Okay, Bedtime, we're filming.

Please don't miss capturing a thing.

This is historic. An ancient Whiffle planting ritual!

Everything they do has special meaning!

Grow tree grow! Fast and high! Grow tree grow! Reach the sky!

The ritual shows their respect for the young tree,

thereby helping it to grow.

Huh?

That's gotta be part of the ritual too.

Bedtime'll love it.

Hey, guys! Be sure to get a shot of the-

Whaa! Oof!

Oh no!

Grumpy! Are you okay?

Yeah, sure, oh, but I better check on that

Mushroomy-Thingie I tripped over.

Hey, little, um, whatever you are, you okay?

Heh, I'm sorry for tripping-

Whoa, Grumpster, ya might wanna try that apology again.

Yeah, only this time make it, uh, less funny?

But I wasn't trying to be funny.

Please, please come out! Please!

No! No, no, no! It can't be! No!

Uh?

Bedtime, what's going on?

According to my research, the laughter of that plant-creature

is a sign it's upset.

What?

Ah! Very upset. I must look into this further!

Grumpy! Until then,

maybe you could try apologizing to it again?

Hmm. Very bad. Mushroomie-thingie really mad.

Whoa. It seems they're all upset with you now.

I don't get it. I didn't mean to do it!

And I tried to apologize!

I have a feeling that Grumpy's accident may have caused

a bigger problem than we realize.

My research indicated that this particular group of Whiffles

performed curious planting rituals but,

I must admit, I didn't see this coming.

What is rit-tru-al?

Good question, Dibble.

A ritual is a kind of ceremony where you do things

in a special order, like you've always done them before.

An order that's important to you.

Oh! Like when Dibble eat a tweat and den bwush teeth!

BEDTIME: Aha! Found it!

The Mushroomy-thingie is a rare plant.

Its roots are extremely important to the environment.

They spread out far and wide,

and secure the soil during heavy rains.

The Whiffles treat them with great respect and dignity.

Stepping on one, accidentally or not,

is a gigantic no-no in the Whiffle's world.

Oh, no!

Mission Team, you must find a way to get

the Mushroomy-thingie to come out.

Both for the good of the garden and to restore the Whiffles'

friendship with the Care Bears!

Hmm. Bear with me, Bears, I'll be right back.

I wonder what Share's gonna do.

What she does best: use her intuition,

feel out the situation.

Oh! You understand us.

Yes. I can see you're worried.

Hmm.

Guys! I know how to fix this!

All Grumpy has to do is apologize again!

Just differently.

Really?

The way these Whiffles apologize

is different than the way we do.

They showed me how they do

a special ritual that goes like this:

Hoot, hoot! Ahooga! Yodel-ay-dee-doo!

Uh.

Now you try.

You've got to be kidding me.

Grumpy?

Hoot, hoot! Ahooga!

Yodel-dee-del-die-dle-dooie-doo!

CARE BEARS: Huh. Hmm. Uh.

Ah, it's 'yodel-ay-dee-doo' dude. C'mon.

How can anyone apologize in a way that is so, um, silly?

Because, what may seem silly to us

may not be silly to someone else.

Wise words, bro.

Maybe it'll help if you focus less on what you're feeling

and more on what the Whiffles

and the Mushroomy-Thingie-guy are feeling.

Hey, I understand you're embarrassed.

But they're really upset.

An apology is about what's going on in their hearts. Not yours.

You're right.

Hoot, hoot, hoot! Hoot, hoot!

Ahooga!

Yodel-ay-dee-doo!

Your apology is accepted.

The Whiffle way! The Whiffle way!

Grumpy will be the new Head Gardener. Ruler of Whiffles.

Huh? What? Me?

The Whiffle way! The Whiffle way! The Whiffle way!

Huh? What? Oh.

But do they want me as the Head Gardener? It doesn't make sense!

Not to us, perhaps, but it does to them.

You see, after you apologized so perfectly,

the Head Gardener was duty-bound to give you his job

whether he wanted to or not.

It's their tradition: the Whiffle way.

Great. Now what?

Unless you want to seriously offend them,

prepare to be trained for a ceremony.

What ceremony?

Receiving the Golden Rake,

and becoming their new Head Gardener.

Uh.

Mud and leaves are such bliss.

Heads-up Team, get me out of this!

How can we get him out of this?

If Grumpy refuses this honor, it would be worse than stepping

on a whole field of Mushroomy-Thingies!

Yodel-ay-dee-doo!

Yodel-ay-dee-doo!

Uh! Oof!

Uh-oh! I mean, accidents happen, right?

No big deal, right?

Hey, I'm really sorry.

Let me help you up.

Thank you.

Share is right.

Apologies are about what's going on in their hearts.

Wait! Listen, I just wanted to say

I apologized to you 'cause I...

really didn't want you to feel bad.

But when I apologized to the Mushroomy-thingie-guy,

it was, uh, it was more about me.

'Cause I didn't know why he was laughing.

You have a good heart. You will be a good gardener.

I'm proud of you for going through with this, Grumpy.

Gwumpy be king o' Whiffles? Not stay with us any more?

Don't worry, kiddo, it's all gonna work out.

I hope.

Yodel-ay-dee-doo!

Thank you.

And now, I shall perform my official first act

as your new Head Gardener.

I'm truly sorry Mushroomy-Thingie.

I realize now that someone might be hurt on the inside

even though it doesn't look that way on the outside.

I'm also sorry to say that I regret

not wanting to be your new Head Gardener.

I still have so much work to do with my fellow Care Bears

to keep the Silver Lining safe for all.

But the most important reason is you deserve

a better Head Gardener than I could ever be.

So, using my authority as your new Head Gardener,

I'm giving the job back to your old Head Gardener.

Oh!

Hoot, hoot! Ahooga! Yodel-ay-dee-doo!

CARE BEARS and WHIFFLES: Hoot, hoot! Ahooga!

Yodel-ay-dee-doo!

Hoot, hoot! Ahooga! Yodel-ay-dee-doo!

Hey, Bedtime, we were wondering which book is your favorite?

I like different books depending on my mood.

This one if I feel like an adventure story.

This is the one I look at when I need to know about Care-A-Lot.

And when I'm feeling hungry.

A book on time?

Time for lunch.
