01x07 - Square's Sleepover/Growing Pains

[bunniefuu]

Circle and Triangle
have arrived at Square's house

for a very special night.

Triangle is hoping that nobody notices
he forgot his toothbrush.

You forgot your toothbrush.

Oops. You think he'll notice?

Well, the invitation makes it pretty clear
he wanted us to bring our own.

Hello, friends, and welcome
to the best sleepover party of your lives.

"Square's Sleepover."

-I see you forgot your toothbrush.
-I thought I'd--

-I would--
-Fear not.

That's nice.

I've spent months meticulously planning
every second of tonight's festivities

so we can achieve
the maximum amount of fun possible.

All you two have to do is sit back
and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Now, come on in and make yourself at home.

Mi casa es su casa.

Wow, awesome! Thanks, Square.

No. This way! Follow me!

Square had put a lot of thought
into the sleepover layout.

Please, sit.

How thoughtful. Toothbrush holders.

Wow, Square.
You've really outdone yourself.

Now that you're all settled in,

let's go ahead and dive into
activity number one.

A 200-piece puzzle!

Okay, sure.

Hey, before we start,
can I have a glass of water?

There's a bottle under your pillow

and a granola bar
in case you're feeling peckish.

Now, let's get to it!

And… finished.

Perfect. Right on schedule.
Exactly as I planned it.

Now, on to activity number two.

Another puzzle!

Another puzzle?

Another puzzle!

This one has a thousand pieces.

That's a lot of pieces.

Okay, but--

Hey, maybe we could take
a little puzzle break

and do something else.

Very funny, Triangle.
Always with the jokes.

I wasn't really--

Strategically, I think we play it safe and
stick to our roles from the last puzzle.

Triangle, you take the corners.

Circle, you start grouping
the pieces by color.

I'll take the edges.
I've got a real eye for edges.

Don't think too hard
about where to start, you two.

Just dive in
and get those juices a-flowing.

And finished.

Finally.

Nice! 30 seconds ahead of schedule.

Looks like I have a couple of
puzzle experts on my hands.

Well, hold on to your hats,

because we're gonna need
those extra 30 seconds for our next event.

Are you ready?

-Definitely.
-Please.

Now, I know the last two
were a little tame,

but I wanted to start the night
at a slow boil and really ramp things up.

So, brace yourself
for activity number three.

A 2,000-piece puzzle!

2,000?

This one's gonna be tricky

on account of
the completely uniform image,

but I've found
that the most satisfying puzzles are

the ones where you really get a chance
to focus on the pieces.

Shall we?

Hey, you know what else is
fun to do on sleepovers?

Telling ghost stories.

Is your ghost story 30 seconds long?

I don't know.
I guess I never really timed it out.

I mean, it's not long.

I could definitely tell it quickly though.

I mean, trust me, you'll love it.

Especially when--

I'm gonna have to stop you
right there, friend.

Your 30 seconds is up.
And that takes care of that.

Actually, now we're a little behind.
Onward to the next puzzle!

Come on,
you didn't even give me a chance.

Well, when we have a sleepover
at your house,

I'll be happy to hear some ghost stories,
right, Circle?

Well, I'd actually like
to hear the ghost story.

Okay. Sure.

Well, I guess if I get creative,

I can just push a few of
the official events around

and squeeze that in.

"Unscheduled ghost story."

And there. Now it's on the schedule.

Okay, Triangle, you may begin
your ghost story now.

And the only thing anyone ever found
from that night

was a coaster that looked just like this!

Now, that's some good narration.

Spooky.

Good one, Triangle.

Okay, great. That went a little long,
but I think I can get us back on track

if we just go double time on the puzzle.

Tough, but doable.

-Wait, I have one.
-One what?

A ghost story.

Okay, what is happening right now?

So, what, you both want to just skip
the final puzzle?

Right. Sure, no problem.

Okay. This one's about a group--

Okay, let me just get this out of the way.

Wouldn't want an extremely challenging
but ultimately rewarding puzzle

to distract you two
from telling your story.

All clear. Continue.

Okay.

This one's about a group of friends
who were having a late-night sleepover.

And they say
that if you stay up late enough,

you can still hear him
tap-tap-tapping on the window.

Wait! What was that?

Did you really hear something?

Don't play with me, Circle.

All right, good story.

Now, we really have to pick up
for lost time.

I'll go get the lemon bars
and set up activity number four.

-Turn the lights on.
-Wait!

First you gotta check the window, Square.
I really think I heard him.

Stop it. It was just a story.

Was it?

Nope. Nothing.

Okay, on to the lemon bar--

Triangle!

-Hey, Circle, did you--
-Come on, Square.

You gotta admit
Triangle got you with that one.

Yeah. You got me all right.

I was just kidding around. Sorry.

We were having fun.

Now we can get back to
your regularly scheduled activities.

Right, of course. Good one, Triangle.

Anyway, to get back to the schedule…

Because of the ghost stories,

we're gonna have to double up
on some activities to get everything in,

but you two are still in for a great time!

Okay, perfect.

Carry the one… And that looks like…

That's great. I can see it exactly.

Okay.

Okay, now we don't have time for that.
Or for that. Or--

You know what?
Let's skip to the basket weaving.

Hey, what if we made a pillow fort?
Then we could sleep in there all night.

Yeah, that sounds cool.

No, Circle,
we don't have time for a pillow fort.

We've already had to lose
too many planned activities,

and there's no way we're missing out on

making small decorative baskets
before bedtime!

Come on. Stop worrying about it.

We can just do
the things we missed next time.

Next time? I've been planning this
for months, if you didn't hear me earlier.

I'm getting the box of natural fibers.
You two stay put!

Okay.

Square, what are you so upset about?

This was my sleepover party.

It's my house.

I've planned for so long, so carefully.

And then you two show up,

and all you wanna do is what you wanna do.

We're your guests.

I know you're my guests!

That's why I scheduled
all this fun stuff for you!

But we wanna do other stuff.
It's not all about you, Square.

Square.

I just wanted us all to have
the best sleepover ever,

but I guess my idea of fun
is different from theirs.

I feel kind of bad.

Yeah.

But I really don't wanna do that puzzle.

Yeah.

Oh, Square.

I-- We were just--

Unscheduled pillow fight!

And so,

Square's sleepover turned out
even better than he had planned.

Good thread count, buddy.

Good night, shapes.

After a long night of dreaming
about her flowers and vegetables,

Circle spends the morning tending to them.

You're definitely thirsty.

Don't worry, I didn't forget about you.

And I don't know this for sure, but…

You want some of this too?

The tomatoes very much wanted
some of that.

Of course you get some.

When Triangle hears
a conversation he's not a part of,

he does his best
to make himself a part of it.

Watering tomatoes?

I am.

Very nice.

Wanna see me juggle?

You can juggle?

Yeah, sure. Can I have some tomatoes?

Yes.

That was pretty good.

Yep.

Hi, Circle.

Hi back.

Are you okay?

Oh, yes. Sorry. I'm fine.

Okay.

Will you teach me
to grow a vegetable garden?

You wanna try gardening?

Your garden is so full of life.
The tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber.

I know mine won't look as nice
and I'll mess some stuff up,

but I've been thinking about this,
and I really wanna--

I'd love to be your teacher.

-Really?
-Of course.

Now, remember,
I've been doing this for years.

It can take some time
before you get it right.

Yes.
Completely understand. Yeah.

I have to pick up supplies.
I don't know what I'm gonna grow.

I think this will be
quite the experience for both of us.

"Growing Pains."

Square believed that
just because a garden is made in the dirt

doesn't mean that it can't be orderly.

Looks like you had a busy morning.

Oh, gosh, did I get too much stuff?
I should've checked beforehand.

It's good. We'll need all of this.

Okay. Good.

Teach me.

Well, if we wanna grow a garden,
we need something to grow it in.

Let's pour some soil.

"Pour some soil."

How much?

I don't know. Maybe about half a bag?

"Half a bag."

And… done.

I think. Maybe I should measure it again.

No. You're good.

Gardening is more of an art
than a science.

Right. What's next, Teach?

Starting a garden is a lot of work.

I told you it wouldn't be easy.
But you did good.

I wonder how it's gonna turn out.
Will I get a lot of cucumbers?

Remember, this is your first try.

Don't get your hopes up too high.

That makes sense.

Is that a sprout?

It's gonna take more than a few hours
before we see anything.

Don't forget, water and sunlight, okay?

Check your notes,
and I'll check back in a few days.

Circle waited a few days
before checking in on her eager student.

Hi, you. This is your first checkup.

Oh, no. Is this a test? Am I being graded?

No. I just wanted to see
if you had anything yet.

Wow. Well, you're further along
than I thought.

Well, that's wonderful.
I was a little worried.

I didn't wanna bug you,
so I was reading up on some techniques.

Well, I'm sure
that I know those techniques.

I'm sure you do.

I think your watermelons need
a little extra water.

You know, they don't have that name
for no reason.

Really? Is that why they're called that?

No, I was just joking.

And they must call them "carrots"
because you have to "care" for "it."

Hello, Square.

Hi, Circle. I think my garden's
coming along pretty well.

Look at how green my melon vines are.

They were certainly very green.

Greener than the ones in Circle's garden?
Who's to say?

I'm to say. They were definitely greener.

Circle noticed this too.

Yeah, they're really green.

You're setting up umbrellas?

It's been kinda hot
these last couple of days.

Too much sun can cause damage,
but why am I telling you?

I'm sure you're already set up.

Of course.

I was actually just, you know, coming over
to check to see if you'd done that.

You passed.

But, I actually have to go
check out some magic stuff.

Keep up the good work.

Okay, bye.

Square's garden is good,

but it's probably
because I've been helping him so much.

And once I give my garden a little care,

I'm sure I'll have the best veggies
on the island.

Definitely better than Square's.

But that's not important, obviously.

Circle worked on her garden
harder than she ever worked before.

What's this?

This is probably the best carrot
I've ever grown.

I have to show Square.

To inspire him.

Yes, that is why. Inspiration.

Hi, Square. I just wanted to stop by
to show you my--

Circle, hi!
I'm finally harvesting my veggies.

What do you think of my garden?

It-- It's good.

It's even better than yours.

I don't know about that.

These are definitely juicier.

Much juicier!

Looks like the island has
a new master gardener, huh?

That's a bit much. I don't know.

It's good. I--

It's good.

You grew a good garden.

But I should probably head back to mine.

I guess his garden is pretty good
for a first try.

You're choosing his garden too?

I mean, it's a good garden. All right?

Yeah, I'll admit it. He did good, okay?

But sometimes you just get lucky
on your first go,

but it doesn't mean he's better than me.

He's my friend.
I'm happy his garden is so nice.

It's so nice.

What kind of a friend would I be
if I didn't want him to succeed?

Be better!

You know what? Maybe--

Maybe we do have
a new master gardener on the island.

Why should I even try?

Hey, whatcha doing?

Giving up, maybe?

I don't know.

So, can I have the tomatoes?
For my juggling practice?

Have at 'em.

Yeah.

-Have you ever caught anything juggling?
-No. Nope.

How long have you been doing it for?

A couple years now.

A couple of years?
But you can't catch anything.

Not even one. Watch.

Hey, you're pretty good.

But I really don't care
how good I am at it.

So, why do you do it?

I do it 'cause I like it. It's fun.

Well, look at that.

Even Triangle was known to stumble
backwards into wisdom from time to time.

You know, now that I think about it,
there's a lesson there, Circle.

What?

You should quit gardening
and take up juggling!

It's way more fun because the tomatoes
make a funny splatting noise

when they hit the ground.

Yeah, that was not
the wisdom I was talking about.

Well, see you later.

Hey, Square.

Hi, Circle. Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's okay now.

So, my cucumbers
didn't come out great this year.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But my lettuce actually looks really good.

They sure do.

Hey, you know,
if you have any extra veggies,

maybe we could combine our efforts,
have some fresh salad tonight.

Yes, of course. That sounds delightful.

I'm actually wondering
if my gates were strong enough.

It seems there was some nibbling.

Well, you know, I have a trick for that.
