01x21 - Oh, Brother!

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

Once Upon an fin my life was a near

tragic State I longed to find a brighter

place somewhere full of love and

grace I dream of fields with a cool

Ocean Breeze a home for my young

family when I got my wish I pinched

myself to to make sure this home was

real they sent for a boy but then I was

a girl my dreaming had just let me down

again if I came as a queen with long

ebony hair then maybe they feel I was

worth it for them I'm a good worker in

spite of My Talking I've long to belong

here for all of my life don't send me

away without seeing what I see

everything I touch is full of delights

I'll do my best to not let you down I

can imagine a world full of joy just

give me your hand and I'll teach you to

hope you'll find that I've something

worthwhile just let me stay here and

I'll love you forever I promise a life

full of

[Music]

smiles as a gesture of my eternal

gratitude for you picking me up I have

prepared a feast well now that'll be

nice oh Matthew The King Family Reunion

was the second most wonderful Adventure

I've ever had every moment verged

thrillingly on disaster feelings were

torn

aunder and this was wonderful yes

because lives were changed forever and

all with enough tears to flood aan Lee

do tell oh it's a long story we've got

time besides how often do I get to hear

about someone's second most wonderful

Adventure it all started Thursday

morning when I promised to help the

Kings with their family

[Music]

reunion I must admit I was curious The

King Family is ever so large uncles

aunts cousins nephews and nieces had

come from all over Hi Felix hey

and

imagine from as far away as Nova Scotia

and New York City I was surprised that

the King Family asked me to

help but when I saw that even Felicity

was in a good mood I knew that

everything would be just

Splendid oh and isn't my new dress

scrumptious I want to make a good

impression on my cousins it's certainly

a

[Music]

spectacle oh no my

dress sorry you did that on purpose

you're trying to ruin the entire

reunion it was an

accident that's how it started it only

got worse from

[Music]

there

I saw him trip Felicity it was an

accident plain and simple he's the

clumsiest person alive be thankful you

don't have an irritating little brother

if I did I'm sure we'd get along that's

what you

think I so wanted to impress my cousins

Peter and Penelope with this dress Felix

said they're from Nova Scotia that's

[Music]

right

oh and you have saved me now I'll Dazzle

my cousins you wait and see I have it

all

planned you out of my room we're

supposed to be at the station thanks to

you we'll be

late I guess she's still mad at

[Music]

me

as we approached the station a surge of

excitement passed through

me that day the 315 train could have

been called the king

[Music]

express it was clearly evident every

passenger was a member of The King

Family Peter and Penelope were twins

which could have been confusing but due

to my uncanny gift of observation I had

no trouble determining who was

who these are for you Penelope for me

and me alone oh how very

kind

nice an's a friend she's helping us yes

Ann's an orphan she wanted to know what

a big family is like but listen

well it's

true welcome to aan Le yes well Felix

baggage all this we've got more

important things to do you know I think

I'll help

Hoots about fancy dresses myself hang on

[Music]

a here I

come Felix you want to turn nah straw

makes me itch that's not the reason

don't you dare say anything Felix is

scared a snake might be in the hay

snakes snakes around here are harmless

but he's still scared once one slithered

into his lunch pale you should have

heard him scream I'm not scared now

really well then catch

this get it off me get it off it's only

a rope

look I'll get you for

that are family reunions always so

nasty you think they'd enjoy the visit

it can be difficult for a brother and

sister to get along now Matthew you and

I have always gotten along you have to

admit merilla once in a while we

contradict each other we do no such

thing

see at least you laugh Felix and

Felicity would be throwing things I've

learned to accept my brother so he

leaves muddy Footprints so he doesn't

say two words words to a stranger he

could be a lot worse sure could me I

accept that around here even the dirt

has to be clean and that milla's idea of

relaxation is peeling potatoes watch

she's winding up to contradict me again

I am not in fact you've worked so hard I

think you should relax

huh and I accept that sometimes she's a

lot smarter than me

huh hooray I

won what a game that was are you sure

you didn't move that piece when I wasn't

looking certainly

not so did they mend their ways alas no

the next day led to a disaster of such

magnitude that it was unimaginable even

for

[Music]

me I'm going as fast as I can

[Laughter]

as a young member of the king family I

am proud to

have

[Laughter]

um why that little

stinker to have so many kings to uh

emulate I bought this paper with my

allowance come on I worked hard on that

speech and I worked hard for the paper

you can't just take anything you want

give me my speech you want it

fine here's your

[Music]

speech I'll get

you I wish I were an only child like you

you don't mean that I'd give anything

for a brother or sister you think

everything is easy and wonderful and

and that

Beast my new

dress now

Felicity don't get angry

uh-oh give it why should I let's

go

I hate you I hate you stop it both of

you he started it she did it doesn't

matter since you can't get along you

will both stay here tomorrow and miss

the

reunion oh no how are we going to fix

[Music]

this I didn't know what to do is it

really so difficult for brothers and

sisters to get along well now Peter and

Penelope didn't fight

precisely and Matthew I had to figure

out

why I found that when I'm faced with a

perplexing problem imagination is

extremely

useful what's that supposed to mean I

wish I had a real family cousins and

uncles and aunts and most of all a real

brother and you would all look alike and

you'd never fight un L Dy dah why not

I'm allowed to dream all right if you

wish to dream let's

dream dear family member Anne Shirley

kindly requests your attendance at her

first ever family

reunion cousin

Anne I bring you greetings from the

East hey an pleased to meet you I'm

Uncle Ed from way out

[Music]

W I'm that mab from way

downstairs I'm truly tickled to be

here I came all the way across the sea

to bring greetings from the old

[Music]

country and where are those Brothers of

mine here we are

[Music]

an

aha woo

[Laughter]

now there's enough of us Kindred kin to

make a baseball

team I've got first base covered and try

second afraid not little sis try

third nope how about

catcher uh-uh this is mine Annie

Nanny just where do you think I'm going

to

play Left Field I've never been so

insulted further back an further if this

is the way I'm going to be treated well

then I'm just not playing on this team

well they're not thinking about my

feelings phew it all makes perfect sense

now it does does yes when we choose our

friends who think like us it's easy to

get along but families don't choose each

other they have to learn to get along

well I'm glad we solved that one I still

have to figure out how to help Felicity

and Felix get

along the next morning I decided to

observe you and merilla I had to

discover how you two were able to get

along

I thought she would get angry and tell

you to

stop but she didn't she did other chores

rather than disturb

you later I heard you arguing about the

[Music]

Hedge you

compromized rather than argue you worked

it out

when the Hedge was finished then merilla

hung the laundry

[Music]

[Music]

huh from my observations I learned that

you and merilla respect each other

that's how you get along and I learned

that you were spying hm it wasn't spying

it was

research besides I couldn't spy for very

long I had to find Felicity and

Felix first I asked Peter and Penelope

how they got along maybe respect is

something only older people

have I guess it's respect Peter wouldn't

borrow my things without

asking I'm scared of the

water but Penny would never make fun of

me or tell anyone unless I told them

first don't you have a fight yes ouch

oops sorry but when we're really mad we

leave each other

alone then we solve it when we're

calm maybe we could convince Felicity

and Felix to try that except they won't

talk to one

another

well

[Music]

we want to talk to you sure but you'll

miss your ride if you wait much

[Music]

longer a brother here we go I'm not

staying

here you both

are I don't have any anything to say you

have to learn how to get along how I

have no privacy and he's always taking

my things we're supposed to share

Penelope and I never take each other's

things without permission we even put

signs on our doors when we want to be

alone what wa your turn Felix what does

Felicity do that upsets you I don't do

anything wrong you make fun of me all

all the time

it's funny oh oh no not to

me you're

right I'm

sorry wow nice catch Felix you too

Felicity wow look at

that

it took a while but the fish got caught

and brother and sister were

reconciled I know vanity is Unbecoming

but I felt a good sense of

accomplishment until we saw that

everyone else had left for the

reunion

[Music]

a

we'll never catch them thanks to us

you'll miss the reunion there's a

shortcut through the woods we could take

you you're not allowed to go to the

reunion we won't we'll take them and

walk back that'll help make up for how

rotten we've been great idea come

on

[Music]

path it's okay scram

first wagon and nobody knew you were
