The Story of Tack 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. #

Hello! I'm Kate, and this is my funny bunny friend, Mim-Mim.

Putting on a puppet play is going to be fun.

I can't wait, Kate.

What's it about?

Well, I want it to be about something special,

but I can't think of anything.

Well, whatever you decide, I know it's going to be just wonderful.

We'll go make a snack while you think.

Back in a jiffy.

Ah, they always make me feel better.

I wonder what my play should be about.

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

KATE GIGGLES

Kate and Mim-Mim, me and you,

let's swirl away the Mimiloo.

-KATE GASPS

-Look, Mim-Mim,

the Mimiloo Theatre.

Tack?

Uh, hello, Tack.

Sure I will...give you a high-five.

I think there's something wrong with Tack.

-Ah, Mim-Mim?

-MIM-MIM JUMPS

Wha...? Oh, Tack, I totally knew that wasn't you.

What are you doing?

Oh, you know, just getting ready for my new play.

Hit it, Gobble.

It's about a young dreamer and how he became a fan-TACK-tic inventor.

That's me.

All of Mimiloo is coming to see it.

Gobble made the props.

And Lily and Boomer painted all this scenery.

Ya-ya! Boomer paint good.

LILY SHRIEKS

Watch Boomer go! Yeah!

Nailed it.

Huh? THEY GIGGLE

Ha-ha-ha, I can't wait. There's a surprise at the end.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, let me guess, is it an ice cream cone?

Is it a carrot? Oh, I can't stand the suspense.

Our friends will be here soon.

I'll go get ready while you practise your parts.

HE SINGS HAPPILY TO HIMSELF

My part? I have a part?

Wait! Oh, but how will I know what to say?

Don't worry, Mim-Mim, Tack has the whole play recorded.

So you can practise.

Listen to this.

-TACK'S VOICE:

-Hello, I'm Tack - the famous inventor -

and this is my story.

All we have to do is act along with Tack's voice.

Mim-tastic!

I know!

Now we just need to put the finishing touches

on the decorations.

Look out!

Watch out!

Oh...

Agh! Oh, no, I've ruined the play.

-What a disaster.

-STEAM TRAIN APPROACHES

Agh! They're here!

Quick, the curtain!

-TACK SIGHS

-No-one will like my play.

They won't like me, either. I can't go on.

But, Tack, this is your story. If you don't play you, who will?

Gah! Wowee-wow! I feel different.

Am I still soft and plushy and huggably purple?

Ha-ha! Mim-Mim Tack!

Tack Mim-Mim!

Everyone's waiting.

-What do we do?

-Mim-Mim, can you pretend to be Tack?

OK, Kate, I'll do anything for a friend.

I know you're worried, Tack,

but just give us a chance to finish your play.

Everyone will love it.

OK, Kate, if you say so.

Looking good, Mim-Mim. You're a perfect me.

Hello, I'm Tack, the famous inventor of Mimiloo and this is my story.

Go on, Mims, act like you're Tack.

Oh, right.

I've always wanted to be an inventor.

Hey, this looks like Tack's workshop. I mean, my workshop.

Look, Gobble and Boomer, Tack has invented something.

Ya-ya, Tack invent good.

Tell us, Tack, what is it?

Hmm.

It's my very first invention. It makes things bigger and smaller.

MIM-MIM GASPS

Well, look at that.

HE WHISPERS: Tack, it's not working.

It didn't work the way it was supposed to.

I was so sad that I decided to give up.

But that's when my friends Kate and Mim-Mim come in.

THEY CHEER

-Kate said...

-You can be whatever you want to be.

Dreams really do come true, if you believe in yourself,

work hard and keep trying.

So I believed in myself and I kept trying.

-Ahh!

-Eventually, I made a few things that actually worked.

I got my Larger Barger to work...

Uh, uh... Good job, Tack, it works.

And I even got my Disappearing Gadget to work.

Hello.

THE AUDIENCE CHEERS

THEY LAUGH

They love my play. Go, Mim-Mim, go!

HE YELLS

Oh! OK, let's see.

-BOOMER LAUGHS

-Funny play!

-TACK SOBS

-No!

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Oh, no.

Oh! I hear the ocean. It sounds blue.

Oh, no, it's a disaster.

-KATE GASPS

-Oh, no.

TACK YELLS

THE AUDIENCE GASP

Tack's recorder disappeared.

Without it, we can't finish the play.

Tack, we don't need your recording, we have you. Go on, Tack.

-We know you can do it.

-We believe in you.

THEY CHEER

OK, erm, now, where were we?

-That's it, Tack, you're doing great.

-Mm-hmm!

Oh, yeah, I remember.

Thanks to my friends, I didn't give up.

THEY CHEER

I kept working hard and then I was struck by inspiration.

-BOOMER LAUGHS

-Ideas go boom.

TACK LAUGHS

I had so many ideas that I couldn't invent them fast enough.

I made socks that made you hop.

-Whoa!

-BOOMER YELLS

Hands that help you grab.

THEY GASP

Again, again!

And machines that do chores.

Shouldn't we talk about this first?

Oh, boy, I'm me again.

Huggable and purple. THEY CHEER

My dream came true. I was a great inventor.

So, that's my story.

Without Gobble, Kate and Mim-Mim, Lily and Boomer, I couldn't have

finished this play and I wouldn't be the great inventor I am today.

THEY GASP

Wow! THEY LAUGH AND CHEER

-Surprise.

-ALL:

-We love you, Tack.

-Love you, Tack!

-Oh, bunny hugs.

THEY CHEER

Hello, there! I'm Kate's mum and I'm Kate's dad.

-Is that us? We're in your play?

-Uh-huh.

It's about how you always encourage me

and make me feel like I can do anything. Ready to see it?

We can't wait.

-KATE CLEARS HER THROAT

-Places, everyone.

It's showtime!
