[The video opens with Mirabel setting at a desk, and there's... crumpled up paper around her. She's got her face in her hands, and gives a loud groan.]

Ughhh, I can't think of anything to draw or paint lately!

It's just one big blank!

I just... don't even feel like painting or drawing.

This is the worst.

[Oh no, maybe there's something going on not related to painting angst that Mirabel's going through?]

[Snow White had texted Mirabel her location leaning up against a stone fence that separated the biking path and the beach trails as she was currently responding to a text from her stepmother. Surrounding Snow White were seagulls, a sea lion had made his way up the beach to relax at her feet, piper birds, pelicans, several crabs, and even a pigeon or two.

The sea lion let out a long bark to let Snow White that Mirabel was approaching, and she stood up and smiled, waving to Mirabel.] Mirabel! Over here!

[Mirabel sees Snow White and jogs the rest of the way towards her.]

Hey! How are - is that a sea lion?

[... Come to think of it, she's never seen a sea lion in person.]

Mirabel! Hello! [Snow put her phone in her purse and smiled. At the question, she rested a hand atop the sea lion's massive head.]

Hmm? Oh! Oh yes, this is Gilda! Gilda and her family just came out to visit me. [She pointed to the giant buoy further out in the ocean where many more sea lions were lazing about and two bulls were practically sinking a boat anchored near it.] You missed the others. I thought the entire pod might be a bit much for you to meet all at once. There's over 50 of them, after all. But the bulls, that is Kingston and Albert, insisted I have one of the pod members stay with me for safety so Gilda here volunteered. Isn't that right, Gilda?

[Here, the sea lion leaned up to kiss Snow on the cheek.]

Oh, but that was a very very long way for me to say yes, this is a sea lion. Gilda, meet Mirabel, Mirabel, meet Gilda.

[Wow, Snow, are you secretly Antonio? Mirabel's not... as shocked as she probably should be, but she's still pretty amazed by the pod of sea lions!]

Nice to meet you and your family, Gilda! You're all very cute.

[Excuse you, Mirabel, Snow is older both movie and age wise, if anything, Antonio is secretly HER.

The sea lion barks and then begins to waddle back to the beach.]

Bye bye Gilda! [She waved before turning back to Mirabel... and all the other animals still not leaving.] I'm ready when you are!

[nonmagical]

I'm ready.

[She motions to let Snow White lead the way.]

Wow, I could count on one hand the number of times I've been out here.

I imagine are numbers are much the same, I only just moved to Kaisou, myself. But it IS rather lovely, isn't it? Moana took me here.

And I think, for all my traveling, one of the most connecting things is just how beautiful sunsets and sunrises are. Oh, but forgive me, I suppose that is really rather corny to say. [Even if it was what Snow White held onto move after move after move.]
