ZADIE: "Malik Gets Muddy."

♪

Wow-ee!

Malik, get it! Before it hits the ground!

Whoa!

It's rolling too fast!

Huh, this must be a different part of the Undergroundborhood.

[grunting]

I can't reach it.

The ball is too far down the hole.

If your hands can't reach the ball,

maybe one of us could go down into the hole and get it.

It's way too deep and slippery-looking.

[quietly]: And it's kinda scary-looking.

Scary? Nuh-uh, it looks fun!

Dark and muddy? My kinda place to explore!

There's gotta be something we can use to get the ball.

A ladder? Don't have one.

What about a long......rope?

Nuh-uh.

[groans]: My favorite ball is lost forever.

There must be some way to get it out.

I have an idea!

Let's try the Everything Emporium.

Mr. E must have something we could use.

So now the ball's in the Undergroundborhood...

...and we can't get it out,

'cause it's too deep, dark, and muddy.

Unless you have something that can help us get it out?

Let me get this straight.

You need something that can help you go

into a deep and muddy hole, and then can help you get back out?

Yes.

And that will light things up, correct?

Yes, that's right.

Yeah!

Unfortunately, I don't have anything like that.

[all groan]

[gasps]: Wait!

I have a bright idea.

It's going to be de-light-ful.

Huh, huh?

Okay, I'll be right back.

I don't think a box is going to help us, Mr. E.

Huh, huh?

Sneakers?

Not just any sneakers.

Behold the jumping, bouncing, flipping, gripping, light-up,

non-slipping, explore-anything sneakers.

Made especially for dark and muddy places

like the Undergroundborhood.

[sniffs]

They smell like bubble gum and pancakes.

Yummy.

Ah, yeah, I was working on these sneakers

while making my famous bubblegum pancake recipe.

The sneakers are so special

that they require the person wearing them

to complete three steps to turn them on.

Turn them on?

Yes-- I can show you better than I can tell you.

One of the unique features

of these sneakers is my patented special tread

here on the bottom.

It allows you to walk on slippery, muddy,

or even chocolate-y surfaces.

Ooh! Ooh![clapping]

And you're going to love this-- there are lights

that go around the sneakers.

But here's my favorite feature: jumping springs!

[laughs]: All right!

I can guarantee you no other sneakers have these.

Oh, oh, I wanna try them!

No, me!

I know-- to make it fair, here's what we should do.

We should see who can balance a spoon on their nose the longest

while standing on one foot.

Whoever wins gets to wear the sneakers.

I love a challenge.

Count me out.

Ah, before I select who will get to wear the sneakers,

let me explain their special instructions.

To turn on all the features,

you have to do three steps

in the right order.

[gasps]

Ah... Ah...

Step one:

pull the shoelaces.

Ah... Ah...

Step two: twist the tongues.

Ah... Ah...

Step three: jump.

[sneezes]

In that order-- got it?

Oh, yeah.We got it.

Perfect!

Remember: do all three steps in order

or the sneakers won't work.

Now, who gets to wear them first?

Me!

I'm going to look great

wearing these beautiful sneakers.

♪

Cool.

[grunts]: Whoa...

Ah, too big-- sorry, Zadie.

Oh, no, really?

I guess you get to wear them, JunJun.

You bet!

MR. E: Ah, too small.

Sorry, JunJun-- your turn, Malik.

Uh, they probably won't even fit.

Plus, I'm not even sure I want to wear them.

[steps out of shoes]

[groans]

Yeah. They......fit!

Perfectly!

These shoes were made for you, Malik.Malik!

You are so lucky

you get to go down that dark, muddy, and deep hole.

I don't really feel like going down there.

I don't want to get... muddy.

Huh? I can't hear you.Muddy!

I don't really want to go where it's dark and muddy.

But that means

no going in dark and muddy caves?

[sighs]

It was always a dream of mine that someday you and I

could go explore exciting caves together.

I guess I'll have to send you lots of postcards

so you don't miss out.

I want to explore cool caves with you, too, Zadie.

[sighs]

Okay, I'm going to do it.

Yes!Yes!

Go, Malik!

This is awesome.

♪

Don't forget the instructions.

Remember, Malik must do all three steps in order

or the shoes won't work.

[whimpers]

I can do this! [grunts]

[voice trembling]: I'm inside!

Okay, Malik.

Just one small step over this puddle.

Almost there...

Made it! Whoo-hoo!

That was easy.

Huh, I guess I don't need these sneakers after all.

[yelping]

Uh-oh.

[yelping]

[groans]: I'm sliding around because it's too slippery to walk.

[sighs]: I guess I do need the sneakers.

[calling]: Uh, how do I turn the sneakers on again?

I think Mr. E said something about, um, jumping?

[yelps]

Are you okay, Malik?

No, I'm covered in mud!

And I lost the ball.

Can you see it?

No, it's too far away and too dark.

Huh? Wait, I see something.

Fireflies-- they're lighting up the ball for me.

[yelping]

I did it.

I got the ball.

Whoo-hoo!

[grunts, groans]

Not again.

I really need the extra-grippy tread on these sneakers to work.

Hmm, I wish I could remember how to get the shoes to work.

There was something about twisting.

Maybe that will turn them on.

That didn't work.

I think one of the steps was to pull the laces.

[gasps]: Let me try twisting, then pulling!

I twisted and pulled, but nothing worked.

[sighs]

[calling]: I might be stuck in here

for a really, really long time!

Well, if Malik is stuck in the Undergroundborhood forever,

we'll just have to bring the Treeborhood to him.

You're going to put the Treeborhood underground?

No, I'm going to make sure he has everything he needs.

He'll need his bed, his toys, some pencils, a bathtub...

That seems like a long list.

Maybe use the paper in your pocket

to write it all down so you don't forget.

Look, the instructions!

I found them!

No, I found them.

Okay, we both found them.

Malik!

We have the instructions that Mr. E wrote!

Step one,

pull the shoelaces!

Nothing happened-- are you sure that's right?

Mr. E said you have to do all the steps in order

or the sneakers won't turn on.

Step two!

Twist the tongue!

Done!

Step three!

Jump!

♪

[gasps]: They're working! They're working!

I can see!

Hey, I'm not slipping on the mud anymore!

And I'm bouncing!

[cheers]

Ta-da!

ALL: Yes!

MALIK: I kept thinking the sneakers were broken,

but they weren't.

We just needed to follow all three steps in the right order.

Instructions are there to help us.

If you miss a step, then nothing goes right.

I'm going to have these sneakers made in every size!

[cheering]

[door opens]

Help! Snout just fell down a hole!

Near a tree stump?

Was it dark and muddy?

Yes and yes.

I have just what we'll need.

Let's go get Snout back.

Bye, Zeke!

[giggles]

[grunts]

We win!

Yeah, we did! [grunts]

Buckley, are you okay?

[groans]

Ow-- no, I'm not okay.

I'll get help!

[buzzer sounds]

Oh, someone's hurt at Lake Bellyflop.

WOMBATS: Ellie!

Okay, where does ithurt?

Ow!

Buckley! Auntie Beatriceis here!

What happened?

It seems he sprained his tail.

Let's get you on this, Buckley.

Perfect.

Just keep your tail off the ground

and out of the water for a week and you'll be fine.

BOTH: A week?!

I know, asking a beaver to stay out of water

is like asking a moose to stay out of her blimp.

Where's the dinosaur?

What dinosaur? Where?

You know, the one that went...

[imitates siren]

[chuckles]: Louisa, that was Ellie's alarm.

I love dinosaurs!

There's probably some around here somewhere.

Did you not know that dinosaurs are experts at hide and seek?

But I'm gonna find one.

Oh, come on, Buckley.

Let's get you inside to rest that tail.

WOMBATS: Bye!

I hope Buckley's tail doesn't hurt too much.

We should get him something to help him feel better.

Yes, and I have the perfect idea.

Balloons!Balloons!

Better-- balloon hats.

Or we can make balloon dinosaurs.

Buckley loves dinosaurs.

We can call them "Balloonasaurs."

Yay!Yes!

[pump hisses]

My inflate-o-matic blows up balloons perfectly every time.

Never too full, no unexpected pops.

[giggles]: Remember when pops surprised Zeke so much,

he'd jump in the air?

I never did that!

[balloon pops]Whoa!

[giggles]

Well, looks like you've got this, my little squishes.

I'll be in my office if you need me.

[pump hissing]

Using clothespins was one of my best ideas.

They're so easy to use.

♪

MALIK: My dinosaur's happy because he had pizza for lunch,

his favorite.

Mine's so hungry, it's making him angry, so, he's hangry!

ZEKE: Mine looks like this because

my pen slipped when I drew the mouth.

[giggles]

These will definitely make Buckley feel better.

Come on, Zeke, keep up-- we have to get to Buckley's.

I'm trying.

[sighs]: I can't wait to get bigger.

[air hissing]

Look!

I'm getting bigger!

You're not getting bigger.

Your balloonasaur is getting smaller.

And so are ours.

[air hissing]

[gasps]: The air is leaking out!

Run, or they'll be empty before we get to Buckley.

It's too late, Zeke.

I think the clothespins weren't tight enough,

so they let all the air leak out.

How do we fix this? Thinking positions.

A knot!

Let me try to tie a knot.

Whoa, you're really good at that.

Yeah, it's tighter than a clothespin,

and I don't hear any air leaking out.

We fixed it!

Um, did your pen slip again when you drew the face?

Nope, this is just how he feels.

Happy, but a little sad and kind of confused.

Let's double-check to see if our knots are working.

No leaks-- nothing can stop us

delivering our balloonasaurs to Buckley now.

[wind blowing]

[pops]

[yelps]

Acorns![pops]

[yelps, balloon pops]

[yelps]

Okay, the knots stopped the air from leaking out,

but the acorns popped our balloons.

How do we fix this?

We need a new plan-- maybe giant helmets?

MALIK: Or helicopter hats to knock the acorns away?

ZADIE:We don't have those-- but we do have...

BOTH: Umbrellas!

ZADIE: If an acorn falls off out of the tree,

the umbrellas will protect the dinos

from getting hit and popping.

It's working!

The umbrellas are protecting our dinos

from getting hit by acorns!

Nothing will pop our dinos now.

Except those!

WOMBATS: Pointy horns!

LOUISA: Dinosaurs!

[pops]

[yelps]

[pop]

[both groan]

I thought I saw you with dinosaurs.

Umbrellas will protect balloons from falling acorns,

but with so many pointy things outside,

a balloon doesn't stand a chance.

[sighs]: How do we fix this?

Maybe we don't gooutside.

Grandma, do the tunnels under the Treeborhood

go to Buckley's house?

They do indeed.

The tunnels have no acorns and no pointy things

like tricycles with horns.

They're % safe for balloons.

New plan-- we take the tunnels.

Let's go make Buckley some new dinosaur balloons.

[beeping]

This is the way to the tunnels.

Remember, after you go down the slide,

you just keep going straight until you pass a big fan.

Gotcha.

Then go through the blue door.

That's the last door before you get to the underground river,

then you'll be at Buckley's house.

Straight, fan, blue door, Buckley's house-- got it!

[cheering]

Straight!

Now straight until we get to the big fan.

♪

ZADIE: There's the fan!

Now we need to find the blue door.

My dinosaur feels very safehere.

Isn't that right, Grr?

You named your dinosaur Grr?

Oh, no, he named himself.[giggles]

There's the blue door!

[grunting]

It's stuck.

[all grunting]

I don't see a way to unlock the door.

Can you find a light?

It's broken.

[air blowing]

[grunting]

Hey, our dinosaurs are coming to help.

No, Zeke, they're not...

[gasps]

The fan is blowing them away, come on!

♪

They're going to fall in the river!

Maybe the railing will stop them.

Uh, nope, it didn't.

[Zeke groans]

Our balloons aren't safeoutside

and they're not safe inside, either.

How do we fix this?

We don't have many balloons left.

Maybe we should just give Buckley balloons

that aren't blown up yet.

MALIK: Hm...

Nuh-uh, our gift is dinosaurs, not empty balloons.

True, but maybe Zeke's right.

When we tried delivering balloon dinosaurs,

they lost their air.

ZEKE: Or popped.

ZADIE: Or floated away before we could even get them to Buckley.

How's this for a plan?

We bring these balloons to Buckley before we blow them up,

then make our dinosaurs at his house.

Yeah-- that way, they can't lose their air, pop, or blow away

before we get there.

It's a plan!

[acorns falling]

[all gasp, yelp]

Whew! Phew!

WOMBATS: Hi, Amado, bye, Amado.

Oh, there's a dinosaur around here somewhere.

I can feel it.

[doorbell rings]

Hi, Buckley-- how's your tail?

Getting better,

but it's not much fun being stuck inside resting.

Funny you mention fun-- wait here.

[balloons inflating in distance]

[balloon pops, Zeke yelps]

These balloonasaurs are for you,

to cheer you up since your tail got hurt.

Wow!

How did you make them so fast?

Well, we got lots of practice as we worked it out.

ZEKE: The first dinosaurs we made lost their air.

MALIK: Then we tied the knots tightly,

but acorns popped them.

ZADIE: The next ones we protected with umbrellas,

but the tricycle popped them.

ZEKE: So we went underground instead of outside,

but those dinosaurs disappeared down a river.

They disappeared?

We last saw them floating away

in the river under the Treeborhood.

I wonder where they went.

We may never know.

♪

Dinosaurs, you came!

Mommy, Mama!

Three dinosaurs followed me home-- can I keep them?

I can't wait for all you dinosaurs to meet my stuffies.
