[Kelp reading]

[Kelp] Sorry I'm late.

That's okay.

We're still waiting for Riki.

-Where is she?
-Hiya, kids.

♪ Doo, doo, doo ♪

You waiting for me?

-Yeah.
-Riki's here!

-Yeah.
-Riki's here.

You must be Kelp.

You've got good vibes.

And I hear
you've got a good ear for music.

Actually, he's got
two good ears for music.

Get out!

A unicorn with two ears?

I have two ears too, Riki.

Oh, yeah.

[laughs] That's right.

Now, are you kids ready
to meet the plants?

[unicorn 1]
I just love it in here.

[unicorn 2] Let's do it!

Ooh.

Wow.

I just love it in here.

Every plant in this greenhouse
is both magical and musical.

See these flowers?

-I call them petal bells.
-[giggles]

-[bells jingling]
-[kids laughing]

[scatting]

[bells ringing]

Whoa.

That's amazing.

Wow.

Magical musical plants
need a lot of love and care.

And that's why
I invited you here today.

I was hoping you might
wanna help me
take care of some of them.

[gasping]

We'd love to, Riki.

Can we really?

In that case,

why don't each of you
go choose a plant
you'd like to take care of.

-I know which one I'm choosing.
-Let's do it.

Come on, I've got mine.

Oh, nice bubbles.

Thanks.
That happens when I'm happy.

Riki...

how do I choose just one?

You'll just know when you know.

Now be free.
Go explore the greenhouse.

I have another question.

Questions are good.

Ask away.

What do magical
musical land plants
need to be happy?

Well, I'm glad you asked.
It really depends on the plant.

Some love the sun.

Others prefer the shadows.

And some like it when you sing.

[strums]

Wow.

♪ Every living thing
Knows how to sing ♪

♪ If you know what to do
Your plant will sing too ♪

Which one will you choose?

♪ Maybe the petal bells ♪

They like you!

I like them too,
but I think I should look around

before making
such a big decision.

Good idea.

You're so pretty.

I bet you sound pretty too.

♪ How about a plant
That makes a beat? ♪

♪ This one's called
The rattlebean mesquite ♪

[rattling]

Because it rattles.

♪ Keep it up ♪

Ollie on the bluster pipes.

[pipes blowing]

-Juni and the snappy traps.
-[plants snapping]

Leroy!

Oh, what's this?

[sniffing]

It smells like treasure.

♪ The barking bulb
Loves being deep
In the ground ♪

♪ Bury it if you wanna hear
A sweet sound ♪

Oh, I can do that.

I bury all my treasures.

♪ Every living thing knows
How to sing ♪

-♪ Keep it up ♪
-♪ Ooh, your plant
Can sing too ♪

-♪ Every living thing
Knows how to sing ♪
-♪ Keep it up ♪

Hey.

Does anyone see Kelp?

Huh?

[all] Kelp?

-Kelp?
-Kelp?

Over here!

Huh?

This is my plant.

[Ollie] Really?

That one?

Yep.

Aw. It's sad.

It's a sad, sad plant.

Maybe.

Does it even make music?

I don't know yet.

Kelp, I can take care
of anything from petal bells
to drumming flytraps,

but I have never been able
to make that plant play music.

Gosh,
I don't even know its name,

since musical plants
are identified based on sound.

Are you sure
this is the one you want?

Absolutely, positively sure?

Uh-huh.

I just know when I know.

Okey-dokey.

In that case, have fun, kids.

[humming]

I have bad news, Kelp.

Riki is the best gardener
in all of Unicorn Land.

What's bad about that?

If she couldn't get
your plant to make music,

maybe it's not possible.

That's okay.
I just wanna be
a good plant-sitter.

Whatever you need,
buddy, I got you.

[sighs] Okay.

So where do you think
our magical musical plants
would like to go?

To the most magical
musical place
in all of Unicorn Land.

[all] Glimmer Glen!

[upbeat music playing]

Sit.

Stay.

-Good job.
-[snapping]

[pipes blowing]

Hmm.
I wonder what I should do first
for my plant.

I'm gonna gonna water mine.
Maybe you could try that too?

Are you thirsty?

Try watering it.

[gasps]

Oh, it flooped.

Maybe it doesn't like water.

I should try something else.

You wanna try warm sunshine?

What do you think?
Do you like the sunshine?

[plant groans]

[sighs]

[both groaning]

Try feeding it.

I guess it isn't hungry.

Well, to be fair, most plants
don't actually have mouths.

Maybe your plant wants out
of its pot, so it can spread
its plantiness wide.

Like mine.

See?

It's already growing big
and strong and barky.

[plant barking]

That's a good idea, Tutu.

Ollie, can you watch my plant
while I find
a good spot to bury it?

I think I can handle it.

It's not like a plant
can get into trouble.

Thanks!

[gasps] It lost a leaf!

It lost a leaf!

[whimpers]

Hmm.

If I was a plant,
where would I wanna be?

-[Ollie] Uh,
a little help over here.
-Huh?

Hmm?

[groaning]

Leaves grow back.

You're going to be okay,
little plant.

Well, Riki said it's okay
for you to choose
another plant. Remember?

Why don't we go back
to the greenhouse
and find you another one?

-Yeah.
-That's a good idea.

-Yes.
-Thanks, everyone.

But I don't want another plant.

Don't you want one
that's not so floppy?

Maybe one that's more happy?

Yeah, and musical?

Mm-mm.

Why do you wanna keep
Sad, Sad Plant?

Because Sad,
Sad Plant's my plant.

And I'm sticking by it.
That's why I'm gonna take it
home with me.

How would you like
to meet my family?

I'll put you
in one of my bubbles
to protect you.

Come on.

My sister, Scallop, is gonna be
so happy to meet you.

I really feel like
he's going to need to choose
another plant tomorrow,

-don't you?
-Mm-hm.

-Poor Kelp.
-Bye, everyone.

Huh? [gasps]

Play nice.

Sorry.

-It likes to chomp bubbles.
-Here.

There you go, Chompy Plant.

It's okay to chomp empty ones.

That is never not fun.

Huh?

Are you okay?

What are you reaching for?

There's nothing there except...
water.

And you didn't like water.

Oh.

This is ocean water.

Are you a sea-water plant?

I'm a sea-water unicorn.

Well, sort of.

I knew I chose you for a reason.

I get what it's like
to feel out of place.

The good thing is,
I think I can help you.

[all gasping]

Come on.

[gasps] It's working.

[both] It is?

[all] Wow.

You're doing it, Sad, Sad Plant.

You were right, Kelp.

You never gave up and now, look.

Sad, Sad Plant
isn't sad anymore.

-Let's play
all our plants together.
-Great idea, Ollie.

[plant buzzing]

[plant rattling]

[plant barking]

[plant pipes blowing]

[plant snapping]

Mm. Good job, Kelp.

[humming]
