

Whoa! Oh.

My apologies.

Here, let me help.

Oh.

Thank you, m'lady.

Now, girls, because we have a tie, Whoever wins the next challenge wins the test.

Baileywick? I'm afraid the next challenge takes place outside, And it's still raining, your majesty.

Okay, girls, we'll have to continue the test in the morning.

But we invite you to stay in the castle tonight as our guests.

I don't have time for that.

My family's out there somewhere And we need that key to get home.

( sighs ) ( crying ) ( clover grunting ) Oh.

( chuckles ) hey there, little fella.

Did you get stuck in there looking for a snack? Don't worry, I'll find you one.

Let me dry you off, poor thing.

You're soaking wet.

Lani, are you okay? Not really.

No one believes I'm the real princess, do they? Well, we're just not sure yet.

If I don't get the emerald key back, My family can't go home.

Could you imagine never being able to go home again? No, I couldn't.

You know, sofia, I may not know How to waltz or dress as fancy as everyone else, But that doesn't mean I'm not a princess.

I may dance quite differently than you don't know your ways or what I should do far from home, I'm feeling lost at sea but I try as best as I can to do the right thing wherever I am 'cause I was taught that's just the way of royalty I always thought to be a princess true all that matters are the deeds you do look for a wrong and make it right be kind to others day and night let your inner light shine through that's how to be a princess true You're right, lani.

That's exactly how a princess should act.

And it's the way you've been acting all day With violet and clover, Which means you're the real princess.

So you believe me? I do.

all along, you have shown so much heart and your kindness has set you apart it took a while, but now I finally see it's how you act and not how you look it's from within you and not from a book so it's clear to me that you deserve the emerald key and now I know to be a princess true all that matters are the deeds you do look for a wrong and make it right be kind to others day and night let your inner light shine through that's how to be a princess true a princess like you I'm so glad you believe me.

Now I just need to convince the rest of your family.

Oh, you will.

This'll be your room.

But let's get you some pajamas first.

Hmm.

It looks like I'll have to make extra sure That little princess fails tomorrow's challenge.

I know just the thing.

( laughing ) My magic will ruin lani's sleep.

She'll be exhausted for the final test.

That should do nicely.

( grunting and groaning ) ( knocking on door ) Rise and shine, everyone.

You too, lani.

Good morning, princess sofia.

Good morning, leilani.

( gasps ) who let a rabbit in the castle? Oh.

( scoffs ) If that girl's a princess, I'm a skunk.

And I smell good.

Sofia, what time is it? Almost time for the last challenge.

Are you okay? No.

I'm really tired.

I barely slept last night.

I just couldn't get comfortable in that bed.

Baileywick: Breakfast is served.

Well, you better hurry and get dressed.

The challenge starts right after breakfast.

Okay.

"chapter eight: A princess must be smart as well as nimble.

" Therefore, your next challenge is a race through this maze.

Good luck, and may the true princess win.

On your mark ( yawning ) Get set.

Go.

( panting ) Oh.

Which way now? Why is lani moving so slowly? She didn't sleep well.

Maybe she's not used to sleeping in a castle.

And leilani wins the challenge.

That settles it.

Leilani is the real princess.

But, dad, lani didn't sleep well last night.

I think we need another challenge.

No, we don't.

The test had three challenges, And leilani did better on two of them.

But lani acts more like a princess.

I'm afraid amber's right, sofia.

We gave them a fair test and leilani did better.

So we must conclude that she is the true princess.

Princess leilani, I am pleased to return To you your emerald key.

At last, it's mine.

Again.

Your majesty.

One of the messengers have located the hakaloan royal ship.

The king and queen are on their way.

Marvelous.

Oh.

I'm just so excited.

Perhaps one of your coaches could take me to meet them? As you wish.

Please escort princess leilani to our coach.

Right this way, princess.

( panting ) Did I win? Where's leilani? Where's the key? I'm sorry.

Leilani made it out of the maze first.

We had to give her the key.

But she's not the real princess.

How could you give away my key? I think we made a big mistake.

Lani.

Hmm.

You know, miranda, if lani isn't The princess of hakalo, then who is she? We better go find out.

( crying ) Lani, I'm sorry.

What am I gonna do now? How will I ever get back home? And why is this bed so uncomfortable? Impossible.

Our beds are the softest in the kingdom.

Let me try it.

Ow.

Lani's right, it's really lumpy.

That's why I couldn't sleep last night.

Excuses, excuses.

( grunts ) it feels awful.

No true princess could ever sleep on this.

There must be something under the mattress.

( gasps ) Look.

That's leilani's ring.

Leilani must've put it there So lani wouldn't sleep well and fail the test.

Well, I know one thing.

A true princess would never cheat.

If leilani cheated, then ( gasps ) you are the real princess.

Hello, people.

I could've told you that yesterday.

Then we did make a big mistake.

We have to stop her, dad.

You're right.

Quick, to the coach.

Come on.

We got to help 'em.

( horses neighing ) Leilani! Stop! You wouldn't want to leave this behind, would you? Can this thing go any faster? Stop that coach at once.

Whoa.

Whoa.

They all know I'm the real princess.

Now give me back the key.

Never! ( coachman grunts ) ( all gasping ) it's you.

Yes, and now your key is mine.

Away! Hurry, dad, get her.

She tried to steal the key from my ship last night.

She's the reason I fell overboard.

Who are you? I am mamanu.

I was once the royal enchantress of hakalo.

I've heard of you.

My father caught you stealing magical crystals From the royal museum.

He banished you from the kingdom forever.

But now that I have the emerald key, I will rule hakalo.

You and your parents will never see home sweet home again.

No.

( mamanu cackling ) Hiya! Faster! Whoa! Okay, yo, I got an idea.

Tell every woodland creature in the forest To stop that creepy lady.

You got it.

We're losing her.

Oh.

Maybe not.

Look, the birds are going after her.

( screams ) what's this? Keep going.

What's wrong with you? ( gasps ) Hold on.

( all screaming ) ( panting ) Oh.

She's getting away.

Stop right there, creepy lady.

( whistles ) What is this? Get out of my way! ( gasps ) look at that.

Those woodland creatures are stopping her.

( whimpering and gasping ) ( growling ) I'll take that, mamanu.

Give that back! You'll have to get past me first.

Past all of us.

Guards, seize her.

You have not seen the last of me.

( all gasping ) where'd she go? Far away, I hope.

You have no idea How much this key means to me and my family.

Speaking of your family, I say we head back to the castle and meet them.

Thank you for taking care of our daughter And keeping our key safe.

You're very welcome.

Now we must be heading home.

So I guess it's time to say good-bye? We don't say good-bye in hakalo.

We do this.

It means "until we meet again.

" Until we meet again.

Emerald key, lead us to hakalo.
