- [Announcer] Another one for the Flying Pigs.

- Now the other team has more points.

- We are losing.

(whistle blowing) - [Announcer] Time out.

- They're taking a time out.

There's Stanley!

- Oh, Stanley looks sad.

- This is a tough game.

Chomp, chomp!

- We need to cheer Stanley up.

Hm!

- Go, Stanley!

- [All] Go, Stanley!

- Go, Stanley!

- I do not think that Stanley can hear us.

(gasping) - We need to make Stanley hear us.

Come on, popcorn.

Help me think of an idea.

The Vator Gators need us.

(munching) (magical music) - [Popcorn Bucket] Albie!

Something to help Stanley and the Vator Gators.

(Elevator dinging) - Hey there.

- Hi, I'm Albie.

- I'm Jay.

- I'm Ambarella.

Are you watching the Elevator Alligators?

Close game.

- Mm-Huh we want to cheer on our neighbor Stanley.

- Go Stanley!

- Go Stanley!

- How about one of my Power Hearts?

(chime ringing) - Power Hearts?

What are they?

- Power Hearts are how I spread kindness all over the neighborhood.

(drum roll) - Wow!

- How do you make them?

- First I think of what I want the Power Heart to say.

This one says, "You are loved."

Then I print it on a special type of paper.

- Cool.

- The best part is I put Power Hearts in a place where everyone can see them.

Let's Go!

(cheerful music) - [Ambarella] First I'm putting glue on the wall, where I think I want the Power Heart to go.

I started the Power Hearts when I was going through a hard time in my life.

I would leave messages around the neighborhood, for myself, to cheer myself up, and encourage myself to go on about my day.

Power Hearts are supposed to be reminders and words of encouragement, reminders that you are loved, you are worth it.

Now I can put this heart up against the glue, that looks good.

So I'm going press it against the wall so that it sticks, and next I'm going to put a layer of glue overtop of it to seal it.

I have hearts near where people like to go in the morning, sometimes in the morning people might wake up grumpy and they nee a little message to cheer them up on their way to work.

So next I'm going to use my hand to make sure it's all coated.

I like this part, it's okay to make messes.

(laughter) Now the Power Heart is stuck to the wall, and once it dries this will be clear again and you'll be able to see the black heart and the white letters, that say, "You are loved."

And that is how I make a Power Heart.

- I've seen these around the neighborhood, they always cheer me up when I walk by them.

- Kind words can cheer on people you know, or people you don't know.

(character squeaking) It's one of my favorite ways to spread kindness.

Good Luck Albie, and go Vator Gators!

- Bye!

- Bye!

(upbeat music) - Spread kindness, hmm.

- Albie, the time out is over, wanna watch the rest of the game?

- I have an idea, we can cheer the Vator Gators with... Albie heart.

- I like the sound of that.

- Uh, but I'll need everybody's help.

- Let's do this.

For Stanley.

- For the whole team, people we know and people we don't know.

- For the Elevator Alligators.

- Vator Gators!

- [All] Chomp, chomp.

(laughter) - Huggy Pepper, lets get this cheer party started.

- [Jay] Chomp, Chomp, Chomp, Chomp, Chomp, (whistle blowing) chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, (knocking) Go Stanley!

(upbeat organ music) (upbeat music) (elevator dings) ♪ Cutesy-Wootsy covers for a sleepy meepy friend.

♪ - [Huggy] Mommy.

- Sorry Huggy.

Oh hi, welcome to my snoozeerific elevator.

Before Huggy's nap, I think we should make sure the elevator is ready.

- A splendid idea Albie.

- Elevator buttons, ready?

- [Tibitz] Elevator buttons are colorful and shiny and activated.

Ready.

- Cozy smells, ready?

- [Tibitz] Cozy smells being spread throughout the elevator.

Ready.

- Delish, and pep talk ready?

- [Tibitz] Pep talk, your voice matters.

- Oh... My voice matters, and so does yours, and so does yours.

- Okay Huggy, everyone is being extra quiet for your nap.

- [Huggy] Ewah?

- A story?

Okay.

- [Huggy] Ewah, remah?

- Oooo, a rhyming story, sounds great!

- Uh... - [Both] Please.

- Okay, okay sure, it can rhyme.

- Oh I love a rhyme, like cat and hat, or floor and door.

Oh I can't wait, I'll start.

Okay, this story starts with, "once upon a time," it's a story with a wizard and a castle and uh, uh, uh... - A lime?

- Yeah, a lime!

In a far away kingdom, through the woods to the right, lived the hero of our story, uh, um... Oh I can't think of a rhyme Zia.

- How about a little knight?

- Night, like when it's dark outside?

- No.

Knight, like a person in a suit of armor in a fairy tale.

(regal music) Wanna continue?

- Maybe you do it instead.

- Are you sure?

- I just want to listen.

- Okay, jump in if you want to.

(magical music) Sir Hug was a new knight, just completing his training.

He was a bit nervous, somethings still needed explaining.

The other knights were pros, so good at knight things, like riding horses, and bowing, and um, eating chicken wings.

Sir Hug sometimes felt a bit out of sorts, like he couldn't keep up when playing knight sports.

(whistle blowing) He wanted to join them to be able to play, but he still felt to shy, today wasn't the day.

The next morning, while out on a walk around town, our knight tripped over a log and fell on the ground.

He was embarrassed and sat rubbing his leg when he noticed right there was a, um, a giant gold egg.

A giant gold egg, what was that doing there?

He took it back to the castle... (grunting) He took it back to the castle... (grunting) (panting) He took it back to the castle... - [Huggy] Hey, um, get out.

Yay.

- [Zia] ... to a big cozy chair.

He showed his knight friends who all scratched their heads.

- One moment, - [Zia] Said Sir Bonbon.

- there's a tag to be read.

- [Zia] Sir Bonbon was right there was a tag on the side so he brought it to Tibitz.

The big knight looked at it, and cried.

(crying) - [Tibitz] Boo-hoo.

- [Zia] Wait no, he um, he tried to hide?

No no, he sighed.

(sighing) - This egg will open with the right word.

- [Zia] The knights scratched their heads at what they just heard.

- The right word?

Hmm I know a few.

Harmonica.

Ghost.

Tapioca.

Shoe.

- I think I can do it.

- [Zia] Sir Bonbon was proud, but his way... (yelling) ... we found was much to loud.

- Maybe we should sing Happy Birthday?

- Or offer it a cake?

- [Zia] They tried all sorts of things, all were mistakes.

Finally they turned to the small knight, in sync.

- [Albie] Sir Hug it's your turn.

- What do you think?

- [Zia] The small knight had an idea, but the words just wouldn't come out, he was just a new knight, what did he know about?

He stared at friends, the word stuck in his brain, he wanted to share them, but was too shy to explain.

He ran off to hide, left the egg with his friends, he sat for a break where the drawbridge ends.

Our poor little knight, he was upset, then he heard... - [Wizard] Wish things were a bit different I bet?

- [Zia] He turned round to see a great wizard was there, with a great wizard hat and great wizard hair, a great wizard staff and a great wizard wink.

- I have just the thing to help you I think.

(thunder) - [Zia] He raised his arms high, the small knight was fascinated, and in a powerful voice he said... - [Wizard] Stalling mold activated.

- [Zia] Flashing lights, beeping boops, everything swirled, then with the ding of the doors they entered a new world.

- Hey wizard, hey little knight, my name is Malik, is everything all right?

- Well my friend here is trying to get a golden egg to crack but he's scared to share his idea, he's stuck holding back.

- I get it small knight, really I do, but you know what I find to be magically true?

That your friends are there wishing they'd all hear from you.

Even if you're unsure, or you feel yourself shake, your ideas are important they're not a mistake.

See I wear a lot of hats, I teach, I write, I sing, and it happens that I often help knights with these things.

Using words in a wish, or syllables in a song, can express your ideas.

- See your ideas belong.

- [Zia] Just then a few friends came into Malik's room.

- Hey, what's up you guys?

- [All] Hey.

- I have a question for you, have y'all ever felt shy before?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- [Zia] It was a familiar tune.

- Music is something that makes me feel like me, wanna try it too?

- [Zia] His small friends agreed, one by one they stood up.

- Tell me about you.

- [Zia] Some felt a bit nervous.

- Deep breath, take your time, do what you do.

Inhale, (breathing) smell the flower, (breathing) exhale, be in your power.

- [Zia] Each friend offered a song about who they are, each friend got to shine like a bright sparkly star.

- I'm a kind friend and I help when I'm asked, at the playground or park I can run super fast.

- I make my friends laugh and smile when they're sad, I love making pancakes at home with my dad.

- I can be a bit quiet and I have lots of fears, but I'm always there for a friend with my listening ears.

If they are feeling lonely and want to talk, I can sit and listen or go with them for a walk.

- Well look at that, every kid is so special.

- You know it's inside you, you know what's true, sharing with friends is the next thing to do.

Buh-bye - [Albie] But what about the lime?

- What lime?

- You said there was going to be a lime.

- Oh Oh that lime, there is, wait for it.

Malik waved goodbye, the knight and wizard waived back, they felt better but still shy.

- Would you like a snack?

All that thinking and feeling has made me quite hungry.

- [Zia] The timing was weird, this wizards a bit funky, he held out a hand balled up in a fist.

- This is more than a snack, it's just what you wished.

Come closer to see it, I think it's quite cute.

- [Zia] He opened his hand and... - It's a lime, you know, fruit.

- [Zia] What was the deal, it was little and green, it looked totally normal like all limes that you've seen.

- This lime has a power, ancient and old, to help those that lick it open any egg of gold.

- [Zia] Extremely specific and just what he needed right now.

- It's yours if you want it.

- [Zia] The shocked knight wondered how, what were the odds?

Could this fruit fix what's wrong?

- Seems like you need it, pass the kindness along.

(whistling) - Whoa, magic.

(laughter) - [Zia] The knight raced to the castle to tell what he'd heard, and found the other knights still shouting words.

- Button.

- Balloon.

- Orangutan.

- Snow.

- [Zia] This went exactly as you think it would go, try as they might no word made a dent.

- Cantaloupe.

- Catastrophe.

- Three ring circus tent.

- [Zia] The small knight took a deep breath and straightened his costume, he licked the lime in the center of the room.

The lime indeed was very sour, but almost immediately he felt it's great power.

He would share his idea to get the egg open, he cleared his throat, shrugged, and thought, "Well here's hoping."

(breath) (loud operatic note) With the knights one pure note, just once simple LA, the egg had cracked open... - [Albie] They all stood in awe.

- Hey, nice rhyme Albie.

- Oh, thanks Zia.

(laughter) - [Huggy] Shh.

- [Zia] Oh sorry.

The knight kept on singing, then looked up when he heard a small happy chirp.

- [Albie] From a small golden bird.

- You did it small knight.

- [Zia] The friends gave his back a pat.

- I had no idea you could sing like that.

- Thank you for sharing your talent and light.

- [Zia] Sir Hug just smiled.

- [Albie] And his friends hugged him tight.

- [Zia] The knight reached for the lime that gave him the courage to go on, but when he looked around the lime it was gone.

Oh no his powers, they came from that lime.

- No they didn't, - [Zia] Said the wizard.

- It was in your the whole time, you had the talent.

- [Zia] He turned away slowly.

- Now excuse me, I need this for my guacamole.

- [Zia] The young knight was stunned, but happy to know, his voice was worth sharing.

He could... - [Albie] ... let his light glow.

He turned back to his knight friends, still playing word games.

- Things that start with "F" - Flamingo!

- Fluff.

- Feather.

- [Albie] The golden bird bobbed and bounced as the gang all rejoiced, Sir Hug was proud that today he found his voice.

- [Zia And Albie] The end.

- Hmm sweet dreams Huggy.

- Great rhyming Albie, you were a terrific helper today.

- Maybe when Huggy wakes up we can all play.

(giggling) - I see what you did there, I'd love to stay.

- Owe, did you know that a horse like to eat hay?

- I heard that, I heard they like to eat hay all-day.
