Mudskippers Octonauts

-ALARM

-Octonauts, to your stations!

ALARM

Barnacles! Kwazii!

Peso!

-Explore!

-Rescue!

-Protect!

Octonauts!

-PESO SIGHS

-What a long day!

I can't wait to get back to the Octopod to get some rest.

Don't worry, Peso, we'll be home in no time.

It just so happens that I know a super secret short cut

through a mangrove forest. Turn left up here, Captain.

Something's not right here.

-The mangrove forest is completely flooded!

-He's right, Captain.

Here's what the mangrove forest used to look like.

And now it's almost all underwater.

We'd better take a look around and see if any creatures

need our... Oh! We'll swim the rest of the way, Peso.

-BARNACLES SIGHS

-Looks like it's deserted.

Aye.

PESO GASPS AND GULPS

We should all stay alert. Let's spread out and check for creatures.

BOTH: Aye, Captain.

No creatures here, Captain.

All clear over here too.

No creatures here either.

Octonauts, let's move out!

-Ow!

-Ohh!

Huh! What...? What's going on?!

Hello. What are you doing in here?

Flappety-flippers!

-Kwazii, Peso, open your helmets quick!

-No!

Don't worry, we just need to open our helmets

-so we can get you back in the water.

-Forget about it!

This water's too deep for us and we can't swim too good.

But you're fish ! What kind of fish doesn't want to be in the water?!

Ain't it obvious? We're mudskippers.

-Mudskippers?!

-That's right.

-We can breathe air.

-HE INHALES

So we spend most of our time on land.

Mud's what we need, that's where we live and that's where we eat.

There used to be plenty of mud around here,

but now it's all underwater.

Oh! So that's why you hitched a ride in our helmets.

With everything flooded, we can't stay here, there's hardly any mud.

Yeah, if we don't find a new place, we're done for!

HE SOBS

Well, why didn't you say so?

We'll help you find a new home, mateys!

-HE SOBS

-Oh, you'd do that for us?

-What's the catch?

-There's no catch at all.

We're the Octonauts, helping sea creatures is what we do.

-OK.

-OK.

-But it's not like we need help or nothing.

-Of course not.

But you'd be doing us a favour if you let us help you.

Well, since you put it that way, sure, why not?

-ALARM

-Octonauts, to the launch bay!

ALARM

Octonauts, we need to find a new home

for our friends the mudskippers.

Mudskippers, eh? Fascinating! I've never seen one up close.

They'll need a place with lots of mud.

There's another mangrove forest nearby, Captain.

-This one's not flooded.

-There should be plenty of mud there.

If we leave now, we should be able to get there by tomorrow morning.

Hey, don't go out of your way on our account.

-Oh, we happen to be heading that way anyway.

-What a coin-ci-dink.

I ask you, what are the odds?

Tunip, let's prepare a nice muddy space for our guests

-in the garden pod.

-No bother, Captain.

Dashi, set a course for the mangrove forest.

Already on it, Captain.

I think you'll be all right in here, mudskippers.

Ah, the mud's a little lumpy, but...I guess it ain't terrible.

-Yeah, not bad.

-I've skipped in worse.

-Good.

-Well, we'll see you in the morning then.

-ALL: Nighty-night.

BARNACLES SNORES SOFTLY.

THUDDING What in the world...?!

Captain, what's that horrible noise?

I'm not sure, Peso.

It sounds like it's coming from the garden pod.

-What's going on?!

-Just solving a situation here.

-By mud wrestling?!

-He was in my mud!

Your mud? Forget about it! It's my mud now.

I'm not listening. Talk to the fin.

HE GROANS

Easy, mudskippers, we just want to... Whoa!

-What?!

-HE SPLUTTERS

They're heading for the HQ.

-Here's mud in your eye!

-Hey! Whoever jumps the highest

gets all the mud to himself.

You're on! Check this out!

Whaa-ha!

THEY WHIMPER

You call that a jump?! This is a jump.

-Hey!

-Jumping jellyfish! What's going on?!

KWAZII GROANS These mudskippers

are having a rumble over the mud and they sure fight dirty!

Of course, I should have known,

mudskippers like to have their own space and they often fight over it.

HE GROANS

Then there's only one way to settle this,

we'll have to the separate them

until we reach the mangrove forest in the morning.

Ha!

Peso, Kwazii, catch!

Kwazii, scoop up some mud and head for the game pod.

Peso, you take some mud to the launch bay.

And I'll head back to the garden pod.

Hey, that's my mud!

Come back!

Sorry about this!

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Catch me if you can.

HE LAUGHS

Is everyone comfortable now?

Sure am.

Thanks to Peso, I've got this whole place to myself.

Oh, yeah, Kwazii said the mud is all mine.

My name is Mud... Captain Mud.

Let's get some sleep now.

We need to take you mudskippers to your new home

as early as possible tomorrow morning.

Good night.

-Night.

-Good night.

Now, this is what a mangrove forest should look like!

Kwazii, Peso, let's spread out

and find some nice mud banks for our friends.

You going to let him order you around like that?

Well, he is the captain.

Says who? You're just as good as he is.

Him?! Don't make me laugh.

Kwazii here should be in charge.

Forget about it!

The captain here is the toughest guy around.

Well, you know, besides me of course.

Hmm.

Ah, they want to go their own way, fine by me.

Who needs those yo-yos. Am I right or am I right?

Just keep your eyes peeled for some mud, matey.

-HE LAUGHS

-You can count on me.

See anything yet?

I see...a seagull and another seagull.

And I see a crab and a lobster and a big old crocodile

-and a bunch of shrimps.

-Wait, what was the last one?

-The shrimp?

-No, the one before that?

-Oh, that was a crocodile.

-Oh.

Crocodile?! Yow!

KWAZII PANTS

KWAZII PANTS Captain! Peso!

I've got a giant crocodile on me tail!

We're on our way.

Hey, you want a piece of this, big guy? Come and get it!

That's not helping!

KWAZII GROANS

Phew! He's leaving!

My helmet! It's broken!

Uh-oh! We're trapped!

Don't worry, matey, I'll get us some air.

KWAZII INHALES

Good thinking, pal.

-Hmm. Any sign of them?

-Nada, zip. Nothing.

-Over there, Captain.

BREATHING NOISES

-Kwazii!

-This calls for some polar bear strength.

BARNACLES GROANS

Come on, you can do it!

We're rooting for you, big guy!

BARNACLES GROANS

-Thanks, Captain!

-Hey, no biggie.

I could have done that if I wasn't stuck in this stinking helmet.

KWAZII SIGHS

Here we are.

-Hey, check it out! Not bad!

-It looks like

there's plenty of room for all of you here.

-Whoopee! Love the new location!

-Thanks for helping us.

Even though we didn't really need it.

-Hey, give me some fin.

-Yeah!

ALL LAUGH

You think I'm going to let those yahoos

grab all the best spots? Forget about it!

-Do you think the mudskippers will be all right here?

-Hey! That's mine!

HUBBUB

I have a feeling they'll be just fine.

Or as they might say...forget about it!
