Before taking a seat, Rover listens in on all of the children’s conversations
Serious Child: “Put your feet down. You heard Encore, she won't start until everyone's nice and quiet.”
Naughty Child: “I don't want to listen to some lame... All right, all right. Geez.”
Skeptical Child: “Do you really believe what she says? You know, those stories about a huge cat living in a house made out of candy, or the kind person whose heart got turned into stone by bad guys or whatever. There's no way they exist!”
Confident Child: “You don't know that. I'm sure they're based on things that are real. I'd bet anything the huge cat is real!”
Doudou: “Ohh, I hope Encore starts her story soon, she only finished half of it last time, and I couldn't find the rest of it in any of the books at home…”
Mingming: “I wonder where she gets all her stories from. I mean, she's not from around here.”
Doudou: “Yeah, where is Encore from? Let's ask her once the story's finished.”
Rover approaches their seat after listening to the children’s conversations, awaiting Encore’s story to begin

Encore: “All right. Settle down everyone. The story's about to start!”
Serious Child: “Is it about the gray birdie? We didn't get to finish it last time.”
Encore: “Nope, today's story will be about the Wooly Warrior and how she makes her wishes come true. The story begins in a land of boundless imagination known as the Wooly Kingdom…”
Encore: “Legend says, that deep within the kingdom's castle lies a magical gateway. Whoever passes through it can have any wish come true! To reach this gateway, you must first go over a great many obstacles. Yet, countless adventurers still choose to embark on this journey, for each holds wishes to fulfill.”
Encore: “Before setting off on their quests, Fairy Cloudy will ask them—”
Cloudy (Encore): “Should you pass through this mythical gateway, you will be granted endless wealth and honor, along with a treasure trove of unforgettable memories.”
Rover is quite entertained at Encore’s storytelling capabilities
Cloudy (Encore): “Now answer me this... What drives you to venture on this risky journey?”
Serious Child: “If you'd ask me... I'd choose wealth, that way I can buy all the Star Flakes I can eat!”
Skeptical Child: “Pfft. I'd definitely choose honor, that way I'll be famous, and everyone would shout my name whenever they see me, wherever!”
Encore guides Cloudy forward, directing the stories attention to Rover
Rover: “Riches.”
Cloudy (Encore): “Thus you shall accompany the merchants and travel across the high seas to Rinascita. They say treasures fill its lands, and you'll gain a fortune beyond your wildest dreams!”

Rover: “Fame.”
Cloudy (Encore): “It appears you're already quite renowned! Baa. Just traverse countless lands along the boundless horizon, and all shall know your name!”

Rover: “I want them all.”
Encore: “Ooh, so this is the kind of choice a grown-up would make!”

Rover: “I want neither of them.”
Encore: “That's something the Wooly Warrior would say! Maybe the two of you can team up and adventure together!”
Encore peeks her head out in interest and excitement at Rover’s answer
Encore: “See? Everyone's wishes are different, which also make their journeys unique! And among these people, there's a small adventurer that goes by the name of Wooly Warrior. When asked about her desires, she replies—”
Cosmos (Encore): “I do not seek wealth or honor. Baa.”
Encore: “Fairy Cloudy, greatly puzzled by this reply, goes on to ask—”
Cloudy (Encore): "If you desire neither wealth nor honor, why do you choose to venture to the Gateway of Wishes?”
Cosmos (Encore): "I have but one wish, to be reunited with my family.”
Encore: “Fairy Cloudy nods in approval and offers her guidance to the little warrior.”
Cloudy (Encore): “Very well... then believe in my tale, and close your eyes, Little Warrior and her companions. When you open your eyes, a brand-new adventure shall unfold before you. Once we've completed this story together, your wishes will all be granted!”
The children began to close their eyes in accordance to Encore’s story
Encore, with her arm outstretched, invites Rover to join her on the adventure
Encore: “So, does the Wooly Warrior's companion accept this invitation?”
Rover closes their eyes and accepts Encore’s invitation
