(Granddad yawning)

- I'm catching
some sleepy vibes.

- Time for Granddad's nap.

- Groovy dreams!

- I planned this super,
groovy surprise for Granddad,

but I need your help
setting it up.

Shall we get movin'?
- And groovin'!

- When Granddad wakes up,

we'll have this hill decorated
just for him.

We'll cover it
with all the numbers

in the sixties. We'll put

this heart in a tree.
It stands for love.

- It's very groovily shaped.

- We'll set up
these smile sculptures too.

- It all looks awesome,
Grandmom!

- But the biggest,
grooviest part is

this huge peace sign

we're gonna set up
all across the hill.

- Cool!
- Whoa!

- The circle will be shirts.

The line down the middle

will be sets of love beads.

And this upside down "V"

will be made of flowers.

We don't have long till Granddad
gets up. Think we can do it?

- I say, let's give
peace a chance!

- I'll get the shirts and beads;

you set up the number cards
from to .

- Wait, Cat! Do you know
how to count in the sixties?

- Count in the sixties?
I'm a cat!

- I can count by tens
to get to ,

but I have no idea what to do
when I get there!

This is a BIG PROBLEM!

That's it, you groovy cat!

Counting in the sixties is easy
as one two three.

You just count from one to nine,
but with a six in front.

- Um, isn't there something
ungroovy about that peace sign?

- (gasping): The peace sign
is missing a piece!

This is a really bad scene!

- (Peg and Cat): Huh?
- A really big problem.

- Oh! Got it!
- Oh-oh! How did these shirts

get over here?
- T-shirts don't just fly off

by themselves.
- Don't they?

- Coo! Coo!
- That dove

was trying to take the shirts.

- Lucky for us,
they were too big for him.

- , ,

...

- ! The shirt is down!

- And the circle is complete!

- But now the line
down the middle isn't!

- Did some beads
fly away too?!

- Yes! Ow!
- Give us back our beads, dove!

- Got some beads!

- Ho! Ho! Got some beads!

- (Cat): And into a tree!
- I can't reach the flowers,

even on a smile!

- I can't reach

WHOA-HO!

- Perfect for climbing!

- Let go, birds!

- They're not yours!
- They're ours!

- They're blowing in the wind!

- So, like, where's the pizza?
- The teens?!

- We saw your big pizza sign!
- Without the flowers,

it's just a circle
with a line through it.

- Our peace sign is nothing
but a pizza sign!

- So like...
- There's no pizza? Laters.

(Granddad yawning)

- Granddad finished his nap!

- And we don't have
any peace sign!

- (girls):
I am TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

- Cat's right.
We should count backwards

- Is back!

(both gasping)

(eagle screaming)
(western-style music)

(coyote howling)

- The wild, wild west.
Usually, it's quiet as a cactus.

- Yippee!
- Yeehaa!

- But today,
they're celebrating.

Mac's giving
free stagecoach rides.

Viv and Connie
are giving out frontier food.

- Pork and beans! Mmmm!

- The Goat is doing
card tricks.

There's gonna be a parade
led by town drum major Ramone.

And all in honor of...

- Pick any two cards
that add up to ten,

and I'll make 'em disappear
in a puff of smoke!

- I got a four, Cat.

Now you pick a number that goes
with four to make ten.

- Five! Huh? No puff of smoke.

- They didn't disappear
because four plus five

doesn't equal ten.
- Any chance you could show me

what you mean
using random foodstuff?

- Well, let's see.
Four pickles plus five more

is one, two, three, four...

five, six, seven,
eight, nine pickles.

You need one more pickle
to get to ten.

So instead of five, you need
to pick a six to make
the magic happen.

- That one.
- So I've got a four...

- And I got a... six!

- Four plus six equals ten!

- And the cards disappeared.
- Whoa-ho-ho!

(whistle)
- Parade time!

(drumming music)

Everybody in position?

- All one...
- Two.

- Three.
- Four.

- Five.
- Six.

- Reben!
- Eight.

- Nine.
- Ten of us!

Forward, march!
(parade music)

- ♪ Oh, we're marching
down the-- ♪

OOOF!

- We can't march down the road
with this big trough in the way.

- So we can't have a parade?!
(Richard crying)

- We've got a--
- (all): Big problem!

- To solve this problem...
map time!

- Finally!
(Cat snoring)

(lullaby playing)

- Not nap time, Cat; map time!

A map is a picture
that shows where things are.

- This trough is for horses
to drink from.

The map says it should be
near here, where horses stay.

It shouldn't be
in the middle of the road!

- If we move the trough
where it belongs...

- We can march
right down the road!

- And have our parade!

- And so...

- ♪ Problem solved,
the problem is solved ♪

♪ We solved the problem ♪

- Uh oh! Bad Jack is back!
(Cat gasps.)

- (Mac): With Bad John, Bad Jim,

and Bad Jill!

nasty six feathers!

- To the saloon!

(piano music)

We got to leave this town.
- Oh my, yes!

- Sure do!
- Oh yeah!

- You can't let
those bad guys chase you away

from your home sweet home.

- Or your pickles,
sweet pickles!

- We're tired
of living in fear, Peg.

- Let's take a vote.

Who thinks we should leave town?

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven.

And who wants to stand up to
the bad guys? One, two, three.

- Did everybody vote?
- Seven plus three

equals all ten of us.
So that's everybody.

And since seven
is more than three,

more of us want to leave
than want to stay.

So I guess we're leaving town.

- To leave town,
we need to get

from the saloon,
past the three pickle barrels,

to the train station.
- (Peg): Let's go!

- But how will we get there
without being tickled?

- Let's hide behind
that tumbleweed!

- We can't fit behind
a tumbleweed, Cat.

- Silly Cat!
- So silly!

- That Cat is silly!
- He doesn't know things!

- Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
- Uh, the other tumbleweed.

- Smart Cat!
- So right.

- That Cat is smart!
- He knows things!

- I'm definitely not laughing!
- If Peg and Cat

keep an eye on the map,
I'll steer the tumbleweed!

- We need to pass
three pickle barrels.

- That-a-way!
♪♪♪

One, two, three!

- So the train should be...

- There, right behind Bad Jill!
- Rad Grill?!

- Back to the saloon!

- Bad Jack's right there!
(mermaid gasping)

- Bad Jill is right there!
- We're trapped!

- The map shows a space
where we could hide

between the inn and the saloon.

- There's the inn.
- There's the saloon,

and here's the space
between them!

♪♪♪
(people panting)

- The map says behind
these buildings is a river.

Let's go!
(people panting)

- There's a river all right!

- And a boat
we can sail away in!

- No one can stop us now!

- Except that man
who's sailing this way!

- Whoa-oh!

- That's no ordinary man,
Connie.

It's the amazingly great,
super-famous leader

George Washington!
- Ah ah!

- Did you hear that
the town's in trouble
and rush to our rescue?

- I cannot tell a lie, Peg.
I was crossing the Delaware

and took a wrong turn
at Hackensack.

- Oh, I hate it
when that happens!

- The town's
in trouble, you say?

So you're fleeing in fear
instead of standing up

for your homes, your pride

and your right to live
free of tickling?

- Yes, yes, and yes.

- We'd like to stand up
to Bad Jack's g*ng...

- But our bellies
are so ticklish!

- And their sixes
are so "tickley"!

Can't you see? Tickling
only leads to more tickling,

and more tickling,
and more tickling!

All this senseless tickling
has got me sick

and tired
and totally freaking out!

- Cat's right. You should count
backwards from four

and calm down.

- Four, three,

two, one!

That's it, you amazing,
card-trick-loving Cat!

- Huh?
- Goat.

- The name's Scoby. Ben Scoby.

But yes, I am a goat.

- You can make two cards
that add up to ten disappear.

Can you make two feathers that
add up to ten disappear?

- Don't see why not.
- Four and six add up
to ten, right, George?

if I stand up to a member

with my four feather, and he--
- Or she...

- Draws his six feather--
- Or her six feather...

- And you do your magic,
both feathers will disappear!

Oh, man!
- Or woman!

- When all the feathers
have disappeared,

there'll be no more
tickling in the wild west!

So by knowing how to use maps
and add up to ten,

we're about to make
the wild west safe.
