[Kodi reading]

Those stars look so cool, Summer.

Thanks!

Now I can wish upon a star
whenever I want.

Star power!

Makes me wish I had the top bunk.

But don't you love your bear den?

Yeah, but I want stars.

Wanna switch?

No way!

I like having the bird's-eye view.

-[groans]
-Here. Now you have stars.

Make a wish.

That's not what I meant, Summer.

Come on, please?

Uh-uh.

This is my bird nest.

That's not a thing. Eddy, tell her.

[Summer] It's my nest. Right, Eddy?

Uh, I love you both equally.

-Haku, Rangers!
-Ah! Phew.

What are you still doing here?
You forget? It's a big day in Spirit Park.

[grunts]

Every day is a big day in Spirit Park,
but today we mean it literally.

Our first moose spirit has arrived.

Yep, yep. I'll lead the way.

You feeling okay?

-I've never seen a turtle move this fast.
-But my bunk bed.

You mean my bunk bed?

No time for arguing. Let's go.

Where's the moose spirit? Did we miss him?

[chuckles] Not possible. Look.

[gasps] These are giant moose prints.

Quick, let's follow his trail.

-[gasps]
-[rumbling]

[dramatic music playing]

[all] Wow!

[groaning] Oof.

Haku! We're the Spirit Rangers.

I like your outfit.

Welcome to Samala Chumash territory,
or, as we call it, California.

Hi, Spirit Rangers.
I'm Deneege, the Athabascan moose spirit.

I can't believe I'm really here.

Who gives surfing lessons?

Everything's frozen in Alyeska,
and I wanna learn how to hang ten.

[chuckles] Well, hang eight.

Is this your first time in California?

Yes. I've heard all about it.
My friend says it's perfect for me.

I love my willow thicket back home,
but I can't resist something better.

Oh, I bet everything is better here.

-[song fades]
-[Moose chuckles] Yay!

So, now that I've left Alyeska,
where should I stay?

-We'll help.
-I know. Follow us.

[chuckles]

It's the perfect height
for moose-y midnight snacks: leaves.

And a bugfet.

[munching]

Want some?
I've still got about half in here.

[shudders] I think
I'll stick with the leaves.

Ah. Eh?

[sniffs] Ew. What is that?

Oh, howdy, Rangers. Sorry about that.
We heard a lot of stomping around here,

and figured we'd better spray first
and ask questions later.

Ooh. Look at that fluffy tail.

-Can I touch it? I wanna touch it.
-Oof. Wait!

Skunks are kind of big on personal space

and kind of big on smelly missiles
if you invade.

[chuckles] Oops, sorry. You're the first
skunk spirit I've ever met.

-I'm Deneege.
-Howdy!

You moving into our oak tree with us?
Let me get the rest of the family.

They'll surely wanna meet you.
Oh, Konih family!

[Moose chuckles nervously]

Wow, there's a lot of you.

Ooh, what's that over there?
That house looks a-moose-ing.

-I wanna live there instead.
-Ah!

[exciting music playing]

Moose-abunga!

[crashes, clatters]

[grunts] No place like home.

Are you sure this is
a good home for you, Deneege?

It's a dream home.

[Qamash] Welcome, moose-y moose!

A water monster?

Er, I mean, hello. Do'eent'aa?

Fishy joy. New neighbor.

Qamash is really friendly.
Especially when you sing.

[humming]

Music for me?

Uh, my throat's kind of sore.

[coughs]

[in raspy voice] See? Can't sing.

[groans]

Fishy sadness!

[gulps] You have some real interesting
neighbors here in Spirit Park.

-What are your neighbors like at home?
-I don't have many.

I can go a whole day
without seeing another moose.

So, let's look for a quieter place.
I'm sure there's something.

Ooh, what's that?

Wait for us!

He's so fast.

[panting] Oof. I need longer legs.

Mmm.

Cozy. It's like a hammock.

Looks like we finally found
the perfect sleeping spot for you.

Yep. This way, I'll see
the Northern Lights dance across the sky.

Sorry, Deneege, but we don't see
the Northern Lights in California.

You don't?

Oof!

-Whoa, those trees are gonna snap!
-Bear strength to the rescue!

-[roars]
-[heroic music plays]

We'll hold this one.

-[strains]
-Um…

I'll help.

I will supervise.

[both grunting]

We've got it! We've got it!

-We don't got it!
-[all gasp]

[straining]

-[both scream]
-Uh…

[screams]

[Moose] Argh. Get me out of here.

[both groaning]

-[thuds]
-[screams]

[thudding approaching]

Oh, crickets!

-[dramatic music playing]
-[Coyote and Moose groaning]

[screams]

[groans]

[grunts]

My, my, what a tangled web I weave.

Rangers, we meet again.

And hello, fellow long-legs.

-Spider!
-We could use a hand. Or eight.

[Spider] Hang tight.

[strains] We've got "tight" covered.

-[web breaks]
-[all grunt]

We're free!

Thanks, Spider.
Sorry we made a mess of your work.

Maybe moose are not made for hammocks.

[chuckles] Or webs. So long, long-legs.

With all the work we did today,
we could've built a moose-proof house.

That's a great idea.

We'll build Deneege his own house.

[magic humming]

[mysterious music playing]

My turtle toes sense
that the thicket is unoccupied.

Nice and roomy,

just like my willow thicket
back home in Alyeska.

-What else did you have there?
-Let's see.

The snow made everything
smell fresh and clean.

I do kind of miss it.

Hey, Summer, wanna shake things up?

Always!

Summery snow!

-[grunts]
-Whoo-hoo!

[strains, grunts]

I wish I could show the other moose
how cool this is.

I kind of miss seeing them.

We don't have any other moose in the park.

[gasps] But I have an idea.

Ta-da, moose!

Moo.

Wait, do moose moo?

Uh, no, that is cows. Um…

[both making strange animal noises]

-Um…
-[noises continue]

-[chuckles nervously]
-[sadly] Mm…

-What do you think, Deneege?
-It's just a little warm.

-I'd love a good roll in the snow.
-[Summer] How about some air conditioning?

-[grunting]
-[gusting]

[both yelp]

Again. Again!

[panting] Again?

Okay. Sure.

Just need…

-Hey!
-…to rest a minute.

Is it always gonna be this hot?

[panting]

If you think it's warm now,
you're really not gonna like summertime.

Wait, are you saying this is your winter?

It gets hotter?
It never gets this hot in Alyeska.

-Uh, Deneege?
-[burps]

It kind of seems like
what you want is your old home.

Are you sure you wanna live here?

I guess when my friend told me
about Samala Chumash territory,

I got carried away thinking
it would be better than where I was.

Who's your friend?
Are they from around here?

Raven. Do you know her?

-[gasps]
-Raven?!

Part of the Trickster Trio?

-[groans]
-We need to find her.

She could be up to something.

I can't believe you convinced Deneege
to move out of his willow thicket

so you could move in.

I didn't convince him.

I tricked him!

[cackles]

-[Eddy] Not so fast, Raven.
-Ah! Spirit Rangers?

Deneege?

-See you.
-You're on your own.

Uh-oh.

[inhales deeply, blows]

[caws]

[yelps, grunts]

You tricked me out of my home?

Okay, true. But don't you like it here?

Yes, I do.

I got to meet the Spirit Rangers…

-[caws]
-…see a skunk, meet a fish monster.

But there's no place like home.
I'm going back.

[caws]

-[cackles]
-Oh!

-[suspenseful music plays]
-[Qamash inhales]

-[spits]
-[caws]

No tricky tricks!

[caws]

Thanks.

-Good aim.
-Bye, Qamash.

[groans]

Just you wait.

The Trickster Trio
will trick you next time.

I better head home.

It's been great to visit,
but my heart is in Alyeska.

But I'll be back to visit again.

Bye.

-Enjoy the snow.
-See you soon.

[crickets chirping]

If you really want the top bunk,
I'll switch with you, Kodi.

-No, it's okay.
-[gentle music playing]

You just made the stars
look like so much fun.

Well, what if we put stickers
on your side of the room too?

I bet we could even find bear stickers.

Or pattern them
like the bear constellation.

Ha!

[grunting]

We should use different colors
so it looks like the Northern Lights.

[clicks]

-[all] Whoa!
-[enchanting music playing]

[Summer giggles]

Deneege would like that.

[Kodi reading]

-[exciting music playing]
-[sloshing]

Hmm! [roars]

This mural is gonna look so cool
when we finish.

Poppies are pretty,
but sure are a lot of work.

[Summer giggles]

-Ah!
-And now you're a poppy.

-[both giggling]
-Summer, I wanted to be a dandelion.

Wow, kids. The garden mural is beautiful.

[both giggle]

Reminds me of Kay WalkingStick,
the Cherokee painter.

And your poppies
are as bold as Jeffrey Veregge,

the Coastal Salish artist.

Kodi's bear is straight out
of a Robert Freeman mural.

The famous Luiseño artist.
Can't get much better than that.

Really? Me?

An artist?

[both chuckle]

[giggles] I guess I am.

Hey!

Don't get too wrapped up
in compliments, Kodi.

But I'm an artiste.

[chuckles] We'll get more paint
for all our great artistes.

[grunts]

[both chuckle]

Nice painting.

-Why, thank you.
-Thanks!

Careful, that's my masterpiece!

-I think you mean ours.
-Yeah.

We're all painting the mural for the park.

[giggles]

Hey, this is pretty good.

Has pizzazz.

But Stink Bug's is, uh, pizzazzier.

-Who's Stink Bug?
-He's--

Only the most delicious, stinkiest,

and scrumptious bug
to ever fly around the park.

He's also the best artist. [chuckles]
He's finishing his sky mural as we speak.

[both] It's amazing!

[both chuckle] Jinx!

Hmm. As the most magnificent artist
in Xus Park,

I'll be the judge of that.

Let's check it out.

Hey, hold on!

Turtles can't run that fast!

[mysterious music playing]

Whoa!

Why is the park so dark?

-Did the Fry Bread Monster eat Sunny?
-Nope.

He's taking a nap
on the other side of the world.

He'll be back in a couple hours.

By then, Stink Bug
will be finished with my sky mural.

[gasps] I love the mood lighting.

Ahem. I think you meant my sky mural.

[gasps] Your art is beautiful.

Wow!

Now that is a self-portrait.

Meh. It's okay, I guess.
Not like my art back home.

You? You're an artist?

Yup. I've been compared to
a great Luiseño artist, Robert Freeman.

Oh, like me.

I'm Stink Bug from the Luiseño tribe.

Originally the Payómkawichum,
or the "People of the West."

My Luiseño name is "$isqila."

Those in the know
call me "$isqila the Great."

[sniffs, smacks lips]

I call him delicious!

Stink bugs go great in bugsagna.

-Mm-mm!
-[scoffs]

I'm not an appetizer! I'm an artist.

Huh? [sputters]

You're not the only great artist
around here.

No, no, no, hunwut.
Moon only works with the best. Me.

-[farts, chuckles]
-[hisses]

-[Summer] P.U.!
-It wasn't me.

It was me.
My scent changes to match my feelings.

-When I'm happy, I smell like cilantro.
-[sniffs]

Sad, old bananas. Inspired, smelly socks.

Apparently, bragging is
a really stinky feeling.

[chuckles] Why, thank you.

You say you're the best.
What art have you created, hunwut?

One mural, just like you.

Ha! This is-- How you say? Pish posh.

I have an extensive catalog.

Great artists need many pieces
in their portfolios.

How else does one prepare
for an art show extravaganza?

With care.

Time, creativity.

Lunch.

Hmm. What's an art show extravaganza?

It's where an artist gets to show off
their latest masterpieces.

Wow, I want my own art show extravaganza.

I bet if we have one
right here in Spirit Park,

we can prove who's the best.

Everyone would love my magnificent art.

Ah.

Some friendly competition.

[chuckles]

[all] Huh?

Uh…

For a worthy rival.

[sighs]

Now every spirit
will enjoy my creative genius.

[farts]

-[Summer] Ah!
-P.U.!

We have to invite the whole park.
Everyone will wanna see my art debut.

Will you help? Please?

Okay. We'll pass out invitations.

But then it's back to our mural.

And the sky mural.

Sunny will be back soon,
and it's only half finished.

We have plenty of time to do both.

[chuckles confidently] Relax.
We're great artists.

Artistes.

[farts]

My claws can create anything. Can you?

Of course!

Your claws can cut,
but my feelers feel the art. [farts]

And people say I remind them of death.

Whoo-ee!

-[splatting]
-[farts]

Ah, my pottery will get the most flattery.
Can you keep up?

[coughs]

Me?

[roars playfully]

My sculptures are bear-y impressive.

-[farts]
-I'll be back when it's safe. P.U.!

[screeches]

Art show tonight!

[upbeat music playing]

[Eddy] Don't miss the art show.

Everyone's invited!

-Thank you. Sounds like a blast.
-[erupts]

[relaxing music playing]

[Eddy] See you there.

[screeches]

Blech! Stinky!
Stink Bug must be really braggy.

-[grunts]
-Art show tonight!

[giggles]

[grunting]

Don't miss the art show.

[both sniffing]

Whoo-woof!

[whimsical music playing]

-'Onokok'! Save some for our guests.
-Uh…

So lifelike.

[farts] Am I surreal?

[coughing] I can't see what I'm doing,
but I know it's breathtaking.

-[chomps]
-You got that right. I can't breathe.

Lizard! If you eat Stink Bug,
he'll never finish.

Come on, he's extra ripe!

[inhales, grunts]

My art is paw-sitively perfect.

Magnificent, if I do say so myself.

And I do.

-Every spirit has been invited.
-[sniffs]

[coughs] What in turtle toes
is that smell?

All I smell is marvelous art!

Welcome, spirits of the park.

Feast your eyes on our glory.

-Uh, where is everybody?
-[suspenseful music playing]

Uh…

-[chuckles]
-Miy! Another artist friend.

I'd love to support my fellow artists,
but this stinks.

-What?!
-Our art stinks?

Everything stinks.

[howls]

Where are all of our admirers?

And where's our art? Summer? Eddy?

[inhales, blows]

-[Eddy] Ew.
-[Summer coughing] Blech.

-P.U.!
-[coughs] Make it stop.

[Lizard] Mm-mm!

It's too stinky to stay. Hoot!

Hoo, doggie! And y'all thought…

[coughs] …we were smelly.

Even the snacks have had enough.

Rangers, we can't let
the stink cloud spread.

We have to protect our park.

-[grunts] Gotcha!
-[heroic music playing]

[roars]

Watch an expert. [farts]

[Kodi groans] Too stinky!

-[screeches] Goodbye, stink.
-[heroic music playing]

Mine's better. [farts]

[screeches] Ah!

Stinknado!

[blows] Now we're talking.

[chuckles] If I could blow bubbles,
my bubbles would be even bubblier.

No, stop. No!

[inhales deeply]

[muffled coughing] Not turtle-tastic.

[Eddy coughs]

-So tired.
-[all coughing]

Too stinky.

This is my greatest work yet!

It's superb! Unforgettable.

I shall call it "The Big Stink."

[farts] Mwah!

Stink Bug, it's you.

Your bragging
is the cause of all the stink.

Exactly. My name is Stink Bug.

The more I brag, the stinkier I get.

Well, we could have told you that.

But it's not only
that bragging is super stinky…

-It's also not fun to be around.
-[gasps]

We're sorry for being so braggy.

We got way too wrapped up in ourselves.

We put the park in danger.

[sighs]

And didn't finish one piece of art.

That is not greatness.

[sighs]

There's no time to finish.

Sunny's about to wake up.

Plus, the stars need some fresh air.

Sunny's not up yet.

If we stop bragging and get to work,
we still have time to clean things up.

And finish what we started.
