[ yawns ]

Esme:
Time for beddy-bye, Dumpling.

[ squeaks ]

- [ squeaks ]
- Here's your blankie

and your favorite pillow

and a picture of your two
favorite monster-sitters.

Ooh, ooh!
Who are they?

[ giggles ] Roy, it's us.

Aww. Nighty-night, Dumpling.

[ yawns ]

[ monster-case playing music ]

[ gasps ] We've got
a monster to watch.

[ giggles ]

We're watching Simon.

Yippee! Let's go!

Actually,
Simon's coming here

for a sleepover.

Yippee! Let's stay!

[ giggles ] Hmm.

What would make this the best
monster-sitter sleepover ever?

Esme and Roy:
[ gasps ] I know!
Indoor campout!

[ giggles ]

[ both giggle ]

[ both giggle ]

- [ Dumpling squeaks ]
- Ta-da!

[ both giggle ]

[ squeaks ]

Wow. It feels like
we're really outside.

Wait-- Are we really outside?

[ giggles ] Nope.

[ doorbell rings ]

- Simon's here!
- [ Roy giggles ]

- Esme, Roy!
- [ Grammy chuckles ]

Hi, Simon.

Welcome to our
indoor campout.

Wow.

Oh h*! What fun!

Want us to show you
around the camp site, Simon?

Yeah. Let's go check it out.

That's OK. No, thank you.

What's the matter, Simon?

Simon's excited
for a sleepover,

but he's also
a tiny bit nervous.

I've never been
to a sleepover before.

Well, you know what, Simon?

We'll take
great care of you.

- [ Roy giggles ]
- [ Simon giggles ]

And we're gonna have
so much fun, OK?

OK. Bye, Grammy.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Well, now, you have
a great time, my little Sim-y.

I just love ya.

Goodbye, monster-sitters.

Goodbye.

[ blowing kisses ]

- Esme: Bye.
- Roy: See you later.

So, Simon, what do you
want to do first?

Play in the tent?
Have a pretend boat ride?

We have s'mores.

How about we
do... everything?

[ Esme and Roy giggle ]

- [ Simon giggles ]
- Whoa!

[ Simon giggles ]

[ squeaks ]

[ Esme and Simon giggle ]

Mmm.

Huh?

[ all giggling ]

Well, it's getting late.

[ yawns ]
Time for bed.

[ yawns ]

You said it.

Simon? Don't you want to get
into your sleeping bag?

No, thank you.

Why not?

It's just...

This sleeping bag
doesn't look like my bed,

and this room doesn't
look like my room.

And I miss my Grammy.

You're feeling
a little sad, huh?

How about this?

Why don't you get
into your sleeping bag,

And then, when you're
all snug and cozy,

maybe you'll feel better.

I guess I could try that.

There. How does that feel?

Good. Comfy.

I'm glad.

All righty. Sleepy-time.

Esme:
Good night, Simon.

Simon:
Good night, Esme.
Good night, Roy.

Roy:
Good night, Simon.

[ Dumpling squeaks ]

All:
Good night, Dumpling.

Simon? What's wrong?

I can't sleep.

I miss my home...
and my room...

and my Grammy.

Sometimes, when I'm sad,

I like to cuddle up
with my friend,

Fuzzy McRoarington.

He's very fuzzy.

Wanna try cuddling
with him?

Um, OK.

[ yawns ] Thanks, Esme.

You're welcome.

[ yawns ]
It's sleepy time...

again.

Esme:
Good night, Simon.

Simon:
Good night, Esme.

Good night, Roy.

Roy:
Good night, Simon.

[ Dumpling squeaks ]

All:
Good night, Dumpling.

I still can't sleep.

[ squeaks ]

Thanks, Esme,

but I usually sleep
next to my dog Willy,

and Fuzzy McRoarington
is not Willy.

[ sighs ] I miss my dog

and my room and my Grammy.

Hmm. I know!

Maybe we can make
bedtime here

feel more like bedtime
at your house.

Ooh. Good idea,

but how do we do that?

Well, what do you
do before bedtime

at your house, Simon?

Hmm. First, Grammy always
gives me a big, six-armed hug.

A big hug?
We can do that.

- [ Esme laughing ]
- [ Dumpling squeaking ]

One, two, three, four.

That's only four arms,
not six like Grammy.

Thanks for trying, but...
it's just not the same.

OK, uh, well,

what else do you
do before bed?

After Grammy gives me a hug,

she always reads me
the same book--

"The Little Swoozle
That Could."

Ooh. That sounds
like a good one.

Do you have it?

No, but maybe we can
make up our own version.

Hmm...

Once upon a time,

there was a little Swoozle
who could...

He could do...
so many things.

What kinds of things?

Well, he could stand
on his head for five days.

[ grunts ]

Swoozles can't do that.

OK, well, get this.

The little Swoozle
could use his six arms

to do a bunch of things
all at the same time...

like play tennis...
and try on hats...

and cook monsteroni
and cheese. Mmm.

And... too much?

Thanks, Roy,
but that story's different

than the one I have at home.

[ sighs ]

I miss my home.

Is there anything else
you do before bed?

Hmm. There's one more thing.

My dog Willy
always gives me

a big slobbery
kiss good night.

Hmm. Willy's not here...

[ squeaks ]

[ gasps ] ...but Dumpling is.

[ kisses ]

Thanks for trying, guys,
but I really miss my room

and my bed and my dog
and my Grammy.

[ crying ] I, I--

I just wanna go home.

[ crying ]

Uh-oh. Monster-meltdown.

- Simon, I--
- [ blows nose ]

[ sniffs ]

I know you're feeling sad,
but I think this might help.

It's a glitter jar.
Shake it.

to fall like snow ♪

♪ Take a deep breath ♪

♪ Nice and slow ♪

[ exhales ]

♪ Watch as it settles
all around ♪

[ inhales and exhales ]

♪ And feel your body
calming down ♪

[ inhales and exhales ]

Do you feel any better?

Mm-hmm, but I'd still
like to go home.

Psst. What do you we, Roy?
Simon's still really sad.

I know. I wish we
could bring everything

from Simon's house here
to make him feel better.

[ gasps ] Uh-oh-- the tree.

[ gasps ]
Wait a monster-minute.

That's it!

What's it? What did I say?
What did I say?!

Maybe we can bring things
from Simon's house here.

[ indistinct whispering ]

Simon, I know
you're still sad,

and if you really
wanna go home,

Grammy can pick you up,

but would you mind
trying one more thing?

Like what?

How would you like
to make... a me tree?

A me tree? What's that?

It's a tree all about me.

I mean, not me-- you.

But it's called
a "me tree," not a "you tree"

because that
doesn't sound right.

Roy, let's just tell
Simon how it works.

Good idea.

[ whistles ]

Wow.

[ giggles ]

First, you draw pictures
of all the things

you miss back at home.

Then we'll hang
your drawings

from the branches
of the big tree.

That way, whenever
you miss your home,

you can look up
at your me tree,

and you'll feel better.

So what do you
think, Simon?

I think...

I wanna make a me tree.

Then get ready.

It's playtime.

♪ A me tree
is a tree for you ♪

♪ With all
your favorite things ♪

♪ And once you draw
your pictures ♪

♪ We'll hang them
here with strings ♪

♪ You can draw in any color ♪

♪ In any kind of style ♪

♪ As long as
everything you draw ♪

♪ Makes you wanna smile ♪

♪ I'll draw

Aww.

♪ My Mighty Monster books

♪ Now the me tree
has your drawings ♪

♪ Hanging from above ♪

♪ It's a monster-ific

♪ These are things I love ♪

I love my me tree!

Thanks, Esme and Roy.

I feel better now,

and you know what else?

What's that, Simon?

[ yawns ]

I'm ready for bed.

[ sighs ] Good night, me tree.

Esme:
Good night, Simon.

Simon:
Good night, Esme.

Good night, Roy.

Roy:
Good night, Simon.

[ Dumpling squeaks ]

All:
Good night, Dumpling.

Esme, what are you doing?

I'm just checking to see
if Simon's asleep.

[ chuckles ]
He's asleep, all right.

Making a me tree really helped
Simon feel less homesick,

didn't it, Roy?

- Roy?
- [ Roy snoring ]

[ giggles softly ]
Don't you just love monsters?

Esme:
"Take a Hike."

Clear skies, sunny weather...

This is the perfect day
for quackle watching.

Good thinking
with these disguises, Roy.

Thanks, but I think
mine could use a trim.

[ giggles ]

Esme:
[ gasps ] Look!
There's a quackle monster

by the picnic table.

Where? I don't see anything.

Ow!

[ quacking ]

Huh? Esme, you must
be seeing things.

There's no
quackle monster here.

- [ giggles ] Roy. [ gasps ]
- [ music playing ]

We've got a monster to watch.

Who is it? Who is it?
Who is it?!

[ giggles ] We're watching
Snuggs at the park.

[ monster-box whirring ]

[ honking ]

- Let's go!
- Hooray!

Esme, Roy!

[ Esme and Roy giggle ]

- Esme and Roy: Snuggs!
- [ Snuggs giggles ]

Don't you just love monsters?

Hi, monster-sitters.

Thanks for meeting us
at the park.

I thought it might be fun

for my little Snuggs

to go on a nature walk.

I've never been
on one before.

Nature walks
are fun, right,

not scary?

Nature walks are
tons of fun, Snuggs.

You're gonna love it.

Oh, good. I love
when I love things.

I'll be back
after my yoga class.

I'm working
on my tree pose.

Whoa! [ giggles ]

See? [ giggles ]

Bye, Snuggs. Have fun.

- Esme: Bye.
- Roy: See you later.

Bye, Mommy.

OK, Snuggs.
Ready to go?

Um, I think so.

Great. Then you'll need
a pair of binoculars.

[ gasps ] Thank you.

I love them.

[ sighs affectionately ]

Um, Snuggs?

You hold them
up to your eyes

like this. See?

[ gasps ] I do see.

I see Roy.

- [ grunting ]
- Snuggs: Roy...

what are you doing?

Oh, just looking
at this map.

I think it goes this way.

Or does it go this way?

Ah. It goes like this.

Hey.

[ Esme and Snuggs giggle ]

Here, Roy. Let me help.

Let's see. Looks like we can
follow this red trail.

Let's do this!

Whoo-hoo!

Nature, here we come.

- All right!
- Let's go!

- [ frogs croaking ]
- [ Snuggs gasps ]

What's that?

Look, Snuggs.
It's just a frog.

See?

- [ ribbits ]
- Oh. A frog.

[ sighs ]

[ gasps ] What's that?

Aww, look. It's
a cute little squirrel.

Oh. Just a squirrel.

Phew.

Come on.

Um, maybe we should stay
here for a little while...

where there aren't
any surprises.

Psst. Esme, I think Snuggs
is kind of scared.

How can we get him
to have fun on our walk?

Hmm. Maybe he'll relax

if we play a game.

Good idea. Well, where can we
find a board game around here?

Not that kind of game.

A nature game.

Hey, Snuggs.

Wanna play I Spy
with my Monster Eye?

Oh, yeah!

We'll describe
something we see,

and you can
guess what it is.

It'll be fun.

Oh, good.

It's fun when things are fun.

[ giggles ]

Great.

I spy with my monster eye...

a heart.

Hmm.

[ gasps ] I see it!

Right there on the tree trunk!

Whoo-hoo!

[ giggles ] Yep.

- You found it.
- Nice.

This tree bark's
a little scratchy,

but still huggable. Mmm.

My turn.

I spy with my monster eye...

something made of wood.

[ grunts ]

[ chuckles ] Is it this log?

Good guess,
but I was thinking

of something else
made of wood.

Hmm... Is it that bridge?

Yeah, you got it.

Whoo-hoo.

- All right!
- Yes!

- Snuggs: Let's go!
- [ Roy giggles ]

Esme, can I try giving a clue?

Of course, Snuggs.

Go for it.

I spy with my monster eye...

something fluffy.

[ chirping ]

That fluffy bird?

Nope. It's not an animal.

Try again.

[ gasps ]
Those fluffy flowers?

- You got it!
- Good one, Snuggs.

Those are called
"dandelions."

Wow. [ gasps ]

I've got another clue.

I spy with my monster eye...

a giant rock
that looks like Roy.

Oh, yeah. Over there.

Hmm. Got to admit...

that's a good-looking rock.

[ Esme and Snuggs giggle ]

Esme:
OK, my turn.

I spy with my monster eye...

something...

- [ chirping ]
- Aah!

Roy:
[ voice shaking ] Aah!

What was that?

Look, Snuggs.

It was just that
tiny bird over there.

[ chirping ]

Oh...

Just a bird.

There's nothing
to be scared of.

We're right here
with you, OK?

OK.

Which way next, Roy?

Oh, um, we just have
to take this black smear

to the brown smudge,
and that'll lead us to,

uh, more brown.

Roy, that's not a trail.

That's mud.

Oh. That explains a lot.

I don't think we can

use this map anymore.

It's too muddy.

No map?!

But how will we get back?

It's OK, Snuggs.

We'll just have to go
back the way we came.

Uh, which way was that exactly?

This way...

I think.

♪ We may not have a map,
and we may not know the way ♪

♪ But we'll try every path,
and we'll make it home OK ♪

Snuggs: OK.

♪ So there's no need to panic ♪

♪ And there's no need to worry ♪

♪ If you just stick with us ♪

♪ We'll get home in a hurry ♪

♪ So come on-- follow me ♪

♪ I am sure that you'll agree ♪

♪ This hike can be carefree
and light-hearted ♪

♪ Do you see what I see? ♪

♪ Maybe it's just me ♪

♪ But it looks like
we are right back
where we started ♪

Hey. We were just here.

Huh. You're right.

♪ Well, let's go,
come this way ♪

♪ Everything will be OK ♪

♪ We'll make sure
that this day
is loads of fun ♪

♪ Just one thing--
we're back where we begun ♪

Huh. You're right.

We're back
at the same mud puddle.

If I didn't know better,
I'd think we were--

Lost! We're lost!

[ grunts ]

[ whimpers ]
We'll never get back.

We'll be stuck out here forever.

- Roy: Whoa.
- [ Snuggs crying ]

Uh-oh. Monster-meltdown.

[ Snuggs crying ]

Snuggs, I know you're scared,

but I promise we'll
find our way back.

♪ Take a deep breath
and count to three ♪

[ both inhale and exhale ]

One, two, three.

♪ Now listen carefully
and repeat after me ♪

Say, "We will find
our way back."

We will find our way back.

Again.

We will find our way back.

♪ There we are ♪

♪ Nice and calm ♪

♪ Now we can move on ♪

Now anytime you feel
yourself getting scared,

you can say--

We will find our way back.

That's the spirit.
Now let's get going...

right after I take

one more look
at this handsome rock.

Ahh.

Hey. That's the Roy rock
from our game.

Our game?

Wait a monster-minute.

That's it!

Did you hear that, Roy rock?

That means Esme's
got a great idea.

We can play I Spy
to find our way back.

We'll just follow all
the things we saw in our game.

Hey. That is a great idea.

Told ya.

We will find our way back.

[ giggles ] Come on.

[ gasps ] The dandelions.

[ giggles ]

Ha ha!

[ Esme and Roy giggle ]

The bridge. [ gasps ]

[ frogs croaking ]

[ giggles ]

Snuggs:
The heart.

Yay!

[ giggles ]

Oh, Snuggs.

I spy with my monster eye

someone who's
excited to see you.

Hi, Snuggs.

[ gasps ] Mommy.

[ giggles ]

Did you have
a nice nature walk?

Uh-huh. I saw frogs

and dandelions

and a rock that looks like Roy.

[ chuckles ] I'm so glad
you had a good time, Snuggs.

Snuggs?

[ sighs ] I love nature.

[ giggling ]

Save room for me.

[ all giggle ]

Roy:
Good thinking
back there, Esme.

Using I Spy to find our way
home worked like a charm.

Hey, wanna play another round?

Monster-sitter style?

[ giggles ] You're on.

I spy with my monster eye...

something orange and fuzzy.

Easy. The monster-case.

[ giggles ] Yep.

I spy with my monster eye

the best monster-sitter ever.

- You. Jinx.
- You. Jinx.
