-We've just received
a news flash.-[gasps]

There's been an accident involvingthe
truck from Goldberg's Pet Store.

[wailing]

Fortunately, no one was hurt,

but some valuable exotic birdshave
disappeared from the accident site.

If you have any information onthese
birds, please contact this station.

[Doc] Sprocket, look.

I found this poor bird on our
doorstep. He was unconscious.

[parrot squawks]
Where am I? Who am I?

He must have amnesia.

Oh, how are we ever gonna
find outwho he belongs to?

[barking]

Sprocket, this is no timeto
listen to the radio, boy.

Sprocket, this is no timeto
listen to the radio, boy.

We've got a lost
bird on our hands.

-[parrot squawks, whistles]-Aw,
there, there. There, there.

[Wembley humming]

-Now, Wembley, let's
go over it again.-Okay.

Gobo, you've made
him do thisa million times.

You can't be too carefulwhen
it's your first solo overnight hike.

That's just it. It's not your
first solo overnight hike.

-It's Wembley's.-Well, bye-bye!

-Ah! Now, one more time.-Okay.

What does a Fraggle
takeon his first overnight hike?

Maps, pickax, change
of shirt and cookies.

-[laughs]-[Gobo]
Yeah, that's right.

Uh, now let's see
youpack them up in your...

Backpack. I already did.

I'm all readyfor my
first solo overnight hike.

Gobo, this is the most exciting
thingthat's ever happened to me. Hoo-hoo!

Watch out, rock, here I come!

[shouts]

And did you remember
to pack your pickax?

Don't wait up! [laughs]
Don't wait up! [laughs]

[Red chuckles]

Aw.

There, there.

[Wembley shouts]

♪ A Fraggle on his ownls
a wondrous sight to see ♪

♪ Especially when the
FraggleHappens to be me ♪

♪ Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo ♪

[laughs] This is so much fun,

and this looks like a perfect
placefor my campsite, right here.

[gasps]

I mean, right here.

Whoa! Uh... [nervous laughter]

No problem.

I won't let a little thinglike a
falling rock ruin a good time.

Whoa! Uh...

I mean, I won't let a little thinglike
two falling rocks ruin a good time.

Uh, oh, oh, this is
no longer a good time!

[groans]

[Wembley groaning]

There, there.

Where, where? [groans]

No, no. No. No.

"There, there" is what you say to
someonewhen they've been moaning like this.

Oh! Oh!

Oh, I... I think it was more like...
Oh, I... I think it was more like...

Ugh! Ugh!

Well, whichever one it was,
that's what you're supposed to say.

Every Mudbunny knows that.

You're... You're a
Mudbunny. [moans]

Very good.

Hey. [grunts]

Are you really the rarest
creaturein the universe?

Well, let me put
it to you this way.

How many times have you
seena Mudbunny in your life?

Uh, once?

Have you seen anything
elseless than once?

Well, I don't think so.

Well, then I'm as rare
as it gets.[chuckles]

-Uh, Mudwell's the
name.-Oh. Wembley Fraggle.

-[groans] Whoa.-Oh,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Easy there, little Fraggle.

You've had a nasty
bump on your head.

Oh, it was... it
was a rockslide.

I know. I dug you out.

Oh.

You saved my life.

Oh, there, there.

There, there. There, there.

[both chuckle]

-Here. Try some of my
special soup.-Oh, thanks.

Well?

[gasps]

-Peach and pepper potage!
My favorite!-Mine too! [chuckles]

I especially like this with...
- Ah. Turnip toast?-Yes!

Say no more. [chuckles]

Oh, Mudwell, you know, this is the
bestbump on the head I've ever had.

Well, I'm glad you're
enjoying yourself,

but remember, you
still gotta take it easy.

Oh, that's okay, because I know how
tohave fun and rest at the same time.

Well, how do you do that?

Oh, well, I play
games in my head.

-Want to try?-Sure.

Okay, okay. Here goes. Um...

Uh, okay, if you founda three-eyed
mind melter under your bed,

what would you do?

Well, uh, I'd fill his shoes with jam,
and then I'd turn his hat inside out.

Well, uh, I'd fill his shoes with jam,
and then I'd turn his hat inside out.

That's right!

[laughs]

-Have you ever played
this before?-Never. I swear.

This is amazing. No one besides
mehas ever been able to play this game.

-Oh. Can I try?-Sure!

Um, if you looked in the mirror,

-and you saw your nose
had disappeared...-Uh-huh.

-what would you
do?-Oh, oh, oh. Oh.

I'd knit a blue sweaterfor
the first pumpkin I saw.

-Perfect!-Yes!

[both laughing]

You know, I don't knowwhen
I've had so much fun.

-Oh, you can say
that again.-Okay.

You know, I don't knowwhen
I've had so much fun.

[both laughing]

-You can say it
again!-Okay. You know...

[moaning softly]

[groans]

Nothing like laughing yourself
to sleep, is there, Mudwell?

Mudwell?

Oh.

Well, he's probably out pickingthe
ingredients for another great soup.

[chuckles] [chuckles]

[sighs]

♪ Feel the water flowing ♪

[whistling]

[Mudwell] You still here?

You can say that again! [laughs]

I would've thoughtyou'd
been gone hours ago.

-[chuckles]-Here,
take your things and go.

-But, Mudwell...
You heard me, go!

I don't understand.

There's nothing to understand.

But we were having so much fun.

Look, let me make
this simple for ya,

since you seem to be
havingsuch a hard time:

Leave!

Never darken my mudpuddle again.

[Sprocket barks]

[parrot] Good doggy.

[jazz music playing on radio]

[Sprocket humming]

[parrot] Huh? Oh.

Very good doggy.

[man on radio] We interruptthe
musical portion of our program

to report that there is no
wordon the one bird still missing

to report that there is no
wordon the one bird still missing

after yesterday's mishap
involvingthe pet store truck.

Well, Sprocket, how is
our patientdoing today?

-[parrot] What's
up, Doc?-[laughs]

Well, you're
sounding a lot better.

Sprockie must be
takingvery good care of you.

[parrot] Good doggy.

Aw! Isn't that cute?

He really likes you.

[barks]

You must be feeling terriblethat
he's so far away from his home.

Oh, I'd better go out and put
upthese "Macaw Found" posters

up around the neighborhood.

Don't worry, Sprocket.
We'll soon find the owner.

[Sprocket whimpers]

-[barks]-[squawks]

Very, very good doggy.

[Sprocket whimpers]

-[chattering]-[Gobo] Oh.

Wembley should
have been back by now.

Oh, Gobo, stop worrying.

Wembley's perfectly
capableof taking care of himself.

Of course he is.

Why, I'll bet he's gonna
comebouncing in here any second,

Why, I'll bet he's gonna
comebouncing in here any second,

-just laughing about all
the fun he's had.-Yeah.

-Yeah.-[Wembley sighs]

Right again, guys.

Wembley. Wembley, what...
What happened? Are you all right?

-I don't wanna talk about
it.-[gasps] Are you hurt? Oh.

-No.-Oh.

Oh, well, did something happen?

-Yes.-[all gasp]

[sighs]

Was it terrible?

Yes and no.

Oh, was it wonderful?

-No.-Oh.

-Yes.-Oh.

And no.

Wembley, what happened?

I said I didn't
wanna talk about it.

[sighs] Wembley,
this can't go on.

No matter how terrible
you feel, you gotta eat.

I'm not hungry.

But... But, Wembley, I've
madeyour favorite dish.

Peach and pepper potage.

[Wembley sobbing]

[Boober sighs]

-[Boober
yelps]-[wailing, sobbing]

[Red, Mokey groan]

[groans]

This has gone on long enough.

I'm gonna get Wembley
to tell uswhat's going on

even if I have to sit
on himuntil he does.

And... And then he did the meanest
thinganybody's ever done to me.

-[Red gasps]-He kicked me out.

-Oh!-[Boober] Oh.

Well, Wembley, Mudbunniesare
very mysterious creatures,

and you must expect
themto act in mysterious ways.

That doesn't help, Mokey.

Oh, well...

Well... Well, I sayif
someone treats you badly,

you should just
forget about them.

Friends don't do that
to each other.[huffs]

But... But you get real mad
at us, and we're still friends.

-Oh, well, uh, that's
different.-How?

Ah, well, it just is.

[groans]

Look, Wembley,

we all act weird sometimes,
we all act weird sometimes,

but usually there's
an explanation.

Why don't you just go
backto Mudwell and...

And tell him you want to
understandwhat's going on?

I... Boober, what do you think?

Oh, don't ask me. I'm still
reelingfrom the part where you said

his peach and pepper
potagewas better than mine.

[sighs]

[Wembley sighs]

Mudwell owes me an explanation?

Then I'm on my way.

Why?

Why did I do it?

I feel so guilty.

What a terrible time
to goand make a friend.

What was I supposed to do?

Leave him buried
under those rocks?

Well, I didn't, and
the worst happened.

I had to hurt somebodythat
cared about me.

Well, I can put that
all behind me now.

'Cause the time has
come.-The time for what?

'Cause the time has
come.-The time for what?

What are you doing here?
I thought I told you to...

Forget it, Mudwell.
It won't work.

Friends don't act mean to
each otherwithout a reason.

And I've come back to
find outwhat that reason is.

-I see.-Well? Spill it.

And don't try anything like,

"Mudbunnies and
Fraggles arevery different

and really can't
understand each other."

Well, the truth is Mudbunniesand
Fraggles are very different.

[sighs]

I don't think they really
canunderstand each other.

Really? Why not?

Well, Fraggles are always
runningaround, being friends together,

having lots of fun.

But... But we're friends,
and we had lots of fun too.

We sure did.

More fun than I've
ever had in my life.

Well, then why did
you push me away?

Because a Mudbunny never
knowswhen the time will come.

Though that's all right with me,

it's bound to hurt anyone I've madefriends
with when I have to say goodbye.

Then don't say goodbye.

Let's just hang around
togetherand have fun.

I really like you.
I really like you.

And I really like you, Wembley.

But the mud is ready...

and the time has come.

Ah.

Perfect.

Goodbye.

Mudwell, what are you doing?

This is no time to take a
nap. I want to work things out.

Come on, Mudwell. Wake up.

Mudwell?

He's dead.

Sprocket, I am ashamed of you.

[murmurs]

Well, I'll tell you why. I just happenedto
come from Ned Shimmelfinney's,

Well, I'll tell you why. I just happenedto
come from Ned Shimmelfinney's,

where he and his cat Fluffinella

were listening to your
favorite show, Pet News.

-[parrot]
Uh-oh.-[Sprocket] Uh-oh.

Now, I know you listento
this show every day.

So you know that this bird
belongsat Goldberg's Pet Shop.

-[whimpers]-Well, why
didn't you say anything?

-[murmurs]-Yes, yes, yes.

I know you care for him,
but that doesn't matter.

This bird has gotta go
backwhere he belongs.

-[Sprocket whimpers]-Now
you just better say goodbye.

[whimpering]

[inhales, exhales deeply]

He's not gonna get over losing
Mudwellunless we help him.

Well, I know what I'd doif I
was faced with such a tragedy.

So do I.

So do I.

In fact, I've been
preparingfor it all my life.

[Wembley sobbing]

[Mokey] Oh. Aw.

[Boober] Aw.

[Gobo sighs]

Well, I don't care what we
doas long as we do it now.

- Okay, you ready, Wembley?-Ready.
- Okay, you ready, Wembley?-Ready.

All right! Here
we go. [chuckles]

This'll make you feel better.

[both screaming]

[screaming continues]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[droning]

Goodbye, my friend, goodbye.

Fear not, I shall not cry

or moan or fret or
stub my toe upon the...

rock on which you lie.

[World's Oldest Fraggle] Put me down!
I don't know what you expect me to do.

-Whoa!-[crash]

Look. You're the World's Oldest Fraggle.
If anybody can help Wembley, it's you.

[grumbles]

So your little friend
kicked the boulder,

left no forwarding address,
left no forwarding address,

stayed down for the count,

headed for the
big cave in the sky.

Whoa!

That's not what I meant!

It's okay, Gobo.

Yeah, my friend is gone,

and I'm having
trouble believing it.

Oh, I know what you mean.

You keep thinking
that your little pal

is just gonna comewalking
through the door at any minute.

-Am I right?-That's right!

Well, anything's possible.

-Really?-But I
wouldn't hold my breath!

[laughs]

Hey, I don't know... I don't
know how you can laugh.

I feel just terrible.

Oh. Now... Now
come on, little fella.

Lookee here, when
you reach my age,

you don't take
death so seriously.

In fact, when you've been
in one placeas long as I have,

you can't help but look
forwardto a change of scenery.

[laughing]

-Yes.-"Look forward to a...

- A change of scenery."-"A
change of scenery."

- a change of scenery."-"A
change of scenery."

[laughs] That's a new...

-[laughing] That's
a... [laughing]

-Oh!-Oh, oh!

-[laughing]-I fell off the rock!

Yeah! [laughs] "Look
forward to a change"...

"Change of scenery." [chuckles]

[Wembley] Huh. [chuckles] Yeah.

[sighs] Well,

I guess he didn't helpvery
much either, did he?

[Wembley] Well, maybe not, butit...
It did feel good to laugh. [chuckles]

[sighs]

Wembley, you know, when
I was a little Fraggle, I...

I had a pet thimble bug.

-Oh.-Well, I don't know
ifhe got lost or ran away or...

Or even died.

All I know is one
day he was gone.

Did... Did that make
youfeel as bad as I do?

Well, yeah, sure.

Ah.

But you know what?

Uh, that little thimble bug had built
anest for himself in the corner of my room.

And, well, I still have that nest.
And, well, I still have that nest.

And that helps?

Well, sure. It's...

It's likea... a part
of him is still alive.

Ah, I get it.

It's like if... if somebody
drew pictures, like Mokey,

or... or if somebody built
a diving board, like Red,

we'd have those thingsto
remember them by.

-Yeah.-Yeah.

But it doesn't even have to be
a thingthat they leave behind.

It could just be a happy momentthat
you... you keep alive in your memory.

Well... [chuckles]

Well, I... I had lots of
happy momentswith Mudwell.

[chuckles, sighs]

But... But I don't feel
like part of himis still alive

'cause I'm not used
to all of himbeing gone.

Well...

Well, maybe you're just not... not
readyto think about the happy times.

No. No, I'm not.

'Cause there's
something I have to do.

[wind whistling]

What happened?

Mudwell? Is that you?

Oh. Um...

I... I don't know if you can hear me,
but... but I just wanna say goodbye.

We had some good times, and...

And I'm gonna do my best
to tryand remember them.

[gasps]

-Mudwell?-[coughing]

Sorry to disappoint you, pal.

I may only be a second old,

but I know that my
name is not Mudwell.

Oh, well... I guess
it's silly, but...

But for a moment there, I...
But for a moment there, I...

Well, I thought that
you weresomeone else.

Yeah, sure. I get it.

I hope you find, uh...
What's his name? Mudwell.

I really do.

But, uh, now, if you don't mind,
I'd like to check out my new place.

Oh.

Sure. I... I'm sorry
I bothered you.

Well, here. Why don't you take
theseas kind of a... a cave-warming gift?

Well, thanks.
Don't mind if I do.

This place is kind
ofmud-colored for my taste,

but these make itseem
better already. Huh.

Yeah.

[Wembley humming]

What's that you're humming?
Sounds kind of familiar.

Well, it's a song I really
love. It goes like, um...

[whistling]

Yeah. Yeah. And I bet
the rest of it goes like...
