# So come along with me and I'll tell you more

# Iconicles

# There's Rumple and Miss Moo Splish and Splash and Skitter too

# I'll show you their worlds The Iconicles

# I just can't wait for you to meet them all

-Ho-ho!

-Ha-ha!

-He-he!

# Iconicles Iconicles. #

Oh. Hi, there.

An artist friend of mine has made a sculpture for me. It's under here.

It's only just been delivered, so I don't even know what it looks like.

Imagine, it could be a lion rearing up on its back legs, roaring.

Raar-raar-raar!

Or perhaps it's a sailor looking far out to sea.

It could be anything.

You know, this is such an exciting moment,

I'd like to share it with one of my Iconicle friends.

Let's see who we can invite to share in the unveiling of the sculpture.

# With a wave of my hands Let's explore

# Wonderful lands never seen before

# The Iconi-Screen My most amazing machine

# The I I-I I-coni-Screen

# Wild Wilderness Around the garden bench

# Down on the farm and by the Water's Edge

# Guess which Iconicle is coming to play

# Can you guess which world we'll visit today? #

Now, this is where the fun really begins.

Which of my Iconicle friends is interested in new things?

A-ha! The Garden.

Skitter!

SKITTER LAUGHS

W-Wahey!

H-Hey! H-hey!

Wh-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee!

Wahey!

Ha-ha-ha-ho! Wha-ho!

-Hi, Nat!

-Hi, Skitter. Good to see you.

SKITTER LAUGHS

I've got something to show you.

Ooo! What is it? What is it?

It's a gift from an artist friend of mine. It's a sculpture.

-Let's have a look, then.

-Wait, Skitter.

It's not often I get a sculpture.

It would be nice to remember the occasion with a photo.

Good, good, good idea.

Now, where did I leave my camera?

I think I had it when I downloaded pictures onto the Iconi-Screen.

-No, wait, Skitter!

-Wahey!

SKITTER LAUGHS

I only said I think I left it there.

Sorry, Nat, there's no camera here. Hey! What's that?

I don't know. I think maybe it's...

Er...

Er...

-It's Scotty.

-Oh, of course!

Undercarriage - check!

Wind speed - 20 knots, north-northeasterly.

Visibility - fair to middling.

Starboard wing - check!

Port wing - check!

Are my tail feathers straight?

Check. Scotty, can we go now?

You can't rush an expedition of this importance.

Three days at sea looking for fish is an important job.

Three days? That's a long time!

One, two, three.

That's nearly four!

Have a good trip, dudes!

Thank you, Salty. Goodbye, Splish and Splash.

Carmen, I know you worry about me, but we'll be back as soon as...

-Carmen? Oh.

-She must still be asleep.

Scotty, it really is time to go.

I can't leave without saying goodby-e-e-e-e!

Ride that wave, Scotty!

-Bye, Scotty!

-Have a good trip!

Bring back lots of fish!

SHE HUMS

Scotty should be here. He's not usually late.

Ah, well, I start the dance practice without him.

SHE HUMS Oh!

Ooh, the ice is very slippy today.

-SPLISH AND SPLASH: Wheee!

-Oh!

Wheee!

Hello, Carmen. Did you get up late?

No. I left my cave early to skate.

It helps me warm up before dancing, see?

In fact, it is Scotty who is late.

He should have been here long before now for our dancing practice.

But Scotty has gone looking for fish.

Fishing? No, no. Scotty would not go without saying goodbye.

But he did. Bubbles went with him.

They'll be gone for days and days and days.

Are you all right, Carmen? You look a bit sad.

Sad? No, no, no. Actually... I'm glad because...

Scotty is...always stepping on my claws when we dance. Like this.

Oh! Ah! Ouch! Ay-ay-ay!

So...I am not sad. No, but busy...yes.

-I have to go. Adios.

-OK. We'll see you later.

Bye, Carmen.

SHE SIGHS

Right then. This looks like a perfect place to fish, Bubbles.

But we haven't gone very far, Scotty. I can still see the shore.

No, no. This looks like the perfect place.

Last one in is a floppy flat fish, eh, what?

Brrrr! I do wish she wouldn't do that. Hup!

Jolly good. No fish in sight. Better head off home.

But I thought you wanted to find fish? It is a fishing trip.

Um, um, er...yes, yes, of course.

-There's nothing special you want to rush back for, is there?

-Me? No, no.

-Are you sure?

-No. I mean, yes.

You're right, Bubbles. It's just that Carmen always comes to say

goodbye before I go on a fishing trip. I hope there's nothing wrong.

Let's go home, then. I'm sure Carmen will be pleased to see you.

I hope so.

Oh, Carmen's so upset at not getting to say goodbye to Scotty.

I do hope someone notices.

I'm sure they will, Skitter. Now, camera.

Where did I last have it?

Ah, I'll check upstairs.

OK. Er...

I suppose if I don't take the cloth off, I could take a quick peek.

How can it harm...if I'm quick?

What's this? Ooh!

-Urgh!

-SNAP!

Oh. Oh, no.

Oh, dear.

I remembered that the last time I had my camera

I was taking pictures at the skateboard park.

A trainer's eye view. This camera should catch some great shots.

Aaahh! Oh, very, very, very bad.

Ah!

OK, Skitter. I've got my camera. We're ready to unveil the sculpture.

Wait! Not yet! Shouldn't we...bake a cake or something first

-to make the unveiling extra special?

-Great idea!

HE SIGHS

Luckily, I have a cake that I made yesterday.

-Oh.

-Mm!

Just add some scrummy sprinkles and we have one special unveiling cake.

-Er...

-Right. Just time to grab my camera and...

-Not yet, Nat!

Can't we see what's happened with Carmen? I hope she's better.

OK, let's take a look.

Phew!

SHE MUTTERS

Why did Scotty not say adios?

We are amigos and amigos should say adios.

"Adios, amigo, what, what."

How hard is that?

-Carmen!

-CARMEN GASPS

Oh! Oh, hello, Salty.

Carmen, don't you normally collect mussels with Scotty?

-You must be missing him.

-Me? I not miss him.

Why you think I miss him?

Scotty...only gets in my way.

Every way I turn, there he is.

In my way, I then here, there is Scotty.

Ah! Scotty. I turn around and there's Scotty.

Now, I have to go to singing practice.

But what about all these other mussels and...

Was it something I said? Adios, amigo!

Oh, where is everyone? They're normally here to greet us.

You're forgetting they think we've gone away for three days.

Oh, yes, you're right. Three days.

It really was rude of me not to say goodbye to Carmen, wasn't it?

Don't worry, she'll understand.

Ooh, oh! Brrrr!

Carmen, are you there?

It's Scotty.

Hello, Splish. Hello, Splash.

-Didn't you say you'd be away for one...two...

-Three days, yes, yes.

Have you seen Carmen? The thing is she overslept,

-so I didn't get to say goodbye.

-She didn't oversleep, Scotty.

She got up early today.

-She did?

-Yes, to come here and dance.

But you must be mistaken!

I'm her dancing partner.

Sorry, Scotty, but Carmen told us

she'd rather dance alone.

-She says you're always stepping on her claws.

-She said that?

-Yes!

She showed us. Like this.

-Ay-ay-ay!

-THEY LAUGH

Right, well, erm, I'll be, erm, off, then.

THEY GIGGLE

Carmen? Ah, there you are.

Carmen, I wanted to apologise.

You see, I thought you were asleep, and...

Oh, Scotty! What happened?

-You said you were going to be away for...

-Three days, yes, yes.

-We came back early.

-Wish I'd known! I'd have welcomed you home.

Quite all right. Have you seen Carmen?

As a matter of fact, I took over from her looking for mussel shells.

-But I'm not very good at it.

-Well, I suppose there IS an art to it.

You got that right, dude. And Carmen's the only one who knows it.

She said you and I just get in her way.

She said that?! Hmph!

So, did you bring back lots of fish? Scotty? Now where are you going? Hm.

Now Scotty's feeling bad he didn't get to say goodbye to Carmen.

I hope he finds her and gets to explain what happened.

Right, time to unveil the sculpture.

No, no, no!

I mean, that is...when we unveil something in the garden world,

-we have to do certain things, for luck!

-Really?

I'll just jot this down in my notebook for now

and then update it on the Iconi-Screen files later.

-OK, so, Skitter, what do I have to do?

-We have to collect things.

-Mm. What sort of things?

-Er, fruit and vegetables and flowers, too.

Er, all the colours of the rainbow.

I need seven colours. Interesting!

I'd better get busy.

And remember - you need ALL the colours of the rainbow, Nat!

Oh, yes, yes, yes!

You get busy finding things while I get busy fixing things.

HE GIGGLES

Yellow lemon...

Green broccoli.

(Orange, yellow, green.)

Got to fix this quick.

Erm... Hey!

Red, orange and green. Blue, indigo, violet. Got it!

Skitter, I'm just popping out for a while! I'll be back in a bit!

Er... Oh... Ah!

Yes, yes, yes! Er, that bit goes there...

No, hang on, it must go here. And this bit goes... Oh, no!

This doesn't look right, does it?

Ah! Skitter said I needed one thing for each colour of the rainbow.

A red apple, an orange orange, a yellow lemon, green broccoli,

a blue spoon, an indigo book

and violet...

flowers!

I'm all finished, Skitter!

Oh, dear!

Skitter?

-SKITTER GASPS

-What are you doing over here?

I thought you'd be over by the sculpture,

getting ready for the unveiling.

Oh, I would be, only...

Look.

I found all seven colours of the rainbow,

so now we can get on with the unveiling.

No, wait!

Erm, can we please see if Scotty and Carmen have found each other yet?

Of course! We've waited this long to see my sculpture,

a few more minutes won't make much difference.

SKITTER SIGHS

Scotty, did you find Carmen?

It's no good, Bubbles.

I don't think Carmen likes me any more.

-CHEERING AND WHOOPING

-Hello!

-What are you all doing?

-We've come to welcome you back!

My furry friend is right.

Just because you weren't away for long

doesn't mean we didn't miss you!

BOTH: Welcome home! THEY GIGGLE

That's very nice of you!

-It's good to know that I still have SOME friends.

-And here comes Carmen.

Hello, Carmen! We got back early.

CARMEN: Carmen not know you leave!

You no say adios.

Well, from what I heard, you'd have been delighted I was gone. Hmph!

CARMEN: Hmph!

Oh, dear! What could Scotty have meant by that? Does anybody know?

ALL: Hmmm...

First no adios, and when he comes back, no hola.

Carmen, you know, Scotty didn't want to leave without saying goodbye,

but you see, it was getting late and, well,

I think this is all my fault.

And my fault too, Bubbles!

SPLASH: And mine!

Yeah, and mine, too!

What do you all mean?

Well, we may have mentioned to Scotty what you said

about him stepping on your claws when you dance.

And, er, I may have mentioned what you said about him

getting in your way when you're looking for mussels.

But... But I didn't mean those things! Ay-ay-ay! I must find him!

Starboard wing, check. Port wing, check.

So off I go, and this trip really will last a long, long time.

Scotty! Wait!

Whoooooooa!

Oh, the...

Carmen. What are you doing here?

Don't you have dancing practice to do?

Not without you, Scotty.

Carmen need her dancing partner!

Well, don't you have some mussel shells to find?

-It's no fun without you, Scotty.

-But I thought...

You thought Carmen was not your friend.

I should have told the truth to Splish and Splash and Salty.

-The truth?

-Yes.

I missed you and I was angry when I thought you had gone

without saying goodbye, so I made up silly stories.

I'm so sorry.

Of course, Carmen. Nothing to forgive.

I KNEW there was a simple explanation.

SPLISH AND SPLASH GIGGLE Are you two STILL arguing?

CARMEN: No, Splash, we are friends, eh, Scotty?

-Always.

-So are you going fishing now, Scotty?

-There is one thing I'd like to do first.

-CARMEN: What's that?

Well, I missed the dancing practice, and the search for mussel shells,

but am I in time for singing practice?

Si, my friend, si! We can all sing together!

ALL: Hooray! THEY LAUGH

So, Carmen only said those things about Scotty because

she didn't want to show she was upset.

Thank goodness she told the truth in the end.

GULPS

Right, time for the unveiling ceremony.

-What do I do with the lucky rainbow mixture?

-Yes - we, er...

place it around the sculpture.

But we should create a special... celebration dance first.

Don't you think?

No, Skitter. We have a special cake, the lucky rainbow mix

AND my camera to take a photograph.

I think we've made it special enough, don't you?

Yes, yes, yes. You're right.

But there is one more thing, Nat - something I did. Something awful.

You didn't peep under the cloth, did you?

Tell me the truth, now.

I can do better than that. I'll show you.

Hm. So, what did you do that was so awful, Skitter?

-Get your camera ready.

-Will do.

Ah. Ready.

I just wanted a quick peek but I ended up breaking it. Sorry, Nat.

I tried to fix it.

-And all because you just couldn't wait to see it?

-Yes.

I'm so sorry, Nat.

Well, you know...

..I sort of like it, Skitter.

Really?

Mm, I do.

It's great to look at things in a different way. This is different.

And next time you visit it will act as a handy reminder

for the lesson you learnt today.

Yes, yes, yes. I'll be more patient next time,

-and I'll tell you if something happens, too.

-Exactly.

ALARM SOUNDS

That's the games alarm. Do you want to play with Skitter and me?

-We have to beat the clock.

-Wo-ho!

Ooh, and the clock's already ticking. OK, first question.

What was Carmen practising when Splish and Splash told her

Scotty had gone away to sea?

Um...

Er...

Come on, Skitter.

Anybody?

It's something she loves doing with Scotty.

Er...dancing!

Ah. Well, I start the dance practice without him.

SHE HUMS A TUNE

Ooh! Ooh-ooh-ooh!

Ooh.

Ah, well done, Skitter.

Yes, yes, yes.

Time for one last question.

Who splashed Scotty then she dived into the sea?

Um... That was Bubbles.

Last one in is a floppy flatfish, eh, what?

Brrr! I do wish she wouldn't do that. Hup!

-Correct! Really well done, Skitter.

-Wahey! Nutty-tastic!

Well done if you got that one too.

Nat, I'd better get home - before I break anything else in here.

LAUGHS

-OK. Thanks for spending the day with me, Skitter.

-Any time. Bye, Nat!

Wa-ha-hey!

LAUGHS

Bye, Skitter!

Bye, Nat!

Wahey!

Right, where would be a good spot to put my new...

sculpture?

See you next time. Bye!
