[narrator] "Leroy's Caterpillar."

Kids, I need your help.

These caterpillars
are eating all my lettuce.

Aw. They're so cute.
So, these are caterpillars?

You don't have caterpillars in the ocean?

-Not that I know of.
-Oh, well, they're caterpillars.

They're really colorful.
Oh, look at them.

They're so happy.

Maybe we just let them
have the lettuce, Dad.

Then how would I make my famous
leafy lettuce salads for you kids?

Mm-hm. One sec.

-What do you think?
-Salads aren't as good as tacos.

Yeah, tacos are way better.

We've decided
we can live without salads.

-We'll just eat more tacos.
-[Chef J laughs]

That's mighty generous of you kids.

But I promise you they'll be just as happy
when we move them to the forest.

The forest is full of delicious
healthy leaves for you to eat.

Plus, they'll like it in the forest
when they become butterflies.

Wait. All of those will become that?

Yep. And soon too.
That's why they're so hungry.

They need to eat a lot so they'll have
energy to build their cocoons.

Cocoon? What's that?

It's like a hard shell they live inside

to protect them
while they grow their wings.

So, what do you say?

Will you help me find these
hungry little caterpillars a new home?

-A wonderful new home.
-Yes!

Happy to help.

One at a time. There's room for everyone.

A little snack for the trip.

Almost there.

Almost.

[giggling]

[Kelp] Good job, buddy.

[stomach gurgling]

[stomach gurgles]

[squeaking]

I think we got them all.

Come on, Leroy.

We did it. We saved Chef J's lettuce.

And my dad was right.
They look super happy here.

[Kelp] After all that hard work,

maybe Chef J will make us one of his
famous leafy lettuce salads.

Really? Salad?

Kidding. Let's ask for tacos.

-Extra-crunchy ones.
-Yeah.

Tacos.

Leroy, you still have a caterpillar
on your head.

Don't you wanna
put her back in the forest?

Why not?

You and the caterpillar are friends?

[giggling]

-They're so cute together.
-Now.

But what happens when caterpillar
becomes a butterfly,

and she wants to explore the land
like Chef J said?

Well, she's not a butterfly yet.
They could still play together now.

[giggling]

[stomach gurgling]

Hi, Leroy. Hi, Caterpillar.

[chuckles] Can I give her one?

She seems extra hungry today.

Do you and Caterpillar wanna come down to
the beach? We're all gonna play swishbee.

[yawning]

Oh, looks like you're both
feeling sleepy after your picnic.

Okay, enjoy your nap. Join us after.

[all chuckling]

Catch.

Your turn, Kelp.

Huh?

-[Pixie] Kelp, the swishbee's over there.
-It's Leroy.

Leroy, you made it.

Why is he walking so slowly?

Hmm.

Let's go see.

[Kelp] Hi, Leroy.

-[gasps] Whoa.
-[Kelp] Wow.

Is that a cocoon, Leroy?

[Pixie] Sure is.

Aw. Caterpillar's growing up.

So that's why you're walking
so slowly.

You wanna be careful.

I guess that means
you can't join in on swishbee now.

What do you feel like playing instead?

-Leroy?
-Is everything okay?

Are you afraid to spark talk
because It might hurt the cocoon?

[Pixie] That's okay.

She'll be a butterfly soon,
and then you can spark talk again.

I can't wait to see her.

I bet Caterpillar's going to be
a very glamorous butterfly.

With big, beautiful wings,
so she can fly away and explore the land.

Just like Chef J said.

I'm sorry, Leroy.

Yeah, we didn't mean
to talk about your friend flying away.

Are you okay?

Oh, he can't answer.
He has to keep the cocoon safe.

[upbeat music playing]

[sighs]

Hi, Leroy. Hi, Butterfly. Can I join you?

Have you and Butterfly
visited the forest yet?

Why not?

Chef J said it's a fun place
for butterflies.

You and Butterfly are friends.

The forest...

Butterfly and forest?

Oh. You're worried that
Butterfly will fly away?

I wonder if that's how Scallop feels
when I come up to Unicorn Land.

When I discovered I was part unicorn,
I knew I had to explore everything

there was to explore being a unicorn.

Maybe butterflies have to do the same.

How are you feeling?

You feel happy and sad?

Yeah, I felt that way before too.

Leroy, look.

[upbeat music playing]

[narrator] "Lost Spark."

-I love helping Riki in the greenhouse.
-Yep.

Riki always says
I'm good at the watering part.

Hold on, Juni. I've got a better idea.

Instead of using the watering can,
let's use our spark.

-Use our spark to water plants?
-Yep.

We can do just
about anything with spark.

Maybe you can,
but my spark is still just bubbles, so...

And a bubble is just what we need.
A water bubble.

Now that I can do.

I got this! Woo-hoo!

I wanna pop it.

Hold your horn, Juni.
We need the plants first.

Oh, right.

[all laughing]

Okay, Juni. Give it a poke.

Yay! Poke.

[Riki] You kids are mighty inventive.

Very clever way to water the plants.
I bow to you.

So clever that we can do it again?

On behalf of all
the other thirsty plants...

Me, me. My turn. Me two. Me three.

[all giggling]

You've got it, plants.

Spark blows my mind all the time.

-My sister's the best at it.
-She sure is.

Whoa!

-[screams]
-Huh?

I got watered, too.

Whoa!

-What just happened?
-I...

-I don't know.
-No biggie.

-I'll make another one.
-Yeah. We'll just do another.

[bubbling]

Come on, Pixie, catch it.

Oh, yeah.

[gasps]

Whoa!

What's going on with your spark?

It's okay. Everyone messes up sometimes.

I don't. Not with my spark.

-My spark always works.
-Let's just try again.

Catch that bubble. Catch that bubble.

[groaning]

[gasps]

[both] Catch that bubble!
Catch that bubble!

Catch that bubble! Catch that bubble!

-Catch that bubble! Catch that bubble!
-Come on. Come on!

My spark.

It's gone.

-[gasps]
-What am I gonna do?

-[groans]
-Pixie, it's okay.

It's not okay. It's very not okay.

-What do we do?
-Riki's right over there.

Maybe she can help. Come on.

[Riki] Uh-huh...

Hmm.

I've heard of this happening.
It's called "Lost Spark."

[gasps]

-Lost Spark.
-But we can find it again, right?

She hasn't lost it forever?

This book has cures
for all sorts of unicorn maladies.

Let's see.

"Droopy Horn, Hoppy Legs, Bad Mane Week,
Rainbow Phobia, Stinky Hoof."

-Stinky Hoof?
-Oh, trust me.

You do not want that.

"Giggle Attack, Tail Spins,
Thunder Sneeze..." Ah!

Here it is, "Lost Spark."

Huh. Curious.

-It's a riddle.
-Pixie, you'll figure this out.

-You're great with riddles.
-What's it say?

"Breathe, you can be sure.
If you're patient, there's a cure.

Trust, for when you peep,
you'll find it's there, down deep."

-I don't get it.
-That's why it's a riddle, I'm afraid.

"Trust, for when you peep."

Peep? What's that supposed to mean?

It means we have to look around
with our peepers.

-Okay, but what are we looking for?
-The cure for Pixie's Lost Spark.

[Riki gasps] There's more. Look.

That plant must be the cure
we're looking for.

Oh, thank goodness. Which one is it?

It's none of these.

Sorry, I've never seen
this plant before.

But you know everything about plants.

[gasps] Maybe it's not real.

What? The cure for my Lost Spark
is a plant that nobody's ever seen

that might not even be real?

I'm doomed.

[Kelp] Poor Pixie.

We've gotta do something.
Come on, Juniper.

Where are we going?

To use our peepers
and find that plant.

Yeah, we are. If it's even real.

Magic plant that will cure my sister,
where are you?

Hang on, Juni! First, let's...

take a closer look at the picture.

Funny, this plant actually looks
kind of familiar.

-I've looked everywhere.
-Everywhere?

-Already?
-Yep.

The plant's not here. It's a lost cause.

-Let's look at the riddle again.
-Riddle shmiddle, but okay.

"Breathe, you can be sure.

If you're patient, there's a cure.
Trust, for when you peep,

-you'll find it's there, down deep."
-Down deep.

-That must mean we gotta dig for it.
-Maybe, but...

I don't know any plants
that grow underground.

I'm gonna find you, magic plant.

And you're gonna cure my sister.

But I don't have any better ideas, so...

-Maybe over here.
-I'm gonna dig there.

[both] Let's dig everywhere.

That's a lot of holes.

-I dug as deep as I could.
-Is there something deeper than a hole?

Actually, yes, there is.

-There is?
-The ocean.

And that's why this plant looks familiar.

-It's sea grass.
-Grass?

In the ocean? How strange.

-And great!
-No wonder Riki's never seen it before.

I'll go get some right away.

And I'll go tell Pixie and Riki
that we solved the riddle.

Aw.

[groans]

I hope the sea unicorn gets back soon.

Got it.

Woo-hoo! We found it.

[Kelp & Juniper] We found the cure!

Here you go, Pixie. The cure!

Do I eat it?

Rub it on my horn?

-Uh...
-Um...

[both] Riki?

Huh. I'm not sure. Let's see.

It doesn't say what to do with it.

Have no fear, Juni the Great is here.

I, Juniper the Great,
with my magic sea grass, will cure you.

Sparkle warkle shmarkle roo, shazam!

Maybe try eating it?

My dad makes sea-grass soufflé
all the time.

Yeah. Eat it.

-Mm-mm.
-Eat it.

Is it working? Is it not working?

[burping]

-Ew. That was not spark.
-Sorry. The cure doesn't work.

My spark has gone away forever.

It's not so bad.

I didn't even know I had spark
before I met you, and I was fine.

Yeah.

You didn't even know
you were a unicorn.

But I'm not fine.
I'm useless without my spark.

I'm not even me anymore.

That's not true.
You're Pixie Jean Dazzlerump.

And with or without spark,
you're my best friend.

And my best big sister.

But if you want your spark back,
we're not giving up.

There must be something
in the book we're missing.

-Read it again, Riki.
-"Breathe, you can be sure.

If you're patient, there's a cure.

Trust, for when you peep,
you'll find it's there, down deep."

"Breathe, you can be sure." Breathe.

[breathing deeply]

"Find it there, down deep."

[groans] This riddle is silly.

What about the sea grass? [sniffs]

You're supposed to cure my sister.

She's never gonna get her spark back.

Am I imagining a rainbow?

Ooh...

Pixie, you did it.

[all cheering]

[Kelp and Juniper] Your spark's back!

[Juniper] You did it!

-And it's gone again!
-No, it's not.

-Ooh.
-Oh, good.

You really did get your spark back.

I knew you would. How'd you do it?

You were right.
I am great at solving riddles.

-You solved the silly riddle?
-It was never my spark that was lost.

It was my confidence.

-Huh?
-I stopped believing in myself.

But like the riddle said, I took a breath.
I was patient,

and I trusted that,
deep down, I was still me:

Pixie Jean Dazzlerump.

Your best friend, and your best sister.

-Yeah!
-Yes!

Wait, we still don't know
about the sea grass?

What does it have to do with anything?

[Riki laughing]

Nothing. It has nothing to do
with curing Lost Spark.

The pages were stuck together.

Turns out, sea grass is actually
the cure for Porfwobbler Tummy.

-Who knew?
-What's Porfwobbler Tummy?

Oh, I know this one!

It's when you eat
way too many porfwobblers,

and your tummy gets all wobbly.

I'm happy
you believe in yourself again.

-Me too.
-Me three.

And I'm happy I finally know the cure
for Porfwobbler Tummy.
