Looks like things are going to get bumpy and boo-y!
Huh?
Aah!
(Laughing) (Thunder crashing) Cat, you know how some frights are fun?
Uh-huh.
And how some keep you safe or remind you to ask for help?
Uh-huh.
Well, this one feels like a warning to go home!

Thunder can't hurt me.
It's only rumble and boom.
And without lightning around, you won't hear any soon.
(Laughing) Do you know any more thunder games?
I most certainly do.
How do you play?
It's really quite simple.
When you see a flishy-flash flasher, start counting.
(Lightning crashing) One, one thousand.
Two, one thousand.
(Thunder booming) When you hear the boom, stop counting.
And when you see the next flash, start counting again.
Flishy-flash flashers.
One, one thousand.
Two, one thousand.
Three, one thousand.
(Thunder booming) Hey, it was longer that time.
Which means the storm is moving away.
Aww.
I don't think you'll have a problem with thunder again, Nick.
You've been very brave.
Even though I was frightened?
Because you were frightened.
You can't be brave unless you're afraid.
Facing fears make heroes of us all.
