She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am Adora,
He-Man's twin sister
and defender
of the Crystal Castle.
This is Spirit,
my beloved steed.
Fabulous secrets
were revealed to me
the day I held aloft my sword
and said
"For the honor of Grayskull!"
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
Only a few others
share this secret.
Among them are Light Hope,
Madame Razz, and Kowl.
Together, we and my friends
of the Great Rebellion
strive to free Etheria
from the evil forces of Hordak.
She-Ra♪
She-Ra ♪
We, the freedom-loving
people of Elberon
do join this day
to celebrate our independence.
He's been talking
for hours.
I'm bored.
Come on, Kowl.
Let's take a walk.
Oh-hoo, a capital idea.
Freeing towns
from the Horde
would be a lot more fun
without the speeches.
Bow, look. A well.
Just the thing
for my dry throat.
Oh-hoo, hoo.
Hmm, it doesn't look
like this well
has been used lately.
I don't even see
any water.
We'll see if there is with this.
Just listen for the splash.
Excuse me, friends.
Am I in time
for the big ceremony?
You sure are.
And don't hurry.
The mayor's still talking.
Thank you.
By the way, you won't get
any water out of there.
That well was used
as a fuel tank by the Horde,
so we abandoned it.
- Uh, fuel tank?
- Fuel tank?
Just don't drop any matches
down there.
Look out!
The old fuel tank's exploding!
It'll set the town on fire!
Go, Swifty!
There's only one chance.
We've got to make
enough of a whirlwind
to pick up the fire and take it
where it can't hurt anyone.
Now, Swift Wind!
There. That lake.
Dive, Swift Wind! Dive!
Nice job, old friend.
You weren't too bad yourself.
She-Ra ♪
We no sooner free a town
from the Horde
than you nearly destroy it
in one move.
It was an accident.
Ooh, you're an accident!
Dropping a brick
down a fuel tank.
So that's what happened.
Of course it was an accident,
Kowl.
But, Bow, just be careful
what you drop down a hole.
Oh, I will.
You never know
what might be underground.
What was that?
Whatever it is
I don't like the sound of it.
A dragon!
What a day!
Looks like She-Ra
is going to have to make
another appearance.
Bow, let me go!
Don't worry, Adora.
I'll save you.
But I don't want
Quick, into the cottage.
Oh-hoo-hoo, wait for me!
Oh, help! Help!
The dragon's going to get me!
Bow? Are you all right?
All right, dragon, I've had it.
Please don't be angry.
You can speak?
Of course. So canso can you.
B-but I'm a man.
Now, tell me,
what's this all about?
Oh, but you are angry.
Oh, p-please,
please don't hurt me.
What do you mean,
"Please don't hurt me"?
You're a dragon!
Oh, but I'm afraid
of everything.
I'm even afraid of you.
Isn't that silly?
What is that supposed to mean?
Do you have any idea
who you're dealing with, dragon?
Uh, whoever you are,
you sure have a pretty dress.
That's true.
Bow, you've never looked
so lovely.
Oh, please, don't hurt me.
I just want to be your friend.
It's not often
that you find a dragon
who wants to be friendly.
Oh, I haven't much choice.
See, I'm afraid of everything.
Not everything?
Oh, yes, I am.
You name it, I'm afraid of it.
Frankly, it's very embarrassing.
My name is Adora.
Who are you?
My name is Sorrowful.
Well, Sorrowful,
I'd like to be your friend.
You would?
Oh-hoo, that is,
providing you don't
go running around
tearing up the town.
Dragons have been known
to do that, you know.
Oh, that tickles!
Oh-hoo! I don't believe it!
You're ticklish?
Stop! Stop it!
Oh, stop it! I can't stand it!
Oh-hoo! How about here?
Oh, that's the worst!
Oh, it's no use.
I'll never be a real dragon.
I'm a joke, a clown.
Believe me, I'm a disgrace.
No, you're not.
You're the nicest dragon
I've ever met.
And you're the nicest person
I've ever met.
Do you think you could help me
find a sorceress
who could give me
some courage, huh?
Maybe Castaspella
could help you.
Casta-who?
Castaspella, queen of Mystacor.
I bet she can help you
find your courage.
Is she scary?
Not at all!
I'm sure she'd like to be
your friend too.
I'll go with you to Mystacor
to make sure nothing happens
on the way.
Oh-hoo-hoo, but when it does
and this gallivanting gallant
turns to run,
I'll stand at your side
to protect you.
Let's go to Mystacor.
Oh, you're all such good friends
to do this for me.
I just hope it works.
Uh-oh, this place
feels kind of scary.
Maybe I don't need my courage
so much after all.
Let's forget it.
Not to worry, Sorrowful.
I'm here to protect you.
I'm not sure
I'm gonna like this.
In fact, I know I'm not.
She-Ra ♪
Mighty Hordak,
I bring a message
from Mantenna.
And have you any good news
to report?
Mantenna and Leech have begun
clearing a road
through Greenvale.
The kingdom of Mystacor
will be divided in half
before the day is out.
Excellent!
Now good-bye.
No!
That was good.
Imp!
You want me, Hordak?
Yes. Go to Mystacor
and spy on Castaspella for me.
Anything you discover,
pass it on to Leech
and Mantenna.
Right, Chief.
I'll bounce over there
right away.
Mystacor will soon be mine!
Castaspella, your days of power
are numbered!
A dragon?
Believe me, Casta,
he's sweet and harmless.
Harmless?
Oh, my dear,
you're such a trusting soul.
There's no such thing
as a harmless dragon.
He's very sweet,
and he needs our help.
So you come to me
seeking courage?
Well, I
No, I mean
Speak up!
He's fainted!
He's definitely not
your everyday dragon.
I'll just watch from here.
Let the Ceremony of Courage
begin.
Let this dragon experience
the hero's welcome.
Sound the fanfare!
I don't believe it!
A cowardly dragon!
This is more of a challenge
than I thought.
This should do the trick.
Oh, frankly, I don't think
anything's going to work.
Arise, Sorrowful the Courageous!
With all respect and that,
Your Magicalness,
I-I don't feel any different.
Congratulations,
Sorrowful.
You are now as brave
and gallant as I.
Oh, of course, that isn't saying
all that much.
Boo!
Kowl, that wasn't
a nice thing to do.
Sorry.
I just thought a simple test
wouldn't hurt.
Oh, dear, this
may just be impossible.
- Uh
- Queen Castaspella!
Horde forces have invaded
the kingdom of Greenvale.
We must ride immediately
to aid King Gruff.
I'll teach those evil Hordesmen
to enter my domain.
Sorrowful, you're going
to come with us
to fight the Horde.
Uh, me, fight?
And what's a Horde?
You'll know soon.
And you won't like it.
I don't like it already.
Oh, it's time to get word
to Leech and Mantenna.
Let's go!
She-Ra ♪
Nobody will see us here.
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
Mm, timber!
Soon our path through Greenvale
will be clear,
and Mystacor
will be divided in half.
This will be the Horde's domain.
Hordak will probably promote us.
Oh, look, folks,
if it's all the same to you,
I'd just like to go back, uh?
Don't go back, Sorrowful.
This is your chance
to earn your courage.
How?
Well, when the Horde sees
we have a real dragon,
they'll turn and run.
That is, until they find out
what I'm really like.
A dragon!
A dragon who leaps
into the trees
at the sound of a trumpet!
Those Rebel clowns!
I can't wait to meet
their ferocious dragon.
Imp, for once, you did well.
- A cowardly dragon.
- Cowardly dragon!
Just wait. Mm, this will be fun!
She-Ra ♪
The Rebel forces
have assembled, King Gruff.
We're here to help you
fight off the Horde.
We are peace-loving creatures
here in Greenvale, She-Ra.
What do we know of war?
I'm afraid the Horde
has left you no choice.
Mm, soon Mystacor will be ours!
Mantenna!
Get out of Mystacor,
Hordesmen.
We don't want to fight you.
Unfortunately we want
to fight you!
Robot Destructos, attack!
Sorrowful, whoa!
Whoa, Sorrowful! Whoa!
Oops! I'm sorry.
I just want to get away
from here.
If I can just
get this rock to move.
Just got to push
as hard as I can.
Sorrowful, watch out!
Let me out of here!
Look out!
Everybody, clear out!
Oh, I knew I wasn't
going to like this.
Sorrowful,
listen to me.
I need your help.
Are you joking?
I can't help anybody.
I'm a coward.
You are not a coward.
You just haven't found a reason
to have courage.
What's the difference?
Even Castaspella's magic spells
couldn't help me.
She didn't have the right magic.
You wear the Flower of Power.
Let your love for your friends
help you find your courage.
My friends?
You know, I never had
any friends before.
Uh, Mr. Hordesman,
could I talk to you?
I don't want to trouble you
or anything,
but I don't like
what you're doing to my friends.
Go away, clown.
Uh, they are the first friends
I've ever had,
and they mean everything to me.
Look, you lily-livered reptile.
We'll tie you up on a leash
in the Fright Zone
and make you clean up
the dungeon.
Oh, that really isn't very nice
of you, you know.
If you had any real friends,
you wouldn't be such a grump.
Don't worry.
Your friends will be there
to keep you company.
And nothing is going to stop us.
Oh, see now, that's
where I think you're wrong.
Uh, you know,
that wasn't half bad.
I thought you said
he was a coward.
He was. He was.
No, I don't want
to get angry again.
Nono, of course not!
But I am gonna have
to teach you a lesson.
Look!
Sorrowful's done it.
Yay, Sorrowful!
Hooray!
Not bad at all. Ha!
You did it, Sorrowful.
And you were wonderful!
Aw, thanks She-Ra,
but it wasn't really me.
It was those magic flowers
you gave me.
No, it was you, Sorrowful.
You see, those flowers
weren't really magical.
What?
The flowers aren't magic?
Not at all.
The courage was all yours.
You mean Ithe Hordesmen
and they could have
I mean, you don't mean that
I got angry with
They could have
And I did that?
That's exactly what I mean.
He's fainted.
Sorrowful, are you all right?
Uh, sorry.
Force of habit.
Oh, please, Sorrowful.
Stay with us here in Mystacor.
Your newfound courage
could come in handy.
Uh, thanks, Casta. I'd love to.
But Sorrowful wasn't
the only hero today.
You were terrific.
He fainted!
Bow, I'm sorry!
I'm not.
It was worth it.
Hi, it's me again, Loo-Kee.
Did you find
my hiding place today?
If not, take another look.
See me now?
In today's story,
Sorrowful thought
he didn't have courage.
He found that he had more
than he thought.
So if you ever need
to look for courage,
you can find it in
the same place Sorrowful did
right in your heart.
Bye, now!
