♫What a wonderful kind of day♫ Hey!

Hey, D.W.!

Hey!

Whoa... Today's show is all about having fun and how sometimes when you're trying to have fun... MUFFY:Ladonna!

Bailey's taking me to the mall to buy Halloween costumes before anyone else.

You can be a clown.

Come on!

Uh, okay, just let me finish... Ladonna!

The Grebes are in the playoffs and I've got two tickets.

Great!

Popcorn's on me.

I just got to... ARTHUR:Ladonna!

I thought you were going to teach me how to juggle.

Sure!

No time like the present.

What are you doing?

You don't know how to juggle.

Hey!

Ow!

Watch it!

Why'd you have to go and point that out?

I was hungry.

Like I was saying... sometimes when you're trying to have fun, you bite off more than you can chew.

Wow!

We've got fall in Louisiana, but it's nothing like this.

It's my favorite time of year.

I like to save a few really beautiful leaves for my scrapbook.

That's a great idea.

Mind if I copy it?

Be my guest.

Hey, you know what's really fun?

The Saturday Autumn Craft Class!

You get to make gourd people.

Want to come?

Gourd people?

(growling) Mommy...!

It's alive!

Count me in.

MUFFY: Hi, Ladonna!

Do you have any plans tomorrow?

Well, I... Great!

You're coming apple picking with us.

It's the most fun fall thing to do.

That, and the Harvest Hay Ride on Sunday.

You'll do both, right?

Sure.

Last year we picked four baskets.

This year, I'm hoping to increase our yield by 50%.

No sweat.

I'll warm up my picking arms.

BINKY: Do you like puppies?

Um, well, yeah.

Who doesn't?

Then it's your lucky day.

You get to volunteer for the Rake 'n' Bake Fundraiser tomorrow.

We raise money for the animal shelter.

Okay.

Oh, wait, I'm going apple picking with... All right, I'll put you down for an apple pie.

I got to bake a pie?

Well, I can't do everything.

I've got my hands full organizing this event.

See you at the Tibbles' house at 3:00.

Don't be late.

Okay, I get up at 7:00, make the pie crust but don't bake it yet, go to apple picking, then...

Wait.

First comes the craft class, then the apple picking.

BUD: Boy, third grade homework sure sounds hard.

It's not homework.

I'm trying to plan out my day tomorrow.

You're doing all that?

Well, that's too much.

Rapty and I will make the pie for you.

You don't know how to make a pie.

Neither do you, but that doesn't seem to be stopping you.

(sighs) Bud, I got to finish this schedule.

My friends have been nice enough to invite me to all these things and I'm not going to disappoint them.

Now go to bed.

She's never going to do it all.

(alarm beeping) (yawning) ♫♫ (coughing) Ah!

♫♫ CISELY: Ladonna Compson!

(gasps) What is going on here?!

Just... makin' a pie.

(alarm beeping) I'll clean all this up, cross-my-heart, but right now you've got to take me to craft class.

That's amazing!

Thanks.

I call her Lady Campbell.

What are you calling... that?

Um... Frank.

But it's not finished yet.

I'm going to give him another eye and put him in a cow... (watch alarm beeping) Ugh!

I got to go!

But there's still a half an hour left.

I know, I know, but I got to pick apples and the orchard's all the way on the other side of town.

What about Frank?

Uh...

I guess I'll finish him at home.

Or make him into a side dish.

I can't decide.

Thanks!

See ya!

Thanks, Mom.

Don't worry, I'll be back by 2:00.

See ya!

Higher, Bailey.

There's a whole bunch at the top.

LADONNA: Hey, Muffy!

Sorry I'm late.

We got a little lost.

Here, I brought you something.

What is it?

A gourd person.

His name's Frank.

What am I supposed to do with it?

Um, why don't you give it to your mom?

Moms love that sort of thing.

Oh, thanks!

I'm starving.

So, where do I start?

(panting) Okay, I think this tree's finished.

Isn't this fun?

(watch alarm beeping) (gasps) I got to go.

What?!

But we're still about... 33% short of our goal.

I know.

But I promised Binky I'd bake the Tibbles at 3:00.

I mean, I bake a pie and take it... oh, never mind.

I should've planned better.

I'm sorry, Muffy.

Okay.

But you're going to miss the best part.

We make candy apples and sell them at the hayride.

I was going to cut you in on the profits.

Rats.

Well, save me an apple.

Oh, one more thing.

I kind of need a ride home.

Can Bailey take me?

(sighs) (alarm beeping) Perfect!

And I even have time to wash up.

(gasps) Bud Compson!

I didn't do it!

It's Rapty's fault!

He's a pie-na-vore dinosaur!

What am I going to do now?

Binky was counting on me.

Call it apple crumble.

It's going to taste the same.

(bicycle bell ringing) I'm here, Binky!

And I brought my famous Compson Apple Crumble.

(chittering) Whoa!

(splat) (gasps) Not bad.

But you were supposed to bring the pie to the Sugar Bowl.

That's where the raffle is.

Didn't you read the brochure?

And, it's 3:05.

I am marking you as late, young lady.

Sorry!

Pardon me!

Coming through!

You come back here!

Gotcha!

(groans) (sigh) ARTHUR: Hey, nice pile.

(panting) Thanks.

You look pretty beat.

Want some help?

No, no, it's fine.

I'll do a couple more piles, then I'll call it a day.

Okay.

Well, I'll be over at the cider table if you want some help.

(Tibbles laughing) (groans) (snoring) Where is she?

This is so rude!

FERN: You think this is bad?

I invited her to craft class and she left in the middle.

Well, she threw a pie at me!

Although it was delicious.

That's it!

I'm tired of waiting for her.

Bailey, you may proceed.

LADONNA: Wait!

Wait for me!

I'm sorry!

I woke up late!

I got here as soon as I could but...!

(animals clucking and mooing in the background) (wind rustling) (groaning) (grunting) You never finished me!

(gasps) (screaming) Ah!

(sighs) (gasps) BUD: Relax.

You already missed the hay ride.

I went, though.

It was pretty fun.

Why didn't you wake me?!

Because Mom said you needed to rest after yesterday.

Was everybody mad at me?

I don't know.

Why don't you ask Arthur?

He was there.

And he's on the porch now.

(gasps) I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I overslept and... What are you sorry for?

Because I missed the hayride.

And I didn't stay for craft class, and I didn't pick enough apples and I ruined the pie and I made you rake my leaves.

Isn't everybody angry at me?

No, I just came by to see if you wanted to go on a walk.

ARTHUR: Don't worry about it.

I bite off more than I can chew all the time.

Everyone does.

I know.

I just...

I guess I just want everyone to like me.

They do.

That's why everyone invited you to their favorite fall activity.

But most of all, they just want you to enjoy your first fall up here.

(watch alarm beeping) What do you have to go to now?

I haven't the faintest idea.

But whatever it is, I'm not going.

Hey, can I have that leaf?

That's a great one.

I'm starting a scrapbook and everything's going to be in it.

I mean everything.

Like this moment right now.
