[♪♪]

Wish I could be playing
in the snow right now.

EMMY:
You can.

Everybody in Dragon Land is
going to Icicle Park today.

Yeah.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

Come on, Zak.
Don'’t be that way.

[GASPS]

Hi, guys.
Are you ready for the snow?

Hm.

Sure doesn'’t
look that way.

What'’s going on,
Ord?

Well, see, what
happened was--

Was Wheezie broke
my new snoot flute.

Gosh, Wheezie,
why'’d you do that?

I didn'’t. I mean...

I was just looking
at the flute,

but then I put it down
to pick some dragonberries.

They'’re in season, you know.
And then I, uh...

I kind of stepped
on the flute.

I told Zak
I was really sorry.

It was an accident.

Why won'’t you accept
Wheezie'’s apology, Zak?

She said she'’s sorry.

And that it was
an accident.

Wheezie was playing
with my flute,

and that wasn'’t an accident.

Come on, everybody.

Bet you Icicle Park is perfect
for playing right now.

[EXCITED CHATTER]

You two are coming,
aren'’t you?

Well, I am.

If a certain someone
tags along,

I suppose
I can'’t stop her.

Oh, Zaky.

Next stop, Icicle Park.

Definitely.

See, Zak, this is
gonna be more fun

than a barrel full
of dragon monkeys.

BOTH:
Whoa!

[SCREAMING]

What do you call
this game, Zak?

I don'’t call it anything,

because I'’m not
doing anything.

You'’re not?

Then why are we--?

[BOTH SCREAM]

[GRUNT]

Whee!
Whoa!

Quetzal?

[GASPS]

He'’s all frozen.

[CHUCKLES]
Indeed I am.

He'’s frozen,
but he can still talk.

Don'’t worry, niños.
I'’m fine.

I am carving
an ice sculpture.

A self portrait.

I call it... uh...

"Self-Portrait."

It looks just like you.

Wait'’ll Zak and Wheezie
see this.

Where are they
anyway?

[ZAK AND WHEEZIE SCREAMING]

[CRACKING]

[WHEEZIE GASPS]

We broke Quetzal.

Not quite.

I am still
in one piece, niños.

[SIGH]
But as for my statue...

We are so sorry.

It was an accident.

I know.

I accept your apology.

See how it'’s done?

Accepting an apology.

Is that so hard?

Hm.

How come you two
crashed like that?

Ask him.

Well, I certainly
don'’t know.

Hm. I think I do.

You are holding a grudge.

You better believe it.

[CHUCKLES]
Me and you, Zak.

Pals forever.

Where'’d he-- Uh, it.
--come from?

A grudge is what
you are holding

when you won'’t forgive someone
for a wrong you feel

has been done to you.

Like Wheezie breaking
Zak'’s snoot flute.

How long does a grudge
stick around?

That is up to Zak.

But a word of advice.

If you don'’t talk
your problem out,

the grudge
will never go away.

It will keep
weighing you down

and make you and
everyone around you

more and more
miserable.

Blah, blah, blah.

Who are you gonna believe?
Him or your own feelings?

Do I make you feel miserable,
Zak, old buddy, old pal?

Well, I was already
feeling miserable.

And you know
just how I feel.

Case closed.

Well, niños.

I am off to find
another block of ice

to start
a new sculpture.

I shall call it
"Self Portrait Number Two."

I hope you will decide to
get rid of your grudge, Zak.

And sooner,
rather than later.

We know you'’re
angry at Wheezie,

but don'’t you want to do
something about your grudge?

Yeah, Zaky.
Come on.

Let the grudge go.

I said I was sorry.

Well...

She has got to be kidding.

She broke
your snoot flute.

That'’s totally,
completely unforgivable.

You'’re right.

Well, all I know is,

we came here to skate,
so how about it?

Last one to the ice pond
is a rotten dragon egg.

[GIGGLES]

This is slippy,
slidy fun.

It sure is.

Whoa!

I just need to work
on my balance a bit.

[GIGGLES]

You'’re doing
great, Cassie.

A little more practice
and you'’ll be--

Hey, hey, slow down!
We'’re getting all--

It'’s not me.

Whoo-hoo!

I can'’t look.

BOTH:
Whoa!

[BOTH SCREAM]

All right, Zaky.

Two is company, but a grudge
is definitely a crowd.

That grudge
has got to go.

It'’s ruining
your day,

just like Quetzal
said it would.

It'’s ruining
everybody'’s day.

Well...

I guess
you'’d better leave.

Your lips say, "yes, yes", but
there'’s a "no, no" in your eyes.

My eyes and every
other part of me say

I need to warm up.

Hey, we can thaw out
in that Glow Cave.

As long as there'’s
nothing scary inside.

Glow caves are always
so toasty and warm.

Feels nice.GRUDGE: Yeah.

This is living.

Huh, Zakerooni?

Uh, I guess.

Go on, shoo.

Zak doesn'’t want you
around him anymore.

Is that so?
I'’m still here.

Not for long.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

[SIGHS]
The grudge won'’t budge.

Way to go, Zak-a-tola.

You really showed those wimps
how to hold on to a grudge.

Hm.

I'’m not holding the grudge.

It'’s holding me.

Yeah, right you are.

Because you don'’t really want
to forgive Wheezie.

Do you?

Remember what
Quetzal said, Zak?

It'’s up to you.

You'’re the only one who can
get rid of your grudge.

So, what can I do?

Why don'’t you
think of some

of the nice things
Wheezie'’s done in the past?

Uh-huh.

I can'’t remember
any right now.

You tell them.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Well, remember when she
helped you learn to catch

a Sackberry Ball?

Or how patient she was
teaching you to swim.

Or how about--?

Don'’t wimp out,
Zakmeister.

Remember the broken
snoot flute?

It'’s trashed, wrecked,
totaled.

And she shouldn'’t have
been playing with it

in the first place.

Yeah.

I don'’t get it, Zak.

First you wanna get rid
of the grudge, then you don'’t.

I really do want
to get rid of it.

It'’s just that

I don'’t know how
to stop being angry.

Now what else
did Quetzal say?

It'’s important
to "walk it out."

I think that was
"talk it out."

Oh, yeah.

[GIGGLES]

Fine,
I'’ll talk it out.

I'’m really mad at you,
Wheezie.

Ooh, good plan.

Keep talking it out,
Zackster.

I'’m loving this.

Maybe walking it out
would'’ve been better.

There has to be something
else you'’re feeling

besides just mad,
Zak.

Well...

I suppose I feel
kind of... hurt.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy on the honesty stuff,
big guy.

Just stay angry,
it'’s a lot easier than--

Oh, quiet, you.

Keep going, Zak.

How come you feel hurt?

Well, because...

Wheezie
broke my flute,

and that showed she
doesn'’t care about my stuff.

And that means...

you don'’t care about me.

How could you
think that, Zaky?

I care about you
bunches.

Well, that'’s why...

I'’ve been trying to fix
this thing all day.

Every spare minute.

Guess I didn'’t do
a very good job of it.

What'’s that on the end?

It'’s your slippy string.

You love that string, Wheezie.

Not as much as I love you.

Oh, no.

You really went to all this
trouble...for me?

You really do care.

Of course I do, silly.

We'’re brother and sister,
pals forever...

Hey, that'’s my line.

What is happening here?

Whoa!

Aw, nuts.

I thought I'’d finally be staying
in one place for a while.

[ALL CHEERING]

[GIGGLING]

This is much more fun

now that we don'’t have
a grudge weighing us down.

You said it.

Having fun is fun,

but seeing you two having fun
is even more fun.

Guess you forgot all about
Wheezie wrecking your flute,

huh, Zak?

Oops.

Hello, Zaky.

Give me a wing to climb on.
What do you say?

I'’ll give you a wing.

Hey!

Love it!

And I love you too, Zaky.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

[SIGHS]
It'’s good to be back

in a nice warm room.

Yeah. But I wish there was
an ice park here we could go to.

How about we ask Mom if
we can have some ice cream

and go to the park?

Love it!

[LAUGHS]

[♪♪]

[MAX IMITATES HORSE WHINNYING]

[WHINNIES]

Max, we'’re supposed to be
putting our toys away.

I am.

[TINKLING]

Hey, the dragons
are calling us.

Let'’s go.

Well, as long as we finish
cleaning up when we get back...

Mm-hm.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

Max, Emmy.

Hi, Ord, Cassie.

Zak, Wheezie.

What'’s going on?

Follow me, everybody.

This is going to be
so much fun.

What is it?The amusement park.

There'’s a new ride.

We knew you wouldn'’t
want to miss it.

What is it?
A Ferris wheel?

A roller coaster?

Zoom, zoom, zoom.

All we know is that the park
has something brand-new.

[♪♪]

CASSIE: Look.ZAK: It'’s a fun house.

Love it!

Wow.

Uh, what'’s a fun house?

You walk through dark rooms
filled with surprises

and cool, creepy stuff.

I can'’t wait.

Me neither.

Dark rooms?

Hurry up, Ord.

You go in two
at a time.

Um...

Ord? Don'’t you want
to go inside?

Yes, I do.

But... But I can'’t.

It'’s too dark.

And I don'’t know
what'’s in there.

What'’s the matter?

Ord doesn'’t want
to go inside.

CASSIE:
It'’s too dark.

That'’s okay,
Ordy Pordy.

Hey, we can all ride
the coaster instead.

No, no.

I want to go inside
the fun house. I really do.

It'’s just that...

You'’re scared.

I don'’t want
to be scared,

but I don'’t know
how not to be scared.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I could hold
your hand.

That way you'’ll know I'’m right
next to you the whole time.

That'’s a good idea.

Hm.

I feel less
scared already.

We'’ll wait for you two
out here.

What'’s that?

A spider web?No, Ord,

it'’s just a few
pieces of string.

That'’s the fun
in fun houses.

The little things
that surprise you.

[GIGGLES]

You'’re doing great, Ord.

Yeah, I am.

Thanks, Em...

[SCREAMS]

What? Hey.

[GROANS]

What happened, Ord?

Didn'’t holding
Emmy'’s hand help?

A little,

until I saw
a huge monster.

You were just looking at
yourself in a funny mirror, Ord.

It made you
seem huge.

Really?

I love fun house mirrors.

The glass is a gas.

Funny for you, maybe.
Not for me.

Why don'’t you try closing
your eyes this time?

Then you won'’t see
anything too scary.

Hey, that might work.

Don'’t be scared, Cassie.

It'’s only string.

[LAUGHS]

What is it?

We look funny
in the mirror.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

It'’s just like being
in a storm with lightning.

And thunder.

Oh, no!

Whoa!

[♪♪]

Oh!

Too scary.

Ord, how could
it be scary

if you were holding
Cassie'’s hand

and your eyes
were closed?

I heard scary noises
and thunder.

Maybe Wheezie
was right,

let'’s go on to
some other ride.

No, I want to have fun in
the fun house like all of you.

I'’ll shut my eyes and
cover my ears this time.

Uh, Ord,

if you shut your eyes
and cover your ears...

This is going to work.

Ord, there'’s not much point
of going into the fun house

if you can'’t see
or hear anything.

Oof!

I guess that won'’t work.

Oh.

I have a fantabulous idea.

Why don'’t we each
pick a partner

and get to the fun house
before Ord.

Then when
we come out,

we can tell Ord exactly
what'’s inside,

so he won'’t be
too scared or surprised.

We don'’t want to leave Ord
out here by himself.

That'’s okay.

I'’ll go on
the dragon wheel

while you'’re inside
the fun house.

I love
the dragon wheel.

Sounds like
a plan to me.

[♪♪]

So?

What happens
after the string

and the mirrors
and everything?

Tell me, tell me.

Well, there was this
squishy floor.

And-- And there was cold air
blasting right in your face.

And that net thingy.

Oh, and we slid
down a chute.

What about all those doors,
and the balls?

I still like
the funny mirrors best.

So, what
do you think, Ord?

I think I'’m ready
to try it again.

Uh...

Um, even though
you told me

what was in there,

I'’m still scared.

Wait.
I have an idea.

Why don'’t we build
our own fun house,

then I'’ll know exactly
what'’s inside.

That'’s a great idea,
Ord.

We can use
our knuckerhole.

We'’ll have to collect
a lot of stuff.

We'’ll all help.

Everybody get
something.

Well, sis?

Love it!

There'’s the dragon dump.

Bet there'’ll be plenty
of stuff there

we can use for
our fun house.

[♪♪]

Glass goes here,
paper here, plastic here.

Hi, Arlo.

Well, if it isn'’t
Ord and Max.

What brings you
to these parts?

We'’re building
a fun house.

Ooh, great idea.

Here, let me help.

I know where all
the best stuff is.

Like this fireplace bellows.

You use it to keep
a fire going,

but it would be perfect for
a windy fun house surprise.

[GIGGLES]

A blast of air.

We'’ll take it.

[♪♪]

[GIGGLES]

Whee!

Whee!

[GIGGLES]

[LAUGHS]

All finished.

You ready, Ord?

I guess so.

Remember, Ord,

everything in our fun house,
we put there.

It'’s just made out
of the stuff we collected.

You'’ll step on
squishy old pillows.

Get tickled on the head
by a bird.

Feel a blast of air
from the fireplace bellows.

And slide down
the hollowed-out log.

Right.

Let'’s go.

Fun house, here I come.

Looks pretty dark in there.

It'’s supposed to,
that'’s how we built it.

Remember?

Will you hold my hand,
little buddy?

Of course.

Oh, the floor
feels funny.

It'’s the old pillows.

[GIGGLES]

Right, the pillows.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, it'’s just the birdie.

[GIGGLES]

Look, it'’s...

Us.

[BOTH LAUGH]

This is fun.

Let'’s go again.

And again...

[LAUGHS]

Lumpy floor.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Yippee![ZAK LAUGHS]

Love it!

Me too.

Are you ready to try
this fun house now, Ord?

This fun house?

I'’m not sure.

That'’s how you felt

before you went in
the fun douse we built too.

And you had
a great time in there.

I sure did.

Let'’s go.

Do you want
to hold my hand?

No.

But stay
very close to me.

[ORD SCREAMS]

Sorry.

This fun house is just
too scary for me.

There'’s no rush, Ord.

You can go in when
you are good and ready.

You know, I wouldn'’t mind
going back to our fun house.

Me neither.

Come on, everybody.
Let'’s go.

Definitely.

Yeah. We put the fun
in fun house.

WHEEZIE:
Our fun house rules!

MAX AND EMMY:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

Before we clean up,

can we turn our play room into
the biggest fun house ever?

Okay, but we need
to clean up after

or it won'’t be fun
for Mom.
