The hall for the palace ball is in a hopeless mess, and the prince is just about to give up preparing for the ball when Rockie wanders in.
Educational theme: The value of labor and providing one's labor for others.
It's starting!
Hurl that big rock with your tail, WHIP-WHIP- WHIP.
Leap across Donut Swamp, THUD-THUD-THUD.
But your heart is tender and warm.
Don't flinch!
Don't mope!
Don't you cry!
Charge ahead, Rockie!
Go, Rockie!
Rockie Goes to the Palace Ball.
Everyone, we're having a dance practice today,
since tomorrow is the Central Primary School Dance Show.
Yes ma'am!
Yaay!
I'm going to give it my best.
I-I'm getting nervous already.
Hey, Rockie, is your family coming to see the show?
Yeah.
They're coming to cheer me on.
So I need to look good.
Then let's start.
Now, One, two, three, two, two, three
Daintily jump!
Here we go!
Whee!
I was so surprised, my tail broke off again.
Sorry about that.
I'm home!
Rockie!
Welcome home, Rockie.
Here's your dress, as promised.
Wow, it looks so nice!
Yeah!
Your Mom worked hard making it.
It was just in time.
Yes.
This will make you the star of the show tomorrow without a doubt.
Huh?
My head won't come through.
Huhh?
Let me check.
I guess it was a bit small.
I can't even wear this.
Oh, honey.
Oh, don't worry.
I can fix it up in a jiffy.
Can you?
I'm so glad.
Then Rockie, in the meantime can you shell the tumble beans out in the yard?
Sure, I'll handle that.
Here you go.
A-All this?
Off you go.
Off you go.
Off you go.
There are still so many to go.
I wonder if everyone else is practicing at home.
Enough of this.
I need to practice my dance.
One, two, three, and jump!
Ow, ow, ow.
Huh?
Hmm.
Here's a book again.
Uh...What's this?
Where am I this time?
Un, deux, trois, un, deux, trois... la...
Huh?
Mom?
Mom?
Nonsense, Cinder-Rockie.
I'm your sweet and caring fairy godmother.
Fairy godmother?
M-hm.
Un, deux, trois, ALAKAZAM!
PRESTO!
Huhh?
That's a glass headpiece for you.
You're going to dance with the Prince at the palace ball.
At the palace ball?
Is this the place?
What's all this?
Work, work.
Work, work.
Work, work, work.
Rush, rush.
Oh no.
My tail has come off again.
Slinky?
Is that you?
Slinky?
No, I'm Charmy.
Char...my?
Uh...Would you know where the palace ball is taking place?
Right here.
Huh?
This is hopeless.
The ball is supposed to start here in this hall.
Huhh?
Really?
But I don't have enough people to help me.
Plates are broken, and I've lost my tail too.
This is a disaster.
Oh, come on.
Let's clean this up somehow.
It's no use.
There isn't enough time.
And everybody's looking forward to the ball.
You shouldn't give up yet.
Come on, I'll help you.
Work, work, work.
Work, work, work.
Sweep!
Sweep!
Sweep!
Sweep!
Sweep!
Whoosh!
It's all cleaned up.
Just in the nick of time.
So... Are you going to stay and...?
Here we are, folks.
This is the palace ballroom.
Get out of the way.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh... Slow down.
Oh, she's gone.
This must be hers...
- Stars are sparkling bright.
- Shadows quiver in the light.
- Tonight is the wonderful royal ball.
- Yes, it's the Prince's palace ball.
Listen, the Prince is looking for a certain girl.
I hear she left her glass headpiece behind.
The next lady please.
Are you the one?
Hmm.
It's not you.
Oh, that's too bad.
The next lady please.
M-hm.
Are you the one?
Hmm.
It's too big for you too.
Ohh.
Too bad.
Okay.
Next lady please.
Let's see.
Ah!
I've found her!
What?
You mean me?
Huh?
Are you Charmy?
Thanks for your help earlier.
Whaaat?
You're the Prince?
I'm Prince Charmy of this palace.
It's thanks to you that we could hold the palace ball.
Oh, please.
I only helped out a little bit.
But it feels kind of nice to be thanked so much.
I was going to give up if it weren't for your help.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the lady who cleaned up the ballroom with me.
Thank you, Cinder-Rockie!
Cinder-Rockie!
Cinder-Rockie!
Cinder-Rockie!
Cinder-Rockie!
Cinder-Rockie!
Wha...?
Where am I?
Oh, I've come back home.
Puckoo's scale?
Yes!
Off you go.
Off you go.
Here we are, Rockie.
Your dress is fixed now.
Wow!
Wow!
Off...Off...Off...It's all done!
Wow, Rockie, you did your chore so well.
Look, it's all empty.
My goodness!
I'm so impressed.
Mom, Dad, thanks for the dress.
I'll do my best in the dance show tomorrow!
That's all for now!
