-Woo! Nice work, girl!

-That flag can use some wind,
Feathers.

- [roars]
- Whoa! Watch it!

-Ugh, these stupid flags are
too small. Webs can't hit 'em.

-Yes, the flag is the problem.

-Whoa! [grunts]
Quit it, you two!

You're gonna get tangled up.

-Wu and Wei
are really takin' this

"capture the flag"
thing seriously.

-Whoa!

- [Tom laughs]
- [Jun grunts, laughs]

D'ANGELO:
Looks like that's all of them.

Man, I knew Buzzsaw
was crazy territorial,

but these flags are next level.

-It wouldn't hurt
to put some sensors

of our own down here
to keep track of him.

Who took out my stuff and filled
my bag with cheesy loops?!

-Oh, oh! Right here! Right here!
C'mon, Gonzo. C'mon. Ah.

-Maybe we can set some sensors
next time we're down here.

Right now, I'd like to
check out the local flora

to see if there's anything I can
use in the dragon hospital.

You wanna help, Tom?

Tom?

Where'd he go?

- Where do you think?
- [distant chatter]

-No, I didn't. [laughs]
It's not, it's not me!

-Oh, hey! Hello!
Earth to Tommy and Junie!

We're bein' a team over here!
Makin' plans and stuff.

Maybe you two
wanna be a part of it?

-[clears throat]
Sorry, guys. We got distracted.

-Yeah. You guys
are distracted a lot lately.

-What's that supposed to mean?

-Nothing.

- O-kay.
- Yeah, we've just, you know,

we-we've known each other
a long time,

so we have a lot to talk about.

-Oh, give us a break.

You're not fooling anybody,
Kullersen.

Just admit
that you like my sister.

-Well, sure, Eugene.
We all like Jun.

[Eugene blows raspberry]

-No. I don't mean just like.

I mean you like-likeher.

-[awkward chuckling]
What?! Real funny, Eugene.

I-I've known Jun, like, forever.
Since we were little kids!

That would be so weird, right,
if, if that were true, you know?

[stammers] Wouldn't, wouldn't
that be, like, super weird?

Like, like-likeJun?

I, uh, s-she's weird... No,
she's not...

That-That's really a stretch.

It's, uh, b-because we're,
we're like,

you know, um...

[stammers] G-Go ahead,
t-t-tell 'em, tell 'em, Jun.

-Right, Tom.

That would never happen

because I'm just super weird.

In fact, since you're so
weirded out by me

and I'm so "yikes" to you,

I'll just leave you alone.

You'd probably prefer that
anyway.

-No, Jun, wait!
That's, that's not what I meant!

-Well, this is awkward.

[imitates plane crashing,
blows raspberry]

-Crash and burn,
Kullersen. [laughs]

What?

[screeches]

-And there he goes again.

Sticking his head right back
into the mouth of the lion.

TOM: Jun, slow down!

Jun!

[growling]

-Looky what we have here.
A house divided.

Ford! Winston!
- Yeah, boss?

-Ready your boulder barfers.

I'm goin' after those two twerps
and the lightning bird.

You two round up the others.
Should be easy pickings.

-You can count on us!

-Not really. But do it anyway.

- Let's go, Jack.
- [roars]

-We got this.

-Uhh... where'd our dragons go?

[Ford sighs]

[melancholy music playing]

[Wu/Wei grumbling]

- TOM: Jun!
- [Jun groans]

[Wu growls]

Hey.

-Hey yourself.

[Wu/Wei growling]

-I just... wanted to see
i-if you were all right.

- Like you care.
- What?

W-Why would you think
that I don't care?

-We can start with "yikes"?

Or could you have possibly
said "weird" more times?

-I-I-I-I didn't mean
that you'reweird.

Just that it would be weird

because we [stammers]
I-I j... I just...

[dragon roars]

-Surprise, kiddos!

are as good as mine!

Amazing!

Not a bad place to be trapped.

[Jun gasps]

-Look.

[screeching]

[roars]

-Guess these are the dragons
that carved this place.

-Aww!
They're like little woodchucks!

-Woodchippers. [chuckles]

-We should find a way out.

I'm sure you don't wanna be
stuck in here with me any longer

than you have to be.

[grumbles]

-I know, I know, pal.
She's tough.

- [grumbles]
- I-I'm workin' on it.

-Those scrawny middle schoolers

think they can hide
from me inside a tree?

Trees are my thing!

I've felled
hundreds of trees before,

or at least paid someone
to do it,

and this tree
will be no different.

- Jack! Start chopping!
- [evil laughter]

- What's happening?
- Buzzsaw.

If he takes down this tree,
he's going to take the entire

Woodchipper colony down with it.

[screeching]

-Uh, Tom?

The tree's not the only thing
we have to worry about.

I'm pretty sure
the Woodchippers have decided

weare the bad guys.

- Any sign of them?
- Nothing.

[distant roars]

And I don't wanna stay up there
too long.

Those giant, hungry sky dragons
are still out there.

-Maybe the person that caused
Tom and Jun to leave

should be doing the searching?

-Look, don't blame me.
I bet they're glad I said it.

They're probably off
holdin' hands

and talkin' about the universe
or somethin'. Blech.

-I don't know, Eugene.

If Tom says it's not like that,

then it's probably
not like that.

-Oh, o-okay, Dr. D.
Uh, just tell me somethin':

Is living in the dark
really peaceful?

-Eh, well, wherever they are,
we should widen our search.

- Ready that sniffer, Plow!
- [grumbles]

What is it, girl?
Are they close?

[roars]

[tense music playing]

WINSTON:
Here, little dragons.

-Uh, that doesn't sound
like Tom and Jun.

- Psp psp psp. Come on out.
- They're not little, Winston.

-It's a term of endearment.

-Yeah,
so is sweetie and lambchop,

but you don't hear me
calling 'em that, hm?

- [roars]
- Surprise!

[both yelling]

-What are you bozos doing?

-We're not tellin' you kids
nothin'.

-Yeah. What he said.

-Then I guess we'll just
have to do this the hard way.

[both panicking]

- [growls]
- Easy, pal.

They're just scared.

[screeching]

[roars]

-Ugh. We wouldn't
even be in this position

if Eugene had just
kept his big mouth shut.

-More like
this wouldn't have happened

if you didn't give a big,
cringy speech

about how unlikable
and weird I am.

-Now you're puttin' words
in my mouth.

-It wasn't just what you said,
it was the way you said it.

-I just said
that we've known each other

since we were little kids,

- so it would be weird...
- See?!

[growls]

-No, no! I-I just... Ugh.

Can we just get out of here
and then discuss this?

-Fine.
If you wanna avoid the issue.

-I don't wanna avoid anything,
except being attacked!

-All right! What's your plan,
Kullersen?

[screeching]

-The exit is blocked,
but these Woodchippers

can chew through the tree.
If we can bond with them...

-Maybe they'll dig us an exit.

Better than watching you
dig your own hole deeper.

♪ ♪

-All right.

- Come on, little Woodchipper.

-[screeches, sniffs]

-[chuckles] There ya go,
there you go.

- [screeches]
- Ah, ah!

Ugh, this isn't working.

[screeching]

-They move in perfect unison.

It's like they're all
of one mind!

-Well, if that's true,

then we have to find out
which mind is controlling them.

-They operate like a colony
of insects,

and a colony usually
has a queen.

-Right.
And if we can bond with her,

maybe she'll convince
these guys to help.

Nice work, Jun!

-Guess it's actually
a good thing I'm around.

-I never said I didn't
like having you around!

-Gimme everything you got
on Buzzsaw, you maggots!

- Where are Tom and Jun?!
- D! I'm doin' a thing here!

-And what's the deal
with the flags?

-Guys! Come on!

I'm playing Good Dragon Rider/
Bad Dragon Rider,

and I'm the Bad Dragon Rider!

You two are gonna talk,
or we feed ya like tater tots

- to our ferocious dragons.
- [both gasp]

[gentle music plays]

[groans]

-Don't worry. You have plenty
of time to think about it.

[grunts, yells]

When Feathers eats,
she starts at the toes

and slowly works her way up
to the head.

- All right, all right!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!

W-We'll tell you everything!

-Ugh.
This place goes on forever!

And is it just me, or do all
these chambers look the same?

-Not this one. Look.

[screeching]

TOM: The Queen.

We found her.

We score points with her,
we're as good as outta here.

JUN: Careful, Tom.

If you mess this up,

you'll be stuck in here
with me forever.

And we both know
you'd hate that.

-You know that's not true.

-Pfft.

-You're one of my best friends.

How could you think that...

[yells, grunts]

What the heck?!
What was that for?!

-I guess you offended her, too.

You're on a roll...
Here, let me try.

- [sniffs]
- Hmm...

She doesn't think
I'm so repulsive.

-Seriously? Okay, I'm sorry
I hurt your feelings,

but I was put on the spot.

- I didn't know what else to say.
- Whatever.

-Whatever? Okay.

What would you have said
if Eugene said that to you?

-That's dumb.

It, it doesn't matter
what I would've said.

Eugene says
dumb things all the time.

It's just... It's dumb.

-Ohh, so hangin' out with me
is dumb?

-No! No, no, no!
That's not what I meant.

You're being stupid.

-Oh, hear that, Thunder?
Now I'm dumb and stupid.

-Stop distracting me!
You wanna get outta here or not?

[roars]

-Um, Jun,

somethin' tells me she changed
her mind about bonding with you.

[screeching]

-You scared her, and now here
comes her whole colony!

-Me?! You were bonding with her!

-Well, clearly, no one
here feels like bonding.

-Clearly! C'mon, pal!

[screeches]

-All right, look, w-we
don't know where he gets 'em,

but he uses botanicals.

-To survive the harsh
Hidden World environments?

-What? No. To smell fresh.

-Ugh,
this is going nowhere fast.

-Wait!

What kind of botanicals?

-The fancy organic kind.
But that's all I know.

- Very interesting.
- [D'Angelo sighs]

- What else?
- [roars]

-Okay, okay!

Buzzsaw's allergic
to synthetic fabrics.

-And he says he's 5'9,
but he's not an inch over 5'7.

-Yeah, we gotta
hunch down around him

just so he don't feel bad.

-And his eyebrows
are not natural.

Somehow, he threads 'em!

-Hmm.

How do they compare
to my eyebrows?

In your opinion.

Now be honest,
but not too honest.

Be gentle.

-That was so strange.

Why couldn't either of us
bond with her?

-I don't know.

-It looked like it
was working when you tried.

-Yeah,
and then you broke my focus.

[sighs]

[grumbles]

Y-You put me on the spot
and I didn't know what to say.

I-I got... anxious.

-That's how I've felt all day.

Every time I try to talk or
explain how I feel, I get all...

- "Weird."

-Y-You don't like that word,
but I get anxious, I guess.

[solemn music playing]

-That's it... We're the problem.

-You think we're a problem?

-Yes! I mean, no, but yes.

Dragons are emotional creatures.

-You think they're
pickin' up on our emotions?

-Yeah.
Every time you and I argued,

the Woodchippers reacted.
So did the Queen.

Animals can be really sensitive
to emotional energies,

sometimes becoming
aggressive when they sense...

-Anxiety!

So, if we wanna bond
with the Queen

and get out of here,
we need to figure out

what's making us so anxious
and resolve it.

-Exactly.

-Uh... [sighs]

-Well?

Go ahead.

-Oh, me? Why do,
why do I have to start?

-Because you started
this whole thing.

-What?! Just because
I don't know how to...

I-I-I mean, if you're so sure

about what the right thing
to say is,

- why don't you say it?
- Because you'resupposed to!

Ugh, never mind.
This is pointless.

-Ugh.

- and ever since,

I've had a deep-seated
fear of abandonment.

-Okay, enough!
This isn't working.

-What are you talkin' about?
They're givin' me everything.

-We don't care about that stuff.

We just need to know
what Buzzsaw is up to.

What's he planning?

- [plays recording]
- FORD [on recording]:
And he says he's 5'9,

but he's not an inch over 5'7.

WINSTON [on recording]:
Yeah, we gotta hunch down

around him just so
he don't feel bad.

- FORD: And his eyebrows
are not natural.
- [stops recording]

-You want me to play this
for Buzzsaw,

so he can sic his giant dragon
on you?

-All right, all right! He's been
setting out those flags

to send a message
and stake his claim.

-He wants this whole
dragon world

entirely under his control.

Like, his own empire
or something.

-H-He went after
those friends of yours.

[Eugene, Alex, D'Angelo gasp]

-Tom and Jun.

-Hey! What are you do...

Ah!

[screeches]

What if she doesn't
feel the same way?

[light music playing]

Hey.

- Hey.
- Um...

Look, I'm really,
I'm really sorry.

All the stuff I said.

I was just nervous because
I don't know how to...

I should've told you
how I felt sooner.

-How you felt?

-How I feel.

Jun, I'm... falling!

-You are?

- Y-You're falling for...
- The tree!

[both grunt, yell]

The tree is falling!

-Nice work, Jack.

Just a few more strikes

and those twerps
will be shouting,

"Timber!"

Then we'll move in on
that lightning bird.

[evil laughter]

-Wu! Wei! Stay close!

-Just hold on, hold on!
We'll get out of here. [grunts]

-How?
The Woodchippers won't help us

and the tree is coming down!

[both grunt]

-I know... It's now or never.

All right, Jun.

I didn't say it before because

I didn't wanna mess up
our friendship,

or, like, you know,
but I like you.

Like, like-likeyou.

I have for a while,

and-and-and-and I love
hangin' out with you.

You're the coolest person
I've ever met,

and if you don't feel
the same way I understand,

and-and that's okay, and I feel
really weird now, so...

-I like you too, Kullersen.

Like-like.

You're crazy and full of really
bad ideas and some good ones,

but it wasn't fair to put
saying it first totally on you.

I was scared too.

And... yeah.
