[Little Boo] "The Natural."
[Little Boo beatboxing]
So, what do you guys think of my new victory dance?
We can bust it out to celebrate a successful mission.
[both laugh]
[Mama Chipmunk] Help!
Sure, Sweetie. First, lock your body
while you pop your shoulder.
No, Boo. That wasn't me.
That chipmunk needs our help!
Somebody help my baby!
He's floating away, and he's really scared!
Wheee!
Let's go!
Wheee!
Oof!
I'm coming, little buddy!
Nothing can stop me from saving you!
[baby giggling]
-[Sweetie gasps] -[baby] Wheee!
The Chicken Squad is on the job-- Ah!
Wheee! [giggles]
[Little Boo making siren noises]
Little Boo, coming through!
[grunts] Gotcha!
[giggles] Gotcha!
I believe this little fella belongs to you.
You are officially my hero.
And you officially have great taste in heroes.
From now on, you're staying right here where I can see you.
-Great work, Boo. -You saved the day.
I believe this calls for a victory dance.
[beatboxing]
[Captain Tully clears throat]
[Little Boo] Hey, Captain Tully!
Have you seen my victory dance?
Yes, and it's, uh, something, all right.
But I need to talk to the three of you.
You almost let that chipmunk float away.
I know. I tried to run after him but I tripped.
And I had trouble climbing.
And then I lost my balance on that planter.
And I had none of those problems when I swooped in and saved the day!
Thank goodness you were there!
Squad!
Running, climbing, and balancing are important parts of your training.
As community helpers, you need to improve those skills.
My skills obviously don't need improvement,
but I'd be happy to give you two some pointers.
You could all use some training.
Go change into your workout clothes and be prepared for some hard work!
Squad, we have our charge for today!
Improve our running, climbing, and balancing skills.

[Captain Tully] Okay, Squad. I've set up a special practice course for you.
-[Coop gasps] -Let me show you how this works.
First you zigzag through these cones.
This will teach you to weave quickly through obstacles
which you may come across while racing to help somebody in need.
Like when I saved the baby chipmunk.
Then scramble up this wall to work on your climbing.
You never know when you'll need to climb up high
to reach someone who's in danger.
Like when I saved that baby chipmunk.
And finally, run across this beam.
This improves balance,
in case you need to rescue someone on a tree branch or atop a narrow fence.
What?
Pay attention to Captain Tully!
You're really good at this!
You will be too, as long as you practice.
And while you practice, Captain Tully and I
will be right here to offer helpful advice.
All of you should practice hard,
because at the end of the day I'm going to give you a test.
Copy that, Captain Tully!
Practice time starts now!
[grunts and shouts]
Huh. I did not see that coming.
Here's a tip.
Pick up you knees when you run.
It'll make you faster and keep you from tripping.
That's exactly what I was gonna say.
[grunting]
[shouts]
You'll be more stable if you use your legs too!
My legs. Oh, yeah. I forgot about those!
Don't worry, sis, I'll remind you.
-I'm here for ya! -Thanks, Boo.
[grunting]
Oof!
[groans]
Try spreading out your wings, Coop.
That really helps with balance.
And, don't fall. That also helps.
Uh, when are you gonna start practicing, Little Boo?
You really think I need to practice? Pfft, me? The hero of the day?
Yes, even heroes need to practice.
Okay,
feel free to come find me if you need any help before the test.
Boo,
if you wanna practice on the wall I can make room for you.
You know, I thought about it a lot and decided I don't need to practice.
You sure, Boo? Because the more I practice lifting my knees,
the better I get at this.
[slurping]
Yeah, I'm sure.
Sure that I don't need to practice,
-[music starts] -Because I totally got this.

I got this.
[beatboxing] Mic drop.
[panting]
Time to test how well you've learned the skills you've been working on.
Finally!
Let's get to it.
Actually, Boo. One of the first rules of being a good helper
is to prepare for the unexpected.
Follow me.
This is your test.
These obstacles are similar to the ones a squad member might face
while helping people in the real world.
First you'll run through the bushes.
[Coop] Just like the cones we practiced on!
That hill kinda looks like the climbing wall.
[Coop] I'm guessing we have to balance on that log?
You got it.
Okay, everyone ready?
Oh, yeah, born ready.
Then show me what you got.
[blows whistle]
Knees up! Knees up!
[beatboxing]
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Hey, no fair! That last branch came out of nowhere.
[grunting] Whoa!
Remember! Arms and legs!
Thanks, Sweetie!
-Yippee! -Yeah!
[grunting]
Ugh. Why is this so hard?
Wings out. Just like I taught them.
We did it! We finished the course!
Hurray! I can't believe it!
Wait, where's Boo?
Whoa...
Wings out, Boo!
Whoa, Waa!
Are you okay?
[spitting] I'm totally--
[spits] Fine.
Falling, falling into the mud
was part of a special, um, training method.
To find critters, who could be lost in the mud.
Yeah, that.
Excellent work, Coop and Sweetie.
You practiced hard and completed the course.
And because of that,
you've earned gold medals for Action Skills.
Wow, real gold medals.
This is the best day of my life.
So, do I bow or kneel? Or--
Boo, you didn't complete any of the course,
so I can't give you a medal.
At least not today.
But remember, everyone can get better with practice.
That's okay. I didn't want a medal anyway.
[Captain Tully grunting outside]
Why is Captain Tully practicing the obstacle course?
She's already great at it. What's that, Chiki?
Mhm, mhm.
Chiki, you're right!
Everyone can get better with practice!
Even an expert like Captain Tully.
[chattering]
-Boo? -Good morning, Captain Tully.
I was wondering could you help me practice the course?
A little farther!
Way to go, Boo!
-Is he... -Practicing?
He's been out here all morning.
Captain Tully,
[panting] I think I'm ready.
Let's go find out.
[blows whistle]
Go, Boo! You can do it!
Knees up.
[grunting]
Whoa, look at him go!
Arms and legs, yes!
-Go Boo! -Wahoo!
Waa! Whoa!
Oh no, wings out, Boo!
Wings out!
[shouts]
You did it! You finished the course!
I am so proud of you.
Boo, I'm really impressed.
I practiced! Just like you said!
Yes, you did, and it showed.
You have earned your very own gold medal for Action Skills.
That's a big step forward in your Squad training.
Wow, thanks, Captain Tully. This is amazing.
-Congratulations, Boo. -Thanks.
You know what this calls for?
A victory dance?
If you insist.
-[beatboxing] -[cheering]
[Sweetie] "A Dirty Job."
[Dinah singing]
[clucks and squawks]
I'll save you!
-Mom! -Dinah!
What is it?
It's my petunias, they're gone!
Oh, Mom, that was your favorite flower!
Maybe they just got bored and walked away for a few minutes.
But petunias can't walk.
Well, something happened to 'em.
Sounds like you've got your charge for the day, Squad.
We've gotta find out what happened to Mom's petunias.

[Captain Tully] Okay, Chicken Squad.
Let's start by collecting evidence.
What evidence? All I see is dirt.
Maybe we should look more carefully.
It's dirt.
I don't see any footprints.
[sniffing] I'm not picking up a scent.
And I still see plain old dirt.
[gasps]
This might be a clue!
Looks like paper.
Maybe we could solve the case if we figure out what it is.
[Dr. Dirt] You can!
[gasps] Talking dirt!
That's Dr. Dirt to you.
Nice to meet you, Dr. Dirt.
We're the Chicken Squad! And, um excuse us,
but you're kinda in the middle of our work space.
Well you are in the middle of my dirt space!
Besides, it sounds like you're not finding many clues.
Except you, strong chicklet.
You found a clue!
-You mean this? -Nice work, Sweetie!
Fortunately for you, dirt is not just my name,
but also my game.
I am a scientist.
I study all of nature! But my specialty is dirt.
I can tell you everything you need to know about this clue.
With the help of a little science.
-Science? -Yes, science.
Where a curious mind can learn things from experiments and observation.
[Captain Tully] When I was on the K-9 Team,
one of the ways scientists helped us solve cases
was by looking at things under a microscope.
Captain Woof-Woof is correct.
So Dr. Dirt could use science to help us solve this case?
Dr. Dirt?
[Dr. Dirt] You'd better keep up if you want my help, chicklets!
And don't forget to bring the clues!
This way!
How did Dr. Dirt get there so fast?
Follow that snail!
[chicks grunting]
-[all] Wow! -Cool.
What is all this?
My science lab! Impressive, no?
-Very! -Whoa, did you build that?
Indeed, chicklet with glasses. It's a microscope.
It helps you see things super, super, super, super,
super close.
I'll show you. Put your clue here.
Take a look, strong chicklet!
I'm not sure I see anything.
Look closer.
[Sweetie] That's strange.
Up close, it doesn't really look like paper.
It's rough and bumpy. It looks more like tree bark!
Excellent observation!
It appears someone is a natural scientist.
Ooh! Is it me?
No.
Aha! The strong chicklet has discovered that this isn't paper at all,
but bark!
From a birch tree!
Whoa, that's amazing, Sweetie!
But there's no birch tree in Mom's flower garden.
So whoever took the flowers must've been at a birch tree
before they dug up Mom's petunias!
Wow, all that from a piece of bark.
Mhm.
Science is so cool!
I wonder what else this clue can tell us.
[gasps]
I'm sorry, Dr. Dirt! [gulps]
Should I leave?
Leave? Yes.
We must all leave, to investigate the birch tree!
Excellent thinking. Come, chicklets.
-Science awaits. -[gasps]
Our piece of bark looks just like this tree.
It must have come from right here on this birch tree.
And look over here! More flowers are missing.
Maybe this dirt can tell us something too!
If we use science.
Ah, you are one smart chicklet.
Gee, thanks!
Would you say I'm incredibly smart, or outstandingly smart?
[Coop] What's this green string doing here?
Ooh! Dr. Dirt, can we take it to the lab so we can look closer?
No need, I came prepared.
[rummaging noises]
How'd you do that?
Whoa, it's like a tiny magnifying glass!
Up close, this looks like a string from some cloth, or a towel.
Like that one?
Race you there, Dr. Dirt!
Last one to the clothesline is a rotten...
Dr. Dirt?
Come along, slow chicklet.
Slow chicklet?
You forgot this! Oof! Oops.
Hi Maggie! Sorry.
Oh dear! Hello Sweetie! Sorry I bumped into you,
I'm in a big hurry.
I have to get back to building my nest before I lay my eggs. Ta-ta!
Bye, Maggie!
It's a perfect match!
That means whoever took the flowers from the birch tree was also here!
And look! More missing flowers!
-[gasps] -[gasps] Foot prints!
That means a critter was here.
Maybe the same critter who's been taking the flowers!
Excellent work, chicklet.
If we can identify the footprints, we might've found our culprit.
Wow, great job, Sweetie!
This case is practically solved.
Let's look closer at those footprints!
Ow!
The footprints! Our clue's washing away!
I'll save them! Ahh!
Oh no, they're ruined!
Dr. Dirt, we have to get the footprints back!
Can we dry it out, or, or, de-mudify it, or something?
The clue is ruined.
There's nothing more to examine here.
But come and get me if you find a new clue.
Race you back to the lab!
Hey, where'd you go?
Ciao! Buh-bye!
How do you do that?
Aw, feathers.
Looks like that's the end of our investigation
I'm sorry, those tracks would've solved the mystery.
But I ruined them.
Thanks to me, we won't be able to find Mom's flowers after all.
Oh dear, you're lifting weights.
You must be upset.
I lift weights when I'm happy, too.
But you do it with a smile.
What's wrong, Sweetie?
We were trying to find your missing petunias,
and I met a cool scientist
who was teaching me how to use science to solve cases,
but then I messed up and ruined the clues.
And we didn't get your petunias back.
It's okay, honey. I can grow more petunias.
I know, but now I don't think I'll get to learn any more science.
And I really loved it.
[sighs]
Maybe I should just give up on it.
[clucks] Nonsense!
If you want to learn about science,
you can't let small problems stand in your way.
It's just like my garden,
the weeds always try to take over my petunias,
but I pull them out every day, so I can grow my flowers.
I don't let small problems stop me from doing the things I love.
Like gardening!
Thanks, Mom.
Huh, this isn't my feather.
It must have been on the ground when I fell on the animal footprints.
It might be a clue.
Sorry, Mom! I gotta see Dr. Dirt!
Doctor who?
No! Doctor Dirt!
Dr. Dirt! It's me, Sweetie!
I mean, strong chicklet!
Ah, come in!
Dr. Dirt, I'm sorry I messed things up before.
But I found a new clue.
This feather came from where I fell on the footprints.
I was thinking if we look closer at this feather,
it might tell us who left the footprints.
Spoken like a true scientist!
Hmm, this is no chicken feather.
It belongs to a bird...
Uh... This bird!
[gasps] I know this bird!
Thank you for coming.
We have a new idea about who took all the flowers.
-Shall we, Dr. Dirt? -After you.
First, we knew that someone took Mom's petunias,
leaving only one clue, which looked like paper.
-That lead us to-- -[Dr. Dirt] The birch tree,
here the bark came from, and more flowers were missing!
And there was a green string from--
Here, and also foot prints.
Which I accidentally turned into mud.
But why? What could someone want with all these flowers,
birch bark, and green string?
That's when I noticed this feather stuck to me
after I fell on the foot prints.
So we looked closer...
And discovered that the feather came from.
Maggie the Magpie?
I'm sorry! I didn't know those were someone else's flowers.
And there's the birch bark!
And the green string!
I just wanted lots of pretty things to decorate my nest!
We understand.
But these petunias belong to our mom.
Maybe we can find different flowers for you?
[squawks] Okay!
Not bad, chicklet!
You figured this all out on your own?
With a little help from Dr. Dirt.
And science!
[clucks] My petunias look amazing!
Thanks for helping me weed the garden, Maggie!
My pleasure! And I can use these for my nest!
I was very impressed with you today.
You were observant and curious, and you didn't give up!
You think like a real scientist.
Thanks. I almost gave up,
but my mom told me not to let small problems stand in my way.
Well then, you must come with me.
There's something in my lab that needs fixing.
Is it the microscope I broke?
Come along!
Whoa.
[Dr. Dirt] My old lab was built for one tiny snail.
But I need one big enough for me and one strong chicklet.
What do you say?
Want to be my lab partner?
[gasps] I'd love to!
Well then you'd better learn to keep up!
