- Oh, it's so hot.
- Oh, it's so hot! - Hi, folks.
It's "The Drizz" here with your daily weather report.
Ooh, golly gee, it's hot!
This epic heat wave has everyone scrambling for shade.
[fire crackling]
- Finally, Ryan, that stupid ship
and its stupid shade are not so stupid anymore.
Ryan, my water wings, please. Ryan?
- Here, I am, sir. Here. [panting]
- Where were you?
I was talking to myself like an idiot.
Is the blow-up pool ready?
- Yes, Mayor, but there's a problem.
- No, Ryan. For once, there is no problem!
We have the only shade on the entire mountain,
and it's mine, all mine!
What is this?
- Uh, it appears, uh, some people
have taken to your shade in order to cool off.
- Well, this is a problem, Ryan.
A problem I should have known about!
- Big Terry comin' through.
- Those are my water wings! - And mail for you.
And package for you. Oh! Big box for you. There we go.
- I can't tell if I'm sweating or melting.
- I'll take over, Russell! [blowing]
- [sniffs] Parker, did you eat a tuna fish sandwich for lunch?
- I sure did! - Can we not?
- What about this?
Hmm. Okay, so water and air is a no go.
There's gotta be something that will cool your jets.
[snaps fingers] What about ice?
Delicious sweet ice.
Snow cones.
[hawk screeching]
[ice cubes rattling]
both: Ahh.
- Parker, your snow cone just kicked this heat wave
right in the fanny.
- Whoo-hoo, it worked!
- Any chance, man, I could get one of those?
- Sure!
[hawk screeches]
- That's the single most refreshing thing
I've ever tasted.
And I don't smell like yesterday's hot trash anymore!
- Got one for me? - Coming right up!
- Can you make me and the missus one too?
- Two snow cones, no problem!
- Me too! Me too! - Here you go! Enjoy!
- I'd love a snow cone! - Snow cones!
[together] Snow cones!
- Parker, buddy, you just can't give a snow cone
to anyone that asks for one. - How come?
I love making people happy, and it looks like my snow cones
are making people super happy.
So why would I stop?
- You know what? Go for it, kiddo.
I don't see the harm in it.
Russell and I will finish the route.
- [gasps] Thanks, Angus! Two for the road!
[rock music]
- Dirty rotten shade stealers.
Let's see how they like it when I blast them with this!
Ha!
[all cheering]
- No, stop liking it! Hate it! - Mmm. That looks fun.
- Ryan, where have you been?
The squatters are squatting all over my shade!
Where did you get that snow cone?
- In town. Parker J. Cloud is giving them away for free.
It's like Christmas in my mouth!
- Ho-ho-ho! - Free you say?
Hmm.
[indistinct chatter]
- One at a time, one at a time. Have your order ready, please.
But you should know, I only make rainbow.
- Here we are, good people!
Refreshing snow cones, just like I promised.
Remember, your friendly mayor paid for these.
- Whoo-hoo. - Hooray!
- Yeah. All right.
- Build a wall around my property now, Ryan.
I'm not sharing my shade with anyone anymore.
To the pool!
- Next! - Hi, Parker.
What do you think of my new cooling suit?
Pretty "cool"? Ha-ha.
- Kind of busy right now, Lily. Next!
- Hmm.
- Next! Next!
- Parker, you don't look so good.
- I feel fine. Look how happy I'm making everyone!
[crowd cheering]
- Yeah, but all your color is disappearing.
I think you might be giving too much of yourself away.
- I don't see it, Lily. - Hey, that guy got two!
If he got two, I should get two!
- Keep complaining and you'll get zero!
- Seeing you act like this doesn't make me very happy.
- Here, Lily. This should help. Who's next?
[all cheering]
- Hey, kiddo. How'd the rest of your day go?
[gloomy music]
- Ugh. It was whatever.
- Parker, you okay? - Oh, great.
Now I gotta hear from you too? I'm fine!
- Uh, dinner's almost ready.
- Pass.
I'm gonna go to my room and listen to some records.
- Records? But you don't own any records.
- Ugh! Get off my back!
Gosh!
- Parker? - Ugh.
- Parker, I'm kind of worried about you!
You look all pale. - Hello. Cloud?
- What's with the "tood," dude?
You get enough sleep last night?
You eating okay? - [clucking]
It's those snow cones, isn't it?
How many of them did you give out today?
- Somewhere between and none of your business.
- Okay, that's it! You're coming with me, pal.
- Where? - To the doctor.
You're clearly under the weather.
- Your mom's under the weather. - Parker!
- Ohh.

Is that one of them ironic T-shirts?
- Are you an ironic T-shirt? - No. What? Geesh.
Aw, hey, Doc, thanks for squeezing us in.
- What seems to be the problem? - Look!
The kid's lost all color, all spark, all get up and get.
- I'm rolling my eyes under here.
You just can't see it. - You see what I mean?
Parker's been giving away free snow cones,
and I think that's messing the kid all up!
- I see. Okay, yeah.
No worries. We'll check the kid out.
- Ugh! Oof!
- Cloud's fine! Don't worry.
- See ya 'round like a donut, paper boy!
- Hmm.
- [humming]
- This would move a lot faster
if you would use both hands, Ryan.
- What's the big fuss about these snow cones anyway?
[bell dings] - Ho-ho-ho!
- My brain!
Oh!
[whimpers] - Sir! Talk to me, sir!
Aw, that bite was too big for a beginner!
You have to work up to the bites I was taking.
- Oi, it tastes so good, yet it hurts so bad!
I want one of my own!
Ahh! Ugh!
Ahh! Ugh!
Ryan! Where's the door on this stupid thing?
- Uh, you said "build a wall," sir, uh, not a door.
- Snow cone!
- Okay, step right up! Who's hot and wants to be not?
You again.
- Me again? Parker, this has got to stop.
Now, I know you love to make others happy,
but sometimes, the healthy thing to do
is to say "no." You think you can try that?
- Ugh!
Snow cones!
Get 'em while they're cold! Unlimited supply!
[crickets chirping]
What'd you do to my customers, Angus?
- Snow cones on the house.
- What's the dilly, Lily? You made a snow cone machine?
But people love my snow cones. They make everyone happy.
[raspberries]
- But it looked like a lot of work for one little cloud.
I wanted to help.
- A machine can't replace me.
My snow cones come from the heart.
Literally! Part of my heart got scooped out in the last batch!
- But it's your heart that we love the most, Parker.
We hate seeing you give it all away.
- She's right, kiddo. - Oh!
Really? Well how's this for being right?
Ahh!
[crowd gasping and booing]
- I'm--I'm sorry, Lily.
I don't know why I did that.
I haven't been feeling like myself.
- It's okay, Parker. It's just a snow cone machine.
- Uh, this seems important and all, man,
but can I get a snow cone?
- Sure thing. - Parker.
- But I don't want to be cold to anyone, Angus.
- Believe it or not, it's kind of "cool"
to say "no" sometimes.
- Where we at on that snow cone order, man? You working on it?
- N--n--n...
no!
- Oh. Sweet, sweet relief, man.
- I want a snow cone too!
- Uh, no? [burps]
- Thank you!
- Angus, you were right.
It is cool to say "no" sometimes!
- I'm proud of you, kiddo. - Hey, Terry!
Ask me for a snow cone!
- Um, can I get a snow cone? - No!
- What about me? Can I get one?
- No!

I don't think I've ever seen this part of the forest before.

Okay, says here it's going to a "Lady of the Tree"

Well, that's not helpful at all.
It's gonna take forever to find it--

Uh, we leave the package at the door.

Are you the Lady of the Tree?

to Old Lady of the Tree. [cackles]

Isn't she funny, Angus? - [hisses]

Ah! - Angus, hmm?
Like the steak?

Best if we scoot.

I haven't had company in so long.

- Well, if that's what you think of me,
you don't have to stay. - Look, Angus.
She's not a witch. She's just a sad and lonely lady.
- Leave if you must. I can build my rocking chair
you so kindly delivered all by myself.
Time to put these bony and brittle fingers to work.
Ahh!
Ohh!
[groaning]
Ugh!

- The least we could do is put together
the chair for her, Angus.
You could probably do it super quick!
You're so good at building things.
- Ah, solid point there. [loud crash]
- No, it's fine. I can do it.
Ow! Splinter!
- Like I've always said, "At the Middlemost Post,

Good thing I brought my own.

I mean smoothie-- should be ready.

- Because I am a witch! [cackling]
- You're a--a--a--a... - Witch? Yes.
But I'm a good witch.
- Whew! Okay, good.
Whew, was worried you were a bad witch for a minute there.
- If anything, I'm just misunderstood.
Do you know what it feels like to be misunderstood?
- Do I? I'm a kid and a cloud. I'm misunderstood all the time.

One misunderstood friend to another?

so hard that he's taking a much-deserved nap.
- He does work hard.
- Help me get him to the rocking chair, hmm?
- My pleasure.
- Nice 'n tight.
Hmm, it's so drafty in here.
We should make him a fire.

Can never be too toasty.
I'll be right back with the steak knives.
