- Oh no, this video
phone is on the fritz again.

We have to get it working,
because Uncle Eeky is trying

to call us
all the way from Africa.

Uncle Eeky?

- Are you there?

- Uncle Eeky?

I have to get
this thing fixed, quick!

I know
exactly what's wrong.

I just need a new one
of these thing-a-ma-jigs.

Now what am I going to do?

Well, I'd better
run to Whatchamacallits

and see if I can
get some right away.

Come on!

- Squeeky!

Oh, Squeeky!

- Squeeky, are you in here?

- Yeah, our basketball
lost air and now it's more

like a basket of mush.

- Hello!

Hello?

Is anybody there?

- Eeky?

- How did you
get in that phone?

Did Squeeky try to
use your Shrinkmaster 3000?

- Oh no, Loli.

I'm in Africa,
coming to you via satellite.

- Via what?

- A satellite is
a big antenna that

the astronauts put
into space so we can talk

to people around
the world more easily.

- Wow.

We can see you like
you're right next door.

- I can see you too,
girls, and you still look

as cute as ever.

- Eeky, what are
you doing in Africa?

I thought
you were in Egypt.

- Actually, Egypt is a country
on the continent of Africa,

so I decided to take
a couple of weeks and travel

into the jungles
of Africa and go on a

safari with wild animals.

- A safari?

What's a safari?

- A safari is a
trip where you explore

animals in the
wild and learn new,

interesting things
about nature.

- Wow, so have
you seen any zebras?

- Oh, yeah.

Zebras and great
big elephants.

- And how about
some monkeys?

- Yeah, they swing around
the jungle trees all day.

- Any lions?

- Many lions.

- And tigers?

- Beautiful,
striped tigers, yeah.

- Bet you
haven't seen any bears.

- Actually, I did see one.

- Oh, boy!

So, you've seen lions...

- ...and tigers...

- ...and bears...

- ...oh, my!

- Well, it sounds
like you're having so much fun.

- Lots and lots of fun.

- You do know that
we really miss you so much,

right, Eeky?

- And I miss you girls,
too, and I think about you

all the time.

- You do?

- Absolutely, I do.

So tell me, what have
I missed since I've been gone?

- Oh, boy.

Where do we start?

- Make believe you're
writing a book,

and start at the beginning.

- Well, speaking of books,
why don't we tell Eeky about

our little diary dilemma?

- Oh, do we have to?

- Yes, Loli, because
I think Eeky would be happy

to know that we
both learned a valuable

lesson from those few days.

- Okay.

Well, it started like this.

♪ music playing ♪

- What did you
say Sheira was doing?

- She's keeping a diary
and not telling anyone,

including me,
what she's writing in it.

- You realize
that we can't allow this?

- Yeah, we can't allow
this behavior for one minute.

Why can't we allow this?

- Because I don't like anyone keeping secrets from me.

♪ - Remember when Zippy
told a funny joke? ♪

♪ We laughed,
and then apple juice ♪

♪ came out your nose. ♪

♪ We laughed again. ♪

- I don't remember that.

- It's all right in here.

- But we don't
know where Sheira

keeps her diary.

It could be anywhere.

In the closet,
in her toy chest,

under her pillow.

- Good work, quirk.

Now, grab that diary and
start snapping some pictures.

♪ - I love you,
dear diary. ♪

- Oh, what's got you all
steamed up, doll face?

- My twin sister,
that's what.

- Loli?

What did she do now?

- Well, first she tried
to sneak a peek inside my

diary when I was sleeping.

But I wasn't really
sleeping, so I caught her.

But then I snuck
into my room again,

and this time
she really looked.

- Sheira,
I didn't touch your diary.

I really didn't.

- Ribbit-ribbit.

- Oh, I'll never get
Sheira to believe me.

♪ -Diary, I love you,
my dear diary. ♪

- So, we all learned
that it's important to

respect other people's
privacy and not stick your

nose where
it doesn't belong.

- That was a good lesson
you two learned about

respecting each
other's privacy.

- Hey, Squeeky,
I thought you were coming

by to install my new
high-definition DVD system?

Hey girls, what are
you doing hanging out in the

fun-tab-u-lab?

- Talking to Eeky.

- Eeky?

- Is that my favorite
purple crayon that I hear?

- Favorite purple crayon?

I'm the only purple
crayon you know.

- But you're
my favorite, too.

- Whatever you say there, Kronkmeister.

So, how are you,
and how much do you miss me?

- Doodles.

- I miss you, Doodles,
but now how much do you miss me?

- Well, if I can't get
Squeeky to install my

new high-def DVD system
as fast as you would,

then I miss
you a whole lot, too.

- Doodles!

- The girls were
telling me all about what

happened with that diary.

- Girls, I thought
you said you wouldn't tell

them anything about
the fact that I keep a very

special top secret diary?

- Doodles.

- Yeah?

- We didn't
tell him about your diary.

- Yeah, but you just did.

- Oh, you keep
a diary, Doodles?

- No, I didn't say
"diary," I said... piary.

- Piary?

- So, Eeky, did you
hear about the time when

Zippy stole my baloney
sandwich right out of

the Giggle Garden?

- What was your
sandwich doing in

the Giggle
Garden without you?

- Waiting for me
to get back with some mustard.

- Don't tell me it
was genuine deer hoof baloney.

- What else?

- I miss that baloney.

- Yeah, well anyway,
I was starving,

so I whipped up
one of my Doodles Delights

actually expect me to believe

- Oh, man.

I can't believe
what I'm hearing.

- You're hearing
me ask for your forgiveness.

- Well, I guess Zippy
learned a little bit about

telling the truth that day.

- I sure did.

- Hey, Zippy.

When did you pop in?

- Well, just now.

- Is that who
I think it is?

- Yeah, Eeky.

Remember me,
Zippy the cute little Quirk.

Quirk!

- Oh, Zippy.

I haven't
been gone that long.

How could I forget you?

- Well, you know
how that desert sun can

play with your head.

Anyway, what's new in...

in...

well, wherever you are?

- Actually, Zippy,
I'm in Africa.

And to tell you the truth,
it's a jungle out here.

- Do you have to sleep
outside in tents, Eeky?

- Absolutely.

It's so dark that you
can see every star in the sky.

- Wow, that sounds so beautiful.

- Oh, it is, Sheira.

It really is.

- I think it
sounds kind of scary.

- Hey, Eeky, did
you know that we all set up

camp in the Giggle Garden?

- yeah, even Loli
wound up having a good time,

but she wasn't
going to go at first.

- Really?

Why not?

- Well, let's just
say that she was a little

nervous about
the wildlife that comes

out in the
middle of the night.

- Sure is getting
pretty dark out here.

- Wait a second.

You're not afraid
of the dark, are you?

- Who, me?

No! Not at all.

No way,
no how, no chance.

Oh, maybe just a little.

- What?

to say thanks to everyone

for convincing
me to try something new.

it's wonderful that you

tried something new, Loli.

- Yeah, and I'm really
glad that I did.

- Hey, who's the party for?

- Eeky!

- Eeky?

Eeky's coming back?

- No, he's already here.

- Where is he?

- Right there,
on Squeeky's video phone.

- Oh, hey, Eeky.

How are you doing?

- I'm great.

And how are
you, Miss Molly?

- I'm doing very
well, thank you.

But I do have to say that
we do all miss you very much.

- Oh, I miss you, too,
Miss Molly, but the girls,

Doodles and Zippy
are getting me all caught up.

- Yeah.

So far, we've told
him about the diary dilemma.

- Oh, yes.

The diary dilemma.

- And my poor
baloney sandwich.

- Haven't you had six
of those sandwiches since then?

- Yeah, but that
one was special to me.

- Well anyway,
have they told you about

how Doodles helped Squeeky figure out a way to get us

all to Mars to visit Zimbot?

- To Mars?

Doodles, you've had some
out-of-this-world ideas before,

but this one
sounds like a doozy.

- This on'es a doozy,
all right-- quirk!

- Yeah, a real
Dittydoodle doozy.

- Do we have
to rehash this one?

- Loli wants you to
build us a spaceship so

we can go
visit Zimbot in space.

- I can't do it,
so I'm on my way to tell

the girls the bad news.

- Well, if Eeky was here,
I bet he'd figure something out.

- All you need to do is
build something that shakes

and shimmies around
a bit so the girls feel

like they've
blasted off into space,

and you'll
be their hero.

- Miss Molly
is right girls.

I didn't want to let you
down because I love you so much,

but I should have
told you the truth.

- Well, that sounds
like my nephew Squeeky.

He learns his
lesson teh hard way.

Speaking of my nephew,
where is he and those

fabulous Funkins?

- Actually,
we're right there.

But how did you
get there, Uncle Eeky?

- First, I got
a ride tot he airport,

then I got on a plane
and I flew over the ocean

to Africa.

- We know
how you got to Africa,

but the
video phone was broken

before, so I went
to Whatchamacallit's to

buy some thing-a-ma-bobs.

- Oh, did you get
more Whose-a-whats-its?

- Sure did,
and they were on sale, too.

- It's really
great to see you, Squeeky.

- You, too, Uncle Eeky.

Are you having fun?

- I sure am,
but I just heard about

the time you had
to come clean, jellybean.

- Yeah, I made a big mistake,
but I was just trying to make

the girls as happy as you
always did when you were here

at Dittydoodle Works.

- Squeeky, the best way to
be sure that Sheira and Loli

are happy is to always
be honest with them and

always show them how to
make the est in any situation.

- You're right about
that, Uncle Eeky.

- Well, Eeky, despite our
little space travel troubles,

I think we would all
agree that there's no better

man to fill
your shoes than Squeeky.

- Yeah, he's so nice.

- And funny.

- And I bet he can install a
new DVD player like no one can.

- Huh?

- We'll talk later.

- Hey, Eeky, did Squeeky
ever tell you how he helped

me find my sense
of humor at Silly School?

- Oh, yeah.

He may have mentioned
something, but tell me again.

- Well, it
all started when...

- ...just because Zippy
lost his sense of humor

doesn't mean he
should get mad at me.
