Bedtime stories with Netflix Junior. Starbeam, sleeper storm. Your turn, Zoe. Simon says, jump up and down.
Simon says, "Clap your hands." Simon says, "Do jumping jacks." "Clap your hands." Ah, I didn't say Simon says. Ah, you got me, Mom. I sure did. Okay, now that you got all your wiggles out, it's time for you to get some sleep.
You need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow for Carnival Day! That's right. And it's going to take lots of energy to have lots of fun at the carnival. Ready for bedtime check? You know it. Nice and clean from your bath? Check. Teeth brushed? Check. Jammies on? Check, check, check. Okay, into bed you go.
There. Nice and snuggly. I'm snuggly, but I'm not sleepy. I guess I'm too excited about all the fun we're gonna have tomorrow. You know what to do when you need to quiet your mind. Take a moment, take a breath. Now it's time to get some rest. Well, did that help? Maybe a little bit.
Nighty-night, sweetie. Wait, where's Mr. Snuggles? There's no way I can sleep without Mr. Snuggles. Oh dear, let's see. Aha! One stuffed piggy coming up. Softest, snuggliest piggy ever. Good night. Mom, can you put on my sleepy songs before you go? Sure, Zo.
Now, get some sleep. Tomorrow's a big day. Music's nice, but I think rain might be the best sleepy sound ever. Good night, Mr. Snuggles. No way! A thunderstorm? Whoa, check out that storm cloud, Mr. Snuggles. It's coming this way.
Wait a minute. It's not a real storm cloud. It's miserable Marla. Oh, no. She brings miserable weather with her wherever she goes. I'll never get to sleep if she keeps this up. There's only one thing to do. It's time to shine. To the front yard. Marla, would you please stop storming? Everyone needs to get some sleep, but it's impossible with all of your thunder. Hmm.
I'm too miserable to fall asleep. Since it was already raining, I figured I'd just kick it up a notch. Besides, if I can't sleep, why should anyone else? Have you tried deep breathing? It always helps me relax. Take a deep breath. Don't mind if I do. Mark! Not like this!
Man, that felt good. Let's see. What other misery can I whip up? Nilo Nimbus Cloud Storm. If Marla's too miserable to sleep, maybe I can help her get all her wiggles out like my mom helps me. And her storming will turn into snoring. First, I need to think of the happiest, most fun thing ever. Got it.
Hey, Marla! Huh? I've got just the thing to help you be less miserable. The Somerset Carnival! There are games and rides. You'll have so much fun, it'll tire you right out. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold your jetpack, Starbeam. I think you're forgetting something. What's that? I can't stand fun. Trust me, Marla. You'll love it. No one can stay miserable at a carnival, even you. Fine. I'll try it. But just this once. Let's go. It's your lucky night, Marla. We get the carnival all to ourselves.
Ooh, the carousel! Hop on! Round and round and round we go! Woohoo! Giddy up, Horsey! I'm getting dizzy! Was that fun or what? I don't know about that. All this round and round is wearing me out. My plan's working even better than I thought.
I can help Marla have fun and get sleepy. Let's see, snuggling with Mr. Snuggles makes me extra sleepy. A soft stuffy will definitely make Marla too drowsy to drizzle. Follow me, Marla. It's game time.
Everybody loves a good carnival game. And just look at all of those stuffed animals you can win. Why, they're so soft and cute. Yeah, I don't do soft. And I definitely don't do cute. I bet you haven't even tried soft and cute. But tonight's your lucky night, Marla, because guess what? I'm afraid to ask. You're going to win a stuffed animal of your very own. You just have to win it in a carnival game. Oh, yeah.
I know a good game. Whoever cracks the loudest thunder wins. - Marla! - Okay, okay. Sheesh. - Oh, check it out! The carnival ring toss game. All you have to do is toss five rings onto the milk bottles and you win a prize. Watch me, I'll show you. Oops, missed. Oh yeah, nailed it.
Hey, no fair! Knock off the super speedy stuff, Starbeam! Oops, sorry. It's a superhero thing. Now you try. Ugh, fine. Ugh, I missed. It's not working. You can't win if you keep getting so miserable. Just relax. Focus and toss! See? Ah! Ah!
I got two! Three! You're doing it, Marla! And five for the win! You won a stuffy! I did? I've never won anything before! Told ya! It's your lucky night! What'll it be? A giant stuffed banana? A sparkly unicorn? A big cuddly bear? Got any bats? No bats. How about a fuzzy duck?
Here, give it a snuggle. Nice and soft, huh? I guess it's not so bad. Marla, did you just yawn? I don't know what you're talking about. Here's some more rings. Why don't you try for another stuffy? All right.
Marla definitely can't stay miserable for long. She got her wiggles out and now she has a cuddly stuffy. I just need to find a sound to help Marla relax like my bedtime music relaxes me. And she'll be way too tired to storm. Now that's a relaxing sound, but where's it coming from? I'll just fly over the carnival so I can see everything. Oh, the carnival looks so small from way up here. That's it!
The paddle boats in the carnival pond are making the swishy sound. Hey, Marla, let's see if you like what I've got planned next. Well, Marla, what do you think? What are these giant frogs doing here? They're not real frogs, silly. They're paddle boats that look like frogs.
I figured you might like a relaxing trip around the pond after all that carouseling and ring tossing. I do like water. All you have to do is step into the boat, like this. Then you turn the handles that turn the water wheels on and off you go, easy peasy. Try it, Marla, and don't forget your ducky. Fine. But if you start singing any cheery sailing songs, I'm out of here.
Pretty hard to be miserable in a froggy boat with a stuffed ducky, am I right? This reminds me of when I was saving Somerset from Captain Fishbeard. While I waited for him on top of the Ferris wheel, I could see all of the soft, twinkly lights below. And I could hear the soft breeze, and the crickets, and the birds, and I could hear the sound of the waves on the shore. Have you ever noticed those sounds, Marla?
Marla? Shhh. It's raining. Marla, are you sleeping? I can't believe it. I actually got miserable Marla to fall asleep. She got her wiggles out on the rides, snuggled to Stuffy and listened to relaxing sounds. She actually had fun and stopped being so miserable. There definitely won't be any more storms tonight. Sweet dreams, miserable Marla. Bubble beam blast!
I like frogs. Now it's time for this superhero to get some super sleep. Back in my nice snuggly bed. Did you miss me, Mr. Snuggles? Zoe, you still up?
I thought I heard something. Hey, Mom. Turns out miserable Marla was making it storm. I had to help her get to sleep or that thunder would keep me up all night. Way to shine, sweetie. Well, get some sleep. Tomorrow you'll want to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Good night, Zoe. Night, Mom. Good night, Mr. Snuggles.
