[bunniefuu]

This program is rated C8 and is intended

for children over the age of eight.

Hey, let me tell you about my friends.

They're my best friends, the Sousas. They

can talk, dance and sing. They can do

about anything. Pitch Beak always plays

it cool to Mr. Squiggles. Science rules.

Num nums.

And I'm Frankie. Frankie and the Zoo

Zoo Pets Our adventures are the very best

Who knows what'll happen next Living with

the Zoo Zoos Frankie and the Zoo Zoo

Pets

Good morning, beautiful. Good morning to

you, too. Oh, you were talking to

Frankie. Chunk. I was

talking to Frankie, but you're looking

very nice, too, Chunk. No need to get

your eyes checked. They're working fine.

Okay, who's ready for the last pancakes

of the year?Is it New Year's Eve?

Woo-hoo! Yes, yes, yes Awesome! New

Year's Eve?What happened to the old

Year's Eve?Probably got moldy like that

old cupcake we found under Frankie's.

Yes, yes, yes Awesome!

Wow, someone's excited. Yeah. This is the

year I finally get to stay up until

midnight, ring in the new year, and do

some partaying. Um, midnight is

very late, dear. You've never been up

that late. But last year you guys

promised that this year you'd definitely

maybe consider thinking about it. Oh,

that does ring a bell. Yeah, I guess we

did say that.

This will be the best night ever. So

how's this New Year's thing work, Frankie?

I don't know exactly. What do you guys

usually do to celebrate?Well, Mom and I

can get pretty wild. Remember last year?

Ohh Yeah, that was one for the books.

Happy New Year!

That's it?That's New Year's Eve?

No, there's, uh, well,

snacks. Yeah, and getting dressed up

fancy. Yeah, and don't forget the New

Year's resolutions.

Resolutions?Yeah, they're promises

you make to yourself about things you

want to do better in the new year. Hmm

That's gonna be a tough one. I was

operating at a pretty high level this

year. My resolution is to eat more

pancakes from your mom's plate.

Oh, but I... And mine is to keep a closer

eye on your dad's diet. Resolutions sound

awesome. Come on, dudes, we need to start

preparing. Hold on. I'm just a second

there party animal. If you're really

going to stay up for New Year's, I think

you should have a nap this afternoon. Aw,

naps are for babies. I haven't napped in

like 3 years. I'm going to let you in on

a little secret. Before a big party,

everybody naps. How else do you think

they stay up that late?Mm-hmmHe's right,

honey. Naps are the mark of true hardcore

partiers. That makes a lot of sense. Good

call, Dad. All right, Zeus, put napping

on the list. But first, it's time to

decorate.

Whoa! I surrender. Your syrup?Oh,

your life.

These decorations are gonna look great,

Frankie. But I still don't get what New

Year's Eve is all about. Oh, sorry, Pips.

We learned about it at school. It's to

celebrate the whole world crossing from

this year to next year. You mean crossing

to the future?I never thought

about it like that before, but yeah, I

guess we are sort of going to the future.

The

future. Should we be worried about that?

Nah, he's having a eureka moment. Happens

every three or four days. He usually just

wanders around whispering for a while and

then forgets what he was thinking about

in the 1st place. And so, what do we do

when it turns midnight, Frankie?Oh,

that's the best part, Pips. For the last



counts backwards and then yells Happy New

Year!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Counting backwards?

Nobody told me there was gonna be math!

Okay, you guys have your goalie pads and

tinfoil hats on.

Oh, why am I always the only one

dressed for time travel?

Great knitting, Nums. These garlands are

so next year. Thanks, Frankie. But I hope

the others get back soon with some more--

Yay!

I knew knitting was fun, but I should

have known Yoozus would find a way to

make it even better.

Chips?

Popcorn?Pretzels?Do

you have enough bowls for all this stuff,

Chunk?Bowl?

Oh, is this stuff for the party?

My New Year's resolution is to help Mom

and Dad wash the dishes a little more

often. Last time, I only broke four

plates. My New Year's resolution is to be

an even better friend to Frankie. Not

sure that's possible, pips, but I like

where your head's at. My New Year's

resolution is to get over my fear of

eggs. I didn't know you were afraid of

eggs, Nums. Aren't olmets your favorite

breakfast?Yeah. What's your point?Um,

nothing. We'll work on the egg thing for

sure. My resolution is to spend more

time on junk. I missed you too,

buddy. And of course, my New

Year's resolution is to stop robot

hamsters from ruling the world! At least

for now. Um, good.

Okay, uh, time for a fashion show!

Yes, yes, yesYou all look lovely for the

present. I, on the other hand, am dressed

for the future! Okay, so we're

dressed up, snacks are ready, decorations

in place. Is that it?It sort of doesn't

feel like enough for the biggest party of

the year. Trust me, guys. It'll be more

than enough. Your mom's right, Frankie.

New Year's Eve always flies by. You never

get to do half the stuff you planned. I

don't know, Dad. My teacher says I am

full of energy. You don't say.

Well, you'd better head up and nap if you

still want to have some energy left at

midnight. It's already three o'clock. Aw,

but, Mom, I'm not even tired. Frankie,

do you want to party or not?I

want to party.

How's anybody supposed to sleep at a time

like this?Totally.

I'm way too... I excited

to. Eh, keep it down, ladies. Some of us

are trying to be professionals. There has

to be more stuff out there to do on New

Year's. We're just not looking hard

enough. Well, Frankie, the math. I know,

but New Year's is just hours away. Oh,

we're not ready. I'm with you, Frankie.

There's got to be more New Year's

traditions out there that we haven't

found yet. See?There's all

kinds of stuff here. Wow. I

bet Mom and Dad haven't even heard of

half this stuff. It says here that in

some places, they pour molten lead in icy

water, and the seep it forms predicts

your fortune for the coming year. Mom,

where's our

molten lead?And what's molten lead?

Sorry, we're all out of molten lead. And

aren't you supposed to be napping?

I... I am.

Phew. Nice cover. It says here that

to celebrate New Year's in some parts of

Africa, they throw furniture out the

window. Entirely reasonable.

Think she's napping yet?

That sounded like a bed.

Frankie! Can't answer. Napping.

Okay, no matter what this one says, let's

talk it through before you throw anything

else out the window. No deal. Weird.

Apparently, there's also something called

a New Year's baby, where someone wears a

diaper to symbolize the birth of a new

year. Oh. Well, I like my

fancy outfit, so... Do

not look at me. Diapers aren't adequate

attire for time travel. Well, I am not

wearing a diaper. Me neither.

Awesome. Nice New Year's baby

costume, Joan. Costume?I just don't want

to miss out on any fun tonight by being

stuck on a bathroom break.

Gross. Well, now I think

we're ready. So it's time to take my nap

in. Time for dinner, Frankie. Hope you

got your nap in, 'cause midnight's still

a long way away. Well, no time for a nap

now. It's time to get this party

started.

Nothing wrong with the chunk in that

trunk.

Wow, I am stuffed.

Great dinner. Now can we party?All

right, you and the zoos can be excused to

get your party going. Yeah! Thanks, Mom

and Dad. New Year's! New Year's! New

Year's! New Year's! New Year's! New

Year's! New Year's! How late you

think she'll make it?No nap and stuffed

full of Chinese food?Ah, 10, 1030 tops.

Um, there's something in here you guys

should probably see.

Oh, that's my girl. Oh,

maybe next year. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa. Frankie worked so hard for this.

Yeah, she'll be so sad if she doesn't see

New Year's. Well, it

looks like we have some work to do if

Frankie's gonna ring in the New Year.

I'll take the party animal to her room.

You guys get started.

She's waking up. She's waking up. It's

the clock. We didn't change it.

Just in time for a countdown.

What's going on?What

time is it?Oh, no. Did I miss Frankie?

It's time. It's time for the countdown.





Oh, the future.

You've all aged horribly. Happy New

Year, sweetie.

We love you. I can't believe I stayed up

until... How did I end up in...

Oh.

Thanks, everybody.

Can I change my New Year's resolution?Of

course. What too, sweetie?To

always nap before a party.

Near the roots, underfoot, find the axe

to dig for loot.

HmmYouch. Toughest clue yet. I don't

know, Frankie. I think your mom's got us

beat on this one. Oh, she'll get it. You,

I'm not so sure about.

Come on, Zeus, we can do this. We've

already found two out of three treasures.

Ta-da! A mallet and a clamp. You call

those treasures?How about a pie?Now

that'd be a treasure. Near the

roots. Roots!

Like you find under a tree. Come on! Oh,

boy. Frankie's onto something.

Aha! X marks the proverbial spot.

Phew!It's so exciting. I

can't stand it. Please be tasty. Please

be tasty. It's a pipe wrench.

Whoo-hoo! We found all three treasures.

Well done. Though I believe the clues

were too simple. Where was the challenge,

Ellen?The clues weren't

the problem. It was the treasures.

OK, OKLet's head home. After dinner, can

we-- Dinner?Fast bed. OK.

Ta-da! Who's up for another awesome day

of treasure hunting?This kid. That too.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry. Your dad and I have

a full day of work today. No problemo.

We'll play after work. Oh, we can't

tonight. We've got tickets to see our

favorite band, Cold Pipe.

We'll do it again this weekend, though,

okay?Sure. Okay.

Hey, I know. Jigsaw puzzle, huhHuh

No thanks, Pipsqueak. Ooh, let's knit.

Knitting's fun. I don't feel much like

knitting. Pizza throwing contest?Sorry,

guys. I had my heart set on some more

treasure hunting. Hmm

How about bowling?Arts and crafts?Pancake

flipping contest! Ahem!

Attention, fun seekers! I have taken it

upon myself to hide a new treasure for

you to uncover! A treasure hunt?For

real?Oh, Scruggles, this is great! Oh, it

will be. I've written a clue that even

I would find challenging.

Challenge, smallenge! What's the treasure?

As per your request, I have hidden

something delicious. You've got my

attention. It's supposed to be a

surprise, but I hid the cookie jar!

You won!

No, no, no No

I used to do this. And then I'd

do this. And then I'd-- nom nom nom

nom nom.

Woo-hoo! Come on, Chunk. You can eat a

real cookie when we find the treasure.

Treasure hunters, here is your clue.

Up and down, back and forth. This place

is fun.

HmmThe swings at the park. Wee!

Let me know when you find my cookies.

This place is fun! So why can't I

find any treasures?Whoa, watch it, Chunk.

It's not here, is it?It is

not. Okay, then.

Where else could it be?

Up and down. The bouncy castle!

Anything?Nuh-uh. Nothing!

Me neither! Whoa! Huh

Whoa! Whoa!

It isn't here either, is it?No.

Let's see. Back and forth. The skate

park. Have

you?Gina?Cookie?

Jar?

How can you laugh at a time like this?

I'm shocked that none of you have figured

it out yet. This clue could mean all

sorts of things. It's really hard.

Rocket science is hard. This is

easy. huh Up and

down, back and forth, this place is fun.

It's clearly...

That could mean anything. Squiggles, can

you give us an easier clue?We've been out

here for hours. I could just take you to

the treasure. Connie, yes, do that.

Fine, this way. Try to keep up.

That clue was supposed to lead us to this

old clock?Of course. The

weights go up and down. And

of course, we all know that time goes

back and forth. Um.. And the

fun part?

Yes! What fun!

No part of your clue works on any level.

Not true. Explain yourselves. Time

moves forward, not backward. A clock is

not a place. Clocks aren't fun. Not like

knitting. Never hide cookies. Never! I'll

agree. Your treasure is...

here. Where?Where is it?Ah,

yes, I remember now. I was going to put

it in here, but it didn't fit, so I

decided to put it somewhere

else. It escapes me now, but this is

where the clue should have led you. So

your clue, even if we had figured

it out, wouldn't have led us to where the

cookie drawer is actually hidden. Oh

dear, I've ruined the game, haven't I?

Cookie drawer.

What?It's okay, Squiggles. I still had

fun. Frankie, is that you?Come upstairs

for a minute. Coming, Mom. Don't

worry, Chunk. It's bound to turn up

sooner or later. It's out there,

somewhere, lost and alone, full of

cookies. So many delicious

cookies. Whoa!

Who are you?And what have you done with

my parents?Awesome, right?Gotta look

our best for Gold Pipe. When the

babysitter gets here, you can order

pizza, OK?Totally. I want double cheese,

double seeds, triple chocolate. Yuck.

I could not be more excited right now.

Where are the tickets?I didn't want to

lose them, so I put them in the cookie

jar. Uh, come on, guys. Let's go play the

emergency meeting game. But if the

tickets are in the cookie jar... I'm

insane in the dream

for you. I'm clipping my

heart down, baby

We gotta find that cookie jar. Now!

That's what I've been saying. I am so

sorry. I really can't remember where

I hid it. If we're going to find that

jar, we need to think like Squiggles.

Great plan, Pips. I'll get the belt.

I must say, you all look smashing. Now,

everyone move like Squiggles. Think like

Squiggles. Be Squiggles.

Smashing hamster of science.

Never been tested. I don't

really sound like that, do I?Aha! As

a hamster of science, I believe I put the

cookie jar in outer

space. No, I'd remember that. And there

is no outer space. It's just space. Does

no one listen to me?Okay, my turn.

Space. Interesting. Science.

Hooray!Should I be

flattered or insulted by theseimpressions?

Definitely insulted. It is the

esteemed hypothesis of this hipster that

I hid the cookie jar in. The future.

Fascinating. So, do we just sit and

wait for the future?Um.. No.

Time travel is impossible... for now.

Okay, num-nums, you're up. Hi,

I'm, uh, Squiggles.

Obviously, the belt,

so... You sound nothing

like me. So, I'm... I

hid the cookie jar here in my belt.

No, don't!

I've been working on my Squiggles

impression, but it's not quite show-ready

yet. So... I do a k*ller Num

Nums. I'm Num Nums! I

love to knit! Bam! Wanna get the chat?

Guys, we're trying to think like

Squiggles, remember?To figure out where

he put the cookie jar?But how will

thinking like Squiggles help if the real

Squiggles doesn't even know?Good

point. We were out of time anyway. Better

go tell Mom and Dad we lost their

tickets. And tell them to go to the store

and buy a new cookie jar. Chunk. That's

it. I hid it in the cookie jar

store. We need to hurry. Let's do

this.

No cookies. No, no cookies. No, no

cookies! Happens all the time. I keep

telling my boss we need to put cookies in

them or people will lose it.

No cookies. No cookies.

No cookies. No,

no, no

Cookies!

Tastes like home. Cookies!

We gotta move!

I'll just get the ticket. Hey, hey

Looking good! HuhPerfect

timing. That must be the sitter.

Whoo! Goldbite, here we come!

Have a great night, honey. Uh, has anyone

seen my keys?Attention, treasure hunters.

I have hidden your keys. Here is your

clue. In and outFront and

back. This is a clue. Aw. You might want

to call a taxi.
