Sea Skaters Octonauts

SIREN WAILS 'Octonauts, to your stations!'

Barnacles!

Kwazii!

Peso!

-Explore!

-Rescue!

-Protect!

Octonauts!

What's our mission today, Captain? I'm ready for anything...

Sh-shiver me whiskers. What's that big green thing?

Some sort of humongous blob monster heading towards us?

I'm tracking a large mass of plankton

to see how wind and waves affect its path.

-A mass of what?

-Plankton.

That large patch of plankton

-is actually made up of teeny, tiny, little things.

-Er...oh, yes.

There are little animals and little green plants in the plankton.

But what's our mission, Captain?

The plankton is our mission for the next few weeks.

You mean, we're just going to sit here

and watch little bits of green gunk?

We can learn big things from little things.

Like how to go stir crazy with your tail stuck in one place.

I think Tweak could use some help with the GUP X.

The GUP X! Well, now you're talking.

I don't know.

It seems to me you are better at wrecking GUPs than fixing them.

-Oh, come on, matey, what have you got to lose?

-A GUP.

-Please!

Oh, all right, follow me.

What do you need me to do? Drive the tank up the side

-of an undersea volcano? See how fast a glider can fly upside down?

-Nope.

You want me to just sit on the Octo-ski?

You can try to get it going

after I clean all the plankton out of the engine.

Don't worry, I'll get her started.

Wait, Kwazii!

First I've got to...

Woo-hoo!

I've got it started. But how do I get it to stop?

ALARM BEEPS

Kwazii to Tweak, come in. Ahoy, Octopod. Anybody?

No problem, my pirate senses tell me

the Octopod is just a little bit back that way.

OK. A lot of bit back.

Left, right, skate. Left, right, skate.

-Left, right, skate.

-I'll be a sea monkey's uncle!

-It's a bug walking on water!

-Left, right, skate.

Not just any bug, my friend, I'm a sea skater! Call me Strider.

The only insect that can live on the ocean all the time.

-Amazing!

-But true.

I've got these little waterproof hairs on my legs

that let me walk on the waves.

That's a fancy trick for someone so little.

I may be little but I do big things.

Quit showing off, you're not the only one who can walk on water!

-This is my wife, Sally.

-Hiya.

Sally is a she skater.

All the she skaters are bigger than this he skaters.

But I'm faster.

If you're so fast, how come you haven't found any food?

We've been looking for days. There isn't any and the babies are hungry.

ALL: We need food.

-What do you sea skaters eat?

-We love to eat this floating green stuff.

That sounds like the plankton the Octonauts are looking at.

It's a big, green, all-you-can-eat floating feast.

And it's right over that way.

-I don't know. I usually find the food.

-What have we got to lose?

-Are you ready, kids?

-Yes.

Well, I hope you know what you're doing. OK, here we go.

Left, right, skate. Left, right, skate.

WIND BLOWS

Hurry, I don't like the look of this wind.

Any sign of Kwazii?

Not yet. I can't get him on the radio.

Don't worry, we'll find him.

This isn't the first time he's been lost at sea.

Captain, the wind is picking up and causing really big waves.

Cap, we've got to go out and find him before...

BANG!

It's getting rough out there. That big patch of plankton just hit us.

The radar is out. And I can't open the Octo-hatch.

-Nothing is working right.

-Sound the Octo-alert.

ALARM BLARES

Octonauts to the launch bay.

Octonauts, Kwazii is lost at sea.

Every door on the Octopod is jammed with plankton.

Oh, no. Kwazii is out there while we are stuck in here!

Any luck opening the Octo-hatch?

No, we've got to unjam the Octo-hatch

-before one of those waves hits Kwazii.

-We'll find a way.

We've got to make it to the Octopod before these waves get any bigger.

You're talking to a speed skater. Can't you swim any faster?

Come on, I'll race you.

Left, right, skate. Left, right, skate.

That's not fair. I had leg cramp.

Sorry about that, me hearty. I didn't see you there cos you're so...

-Don't say little.

-No. I mean, yes.

Coming through. Left, right, skate. Left, right, skate.

That's as far as I can get it.

I can't get through.

If Peso can't make it, who can?

ALL: Ta-da!

You did it!

Captain, I've found the Octo-ski.

But I'm tracking a really big wave and it's heading straight for Kwazii.

Let's go.

-Tweak, activate Glider.

-You got it.

-Hang on, kids.

-Time to bubble up.

-Time to what?

Bubble up. Remember those little hairs I told you about?

When the water gets really rough, it helps us do this.

So we can breathe even if we go underwater.

-Amazing!

-But true.

What about the babies?

ALL: Whee!

I don't have a bubble,

but you're welcome to take shelter in my Octo-ski.

-All aboard.

-It's OK, I've got it.

-My babies!

-Mummy!

I'll save them!

Don't be scared, kids, I've got you.

Strider!

He's gone! Stay with your babies, I'll get him.

We should see Kwazii any minute, Cap.

-Ah. There's nobody here.

-Hey! Who are you calling nobody?

Oh, hello. Who are you?

Never mind that. These waves are getting too big.

My husband and your friend are in danger.

Strider!

-Need a lift?

-No worries. What makes you think I need a...?

Are you all right?

Yeah, I know what you're thinking.

Poor little bug, too small to save himself.

That's not what I was thinking. Everybody needs saving sometimes,

-just like you saved the baby skaters!

-That's big.

-Right, you may be little, but you do big things.

-No, I mean that.

Shiver me whiskers!

We're going to need a bigger bubble.

Hang on.

Right on time, Captain.

Tweak, open the windscreen.

-Daddy!

-Did you miss me?

-Quit showing off.

-It's good to see you.

-You too, Tweak.

-Carrot?

-I don't mind if I do.

Mmm.

I've never seen something so little eat so much plankton.

Uh-uh. They may be little, but...

..we do big things.
