[Panting]

LISA: I'll see you at the

finish line!

To the mailbox, Lisa!

[Both panting]

Whoo-hoo!

It's an upset!

The new champion of the world is

Moppy!

[Imitating fans cheering]

They said Lisa could never be

beat, but they never saw the

Mopster in action!

Good race, Moppy.

Yes!

I'm speedier than a subway,

faster than a fire engine,

quicker than a...

Hmm, quicker than a...

Those sneakers of yours must

have helped.

On your own, you could never

outrun me!

These are great sneaks,

aren't they?

They even look fast!

Red like a rocket!

[Imitating rocket engine]

Moppy's do look a lot better

than mine.

[Buzzer sounding]

My floor!

See you later, Moppy!

You mean "champ," don't you?

[Giggling]

Mom, can I get some new

sneakers, please?

Whatever for?

Yours are still in good shape.

But they don't even compare

to Moppy's.

He's got all this neat stuff on

his sneakers.

Mine are just so boring!

You shouldn't place so much

weight on appearances.

Your sneakers are perfectly

fine.

You mean perfectly plain!

CORDUROY: That button has to

be somewhere.

Where could it be?

What if I don't find it?

My corduroys don't look right

at all!

Lisa won't love me as much if I

don't look my best.

I've got to find my button!

Um...

Hmm.



Ugh!

Not under the sofa!

Ugh!

Button, come out, come out,

wherever you are!

Ah-choo!

There you are!

You're not my button.

You're from Lisa's checker game.

Ugh!

[Gasping]

Why, here's my button!

Here's lots of my buttons!

Ugh!

Argh!

They're all tied down tight!

Whoa!

[Crashing]

MOTHER: Did you hear

something?

LISA: Sounded like something

fell.

[Gasping]

Now, how in the world did

that happen?

Um, maybe it was... the wind!

That's quite some wind.

I'll get dinner started, and

we're doing laundry this

afternoon, hon, so don't forget

to put all the clothes you want

washed in the hamper.

Sure, Mom!

Are you hurt?

Uh-uh.

Hmm, you look different

today, Cordy.

Oh, well, come on!

We've got laundry to do.

Now, Corduroy, you sit right

here and wait for me.

I'm going to help Mom with the

laundry.

Buttons are always falling

off in the wash.

If buttons are always falling

behind in the wash, maybe I'll

find my missing button here!

Hmm, I don't see any buttons.

Maybe there's a button inside

there!

This must be a cave!

I've always wanted to visit a

dark, cool cave!

Maybe I'll meet a bear!

[Bear growling]

[Gasping]

Rowr!

No, that did not look

convincing.

Uh, hello?

[Gasping]

You're a bear!

Uh-huh!

[Gulping]

You're not going to eat me,

are you?

No, of course not.

I thought you might like to sit

and have some tea and muffins

with me.

Oh, it's because I look scary,

isn't it?

Are you?

No!

I'm perfectly nice!

I've been practicing laughing

and smiling, so if anyone came

and visited me in my dark, cool

cave, they wouldn't be afraid!

But hardly anybody ever comes to

visit me.

Rowr!

See why?

Uh-uh.

You don't think I look scary?

Well, at first I did.

Talking to you, I know you're

not scary.

Not scary at all!

What's inside is what counts,

right?

That's right!

Whoa!

Hey, Corduroy.

How'd you end up in our laundry

bag?

Aha!

Hmm.

Oops!

I must be skiing!

I've always wanted to-- oof!

Hey, Lis, that was some race

we had, wasn't it?

Lucky you won.

Luck had nothing to do with

it!

I'm just the fastest one around.

Plus, these sneakers are my

secret weapon.

Oh, yeah?

Let's have another race, and

we'll just see how good those

sneakers are!

You're on.

Hey!

Corduroy isn't where I left him!

Don't worry.

I've got Corduroy.

He's right over--

Uh-oh.

But he was right there!

Corduroy?

Why'd you take off without

telling me?

Hey, what happened to your

button?

CORDUROY THINKING: Can I

still be your Cordy bear, even

if I don't look my best

anymore?

You'll always be my Cordy

bear.

You're perfect just the way you

are, buttons or no buttons!

Remember to stay on the

sidewalk, kids.

Okay, Dad!

Your finish line is the fire

hydrant, okay?

Ready, set, go!

Atta boy, Moppy!

Come on, Lisa!

Oh, my!

[Panting]

Wow, Lisa!

Good race, huh?

And you said your sneakers

were plain!

You mean, plain fast!

[Laughing]

Now, I've got to run to beat

the rinse cycle!

I don't get it.

These sneakers have everything!

Self-pumping air-pocket soles,

shock-absorbing waffle treads,

and I've got all these wings

plastered all over.

I should have been flying!

Looks aren't everything,

Moppy.

Sometimes what's inside is more

important.

Hmm.

What could be inside my sneakers

that could be so important?

]] I knew you'd win!

How?

]] I just did!

I've got a little surprise

for you, Lisa.

What is it?

Wow!

I thought these might jazz up

your sneakers.

They're great, Mom, thanks!

That's my girl.

Hey!

Guess what I found?

]] What?

My button!

You found my button!

It must have fallen off the

last time you took a ride in my

knapsack.

]] What more could a bear ask

for?

No more missing button!

I like you the way you are,

Cordy, but you'll be more

comfortable if your strap's on.

[Gasping]

[Rattling]

[Water splashing]

[Both laughing]

Oh, well.

You'll always be as cute as a

button to me.

Even if I just have one

button?

Even if you just have one.



[Cars honking]

[Siren blaring in distance]



[Humming happily]

[Giggling]

Roar!

LISA: Huh?

[Corduroy giggling]

Corduroy, you silly bear!

Roar!

We can play later, Cordy, but

first I have to get this tent

up.

Moppy's going to be here any

minute.

Moppy's coming here?

He's staying for a sleepover.

A sleepover?

I want to have a sleepover, too!

Okay, you can have the

bedroom.

Yay, I'm going to have a

sleepover!

[Giggling]

Lisa?

Yes?

What's a sleepover?

It's kind of like a party,

where your friends come over and

stay all night.

You get to play games, and stay

up late.

That sounds like fun!

I know who I'm going to have at

my sleepover!

[Giggling]

Hi, Moppy!

Hi.

Wow, cool tent!

Well, so far so good.

[Lisa and Moppy giggling]

This is his first night away

from home.

We're worried he might get a

little--

MOPPY: Wow!

I could stay here for a whole

week!

[Giggling] Homesick?

Look at all the games!

That's for our planetarium!

Planet... what?

Planetarium.

It's a special place where you

can go to see the stars and

planets, but we're going to make

our own!

I can't wait!

You're sure you're going to

be okay now?

Yeah, Mom, this is going to

be the best ever!

If you start to get homesick,

just--

Dad, I'm fine!

I'm not a little kid anymore!

Are you ready for my

sleepover?

BUCKAROO: Ready!

ROSETTA: We have been ready

for a long time now!

[Whirring]

It's getting très stuffy in

here!

Yeah, can we come out now?

Uh-huh!

Are you ready for our first

game?

[Rosetta giggling]

All right, all right!

Oh!

No, hot!

Hey.

Cold, très froid!

Hmm.

Hey, Moppy, that's three

games in a row.

Huh?

Checkers.

You lost three times in a row.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

Can we hear the phone from here?

Why?

My parents will probably

phone.

They'll want to know if I'm

okay.

Are you sure your phone is

working?

Sure I'm sure.

Are you okay?

Sure, I'm fine.

Hey, I know!

Let's make our planetarium now.

Yeah, the planetarium!

Here, help me poke some holes

in this paper.

[Corduroy giggling]

Hot, hot, hot!

[Rosetta giggling]

Uh...

[Buckaroo whinnying]

Looks like you got the wrong

end, ha ha!

Why can't we play "Tape the

Tail on the Buckaroo" with

somebody else?

[Whinnying]

Okay, Moppy!

Wow, look at all the stars!

See that group of stars over

there?

That's Cygnus the Swan.

There's its body, and there's

its wings.

Oh, yeah!

There's the one that looks like

a teapot.

That's Sagittarius.

You sure know a lot about

stars.

Some day, I want to be an

astronaut!

Me, too!

I want to explore the whole

universe.

We could travel to far-off

planets.

And get to eat real space

food!

And the best part would be

listening to the countdown right

before we blast off!



We have ignition!

BOTH: 7, 6, 5!

All systems go!

BOTH: 4, 3, 2, 1!

Blast off!

MOPPY: Hey, Lisa!

Look at this!

[Lisa giggling]

Over here, Moppy!

Wow!

Look at that!

Isn't it great?

[Gulping]

We're getting farther away

from home!

I don't know, Lisa.

What do you mean?

It's just that I'm not sure

I want to be an astronaut.

How come?

If I was living up in space,

Mom and Dad wouldn't have anyone

to tuck in at night.

They might get kind of lonely.

I mean, they're not going to

have anybody to tuck in tonight!

Maybe I should go.

Hold on, Moppy.

There's tons of games we can

still play.

How about Dragons and Castles?

You can go first.

I don't think I want to.

[Sighing]

I think I'd rather just--

I know!

Let's have some snacks.

What's a sleepover without

snacks?

Here, they're your favourite!

I'm not very hungry.

Don't you want to stay?

I thought I did, but now, I

want to go home.

Well, okay.

We can call your parents to come

and get you.

You're not angry?

Nah, you're just not ready

for a sleepover yet.

Can you sing us a lullaby,

Rosetta?

But of course!

[Clearing throat]

♪ Twinkle, twinkle

little star ♪

♪ How I wonder

what you are ♪

♪ Up above the world

so high ♪

♪ Like a diamond

in the sky ♪

♪ Twinkle, twinkle

little star ♪

♪ How I wonder

wha-a-a-a-at ♪

[Dogs howling outside]

♪ You are ♪

Ahh!

I still don't feel very sleepy.

[Buckaroo whinnying]

Me, neither!

Your lullabies are different

than Lisa's.

But of course they are!

Nobody sings a lullaby like I

do!

See you tomorrow, Moppy?

Sure!

Thanks for showing me all the

neat stars.

Good night!

Good night!

You put in all that work

planning this sleepover.

Are you disappointed Moppy got

homesick?

A little, but that's okay.

Good night, Mom.

Mm, sleep tight, hon.

On second thought, Cordy did

want to have his own sleepover.

Maybe I shouldn't bother him.

[Yawning]

What are you doing here?

We missed you!

We couldn't get to sleep!

Je ne comprends pas!

I do not understand!

Even my singing did not help!

Maybe you're just not ready

to sleep on your own yet.

[Murmuring agreement]

Do you see that group of stars?

That's Cassiopeia.

She's supposed to be a queen,

but I think she looks more like

a mouse.

Did you hear that?

I look just like a queen!

Do you see that group of

stars over there, Buckaroo?

That's Pegasus, the horse.

[Buckaroo whinnying]

I like that one!

Is there a bear anywhere?

Actually, there are two

bears!

There's Ursa Minor, the little

bear!

And that one over there, that's

Ursa Major, the big bear!

Some day, I'm going to be a

big bear, right, Lisa?

You're already a big bear,

Cordy!

Good night, Lisa!

Sleep tight, Cordy.
