00:00It was the summer holidays, and little Alexa was at her grandmother's house.

00:14Is my little angel hungry?

00:16No, I don't want anything. Why did my parents take me with them?

00:22Honey, it's a business trip. They will be busy. Besides, grandma is here with you.

00:29I don't like you.

00:31Well, I like you. In fact, I love you. Tell you what, how about these toys that I got for you?

00:40No, I don't want these silly toys.

00:44You sure? How about Mr. Pilot?

00:47No!

00:49And saying that, Alexa grabbed the bag from her grandmother and rushed inside her room.

00:56Through all the toys outside the window, the old woman was taken aback.

01:01But you know how grandmothers are. They will do anything to make their grandchildren happy.

01:08Taking a square sheet of pink paper, she began to make folds.

01:13Alexa watched in awe as her grandmother used different colored papers.

01:19She folded them, creased them, and unfolded them.

01:24And within minutes, a beautiful origami princess was made.

01:29Who is she?

01:31She is a princess. You can give her a name.

01:35The paper princess?

01:38Oh, very nice. And here is her magic hat.

01:43A magic hat?

01:45Yes, when she puts the hat on her head, she can do magic.

01:51Fine, it better work.

01:54That night, Alexa's grandmother tucked her in bed and then went to sleep.

02:00It had been a long day for her, and the old woman was tired.

02:07Good night, love.

02:15Come on, paper princess. Show me your magic.

02:20Come on, you have the hat on. Do some magic.

02:25You are just a silly toy that grandma made. I don't like you either.

02:33And I don't need you.

02:41As the moon came out from behind the clouds, its milky light fell on the paper princess, and...

02:52Moonlight! Moonlight! I better hurry.

02:56Oh, who are you?

02:58Wow, I thought you'd never ask.

03:01Hi, NC. Can you please help me reach the window?

03:04Ask me, what do you need?

03:08Thank you, kind sir. I better run.

03:11Wow, that's right.

03:13Okay, now all I need to do is get my hat, without waking up the girl, and get out of here.

03:22There it is.

03:23The paper princess ran towards her paper hat, but just as she was about to get it...

03:30You want the magic hat?

03:34The paper princess tried to run, but she was too little to cover the ground, and Alexa simply picked her up.

03:42Hey, let me go!

03:44Not so easily. You are my toy, remember?

03:49You threw me away.

03:51Um, yeah, so? My toy, my wish.

03:57You are a mean, mean girl.

04:00Tell me something new.

04:02Please, please let me go. You, you don't understand what's at stake here.

04:09Yeah, right.

04:12No, no, no, no, no. Please listen to me.

04:17If I don't reach the floating palace before sunrise, the pink witch will destroy my kingdom.

04:22The pink witch?

04:24Yes. You see, I am a real princess.

04:29The pink witch used a spell on me, and turned me into a tree.

04:33I thought my life was over, until one day, when an old hermitess stopped suddenly and looked at me.

04:41Why are you crying, tree?

04:43You, you can hear me?

04:45Yes.

04:46I told her everything. Once I turn 25, my father will make the witch, who is supposed to be the queen,

04:54and then he will hand over the golden sphere of magic to her. With it, she can cause great destruction.

05:01The pink witch is powerful, that I know, and so is the spell. I can't reverse it, but I can put another spell over it.

05:12Hocus-pocus, tides and locusts, through the curse of nature and technology, you will take another form.

05:22An origami princess you will become, and when the moon graces you with its light, you will rise.

05:30Put on a magic hat and fly, to the world where the palace floats, for it is there that the evil witch keeps her heart.

05:40Put your magic hat over her heart, and it will dissipate into the air.

05:46That will be the end of the witch and her curse.

05:50But remember, the world of the floating palace is full of difficulties, and you must find the heart,

05:59and finish it before sunrise, else that will be the end of you.

06:06Follow the moon, and it will guide you to the floating palace.

06:11So you see, the next morning, a wind uprooted me, and I ended up being carried to a paper factory.

06:19And here I am, now please let me go. Alexa thought for a while, and then said,

06:28Fine, but I am coming with you.

06:31What? No, it is very dangerous. Ugh, fine.

06:37Yes, adventure time, let's go.

06:41Um, my hat.

06:43No foul play, promise?

06:46Promise.

06:47Alexa gave the hat to the paper princess, and as soon as she put it on her head, golden glitters emanated from her body.

06:55Wow.

06:57Come, let's go.

07:01Do you even know where the palace is?

07:04Let's keep moving, hurry up.

07:11Wow, that was, whoa.

07:14Follow me, okay? Hocus pocus, tides and locusts.

07:19The paper princess jumped into the water, and at once turned into a fish.

07:25At that moment, a strong wind began to blow, and a storm was imminent.

07:34Come on, hurry up.

07:38I am trying.

07:40Somehow, Alexa made it to the shore, and after jumping out of the boat, she made a run.

07:47Behind them, the mighty wave crashed against the rocks, creating an earthquake.

07:55Ah, wait for me.

07:58The paper princess, realizing that Alexa will not make it, turned into a crane, and grabbed Alexa by her dress, and pulled her up into the air.

08:09Below, the raging water swallowed the rocks entirely.

08:15Phew, that was close.

08:19You are welcome, let's keep moving.

08:22Wait, tell me, if you can turn into anything, then why not turn into a dragon and fly directly there?

08:32Simple, I have never seen a dragon, so I can't relate to it.

08:36Uh oh, speak of the devil.

08:41Well, now you've seen one.

08:44At once, the paper princess turned into a mighty dragon, twice the size of the other dragon.

08:51She roared in all her fury.

08:54Whoa!

08:56The other dragon turned around, and flew away in fear, never to return again.

09:03After having walked across the jungle, they reached another mighty sea.

09:09Across the sea, there is the floating palace, but there is no way we can cross the raging sea.

09:16The currents are too strong, and it's raining heavily.

09:20What do we do now?

09:22Do not fear when Mr. Pilot is here.

09:25Mr. Pilot? My toy?

09:29I brought them here, in case we needed help.

09:32So?

09:33And at that moment, all of Alexa's toys came forward.

09:38Whoa!

09:40Never throw things away, even if it is a toy. You never know when you need them.

09:45It had been a long day for her.

09:47Alexa thought for a while.

09:49Mr. Pilot, take us to the floating palace.

09:52Do not fear when Mr. Pilot is here.

09:55And we will follow you as your army.

09:57Great! Let's go!

09:59Off they went in the helicopter, through the mighty storm.

10:11The enemy is coming!

10:13Attack!

10:15As the two armies collided, the paper princess and Alexa made their way to the palace.

10:24As the door opened, they saw a giant with long protruding teeth dash towards them.

10:30The giant attacked the paper princess, but Alexa came in between and took the hit.

10:37Alexa, no!

10:40Alexa, what did you do?

10:43I'm sorry. I should have been a better person.

10:48With that, Alexa closed her eyes.

10:51The paper princess smiled.

10:53Next, she felt the heart of a pink witch in a hidden vessel.

10:57She put her head over it, and at once, it dissipated into the air.

11:04And as it did, the paper princess turned into a beautiful-looking maiden.

11:10One that she was before the curse, Princess Zina.

11:14Thank you, Alexa. You have been a dear friend.

11:17When the sun rose the next day, Alexa woke up in her bed surprised.

11:23What? When did I? How did I? Was it all a dream?

11:29Alexa!

11:31Oh, honey, you're up.

11:33Alexa at once rushed to her grandma and hugged her tight.

11:37Oh, grandma, I'm so sorry. I've been mean to you and my parents, and I threw my toys away.

11:46Oh, why say sorry when you brought your toys back?

11:50What do you mean?

11:52Your toys, they are in the living room.

11:55Your toys, they are in the living room.

11:58What?

11:59Alexa at once ran to the living room, and to her surprise, saw all her toys kept neatly.

12:06And amidst all the toys, there she was, her paper princess.

12:11Thank you! Thank you so much!

12:15From across the room, her grandma watched and smiled.

12:19You know why?

12:21Because she was the hermitess that set princess Zana free and taught her grandchild a lesson.
