his bed to the other one.

Here, sea monkey!

Come here, don't run away!

We've got a couple of gems here.

Always shutting the window!

Great, the whole circus is here.

It's okay, she's a friend.

Be quiet, guys!

I'm trying to sleep.

Hubba, hubba!

Who's the knockout?

- Pippi, where are you going?

- To catch that ghost once and for all.

Anyone want to come along?

Rock and roll.

I can't believe how brave you are.

I love brave girls.

- How do you like boys?

- Medium rare.

Wait, I think he's in there.

He's right there, looking at us.

He was following us.

The only ghost I see around here

is him.

- That's gonna cost you.

- See? I can see right through him.

Shut up, knucklehead!

You see? It's the ghost!

Uh-oh.

What the heck...?

Take that, right in the face!

Hit the ground!

He's hitting us with

the whole library!

Come on!

Hey, the ghost is that way!

Where are they going?

Mr. Ghost...?

Where are you, Mr. Ghost?

Tonight I'm going to catch you.

The compass.

Wait, Flecky, wait.

Does it hurt?

Well, it might go away

if...

if you give me a...

- Oh, forget it.

- No, tell me.

What do you need?

They say...

that a loving kiss is like rain,

it washes away the pain.

Really?

Science is advancing so fast.

Yeah, I don't know.

If you give me one here...

Yeah, right.

Like I'm your mom or something.

- You were really scared back there.

- Me, scared?

You took off like the Road Runner.

- You squealed like a little girl. Ms. Macky.

- Ms. Macky?

My butt. You're the one

who squealed like a little girl.

Help, open up!

I'm scared!

- Enough scaring people!

- Quiet.

Do you hear that?

Run, run!

There he is!

He's down!

Over there, come on!

I'll catch you, you thieving monkey!

It's Salomon.

Run or he'll catch you.

Where? Where is he?

They're coming! Run!

Over there, let's go!

Come on, hurry up!

Run, quickly!

Come on!

Quickly!

- Where is he?

- He was right here.

He went down here, Miss Pam.

- I'm sure of it.

- Come on, we have to catch him.

You're really good at hiding.

Wait, wait.

I can't run anymore. That monkey

can eat me for all I care.

What was that? An orangutan?

No, it was a monkey.

What's a gorilla doing here?

It was a monkey, you boneheads.

Hey, where's Flecky?

I don't know. She's gone.

- We have to find her.

- No, it's too dangerous.

Besides, she's faster

than any of us anyway.

Hey! That's my slingshot!

Come on, let's go!

Why do they want to kill you?

You're not bad, are you?

- There he is!

- Careful, you'll hit the girl!

You almost killed her, you fool!

- Go after him!

- Yes.

Now!

Are you all right, sweetie?

- Did that horrible beast hurt you?

- No, no.

He was protecting me.

And he understands what you say.

Yes, he's very smart.

Too smart.

So he was protecting you, huh?

Well, we can't trust him.

He's been sneaking into the house

and stealing anything he can find.

What if he kidnaps one of you?

I don't know what I would do

without you, my children.

Nothing.

He made it into the woods.

But he dropped this.

- He's trying to get off the island...

- Shut up!

I'll think of something

tomorrow.

Now let's go back inside.

Come on, sweetie.

Finally.

Come to Daddy.

How did this get here?

I'm okay.

Everything's under control.

What's cooking here?

Holy cow!

Wow!

Salomon has quite a shop

going in here.

Unbelievable.

He's expecting a war.

The guy likes to travel.

Nice closet.

Oh, okay.

It's a disguise.

- They're not his clothes, bonehead.

- Whose are they?

Hey!

They're Mom and Dad's.

Look, Dad's briefcase!

And his novel!

You know what this means?

- The dimwits forgot their luggage.

- They would never leave all this here.

Dad took his novel everywhere with him.

Don't make things up.

They abandoned us here like dogs.

After seeing this

you still believe that?

Hey, check this out.

This is crazy!

Hey! That's from Dad's car.

Well? You think they forgot

their license plate?

No, Zap. Miss Pam lied to us.

Mom and Dad didn't abandon us.

They didn't abandon us.

Then... they still love us?

Of course they do!

And we have to find them.

Yeah.

But where could they be?

Well, boys, if that monkey

got them...

chopped up in a ditch somewhere.

Pippi.

Come on, we have to tell you

something.

You know what?

I'm not surprised.

Weird things have been going on

here and they never tell us anything.

Miss Pam is behind our parents

disappearing.

We have to find out

what she's up to.

No, we should try to escape.

Crossing the forest,

there's a town

across the island.

We can go for help.

Yeah, we'll tell the police.

Police aren't cool, but I'm with...

What was your name, Four Eyes?

Flecky.

I'm with Four Eyes.

We should bring the cavalry.

Okay, then.

We leave tonight.

No. Crossing the woods

at night is too risky.

And we need supplies.

We'll leave tomorrow,

but at the crack of dawn.

Dawn has a butt crack?

Let's go!

Quickly!

What a sucker.

He had no clue.

This is cause for celebration.

- Gross!

- What a pig!

- Where are you going?

- Quick, run!

Let's go!

Freeze!

Come on, hurry!

Come on, guys!

Pippi!

Quick, give me your hand!

- Grab me!

- It hurts, I can't stand up!

- Grab my hand!

- Hurry, Pippi! He's coming!

- Pippi, grab my hand!

- No!

You guys run!

- Pippi, please!

- Let's go!

Okay.

- Let's stop.

- Yeah.

Good idea.

No danger. I'm dizzy.

Poor Pippi.

- I blew it.

- Yeah.

Leaving her behind

wasn't very nice.

But at least you tried.

You want to help her?

Then keep walking until you reach

the police station and come back

in a patrol car.

That's what I'm going to do.

Flecky, Flecky.

That's the way back to the mansion.

Then that's not the way to go.

Come on, guys.

We have to save Pippi,

find your parents

and stop that damn asteroid

from hitting the Earth!

Okay, that last part

was a little extra motivation.

But that would be cool, huh?

Come on, let's go.

Hey, cool. This tree is even nicer

than the last one.

- I'd say it's the same tree.

- Let me see.

Confirmed, we came through here

already.

- Tom Thumb is leaving clues.

- What?

Thanks to me, we know

where we are. Lost!

If only we had a compass.

I don't need a compass.

The forest talks to me

and tells me which way to go.

Follow the moon, Four Eyes.

Go home.

Come on, it's getting dark.

Hey, move your butt.

We'll sleep in this clearing, okay?

We're going to sleep here?

In the woods?

- Got any better ideas?

- No.

What's wrong with you?

You keep turning your head

like an owl.

Huh? No, nothing.

I'm fine.

Are you cold?

Here, take my blanket.

Thanks, Zip.

That's nice of you.

Here, take mine. It's warmer.

Are you going to tell me

what's wrong?

I...

- I need to pee.

- That's all the mystery?

Just go over there

and take a leak.

It's just that...

it's dark...

and not cool at all.

Look.

Boys' bathroom, girls' bathroom.

Anyone else need to go?

Okay, go ahead.

Pick a tree.

Do you mind?

I can't with someone watching.
