PISTON:

"Piston's Driving School".

(car engine revving)

What a sweet day for a drive.

Sun shining, birds chirping

Loose rocks falling.

-Huh?

-Huh?

That's what that sign means.

So we all better

look out!

(tire screeching)

AXL: Yikes.

That sign wasn't kidding.

Firebuds, we gotta do something

in case more rocks fall.

So no one gets smushed.

I got just the gadget

for the job.

I call it the J-Net.

(upbeat music playing)

-J-wow.

-Awesome-sauce.

Thanks, Jayden.

Now, let's clear the road

and string up

some more J-Nets.

Wham, bam, perfect plan.

(grunting)

These are heavier

than they look.

We'll help ya, Flash.

-(chuckles)

-(indistinct)

And we'll secure

the cliffside.

Shh.

I sense unsafe driving.

-What, where?

-(car engine revving)

-Whoo!

-(giggles)

I don't know

how you do it, P.

(gasps)

(cheers)

Stop! Danger!

(giggles)

(tires screeching)

-Gotcha!

-Hiya, Piston.

That was fun!

Let's do it again!

Are you kidding?

You almost crashed.

What are y'all doing up here?

We're driving

with our vroom-mates

for the first time ever.

And it's amazing!

Thanks.

I was getting a little dizzy

from going so fast.

-Me too.

-Same-sies.

PISTON: Zip, Bang and Pow.

Your first time driving

with your vroom-mates

and you brought them up here?

-Uh-huh!

-Why wouldn't we?

Because this road is twisty

and turny and dangerous.

Didn't you see the signs?

Oh, are there cute snails

and snakes ahead?

Or clouds and rivers!

No, it means look out for

meatballs on Spaghetti Road!

(amazed)

No. That sign means look out

for falling rocks.

This is Hatchback Hill

Highway.

Little wee-hicles

shouldn't be up here

unless they know

how to drive the proper way.

But we know

all about driving.

We've been doing it

our whole lives.

Sure, but now you need to know

how to drive safely,

because you have

your vroom-mates with you.

And since safety

is my specialty,

I will teach you.

Welcome to Piston's

Driving School.

That's a great idea.

And while you're teaching 'em,

we'll look after Hudson,

Holly and Heather.

-Thank you.

-You all can watch us

clear the rest of the rocks

and secure the nets.

From a safe distance,

of course.

So if we take your lessons,

then we can drive on

Spaghetti Road?

Absolutely.

(cheers and laughter)

Hey P.

I'm happy to be

your assistant teacher

if you need help

wrangling these kids.

Thanks,

but a safety-expert like me

can handle a few little

wee-hicles.

Wee!

I got it under control.

Okay, students.

Time for class!

(upbeat music playing)

Welcome to Piston's

Driving School,

where you'll learn

everything you need to know

about driving safely.

Any questions

before we begin?

Do butterflies eat butter?

No. Okay then,

we're going to start

with a little safety video

I made last summer.

Watch and learn.

Oh, hi there. I was so busy

watching the road,

I didn't see you.

Let's learn about safety!

Excuse me, sir?

The light ahead is yellow,

which means you should

slow down.

(engine revving)

Oh, my that was a close one.

It's a good thing you were here

to teach me about yellow lights.

Can you give me

more safe driving tips?

Oh, I can and I will.

Because

-you can never be too safe.

-BANG: You can't catch us.

-Yes, I can.

-Oh, hi butterfly.

(laughter)

-(car engine revving)

-(thumping)

-Uh-oh.

-Bye, butterfly.

What are you doing?

You're supposed to be

watching the video.

-We were.

-Then, we finished watching.

And now we're ready to drive

on Spaghetti Road.

ALL: Spaghetti! Spaghetti!

Spaghetti!

JAYDEN: Hey, Piston.

It's Jayden checking in.

Those wee-hicles seemed

pretty wild.

Are you sure

you don't need any help?

Thanks, Jayden,

but a Master of Safety

like myself

doesn't need any help

when it comes

to matters of safety.

-All right, if you say so.

-Whoa!

You know what.

I can see you three

need to learn by doing.

So let's get your wheels

on the road.

(cheers)

BANG: This isn't a road.

Well, you're not ready

for a real road.

Or real vroom-mates.

Which is why we'll pretend

these stuffies

are your vroom-mates.

(cheers)

Now, we're going to take

a little drive.

But you must keep

your vroom-mates

safe at all times.

-POW: Go long!

-(laughter)

Zip, Pow!

Does throwing your vroom-mates

seem safe to you?

(gasps)

Oh, great gaskets.

Bang, not you too

Zip, Pow, put that down!

(upbeat music playing)

Okay. Let's practice backing up.

It's important to go slowly

and in a straight line.

Like this.

Now, you try.

(car engine revving)

(laughter)

I see you're not ready

for backing up.

The goal of this lesson

is to drive safely

around these cones

without letting

your vroom-mates fall out.

-Got it?

-(cheers)

Look at our vroom-mates'

cool new hats!

This isn't helpful.

We just want to drive

on Spaghetti Road.

But you're never

going to be able to

if you keep fooling around.

How 'bout this.

I'll do the next lesson

on a real street

if you promise

to pay attention this time.

-(car engine revving)

-You got it.

-Okay.

-It's a deal.

(upbeat music playing)

We are so good

at real street driving.

(gasps)

Wait, the light turned red.

Stop!

(tires screeching)

(gasps)

And there go

your vroom-mates again.

Don't you remember

what "red" means?

-Roses?

-Strawberries?

-Red butterflies?

-Stop.

It means stop.

-Oh, right.

-We knew that.

And "green" means?

(ducklings quacking)

Oh, duckies!

Hi, ducks!

Do you remember

what green means?

(groans) Y'know what,

I think we could all

use a lunch break.

Hey vroomies!

We're almost ready to drive

on Spaghetti Road.

What? No you're not.

At this rate,

you may never be ready.

(sighs)

I'll go get us

some booster shakes.

I think we're totally ready

to drive on Spaghetti Road

right now.

-Me, too.

-Then, let's do it.

Are you sure

that's a good idea?

No.

It's the best idea.

(slow music playing)

Hey, Piston.

How's driving school going?

It would be going better

if they paid attention.

Oh, sounds like you could

really use some help.

(gulps)

I'm here for ya if you need me.

Thanks, but I can handle it.

I mean, I'm not some

little wee-hicle

You okay, Piston?

Never been better.

Gotta go now.

(car engine revving)

Where did they run off to?

(gasps)

Oh, no they didn't

(upbeat music playing)

Wee!

We're so good at driving now.

Yeah!

(rocks falling)

Hey! Slow down!

(laughter)

(car engine revving)

(tense music playing)

Look out!

(tense music playing)

Oh, my hoodness,

are you all right?

We're okay,

except for the rocks.

They're all around us.

Can you get us out?

Please.

Don't you worry.

I'll just move a few

of these rocks.

(grunting)

or not

Sorry, we didn't pay attention

to your safety lessons.

We thought we knew everything

about driving.

But, I guess we needed help

after all.

Well, if you had watched

my whole video,

you would have seen

that one of the most

important safety rules

is knowing when to ask for help.

Oh.

Come in, Firebuds.

It's Piston

and I could really

use your help.

(siren wailing)

Thanks for coming.

(grunts) Of course.

Those are some big rocks,

but I think

we can still rescue 'em,

if we all help out.

Then, let's roll, Firebuds.

(upbeat music playing)

SINGER: Hit the sirens

turn on the lights ♪

(indistinct)

we're gonna make it right ♪

We're gearing up,

we're in the groove ♪

Our rescue crew

is on the move ♪

SINGERS:

Our rescue is on the move ♪

Our crew is on the move ♪

Our rescue is on the move ♪

Firebuds on the move ♪

-Yeah!

-You're the best.

Thank you, Piston.

I'm just glad you're all okay.

And thank you, Buds.

You were right.

I needed your help before.

Those little wee-hicles

were way too much to deal

with on my own.

Don't sweat it, P.

That's what Firebuds are for.

Piston, could you teach us

how to drive safely back home?

-Yes.

-Please.

Please, show them.

I thought you'd never ask.

Like seriously, never.

But I could use a little help,

if you still want to be

an Assistant Teacher, Jayden.

Sure thing, man.

We'll all help.

As soon as we finish clearing

these rocks off the road.

Time to slow down.

I have good news, class.

You just learned

your final lesson

and successfully completed

Firebuds Driving School.

Congratulations!

-What?

-We did it!

-Yes!

-Phew!

So now you are free to drive

with your vroom-mates

on your own.

As soon as the light

turns green.

Thanks, Firebuds!

(sniffles)

They grow up so fast.

(car wipers screeching)

They sure do, P.

-They sure do.

-(car engine revving)

JAZZY: "Jazzyland".

BO: Hey Piston,

we're headed to the Fire Tower.

You and Jayden wanna come?

Where is Jayden?

JAYDEN: Hoods up, Firebuds!

I was just upgrading

our Rescue Cam.

Now we can see folks in trouble

all over the neighborhood.

Man, Jayden.

Fixing gadgets,

zipping around on cables

You're like, good at everything.

Whatcha gonna do next?

I'm gonna have the greatest

brother-sister day

of all time with Jazzy.

JAZZY:

That's Queen Jazzy to you.

And Princess Piper.

Are you and Piston ready

to go to Jazzyland?

-Huh?

-What's Jazzyland?

It's a magical place

that can only be found

with a magical map

hidden at the bottom

of this steep mountain

in that deep, dark lake.

What are they talking about?

That's a kiddie pool.

(water spatters)

The map is ours, my Queen!

And so is the Dragon Stone.

That looks more like a marble.

That's 'cause it is a marble.

What's the Dragon Stone do?

Is it powerful?

Oh, yeah.

The dragon

who protects Jazzyland

has been captured.

And the only way to free her

is by crossing Jazzyland

and returning this Dragon Stone

to Dragon Castle.

And that is our mission

for today,

my dear brothers.

Oh, I get it now.

We're goin' on

a pretend adventure.

Sounds fun! Can we come too?

-And us?

-Yeah!

I love pretending!

Queen Jazzy will allow

the newcomers

to join the mission.

If it's okay with you, Jayden.

I'm down with that.

I'll show everyone

how adventuring is done.

It is decided, then.

But first, you must all tell me

who you are.

What are you talkin' about?

We already know who we are.

Oh! I wanna be a knight!

I'll be your trusty horse,

Sir Bo.

(orchestral music playing)

(neighs)

I'll be a sorceress.

I'm a car-nicorn!

I guess I could be

a car-nicorn, too.

And who're you going to be?

Uh, Jayden?

Oh, come on,

you can do better than that.

-Super-Jayden?

-Good enough.

Now everyone follow me

to Jazzyland!

Halt, heroes.

To get to Jazzyland.

We must cross this dangerous,

ragging river.

Hmm. No sweat.

Check this out, sis!

Oh no, poor Super Jayden

has been frozen!

-What?

-It's a magical ice cream river!

Ice cream river?

And it's strawberry.

Ooh.

That's the freeziest.

Jayden, how're you gonna

unfreeze yourself?

Uh I don't know.

Do not fear for I, Sir Bo,

will use my hot fudge cloak

to un-freeze you.

Thanks I guess.

He's saved!

Well done, Sir Bo.

But we still need

to cross the river.

I know. I'll use

my car-nicorn powers

to turn myself and the horses

into chocolate chip ships.

Cool, but oh no!

How will you get past

the fearsome candy-corn-ducks?

-(ducks quacking)

-I know!

We can fight them off

with our marshmallow cannons!

Yes, prepare the marshmallow

cannons!

Yes, my queen.

Queen Jazzy will lead the way!

I don't get it, P.

Are we supposed

to just make stuff up?

It sure looks that way.

Now, you better hop

on your chocolate chip ship

before she freezes you again.

Whoa!

We have arrived in Jazzyland.

But the Fire Giants

have blocked our path.

How will we ever get past them?!

I gotta step it up, P.

I'll tie up those giants

using my trusty J-Hook.

(upbeat music playing)

Got 'em!

Jayden saved us!

(gasps) But then he touched

the Fire Giant

and got turned to stone.

Wait, how was I supposed to know

they turned you to stone?

Don't panic, Super-Jayden.

I've got just the thing

to undo the spell.

Voila.

Your thermometer?

My sorcerer's wand!

Magic spirits

gather near

to make the stone spell

disappear.

Huzzah!

Violet the Sorceress

saved Super-Jayden!

But the Fire Giants

are even angrier now.

What do we do?

What if I play this magic flute

to make the giant fall to sleep

so we can sneak past him?

Great idea, Sir Bo.

(neighs)

(triumphant music playing)

(mimics flute)

Hold up, there was a magic flute

just lyin' on the ground

lookin' like a stick?

In Jazzyland,

there's magic everywhere.

You just have to pretend

to see what you want

and poof, it appears.

Piper, let's show Jayden

how Jazzyland works!

In Jazzyland

you make stuff up ♪

Then, your friends

all play along ♪

If someone says

this stick's a flute ♪

You say

"Hey, I hear its song!" ♪

(gasp) Panda-puppies!

What do we do, Super-Jayden?

Well, animals like to eat.

We could give them some food

and slip by.

Great!

What do panda-puppies eat?

How would I know?

I'm used to solving

real problems

in the real world.

Not pretend problems.

Well, we can pretend

that panda-puppies

love bamboo-donuts.

Oh, I can pretend

that my emergency sandwiches

are bamboo-donuts.

That's how you do it

in Jazzyland!

It's Jazzyland ♪

'Cause Jazzyland ♪

Jazzyland! ♪

All we have to do

is cross the hot lava

of Volcano Valley

to get to the Dragon Castle.

Any ideas, Super-Jayden?

You're good at everything,

Super-Jayden,

I know you got this.

Okay. Um

How about I use

my flame-retardant spray

no waitI mean my magical,

pretend lava-freezing spray.

That is so Jazzyland.

(mimics freezing sound)

It's freezing, right?

Yes!

But the volcano

just erupted more lava.

There's too much to freeze.

Say what?

-What do we do now?

-I don't know.

They keep making up

more pretend problems.

What are we supposed to do?

Make up more

pretend solutions, I guess.

Great gaskets!

I just discovered

that I am actually

a fairy wizard car-nicorn.

So now I will conjure

a bubble gum bridge

over the lava!

Genius!

Oh, yeah!

I think I'm getting the hang

of this pretending thing.

(upbeat music playing)

At last!

We've arrived

at the Dragon Castle.

But we started

at the treehouse.

No, we started

in the Mossy Mountains

and now we are at

the Dragon Castle.

To free the Dragon

trapped inside,

we must bring the Dragon Stone

to the top of the tallest tower.

Let's get this over with.

What're you doing,

Super-Jayden?

Using my magic J-Hook

to lift us up to the roof

so we can finish

this pretend mission

and be done with this game.

But my dad said

vehicles are too heavy

to go on the roof.

(upbeat music playing)

Hey!

There, mission complete,

dragon free, the end.

It's not supposed to be

that easy.

Look, I don't know

how I'm supposed to play a game

where you make up everything

and the rules keep changing

and you never know

what's gonna happen next

(cracking sound)

-(yelps)

-Gotcha!

-(gasps)

-The roof broke.

How are they going

to get down now?

(grunts)

Oh, Jazzy, I'm sorry

I got us stuck up here.

It's just I'm really bad

at playing pretend.

You can say that again.

Piper!

I wanted it today

to be the best

brother-sister play date ever.

Sorry, I let you down.

You didn't let me down.

I didn't?

I know you're good

at lot of things.

But nobody's good at everything.

So what if you're not good

at pretending?

I'm just happy

to spend time with you.

Super Jayden.

BO: Don't worry!

I can inflate the J-Catch

and you can jump to safety!

That's his J-Merang.

(gasps)

J-Shark Repellant.

J-Duckie. For bath time.

Found it.

Why isn't it working?

It must be jammed!

We have to find another way

off the roof.

Well, now that we freed

the dragon,

maybe she'll save us

from the tower.

What are you talking about?

She's right there.

Don't you see her?

Oh, I think I see her face.

With the pointy ears.

That's her.

You know, if Piper

I mean, Princess Piper,

reaches and grabs

onto the Dragon's, uh, claw

we can slide off her wing

onto the ramp.

Queen Jazzy

approves of this plan.

Hop on, Super-Jayden.

Get ready to leap off the wing!

-Huzzah!

-We made it!

That was incredible.

Yeah, but we couldn't've done it

without the dragon's help.

What's that, Miss Dragon?

You want to reward us

for saving you with very real,

not-pretend snacks?

We can't argue

with the Dragon of Jazzyland.

(giggles)

Thanks for a fun play date.

You're the best,

Super-Jayden.

(theme music playing)
