(soft music)

- Hi, neighbor! I'm at school.

I want to show you something!
Come inside!

- This is royally great!

- I'm making a race car!

(fast-paced music)
Zoom! Zoom!

My car needs wheels.

What can I use to make wheels?

Hmm...

Buttons!

These'll work!

Oh, that's sticky.

One... two...

OK. And...

three... four!

Now, I've got to color my car.

- Ha ha ha! Look at that!

- Hello, Teacher Harriet.

- Oh! Jodi's here!

She's my new friend.
- Hi, Jodi. Come on in.

- Hi, Jodi!
- Hi, Daniel!

- Jodi! Come see
my royally neat art project!

- Looks like your friends are
excited to see you, Jojo-bean!

Boop! I'll pick you up later.

- OK.

- Come on, Jodi! This way!

(Jodi giggling)
- Oh, look at all this stuff!

- Oink! Oink!
- OK, let's see.

Hmm...

My car looks grr-ific now!

I just have to draw

tiger stripes.

There.

Beep! Beep!

Now, it's time to race.
But who will race with me?

I know.
I'll ask Prince Wednesday.

He loves racing cars,

just like me!

- Ha ha ha! Look at that!
- Beep! Beep!

Hi, Prince Wednesday.

- Hiya, Daniel. Look! Jodi and I

made a whole family of piggies!

Oink! Oink!

- And now,

the piggies are in...

a moving truck! Beep! Beep!

It's just like the one
that moved all my toys

to my new house.
- Oink! Oink!

Beep! Beep!

Moving the piggies!

- Hey, Prince Wednesday,
want to race with me?

- No, thanks.
I'm playing with Jodi.

- But... you love racing cars...

with me.
- I know, but I'm playing

with Jodi now.
We want to finish making

our royal moving truck!
- But...

I want you to play with me.

- Moving truck coming in!

(Jodi giggling)
(sighing)

- Honk! Honk! Coming through!

- What's wrong, Daniel?
- I want Prince Wednesday

to race my new car with me.
- Beep! Beep! Beep!

- But... he's too busy
playing with Jodi.

- Maybe Prince Wednesday
will race cars with you

after he plays with Jodi.

- But... he wants
to play with Jodi

more than me.

- Whoa! Ha ha ha! Look at that!

- It doesn't feel
like he's my friend.

is still your friend.

do you want to play pretend
with my moving truck?

We can pretend
we're moving to a new house.

- OK! But, how do we do that?

- When we moved,

I put all of my toys

in moving boxes.

- Hmm...

Are those boxes empty?

Yes! Moving boxes,

coming right up.

toys...

and stuffies,

and blocks.

Hmm. We need more boxes.

Hey, Lucia! Come and play!

This is Lyric,
she just moved in next door.

- Hi, Lyric.
- Hi.

Do you wanna play obstacle
course with us?
- Yeah!

Maybe this could be the golden
crystal ball, and we have

to try and get it? Who wants
to be the monster?

- Me!
- All right!

Lyric, you gotta go through
the swings, up the ladder,

down the slide, into the house

to grab the golden crystal ball.

They're all having fun
playing together!

That was so much fun!

with Miss Elaina.

Oh, got it!

Try to catch it.

SPLAT ball with us?

I... I don't know.

I've never played that before.

- We can teach you.
- OK.

- Grr-ific!
- Come on, Jodi!

- Wanna know
why we call it SPLAT ball?

- OK.
- This was a round ball once,

but then it got squished
and it went... SPLAT!

- SPLAT!

- So, now it's... SPLAT ball!

- Neato. How do you play?

- You throw the ball, and say...

- SPLAT! And the other person
catches it

and throws it back.
- SPLAT!

- SPLAT...

- SPLAT!

Here, Jodi.
I'll throw it to you.

OK, now I'll
throw it to... Jodi!

to Jodi again!

They're not
playing with me at all!

Where are you going?

Daniel, why did you leave?

SPLAT ball, me and you.

But now, you're
playing with Jodi

Only Jodi, not me!

- Sorry, Daniel. I...

I was just having fun with Jodi.

I didn't mean
to play without you.

- But you are
playing without me!

Do you...

Do you like Jodi more than me?

(yawning)

It's me, Katerina Kittycat!

It's almost my bedtime,
but I have

something to show you. Come on!

Every night
after I brush my teeth

and before I go to bed

me and my mommy read a book.

Do you like
to read stories at bedtime?

Tonight, I want
to read this book.

I made it myself!

- Meow, meow, Katerina!

Oh, you look nice and cozy.

What should we read tonight?

- I'll tell a story
to you tonight, Mommy!

And to you too, neighbor!

- Once upon a time...

there was
a little Kittycat family.

Like you and me, Mommy!

The Kittycats danced

and danced all day long...

But then it was night time,

and the Kittycats were sleepy.

It was time for bed!

So, the Kittycats said night-
night to their ballet shoes...

and night-night
to their stuffies

and night-night
to their cozy treehouse.

And then the Kittycats
went to sleep.

(giggling)
Sh...

Sh...

The end.

- That was beautiful, Katerina.

I love your story,

and I love you.

- I love you too, Mommy.

- Night-night, my sweet girl.

- Night-night Mommy!

I like bedtime stories
with just me and my mommy.

I wonder if someone
in your neighborhood

tells special stories
before bed? Meow. Meow.

(yawning)

Night-night!
