Oof! Oof!
Where's my sweet boy going in such a hurry?
And what on Earth is he doing with all those jump ropes?
Uh, you know, creek stuff at the creek
where I go every day for the rest of my life,
which, fingers crossed, will be a very long time.
Uh, should I be concerned?
Mm, good question.
No.
Okay. I just don't want to have to come down to the creek
to get you because you're tangled up
in a spider web of jump ropes.
No, no, no. They're just for playing.
Well, I trust you to stay safe.
Don't worry.
I would never do something dangerous at the creek.
Pull me up. Pull me up. Pull me up!
Whoa. That was close.
So, did you get what was stuck in the hillside?
Check it. Ooh. Ooh.
Open it up.
All: It's balls!
Wait, it's just balls?
Nah, they're robot eyes.Robot eyes?
They're definitely scrying orbs, you know, for scrying.
Hmm, I think I know who we can ask about these things.
Great ancient wisdom is what we seek,
so we call upon you,
the Elders of the Creek.
Uh, Elders?
Uh, wait a minute.
Didn't there used to be a hole here?
Oh, here it is.
Come on, y'all. [ Grunting ]
Aw, seems a lot smaller.
Okay.
Guys, I think I grew.
What happened?
I'll check the live feed. They usually stream
their "Goblins and Grottos" games around now.
I'm s-so cold.
-A viewer! -The chat is blowing up.
What's up, chat?
It's your boy, David, here, coming at you live --
David, stop. We're trapped under a rock.
Help, help!
And don't forget to like, comment, and save us!
Oh, my creek.
They're trapped under Elder Rock.
We're outside.
Come to the hole.
Mark: Move. Move. Move.
David: Ow, my horns!
George, Elaine, Kramer, you heard our cries for help.
Elder Mark, what happened?
[ Clears throat ] Well, you see, a harmless conversation
about our new favorite show, "My Hoagie Academia,"
and some of its associated merchandise got out of hand.
I still don't get why this side character
deserves a fully articulated figurine.
Because it's moe, you fool!
Anyway, words were said, replica swords were drawn,
and bing, bang, boom, the rock fell.
How long have you guys been stuck down there?
Well, it's 3:27, so 5 days.
A third of a fortnight.
Please, you got to help us.
We're running dangerously low on shrimp chips.
We only have 10 bags left.
Cool, cool.
So tell us about these balls.
Whoa, Coolshigi orbs.
Ooh, looks like they're floating, right?
You can do all kinds of tricks with them.
Hey, kids, you too can master the art of Coolshigi.
This is serious.
The creek's wisest sages are trapped under a rock.
Whoops.I got to call someone.
Craig, your mom is home from work, right?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We don't need to bring a parent into this.
Nobody is hurt. They've got plenty of shrimp chips.
Barry: We're down to eight bags, guys.
Plentyof shrimp chips.
They are trapped under a boulder.
Kelsey, if a parent or guardian walks in here,
they're gonna take one look around
and say the creek is too dangerous to play in.
We've got to fix this ourselves.
Don't worry, your Elderships, me and my friends
are gonna get you guys out of there.
Well, if you really want to help us, take this.
Cover my shift at Digital City.
I cannot lose my employee discount.
With great height comes great Elder pretend-ability.
I'm on it.
Good luck, my friend.
Time to go push some phone plans
to people who did not come in to buy phone plans.
Let's get to work, too.
It's time to bust out the blueprint journal.
♪♪
All right. Here's my plan.
We dig under Elder Rock.
Elders, we're digging you out.
Do you have anything you can dig with from your side?
Unfortunately, there's absolutely nothing
inside Elder Rock that could possibly be used for digging.
Uh, what about this shovel?
Are you insane? That's the deluxe replica shovel
from the hit anime "Shovelmaster Gorobi Q."
Think of the depreciation if I were to use it
as an actual shovel.
Dude, what's more important, the shovel,
or getting out of here to see another day?
I-I can't imagine a life without her.
Mark, it's a shovel.
Shh, they're having a moment.
All right. I've made up my mind.
We'll do this together -- as a couple.
Uh-oh, I hit rock.
Gorobi, forgive me.
Aaaaaaaah!
Oh, boy.
Come on, Mark. The anime wasn't that good anyway.
Are you serious?
Eh, maybe we should try calling your mom.
No, I have another idea.

Hey, where you off to, double shirt?
Oh, I'm just covering a shift for Elder Mark at Digital City.
The Elders are trapped under Elder Rock
and may never get out.
Whoa, that sounds dangerous.
I got to watch.Well, I'm off to the rat race,
and then I got to go to work. See you!
Gorobi was the shovel, you fool.
Her soul was trapped in it.
New plan.
If my calculations are correct, and they usually are,
when you and I jump off the rock on to the catapult,
our combined mass should immediately
send Elder Rock 300,000 feet into the air,
allowing the Elders ample time to escape
before it gently arrives back in its original spot.
Kelsey: Mm, mm. Is this part necessary?
Uh, yeah, Kelsey.
It's got to be just like I drew it.
All right. Three, two, one, liftoff!
Yeah!
Just like I drew it.
Craig, this is a great idea,
and I can't believe it didn't work,
but we have to call your mom.
Uh, no, this situation has not gone
to parental-intervention levels yet.
We can do this.
This is it, our last snack.
Let's roll for it.
12. 14.
18. I won?
I won! Come to papa.
Not so fast.
My survivalist skills are plus 5, so I get it.
Well, I've got plus 8 for charisma, so I should get it.
Well, my speed is the highest.
David, stop. It's mine.
You're not even gonna eat it.
You just want to use it for your dumb Gorobi shrine.
So what?
I care more about her than I do you, you blockhead.
You kiss your shovel with that mouth?
Uh-oh.
Guys, stop.
[ Both growling ]
Mark: Ow.Wow, this is sad.
Yeah.
Want to guess who bites it first?
I'll put two Choco-Rolls on Elder Mark.
Ugh, traffic's so thick.
Guess it's podcast time.

Website Maker --
With Website Maker's easy-to-use layouts,
you're gonna be like, "Okay, I just did a website.
That wasn't hard."
Okay, this plan is gonna work.
Trip on this.
We put our raft under the rock,
pump some air in that bad boy to lift the rock,
Elders are free, and no parents in the creek.
All right. This better work.
Stop it. There's only dirt left.
Huh?
[ Both grunting ]
What the?
Hmm.
It's working! It's working!
Finally, sweet freedom.
Davey is firsty.
David, no. Let me up first.
We're saved.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I can come up with another plan.
Craig, it's over.
I am making the call.
You can't. You don't have the authorization.
Ow, ow. Give me your thumb!
Ah.

Well, hello, Craig.
Salutations, Miss Nicole.

JP!Hey, Miss Nicole.
Want to use my employee discount?
Hello?Mark: Well, chat...
Hello? ...this will be our last stream
and our last act as living humans on this Earth.
We'd like to thank our new subs, MunchoCruncho13,
ZeroMikhail, Operator60H...
The stream, that's it.
Don't you think they're kind of shallow?
Craig: Your Elderships.Huh?
Hand me your stream camera thing.
Attention, creek kids.
As funny as it is to watch the Elders bicker
and fight under a rock,
we need to come together and help free them.
We all play differently here at the creek,
but what unites us is that this is where we can be ourselves.
And if one of us is in trouble, we help each other out
because the creek is better than the outside world.
But if we don't help the Elders out now,
a parent is gonna come to the creek,
and then we're all in big trouble.
[ All gasping ]
We will help,
because my parents cannot know
I hang out in the sewer all day.
And so will we, 'cause if our parents ever saw
the sick jumps that we can land,
their brains would be spaghetti-fied.
And I'm operating a business without a license.
For the Elders.
All: For the creek!
You see this baby face? This right here is a child.
Why would you hire a child to work in your store?
I want his employee discount.
