MK:
Somebody told me once...that if you stand still
in the forest long enough...
you'll see signs of
a hidden struggle.
Raging between
forces of life and decay.
That the survival
of the forest itself
depends on the outcome.
And that the good guys need
all the help they can get.
And that if you
don't believe it,
take a close look.
And if you still don't,
look closer.

Oh! Oh!Mmm-hmm. (HUMMING)
(GROANING)
Ah! Oh, oh, oh!
Whoa! I... (PANTING)
(GROANS)
(CHUCKLES)
(SQUAWKING CONTINUES)
(BOMBA PANTING)
(GASPING)
Oh!

(SCREAMING)
(WAVERING GROANS)
Whoa!
Need a lift?
I don't need your help!
You're running out of
branch there, buddy.
Still don't need
your help. (GASPS)
(SCREAMS)
Whoa! Oh!
(SCREECHING)
(ROARS)
(GRUNTING)
Why aren't you
with your group?
What? I fly
faster alone!
How do you
not get this?
You're not the only one
on this team, you know.
So yell at one of them
for a change.
You hear that?
What am I supposed
to do with this kid?
(GROWLS)
Ah, you're right. (GRUNTING)
You've got
your own problems.
(SCREAMING)
You're a Leafman.
You know how
important today is.
You know what? I'm
thinking maybe I'm just
not cut out for this.
That's the problem.
You are cut out for it.
But I'm tired of
waiting for you
to prove it.
Get a bird and get
back to Moonhaven,
or you're done.
What, you're not
going to help me now?
I just did.
That's cool!
I could probably
just jump from here!
Just follow
that last guy down!
Whoa! Incoming.
(LAUGHING)
Bet they didn't
have bugs like that
in the city.
Yeah. I miss it already.
She talks!
Something on
your mind, kid?
(SIGHS)
What do you say to
a total stranger?
Stranger?
You and I go
back twenty minutes.
Not you... Larry.
I mean the person
I'm visiting.
I'm leaving you
out here with someone
you don't know?
(CHUCKLES) It's okay, Lar.
We weren't always strangers.
Maybe now things
will be different.
WOMAN:
(SINGING)And everyone says
This love will change you
Well, I ask
Does anything ever
stay the same?
No, no, no
It's strange changes
That's not a house,
that's termites
holding hands. No offense.
Don't worry, Lar.
I'll be--
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Call if you need
a quick getaway, kid!
Fine.
(SIGHS)
Hello?
Anyone home?
(FAINT BEEPING)
Hello?
(DOOR CLOSING)
Okay. No, actually,
you know what?
I should check this bee.
No, that's (CHUCKLES)
right there. Uh...
Do we have-- I had it
we-- Oh, no, it's over here.
Okay. Yeah.
Uh, let's see.
Uh...
Made of--
Oh, gosh!
I don't know,
polished acorn shell
and thin leather?
Perhaps mouse hide.
Pardon me,
excuse me, sorry.
Correction:
not mouse hide.
Shrew, perhaps.
Or, you know what,
actually, it could be vole.
Hi, Dad.
Oh!
Mary Katherine!
Yeah.
You're here! Mmm!
Yeah.
I didn't realize
today was today.
It always is.
Hey, let me
look at you! Oh...
You look just
like your mother.
Like she did.
(STAMMERING)
You would, if you
know what I mean...
Dad.
Do you want to talk
about it, if that's--
Thanks,
but I've been reading up
on the five stages of grief.
I'm working
through them myself.
I'm good like that.
(SIGHS)
There actually
are a few things
I would like
to talk about.
(DOG BARKS)
Oh, oh, oh! Ozzy!
Look who's back!
Ozzy? (GASPS)
He's still alive?
Well, you know,
most of him.
He may be down to
three legs, but he'll
make a break for it...
the first chance
he gets. (LAUGHS)
Ozzy, go say hi.
(BARKING)
Here, boy!
BOMBA:
Ah, there he goes.
His depth perception's
a little off...
and he has
a tendency to
run in circles.
Hey, but that was closer
than usual, you know?
(LAUGHS)
He remembers you!
(GLASS SHATTERING)
(OZZY BARKING)
So, I have
a little surprise
for you up here.
Just follow me,
take a look.
Ozzy! No. No kisses.
Well, here we are.
Welcome home.
It's like
I never left.
All your things are here,
you got your dolls and...
your pictures,
your turtle.
Oh, dear.
(STAMMERS) Well,
it's good to have you
back, Mary Katherine.
Actually,
I go by MK now.
Oh! MK.
I like that.
It's more grown-up.
(DEVICE BEEPING)
Oh! Um... Hmm.
Do you have
to get that?
Oh, no. No. That was just
one of my sensors.
I got a lot
going on right now.
Today is actually
a highly unusual day.
There is both
a full moon tonight
and the summer solstice...
which only coincide
every hundred years or so.
You can imagine,
it's just crazy
over here.
Hey! Uh...
You probably want
some time to settle in.
I'm just going to let you
make yourself at home,
Mary Kather--
Oh! No, who's
Mary Katherine?
MK, I mean.
(FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING STAIRS)
(SIGHS)
Okay, Mom, I'm trying.
That was the deal.
(WHIMPERS)
Oh, my.
(GASPS)
(ALL GASPING)
Oh!
Come on, Mom,
you're going to
miss them.
Hey, Leafmen!
Huh? What?
Queen Tara,
we need to discuss
today's ceremony.
The Boggans have
crossed our border again.
You're not getting
enough sunshine.
Yes, it's Ronin.
Well, I think he looks
silly kneeling, too,
but I can't get him
to stop doing it.
I think the Boggans
are scouting our defenses.
You know they'd do
anything to stop you
from choosing an heir.
But don't worry,
I've got a plan.
When we were kids
he wasn't so serious.
Would you like
to hear my plan?
And he had
the sweetest smile.
Look, instead of
a public ceremony,
I go in with
a small platoon...
pretend we're
stopping for a drink.
We grab a pod,
bring it back to you.
It blooms, the life of
the forest continues.
We're in, we're out.
(LAUGHING)
It doesn't work
that way.
I can't choose
unless I'm there.
It's about the feeling.
I get it
from the pods...
I get it
from the forest...
I get it
from all of us.
There we are.
Don't you have
feelings, Ronin?
Yes, I feel this is
a bad idea.
The Boggans have never
been this aggressive.
I'm not completely
helpless, you know.
I am aware.
But you're
the life of the forest.
Looking after you
is my duty.
Is that the only
reason you do it?
Isn't that
reason enough?
If that's the only
reason there is.
Your Majesty.
Yes?
I'm not ticklish.
(LAUGHS) Oh!
You used to be! (SIGHS)
Very well.
I understand
your concern...
but this is the one day
in a hundred years
I can choose an heir.
If I don't
do this today...
there won't be
a future to protect.
(PANTING)
(CHUCKLES)
I don't think I saw
a salute, Boggan! (LAUGHS)
(GRUMBLES)
(LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
(GROWLS)
(YELPS)
We had a little
skirmish with some
Leafmen this morning.
A rat got caught
in the crossfire...
so I got a new coat.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
It's, uh, just like yours!
Did you find the location
of their ceremony?
Uh...
Yes, sir!
It's way outside
of our borders.
You mean their borders?
The Leafmen think they can
keep us contained...
surround our
beautiful island of rot...
