(laughing)

- Er, um...
the clown problem.

(all laughing)

Hey, funny.

(happy music)

(car honking)

- And now, welcome to the Peg...

- That is she!
- ...plus Cat...

- That is me.
- Circus!

The greatest show on Earth!

- The greatest? On Earth?

- It sounds like
I'm bragging, I know,

but I mean, check it out!

We've got an elephant
that can spin two plates.

- One, two!
- Exciting!

- A tiger that jumps
through three hoops!

- One, two, three!

- Astounding!
- A seal

that juggles one ball!

- One!
(Cat yawns.)

- Cat's right!
Watching a seal

juggle one ball is boring!

If we have a boring act,

there's no way
our circus can be

the greatest show on... Whoa!

You genius Cat, you gave
the seal another bouncy ball,

so now she's juggling
one plus one more is two!

- Which is much more
exciting than one.

- Hey, Ramone,
since adding one

makes the act better,
can we see what happens

when we add one more?
- Sure can.

- Two plus one more is three.
- Really, really!

- (Peg): Exciting-
astounding-amazing!

- I am not yawning now.

- We found a way
to make an act better

by adding one more at a time,
and so...

♪ Problem solved,
the problem is solved ♪

♪ We solved the problem,
problem solved ♪

Our circus is better
than ever now!

- The greatest-est!

- Can I be in it?
- Mac!

You wanna be in our circus?

- Uh, it's my dream.

- Well, Ramone could use help
throwing hoops to the tiger.

- I could use help
cleaning up after the elephant.

- I wanna be a clown!

- You? A clown?
- Ha! Ha! That's funny!

I mean, oh-oh
that's interesting.

- Got this Ping-Pong ball
for my nose.

- You've got a clown nose. OK...

- I got clown shoes too.
- Aren't those the same shoes

you always wear?
- Nope, this is my old pair.

They got a hole in 'em.
Ha! Ha! Ha!

- Ewww!
- Well, if it's your dream

to be a clown in the circus,
in today's show,

you're gonna live your dream!

- You really mean it?
- You bet I do!

Hey, Bonkers,
meet our new clown, Mac!

Before the show,
Bonkers likes to practice

making his funny faces.

(laughing)
- I am laughing now!

- Can you make
a funny face, Mac?

- Ah, sure thing!

Want me to do it again?
- Ah, that's OK, Mac.

You don't have to make
funny faces to be a clown,

especially if you can
fall down like Loopy.

(laughing)

- That is the good stuff
right there!

- I can fall down too, you know?

- Hm!

- Again, you seem
not to be laughing.

- I, uh, almost laughed.

- What really cracks me up
is the stunt

the clowns are practicing now
where they get into the car.

One, two, three,

four, five, six!

(Cat laughing)
- So many clowns,

so little car!
- Ho! Ho!

You think that's funny?
Watch me get into a car. Taxi!

(taxi honking)

- Interesting.

- Uh... I'm not funny
when I get into a car

or make a face or fall down.

I'm beginning to wonder if

maybe I'm not so funny.
- That's no problem

when you're a chef or a guard
or a truck driver!

- But a clown
who's not funny has a...

- (all): REALLY BIG PROBLEM!

- Almost show time, Peg.

Should we let the audience in?
- Before we do,

could you help
our new clown be funny?

- You're not funny?
- No.

- Ah! Aside from that,
he is an incredible clown.

he's not doing right!
- I sure hope he's funny!

- We're about to find out.
(all laughing)

- Oh no! A tiny chair!

(laughter)

They could not
get through that door!

- Now, it's Mac's turn!

- I guess that went
over my head.

- That's it, I'm just not funny.

I'm through with showbiz.

- Show time! Places, everybody!

- If Mac isn't in the show,
his dream will be crushed;

but if he is in the show,
and he's an unfunny clown,

the Peg and Cat Circus
will be the worst show on Earth!

I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

Cat's right,
I should count to five

by adding one at a time
to calm down.

One plus one more is two.

Plus one more is three.

Plus one more is four.
(Cat growling)

Plus one more is...

Five! Ha! Ha! Ha!

That's it, you comic genius Cat!

- Uh? Ha! Ha!

- That bucket is way too
small for your body.
- Hee! Hee! Hee!

- Your body is the wrong size
for the bucket!

- Ho! Ho! Ho!
- The wrong size...

- (both): Is funny!
- Come back, Mac.

- I'm back.
- By knowing about size,

we can make Mac
the funniest clown in town!

in cherry blossom season.
(wind blowing)

We're Peg and Cat checking out

these super awesome
Japanese trees.

Cat loves splashes of color.
- I love the word splashes too!

Splashes!

- It's like we're
in a painting, right?

- Or really hip animation.

- Aaah! Ugh!
- You OK?

- Halt! You are nearing

the Fifteen Sacred Trees,

which I have sworn
to protect from bad guys.

You're not bad guys,
are you?

- Nope, not bad guys.

- In fact, we're
pretty good guys.

- Awesome!
You hear that, Harry?

Nothing to worry about.

- I'm Peg and this is Cat.

- I'm Aki of the noble
Cherry Blossom Ninja Clan.

- Nice!
- And this is Harry.

He doesn't talk much.
- Aki, did you say

you're a ninja?
- Not quite.

I'm still in training.
But Sensei says

if I guard the Fifteen
Sacred Trees really well,

he'll make me a ninja.
- Who's Sensei?

- My teacher. He's the coolest.

He even taught me
how to disappear.

- Wow! Can you show us?
- Please, please, please!

- First, you make a cloud
of smoke with a smoke ball.

Then, you jump up
into a tree,

so when the smoke's gone,
so are you!

Smoke b*mb!

(Cat gasps.)
- She disappeared!

(Aki groaning with effort)
Well, her head did anyway.

- Ah, you gotta
start somewhere.

- Aki can't keep herself up!

- So I can't disappear!

And if I can't even disappear,
there's no way I'll be able

to guard
the Fifteen Sacred Trees!

- Aki's got a BIG PROBLEM!
(wind blowing)

There must be
some way to help her!

Hey, that's it, Cat!
- Hm?

- Aki can't keep
herself up 'cause she got

too much heavy ninja stuff.

- I do?
- Listen, Aki,

if you're gonna
be light on your feet,

you can only carry
one of each thing.

We'll help you get rid
of the extra stuff using our...

- (both): Math skills!

- You have three ropes.
To get down to one,

you take away...
- One, two.

- ♪♪ Take away two ropes
if you will ♪

- One, two ropes!
Math skills!

- ♪ Peg, what's that line? ♪

- ♪ That, my friend,
is the minus sign ♪

It means the same thing
as take away.

Like a sword cutting away
all the extra stuff.

- That's so ninja!
- Three minus two

equals one rope left!

- I have three flashlights.

To get down to one,
I take away?

- ♪ Take away two
- Will do ♪

- Three minus two
equals one flashlight!

- Great! Now,
I have two apples.

To get down to one apple,
I take away one.

- ♪ So two minus one
equals one ♪

- ♪ Ah, indeed
The deed is done ♪

Whoa-oh-oh!

- ♪ Now, I'm feeling so light ♪

- ♪ You're gonna be alright ♪

- ♪ Thanks to that
very cool line ♪♪

- (Peg and Cat): The minus sign!

- Smoke b*mb!
- Where did she go?

- Up here! Woohoo!

- She did it!
Aki was light enough

to do the disappearing trick.

which means...

♪ Problem solved,
the problem is solved ♪

♪ We solved the problem,
problem solved ♪

Now that she's lighter,
Aki can leap

from tree to tree with no--
- AAH!

- Problem?

Hmm, this part of the forest
is totally treeless!

- And look, a sign
with a one and a five!

That's fifteen, right?

(Aki gasps.)
- They're gone!

This is where the Fifteen
Sacred Trees were.

- Someone must have taken them!

This is a...
- (girls): REALLY BIG PROBLEM!

- Sensei will never let me
be a ninja now.

- It's OK, Aki.
Cat and I will help you

find the fifteen trees.
- You will?

- Yeah! Can we borrow some
of your extra ninja stuff?
- Of course!

- Thanks, Aki.
- Oh, man!

I am feeling so ninja right now!

HIIIYA!

That's a thing, right,
saying "hi-ya"?

- It's a little silly,
but you make it work.

- OK, guys, think.
How are we gonna find

those missing trees? Hmm...

- Oh! Whoa-oh-oh!

- Cat? Hey, footprints!

Whoever took the trees
must have left these.

So if we follow the footprints--

- They'll lead us to the trees.

A cave! Looks dark in there!

- Don't worry, guys,
we've got our...

ninja flashlights!

- The Sacred Trees!

- And there are one, two,

three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen,

fourteen, fifteen of them!
- They're all here!

- Now, let's get 'em back
to the forest.

(grunting)

- Where did you go, Cat?

- Over here by the...

gigantic, sleeping dragon?!

(screaming)

- Huh?
(dragon snoring)

- What's with
all those spheres?

- That is one
sphere-loving dragon.

- The dragon
is blocking the trees.

We need to get
over him somehow.

- Let's use
our ninja climbing ropes!

- Sandwich? Whoops! Hang on!

Got it!
- Throw!

Swoop! Land!

- Throw! Swoop! Land.

- Throw!

Swoop! Land!

Uh, hi.

- Who dares to wake
the dragon?

- RUN!

Quick!
Jump into the bamboo trees!

- Hey, I saw you guys!
Come on out!

- Oh... if only my Sensei
were here.

- Isn't he?
- Sensei!

- Ramone, you're
Aki's teacher?

- Yup, and that's
his number one student.

- (both): The Pig?!
- He's so cool.

Show them that ninja move

where you leap through
the whole forest so fast

we can't even see you move.

- Did he do it?

- So fast you didn't
even see him move.

Sensei, we're being chased

by a giant, terrible beast!

He's just so scary.

- If you can muster the courage
to do fifteen ninja leaps,

then you'll be able to escape
anyone who's chasing you.

Isn't that right,
Number One Student?

- Did he nod?
- So fast

you didn't even
see him move.

Thanks, Sensei.

- I do what I can.

- Peekaboo! I see you ninjas.

- Quick! Leap fifteen times.

- (girls and Cat):
One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

- Stop!
- ...eleven, twelve,

thirteen, fourteen, fifteen!

- We're soaring!

We're stuck!
- Hey, get back here!

- Ah! The sphere-loving
dragon is back!

- And we're trapped
up here. We have no way

to get the Sacred Trees
back to the forest

or get us back anywhere!

I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

Cat's right,
I should count backwards

from five to calm down.

Five, four,

three, two,

one!

(Harry squeaking)
That's it, you ninja genius Cat!

Harry's a sphere,
and the dragon loves spheres!

We can use Harry
to distract the dragon

while we escape.
Don't worry, Aki,

I'll tie a rope around him,
so we'll get him back.

- Well... OK.

Be brave, Harry.

- Hey, Dragon!
- A sphere!

Ooh-ooh-ooh! Goodie!
- Let's go!

Pull the rope! Now run!

(Dragon crying)

What's wrong?
- Why is everybody

always running
away from me?

- Aren't you--
- A bad guy?

- You stole
the Fifteen Sacred Trees!

- Only so people
would come see them,

and I'd have somebody
to play with.

- (all): Aww!
- Listen, Dragon,

if you return the trees,
we'll play with you.

- You will?

- Harry says,
It will be our honor.

Thirteen, fourteen,

fifteen!

- Because we knew
how to count to fifteen

and how to take away,
we got the Sacred Trees back.

- Math skills can help
your ninja skills! HIIIYA!

- And so...

- You all were

- HIYA!

- To celebrate,

a ninja move at super speed!
