Okay. There's this really bad
dude named Hacker.

The Hacker to you!

Whatever.

He wants to take over
the cyberworld from Motherboard.

The three kids
are sucked into Cyberspace,

and they use brain power to help
save everybody.

Okay, here's the plan.

So they travel all over
and run into all these weird

creatures and have all
these awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them to save
Cyberspace.

Can three cool kids
and a wacky bird

outsmart the Hacker?

Never!

There's only one way
to find out!

Tune in to "Cyberchase."

Wicked! Where are you?

Ha ha ha!

Too hard to keep up with
the powerful Wreaker?

Wreaker, shmeaker!

Take this!

[ Laughing ]
Tell me you're not impressed.

Jellybeans? Ha ha ha!

You call that wicked?

[ Laughing ]
You have something better?

Ha!

As a matter of fact, I do.

Hang on to your pointy hat.

I bring you
color-changing laser beams!

Ooh!

Do purple, boss!

I love purple!

Ha!

A lame-o light show?

Check this out!

Slimy snowballs?

[ Laughing ]
[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Laughs ]
Jackie, hi!

Your party planner has
arrived!

Come in! Come in!

Wow, I like your new digs,
guys.

We've always wanted to build
a house with a prime view

of Mount Evermore.

Great view.

It's our dream home.

That's why we're having a
housewarming party.

And that's why I'm here!

This is my first party-planning
gig, but I came prepared.

Now, the balloons can go here,
the streamers there.

Oh, and I'll need a spot
for Chef Foody.

Chef Foody?

[ Doorbell rings ]
Bonjour, my little piglets!

It wouldn't be a party
without a caterer.

Oh, not just a caterer,
the best caterer

in all of Cyberspace!

Hey, what's this?

Oh, no touching!

It is my masterpiece.

Voilà!

[ Gasping ]
It's us, well, two of us.

Uh, Chef Foody,
there are only two pigs here,

but there are three pigs.

Gah! Gah!

It's me! I'm the missing one!

No problem.

Chef Foody will fix!

I will make the third pig
toute de suite!

[ Sighs ]
Okay, that's solved.

Next, decorations, check.

Balloons, check.

Room temperature,
a comfortable cyberdegrees.

Awesome!

♪♪
Check this out, Hackie Poo!

Aah!

You can do better than that,
Boss!

Not only can I do better,
I will do better

with my boomerang laser!

♪♪
Ha ha!

Ha ha to you, Hacker!

Uh-oh.

[ Rumbling ]
What was that noise?

I'm sure it was nothing.

Well, I'm not.

We better go see.

♪♪
[ Panting ]

[ All gasp ]
Mount Evermore is no more.

Almost no more.

The royal heads are gone.

How could this happen?

How terrible!

I'll alert the king.

He'll fix it!

I hope.

Look what you've done!

How could you?

It's not all gone.

Right, Buzzy?

Well, it's not good.

I didn't mean to do it.

I was just displaying
my brilliance.

Just wait until the king
hears about this!

[ Fanfare plays ]
Ha, what do you know?

It's the king!

You know, Wicked
was just talking about you.

What in Ever Afterville
is the meaning of this?

So, funny story...

I don't want a story!

I just want to know
who destroyed

my beloved mountain
because whoever did it

is going straight
to the dungeon!

Well, actually,
well, they did it!

Us?

Just ring if you need
anything.

We're not far away.

Oh, I'll be back
with the lunch menu.

[ Door slams ]
You know, Buzzy,

this isn't going to be so bad.

Ah, I'm hungry.

I hope they have donuts
on the menu.

Okay, tell king
about Mount Evermore, check.

Cups, check. Streamers, check.

Ice sculpture...

Mm, not done yet?

Oh, Jackie,
you do not rush an artiste!

I thought he was a chef.

[ Doorbell rings ]
Hey, guys!

Ah, the rest of the
CyberSquad is here!

Hey, Jax.

Looks like
some party you planned.

Anything we can do to...

Help? Glad you asked.

Inez, you can tie these up
around the room.

Matt, you can set out the punch.

Got it!

Uh, what about the Didge?

Music, I need music!

Now you're talking!

Didge the DJ
will get this party started.

♪♪
[ Cork pops, people scream ]

[ Screaming stops ]
Okay, Hackie Poo,

let's get started.

Started? With what?

A plan to take over
Happily Ever Afterville

and become the new queen
and king.

We already tried that.

It failed.

Then we'll try again!

Never say never, I always say.

Me and you, Hackie Poo,
together forever.

No, thanks.

[ Groans ]
Let me put this another way.

You will help me
with this plan.

Ha! Is that so?

Yes, that is so.

And you know why?

Because I know who really made
a mess of Mount Evermore,

and it wasn't Buzz and Delete!

Maybe I should fly over
to the castle

and tell the king, hmm?

Uh, uh, uh...

where do we start, my queen?

Let's see.

Do we have enough balloons?

Is the punch too purple?

Do we have enough cups?

, , ...

[ Gasps ]
We need more cups!

More cups!

[ Sighs ]
Thanks, guys. Extra cups, check.

And a twirl, and a five,
six, seven, eight.

What are you guys doing?

Practicing our dance.

Okay, but just watch the...

cups.

[ Chuckles ]
Sorry. Clean-up in aisle four.

♪♪
Fini!

This is awesome, Chef Foody!

Thanks.

Jax, you look a little
flushed.

I'm a little warm.

Party planning
is harder than I thought.

Actually, it is warm in here.

Yeah. I've heard
of a housewarming party,

but this is ridiculous.

I don't understand.

It was a perfect cyberdegrees
when I got here.

[ Gasps ]
Now it's cyberdegrees!

One, two,
three, four, five, fix, seven!

That's degrees higher.

Oh, no!

Why is it getting warmer?

Nobody panic.

A little heat isn't going
to do anything.

Not a problem.

Not a problem?

The ice sculpture,
she will melt!

[ Gasps ]
Okay, that is a problem.

I need to pace.

Pacing going on.

Thinking, thinking.

What's making it hotter?

Well, it's more crowded in
here than usual.

Well, that could make it
hotter.

But not this hot!

But nothing else is different
inside the house.

[ Gasps ]
But there is something different

outside!

What happened
to the royal heads?

We have no idea.

They were here. Now they're not.

I've alerted the king.

He's investigating.

There's your problem!

It's hot in the house
because

the sun is shining on it.

But if the sun is shining
on the outside of the house,

why is it making the inside
so hot?

Because heat can travel
through solid objects

like a roof and windows.

And without the royal heads
blocking the sun,

there's less shade to help
keep the house cool.

[ All sigh ]
Oh...

How long have we been here?

It feels like forever.

Is that a long time?

I think so.

I miss my bunnies!

And I'm hungry.

Food!

Ooh!

[ Giggling ]
Yum!

Eggs and pancakes.

[ Sniffing ]
Best dungeon food ever!

Excuse me, may I get some OJ,
fresh-squeezed, no pulp, please?

Yikes!

Now it's cyberdegrees.

One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight!

That's degrees hotter
than before! The party

is going to be a disaster.

There must be
something we can do.

We need to think.

That's what.

Hmm, think, Didge, think.

Whoa!

Didge!

The cups!

Oh, my masterpiece,
she is melting!

It's so hot in the house.

I feel bad for the pigs.

I feel bad for everyone
who lives in Happily

Ever Afterville.

Mount Evermore
meant a lot to them,

and now it's gone.

Half gone.

♪♪
Found the mop.

Wow!

It's a lot cooler in here.

Cooler than
inside the pigs' house,

that's for sure.

It's only cyberdegrees
in here.

It's in the house.

Weird.

The sun is shining on the house
and the shed,

so why is the shed cooler?

Hmm, what's different
about the shed and the house,

and what's the same?

Well, the house is orange
and the shed is yellow,

so that's different.

The house has a flat roof,
and so does the shed,

so that's the same.

What's that stuff
on the roof?

Just ivy, some flowers
and moss.

But there's no ivy,
flowers or moss on the house.

Hmm, you think
that means something?

Oof!

[ Gasps ] You okay?

Yeah.

I just realized something.

That you should be more
careful?

That too, but the grass is
wet, and it's cool.

That figures.

Something wet is usually cool.

But this path is hot!

Hmm, grass, cool.

No grass, hot.

Plants on roof, cool.

No plants on roof, hot!

I think we're onto something,
Nezzie.

I think so too,
and don't call me Nezzie.

♪♪
[ Marker squeaking ]

You miss Buzz and Delete,
don't you?

Huh?

Miss who?

Those dunce buckets!

What? Never!

Then why are you drawing
a picture of them?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

What's that?

Once we overthrow the king,
we'll need a new castle for us,

just me and you, Hackie Poo.

Now, get me some more markers.

Buzz, Delete!

We need markers.

Oh, right. They're not here.

[ Sad music playing ]
Let me get this straight.

You're saying the shed
is cooler than the house because

there are plants are the roof?

We think so.

The plants create shade.

They also release the water
they drink, which evaporates

and cools the air.

Kind of like when we sweat.

And when we sweat,
it makes our bodies cooler.

We didn't have this problem
when the whole mountain

was there to give us shade.

I miss the mountain.

Aw, don't worry.

I'm sure the king is going
to find a way to fix it.

So if the plants on the roof
of the shed

make the inside cooler,
what if we put plants

on the roof of the house?

Now, your throne can go here,
and, of course,

mine will go here.

[ Clears throat ]
Why do I get such a small

throne?

I am going to be king!

Yes and no.

What?

Well, of course you'll be
king in name,

but I, the queen,
will be the actual ruler of

Happily Ever Afterville.

Now, just wait one minute.

If there's only one new ruler,
it's going to be me.

Oh, really?

Might I remind you
that I can tell the king

what you did?

Let me remind you
that you were right there

with me when it happened.

[ Both growling ]

Okay, this is going to work,
right?

This is definitely
going to work.

I know this is going to work.

What if it doesn't work?

It will work, Jax.

Once we make our green roof,
the house should cool down.

I hope so, or the guests
will melt along

with the ice sculpture.

Tiff, Riff,
let's get these plants

onto the roof.

How many trays do we put
up there?

Huh, good question.

We can make an estimate,
you know, a thinking guess.

Can't... Mm-hmm... I think...

It's a big space up there!

You think four trays
will cover it?

Nope. I'd say the roof
is two times the size

of those four trays.

So if the roof is approximately
twice the size of these

four trays,
we need four more trays,

and four plus four is eight!

We need eight trays of plants,
please.

♪♪
♪♪

♪♪
Hmm, not enough!

I guess our estimate was low.

That's okay. An estimate
doesn't have to be exact.

That's why it's an estimate.

Now that we're close, we can
adjust our numbers a little.

Four more trays should do it!

Four more trays!

Let's get them up there!

Roof covered!

The estimate worked!

Good job, guys!

It's beautiful.

Another benefit
of our green roof.

Turn on the hose!

Water coming!

coming for us.

either,

but that's okay.

The food is good.

♪♪
Yeah.

You're right.

♪♪
Yes!

Before, it was cyberdegrees.

Now it's !

That's degrees lower!

It worked!

The green roof is helping cool
down the house.

Okay. We still have lots
to do

before the guests get here.

Oui! My cucumber sandwiches
still need the cu,

oh, and the cumber!

[ Splash! ]
Huh? Huh? No!

The roof is leaking?

♪♪
Found the leak!

When we watered the plants,
some of the water

went right through the roof.

I don't understand.

We waterproofed the roof
when we built the house.

Yeah, but we didn't plan
for plants on the roof.

Or probably
all that extra water.

No problem! We can put down
thicker waterproofing

so the roof won't leak.

It's not on my list,
but begin Operation Waterproof

the Roof!

There was the time we entered
the three-legged cyborg race,

and Delete tripped,
and we all tumbled

to the ground.

[ Chuckles ]
And another time...

Oh, stop it with Memory Lane,
will you?

It's hard to make a genius plan
when all you hear is

Buzz this and Delete that.

I am sick of it!

I was sick once.

Buzz and Delete made me
chicken soup

with extra noodles.

That's it!

I'm at the end of my broomstick!

It's either me,
who knows what you did

and will turn you in to the king
if you don't do as I say,

or Buzz and Delete.

You decide.

Well?

I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

A little further.

There!

Perfecto!

This ought to stop the leaks.

Let's put the plants back.

Oh, I do hope this works.

[ Faucet squeaks ]
Water coming!

Patooey!

Am I ever going to learn?

No drips here.

None here either.

The waterproofing worked.

And, guys, more good news!

It's cyberdegrees.

One, two, three, four,
five, six degrees

lower than before!

My ice sculpture is so happy!

Thanks, guys. I don't know
what I would've done

without you.

Look, a cricket!

Oh, look,

So cool.

The breeze is so nice up here.

I can't believe that plants help
keep the building cool.

Yes, and that means the
building uses less electricity

for air conditioning on days
like today than it used to.

What does this mean?

This is the measurement
of energy used per square foot.

And since is less than
, that means the school used

less energy last year
than it did years ago,

before we added the green roof.

And the school stays cool
even in hot weather.

Amazing.

Since it's been so hot
this spring, I thought I could

help keep the birds cool too.

I want to make bird houses with
green roofs for the green roof.

That is such a good idea.

I know, right?

So I was thinking little green
roofs

can help keep eggs and baby
birds cool when they hatch.

How will you make them?

with some juice cartons.
