[Bo] "Treehouse Trouble."

OK, team, the time has come.

Bum-ba-bum-ba-bum! ♪

for another top-secret,

super-official Firebuds meeting.

Awesome sauce!

-Let's do it!

-Aw, yeah!

I'll take notes!

Huddle up, Firebuds!

Our first order of business

-[child] You're it!

-[children laughing]

-I said, our first

-[laughing, cheering]

You're it!

Whoo-hoo!

Argh! What we should do first is s

Time for birthday cake and oil shakes!

Come and get 'em!

-[brakes squeal]

-[giggles]

-[horn blows]

-[cheers]

Buds, we gotta find our own meeting space.

That's That's what I was trying to say!

This playground's gotten way too busy.

Whoa! So what would you all think of

A bedroom pillow fort! Cozy, right?

Oh! Violet! Watch my side mirror.

Ow! Axl, that's my foot!

Bo, I think your room's too small.

[Bo]

Um, OK. How about

The woods behind our house!

There's lots of space,

total privacy, and

Bugs!

Aah! They're everywhere!

[siren sounding]

Even I can't outrun them!

All right. Uh

Ooh! I know!

[Bo] Popcorn's dog house!

The puppy's right, Bo.

There's no way we'd all fit in there.

Ah, I guess not. But there's

just gotta be a place. Hmm

[gasps] And we're looking right at it!

[angelic chorus]

-Behind a tree?

-Piston, come on.

He means we should hollow out the tree

and make a secret cave hideout!

What? No! I'm saying we build a treehouse!

I mean, I guess that would be easier.

Being up that high would be good

for spotting people in the neighborhood

-who need rescuing.

-And it would be our space!

With all the stuff we need.

Neatly arranged by size and color.

Let's build a treehouse!

OK! But how?

Pfft! My dad's a carchitect, remember?

With all the houses

he's designed and built,

I'm sure he's got

all the supplies we need.

Ooh, right, let's go ask him!

Hmm. A treehouse, huh?

Now, that is a tree-mendous idea.

[laughing]

Cool ramps!

Oh, that's a model for a

carpartment building

we built last year.

Heh. That's what I love

about being a carchitect.

You give people and vehicles

a place to come together.

Now [clears throat]

I suppose y'all need some supplies.

-Whoa!

-It's beautiful!

What'd I tell ya?

So much stuff!

So organized!

The most important thing

our treehouse needs

is ramps, ramps, and more ramps!

Actually, the most important thing

is a computer command center.

I believe you mean the bookshelf

filled with safety manuals.

[gasps] What about the fire pole?!

No! The ramps are more important.

-Bookshelf.

-Computer command center!

-[Flash] Fire pole!

-Let me give you

a piece of advice, Bo.

Every building needs a plan

for how it's going to look

before you build it.

So ya better make sure everyone agrees

on your plan before you start.

Thanks, Uncle Floyd.

All righty! Who's ready

to design our treehouse!

[all cheer]

-Whoa!

-[Axl] Ramps, ramps

More ramps!

[Jayden] Command center

boom, boom, bam.

[Piston] Here's a perfect spot

for a bookshelf.

Buds! Buds! Time out!

Those are all great ideas.

But Uncle Floyd said we all need to agree

on one plan. So I think

we should work together

to make sure everything fits.

Because, you know

We can build our clubhouse in a tree ♪

If we all work in harmony ♪

Or we can all build

the things we want on our own!

That way, we all get everything we want!

I like that idea better.

Oh, yeah!

As long as I get my bookshelf!

We all win!

Uh, I guess we can give that a try.

This can be the fire hose storage area,

so when there's an emergency,

I can grab 'em like wham!

And then I'll slide down

the fire pole like whoosh!

-[laughs]

-Yeah.

Fires are gonna think twice

before messing with us!

[both] Wee-oo!

These cables should connect

my lookout camera

to my mega-monitor. So we can look out

for people in trouble in the neighborhood.

While we enjoy my collection

of safety manuals.

[tool whirring]

With these ramps to zoom up and down,

nothing'll stand in our way!

Of saving the day!

[smooches] Perfection!

And we're done! You ready to do this?

So ready!

Bum-ba-bum-ba-bum! ♪

Huddle up, Firebuds!

-Whoa!

-[gasps]

Hey, man, my camera!

Hoods up! Here comes Axl!

What's that?!

[slow-motion] Nooooo!

-[brakes squealing]

-My manuals!

Who put a bookshelf in front of my ramp?

Who put a ramp behind my bookshelf?

Whoa!

Who put all these fire hoses

in the doorway?

OK, looks like doing

our own thing didn't work.

So maybe, we should try

fixing it together, 'cause, you know

We can build our clubhouse in a tree ♪

If we all work in harmony ♪

Or I can just make more doors

for my ramps to go through.

And I can make more room for my cables

by moving the fire pole.

-[grunts]

-And I can just

stack these hoses out of everyone's way.

[hammer banging]

Um, Axl, I think that hole

is weakening the wall.

[grunts]

Jayden, that pole was holding up the roof!

[gasps] No.

Violet, you're you're piling

too much stuff in one place.

The floor can't hold it!

Uh Uh, Buds

I think the treehouse is collapsing!

Get outta here!

Uh-oh.

[brakes squeal]

[gasps]

Is everyone safe?

No. Look!

-Help!

-[siren sounding]

We gotta get Axl down!

How? The ramps are all broken!

Hmm [gasps]

Maybe we could put the pieces together

like a puzzle and make a new ramp

for Axl to slide down.

I never met a puzzle I couldn't solve.

[beeps, whirring]

Let's see, you go here

And you go there

OK. While Jayden's doing that,

we need an action plan.

Piston and I can nail the pieces together.

Then we'll lift the ramps up.

And Violet and I can bolt 'em in place!

Wham, bam, perfect plan!

-If it works.

-Solved it.

[beeping]

That's it!

Don't worry, Axl! We'll get you down!

-[rumbling]

-[gasps]

All right. Let's roll, Firebuds!

-[creaking]

-I think it's falling!

Axl, it'll be quicker

if you bolt the other side!

[engine revving]

Aw, I'm so glad you're OK!

Me, too!

[siren whoops]

[sighs]

Bo? You OK, buddy?

[sniffling] Yeah.

Bo, we can still fix it.

How?

The same way you all rescued me.

By working together.

The way we should have

done it to begin with.

Really?

I'm ready to design

a new plan when you are.

Just say the word.

Oh, I can do more than say it.

We can build our clubhouse in a tree ♪

Well, now. That is some treehouse!

[chuckles] Who came up with the design?

We all did!

You were right, Dad.

Buildings really do

give people and vehicles

a place to come together!

All right, Bo.

Let's do this one more time!

Bum-ba-bum-ba-bum! ♪

Huddle up, Firebuds!

[Piston]

"The Getaway Car That Got Away."

[Jayden] Here we are, Firebuds.

The Motopolis Police Department!

Or, as we like to call it,

where Mom and Dad work!

[siren whoops]

-[Bo] Hi, Officer Ethel!

-Hiya, kids!

What brings ya to

the M.P.D. this fine day?

We're here to see the Deputy

Chief of Community Support,

Jenna Jones. Also known as "Mom."

And her partner,

Officer Pops I mean, Pete.

Hmm They were hosting

a community outreach event at the park.

I'll radio 'em and see

if they're on their way back.

Feel free to play with anything

in the Lost and Found

while ya wait.

As long as ya put it back after.

Come in, Deputy Chief Jones, over.

Ooh, we can play Bounce Bag!

-Yeah, let's bounce!

-Awesome sauce!

OK, everyone, spread out!

Jayden, come look at this.

Wow!

Hold up. Is that my mom and your dad

getting medals from the mayor?

Yup! [sighs]

When we're older, I hope we can

help people like they do.

And I hope we can play

Bounce Bag before we get old.

What? Sure. I'm ready when you are.

Hoods up! [grunts]

[all grunting]

Whoa!

Uh sorry! I'll get it!

-[siren whooping]

-[gasps]

-Mom!

-Hey, Jay-Jay.

Sorry we're late, honey, but Louis Lam

and his getaway car Throttle

robbed a toy store

right next to our event.

Yeah, good thing we were there to nab 'em.

[scoffs] Some getaway car

you turned out to be.

Wha?! You were the one

who picked a toy store

next to a police meet-and-greet.

Here you go, Ethel.

All right, you two.

Let's get your wheel and fingerprints.

[gasps] Whoa! Is that the new

Speed Demon 9000 remote control car?!

-You bet it is!

-Aw, man,

I'd love to play with that!

And get your grubby little

fingerprints all over it?

No way. Ya gotta keep the package perfect

so ya can sell it for top dollar. Yeesh.

Don't you kids know anything?

Hey!

Hey, Piston. Everything OK there, son?

Oh! Yeah, affirmative, dad.

I almost got it

Now you just hang tight

while I get your pal's prints.

[whirring]

What are you doin' that for?

It helps us keep track

of everyone we bring in.

No two finger or wheelprints are alike.

Now it's Throttle's turn.

[machine whirring]

Cool star pattern. I had

bedsheets like that once.

Keep your hands away

from the rims, junior.

I just got 'em polished!

Got it!

Hey!

Thanks for letting me out, kid!

No!

Ha-ha!

Sorry, Lam, gotta scram!

Hey!

Come on, Jenna!

I'll call for backup!

Sorry, kids. Lunch'll have to wait.

This is a disaster!

I just let the getaway car get away!

Don't sweat it, Piston.

I'm sure our parents will find Throttle

[Jenna]

We can't find Throttle!

All patrols, be on the lookout!

[sighs]

I know how we can

make it up to your parents.

We catch that getaway car ourselves!

-Now, you're talkin'!

-Aw, yeah!

Impossible. If the grown-ups

couldn't catch him,

how can we? We're just kids.

Well, kids can do great things, too.

You said yourself that you wanted

to be like your parents someday.

Yeah. Someday. But not today.

Besides, Throttle could be

anywhere by now.

There's no way we could find him.

Hey! I think I know how to find him.

We can track Throttle using

the remote control car he stole.

The car sends out a special signal

to its remote controller.

And I can follow that signal with this.

[beeping]

That's where Throttle is right now.

But how do we know that's really him?

We chase him down, that's how.

What?! How did those kids find me?!

All right, time to kick this up a gear.

[brakes squealing]

Where'd he go?

-The signal's gone.

-How?!

I don't know. Something

must be blocking it.

[sighs] I knew we couldn't do it.

Hey, I know those tire tracks.

It's got stars like my bedsheets.

These are Throttle's tracks!

And they lead right into that building!

He musta gone inside, and the walls

are blocking the signal.

What is this place?

[Throttle] A model-boat factory? Ha-ha!

I hit the jackpot! Look at all these toys!

And they even come

with their own bottle of glue

for easy assembly. Boo-ya!

It's him!

I say we radio our parents

and let the grown-ups take it from here.

OK. Mom, this is Jayden. Come in, Mom.

[Jenna] Jayden, what are

you doing on a police radio?

We found the getaway car.

[Jenna]

You did (echoing) what?!

[beep]

He's in the model boat

warehouse on Grille Street.

[Pete] Just sit tight, kids.

We'll be there in five minutes.

Five minutes! Ha! Ah!

I'll be long gone in five minutes.

It's not like a bunch of kids can stop me.

Oh, yeah? Firebuds, seal the exits!

-[alarm sounding]

-Exit sealed!

Eh!

[alarm sounds]

[alarm sounds]

This is the last exit!

[alarm sounds]

It's- It's jammed!

Why does it have to be jammed?!

Uh Oh!

If we line up, we can block the doorway.

Quick!

Aw, look at you all blocking the exit.

It's so adorable and pointless.

[tires squeal, engine revs]

-What is this?

-Whoa!

-I can't move!

-Ugh!

He glued our wheels to the floor!

Hey, we may be stuck.

But at least we're stuck

blocking the door.

So you can't leave, either!

Unless I build a ramp and jump over ya.

Didn't think of that, kids, did ya?

No, I I really didn't.

I can't believe we thought

we could actually

catch him ourselves.

Throttle's right. We're just kids.

Sure, butlook at all the stuff we did

because we're just kids.

Jayden, you tracked a toy car.

Total kid idea.

Most adults can't even

put the batteries in those things!

[chuckles] That was pretty cool.

Violet, you noticed the star pattern

in Throttle's tracks,

'cause they reminded you

of your bedsheets.

Awesome kid move!

That's my vroomie.

We can still stop Throttle if we try.

Kid stuff may have gotten us this far,

but I fail to see how it will help us now.

It won't! Listen to the little kiddie car.

This isn't a game.

Exactly. It's not a

-game.

-[siren whoops]

But maybe it could be a game!

-[grunts "I don't know"]

-Uh

What are ya talkin' about, P?

You've got to trust your vroommate, J.

Come on, Throttle!

What are ya waitin' for?

Leap over us!

All right, you asked for it!

What's Piston doing?

I think he's got a plan.

[tires squealing]

[exclaiming]

[slow-motion] Yeah!

Ha-ha! Well, it's been fun, kids.

-See ya never.

-[Piston] But Throttle

You don't wanna leave without this, do ya?

Hey! That's my Speed Demon 9000!

Well, then, come and get it.

Hey, Buds, how about a game of keep-away?

Argh, come on! [grunts]

-Hey! No fair!

-[grunts]

-[grunting]

-Let's play!

Stop! That package

is in perfect condition!

-You'll scuff it!

-[grunts]

[engine revs]

Gimme that!

-Ha-ha!

-[engine revs]

[grunting] What?!

Oh, lug nuts!

Now you're stuck, too.

I guess catching you

-was a game, after all.

-You said it, Piston!

-Nice!

-[imitates drums] We got him!

Great plan, Piston!

Case closed.

Ha! Uh, so

How do we get unstuck?

That's a good question.

Well, any place with this much glue

has got to have glue remover.

-[siren blaring]

-Mom!

-Dad!

-[sighs] You're OK!

You all right, there? Where's Throttle?

Right here.

[groans]

You caught him?

Thanks to Piston's genius plan.

Wait. You hatched the plan, Piston?

Kids can do more than you think, Dad.

Well, you don't have to tell me that.

I see you prove it every day.

I'm proud of ya, son.

So is someone gonna unstick me, or what?

Hold on, Jayden. First things first.

We've got to get a picture of the heroes

who tracked down the stolen toys

and saved the day!
