00:00 Hello! Who are you?
00:04 Oh, just a fire fairy.
00:06 I think she's cursed.
00:08 Maybe she's blessed.
00:10 Maybe she's both.
00:12 You three are going down once and for all!
00:26 You need a very special speckled egg so we can bake a blueberry pie for their sick mama.
00:34 That's the last box. We just need one.
00:36 Gah! I want to crush that guy!
00:40 Here's the deal. Jodi and me will sneak out to the north part of the dell and distract him.
00:47 Then Hazel will run in and grab his speckled eggs.
