01x23 - The Legend of Gold Gardens/Winter Dance Party

[bunniefuu]

That's me, Fred the housecat.

When my family leaves for the day,

I don't just sit inside watching the world go by.

I become...

Nature Cat, backyard explorer extraordinaire!

♪ Try to balance just like Squeeks ♪

Okay, guys, to stay balanced, you got to be calm.

Breathe in and out. And go!

My turn!

I'm calm, a deep breath and tally-h--

Water?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

(Laughing)

A cat that can't balance?

Oh, now I've seen it all!

Thank you, Nature Cat. Thank you for that tickle.

Nature Cat, you okay? You're usually so good at that!

The, uhh, the water kind of threw me off a little.

You guys, look at that!

Whoa! What's that?

Whoa! It appears to be some sort of map.

(Gasping)

It is a map, to the Gardens of Gold!

We found the map to the Gardens of Gold?

Woo-hoo! Yeah! We did it! Wait.

What are the Gardens of Gold again?

Well, some say it's just a neighbourhood legend.

Other people say it's a garden of gold, I guess.

Sparkly gold as far as eyes can see,

endless riches for you and me!

"Gold"? For me!

Well, we got to go there, you guys!

(Shutter clicking)

We sure do, Squeeks!

This is exactly the moment we've been waiting for.

For today, The Gardens of Gold is an adventure--

Getting there looks physically challenging,

lots of tough obstacles!

That someone else will embark upon.

As for me, I'm actually kind of spent.

So, uhh, see you later. Toodles!

"Physically challenging"?

I'm might need their help to get there.

Hey, guys, I'm up for the adventure!

You are?

Oh, yeah, of course!

Well, if you're in, Ronald, then I'm in!

If you're in, Nature Cat, then I'm in!

Great! Wonderful!

Awesome! Splendiferous!

That's not even a word!

I know! And I'm okay with that!

Daisy, where to? Daisy, where to?

This way.

This way, to the Gardens of Gold!

Onward and yonward!

Oh, yeah! Let's go!

(Chuckling)

Lead the way, Nature Cat.

Soon, all the gold will be mine. And they don't even know it!

Oh, where'd they go? Hey, wait up! Hey!

♪ Gardens of Gold, Gardens of Gold ♪

♪ I want to stroll through the Gardens of Gold ♪

♪

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

Halt!

Phew.

Hey, halt!

What is this thing?

Our first obstacle!

Whoa, a big wall of pricker bushes.

The map calls it "The Wall of Thorns".

Hmm. How do we get past it? We can't go through it.

And going around it would take forever.

Ooh, ooh, we can go through here!

See? The pricker thingies aren't this low to the ground.

So, if we crawl real low, we should be okay.

Hal, you nailed it! You're a genius!

(Groaning)

There's so many thorns, I mean, like, lots of thorns.

In that case, follow the genius!

Wait. Who's the genius again? Are they following me?

I don't know.

Huh, this isn't so bad, you guys.

We've been practicing this for weeks!

Yeah, remember how hard this was

when we first started practicing? We got it now!

Yeah, I know, so fun, right?

(Panting)

How much farther? We got to be there soon.

This is so hard!

Don't get pricked. Don't get pricked. Don't get pricked.

Hey, Nature Cat, bud, we made it.

We did? We did!

A-ha!

I knew the wall of thorns didn't stand a chance against us.

Ronald, come on!

That was impossible.

Oh, really, Ronald?

Not if you're prepared for the physical challenges

along nature's beautiful trails!

Oh, I'm ready!

Well, I'm more ready!

Well, I'm more than ready than you are!

Well, I'm more than more ready than you are more ready!

Uhh, guys, I think you both made your point. Shall we?

Gardens of Gold, here we come!

Onward and yon-- Hey!

(Panting)

♪

Whoa!

Whoa, the Wall of Tall.

You know, this adventure sure has

a lot of wall-themed obstacles.

How do we get through? Is there a secret passage or something?

A-ha!

We don't go through. We go up!

Onward and upward!

(Panting)

Good thing we've been practicing climbing!

Tally-ho!

We did it! Yeah!

(Cheering)

Oh, so much fun!

But-- But wait. Where's Ronald?

I-- I can't do it. I can't.

Sure you can, Ronald.

Just, you know, give it your all!

(Grunting)

Don't you see my all isn't good enough?

I'll never make it to Gold Gardens.

It's okay. Just go on without me.

I'll just miss this one.

Don't worry about little, old Ronald!

(Chuckling)

I feel so, so, so, so bad for Ronald!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but me too!

Oh, man, should we really leave Ronald behind?

No, it's just not what we do.

We've all needed help at some point.

Daisy, what did we when you couldn't do a cartwheel?

We practiced and practiced.

And you all helped me learn how to do it.

Exactly.

And Squeeks, what about when you couldn't dance the robot?

(ROBOTIC): You taught me k*ller moves.

(NORMAL VOICE): Check these bad boys out!

And Hal, what about when you couldn't pay attention

to my dramatic speeches? Huh?

(Humming)

Oh, hi!

We still need to work on that.

Either way, we don't leave anyone behind,

even if it is Ronald.

Yeah! So, how are we going to get him up the wall?

We'll help you, Ronald! Get ready to train!

"Train"? You mean like exercise?

We train!

No, no.

(Panting)

♪

Get-- Get up there!

♪

Ooh.

Ronald, you practiced well.

You're ready to conquer the Wall of Tall.

Let's do it.

(Cheering)

You got it, come on!

I did it!

I'm the greatest!

Yes! Practice always helps!

Ronald, Ronald, Ronald! Ronald, Ronald, Ronald!

Uhh, hey, guys, speaking of Ronald, where is he?

(Ronald laughing)

Over here!

Sorry, guys.

But the Gardens of Gold treasure is all mine!

Thanks for the climbing lessons.

(Laughing)

No! No!

Duped again!

Oh, now we'll never get to the Gardens of Gold,

all because of Ronald!

Not on my watch! Follow me!

Tally-ho!

Come on, what are we waiting for?

(Groaning)

Huh?

Umm, why don't you guys go on ahead?

Oh, no. Remember? We don't leave anyone behind.

You can do this, Nature Cat!

You've practiced balancing, like, a bazillion times!

Stay calm. Take a deep breath. Then go.

(Whimpering)

Stay calm. Take a deep breath. And--

You got it!

Hooray! Hooray!

I knew you could do it.

Thanks, Squeeks.

Now come on, let's go to The Gardens of Gold.

It's just over that hill. Treasure, here we come!

What? What is this place?

Oh, man, it's not even real gold!

Man, oh, man, look at all those golden flowers!

It's, it's, it's-- Whoa, amazing!

What-- what she said!

Mine eyes have never seen a gold quite so beautiful!

Mine have: real gold! What a waste!

Now I got to walk all the way back.

It was so hard to get here!

Where's my driver? My feetsies hurt!

Ah, the outdoors,

the greatest treasure of all.

(Sighing)

Blue-, green-,

set, hut-hut, hike!

Go long, Squeeks!

Woo-hoo!

(Laughing)

Touchdown!

Woo-hoo, yeah, woo!

What a catch, Squeeks!

Yup, that's how I roll!

(Beeping)

Time out! It's Granny Bunny.

Hi, Granny.

Hi, sweetie.

I just can't wait to celebrate the Winter Solstice

with you later today! See you soon!

Bye, Granny, love you.

Man, oh, man, I totally forgot!

Today's the Winter Solstice!

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!

No way, the Winter Solstice is today? The Winter Solstice?

Yay! Woo-hoo!

Wait. Just one, little question: What's the Winter Solstice?

No idea.

"Winter Solstice"?

Is that a 's hip hop group? De La Solstice?

Winter Solstice is so sweet, you guys! Check it out.

MAN ON PHONE: You say today is the Winter Solstice?

Hooray! It's the shortest day of the year! Do you know why?

Well, Earth orbits, or circles, around the Sun.

It takes a full year-- That's days--

to make one complete orbit. Amazing!

Here is where we are now in Earth's orbit

at Winter Solstice! Whoa!

See how Earth is tilted on an axis at it orbits?

And see how, this time of year, this northern part of Earth

is tilted away from the Sun?

When this part of the Earth is tilted away from the Sun,

the Sun takes less time to go across the sky.

And today, at the Winter Solstice,

the Sun gets across the sky in the shortest amount of time.

That's what makes it the shortest day of the year.

How about that?

Yeah, how about that, right?

Guys, remember how high the Sun was

above the Mighty Mountains last summer?

Well, look at it now!

How bizarre: It's barely visible atop the highest peak!

And check out our shadows!

Oh, hey, look! They're so long now!

Hi, Hal's long shadow.

It's me, Hal!

Extra long for you!

Yeah, my shadow was so short in the summer.

Now I look like a giraffe! Ooh!

Oh, yeah, Winter Solstice, Winter Solstice! Oh, yeah!

I want to share in your excitement, Daisy. I really do.

But I'm just wondering why is this so exciting?

Because, in addition to all this,

the days start to get longer tomorrow!

My family always celebrates the Winter Solstice

with the Winter Solstice Dance Party!

I'm sorry. Did you say "Dance party"?

I love dance parties!

Ooh, me too!

Me too-too also!

It's how we celebrate the return of longer days,

a night of fun and dancing and lights!

Man, oh, man, it is so sweet! Uh-oh!

Dais, babe, what's up?

Since I forgot about today,

I didn't get ready for the dance party.

And there's so much to do!

Not to worry, Daisy:

We will do whatever it takes to make sure

that the Winter Solstice Dance Party goes on!

We sure will!

The Bunny family will celebrate the Winter Solstice!

And Granny's going to get her winter on! Oh, yeah!

So, what do we have to do?

A lot:

get the dance music, decorate the yard,

display the lights and hang the Winter Solstice

sundown disco ball all before sundown!

No worries on the dance music:

I, Nature Cat, have got it covered!

Tally-ho!

(Soft music playing)

Uhh, thanks, Nature Cat.

But we need some music that's, you know, dance-y,

like, a little more lively.

Oh, okay. Like what?

(Techno music playing)

Like that!

Ooh, ooh!

Ronald, Ronald, hi! We need you!

Of course you do. Who doesn't?

We need you to play the music

for the Winter Solstice Dance Party.

Do you mean something like this?

♪

Yes, yes, exactly like that!

Party's later today, Ronald. You in?

Well, you know, I'd love to help you-- not really.

But I can't.

Oh, please, please, Ronald, please.

This is so very important to me.

What's important to me is the groomers,

which is where I'm off to!

I won't be back until after sundown.

It's handsome time for The Ronald!

Oh, no, what are we going to do now, you guys?

Too bad we just can't groom Ronald right here and now

and then he can DJ later.

Hal, you're a genius!

"Genius"?

"Genius, a person showing exceptional intelligence

or creativity."

Hmm, "Exceptional", I guess I am a genius.

Wink-wink.

Oh, yeah!

Whoa!

Huh?

Dance music?

Check! Check one-two! Check one-two!

Say "Ho"! Yay, yo!

And snacks: check!

Whoa-ho-ho!

This place is looking like it's ready for a dance par-tay!

Dance par-tay! Whoop, whoop!

Dance par-tay!

Dance par-tay! Dance par-tay!

Ha, not just yet you guys:

We need one more thing!

Whoa! The Winter Solstice sundown disco ball! Groovy!

It's a family heirloom

and the most important part of the party!

We have to hang it on a tree

so the setting Sun hits it just right!

No problem at all!

Tally-ho!

Hurry up! You are ruining my hair!

I'm ready. Pass up the disco ball!

Sundown disco ball coming up.

Got it!

And now to hang it!

Tally-h-- Whoa!

Oh, no!

Look out below! What ho?

My toe! Ah!

Whoa! Whoa!

The disco ball!

Quick, get that ball!

Come on!

Stop, ball! It's me, Hal! Listen! Stop!

Oh, no, Granny Bunny will be here any minute!

(Beeping)

Hi, sweetie. We'll be there any minute. Love you.

Bye, Granny. Love you too.

Hurry! It's almost sundown!

Reverse course!

(Screaming)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

(Laughing)

Whoa!

Meet me back at the yard!

Tally-ho!

Whoa ! I can't stop!

Whoa! Whoa!

It's the Bunny family! Hi, Bunny family! It's me, Hal!

Where?

Nature Cat, you okay?

But of course!

Yoo-hoo! Daisy, sweetie, we're here.

Oh, quick, we've got to hang the disco ball before the Sun sets!

Squeeks, go long!

Woo! Woo-hoo, yeah!

Yes!

That's how you do it! Way to go, Squeeks!

Oh, yeah!

Oh, thank you so much, you guys! We made it just in time.

Let the Winter Solstice Dance Party begin!

♪

What do you think, Granny?

Oh, everything is just beautiful, dear:

the music, lights, disco ball!

It must have taken you forever to set it up.

Well, actually, it, uhh, was no trouble at all!

Hit it, Ronald!

♪

You know, the Winter Solstice is amazing, Daisy!

Aww, thanks, Nature Cat!

So much light, Daisy honey.

I just love getting my winter on!

Me too, Granny Bunny, me too!
