Mim-Mim's Moon Mishap Kate and Mim-Mim

# Lift me up into the sky

# See the world through my eyes

# Mimiloo is where we'll fly

# And the chances are you're

# All I'll ever need

# Funny bunny friend of mine

# We will always be

# You and me - Kate and Mim-Mim. #

Vroom!

Swish! Zoom!

That's fantastic, Commander Kate.

-Another successful rocket landing.

-Thanks, Mum.

Maybe next we'll fly to the moon.

You know, if you look really closely,

you may just be able to see the man on the moon.

There's a man on the moon?

I'll go get the telescope so you and Mim-Mim can take a closer look.

Wow! It would be fun to meet the man on the moon, wouldn't it, Mims?

Mim-Mim, funny bunny friend, it's time come to life again!

Kate and Mim-Mim, me and you, let's twirl away to Mimiloo!

-Hi, everyone.

-Oh, hi, Kate. Hi, Mim-Mim.

You're just in time to see my latest, greatest invention.

What's under there? A statue? A giant banana?

A statue of a giant banana?

Even better.

Ta-dah!

-It's so shiny.

-And so beautiful.

-I know.

Problem is, I don't know where to fly it.

It's all fuelled up with no place to go.

We can blast off into space to visit the man on the moon.

Yeah, but Kate, what if we meet the man on the moon and he isn't...

friendly?

I'm sure he's friendly, Mims, but we won't find out unless we try.

Come on! Let's go to the moon.

Yeah.

Hello, down there. We're way up here.

Wow, you look like ants to us.

THEY LAUGH

-Those are ants, silly. Tack and Gobble are over there.

-Oh.

I knew that.

Let's practise. It's space-girl Kate and Astro-Mim, ready for blast off.

This is Mission Control,

can you hear me, Space-girl Kate and Astro-Mim?

We hear you loud and clear, Tack. Oh, I mean, Mission Control.

Gobble and I will be in soon.

Have fun and whatever you do, don't push the big green button.

-Uh, OK, Mission Control, pushing the big green button.

-Argh!

No! I said, "Don't push the big green button!"

-Uh-oh.

-Uh-oh.

-Oh, no! They're blasting off without us.

-Oh, no!

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no...

-OK, now they look like ants.

-This is Tack, I mean, Mission Control.

I said, do not push the big green button.

-Do not!

-Oh, oops. Sorry, Tack. Bunny fingers.

Tack, what should we do? I don't know how to fly a rocket.

OK, it's not hard. Listen closely. Use the wheel to steady the rocket.

-Rocket steady, Mission Control.

-Now, push the big lever down.

-Then, press the big red button.

-Right!

Wait, did he say "press" or "don't press the big red button"?

-Press it!

-Press it!

-OK.

Hooray! Touch down. We did it. What a fun ride that was, right, Mims?

-Kate, I think we're on the moon.

-Hello, Mission Control?

This is Space-girl Kate and Astro-Mim. We landed safely...

On the moon!

STATIC

-Oh, no.

-Hmm. It's not working.

-It's not?

But if we can't talk to Tack, I mean, Mission Control,

-how will we know how to fly home?

-It's OK, Mims.

I know how to fly the rocket now

and as soon as we meet the man on the moon, I'll fly us back home.

Let's go and find him.

Yeah!

This is Mission Control. Do you read me, Space-girl Kate, Astro-Mim?

My wacky-tacky, it's not working.

-Argh! Now we'll never know what happened to them.

-What do we do now?

Look, the rocket's trail.

They didn't fly to the moon, they just flew over there.

Let's follow that trail!

-RUMBLING

-What's that?

I've never heard a sound like that before.

Oh, no! What if it's a space thingy?

Oh, Mims. There's no such thing as a space thingy.

We should find out where that's coming from. This way.

It's coming from over there, so maybe we should stay here.

On second thought, wait for me!

That's strange. It's a postbox.

This must be where the man on the moon lives.

You mean the man on the moon gets mail on the moon?

Who knew?

Hello, there. I'm Space-girl Kate.

And I'm Astro-Mim. Yeah, um, hi.

You're cute. What's your name?

Well, he's kind of rumbly,

so maybe his name is Little Man That Makes Rumbly Sounds.

Or Rumbly. Is that your name?

Oh, what happened to your house?

It fell down?

Oh, no. Well, don't worry, we'll help you build it again.

Hey, Rumbly.

I don't want to startle you but um...

are there any space thingies around here?

Is that a yes? Oh, I hope not.

But just in case, let's rebuild Rumbly's house

-so we have somewhere to hide.

-It's OK, Mim-Mim. Don't worry.

If you need a good place to hide, you can always hide in the rocket.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

We flew it all the way here, just to meet you.

I guess you probably don't get too many visitors,

being all the way on the moon and all.

The rocket trail leads over there.

It looks like they landed in Floaty Rock Valley.

The trail's fading. Better hurry.

There you go, Rumbly. All finished.

-Have a good nap, Rumbly.

-Good work, Mim-Mim.

RUMBLING

There's that sound again.

The Space Thingy might be a real Thingy.

We've got to wake up Rumbly and warn him. We're coming, Rumbly!

It's getting louder, Kate!

RUMBLY SNORING

-It's Rumbly. He's snoring.

-Oh, no.

-How will we hear the space thingy over all that snoring?

-No, silly.

There is no space thingy. The sound we're hearing is Rumbly snoring.

Oh, no.

Rumbly, does your house fall down every time you go to sleep?

Then it's just as I thought.

Rumbly's snoring is so loud that it makes his whole house fall down.

And he has to rebuild it and rebuild it.

Oh, well, it's no wonder he's so tired.

Kate! Mim-Mim!

-Hello.

-Thank goodness we found you.

And you too, little rumbly fellow.

Hi, Tack, Gobble. Good to see you.

-Uh...how did you get here on the moon?

-The moon? This isn't the moon.

It's Floaty Rock Valley. See? Floating rocks.

So if this isn't the moon,

then I guess we didn't meet the man on the moon.

Instead we met a nice little rock man from Floaty Rock Valley.

A nice little man who snores so loud that he knocks his house down.

Aw, I wish we could help him.

I KNOW we can help him.

Rumbly loves the rocket

and it's so solid that it won't fall down when he snores.

What do you think, Tack? Can your rocket be Rumbly's new home?

Well, we don't need the rocket to get home

and I can always build a new one, this time with bunny-proof buttons.

-Sorry about that.

-OK. Welcome home, Rumbly.

-Oh!

-You're welcome, Rumbly. We love you too.

Bye, Rumbly! Have a nice nap. Yeah.

Hooray! We did it.

How are my two astronauts doing? Did you find the man on the moon?

No, but guess what. After we blasted off in Tack's rocket, we met Rumbly.

We didn't get to meet the man on the moon,

-but I'm glad we tried because now we have a new friend.

-Good for you.

You never know what you might find until you try.
