Ah, me love to discover new tings. Can we stay and check it out?

Zoomer, we've got to practise first.

Come on, crew, let's ride.

Laters.

Oh, Easy Crew.

Papa, them pizzas smell crazy good.

Me never smelt anything like them before.

That's because I am trying out new flavours.

I am very excited because my cousin Seniora G

is visiting today from far away,

and I want to show off my pizza skills and impress her

with some new flavours she never ever tasted back home.

Ha-ha! You got bare skills, Papa.

She's bound to be impressed.

-A tavola non si invecchia.

-What dat mean?

Ah. A little saying in our family.

-It means...

-RADIO CRACKLES

Rastamouse, come in, come in. Are you reading me?

Message from President Wensley Dale.

Come immediately.

Sorry, Papa, we'd better move double quick.

-Laters.

-Ha-ha. Ciao, Easy Crew.

Oh, Easy Crew,

thank goodness you're here. You see me proper vexed.

Me try to get through to Branston,

-but him not answer me calls or me texts.

-Oh.

Him supposed to be hosting Discovery Day

for all the likkle orphan mice,

but him nah show up or answer him phone.

Something just nah right.

That nah like Professor Branston.

Him usually proper organised.

Well, him nah seem to organise Discovery Day, that's for sure.

And them likkle orphans will be proper upset when them discover,

well, that there's nothing to discover.

That is dread. But what is Discovery Day all about, anyway?

Well, Zoomer, it's a special occasion

-where the likkle ones get to learn something totally new.

-Wicked.

That sounds real important.

But you nah fret now, Mr President,

me and the Easy Crew are on the case.

Yo, Branston. Wa'gwan?

Ah, Easy Crew.

I'm so sorry, but I don't have the time to chat.

You see, we are in the middle

-of a UFO investigation.

-A U-F-what?

An unidentified flying object.

Hoo-hoo. Cool.

Interesting.

But, Professor, aren't you supposed to be organising Discovery Day

-for them likkle orphans?

-Oh, no!

I was completely forgetting to do this!

But I got extremely distracted this morning

when Rubba and Dub called me.

They have seen the most curious thing,

something I have been wanting to see

for my entire stargazing career.

They saw a spaceship from outer space!

-What?!

-From outer space?!

Wow! A spaceship!

Can we stay and see if Professor Branston can spot it, Rastamouse?

We'd better tell them orphans that Discovery Day has been cancelled.

Come on, Easy Crew, back to the orphanage.

-Oh, yo, Easy Crew.

-Easy Crew, what's up, yo?

Yo, guys,

we just passed by Professor Branston at the Planetarium.

Branston said you told him about the spaceship.

-That's right.

-That's right.

-We saw it.

-We saw it.

-A spaceship.

-A spaceship.

-The spaceship parked in the forest.

-In the forest.

-We saw all the smoke and flashing lights and ting.

-Flashing and ting.

-The spacemouse come straight out of the ship.

-Straight out.

-Him run around, get back in, and then drove away.

-Drove away?

-Gone.

Me thought spaceships fly.

-Did the mouse say anything?

-He said all kinds of ting.

-Yes, him proper chatty.

-Chatty.

-Very.

-But all space talk.

-Space talk.

-Can't understand a word of it.

-Not a word.

-Mm-mm.

-Nothing.

This is a proper mystery.

We'd better go to the orphanage.

-Laters.

-Laters.

-Bye.

Yo, Spike, what are you filming today?

Oh, boy, this is gonna be good!

I've got some amazing footage that's gonna wow the whole of Mouseland!

Let me guess. You saw a spaceship.

-How did you know?!

-Just a hunch.

Well, I got it all on camera.

It came crashing right through the trees towards me,

with lights flashing and smoke all over the place.

I could hear all of this yabbering in space talk.

-So you're on your way to show Professor Branston?

-No way!

I'm going straight back to the forest to get more footage. Heh-heh.

-Fats is gonna give me a ride.

-Hm.

Spike, do you mind if we come along for the ride?

No! Not at all, Rastamouse!

But what about Discovery Day and them likkle ones?

Me tink we need to see what this spaceship ting all about first.

Wicked. Fats is gonna take us to see the spacemouse.

So you tink it was round here

-that you spotted that spaceship from outer space?

-That's right!

ZOOMER SNIFFS What this?

It smell like strawberries.

And over here, look!

-Is that space dust?

-Nah. Chocolate sprinkles.

This is weird.

Let's follow that trail.

Look at them flashing lights.

Rastamouse, it's the spaceship!

A-ha! Roll camera and action!

Come on, crew.

Look!

That nah a spaceship. It's just a van.

An ice cream van.

But why would a spacemouse from outer space

be flying in an ice cream van?

Hm-hm-hm. It's the spacemouse!

Zoomer, that's not a spacemouse.

-It's just an ordinary mouse covered...

-In ice cream.

Argh! Cut!

Are you sure? She saw a likkle spacemouse.

Sono venuto e condividere

il mio gelato con i bambini.

Me sorry, sistren, but we nah understand.

What are we going to do, Rastamouse?

A tavola non si invechia!

Mm. A tavola.

Non si invechia.

Now, that sound familiar! Me tink me got an idea.

Fats, can you get the truck to tow the ice cream van?

-Sure ting, boss.

-OK.

If you can help out this poor mouse,

then meet me and the Easy Crew at Papa's Pizza

and we can solve this spaceship mystery.

Oh, Rastamouse. Just the mouse I was hoping to see.

My cousin has not shown up and I'm getting a little worried.

Ah, ciao, cugino,

sono sollevato di vederti.

Cousin, is that you? What happened?

-You're all covered in ice cream.

-We found her in the woods

and me recognised some of the words she said,

-and thought YOU might understand.

-That's right.

This is my cousin, Seniora G,

and she not speak a word of English at all, only Italiano.

-SCRATCHY & ZOOMER:

-Oh.

So she not from outer space.

How about you translate for us and tell us all what happened?

-SHE WHISPERS

-Ah. Oh.

My cousin was on her way to visit me

in her big old ice cream truck...

A-ha. Oh. ..when she get lost in the forest,

and then she crashed and the truck got stuck.

A-ha. Oh.

So she tried to push the van,

but it weighed more than a tonne.

A-ha. Oh.

Then all of the ice cream,

it started to melt in the crazy hot Mouseland sun.

A-ha, a-ha. Oh.

She brought the ice cream all the way here,

so that all of Grove Town could have a taste. Huh?

But without help, she won't save a single scoop

and now it's all going to go waste.

That is dread. All of that ice cream...gone!

Well, it looks like we solved the mystery of the UFO spaceship,

but there's still no Discovery Day for the likkle ones.

Hm. Me tink me got an idea to make a bad ting good,

but, first, we gotta call the Pres.

PHONE RINGS

Greetings. Ah, Rastamouse.

A spaceship? Wa?

Ice cream?

Papa's cousin?

Oh, goodness me.

But Discovery Day has been saved?

Are you sure?

That plan does sound proper, me tink.

Hello, little ones!

I'm so sorry that I got distracted

from my plans for Discovery Day.

I had been planning to teach you about the stars and the moon,

but Rastamouse has suggested

a whole different plan.

And now with a likkle help from Papa and Bagga T,

Discovery Day is going to be all about learning Italian.
