Stella. The Pluto was due
back an hour ago.
Where are you? Why aren't you here?
Oh, hey, Loaf. Oh, relax.
Everything's under control
- [Kira growls]
- Ow! [clears throat]
[Captain Garbage chuckles]
Hey, sorry. But, um
Is that peanut butter
on both of your eyebrows?
Is everything okay?
Wait, are you not Stella?
Have you been body-snatched?
I could not be better. Loaf, uh
[clears throat]
Could you tell the Council
that I'll be a tiny bit late? My um
My performance review is
Is this afternoon, I know.
Terrifying to be scrutinized.
What if they find out you secretly
always hated being in outer space?
What? You've always hate
No, Loaf, I'm not worried about that, I
- Ow!
- Of course not, because you're you.
You always know how to

- Oh.
You got little stowaways?
Aw, that one looks like Chonies,
and that one looks like Ed.
Wait, wait, wait, what's going on?
Is that the crew?

24 HOURS (168 DOG HOURS) EARLIER
I've got a really good feeling
about this planet.
You said that every time
we've landed on a planet.
Yeah, for months.
More times than I can count.
What? No way.
I think this might be the one.
I think this might be the one.
I think this might be the one.
I think this might be the one.
I think this might be the one!
Okay. [sighs]
I know the last few planets
haven't exactly met
the Council's very high standards,
but this time
[water running]
Water's bugs.
- [whines]
- Out of here.
What's wrong with drinking bugs?
What, do you need a lemon in it?
I did it on my planet,
so why can't humans?
Kira, humans aren't the problem.
In fact in fact,
I think we can revive our wilting morale
by doing what humans would do.
Colonize this place
and say that we discovered it?
[chuckles] No.
We are taking a day off!
- You're joking.
- Uh, do I sound like I'm joking?
Yeah, pretty much always.
My performance review's tomorrow.
Tomorrow's tomorrow.
That leaves us plenty of time to relax.
Huh.
Can I speak with you for a minute?
Garbage, uh, the review is my chance
to make the Council see
that I'm Captain material. I need to prep.
You've got this, Stella.
If anything, you're too prepared.
Too prepared? Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no.
No, no! In a good way! But look at us.
- [snores]
- [snores, gasps, sighs]
Right. If it's okay,
I'm just going to stay on the
Of course! In fact, it's an order.
No fun for you.
Come on, guys.
[squeaks]
What? I'm thirsty.
Top three qualities
for an exceptional captain:
strategy, insight, focus
Oh, no, no, it's insight,
grace under pressure, strategy, insight
Ugh, come on, Stella,
you're better than this!
[grunts]
Oh, hi, Council-member Duchess.
Okay, step one, approach confidently
No! You're not doing it right.
Make sure thumb is extended, fingers out.
[grunting]
No, follow the rules! Follow protocol!
Listen to the Council,
stop dropping your blaster!
Protocol for first encounter
with an alien species.
Try to de-escalate the situation?
Yes!
- [alarm blaring]
- [grunts]
Okay, team, let's head back to
Huh? Computer, locate the crew.
All crew on board. Location, laundry room.
The laundry room?
Oh, no, what did they do?
Garbage? Nomi? Chonies?
Are you in here?
[Nomi coos]
[Kira sighs]
[coos]
[snores]
What?
Aw. Aw.
What am I doing?
[sighs]
[barks]
- [all] Stella!
- [barks]
[clamoring]
[Captain Garbage] Catch me, catch me!
Stella, look at me!
[growls]
[exclaims] Pew, pew, pew!
I'm gonna get you! [shouts]
I'm gonna get you! Pew, pew!
- [laughs]
- [Nomi giggles]
- [growls]
- What happened?
- [all giggle]
- I'll tell you! I'll tell you!
One at a time. One at a time!
Okay, so I was the leader.
We're all walking around in the market
eating all the yummy free stuff.
You mean like samples?
Yeah, samples. [giggles]
All of the samples.
We pretended we had money
and wanted to buy things,
but we didn't. [giggles]
Stella! Can you scratch my nose, please?
No, me! My nose is the Captain's nose,
so it's gotta be scratched.
I You know, I'm not gonna
Ugh, you know what, just finish the story.
[Nomi] So, so, at the bug water
planet's market, Garbage
[Ed] When he was still a grown-up.
[Nomi] Yeah, he was still a big boy.
I am the Captain!
[Nomi] Yeah, so, so,
he put a snack in his mouth,
except it was not a snack.
But he didn't chew it.
- [spits]
- [cries]
It tasted like shoe, but alive.
[Ed] And And then everyone
at the market was so mad at us.
[Nomi] And everyone made faces like,
"Argh, we are mad at you guys!"
Which was us.
Okay, so you were escaping
an angry mob because,
Garbage, you almost ate a baby by mistake?
It tasted like an alive wallet.
Anyway, then we were all so scared,
except for Captain Me!
True. Captain Garbage was
Was very, very brave.
He bravely said.
[clears throat]
"Let's run away from them right now!"
[all scream]
[Ed] Then, we ran into a weird alien guy.
[Captain Garbage]
I saw the weird alien guy first.
He looked sneaky, so I said
"Can you help to hide us?"
And he said
- "Sure, want to turn into babies?"
- So, I said
"Okay.
Make us babies so we can have a disguise."
[Chonies] And so,
we skipped away from the mob.
Captain Garbage saved the day!
That's right. I did.
[Nomi] Then we did cartwheels
all the way back to the Pluto.
- I'm gonna be sick.
- It's okay, Stella.
Yeah, Chonies was already sick
- over there in the corner.
- Twice!
Okay, it's fine. I can fix this.
All we need to do is
[all giggle]
[groans]
- [playing walla]
- [giggling]
[Captain Garbage] Look at me, look at me!
[giggles]
- [electricity crackles]
- [giggles]
Oh, for the love of Nomi.
Nomi, Nomi, no touching the turbo button.
We're not even in space!
- [munches]
- Ugh.
- [phone ringing]
- [giggles]
Stella?
The Pluto was due back an hour ago.
Where are you? Why aren't you here?
- Oh, hey, Loaf. Oh, relax.
- [giggles]
Everything's under control Ow!
[Kira growls, howls]
- [giggling]
- Pew, pew!
[Loaf] Wait, wait, wait, what's going on?
Is that the crew?
[swoons]
- Loaf? Loaf?
- [Loaf groans]
Loaf, get up!
Hi, Loafy. I have peanut butter that
I made in my mouth from chewing peanuts.
See? Aah.
Stella, listen, just
get back to the M-Bark!
Oh, and tell the Council what?
"Sorry I'm late, my crew turned
into puptots on my watch.
How'd you feel about making me a Captain?
Huh? Never? I agree!"
But what if
you can use the
genetic enhancement machine
to make them grown-ups again
before you meet with the Council.
[inhales] Uh Oh, that might work,
- but my pilot and my Captain are
- Arf, arf, arf.
- [Nomi] I'm gonna barf! Barf, barf, barf!
- Dizzy.
Oh, songs about barf make me
[gags] nauseous.
I gotta go. You got this.
[gags, vomits]
[laughter]
Go, Garbage! Woo! Garbage!
Woo!
[sighs] Okay. Confidence, Stella.
You can still make it back in time.
[Captain Garbage giggles] That tickles.
[Ed] Hi-yah!
[giggles] Your turn.
[screams rhythmically]
- [Captain Garbage] Whoa! Yeah!
- [Stella screams]
[alarm blaring]
[laughs]
[howls]
- Pew, pew, pew, pew!
- [giggles]
[powers down]
[screams]
- [sighs happily] Mine.
- Go faster, fast!
[giggles]
Nomi, I can still get
to my very important meeting.
I just need you to hold this control
in this exact position. Can you do that?
[Kira shouts, grunts]
Shortcut! Yeah!
Yay! Woo-hoo-hoo!
- Nomi! Ugh. Let me drive now.
- No! I want to!
[gasps] Look!
Nomi, you did a great job,
but now it's Stella's turn.
[snores]
[roars]
[roars]
[all] Yeah!
- Whoa!
- [squeaks]
[cheering, laughing]
Battle stations!
Nope!
I want to go out.
- Stella, as Captain, I command you to
- [gasps]
No, please sit still.
I'm trying to keep you safe.
- From that!
- [Captain Garbage] No, stop. Stop!
- [cheering, laughing]
- Woo-hoo!
[sighs] Sit tight, puptots.
Time to teach these baddies some manners.
[puppies giggle]
[yelps, gasps]
[alien roaring]
Okay, protocol for first encounter
with an alien species
- is to de-escalate potential conflict.
- [alien shrieking]
Hey, friends.
It's clear that smashing and harvesting
ships for parts is your whole thing,
but I'm just wondering
if you could just, um [screams]
Whew! Okay, if you want
to play it that way, fine!
[aliens shrieking]
[shrieking]
[strained] I've got an important meeting
and you're making me very late!
[grunts]
[shrieking]
Whoa! [grunts]
[puppies chanting]
Stella and the vultures!
- [gasps]
- Stella and the vultures!
Stella and the vultures!
[phone ringing]
[Loaf] Stella,
Duchess came looking for you.
She's asking why you're not here
for your review.
I didn't want to lie, so I played dead.
Loaf, this is not a good time!
I have an engine to save,
puppies to protect,
and very resourceful
space vultures trying to kill me.
[Loaf] Wow! Space vultures! Oh, no.
My lungs hurt.
Hold on, I'm grabbing my inhaler.
[inhales]
- [cheers, barks]
- [Ed] Yeah!
Why did I ever want to become a Captain?
I'm not cut out for this! I couldn't even
run a daycare, let alone a
That's it! Daycare!
- [laugh, howl]
- Okay, puppies of the Pluto!
This is our ship and no one
is gonna rip it to pieces.
- Are you ready to save the day?
- Woo-hoo!
- [Ed] Yeah.
- With your big boy Captain.
I am the Captain!
Yay! Woo-hoo!
Yeah, you are! Nomi,
- you get to fly the big space plane.
- Pew, pew, pew!
Chonies, fill the remaining engine
with fire!
Ed, stay out of trouble.
No, no, no, no, wait. Hide from trouble.
I'm the sneakiest boy.
That's right, buddy.
And, Kira, watch out for baddies.
[howls]
[shrieks]
[grunts, groaning]
[sighs]
I'm great at this!
Woo-hoo!
Nomi, make the spaceship go zoom!
- [puppies cheering]
- Woo-hoo-hoo!
Okay, puppies, who wants
to help Stella get back in time
for her performance review?
I I mean, Nomi,
you want to hit the turbo button now?
[giggles]
[screams]
- Loafy, I'm so excited to see you!
- [puppies] Yeah! Woo-hoo!
Stella, how could something
so cute be so upsetting?
[puppies cheering, giggling]
- I hope this works.
- [laughing]
That wasn't a joke.
I know. I'm laughing
because I missed my review,
[snorts] I wrecked the ship
and probably also my career.
- [continues laughing]
- Oh. Ha-ha?
[cheering]
[Duchess clears throat]
[yelps]
- Stella.
- [gasps]
You missed your review.
- I know. I'm sorry.
- [Loaf clears throat]
Uh, Duchess. It's not her fault. She was
- Be quiet, Loaf.
- [yelps, swoons]
Come along, Stella.
We'll do the review now.
Oh, uh, okay, sure.
[gasps] I got thumbs now?
Puppies?
Yes, I'm sorry, Duchess.
I should have stayed with my crew.
I wanted so hard to ace
this performance review.
I did my best
and I tried to do the right thing, but
- I agree.
- Huh?
You did and I'm impressed.
You've shown that
one team member's tenacity
can inspire an entire crew too,
well, grow up.
You're a credit to the M-Bark.
Captaincy isn't far away for you.
[sighs] Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you. I, um
A REAL DOGS DINER
- Yes! Stella!
- Yeah. Woo-hoo!
- There she is.
- Woo! Yay, Stella!
- We're rooting for you.
- Yeah!
[laughs]
You guys, I didn't tell you
how it went yet.
You didn't have to.
We saw you in action the whole time.
You were amazing.
Wait, so, you remember everything?
- Oh, yeah.
- All of it.
Yeah. Sorry about all the mess
we made on the ship,
including the mess
you probably haven't discovered yet.
But we made you this.
Aw, thanks, you guys.
It's adorable that you made this
when you were puppies.
Yeah, that's right. When we were puppies.
All hail future Captain Stella!
- [cheering]
- [all chanting] Stella, Stella, Stella!
[Ed] You go, girl!
