That's me, Fred the house cat.

When my family leaves for the day, I don't just sit inside watching the world go by.

(Gasping) SQUEEKS: Piñata?

Food?

Games?

This is a party!

It's a party.

Oh, sweet.

What's the special occasion, Hal?

Today is Mr. Chewinsky's and my three-year anniversary as dog and toy.

Oh, wow.

Congratulations, you two.

Thanks.

I even invited all of Mr. Chewinsky's friends.

There's good old Señor Squeaky Shoe, Harold the Flying Disc, Sheldon.

(Laughing) Sweet, simple, round Sheldon.

Chewlia Roberts.

Inspector Chewseau.

And, of course, crazy Bob Chewhart.

(Laughing) Bob, you are the life of the party.

(Laughing) Whoa!

Has it really been three years, Hal?

Yup.

Three years since that special day.

I'm remembering it as we dissolve to flashback... (Echoing): Flashback, flashback...

I was digging a hole.

It was one of my seven best, if I recall.

Huh?

(Laughing) When out of the ocean came Mr. Chewinsky.

I didn't know how he got there or where he came from, but I knew we would be best friends forever.

Woo-hoo!

(Laughing) (Squeaking) (Giggling) Three cheers for Mr. Chewinsky.

Hip-hip... ALL: Hooray!

Hip-hip... Hooray!

RONALD: Will you keep it down over there?

Ronald.

RONALD: Uh-huh.

(Ronald laughing) Yes!

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Ronald, do you want to come to Mr. Chewinsky's and my anniversary party?

Of course I do not.

I'm busy getting some much-needed relaxation.

Now, leave me alone, and please keep the noise level down.

Thank you.

Well, we certainly don't need Ronald to party.

Party!

Party!

Yeah, let's celebrate Hal and Mr. Chewinsky.

Ooh!

And I feel a song coming on.

Maestro.

I'll never, ever, ever, never, ever, ever let anything bad happen to you.

May I hold him, Hal?

Sure you can, Nature Cat.

No sweat.

What could happen?

Now let's give those three cheers for Mr. Chewinsky.

Hip-hip... ALL: Hooray!

(All gasping) (Squeaking) (All gasping) Aah!

Chewinsky!

Oh, what he said!

(Chewinsky squeaking) (Gasping) SQUEEKS: I see him.

Chewinsky's in the bird's nest.

Don't worry, Hal.

We can get him down from there.

(Squeaking) Oh, I'll catch you, Mr. Chewinsky.

And I'll save you too.

Whoa!

Oh, dear, oh, me!

No, no!

(Squeaking) Where'd he go?

Where'd he go?

I don't know.

And who put this hole in the middle of the road?

I heard it's called a storm drain.

When it rains like it did last night, extra water flows in here.

But where does it go?

Somewhere to get cleaned, I hope.

Yuck, I hope so.

Looks like all kinds of nasty stuff's going down there.

A Rudzie's bag?

No!

No plastic!

But Mr. Chewinsky is in there too.

Oh, no.

This is all my fault.

I am so sorry, Hal.

And I vow to you, I will get Mr. Chewinsky back.

Nature Cat, how?

We don't even know where he is.

Actually-- We'll fish Mr. Chewinsky out of the storm drain with a... Not this.

We'll fish him out with a... Not this.

We will get him out with a-- Okay, not this either.

Hey!

Woo-hoo.

I can't find anything to help Mr. Chewinsky.

Nature Cat, listen.

I put trackers on all of Hal's chew toys for situations just like this.

You did?

You go, Daisy!

Hal you have to admit you do lose those chew toys a lot.

That's not fair.

I've only lost 11.

Oh, wait, wait, it might be 12.

It might be 13.

It might be 15.

I don't know.

Houston.

Houston at your service, ma'am.

Houston, we have a problem.

We need to run a full-scale tracker on Mr. Chewinsky, please.

Roger that, ma'am.

Tracking Mr. Chewinsky.

Found Mr. Chewinsky.

Syncing Mr. Chewinsky's frequency beeps to your phone, ma'am.

Sweet!

Thanks, Houston.

Happy to be of assistance, ma'am.

Now we can follow Mr. Chewinsky's signal on my smartphone and find out where the storm drain leads.

Brilliant.

Three cheers for Daisy.

Hip-hip-- Too soon, Nature Cat.

Too soon, buddy.

Uh, right.

Because of Chewinsky.

(Chuckling) My bad.

(Gasping) Mr. Chewinsky is heading underground that way.

Let's go.

Onward and let's-save-Chewinsky- ward.

(Laughing) Uh-huh.

Ronald!

Ronald, you're rolling down the sidewalk, Ronald.

Take off your headphones, Ronald.

Meh, I tried.

He's turning up there.

That way.

Cheese.

Sorry.

Coming.

♪ (All gasping) Wait.

What?

The storm drain empties here?

And all that nasty water and plastic bags and gross garbage, and all that stuff goes right into the river?

Ew!

Why, this water hasn't even been cleaned up at all.

Got you!

Rudzie's.

It's always Rudzie's.

Take that, trash.

Viva la nature.

Agreed.

But where is Mr. Chewinsky?

I don't see him anywhere.

Don't you worry, Hal.

I guarantee to catch Mr. Chewinsky when he comes out of this drain.

There's absolutely no way I will miss him.

Oh, thank you, Nature Cat.

You always come up with the best plans.

HOUSTON: Stay frosty, ma'am.

Mr. Chewinsky should be there in five, four, three, two, one.

There he is!

Ah-ha!

(Exclaiming) I'm wet.

I'm wet!

Oh, no!

There he goes!

Mr. Chewinsky!

It's me, Hal!

It's our anniversary today!

Don't do this to me!

Oh, no, I missed him.

And I just promised you the opposite.

(Sobbing) I'm so, so, so sorry, Hal.

It's okay, Nature Cat.

Everyone makes mistakes.

I mean, at least he's not in the ocean.

I mean, that would be the worst thing that could happen.

I mean, if he was in the ocean then I would be really worried right now.

Um, Hal?

We've been down this river before, and it actually does lead to the ocean.

Huh?

What?

The ocean?

Wait, you mean like the ocean?

Oh, no!

Wait a minute.

So Chewinsky goes to the ocean, along with all that nasty garbage-y stuff that went down the storm drain with him?

Oh, it's too much for my tiny brain!

Oh, we have to get him back!

(Whimpering) NATURE CAT: I see him.

Come on, gang.

Let's follow that chew toy.

Tally ho!

(Snoring) (Mumbling) ♪ (Cooing) DAISY: Man, oh, man.

(Daisy grunting) Isn't there a faster way to do this?

We'll never catch up to Mr. Chewinsky up here.

(Panting) Nature Cat... hate to break it to you, man, but we got to get in the water.

Water.

Why'd it have to be water?

(Whimpering and sobbing) I'll do it.

For my best friend.

And to make up for my mistake.

Let's go.

Onward and let's get Chewinsky-ward.

Tally ho!

Why are you floating away from me, Mr. Chewinsky?

It's me, Hal.

And it's our anniversary.

Come back here.

Hal, Mr. Chewinsky isn't trying to float away from you.

He's being carried by the river's current.

Oh, a current.

Okay, that makes total sense.

Just one quick question: what is a current?

It's the flow of the water.

Watch what happens when we stop paddling.

See?

Wait a tick.

We're still moving.

What gives?

Yeah, the river's current is carrying us, just like it's carrying Mr. Chewinsky.

Ugh!

Yeah, along with all that other garbage.

Oh, we got to keep paddling.

Chewinsky's getting further away.

Yes, yes.

Paddle.

Paddle.

Paddle.

Uh, guys, have you noticed that things are getting a little bumpy here?

(All exclaiming) Whoa!

The water is moving faster.

Aah!

Mr. Chewinsky just fell down a waterfall.

(Sobbing) Oh, poor Mr. Chewinsky!

Um, I'm sorry, if Mr. Chewinsky went down a waterfall, doesn't that means that... ALL: We're all going down a waterfall!

NATURE CAT: Whee!

(All grunting) Oh!

We made it.

(Gasping) And I see Mr. Chewinsky ahead.

Things are looking up.

Nothing can stop us now.

ALL: Whoa!

(Screaming) I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Phew.

We'll save you, Squeeks.

Ah-ha.

Viva la surf!

Whoo-hoo!

(Laughing) Whoo!

I'm watering-skiing, baby.

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

Is that...?

Ugh, unbelievable.

Ronald!

Wake up.

The river is headed for the ocean.

(Snoring) Buzz off, bug.

Whoa!

I tried.

Oh!

Oh, it's good to be back.

But look, there's the ocean.

We can't let Mr. Chewinsky be out there all alone.

You know he's afraid of jellyfish.

Hey, current, stop.

It's me, Hal.

You stop it right now, current.

I'm sorry, Hal, but nothing can stop the currents.

No!

Mr. Chewinsky?

Mr. Chewinsky?

Look at that.

It's the same garbage.

It's been following us all day.

Grr.

Now I'm a mad mouse.

You're right, Squeeks.

It looks like our storm drain garbage joined up with a lot of other garbage.

And it all ends up here in the ocean.

Oh, that is so much pollution.

You guys, after we rescue Chewinsky, we got to get home, we got to spread the word about garbage and storm drains.

It shall not stand.

Agreed.

But for now, we... we... we... are surrounded on all sides... by water.

Water everywhere!

Nature Cat, it's okay.

We're in a raft.

You're not wet.

Huh?

Huh?

Yes, right.

Thank you.

There's just no side that didn't have water.

(Laughing) I lost my head for a moment.

But I'm not wet, and I'm not going to get wet.

Yes.

We will get Mr. Chewinsky and get back to dry land as quickly as possible.

But where is Mr. Chewinsky?

You don't think the jellyfish got him, do you?

Don't you worry, Hal.

I, Nature Cat, will find Mr. Chewinsky.

I know you will, Nature Cat.

(Laughing) You do?

Sure.

You always keep your promises.

BOTH: Aww.

(Sniffling) That's right, Hal.

Thank you.

I'm coming for you, Mr. Chewinsky.

But, of course, not coming into the water for you.

I will just come towards you without getting wet at all.

Oh, no.

I've lost Mr. Chewinsky's signal.

Houston?

Roger that, ma'am.

No signal on my end as well, ma'am.

I'll keep trying to get it back.

Houston out.

Well, how will we find him?

Hmm.

Well, the river's current and then the ocean's current carried Chewinsky and ourselves to where we are now.

Do you think perhaps we should stop paddling and just go with the flow?

Yeah, that's what Mr. Chewinsky is doing.

Yeah, he rolls like that, you know?

Just goes with the flow.

Very chill guy.

Hey, yeah, and then the current will push us and maybe we'll both end up at the same place.

Well, then let's go with the flow and ride the current, baby.

What was that?

Did anybody see that?

Oh, Nature Cat.

It was just your imagination.

Aah!

Guys, do you see that?

ALL: Huh?

DAISY: See what?

Was it Mr. Chewinsky?

Oh, my gosh.

Look at that.

A sea turtle.

I've always wanted to see one up close.

Oh, yeah.

We met a desert tortoise once.

Oh, how I'd love to meet a sea turtle.

I love turtles.

No, it wasn't the sea turtle I saw.

Which you are beautiful, by the way.

It was something else.

Heh, my eyes must be playing tricks on me.

(Radar beeping) SQUEEKS: What was that?

The sea turtles?

Was that my honu'ea?

That's "sea turtle" in Hawaiian.

This island lesson has been brought to you by Squeeks the mouse.

Are we getting closer to Mr. Chewinsky?

No.

We're near something else.

And it's right below us.

ALL: Huh?

Aah!

Guys, what's going on?

Something is happening, and I don't want to get wet!

I won't get wet.

I won't get wet.

I won't get wet.

What are we on?

What's lifting us out of the water?

Is it a shark?

Is it a whale?

A very wet wave?

A unicorn?

(Alarm blaring) We're on a... submarine?

What?

Ahoy.

It is I, Nature Dog.

Who goes there?

Nature Dog?

Well, how do you like that?

It is I, Nature Cat.

Nature Cat?

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

Where did you come from?

And what are you doing in the middle of the ocean?

And one more thing: where did you get that amazing hat?

I cannot tell you anything, anything at all.

I am on a top secret mission.

What are you doing out here in the middle of the ocean?

If you won't tell us, we won't tell you.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine, fine, fine, fine!

Fine, fine, fine!

BOTH: Fine, fine, fine, fine!

Not fine.

Hi, it's me, Hal.

Look, we're out here looking for my best, best friend and chew toy, Mr. Chewinsky.

He's very kind and very handsome.

He's floating out here all alone in the ocean, and we need to find him.

Oh, no.

I am so sorry, Hal.

Well, I'm even more sorry, Hal, my best friend, because I actually am the one who lost it.

HOUSTON: Houston to Mr. Chewinsky Patrol.

I cannot find Mr. Chewinsky's signal.

Do you copy?

We have trouble, Nature Dog.

The submarine's engine is beyond repair.

Sputnik?

Houston, is that you?

Wait, wait, wait, you-- You two know each other?

Affirmative.

Sputnik is my third cousin on my father's side.

What are you doing at these coordinates, Sputnik?

I'm out here helping Nature Dog check off number 298 on her curiosity list.

Sputnik, that was top secret.

This is weird.

Nature Cat has a curiosity list too.

Squeeks, that was top secret.

And besides I'm sure my list is much more thorough than your list.

For instance, number 73: streams begin at the top of a mountain from melting snow.

Oh, that's nothing.

Number 156: honeybees communicate with each other by dancing.

Number 183...

Number 93 will blow your mind, but I can't show you, because as I said it's top secret.

Chewinsky.

He's in the ocean, guys.

The ocean!

Sorry, Hal.

Actually, my list might help you.

I'm working on number 298: "Can I travel around the world just by using the oceans?"

What?

That is fascinating.

It certainly is, comrade.

Look at this.

We started near Russia in the Pacific Ocean, went up, into the cold Arctic Ocean, and arrived right here in the Atlantic Ocean.

And you didn't even need to go on land?

Not yet.

Ooh, now that is remarkable.

I was hoping we could make it around the world, but our submarine is broken.

Sending a support unit to retrieve the broken submarine now.

Thanks, Houston.

Copy that.

Hey, we can ride with you guys now.

We could let the currents hopefully carry us to the rest of the oceans.

Back in Russia, we call that a win-win, baby.

Sure!

You bet.

Sure, you bet, as well.

What do you think, Nature Cat?

Hmm.

I don't know.

(Whimpering) Well, okay.

For Chewinsky.

Fantastic!

Woo-hoo!

Oh, yeah, for Chewinsky.

Oh, yeah.

On-- Onward and yonward.

Hey, that's my thing.
