Finally, school's over for the summer.
-Outta the way! -Aah!
[ Scoffs ]
That might've worked on a kindergartner,
but I'm a first-grader now.
Aah! Craig! What are you doing?
It's summer!
I don't need my school clothes anymore!
Welcome to Pasta La Vista.
May I take your order?
Yes, I would like one picture with my son
on his first day at his summer job.
That's not on the menu, Mom.
Craig! What are you doing?
Throwing away my school clothes.
It-- It's summer.
Yeah, for only three months.
Don't you ever say that about summer!
Summer is forever!
That's not how the rotation of the Earth works, Craig.
Bernard.
Don't worry about that, Craig.
You should just enjoy summer while it's here.
But don't throw away those clothes
or you'll be wearing your undies to school come September.
[ All laughing ]
Craig: Summer at the creek!
A time for new faces to arrive...
Join the Junior Forest Scouts
and become a productive member of creek society.
Sign paper now! Pledge allegiance to the Scouts!
[ Screams ]
...and familiar faces to say goodbye.
Going away to sleep-away camp for three months?
That's crazy.
Just like my sale on postcards!
Three for one! Don't cry, just buy.
A time for new experiences...

I can feel the wind on my knees.
What an exhilarating sensation.

get stuck in things.
Come on, sometimes I just fall off things.

Craig: [ Grunts ] There.
Still got all your fingers, JP?
Yep. Wait.
Yep.
All right.
[ Grunts ] Who's first?
Ya girl's about to touch the stratosphere.
Did you feel that?Feel what?
I thought I felt a raindrop.
Nah, it must've been bird poop.
[ Thunder rumbles ]
Aahh! It's raining bird poop!
Ah, looks like Human Slingshot
will have to wait 'til tomorrow.
Aw, but Human Cannon was supposed to be tomorrow.
W-We can do Human Cannon on Thursday.
But Thursday is Expired Chip Day at the Trading Tree.
We can't miss that!
I won't let us miss that.

Great.

I can't believe it's been raining two days in a row.
Well, at least we've got Chaos Checkers to keep us occupied.
Hah! Queen me!
And do a backflip.
All right. Ha! [ Groans ]
Hyah! Oof.
Hyah! [Grunts]
Look, I gotta jump off something higher.
Chaos Checkers is fun,
but we're supposed to be outside,
making hang gliders or getting splinters.
Do you think someone wished for it
to rain all summer?
You wish for that, JP?
Heck no!
But even if I did,
I wouldn't tell you because wishes are secret.
I-I'm -- I'm sure it's just a coincidence
that it's storming like this.
It'll probably clear up tomorrow.

Kelsey: You sure you can't go to the library?
Stacks said they got a shipment of summer reading books,
and I want to see if I can read at the 8th grade level.
[ Groans ]
I'm sorry, guys.
I'm just not feeling up to it.
[ Sniffles ]
Man, you're really sick.
[ Sneezes ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
I think it's 'cause we got stuck in the rain.
I dunno, JP and I both were there
and neither of us are sick.
Well, to be fair, I do have a superior immune system.
I always get a flu shot,
and once a year, I lick the bottom of my shoe.
I don't know what's going on.
I'll probably feel better tomorrow.
See ya.
[ Cellphone beeps ]
[ Sniffles ]
Poor guy.
You've barely touched your leaf.
What is happening to us?
W-Why -- Why are we both so sick?
Summer is dying, Craig.
D-D-Did you just talk?
Yes. Summer is dying, Craig.
Mom!
Huh?
W-Whoa. You're one big bug.
[ Laughs ]
I am no mere bug.
I am the spirit of summer!
And you have violated the rules of summer
by keeping both of us from our sacred duties --
me, from whispering your wish to the universe,
and you, from making Human Slingshots
and cool stuff like that.
Is that why it's been raining every day?
Just because I haven't made a wish?
I am afraid so.
Summer cannot begin until the last wish is made.
You must make your wish.
But on what?
I have to make this summer count.
It's only three months long,
and I only have so many left.
It is true. Summer is not forever.
But if you wait to experience life,
you won't experience anything at all.
[ Sneezes, coughs ]
Are you sure this isn't a dream?
Because my mom says I have a fever.
Yo, my mom says I have a fever, too!
But I'm pretty sure this is real.
Go, Craig.
Or else summer, and both of us,
will disappear forever.
I gotta call Kelsey and JP.
You kept your wish?!
Why would you do that?
I wanted to save my wish in case we really needed it,
for if JP got his face stuck in a fence
or if we were attacked by a horde of orcs.
I just wanted this to be the best summer,
but now it's gonna rain until September
unless I free this spirit.
Whoa! [ Grunts ]
You're burning up. Just make your wish now.
No, it has to be in the meadow or it won't work.
[ Weakly ] I can make it.

It's too bad you didn't wish for something cooler
