It's gone! [Holly is crying.] Ben: Hi, Holly. Holly: Hi, Ben. Ben: What's wrong? Holly: I've lost my wand. I can't do magic anymore. Ben: Maybe that's a good thing. Holly: It's not funny! I'm never going to find my wand and I'll be sad forever. [She cries again.] Ben: Cheer up, Holly. I will find your wand. Holly: How? Ben: Elves are very good at finding things, and I'm an elf. [blows trumpet] Holly: Thanks, Ben. Elf Joke Day Holly: Hi, Ben. Ben: Hi, Holly. I've got a new toy. Holly: What is it? Ben: It's a telescope. You can see things that are really far away. Holly: Wow! Can I have a go? Ben: [hands the telescope to Holly] Okay. Holly: [holds the telescope to her eye] I can't see anything. Ben: Try twisting it a bit. Holly: [twists the telescope a bit] It still doesn't work. [she puts the telescope off her eye, revealing a black ring around it] [Ben starts laughing.] Holly: Why are you laughing, Ben? Ben: It's a joke telescope! It gives you a black ring around your eye that makes you look really silly! Look! [grabs a spyglass to make Holly look at it] Holly: Ah! Why did you do that? Wise Old Elf: [opening the door] Let's go and join in the fun! Nanny Plum: [screaming while breaking the toy mouse] Help! Wise Old Elf: [entering with Ben and Holly] Ho-ho-ho. Happy Elf Joke Day!

Betty Caterpillar Holly: Look, Betty Caterpillar is sad. [Betty starts crying.] Ben: I think she feels a bit left out. [Gaston the Ladybird and Bobby the Bee are having fun flying. Betty is crying again.] I know how to cheer her up. Holly: Oh, good. Go on then, Ben. Ben: Don't be sad, Betty. Flying isn't everything. Elve's can't fly, and I'm an elf. [blows trumpet] [Betty cries again.] Holly: That didn't cheer her up much. [Betty cries once again.] Maybe I can make her fly by magic. Ben: Can you do that? Holly: Um, I think so. Picnic on the Moon [The scene pans up to the moon, the title Picnic on the Moon appears.] Ben: (o.s.) Today's adventure starts... In Outer Space! Holly: (o.s.) Picnic on the Moon. Nanny Plum: That's the last straw, no water in the sea, and we can't eat food. What kind of picnic is this? Mr. Elf: [yelling deeply; shouting in annoyance] IT'S NOT A PICNIC!!!

King Thistle: Please keep Gaston under control. Holly: Sorry, Dad. King Thistle: We live in the castle, Gaston lives outside. [Gaston is whining.] Ben: Never mind, Gaston. Let's all go to the great elf tree instead. Mr. Elf: Mrs. Elf, that blueberry pie smells delicious. Mrs. Elf: Yes, Mr. Elf. The secret is to cook it very slowly over 3 days. Ben: Hello Mum! Holly: Hello! Mrs. Elf: Hello Ben, Hello Holly! Mr. Elf: Ah, Can't he shake himself outside? Mrs. Elf: That pie is not for you, Gaston! Now Ben, Gaston should live outside, we live inside. Ben: Okay, Mum. Mr. Elf: AGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! Where's the pie gone?! Mrs. Elf: Gaston's eating it! Holly: We don't know it was Gaston. Ben: It could have been someone else. Mrs. Elf: He's the only one with pie on his face! Mr. Elf: [crossly] Out Gaston, I never want to see you again.</big> [Gaston is whining.] Ben: Sorry, Gaston. Holly: You'd better go home. Mrs. Elf: Go on, Gaston! Off you go! Queen Thistle: Bedtime, Holly! [Holly sighs] Are you all right, darling? Holly: I'm a bit sad. Gaston isn't allowed in our houses anymore. [Gaston is howling.] Gaston! Oh, Gaston is all wet and cold. King Thistle: Gaston, go and make this ruckus somewhere else! Holly: Poor Gaston. [rooster crowing] Gaston! Holly: Gaston?

King Thistle: You're right, it's not funny. [keeps laughing] Wise Old Elf: Nanny does not have a license, she must not do magic! King Thistle: Yes, yes, Wise Old Elf. But maybe we can overlook it just this once as it's Nanny? Dolly Plum Nanny Plum: Oh, Thanks, Holly. [Daisy and Poppy are crying again.] Holly: Now the twins are crying again.

Redbeard the Elf Pirate: I know, this is a dry run. King Thistle: NOW SEE HERE, I DON'T WANT ANY BIRTHDAY STUFF! Redbeard the Elf Pirate: [sighs] That's what you say every year.
