[ Rooster crows ]

[ Alarm beeping ]



[ Chickens clucking ]

-Hey, Granny. Happy Mother's Day.

-Mornin', pumpkin.

Ooh! [ Chuckles ]



-[ Grunts ]

-Toodle-oo!



-Morning, Cornelius. [ Cornelius neighs ]

Here you go.

Three pounds of oats to start your day.



inches -- one foot.

Perfect.



-Mornin', Matty.

Up bright and early, I see.

-Fresh rhubarb for our Mother's Day pie.

-[ Chuckles ]

-Oof! [ Both chuckle ]

-Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

-These are gorgeous, Matt. Thank you.

[ Smooches ]

-Wait. Where are you going?

I was just about to make you breakfast in bed.

-Gonna have to wait.

Got a call from down the road. They have a sick lamb.

I need to see what I can do.

-On Mother's Day?

-Well, the poor lamb doesn't know it's Mother's Day.

I'll be back soon.

[ Truck engine starts ]

[ Horn honking ]

-Ooh! Must be Mom's surprise.

[ Engine stops, door opens and closes ]

[ Alpacas bleating ]



They sure like strawberries.

-Looks that way.

Well, these rescues are even cuter than their pictures.

-May I? -Mm-hmm.

[ Llama bleats ] -[ Laughs ]

-[ Chuckles ]

-Wait'll Mom finds out we adopted two alpacas.

Welcome to your new home.

[ Alpacas bleating ]





[ Gate creaks ]



[ Ellie barking ] -[ Laughs ]

Up and over, Ellie!



Can't wait to see my cyber-berries.

Oh, no!

My cyber-berries!

They didn't grow!

Why didn't they grow?

What am I going to do?



-[ Gasps ] There she is!

-Hi, Hannah!

Your mom told us you were up here.

-Hi, Cybersquad.

Hope I didn't ruin your Mother's Day.

-No problem.

We were visiting with Motherboard when your call came.

-It's about my cyber-berry plant.

I was going to make an amazing smoothie

for my Mom with these berries, but they didn't grow.

-Huh. Thatplant grew.

-I know, right?

So, how come that cyber-spinach is growing

and my cyber-berries aren't?

-Hmm.

-Where did you get the cyber-berry seeds?

-From here.

-Did you follow the directions on how to plant them?

-The directions?

-The seeds we plant on the farm always come with directions,

just like these.

-Oh. Guess I was in too much of a rush to plant them to notice.

-It says here to plant the seeds in sandy soil.

-Hmm. This soil doesn't feel sandy to me.

-And it says cyber-berries grow best

when the temperature outside is between and cyberdegrees.

[ Thermometer beeps ]

- cyberdegrees.

That's a lot lower than .

-Which means this area is too cold to grow cyber-berries.

-What else do they need to grow?

-Okay.

This chart should help us get organized.

What do we need, Matt?

- to cyberdegrees.

Sunlight, at least eight hours per day.

Rainfall, one to two inches per week.

Soil, sandy, not too wet.

-Wow! I didn't notice how the trees are blocking the sun.

It hardly rains...

and it's too cold.

Looks like I picked the worst possible place

to plant the cyber-berries.

-Don't worry, Hannah.

Now that we know what cyber-berries need to grow,

let's find the right place to plant them.

-That would be someplace warmer, for starters.

Brrrrr!

-One weather map, coming up!

This shows the temperature

in different parts of Sportagonia.

Here we are, on Hiker's Hill.

It's cyberdegrees here,

just like

Didge's thermometer said.

-But down here, in the Sportagonian Rainforest,

it's cyberdegrees.

-Just what we need, but it looks pretty far away.

-Mother's Day could be over by the time we get there.

-Not if we take the Romping River,

the fastest river in Cyberspace.



-Hey, Boss, how come we're building a box?

-Yeah! I don't get it!

-Inside this box is going to go

the most glorious Mother's Day gift ever,

all for Motherboard.

-Aww! I knew, one day, you'd do something nice for Motherboard.

-I'm not being nice. I'm being tricky.

-Ooh, I like tricks! Tricks are fun.

-Um, what's so tricky about it, Boss?

-I am going to pretend

the present is from the Cybersquad.

-Ooh! What kind of a "present" is going in the box?

Maybe some chocolate hearts? -Ooh! Ooh!

Or a bouquet of beautiful red roses?

-No. The two of you.

-Um...





[ Ellie barks ]

-Waterfall!

-Ahhhhh! -Look out!

-No biggie.

Paddle this way.



-This better work!



-[ Panting ]

Phew-wee! That was close!



[ Lizards croaking, birds chirping ]

-Hello, Sportagonian Rainforest!

The temperature here is cyberdegrees.

-Right between and .

-[ Gasps ] The perfect temperature

to grow cyber-berries!

[ All cheering ]

-Temperature -- check.

-Okay!

The temperature's right, but what about the rainfall?

The chart says we need one to two cyber-inches every week.

-Back to the weather map.

This green area is the rainforest, where we are now.

According to the key, the green areas get

five to seven cyber-inches of rain every week.

-But we only need one to two cyber-inches.

[ Thunder crashes ]

That's way too much.



-There's gotta be a place where it doesn't rain so much.

-According to the weather map, Magnificent Meadow

has the perfect amount of rainfall

to grow cyber-berries.



-Magnificent Meadow, here we come!

Everyone ready?

-Ready! -Ready! [ Ellie barks ]

-Maybe.

[ Gulps ]

-Alright.

One, two, three, go!

[ Cybersquad whooping, laughing ]



[ Birds squawk ]



-Whoa!

Whoo! [ Ellie barks ]

-Whoo-hoo! -[ Laughing ]

-Whoa! -Whoa-h*-h*-h*!

-That was awesome!

-Hoo! -[ Laughs ]

-Magnificent Meadow is magnificent, alright!

-These flowers are amazing! -Yep.

They're Giant Sportagonian Sunflowers.

-But can we grow cyber-berries here?

-Temperature is...

[ Thermometer beeps ] ... cyberdegrees.

-Temperature -- check.

-Next, the berries need more than eight hours

of direct sunlight per day.

-It seems like a sunny spot.

But how can we be sure it's sunny enough?

-Listen to this.

It says that Giant Sportagonian Sunflowers

only grow with more than hours

of direct sunlight every day.

-So if it works for the sunflowers,

there should be enough sun for the cyber-berries to grow, too.

-Right amount of sunlight -- check.

-And the weather map already told us

the meadow gets the right amount of rainfall.

-Rainfall -- check.

-So, if the meadow has the right kind of soil,

then it's a perfect place to grow cyber-berries!

-Soil check.

-Uh-oh!

It feels...wet.

-And we need dry and sandy.

So cyber-berries probably won't grow here.

-Ugh, and we were so close.

-Wait a minute.

There's Mount Sportagonia!

-Mount Sportagonia?

-Hannah and I hiked up there last time I was here.

Remember? -Right.

And it was sandy at the top.

-Which means it could be a good place

for growing cyber-berries.



-[ Grunts ] Hold still, Deedee!

-Why is building this box taking so long?

-If we're going inside the box, we have to make sure we fit.

-Fine! Speed it up.

-Got it.

Delete is four cyber-feet tall...

...and one cyber-foot across.

Write that down, Boss.

-I'm The Hacker. I don't write things down.

-Then you measure, and I'll write.

I can't do both.

-[ Groans ]

Fine. I'll write.

-Stay there, Buzzy.

Buzz is one cyber-foot tall.

-Just one?

-Just one, Buzzy. -[ Scoffs ]

-And three cyber-feet wide. Three.

-Now we're talking!

-You get that, Boss? -I got it.

So, to fit you both, that, uh...

that makes the box four feet wide annnnd...

at least four feet tall.

-Good job, Boss! -I've already written the card.

[ Chuckles ]

"Dearest Motherboard,

roses are red, violets are blue.

On this very special day,

our tender thoughts are with you.

Much love..."

-[ Gasps ] That was so beautiful.

-As I was saying,

"Much love and a humongous group hug.

Signed, The Cybersquad."

-What's that, Boss?

-The gift for Motherboard.

I call it the...Hard Drive Destroyer!

-Destroyer?

That doesn't sound nice like the note does.

-It's not!

It will instantly destroy Motherboard's operating system.

Follow these instructions to the letter. Got it?

-Yeah, got it, Boss. -Got it.

[ Bird screeches ]

-To get to the peak of Mount Sportagonia,

we climb up there.





-[ Grunts ]



-[ Grunts ]



-Wow! -Wow! -Wow!



[ Cybersquad cheering ]

-Good job, Cybersquad. [ Giggles ]

-Wait.

Where's Ellie?



[ Ellie barks ]

There she is!

-Ellie! -We were so worried!

-Where did Ellie come from?

-A path?

-I mean, we could have taken the path,

but it wouldn't have been as much fun as rock climbing.

-Very true. -True.

-Okay.

Let's see if this is a good place to plant cyber-berries.



-Aha! cyberdegrees!

Check!

-One down, three to go.

Next up -- sunlight.

-It seems like a sunny spot.

But do we know it gets more than eight hours of sunshine?

-Ooh! Check this out!

Mount Sportagonia is the sunniest spot in Sportagonia.

It gets over hours of sun a day!

-That's more than enough.

Check!

-What about the rainfall?

-We're here.

Remember, brown means that this area gets

between one and three cyber-inches of rain per week,

which is the right amount for the berries to grow.

-Rainfall -- check.

-That's three down, one to go. [ Ellie barks ]

-If the soil is sandy and not too wet,

this is the perfect spot.

Fingers crossed!

-Feels sandy to me.

-So a yes for soil.

-This is it, Hannah!

This is the spot to grow your cyber-berries.

-And I have another packet of cyber-berry seeds.

Let's plant 'em.







Done! Now we wait.

-Wait?!

-Hannah, the fruits and veggies on my farm at home

take weeks to grow,

sometimes longer.

-These berries will never grow in time for this Mother's Day!

-Oops. I guess I forgot to tell you,

the cyber-berries here in Sportagonia

grow in only a few hours.

-Really?! -Really?! -Really?!

-So...now what?

[ Ellie barks ] -We wait.

[ Ellie barks ]



[ Doorbell rings ]

-Who's there? [ Static ]

-Delivery for Motherboard from the Cybersquad.



[ Yo-yo rattling ]

-The cyber-berries still aren't growing!

-Mother's Day is going to be over soon!

-I'm not worried.



-Wait! They're growing!

[ Cybersquad cheering ] -Good job, Cybersquad.

-We did it! Yes! I knew it would happen!

Well, Hannahknew it.

-[ Giggles ]



-Together: Happy Mother's Day!

-Here you go, Mom.

Your favorite smoothie for Mother's Day.

-[ Chuckles ] -And Hannah planted

the cyber-berries all by herself.

-Well, I did have a little help.

-[ Slurps ]

Mmm, delicious!

This is so thoughtful and sweet of you.

-Well, we're off to see Motherboard.

It's a big day for her, too.

-Bye, Cybersquad! And thanks!

[ Ellie barks ]



[ Muffled grumbling ]

-Aah! Oh!

How do we get out of here, Deedee?

-[ Straining ] There's gotta be a way!

-Wait! I have an idea.

[ Grunts ]

Owie!

-There's no way out, Buzzy.

We're stuck.

-Give me that Destroyer thingie Boss gave you.

Maybe I can use that to poke our way out of here.

-I don't have it. I thought you had it!

-You forgot the stick, Deedee! -We forgot the stick!

[ Doorbell rings ]

-Cybersquad, come in.

Welcome back.

-Mother-B! -Mother-B!

-Together: Happy Mother's Day!

-Thank you. I can't wait to see what's inside the gift you sent.

-Gift? -Gift?

-What gift? -Gift?

-What gift?

-Must be that.

-Shh! The Cybersquad's here.

-What are we going to do?

-Hmm. There's a card on it.

Says it's from us.

-Only it isn't.

-Well, who sent it, then?

-Buzzy, I think they're onto us!

-Maybe they won't open the box.

-Uh-oh! I'm gonna sneeze!

-Can you hold it?

-Achoo!

-Buzz? Delete?

-What are you two doing in there?

-Um, the boss sent us here to, uh, you know...

Um, Deedee?

-[ Stammers ] He sent us here to sing a special song

for, um, Mother's Day!

-[ Giggles nervously ] Yeah, yeah. Right, right.

Um, uh...

♪ Happy Mother's Day, Motherboard ♪

♪ You're the best... motherboard ♪

-♪ Your kindness can never be ignored ♪

-Ooh, good one, Deedee.

-Why are you reallyhere?

-Um, uh, gee...

-Uh...

-"Quietly climb out of box.

Secretly place Hard Drive Destroyer

into Motherboard's computer"?

-Yeah, but Delete forgot it.

-Iforgot it? Youforgot it!

-You took the boss' plan with us?!

-I couldn't remember it all! I'm sorry!



-These are for you, Motherboard.

-Happy Mother's Day.

[ Laughs ] For real this time.

[ Up-tempo music playing ]

[ Laughter, indistinct conversations ]

-[ Laughing ]

-Aww, Motherboard looks so happy.

[ Chuckles ]



[ Cellphone chirps ]

-Hi, Boss!

It's the boss.

-Well? Is it done?

-[ Chuckles nervously ] Well, actually,

it's -- it's -- it's a funny story.

Um... [ Clears throat ]

-What's all that noise?

Is that music?

-This is the best Mother's Day ever.

-Best day ever?

-Hey, Hacker...

-Better luck next time.

-Nice try! -Ha! Ha!

-My marvelous Mother's Day trick, ruined!

Ahhhhhh!



-Maaatttyyy!

-Coming.

I left the gate open?

And the alpacas are gone?

-Unfortunately, yes.

-We have to find them before Mom gets back!

-They could be anywhere.

-Maybe they were hungry. -Wait!

I remember the driver who brought them

was feeding them strawberries, and they liked them.

-If you're right, I think I know where they could be.

[ Gasps ] There they are!

-Oh! Hungry critters, aren't they?

Get 'em!

-More strawberries, guys?

[ Alpacas bleating ] Let's go home.

-So, what's the surprise?

-Just keep your eyes closed, Mom.

We're almost there.

[ Gate creaks ]

Okay...

Open!

-Alpacas?

-Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

-They're for you, hon.

-I have always wanted an alpaca.

[ Alpacas bleating ] Now I have two.

Thanks so much.

-You'll be happy to know we rescued them.

-Welcome to your forever home.

-I'm glad you like your gift.

-There's no better gift than you, Matt.

You're the best.

Thank you, everybody!

[ Laughter ] [ Alpacas bleating ]

-Stay right where you are. It's "Cyberchase For Real."

-Today, I'm joining my cousin Kimmie

at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

She's in the Garden Apprentice Program,

learning to grow fruits and vegetables.

Hey, Kimmie.

-Hey, Booker. -Whatcha doin'?

-Giving my green thumb a workout.

-I wish I had a green thumb.

I haven't a clue about how to take care of plants.

-I didn't know either before I started coming here.

Right now, I'm just doing a little harvesting.

-What else grows here?

-All kinds of plants grow well in Brooklyn

when the weather's warm.

Oh, hi! -Hi!

-Ashley, this is my cousin, Booker.

-Hi Booker. -Hi.

It's great to see what vegetables look like

before they get to the grocery store.

-The climate here makes it pretty easy

to provide everything these plants need during the summer.

-What do you mean?

-Warm temperature -- to degrees Fahrenheit --

sunlight, water, air, nutrients, and space.

-Hmm.

So, all those are available here during the summer.

But we eat vegetables in the winter, too.

-That's true.

When the weather gets colder here --

below degrees Fahrenheit --

we can't grow most of these vegetables outside.

When that happens, grocery stores

often get vegetables from a place with a warmer climate.

Then those vegetables travel here

by boat, train, truck, even plane.

But transporting food long distances

uses a lot of fuel and causes pollution.

-Ohh! So that's why it's a good idea

to buy fruits and vegetables that grow near where you live.

-It's possible to grow fruits and vegetables inside.

Is it okay if I show him?

-Sure!

-This is a conservatory.

It's a place that provides plants that can't live outside

in this climate all year round

with the things they need to grow inside.

-Even when it gets cold here in the winter?

-Right.

-This place is amazing!

-In here, there are plants that grow in the Caribbean,

south of Florida,

thousands of miles from New York.

-You mean like Jamaica?

That's where my aunt lives.

-Yes.

Jamaica, Cuba,

Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico...

-Ooh! Guava!

Star fruit?

Papaya!

I love papaya.

My aunt grows papaya in her yard.

I wish we could grow a papaya tree in myyard.

What does it take for one to grow here?

-Warm temperature.

Ideally, it's to degrees Fahrenheit in here

all year round.

The sun heats up the inside of the greenhouse,

and the glass roof traps the warmth.

But electricity is still needed to keep it warm enough

when it's cold outside.

There's also plenty of light and water,

the right kind of soil,

and protection from insects and animals.

-So you mean, in a big greenhouse like this,

gardeners provide plants with what nature provides outside,

in the Caribbean?

From now on, I will think about this place

every time I eat papaya.
