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.

[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.
