MALIK: "Backwards Day."

♪

Welcome to Malik's Outrageous Obstacle Course Race.

Here's how you play.

First, you run around the cones of fire.

Don't touch 'em, or you might melt.

Oh, no!

Not real fire, Zeke.

Just pretend.

Oh.

Don't worry, Snout, it's just pretend.

Next, you run to

the whirly swirly hippity hoops.

When you get there, you grab a hoop,

and then you gotta move around in a circle three times

while you spin the hoop.

Then you come to the highest, tightest rope ever.

Ever?Ever.

And you have to walk across without...

Whoa!

[voice trembling]: Falling off into the hot lava!

Whew!

And after that is the Maze of Confusion.

You have to run through it

without bumping the walls. [grunts]

Or they may come crashing down.

And then you come to... [yelps]

Muddy puddle!And you jump over it.

I want to do Malik's Outrageous Obstacle Course Race now.[groans]

Sorry, Zeke.

The race isn't happening until tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

But I don't wanna wait till tomorrow.

We don't have time to do it today, Zeke.

But it's on the schedule for tomorrow.

I made this handy schedule for our busy day.

It'll let us know all the things we need to do tomorrow

and the order we need to do them in.

Number one, eat breakfast.

Number two, take a group photo with our friends.

Number three, do the obstacle course race.

Number four, eat lunch.

Number five, sing karaoke in the Creation Station.

Number six, eat dinner.

Number seven, eat dessert.

Oh.

If all that happens tomorrow,

then what happens now?

SUPER: Dinner time!

[slurps]

Ah, ah, ah, those are for dessert.

[groans]: But my tummy wants one now.

No can do, little squish.

Dessert comes after dinner.

That's the order.[sighs]

But sometimes,

if it's a special day,

dessert should come before dinner.

Dessert before dinner?

That's backwards.

And that gives me an idea.

♪

[snoring]

Good night, little squishes.

Good night?

[yawns]

Aren't we just waking up?

It's not night.

It's day.

So you should be saying, "Good morning,"

not, "Good night."

But this is no ordinary day, it's...

Backwards Day!

Zeke gave me the idea at dinner last night,

when he said he wanted dessert before dinner.

Today, we're going to do everything in backwards order.

Let's eat.

I get it.

So today, instead of following our schedule

in this order: one, eat breakfast;

two, pose for the group photo with our friends;

three, do the obstacle course race;

four, eat lunch;

five, sing karaoke in the Creation Station;

six, eat dinner;

seven, eat dessert,

we're going to reverse the order of the schedule

so it's backwards, like this.

[device clicking]

Seven, eat dessert; six, eat dinner;

five, sing karaoke in the Creation Station;

four, eat lunch;

three, do the obstacle course race;

two, pose for the group photo with our friends;

and one, eat breakfast.

If we're doing everything backwards,

I say we wear our shirts backwards, too. [giggles]

ZEKE:Grandma!

We're wearing our shirts backwards,

and we came in backwards.

Did you see, Grandma? Did you see?

I sure did.

And since it's Backwards Day,

we get to eat dessert before dinner, right?

That's what Malik's backwards schedule says.

Backwards Day rules.

[eating]

Delicious!

Now what?Now it's time for dinner.

Dumplings for my dumplings. [giggles]

♪

ZEKE: Beep beep![kids giggling]

What comes next on our Backwards Day schedule, Malik?

Let's see.

It's time to do number five on the list: karaoke.

We're gonna... ♪ Sing

We'll be at the Creation Station for karaoke, Grandma.

Okay, goodbye.

Oh!

I mean, hello,

because it's Backwards Day. [laughs]

ALL: Hello.

[laughs]

♪

Step, step, turn.

Step, step, bump, jump.

ALL: Goodbye, Mr. E.

Goodbye?

Don't you mean hello?

And why are your shirts on backwards?

Because it's Backwards Day,Mr. E.

We're doing everything backwards.

Backwards?

That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.

Hello!

Goodbye, Ellie.

Evidently, it's Backwards Day,

so we greet each other with "goodbye"

and do everything backwards.

Ridiculous.

Ooh,

that sounds fun.

I think I'll jump rope backwards.

Hello, have a grand day.

Wait for me, Ellie!

[Mr. E yelps]Mr. E!

[grunts, falls]Careful.

Maybe we should make an announcement

so everybody knows when to show up for what.

[switch clicks]Attention, Treeborhood.

[over speakers]: Today is Backwards Day!

So we'll be doing everything in backwards order.

Which means right now,

it's time for karaoke.

[chuckling]

[inhales sharply, yelps]

[singing "Bahay Kubo" in Tagalog]

[song ends, clapping and cheering]

Fantastic! Who's next?

We'd like to go.

We'd like to sing the alphabet song.

♪ Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T

♪ S, R, Q

♪ P, O, N, M

♪ L, K, J

They're singing it backwards?♪ I, H, G

♪ F, E, D

♪ C, B, A

♪ And now you know

♪ Just how to say

♪ The ABCs the backwards way

[cheering, clapping]

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Since karaoke was number five,

number four comes next, and that means

it's time for...

DUFFY: I hope it's lunch,

'cause look what I have.

Yay!

[yelps]

[talking and laughing in background]

Wait! Today's Backwards Day.

You know what to do.

Delicious.

What's number three

on your Backwards Day schedule, Malik?

The Outrageous Obstacle Course Race?

Whoo-hoo!

Attention, everyone.

Gather at the base of the Treeborhood

for the first-ever

Backwards Outrageous Obstacle Course Race.

Let's roll.

Backwards Obstacle Course Race, eh?

To avoid further falls,

I need to find a way to see behind myself.

This is the starting line.

First,

run around the cones of fire.

Next is the whirly swirly hippity hoops.

When you get there, you grab a hoop, and

you gotta move around in a circle three times

while you spin the hoop.

Then, you come to the highest,

tightest rope ever.Ever!

And you have to walk across without...

Whoa!

[voice trembling]: Falling off into the hot lava!

And after that is the Maze of Confusion.

You have to run through without bumping the walls,

or they may come crashing down.

And then, you jump over the...

Muddy puddle!

First one across the finish line wins.

Oh!

'Cause it's Backwards Day,

we should start at the finish line.

Then, we should go backwards

until we get to the starting line.Yeah!

Okay.

Go...

Get set...[Mr. E panting]

Don't start without me.

Mr. E, why is there a mirror on your shoulder?

Since I kept running into things

while I was walking backwards,

I put a mirror on my shoulder

so I can see what's behind me.

Smart thinking, Mr. E.

Go, get set, on your marks!

[laughing]

[mud splatting]

[laughing]

All right! [cackles]

[panting]

[giggles]

♪

Whoa!

[grunts]

Whoa!

[laughing]: Whoo-hoo!

[grunting]

One, two, three!

Ah![Zeke giggling]

Whew! I knew I could trust

my trusty rear view mirror.

[giggles]: Whoo-hoo!

BOTH [laughing]: Yay!

ZEKE:Yay.

We did it, Mr. E.

We crossed the finish line!

I mean, the starting line.

We came in first, first, first.

I mean, last, last, last.

This is the happiest day of my life!

What's next on our Backwards Day schedule, Malik?

MALIK: Number two is...

SUPER [on speaker]: It's time for the group photo

in the Starlight Room.

Picture time!

Let's go.

Backwards conga line!

[singing conga rhythm]

Mr. E and I won the Outrageous Backwards

Obstacle Course Race, Grandma!

I liked the mud the best.

SUPER:I see.

Guess we'll just have one muddy picture now, won't we?

Let me set the timer on this bad boy.

Wait, it's Backwards Day.

Turn around, everyone.

[shutter clicks]

Next up on our backwards schedule

is breakfast.

Can you make

blueberry pancakes for us, Grandma?

Please?

Yay! [giggles]

What's this?

It's a Backwards Day hug.

'Cause I love you frontwards and backwards.

Hey, maybe tomorrow we can do Sideways Day.

I've read every single one of these comic books.

[rustling]Huh?

Is there something in there?

[cheering]

Want to play a game we made up?

It's called Guess What Comes Next.

CRABS: Pop, pop, popcorn!

Pop, pop, popcorn!

Pop, pop, popcorn!

I know what comes next.

So do I.

BOTH: Pop, pop, popcorn!

How did you guess?

I noticed you were doing a pattern.

We weren't doing a pattern.

It was just a fun game.

A fun pattern game.

What's a pattern?

I'm glad you asked.

Mm...

This is a pattern, see?

Red, yellow, red, yellow,

that repeat all the way down.

Oh, yeah, that's a pattern for sure.

But how is our game a pattern?

Well, the pattern on the towel is a pattern you can see.

But you did a pattern we could hear.

"Pop, pop, popcorn!"

Whoa!

There are patterns you can hear?Yes.

Check it out.

Close your eyes and listen.

Guess what comes next

We do patterns.

[cheer]

So the game we made up is a pattern game.

Like games they had at the Flowerhood Fair, remember?

We won a flower.

We love fairs.

And now we love patterns.

Wish we could do both.

You mean, like a pattern fair?

A pattern fair?

Count me in.

Did you hear that?

Malik's gonna put on a pattern fair.

Wait, what?

Yay! What pattern games

are you going to come up with, Malik?

Yahoo! What will the grand prize be?

Don't ruin the surprise, Carly.

We'll find out after lunch at the pattern fair.

After lunch?

How am I going to do that?

Uh, okay.

I guess I'm in.

I'm gonna see if Zadie and Zeke can help with the fair.

If we're going to win at the pattern fair,

we gotta practice working out patterns.

I've got a pattern you can see, hear, and do.

Yowza!

I want Herbert to be the grand prize at the fair.

I'll miss him, but that's okay.

Someone else will love to have him.

Yes.

Someone else take him, please!

Let's call it

the Magnificent, Marvelous, Amazing, Awesome,

Best-Ever Pattern Fair!

Or how about Patternpalooza?

Hm, that'll work.

We can make game booths out of cardboard.

That's easy.

The hard part is...

We're gonna have to think up some pattern games.

Thinking positions.

♪

Got one.

We could do a sound pattern game.

We could play part of a song, and Carly, CeCe, and Clyde

have to work out what the next part is.

Great idea, Zadie.

And we could do a shape pattern game,

but part of the pattern will be out of order,

and they have to fix it.

And I'll do colors with a pattern

of red and blue jellybeans.

MALIK:That gives CeCe, Carly, and Clyde

three pattern games to play:

sounds, shapes, and colors.

Each time they win a game, they get a prize.

And if they get all three pattern games right,

they win the grand prize...

Herbert!

I'm okay!

CLYDE: The pattern is bounce, step...

CARLY: Kick and scissor...CECE: Happy feet.

Look, a color pattern.

CECE: Red, pink, white.

CECE AND CARLY: Red, pink, white.

CLYDE: Red, white, pink.

That's not right.

Red, pink, white.

Yay!Yay!

Look, a shape pattern.

Square, square, circle.

Square, square, circle.

Square...

Square...

Circle.

[cheering]

CECE: Small, medium, large.

Small, medium, large.

Small, medium, large.

Small, medium, large.

We practiced patterns.

And we're ready to win the grand prize.

ALL: At the pattern fair!

Yay!

♪

Everything ready, Zadie?

[loudly]: Yes!

This is going to be

the best Patternpaloozaever!

Uh, I'm pretty sure it's the only Patternpalooza ever.

All set, Zeke?All set.

Red and blue jellybeans for my color pattern game.

Perfect.

We're ready to open the fair.

I like these red jellybeans best.

They're yummiest.

Mm...

Oops, I messed up.

Yum.

There, fixed it.

But I like the red ones better.

Mm...

What's that, Snout?[Snout squeaks]

I messed up the pattern again?

I'll fix it.

MALIK: Welcome to the Patternpalooza.

We have three pattern games for you to play,

and if you win all three,

you win the grand prize...

Herbert!

[all gasp]

Herbert!

First, you'll need to solve

the shape pattern.

Something in this shape pattern

is out of order.

Fix it, and you win a prize.

CRABS: Circle, triangle, square, rectangle.

Circle, triangle, square, rectangle.

Circle, triangle, square, rectangle.

Circle, triangle, rectangle, square.

Huh?

CLYDE: The last row is circle,

triangle, rectangle, square.

That's not right.

It should be circle, triangle, square, rectangle.

You worked out the pattern and fixed it.

Pick a prize, folks.

Hippity hoop?

Sticker Monster stickers?

Bucket of sand?

ALL: Bucket of sand? Yay!

Oh, sand!

So soft.

See how it slips through my claw?

[sniffs]

Smells like quality beach sand.

Let's make a sandcastle.

Or you could work out the next pattern at my booth

and be closer to winning Herbert.

CRABS [exclaim]:Herbert!

This is a pattern you can hear.

Close your eyes and listen.

No peeking.

[slide whistle plays]

[kazoo blows]

[honks twice]

[slide whistle plays]

[kazoo blows]

[honks twice]

[slide whistle plays]

Okay, you can open your eyes.

To win this pattern game,

you have to guess the sound that comes next.

[kazoo blows]

A kazoo.

That's the first sound, I think.

But what is the second sound in the pattern?

[blows kazoo]

[rings]

Nopery.

[kazoo blows][clang]

Not even close.

[kazoo blows][honks twice]

Yeah!

Kazoo, horn...

We need one more.

[drumroll plays]No.

[kazoo blows][honks twice]

[xylophone playing]Uh-uh.

[kazoo blows][honks twice]

[slide whistle plays]Slide whistle!

Perfect!

You worked out the pattern.

You win.

Pick a prize.

Pogo stick?

Unicorn floatie?

Bucket of sand?

CRABS: Bucket of sand!

I don't see anything.

[chuckles nervously]: There was supposed to be

a color pattern game.

[softly]: What happened to the jellybeans, Zeke?

[with full mouth]: Mm, Snout might have

accidentally eaten them.

[groans]

But we don't need jellybeans, because,

uh, because this game of patterns

is, is, uh...

It's a game that you have to make up

your own pattern.

Yes, mm-hmm.

That's right.

It's a make your own pattern game,

and it can be anything you want.

And remember,

you're playing for the grand prize.

Herbert.

CRABS: Herbert!

Way to work it out, Zeke.

Hm, what pattern can we make up?

MR. E:♪ Bounce, step, kick and scissor ♪

♪ Happy feet

♪ Bounce, step, kick and scissor, happy feet ♪

♪ Bounce, step, kick and scissor, happy feet ♪

CRABS: Flip, flop,

flippity flip!

Flip, flop, flippity flip!

Flip, flop, flippity flip!

Flip, flop, flippity flip!

Hmm.

Let's see...

Uh, flop, flip?

Nope.

Actually, it's flip, flop.

And then you do flippity flip.

WOMBATS: Flip, flop,

flippity flip!

Flip, flop, flippity flip!

Yay!
