This is Eleanor. The motherland's youngest trainee. All she wanted was to be
a real fairy godmother. Recite it with me, please. A glittery gown turns out to
prom upside down. I know that I can do this. I¡¯m gonna prove that people still
need fairy godmothers. I'm looking for Mackenzie Walsh. Let's see what we
can find. Siri, search Mackenzie Walsh. Okay. Here's what I found?
Who said that? Is there a genie in there? Don't answer that. I'm looking for
a sad little girl named Mackenzie Walsh. That is me. No, it can't be you,
you're old. Have you seen yourself? Security. Me again. I'm your fairy
godmother. Back off lady. Morning. Oh good! You're awake, too. Is this your
true love? Not anymore. Life isn't always a fairy tale. I came all this way to
help you find your heart's desire. You know what you need, a makeover.
What have you done to my eyebrows. Magic! My house. I know right.
You turn my dog into a pig. This bell got away from me. Oh, it's okay.
He's just here to help with the housework. I know you want to help but life
isn't as simple as happily ever after. Fine, after all nine out of ten fairy tales
begin with once upon a time something amazing happened while she was
drinking wine in her sweatpants. I've been trapped in the fairy tale when the
real world is full of so much more. You're starting to believe in magic,
