Hey!
Whoa...
(crash)
"D.W. and the Beastly Birthday."
(kids cheering)
Happy birthday, D.W.!
(noisemaker honking)
(cheering)
(inhales deeply)
(blows)
(inhales)
(blows)
(inhales)
(blows)
Hey, this isn't one of those funny candles
that won't blow out, is it?
I hate those!
You just need to blow harder.
Like this.
(inhales deeply)
(blows raspberry)
D.W.: So far, this birthday has been a complete bust.
It started with the weather.
On a girl's fifth birthday,
it should be super sunny with big puffy clouds.
♪ D.W.! ♪
D.W.: But it seems Mr. Sun didn't get the message.
(thunder rumbling)
And he wasn't the only one not getting messages.
For weeks, I've been dropping hints
about this toy I really wanted.
Look!
It's Fluff McGuffin the Magic Puffin!
You know he talks and helps teach kids the alphabet?
Hm.
Look!
There he is again!
And again!
D.W., you're blocking the TV.
Boy, that puffin sure is cute.
And educational.
D.W.: What was I supposed to do?
Shout at the top of my lungs,
"Buy me that puffin for my birthday"?
Then it wouldn't be a surprise.
Um...
Is that it?
(balloon squeaking)
I mean, wow!
What great presents!
(ribbits)
D.W.: And then there's been this party.
James and Amanda couldn't come because they were sick,
and Emily just had to wear a prettier dress.
Oh, Emily!
Don't you look adorable!
Is that a new dress?
Yes, Mrs. Read.
Marie-Helene bought it for me in Paris.
Well, I have a tiara.
It'll match mine.
Almost.
Mine's bigger.
(quacking)
D.W.: So far, Bud has won every single game,
like he usually does.
(quacking)
I win again!
Oh, come on.
Can't you lose just once?
It's my birthday.
I can't help it.
I was just born lucky.
(quacking)
D.W.: And the Tibbles?
Well, they've just been the Tibbles.
(piñata squeaking)
But I was sort of hoping they'd be a little less Tibble-ish.
(piñata squeaking)
It's down, it's down!
You can stop hitting!
(laughing)
(gasps)
(neighing)
D.W.: And the cake was supposed to be chocolate with vanilla icing,
but Dad thought I said vanilla with chocolate icing.
I'm not hungry.
D.W.: Things should be perfect on your birthday!
Well, so far, it has been the opposite of that.
(sighs)
What are we going to play next?
Hide and seek!
TIMMY: Hide and seek?
Aw, that's a baby game.
It is not a baby game!
And if it was a baby game, we're still playing it.
You know why?
Because it's my birthday,
and everyone has to do what I say.
Are we clear?
Can I be "it"?
I'm a really good finder.
Sure, you can be "it."
But you're not finding me.
16, 17, 18...
Uh, what comes after 18?
EMILY: 19!
Thanks.
19, 20.
Ready or not, here I come!
So that's been my fifth birthday so far.
One gigantic flop.
Aw, I'm so sorry.
What about Arthur?
Where is he?
Don't even get me started on him.
ARTHUR: And the best part about this trip to the planetarium
is that I get to miss the party.
LADONNA: What party?
Is there a party?
Can I come?
Trust me, you wouldn't want to go to this one.
Why not?
A party is a party.
This is D.W.'s fifth birthday party.
You're missing your little sister's birthday?
I could never do that.
Compsons don't miss birthdays.
That's the motto on our family crest.
You have a family crest?
Well, no, but if we did have one,
that's what it would be.
In Latin.
You don't understand.
D.W.'s parties are a complete nightmare for me.
It's the one day where I have to do everything she says.
Like last year, she made me get on my hands and knees
and be a pony.
Faster, unicorny, faster!
(laughing)
Okay, stop by the castle.
Ugh!
What a terrible parking job.
Okay, Emily, it's your turn to ride him.
(spits out bit)
No way!
I'm done!
Mom!
Arthur's being mean to me on my birthday.
What?!
Arthur...
No, I'm not!
My back just hurts!
Honey, it's one day.
(sighs)
This is so unfair.
Here.
If you give him a little tap on the tuckus, he goes faster.
(laughing)
Yikes.
That does sound bad.
Still, you're going to do something for her, right?
Of course.
I got her this card.
D.W. doesn't stand for "David Winifred," does it?
Huh?
No, it's "Dora."
Why?
Because this says,
"To the world's best little brother."
(groans)
I could've sworn that was a little girl.
They all look like mutants to me.
Didn't you even open it up?
I was in a rush.
Well, I hope you at least got her a good present.
Um...
Don't tell me you forgot.
It's okay.
I'll just pick up some chocolate on the way home.
Okay, class, everyone come in and take your seats.
D.W. loves chocolate.
It's her favorite thing in the world.
(sighs)
You wouldn't last too long in the Compson family.
What kind of animal is that supposed to be anyway?
Um, maybe an aardvark?
What time is it?
(ticking)
A hair past three freckles.
Why hasn't anybody found me yet?
Do you think they've all stopped looking?
No, you're just the world's best hider, that's all.
You could open the present I got you while you wait.
You got me a present?
Of course.
What are imaginary friends for?
And it's very, very special.
What is it?
A ticket to a beautiful and mysterious island:
Ukubonga.
I've never been there, but I hear it's wonderful.
I won it from Rumpelstiltskin in Crazy Eights.
Wow, thanks!
How do I get there?
You just scratch off that grey patch
and say the magic spell.
Great!
Hey, do you have a coin?
Let's go!
It's only a ticket for one.
I can't go with you.
And, well, I should warn you:
the island gives you whatever you want.
So? What's wrong with that?
I love getting what I want.
Well, sometimes what you want turns out to be not so great.
Please!
It can't be any worse than today.
All right, in just a minute,
you'll all be taking a trip through the cosmos.
Mr. Ratburn!
Yes, Buster?
If we have to go to the bathroom,
how do we stop the rocket?
There is no rocket, Buster.
You're going on a visual and auditory tour.
It's a like a movie, but more immersive.
Do we get popcorn?
Nope.
Now just lean back, look up at the stars,
and the show will begin shortly.
(cell phone ringing)
Hello?
Oh, hello, Francis!
Just one minute.
How is Tanzania?
Really?
Oh, that's just wonderful.
Well, we're at the Planetarium.
It's Science Saturday...
I really should have gotten D.W. a present.
I was going to do it yesterday, but I just forgot.
If we go back in time, I'll remind you.
Thanks.
(yawns)
You know, in a way, time travel is possible.
How?
Well, if you travel close to the speed of light,
then time would slow down.
What was just an hour for you
might have been years and years on Earth.
See? I told you you could change history.
Let's go back and invent donuts.
We'll be millionaires!
I didn't say anything like that.
(music begins) I said...
Shh! It's starting!
ANNOUNCER: The universe.
It is all that we know.
And yet, so much of it is unknown.
Imagine you are traveling through our solar system,
past Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, and Neptune.
Now you are leaving the solar system
and entering our vast galaxy, the Milky Way,
containing over 200 billion stars.
D.W.: Okay, there's the spell.
Now all you have to do is recite it
and your adventure will begin.
But I can't read.
Hold the ticket up to your forehead
and close your eyes.
The words will come to you.
Hear what you want to hear.
See what you want to see.
Take me to the land where imagination runs free.
ANNOUNCER: We are approaching Sagittarius A,
the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.
If we could travel inside it,
where would it take us?
(gasps)
Huh?
Where am I?
A beach?
Big deal!
I've been to the beach before.
Ooh, a sailboat!
Now, that looks like fun.
(bird squawking)
(gasps)
Woo-hoo!
(laughing)
Woo-hoo!
(laughing)
Now we're cooking with gas!
Yeah!
Whoo!
Woo-hoo!
Whoa!
Roller coaster!
(laughs)
That was great!
Whoa!
What's happening?!
(screaming)
Ah! A giant octopodi!
(gasps)
(screaming)
I had a nightmare about this once!
Put me down!
It's my birthday.
I command you.
Wow, that wasn't so hard.
Actually, pick me up again.
Now carry me over these big waves.
They're fun, but they make me a little seasick.
To Ukubonga, and step on it!
Whoa!
(laughing)
Yeah!
(cheering)
Arthur, wake up!
Huh?
Don't tell me I missed the whole thing.
You missed something,
but I'm not sure it was the show.
MUFFY: What happened?
Hey!
This room looks a little different.
Weird!
My watch has stopped.
What's going on?
Mr. Ratburn looks different.
No way!
Settle down, everyone, settle down.
I have some interesting news to report.
While you were watching the show,
a small wormhole opened up in the space-time continuum.
Ew!
Did any worms get out?
No, but you were all sucked into the wormhole
and transported into the future.
(gasps)
How far into the future?
Exactly four years.
Although for you, only an hour has elapsed.
You're still all in third grade.
Four years?
No way!
The good news is
I'm giving you all an extra day for your homework assignments
while you adjust to your new time.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
ARTHUR: Wow.
I can't believe four years have gone by.
I know!
It explains why I'm so hungry.
I see a few taller buildings and an electric bus.
But actually, not that much has changed.
What are you talking about?
Look at the new phone!
He was just like, "I am so not into that!"
No way!
He said what?!
(gasps)
Ugh, mine is so four years ago!
I wonder if my family will recognize me.
LADONNA: Of course they will!
Remember, you haven't changed at all.
The question is, will you recognize them?
Hello? Anybody home?
Arthur's back!
(laughs)
Hey, D.W.!
Your hair's different.
I'm not D.W.!
I'm Kate!
Huh?
Ugh!
It's because I'm wearing this silly outfit, isn't it?
I have to wear all her hand-me-downs!
You're home!
Arthur?
We missed you!
Good to have you back, son!
It's good to be back.
Where's D.W.?
She's out with her friends.
It's her ninth birthday.
(gasps)
She's older than me?
Well, we're all older, Arthur.
(barking)
Hey, boy!
You're all grown up!
Come on!
I want to show you Dora's room before she gets home.
"Dora"?
When she turned six,
she decided she actually likes the name.
Now she only wants to be called that.
Dora would never let me go in here alone,
but it's okay because I'm with you.
This used to be my room.
Huh, I would have thought there'd be more stuffed animals.
Well, don't tell her I told you,
but she still sleeps with Uni sometimes.
And this is where she works.
Here, I'll pretend to be her.
(in deep voice): "Get outta my room!
I'm doing my homework!"
Dora's always doing homework.
It's so boring.
But now that you're back, I'll have someone to play with.
Um...
(laughs)
That's the D.W. I remember.
Let's get out of here.
I don't want to get in trouble.
First we're going to play Confuse the Moose,
then Tower of Tofu, then...
Thanks, Octopodi.
Here, you can have my tiara for a tip.
(bells tinkling)
Hello?
Anybody home?
(creatures roaring and squawking)
Ooh, a little one!
Barely a snack.
And so unappealing!
I found her first, so I get the first bite.
Bite?!
Who said "bite"?!
(roaring)
Wait! Stop!
I have a ticket!
Let me see that.
It's true!
She has the ticket!
She is the chosen one!
ALL: All hail queen...
What's your name?
D.W.
ALL: D.W.!
Welcome to Ukubonga!
Hooray!
(roaring)
Stop!
Well, that's more like it.
Now that you know who I am, let's find out who you are.
What are your names?
I'm Bobblebay.
I'm Bobbleboo.
BOTH: We're the Bobbles.
Hmm.
You two sort of remind me of some people.
Do you like to shout?
No, I hate shouting.
I like being gentle and quiet.
I can be quieter than you.
No, you can't.
Oh, yeah?
Watch me!
(burps)
(laughs)
(whispering): Told ya.
Who are you?
Muk.
That's a nice hat.
You didn't win it off some scrappy little kid
named Bud, did you?
No.
I never win at anything.
This hat is part of my head.
Pull it.
Ow!
Ow.
Ow!
See?
Okay...
I'm Filomena.
Enchanté.
What are you wearing?
Rags.
I picked them out myself.
Aren't they gorgeous?
Um, no.
It's true.
They're terrible.
You look like a chew toy.
(sighs)
I guess I just have terrible taste.
All right, the introductions are over.
What do we do now?
Whatever you want.
You're the queen.
Good point.
Okay, I say we have a big party
with a feast!
ALL: Ooh, yeah!
A feast!
I love feasts!
And music!
ALL: Yeah, yeah!
Music! Music!
And dancing!
ALL: Dancing! Yay!
Dancing! Hooray!
(chanting): Feast, music, dancing!
Feast, music, dancing!
(yawns)
I win!
Let's play again.
We've already played four times.
Fine!
We'll play something else.
Boy, you get bored easily.
I know.
Let's play horsey.
Just put this in your mouth and I'll ride you.
No way!
Did D.W. tell you to...
D.W.: Nope.
She discovered it all on her own.
D.W.!
I mean, Dora.
My long-lost big brother!
Who is not that big anymore.
Hi, shorty!
(laughs)
Cut it out.
You haven't changed a bit.
You have.
Not really.
It's still the same old me.
And I still want my snowball back!
D.W., I told you once and for all, I never...
(laughs)
I'm kidding.
I haven't thought about that old thing in years.
Come on, let's get a snack.
I'm starving.
Don't tell her that I went into her room.
D.W.: I heard that!
You'll pay later, Katie-bug!
So, um, how's school?
We're not in the same class, are we?
I skipped a year, so I'm a fourth grader.
But I had Mr. Ratburn last year.
He gave so much homework.
I know, right?
I finally get why you were always so crabby.
Was I always crabby?
No, I just mean, you know, busy.
I'm sure I didn't help either.
I bet I was even worse than Kate.
You weren't so bad.
Oh, I almost forgot!
Happy birthday!
I was going to get you a present, but...
Are you kidding?
Having you back is the best present ever.
Hey, want to see my favorite show?
Mary Moo Cow?
Don't be silly.
That's a baby show!
Although they did put a lot of adult references in there.
No, this is my favorite show.
Cyborg Cindy.
She's a teenage girl who's part robot,
but no one knows except her best friend.
It's a spin-off from Bionic Bunny.
Want to watch?
Sure! Definitely!
Pretty cool, right?
Yeah!
This is really fun!
Welcome home.

I told you I was a great finder.
Well, you haven't found everyone yet.
Where's D.W.?
Listen up, I'm appointing you all deputy-seekers.
I want every inch of this house checked
and double-checked.
Now spread out!
Hmm.
Now, where would I be if I were D.W.?
(growling)
I lose again!
That makes 22 wins for Queen D.W. and zero wins for Muk.
Another round?
I'm feeling unlucky again.
Nah.
That's enough Ukubonga marbles for a while.
You guys can take a break.
What should we do now?
Ideas, please.
I could make you an anything-pie?
It'll taste like anything you want.
Not hungry.
I could make you a ball gown from the feathers
of the rare and beautiful Knuck-knuck bird.
This robe is fine.
Plus, that doesn't sound
very nice for the Knuck-knuck bird.
Next.
We could play capture the flag.
Oh wait,
we don't have enough monsters.
Unless...
Muk! Shh!
Don't tell her!
Don't tell me what?
There's one more monster on the island.
The Ruthra.
FILOMENA: But you don't want
to play with him.
He's very disobedient.
And big and mean.
And disobedient.
I said that already.
I said it better.
Hmm...
I'd like to meet this Ruthra.
Bring him to me.
We can't.
Didn't you hear the part about him being big, mean
and disobedient?
The Ruthra bows down to no one.
Well, I'm the queen of this island
and everyone has to bow down to me.
No exceptions!
Understand?
Yes, my queen! Yes, my queen!
Good.
Now if this Ruthra won't come when he's called,
we'll just go get him and drag him back here.
Prepare the expedition!
Ahh!
Agh!
Morning!
How long have you been staring at me?
I don't know, I can't tell time.
Boy, you sure sleep a lot.
I've been up for hours.
So, what are we going to play?
I don't know.
(yawning)
I haven't even had breakfast yet.
(oven dings) Already thought of that.
Here you go.
Ugh!
What's that?
A muffin with fruit
and bits of egg smushed into it.
It's a complete breakfast.
Down the hatch.
Um, I think I'll just have cereal.
(Buster laughing)
Is Buster here?
You mean that dopey kid with long ears?
Yeah.
But you said you'd play with me today.
I will. Later.
BUSTER: The best part about the future
is so many of my predictions have come true.
Like these bacon-'n'-egg breakfast dumplings.
I thought of that years ago.
(D.W. laughing)
How come you never told me
Buster was a genius?
Um, because he isn't?
Arthur, have a breakfast dumpling.
Remember when I tried to invent one?
Yuck!
I remember why I stopped you.
Hey, want to go bowling today?
Sure. Bowling?
That's so retro.
Want to come, Dora?
Can't.
I'm going to the Hover Park with Bud.
Hover Park?
What's that?
Can we come?
Buster, it's probably some little kid thing.
Little kid thing?
(chuckling): I don't think so.
It's easy!
Keep your arms tucked in and lean in the direction
you want to go.
Cannonball! Ahh!
D.W., are you okay?
Woo-hoo!
(gasping, exclaiming)
(machine whirring)
Ah!
Woo-hoo!
(gulps)
Ah!
(whooping, exclaiming)
This is awesome!
Watch out!
(laughing)
Woo-hoo!
Whoa!
I'm flying!
This is great! Yay!
Woo-hoo!
(buzzer)
(machine stops whirring)
(laughing): That was amazing!
Let's do it again.
I'd love to, but I have a ton of homework.
Oh, come on, can't it wait, D.W.?
I meant, Dora.
Just one more time.
Please?
Sorry, Arthur.
Here, you can use
my hover pass.
You and Buster have a good time.
You guys are leaving, too?
Bud's taking me to meet some of his other friends.
BUD: Just promise me you won't tell any goofy stories
about me as a kid.
Like the time you got your head stuck in a traffic cone?
Ladonna!
Oh, don't worry, Butter Brains.
Your secrets are safe with me.
Let's start it up again.
It's great that she gave us her pass.
(ding)
You know, I never realized it,
but your sister's really fun.
Why did we never hang out years ago?
Because she was so... D.W.-ish.
You remember what she was like.
Actually, I don't.
I just remember you always trying to get away from her.
(machine beeps, starts whirring)
Blast off!
(birds chirping)
(Ruthra roaring)
I've spotted him!
Help me, Botanic Bogey!
Save me from the squid monster!
(growling)
He doesn't look so mean.
But he is big.
Okay, I'm going to go talk to him.
Get Plan B ready, just in case.
(laughing, growling)
Hey! Ruthra!
Huh?
Who are you?
D.W. Read, queen of this island.
(loud stomping)
Says who?
Says me!
And this ticket.
Oh.
You have the ticket.
(sighing): Haven't seen one of these in a while.
Okay, you're the queen, big deal.
So what?
So... you have to bow down to me.
(cackling)
Me?
Never!
Oh, come on.
Just one little bow?
Then we'll go to the beach, have a feast, play some games.
Between you and me...
I'm getting a little bored of the others.
Knit one, purl two.
Ooh, nice mud pie, Bobbleboo.
Have some.
They do seem a little boring.
But Ruthra bows to no one!
Fine.
Have it your way.
Plan B, everyone!
Plan B!
(roaring)
(loud thud)
You are going to bow down to me,
and then we are going to have fun,
whether you like it or not.
(roaring)
I think that was the most fun I've ever had.
I know!
Let's go to the hover park every weekend.
See you in school tomorrow.
Later!
(D.W. and Vicita laughing)
(sighs)
I thought you had a ton of homework.
I do. Why?
I saw you over at the Molinas.
Oh, I was just helping Vicita with something.
Hey, Cyborg Cyndi's on now.
Want to watch it together?
Sorry, gotta hit the books.
CYBORG CYNDI: Professor Entropy,
it's time for you to be schooled!
You, school me?
I taught you everything you know!
Ha!
(loud action sound effects)
D.W.: Arthur!
Hey! Need something?
Want some help with your homework?
Help with my homework?
(scoffing): I'm a grade ahead of you, remember?
Oh, right.
Could you turn the TV down?
Thanks.
KATE: See what I mean?
Homework, homework, homework!
It's all she ever talks about.
Hey, want to watch Dr. Quackers with me?
What's that?
He's a duck, and a doctor.
He sings songs about numbers, and colors and being nice.
Um... maybe later.
Oh, come on, please!
He teaches you a new dance every show.
You're just like Dora.
No one ever wants
to spend any time with me.
Why won't you pay attention to me?
I'm busy.
No, you're not.
You're just standing there.
I'm busy ignoring you.
Look, I had Bobblebay make you an anything-cake.
It can taste like anything you want.
Mmm!
What are you tasting?
Not telling.
Hey, you dropped a piece.
Where?
Right there.
Ha ha! Made you bow.
(roaring)
Just for that, you have to listen to more music.

I told you, that Ruthra is no good!
What kind of monster doesn't bow to his queen?
We should throw him in the volcano.
Yeah, yeah! Great idea!
Throw him in the volcano. In the volcano!
No!
No one is going to lay a finger on him.
Ruthra may be mean, grumpy and a stick in the mud,
but he's interesting.
But he doesn't worship you.
I know.
That's what makes him interesting.
You four are just a bunch of yes-monsters.
Yes, my queen. Yes, my queen.
(sighing)
They're hopeless.

Okay, you can stop now.
Be gone!
Oh, that's better!
But whatever you want me to do, I'm not doing it.
Fine, I don't care.
I just wanted to get away from them for a while.
Always getting your way can be pretty exhausting.
I know.
You do?
Once, I was the king of Ukubonga...
It was my fifth birthday and everything was going wrong.
At one point, I ran away from my own party
and hid from everyone else.
That's when I was given the ticket.
At first I loved the island.
Finally, I was getting everything I wanted.
It was the best party ever.
Then one day, I realized I was bored.
Life was just too easy.
So I quit being the king and left.
I went to the middle of the island, where I lived alone.
I grew bigger and meaner.
And lonelier.
But why didn't you just leave Ukubonga and go back home?
You can't leave.
The island won't let you.
Once you're here,
you're here forever.
No!
I am not staying here!
I'm going home.
And I'm going to take you with me.
Here's what we're going to do...
(indistinct whispering)
(Tibbles laughing)
(laughing)
Do it again!
(knocking)
ARTHUR: Hey, Dora, can I come in?
Enter.
What are you doing?
Just talking with the Tibbles.
They're doing a semester in space.
Hey, guys, say hi to Arthur.
Hey!
Welcome back!
Wanna see me eat peas?
Hey!
That was mine!
Uh-uh!
It was from my package!
(groaning)
Give it!
Let go!
The reception is a little spotty.
What's up?
Um, well, I just wanted to... apologize.
Apologize for what?
For not being the best older brother.
I ignored you a lot.
I didn't want to spend time with you,
just because you were younger
and, well, now I wish I had.
It's okay.
I would have been the exact same way.
Don't worry about it.
Really?
Wow, thanks... Dora.
So, want to hang out after school tomorrow?
Hey, Dora!
Are you there?
Tommy's about to eat soup!
Just a minute, Timmy.
Um, tomorrow's not so good.
But later.
Definitely later.
I'd ask you
if you'd like to have tea with me,
but I already know what the answer would be.
Hey, is that Fluff McGuffin?
Yes. As if you cared.
That's what Dora really wanted for her birthday.
Back when she was still a kid.
I kind of miss her.
Two lumps.
No cream.
(crickets chirping)
(rustling) (gasping)
Quickly! To the boat!
But won't they see that you've gone?
I created a diversion.
(yawning)
Ah!
What have I done?!
My queen!
(growling)
Bobblebay, Bobbleboo,
Filomena!
Come quick!
(all growl)
(roaring)
MUK: No!
They're getting away!
Stop them!
(howling)
(gasps)
(screams)
They're going to break the boat!
Not if I can help it!
(roaring)
(yelling)
No!
Ruthra!
I won't leave you behind!
(loud thud)
Go!
Go back while you still can!
Oh, Ruthra!
(Ruthra roaring in the distance)
KATE: And then the Lady said to Mr. Worthing,
"To lose one teddy bear is very sad.
(yawning)
"But to lose both
is simply careless."
What on earth do you think that means, Mr. McGuffin?
(Ruthra's roars echoing)
BUSTER: Arthur, wake up!
Huh?
You slept through the whole thing.
What time is it?
Did we go through a wormhole?
A worm hole?
I don't think I'd fit in a worm hole.
Maybe a rabbit hole.
Hey, Muffy, can I see the date on your phone?
(beeps)
Yes!
It's the present!
Ooof!
What other time would it be?
You're coming to my party, right?
What party?
I emailed you about it.
Everyone's invited to my house as a reward
for doing something science-y on the weekend.
There'll be pizza, movies...
I can't.
It's D.W.'s birthday.
Oh!
Didn't she just have one, like, a year ago?
Remember to buy her a present!
(panting)
Wait, wait!
I have to get something!
Sorry.
We're closed.
Come back tomorrow.
Tomorrow is too late!
It's my sister's birthday
and I really have to get her a present.
What about chocolate?
Please?
No...
Ruthra...
So?
How was the vacation?
Well, you know what they say:
the best part about going on a trip is coming home.
Did Bud find me?
Not yet.
What?!
But it's probably been hours and hours!
Like I said, you're a really good hider.
I'm not that good.
I bet they all just stopped looking.
Maybe you should just call it quits and join the others.
No! I want to be found.
If they care enough, they'll find me.
BUD: D.W.?
Where is she?
(groaning): Maybe we should stop.
Hide-n-seek is giving me a tummy ache.
You know, sometimes the best way
to find something is to just stop looking.
D.W.!
I'm here!
I made it!
ARTHUR: D.W.!
Where's D.W.?
We're looking for her.
Really?
You look like you're just laying around.
We were playing hide-n-seek and Bud couldn't find her,
so we're hoping she'll just...
turn up.
(sniffing)
Ugh!
You smell.
It comes with the job, sir.
D.W.!
D.W.?
Arthur! You found me!
This is where I used to hide when I was a kid.
I haven't been in here in ages.
Come on in.
So?
How's the party?
Okay, I guess.
It's better now.
Oh, I got you a present.
(gasps)
It's Fluff McGuffin the Magic Puffin!
How did you know?
You've only been talking about it nonstop
for the last three weeks.
Where's my card?
(sighing)
Here.
That's a little boy
on the cover.
I know, I know,
I was in a rush.
Too much of a rush to remember you were buying
a card for your little sister?!
I made a mistake, okay?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
At least they're cute little llamas.
Llamas?
I thought they were aardvarks.
No, no, they're definitely llamas.
Happy birthday, D.W.
One more thing:
I know I don't say it a lot
but, well... I like you.
And not just 'cause you're my sister.
I like you, too.
Even if you are a terrible birthday card picker.
So?
Want to come out now?
Let's stay here just a tiny bit longer.
Could you move over?
I don't have enough room.
There's plenty of room!
You should eat less.
D.W.: Hey!
Want to learn the Beastie Boogaloo Song?
ARTHUR: Um... do I have to?
Yes!
It's my birthday!
Fine, fine, whatever you want, Dora.
What did you call me?!
Sorry, sorry, okay, teach me the song.
We'll do it in Ukubongan first.
Maka-laka-picky-ponga- doo-bah-yay...
No way!
I'm not saying...
Arthur, it's my birthday!
