Vixey's Firsts
[On the way to Crystal Bayou for Vixey's baptism...]

Quacker: QUACK! Breaking news! The Villains Club is dead!

Buttons, Rusty and their folks: DEAD!?

Quacker: YES!

[Their folks rejoice and celebrate]

Rusty: How did they die?

Quacker: May I explain how this happened?

[In a flashback, in Attica]

Quacker: [narrates] Back in Attica, Syco, Lord Morlock, Claude, and Lenny Stapp and Lulu decided that have had enough of Zak, Gourmad, Delilah and Patty's gripes over their defeat to us good critters.

[Syco slithers out of Attica while Morlock and his gang teleport out]

Quacker: [narrates] So, Syco and Morlock along with his gang decide to get out of prison to avoid dealing with the Villains Club's griping any longer. While Claude decided to come up with a plan to stop their griping.

[The pruno truck arrives at Attica]

Quacker: [narrates] So, after the pruno truck arrived at Attica, Claude decided to mix poison with the pruno in Zak, Gourmad, Delilah, Patty, Dario, Reg, Zeke and Wescott's cups.

Claude: Crush, you want to help me?

Crush: Nah, Mom told me it's not right for me to do that.

Claude: Okay, suit yourself, my spoiled nephew!

[Claude mixes the poison with the pruno. Later, in the cafeteria, Claude sits with the Villains Club about to drink their pruno.]

Wescott: Well, this is lovely.

Zeke: Interesting beverages.

Dario: Most kind.

Reg: Oh boy, we drink!

Quacker: [narrates] After the Villains Club drank the poison-mixed pruno...

[While the Villains Club drink the poison-mixed pruno, Claude watches as he drinks his non-poison-mixed pruno]

Quacker: [narrates] ...they choked and then they died.

[Wescott, Zeke, Dario, and Reg start to groan in pain]

Delilah: Dario! Would you shut it?!

Patty: Uh-oh, I think he, Reg, Zeke, and Wescott drank poison-mixed pruno!

Gourmad: What?!

[Gourmad, Delilah, Patty, and Zak start to groan in pain as well]

Delilah: [weakly] Oh no, I d-don't...feel...so...good!

[Wescott dies, falling to the floor first, then Dario, then Reg and then Zeke]

Gourmad: [weakly] Now...I'll...never...cook...endangered...animals...again!

[Gourmad falls to the floor dying]

Delilah: [weakly] I'll...see...you...in...the...afterlife,...Zak.

[Delilah falls to the floor dying]

Patty: [weakly] At...least...I...won't...be...seeing...nature...anymore!

[Patty falls to the floor dying]

Zak: [weakly] The...Villains...Club...is...no...more!

[Zak falls to the floor dying]

[The warden comes in and sees what happened]

Warden: What happened?

Claude: I was tired of their griping.

Warden: [understandingly] Huh, what a coincidental excuse, so was I.

[Back to the present]

Quacker: Despite the warden buying the excuse, Claude was sentenced to death row for murder.

[The good critters cheer]

Buttons: YEAH! No more Vaderman!

Rusty: No more Gourmad!

Frisky: No more Denara!

Bearbette: No more Parker!

Rusty: And no more hearing "Chucklewood Litters." 'Cause we are...

All: CHUCKLEWOOD CRITTERS!

[Cheers and applause]

Sarah: No more fat chef!

...

[Vixey's Baptism]

Omar: Will you nurture Vixey in the world?

George, Rosie and Rusty: By teaching and example, we will guide her to accept God's grace for herself to profess her faith openly, and to lead a Christian life.

[Omar pours water in a bowl and stirs it with his hands]

Omar: Pour out your Holy Spirit, to bless this gift of water and those who receive it, to wash away their sin and clothe them in righteousness throughout their lives that dying and being raised with Christ, they may share in his final victory.

[George and Rosie give Vixey to Omar who removes the pall and lays his hands on Vixey]

Omar: Vixey, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

[He puts Vixey in the bowl for five seconds. He then raises Vixey up.]

Omar: The Holy Spirit works within you, that being born through water and the Spirit, you may be a faithful disciple of God.

[He takes a dab of olive oil and draws a cross on Vixey's forehead]

Omar: Vixey, you are sealed by the Holy Spirit in baptism and marked as God's own forever.

[He then puts a robe on Vixey]

Omar: Receive these new clothes as a token of the new life that is given in God.

Miss Love Talks To Parents About Friendship
Miss Love: [introducing a simulation of a fox and a dog] Sometimes, a friend can become an enemy. Take a fox and dog for an example.

[The simulation begins]

Miss Love: One day, a little fox wandered around the woods until he came to an old cabin in which he saw a dog. The dog wakes up from his dog house and smells the fox's scent. You see? He has a strong sense of smell. The dog then finds the fox near the end of a log.

Fox: Whatcha smelling?

Dog: I'm on the trail of something.

Fox: What are you tracking?

Dog: Why...it's you.

[In the school]

Miss Love: How would you feel if you see someone approaching you?

[Pause for two minutes for responses]

[In the simulation, the fox and dog laugh together. A montage is shown.]

Miss Love: So, the fox and the dog laughed and became friends and played together every day. Aren't they two special? That reminds me of a song that my father taught me.

[sings You Are Special from Mister Rogers as the montage continues]

You are my friend

You are special

You are my friend

You're special to me.

You are the only one like you.

Like you, my friend, I like you.

In the daytime

In the nighttime

Any time that you feel the right time

For a friendship with me, you see

F-R-I-E-N-D special.

You are my friend

You're special to me.

[Back to the school]

Miss Love: There's only one in this wonderful world...

You...are....special.

[not singing] Friends are very special. They can not only play together, they can talk with each other about all kinds of things. They can even help each other. What does your friend like to do?

...

Miss Love: It's very important to know that when you start to grow older, your days of playtime will start to fade away. This is sometimes called maturing. For instance, in the winter, the dog was training with his hunter, who was a hunting dog. As hunting dogs can track down foxes, the fox and the dog became natural enemies. Here's what happened as the two reached adulthood with the dog becoming a hunting dog.

[In the simulation...]

Fox: Hey, it's me.

Dog: It's great to see you. You know you shouldn't be here.

Fox: Well, I just wanted to see you. We're still friends, are we?

Dog: [makes a sad glare] Those days are over. I'm a hunting dog now.

[The fox becomes surprised, then feels sad]

Fox: [cries] Okay, nice knowing you. [runs away]

Dog: [sniffles] Nice knowing you too.

[Back at the school]

Miss Love: Most of the time, a friend will stop playing with you and moves on to new things like going out to ball games, doing homework together. In addition, if a boy and girl were friends together, they can get married, just like the cub couples. We'll discuss more about that in a later episode. Sometimes a friend has to move away for a very special reason. Take Sarah for example.

[Clips from A New Burrow and a Child are shown]

Miss Love: In last season, she was very upset when Skipper and Bluebell moved away to adopt a child named Thippy. They have matured from babysitting as a result of this and transitioned to forming a family. Near the end of the episode, Sarah cried continuously throughout the day until Bearbette and Frisky decided to become her new babysitters.

[Back to the present]

Miss Love: How would you feel if a friend moves away?

[Pause for five minutes]

Miss Love: Sometimes many of your childhood toys such as swings, car toys, balls, or even your dollhouse will be donated to donation stores or being sold at yard sales. In addition, when a sibling moves away such as going out of the country or after graduating from High School, he or she will probably give the room to his younger one. Last season, Abner and George converted Buttons and Rusty's secret shortcut into the baby room because the Fox family is beginning to get bigger. Even when a friend moves away, the friendship never ends. Here's a preview of the next episode, which explains this.

...

Moving Out Is Hard To Do
[A meeting with the boy cubs' folks...]

Rosie: George, the boys are all grown-up now. They are free for whatever they do. And Vixey is getting ready to move from a crib to a bed.

George: But the cave doesn't have enough room for a bedroom for Vixey.

Bridgette: I believe it's time to move on our separate ways.

Quacker: Quack! Telegram for Bridgette.

[Quacker hands telegram to Bridgette]

Bridgette: "Bridgette: Mom is in hospice care and lost her support to assisted living. I urge you to move to Sweet Water Valley to live with me so we can be with her. - Francine" [not reading] Oh no. My mother is losing her assisted living. Her doctors say that me and Francine need to be with her.

Abner: Moving to Sweet Water Valley?

Bridgette: Yes, Abner. [hugs Abner] I don't know when I'll be back. I'll stay in touch.

...

George: I think we should convert the secret shortcut into an apartment for Buttons.

Abner: That will work.

...

[After a serious argument between the girl cubs' folks]

Darwin: I don't need anyone to protect me, now that Bearbette and Frisky are now women.

Bearnadine: B-b-b-but, Darwin--

Darwin: I AM THROUGH! THIS IS THE END! [storms out of the cave]

[Bearnadine cries]

...

[Days later...]

[Bearbette and Frisky walk back to the cave and see a letter.]

Bearbette: [reading] Bearbette: "Your father and I have been divorced. I have no idea where your father is right now. I have moved to my very own place in Chucklewood. You and Frisky are now the women of the cave. I will see you again soon. I hope. - Mama." [not reading] Oh my! I wonder what happened?

Frisky: I don't know.

[She and Bearbette walk into their bedroom]

Bearbette: At least our beds are still there.

...

[Bearbette walks Sarah home from school]

Bearbette: What did you do in school today?

Sarah: In school today, we visited the library, where we learned how to use the library. We got a library card, which is the most important thing you need to borrow books.

[She shows Bearbette said card]

Bearbette: Wow! What book did you check out?

Sarah: [...]

Bearbette: I remember reading that book when I was young. I'll read it to you--

[Suddenly, she sees her father tied up in ropes]

Bearbette: Oh no! Pop!

[She runs to her father who feels him]

Bearbette: Pop!

[No answer...]

Bearbette: POP! Wake up! This is no time for a nap!

[Randal approaches her]

Randal: Bearbette!

Bearbette: Randal, what's going on?

Randal: I saw that Morlock captured him for ransom when I was out on my morning walk.

Bearbette: [gasps] WHAT!?

...

[Darwin's Cave]

Darwin: You see the reason why me and your mother got divorced?

Bearbette: Why's that?

Darwin: Your mother got into a serious argument with me after you and Frisky became women.

Buttons: Why's that? My mom decided to move to Sweet Water Valley to be with my Aunt Francine and my grandma. My pop moved into a new home for an unexplained reason.

Bearbette: Mama gave me and Frisky our cave and she moved into a new place. I don't know where she is.

Buttons: Darwin, listen to me, it's never too late for you and Bearnadine to get remarried. Besides, even though my mom and pop now live in separate homes, they remain married.

Darwin: Really?

Bearbette: We gotta find mama. So you can apologize to her.

Daydream Believer Of The Homecoming Queen
[As Syco enters the courtyard, he begins to chew on the class float]

Buttons: [gasps] Oh my gosh!

Johnny: The float!

[The class then runs after the snake who hisses at Sarah and then goes inside her dress]

Sarah: [stammering] RUSTY! HELP!

Rusty: [gasps] SARAH!

[Syco chews on Sarah's rear end and she screams to frighten Syco away. Rusty then attempts to tackle the snake but he slithers very fast.]

Syco: You can't catch me, Chucklewood pests!

[The boys then chase him, destroying the gym and football field, and setting up the fire alarm. The entire school is evacuated. Syco hisses and slithers away.]

Johnny: We better call Chief Hamilton.

...

[Sarah is down the floor, Rusty feels her]

Rusty: Sarah?

[He sees bite marks on Sarah's face who briefly wakes up]

Sarah: R..r...r..usty? Help me.

[Frisky lifts up Sarah's dress and looks at bite marks throughout her body. She sees her middle covered up in green substance.]

Frisky: Oh no! Gee, that snake really damaged her good. Turn her over, Rusty.

[Rusty turns Sarah (off-camera) over and shows her backside.]

Frisky: Oh my! Look at her butt. I've never seen a bad critter bite Sarah's butt before.

[He turns her over to show her front and points to her stomach]

Rusty: [to Frisky] Looks like the Sarah spot is not kissable. We've got to get her to Macquarie. [to Johnny] Johnny, grab me a stretcher.

Frisky: Bearbette, you and Buttons see Randal. Maybe he can help repair the school.

...

[Mr. Pines' Office]

[Mr. Pines, Hamilton and Lt. Scott review the videotape.]

Mr. Pines: How the heck did a snake slither into the school?

Hamilton: Might be a hole in the vent.

Lt. Scott: Wait! Rewind and go back.

[Mr. Pines rewinds the tape to where Syco slithered into the school. He then pauses it.]

Lt. Scott: Whoa! That snake really bit a hole in the vent.

[The videotape fast forwards to where Syco bit Sarah]

Mr. Pines: Oh boy! I've never seen a snake bite a critter before.

Hamilton: Some bad critters can bite good critters, Mr. Pines.

[A scene where Syco damages the football field and gym are show]

Mr. Pines: Oh my! He went on a rampage....destroying all of our sports facilities. Luckily, he didn't damage the practice facility. It's going to take a whole lot of money to get the school repair. And homecoming is Friday.

Lt. Scott: Looks like homecoming is in serious jeopardy.

Hamilton: We better call the HSFA and see what they can do.

Mr. Pines: Schedule a press conference.

...

[Critter Hospital, Dr. Macquarie looks at Sarah's front side.]

Dr. Macquarie: Oh my! [Using a magnifying glass, she examines her stomach] Complete poison-filled.

[She gets her X-ray machine out]

[In the waiting room, Rusty and Frisky are waiting for the results]

Frisky: I remember Sarah was poisoned by Syco.

Rusty: The rabbits did a good job recovering her.

[Dr. Macquarie approaches then]

Dr. Macquarie: Rusty? Frisky?

Frisky: Yes?

Dr. Macquarie: Sarah is going to spend a few days here.

Rusty: WHAT!? WHY!?

Dr. Macquarie: [shows an x-ray of Sarah] There are snake bite marks throughout her entire body, even on her rear end. Her belly is completely covered up in poison. [points to her middle] See that green mark?

Frisky: [gasps] Oh no!

[Rusty looks at the x-ray]

Rusty: Darn! It's Syco all right. Snake bite marks are so strong. [looks at Sarah's stomach] He licked her stomach.

Dr. Macquarie: It's going to take lots of time to get her body healed and have her belly be back to normal.

Frisky: Does this mean she'll have to miss Homecoming weekend?

Dr. Macquarie: Maybe. We will just have to wait and see.

Rusty: Come on Frisk, we got to report this to Aunt Stacy and Uncle Dennis.

[Sarah's cave, Rusty and Frisky talk to Stacy and Dennis]

Stacy: WHAT!? My beautiful girl got bitten and poisoned by Syco!?

[Dennis looks at the x-ray]

Dennis: Oh my! Those bite marks are really violent. I've never seen a critter bite Sarah's butt before.

Stacy: And look at that. [looks at Sarah's stomach] Why can a snake poison the Sarah spot?

Dennis: I believe he licked it so strong.

Rusty: Dr. Macquarie said she'll need to spend in the hospital for a few days.

Stacy: [gasps] She is going to miss school for a few days and Wednesday is Swim Day.

Dennis: Next Wednesday, Stacy!

Stacy: Phew!

Frisky: She may probably miss Homecoming this week. Johnny and Robin are on the Homecoming Court and are building their class float.

Dennis: I better write up a note to Miss Love. [does so]

Rusty: Not only Syco bit Sarah, but he also damaged Johnny and Robin's class float, the stadium, just about the whole school.

Stacy: That is terrible!

Frisky: Buttons and Bearbette are getting Randal for some help on how he could fix the damage.

...

[Press Conference]

Chairman: Mr. Boyett, Mr. Gurd, Miss McCobb, tell me the story.

Johnny: Well, we are at the courtyard building our class float. Our float was 1/4 complete.

David: While we were taking a dinner break, Syco surprisingly appeared and began a rampage on the class floats.

Chairman: And then what happened?

Robin: Then, after he damaged the floats. We began to chase him and went inside one of my friends' cousins. He bit her in the butt just everywhere. He even poisoned her belly.

Mr. Pines: How unusual.

Johnny: We tried to stop Syco but he slithered away and damaged the stadium.

Hamilton: We tried to get that snake but he kept slithering away.

Mr. Pines: The snake eventually caused us $18,000 worth of damage.

Superintendent: It's going to take days to get the school back in operation.

Coach Mann: How on earth are we going to play football? My team practices three and a half hours a day because Chateau is undefeated.

Chairman: Well, here's the situation: Your homecoming game is scheduled for Saturday at 2:00 p.m. You have until Friday at 5:00 p.m. to repair the damage and get the stadium ready for the game. If by chance, it is not repaired by that time frame, the game will be forfeited and the victory will be awarded to Chateau.

...

[Randal's]

[Randal looks through pictures of the damage.]

Randal: My word. That was hundreds of dollars in damage.

Buttons: Yes, Randal. The snake really did all the hard work to destroy the stadium.

Rusty: And bit my cousin. She's in the hospital.

Randal: Well, this is going to be a tough plan to repair it all.

[Suddenly, Bearbette's critter phone rings (playing a snippet of The Bayou Critters Romp). Bearbette answers it.]

Bearbette: Hello?

Robin: Hi, Bearbette. It's Robin. Listen, Johnny and I had a meeting with Mr. Pines and the officials about what happened last night.

[Bearbette puts the critter phone on speakerphone]

Robin: Syco caused $18,000 worth of damage.

All critters: WHAT!?

Robin: The chairman told us that the school must be repaired by 5:00 p.m. on Friday. If not, the game will be forfeited and we will not have Homecoming.

Frisky: We are at Randal's and he is looking for a solution to repair the school.

Robin: Oh, really?

Randal: [looks through his spell book] Oh, here is one. "Atoraa Mezooka." A spell that can help repair parade floats. This should do the trick. I'll have it ready by tomorrow.

Rusty: Thanks, Randal.

...

[Critter Hospital]

[In an operating room, Dr. Macquarie's crew performs operations on Sarah to remove the bites while the other puts a tube on her middle. One examiner sedates her.]

Sarah: [whispering] Rusty.

...

[A montage is shown between repairing the school, rebuilding the class float, and the Homecoming Court rehearsal set to Daydream Believer. As the song ends, at Sarah's cave, just as Stacy and Dennis get ready for bed.]

Stacy's Critter Phone: Ring-ring-ring! Ring-ring-ring! Phone call! Phone call!

Dennis: Huh!?

Stacy: Who is calling us while we're getting ready for bed? [looks at her phone and sees "CRITTER HOSPITAL"] It's Macquarie! [answers it] Hello?

Dr. Macquarie: Stacy? Dennis?

Stacy: Dr. Macquarie! Oh! You woke us up while we were getting ready for bed.

Dr. Macquarie: I have great news for you. Sarah is recovered!

Stacy: Oh my gosh!

Dr. Macquarie: The procedure took four days. She is good as new. Can you two come to the hospital?

Stacy and Dennis: Yes! Let's go!

[At the critter hospital, Dr. Macquarie brings Sarah (riding on a stretcher) to her folks]

Sarah: [gasps] Mommy! Daddy! [leaps out of the stretcher who rubs both of her folks' stomachs]

Stacy: [giggling] Sarah! I am so happy you are back to normal!

Dennis: [laughs] My little mermaid. You're all better!

Dr. Macquarie: The procedure took only four days. My experts manage to take every step to heal the bites and various antidotes to remove the poison off of her stomach.

[Sarah lifts up her hospital gown to expose her now recovered stomach]

Sarah: See? No bite marks.

Stacy: That's my girl!

[She rubs Sarah's stomach who giggles and kisses it]

Dr. Macquarie: Oh, you love kissing Sarah's belly.

Stacy: Yep.

Sarah: [pointing to her middle] That's the Sarah spot.

Dr. Macquarie: I think you should go home now. It's getting late.

Stacy: With a good night's rest, she'll be ready for the Homecoming festivities!

...

[While lining up for the parade]

[A critter covered up walks around the staging area. The critter approaches Johnny and Robin's float.]

Frisky: Hey, Rust. What's that?

[Rusty unwraps the blanket, revealing only the stomach and examining it]

Rusty: I know that belly! I know who that spot is. Frisky, get me an ice pack.

[Frisky gives Rusty an ice pack and covers up the middle. He hears a familiar giggle. He removes the ice pack, rubs the stomach and Sarah unwraps herself]

Rusty and Frisky: Sarah!

Sarah: [giggles] I'm cured!

[Just as she attempts to press Frisky's stomach, she notices that Frisky and Rusty are wearing sweaters and pants]

Sarah: Gee, why are your bellies covered up?

Rusty: It's fall weather and you should wear a sweater to keep it warm and protected,

Sarah: But my lucky belly is recovered. [lifts up her cheerleader outlet to reveal the rest of her stomach] See? Bite marks are gone. The belly is poison-free. I'm cured!

[Rusty gives her a sweater and puts it on]

Rusty: Frisky and I will give you a belly rub when we get home.

Frisky: And a kiss on the Sarah spot too.

Rusty: Come ride with us on the class float.

[Crowning The Homecoming Queen]

[My Girl is played by the Marching Band, as the homecoming court marches down one at a time:

Robin/Johnny

Lucy/David

Erica/Tony

Mona/Timothy

Barbara/Nicolas]

Mr. Pines: And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. The crowning of the homecoming queen. The queen will be crowned by last year's queen, Melissa Hope.

[Melissa walks down and takes off her crown]

Mr. Pines: Ms. Hope, your reign as Homecoming Queen has come to an end. And now, we will like to announce our first runner up. Our first runner up is.......Robin McCobb!

[Applause]

Mr. Pines: And now, the Homecoming Queen is......Erica Smith!

[Cheers and applause]

[Melissa puts the crown on Erica's head and Erica is given the banner and flowers and sits in the Homecoming Queen chair. In the Press Box.]

Mr. Faust: Mr. Pines, there's been a mistake. Robin McCobb is the homecoming queen. Not Erica Smith.

Mr. Pines: It's got to be Harvey who changed the cards! He's nothing but a troublemaker.

[Mr. Faust hands Mr. Pines the correct result card and quickly walks down to the football field near the Homecoming Queen Chair.]

Mr. Pines: Okay, folks. I do have to apologize.

[The crowd reacts]

Mr. Pines: The first runner up is Miss Smith.

[The crowd reacts, Robin reacts to this.]

Robin: [mouthing] I am Homecoming Queen!?

Mr. Pines: The homecoming Queen is...Miss McCobb!

[Robin cups her mouth and walks to the Homecoming Queen chair. Melissa stands between Erica and Robin.]

Mr. Pines: Listen, folks. This is what's exactly on the card. I won't take any responsibility for this. It was my mistake. It was on the card. [shows the audience the card] The first runner up is Miss Smith. It is my mistake.

[Melissa removes the crown and banner of Erica and puts them on Robin. Robin then sits on the Homecoming queen chair.]

...

Robin's First Job
LeMar: Hi, Robin.

Robin: Hi, LeMar.

LeMar: What can I help you with today?

Robin: I am interested in being a temporary librarian.

LeMar: You don't have to take my word for it. Come with me.

[Robin goes into LeMar's office]

LeMar: The reason I needed someone to run the library for a week cause I will be going on vacation.

Robin: What for?

LeMar: To take a break from working and spend time with my family. So, you are interested in being a librarian?

Robin: Yes.

...

[Sarah, Lisa, and Cody visit the children's section where they take out a book]

Sarah: Baby Whale?

Lisa: I know that song. It's based on a song about a family of whales. [sings] Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la. Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la. Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la. Baby whale.

Cody: Oooh. Let's open the book.

[Lisa open the book]

Sarah and Cody: Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Baby whale.

Sarah and Lisa: Mommy whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Mommy whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Mommy whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Mommy whale.

[In the circulation desk, Robin hears the singing as she is about to scan a patron's library card]

Robin: Hmmm.

Patron: What's going on?

Robin: I think it's a group of kids.

[She scans the library book and prints out the receipt slip]

Robin: Due back in one week.

Patron: Thank you.

[Robin then sees the three kids dancing the song]

Sarah, Lisa, and Cody: Belly whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Belly whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Belly whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Belly whale.

[Robin walks up to them]

Robin: Kids?

Sarah, Lisa, and Cody: Yes?

Robin: You're too loud. Can you please go to the sensory room? [directs the three kids to the sensory room]

...

[On Saturday, LeMar returns from vacation to see Robin checking out a book to Anne and Marie]

Robin: Here you go you two. It's due back in two weeks. Plenty of time to read.

Anne and Marie: Thank you, Miss Robin.

LeMar: Hi, Robin.

Robin: Hi, LeMar. [starts to laugh]

LeMar: Come on, what's the joke. [begins to laugh]

[All of the patrons begin laughing]

LeMar: [laughs] The library is starting to turn into a joke book.

Robin: [laughs] I wonder where all the laughing is coming from.

LeMar: Let's go check the climate control.

[As they go check the climate control system, they sniff the system and they continue laughing hysterically]

Robin: Let's call Hamilton!

LeMar: Good idea! We'll do it outside!

[At the police station, Chief Hamilton's office, Hamilton's phone rings, and Hamilton answers it]

Hamilton: CPD. Hamilton.

LeMar: Hi, Chief Hamilton. This is LeMar Hutton at the library. Someone piped in laughing gas into my climate control system.

Hamilton: I'll be right over, LeMar.

[She, her brother and Tobey wear masks]

...

[While reviewing the videotape, they see Lord Morlock, Thump, Orcro, and Spyler damaging the system]

LeMar: Those Morlocks hacked into the library in the middle of the night!

Robin: All the doors were locked up. And I think Morlock cast a spell to unlock the doors.

Tobey: Those goons are nothing but troublemakers.

...

Christmas Don't Be Gone
[After taking Sarah home from school.]

Rusty: You know, Sarah. I am dreaming of a white Christmas. Christmas that has snow on the ground.

Sarah: Yeah. Miss Love told me that earlier.

Frisky: Hopefully, it should snow by the time our Christmas Jamboree happens on Christmas Eve. Think about it.

[She and Rusty lift up Sarah's sweater to reveal only her dress]

Rusty: That's funny. Where's the belly?

Sarah: Oops! [runs into the bathroom to remove her dress, then leaves wearing only a sweater]

Frisky: Okay, Sarah. Let's reveal the belly.

[She and Rusty lift up Sarah's sweater again this time exposing her stomach. They rub it which she giggles]

Sarah: [giggles] Now kiss the spot.

[Frisky kisses Sarah's middle who continues giggling. Just as she lifts Frisky's sweater up]

Frisky: Oh, Sarah. Rusty and I have to go to the High School. You can give me a belly rub later.

Sarah: Darn!

...

[Basketball Tournament]

Mrs. Eagle: Man to Man defense by the Juniors. Snyder to Casiano to Morales from the baseline...and tickles the twine.

...

[Inside Mr. Eagle's office, Lord Morlock finds a key on the desk]

Morlock: Ah! A key! [looks at] A key that can open something. [walks to the gym where he sees a basketball game] Lookie there! A basketball game.

Mrs. Eagle: Smith to Lawson, from the foul line and misses it. Rebound by Robinson, passes it to Mann, does a perfect layup. The Juniors lead 22-16....

[Inside the gym storage area, Morlock sees a lock and sees water tanks.]

Morlock: Ah! This gym has a swimming pool underneath the floor. The basketball game will go for a big splash.

[He puts the key in the lock, turns it over, and...]

Mrs. Eagle: Gardner to Mann and—-

[The gym floor begins to open up]

Mrs. Eagle: Oh my! The floor begins to open up!

[Joey blows his whistle]

Joey: CLEAR THE FLOOR!

[Everyone on the gym floor quickly leaves like magic.]

Mrs. Eagle: Looks like a sequel to the famous scene from It's A Wonderful Life. The gym floor is turning into a swimming pool. And a villain appears from the office.

Joey: [confronts Morlock] What are you doing here!?

Morlock: You and your classmates are in for a splash!

Johnny: [entering from the gym] Oh no! Morlock! He opened the gym.

[Joey runs to the gym storage area and quickly switches the gym control to closed. Joey punches Morlock and gets into a brawl with him. Johnny then pushes Morlock into the pool just as the gym floor is closed.]

Johnny: You'll be spending Christmas in the pool, Morlock!

[Professor Al's room]

[Al looks at the radar]

Professor Al: Oh dear! It's icing outside and the roads are slippery. [scrolls to the future cast] Looks like the storm may last until Christmas Eve. The buses will be skidding. We may have to delay dismissal.

Frisky: [gasps] Oh no!

Buttons: What about Christmas?

Rusty: We've got to go see Randal. Maybe he can help!

[Randal's]

[Randal looks at the radar from the screen.]

Randal: Well...[looks through his spell book] A spell that turns ice into snow: Snow Magaza!

Bearbette: Great!

Randal: I'll get it ready right now!

[He prepares the spell]

Buttons: But what about the school buses running?

Randal: Maybe I'll put some snow shovels on all the buses.

Rusty: Christmas is not off! Thank goodness!

Bearbette: Thank you, Randal!

...

Mr. Pines: [over the PA system] May I have your attention, please. The ice storm has passed and snow is falling on the ground. As we get ready to begin our Holiday Break, we would like to thank our Honor Society for making our Holiday Celebration possible. The society has raised $1,000 to benefit the homeless shelter where they will have a Merry Christmas. Our sophomore team in the basketball tournament is our champions this year. We would like to thank Mrs. Eagle; wife of Mr. Eagle for providing the play-by-play throughout our tournament, despite our gym floor being opened about a quarter way by accident from an unknown critter. Randal has managed to turn all the ice into snow and put snow shovels on the school buses. We would like to thank him for saving the ice storm. Professor Al predicts we're going to have a White Christmas!

[Cheers and applause]

Mr. Pines: Have a wonderful winter break! We will see you back on January 4, and be ready to learn! Before we ring the final bell for the holidays, I, along with Senior Class President Robin McCobb, Senior Class Sergeant-At-Arms Johnny Boyett, their beloved critter friends, Buttons, Bearbette, Rusty and Frisky, and the magical old-timer, Randal would like to recite one of the most beloved Christmas poems of all time.

[Johnny, Robin, the cub couples and Randal go into the microphone]

Mr. Pines: 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a critter was stirring, we thought it was dark;

Johnny: The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

Robin: The children were nestled all snug in their beds;

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

Buttons: And moms and pops in their 'kerchiefs, and we in our caps,

Have just settled our critters brains for a long winter's nap,

Bearbette: When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

We sprang from our beds to see what was the matter.

Rusty: Away to the window we flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

Frisky: The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,

Gave a luster of midday to objects below.

Randal: When what to our wondering eyes did appear,

But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

Mr. Pines: With a little old driver so lively and quick,

we knew in a moment he must be Santa.

Johnny: More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

Randal: [imitates Santa Claus] "Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

Buttons: As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

Rusty: So up to the housetop the coursers they flew

With the sleigh full of toys, and Santa Claus too—

Bearbette: And then, in a twinkling, we heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

Frisky: As we drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney, Santa came with a bound.

Johnny: He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.

Robin: A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

Mr. Pines: His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

Johnny: His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.

Buttons: The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.

Bearbette: He had a broad face and a little round belly

That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

Frisky: He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And we laughed when we saw him, in spite of myself.

Rusty: A wink of his eye and a twist of his head

Soon gave us to know we had nothing to dread.

Buttons: He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk.

Mr. Pines: And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

Robin: He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

Johnny: And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

Randal: But we heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—

All: "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

[The school bell rings and the students are dismissed]

...

[Last lines of the episode. The credits roll while Johnny, Robin, Jonesy, and all the critters sing We Wish You A Merry Christmas. After the credits end...]

Johnny and Robin: From all of us...!

Jonesy: To all of you!

All with critters: A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[Pledge Break #2]

[Under the Christmas Tree, Sarah sees a plush of herself]

Sarah: Buttons! Rusty! Bearbette! Frisky! Look!

Frisky: What is it, Sarah?

Sarah: That plush looks like me! [rubs the stomach] I can rub my stuffed belly.

Bearbette: [picks up a plush of herself] That bear looks like me.

Frisky: Look at this! Did Santa give us plush-toy versions of ourselves.

Rusty: Or was it the monster?

Buttons: But we don't know yet.

Bearbette: How would our friends in Chucklewood get plushies of ourselves?

Buttons: By pledging their support to this public television station. All they have to do is call the number they see on the screen.

Frisky: Or if they prefer, they can visit their station online.

Rusty: And in case you remember what Miss Love said earlier, if you donate $150, you'll get plushies of me, Buttons and Sarah.

Bearbette: Donate $25 more, and you'll get me and Frisky.

Buttons: And you'll get a Christmas dress up kit which you can dress us up as elves, Santa or Mrs. Claus.

Frisky: You can have all five of us under the tree to last us for a lifetime.

Sarah: And don't forget to rub my belly and kiss the Sarah spot.

[Rusty rubs the real Sarah's stomach and Frisky kisses her middle, Sarah giggles]

Buttons: Not only they could get the plushies. They could get A Chucklewood Christmas Cantata. This two-CD set featuring popular Christmas songs sung by us critters in Chucklewood. All they have to do is pledge at the $50 level.

Bearbette: We will be singing a brief selection of the songs on this CD right after the second half of Buttons & Rusty's Christmas Jamboree. So feel free to stick around!

Frisky: And for an additional $75, we will also give you this 2-Disc DVD Set called A Chucklewood Christmas. This includes all six Chucklewood Christmas specials. Fun for the whole family this holiday season.

[Sarah plays with the Christmas Tree train]

Sarah: Choo! Choo!

Rusty: Sarah, what are you doing?

Sarah: Being Mr. Conductor.

Buttons: Now, Sarah. The Christmas Tree Train is a freight train, not a passenger train.

Sarah: Oh. So, could I be Mr. Engineer?

Rusty: Sort of though. Anyway, if you pledge $100, you can get this Christmas Tree Train set. This is the exact same train me and Buttons rode. Good for under the tree or your train collection.

Buttons: So please give your public television station support from Viewers Like You! Call the number on your screen. The phone lines are ringing. The volunteers are standing by.

Frisky: We got to be back to our decorating for our winter jamboree.

Bearbette: Yes, Frisky!

Buttons: And then we will take you back to Chucklewood for more of our winter jamboree as youngans. And afterwards, we will have a carol singing some of the songs from the Chucklewood Christmas Cantata.

Sarah: What about me!?

Rusty: You'll just watch with us, Sarah.

Abner's Odyssey
[Abner's apartment]

[Abner looks through the refrigerator and looks like he has only a handful of food remaining.]

Abner: Hmmm... time for me to go to the store.

[He goes into his wallet and shows nothing but a few dollars remaining]

Abner: Great! After all that moving, I am down to just a couple of bones. What should I do to get money?

[He looks through the newspaper and sees jobs]

Abner: Mmmmm....a job. That's it. A job!

[Freddie's tree]

Philbert: Okay, Abner. My garage needs a full paint job.

Abner: Ummm...what color paint should I use?

Philbert: Red. I hope you like this job. Call me when you're finished.

[Hours later, Philbert fuels up Leppinwolf]

Abner: Oh, Philbert. I'm finished.

Philbert: Gee, Abner. You're quick. [he turns to see his garage showing the colors of orange and yellow. He sees his windows covered up in paint. He gasps.]

Abner: Looks red to me.

Philbert: Look what you did! You covered my windows!

Abner: Whoops.

Philbert: Sorry, Abner.

...

[A bored Abner walks down the suburb, where suddenly, he sees a female wallaby in a dress.]

Wallaby: Excuse me!

Abner: Huh? What?

Wallaby: How would you like to be on a game show where you win a cash jackpot?

Abner: A cash jackpot? Who are you?

Wallaby: I'm Samantha Foss, I am one of the producers of Critter Quest. The game show where you answer ten questions such as riddles, rebuses and more and win a cash jackpot. It's hosted by Jimmy McQuire.

Abner: A rebus? What's a rebus?

Samantha: A puzzle device that combines the use of illustrated pictures with individual letters to depict words and/or phrases. Let me show you.

[She shows Abner a rebus:....]

...

Abner: Oh man. I think I'll try to do this. I need some cash!

Samantha: Good! Do you think you can be on the show tomorrow night?

Abner: Yes. As long as I can survive.

Samantha: Good!

...

[TV Studio]

Announcer: This... is... Critter Quest! And here's the host of the show, Jimmy McGuire!

[Jimmy enters the studio, cheers and applause]

Jimmy: Thank you! Hi, everybody. Welcome to Critter Quest. The show where you must answer ten questions correctly to win the cash jackpot. Last time on our show, we had a contestant who had gone all the way, but after winning the cash jackpot, he risked everything on the grand question and lost it all. That means our jackpot today is $80,000. Let's meet today's contestant who will be vying for it: He's a worker and farmer originally from Chucklewood, please welcome Abner the Bear!

[Abner enters the studio; cheers and applause]

Jimmy: Hello, Abner.

Abner: Uhh...hello.

Jimmy: Think you got potential to win the cash jackpot?

Abner: Yes.

Jimmy: Okay, here's how this works. I got ten questions: could be anything from rebuses, riddles, clues and more. If you can answer all of them correctly, you'll win the jackpot and a chance at the grand question which will talk about it later. To help you out, we can give you four forms of assistance to help you: You can pass on two questions and we can replace it with a new one. Or on three occasions, you can video-call an expert critter and he or she can help you. Use them wisely. Be careful, one wrong answer and it's game over. Are you ready to play?

Abner: Oh, yes.

Jimmy: Let's play Critter Quest.

...

[Mathematics]

Jimmy: Solve the following math problem: √7396.

Abner: Hmm. Is there scratch paper available?

Jimmy: Nope. You must solve the problem mentally. That's why this is called Critter Quest.

Abner: Hmm. The square root of 7,396. I haven't solved a math problem on square roots after I graduated from critter school. Let me see. [stammers]

Jimmy: You have both of your passes and your critter experts.

Abner: I'll use my first pass on this one.

Jimmy: Very well. The correct answer is 86.

Abner: Oh. Okay.

Jimmy: Let's try this one. In Literature: This Denmark born-author's famous works include The Emperor's New Clothes, The Ugly Duckling, and The Little Mermaid.

Abner: I remember Bridgette taking me to see The Little Mermaid on our first date. I saw the author's name. Who is H.C. Andersen?

Jimmy: Are you sure?

Abner: Yes.

Jimmy: Hans Christian Andersen. We'll accept that.

[Applause]

Jimmy: Okay, Abner. Question 5. A rebus. Can you solve it?

...

[Question 8]

Jimmy: Three more questions to go. I am a thing that you can put on some food like potatoes. When it rains, it pours. When it snows, it's stiff. What am I?

Abner: Hmmm. When it rains, it pours. When it snows, it's stiff.

Jimmy: Remember, you have one pass left. And you have one critter expert remaining.

Abner: I know you can't eat potatoes with sugar, it's too sweet. Sugar...sugar...salt...salt. I am going to go with my gut and say salt.

Jimmy: Salt. Do you accept your answer?

Abner: Yes, Salt.

Jimmy: When it rains, it pours. When it snows, it's stiff. Salt is what you put on. You're correct!

[Applause]

Jimmy: You're doing a good job, Abner. You up to Question 9 of 10. Two more to go until we talk about the grand question. Can you solve this rebus?

[A rebus is shown]

Abner: Another one!? Oh man! I've solved the first one puzzle successfully, thanks to the Critter Expert.

...

[Question 10]

Jimmy: All right, Abner. This is the moment of truth, Question 10. Get this right, you will win the jackpot of $80,000 then will talk about the grand question. Get it wrong, you lose it all. Are you ready?

Abner: I'm nervous.

Jimmy: Here is Question 10: John, Paul, Ringo, George.

Abner: Hmm. John, Paul, Ringo, George.

Jimmy: What do these names have in common?

Abner: Well, George is an old friend of mine. Me and George used to live in the same cave after my son, Buttons was born.

Jimmy: Remember, you have your Critter Expert remaining. Do you want to use that?

Abner: John, Paul, Ringo, George? Yeah. Let's bring on the Critter Expert.

...

[Post-Credits Scene]

Miss Love: Tonight's episode is dedicated to a very good friend of ours in the game show industry, Alex Trebek passed away in November. This episode pays tribute to the 1970s Double Dare, Concentration and of course Jeopardy!, three of the shows that Alex hosted. We at Chucklewood Productions will surely miss Alex giving out the answers and we providing questions.

[ALEX TREBEK

1940-2020]

Freddie Boy
Philbert: Come on, Freddie!

[Philbert puts a blindfold on Freddie]

Freddie: [laughs] Pop, why are you blindfolding me for?

Philbert: Shhh! I got a surprise for you.

Freddie: What is it?

Philbert: You'll find out when we get there.

...

[As Leppinwolf arrives in Fort Caulderdale, they pull into a mansion]

Freddie: Sounds like we are in Fort Caulderdale to me.

Philbert: Yep. Don't take it off yet.

[They enter through the backyard and see a swimming pool. Philbert takes off Freddie's shirt and blindfold and sees Medora [in a rainbow bikini] getting out of the pool]

Freddie: Holy smokes!

[A saxophone solo is heard as Medora emerges from the pool]

Freddie: Is that for me?

Philbert: No son. That's for me.

Freddie: Look at that chick. Her bikini is really beautiful.

Medora: [walks up to Philbert] Hi, honey. [gasps as she looks at Freddie] This must be your son, Freddie.

Philbert: Yep. [to Freddie] Freddie, this is your future step-mother, Medora.

Freddie: [stammering] Hi, Medora. [to Philbert] She has a cute belly.

Philbert: [chuckles] Freddie is waiting to see you. I first met Medora when she rescued me while I was fishing.

[Medora shows the two the engagement ring]

Philbert: She lives in Fort Caulderdale and took me right here and we got engaged.

Medora: We are getting married very soon.

[Just then, a familiar raccoon [in an ocean blue bikini] runs towards Freddie, tackles him, and blows a raspberry on his stomach. Freddie then looks at the raccoon.]

Raccoon: Do you remember me?

[A flashback sequence is shown where Freddie dated the raccoon. He looks at her stomach. The opening riff of This Girl plays slowly twice.]

Freddie: Sophia?

[He stares at Sophia's middle which she giggles then blows another raspberry on Freddie's stomach]

Freddie: Sophia! [blows a raspberry on Sophia's stomach] It's you!

Sophia: Freddie!

[The two hug]

Medora: Sophia, how did you know Freddie?

Sophia: Years ago. I first met him when he was laying down in Chucklewood Lake.

Medora: Oh, I see. Hey, let's go for a swim.

Freddie and Sophia: Yeah!

[They touch each other's middles, jump into the pool and splash at each other. Sophia hops on Freddie's back and Freddie walks to the edge of the pool. Sophia drops into the pool.]

Medora: My daughter and Freddie, they both love each other.

Philbert: [presses Medora's middle] Let's go jump in.

[Medora and Philbert jump in the pool and with their children they splash at each other]

[Inside the mansion]

Freddie: It's so cool that I am going to have a step-mother.

Philbert: Mmm-hmm. Remember, you lost your mother when you were a young raccoon. We had to move from our old neighborhood into Chucklewood.

Medora: What happened?

Philbert: [flashback sequence] Freddie and I lived in an old tree in Everwood Valley located northwest of the country. The good ol' days of the raccoon population. But one day, Everwood Valley changed from good to bad. When a huge wildfire destroyed our home and my wife was killed by a hunter. I think the valley is unsafe, so we decided to move to a new forest and we found Chucklewood. A forest where lots of critters live, work and play. There are bears, foxes, turtles, mice and more! The forest is more friendlier than our old home.

Freddie: And that's where I first met my friends, Buttons, Rusty, Skeeter and Turner.

Medora: Who are they, Freddie?

Freddie: Buttons is a bear. Rusty is a fox. Skeeter is a mouse. Turner is a turtle.

Sophia: And then, two years ago, I first met Freddie on the lake and took me here.

Medora: I thought Sophia is going to be Freddie's step-sister.

Sophia: No, mom. I really love Freddie. I first met him in Chucklewood and dated me here.

Medora: I didn't know that. You always keep things secret, Sophia.

[Sophia blows a raspberry on Freddie's stomach]

Medora: That's what I call that a belly blow.

Freddie: Now, it's time for yours, Sophia.

[He blows a raspberry on Sophia's stomach]

Sophia: Freddie has a nice belly spot. [points to her middle] That's the place to blow the belly.

[Laughter!]

Freddie: So do you, Sophia.

[Laughter!]

Sophia: [looking at Philbert's middle] Look, Philbert. What's that on your belly?

Philbert: This is my belly ring. When I first met your mother, I got my belly pierced.

Medora: Some critters put belly rings on your spots as a way to symbolize mates.

Philbert: Do you want your belly spot pierced, Sophia?

Sophia: I rather leave myself alone so it would be easier for Freddie to blow my belly.

...

[Medora (T-shirt and shorts) shows Sophia, Freddie and Philbert the fishing pier]

Freddie: Is that a bridge to the ocean?

Medora: No, Freddie. This is a fishing pier. The most important place on the ocean. This is where not only sightseers can get an incredible view of the ocean, but fishermen can go fishing on the ocean without using the beach. This is where I work. Come along.

[Inside the Pier]

Medora: This is where sightseers and fishermen begin their journey to the pier. They can buy bait, tackle, light snacks and refreshments before accessing.

...

[At a Mariana]

[Medora (bikini) shows the group her boat]

Freddie: Where are we doing, Medora? Going on a boat-ride?

Sophia: More than just a boat ride, Freddie.

Philbert: We are about to go on a journey underneath the ocean.

Medora: In other words, snorkeling. When your father dated me, I taught him how to snorkel or scuba dive.

Philbert: There are thousands of sea creatures living under the ocean.

...

[Underwater, Freddie, Philbert, Medora, and Sophia explore the underwater cove. Suddenly, a sting-ray appears and pierces Philbert in the chest as he starts to go down, Freddie and Medora catch him and swim back up to the boat. They put Philbert down. Medora quickly drives the boat to shore. Freddie then feels his father.]

Freddie: Pop?

[No answer]

Freddie: Pop?

Medora: [checking Philbert's pulse] Oh my gosh. Freddie, call for an ambulance. I am going to perform CPR.

[As she does...]

Sophia: Isn't he going to make it?

Medora: Probably--[looks at the attack on the stingray] OH MY GOSH!!!

Sophia: What happened!?

Medora: Some sort of fish attacked him!

[Suddenly, the ambulance arrives]

...

[At the critter hospital, Philbert wakes up very slowly and looks at his son]

Philbert: F-f-f-reddie.

Freddie: Hi, Pop.

Philbert: I don't think I am going to make it.

Freddie: W-w-w-what? You will.

Philbert: I remember the day you were born. You were a good critter. I remember the time we moved to Chuckewood when your mom died.

Freddie: Yes.

Philbert: I remember taking you on a ride on Leappinwolf. I remember we defeated Zak Vaderman and his gang.

Freddie: I will remember that. And so will our friends.

Philbert: You're all grown up now. You're the man...of the house. And now, as I get ready to take my final breath, we must...go..on our separate ways. Goodbye, Freddie. I love you. I love you. [flat lines and dies]

Freddie: Pop? POP!!! P-p-p-pop! Please don't go! Please don't go! [cries]

[Medora and Sophia both cry]

...

[Freddie opens his father's garage and sees Leappinwolf. He looks at it carefully and studies it.]

Freddie: How would I be able to ride Leappinwolf?

[One Week Later]

[Medora's]

Freddie: Medora, Leappinwolf is very special to my father. I remember he bought the motorcycle when he was my age. He took very care of it over the years. I wanted to ride it and follow his steps. How would I do it?

Medora: Well, do you have your driver's license?

Freddie: Not yet.

Medora: I am going to take you to motorcycle school. This will teach you how to ride a motorcycle and learn the rules of the road.

...

[Final scene. Freddie takes Sophia and Buttons on a ride around the suburb and Chucklewood. As the three head to Philbert's grave]

Philbert's ghost: Freddie, you are a Freddie Boy.

Freddie: [hugs his father's tombstone] Thanks, pop. [cries] I love you.

Miss Love Talks To Parents About Death
Miss Love: Good evening. I'm Charlotte Love.

Lester: I'm Lester Eli Gator.

Medora: And I'm Medora.

Miss Love: Tonight's episode is not for children to watch alone. Anything human is mentionable, and anything mentionable can be manageable. Lester and Medora had experiences of a life changing topic of a loved one: Death. When we see a person's death, it's best to have an adult close by. [The words "PARENTAL DISCRETION IS ADVISED" appear] So please make sure you get an adult with you. Tonight on Growing Up, we are going to talk about and how to cope with death.

Vixey-By-The-Sea
[Sweet Water Valley]

[Buttons heads over to his grandmother's cave. His mother and aunt walk to him.]

Bridgette: Buttons!

Buttons: Hi, mom. Hi, Aunt Francine.

Bridgette: Good thing you've responded to my telegram.

Francine: There's something we have to tell you.

Buttons: How's Gram?

Bridgette: Gram has been diagnosed with cancer.

Buttons: Cancer!? How do they know that?

Bridgette: They did lots of tests on her. She has a hysterectomy and the blood inside her has cancer.

Buttons: Oh, no! What's a hysterectomy?

Francine: The surgical removal of the uterus. It may also involve the removal of the cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other surrounding structures. After surgery and diagnosis, the cancer is inoperable. Especially her Alzheimer's Disease.

Buttons: WHAT!? [starts to cry] Does this mean she will die?

Francine: Yep. She's not going to be with us anymore in a few months.

Bridgette: The doctors gave her only weeks to live.

Buttons: How many?

Francine: About a month or two.

Buttons: Oh my! [hugs his mother]

...

[Beach General Store]

Jeanette: What should Vixey wear?

Rosie: A one piece bathing suit. When she gets older, she can switch to a two.

George: Good idea.

...

[Jeanette's Condo]

[Jeanette and Rosie come out of the bathroom in bikinis, Vixey looks at their stomachs.]

Vixey: Bel...

Rusty: [gasps] Look! Vixey's trying to talk!

Vixey: Bel...bel.

George: That's it, Vixey. Say "belly"

Rosie: Say "belly"

Jeanette: [pointing to her stomach] C'mon, Vixey!

Rusty: Say it!

Vixey: [stutters for a bit] Belly!

[The family celebrates]

Rusty: She said her first word!

[Vixey runs over to Jeanette and climbs to her bikini top presses her chest]

Vixey: Belly!

Jeanette: That's not my belly! That's my chest.

Vixey: Chest? [slides her hand down to Jeanette's stomach then presses the middle] Belly!

Jeannette: [giggles] Yes! That's my belly!

[Vixey then leaps to Rosie's stomach and kisses the middle]

Vixey: Belly!

Rosie: [giggling] She kissed my belly, George!

George: [chuckles] Reminds you of someone, Rusty?

[Vixey then presses Rusty's stomach]

Vixey: Belly!

Rusty: [giggles] Yeah. Just wait till she sees Sarah's belly.

[Vixey then points to the water in Jeanette's swimming pool]

Vixey: Belly!

Rosie: No, that's water.

Vixey: Water?

[Rosie puts Vixey on her back as they walk to the pool steps of the pool. Rosie sits down on the bottom step of the pool.]

Vixey: Water!

[Rosie splashes herself which they both giggle]

Jeanette: Let's go swimming!

[She jumps into the pool and swims to the middle step. Vixey holds onto Rosie and Jeanette's hands as they cruise around the pool like a speedboat.]

George: Good girl, Vixey!

Rusty: Aunt Stacy will teach her how to swim when the time comes.

[Vixey kisses Jeanette's middle]

Vixey: Belly!

Jeanette: [giggles] That tickles!

George: Aw, Vixey! Wait till she kisses Sarah's.

...

[That evening, while eating dinner, Jeanette gives Vixey a BBQ chicken drumstick and some corn]

Vixey: Belly!

Rosie: No, Vixey. That's chicken.

Vixey: Chicken?

[She takes the chicken and attempts to put it on her mother's stomach. Rosie stops her.]

Rosie: No, no. A piece of chicken is food. You eat the chicken. Not put it on my belly.

Vixey: Eat?

Rosie: Here, let Aunt Jeanette show you how to eat the chicken.

[Jeanette shows Vixey how to eat the chicken]

Jeanette: See? This is one way to eat a chicken.

George: Jeanette, maybe we should cut the chicken into pieces for her to eat. She can eat the chicken with her paws before we train her how to use utensils.

...

[Vixey sees corn and takes a piece]

Vixey: Belly!

Rosie: That's not a belly. That's corn.

Vixey: Corn?

[Jeanette eats her corn on the cob]

Rosie: I gave her pieces of corn to start off. When she gets older, she'll have corn on the cob.

[Vixey takes a piece of corn and just as she puts it on Jeanette's middle.]

Vixey: Belly!

Jeanette: Vixey! [slaps her paw off] You eat the corn! Not put it on my belly, nor your mommy or daddy. A piece of corn is food!

George: You heard what she says. You put it in your mouth. Not the belly.

...

[That night, Vixey climbs out of her bed and tiptoes to the couch where her mother is sleeping. She removes the blankets and lifts up her mother's pajamas and kisses her stomach]

Vixey: Belly. Belly. Belly. Belly. Belly.

[Rosie slowly wakes up and looks at Vixey]

Rosie: Vixey, back to bed! [takes Vixey back to the spare bedroom and puts her on the bed] Not one more sound! [closes the door and locks up the door]

...

[The next morning, the family loads up for the beach in Jeanette's SUV]

Rosie: [t-shirt and bikini bottom] I can't believe what happened to Vixey last night. [lifts up her shirt and points to her middle] I didn't sleep a wink last night cause Vixey kissed my belly spot and kept saying "belly" all night long!

Jeanette: [bikini top and shorts] Well, I'll lock up the door tonight. Believe me, very young critters sometimes make sounds. When they get older, she'll get quieter.

Rusty: Just think, Vixey. We're taking you to the beach.

Vixey: Beach?

Rusty: Yes. Just think: Water, waves, sand.

George: Your first time on the beach.

[Vixey presses George's stomach]

Vixey: Belly!

George: [chuckles] That's daddy's belly.

Jeanette: Ready, everyone?

Rusty: Yes, ma'am!

Rosie: Time to get a nice gold tan!

[Beach]

Rusty: Look, Vixey! The beach!

Vixey: Beach! Beach!

Rosie: A perfect place for some relaxation of critters.

[Jeanette shows Vixey the beach]

...

[As George sets up the beach chairs, Vixey feels the sand]

Vixey: Sugar!

Rusty: That's not sugar. That's sand.

Vixey: Sand?

Rusty: You can do many things with sand.

[After George finishes up the chairs and Rosie and Jeannette lay down the beach blankets]

George: There. Anybody want some beer?

Rosie: [taking off her shirt] George, with Vixey nearby, I think we shall stay away from the alcohol. I don't want Vixey to take a sip of beer when we lay down on the sand. Besides, she'll have to wait years before she can drink alcohol.

Jeanette: [taking off her shorts] At least I didn't pack up beer.

Rosie: I'll just have a cherry soda.

Jeanette: I'll have orange soda.

Rusty: Cola.

[Rosie puts on suntan lotion on Vixey]

Vixey: Cream.

Rosie: That's suntan lotion. It keeps you protected from the sun.

Vixey: Sun?

[She puts suntan lotion on Rosie's stomach and draws a circle around the middle. She then rubs her stomach and fills up the middle with suntan lotion.]

Vixey: Belly!

Rosie: [giggles] Thanks.

[Vixey walks over to Jeanette and kisses her middle and covers it up with suntan lotion]

Jeanette: [giggles] Thanks.

...

[George relaxes in his beach chair while Rosie and Jeanette lay down on their blankets, Vixey starts covering up her mother with the help of his brother]

Vixey: [looks at her mother's bikini top, whispering] Belly. [puts sand on her chest]

Rusty: No, Vixey. You start with the legs first, then the belly, then the chest. Then, Mom will be covered up in sand. I'll help you out.

[In time-lapse, Rusty helps Vixey cover up their mother and aunt]

Rusty: There! A covered up Aunt and Mom.

[An hour later, Rusty lays down flat on his stomach. Vixey wakes up and walks slowly towards her aunt. She looks for Jeanette's middle and she slowly removes the sand off of her stomach exposing her middle.]

Vixey: Belly?

[She takes a bucket of water from the ocean and pours it on Jeanette's middle]

Vixey: Belly!

Jeanette: [reacts] Vixey! You poured water on my belly spot. That's a surprise to wake me up!

[Vixey repeats for Rosie]

...

[While the family takes a walk on the ocean]

George: Look, Vixey.

Vixey: Fishes!

George: Those aren't fishes! They are surfers.

Vixey: Surfers?

[Suddenly, a surfer gets wiped out and ends up right next to the family. The surfer is revealed to be Bruce.]

Rusty: Bruce?

Bruce: That's me, Rusty. How's your little sister doing?

Rusty: She's doing okay. She said her first word which is [points to his stomach] belly.

Bruce: Wow! Amazing! How's Buttons doing?

Rusty: We kind of spread out now. The cave is now divided into two sections. One section has me and my family and the old secret shortcut is Buttons' apartment. We took Vixey on her first vacation ever and we chose right here in Coytona. My Aunt Jeanette has a condo.

Bruce: Amazing. I've been taking a timeout from my studies and been training in the off-season after the Nanami Orcas missed the playoffs again!

Rusty: That's terrible. Things should come up next season. Well, Bruce, we've got to head back to our beach chairs. Vixey is going to get sunburn any minute now and we must apply more suntan lotion.

Bruce: Nice meeting you, Rusty. [to Vixey] And you, Vixey.

Vixey: Goodbye!

[George gets out a bottle of suntan lotion from his pocket]

George: Here, Rusty.

[Rusty puts suntan lotion on Vixey]

...

[While preparing to cover up Vixey with sand, Rusty sees Bruce finding an open area to surf, when suddenly...]

Crush: [kicks Bruce's rear end] Hey, Butt!

Bruce: Butt?! My name is not Butt!

Crush: [realizes his mistake] Wait a minute, you're not Buttons! Who the heck are you?!

Bruce: I'm his cousin, Bruce! Who in incarnation are you?

Crush: My name is Crush! And I believe to be a better surfer than you. So, Bruce, let me borrow that little surfboard of yours! [pokes Bruce's stomach, pulls down his swimming trunks, kicks his rear end, snickers then steals his surfboard] Sucker!

Bruce: HEY, NO FAIR! I just got that surfboard weeks ago!

[At the Fox Family's area, while covering Vixey with sand, Rusty witnessed what had happened.]

Rusty: Oh no! I know that coyote. Crush!

Vixey: Crush?

Rusty: [to Vixey] He's the nephew of our old rival, Claude and a mean coyote. [to Jeanette, George, and Rosie] Mom, Pop, Aunt Jeanette, watch Vixey. I have an emergency to take care of.

Jeanette, George, and Rosie: Yes, Rusty!

Rusty: [starts running] How the bell did he get here!? Did he break out of jail!? Hang on, Bruce, I'm coming!

[He and Bruce start to chase Crush by throwing a sand rock on his rear end. A chief lifeguard, Eris Qoone looks through her binoculars. She blows the whistle and then summons her crew and the police. As the three approach the ocean.]

Crush: You'll never catch me, sucker!

[Just as he starts surfing, the lifeguards and police frisk him with lifesavers. Bruce pokes Crush's middle hard.]

Crush: Hey! Why the heck are you interrupting my surfing!?

[The police pull Crush's swimming trunks down, they kick his rear end (turning red)]

Rusty: Serves you right, Crush-butt, for invading my friend's cousin's surfing lesson!

Officer: Well, Mr. Crush. What do you have to say for yourself?

Crush: I am surfer champion.

Eris: Not anymore!

[The police wraps chains around Crush's stomach, then slaps the cuffs on his hands, putting them on his rear end]

Officer: You're under arrest for theft and assault. You have the right to remain--

Crush: SILENT! I know my rights. Anything I say, blah-blah-blah-blah! I have the right to an attorney! I'll get my lawyer!

[The police then escorts Crush away]

Eris: [gives the surfboard to Bruce] I think this surfboard belongs to you, Mr. Bear.

Bruce: Yes, ma'am. Thank you. [to Rusty] Thank you, Rusty, for retrieving my surfboard.

Rusty: You're welcome, Bruce.

...

[The next day]

[Crush's Tribunal]

Judge Marion: Mr. Fox, what did you witness?

Rusty: Well, me and my family spent the day on the beach, I was covering up my sister with sand. Then, I hear yells by Bruce. I then witnessed Crush stripping Bruce's swimming trunks, stealing his surfboard and kicking his butt. You know, Crush likes to kick my butt.

Crush: SHUT UP, RUTT!!

Rusty: DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!

[He begins to frisk Crush by the bailiff stops him]

Judge Marion: Order! Order!

Rusty: Anyway, me and Bruce began to chase Crush on the ocean until the lifeguard and the Coytona Police captured him.

Prison Warden: I think we should give Crush a stronger extended sentence for escaping prison in the third degree.

Verdicts: Guilty!

Judge Marion: Crush, for escaping prison in the third degree, grand larceny in the second degree and your long and extensive criminal record, I hereby extending your sentence by five more years! [bangs gavel]

...

[The next evening...]

Bearbette and Frisky: [gasps] Rusty and Vixey!

Sarah: Rusty!

Frisky: How's the sea with Vixey?

Rusty: We tried out her bathing suit, we took a tour with her and we even saw Bruce.

Bearbette: Bruce? How's he doing?

Rusty: He's doing good despite the Orcas having clinched another losing season. He's been surfing nowadays until Crush came along and stole his surfboard briefly.

Bearbette: I heard he is in jail for an extended time.

Frisky: Maybe he's going to get sentenced to death row like his uncle did.

Rusty: Oh, I almost forgot! Vixey said her first word while we were at Aunt Jeanette's condo.

Bearbette: Really?

Rusty: Can you guess what Vixey's first word is?

[Silence...]

Rusty: Here's a hint, lift your pajamas up.

[The girls lift up their pajamas to expose their stomachs]

Vixey: Belly! [runs up to Sarah who rubs her stomach]

Sarah: [giggles] That's my lucky belly!

Rusty: Good girl, Vixey. [points to Sarah's middle] Now see if you can kiss right here. That little round spot. You kissed Mom's, you kissed Aunt Jeannette's, now see if you can kiss Sarah's.

[Vixey stares closely at Sarah's stomach then slowly goes towards the middle]

Sarah: Yes. That's the Sarah spot.

[Vixey presses the middle, Sarah giggles]

Sarah: [giggles] No. No. That's not a kiss!

Vixey: Kiss?

Rusty: Yes.

Vixey: [slowly goes towards Sarah's middle again] Belly...belly...belly!

[She kisses it and Sarah giggles, Vixey rubs Sarah]

Sarah: [giggles excitedly] My belly is like jelly!

[Vixey continues kissing Sarah's middle]

Rusty: Vixey won't stop rubbing Sarah. [to Frisky] She said the word while wearing her bathing suit.

...

[Rusty kisses Frisky's stomach]

Frisky: Do I look like Sarah?

[She, Rusty and Bearbette laugh]

[In Fort Caulderdale, in the evening, Medora daydreams about Freddie by putting sand on her stomach and hums a snippet of Timbaland's The Way I Are]

Sophia: [imitates Freddie] Sophia, Sophia, will you marry me? [puts a water bottle on her stomach and squeezes it as if Freddie was blowing raspberries on her] [normal voice] Yes. And for our honeymoon, someplace south.

[She pours water on her middle and uses the bottle again to blow it. She then pours water on her bikini top and lays down flat on her stomach and using her beach blanket, she hugs it, pretending to make love with Freddie. Suddenly, a hand pulls Sophia's tail, slaps her rear end, clonks her in the head and a bag captures her and is taken by the shooter who snickers. Sophia muffled screams in the bag. Just as the shooter puts her into a stolen truck, the police arrive and clonks the shooter.]

Officer: All right, all right. Drop that bag.

[The police frisk the shooter dropping the bag and cuffs him]

Officer: The judge will talk to you about what you did. You have the right to remain silent. Anything---

Shooter: SHUT UP!

Officer: YOU, SHUT UP! If you do not shut up, anything you say can be held in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney.

Shooter: [shocked] Attorney!? But I don't have one!

Officer: Then we will provide one for you. [throws the shooter into the police car and is driven away]

[Another officer, grabs the bag and takes out Sophia who is bruised and deep breathes]

Officer 2: Come on. We'll take you to the police station.

Mr. Pines: Travis ran inside the school and went upstairs to the science hallway, and shot bullets and wounded Mr. Cann, the physics teacher and Mrs. Smiley, the Biology teacher. He then—

Travis: Shut up, you darn principal!

[He attempts to frisk Mr. Pines but the bailiff stops him.]

Judge Marion: ORDER!

[The bailiff pulls Travis back to his position]

Mr. Pines: We then called Hamilton to investigate and saw the videotape, he ran around the school and left far away. The two teachers are still in the hospital and are in critical condition.

[A verdict votes guilty, Travis growls]

Judge Marion: Guilty. Sophia, what happened?

Sophia: One evening, I was laying down on the beach as the sun was setting. I was daydreaming about Freddie, my boyfriend by playing on my belly and pouring water on my belly spot. When I laid down flat on my belly, Travis spanked my butt and captured me. Then the cops arrived and arrested him. I was badly bruised and they took me to the hospital.

Travis: [staring at Sophia's front] You got nice cleavage, hot chick!

Sophia: Why don't you shut your goldarn mouth up!

Travis: OH YEAH!?

[A verdict votes guilty. As Travis starts to run to Sophia, the bailiff stops him. Judge Marion bangs her gavel repeatedly.]

Judge Marion: Order! So, that's a guilty. Charlotte Love?

Miss Love: [bandaged around her head, normal dress] During recess time, Travis pointed his gun at my head. He told me to not move a muscle. I told him "no" a countless number of times, pinned me down, ripped my dress and shot me in the head.

Travis: Shut the heck up, woman!

[Travis starts to run to Miss Love and begins to tug her dress, Judge Marion bangs her gavel]

Judge Marion: ORDER! ORDER! ORDER!

[The bailiff breaks up Travis and pushes him back to his position. A verdict votes guilty.]

Judge Marion: Guilty. Chuck Mabor, Scott Hamilton, what did you witness?

Mr. Mabor: I was doing my morning jog in Chucklewood and then I heard screaming from the school. I saw the class fleeing inside the house. I quickly ran to the school and I saw Miss Love down with paramedics. I checked her pulse and she was not breathing. I dismissed the class for the day and I went with Lt. Scott to investigate.

[Travis growls]

Lt. Scott: We then saw shoe prints on the fence and we spent two hours tracking him down and he escaped Chucklewood.

[Travis tugs Mr. Mabor's tail]

Mr. Mabor: HEY! GET AWAY FROM MY TAIL!

[The bailiff pulls Travis away]

Judge Marion: Order! Order! Order!

Juror: Guilty x 10!

Judge Marion: That's a double guilty to me. That's enough guilty votes for all victims of the murder. The court finds Travis....GUILTY! [bangs gavel] You are sentenced to prison for an indefinite amount of time. [bangs gavel]

[The police slap the cuffs on Travis and escort him out of the courtroom. Suddenly, Syco appears and jumps up and bites his rear end hard.]

Officer #1: OH MY GOSH!

Lt. Scott: [looks at Syco] It's that snake!

Officer #1: Smash him, quick!

[He tries to smash Syco's tail but Syco slithers away]

Syco: You missed me!

Hamilton: [gasps] It's Syco!

Lt. Scott: How on earth did he get in here?

Hamilton: I don't know! Let's kill him!

[Other officers chase after him but Syco slithers fast. As they approached the vent, Syco quickly went inside the vent. Lt. Scott grabs his tail but the tail slips away.]

Lt. Scott: Darn!

[Inside the vent...]

Syco: I'll get you next time, Chucklewood Critters-s-s-s!

[Meanwhile, another officer grabs Travis and takes him to the hospital.]

The Ultimate Test
[Library]

Johnny: Hi, Robin.

Robin: Hi, Johnny. Guess what. I got a letter from Jay U. I am partially accepted but the only thing left to do is to complete the College Entrance Assessment Test. C.E.A.T. for short.

Johnny: That's what Lucas, Dave, and I are going to do here. Prepare for the exam. The last step in order to be accepted at the college.

[LeMar approaches them with books]

LeMar: Hi, guys.

Robin: Hi, LeMar.

LeMar: Preparing for the CEAT?

David: Yes.

LeMar: Here are some test-prep books for you to help you prepare and get the best score possible. But, you don't have to take my word for it. Follow me, please.

[They go into a designated room and LeMar hands the students test-prep books.]

LeMar: Here you go. And I'll be back to get you some water bottles in case you need them.

[Meanwhile, Sarah, Lisa, and Cody walk to the room and they see that the door is open. Lisa reads a sign saying "RESERVED FOR CEAT TESTING. DO NOT ENTER."]

Lisa: CEAT?

Sarah: I've never heard of that word before?

Cody: Me neither. And the sign says "Do Not Enter."

Sarah: I know what that means. We are not supposed to go in there if the room is in use.

[LeMar goes into the room and gives the students each a water bottle]

All three: Hi, LeMar!

LeMar: Hi, there.

Sarah: What's CEAT?

LeMar: The "College Entrance Assessment Test." It's a test where students in high school take in order to be accepted for college.

Cody: Wow!

Sarah: High school?

LeMar: High School is the last of the three cycles of general education. First, you go to Elementary School. Then, you go to Middle School, also known as Junior High. And then, the third and final cycle is Senior High or High School. Once you've completed all three cycles, you'll receive a diploma and then you'll go into the real world. Now, about the CEAT test. The test has lots and lots of things that you are too young for. You're going to have to wait years of general education prior to taking this test. You must complete the elementary, middle, and high school levels to do so.

Lisa: But I'm older.

LeMar: [chuckles] No you're not. How about you three come to the children's corner.

Sarah, Cody and Lisa: [singing] Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la

Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la

LeMar: SHHH! Quietly.

Rosie: Here we are, Vixey. Welcome to your first swimming lesson.

[Vixey presses Rosie's stomach]

Vixey: Belly!

Rosie: [giggles] Oh, Vixey. We'll press bellies later. Let's get changed.

[Warm Pool]

Rosie: [maillot] Hi, Stacy.

Stacy: Hiya, Rose. This must be Vixey.

Rosie: Yes, she is!

Vixey: Water!

Rosie: Yes, that's water. The pool is smaller than Aunt Jeanette's.

[Vixey attempts to jump into the water but is stopped by Stacy who blows her whistle]

Vixey: Water!

Rosie: Wait, Vixey! Never jump ahead of the lesson.

Stacy: I think she's getting way too excited. For the first month, Rosie, you will accommodate Vixey in the pool. I will teach her the primary skills of buoyancy, propulsion, and breath control. And then, once she passes this section, I will teach her the basics of swimming.

Vixey: [points to Stacy's maillot] Belly!

Rosie: [laughs] No. You don't see her belly for swimming classes.

...

[That evening, while Rosie bathes Vixey]

Vixey: [takes the brush and brushes her mother's middle] Belly. Belly.

Rosie: [giggles] Vixey! I'm bathing you. Not me!

[Vixey then splashes the tub]

Rosie: Vixey! This is a bathtub. Not a swimming pool.

Vixey: Bath...tub?

Rosie: Bathtub.

She will meet different young critters called classmates and make new friends. There will be field trips. holiday parties, songs, snacks, monthly swim days, and gross motor skills.

Mr. Mabor: Vixey! That's not a brush. That's my tail. [snatches it back]

Vixey: Tail?

Rosie: She's going to learn lots of words soon.

Mr. Mabor: [to Vixey] I'll be seeing you in four months.

[He presses Vixey's stomach who giggles]

Rosie: Oh, my niece loves that too.

Mr. Mabor: I see that.

Rosie: So thanks for stopping by, Mr. Mabor.

Mr. Mabor: Will do, I'll see you later. [leaves]

Rosie: Goodbye!

Vixey: Goodbye! [pins Rosie down and presses her stomach repeatedly] Belly! Belly! Belly!

Rosie: [giggles] Vixey!

Vixey: Belly! [kisses her mother's middle]

Rosie: Vixey! [giggles as Vixey keeps pressing] Okay! Stop it! [stops Vixey as she lays down on her lap. Rosie looks at her watch] It's time for a swim with your Aunt Stacy.

Kiara: Freddie, you just won $50,000!

Freddie: YEAH! [kisses Kiara's middle and takes off his shirt and jumps into the pool]

[Little Critter School]

Miss Love: Good evening, I'm Charlotte Love.

Stacy: And I'm Stacy. Sarah's mother.

Miss Love: It's tough to deal with a person or critter with autism. He/she may have a fear of loud noises, limited interests or in some cases unusual movement of the body. Tonight on Growing Up, Stacy and I will talk to parents and teachers about autism and how to deal with people on it.

...

Miss Love: Another form of autism is that they may have unusual movement of the body like flapping their arms, kicking feet while seating or even playing on their belly.

Stacy: Sarah, for example, loves to play on her belly. It makes her very tickilish. As revealed last season, she doesn’t kiss in the cheek, she kisses on belly buttons. She kissed mine, Bridgette, Jeanette, Bearbette, Frisky and Lisa. And for me, I kiss Sarah’s.

Miss Love: Does your friend or sibling perform any unusual body movements?

Captain: Okay. Let's see what we can do!

Johnny: Hurry!

[The captain puts the emergency brake on the boat and quickly goes into the storage department and grabs all the lifesavers and extracts three inflatable rafts. Once they go to the upper deck, they throw the rafts on the river.]

Frisky: Rusty, here's a raft!

Rusty: Wow! Thanks, Johnny!

Robin: You've got to jump!

[The fox couple jumps on the raft. They hug.]

Frisky: Buttons! Bearbette! Get on the raft!

Buttons: WOW! We're saved!

[The bear couple boards the raft and the first raft goes towards the prom boat. Using an anchor, the captain lifts the raft up to the upper deck. The cub couples embrace Johnny and Robin]

Johnny: Buttons! Rusty!

Robin: Bearbette! Frisky!

Bearbette: I thought we're gonna die!

Frisky: Thank goodness!

[The captain throws another raft on the river and this time picks up the raccoon and mouse couples]

Skeeter: Holy, titanic! You okay, Karen?

Karen: Yes.

[They kiss]

Sophia: I can't believe it! I thought my beautiful dress was going to get soaked.

...

[Syco pops up from the river and hisses]

Freddie: SYCO!

Syco: I'll get you next time!

[He slithers into the river]

Bearbette: Oh my! I didn't know Syco damaged our boat.

Eugene: I think he sabotaged the controls.

Rusty: So it was Syco! Man, next time we see that snake, we will arrest him for sure!

[The boat approaches the theme park]

Captain: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to after prom!

[The couples enter the theme park. Meanwhile, Lester and Sam are on their own raft.]

Lester: I can't believe it! Syco the Snake slithered into our boat.

Sam: I would like to see that snake be smashed into pieces or get arrested.

Lester: I have had enough of that snake of all my time. It's too late to head back home.

Sam: Should we spend the night here?

Lester: Yes.

[A montage is then shown as Love from Robin Hood starts playing as the cub couples, Freddie/Sophia, Skeeter/Karen ride various rides.]

Nancy Adams: Love, it seems like only yesterday.

You were just a child at play.

Now you're all grown up inside of me.

Oh how fast those moments flee.

Once we watched a lazy world go by,

now the day seems to fly.

Life is brief, but when it's gone

Love goes on and on.

[The instrumental bridge loops as we cut to the Ferris Wheel which Johnny and Robin ride on. As the ride stops, with Johnny and Robin on the very top. Robin lays down on Johnny's head. Johnny gets out the engagement ring.]

Johnny: Robin, I...I...

Robin: Yes, Johnny?

Johnny: What a beautiful night.

Robin: Yes.

Johnny: Would you...would you....[stammers and picks up Robin's hand] marry me?

Robin: Johnny....yes. [puts the engagement ring on her finger]

[In the Tunnel of Love, Bearbette lays down on Buttons' shoulder. As the ride goes through the tunnel, Buttons takes out an engagement ring and whispers into Bearbette's ear.]

Buttons: Bearbette, will you marry me?

[Bearbette wakes up and silently puts the engagement ring on her finger]

[In the Chapel of Love...]

Minister: [to Skeeter] Would thou love her? Comfort her? Honor her in sickness and in health? As long as you both shall live?

Skeeter: I will.

Minister: I now pronounce you...husband and wife.

[Skeeter and Karen kiss]

[In the Carousel...]

Rusty: Frisky, I remember the day I first met you.

Frisky: Yes.

Rusty: [takes out an engagement ring] I wish that I would like to be with you forever.

Frisky: [gasps] Is that the Wishing Stone?

Rusty: Sort of though. But, but, Will you....marry me?

Frisky: [pauses for a minute as the ride goes in motion] Yes.

[She puts the ring on her finger]

[In the Rollo-Coaster. As the train car starts to go up the hill...]

Freddie: Sophia, I... What a night we are having.

Sophia: Yes.

Freddie: But, will you...[takes out the engagement ring]....marry me?

[As the car starts to go down the hill]

Sophia: [puts the ring on her finger] Yes.

[The montage goes to all the newly-engaged couples taking a stroll around the park]

Nancy Adams: Love goes on and on and on...

Once we watched a lazy world go by.

Now the days seem to fly.

Life is brief, but when it's gone.

Love goes on and on.

Fear Factor
[Disclaimer]

[TV-PG (DV)]

Joe: Good evening. I'm Joe Rogan. Tonight's episode contains extreme stunts which may be too sensitive for some viewers. Parental discretion is strongly recommended. The stunts have been designed and supervised by trained professionals. They are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime!

...

[At the boy cubs' cave, the cub couples (sitting in lawn chairs) talk about Fear Factor]

Frisky: [reading the article in Critter Health Magazine] Fear Factor, a show where greatest fears can become a reality. Compete in six extreme stunts and win $100,000.

Buttons: I've seen this show a few times already. Where the stunts not only test physically but mentally as well.

Bearbette: Well, I'll be. I remember a long time ago, Freddie did a contest about whether boy cubs or girl cubs are better.

[Clips from Anything You Do? are shown]

Frisky: I remember that. I remember when you and Buttons climbed up trees very high and you slid down the waterline.

Buttons: We had no winner.

Rusty: It was all a bunch of ties.

[Suddenly, Baby Whale plays on Sarah's music player]

Sarah: Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Baby whale, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Baby whale.

[She dances near the cub couples]

Rusty: That song! It's Sarah's Baby Whale song! Sarah! Sarah!

[Sarah keeps dancing and singing the whale]

Rusty: Excuse me!

[He slaps Sarah on the shoulder and pins her to the ground]

Sarah: Hey, Rusty! What are you doing!?

[Rusty turns off the player]

Rusty: Do you have headphones?

Sarah: Ummm....maybe.

Rusty: Can you listen to that somewhere else!?

Sarah: What a grouch. [leaves]

Rusty: There. Anyway, If Buttons and Bearbette competed in the contest years ago. We should go on Fear Factor.

Frisky: I'll be.

[Just then, Skeeter and Turner approached them]

Skeeter: What's up, cub couples? Trying out for Fear Factor?

Rusty: Yes.

Turner: Skeeter and I are competing as well.

Skeeter: Karen couldn't try out cause she's too afraid. And Freddie, he had enough of girls staring at his butt despite Sophia belonging to him. Besides, he already competed on Cat Eat Cat, he would have to wait a year before he goes on another game show.

Turner: So Skeeter chose me to be my partner.

...

[While the cub couples take a walk, Syco and Ramona spy on them]

Syco: You hear, Ramona? Once we get someone else to compete on Fear Factor, I will become the richest snake in the world.

[Suddenly, they notice a sound of crunching coming from the trees]

Syco: What's that?

Ramona: I think there is a giant monster hustling through?

Syco: Let me take a look.

[He goes through the bushes and sees two grown-up grizzlies eating the leaves]

Grizzly #1: Hey! What the heck are you doing with our morning meal?

Syco: Umm... I was just going through the trees.

Grizzly #2: What do you want anyway?

Syco: My iguana friend, Ramona and I just wanted to ask someone a favor.

Ramona: We want you to compete on a reality game show called Fear Factor.

Grizzly #1: Fear Factor?

Grizzly #2: It's that show where you can win $100,000 by completing six extreme stunts.

Syco: Y-e-e-s-s-s. We tried out for it but we got disqualified.

Ramona: So we want you to compete.

Grizzly #1: Count us in.

Grizzly #2: We are competing.

Ramona: Very well. Come on, Syco, let's get the heck out of here.

[As Syco and Ramona leave, the grizzlies start to walk towards the boy cubs.]

Bearbette: Syco? What's he doing here?

Buttons: Beats me.

Grizzly #2: Hey, you! Bearbutt!

[The boy cubs face them]

Buttons: Huh?

Grizzly #1: It's been a while, Buttons and Rusty.

Rusty: Huh? How did you know it was us?

Grizzly #2: Ummm..., don't you remember us?

Grizzly #1: It's me, Junior.

Grizzly #2: And me, Vinny.

Buttons: YOU!

Rusty: We know you two!

Buttons: We thought you've been sent away years ago.

Vinny: We've beaten you a long time ago.

[Clips from Arrival of Fittest are shown]

Junior: [VO] We stamped your paw, Buttons.

Vinny: [VO] We've been attempting to trick you. And your papa too!

Buttons: [VO] You attempted to cheat! We won!

Vinny: [VO] No, we won!

Rusty: [VO] You lost! And you got sent away to Golden Gander Resort.

[Back to the present]

Vinny: Oh, we forgot about that.

Junior: But it doesn't matter because now, we're competing on Fear Factor!

Vinny: And we're gonna win $100,000!

[He kicks Rusty's rear end. Junior kicks Buttons'. They snicker.]

[The boy cubs walk up to the girl cubs]

Bearbette: What happened?

Rusty: We have to face two darn grizzlies.

Buttons: [quivering] Junior and Vinny.

Frisky: Junior and Vinny?

...

Joe: You four teams have brought here for an important reason. Stare fear in the eye as you compete for $100,000. To win the money, you have to complete six extreme stunts. They not only test you physically but mentally. If you're too afraid to attempt this stunt, you're eliminated. You try a stunt but fail to complete it, you're gone. If you succeed, you will move on to the next round and that much closer to the cash.

Vinny: [snickers] We're gonna win, squirts.

[Buttons growls]

...

[First Stunt]

[As Turner climbs the tree, Vinny grabs Rusty's tail, using it as a controller]

Vinny: [snickers] You're gonna miss this, turtle snake.

[Junior presses Buttons' tail as if it were a fire button, Turner throws the flag at Skeeter.]

Rusty: Hey! Tails are not video game consoles!

...

[Foxes' Turn]

Junior: I've poured glue on the trees.

Vinny: [snickers] Pretty soon, that ol' fox will get stuck in history.

Junior: Wait till I smell the girl bear's tail.

[He walks slowly to Bearbette's backside and sniffs her tail. Vinny sees Rusty climbing to the top of the tree, Junior presses Bearbette's rear end as Rusty throws the flag over to Frisky]

Bearbette: [growling] Stop that, you grizzly goons!

Buttons: Bearbette's tail is not a videogame button!

Junior: OH YEAH!?

...

[Second stunt. Joe pulls off a cloth revealing a tank full of squid. All of the teams react.]

Buttons: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!

Frisky: Oh my gosh.

Skeeter: What the heck is this?

Rusty: Do we have to swim in fishes?

Joe: It's more than fishes. This is actually squid. Your partner will be swimming in there looking for a bottle. [shows two bottles] You are going to find a bottle of worms. If the bottle contains sand, you must swim again and look for another one. If the bottle contains worms, you will give it to your man. He will have one minute to fill up all the worms in [pulls a small tank filled with piranha] piranha.

Turner: WHAT!?

Joe: Using only your mouths.

Bearbette: Oh my!

Joe: If you're too afraid to attempt this stunt, you will be eliminated. If you freak out, vomit, or if you get injured from the piranhas, you're gone. If you succeed, you will move on to the next round.

...

[Skeeter's turn.]

Joe: Ready, Skeeter?

Skeeter: Ready!

Joe: In 3...2...1, GO!

[Skeeter jumps into the squid and swims to find a bottle of sand]

Joe: Sand!

[Skeeter swims back in and finds another bottle of sand]

Joe: Sand! Go!

[Just as Skeeter swims back in, he chokes. Turner quickly grabs a bucket and puts it toward Skeeter]

Turner: Skeeter!?

[Skeeter vomits off-screen]

Skeeter: BLAH! BLAH! I will never ever swim in a pool filled with fish again! It's nasty! Turner, take me to Macquarie.

...

[Bears' turn, Junior and Vinny see Bearbette in her bikini.]

Vinny: Look at that bear. Isn't she cute?

Junior: I can tell that, Vin. She is the hottest bear I've ever seen.

Vinny: Gotta love that body.

[They both stare at her stomach]

Vinny: Cute belly.

Junior: She's the hottest bear I've ever seen.

Vinny: Her perfume smells like honey.

Frisky: Hey, you bears! Bearbette belongs to Buttons.

Vinny: Oh yeah!?

[Bearbette dives into the squid and swims to find a bottle. She opens it and out comes sand.]

Joe: Sand!

[Bearbette swims again and finds another bottle. She opens it and sand comes out.]

Joe: Sand! Hurry!

[Bearbette opens another bottle and out comes sand]

Buttons: Come on, Bearbette! Look for worms.

[Bearbette opens another bottle and out comes worms]

Joe: Worms! Go, Buttons! Go!

[Buttons begins bobbing the worms in his mouth and starts to drop them into the piranha. He starts to pain as the piranhas bite his mouth.]

Joe: Hurry, Buttons! Hurry!

Bearbette: Come on, Buttons! Come on!

[As the timer reaches ten seconds, Buttons grabs another set of worms]

Joe: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Time!

Buttons: Darn!

Bearbette: Oh no! [looks at Buttons' mouth] That was a big cut on your mouth.

[The grizzlies laugh at the bears]

Junior: Grizzlies 1.

Vinny: Buttons Zip.

Joe: You didn't put all the worms in time. We got to send you both packing. Take it easy.

Buttons: See you later, Rusty.

[The grizzlies leer at Bearbette’s rear end]

Vinny: Bye, bye, Honey butt.

Junior: And to you, brown butt.

Rusty: [growls] Those goons.

...

[As Frisky takes off her shirt to reveal her bikini, Junior and Vinny wolf whistle. A saxophone is played.]

Junior: Look at her body.

Vinny: Yeah. She is really a 10.

[They both stare at her stomach]

Junior: She is really dang hot.

Vinny: The hottest vixen I've ever seen in my life.

[Frisky swims in the squid and finds a bottle of worms]

Joe: Worms! Go, Rusty!

[Rusty quickly fills the worms up in the piranha]

Rusty: Ouch! Ouch!

Frisky: Come on, Rusty! You can do it!

[As the timer reaches ten seconds, Rusty quickly grabs the last worm]

Joe: 5...4...3...!

[Rusty places the worm into the piranha tank]

Joe: Right on time!

[Frisky hugs Rusty]

Frisky: I knew you could do it, Rusty!

Rusty: Thanks, Frisk. Despite having two small scars on my muzzle.

Joe: Here's the situation. Since the fox couple completed the stunt and all the others failed it, if you grizzlies complete this stunt, it will be between you and the fox couple for the $100,000. If you grizzlies fail it, the fox couple wins $25,000 and all of the other teams will compete for the remaining $75,000.

Junior: No matter what happens, we will see your hot body in your bikini, Vrisky!

Frisky: It's Frisky!

[Junior swims in the squid and gets out a bottle. As he opens it, out comes sand.]

Joe: Sand! Hurry!

[Junior goes back into the squid and gets out another bottle. He opens it to find worms.]

Joe: Worms! Go, Vinny! Go!

[Vinny grabs the worms from his mouth and puts a few in the tank with piranha. Suddenly, the piranhas bite Vinny's muzzle]

Vinny: OUCH! OUCH! MEDIC! [scars appear throughout his mouth] OUCH!

Junior: Don't worry about those scary fish! Just fill 'em up!

Vinny: I can't! My mouth hurts.

[Junior quickly grabs Vinny and rushes him out of the forest]

Joe: I guess Vinny has a fear of the piranhas. The good news is, they are still in it. Rusty and Frisky, since you're the only couple who have completed it, you just won $25,000!

[Rusty and Frisky hug and celebrate]

Joe: Congratulations! And tomorrow, you and the other teams will be competing against each other with the remaining $75,000 and the title of Fear Factor champions. So it's all of you coming back tomorrow. So, get a good night's rest. I'll see you all then!

...

[Third stunt, during Skeeter and Turner's turn, the grizzlies walk near the girl cubs (both wearing their bikinis)]

Junior: [sniffing Bearbette's fur] Look. She smells like honey.

Vinny: [sniffing Frisky's fur] Smells like perfume.

[The girl cubs both growl.]

...

[Junior and Vinny see Bearbette while waiting for Buttons with the strobe. They both stare at her middle and wolf whistle]

Junior: I see that bear chick again.

Vinny: She should be on a bikini magazine.

Frisky: Why don't you two bears shut your goldarn mouths up about Bearbette!

[She duct tapes Vinny's mouth]

Rusty: Junior, Vinny, leave my girl alone!

[He duct tapes Junior and Vinny's mouth and ties their paws with rubber bands. Frisky shows the two the engagement ring.]

Frisky: I belong to Rusty!

...

[During the foxes' turn, the duct-taped grizzlies walk close to Bearbette's backside. They snicker.]

Buttons: HEY, YOU GRIZZLIES! Get away from my sweet Bearbette!

Bearbette: You goons have caused enough trouble!

...

[Grizzlies' turn. While Vinny gets ready to dive into the pool.]

Joe: The time to beat is 5:55. If you beat that time, you'll send Skeeter and Turner home. Ready?

Junior and Vinny: Ready?

Joe: In 3...2...1...GO!

[Vinny jumps into the water and swims to grab a strobe]

Bearbette: If they do not beat that time, we won't be seeing those grizzlies again.

Frisky: I had enough of their crazy antics.

Bearbette: Me too. Staring at our bellies, smelling the fur of someone they're not related to..

[After Vinny gives the strobe light to Junior, who touches the water with his paws.]

Junior: [shivers] Oooooh. It's cold!

Vinny: Cone on, Junior. Jump! Jump! Jump!

Junior: Temperature is like 40 degrees.

[The other teams chant "JUMP!"]

Joe: JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! What the heck are you doing, Junior?

Junior: I can't get in!

Joe: You have to get in!

[The other teams chant "JUMP!"]

Vinny: Well... [pulls down Junior's swimming trunks]

Frisky: Nice butt, Junior!

[Junior quickly pulls his swimming trunks up and Vinny pushes him into the pool. Junior slowly swims to the chute where places the strobe. Joe's watch reads 5:55.]

Cub couples: Five...four...three...two...one!

[The cub couples, Skeeter and Turner celebrate]

Joe: Congrats, you six! You've made it through this stunt. Let's get out of here and see what tomorrow has in store.

[As Junior and Vinny grab the final strobe light]

Vinny: Where did those bikini chicks go?

Junior: I don't know.

...

Frisky: Well, those grizzlies are finally done for.

Bearbette: No more body jokes on us. No more smelling of our fur.

Frisky: No more leering at our bellies or behinds.

...

[In the fifth stunt...]

Joe: Today, you will be bobbing for these. [shows a jar of cockroaches] Cockroaches.

[All of the partners react]

Joe: But, you will not be bobbing them in water. No way! Instead, you will be bobbing for them in this...! [pulls the cloth revealing a table of animal lard]

Bearbette: Oh my!

Buttons: Ooooooh!

Rusty: What is this!?

Frisky: Is this cream from hell?

Tuner: Eeeeeeew! Is this cheese!?

Skeeter: Or rotten milk?

Joe: Actually, it's animal lard. You and your partner will alternate bobbing for cockroaches in 10,000 pounds of animal lard using only your mouths and put it into this jar here. You have 90 seconds to complete this stunt. If you're too afraid to attempt this stunt, you're eliminated. If you succeed, you will be in the running for tomorrow's final stunt for $50,000.

...

[Skeeter and Turner's turn]

Skeeter: No way! No way I'm going to stick my head in that animal lard.

Turner: Me neither. We are leaving! Bye!

[They both leave]

...

[In the final stunt, Rusty jumps over tractor-trailers in attempt to rescue Frisky as a runaway train approaches her]

Frisky: Help me, Rusty! Help me!

[Rusty jumps down and unties Frisky at the last second.]

Joe: TIME!

Frisky: Whew! You saved me!

[Rusty and Frisky kiss]

Joe: Ooh. [looks at his watch] Three minutes and four seconds.

Rusty: All right.

Joe: Let's see if the bear couple can beat that.

[Joe ties up Bearbette on the tracks]

Rusty: I say we should have up to six children.

Frisky: I think six would be the max.

[Meanwhile, Buttons jumps over tractor-trailers. As the train approaches...]

Bearbette: HELP! HELP! HELP!

[Buttons quickly unties Bearbette]

Joe: TIME! [looks at his watch] Three minutes...EVEN!!!

[Buttons and Bearbette celebrate by kissing at each other]

Frisky: At least we won $25,000, Rusty.

Joe: Congratulations, Buttons and Bearbette! You've climbed a tree with flags, filled worms from squid, grabbed the strobes, transferred scorpions into boxes, you've bobbed for cockroaches, and you saved your mate from the trains. You are the Fear Factor champions. And evidently, fear is not a factor for both of you.

...

[Buttons' apartment, Buttons and Bearbette make love]

Buttons: What should we do with the money?

Bearbette: Let's spend it towards our wedding.

Buttons: When will that take place?

Bearbette: In about four years from now. In Crystal Bayou.

Buttons: What about our honeymoon?

Bearbette: Umm...lets make this a secret.

Buttons: Okay. [kisses Bearbette's middle twice]

Bearbette: [giggles] Two kisses on my stomach? What does that mean?

Buttons: We will have at least two children.

Bearbette: Two. That'll work.

[Frisky's cave. Rusty and Frisky make love]

Frisky: I was wondering if we can tie the knot in three years.

Rusty: Make that four.

[He rubs Frisky's stomach]

Frisky: What's a good place for a honeymoon?

Rusty: Hmm. We got a long way to go. [kisses Frisky's middle]

Frisky: [giggles] Does this look like the Sarah spot?

Rusty: Or I should say "The Frisky Spot."

...

Graduation
[While the boy cubs and Sarah garden with Vixey]

Vixey: What's that snake?

Rusty: It's not a snake, Vixey. This is a hose.

Vixey: Hose?

Buttons: A hose is where water comes out to water the plants.

[Rusty sprays water on the plants. He then hands Vixey the hose.]

Vixey: [pulls the trigger and sprays Sarah] Belly!

Sarah: VIXEY!

[Buttons turns the water off and Sarah confronts Vixey]

Sarah: Vixey, does this look like my bathing suit? Do you see my belly?

Vixey: Ummmm...no.

Sarah: I am not a plant! I am wearing my dress. And the dress is not a bathing suit!

Rusty: She's right. Now point the hose at the plants. Not Sarah. Not me. Nor Buttons.

[Just as Vixey points the hose at the plants...]

Quacker: QUACK! Urgent delivery for Buttons!

[He hands the telegram to Buttons]

Buttons: [reading] "URGENT MESSAGE FROM YOUR MOTHER AND AUNT FRANCINE: Buttons, please come to Sweet Water Valley as soon as possible. Your grandmother has taken off life support and is at her last hours of life. Please come immediately! - Mom and Aunt Francine" [not reading then gasps] Oh no. Gram!

Rusty: What's the matter, Buttons?

Buttons: [running back to his apartment] Gram is dying. I got to go!

Rusty: What-what? She's dying?

Buttons: Yes!

Rusty: Can I go with you?

Buttons: No. I must go alone. I'll tell you all about it later.

Vixey: Gram?

Rusty: Buttons' grandmother, Grandma Bear. She has Alzheimer's Disease.

Sarah: Alzheimer's Disease?

Rusty: A memory loss disease. I'll explain this more later.

[Suddenly, Rusty's critter phone rings]

Rusty: Hello?

Johnny: Hi, Rust. It's Johnny.

Rusty: Hi, Johnny.

Johnny: I am inviting you to commencement tomorrow night at 7:00 at the football stadium.

Rusty: You and Robin will soon be High School graduates!

Johnny: Yep! Only one more day!

Rusty: I'll be there. See you tomorrow, John. Bye-bye! [hangs up]

Sarah: That happens to be the day before my graduation.

Rusty: Wow! Two consecutive days of graduations. First, Johnny and Robin's then the next day Sarah's.

Sarah: Can I go to Johnny's commencement?

Rusty: No, Sarah. Johnny only invited me. And I presume Robin is going to invite the girl cubs too. Besides, High School commencements are invitation-only events. You see when a student completes the three cycles of general education which are Elementary, Middle School, and High School, you are a graduate. And thus that human is not a child anymore. He or she is officially an adult. And this indicates you can now go out into the real world. And a special ceremony where you and many other students will be recognized is called commencement. Here, the student can invite their families over.

Sarah: Wow!

Vixey: Graduation?

Rusty: Yeah and in about three months from now, Vixey will be starting school!

Sarah: Yeah, Vixey! I will be giving you some good advice on what school is in the summer!

Vixey: Yay! [lifts up Sarah's dress and rubs her stomach] Belly! Belly! Belly!

Sarah: [giggles] Oh, Vixey. I'm getting hysterical!

Vixey: [playing the drums on Sarah's stomach] Belly! Belly! Belly!

[She kisses Sarah's middle]

Rusty: She loves to kiss mom's belly.

...

[At Sweet Water Valley, Buttons arrives at the hospice]

Buttons: Mom!

[Bridgette and Francine run over to and hug him]

Bridgette: Buttons!

Francine: Oh my!

Bridgette: You got here just in time. Gram only has a few minutes of life left.

[Bruce appears]

Bruce: Hi, cousin.

Buttons: Bruce! [hugs him] Oh my. I got to talk to her one last time. [walks to Gram on her deathbed] Gram?

[Gram's heart beats]

Buttons: Gram. Hi. [shows her engagement ring] Look at this. Me and Bearbette are getting married four years from now. We're going to be a couple. I remember we gave you TLC years ago. And I remember that wonderful story you taught me when I was a cub. [starts telling her story] There once was a little girl bear named Bearbette and her companion named Frisky. They had two friends named Buttons and Rusty. It was about that time a tricky traveling magician who always had an eye on Bearbette's locket. Believing it to have great and possibly magical value he decided to trick her into giving it up.

[As he continues to tell the story, his mother and aunt smile.]

Bridgette: I remember that story. Haven't heard it in years. [shows her the quilt Gram made] She made this.

[Moments later, as Buttons finishes the story]

Buttons: ...They remembered the lesson they learned that day, patience.

[Gram smiles then dies. Buttons feels Gram and embraces his mother, aunt, and Bruce as they mourn over Gram]

[At the same time, at the football stadium, Rusty's critter phone beeps. Rusty takes his phone and reads a text saying "She's gone."]

Rusty: [mouthing] Oh no.

Frisky: What happened, Rusty?

Rusty: Buttons' grandmother died.

Bearbette: [whispering] No.

Rusty: [reading text] "Gram requested the funeral only attended by me, mom, Bruce and Aunt Francine. Please send me your graduation wishes to Johnny and Robin."

Bearbette: I remember a long time ago when we were cubs, we gave her TLC.

[Clips from The Gram Who Came To Dinner are shown]

[Just as Pomp and Circumstances starts playing, Rusty texts "Me and the girls send your condolences."]

...

[Robin steps up to the microphone]

Robin: Welcome, family, friends, faculty, and fellow graduates. Our time has come to reach the end of our thirteen-year journey towards the real world. I truly cannot believe the day we have been waiting for is finally here. The day we all worked so hard for, the day we finally have to say goodbye to.... High School and to general education. We are unique because from kindergarten to twelfth grade we have grown up with the same people in the same town. I remember the day I first met my fiancée, Johnny at Summer Camp after I moved from my original county as I am an exchange student. I remember on days when we were in Middle or High School, we used to hang around with him with our fellow classmates at school dances, the football games, and the prom. And we also spent time with four of our beloved critter friends Buttons, Bearbette, Rusty and Frisky. Through our four years, we made new friends, joined clubs, and became a part of a team. Many of our teachers and staff members are now gone. We can remember this year that a snake almost ruined our homecoming festivities or the incident this past year with the attempted assassination of our physics teacher Mrs. Smiley, luckily she survived. Man, we will never forget those times. As a community, we are so proud of our graduating class. Tomorrow, our futures begin. Good or bad, it's ours. I'd like to thank my parents for being my number one supporters. I am forever thankful for everything you have done for me throughout this past thirteen years. We did it. Four years later and are graduating. I'd like to ask you to look at the two people sitting beside you and congratulate one another. Because every single one of you deserves this moment right now. Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck, I hope you never forget to have a wonderful day!

[The Next Day...]

[Little Critter School Graduation]

Miss Love: Good afternoon, critter moms and dads. Welcome to our graduation ceremony of the Little Critter School. The beginning of these ten young critters' time was a time of building trust with the children......and with you. It was a time of building relationships together and creating a team with one shared goal: Providing your youngins with what they needed to develop and grow as they begin to grow older. Right now, before we get into the main course. I would like to have all the youngins come for their final storytime as my student teacher, Mr. Mabor reads to them Oh, The Places You'll Go!

[The class gathers around the circle as Mr. Mabor tells them said story]

...

Miss Love: Thank you, Mr. Mabor. Throughout their time at the Little Critter School, my usual storyteller is LeMar Hutton who is the librarian here in Chucklewood. Unfortunately, LeMar is unable to come today so I let Mr. Mabor be our storyteller for today. You know, when the youngins began here. I provided them a song on getting to know your classmates well. I would like them to stand up and join me as we sing this special song one last time.

[The class stands up and Miss Love plays the special song on the piano]

Miss Love: Yep. This song made our class the best of friends. [shows Memory Wall] This is a memory wall that we made of the fun times we had. Every month, we go swimming at the gym with our two gym teachers, Jester and Jonah, to teach the critters how to swim. Boy, many of the class become very powerful swimmers. My favorite memory on Swim Day is that on the final recreational swim, Ed pulled me into the pool and splashed me! Many of the class splashed me sometimes. Not only did we go swimming, the class learned how to be a real sport. Jester provided us with lots of activities. We had fun holiday parties for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's, and Easter. We went on field trips to the grocery store, farm, zoo, police station, hospital, theme park just to name a few and we sure had an interactive experience. This past January, we participated in a punt, pass and kick competition with Jester. Sarah won the contest and eventually went on to Nanami, where she took part in the National Championship and won by a half a foot. Congratulations to Sarah.

[Applause]

Miss Love: We had many surprise guests at the school. We met Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Firefighter Drew, Chief Sue Hamilton, Plyto just to name a few. Just before their time at the school ended, the Danger Rangers visited there to talk to the class about the safety skills they learned throughout their term. Cause remember "Safety rules!" I'm glad by the time my kids go out into the next chapter in their life, they can be official Danger Rangers.

Buttons and Rusty: [whispering] The Danger Rangers?

Miss Love: And now, it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for. The presentation of our diplomas for the school. When I call your name, you will come on up and Mr. Mabor will give you your diploma.

...

Miss Love: Well, my students. I can say this right now, I nearby declare your graduates. As you prepare to move on to the next chapter of your life, the world is always a rainbow. In fact, I have one more song for you to sing. So, for the very last time, I would like for you to stand up and join me as we sing The World Is A Rainbow.

...

[Two Months Later...]

[Johnny's house. Johnny loads up boxes into his car.]

Johnny: Well, that's that.

Mr. Boyett: Got your things ready?

Johnny: Yes, dad.

[He looks at a picture of himself with Buttons and Rusty when he was young.]

Johnny: [sighs] I got to have one last chance to say goodbye to Buttons and Rusty.

[Robin's house. Robin finishes packing up her car. Then she looks at her swimming pool.]

Robin: [crying] Goodbye, swimming pool. Thirteen summers of swimming in you were so much fun. [walking to the bedroom] Goodbye, bedroom.

Harold: Robin?

Robin: Yes, pop.

Harold: Don't cry. You'll be back here again soon. Besides, the pool is not going anywhere. Except it needs some Tender Loving Care.

Robin: Thank you. Can we go to Chucklewood?

Harold: What for?

Robin: I want to say goodbye to Bearbette and Frisky. I am not going to be seeing them again for quite some time.

Harold: Go ahead.

[Chucklewood, Girl Cubs' Cave. Johnny and Robin prepare to say goodbye.]

Johnny: Freddie, I remember the day we read magazines on girls in bikinis.

Freddie: Yeah. But now I have a fiancée.

Skeeter: Me and Turner will never forget that tiger ruining our golf tournament.

Johnny: [to the men cubs] I'll remember the day we got all the Star Badges.

Buttons: Yep. I remember Zak called us "Chucklewood Litters"

Rusty: And we defeated Vaderman World, Inc. The company is gone forever.

Robin: [to the women cubs] I remember visiting the mall, movie theater.

Bearbette: Yep. And we remember the day we got locked in the library.

Frisky: And our visits to Crystal Bayou.

[Robin lifts up Sarah's dress and rubs her stomach for the last time who giggles]

Robin: I am going to miss rubbing your belly and kissing your spot, Sarah.

Sarah: [giggles] That's the Sarah Spot, Robin.

[Robin hugs Sarah]

Robin: Goodbye, Sarah. I'm going to miss you so much.

[Robin kisses Sarah's middle]

Sarah: Goodbye, Robin!

[She hugs and lifts up Robin's shirt and kisses her middle]

Robin: [giggles] A kiss on my spot.

[As Johnny and Robin go into their cars]

Johnny: I'll bet we'll never find another forest like this.

Robin: A place filled with critters like you.

Buttons: We are going to miss you, Johnny.

Bearbette: We are gonna miss you, Robin.

[The cars begin driving off...]

Johnny: Goodbye, Buttons and Rusty!

Robin: Goodbye, Bearbette and Frisky!

[As the cars drive far away from Chucklewood, Nobody Does It Better starts playing.]

Buttons: Nobody does it better

Makes us feel sad for the rest

Bearbette: Nobody does it like both of you

You two are the best.

[As the cars pass the "Leaving Chucklewood" sign, clips from previous episodes are shown]

Fox Couple: We weren't lookin' but somehow you found us.

It tried to hide from your friend light.

Bear Couple: But like heaven above us.

Our two best friends here.

Are keepin' all our secrets safe tonight.

Rusty: And nobody does it better

Though sometimes we wish someone could

Frisky: Nobody does it quite the way you do

Why'd you have to be so good?

Buttons: The way that you held us

Whenever you held us

Bearbette: There's some kind of magic inside you

Frisky: That keeps us from runnin'

But just keep it comin'

Rusty: How'd you learn to do the things you do?

All couples: Nobody does it better

Makes us feel sad for the rest

Nobody does it like both of you

You two are the best.

[The couples look down as they return inside the cave]

[One week later...]

[Sarah's Cave]

[Sarah teaches Vixey all about school...]

Sarah: Okay, Vixey. You're going to learn about the facts of life. In five more days, you will start school.

Vixey: School! School!

Sarah: Yes! School is a place where all young critters like you learn the alphabet, numbers, words and many things.

Vixey: Alpha-bet?

Sarah: Yes. Letters of the alphabet. Learning is a never ending process. Before the day is done, you'll make new friends.

[She shows a picture of Miss Love]

Sarah: This is Miss Love. She will be your teacher. She is a beaver, you know.

Vixey: Beaver?

Sarah: Yes. She is very friendly.

Vixey: Beaver!

Sarah: [chuckles] Yeah. She not only teaches, she sings and entertains you with a puppet show.

Vixey: Puppet show?

Sarah: Yeah. This is to make the class even more entertaining. [raises her hand] This is the signal used to get Miss Love attention.

[Vixey runs over to Sarah and starts to raise her dress up to press her middle but is stopped]

Sarah: No, Sarah! [raises her hand again] Now, try it.

Vixey: Raising your hand? [does so]

Sarah: Good job. The school features a Do and Learn center. As the old saying goes that "You learn by doing. It may seem like playing." You can have arts and crafts, puzzles, games, building blocks and more. [shows a picture of LeMar] There are also storytime visits with LeMar Hutton, who is the librarian in Chucklewood. He doesn't have to take his word for it.

Vixey: Librarian.

Sarah: [shows another picture] These are Jester and Jonah. They will be your gym teachers to get your body exercised.

Vixey: Jester and Jonah?

Sarah: [shows a picture of Jonah in swimming trunks] And do you see that little part in the middle of Jonah's belly? That's a belly ring. It's a piece of jewelry you can pierce on your spot. You should not press it.

Vixey: Belly ring. Not press it.

Sarah: Yep. Now, there will be field trips to places that you have never been before.

Vixey: Field trips?

Sarah: It's a big part of the learning experience. There are field trips to the farm, zoo, museums, and more! Each month, the school has monthly days where Miss Love takes you to the gym's pool for swim days. For the first half of your time, it's swimming lessons. Afterwards, it's a free swim. [shows a picture of Miss Love in her swimwear] This is Miss Love in her swimsuit.

Vixey: [looks at Miss Love's swimwear] Belly?

Sarah: [laughs] No, no. Her swimwear does not have her belly visible. One of my classmates mistaken her swimwear for undergarments.

[Suddenly, Lisa (bikini) appears]

Lisa: Hey, Sarah, who's this?

Sarah: This is my cousin, Vixey.

Vixey: [looks at Lisa's stomach] Belly....belly....[runs over to Lisa and rubs her stomach] Belly!

Lisa: [giggles] Your cousin!

[Vixey kisses Lisa's middle]

Lisa: [giggles] That tickles! She kissed my belly spot!

Sarah: She loves to play on bellies. [points to her middle] She loves to kiss right here too. Anyway, I was showing her what school is like.

Lisa: Wow! Want to go swimming?

Sarah: Good idea!

[Chucklewood Lake]

Sarah: [taking off her dress to reveal her bikini] See what we're wearing? This is a bikini.

Lisa: You can see our bellies.

Vixey: [points to both Sarah and Lisa's stomachs] Bellies!

Sarah: [giggles] Right. And this little round circle on ours is our spot. In humans, this is called a belly button. [points to her middle] This is the Sarah spot. [points to Lisa's middle] This is the Lisa spot. Now, you are wearing a maillot which your belly is not shown.

Vixey: Maillot?

Sarah: Now for Swim Day, the girls wear maillots.

Lisa: Miss Love does not want to see boys stare at girls' bellies.

Vixey: Girls' bellies?

Sarah: Good thing you have a maillot on.

Lisa: We wear bikinis outside of school. In-school, we wear maillots.

Vixey: [presses Sarah's stomach into the lake] Belly!

Lisa: [laughs] Vixey!

Vixey: [presses Lisa's stomach into the lake] Belly!

[She jumps into the lake and splashes Sarah and Lisa. She then rubs both of their stomachs]

Sarah: [giggles] Vixey! You're rubbing our bellies!

Lisa: [giggling] We're getting ticklish!

Vixey: [kisses Lisa's middle and dunks her] Sarah spot! [kisses Sarah's middle and dunks her] Sarah spot!

[The three then splash at each other laughing]

Lisa: [giggles] Vixey! I'm getting ticklish with your belly kisses!

Sarah: [giggles] My belly is like jelly!

...

[Another week later...]

[Vixey runs over to her mother's bedroom. She lifts up her mother's pajamas and...]

Vixey: [pressing her mother's middle] Belly! Belly! First day of school! First day of school!

[Rosie giggles as Vixey kisses her mother's middle]

Rosie: Okay, okay, Vixey! First day of school!

[A montage is shown with Rosie bathing Vixey, picking a dress, eating breakfast and walking her to school. At the school, various other young critters enter the school with their folks. Cut to Sully and his son.]

Sully: Okay, Little Sull. You are ready to learn the facts of life.

Sully Jr.: Yes, pop. I'll be Danger Ranger ready!

Sully: Cause remember, safety rules!

Rosie: Here we are. The Little Critter School.

[Rosie, George and Vixey enter the school]

Miss Love: Hello, George and Rosie. This must be Vixey.

Vixey: [starts to run to Miss Love] Belly! Belly!

Rosie: [stops Vixey] Wait a minute, Vixey! That's Miss Love. She's your teacher.

Vixey: Miss Love?

George: Yes. She's very friendly.

[Vixey plays on Miss Love's dress.]

Miss Love: Vixey! Stop that!

[Rosie pulls Vixey away]

Rosie: Sorry about that, Miss Love. Vixey loves to play on bellies and she thinks she's looking for your belly.

Miss Love: That's okay. You got all your information needed.

George: Yes, ma'am.

[Vixey sits on a chair]

Vixey: Chair! Chair!

Rosie: I guess she's excited for school. Well, best be off.

[George and Rosie walk to Vixey]

George: Have a good time at school, Vixey!

Vixey: I will, daddy.

[She presses George's stomach and he chuckles. She walks to Rosie and kisses her middle.]

Rosie: [giggles] You will be a smart girl and make new friends.

Vixey: I will, mommy. [presses Rosie's middle] Belly!

George: [chuckles] Vixey loves to press Rosie's belly spot. Oh, Sarah said "hello."

Miss Love: Tell her to say "Hi" for me.

Rosie and George: We will.

[They both leave]

[Fox Family Cave]

George: First Rusty, then Sarah, and now Vixey.

Rosie: The children are growing up.

George: Well, Rusty full grown, soon to be married to Frisky. Sarah's starting to grow up. The family will soon be better than ever.

Rosie: Just think one day, we might be grandparents.

[They both hug]

...

Retirement
Jonesy: [sighs] It's been two years since my nephew and his fiancée graduated from High School. I'm glad they are doing well in college. If you remember last time, it's not just Johnny and Robin having graduated from High School, here's what happened.

[Clips from Part 1 are shown]

Jonesy: Two years ago, while Vixey is being taught how to garden by my friends, Buttons and Rusty, Buttons received a telegram from his mother and aunt that Grandma Bear, which he calls her "Gram" was dying. He decided to go alone rather than inviting Rusty over. The very next day, as commencement had started, Buttons tells the dying Gram the story she told him when he was a young cub. She later died. And then, as Johnny and Robin graduated from High School. The next day, Sarah, Rusty's ticklish cousin, and her friends graduated from The Little Critter School. She is progressing the journey from girl to woman. Two months later, Johnny's father arrived and is invited to come home with him in between his studies in college. Robin decided to be with Johnny in between her studies as well. So, Johnny and Robin said their last goodbyes to Chucklewood as they went off to college. Johnny's journey to be a real forest ranger is bound to happen. As for Vixey, she's learning the facts of life at the Little Critter School. I just heard from Rosie that Vixey is doing very well in school.

[Back to the present]

Jonesy: And you see why I'm packing up? I am about to tell you that as Buttons and Rusty approach the Ranger Station.

[Buttons and Rusty enter the Ranger Station]

Buttons: Hi, Jonesy!

Rusty: Hello, Jone—[looks around and sees the Ranger Station empty] Jonesy, are you packing up?

Jonesy: Yes.

Buttons: You're going on vacation?

Jonesy: Yes.

Buttons: How long?

Jonesy: A indefinite vacation.

Rusty: Indefinite?

Buttons: Why?

Jonesy: I am retiring at the end of the week.

Buttons and Rusty: What!? No.

Jonesy: You see. I am getting old. When people have enough years of work experience, he/she decides to take a permanent vacation. This is called retirement. Here, let me tell you a story about my career in Chucklewood.

[Buttons and Rusty sit down on the couch with Jonesy]

...

Buttons: So, who is going to be taking over Chucklewood?

Jonesy: Roddy will be serving as my replacement on an interim basis. He will be commuting back and forth from his current forest and here.

Rusty: Roddy?

Buttons: We haven't seen him like forever.

Jonesy: After we defeated Zak Vaderman and his fellow villains, Roddy was transferred to Hickory Forest leaving me as the sole ranger. Though, Roddy will be commuting between there and Chucklewood which is located west there.

Rusty: Are you going to be here for our wedding with Bearbette and Frisky in a few years?

Buttons: And Freddie too.

Jonesy: I will.

...

[Riding on Jonesy's Jeep (for the last time)]

Buttons: We remember riding on your Jeep telling you all the stories of holidays.

Rusty: I remember rescuing us from the waterfall when we found the Treasure of Chucklewood.

Jonesy: Yeah, this one I've purchased is brand new in my first year patrolling Chucklewood.

...

[The very next day, Jonesy all packed up getting ready to say goodbye to all critters.]

George: [crying] We're going to miss you so much, Jonesy!

Rosie: Chucklewood will never be the same without you.

...

[One Year Later]

[Frisky's Cave]

Frisky: Oh, Rusty dear!

Rusty: Yes, Frisky?

Frisky: We got to plan our wedding. It's been three years since we've been engaged.

Rusty: Oh! Today's the day we were planning our wedding.

Frisky: We got to call the bears and raccoons!

[Buttons' Apartment. Buttons and Bearbette make love. Buttons' critter phone rings.]

Buttons: Hello?

Frisky: Buttons! Bearbette! Please come to my cave. We have a meeting to plan our wedding!

...

[Planning The Wedding]

Rusty: Okay, guys. The purpose of this meeting is that we need to plan the wedding.

Buttons: First off, where should we have it?

Bearbette: Well, I like to have it in Crystal Bayou. It has all the population needed to hold all the attendees.

Frisky: I love that idea. How about you, Freddie?

Freddie: We can have the wedding in warm air. Sophia likes the warm weather.

Sophia: Yes, sir.

Rusty: I agree. Let's have our wedding in Crystal Bayou.

...

Frisky: So, we can let Sarah be a bridesmaid, Vixey as the flower girl.

Rusty: Sarah is too old to be a flower girl. She's a teen critter now. Vixey is the best choice for flower girl.

Buttons: Good idea! But Vixey can't press critters bellies at weddings.

[Laughter]

Bearbette: I was wondering if Bruce can be the best man.

Buttons: Football season has just started. I think he can be the best man. I'll call him tonight.

Freddie: How about Morty? I'll give him a call later tonight.

[Skeeter, Karen and their son, Benny walk past]

Skeeter: What's up, couples?

Rusty: Hi, mouse family.

Skeeter: Planning your wedding ceremony?

Bearbette: Yes, Skeeter. We will be holding our wedding next year in Crystal Bayou.

Sophia: Me, Freddie, Buttons and Bearbette, Rusty and Frisky will become Mister and Missus.

Benny: Pop, what's Crystal Bayou?

Skeeter: A place way down south of Chucklewood. It's always warm down there. An alligator named Lester lives there.

Buttons: Good thing you three dropped by. We are looking for someone to be a ring bearer.

Rusty: It's a boy who carries the rings down the aisle to the couple. Usually, the rings are tied to a pillow and then the ring bearer carries this pillow down the aisle.

Karen: Oooh.

Benny: You mean I have to carry rings on a pillow?

Frisky: [shows Benny a pillow] Yes. [gives the pillow to Benny] Now hold that sideways like a tray.

[Benny holds the pillow and walks slowly]

Karen: Easy, isn't it?

Benny: Yes, Mom! Can I be the ring bearer?

Skeeter: Of course, Benny!

Bearbette: We got our ring bearer!

[They cheer]

Rusty: Be sure to watch your telegram from Quacker for the invitation on the date the wedding will be held.

Buttons: Crystal Bayou!

Skeeter: We will.

Karen: See you, couples!

[The mouse family leaves]

Frisky: So now we know who will be the ring bearer and flower girl will be. All we have to worry about is approval from Bruce and Morty on the best men.

Rusty: Freddie, please make sure you get a response from Morty soon.

[Johnny and Roddy approach the cave]

Johnny: Hi, guys!

Buttons and Rusty: [gasps] Johnny!

[They run over to him]

Buttons: You're a forest ranger now.

Johnny: Well, sort of though. I am completing an internship with Roddy.

Roddy: Yes, pretty soon, Johnny will be my assistant forest ranger here. Once he's done with his internship, he will graduate from college and become a senior park ranger.

Johnny: I am following my uncle's steps.

Buttons: You are going to be like him.

Rusty: We are planning our wedding next year in Crystal Bayou.

Johnny: I saw that. Me and Robin are getting married next year too!

Bearbette: Really!?

Johnny: Watch your mail on when the wedding will be held.

...

[Six Months Later]

[Choosing the Dresses]

[A montage is shown as the critter couples, Johnny and Robin shop for their wedding dress. At a Tuxedo Shop, the men critters look at various wedding suits. While Bearbette and Frisky visit a bridal studio to find a wedding dress. Sophia visits a women's boutique in Fort Caulderdale.]

[Weeks later, at the Fox Family cave]

Rusty: Now, the next thing we're going to do is planning the menu.

[Jeanette hands Rusty, Buttons and Freddie a menu]

Jeanette: A very good friend of your Uncle Theodore runs an excellent catering service. And they would be able to help you guys.

[The men look at the menu]

Buttons: Hmmm. These food choices look interesting.

Freddie: Cheese trays, sliced baked ham with pineapple, baked ziti.

Rusty: Vegetable medley.

[Bearbette then looks at the menu]

Bearbette: I can say a southern fried chicken would take the course.

Jeanette: You have to pick three entrees.

Bearbette: So, we can choose southern fried chicken.

Jeanette: Okay.

Vixey: Did I hear cheese tray?

Jeanette: Ummm. Freddie did say it.

Vixey: If we're going to invite Miss Love, she is not allowed to eat meat.

Jeanette: How did you know?

Vixey: When my class went on a field trip to the restaurant, she had lettuce and tomato on whole wheat bread.

Jeanette: Wow. So, if Miss Love cannot eat meat, should I put in the cheese tray?

Rusty: Yes, we can take the cheese tray.

Frisky: I agree. At least, she will have some salad.

Jeanette: Mmm-hmm. One more entrée to go.

Frisky: Hmmm. A sliced baked ham with pineapple.

Freddie: We can have two meats available and one vegetarian friendly.

Jeanette: That's good.

Buttons: Let's go with the ham.

Jeanette: Yepper. So let's review: Southern Fried Chicken, Cheese Tray and Ham with Pineapple.

Rusty: Yes.

Jeanette: Next, you'll need to move on to the sides. You can pick two.

Buttons: Let's see. [reading] "Rice pilaf. Parsley Red Skin Potatoes, Au Gratin Potatoes, Scalloped Potatoes."

Bearbette: A Vegetable Medley?

Jeanette: Combination of veggies cooked in an oven.

Frisky: Hmmm... [reading] "Green Bean Almondine, Steamed Corn, Glazed Carrots."

George: Can vegetarians eat rice?

Jeanette: Yes, George.

George: We can have a rice pilaf. What do you think?

Sophia: Yeah!

Freddie: Let's go for it.

Jeanette: Rice pilaf it is. And now for the other side.

Rusty: Hmmm. Green Bean Almondine, Steamed Corn, Glazed Carrots, Broccoli & Cauliflower.

Frisky: Well, I guess we can have a vegetable medley. What do you think guys?

...

Jeanette: And we can have wine as a first toast for the Mister and Mrs.'s. Beer and some non-alcoholic beverages.

...

Jeanette: And I can make three small wedding cakes. One for the fox couple, one for the bear, and one for the raccoon.

Freddie: Gee! Thanks, Jeanette.

Jeanette: I'll even have a desert tray to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Rusty: Vixey, as flower girl, do you want your big brother and your future sister-in-law to give you something?

Vixey: Yes, Rusty!

Frisky: We might also give my future cousin-in-law something.

George: She's going to be excited!

[Vixey jumps to Sophia's stomach and rubs it]

Sophia: [giggles] Hey, little girl!

Vixey: [looks at her middle] Belly?

[Vixey kisses Sophia's middle]

Sophia: [giggles] That tickles! Rusty, your sister kissed my belly spot!

Freddie: That girl is a rascal.

Jeanette: When she was very young, Vixey loved to play on my belly and her mother's.

Vixey: Bellies really are like jelly.

[Laughter]

[Vixey lifts up Jeanette's shirt and kisses her middle]

Jeanette: [giggles] Oh, Vixey. I'm guessing I'm too old for belly kisses.

Freddie: Remind us of our belly blows?

Sophia: [giggles] Yes.

[Vixey walks to Frisky and looks at her middle]

Vixey: That's a nice belly.

[She puts her finger on Frisky's middle, rubs it and kisses it]

Frisky: [giggles] A belly kiss from my future sister-in-law!

...

[Later, in the library, the couples write invitations]

Frisky: One to Sarah and Cody. One to Bruce.

Bearbette: One to Plyto. One to Randal.

Rusty: Rabbit family, mouse family.

...

[Chucklewood Lake]

[Sarah and Cody daydream at each other]

[Cody lifts up Sarah's shirt and kisses her middle]

Sarah: [giggles] Kissing the Sarah spot never gets old.

Cody: Yeah, pretty soon. You may get it pierced.

Sarah: It doesn't feel like getting it pierced. I just want it the way it is.

Cody: Okay.

[They rub stomachs at each other. As they begin to stroll around the forest.]

Quacker: Quack! Special delivery for Sarah and Cody! Quack!

[He hands both the invitation]

Cody: You're invited to celebrate the marriage of Buttons/Bearbette, Rusty/Frisky, Freddie/Sophia.

Sarah: Rusty's my big cousin! He's getting married to my former babysitter!

Bruce: Thanks, coach. [reads invitation]

Coach: Get a drink! Bruce needs to read something special.

[In a sports bar, Morty and a friend of his play pool. I Can't Dance by Genesis is heard.]

Friend: Want to make the break, Morty?

Morty: Yes.

[As Morty prepares to shoot the cue ball, Quacker pulls Morty's tail (via his bill) and Morty falls down into the wall. A can of beer falls on him. A female laughs at him.]

Morty: Hey! [to Quacker] I got my tail cleaned! What are you doing, Quack?

Quacker: Morty, special delivery!

[He hands the invitation to Morty, who then quickly reads it]

Morty: I got to go! I have to read this at home. We'll start the game later.

Friend: Okay.

[Morty takes off his shirt. The female laughs at him again.]

Bartender: Here! [throws Morty a clean T-shirt]

Morty: [puts the shirt on] Thanks!

...

It's gonna take patience and time.

To do--

Into this Holy Estate these two persons present come now to be joined.

...

Omar: Do you, Buttons, take Bearbette to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto her for as long as you both shall live?

Karen: Benny!

Syco: You can't catch me, Chuckleyou Critters!

[Sam hands Benny the pillow]

Sam: Luckily, the rings weren't lost.

Benny: Thank you, Mr. Sam.

[Benny walks down the aisle normally as he gives the rings to Omar. A montage is shown as the brides exchange the rings.]

...

Bearbette: Buttons, let this ring be a symbol of my promises to you and a reminder of my devotion to you. I am honored to call you my husband.

Frisky: Rusty, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love.

Sophia: Sophia, I give you this ring to wear with love and joy. As a ring has no end, neither shall my love for you. I choose you to be my husband this day and forevermore.

Buttons: Bearbette, I give you this ring in God's name, as a symbol of all that we have promised and all that we shall share.

Rusty: Frisky, this ring is a token of my love. I marry you with this ring, with all that I have and all that I am.

Freddie: Sophia, I have for you a golden ring. The most precious metal symbolizes that your love is the most precious element in my life. The ring has no beginning and no end, which symbolizes that the love between us will never cease. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the vows which have made us husband and wife.

Omar: By the power vested and me, and by the authority of Crystal Bayou and the forest of Chucklewood, I now pronounce each of you... husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

Bearbette: [sighs] Isn't this great? Together forever.

Buttons: Yep.

...

Frisky: A toast.

Rusty: A toast.

[They clink their glasses and as they begin to drink, Sarah stops the couples]

Sarah: Don't drink that wine!

[Suddenly, a thunderbolt zaps her. Then, a cloud of smoke appears and Morlock appears.]

Dennis: Oh my!

Rosie: Morlock!

Morlock: [sinister laughs] Sorry, I came to your wedding uninvited. But are you drinking your precious wine?

Sarah: You, old dragon face!

Morlock: One sip of it will make your dreams come true.

Sarah: NO! [takes the wine bottle from the couples] Your wine will seal your mouths for good!

[She screams to summon Randal]

Morlock: Ah! That annoying wizard.

Randal: Your raided wine production? You're not invited!

Jeanette: [confused] Randal, what's going on that we don't know about?

Randal: [takes a bottle of wine and pours a sample of it and uses his binoculars he examines it] Aha! It's a chemically rigged wine!

Morlock: [sinister laughs] You old wizard! Drink the wine and your wish will come true.

Randal: No! Ancha Ancha!

[He waves his wand at Morlock but Morlock blocks it]

Morlock: It's no use!

...

[Cody gets zapped by Morlock]

Sarah: Leave my boyfriend alone!

[She screams at Morlock at maximum power]

Morlock: Did you think you could beat me, you annoying vixen? I guess I will have to resort to extremes!

[Morlock performs his artic chill spell on the couples and the couples are frozen]

Sarah: [gasps] Oh no!

Rosie: Now, look what you did!

Bridgette: You froze the couples!

Abner: Why are you turning them into critter-cicles for?

Morlock: That's only the beginning.

[He turns the climate of the Bayou to cold. Everyone (except Randal) shivers.]

Randal: Let me get you all out of this climate!

[He searches through his spell book. Just then, Morlock summons Mama Morlock, Orcro and Thump.]

...

[Sarah and Cody run behind Morlock and pull his cloak away, making him naked. Sarah throws it far away.]

Morlock: [screams] My cloak! It's gone!

Sarah: [laughs at him] The new look is in! Guess your belly button needs a big poke!

[She grabs a stick from the creek and pokes Morlock's stomach. Morlock screams.]

Sarah: [looks at Morlock's rear end] And a nice bite on your nice butt.

[She chews on Morlock's rear end]

Sarah: Cody, grab his scepter!

[Cody grabs the scepter]

Cody: You cowards!

[He points the scepter on Morlock]

Morlock: No, it can't be!

[Morlock's eyes go shut, making him blind.]

Morlock: Mama! I can't see! Help!

Mama Morlock: I'll help you, my son!

[Stacy throws a giant rock on Mama Morlock, Cody then zaps Mama Morlock, removing her clothes (revealing nothing but underwear). Sarah pulls down Mama Morlock's underwear and chews on her rear end. She screams.]

Sarah: Nice mama butt, Morlock!

[George throws the chemically rigged wine at the Morlocks, their mouths get sealed up.]

Stacy: Finish them off, my little mermaid.

[Using his scepter against him and his mother and sidekicks, Sarah and Cody turn Morlock, Mama Morlock, Orcro and Thump into harp seals, then Japanese macaques, then wolves, then white tailed deer, then polar bears, then snowshoe hares, then gentoo penguins, then emperor penguins, then otters and finally, ermines. Tobey captures the ermines in a cage and cuffs them]

Tobey: Time to head off to Antarctica.

[He puts the cage on a boat. The ermines shake the bars. Tobey gives the ermines each a fruit. The ermines get annoyed looks on their faces and eat the fruit. Tobey then pushes the boat and drifts it away south.]

Randal: They're gone.....for a long, long while.

[He then picks up the scepter and hands it to...]

...

[The wives walk to Sarah and Cody]

Frisky: Thank you, Sarah and Cody for saving this wedding.

Bearbette: You two are the best.

[Frisky begins to touch Sarah's stomach but notices that she is wearing her dress. Bearbette touches Cody's stomach.]

Sarah: My belly is covered up, Frisky.

Frisky: Despite that, I am now your cousin-in-law.

[Sarah and Cody kiss]

...

Sam: Okay, everybody. It's time for our couples to cut the cake. All three of these cakes are made by our wonderful baker, Jeanette. [shows the gang] Here we have the Bear cake for the bear couple. The fox cake for the fox and vixen. And a raccoon cake for the raccoons. Now, join me and Lester as we sing the cake cutting song.

[Using their accordion and flute, Sam and Lester play Cut The Cake as the couples go near their respective cakes.]
