[man] Max and Ruby.
[woman] Ruby
and her little brother, Max.
[children] Max and Ruby!
[children giggling]
[Max reading]
Come on, Max, we're almost
at the skating rink.
[kids laughing]
Hockey!
You can't play
hockey yet, Max.
First, you have
to learn how to skate.
Louise and I are going
to practice our figure-skating
and you're going to practice
not falling down.
It's Max's first
time on skates.
Ruby, look at her.
[Ruby] A figure eight.
Louise, that's what we're
going to practice today.
Right, Ruby.
Hockey!
[all laughing]
[Louise and Ruby]
Roger scores!
Hockey!
Wait, Max, you can't
play hockey yet.
You have to learn
to skate first.
And the only way
to learn is to practice,
practice, practice.
Uh-huh.
You see, Max, you can't
skate without your skates.
How's that?
Tight enough?
Don't forget your helmet.
Hockey!
No, Max, let's try
skating, first.
Whoa-oh!
I think he needs
some lessons.
Don't worry, Max.
I've got something to help
you learn to skate.
This is how I learned.
You just hold on to the chair
and push yourself forward.
Try skating to the other side
of the rink and back.
That's a good way
to start.
[kids laughing]
Here goes.
My first try
at a figure eight.
Good try, Louise.
I can turn to the left,
but not to the right.
Well, you're
half way there.
Let me try.
I'm the opposite of you.
I can turn right,
but not left.
So we can each do half.
Together we can make
a figure eight.
But separately we're just
two big zeroes.
[both giggling]
Let's try it again.
You go first, this time.
Oh, no, Max.
Come on, Max, you
can't play hockey yet.
The other boys are bigger
and faster and they might
bump into you.
[kids laughing]
See what I mean?
You practice skating here,
Max, away from the game.
Louise and I are going
to practice our figure eights.
I almost did
a figure eight.
Watch!
See? You just have
to get a good start
and know when to turn
the other way.
You try it, Ruby.
Okay, here goes.
[gasps]
Freeze, Max.
[kids laughing]
Did you see that, Max?
Those boys could have
knocked you down.
Hockey!
If you really want to play
hockey, you have to learn
to skate, first.
Right, Roger?
Uh-huh.
See, Max?
You have to keep
practicing just like
Louise and I are doing.
There, Max, you start
skating all the way back.
That should give me
enough time to practice
a couple of figure eights.
Hi, Max!
Come on, hon!
Okay, Ruby, let's see
a whole figure eight.
This time, I'll
do it for sure.
Max!
Don't worry, Max,
I'll get you.
Uh-oh!
[kids laughing]
[gasps]
[gasps]
Here I come, Max.
Are you all right, Max?
Nice figure eight.
Ruby, you did it.
You made a perfect
figure eight.
I did?
Did I really make
a figure eight?
Uh-huh.
[Ruby] Max scores!
Hockey!
[Max reading]
This is going
to be so exciting.
I can't wait to see Louise's
face when we shout "surprise!"
Now?
No, Max, not now.
When she walks
into the diner
and sees all of her friends
there for a surprise
birthday party.
Now!
No, Max, not yet.
Come on, we can't be late.
This will be the best surprise
birthday party ever.
[door bells jangle]
Ta-da!
This is the cake grandma
and I made for Louise's
surprise party.
I don't want anyone
to touch it until she
gets here.
It's grandma's special recipe
for chocolate cake with
raspberry fluff icing.
It was my idea to add
the butter cream roses.
Now?
No, Max, not yet.
We have to get everything ready
for the party and wait until
Louise gets here.
Then we can have the cake.
Hi, Ruby, hi, Max.
Hi, Katie.
Everything in the kitchen
is all set for
the surprise party.
Great. Thanks, Katie.
I'll just go finish making
the fruit punch, okay, hon?
Okay.
Let's see
if I remembered everything.
There are place cards
and streamers and this.
This will look beautiful
hanging from the ceiling,
Don't you think, Max?
Max!
Now?
No, Max, not now.
You have to wait
until Louise gets here.
I told Louise to meet me
here for an emergency
bunny scout meeting,
but really we're having
a surprise party for her
birthday.
All the guests
are coming early
so we'll be able to surprise
Louise when she walks in.
Then we'll have the cake.
Do you understand, Max?
Good.
Now why don't you help me
put up the decorations.
Here, you take this end
of the streamer
and go to the other side
of the room.
Okay, Max, I'll tape
this end of the streamer
on this wall
and then I'll tape yours up
on the other wall.
Ready, Max?
Max?
Max, the streamer is supposed
to go in a straight line,
not all over the diner.
Now?
No, Max, not now.
Come on down, Max.
I'll ask bunny scout leader
to help with the decorations.
Let's find something else
for you to do.
I've got it. Max,
you can be our lookout.
Come on.
You stay here
and watch for Louise.
When you see her coming,
run in and tell us.
That'll give us time to hide
so we can surprise her
and then we can
have the cake.
Okay, Max?
That's it, Max.
[gasps]
These sandwiches look
yummy, Katie.
Now!
Louise is here now?
But but she's early.
The guests
aren't here yet.
We've got to hide, hon,
or it won't be a surprise.
You're right, Katie.
Hide, Max.
[door bells jangle]
[Ruby and Katie] Surprise!
Oh, Bunny Scout Leader,
it's you.
[laughing]
Yes, Ruby,
and I was surprised.
But I thought the party
was for Louise.
It is.
I asked Max to let us
know when Louise
was coming, not you.
I thought I saw
Max outside the door.
Where did he go?
I think I know.
Now?
No, Max, not now.
Remember, Max, only come
in and tell us when you see
Louise coming, all right?
Now!
Now?
Quick, we have to hide.
[door bells jangle]
[all] Surprise!
[laughs]
I think you're early.
Louise isn't here yet.
Max.
I'm going to explain it
to you one more time.
We're all ready for Louise
and we want this to be a big
surprise for her, all right?
So, when you see Louise,
What are you going to say?
Now.
That's right, Max.
That's what you're going
to say when you see Louise.
But only Louise,
nobody else.
Do you understand
what you're going to do?
Now!
You've got it, Max.
But don't say it
until you see Louise,
-[door bells jangle]
-all right?
Now! Now!
No, Max, not until--
[all] Surprise!
[all laughing]
[all] Happy birthday!
[all laughing]
Thanks, everyone.
I was really surprised.
[giggles]
And so were you, Ruby.
I sure was,
thanks to Max.
Max?
Now?
Yes, Max, now.
[Max reading]
[train tooting over radio]
[man on radio] Faster and
faster went the runaway train.
There was only one hero
who could catch it
before it crashed
Super-bunny!
I brought the tent, Ruby.
Now we can practice putting
it up so we can get our bunny
scout camping badge.
Thanks, Valerie.
I'll help you take it
into the yard.
Super-bunny!
[Valerie] Look out!
[Ruby] Whoa!
[girls] Phew!
Max?
What are you doing?
Super-bunny!
[sighs]
You can listen to super-bunny
on the radio inside, Max.
[turns off radio]
Valerie and I have
to concentrate on
putting this tent up.
It isn't easy, you know?
There are instructions
and everything.
Super-bunny!
Thanks, super-Max.
[man on radio] A terrible
monster was on the loose.
Every bunny in town
was in danger.
This was definitely
a job for super-bunny!
Okay, now we're ready
to put the tent together,
right, bunny scout Valerie?
Right, bunny scout Ruby.
All we need
is the instructions.
Right.
Where are the instructions?
I don't know.
[Wind-Up Lobster whirring]
Super-bunny!
Max, you can't play
Super-bunny here.
We're trying to put
this tent up.
It isn't easy and we have
to find the instructions.
I found them.
[gasps] Great.
Max, we're going to start
putting up the tent now.
So, you really need to play
somewhere else, okay, Max?
Super-bunny!
All right, let's
get started.
[Wind-Up Lobster whirring]
[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger!
Red alert! Red alert!
[Wind-Up Lobster whirring]
[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger!
Super-bunny!
[Wind-Up Lobster whirring]
[toy whirring]
[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger!
[Wind-Up Lobster whirring]
Super-bunny!
[Ruby] Now we have to stick
the poles through the holes
in the top of the tent.
[Valerie] It sure is hard
to find the holes under here.
We have to keep trying.
A bunny scout never gives up.
Bunny scout leader is going
to be so proud of us
when she sees how well
we put the tent up.
Right, bunny scout Ruby?
Right, bunny scout Valerie.
[girls straining]
[Wind-Up Lobster whirring]
[Ruby] Oh, no, here comes
Max's lobster again.
[Valerie] What's that
other sound?
[toy whirring]
[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger! Red alert
[Ruby] Max.
[toy] Danger! Danger!
-[toy] Red alert! Danger
-[toys whirring]
[Valerie straining]
[Valerie] Look, Ruby, I found
the hole for my tent pole.
Great, now let's try
to find mine.
[Ruby grunts]
[gasps] I found mine, too.
-[toys whirring]
-[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger!
-[toys whirring]
-[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger!
-[toys whirring]
-[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger!
-[toys whirring]
-[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Super-bunny!
There, that's the last tent
peg on my side.
How are you doing,
bunny scout Valerie?
I'm nearly done,
bunny scout Ruby.
Let's look at our beautiful
bunny scout tent.
Hmm, that isn't how
it looks in the instructions.
Did we miss a step
that said we were
supposed to blow it up?
No, we followed
all the steps.
We put the poles
on the inside
and attached the lines
to the pegs on the outside.
[gasps]
What about this line here?
[Ruby] Hmm,
we did miss a step.
It says here,
"Hold the line at the back
away from the tent until
it's very tight.
Use the mallet to pound
the peg into the ground."
All right,
let's do it.
One, two,
three, pull!
[both straining]
This is harder
than I thought.
Oh, no! Max, don't
come this way.
We worked so hard
to put this tent up.
[toys whirring]
[Wind-Up Lobster whirring]
Valerie, you did it.
Our tent is up.
I didn't do it by myself.
I had help from
Super-bunny!
