[humming]

[Julia's mom]
Julia, hurry up and put your bike away.

[Julia chuckles]

Julia, come on, honey.

-You'll be late for school.
-[Julia] Okay, Mom.

And one final adjustment...

You've said that
seven times already, Crick.

-Come on, let's swing!
-[Walter] Wait for me!

[all yell]

-[rumbling nearby]
-[all gasp]

What's that scary sound?

[tricycle bell rings]

Incoming! Run for cover!

[Walter yells]

[crashing]

Whoa, what was that?

[ants shouting]

[ants in unison]
Must protect nest. Must protect...

What is that?

It's a disaster. A catastrophe.

It's... It's a disast-rophe.

Stay back, it's too dangerous!

Uh, but our nest is right there.

What if it falls?

[ants gasp]

[ants in unison] What if it falls?
What if it falls? What if it falls?

Uh, if you would allow me to...
Uh, to assist?

Uh, the, uh, nest seems undamaged.

Possibly, we can, uh, save it.

Let's see.
Angle of maniacal machine, 45 degrees...

It's moving! Get down!

And if I calculate the trajectory of the--

Crick, it's gonna...

[yelling]

...fall.

Whoa, you just made things way worse.

[in unison]
Our home. Our home. Our beautiful home.

Where will we live now?

Um, I feel, uh... somewhat responsible.

Perhaps you could, uh... move in with us.

[ants]
Let's move in!

Move in. Move in. Move in.

Awesome! New friends to play with.

Um, did you just invite an entire
ant colony to sleep over?

[gulps, chuckles nervously]

[ants clamoring]

[whistle blows]

Welcome, everyone.

Um, there's five houses
for you to stay in.

-The first is Walter's house. The second--
-[ant] Walter's house!

[ants cheering]
Yeah, Walter's house!

Walter's house.

[whistle blows]

Uh, well, you can't, uh...

You can't all fit in one house.

Um, divide into five groups, please.

We are divided into five groups.

Okay...

Uh, group one, step forward.

We are group one.

But you can't all be group one.

We are not all group one.

This may, uh, take a while.

You put the straw
in your mouths, like this...

Now slurp, like this...

[slurping]

That's it. You got it.

You've got it, antsies.

[Walter] Welcome to my humble,
yet stylish abode.

Please enjoy a succulent selection
of culinary sensations.

[all grunting and chomping]

Oh, my.

[ants cheering]

Wait, I didn't teach you how to stop!

[crashing]

Please, don't touch that. Oh, or that.

I have to-- No, no, no.
No, definitely not that.

[ant yells]

[Kumi]
And, uh, there's lots of extra pillows,

so, please, make yourself at home.

[ants snoring]

My bed?

Very at home.

At least my ants slept well.

And... I slept in the tub.

My ants loved my cooking.

And my plates, and my wallpaper...

They, uh, totally re-organized
my workshop,

but not in a good way.

Oh, yeah? Check this out.

Come and see. Come and see.
It's awesome!

[ants in unison]
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho...

Uh, what are you doing?

[ants] We're digging our new home.

You're digging it here?

Yeah, we're digging here.

Uh, we want to be close to you,
our new friends.

Yeah, new friends.

New friends. New friends.

[laughs] Yippee, together forever!

Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho...

I'm sorry,

my pillow is where I draw the line.

[sighs]

♪ I never gave you my pillow ♪

♪ I only sent you my invitation ♪

♪ And in the middle of the celebration ♪

♪ I break down ♪

[sighs] We have to do something.

The ants are driving us crazy.

But we can't kick them out.

They like us too much.

And they have to live somewhere.

This is my new friend.

He's homesick.

Aw. Come here.

I hope... I hope my home
never gets sick.

Hmm. [gasps]

How would you like to go back to your...?
Your old home?

Yes, please.

[sighs]

But we can't.

Can we?

May I present the new improved
crickta-crank.

As you see, it is attached
to the, uh, maniacal machine,

so, we can lift it off the ants' nest.

Oh, lift it. Yeah.

Lift, lift, lift...

So, uh, if we could start
pulling the rope.

[all grunting]

Now, get underneath, ants. Carry it away.

[ant] Come on, pull...

-It's way too heavy, Crick.
-Now what do we do?

Hmm.

[ringing]

Ah!

Yes, of course.

Yeah, that's the way.

Take it all to pieces.

[grunting]

[crashing]

[all coughing]

[grunting]

According to my crickto-calculations,
you can, um... Um, do it.

[ants in unison]
We can do it. We can do it. We can do it.

-We can do it. We can do it. We can do it.
-That's it. Carry it, ants. Carry it.

Wow, your nest looks awesome.

Better than ever.

Your home isn't sick anymore.

But I's gonna miss you.

Uh, but we're not finished yet.

Ex-squish me? Not finished how?

Well, we, uh, have to put it
all back together, of course.

Thank goodness,
this whole, uh... disast-rophe is over.

[Julia] Huh? My... My bike?
How did it get here?

The handlebars?

They're... They're on backward.

-[bell rings]
-[Julia laughs]

Wow, this is so cool.

[bug 1] I can't wait...

[bugs chattering]

[bug 2] Did you see that?

[chattering continues]

Whoa! Aah!

[all laugh]

Whoa, whoa!

Huh? [chuckles]

[clears throat]

This is a story, a true story...

About the truest kind of friend.

It starts in the middle of the night.

It was the middle of the night,

and a flock of birds
were following the sun...

[Sun] Hmm? Mm-mm.

[Walter] Uh, wait, sorry. If it was night,
then they were following Mr. Moon.

[Kumi] But Blackbird was daydreaming.

The sort of daydreaming
you do in the dark.

So, perhaps it was, uh... night-dreaming.

Good evening, birds.

What a marvelous night for flying.

Oh, hello. Little bird?

You are headed right at me.

Hey, bird, I'm right here, and...

I can't move quickly.

It takes me an entire night to-- Look out!

Aah! Oh, no. Unh!

Ouchie.

[whimpering]

[Blackbird] Oh, no.

[thud nearby]

[snoring]

[Blackbird humming nearby]

Huh?! What was that?

[Blackbird singing nearby]

You heard it, too?

[singing continues]

What's happening? I heard a crash.

[device beeping]

Eleven... Eleven on the crickter-scale.

[panting]

Oh, my. I was asleep,
and then I heard a bang,

and then I was like,
"What is happening?"

And then there was
another bang, and then...

[singing continues]

And then that.

Oh, this is too much.

Wait. Shh.

[singing and whimpering nearby]

[bugs] Who was it? Who was it?

-[bug] Tell us, who was it?
-Yeah, tell us who.

Ha, ha. Wait, wait.
We're trying to tell the story.

Yeah. So, then... Uh, then... Uh...

What happened then, Kumi?

[Kumi] Then we followed the sound.

[singing and whimpering continues]

[whimpering and groaning]

You're in trouble now, bird.

You look bad.

What you gonna do
with a broken wing, huh?

[all gasp]

[Buzz] What is it?

I think it's a blackbird.

A blackbird?

Aw. Look at those sunken eyes.

But why is she so sad?

Because she should be up there.

You said it, little bugs.

I gotta get back up in the sky
before my flock leaves me behind.

[grunting and panting]

[laughs]

[cheering]

[yells then grunts]

[all] Ouchie!

We have to help her.

Oh! Are you okay?

No. I'm never gonna fly
with this broken wing.

And it's all my fault.

How is it your fault?

I was daydreaming, like always.

Wasn't watching where I was going.

But how does you daydream at night?

Only the best daydreamers
can daydream at night.

You must be the best daydreamer ever.

Uh, Blackbird, I think I know
how to get you flying again.

Flying? With my broken wing?

Yes. Uh, with the help
of a special crick-vention.

What kind of crick-vention?

Uh, I don't know yet exactly.

[all groan]

But I'm sure I can think of something.

[all blowing]

[groans]

[thud]

[Crick sighs]

No, that's not it.

How about... balloons?

[laughing]

Huh?

[yells]

I know. Let's try... a parachute.

[Blackbird grunts]

[all groan]

Hold on. This time I've definitely got it.

By my crickto-calculations,

you just have to pull on that and--

[Blackbird screaming]

[laughs]

Awesome.

Hey, I... I'm flying. [laughs]

I'm flying.

[can sputtering]

Not flying no more.

[Blackbird yells then grunts]

Sorry, Blackbird.
Inventing is like a daydream,

and I guess I'm not as good
a daydreamer as you are.

Don't say that. Anyone can daydream.

You just have to, uh...

fly after and find your imagination.

Come on, try it with me now.

What's the clouds made of?

They're made from daydreams.

Wait, I think I have another idea.

[buzzing and crackling]

This, uh... This is it.

It's awesome.

So awesome.

I love it, Crick.

Now all you have to do is fly.

Yeah, if that's how it ends,
I want my money back.

Hey, little bugs.

[all cheering]

Hey, welcome back.

And if you want to buy a nest cheap,
talk to me.

You're back! You're back!
You're back! You're... Whoa!

It's so good to see you.

But why aren't you with your flock?

It's hard to fly with just one good wing,

and even harder to find true friends,
like you bugs.

So, are we your flock now?

You are.

One day soon,
I'll have to follow the sun.

But right now...

You can daydream with us.

Heh. I can daydream with you.
