The only pizza restaurant

run by me, Peg! And
my pizza-preparing pal, Cat!

- Hello.
- Today is a really special day
at Peg's Pizza Place,

because our super-favorite,
coolest customers are
out there right now

waiting for their pizza pies!
(gasping)
- You mean--

- That's right!
The teenagers are here!

- Teenagers are so cool!

- That's Mac,
our chef!

- Two pizzas coming out!

- Ramone makes sure
Peg's pizzas are perfect.

- Cheese. Sauce. Crust.
These pizzas are perfect!

- Now it's up to Cat and me
to put 'em on the trays and
take 'em to the teenagers!

- One small pizza,
one large pizza.

(phone ringing)
Peg's Pizza Place,
where the pizzas are perfect.

(gasping)
- Oh no! We put the
small pizza on the big tray

and the big pizza
on the small tray!

So the big pizza's bending! The
cheesy goop is about to drip!

We've got
a BIG PROBLEM!

What do we do?

- I don't know!
- Why are we running?

- I don't know!
- Catch it!

Phew! We got the big pizza
on the big tray,

and the small pizza on the small
tray! How did we do that?
- I don't know!

- However we did it, we did it!

So let's take these perfect
pizzas out to the teenagers!

Sometimes I call teenagers
teens for short.
- It saves time!

- Thanks, Peg and Cat.
- This pizza is so rockin'!

- Did she say our pizzas are
rockin'? We try to make them
as rockin' as we can!

- So Peg, our friend Jonah's
coming by and it's his birthday,

so could you, like,
make him a birthday cake?
- With, like, three layers?

- And, like, creamy
vanilla frosting?

- We can definitely
do that, teenagers!

- We'd do anything
for the teens!

- Can you guys believe I'm ?

That's a and then a , hello!

- Um, Peg, isn't there something
we need to get the teens...

something with layers?

- What we need is pictures
of us with the teens!

You take my picture
and then I'll take yours!

- Can you believe I'm ?

- You guys need me to bake
anything? I got nothin'

- I feel like there's something
we need Mac to bake...

- What we really need Mac
to do is take a video
of us serving the teens!

- Now you're years
older than I am.

- We ordered you, like,
this amazing cake.

(gasping)
- The cake!

- Is the cake almost ready, Peg?
- Cake?
- Yup, almost ready!

- Nearly ready!
- We just have to finish it...

- And start it!
- And it'll be totally done!

We've got to make a -layer
vanilla frosted birthday cake
for the teens,

and when teenagers want
something, they want it
right away!

We've got a REALLY
BIG PROBLEM!

- One, two, three layers
of cake. Ready for the oven.

- Three layers. Goin' in!

- Cat and I are ready
to slather on the icing
the second the cake comes out!

- Oh, we'll slather!

- Cake comin' out!
- Cake lookin' great!

- ♪ Slather, slather, slather! ♪

- Oh Peg, Jonah's sister texted
me that Jonah loves blueberries
and strawberries,

so could you, like,
put some on the cake? Thanks!

- We've gotta top the cake
with blueberries!
- And strawberries!

- Slather, slather--
- Cat! You can't just
dump on the toppings!

We have to make the cake
look really nice for the teens!

So put on your kitchen gloves,
and we'll arrange the berries
in a really cool pattern!

- Uh...
- You forgot how
to make a pattern?

- Ha, ha, ha!
Oh no... yes.

- To make a pattern...
♪ You put stuff
in a certain order ♪

♪ And repeat it again
and again and again! ♪
For instance...

♪ Blueberry, blueberry
- Strawberry! ♪

- ♪ Blueberry, blueberry
- Strawberry! ♪

- ♪ Best design you ever...
- Saw-berry! ♪

- ♪ Blueberry, blueberry
- Strawberry! ♪

- ♪ Put stuff in a certain order
and repeat it again and
again and again! ♪

♪ And again! ♪

- Two blueberries followed by
one strawberry. Great pattern!

But there's
something missing

right here... Blueberry,
blueberry, then there's a space!

- Where there should be...
- A strawberry...

- I see the problem...
on Cat's head!

- When I squeezed the strawberry
in my hand, it must have
skwooshed out!

Ha, ha, ha! Skwoosh! Ha, ha, ha!

- Hey Peg, Jonah's brother
and sister and cousin are here,

so could you, like, bring
the cake out now? Thanks!

- Cake time!
- You guys put the candles
on the cake. I'll go out there

and bring down the lights
so everyone can see
the birthday cake glow!

- One candle!
- One candle!

- Two!
- Two!

- How many do we need
altogether?
- I don't know!

- How old is the birthday boy?
- I don't know!

- Doesn't the number of candles
have to be his age?
- Yeah!

- How can we get
the right number of candles
if we don't know his age?

- We can't!
- How can we give
our coolest customers

a cake with the wrong
number of candles?
- We can't!

- What am I about
to start totally doing?

- Freaking out?

(whistling)

- Cat's right. I should count
backwards from to calm down.

Five, four, three...

- [Now you're years
older than I am.]

- That's it,
you amazing genius Cat!

- Huh?
- Mora's .
It says so on her shirt!

If Jonah's years older
than Mora, his cake
should have Mora's age...

Plus more candles,
since he's years older!

This has gotta be
the most incredible toy

in the entire universe!
I'm Peg, and this is Cat,

and we're visiting
the Purple Planet

to check out our friend
Richard's awesome new
tech toy, the I-Sky!

- ♪ Can't wait
to try that I-Sky! ♪

- It's this super powerful
remote control

that moves stars and moons
and anything in the sky

into patterns!
- Blue star!

Red star! Blue star!

Red star!
- Wow!

- Pretty pattern, right?
- It's an amazing pattern,
Richard.

- I guess I'm just really good
at pattern making!

- Check out the pattern
Cat's making with planets!

Blue, blue, red, red,

blue, blue, red, red!

- (crying) Cat's pattern

is better than mine!
I'm not the best at anything!

- Ho boy...
- Cat's pattern's great,

and your pattern's great,
Richard!
- Really?

- Sure! Now check out
this idea I just had.

Blue moon, red moon, red moon.

Blue moon, red moon, red moon!

- Pretty!
- Whoa!

- Blue moon, red moon...

- I don't see another
red moon in the whole sky!

- Neither do I!

I've got a BIG PROBLEM!

- You must feel
really bad, Peg!

- It is frustrating...

- Like you're just not good
at anything ever, right?

- Well...
(gasping)
You did it again,

you amazing Cat! You brought
a red moon from way out in
space to complete my pattern!

Blue, red, red, blue, red, red,

blue, red, red!

- (crying) It's way
prettier than mine!

- Oy yoy yoy!

- But I couldn't have done it
without your I-Sky!
- So I helped!

- We all helped. And so...

Cat? Did you send that red moon
crashing into our spaceship?
- Oopsies.

- We need our spaceship
to get home.

So we've got
a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!

- It's one problem after
another with you two!

- It's Ramone! And uh...

- My helper! Ooh!
So what happened here?

- Our spaceship is
kind of totally broken.

Any chance you could
give us a ride home?

- Sorry, Peg, but I'm going
to be in space for a while,

collecting space rocks that
make you turn different colors.

But don't worry. I designed
your spaceship myself!
- You did?

- It's just a bottom and a top
joined by a central core.

- Whoa!
- The outer wall is all
that needs to be finished...

And this diagram shows how!

- You really think
we can finish putting
the ship together ourselves?

- Sure you can. I'll even
leave you my helper!

- Thanks, Ramone!
- I do what I can!

- Hi, Ramone's helper! I'm Peg!
- I'm Richard!

And this is Richard's blanky!
Which I never use.

- (both): The pig?!

- You're Ramone's helper?
- This helper

won't be very helpful.
- It's okay!

This diagram makes
everything easy!

These big pieces go
across the front of the ship.

- Like they're the ship's
clothes--
- And without them,

the ship is naked!
(giggling)
- Naked!

- But the only way
they'll fit together

is if the shapes painted on them
go in a certain pattern:

♪♪ Triangle, pentagon,
triangle, square ♪

♪ Triangle, pentagon,
triangle, square ♪

- Triangle what-agon?

- Pentagon! It's a shape
that has sides:

, , , , !

- And a square has...
- Four sides: , , , !

- And a triangle has...

- Three sides: , , !

This is a harder pattern than
the ones we made in the sky,

but it repeats just like
any other pattern, so
we can follow it

and build the ship! It goes...

♪ Triangle, pentagon,
triangle, square! ♪

- ♪ Triangle, pentagon,
triangle, square! ♪

- ♪ Triangle, pentagon
Here goes the square! ♪

(crying): But now
what goes there?

- ♪ You can figure it out,
Richard! Don't just despair! ♪

- ♪ Triangle, pentagon,
hm-hm-hm, square! ♪

- (singing opera): ♪ Triangle! ♪

- Even the pig
is better than me!

- Nobody's better than
anyone else, Richard!

We're all working together
to get the job done.

- I like that concept!

- ♪ Watching the shapes you know
just what goes where!
- I know! Triangle ♪

♪ It goes right there! ♪

- ♪ Triangle, pentagon,
triangle, square! ♪♪

- We went
all the way across!

- But we're still not finished.

To hold everything together,
we need yellow doohickeys.

- What are doohickeys?
- Little thingies that you don't
know what else to call!

Cat found , , , ,
yellow doohickeys!

- You're a good doohickey
finder, Cat!
- I doohickey what I can!

- But where are the rest?
(gasping)
- Look!

- Now there's
just one doohickey!
- Disappearing doohickeys!

- Wait a minute.

The doohickeys are little
and yellow, right?

- You don't think--?
- I do think!

- The one creature
on this planet

who can't resist things
that are little and yellow

is...
- (all) Big Mouth!

- He took all the doohickeys
and stuck them in his fur!

- Give us back our doohickeys!
- You doohickey robber!

One, two!

(grunting)
Three, four!

(grunting)

Five, six, seven!

Eight, nine, ten!

(yelping)

- (all): Boo!
(gasping)
- Fifteen doohickeys!

We just need one more
to make !

- Give us that last doohickey,
you big Big Mouth!

- Is Big Mouth dancing?
- Oh, Big Mouth loves to dance!

- Ahh!

Ta-ta!

- He got away!
- Doo! Hickey.

- Maybe doohickeys
will be enough

to hold the ship together.
- Do it, doohickeys!

- One, , , , ,

, , , , , ,

, , ,

doohickeys in place!

We don't need the last
doohickey after all!

Our spaceship
is solid

as a wall!
- Or not!

- No!! The ship won't stay
together without every
single doohickey,

but we'll never get that last
doohickey back from Big Mouth,

so we'll never get
our spaceship back together!

I am totally freaking out!

(whistling)
Cat's right.

I should count backwards
from to calm down.

Five, four,

three, two,

one!

That's it! You did it again,

you amazing genius!

Big Mouth loves to dance!

If we do a really cool dance,
he'll come join us

and we can get the last
doohickey! But what dance
should we do?

Should we... jump up and down?

- Maybe... shake
our bottoms?

- How about if we shake, shake,
flap, flap, shake, shake, jump!

Shake, shake, flap, flap,
shake, shake, jump!

That's a good pattern for
a dance, right? Too flashy?

- Richard, you're amazing
at making up dances!

- Oh, I love making up song
and dance numbers! It's easy!

- Easy for you, maybe!

- I always want to do a dance,
but I can never think

of what dance to do!
- You mean...

- That's right, Richard!
We finally found something
that you're totally the best at!

- Nobody's any better
than anyone else, Peg.
We're all working together

to get that doohickey back.
