Mr. Sparks: The night
was quiet,
the school empty,
and after a busy day
of training
at Hero Elementary,
my students were back
for more!
- Fur Blur, where are you?
[whooshes]
- Fear not!
We shall find you and save you.
- You know she's not really
in trouble, right?
This is basically
hamster hide-and-seek.
- [squeaks]
- Sí, but it's also
great training
for nighttime rescues.
[car horn honks]
Oh, here's the rest
of the class now.
- Bye, Papi.
Hasta luego!
Sorry we're late.
We had to wait for Papi
to get home
so he could drive us.
[cell phone rings]
- Hello?
Yes, we just got here.
Okay.
See you later.
Bye.
My parents.
They worry about me.
- Mine, too!
My dad thought I might
get hungry,
so he made me a little snack.
- Whoa!
What does a big snack
look like?
- You do not want to know.
- [laughs]
Well, we're all here now,
so we can get back
to nighttime rescue training.

There must be trouble.
- [squeaks]
- Help!
There's a monster!
- Monster?
There's no such thing

We're here to help.
- Oh, come here, Bitsy.
- Mr. Quivers, can you describe
exactly what you saw?
- Hmm?
The monster was all gray
and hairy...
- Thought projecting!
- With sharp teeth...
and lots of eyes.
Whoa!
Oh.
Uh, something like that,

for a moment.
Oh, and it made
weird clicking sounds.

- You don't really think
there's a monster back here,

Lucita: No, Sara,
but Mr. Quivers
must've seen something.
- How can we figure out
what he saw?
- I know!
We can use our...
all: Superpowers of Science!
- Let's start by observing.
Yeah, we can look around to see
what we notice.
Whoa!
Ow.

Pretty hard to observe
in the dark.
- Not for me.
I brought
my Night Vision Goggles.

♪ ♪
[energetic swing music]
- Ah!
- Got you.
Aww, it's okay, AJ.
It's just a mother opossum
and her babies.
- How do you know?
- I read about opossums
in a book.
I've always wanted to see one.
- And now you've seen...
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven!
- Why do you think
she's carrying her babies
like that?
- Maybe to keep them safe.
They are pretty small.
Maybe they can't walk
very well yet.
- Yeah, maybe she gives them
a ride,
like how my papi gave us
a ride to school tonight.
[gasps]
She's like an opossum minivan.
[laughter]
- Mr. Quivers will be happy
to hear
there's nothing to worry about.
- [squeaks]
- There's six of them?
- Plus the mother.
- Seven?
Seven monsters!
- No, not monsters.
They're just--
- Well, whatever you call them,
they're after Bitsy!
Just look at her.
She's terrified.
- [whimpers]
- Don't worry, sir.
We'll take care of it.
- Oh, good.
We'll be inside.
- We tried to explain,
but he still thinks
he has a monster problem.
- It isn't a monster,
but it is a problem.
- Yeah, Bitsy's really scared,
and when animals are scared,
sometimes they do bite
or scratch
to protect themselves.
- Oh.
What if Bitsy gets so scared
that she hurts
the mother opossum?
- [gasps]
Or the babies?
- That would be terrible.
- Aww, why'd the mama opossum
have to pick this yard, anyway?
- Good question, Benny.
- There must be something here
that she likes.
Let's keep observing
to see what we notice.
- [sniffs]
Uh, I notice something.
[shudders]
Garbage.
- Speaking of garbage,
Sara: Eww.
Is that really
what opossums eat?
Ugh.
- In that book I read,
it said they're not picky.
In the wild, they eat plants,
fruit, bugs, and snails,
but in the city, they eat
whatever they can find.
AJ: Including dog food.
- Ah, the babies like it, too.
Maybe that's why she's here:
to get food for her babies.
Sara: Aww, just like
my dad does for me.
- Hmm.
If she's here for the food,
I wonder what would happen
if all this food was gone.
- I guess she'd have to leave
to find food somewhere else.
- And she and Bitsy
wouldn't scare each other
anymore.
- So what are you saying?

- Aww, why'd the mama opossum
have to pick this yard, anyway?

- There must be something here

Let's keep observing

Uh, I notice something.
[shudders]
Garbage.
- Speaking of garbage,
Sara: Eww.
Is that really
what opossums eat?
Ugh.
- In that book I read,
it said they're not picky.
In the wild, they eat plants,
fruit, bugs, and snails,
but in the city, they eat
whatever they can find.
AJ: Including dog food.
- Ah, the babies like it, too.
Maybe that's why she's here:
to get food for her babies.
Sara: Aww, just like
my dad does for me.
- Hmm.
If she's here for the food,
I wonder what would happen
if all this food was gone.
- I guess she'd have to leave
to find food somewhere else.
- And she and Bitsy
wouldn't scare each other
anymore.
