Hmm.
Nya!
Arr! Ahhh! [sighs in relief]
I'm so glad there's only one of me.
[scoffs] Okay, two if we count you.
But, really, there's only one.
Meow?

Ow! Thanks.
Sweet, Becky.
Yeah, Freckle.
[all] Little!
Ellen!
Gramsy!

- [children reading] - [Ellen] That's me!
[Ellen reading]
[Ellen] And then we'll show her Becky's house, then Freckle's House.
And definitely Old Man Meany's house.
[Becky] No, he's so nice.
[Freckle] Great guy.
And that's Becky, Freckle, and Ellen's grand tour of the street.
I love tours.
One time I went on a tour of a beehive.
And then I immediately went on a tour of the hospital.
Not my best idea.
It was a dark day for all of us.
But today's a great day
because Mrs. Adelaide's granddaughter is visiting,
and she's gonna love our tour.
And her name is Helen.
Wait, Ellen. Her name is Helen?
Does she have a cousin named Hecky?
And a best friend named Heckle?
[all laughing] We'll ask her.
And we'll ask her all about what it's like to live in California.
I've always wanted to go there.
I'd love to tour Cali.
Check out the Pacific Ocean,
play some gigs, get stuck in traffic.
My sisters say there's so much avocado toast in California.
Although I have no idea how to fit an avocado in a toaster.
Helen can tell us.
But coming to a new place
where she doesn't know anyone has got to be tough.
I'm sure she'll be really nervous.
- She's probably got butterflies in her stomach. - [Becky shivers]
I've always wondered what butterflies get in their stomachs
when they get nervous.
But we can figure that out later.
Right now, we got to make sure we give Helen the best welcome ever,
and be extra nice to her.
Hold up, hold up.
[wheels rumbling]
[rock music playing]
[together] Is that Helen?
Nuh-uh, nope, no way. That girl's way too confident.
[Helen] Yo, Ellen!
Becky! Freckle! Where you at?
It's me, Helen.
My gran said we'd be friends.
It is Helen.
But she's not nervous at all.
No, she looks fun. Let's go.
I got to know if she has a cousin named Hecky.
[indistinct chatter]
- [Charlie meows] - I know.
I thought she'd be nervous to meet us, too.
But let's get out there.
Ellen, you've got to meet Helen.
Ellen, Helen.
- Helen, Ellen. Ellen, Helen. - [Freckle beatboxing]
Ellen, Helen. Helen, Ellen. Ellen, Helen. Helen, Ellen.
- Hi, Helen. - Hi, Ellen.
My gran's told me all about ya.
- She did? - Totally.
Who's the cool cat?
That's Charlie. She's the best.
But she takes her time getting to know new people.
I get that. Meeting new people can be super hard.
Yeah, and we didn't want it to be hard for you to meet us.
That's why we've planned a tour of our street.
That's okay.
I already know my way around.
I visited my grams a bunch of times.
But it's a bummer we've never met.
You wanna play double Dutch instead?
- Oh, um... - Love a jump rope.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Suh-weet! Let's go.
Guess we didn't need to plan that whole tour.
[meowing]
But today's about Helen.
So double Dutch it is.
Yo, Ellen. Jump in with me.
Both of us?
You sure?
California, New Orleans, will you double Dutch with me?
[breathes deeply]
Crushed it.
Hey. Thing is amazing.
Jump and skip and hop and leap.
Freckle, Becky faster, please.
Yay!
Spin faster.
Uh... Eh...
Faster!
Even faster!
Oh, that might be a bit too fast.
Keep spinning.
Go, Helen.
[Charlie meowing]
It's okay, Charlie. I just couldn't keep up.
They still wanna play with me, too, right?
♪ Jump, jump Till the end of the song ♪
♪ Shake, shake, all day long ♪
[gasps] We know a song about shaking.
Me and Ellen and Freckle used to sing in a camp.
Ellen, sing the song about the squirrel that shakes its tail.
Come on, come on, do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the best camp song.
And Ellen is the best at leading it.
See, they still wanna play with me.
All right, let's do it.
But we have to go over to that tree.
This'll do.
[Charlie meowing]
Y'all ready?
I have literally never been more ready for anything in my entire life.
I definitely have, but I'm still excited.
I... can't wait to hear the song.

Yup, it's totally fun.

[Charlie meowing]
You're right, Charlie.
Thanks, squirrel.
It's time to remind Becky and Freckle that I'm just as fun as Helen.
But how?
Ah-ha!
Meow?
[grunting]
Ah, how do people get up these things?
[meowing]
Sorry, Charlie.
I got to do this.
[grunting]
- Huh? - [Charlie grunting]
That's the spirit.
Almost...
[meowing]
Phew! Thanks for the booty boost.
[meowing]
[panting]
Yo, yo, yo!
I'm about to do the most totally awesome...
Most insane skateboard trick ever!

[Ellen] Hello!
Hello!
♪ Shake your bushy tail ♪
- What's the point, Charlie? - [meowing]
Becky and Freckle won't even see me do the trick.
And this isn't how I'd show them I'm fun anyway.
I don't skate and I don't say, "Yo."
What was I thinking?
I'm coming down.
Whoa! Ahhh!
Ow!
♪ Brown Squirrel... ♪
- [Ellen] Ow! - [both gasp]
Did you hear that sound, or was it in my head?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I heard it too.
Hey, where did Ellen go?
Ellen!
Ugh!
Ow.
- What happened? - What do you need?
I have sunnies, tape dispenser, freshly ground pepper... [sneezes]
I'm okay. I don't need anything.
You can go back to Helen now.
Back to Helen?
You've been having so much fun with her,
I didn't think you wanted to play with me.
Of course we wanna play with you.
We thought you were having fun with Helen, too.
Yeah, you were jumping together and singing together.
Oh!
You did leave at some point, didn't you?
We were being nice to Helen so she wouldn't feel nervous, just like you said.
Which was so Ellen of you.
Wanting to make sure Helen had a good weekend.
I mean, I have never heard anything so Ellen.
Plus, the two of us always have the most fun with you.
Thanks.
I have the most fun with you two, too.
Two, too.
I love two toos.
I'm wearing one under my overalls right now.
- [meowing] - [all] Laughing.
Ellen, you okay?
I am now.
Good. That must have been a wicked fall.
Yeah, I don't know how you ride that thing,
but I do know I shouldn't have tried so hard to show you all how much fun I am.
I was doing that, too.
I mean, I so wanted to be your friend
that I was trying to be super fun
with skating and double Dutch and the squirrel song.
Now, I kind of just wish I hadn't tried so hard, too.
Wow! We both tried so hard and we could have just been ourselves,
because I'm pretty sure ourselves would be really great friends.
Totally. I do, too.
Yay, friends!
You love to see it.
So, what do we do now?
Tape face?
[grunts]
Another verse of "Brown Squirrel"?
- Double Dutch? - How about...
- four square? - Sweet!
- Nice one. - [Helen] This is amazing.
You know what would be even more amazinger?
