♪ Come on in ♪

♪ Now you're here ♪

♪ So let's begin ♪

Hi there! You're just in time.

Come on in!

Today...

What's that smell?

It smells like... strawberries!

It's you!

Tell me. Did you have strawberry
jam toast this morning,

'cause you smell like
strawberries.

Or maybe you smell this good
all the time?

Well, today, Grandma Flutter

is taking everybody to a Square
Dance in the valley.

Bear! Come on! We're going!

Yeah, Bear! Come on!

Leaving soon!

Hey! Sounds like
everybody's ready to go.

Let's go say goodbye to them.
Come on!

This is going to be so great!

I've never been to a square
dance!

I wish I had chaps, though.

Hey! Hey, anybody know,
what is a square dance, anyway?

Hey everybody!

Hey, Bear!

-So, all ready to go?
-Yeah!

Now, Bear, are you sure
you don't want to come with us?

It's not too late to change
your mind!

Yeah, Bear! Come with us!

Thanks, everybody,

but I really wanna get
a lot of stuff done around

the Big Blue House today.

But, you're gonna have
a good time, even without me,

and I'll be right here when you
get back!

Okay, Bear, but we'll miss you!
We really will!

-Yeah. We'll miss you, Bear.
-Yeah.

It won't be the same without
you, Bear.

I don't want to go!

Ojo. Ojo, it's okay.

You're gonna have a great time.
Square dancing is a lot of fun.

Reeaally?

And you can tell me
all about it when you get back,

because I'm gonna be right here.

Okay! Bye, Bear!

Alright! Let's get going!

Bye, Bear! See ya!

Bye everybody!

You have a good time

at the Square Dance. See ya
later!

They're going to have a great
time!

Even if they do miss me a
little bit.

Yeah. Missing.

Missing.

When you're away from
the people you care about,

you miss them.

That means you wish
that they were with you.

And there are lots of ways
you show people you miss them.

Like, for example,

you could write them
a postcard...

Or a letter...

Or you could even call
them on the telephone...

Or you could give them a big
ol' hug when they get back.

And the good thing about
missing someone

is that it makes you think
how great that person is

and how happy you are you know
them.

But what do you think?

What ways do you know

to show someone you've missed
them?

What do you think?

Write them a letter.

Call them.

Mail presents to them and
letters.

I miss my dad when
he stays at work a lot.

I miss my Grandpa.

I miss my Grandma.

I miss my three second cousins.

Sometimes, you just feel like
you wanna see them

and you can't wait to see them.

Cause they live so far away

and I don't get
to see them a lot.

I feel sad when I miss somebody.

Wow. You sure know a lot of ways

to show someone
you've missed them!

Hey.

Do you hear that?

Listen...

It's so quiet!

Wow! It's kind of strange

not having everybody around
today,

but I am going to get so much
done!

Now, let's see, what should I
do first?

I know!
I'll work on my photo album.

Come on!

There.

Hey. Take a look at this
picture...

See? It's Treelo's baby picture!

He was such a cute little baby

and and he's so big now.

I wonder what that
Lemur's doing right now?

What am I saying?

He's at the Square
Dance with everybody else.

Silly me.

Yep. There's nothing
like a nice, quiet day

to get things done.

Now, Let's see... What should
we do next?

I know... why don't we tidy up!

Hey,

Snowbear! What are you doing on
the floor?

I'm sure you'd be happier
on the bed, wouldn't you?

Or maybe, talcing a trip
to Ojo Island with Ojo!

The sand, the sun, the surf!

Hey, do you remember the time
Ojo had a nightmare?

Oh, Bear it was scary.

I was in the forest,

and it was really, really dark,
and everyone was gone!

You too, Bear!

And there was a monster.

Is he still here?
Is he still here?

Ojo, it's okay, it's okay.
You just had a nightmare.

A nightmare?

A nightmare is
a really bad dream

that makes you feel afraid.

Have you ever had a nightmare?

But bad dreams aren't real,
right, Bear?

No, they're not.

And there's no such thing
as monsters.

Will the bad dream come back?

Cause... Well...
I really don't want it to.

Oh, bear!

♪ Every time I go to bed
these monster come around ♪

♪ With their scary faces
making lots of scary sounds ♪

♪ I know they're
only in my mind ♪

♪ But it really isn't fair ♪

♪ 'Cause they're such big,
scary monsters ♪

♪ And I'm just a little bear ♪

Ojo, when monsters come
into your head at night,

you just have to send them on
their way.

-What do you mean, Bear?
-Well...

♪ Whenever I can't sleep ♪

♪ I think of things
I'd like to do ♪

♪ Like talking
to the moon at night ♪

♪ Or playing my kazoo ♪

♪ I dream about tomorrow
Or about what I did today ♪

♪ And pretty soon
Those monsters go away ♪

-Really?
-Really.

♪ Go to bed, sleepy head ♪

♪ Dream of stories
that you've read ♪

♪ And think of all the things
you'd like to do ♪

I don't know, bear.

♪ Just go to bed,
you sleepy head ♪

♪ Your dreams
will watch over you ♪

♪ Well, I'll give it a try ♪

♪ Hey! I'll think of swimming
in a lake, ♪

♪ Or wishing on a star ♪

♪ Or splashing through the mud
or eating honey by the jar ♪

♪ So listen up, you monsters,
don't you come into my mind ♪

♪ This little bear
is now the dreamin' kind ♪

♪ So go to bed, sleepy head♪

♪ Dream of stories
that you've read ♪

♪ I'll think of all the things
I'd like to do ♪

♪ Just go to bed,
you sleepy head ♪

♪ Your dream
will watch over you ♪

♪ Your dream will watch... ♪

Ojo?

♪ Over you ♪

Yeah. That Ojo...

She is one great
little bear cub, isn't she?

So, Snowbear, don't you worry.

Ojo will be back to play
with you very soon.

Actually, when are they coming
back?

I've got to say, I'm not used

to the Big Blue House being
this quiet.

But, there's still more time
to do more things.

So let's see. What should I do
next?

I know. I'll write a letter
to my friend, Ursa!

Come on!

Now let's see.

What should we write to Ursa?

I know!

"Dear Ursa,"

Dear Ursa...

Hey,

do you remember the time Tutter
was trying to write a letter

to his Grandma Flutter?

I'll never forget it.

We were right here in the
kitchen

and Tutter was trying
to think of what to say...

What do you want to say
to your Grandma Flutter?

Well, I...

There's so much
I want to say, Bear.

So very much.

I hardly know where to start.

But, how about...
Dear Grandma...

♪ Thank you for mending
the holes in my clothes ♪

♪ For making me waffles,
for wiping my nose ♪

♪ For sewing me
warm winter booties ♪

♪ To cover my toes ♪

♪ Thanks for the chocolate cakes
covered with cheese ♪

♪ For teaching me how
to say thanks in Chinese ♪

♪ For buying me
supermouse band-aids ♪

♪ To cover my knees ♪

♪ You want to say all that? ♪

♪ This piece of paper's
too small ♪

Oh Gee! You're right, Bear!

How about:

♪ Dear grandma Flutter,
love Tutter ♪

♪ I guess that says it all ♪

♪ You taught me to squeak
and to scurry and crawl ♪

♪ You taught me to gnaw
my way right through a wall ♪

♪ You showed me the best way
to slam-dunk a basketball ♪

Really?

♪ Oh granny! ♪

♪ There's so much to say
wanna sing, wanna shout ♪

♪ I just hope I'm not
leaving anything out ♪

♪ Me too! ♪

♪ But I know that you know
just what I am talking about ♪

Why not just give her a call? ♪

No, Bear! I don't need to!

♪ Dear grandma Flutter,

♪ You know that says it all ♪

♪ Dear grandma Flutter,
love Tutter ♪

♪ I guess that says it all ♪

Boy! Tutter sure loves
his grandma Flutter, huh?

Gee, I really miss Tutter.

And... everyone.

But they've only been gone
a little while!

Has that ever happened to you?

Have you ever missed somebody
as soon as they've gone?

Did you hear that?

That sounds like Shadow's laugh!

Oh! It's so good to hear her.
Come on! Let's go find her!

Shadow!

Shadow, are you here?

I can't wait to see her,
can you?

I wonder where she's hiding.

Hey. I know.

Let's sing her song! Okay?

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where can Shadow be? ♪

Shadow!

Hey, you big ol' Bear!
I'm over here!

Shadow! Thank, goodness!

I mean, hey, Shadow.
It's great to see you today.

Well, it's nice to see you too,
Bear. I missed you.

You did? Wow.

I'm kind of missing
everybody else today, too.

Hey, I was wondering,

do you have a story
for us today?

Of course, Bear!

I've always got a story for you.

And today, I've got one
you wouldn't want to miss!

Just watch.

Yes it is!

That miner really loved his
daughter.

Yes. Yes, he did. He did,
indeed, Shadow. He did.

Hey! I know!
How about another story?

-Another story?
-Yes. Just watch!

Well, I'd love to, Bear,

but I'm supposed to go swimming
with the shadows at the pond.

Well...

Okay, Shadow. You go ahead.

Bear? Is everything alright?

Well, everything's fine, Shadow.

It's just that everybody else
went square dancing

in the valley.

That sounds like fun!

Well, I must be off! Bye, Bear!

Bye, Shadow!

Gee.

For a day when I was
supposed to get a lot done,

I'm really not getting much
done at all.

Well...

Hey! I know. Why don't we talk
a walk down by the Otter Pond?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There is nothing
like fresh air...

Hey!

Two balloons.

You know? I bet these balloons
belong to Pip and Pop.

Those Otters.

They sure do love
to play together, don't they?

In fact, they love
a lot of stuff together.

"We love everything."

You know, I will never forget

the time they even sang
about it!

We were here in the living
room and they started singing...

I am so lucky to have

Yeah. And you know what?

I don't mind thinking
about them, or missing them,

because I love them!

Hey, do you hear that?

It sounds like...

Could it be?

It is! It is! They're back!
They're back!

Bear!

-Hi, bear!
-Hi!

Hi, everybody!
Oh, I missed you all so much.

-It's good to see you, Bear!
-We missed you, too, Bear.

So, how was the square dance?

It was wonderful, Bear.

Really, Grandma Flutter?
That's great!

Fun square dancing! Yeah!

Yeah. It was so great, Bear!

Hey, Bear, watch this!

♪ Round your partner doe si doe
Dance on down and away we go! ♪

That's great, you guys!

Bear, I still don't understand
something.

What exactly is a "doe si doe"?

Tutter, that is a mystery
I don't think anyone solved.

Oh, boy.
Bear, square dancing was fun,

but it would have been
even better

if you had been there with us.

Yeah, Bear.

We kept thinking
about you the whole time!

-Yeah.
-We really missed you, Bear.

It's true, Bear, they talked
about you the whole time.

Did you miss us, too, Bear?
Even a little bit?

Yeah, Bear, did you?

Well...

Yeah,
I really did miss all of you.

Didn't I?

So, tell me more
about this square dance!

Well, I liked the one where
you swung around in a circle!

It made us sort of dizzy!
We liked it!

What a day, huh?

I'm so glad everybody's back!

And I can't wait to tell Luna
all about it. Come on!

There she is! Hello, Luna!

Hello, Bear.

How was your day
in the Big Blue House?

Well, Luna, it was great.

Everyone went to a square dance
with Grandma Flutter...

Oh. A square dance! How grand!

Yeah.

And I stayed at home because...

Well... I had a lot of stuff
I wanted to get done.

But you know,

I just kept thinking
about my friends all day.

I really missed them!

Why, I'll bet
they missed you too, Bear.

Yeah. I think they did.

Well, you're very lucky
to have so many good friends.

That's for sure.

You know, Bear,

I've always thought
that when you miss someone,

it's because they're important
to you and you care about them.

That's true.

Hey, I bet you guys out there

have a lot of people
who are important to you too.

Your mom,
your dad, your friends,

your brothers and sisters...

There are so many wonderful
people in the world.

Well, Luna, I think it's that
time again!

I think you're right, Bear.

Would you sing the "Goodbye
Song" with me?

I would love to, Luna!

to miss you!
