[♪♪]

I love getting new shoes,
don'’t you, Max?

Shoes are okay.

But getting a balloon
is even better.

There.

Now you can'’t get away.

Hey.

Come back.

[TWINKLING]

Look. Someone'’s calling us
to Dragon Land.

BOTH:
I wish I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart.

[♪♪]

Max. Emmy.

Mm![MAX AND EMMY GIGGLE]

You got my dragon call.Yeah.

And I got
a balloon too.

Only it fell up
to the ceiling.

Why'’d you call us,
Ord?

Because
of that.

[♪♪]

What a beautiful
merry-go-round.

It'’s not just
a merry-go-round.

It'’s a magical merry-go-round.[GASPS]

Yeah, and it comes
to Dragon Land

only one day a year,

and this is
the day it'’s here,

and it'’s the most
fun thing to do

in the whole
wide world.

Let'’s go
for a ride.

We can'’t.Why not?

Because we need
your help, first.

You can talk?

[♪♪]

And walk?

My youngest pony, Whinni,
has wandered off.

And the merry-go-round is only
going to be here for today,

and if we don'’t
find her soon

we won'’t get
to ride at all

and we'’ll miss
all the fun,

and the poor little pony
will be lost in the dark.

[SIGHS]
Will you help us find her?

Sure. We'’ll start
looking for Whinni right now.

QUETZAL:
Un momento, niños.

Hola,Quetzal.

Are you going
to help us look

for the little
merry-go-round pony?

Sí.But we'’ll have
a better chance to find her

if we each pick a buddy
and look in different places.

I'’ll go
with Whinni'’s mother.

I wanna go
with Ord.

And I'’ll look
with Cassie.

Who will I
be with?

Hello.
Anybody home?

Hey, Zaky.
I can be with you.

I'’ve brought
some rope for you

so you can lead the pony
back here if you find her.

Just make a loop
on one end, like this,

then knot it,
like this...

[♪♪]

Here'’s a loop.

You tie the knot, Max.Okay.

There.

Hey.
Why'’d you untie it?

I didn'’t, Max.
It untied by itself.

Problema?

It'’s not fair.

Everyone else
can tie knots but me.

It takes practice
to tie knots, Max.

I want to learn.

Can you teach me,
Quetzal?

Hm.

Maybe I can show you a trick

that will help you remember
the first step in tying a knot.

It'’s called
"over and under."

Hold the rope
like this, Max.

Then say this special poem
and do just as I do.

Over and under
It'’s easy to do

Reach through the hole
And pull it through.

You really think
I can do it, Quetzal?

It'’ll take a while, Max,

but if you keep practicing,
I know you can.

Whinni'’s mother and I

are going to look
in the Stickleback Mountains.

Good luck, niños.

Bye, Quetzal.Adiós.Bye.

[♪♪]

Any sign of Whinni,
Max?

Not yet.

[♪♪]

Just a flying turtle,

and a fairy,

and a little horse,

and a tree.

MAX:
There she is.

Hang on.

She'’s over here.

Maybe she'’s
in that bush.

[MAX SCREAMS]Whoa!

It'’s Whinni.

Don'’t be scared,
little pony.

We won'’t hurt you.

[GIGGLES]
That tickles.

Hooray!
Hooray!

We get to ride
the merry-go-round.

We have to tell everybody
we found the pony

so we can all ride.

Right.

But if we leave, the pony
might get lost again.

What should we do?

I know.
You stay here.

I'’ll fly up high
and find the others.

Okay.

Wait.

I'’m afraid
to stay alone.

Okay.
I'’ll stay here

and you fly up
and get the others.

Okay.

Wait.

I can'’t fly.

Good. '’Cause I'’m afraid
to stay alone too.

What can we do so the pony
won'’t get lost again?

What did Quetzal
tell us?

The rope.
Yeah.

We can tie the pony to a tree
and bring everyone back here.

You betcha.

I'’ll make the knot
this time, Max.

No.
I want to try again.

All this tying
makes me hungry.

Over and under
It'’s easy to do

Reach through the...

Uh... uh... what was it?

Oh, like this.
Got it.

Way to go.

We'’ll be right
back, Whinni.

[♪♪]

Emmy.
We found the pony.

Where is she, Max?

We'’ll show you.
Come on.

She'’s right
over here.

I don'’t see
any pony.

She was
right there.

I tied her to the tree
all by myself.

Maybe your knot
came loose again, Max.

It'’s not fair.

I'’ll never be able
to tie a knot.

Never.

Sure you will, Max.

Quetzal said so.

All you have to do
is practice.

I don'’t want
to practice.

I hate knots.

They'’re stupid.

Come on, Max, we have
to find Whinni soon

or we won'’t get to ride
the merry-go round.

But we'’ve been looking
for a long time.

If I have to fly any more,
my wings'’ll fall off.

We don'’t have to fly.

We can follow Whinni'’s
hoofprints.

Definitely.

Now all we need
is a "pony-finding" song.

[♪♪]

ALL:
♪ Zak and Wheezie went to town

♪ Searching for a pony

♪ Stuck a feather
In their hat ♪

♪ And called it macaroni

Mm.

I love macaroni.

[HORSE WHINNIES][BOTH GASP]

[GRUNTING]

What was that?

Sounded like
a little pony.

In big trouble.

EMMY:
Hurry.

Here'’s her rope.

[GASPS]

But where is she?

[HORSE NICKERS]

There.

[NICKERS]

She can'’t
get out.

Don'’t worry, little pony.
Ord will pull you up.

[GRUNTS]

I can'’t do it.

But no one else
is strong enough.

And if we try
to climb down

we'’ll fall and crash
to the bottom

and break all
our bones and...

There must be something
we can use to pull her up.

[♪♪]

I know.
We can use our ropes.

Love it!

We'’ll have to tie them together
so they'’ll be long enough.

I can'’t tie
a knot yet.

You do it,
Emmy.

[♪♪]

That should
do it.

How do we get
the rope around her?

[♪♪]

Down a little, Ord.

That'’s good.

Now step through
the loop, Whinni.

She'’s through.

Okay, Ord,
pull her up.

[GRUNTING]

Oh, don'’t you just love this
kind of excitement, Zaky?

Oh, no.

The knot'’s coming loose.

What should I do?

Don'’t move, Ord.

The rope might slip.

[NEIGHS]

Maybe I can tie
another knot.

[GRUNTS]

[NEIGHS]

[ALL GASP]Do something.

Quick.

[GRUNTS]
I can'’t hold the rope

and tie a knot
at the same time.

It'’s gonna come loose.

Max.
I need your help.

Uh-uh.

I don'’t know how
to tie a knot yet.

It'’s up to you, Max.
I can'’t do it.

But I...You just have to try, Max.

You just have to.

Okay, here I go.

Over and under
It'’s easy to...

Dosomething...

I can'’t remember
what to do.

[NEIGHS]

We'’ll help you say
the poem, Max.

Ready, go.

ALL:
Over and under

It'’s easy to do

Reach through the hole

And pull it through.

Look. I did it.
I made a knot.

Hurry, Ord.
Fly the pony up.

[GRUNTING]

[ALL CHEER]

Got her.

Hooray for Max.

He saved
the pony.

I'’m sure glad I didn'’t
give up, little pony.

[MERRY-GO-ROUND MUSIC PLAYING]

This is fun,
isn'’t it?

[LAUGHS]
Sí.

I haven'’t done this
since I was a niño,myself.

Whoa!

Don'’t you just love
going up and down

and round and round,
Zaky Wacky?

Oh, I think
I'’m gonna barfy-warfy.

Isn'’t that the happiest little
pony you ever saw, Emmy?

Definitely.

Over and under
Make a friend

Over and under
Let'’s go round again

[♪♪]

Quetzal was right.

I can tie a knot.

Hey, Max, have you seen

the plastic pony
I got at the store?

[GASPS]

Looks like
your little pony

is trying to run away too,
Emmy.

Oh, Max.

[♪♪]

Look, Emmy.

I'’m done wrapping my birthday
present for Ord. Neat, huh?

Uh, sure, Max.

[♪♪]

Put your finger
on the ribbon, Max.

I'’ll make a bow
for you.

Thanks.

MAX:
Hey.

My finger'’s stuck.

Come on, Max.

We gotta help Cassie
get ready

for Ord'’s surprise
birthday party.

BOTH:
I wish I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Cassie.

There she is.

Hey, Cassie.

Look what we got for--

It'’s Ord.
Hide your present.

ORD:
Max. Emmy.

Guess what?
Today'’s my birthday.

Look what Mom
and Dad got me.

It draws on anything.
Wanna play with it?

Yeah.No.

I mean, no kidding?

Today'’s your
birthday?

Uh-huh.

It'’s my very favorite
day of the year.

You wanna play?

We can'’t.

We gotta go meet Cassie

and set up the pa--

Picnic.

Uh, Max and I are having
a picnic with Cassie.

So, uh,
happy birthday, Ord.

Bye.

But...

Bye.

Don'’t forget
the secret knock.

[KNOCKING EIGHT TIMES]

Max. Emmy.

Whew.
I'’m so glad it'’s you.

I thought you were Ord.

We'’re not Ord.

Ord'’s in the meadow.

Is he coming this way?

I don'’t think so.

We had to tell him
he couldn'’t play with us.

I hope we didn'’t
make him sad.

Well, I bet he'’s gonna be really
happy when we surprise him.

Come on. You two can help me
blow up the balloons.

[AIR ESCAPING]

Wow. I'’m dizzy.

Don'’t worry,
Max.

I'’ll blow '’em up.

Hey,
what can I do?

You hold them.

But don'’t let go.

[BLOWS RASPBERRY]

[LAUGHS]

[♪♪]

[BOTH YELPING]

[WHISTLES]

Come on, Wheezie.

We promised
we'’d help Cassie.

Oh, I just love
surprise parties.

They'’re so...ORD: Hi.

[BOTH SCREAM]

Ord. Uh...What are you doing here?

[♪♪]

Today'’s my birthday.

What you wearing
the party hats for?

Hats?What hats?

Oh, those hats.

Those aren'’t party hats.

They'’re, uh, um...

Rain hats.

Only it'’s
not raining.

Guess we don'’t
need them, Wheeze.

[♪♪]

Wanna play?

Uh, sorry, Ord, but, er...

We have to practice for our,
uh, music lesson, right, Zak?

Yeah. Right.
Our music lesson.

Ready?
A one and a two...

I can practice with you.

[ALL PLAYING RHYTHMICALLY]

Well, that'’s enough practice
for today, huh, Zaky?

Wow.
My lips are tired.

Uh, better get going.

See you, Ord.Toodles.

It'’s my birthday and no one
wants to play with me.

That was close.

[♪♪]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Ord almost found out
about his party.

And then it would
ruin the surprise.

Did you remember
to bring the snacks?

Of course.

Dragonberry
and pepperoni.

Ord'’s favorite.

ZAK:
Wheezie, no!

Worrywart.

My mom should be done decorating
the birthday cake by now.

I'’ll go check.

[♪♪]

SID:
Hey, guy.

What'’s with the sappy face?

Huh? Who said that?

Don'’t be afraid.
I bark, but I don'’t bite.

[LAUGHS]
Get it?

I got bark.
See, tree bark?

But I don'’t bite?
That'’s one of my favorites.

Hi, Sid."Hi, Sid?"

That'’s all I get?
No laugh?

Not even a giggle?

I don'’t feel like
laughing today.

What'’s the matter,
Ord?

None of my friends
want to play with me,

and it'’s my birthday.

Hmm. They just get up
and "leaf" you.

[LAUGHS]
Get it? Leaf?

[LAUGHTER]

Maybe if I ask them again

they'’ll let me come
to their picnic.

Well, I'’m rooting
for you, kid.

[LAUGHS]
Get it? Root?

Root?
That'’s a tree joke.

You got to admit
that'’s a tickler.

[LAUGHS]

Wait till
the party, Max.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

That wasn'’t
the secret knock.

It'’s Ord.
Hide everything.

[♪♪]

Sid.
Will you hold these for me?

Where are you gonna put that?

Ew.

That feels gross.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Ord.
Uh, what'’s up?

I wasn'’t doing
anything and, uh,

I thought maybe you needed
some help setting up your...

picnic.

We decided not
to have the picnic.

Yeah. Putting together a puzzle
is much more exciting.

I love puzzles.
Can I play?

Well, uh... um...Sure.

You can help me, Ord.

Great.

This is gonna be fun.

Let'’s find
the blue pieces first.

Psst!

Mm.

I smell something
yummy.

There.
All done.

Thanks for helping
with the puzzle, Ord.

Bye.

Wait. I...

Phew.

Oh, I don'’t know what to do

to make my friends
play with me again.

I know.

I'’m gonna talk to Quetzal.

Quetzal?

Buenos días,Ord.

How are you today?

Not so good.

Who'’s that for?

A very good friend of mine.

What'’s the matter?

I'’m sad because today'’s
my birthday

and it'’s a really
special day,

but my friends must not
like me anymore

because they don'’t
wanna play with me,

and Cassie didn'’t invite me
to her picnic,

and then everyone
decided to make a puzzle

instead of a picnic,

and before I could even
push one piece together,

they pushed me
away and... and...

I'’m not having
a happy birthday at all.

Hm.

You did the right thing
coming to see me, Ord.

I did?

Sí.

I know just what to do
to make you feel better.

You do?Uh-huh.

Come with me.

[ALL GIGGLING]

But they don'’t want
to play with me, Quetzal.

I already tried.

Courage, Ord.

Go up there and tell them
what you told me.

Are you sure?

Sí.Okay.

[♪♪]

[KNOCKING]

EMMY:
Who'’s there?

It'’s me, Ord,

and I'’m sad because
today'’s my birthday

but no one wants me around,

and I really want to be friends
and play with you,

so can I come in?

Can I? Please?

MAX:
Not yet.

See?
They don'’t want me.

MAX:
Okay. You can come in now.

Really?

ALL:
Surprise!

[ALL LAUGH AND CHATTER]

ALL:
Happy birthday, Ord!

You like me!
You really like me!

Of course we do, Ord.

You'’re our biggest,
bestest friend of all.

We just didn'’t want you

to find out about
the surprise party.

Boy. I was really
surprised.

Come on, Ord.

Make a wish and blow out
the candles.

Okay.

[BLOWS]

[ALL LAUGH AND CHEER]

[♪♪]

[SLURPING]

This is the best birthday
I'’ve ever had.

EMMY AND MAX:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

Oh, my tummy hurts from
eating all that cake.

Me too. But it sure is
a yummy tummyache.

[GIGGLE]
Yeah.

Where are you going, Max?

To tell Mom I want a surprise
birthday party next year.

But if you know
it'’s a surprise party,

it won'’t be
a surprise.

Then you ask Mom for me.

Mommy.

Emmy has something
to ask you.
