Thank you, dear.

Ta-da !
[ pb&j ]
hey, cap'n.

- [ All ] morning, mrs. Crane.
- Well, good morning
to you, pb&j.

What are you doin' ?
Oh, just a little
home improvement.

You know,
a little prevention
goes a long way.

- Prevention ?
- Yes, dear.

It means to keep something
from happening.

Like these new shutters
will help prevent
the wind and snow...

From getting inside
and freezing our tail feathers.

I think the shutters
make your house look nice.

You know, kids,
they don't build houses
like this anymore.

This house is
as solid as a rock.

Nothin' can hurt
this house.

[ All gasp ]

Oops.

[ ernest ]
then it's all settled.

You'll just have to stay
with us until you find
a new home.

We wouldn't dream
of troubling you.

Oh, it's no trouble at all.
That's what friends are for.

Besides,
it'll be fun.

Yeah, like tomorrow, we can
all go on a picnic and--
hold on, jelly.

I already promised
mrs. Crane that tomorrow...

I'd help her look
for a new tree to live in.

And I have deliveries to make
on the other side of the lake.

Don't worry, pb&j.
I'll take you
on a picnic tomorrow.

Great !
All right !
Yea !

[ Chuckles ]
well, now that
that's settled,

It's time for you
to get ready for bed.

Oh, mama.
But the cranes
just got here.

But it's still bedtime.
Last one upstairs
is a squishy melon !

Squishy !
[ All laugh ]

Honk ! Honk !
I'm not a squishy melon.

I think they mean
the children, dear.

Oops. Sorry.
[ Laughs ]

Oh !
[ cap'n ] and remember,
brush your teeth.

it's like my aunt penelope
use to say,

"Be true to your teeth,
and they won't be false
to you."

[ Laughs ]
get it ?

Oh. Well, good night,
everybody.

[ p&j ]
good night.

Man, having the watchbirds
stay here is fun.

Yeah, and I feel so watched
by the watchbirds.

If you wanna take a bath,
dear, why don't you
try the bathtub ?

Bye, opal.
Bye, connie.
See you tonight ?

[ cap'n ]
honk ! Honk !
rise and shine, pb&j.

Breakfast is ready.

Breakfast may be ready,
but I'm sure not.

[ Yawns ]
[ yawns ]

Breakfast from the cap'n ?
I bet it's something
really great.

yippee !
[ giggling ]

whoo-hoo !

Oh, boy, I can't wait.
What is it ?

Is it banana fish
griddle cakes with
warm babbleberry syrup ?

Even better than that.

It's the healthy
stick-to-your-ribs goodness
of a big bowl of 100%...

All-natural worms.

I think I just got
unhungry.

Me too.
Me free.

Now before
we go out to play,

I want you to remember
what I said about safety.

Always look both ways
before crossing the creek...

And carry a handkerchief
in case you get a booger.

[ Whispering ]
I can't believe
he said that.

[ Giggling ]
[ giggling ]

Looks like
a real nice day.

Let's get started.

[ Sneezes ]
[ both ]
huh ?

[ Blows nose ]

Uh-oh. Sounds like
someone is coming down
with a cold.

And it does look
a bit like rain.

On second thought,
I think we'd all better
stay inside today.

Aw !
Aw, man !

[ jelly ]
commander casserole
prepares to test the engines...

on her new supercharged
casserole mobile.

Whee-hee !
[ Laughing ]

[ Gasps ]
watchbird alert !

No skateboarding
in the house, jelly.

That's not safe.
You can get hurt.

Aye, aye, cap'n.

I mean, sorry, cap'n.

peanut "the extreme" otter
here,

Coming to you from inside
the world's biggest volcano.

Whoo ! Huh ?
Hold on there,
peanut.

That's just not safe.
You could get splinters.

More boxes.
Watchbird alert !

No, no, butter.
Mustn't stack boxes.

They could--
I mean you might--

Well,
something could happen.

Can't be too careful.

Having the cap'n around
isn't as much fun
as I thought it would be.

Yeah, he has a rule
for everything.

Look, butter.
Here's one of you
when you were just a baby.

Baby.
Yeah, and look
at this one.

Pb&j, you'll ruin your eyes
reading in the dark.

and look at the dust
down here.

you shouldn't be inhaling
these dust particles.
it's not safe.

Say, why don't you children
play safely in your room
a while ?

I'll be up in a few minutes,
as soon as I do a quick check
of potential fire hazards.

but first, put these on.
after all, you can never
be too safe.

And don't forget
to look both ways
at the top of the stairs.

Well, I suppose
we could look for
potential fire hazards.

We've already done that
about a trillion billion times.

No more !
[ cap'n ] everything
all right in here ?

Yes, sir.
Just fine. Thanks.

Good. Then I'll be
out on deck watching out
for, you know, stuff.

I hate to say it, peanut,
but I think cap'n crane
is making me a little crazy.

[ Gasps ]
[ peanut ]
me too.

i wonder how long
they're gonna stay.

We've gotta figure out
a way to find the cranes
a new house...

So we can start
having fun again.

Hey, maybe we can do
a noodle dance...

To figure out a way
to find the cranes
a new house.

It's worth a try.
Come on !

♪♪ [ dance ]

♪ noodle ♪

♪ noodle
do the noodle dance ♪♪

I got it !

Peanut !
What ?
What happened ?

Check this out.

What if we used a super-duper
copying machine....

that could make
an exact copy
of the cranes' old house ?

[ peanut ] yeah, then
we can make as many tree houses
as they could ever want.

Perfect. Now, where's mama
and daddy's super-duper
copying machine ?

Um, I don't think
they have one, jel.

Then we'll just have
to keep thinkin'.

You know, jel,
I've been thinking.

- And dancing.
- And dancing.

And it seems to me
that we're pretty lucky
to have the cranes here.

What do you mean,
peanut ?

He wouldn't let me
ride my skateboard
in the house.

Right. And he stopped me
from sliding down the bannister.

And he wouldn't let us
go outside 'cause he thought
butter might get a cold.

Exactly. Maybe he wasn't
trying to stop us
from having fun.

Maybe he was trying
to do something else ?

Oh, you mean maybe
the cap'n was trying
to keep us safe ?

Right, jel.
He watches out for us
because he's a watchbird.

And watching is what
a watchbird does best.

I bet everybody on the lake
likes the watchbirds watching.

Yeah. It's too bad
we can't just get everybody
to come over...

And help us stand
their tree house back up.

Jelly, that's it !
You're a genius !

That's exactly
what we can do !
Huh ?

We'll get everybody
on the lake to help us
stand their tree back up.

Hey, that is
a genius idea.

Let's go, jelly.
Come on, butter.

We've got places to go,
things to do,
people to see.

All right !
Whoo-hoo !

- [ Ringing ]
- [ sighs ]

What's the matter, dear ?
You hardly slept a wink.

Connie, I don't think
pb&j like me very much.

- What do you mean, dear ?
- Well, it's a long story.
You see--

[ hammering,
sawing ]
what's that ?

But it can't be.
Oh, my !

[ All ]
thank you
from lake hoohaw.

But how ? Who ?

Mr. And mrs. Crane,
welcome to your new home.

Our home ?
Pb&j wanted it
to be a surprise.

Pb&j ? You mean--

[ opal ]
yes, it was
all their idea.

they spoke to everyone
on the lake and arranged
the whole thing.

Pb&j ?
It was their way
of thanking you...

For watching out
for everyone
on the lake.

Here. You'd better wear these
until everything is finished.

Just to be on the safe side.
You can't be too careful,
you know.

[ All laugh ]
how can we ever
thank you ?

You don't have to.
That's what friends
are for.

But we'll sure miss
not having you
as houseguests.

Thanks, jelly.

We loved staying with you,
but it sure will be good
to be home again.

Wait, cap'n.
We aren't quite
finished yet !

- Oops.
- No problem.

You can stay
with us tonight.
Can't they, mom ?

Of course they can, peanut.
That's what friends are for.

[ ernest ]
okay, everybody.
one more time.

[ peanut ]
all right !
[ butter ] whoo-hoo !

[ jelly ]
we're gonna be safe tonight !

Okay, so here's
what we're gonna do.

This is me,
this is you, jelly...

And here's flick
in the middle.

You zig right,
and I zag left...

And flick
zips up the middle.

Got it ?
Got it.

You kick the ball to me,
I kick it to flick, and flick
kicks it into the goal.

All right ! Goal ! Goal !
Our team wins !
Yea !

It's a perfect play, peanut,
except for one thing.
What's that ?

Flick's not here.
Oh, yeah,
you're right.

Well, we can
try to practice
the play without him.

Here it comes, jelly.

[ flick ]
hey, you guys.

That play would work
a whole lot better
with me in the middle.

So, you guys notice
anything different
about me ?

You got a haircut ?
You got your beak buffed ?

The hat. The hat !

Cheese and quackers, guys.
It's an official
world soccer team hat--

Like they wear
in the pros.

- Oh, yeah, cool !
- Wow ! How did you get it ?

I mailed in
four fishie flakes
box tops for it.

But the coolest part
is that it's signed by
the entire world soccer team.

You're kidding.
See ?
There's their names.

They signed it.
That makes this
the greatest hat ever.

- That is a cool hat,
flick.
- Can I try it on ?

Let me think about it.

Mmm, no.

- How come ?
- 'Cause then I'd have
to take it off.

- Yeah, so ?
- So I decided I'm never
gonna take off this hat.

- How come ?
- To prove that I'm the world
soccer team's number one fan.

Whoo-hoo !

Shouldn't you guys
be practicing ?

Practicing how to lose.

[ Both giggling ]

No. We're practicing
to win.

Seems like such a waste
of your time.

Everyone knows our team's
gonna win the lake hoohaw
soccer tournament.

Because that's what we do.
We always win.

What makes you so sure ?
We have a secret w*apon.

Say hello
to our newest teammate.

[ bootsie ]
it's our new
soccer tronic 3750.

Twice as good
as the 1875.
[ Whirring ]

- [ giggling ]
- that's nothing.

Our team has some
secret weapons of our own.
We do ?

- Sure.
- Like what ?

Uh, well, if we told you,
it wouldn't be
a secret anymore.

They have a point,
bootsie.

That they do, ootsie,
but that's the last point
they'll get.

Hey, y'all ready
for the big game ?
[ Kids ] yes.

Good. Good.
I just want to remind you
of a few rules.

During the game,
you can't touch the ball
with your hands.

And to score a point,
you have to kick the ball
into the other teams' goal.

- [ Kids ] whoo-hoo !
- Oh, yeah,
and each team member...

Has to wear
the same team uniform.

Any questions ?

Great. But most important
of all--

We're out there
to have fun.

And win.
[ Both giggle ]

Flick, I know how proud
you are of that cap,

But maybe you could
take it off to go to bed.

Sorry, ma.
That's a big no-can-do.

You can't ?
Nope. Never.

[ Chuckles ]

- Never ?
- Never.

[ Chuckles ]

I can't wait
for the game today.

Me neither.
Hey, guys.
Today's the big day.

Flick, what happened
to your hat ?
Nothin'.

You haven't taken off
that hat all week,
have you ?

Well, no.
How'd you know that ?

Okay, kids.
Gather 'round so I can
give you your team uniforms.

Here are your team shirts.
You're the yellow noodle birds
this year.

- Cool !
- And here are
your team hats.

Team hats ?
Team hats !

Uh, mayor jeff,
I don't have to wear
the team hat, right ?

Sorry, flick.
The rule says you do.

Players on the same team
must wear the same uniform.

That way, everyone
can tell which players
are on which team.

See ya at the game.

That's not fair.
But all games
have rules, flick.

Oh, yeah ?
Well, here's
one of my rules.

I'm not taking off
my hat.

But then, you can't play.
Well, maybe
I don't wanna play.

Me and my hat
are outta here.

Now what are we gonna do ?
We can't play without flick.

And they won't let flick play
wearing his special hat.

Maybe we can get munchy
to play on our team.

Nah.
He's away on vacation.

What are we gonna do ?
Lose.

Jelly, look !

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking ?

I sure am.
Coloring.

We can color our hats
to look like flick's hat.

If we make our hats
look like flick's, then
that can be our team hat.

[ Both ]
butter, you're a genius !

Just wait till flick
sees our hats.
He's gonna flip.

Are you sure
he's gonna come ?

He'll show.
Flick would never
let us down.

- Never ?
- Well, not today.

Ootsie. Bootsie.

Shouldn't we be warming up
or practicing or something ?

Who needs to practice ?
Our team always wins.

All right, everybody.
Two minutes to game time.

But we're still waiting
for flick.

Sorry, peanut.

The rules say that if all your
team members aren't here at game
time, you'll have to forfeit.

The poodle team
will automatically win.

[ Poodles laughing ]

Well, that was easy.
Yea, us !

Wait !
Here he comes !

Sorry I'm late.

Cheese and quackers, guys.
What did you do
to your hats ?

We colored them
to match yours.

That way we'd all match,
and we'd be a team.

Oh, boy, this is not good.
This is not good.

So why did you
take off your hat ?

It's like this.

when I went home,
i got a look at myself
in the mirror.

i saw myself in my special
world soccer hat,

all dirty and disgusting.

boy, did I look great !
but then I thought
about you guys.

i knew you couldn't play
without me.

and right then I knew
i couldn't let you guys down
'cause we're a team.

All right !
Whoo-hoo !
Way to go, team !

Yeah, but we still
have a problem.

Our hats don't match.
Where's your special hat ?

- I left it at home.
- One minute to game time.

Oh, no !
There's no time
to run to your house,

And our hats
still don't match.

That means we can't play.
[ ootsie ]
bummer.

- Double bummer.
- Triple bummer.

Guess you guys forfeit.
And we win... Again.

We win. We win. We win.
[ Both ]
we won ! We won !

[ Both laughing ]

There must be a way
out of this mess.

Let's do a noodle dance.
That always helps.

♪♪ [ dance ]

♪ noodle
use your noodle ♪

♪ noodle
do the noodle dance ♪♪

I got it !

What ?
What have you got ?

Maybe we can draw lines
on flick's hat.

That's a good idea, peanut,
but we left the crayons home,
and there's no time to get them.

Hold it. I have another idea.
It's the opposite of crayons.

We get a color-sucking machine
that takes all the color
out of everything...

And makes us--
and then we--
and then--

Never mind. My brain
just ran out of gas.

We have less than a minute
till game time, and then
we'll have to forfeit the game.

Aw, cheese and quackers.
This really chaps my beak.

- [ Gasps ] flick, that's it !
- What, we're gonna
chap our beaks ?

No, watch this.

Hey, yeah !
I get it.

It's time.
Are you ready to start ?

Yeah. I mean,
if we can play
with our hats like this.

Sure you can.

The rule book says
your hats have to match.

It doesn't say they have to be
rightside out or inside out.

[ All laughing ]

[ Whistle blows ]

Let the lake hoohaw
soccer tournament begin.

[ jelly ]
and then I zigged right.

[ peanut ]
and I zagged left.

[ flick ]
and I zipped up the middle.
score one for the flickster.

With the help
of you guys, of course.

We're very proud of you
for winning the game, kids.

But most importantly,
we're proud of you
for winning as a team.

Yeah, score a win
for the yellow noodle birds.

Hey, it's
the soccer tronic 3750.
What are you doing here ?

After the game,
the snooties didn't feel
like playing anymore.

And playing
by yourself is no fun.
I need a team.

- Hey, why don't you
play with us ?
- I'd love to.

Oops. Sorry
about the hat.

Don't worry about it.

Now we're all
on the same team.

[ Peanut ]
let's play ball !
