All aboard! All aboard for Pancaster!

Are you sure you'll be all right when I'm gone?

-Oh, I think we'll cope.

-It's only for one night, Mum.

I know, but...

Off you go, love. Have a great time.

Say hello to Aunty Vicky!

WHISTLE!

-See you tomorrow, love.

-Bye, Mum.

-Bye!

Don't be late for school, Julian.

Don't forget to make your packed lunch before you go.

Don't worry, Mum, we won't forget anything!

-Huh!

-Dad?

-Miaow!

-What's up?

-I've forgotten my keys.

-Oh!

-We're locked out of the house.

Miaow!

-Woof! Woof!

-Hello, Bonnie, have you finished your breakfast?

-Woof!

-What's the matter?

You're not still hungry?

Woof! Woof! Woof!

SHE LAUGHS Let's go outside and check your bowl.

-Perhaps you don't like your new dog food.

-Woof!

DOOR RATTLES

What are we going to do?

There's got to be some way we can get in.

Miaow!

I forgot to close all the windows this morning.

Just as well you did, Dad.

If Jess can get in so can I.

Och! You've eaten every scrap.

I'm not giving you any more, Bonnie.

One breakfast is enough for a little dog like you.

BONNIE WHINES

Mmm! I love peanut butter.

I don't know how you can eat the stuff.

I'm a cheese and pickle man, myself.

Come on, Dad, Mum told us not to be late.

Now where did I put those keys?

Here they are, Dad!

What would I do without you, eh?

Come on, I'll drop you off at school on my way to the post office.

Miaow!

-What's up, Jess?

-<

-Julian!

Miaow!

Hurry, Julian! It's nearly nine o'clock.

Sorry, Mr Pringle. Bye, Dad!

Sorry, Jeff, Sara's away for the night

and we're running a bit late this morning. Gotta dash. Bye!

No problem, Pat. Bye!

DOOR OPENS

Morning, Mrs Goggins, sorry I'm late.

-Miaow!

-Oh dear, are you planning to send Bonnie as a parcel?

Och, no, Pat.

(But I am a bit worried about her. She's lost weight.)

Really? Well, she seems lively enough.

Why don't you get Amy to have a look at her?

-We can give you a lift if you like.

-Oh, thanks, Pat, that's very kind.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Bonnie.

But she certainly has lost weight.

-Is she eating normally?

-That's what's so strange, Amy.

She ate every scrap of her breakfast this morning

and then came in begging for more.

Mmm. That is odd.

Give her some more food at lunchtime and see how she gets on.

-I'll call by later to check how she is.

-Thanks, Amy, I'll do just that.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

BELL RINGS

-That's the lot for now, Jess.

-Miaow!

Time for lunch.

Ugh! Peanut butter!

I must have picked up Julian's lunchbox by mistake.

Which means that he must have got...

Cheese and pickle! Ugh!

Oh, yuck!

Oh, well, I suppose we better head back to the post office.

I wonder how Bonnie's getting along.

There you go, Bonnie.

You'll never be hungry after that lot.

Hello, Mrs Goggins. How's the patient?

-She seems fine, Pat. But...

-Woof! Woof!

-Oh! Bonnie!

-Oh!

-Well I never.

A hedgehog.

So that's why you're so hungry. A wee hedgehog's been pinching your food.

I'd better call Amy.

A hedgehog! Well, that explains why Bonnie was losing weight.

We should take him to the countryside, Pat.

Do you think you can catch him?

We'll give it a try, Amy. What should we do?

Get a cardboard box with lots of straw and air holes,

and try and tempt him inside.

We could use some of Bonnie's dog food. He certainly likes that.

Good idea, Pat. I'll be over as soon as I've finished.

-We'll drive him out to the country. Good luck.

-Thanks, Amy. Bye!

Now, all we've got to do is wait.

MRS GOGGINS SNORES

I don't think the hedgehog's very hungry.

-Not after all that...

-Miaow!

-(Pat.)

-What?

Look.

HE SNIFFS

There. HE SNIFFS

Quick, before he gets away.

-Got him!

-Woof! Woof!

Hello, Pat. Is this our hedgehog?

Och, he's a sweet wee thing, isn't he?

I wish he could stay in my garden.

I know, it's a shame. But he'll be better off in the country.

Come on, Mr Hedgehog. Let's take you back where you belong.

Here he comes.

HE SNIFFS

Come on, Pat, I'll drop you off back at the post office.

HE SNIFFS

It's true, Mum!

-Eggs!

-Dad found a hedgehog in Mrs Goggins' garden.

-He was eating Bonnie's dog food.

-Where are they?

-No, Mum, we're fine.

Aha!

Ooh!

Oh, no!

No, Jess. Leave it, leave it, Jess!

No, nothing's wrong. Dad's just em...

Oh-oh-oh!

..making pancakes.

Oh-oh-oh!

Nothing. I told you, Mum.

We're coping fine on our own. Aren't we, Dad?

HE SNIFFS

And they all lived happily ever after.

Ooh! What a day, eh, Julian?

-I'm about ready to go to bed myself.

-JULIAN SNORES

Julian?

-Night, night, Julian.

-Dad?

-Yes?

-Do you miss, Mum?

-Yes, I do, Julian.

Still we mustn't be sad.

She'll be home tomorrow.

I know, Dad, I can't wait.

Morning, Mrs Goggins.

Morning, Pat. Hello, Julian. Helping your dad today?

-Just till Mum gets back.

-Woof! Woof!

-Don't tell me you're hungry again, Bonnie.

-Come on, Jess!

Let's go and see if Bonnie's eaten her breakfast.

Stop it, Bonnie! There's no hedgehog to eat your food now.

Dad, quick! You'll never guess what we've found in the garden.

Oh!

Oh, so he is a she!

She's a mummy hedgehog.

And she's come back for her babies.

I'd better call Amy again.

Well, Pat, if our hedgehog's got babies, we mustn't move her again.

They'll have to stay in Mrs Goggins' garden.

I know, we could build a special hedgehog house to keep them safe.

Miaow!

There...finished!

We make a good team.

Yeah, at least there are some things we can do without Mum's help.

Yes, some. Come on, let's get this to the post office.

Oh, it's perfect, Pat. Oh, I'm really impressed.

Thanks, Amy. I couldn't have done it on my own.

All we have to do is wait and see

what they think of their new home.

Look!

SHE SNIFFS

-They like it!

-They certainly do.

Hey, Mum's train will be arriving any minute.

-We'd better go and meet her.

-Oh, yeah!

Bye, Mrs Goggins. Bye, Amy.

Bye-bye, hedgehogs.

-Bye, you two!

-Bye!

-Bye, Mrs Goggins.

Aw!

-AJAY:

-Greendale! Greendale! All tickets for Greendale!

There she is!

Mum! Mum! We've got something to show you!

PAT GIGGLES

And she came all the way back to find her babies, didn't she, Dad?

Poor, Mrs Hedgehog. I know just how she felt.

-I missed my baby, too. Mwwah!

-Oh, Mum!

Well, it's all turned out for the best.

The hedgehogs have got a lovely new home

and Bonnie can eat her dinner in peace.

-Woof!

-Miaow!

-Woof!

-Miaow!
