THUNDER CRACKS

Oh! O-o-o-oh!

Ooooh!

Flash! Boooom! Hrraarrr!

Hee-hee-hee.

Hello. This must be the noisiest weather I've ever heard.

But I'm not scared. Nope.

Nope-ity nope. THUNDER CRASH

Ooh! Why does the sky keep flashing?

And how can the sky be so noisy?

When you need to know,

go to Okido!

BOING!

BOING!

BOING!

-Hello, Zoe.

-Hello, Messy.

-Hello, Felix.

-Hi, Messy.

What a wet, rainy day.

Let's go inside.

Huh? ZOE AND FELIX GIGGLE

This...

weather's...

very...

weird!

It's only raining on me!

Look up, Messy.

Oh! Hee-hee-hee. It's Fluff! Hello.

Hello, Messy.

Fluff has been helping us to water the grass.

It's been a very hot day.

We have had such fun.

But I have to go home now.

Do you want to come with me and meet my family?

GASPS Yes, please.

I would love to!

So would I.

OK, then. Just follow me up the mountain.

-Woohoo!

-Woohoo!

-WHISTLES

Let's ski-doodle, Okidoodle!

Oh, no. Are we lost in the fog?

-LOUD VOICE:

-No.

-Oh! Who said that?

Hee-hee. This is my big brother, Foggy.

Hello.

Hello.

He is a little scared of heights, so he is always on the ground.

And here is my dad.

Call me Silas.

And...

-here is my mum, Alta.

-Hello.

And my little brother Nimby.

Hello.

These are my friends - Zoe, Felix and Messy.

-Hi.

-Hello.

-Pleased to meet you.

Hello, everyone.

-Hello.

-Hello.

We have been trying out my new cloud-tracking machine.

And it looks like it works.

Oh! Hello, you three.

What are you doing here?

Fluff invited us to meet her family.

What's for dinner? What's for dinner? What's for dinner?

Water, Nimby. What else?

Water! It's water for dinner! Water. I love it! Water, water, water.

Mum? Dad? Does Nimby seem a little overexcited to you?

He's going to get the lightnings.

The lightnings?

No. Nimby's not going to get the lightnings.

Water, water, water. I love water. Mmm. Water. Suck it up.

Water for dinner.

BOOM CRACKLE

Oh! What was that?

-I'm not sure.

-Maybe he's just got a rumbly tummy.

-It's the lightnings.

Ooh! What are the lightnings?

Wheeee!

Nimby. Have you been heating up your bottom on warm air?

My bot... No.

No. No, I wasn't, I never.

BOOM CRACKLE

Was that a little flash of lightning, Nimby?

-No. No, it wasn't me.

-ZAP!

-Oh, he has got the lightnings!

-He's got the lightnings.

-He's got the lightnings.

-Whee!

Yes, you're right. Nimby has the lightnings. The thunder...

Well, it's a giveaway.

What are the lightnings?

Zim, can I get the lightnings too?

No, Messy. You're not a cloud.

You see, Nimby's very cold inside.

In fact, he's so cold inside

that his raindrops are freezing.

Oh, poor Nimby.

Oh, no, Felix. It's normal for some clouds to be cold inside.

The problem is that, when he warms his bottom on hot air,

his insides get all excited and go completely topsy-turvy.

And, because he's excited inside,

all the hot and cold air,

water and ice is moving about

and mixing together.

And all that churning and mixing

makes electricity.

And when there's enough electricity,

it makes lightning!

-Wheeee!

-ZAP!

Did you see that?

I've got the lightnings!

Everybody, aboard the Cloudship. We should follow him.

Fluff, you go in the Cloudship and help.

We'll wait here in case he comes back this way.

THUNDER CRASH

Oh! Lightning is so exciting.

Yes, it's amazing, Messy. And as long as you're inside, nice and dry.

And definitely not standing under something tall, like a tree.

It's like a fireworks show.

Balabalaboomboom!

So, Nimby's insides are all excited and mixing about,

and that's why he's making lightning.

That's right, Felix.

Hmm. So, what makes the noise of the thunder?

Ah, well, lightning's very, very hot.

In fact, it's so hot it makes the air move.

And the air moves so fast that it makes a noise.

And that noise is thunder.

But, listen.

Now the thunder is coming a long time after the lightning.

That means that Nimby's moving away from us.

The sound of the thunder

moves slower than the flash

of the lightning.

So, if Nimby's a long way away,

we see the flash

before we hear the thunder.

Well, do you know where Nimby's going, then?

Mm. Well, according to my cloud-tracking machine,

Nimby's heading right towards...

-the ice rink.

-Oh, no! That's where the grand finale

of Okido Sports Day is happening! Today!

If Nimby gets there, Okido Sports Day will have to be called off!

For the first time ever.

Oh, we have to think of a way to calm Nimby down

before he gets there.

Let's go to the ice rink!

THUNDER CRACKS

Nimby sounds very close.

Oh! I know, I know!

Let's just pick up the ice rink and move it somewhere safe.

Mm, how will we pick up the ice rink, Messy?

Using Zam's amazing ice-rink-moving machine.

I haven't invented an amazing ice-rink-moving machine, Messy.

Well, you've still got a few minutes.

Nimby's excited because he warmed his bottom up.

Yes.

If Nimby's top, his middle and his bottom are all the same temperature,

they won't be mixing up.

-He'll be calm inside.

-THUNDER CRACKS

Zam! Bring out your amazing cloud's-bottom-cooling machine,

before it's too late!

-Messy.

-OK, sorry.

Whoops! Aaah! Hooo!

Now I've got a cold bottom.

Of course!

If we blow cold air from the ice rink towards Nimby,

we can cool his bottom half down and cure his lightnings.

Ready, Fluff? Ready, Zoom?

-NIMBY:

-Wheeee!

I've got the lightnings, I've got the lightnings.

Here he comes!

Zoom! Fluff! When I say "now", blow icy air at Nimby's bottom!

Lightning, lightning. Whoa. Who wants to see some lightning?

Look, I'm flashing my bottom.

Now!

Ooh, ohh, ooh! Cold, cold! Cold bottom!

O-o-o-o-oh. Oh, that's better.

O-o-o-o-oh.

-Have the lightnings gone?

-Yes, they have. Phew.

I'm never going to warm my bottom on warm air again, I promise.

I know I've said that before, but I promise.

-Ha-ha. It's OK, Nimby.

-Don't worry.

Some clouds are supposed to get the lightnings from time to time.

It was great!

-FLUFF:

-Thank you for your help, everyone. Nimby?

We should go home for dinner now.

OK, Fluff. Thank you, everyone. See you soon.

Bye-bye.

-ALL:

-Bye, Fluff. Bye, Nimby. Great to see you.

Oh. I've had a really exciting day.

But I want to see if there's still lightning and thunder at home.

-Bye! OTHERS:

-Bye, Messy.

Zap! Lightning! Boom! Thunder!

So, lightning is electricity.

And thunder is the sound of the air moving. Hmm.

And together they are the messiest, noisiest weather I've ever seen!

Bye-bye!

THUNDER RUMBLES

Balabalaboomboom!
