It was a humid night in AlBumen, as the eggs watched the annual 4th of July show.

- Look at that one.

- That was awesome.

Sigourney, look at that one.

- Hello my friends.

I am pleased to announce the city of Albumen, will be hosting a fun run to benefit the Albumen Children's Hospital.

Teams will be formed and any donations collected will be given to help the children at the hospital.

If you would like to participate, please register your team at the signup table in the parking lot on your way out.

- Eggs, Let's be a team and help the kids at the hospital.

This is something more I can do to make up for my mistakes with the lemonade stand and the bike repair last month.

Will you do it?

Please.

- Benedict, a fun run is a lot of work.

We have to be strong enough to run the distance.

Can we do that?

- Yes we can, Peggy.

I think it's a great idea.

We can do this.

We just need some confidence together with teamwork.

We won the baseball championship, didn't we?

We know we can compete.

What do you say everyone?

(cheerful music) - It says here, we need a team name.

What should it be?

- I know.

How about Team Half Dozen?

There are six of us.

That makes a half dozen.

What do you think?

(eggs laughing) - That's a good one Sigourney.

Team Half Dozen it is.

- [Narrator] Meg finished filling out the paperwork and then they all agreed to start training tomorrow.

The next day, the eggs met at Albumen park.

Meg brought the paperwork so they could go over the rules.

- It says in the rules, one person from the team runs the mile around the track and then hands the baton off to the next person on the team.

That person then runs the mile and when he or she finishes, hands the baton to the next person and so on until all team members are done.

That sounds like a lot of running.

Can we each run a mile?

- Remember, confidence Meg.

We can do this.

- [Narrator] The eggs ran around the track training all morning.

When they finished Sigourney, Meg Reggie and Peggy had run the mile.

They felt very comfortable with it.

Gregory, however, took a little longer.

The ankle he broke in November was beginning to hurt.

- I don't want to over do the running today.

My ankle is a little sore.

- Let's stop training now.

I can't seem to run the mile.

I'm gonna let the team down.

I just know it.

- Benedict, confidence.

Remember?

- [Narrator] The eggs decided to stop and train again in a few days.

As they rested under a shady oak tree, they brainstormed ways to raise money for the hospital.

- The mayor said we needed to collect donations for the children at the hospital.

Does anyone have any ideas?

- How bought a car wash?

We had one at my old school and it made a lot of money.

- That's a great idea!

Let's do that tomorrow.

- [Narrator] The next day, the eggs got permission from the school custodian to hold their car wash in the parking lot.

Car, after car, after car came.

They were busy all morning and most of the afternoon.

Finally, around four o'clock, they decided to call it a day.

- We must have washed a thousand cars.

How much money did we make?

- Well, at five dollars a car plus tips we made... Wow.

We made 253 dollars!

- Don't forget the money our parents donated, add that to the total.

- Well Team Half Dozen.

We should be very proud of ourselves.

We have 515 dollars to donate to Albumen Children's Hospital.

- [Narrator] The aches continued to train in the park for the next week.

Gregory's ankle was feeling much better, but Benedict was still not able to complete the mile.

- The fun run is tomorrow, but I don't feel ready.

I'm having trouble completing the mile.

I can't do it.

I'm going to let you down.

I just know it.

- Benedict, you need some confidence.

You can do it!

- I sure hope so.

- [Narrator] It was an exciting day as the fun run got underway.

The eggs watched other teams compete before it was their turn.

But soon they were called to the track.

- Team Half dozen to the track, please.

You are the last team to compete.

You must beat the fastest time.

- [Narrator] The eggs gathered at the starting line.

Sigourney looked at a nervous benedict and gave him a quick pep talk.

- Benedict, you know you can do this.

Just find the confidence inside you and run your best.

You will finish the mile.

I just know it.

- Take your mark.

Get ready, set, go.

- The referee waved the flag.

Sigourney was first for Team Half Dozen.

She completed the mile and handed the baton to Gregory.

He also completed the mile and handed the baton to Meg.

She ran the fastest and gained the team some time.

She then handed the baton to Reggie who was also a fast runner.

He completed his mile and handed it off to Peggy.

Who ran as fast as she could.

She was coming to the end of a run ready to hand the baton to Benedict.

The crowd was cheering loudly.

(crowd cheering) - Half Dozen!

Half Dozen!

Go Team Half Dozen!

Half Dozen Go!

- Go Benedict, go!

Remember, confidence.

- [Narrator] Benedict ran quickly around the track but began to slow down right near the finish line.

He could hear his teammates cheering him on.

- Don't stop now, Benedict.

You're almost there!

- Find the confidence inside of you, Benedict.

You can do it.

- You got this, Benedict.

- [Narrator] Benedict was encouraged by his friend's cheers but began to run slower and slower.

He wanted to collapse onto the track.

But he knew he had to find his confidence somehow.

He looked at the finish line and saw a little egg in a wheelchair waving a flag and cheering for him.

- Go Team Half Dozen, go!

- [Narrator] The little egg had a broken arm and a broken leg but he seemed so happy and so excited.

Benedict felt a rush of hopefulness come over him.

He wanted to win the fun run for the little egg and the rest of the children at the hospital.

He found his confidence and began to run so fast.

He got to the finish line in plenty of time for his team to win the relay.

- We knew you could do it.

Way to go, Benedict.

- We all did it.

We make a great team.

(heavy breathing) - Congratulations to Team Half Dozen.

In just a few minutes, I will ask them to make a speech.

They will also get to choose how to spend their donation to the hospital.

- A speech?

I don't remember reading that in the rules.

We better come up with one fast.

- [Narrator] Sigourney grabbed a piece of paper that blew by and together they frantically began to write down a speech.

Peggy agreed to read it.

- I'll be fine reading the speech.

After all it's way here in front of me on this paper.

- [Narrator] The eggs were called to the track and the mayor put a gold medal around each of their necks.

The crowd cheered, but as Peggy approached the microphone to read the speech, a big gust of wind blew the paper right out of her hands.

She was stunned and not sure what to do next.

- Find the confidence inside of you, Peggy.

You can do it.

- [Narrator] As Peggy looked into the crowd she spotted the same little egg that Benedict saw as he approached the finish line.

She knew she had to do it for the children at the hospital.

She dug deep down inside of herself and found her confidence as she began to speak.

(microphone screeches) - Team Half Dozen would like to thank everyone who cheered for us today.

We worked hard for this fun run.

It was worth it because we love the children at the hospital and want to make them happy.

We have decided to buy the books for their library.

- Great job, Peggy.

- Let's go celebrate with some ice cream.

(cheerful music) - [Narrator] As the eggs sat eating their ice cream.

Peggy became quiet and started to cry.

- Peggy, what is it?

- Well, I, I have to go back home tomorrow.

I love my home, but I'll miss everyone here at Albumen.

You Eggs have been such good friends to me.

I really appreciate everything you have done to help me.

- [Narrator] Just then, Benedict abruptly left the table.

- I'll be right back.

- Peggy, we will always be here for you.

You can come and visit us anytime.

- I will come and visit for sure, but there is one thing I am not sure of.

I don't know how it will be going back home with my parents split up.

They said it will be fine, but I have to get used to a different living arrangement.

- Peggy, today you found your confidence and made a wonderful speech.

Use that same confidence whenever you are feeling unsure about anything at home and you will be okay.

- And you can always call any one of us too.

- [Narrator] Peggy was beginning to feel confident and secure about going back home.

Knowing that her friends at Albumen would always be there for her.

Just then Benedict came back to the table.

- Hey, I got everyone a second serving of ice cream.

Here you go.

And Peggy here, I got you something special to go with your vanilla ice cream.

(eggs laughing) I'll miss you Peggy.

Be sure to keep in touch.

- Oh, I will.

You can all be confident about that.

(upbeat music) Thanks for watching.

And thanks for being a good egg.
