Jemima's New Best Friend Grandpa In My Pocket

.

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

Grandpa!

No! Be careful!

Grandpa! Stop!

Whoa!

'Grandpa and I had built a model of Sunnysands

'on the sitting room floor. We were playing with our train.'

Oh, Jason!

What?

'Jemima wasn't keen on trains. And anyway, she had other plans.

'Let me tell you a bit about my sister Jemima.

'Well, she has lots of friends who often come round to play,

'she LOVES animals

'and she's very keen on the colour pink.

'She likes all kinds of singing and dancing

'and LOVES making up plays and dressing up.

'Most of the time she's good fun,

'but, like all big sisters, she CAN be annoying.

'Today she was annoying, she was having a new friend round.'

So what's her name, then, Jemima?

-Tiffany.

-Tiffany, eh?

Yes, Tiffany Jayne Grottington Pump.

Ha-ha, ha-ha!

It's not funny, she's pretty

and she has lovely hair and cool clothes

AND she's my best friend. OK?

'Oh, yes.

'Apparently, Tiffany Jayne Grottington Pump was...'

AND she lives in one of the big houses

in the bay overlooking the boats.

-Very smart.

-Exactly, Grandpa.

I want our house to look really tidy and nice,

so will you PLEASE clear this up!

Oh, Mum!

I think she's discovered Mum's new hobby!

'Mum's always taking up new hobbies. One week it's karate,

'then salsa dancing,

'then relaxation exercises,

'and now...this!

'Yes, Mum's latest hobby was hat making.'

Oh, Mum it's such a mess!

I know, isn't it great!

I'm halfway through this Sunnysands hat,

I'm making it sea-sidey. Try this one on...

I don't want to try one on

and I don't want Tiffany to think we live in a hat factory!

-DOORBELL

-And that will be her now!

'Tiffany Jayne Grottington Pump was at the door.'

Hi!

Oh, what a sweet, little house!

Oh, we've got one of those in our garage.

This is my brother.

Oh, hi, Damien.

It's Jason, actually.

Ooh! You've got a little ratty dog!

This is Grandpa!

Hello, Tiffany.

Gosh, I thought my Grandpa was old, but yours is ancient!

-MUM:

-Tiffany, how lovely to see you.

Mum, you've got a crab on your head.

Yes, I know!

Isn't it wonderful?

Come and see my bedroom.

I've got lots more stuff up there.

-TIFFANY:

-Oh, it's the tiniest bedroom in the universe!

Oh, well. Back to my felt and feathers.

I think Tiffany Jayne Grottington Pump is big trouble.

And Jemima is going to need our help.

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

'You know what happens when Grandpa shrinks -

'he can get in my toy car and make it go,

'he can fly off in my plane...'

Grandpa!

'..he can chuff about in our Sunnysands train

'or he can run so fast that I can't catch him.'

Hide, Grandpa, they're coming!

'And Grandpa jumped off the shelf and onto the sofa

'and onto the floor and into the train carriage.'

There's a bit more space downstairs.

-Oh, I have quite a few dressing up...

-OK.

Let's do a play, I LOVE doing plays.

Me too!

Now that Grandpa's gone for a lay down, clear this up!

'When Grandpa shrinks, everyone thinks he's gone for a lay down.

'This time Jemima was sort of right.'

You haven't got good dressing up clothes, look at this sad wand.

Well, I...

'Grandpa popped his head out and beckoned to me.

'He told me what to say.'

That's a brilliant wand - It's done LOADS of magic.

Jason!

Can I borrow you, Jason?

Um...

Huh!

# Doop doo-dee doop... #

It must be awful, having your Grandpa live with you all the time.

'I knew Grandpa would have a plan and I was right.

'I wasn't sure it was a good plan.

'But just then...'

-MUM:

-Jason! Come and try this on, please.

It's so much easier to see where to pin things

when someone's wearing it!

'Meanwhile, Tiffany had chosen a costume for Jemima.

'While Grandpa hid in the box.'

Right, I'm the fairy princess and you're my maid.

Ah!

Something moved inside the box!

Stand back! Stand well back!

Tell us when it's all clear!

Oops! Bit of a mistake, but the dressing-up box has given me an idea.

'And Grandpa jumped out of the box...

'..and ran into the kitchen.'

Nothing here, it's all fine!

I think it was your imagination, Tiffany.

You've got an amazing imagination.

Actually, yes, I have. Come in the garden, Maid.

-MUM:

-Jason!

'Mum had to put some more flowers onto my hat.

'Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye...

'I saw Grandpa.

'He was gathering bits of material.'

I think Jemima may be getting fed up of Tiffany.

Thanks, Jason.

'I was glad the hat was off.

'Now I needed to find out what Grandpa's plan was.

'And I wasn't at all surprised to see

'that he was on his way to the garden.'

Do a dance, Maid.

'Before long, Tiffany was acting being the princess,

'and a very bossy one too.'

Now curtsy.

'Grandpa was hiding behind a flower pot,

'making something out of bits of felt he'd found.'

Now sing a song.

'Even if sisters are annoying, you want to stick up for them.'

Psst!

I'm nearly ready.

Now, we have to get Jemima right out of the way

and here's what you've got to do next.

# La-la...#

Do you know ANY with words?

Um...

Oh, she's a hopeless maid, Damien.

Jason!

Oh, yes. Now fan me - I'm hot and I want to go to sleep.

'And Jemima fanned and fanned and fanned.

'Until at last...

'Tiffany fell asleep.'

I can help, just do what I tell you, when I tell you.

You've stopped fanning me!

She's hopeless, I'm surprised you don't turn her into a mouse.

That's a brilliant idea, Damien.

Jason!

And this is a brilliant wand.

All you do is wave it, close your eyes,

turn three times and count to ten.

OK, here goes.

One... Two... Three...

'I still didn't know what Grandpa's big plan was,

'but I was about to find out.

'This time Grandpa had gone too far.'

-Eek, eek.

-Ah!

Eek, eek.

Oh, no! Jemima, what have I done?

'Tiffany Jayne Grottington Pump

'thought she'd turned my sister into a mouse.'

I told you it was a good wand!

This is awful! I didn't mean to.

Come here! Do as I say!

Eek!

Eeeek.

Come here!

Eek, eek.

Please stop!

Just because I'm a mouse,

there's no need to boss me about.

You've been bossing me about all day.

I'm REALLY sorry, Jemima.

Really, REALLY sorry.

I was only acting.

You have to have everything your own way

and that's not the sort of person I want to play with.

I know. I'm really REALLY sorry.

What can I do now?

Well, you can turn me back into me again for a start.

Close your eyes, wave your wand and count to ten very slowly.

'While Grandpa hid behind his flower pot to get changed,

'I ran inside to tell Jemima she could come out.'

Four... Five... Six...

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

You're back!

I'm SO sorry, I didn't mean to turn you into a mouse.

A mouse?!

It's that amazing imagination of hers.

What do you want to play?

I'll play anything you like!

Do you want to be the fairy princess?

'I looked for Grandpa and he came out

'from behind the flower pot in his usual clothes.'

Cap off, quick!

'And Grandpa whipped off the shrinking cap

'and came back to normal size.'

Well, Jason.

I don't think Tiffany Jayne Grottington Pump

will boss Jemima around any more, do you?

No, Grandpa!

Teamwork, eh?

Teamwork!

THEY LAUGH

'Later, we were all really tired.'

I'm so glad she's gone. Thanks for sticking up for me, Jason.

How did you persuade her that she'd turned me into a mouse?

With Grandpa's help.

Grandpa? But Grandpa was laying down the whole time.

He didn't do anything.

Ta-da!

Did you have a nice rest, Grandpa?

Oh, yes.

Here, try this on.

THEY LAUGH

Now perhaps, you can get rid of that old cap of yours.
