[Violet] "Care-A-Van Club".

And this box of groceries goes

to Mrs. Liang.

Bo and Flash, you deliver that one

since you're also delivering

to her neighbor, Mr. Shipp.

On it!

-Whoops!

-Axl!

Says here Mrs. Liang loves apples,

so take special care with 'em okay?

Okay!

Wow, Violet, way to take charge.

Well, getting groceries to folks

who can't make it to the store

on their own is important.

That's why I started the Care-A-Van Club.

And caring for others who need help

is what being a rescuer is all about.

All right, this last box

is for Manny Kablamee.

The Manny Kablamee?

No way!

Yep, Manny lives right here

in Gearbox Grove.

Uh who's Manny Kablamee?

Only the greatest, bravest

motorcycle-riding daredevil ever!

Don't forget his revvin'

vroom-mate Captain Kapow!

They perform the wildest stunts

the world has ever seen.

Flash, can you show us

a Manny stunt on your screen?

-I sure can. Gather round, Buds.

-[beeping]

[crowd cheering]

Are they gonna try to

jump over fourteen buses?

Nope. Fifteen.

It's too unsafe to watch.

♪♪

[all] Wow! Cool! Aw, yeah!

How many bones did he break?

Manny Kablamee doesn't get hurt.

And even if he did,

he wouldn't let it slow him down.

As he always says

[Violet and Manny] Rev it up and go go go!

[laughs]

Speaking of go go going,

shouldn't you kids be, uh

Delivering! Yes!

-Everyone know where they're going?

-Uh-huh!

Oh. We'll take this one

to Manny Kablamee ourselves.

♪♪

Let's roll, Care-A-Van Club!

Wow, I can't believe Manny Kablamee

and Captain Kapow live right here.

Look, it's their old Jump Ramp.

It looks even taller in person.

What're we waiting for?

Let's go deliver their groceries.

[grunts] I can't fit.

I can't fit. Guess they only

needed a motorcycle-sized gate.

Don't worry, vroomie,

I'll let Captain Kapow

know his biggest fan

is waiting outside to meet him.

[squeals]

[vrooming sound]

Care-a-Van Club with some

gro-gro-groceries for Mr. Kablamee!

[clattering]

Mr . Kablamee? Is that you?

Whoa. Look at all those

Kablamee Kollectibles

-[yowls]

-Ah! The groceries!

Oof!

[grunts] I got 'em.

But are you okay?

Uh, sure. I'm ready to go go Ow!

Let's deliver the next Ow! Box. [groans]

And come back later. Ah!

Violet, you're hurt.

I'm taking you to the hospital

to get checked out.

Firebuds, Axl here. We need backup.

Axl, no. We've got deliveries.

-[engine revs]

-What's up?

Violet tripped and fell.

Can you deliver our groceries

while we go get her ankle looked at?

-Sure.

-Affirmative.

We can take it from here, Violet.

All right, but I'm sure it's nothing.

[Violet] I sprained my ankle?

Yes, but the doctor said

if you stay off it for a few days,

you'll be fine!

But, Mom, my deliveries!

I can't just lie around.

If you don't rest your ankle now, cariño,

you could hurt it even more.

But I'm in charge

of the Care-A-Van Club, Mom.

How will the Firebuds ever get

all those groceries

delivered without me?

Here, Mrs. Liang. Enjoy your apples!

Feel better soon, Mr. Shipp!

[quacking]

[Violet] Bo, come in. it's Violet.

Are you having any trouble

making deliveries?

Don't worry, Violet.

The Care-A-Van Club

is taking care of business.

Oh. Well, I'm here if you need me.

[grunts]

Violet, this is not

staying off your ankle.

This is staying off your ankle!

Now how about a nice restful activity?

Ugh! Coloring?

Manny Kablamee would never

stay in bed coloring.

He would rev it up and go go go!

Well, you need to heal heal heal.

[Bo] Violet! Emergency!

Bo? What is it?

[over static] can't find

Kablamee's box!

[gasps] I must have put it in here

before I took you to the hospital.

Bo, we have the box.

[over static] Great come get it.

I can't hear you, you're breaking up.

But don't worry. We're on our way.

-What'd she say?

-No idea.

[sighs]

I gotta improve the range on these radios.

Well, we better get over there

and pick up the box.

No, no!

You promised to stay off your ankle.

I won't be on my ankle

if I'm riding on you.

-But

-Axl, it's up to us.

If we don't act now,

the world's bravest daredevil team

will never get their

oatmeal and low-salt brake fluid?

All right. But you have to stay

up there. No walking around.

♪♪

Ugh, I forgot

I don't fit through the gate.

Axl. A couple steps aren't

gonna do me any harm.

-But

-[grunts]

Mr. Kablamee

-Ugh!

-Violet!

♪♪

[stammers]

You all right, Sunshine?

Whoo! A fall like that

could wipe ya right out.

[laughs] Me, hurt? I'm

Ow!

-[yowls]

-Dynamo!

I'll get him!

♪♪

[groans]

Uh-oh!

Time to rev it up and go go go.

Violet, stop. You're going

to get even more hurt.

But we have to save Dynamo.

Dynamo, you skitty kitty!

Come on down now!

I hope she doesn't fall.

Axl, if you lift me up,

I can grab that pole and fetch Dynamo.

I won't have to use my foot at all.

We have to hurry, before she falls.

All right, but be careful.

[grunts]

Whoa!

She looks like

a kid-sized-Kablamee up there.

Sunshine, I have done some

far-out stunts in my day,

but you are outta sight!

[sighs] I was so worried,

you know, with her hurt foot and all.

Hold up. She's hurt?

Sunshine, stop right where you are!

Call for help. Now.

Firebuds, Violet needs help

at Mr. Kablamee's house.

♪♪

Manny, she's still going.

You should not be bouncin'

around like that if you're hurt.

I'm fine. Watch this move.

♪♪

Ugh!

[groans]

[Bo] Hold on, Violet.

We'll save you.

We're okay.

I can just slide down the ramp.

-[gasps]

-It's not safe!

There's too many holes.

Okay, Buds, we need a plan

to rescue Violet and that kitty, quick!

My J-Hook could launch a cable up there

that she can slide down.

But Violet's hurt.

So we'll attach Axl's gurney to the cable.

Then Violet can get

in the gurney and slide down safely.

If she listens to us

and doesn't try to do it herself.

Maybe she'll listen to me .

Can I borrow that megaphone, junior?

Okay, time to rev it up and go go go

Oh, no, no, no!

We're that same sort of breed

Both got that need for speed ♪

It's clear to me

You love to zoom around ♪

But here's something that I learned ♪

Where owies are concerned ♪

Before you rev it up again ♪

Ya gotta slow it down

Yeah ♪

If you find you've got an ache ♪

Then it's time to take a break ♪

Why do you think I needed

my groceries delivered?

You got hurt?

Oh, yeah. And this isn't the first time.

I've sprained my shoulder,

banged up my leg, tweaked my back.

But after each injury,

I took care of myself until I healed up.

Oh!

Anytime.

Axl, we better head to the hospital.

I think I made my ankle worse.

I've spent a lot of time in hospitals.

Here's a little something

to keep you comfy.

Your Kablamee Kape?

Really?

Every brave daredevil needs one.

You said it.

[Bo] "Mud About You".

[sighs] Another day of rain.

[sighs] Another day stuck inside.

I'm so bored.

There's nothing to do in here.

Well, I know something we can all do

to lift our spirits

and fill this space with positive energy.

-Watch TV?

-Play Dungeons and Wagons?

House cleaning!

Not that!

Never that.

Oh, come on.

It'll be a fun family activity.

-But Dad's not here.

-Or Mom.

Well, that's 'cause they're out

with the other firefighters

taking the folks whose houses

flooded to a rescue shelter.

Then we should help 'em.

Yeah, Dad, rescuing's our jam!

Well, cleaning is our jam

and we need your help.

-Aw!

-What do we have to do?

I'm going to clean the living room

and Floyd's going to

scrub down the kitchen,

So, you two can dust my therapy office.

And mop up the oil spill

in my architecture studio.

But that's going to take forever.

Yeah, it's too much work.

Well, big jobs turn into little ones

when we all work together.

It's like I always say,

many hands make the load lighter.

And the house cleaner.

I still think

we should be out rescuing people.

I hear ya, Flash.

What up, Firebuds?

It stopped raining,

but there's a lot of flooding.

We're gonna see if anyone needs help.

-Wanna come?

-Yeah!

Hmm.

Mom's office looks clean enough to me.

But we still gotta mop up the oil spill

in my dad's studio.

Uh we just need a minute.

We're gonna need a lot more than a minute.

-That's a huge spill.

-[knocking on window]

-Come on!

-Rescues are waiting!

You know, we could

go out for a little bit.

But my dad told us to clean it.

Oh, we will. Right when we get back.

Oh! Wham bam, perfect plan.

Let's motor.

[engines revving]

Okay, cobwebs! I'm comin' for ya

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[clang]

Wha? Ah!

Floyd, you okay?

Well, I'm not too banged up

but I think I'm stuck in here.

[thudding]

Yup, I'm stuck all right.

I told Flash and Bo

to clean up that oil spill.

[grunts] I can't lift these by myself.

We need more hands.

Bo?! Flash?!

Where are they?

Okay, Jayden. Where are we going?

The city alert website

says there's flooding

out by Treadwell Road.

Then let's head out there

and see if anyone needs help.

Ahh!

Be careful, Axl.

These roads are still wet and slippery.

[Bo] Oh, I see something ahead.

It looks like a food truck

ran off the road.

A food truck?!

A food truck!

Hola, niños!

Thank goodness you are here.

What's wrong, Chefs?

We were on our way to the rescue shelter

to feed the people

who had to leave their homes.

And it was so slippery,

Chef Fernando skidded off the road.

See, I told ya.

Gotta be careful on wet roads.

Yes, well,

Chef Al wanted to get to the shelter

as fast as we could.

When folks are in need,

we must be there to feed.

We are the "food first responders."

And now we're going to be there last.

No! Que desastre!

Don't worry, chefs.

We'll get you back on the road

and on your way.

Let's make a plan, Firebuds.

I say the vehicles lock arms

with Chef Fernando and pull him up.

I don't know if we have enough power.

Speak for yourself, Piston.

You all have plenty of power.

Then let's do it.

Chef Fernando,

give us your hands and we'll tow you up.

Mm-hmm.

[straining]

On three, Firebuds.

-One

-Two

-Three.

-[all strain]

-Come on.

-[grunts]

The slope is too muddy.

He's just getting more stuck.

[sighs] What do we do now?

Maybe we should go get more help.

I'm with Piston.

Aw, come on. We can do this.

Let's give it one more try.

Yeah. Rev up your engines

and tow, tow, tow.

-[engines revving]

-[all strain]

[straining]

He's moving, keep pulling!

Whoa! The road's too wet.

-I'm slipping.

-Me, too!

[whimpering]

He's pulling us down with him!

We have to let go!

Whooooaaa!

[quacking]

Well, at least he's not stuck

in the mud anymore.

I don't think the pond is much better.

Ay, no! How are we going to

get to the shelter now?

Yeah, uh, maybe we do need

a little more help.

Or a lot more.

Let's go back to the house and get my dad.

He's big enough to pull 'em out.

We'll be right back, chefs!

[quacking]

Ooh, maybe the broom

can lift the poles off.

[straining]

[chuckles] Stop! That tickles!

-[laughs]

-Whoa!

Beth, you all right back there?

[chuckles] Peachy keen.

I just need to take a few deep breaths

to calm down,

find my inner peace and try again.

[deep breaths]

[Flash] Dad!

We need your help Whoa!

What happened here?

I'll tell you what happened.

You and Flash didn't mop up

the oil spill like we asked

and now Flash's dad

is trapped in the supply room.

-Yeah we're just gonna

-Good luck.

-Whoa!

-I'm really disappointed in you two.

[Floyd] We both are.

We just wanted to see

if anyone needed help.

And we were gonna clean up

the spill right when we got back.

Were you? Or were you hoping Floyd

and I would do it while you were gone?

Wait, was than an option?

No, but that's what usually happens

when you don't do your work.

Since we all live in this house,

we all have to pitch in to keep it clean.

And when you don't do your part,

it's more work for the rest of us.

I've been trying to get Floyd

out of there for over an hour.

Imagine how he must feel.

[Floyd] Hey, I think I found my lucky pen.

Imagine how he felt

before he found his lucky pen.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm so, so sorry, Auntie Beth.

But we'll make it up to you.

We'll help rescue Uncle Floyd.

Right, Firebuds?

-On it.

-Let's do it.

Happy to help.

I'll even help

with the cleaning if you like.

Well then, let's roll, Firebuds!

♪♪

[strains]

[grunts]

I also found your Himalayan Salt Lamp.

Oh, I've been looking everywhere for that.

-Are you okay?

-Fit as a fender.

We shouldn't have left before

finishing our share of the work.

We won't do it again.

I should hope not.

It's no fun being stuck.

[gasps] "Stuck"?

Oh, I forgot Chef Al and Chef Fernando

are still stuck in that pond.

Niños?

[gasps]

Pond? What pond?

Out by Treadwell Road.

We came back to get your help.

Well, we better get out there

and get them unstuck.

We tried. But there's just too much mud.

We'll need a new plan to get them out.

And I think I've got one.

But it'll take a bunch of these pipes

and everyone's help.

I'll go get my boots.

It's done.

The J-Ramp will keep Chef Fernando's tires

from sinking in the mud

as we pull him out.

And my trusty wheel blocks

will keep us from slipping.

Okay. Let's get this rescue started.

♪♪

All right, Chef Fernando.

We need you to join hands again.

You got it.

Now everyone together pull!

[engines revving]

[grunts]

Look at that, Fernando.

Your wheels aren't sinking.

[strains, grunts]

I'm free!

-Awesome-sauce!

-Aw yeah!

Thank you, Firebuds.

Señora Beth, Señor Floyd,

your children are so kind and clever.

[gasps] We'll have to name

a few side dishes after them

to go with the Flash Fresca!

[gasps] The food.

There must be hundreds of people

at the shelter waiting to eat.

Whoa, that's a lot of mouths to feed.

Do you need help serving everyone?

We can always use more help.

Many hands make the load lighter.

Hey, that's what my dad always says.

Who do you think I learned it from?

Then let's roll Oh!

Mom. Can we go?

On two conditions.

One. You finish cleaning

the house after you get back.

[both] And?

And we're coming with you.

-Yeah!

-Right!

We can feed all those who need to eat ♪

We can do any plan ♪

When we all lend a hand ♪

'Cause we're stronger than ever ♪

When we all work together ♪

Yes, we're stronger than ever ♪

When we all are working together! ♪

According to my count,

we fed all 348 people and vehicles.

Which means now we can eat.

We have some tasty "Firebuds Flautas"

And some car-purrado
