00:03 Pinkfong!
00:07 Hmm. I think it was around here.
00:15 ( giggling )
00:16 Oh, I found it!
00:18 Look, Pinkfong. Do you remember what happened?
00:22 Of course I do!
00:24 ( giggling )
00:25 Our friend Rachel, the best singer in Wonderville,
00:28 woke up one day and couldn't write songs anymore.
00:31 Rachel was so sad, and Wonderstar wanted to do
00:34 whatever we could to make Rachel feel better.
00:37 It made us happy to help Rachel.
00:39 ( giggling )
00:40 Do you want to hear Rachel's beautiful new song?
00:43 Come see how we helped inspire Rachel to sing again.

00:56 Hmm, I don't know.
00:58 What do you want to do?
01:00 Uh...
01:01 Hmm.
01:02 Hmm.
01:03 Want to sing a song?
01:05 Okay! I made up a song the other day.

03:30 Wonderstar?
03:32 Rachel?
03:34 I'm here because I need your help.
03:36 Well, you came to the right place.
03:38 'Cause no problem is too big for Wonderstar.
03:42 Or too small.
03:44 Okay, so this is my problem.
03:47 I-- I can't write songs anymore.
03:51 What? You can't write songs?
03:54 I used to be able to write such beautiful songs.
03:57 But now I just can't.
04:00 Don't worry. We'll help you.
04:02 You will?
04:03 Ta-da!
04:05 Once you hear me playing, songs will come flowing out of you.

04:21 ( giggling )
04:23 Thanks, Ping Pong.
04:25 But I work better with my guitar.
04:27 Really? Are you sure?
04:30 ( gasps )
04:32 Yeah.
04:34 My problem's with the lyrics.
04:36 I can come up with the melody, no problem.
04:39 But when I try to write the lyrics, my mind goes blank.
04:43 Hmm.
04:44 Maybe it will help if you try to relax
04:47 and think about the times you were happy.
04:49 Huh?
04:50 Think about the times when I was happy.
04:53 Oh, ho!
04:55 I have the perfect inspiration.
04:58 I'll sing you the song I made up the other day.

05:32 Are you inspired to write lyrics now?
05:35 Uh, yeah, I guess.
05:38 ( giggling )
05:41 ( sighs )
05:48 Nope, I can't think of anything.
05:51 I guess I've lost my talent.
05:53 Don't say that, Rachel.
05:55 Remember, you wrote so many pretty songs before.
05:59 I know, but now I'm just not sure I can do it anymore.
06:05 I think Rachel needs someone who can help write.
06:08 Yeah, someone who lives and breathes poetry.
06:12 Right.
06:14 Rachel, why not work with a partner?
06:17 You can create lyrics together.
06:20 But I've always created songs on my own.
06:23 Just trust us, Rachel.
06:26 Hello, Wonderstar.
