0:00:35 > 0:00:39You might be wondering why one day a little crocodile

0:00:39 > 0:00:44was sitting in the middle of nowhere playing a ukulele.

0:00:44 > 0:00:49Well, I can tell you. He was the Koala Brothers' new neighbour

0:00:49 > 0:00:54and he was waiting for Frank to come and pick him up in the plane.

0:00:54 > 0:00:59Back at the homestead, Frank was getting ready to fly out.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Stand by! - Standing by!

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Chocks away, Buster!

0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Chocks away, Frank! - Get the gate, Ned.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm getting the gate, Frank!

0:01:38 > 0:01:42While Frank collected their new neighbour,

0:01:42 > 0:01:48Buster and Ned had another job to do - one that made them worried.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50What are you two doing?

0:01:50 > 0:01:56- We've got to clean the house by the water hole.- What? The scary house?!

0:01:56 > 0:02:01The one with the creaky door? I bet you're too scared to go there!

0:02:01 > 0:02:06- We're not scared - are we, Ned? - N-n-no.

0:02:06 > 0:02:12The old house by the water hole had stood empty for a long time.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Do I HAVE to come with you? - I'm not going on my own!

0:02:16 > 0:02:21Frank said we'd have to get it ready for our new neighbour.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Even the door made a scary, squeaky noise!

0:02:26 > 0:02:30CREAK! I'M not going near that place!

0:02:30 > 0:02:34- CREAK! - Ah-h!- Ah-h!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Wait, Ned! Wait for me!

0:02:42 > 0:02:45HE GASPS FOR BREATH

0:02:59 > 0:03:02HE GASPS FOR BREATH

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Phew!

0:03:06 > 0:03:11It wasn't long before Frank returned with their new neighbour.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Hello!

0:03:19 > 0:03:25- Ah, I'm going to like it here! - Buster, meet our new friend.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Ah, Mr Buster! Nice to meet you.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32The name's Archibald P Crocodilus. But YOU can call me Archie.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35I hope to make lots of new friends.

0:03:35 > 0:03:40Let's help Archie take his things to the water hole.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Buster and Ned cleaned the house - didn't you, Buster?

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Um...

0:03:47 > 0:03:53Buster didn't want to admit they were too scared to clean the house.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03And no-one was more scared than Ned!

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Ah! This place looks lovely!

0:04:09 > 0:04:12I can't wait to meet everyone.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16I love having visitors and making friends!

0:04:16 > 0:04:20Oops! You DID clean the house?

0:04:20 > 0:04:26CREAK! Ha! Ha-ha! What a funny noise!

0:04:26 > 0:04:29"Funny"? Most people think that's scary!

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Oh, no.- I- don't. I think it's funny!

0:04:34 > 0:04:39Listen... CREAK, CREAK!

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Like funny, squeaky music!

0:04:45 > 0:04:47I love it!

0:04:48 > 0:04:52At least Archie was happy in his new home!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57The next morning, Alice came to the water hole.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01- She'd never liked the scary house. - CREAK!

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Ah-h!

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Hello?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16FLIES BUZZ

0:05:16 > 0:05:20SOMEONE PANTS FOR BREATH

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Hah! Oh! Hoo!

0:05:23 > 0:05:27Morning! I haven't had any visitors yet.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31- It's early days. Give it time. - Will do!

0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Come on, Ned! Come out and meet Archie.- I'm not coming out.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Anyone who lives in a scary house must be scary!

0:05:46 > 0:05:51Still no visitors. D'you think I'll get to make some new friends soon?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53I'm sure you will.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57You know, chaps, I've had an idea.

0:05:57 > 0:06:02I've decided to invite everyone to a party at my house.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06That way, I can make lots of new friends.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08I think that's a very good idea.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12I'll give you a list of people to invite.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18So Archie made up some party invitations

0:06:18 > 0:06:21and posted them in town.

0:06:22 > 0:06:27- Have you got your invitation to the party, George?- What party?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30At the house by the water hole.

0:06:30 > 0:06:37Oh! Yeah... I think I'm busy that day. I... Gotta go! ..See ya!

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Everyone got their invitations.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Oh!

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Oh! Are you going, Josie?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55To the scary house? I don't...

0:06:55 > 0:06:59No-one's going - not to the scary house!

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Oh...! - TOOT!

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Um, Frank, when can we eat?

0:07:09 > 0:07:14I told you! We have to wait until everyone else arrives.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19- Why don't we play some music? - Um, not tonight, if you don't mind.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Though Archie put a brave face on it,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26he was disappointed hardly anyone had come.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29I AM a nice chap, don't you think?

0:07:29 > 0:07:34- Yes, of course you are, Archie. - Definitely. ..Can we eat?

0:07:34 > 0:07:39Then why didn't anyone come to my party?

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- FOOTSTEPS CRUNCH - Somebody's coming!

0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Ah-h!- Hello, Ned! I didn't think you were coming.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Buster said there'd be balloons and cake. Any left?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Hello, Mr Ned!

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Oh, come in, come in!

0:08:00 > 0:08:04CREAK! No!

0:08:04 > 0:08:08The sound of the scary door! Please don't open it!

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- That's it!- I- know what the problem is!- You DO?

0:08:14 > 0:08:17CREAK, CREAK!

0:08:17 > 0:08:23- Everyone thinks this old house is scary!- It IS, isn't it?

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Doesn't seem scary to me! - That's why nobody's come -

0:08:27 > 0:08:30they're scared of this old house!

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Is that true, Ned?- Mmm.- Hmm.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38I've got an idea!

0:08:38 > 0:08:42And so the next day, Frank and Buster - and Ned -

0:08:42 > 0:08:46helped Archie redecorate the house.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49They even oiled the squeaky door!

0:08:59 > 0:09:03What d'you think, Mr Ned? I like it!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Nobody could be scared now!

0:09:06 > 0:09:11And so the new friends decided to have ANOTHER party!

0:09:11 > 0:09:14And this time EVERYONE came along!

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- EVERYONE CHEERS - Thanks to Frank and Buster,

0:09:20 > 0:09:23the party was a big success.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28- I- was never scared! As soon as I got my invitation...

0:09:28 > 0:09:33And Archie finally did get his wish to make lots of new friends!
