Hi there!
It is so good to see you!

I was wondering when you
were going to get here.

Come on in!

Well today is a very exciting
day here at the Big Blue House.

Ojo is getting
a special visitor.

It's...

[sniffing]

Wait a second!
What's that smell?

It smells like... [sniffing]

...honeydew melon!

[sniffing]

Hmm? [sniffing]

[gasp] It's you!

Ooo. Tell me, did you have
honeydew melon for breakfast?

'Cause you smell all
sweet and dewy!

Honeydewy! [chuckles]

[sniffing] Aah!

Or maybe you
smell this good all the -

-Bear! Bear!
-...time?

-Bear!
-Oh.

-Hey, Ojo!
-Oh, oh, oh, oh. Bear!

Who is it? Who's at the door?

Is it Christine?

Is it? Is it?
Is it? Is it? Is it Christine?

Oh. Sorry, Ojo.
Christine hasn't come yet.

Oh.

That's Ojo's special
visitor today.

And you're really looking
forward

to Christine coming over,
aren't you, Ojo?

Oh, yeah, Bear.
Christine's great!

We're friends.
Along with you, Bear,

and then there's Tutter,
and Treelo...

[chuckles]...
and Pip and Pop, of course!

-Of course.
-[doorbell ringing]

Oh, oh. Oh.
That must be her-her-her now.

-Hurry, Bear! Hurry!
-Okay. Okay.

Come on. Let's go open the door!

Okay, let's go answer the door.

Okay.

Yes? Um... Oh!

-Hi, Christine!
-Oh. Yay! It's Christine!

Hi, Christine! [chuckles]

Ojo and Christine are really
excited to see each other.

Mm-hmm.

Ooo. I've got
all kinds of cool stuff

that we can do today, Christine!

We can do anything
that you want to -

draw with my crayons,
play house...

-[laughter]
-Wow. That sounds like fun.

Well,
I'll see you two later then.

Okay. Bye, Bear! Ooo-Ooo.
I know what we can do.

Come on, right in here. I've
already got some toys out...

[laughter]

There's nothing like spending
the day with a good friend.

I ought to know.

I love spending
the day with you.

Come on in.

Hey.

Friends.

Friends. Mm-hm.

Friends are people you
like to spend time with.

Sometimes I like
to do stuff alone,

but I really love to do
things with my friends.

Yeah. And there's
all kinds of things

you can do with a friend.

Like, for example...
you could play a game...

Or...

you could have snacks.

Mmm... snacks.

[slurping]

Or... just sit and watch
the clouds float by!

Yeah.

Friends make anything fun.

♪ When you're by yourself ♪

♪ You can do anything ♪

♪ Read or swing or whatever ♪

♪ Get paints from the shelf ♪

♪ And draw a butterfly's wing ♪

♪ Then you've got
to show a friend ♪

♪ Cause if you want to share ♪

♪ You need somebody there ♪

♪ And where would you be ♪

♪ Without your friends ♪

♪ To share in a laugh ♪

♪ And hear your story ♪

♪ When all's said and done ♪

♪ And the day ends ♪

♪ Where would you be
without friends? ♪

♪ Where would you be
without friends? ♪

♪ When you ride your bike ♪

♪ You set the pace ♪

♪ Go as fast as you want to ♪

♪ But if you'd like
to have a race ♪

♪ You'd better ask a friend ♪

♪ You can swing a bat ♪

♪ Hit a ball anyplace ♪

♪ And chase it right
where it's gone to ♪

♪ Anymore than that ♪

♪ Well, you won't get
to first base ♪

♪ Unless you bring a friend ♪

♪ Cause there are kinds of fun ♪

♪ That just take more than one ♪

♪ And where would you be
without your friends ♪

♪ To cheer you on ♪

♪ And share your glory ♪

♪ They're by your side ♪

♪ However it ends ♪

♪ Where would you be
without friends? ♪

♪ Where would you be
without friends? ♪

♪ Where would you be
without friends? ♪

Yeah. Friends are great.

But you know that, right?

Well,
tell me, what do you think?

Tell me, who are some
of your friends, hmm?

What do you think?

My friends are Tishante...

Um. I got two good friends.

Rebecca.

Samantha.

Raven...

I bought my friend some flowers.

I made my friend
a birthday card.

When they ask me,

'cause they don't know how
to tie their shoe, I tie it.

I like to play with them,
of course.

Peaches.

My best friend is Shayna.

And her-her-her. [chuckles]

Wow, you sure do have
a lot of great friends.

Hmm.

CHRISTINE: Let's put all
the pillows over here.

Huh?

OJO: Ooo, good idea, Christine.

Hey.

-Hello, Ojo. Hi, Christine.
-Oh. Hi Bear!

Hmm.

I think that this blanket
will be perfect, don't you?

Hm.

So... uh, what are you
two doing?

Are you pretending to camp out?

Ha. Oh, no, no, no, no, Bear!

We're not camping out!

We're building a pillow castle!

Oh! A pillow castle!

-Mm-hmm.
-That's great!

Um. You know, Bear.

Building a pillow castle
is very hard work.

-Hmmm...
-Hi Bear!

-Hi, Ojo! Hi, Christine!
-Hey, Tutter!

So, whose up for a rousing
game of checkers?

-Huh, huh, huh?
-Checkers?

Yep, I've got the game
all set up in the kitchen?

I'm red!

Um... oh, but... uh, if you
want to go first, that's okay.

Uh...

Oh, thanks for asking,
Tutter, but, um...

Christine, my best friend, and I
are building a pillow castle.

Oh... Hey! Do you want to help?

Best friend?

Christine is your [gulp]
best friend?

Oh. Um... Well..

[miffed] Oh. I see. Well.

You just go right ahead, Ojo.

Y-You just play with your best
friend, Christine!

Eh-eh. Hmph!

Oh, oh. Well, oh. Okay.

Maybe later then, huh?

Oh.

Well, where should we put
the drawbridge, Christine?

Oh, over here.

Tutter seemed upset.

Hmmm.

Let's go and talk to him.
Come on.

Tutter!

Tutter!

[muttering] ...best friend.

Oh, Tutter? Are you okay?

Me? Oh, I'm fine, Bear.
Just fine! Heh!

Just fine... and dandy!

Um, are you sure, Tutter?

Sure, I'm sure.
Why wouldn't I be?

I-If Ojo's busy with her new
best friend, Christine, well,

that's fine, Bear. Just fine
with me.

Well, Tutter, I'm sure Ojo
didn't mean-

You know this mouse has
plenty of other things to do.

Yeah... yeah, very
important things to do

that I don't need Ojo's help
with at all. Not at all!

Well, okay. But, Tutter...

-TREELO: Hoo?
-PIP: Treelo!

-PIP: Stop it!
-POP: Come on! Stop it!

Hey. That sounds like
something's going

on out at the Otter Pond.

Oh. Oh, just... just go ahead,
Bear.

Don't you worry about me. Ha.
No problems here.

No problems whatsoever!

POP: Cut it out, Treelo!
PIP: Come on, Treelo!

Uh, well... okay, Tutter.

I'll be right back as soon
as I find out

what's going on with Treelo!

Oh, take your time, Bear.
[fake laughter]

Oh, hickory dickory.

Come on. We'll be back
here in a few minutes.

ARGH! Treelo monster! Argh!

-Treelo! Cut it out!
-Cut it out, Treelo!

-Argh!
-Ahh!

Oops. Treelo!

-[sigh]
-Guys, guys!

What is going on?

It's Treelo!

Well, what's the problem?

-Argh! [laughter]
-Ahhh!

That's the problem, Bear!

We're playing
our favorite game...

Deep Sea Divers.

And, this is the part where
we come onto dry land...

Yeah. But Treelo won't let us!

-Argh! [laughter]
-Ah... ah, oh, oh.

See.

Treelo,
what's with all the roaring?

Treelo play monster, Bear!

Treelo monster! Argh!

But we don't want a monster,
Treelo!

Yeah.

Well, come on, you guys.
I mean, you are friends.

I'm sure you can work this out?

Oh,
if Treelo can't play our game,

then maybe he's not our friend?

[gasps]

Whoa!

Wait a second.

That's a really big
thing to say.

I think I said that.

No, I think it was me.

No, no, Pop,
I'm pretty sure it was me.

No, I distinctly heard myself.

-No, it was... huh?
-Guys?

Okay, we both said it.

Pip and Pop not my friend?

[sighs]

Pip, Pop you don't really
think that's true, do you?

Well,
Treelo won't play our game.

Well,
did you want to play his game?

That monster game?

-Ew. Heh.
-I don't think so, Bear.

Right?

Well,
then, how do you think he feels?

W-Well, he... I mean we... ah,
I mean...

Hmmm...

I bet he doesn't really
feel very good about it,

does he?

No, he doesn't.

Hm.

Well, um... gee…
it's a shame you guys

can't all work
together as friends,

'cause I know this really
cool game

I played when I was a cub

called the Hidden Treasure
of Kalamazoo Bay.

-Oh well...
-[gasp] Ooooh! Ooooh!

Oooooh! What's that, Bear?
What's that?

-Yeah.
-Well,

it's this really cool
game where you need

two treasure hunters

and a pretend scary monster.

Oh well..

Hmm... Oh!

Treelo pretend scary monster!

-Argh!
-Heh.

Why, yes, you are, Treelo.

-Yeah. But...
-Hey!

W-We're treasure hunters...

Hey,
this might work out after all.

How do you play?
How do you play?

-Yeah.
-Well,

first, Treelo -

the pretend
scary monster has to hide.

Oh. [laughter]

Meanwhile,

the two treasure hunters come
out of Kalamazoo Bay

onto dry land...

[gasp] Ooo...

Burl-ooo-brl-ooo

Yeah? And?

And suddenly,

they come upon a pretend
scary monster!

-Argh! Argh!
-Whoa. Whoa.

[laughter]

Good scary monster,
friend Treelo.

This is fun. [chuckles]

Aw!

Betcha can't catch us,
scary monster!

-Argh!
-Wow. Wow.

How'd he do that.

-Argh!
-See you guys!

-Have fun!
-Bye, Bear!

-Yeah...
-Argh

Ooo... scary monster...

Wow. They know the game
now better than I do.

Yeah! Sometimes it can
be hard to play together.

But when you can figure out how,

it can be twice as much fun.

In fact, I remember the time-

SHADOW: Ha ha ha ha ha!

-Did you hear that?
-Hahahaha!

That sounds like Shadow! Hmm?

I bet if we sing our song
together, she might appear.

Ready?

♪ Oh. Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where can Shadow be ♪

Ha, ha.

Hey, you fuzzy old fella!

-Mm.
-[laughter]

Hello, Shadow!
It's good to see you.

So,
what have you been doing today?

Ahhh, I was just playing with my
friends the sunbeams, Bear.

Ooo. That sounds like fun.

Well,
Shadow, we were wondering...

do you have a story
for us today?

Why certainly, Bear!

Just watch.

[magic fairy dust sound]

♪ Mary had a little lamb ♪

♪ Its fleece was white as snow ♪

♪ And everywhere
that Mary went ♪

♪ The lamb was sure to go ♪

Stay.

Stay.

Stay.

♪ Dum-dum-dum-dum ♪

Brrrr brrrrr Vroom Vroom.

[happy music playing]

♪ It followed her
to school one day ♪

♪ Which was against the rules ♪

That's against the rules.

♪ It made the children
laugh and play ♪

♪ To see a lamb at school ♪

Wow.
That lamb sure is a good reader.

You're my best friend.

[kiss]

Baaa...

Wow! What a great story!

It sure was, Bear!
[laughter] Well I'm off!

But when you need another story,

just try and catch me!

-Bye, Shadow.
-[chuckles]

Hey,
let's go see how Tutter's doing.

I want to make sure he's okay.
Come on!

Whoa. Nice move. [laughter] Hm.

-Hey, Tutter!
-Oh hello, Bear.

Ha-ha. What?
I didn't catch that.

Yeah... hey!
That would be an excellent move.

Boy, ha, thanks for the advice.
Ha-ha.

-Let's see was it this one?
-Um... Tutter?

Is everything okay?

Well, everything's great Bear.
Just great!

Hey, Bear.
Meet my new best friend,

ha-ha. Mr. Cheese!

Mm... Huh?

Oh. Yep. Yep.

Mr. Cheese says
I'm his best friend ever.

[chuckles] Aww. I feel
the same way about you big guy.

[laughter]...

-Yeah.
-Tutter?

Isn't that a piece of cheese?

Ooo. You betcha, Bear!

Cheese has always been a good
friend to this mouse. Ha.

Unlike a certain little
girl bear cub named Ojo...

who shall remain nameless!

Tutter, I know that Ojo said
Christine was her best friend...

Yes she did!

But I bet there's
something you didn't know.

What?

Did you know you can have
more than one best friend.

Oh, ha, sure, sure Bear.

I mean, who doesn't know th--...

Really?

You can?

Sure! After all,

you're my best friend
and so is Ojo,

and Pip and Pop, and Treelo...

and all of you out there, too!
Mm-hmm.

Gee, I never thought of it
like that before, Bear!

I bet Christine and Ojo

would really like you
to play with them.

Do you think so, Bear?

Hey... oh...

gee... urn... well...

T-Tutter, what's wrong?

Bear.
C-Could I talk to you... urn,

you know... in private?

-[laughter]
-Uh...

Sure, Tutter. Um, okay... Um.

-What is it?
-Could you please step...

Excuse me just a minute.
Thank you,

ha-ha... Um,

excuse me.

[whispering] Bear,
I'd like to go and play

with Ojo and Christine,

but, I don't know...

I don't want to hurt
Mr. Cheese's feelings.

You know, he... he's pretty
sensitive, for a Swiss...

um, cheese.

And, he is my friend.

Um... Tutter,

that is very nice of you,
Tutter...

but, I think, Mr. Cheese is
a very...

understanding sort of...

cheese.

Oh, well. Okay then.

Hey,
I'll see you later Mr. Cheese.

We'll do lunch! [laughter]...

Um, oh... thank you, Bear.

You too, cheese man. Ha-ha.

You guys really made
me feel better!

-Mm-hmm.
-Oh, that's okay, Tutter.

After all what are friends for.

So, Tutter, shall we go see what
Ojo and Christine are up to?

Whoa. Yeah, let's go!

Let's set the table
for tea Christine!

Hey, Tutter.

I think Ojo and Christine are
back in their pillow castle.

Why don't you go on over?

Oh, I don't know, Bear.

I-It sounds like
they're awful busy in there.

Er-I don't want to just bust
in and, you know,

bother them.

Well, let's see, uh...

Hey! I have an idea.

Why don't you play near
them and see what happens?

Well... just, just play
next to this, um,

pillow castle, you mean?

Sure, Tutter. Try it.

Hey, you never know.

Um... Okay...

uh... gee, uh...
if you say so...

Ahem!

[loudly] Gee, here I am
right next to this very nice,

um, castle of pillows.

Uh... in...
my... um... in… my... garden,

yeah -yeah, my garden!

Oooo. Good idea, Tutter.

Yeah. Um...

I think I-I'll water my garden.
Ha-ha.

Yeah. Oh. Wa-ter, wa-ter, water.
Watering my garden.

Water,
water, water, water, water.

Huh? Oh!

Oh, look Christine!
I-It's our neighbor, Tutter!

-Hello, Tutter!
-Oh, hi Ojo. Hi Christine.

Ha-ha. Don't mind me. I'm
just watering my garden

outside this nice pillow
castle here!

Dum, dedurn, dedum, dedum.

Oooh. It's so nice to have
a garden next to our castle.

Would you like to come inside,
Tutter,

and join us for tea?

[gasp] Would I?

But,... you really want me to?

Oh, why sure!

Now I have two
of my very bestest friends

here to play with!

-Come on inside!
-[laughter] Yeah.

Oh! And could you
bring those vegetables

from your garden,
Tutter, please.

-Vegetables?
-Mm-hmm.

Oh, from the garden! Yeah-yeah.
Ha-ha.

Of course, Ojo. Here they are.

Nice, huh?

Wow! We had a wonderful day,
didn't we?

Maybe it's because
I have such great friends,

like you.

Hey!

Why don't we go up
and tell Luna all about it.

Come on.

Ah. There she is!

-Hello, Luna!
-Hello, Bear!

And how was your day in
the Big Blue House?

It was great, Luna.

Christine the rabbit came
over to play with Ojo.

And they built a pillow castle!

Oh, what fun!

Ojo and Christine
are such good friends.

Yeah.

Tutter joined them, too.

And later,
everyone had a tea party!

A tea party.

Oh, I love tea parties!

Oh! And Pip, Pop and Treelo
played a great game together.

The Treasure of Kalamazoo Bay!

Oh I remember you playing that
when you were a cub, Bear!

You were quite a treasure
hunter as I recall!

[chuckles] Yeah, I... I was,
wasn't I?

[chuckles]

Gee, you know me so well, Luna.

Well, of course I do, Bear.

We've been friends a long time.

Mmm.

And, you know,
the longer you know someone,

the better friends you become.

Friends know you
better than anyone!

And that's a good thing.

Yeah, it is, Luna.

Hey, Luna?

Would you sing
the "Goodbye Song" with me?

Anything to help out
an old friend, Bear!
