[Ada speaking]

[hums]

Apples, sandwiches, juice…

I'm forgetting something.

This is a big lunch for a little Ada.

Are you going to Iggy's or to the moon?

[giggles] I'm staying on Earth today.

But Iggy said to come for "all-day fun,"

so I'm packing snacks for us
to keep up our energy.

But I wonder how much food we'd need
for a playdate on the moon?

Whatever the answer is,
I know you'll figure it out, honey.

That's what I'm forgetting.

Honey for my almond butter
granola biscuits.

Thanks, Mom!

[Mrs. Twist chuckles]

[Rosie] Clown nose, swoosh.

Balloons, swoosh.

Beach ball, swoo…
Might have to leave the beach ball.

Ooh, are you having
a balloon-beach ball bonanza at Iggy's?

He said to be ready for anything.

So I thought ba*ls, balloons,
clown nose and

bubbles!

Rosie Rule number 222. [giggles]

[both] "Bring bubbles
in case of emergency."

[doorbell rings]

Hey, it's Ada and Rosie.

-Hi, Ada. Hi, Rosie.
-Hello!

Come on, come on!

-Come on!
-[laughter]

Welcome to Peck and Pals Skate Park.

-[Rosie] Whoa!
-[Ada] Wow!

[Rosie] Fantabulous!

It's like ice cream
and unicorns and birthdays

wrapped into one beautiful package.

It's incredible!

Good thing I packed a lot of snacks.
We're gonna need them.

My son the architect has outdone himself.

Have fun! I'll be planting snapdragons
if you need me.

You can plant dragons in a garden?!

Cool!

[chuckles] That would be cool,
but snapdragons are plants.

Oh! If I was a plant,
that's what I'd want my name to be.

-[giggling]
-Come on!

Can't wait to show you everything!

[Rosie] Cool!

We have ramps in all sizes.

Small, medium-small,

medium-medium, medium-large,

and ginormous.

And…

They're adjustable?

You can mix and match?

Uh-huh. Come on!

This is so high! I love heights.

This wood is super slidey.

It's slippery, slidey, and shiny,
so your ride will be smoothie.

[chuckles] I mean, smooth.

Iggy, this is a pretty perfect park.

-Can't wait! Gotta skate!
-Just one more thing…

-Whoa!
-Wow!

-Thank you!
-Thanks!

I can't believe you did all this, Iggy.
You thought of everything.

This is fabtastic.

Now let's go skate!

I have so much potential energy up here.

I can't wait to turn it
into kinetic energy.

Potential and kinetic energy?

Love!

Uh, wait, what are those again?

Potential energy
is energy you haven't used yet,

so it's stored up,
especially if you're up high like this.

But when you move, you release it
and it becomes kinetic energy,

or energy in motion, like this!

Whee!

I love kinetic energy!

[upbeat music plays]

[Ada] Woo!

[Rosie] Yee-haw!

Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

[Ada] Yay!

Ada, Ada, check out this ollie!

Watch me do a heel flip.

Ooh, and my new favorite move,

the Rippin' Rosie Rollout.

Whoa!

Yeah! Come on, Rosie! Woo!

-You kids okay up there?
-We're great, Mr. Peck.

Best day ever!

Just two friends doing awesome tricks.

Okay. Skate on.

Wait. Why are there only two friends
doing awesome tricks?

Where's Iggy?

-I'm up here.
-Aren't you gonna skate?

I'm good right here. [nervous chuckle]
I like watching you two have fun.

-[Rosie] We want you to skate with us.
-[Ada] We're coming up.

I wasn't gonna skate.
I just wanted to design the ramps.

You can skateboard, right?

Uh, well…

No.

We can fix that.

Yeah! We'll teach you.

Then you can do
awesomely-tastic tricks with us!

I don't really want to--

Bother us? Don't be silly.

It's only fun if we're all skating.
Come on!

Okay, Iggy. If we're going
to help you learn to skateboard,

we have to know what the problem is.

I know what the problem is. Every time
I try to skate, I… Whoa! Whoops!

Fall down! [grunts]

Okay. So looks like
you have a problem with balance.

I know where this is going.

You have a hypothesisme…

A hypothemist…

Ugh. You know what I mean!

[giggles] A hypothesis!

If we fix your balance,
then you'll be able to skate.

Let's brainstorm!

I have an idea!

Clown acrobats need a lot of balance,

so they use long poles to help them

for when they're balancing
on a tower of clowns.

Obvi!

So all we need are a long pole
and a tower of clowns.

I'm gonna stop you right there.

Clowns are creepy.

They laugh and cry
at the same time. [shudders]

I never noticed that,
but you're kinda right.

Okay, I have an idea.

Giant monster trucks.
They never fall over.

Hmm, but what if a mean monster
is driving it and crushes the skate park?

[monster] I'm crushing it!

[monster roars]

Oh. Oh yeah. That would be bad.

Very bad. Also kinda awesome.
But mostly bad.

I have an idea.

I could… just not skate.

-[Ada and Rosie gasp]
-What? No. Scientists don't quit.

I'm not quitting. I just don't want to--

Design something? Of course not.

You deserve a break
after making this amazing park.

Don't worry, Iggy. We got this.

Skate. I don't want to skate.

[sighs]

[Rosie] We need wheels
that aren't too big.

Or no wheels at all?

Something sturdy for the frame.

And rubber!

[sighs] I really don't need this.

Trust me. You need rubber for a good grip.

Okay, we need to test the materials.

Loading the lab!

[thrilling music plays]

Hmm, which wheels, Iggy?

Medium-medium, medium-large, or ginormous?

[sighs] I really don't--

Know what to choose?
Don't worry. We've got it.

[jaunty music plays]

Okay, we have the right materials.

Let's build this thing.

[Iggy sighs]

Ta-da!

-It's done!
-What do you think, Iggy?

That's a really cool design.

But you shouldn't
have done all that, 'cause--

Of course we should have.
We want you to have fun too.

Check it out!
This expanding pole keeps you stable.

The springy wheels absorb bumps
and keep you rolling.

And these grips keep your hands baby soft.
What do you think?

I think… I need to get a helmet.

For my helmet.

And I, uh,

need to clean this.

And I should

wait 16 hours after food
before I skate. Sorry!

Isn't that a rule for swimming?

Bye!

Hmm. I don't get it. We made him
this cool balancer to help him.

-Why doesn't Iggy wanna skate with us?

[gasps] I think I know the answer.

-Iggy, are you hiding from us?
-I'm not Iggy.

[in different voice] I'm a tree. [mumbles]

[giggles] We know you're Iggy.

Wait, are you scared to skate?

-Not scared, just don't--
-Don't wanna get dirty.

-Don't wanna do tricks?
-Don't wanna do the big ramps yet?

[sighs] Let's make a deal.

If I try it once, will you leave me alone?

Absolutely.

Once you learn to balance,
you can skate by yourself.

[Iggy sighs]

Okay, Iggy, nice and slow.

[exhales]

-Yay!
-You did it!

Now we can teach you kick flips.

-Dip flips.
-Trick flips.

And, of course, the Rippin' Rosie Rollout!

-Ada, Rosie, I don't want to skate!
-[Ada and Rosie] Huh?

I designed the park
because it was fun to design.

So you don't have fun skating?

Well, no.

[Ada gasps]

Different people like different things.

Like how me and Rosie
love lizards, but you…

[shudders] Heebie-jeebies.

Right. Or how we love Hula-Hoops,
but Rosie--

I just don't get it.
The hole is so big, the hoop is so thin.

Okay, I think I get it now.

Just 'cause we love it
doesn't mean you have to.

-And that's okay.
-Yeah.

As long as we're all having
a fabtastic time,

-it doesn't matter what we're doing.
-Exactly.

Sorry, Iggy. We should have listened.

Yeah. We shouldn't have
pushed you so hard to skate.

Aw, it's okay. I know
you just wanted me to have fun too.

Aw, bring it in!

-[all grunt]
-[laughter]

[gasps] But you know what would be fun?
Making this better.

I was thinking…

It's 125% even more awesome!

You design, we'll skate.

-[Ada] Whee!
-[Rosie] Yee-haw!

[Rosie giggles]

[Ada laughs]

[Rosie] Woo-hoo!

[Iggy's dad] Yeah! Still got it!

Woo-hoo! Yeah!

[laughter]

[Ada speaking]

[Ada giggles]

-[Mrs. Twist coughs]
-Poor Mom.

Do you think she'll feel better in time
for Great Aunt Bernice's dinner on Sunday?

I don't wanna miss Great Aunt Bernice's
six-cheese mac-and-cheese.

And I want Mom to get better, of course.

Well, let's get to making
this Feel-Better-Formula then.

My Octo-juicer's ready.

Who came up
with the Feel-Better-Formula anyway?

It's so old,
we don't know who invented it.

People knew there was medicine in plants,
so they tried different things

until they found
the combination that worked.

-That's creative.
-That's what scientists do!

Try different combinations
until you find the right one that works.

Lemons for vitamin C.

Ginger for antioxidants.

Anti-oxi-what?

Antioxidants.
A chemical compound that protects cells.

Honey for energy
and to make her cough less.

Coconut for potassium and hydration.

And cayenne pepper.
It makes mucus thinner.

The sticky, slimy stuff
in your nose? Gross.

Uh-huh. And all the ingredients
work together. It's chemistry.

Let's get this chemistry concoction
to your mom

and kick the flu out of her body
and into the stratosphere!

Viruses do travel through the air
in droplets.

Like they're in a sneeze shuttle
or a cough rocket.

When someone's sick,
they sh**t out a space-force of droplets

when they cough or sneeze.

-Ew! I don't want sneeze droplets on me.
-That's why you gotta stay away.

Iggy and Rosie should, too,
when they come over.

-How come you can go in, Dad?
-'Cause I already had the flu.

So my body built up defenses to fight it.

The only other lifeforms besides me
allowed in here are plants--

Whoa, whoa! [chuckles]

This thing's always sneaking up on me.

Uh, plants and animals and bots.
That's it.

-[giggles] Okay, Dad.
-[Arthur] Got it.

Okay, here you go. There you are.

Okay, Nurse Dad's off to work.

Now, I know you love your mom
and wanna help, but don't go in.

You could get sick and she needs her rest.

Love you.

-[Arthur] Bye!
-[Ada] Bye, Dad! [sighs]

Who's going to take Mom's temperature,
give her hugs,

and tuck her in now that Dad's gone?

[Mrs. Twist groans]

-Mom!
-Wait!

-Dad said we can't go in.
-[coughs]

I'm okay. My juice just fell.

Don't worry, Mom. We'll make more.

But how are we gonna get it to Mom
if we can't go in the room?

Iggy and Rosie are on their way.
We'll figure it out, with science.

[creaking]

Hmm. Weird. I thought I heard…

[Mooshu meows]

-Hi!
-[squeals]

-[both yell]
-Whoopsies.

Didn't mean to scare you.

You said we had to let your mom rest,
so I was trying to sneak in like a ninja.

It worked. Too well.

Where's Iggy?

Under my chair?

-[Iggy yelps]
-[Ada and Rosie] Huh?

Hey, Iggy!

-[popping]
-[Iggy yelps]

Oh. [chuckles] That's me. I'm popping.

-Hi, Ada. Hey, Rosie.
-Why are you all the way out there?

And why do you look
like a sumo-wrestling superhero

that sounds like popcorn?

Mm, popcorn!

I wanna be safe from your mom's flu.

My dad and I are planting
a Green Giant tree this weekend

and I'm, uh, not taking any chances.

-[gasps and groans]
-You can come inside.

We'll be safe
as long as we stay away from Mom.

Uh-uh. Can we brainstorm with me out here?

-[popping]
-[yelps]

Sure. I have an idea.
We could make a really long silly straw

so we can leave the juice outside the room
and Mom can sip it from inside.

But what if the straw gets all twisted up

and she has to slurp so hard
that she gets sucked in?

[burps]

That would be terrible for her throat.

I'll slay the virus like a dragon.

[grunts] Take that, virus!

But the virus is made up
of lots of teeny droplets floating around.

And they're invisible unless
they're under a powerful microscope.

That makes it a lot harder.

-[coughing]
-[gasps] I heard a cough!

I have an ivea.
We vould put the vuice in a vubble.

-What's a "vubble"?
-I think he said, "A Hubble."

Oh, like the telescope.

-No.
-Puddle?

-Uh-uh.
-Rubble?

-No.
-Muzzle?

-No.
-Cuddle?

[Iggy sighs]

[jaunty music plays]

-Aw, Iggy made a cute bug-bot.
-[Ada] There's a message.

It says,
"Let's put the juice in a bubble."

[both] Oh!

That was my next guess.

Great idea to send a message with a robot,
too, since he won't come inside.

[gasps] Wait! That's it!

-Rosie… robot!
-[Rosie giggles]

I'm Rosie Revere.

Although Rosie Robot
sounds pretty cool too.

[giggles] No, I mean
we should make a robot

to take the Feel-Better-Formula to Mom.

Oh, right!

Robots can go where humans can't.

Like Mars or the ocean.

-Or our living room.
-[Iggy] Huh?

Mars is in the ocean
in your living room with the robot flu?

[groans] We can't work like this.

I have an idea.

Maybe if Iggy learns more about viruses,
he'll feel better about coming in.

Oh!

Learning that viruses
only travel about six feet

made me feel a lot better
about coming inside.

But I'm still wearing this shield
in case any sneeze droplets get near me.

I'm just happy we can hear you now.
Loading the lab.

[thrilling music plays]

What kind of bot should we make?

We can take Iggy's idea to make a bubble
and add arms and legs.

-Yeah!
-Sweet!

[gasps]

-[Iggy gasps]
-[Rosie giggles]

[Rosie] Introducing Bubble Bot!

It's bubble-rific.

I love it! Let's get it in there.

I've got a fresh batch
of Feel-Better-Formula.

Thanks, Arthur.

Bubble Bot, take the juice to Mom.

It's bouncing all over the place.

It's gonna wake Mom up.

-[all gasp]
-She's waking up!

Phew. We're gonna need a better bot.

[Rosie] Let us build a cardboard robot.
Beep, bop, boop.

[all giggle]

Great idea, Rosie.

Cardboard won't squeak or pop
like Bubble Bot.

And it's square-shaped,
so it won't bounce around.

[imitates robot] Let's get to w-w-work.

[all laugh]

[Mooshu meows]

Meet Cardboard Bot. Beep, boop, berp.

It's too square. It can't squeeze through
or around the furniture.

-Yikes!
-Oh no, no, no, no!

[Mooshu meows]

-[Mrs. Twist groans]
-[Ada] Oh no!

[Mrs. Twist coughs]

[all] Phew!

Cardboard Bot's not working either.

[sighs] These bots are a bust.

Mom's not gonna get
her Feel-Better-Formula

and we're gonna miss Great Aunt Bernice's
Sunday dinner. [sighs]

-Where there's a will, there's a bot.
-You're right!

We should try
until we find the combination that works.

Wait. Just like whoever made
the Feel-Better-Formula did.

I think I just connected the polka dots.

We made a bot,
but none of them were right for the job.

Yeah. Like you probably wouldn't send
an underwater robot into space.

That would be a robo-flop.

What kind of bot will get the juice
back to Mom until we get Nurse Dad back?

Arthur!

[chimes]

Genius!

That's true. Uh, why this time?

Mom needs a bot that can
bring her the Feel-Better-Formula,

and tuck her in, take her temperature,
and give her feel-better hugs.

Nurse-Dad Bot.

I am a genius!

Well, get to it, kids.
I'm gonna make more juice.

Let's build a new bot.

[thrilling music plays]

[Ada] Meet Nurse Bot.

[Rosie] Awesome!

I programmed him to behave like a nurse.
And he's quiet, so he won't wake Mom up.

-Amazing!
-Cool!

I've got a fresh batch
of Feel-Better-Formula.

Whoa!

That thing's so quiet.
Always sneaking up on us.

[gasps] That's genius, Lil' A.

[all gasp]

He made it
without spilling the juice or popping.

And he's as quiet as a ninja.

[Iggy] Oh, he's perfect!

[groans] Thanks, Nurse.

Wait… Nurse? [sighs]

-We did it!
-Go, Nurse Bot!

-[Rosie] Fabtastic!
-[Mooshu meows]

-[Mooshu meows]
-[laughter]

Mm, I love your six-cheese
mac-and-cheese, Great Aunt Bernice.

Me too. It's the perfect ratio
of crunchy to melty.

Well, good. If it's crunchier
than feet in fresh fallen snow

and meltier than butter
on a pipin' hot biscuit, I've done my job.

I'm happy a Twist family recipe
helped me kick my flu

so I could enjoy this Twist family recipe.

I'm not even gonna ask.

[all laugh]

[closing theme music plays]
