[doors opening]
[narrator] Circle and Triangle have arrived at Square's house
for a very special night.
Triangle is hoping that nobody notices he forgot his toothbrush.
You forgot your toothbrush.
Uh, oops. You think he'll notice?
Well, the invitation makes it pretty clear he wanted us to bring our own.
Hello, friends, and welcome to the best sleepover party of your lives.
[narrator] "Square's Sleepover."
Oh, I see you forgot your toothbrush.
I, uh-- I, uh, thought I'd, um--
-I would-- -Fear not.
[Square] Hmm?
[narrator] Oh, that's nice.
I've spent months meticulously planning every second of tonight's festivities
so we can achieve the maximum amount of fun possible.
All you two have to do is sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
Now, come on in and make yourself at home.
Mi casa es su casa.
Wow, awesome! Thanks, Square.
No, no. This way! Follow me!
[narrator] Square had put a lot of thought into the sleepover layout.
Please, sit.
Aw, how thoughtful. Toothbrush holders.
[narrator] Wow, Square. You've really outdone yourself.
Now that you're all settled in,
let's go ahead and dive into activity number one. [giggles]
A 200-piece puzzle!
Ah, okay, sure.
Hey, before we start, can I have a glass of water?
There's a bottle under your pillow
and a granola bar in case you're feeling peckish.
Now, let's get to it!
[both chuckle]
And… finished.
Perfect. Right on schedule. Exactly as I planned it.
Now, on to activity number two.
Another puzzle!
-[Circle groans] -Another puzzle?
Another puzzle!
This one has a thousand pieces.
[narrator] That's a lot of pieces.
Okay, but-- [clears throat]
Hey, maybe we could take a little puzzle break
and do something, uh, else.
[laughs] Very funny, Triangle. Always with the jokes.
I wasn't really--
Strategically, I think we play it safe and stick to our roles from the last puzzle.
Triangle, you take the corners.
Circle, you start grouping the pieces by color.
I'll take the edges. I've got a real eye for edges.
[eerie music plays]
[chuckles]
-[chuckles] -Uh…
[chuckles] Don't think too hard about where to start, you two.
Just dive in and get those juices a-flowing.
[both groan]
And finished.
[narrator] Finally.
Nice! Ooh, 30 seconds ahead of schedule.
Looks like I have a couple of puzzle experts on my hands. [chuckles]
-[Triangle groans] -[chuckles]
Well, hold on to your hats,
because we're gonna need those extra 30 seconds for our next event.
Are you ready?
-Definitely. -Please.
Now, I know the last two were a little tame,
but I wanted to start the night at a slow boil and really ramp things up.
So, brace yourself for activity number three.
A 2,000-piece puzzle!
2,000?
This one's gonna be tricky
on account of the completely uniform image,
but I've found that the most satisfying puzzles are
the ones where you really get a chance to focus on the pieces.
Shall we?
Hey, uh, you know what else is fun to do on sleepovers?
Telling ghost stories.
Is your ghost story 30 seconds long?
Uh, I don't know. I guess I never really timed it out.
I mean, it's-- it's not long.
I could definitely tell it quickly though.
I mean, trust me, you'll love it.
-Especially when-- -[imitates buzzer]
Oh, I'm gonna have to stop you right there, friend.
Your 30 seconds is up. And that takes care of that.
Hmm? [sighs]
Actually, now we're a little behind. Onward to the next puzzle!
Aw, come on, you didn't even give me a chance.
Well, when we have a sleepover at your house,
I'll be happy to hear some ghost stories, right, Circle?
Well, I'd actually like to hear the ghost story.
[gasps]
Oh, okay. Uh, sure.
Well, uh, I guess if I get creative,
I can just, uh, push a few of, uh, the official events around
and, uh, squeeze that in.
"Unscheduled ghost story."
And there. Now it's on the schedule.
Okay, Triangle, you may begin your ghost story now.
And the only thing anyone ever found from that night
was a coaster that looked just like this!
[narrator] Now, that's some good narration.
[chuckling] Ooh, spooky.
Good one, Triangle.
Okay, great. That went a little long, but I think I can get us back on track
if we just go double time on the puzzle.
Tough, but doable.
-Wait, wait, wait, I have one. -One what?
A ghost story.
Uh, okay, what is happening right now?
So, what, y-you both want to just skip the final puzzle?
Right. Sure, no problem. [chuckles]
[inhales deeply] Hmm.
Okay. This one's about a group--
[Square scoffs]
Okay, let me just get this out of the way.
Wouldn't want an extremely challenging but ultimately rewarding puzzle
to distract you two from telling your story.
All clear. Continue.
Okay.
This one's about a group of friends who were having a late-night sleepover.
And they say that if you stay up late enough,
you can still hear him tap-tap-tapping on the window.
Wait! [gasps] What was that?
-[gasps] -Did you really hear something?
Don't play with me, Circle.
All right, good story.
Now, we really have to pick up for lost time.
I'll go get the lemon bars and set up activity number four.
-Turn the lights on. -Wait!
First you gotta check the window, Square. I really think I heard him.
Oh, stop it. It was just a story.
Was it?
[gasps]
[sighs]
Nope. Nothing.
Okay, on to the lemon bar--
-[screams] -[Circle, Triangle laughing]
Triangle!
[laughing continues]
-Hey, Circle, did you-- -Come on, Square.
You gotta admit Triangle got you with that one.
[sputters, laughs]
Yeah. [chuckles] You got me all right.
[laughs] I was just kidding around. Sorry.
We were having fun.
Now we can get back to your regularly scheduled activities.
[chuckles] Right, of course. Good one, Triangle.
[sighs] Anyway, to get back to the schedule…
Because of the ghost stories,
we're gonna have to double up on some activities
to get everything in.
But, you two are still in for a great time!
Hmm.
[Triangle grunts]
[laughs] Oh!
-[Circle, Triangle chuckle] -[Square groans]
[vocalizing]
[amplified squeaking, grinding]
[both laughing]
[Square grunts]
[grunting]
[both laughing, sighing]
-[Triangle] Oh! -[Circle chuckles]
[Triangle] Hmm.
-[laughing] -[Square grunts]
[Square grunts] Okay, perfect.
[muttering] Carry the one… And that looks like…
That's great. I can see it exactly.
[muttering] Okay. Okay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-[blows raspberry, chuckles] -[laughs]
[laughing continues]
Okay, now we don't have time for that. Or for that. Or-- [sighs]
You know what? Let's skip to the basket weaving.
Hey, what if we made a pillow fort? Then we could sleep in there all night.
Yeah, that sounds cool.
No, Circle, we don't have time for a pillow fort.
We've already had to lose too many planned activities,
and there's no way we're missing out on
making small decorative baskets before bedtime!
Aw, come on. Stop worrying about it.
We can just do the things we missed next time.
Next time? I've been planning this for months, if you didn't hear me earlier.
I'm getting the box of natural fibers. You two stay put!
-[sighs] -Okay.
[grunts, laughs]
-[gasps, grunts] -[grunts, laughs]
-[Circle laughs] -[chuckles]
[both laughing, sighing]
[screams]
Square, what are you so upset about?
This was my sleepover party.
It's my house.
I've planned for so long, so carefully. [screams]
And then you two-- you two show up,
and all you wanna do is what you wanna do.
We're your guests.
I know you're my guests!
That's why I scheduled all this fun stuff for you!
But we wanna do other stuff. It's not all about you, Square.
[Square inhales deeply]
Square. [stammers]
[sighs]
[Square sighs]
I just wanted us all to have the best sleepover ever,
but I guess my idea of fun is different from theirs.
Hmm.
I feel kind of bad.
Yeah.
But I really don't wanna do that puzzle.
[chuckles] Yeah.
[Square clears throat]
Oh, Square.
I-- Um. We were-- We were just-- [stammers]
[grunts]
[grunts] Huh?
Unscheduled pillow fight!
[narrator] And so,
Square's sleepover turned out even better than he had planned.
[all chattering, grunting, laughing]
[Triangle] Good thread count, buddy.
[narrator] Good night, shapes.
[birds singing]
[yawns] Hmm.
[narrator] After a long night of dreaming about her flowers and vegetables,
Circle spends the morning tending to them.
Mm-hmm. You're definitely thirsty.
Hmm.
Mmm, don't worry, I didn't forget about you. [chuckles]
And I don't know this for sure, but…
You want some of this too?
[narrator] The tomatoes very much wanted some of that.
[humming, chuckles]
Of course you get some.
[narrator] When Triangle hears a conversation he's not a part of,
he does his best to make himself a part of it.
Uh, watering tomatoes?
I am.
Very nice.
Wanna see me juggle?
You can juggle?
Yeah, sure. Can I have some tomatoes?
Hmm. Yes.
[inhales deeply]
[grunting]
Huh.
That was pretty good.
Hmm?
Yep.
[Circle chuckles]
Hi, Circle.
Hi back.
-[Circle humming] -[Square whimpers]
-Huh? -[whimpers]
Are you okay?
Oh, yes. Sorry. I'm fine. [chuckles]
[breathes heavily] Okay. [sucks teeth]
Will you teach me to grow a vegetable garden?
-[squeals] -Hmm?
You wanna try gardening?
Your garden is so full of life. The tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber.
I know mine won't look as nice and I'll mess some stuff up,
but I've been thinking about this and I really wanna--
I'd love to be your teacher.
-Really? -[chuckling] Of course.
Now, remember, I've been doing this for years.
It can take some time before you get it right.
Yes, yes, yes. Completely understand. Yeah. [chuckles]
I have to pick up supplies. I-- I don't know what I'm gonna grow.
[Circle chuckles]
I think this will be quite the experience for both of us.
[narrator] "Growing Pains."
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
[narrator] Square believed that just because a garden is made in the dirt
doesn't mean that it can't be orderly.
Whoa. Looks like you had a busy morning.
Oh, gosh, did I get too much stuff? I should've checked beforehand.
[chuckles] It's good. We'll need all of this.
Okay. [chuckles] Good.
Teach me.
Well, if we wanna grow a garden, we need something to grow it in.
Let's pour some soil.
"Pour some soil."
How much?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe about half a bag?
"Half a bag."
[Square] Mm-hmm.
And… done.
I think. Maybe I should measure it again.
No. [chuckles] You're good.
Gardening is more of an art than a science.
Right. What's next, Teach? [chuckles]
Mmm. Mmm.
[squeals]
Starting a garden is a lot of work.
I told you it wouldn't be easy. But you did good.
I wonder how it's gonna turn out. Oh, will I get a lot of cucumbers?
[chuckling] Remember, this is your first try.
Don't get your hopes up too high.
That makes sense. [chuckles]
-[gasps] Is that a sprout? -[Circle laughs]
It's gonna take more than a few hours before we see anything.
Don't forget, water and sunlight, okay?
Check your notes, and I'll check back in a few days.
Mm-hmm.
[narrator] Circle waited a few days before checking in on her eager student.
Hi, you. This is your first checkup.
Oh, no. I-Is this a test? Am I being graded?
[chuckles] No. I just wanted to see if you had anything yet.
Wow. Well, you're further along than I thought.
Well, that's wonderful. I was a little worried.
I didn't wanna bug you, so I was reading up on some techniques.
[Circle chuckles]
Well, I'm sure that I know those techniques.
[chuckling] Oh, I'm sure you do.
Um, I think your watermelons need a little extra water.
You know, they don't have that name for no reason.
Really? Is that why they're called that?
No, I was just-- was just joking.
Oh. [chuckles]
And they must call them "carrots" because you have to "care" for "it."
[chuckles]
[Square] Hmm.
Hello, Square.
Oh, hi, Circle. I think my garden's coming along pretty well.
Look at how green my melon vines are.
[gasps]
[narrator] They were certainly very green.
Greener than the ones in Circle's garden? Who's to say?
I'm to say. They were definitely greener.
Circle noticed this too.
Yeah, they're-- they're-- they're really green.
You're setting up umbrellas?
It's been kinda hot these last couple of days.
Too much sun can cause damage, but why am I telling you?
I'm sure you're already set up.
Oh! Of course.
I was actually just, you know, coming over to check to see if you'd done that.
You passed.
But, uh, I actually have to go check out some magic stuff.
Keep up the good work.
Okay, uh, bye. [whimpers]
[Square] Hmm.
[strains, grunts]
Ooh, Square's garden is good,
but it's probably because I've been helping him so much.
And once I give my garden a little care,
I'm sure I'll have the best veggies on the island.
Definitely better than Square's.
Hmm.
But that's not important, obviously.
[narrator] Circle worked on her garden harder than she ever worked before.
What's this?
Oh, this is probably the best carrot I've ever grown.
I have to show Square.
To inspire him.
Yes, that is why. Inspiration.
Hi, Square. I just wanted to stop by to show you my--
-[Circle gasps] -[grunts]
[gasps]
Circle, hi! I'm finally harvesting my veggies.
What do you think of my garden?
[stammers] It… [sighs] It-- It's-- It's good.
-It's even better than yours. -[yelps, sighs]
Oh… [laughs] …I don't know about that.
Mm-hmm. These are definitely juicier.
[grunting]
Much juicier!
[sighs]
Looks like the island has a new master gardener, huh?
That's a bit much. I don't know.
It's good. I, um--
I-It's good.
You grew a good garden.
But I-- I should probably head back to mine.
[sighs]
[Square] Hmm.
[Circle] Hmm.
I guess his garden is pretty good for a first try.
Oh, you're choosing his garden too?
I mean, i-it's a good garden. All right?
Yeah, I'll admit it. He did good, okay?
But sometimes you just get lucky on your first go,
but it doesn't mean he's better than me.
He's my friend. I'm happy his garden is so nice.
It's so nice.
What kind of a friend would I be if I didn't want him to succeed?
[sighs]
[sighs, groans]
Be better!
[sighs] You know what? Maybe--
Maybe we do have a new master gardener on the island.
Why should I even try? [sighs]
Hey, whatcha doing?
Giving up, maybe?
-[scoffs] I don't know. -Oh.
So, can I have the tomatoes? For my juggling practice?
[chuckles] Have at 'em.
[Triangle inhales deeply]
[grunting]
Yeah.
-Have you ever caught anything juggling? -No. Nope.
How long have you been doing it for?
Uh, a couple years now.
A couple of years? But you can't catch anything.
Not even one. Watch.
Hey, you're pretty good.
But I really don't care how good I am at it.
Mm-hmm.
[grunting]
So, why do you do it?
I do it 'cause I like it. It's fun.
[chuckles]
[narrator] Well, look at that.
Even Triangle was known to stumble backwards into wisdom from time to time.
You know, now that I think about it, there's a lesson there, Circle.
What?
You should quit gardening and take up juggling!
It's way more fun because the tomatoes make a funny splatting noise
when they hit the ground.
[narrator] Yeah, that was not the wisdom I was talking about.
Well, see you later.
[Circle] Hmm.
Hmm.
Hey, Square.
Oh, hi, Circle. Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's okay now.
So, my cucumbers didn't come out great this year.
I'm sorry to hear that.
But my lettuce actually looks really good.
Whoa, they sure do.
Hey, you know, if you have any extra veggies,
maybe we could combine our efforts, have some fresh salad tonight.
[Square gasps]
Yes, of course. That sounds delightful.
I'm actually wondering if my gates were strong enough.
It seems there was some nibbling.
Ooh. Well, you know, I have a trick for that.
[Square] Ooh. [chuckles]
