Down at Fraggle Rock.

What on earth?

What's wrong, Sprocket?
This isn't you at all.

A Doberman pinscher.

You were pretending to be a
ferociousand terrifying animal.

Wait. I've got it.

This is for Ms.
Ardath'smasquerade ball, right?

You wanna go as a
different kind of dog?

That's an interesting idea.

However, I think you'll find

you'retemperamentally
unsuited to be a Doberman.

Me? Well, I thought I'd
goas a defensive linebacker.

Hey, pup dog.

How's about we go outand
toss the old pigskin around?

Then maybe we'll lift some
weightsand then run a few miles. Hey?

You mean it wasn't
evena little bit believable?

"And then did the
mighty Princess

Gwenelotfling open
her cloak of invisibility

and reveal herself
in all her glory."

Red, what are you doing?

Sorry, Gobo. I was
just being invisible.

Are you still readingthose
adventure books

about Princess Gwene-whosis?

"Lot." Gwenelot.

I've read all 37of the
Elder Clan Adventures,

including Gwenelot
and the Blue Dragon.

Not my taste in fiction.

No, you like those dumb
postcardsyour Uncle Matt writes.

Uncle Matt's cards
are not fiction.

They're history, knowledge, wisdom.
They're history, knowledge, wisdom.

Fantasies, silliness, rubbish.

I'll ignore that completely.

Now listen, I'm expecting Uncle
Matt homefrom Outer Space today.

-Have you seen him?-Nope.

Maybe he's coming
throughthe other entrance.

Other entrance?

What other entrance?

Oh, well.

"Then towards the other
entranceof the dragon's lair

crept the beauteous Gwenelot,
waiting for her chance."

Red, what are you doing?

Sorry, Uncle Matt. I
was just playing around.

Yes, yes, I suppose you little
Fragglesdo like to play around.

And I suppose what you
dois big serious work, huh?

-Absolutely. I'm glad you
appreciate it.-Oh, brother.

Courage in the face of danger. It's
become a kind of trademark for me.

I bet it's not all that
dangerousin Outer Space.

I bet any Fraggle
could go out there.

- I dare you.-What?
- I dare you.-What?

-Double dare.-Uh-huh?

Why, you couldn't even
get pastthe furry creature.

-I could too.-Go on.

Okay.

Long live the Elder Clan.

Okay. Let's hear your
imitationof a timber wolf.

Oh, no, help!

Oh, darn.

Don't talk to me. I'm invisible.

Don't let it worry you.

Little Fraggles such as you are
not meantfor these brave deeds.

Speaking of brave, have
you seen my nephew Gobo?

Oh, brother.

Gobo went to look for
youat the other entrance.

What's the other
entrance, Uncle Matt?

Actually, there are many
entrancesto Outer Space.

They're all in this special roomcalled
the T. Matthew Fraggle Room.

The T. Matthew Fraggle Room?

-I named it myself.-No kidding.

I discovered it.
I discovered it.

-You made it up.-Nonsense.

I think I will go there now. I can fit
inone more brush with danger before lunch.

He burns me up! He really does!

I wonder about these other
entrancesand this room.

The entranceto the T.
Matthew Fraggle Room.

What's down there?

Wow!

Look at this place.

There must be a jillion tunnels.

What wonders will
I find here today?

The trouble is,

all of these passageways
tend to look...

alike.

And I can never tell
exactlywhere I've been...

and where I'm going.

So what else is new?

The joy of the unknown.

I don't believe it.

It looked like all you have to
dois touch one of these arches

and, whoosh, Outer Space.

I'd love to.

Red Fraggle, why are
youalways waiting for me?

Do all of these arches
leadto Outer Space?

Oh, yes, they do.
Horrible, frightening places.

Where did you go?

Well, I went to a
hideous, terrifying place

called the Mother
FluffyTeddy Bear Company.

That's just all make-believe.

Look who's talking, little
Princess Gwene-whosits.

Now you stay away
from those arches.

Outer Space can be dangerous.

"Outer Space can be dangerous."

I wish I knew what was
reallydown these passageways.

Princess Gwenelot
would find out.

She would draw her
cloakof invisibility around her

and she would sally forth.

No! I didn't mean to touch it!

Is this Outer Space?
Is this Outer Space?

It doesn't look likeanything
Uncle Matt's talked about.

Where's the Silly Creature?

And the hairy monster?

I think Uncle Matt's been
keepingthis place to himself.

Golden apples. Beautiful!

What's Uncle Matt talking about?

There's nothingto be
scared of around here.

Masquerade ba*ls are more
troublethan they're worth.

I can't get the hangof
this football uniform at all.

Maybe I should have made
stiltsand gone as a basketball player.

How about you, Sprocket?

Have you decidedwhat
animal you're going as?

That's very ingenious, Sprocket.

But aren't you a little
smallfor an elephant?

Uncle Matt must be braver than I thoughtif
this is what he goes through every day.

See this rock? Go fetch!

I'm back.

I'm alive.

I've been to Outer Space.

I'd better mark this
archso I can find it again.

I know, I'll use my amulet.

Let's see.

Oh, no. No, I can't
touch the arch.

I'll put it on the floor. There.

Now to tell Uncle
Matt. Wait till he hears!

That was some good lunch, Mokey.

Thanks. Uncle Matt seems
to have enjoyed it too.

-Uncle Matt!-Oh, yeah.

Uncle Matt! Uncle Matt!

I did it!

Did what?

I went into Outer Space.

-You did?-When?

-Just now.-I doubt
that very much.

It was terrifying,
but I did it anyway.

I was brave enough to go into Outer
Spaceand brave enough to get back.

-Then you had an
adventure.-I'll say.

At first, I came tothis
incredibly beautiful place.

And there was a tree
hungwith golden apples.

Golden apples.

Yeah. And then...

out leapt this
terrible blue dragon.

It howled and blew
clouds of smoke.

I leapt back. It advanced.
I hid behind a rock.

Now I see. You were play-acting.

Of course.

-How imaginative, Red.-What?

You're being Princess
Gwene-thingy.

I am not!

I mean, it was really
like my Gwenelot books,

but it was really, really
therein Outer Space.

But it was really, really
therein Outer Space.

Nephew Gobo, who is the
rock'sleading authority on Outer Space?

-Why, you are,
Uncle Matt.-Yes, yes.

And have I ever told you thatthere
were dragons in Outer Space?

Nope. Never.

I don't care about
that. I saw a dragon!

Red, Red, Red.

I'm glad you're having
funwith this play-acting.

It's what you should dowhen
you're a teensy-weensy Fraggle.

And now I shall
return to Outer Space.

And when I come back,
I will come with proof.

What got into her?

Well, perhaps I will follow.

-Just to keep her
out of trouble.-Yeah.

Besides, you can't get
any sleeparound here.

Gobo, can Red really
go into Outer Space?

I don't think so.

Uncle Matt, wait.
I'll go with you.

Now, where is that arch
I markedwith the amulet?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Now to find some prooffor
that dumb old Uncle Matt.

I don't see Red here.

Perhaps she has actually
goneinto Outer Space.

I'll go see.

-But, Uncle Matt...-What?

There's about a jillion
tunnelsshe could have gone down.

Well, yes, but
perhaps I'll get lucky.

-Care to join?-Well...

No, thanks.

As you wish.

Why did I say that?

Why didn't I have
the courage to go?

'Cause the one time I went, it
was really scary. That's why.

If I bring backone of
these golden apples,

they'll have to believe me.

Thank goodness that
dragon isn't around.

Shouldn't be hard.

All I have to dois touch
that arch and follow Matt.

I would like to
know where he went.

I would like to knowwhere
that Red Fraggle went.

Red, are you here? Red?

Red?

I'll ask this Silly Creature.

Excuse me. Perhaps
you can help me.

A friend of mine has been telling
mea story about a blue dragon.

Do you know
where I could find it?

Thank you very much.

Red, are you in there?

I'm gonna do it. I'm
going into Outer Space.

Now let's see.

Was it that one that
Uncle Matt touched,

or was it this one?

Too late!

Where am I?

I don't believe it.

Hey, Sprocket. Ned
Shimmelfinney loved my costume.

And he had one perfect addition.

Come on and have a look.

Wherever my uncle Matt is, I
hope it's less terrifying than this.

I did it!

It was scary, but I did it.

Uncle Matt. I did it. I
followed you into Outer Space.

I didn't see you.

-Did you see Red?-No,
but I saw a monster.

Well, one often finds
monstersin Outer Space,

not like Red's little
make-believe dragon.

Go away!

There goes the apple. No!

Great greasy green Gorgs!

Oh, no! That means there's a
dragon loosein Fraggle Rock!

Stop!

Hey, wait a minute. I'm supposedto
be afraid of you, remember?

Hey, wait a minute. I'm supposedto
be afraid of you, remember?

Wait! You're proof!

If I show you to Uncle Matt, he'll
believe I've been in Outer Space.

Come here.

No, no. Come back!

I'll show you the way
homeafter Uncle Matt sees you.

I've looked everywherefor
that little red-headed Fraggle.

Where can she be?

Where is that Red?

There's her amulet.

She shouldn't leave
thislying around on the ground.

I'll put it where
she can find it.

No!

Uncle Matt?

Uncle Matt, I didn't find Red. Did you?
Uncle Matt, I didn't find Red. Did you?

Where's Uncle Matt?

Where is Red Fraggle?

Where is that dragon?

Now I've lost everybody.

It's the place Red described.

Except that it's very peaceful.

There's no dragon here.

She probably made that part up.

Amateur explorers
sometimes do that.

I think I'll take a nap.

Maybe that dragon has found his
way hometo Outer Space. I'll check.

Now, where's that amulet?

What? Oh, no!

The amulet's gone too!

Hey, Sprocket.

Say, you're getting very
goodat this elephant business.

I just spoke to Ned
Shimmelfinneyon the phone,

and I told him you were
goingto the masquerade ball.

He said so is
his cat Fluffinella.

But I say, what kind of a dumb
costumewould a cat come up with?

Fluffinella?

Come on, Sprocket. I'll help
you make a new costume.

This Outer Space
business is tough.

I'll never laugh at
Uncle Matt again.

What a lovely,
quiet spot that was.

I feel quite refreshed.

Red's amulet.

I'd better just put it
backwhere I found it.

There.

Now, which way is home?

-Gobo, there is a
dragon.-Where is a dragon?

-I don't know where.-Well,
then maybe there isn't a dragon.

There is, and that's whyl
have to find Uncle Matt.

-Uncle Matt?-Where
is Uncle Matt?

I don't know where
Uncle Matt is.

Maybe he went down here.

The dragon's gone. Uncle
Matt is gone. The amulet's gone.

I wish I were gone!

Used to think I was stable

I used to think I was very calm

Earth was flat as a table

I kept my life on
a string in my palm

Now I'm falling through highlights
Now I'm falling through highlights

Nothing coming to catch my fall

What I'm talking 'bout my life

The people don't know at all

Now I'm just upside-down,
inside outFalling down, turnabout

What I mean, where I've
beenPeople don't know

I'm on the ground, in the
airRound and round, everywhere

Who I am in the jam,
people don't know

I'm upside-down, inside
outFalling down, turnabout

What I mean, where I've
been People don't know

Now, where did Gobo go?

Yep, nothing's changed.

No Matt. No dragon. No amulet.

You mean that amulet?

-But... But... Excuse me.

I've got to keep lookingfor
my uncle Traveling Matt.

Uncle Matt! Uncle Matt!

Where have you been?

Oh, no, you don't.
No, no. Stay, stay!

You're staying right here untill
can show you as proof to Uncle Matt.

Listen. I'm sorry. I
don't mean to scare you.

As soon as Uncle Matt
sees you, you can go home.

You see, I marked the
entrancewith that amulet over there.

So when Uncle Matt
gets back... No! No!

Oh, no!

Wait! Wait a minute.

Why, hello, Red Fraggle!

Uncle Matt, Gobo. Boy,
am I glad to see you guys!

I know, I know. You just want to tell
usmore about your imaginary dragon.

Gobo Fraggle, I
can prove he exists.

I can take you
there and show you.

Uncle Matt, come here.
I want you to hear this.

Very well. By the
way, this is your amulet.

You moved the amulet?

Well, you left it overby
one of those tunnels there.

But... But... Now I can't
prove I've been to the land

where the blue dragon
guardsthe golden apples.

I believe you.

-You do?-Been there myself.

Didn't see the dragon, but
the golden apples are lovely.

See?

Congratulations, Red.

Now all three of us
have beenin Outer Space.

Yeah! But you
can have the place.

Uncle Matt, all this timel
thought you were kidding

with these wild stories of Outer
Space, but I've learned a lot.

You are one brave Fraggle.

Why, Red, you've noticed.

I don't believe it. Uncle Matt
and Red have made friends?

-Now just between us
friends, Red...-Yeah?

You did make upthe part
about the dragon, right?

What? I did not.
It was really there!

Well, maybe
they've made friends.

What a great party, Sprocket.

It's fun dressing upand
pretending to be someone else.

And people believed thatl really
had played football in college.

And you went as a toy poodle.

Well, now you know what
it meansto be a poodle.

You've learned what it's liketo
walk in another dog's moccasins.

I wonder why Fluffinella
didn't goin her dragon costume.

When she showed
up as a toy poodle too,

well, we knew we
were infor a noisy night.

Sprocket, why don't you
pretendyou have laryngitis?
