[Eddy reading]

[both giggling]

-[grunts]
-Touchdown! Great throw, cousin JJ.

Touchdown! Eddy, go long.

[gulps] Mm.

Delicious.

[laughs]

Delicious.

[giggles] I think Eddy likes having
someone look up to him.

[Kodi] Literally.

[Dad grunts, chuckles]

Looks like your aunt and uncle
are almost done packing.

You ready to say goodbye to JJ

when they head back
to Longview, Washington?

Eddy is not ready.

Hmm. It's gonna be okay.

They'll be back to visit
before you know it.

I better get JJ down for a nap
before his big trip. Ready, JJ?

-[giggles] Blast off!
-[Dad] Blast off to dreamland!

I know you're gonna miss JJ,
but Dad's right. He'll be back.

Is there anything we can do?

We can find a way to make JJ stay.

We could tell him
there's a monster blocking the road.

Um, that's not what I meant.

[gasps] Hey, wait up!

Well, hello, Rangers. Everything okay?

We need you to be a monster.

[grunts] Sorry, what?

If there's a monster, our cousin JJ
won't be able to leave the park.

[growls] I am not a monster.

-[Mom] Bring that back.
-[gasps] Mom's coming!

[geese squawking]

Hey, kids. Have you seen my hat?
Or a gaggle of geese?

Or a gaggle of geese with my hat?

Yes, yes, and yes.

Thanks, kiddos.

I swear, the longer the geese stay,
the more mischief they get into.

They should've started migrating north,
but they're not leaving.

Why not?

I don't know, but hopefully they go soon.

They've already got
three of our hats, two cameras,

and the extra keys to the Ranger Station.

I need those!

[chuckles]

This is just what Eddy needs.

The case of the not-so-mysteriously
missing hat?

No, the mysterious geese non-migration.

It's the perfect distraction.
Hey, Eddy, if we go to Spirit Park,

maybe we can find out
why the geese aren't migrating.

But what about JJ?

We'll hurry and be back
before he wakes up from his nap.

[song ends]

-[animals honking sadly]
-Oh, good, you're here.

This you have to see to believe.

We have a very serious problem.

[chuckling] Oh, so serious.

[both] Huh?

[honking sadly]

[licks]

[honking]

Oof!

Oh, my gooseness!

That's right! Goofy goose galore.

Haku, we're the Spirit Rangers.

Are you okay?

Oh me, oh my.

[honks]

If we don't get going soon…

[honks]

…we'll have no time to fly.

[sneezes]

[honks sadly]

We've gotta catch the wind currents
before dark.

[honks] But our yearling
doesn't wanna leave the park.

-[honks]
-[blowing nose]

[stifles giggle] Uh...

[clears throat] All right,
how about we talk to your yearling?

We'll help them get ready to go.

On the move, on the go.
Oh, this delay has me worried so.

-[honks in alarm]
-[sneezes]

[yelling] Oof.

We better hurry.

[exciting music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[gasps] I think I see them!

-Huh?
-Hmm.

Ready, set, race.

Here goose nothing.

[honks, giggles]

Oof!

[laughing]

-Wait, wait, one more race.
-[laughing]

If you insist.

You must be the goofy goose.
Uh, I mean, the goose yearling.

[chuckles nervously]

Mom says the Samala Chumash
word for goose is wawa'w.

Dad says it's xixi in Cowlitz.
Which one do you go by?

Neither. I was born in Alaska,

so some places call me Ndalbay,
and others say Beleelzene,

but I go by
the Koyukon Athabascan Dets'ene.

Detzy for short.

And I'm Takak, the Chumash quail spirit.
How do you do?

Well, Detzy, your mom and dad
are getting a little worried.

They're waiting for you to fly north.

Aw, not yet. I want a little bit
more time with my bestie.

Then I'll be ready to say bye-sie.

Detzy's not ready? Eddy knows the feeling.

But what if
you didn't have to say goodbye?

[honks] Of course I do.
I have to fly north for the summer.

What if Takak went with you?
No goodbyes necessary.

Hmm, I do hate goodbyes.

As do I. But quails don't migrate.

I have turbo running speed,
but I get tired just flying up to a tree.

Don't worry,
the Spirit Rangers are here to help.

I'm not sure about this, Eddy.

Yeah. Quails aren't built for long flights
like geese are.

-They have short and adorable wings.
-We'll figure it out.

They have to stay together.

Okay. Let's see what we can do.

If we tie this here and here…

Kodi, can you help Takak up?

Whoa!

With this harness, Takak can hitch a ride,
and you two can stay together.

[panting excitedly]

Here we go. [grunts]

Here they don't.

[panting]

-Oh no!
-Hmm. Maybe with a bit of a boost.

Wind blast!

-Oh, my monocle!
-[Detzy] Whoa!

Sorry about that.

[Detzy yelling]

-Nope.
-[Detzy panting]

Oh no!

Takak is too heavy
for Detzy to carry to Alaska.

What about your turbo running speed?

You could run along the ground
and follow Detzy that way.

Now we're squawking.
I'm a really good runner.

[all yell]

Dust-nado.

[all coughing]

Oof. Hey! I was dust bathing.

How's that for quail power?

[triumphant music plays]

[honking]

That was quail-tastic!

But we cross a lot of water.
There's the big lake, the giant lake,

the little river, the big river,
the second big river.

-I don't like getting in the water.
-What if we whip up new wings?

Just like we did for Mouse. Summer?

On it!

-[grunting]
-[upbeat music playing]

-[Eddy giggles]
-Perfect, if I do say so myself.

Wow!

[chuckles]

[ominous music plays]

Quail power failing! Are we there yet?

-[wailing]
-[honks]

[screaming]

Oof!

Phew. That was exhausting.
I need to relax in my dust bath.

-Mm. Ah.
-The best kind of bath.

Thanks, Eddy, but it's not gonna work.

It's okay. We get separated every year.

It's not okay. Don't give up now.
We'll think of something.

-This is it.
-You want me to jump off a cliff?

No, we'll make a giant catapult

so you can get high enough
to catch the wind currents.

If you're at that end,
we can get Buffalo to jump off the cliff,

and land on the opposite side--

You want me to do what?
No, thank you. [huffs]

Please! Please! Pretty please
with a buffalo wing on top.

I can't ignore the buffalo wing plea,
so, fine, I'll do it.

-[suspenseful music playing]
-This is so undignified. And terrifying.

Buffalo wings!

Don't make me look. Nope!

[all scream]

-[grunts]
-[screams]

[groans]

-[Takak groaning]
-Did my buffalo wings work?

-Rangers? Where'd you go?
-[Kodi] Under here.

[Lizard] Ahem. Uh…

There.

-Freedom!
-[all groaning]

-Ow.
-Much better.

-Never moving again.
-[Buffalo grunts]

Oh no! No, no! Ooh!

This is why
I should be left out of all schemes.

[coughs]

[honks excitedly] Here.
I think you lost these.

No, no, these are yours.

[both chuckling]

-[Takak] Sorry, Eddy, but I'm done.
-Me too. No more. I'm goosed out.

But you won't be together all summer.
Won't you miss each other?

Sure, but we've done this before.

The seasons may change,
but our friendship stays the same.

I do hate to say bye-sies…

But we love our awesome reunions-ies.

[hopeful music playing]

[geese squawking]

Thanks for an unforgooseable last day
at Spirit Park!

See you next season, Detzy!

-Don't get too dizzy, Detzy!
-Have a safe flight!

Bye!

[squawking]

You were too young to remember,

but we've had to say goodbye
every year JJ visits.

It's hard, but we know
we'll see him again soon.

The last time JJ came back,
they brought fun things for us.

Like a cedar rattle that looks like
a Cowlitz canoe paddle. That was awesome.

Ooh! Mementos are a great way
to remember someone.

Detzy gave me a goose feather this year.

I know just what to give JJ.
Let's get back. Eddy is ready!

Don't wanna go. I'm gonna miss you.

I'm going to miss you too.

But when you come back,
it'll be huckleberry season again.

Mm! The best season.

Next time you visit, we can watch
the great geese migration together.

What do you say?

Honk, honk!

That's right, silly goose.

[Summer] Aw!

[Summer and Kodi giggling]

-[Kodi reading]
-[pleasant music playing]

First-aid kit?

[Summer] Check.

-Favorite modern music facts?
-Double-check.

Cheese in a can?

-Hmm. I thought we packed that.
-[munching]

Oh, you did!

[chuckling] Lizard, Coyote.
If we eat all the cheese now,

we're not gonna have any left
for our big history hike.

[mouth full] What's this hike
about anyway?

-[smacking lips]
-Please be cheese.

[giggles] No, 'Onokok. It's music.

Pop quiz, Summer.
Who are your three favorite musicians?

Supaman, Raye Zaragoza and Redbone.

I didn't even need to look
at the cue cards for that one.

-Ah, I remember my first history hike…
-[gasps]

…like it was yesterday.

Are you excited to talk about music?

-Yeah!
-Super excited!

Eddy is ready!

That's great, Rangers.

The first Xus Park history hike
of the season

is always about traditional Chumash music.

Your mom talked about clapper sticks,

and I showed off our shell rattles
when we were Junior Rangers.

You'll keep the tradition going, right?

Uh…

-[hesitantly] Yeah.
-Right.

You Junior Rangers
are gonna make me so proud.

Ooh! Canned cheese. My favorite.

[chuckles]

-[air hisses]
-Hmm.

This can's empty.

I'll get you a fresh one
from the Ranger Station.

See you at the trail.

-[Kodi] Bye.
-Bye, DeeDee.

Uh-oh. There's nothing about Chumash music
on my cue cards.

What are we gonna do?

We prepared a whole history hike
about modern music.

I know. But I don't wanna break tradition.

Or disappoint DeeDee.

[frogs croaking]

I have never heard frogs this loud before.

-Are they okay?
-Of course! They're rehearsing.

The waqaq' spirits
have a big frog concert tonight.

-Waqaq' means "frog" in Samala.
-[croaking continues]

This is music?

[sighs] The oldest and most beautiful.

We can check it out
before our hike starts.

Come on!

Oh yeah, baby.

Break it down, frogs.

Hoo! Hoo!

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

-[dramatic music plays]
-[all] Whoa!

-[frog croaks]
-[all] Ah!

Who is that?

Leaping lizards!

[Coyote] That's the great waqaq' spirit.

He's the best traditional frog musician
in Spirit Park.

That's right, Xuxa'w.

Me and my frog-tourage
were singing frog melodies

-before the lake was even created.
-[gasps]

It might sound
like croaks and ribbits to you,

but to us it's as smooth as frog slime.

Isn't that right, frogs?

[croaking rhythmically]

Tradition is everything to us frogs.

Hi, great waqaq' spirit.
We're the Spirit Rangers.

That was the best frog music
I've ever heard.

[hesitantly] Well, it was
the only frog music that I've ever heard.

We're music experts.
Human music specifically.

[laughs]

If you love it so much,

why don't you perform human music
at the start of my frog concert?

We'll see which is best.
Spoiler: It's frog music.

-Yes!
-Stoodis!

Eddy's ready… to rock!

You just stepped in pond scum,

because you're up against the flyest
musician since Croaky Sainte-Marie.

Hey, Junior!

My son, Ribbit Junior.

Haku. Today's my frog concert debut,
but there's room for more.

It's tradition for the youngest frog
to perform frog music.

And, oh, do I love tradition.

You got this, Junior.

Thanks, Dad. I better practice.

We'll practice with you.

Yeah. I don't know much about frog music,
but I love to help.

We can practice for the concert together.

Okay. Let's hop to it.

[Kodi] Breathe in.

[inhales deeply]

[Kodi] Breathe out.

[all breathing deeply]

Nice, everyone.

Our favorite musicians
do breathing exercises before their shows

to get ready.

That's how Supaman raps so fast.

Did you say Supaman?
He's one of my favorite human musicians.

-What?
-Really?

You listen to human music too?

-That's so cool.
-Yeah.

[sighs] I love frog music,
but I also love learning about new styles.

I wish I could perform human music
at the concert tonight.

Well, why don’t you?

I don't think my dad
would want me to break tradition.

What if you do both?
You can perform with us.

Yeah, we'll teach you
everything about human music.

But what if my dad sees me?

Hmm, we'll give you a disguise.
No one will recognize you.

-Not even Waqaq. What do you say?
-I'll ribbit to that.

As a super fresh b-boy and a turtle,

I can tell you that breakdancing
is all in the shell.

-Yeah!
-Um, okay.

-[hip-hop beat playing]
-Here goes.

This is fun. Dizzy but fun.

[all laughing happily]

When playing air guitar,
you've got to put your own style into it.

See?

[imitating guitar solo]

[all imitating guitar solo]

What style are you bringing?

-How about… froggy style!
-[rock music playing]

Awesome.

Rock and ribbit, man.

If human musicians
really wanna finish big, they crowd surf.

Watch.

Careful, Summer!

-[geckos chirp]
-[Summer giggles]

See? Now, you try.

-[suspenseful music playing]
-[chirping]

[exhales deeply]

Let's leap.

Whee!

I did it! Thanks, geckos.

And now it's Coyote's turn. Catch me!

-[dramatic music plays]
-[laughs]

-Uh…
-[thuds]

-[groans]
-[laughs] I knew I always liked geckos.

And finally, if you really wanna look
like a human musician,

you need some
totally unnecessary sunglasses.

-Awesome.
-It's perfect.

I look so…

cool!

[grunts]

-Whoo!
-Whoa!

Awesome!

-Okay, I need to learn that move.
-[chuckles]

Amazing.

Spirit Park, it's time to rock out
human-style!

Welcome to this year's
frog-alicious frog concert.

-[animals cheer]
-Before we get to traditional frog music,

the Spirit Rangers and their friends
are here to perform human music.

If you could call that music.

[all chuckling]

You're sure my dad won't recognize me?

You got this.

Once your dad sees how great you are
at human music and frog music,

he’ll be so happy.

[Eddy] Mm.

[sighs]

Okay. Let's rock!

-Yeah.
-Let's go.

Everyone put your webbed hands together
for the Spirit Rangers.

Are you ready for some human music?

[cheering]

Born ready, baby.

A one, a two, a one, two--

-Ah!
-[all gasp]

-Oh no!
-Oh no, my disguise!

[all gasp]

Junior? My Junior?

-Uh…
-[gulps]

A jacket? Totally unnecessary sunglasses?

Were you about to perform human music?

What about frog music? Our tradition?

I, um…

-I--
-You can do it!

I believe in you!

Dad, I love human music
as much as I love frog music.

[all gasp]

I know frog music is our tradition,
but what if we start a new one?

[water sloshing ominously]

-[croaking]
-[chuckles nervously]

-[suspenseful music playing]
-[croaking]

Sorry for breaking our tradition.

I know how much it means to you.

No. It-- It's not that.
I just want you to be happy.

I'm always going to support you,
for old and new traditions.

I'm proud of you, no matter what.

You mean it?

Toad-ally.

Thanks, Dad. And thank you for helping me
believe in myself, Spirit Rangers.

[chuckles]

And thank you for helping us start
a new frog-alicious tradition of our own.

Human music isn't all bad.

I might even try it myself.

-[twangs]
-Ugh.

[coughs]

I might need more practice.

[all chuckling]

[birds chirping]

Mm. Mm!

Oh, hey, Rangers.

Have you decided
what kind of Chumash music

you'll talk about on your history hike?

DeeDee, can we talk to you
about something?

[chuckles]

We know tradition is important,

and we can talk about Chumash music
on our history hike if you want.

But we were wondering

if maybe we could share modern music facts
with our visitors instead.

Please? We spent all month
memorizing music facts and everything.

Oh, well, why didn't you tell me earlier?

The old ways will be here
when you're ready.

But today, go have some fun.

-Yay!
-Thank you!

[Eddy] Thanks, DeeDee.

And if you're looking for recommendations,
you should talk about Taboo.

Hoo! His music makes me wanna shake
what the Creator gave me.

[chuckles] I still got it!

-[frogs croaking]
-[pleasant music playing]

Hmm. I wonder what's got
the frogs so worked up.

They're probably
just asking for an encore.

One of our favorite things
about modern music

is when it uses traditional songs
and sounds to make something new.
