Dragon Tales

Make No Mistake (2x41)

:

Max has a clapping CD and he's playing it obsessively. He's playing it in anticipation of the applause he'll get after performing the lead role at the School in the Sky play. Emmy gets tired of it and turns it off. She says it's time to go to Dragon Land. They get there, where Quetzal is having them do a rehearsal for the play, entitled Paint Your Dragon. Max overhears Wheezie correcting a mistake Zak made in one of his lines and gets nervous. What if he makes a similar mistake? He'll be embarrassed in front of a whole, huge audience. Cassie tells him that it's okay to make a mistake during rehearsal, it's only practice for the real thing and it lets you know what you need to work on. Max, however, gets afraid and vows not to make any mistakes during rehearsal. He makes one anyway and freezes up. When it's time for the next act, Cassie finds him hiding backstage. And then, when it's time for the play, Max is nowhere to be found. The gang searches and searches and finally finds Max atop Mama Mia Portabello, a giant mushroom with an Italian accent. Max explains his fear of making a mistake. Everybody tries to help him. They say that everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Ord says that he makes a lot of mistakes, sometimes they can even be funny. Mama Mia chimes in too - she has a cousin who's a famous movie star and he's always "makin' a mistakes." They manage to convince Max to give the play a chance. At the stage, Cassie points out a mistake to Quetzal. She notices that the mountains in the backdrop are red, aren't they supposed to be the Blue Rock Mountains? Quetzal says that Cassie is right, his mistake, so now they're the Red Rock Mountains! This has a big impact on Max --- Quetzal made a mistake. He goes ahead with the play and ends up making a mistake anyway. He's worried at first, but then Ord makes an even bigger and goofier mistake. Nobody notices and Max realizes that making mistakes isn't something to fear. Back home, Max turns back on his clapping CD. Emmy he
