In one of the chambers of the castle the hermit and his son Robin meet. The hermit wonders why Robin looks so distracted when he should be happy and content.
- The castle is ours, the king is imprisoned and he will eventually die, the hermit said with a vicious smile.
Robin feels that this is wrong and has gone too far. The purpose of the rebellion had been to get more skateboard parks in the country, not to harm anyone.
Determined not to show any of his feelings to his father he leaves the chamber and sneaks down to dungeon.
At the same time out in the woods the squirrels have heard rumors that the forest would be turned into one gigantic skateboard park. The squirrels realize that the only way to stop the deforestation is to make friends with Cleo and help her with her task to find an antidote for her father’s allergy. Their fastest climber sets out to find Cleo and to tell her that the squirrels have in their possession one of the ingredients in the antidote. When Cleo learns this from the squirrel, she jumps up on her skateboard, says the magic word “Swoosh” and the skateboard sets off at rocket speed to the home of the squirrels. The king of the squirrels thanks her warmly for coming there and for working for their cause. In return he gives her a nut. The king says that the nut is magical and will help her cure her father. Cleo is overjoyed by the gift, thanks the squirrels, jumps up on the skateboard, says “Swoosh” and is instantly back in the dungeon together with her parents and Coco Pedro.
Coco Pedro points out that they now have the first ingredient in the antidote, the voluntarily given one and that they now lack only the last two.
The second ingredient, the secretly stolen, she will get by solving a riddle “Behind something big and grey, you will find something small and shiny”.
What can that be? Cleo ponders for a long time on the answer to this riddle. It suddenly strikes her that the big and grey must be a troll and all she knows is that a troll lives in a cave in the mountains far up in the north. The small and shiny must be the glowing moss the troll is there to guard.
-It’s always worth a try, she thinks and once again she jumps up on the skateboard. She tells the skateboard to take her to the cave and with a “Swoosh” she is there.
Back in the dungeon Coco Pedro tells Robin that the king is very ill and that Cleo’s skateboard has got magical powers so it can help Cleo to fulfill her task in finding the three ingredients, which are needed to find the antidote for the allergy. Determined to help Cleo in this, he follows the fresh track from Cleo’s skateboard. When he arrives at the cave he sees Cleo being attacked by the troll and he saves her. They realize that the only way they can get hold of the moss is by tricking the troll out of the cave. As a strike of luck Cleo has a can of paint in the back pocket of her trousers from when she last time painted graffiti. She sprays golden paint on a stone, which she then throws away as far as she can. The troll sees this glimmering stone, thinks it’s more moss and runs to fetch it. Cleo and Robin enter the cave, take a piece of the moss and quickly leave the troll’s dwelling. They sigh loudly, look lovingly at each other and smile.
They are now in a hurry to get back to the dungeon because six of the seven days have passed, which was the time limit for the antidote. There in the dungeon the king’s condition is getting worse and worse. The time is ticking to find the last ingredient, the sacrificed, which is needed to save her father, the king.
With the sunrise of the seventh day approaching she is devastated.
-What is to be sacrificed so that the king will live, she sobs? I’ll do anything to help my father. I’ll even be the princess he and my mother want me to be, she cries.
Big tears are running down her cheeks over the nut and the moss which are lying in front of her. When the tears reach the moss it starts to glow even more and suddenly the nut opens. Inside it there is a picture of a princess on a skateboard.
When the first rays of sunshine reach the three ingredients in the antidote, the nut, the moss and the tears, they are transformed into a magical cauldron filled with healing smoke, which Coco Pedro quickly takes to the king.
