Esme: "Simon's Sleepover."

( yawns )

Esme: Time for beddy‐bye, Dumpling.

( squeaks )

‐ ( squeaks ) ‐ Here's your blankie

and your favorite pillow

and a picture of your two favorite monster‐sitters.

Ooh, ooh! Who are they?

( giggles ) Roy, it's us.

Aww. Nighty‐night, Dumpling.

( yawns )

( monster‐case playing music )

( gasps ) We've got a monster to watch.

( giggles )

We're watching Simon.

Yippee! Let's go!

Actually, Simon's coming here

for a sleepover.

Yippee! Let's stay!

( giggles ) Hmm.

What would make this the best monster‐sitter sleepover ever?

Esme and Roy: ( gasps ) I know! Indoor campout!

( giggles )

( both giggle )

( both giggle )

‐ ( Dumpling squeaks ) ‐ Ta‐da!

( both giggle )

( squeaks )

Wow. It feels like we're really outside.

Wait‐‐ Are we really outside?

( giggles ) Nope.

( doorbell rings )

‐ Simon's here! ‐ ( Roy giggles )

‐ Esme, Roy! ‐ ( Grammy chuckles )

Hi, Simon.

Welcome to our indoor campout.

Wow.

Oh ho! What fun!

Want us to show you around the camp site, Simon?

Yeah. Let's go check it out.

That's OK. No, thank you.

What's the matter, Simon?

Simon's excited for a sleepover,

but he's also a tiny bit nervous.

I've never been to a sleepover before.

Well, you know what, Simon?

We'll take great care of you.

‐ ( Roy giggles ) ‐ ( Simon giggles )

And we're gonna have so much fun, OK?

OK. Bye, Grammy. I'll see you tomorrow.

Well, now, you have a great time, my little Sim‐y.

I just love ya.

Goodbye, monster‐sitters.

Goodbye.

( blowing kisses )

‐ Esme: Bye. ‐ Roy: See you later.

So, Simon, what do you want to do first?

Play in the tent? Have a pretend boat ride?

We have s'mores.

How about we do... everything?

( Esme and Roy giggle )

‐ ( Simon giggles ) ‐ Whoa!

( Simon giggles )

( squeaks )

( Esme and Simon giggle )

Mmm.

Huh?

( all giggling )

Well, it's getting late.

( yawns ) Time for bed.

( yawns )

You said it.

Simon? Don't you want to get into your sleeping bag?

No, thank you.

Why not?

It's just...

This sleeping bag doesn't look like my bed,

and this room doesn't look like my room.

And I miss my Grammy.

You're feeling a little sad, huh?

How about this?

Why don't you get into your sleeping bag,

And then, when you're all snug and cozy,

maybe you'll feel better.

I guess I could try that.

There. How does that feel?

Good. Comfy.

I'm glad.

All righty. Sleepy‐time.

Esme: Good night, Simon.

Simon: Good night, Esme. Good night, Roy.

Roy: Good night, Simon.

( Dumpling squeaks )

All: Good night, Dumpling.

Simon? What's wrong?

I can't sleep.

I miss my home... and my room...

and my Grammy.

Sometimes, when I'm sad,

I like to cuddle up with my friend,

Fuzzy McRoarington.

He's very fuzzy.

Wanna try cuddling with him?

Um, OK.

( yawns ) Thanks, Esme.

You're welcome.

( yawns ) It's sleepy time...

again.

Esme: Good night, Simon.

Simon: Good night, Esme.

Good night, Roy.

Roy: Good night, Simon.

( Dumpling squeaks )

All: Good night, Dumpling.

I still can't sleep.

( squeaks )

Thanks, Esme,

but I usually sleep next to my dog Willy,

and Fuzzy McRoarington is not Willy.

( sighs ) I miss my dog

and my room and my Grammy.

Hmm. I know!

Maybe we can make bedtime here

feel more like bedtime at your house.

Ooh. Good idea,

but how do we do that?

Well, what do you do before bedtime

at your house, Simon?

Hmm. First, Grammy always gives me a big, six‐armed hug.

A big hug? We can do that.

‐ ( Esme laughing ) ‐ ( Dumpling squeaking )

One, two, three, four.

That's only four arms, not six like Grammy.

Thanks for trying, but... it's just not the same.

OK, uh, well,

what else do you do before bed?

After Grammy gives me a hug,

she always reads me the same book‐‐

"The Little Swoozle That Could."

Ooh. That sounds like a good one.

Do you have it?

No, but maybe we can make up our own version.

Hmm...

Once upon a time,

there was a little Swoozle who could...

He could do... so many things.

What kinds of things?

Well, he could stand on his head for five days.

( grunts )

Swoozles can't do that.

OK, well, get this.

The little Swoozle could use his six arms

to do a bunch of things all at the same time...

like play tennis... and try on hats...

and cook monsteroni and cheese. Mmm.

And... too much?

Thanks, Roy, but that story's different

than the one I have at home.

( sighs )

I miss my home.

Is there anything else you do before bed?

Hmm. There's one more thing.

My dog Willy always gives me

a big slobbery kiss good night.

Hmm. Willy's not here...

( squeaks )

( gasps ) ...but Dumpling is.

( kisses )

Thanks for trying, guys, but I really miss my room

and my bed and my dog and my Grammy.

( crying ) I, I‐‐

I just wanna go home.

( crying )

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown.

‐ Simon, I‐‐ ‐ ( blows nose )

( sniffs )

I know you're feeling sad, but I think this might help.

It's a glitter jar. Shake it.

♪ And feel your body calming down ♪

( inhales and exhales )

Do you feel any better?

Mm‐hmm, but I'd still like to go home.

Psst. What do you we, Roy? Simon's still really sad.

I know. I wish we could bring everything

from Simon's house here to make him feel better.

( gasps ) Uh‐oh‐‐ the tree.

( gasps ) Wait a monster‐minute.

That's it!

What's it? What did I say? What did I say?!

Maybe we can bring things from Simon's house here.

( indistinct whispering )

Simon, I know you're still sad,

and if you really wanna go home,

Grammy can pick you up,

but would you mind trying one more thing?

Like what?

How would you like to make... a me tree?

A me tree? What's that?

It's a tree all about me.

I mean, not me‐‐ you.

But it's called a "me tree," not a "you tree"

because that doesn't sound right.

Roy, let's just tell Simon how it works.

Good idea.

( whistles )

Wow.

( giggles )

First, you draw pictures of all the things

you miss back at home.

Then we'll hang your drawings

from the branches of the big tree.

That way, whenever you miss your home,

you can look up at your me tree,

and you'll feel better.

So what do you think, Simon?

I think...

I wanna make a me tree.

Then get ready.

It's playtime.

♪ A me tree is a tree for you ♪

♪ With all your favorite things ♪

♪ And once you draw your pictures ♪

I love my me tree!

Thanks, Esme and Roy.

I feel better now,

and you know what else?

What's that, Simon?

( yawns )

I'm ready for bed.

( sighs ) Good night, me tree.

Esme: Good night, Simon.

Simon: Good night, Esme.

Good night, Roy.

Roy: Good night, Simon.

( Dumpling squeaks )

All: Good night, Dumpling.

Esme, what are you doing?

I'm just checking to see if Simon's asleep.

( chuckles ) He's asleep, all right.

Making a me tree really helped Simon feel less homesick,

didn't it, Roy?

‐ Roy? ‐ ( Roy snoring )

( giggles softly ) Don't you just love monsters?

Esme: "Take a Hike."

Clear skies, sunny weather...

This is the perfect day for quackle watching.

Good thinking with these disguises, Roy.

Thanks, but I think mine could use a trim.

( giggles )

Esme: ( gasps ) Look! There's a quackle monster

by the picnic table.

Where? I don't see anything.

Ow!

( quacking )

Huh? Esme, you must be seeing things.

There's no quackle monster here.

‐ ( giggles ) Roy. ( gasps ) ‐ ( music playing )

We've got a monster to watch.

Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?!

( giggles ) We're watching Snuggs at the park.

( monster‐box whirring )

( honking )

‐ Let's go! ‐ Hooray!

Esme, Roy!

( Esme and Roy giggle )

‐ Esme and Roy: Snuggs! ‐ ( Snuggs giggles )

Don't you just love monsters?

Hi, monster‐sitters.

Thanks for meeting us at the park.

I thought it might be fun

for my little Snuggs

to go on a nature walk.

I've never been on one before.

Nature walks are fun, right,

not scary?

Nature walks are tons of fun, Snuggs.

You're gonna love it.

Oh, good. I love when I love things.

I'll be back after my yoga class.

I'm working on my tree pose.

Whoa! ( giggles )

See? ( giggles )

Bye, Snuggs. Have fun.

‐ Esme: Bye. ‐ Roy: See you later.

Bye, Mommy.

OK, Snuggs. Ready to go?

Um, I think so.

Great. Then you'll need a pair of binoculars.

( gasps ) Thank you.

I love them.

( sighs affectionately )

Um, Snuggs?

You hold them up to your eyes

like this. See?

( gasps ) I do see.

I see Roy.

‐ ( grunting ) ‐ Snuggs: Roy...

what are you doing?

Oh, just looking at this map.

I think it goes this way.

Or does it go this way?

Ah. It goes like this.

Hey.

( Esme and Snuggs giggle )

Here, Roy. Let me help.

Let's see. Looks like we can follow this red trail.

Let's do this!

Whoo‐hoo!

Nature, here we come.

‐ All right! ‐ Let's go!

‐ ( frogs croaking ) ‐ ( Snuggs gasps )

What's that?

Look, Snuggs. It's just a frog.

See?

‐ ( ribbits ) ‐ Oh. A frog.

( sighs )

( gasps ) What's that?

Aww, look. It's a cute little squirrel.

Oh. Just a squirrel.

Phew.

Come on.

Um, maybe we should stay here for a little while...

where there aren't any surprises.

Psst. Esme, I think Snuggs is kind of scared.

How can we get him to have fun on our walk?

Hmm. Maybe he'll relax

if we play a game.

Good idea. Well, where can we find a board game around here?

Not that kind of game.

A nature game.

Hey, Snuggs.

Wanna play I Spy with my Monster Eye?

Oh, yeah!

We'll describe something we see,

and you can guess what it is.

It'll be fun.

Oh, good.

It's fun when things are fun.

( giggles )

Great.

I spy with my monster eye...

a heart.

Hmm.

( gasps ) I see it!

Right there on the tree trunk!

Whoo‐hoo!

( giggles ) Yep.

‐ You found it. ‐ Nice.

This tree bark's a little scratchy,

but still huggable. Mmm.

My turn.

I spy with my monster eye...

something made of wood.

( grunts )

( chuckles ) Is it this log?

Good guess, but I was thinking

of something else made of wood.

Hmm... Is it that bridge?

Yeah, you got it.

Whoo‐hoo.

‐ All right! ‐ Yes!

‐ Snuggs: Let's go! ‐ ( Roy giggles )

Esme, can I try giving a clue?

Of course, Snuggs.

Go for it.

I spy with my monster eye...

something fluffy.

( chirping )

That fluffy bird?

Nope. It's not an animal.

Try again.

( gasps ) Those fluffy flowers?

‐ You got it! ‐ Good one, Snuggs.

Those are called "dandelions."

Wow. ( gasps )

I've got another clue.

I spy with my monster eye...

a giant rock that looks like Roy.

Oh, yeah. Over there.

Hmm. Got to admit...

that's a good‐looking rock.

( Esme and Snuggs giggle )

Esme: OK, my turn.

I spy with my monster eye...

something...

‐ ( chirping ) ‐ Aah!

Roy: ( voice shaking ) Aah!

What was that?

Look, Snuggs.

It was just that tiny bird over there.

( chirping )

Oh...

Just a bird.

There's nothing to be scared of.

We're right here with you, OK?

OK.

Which way next, Roy?

Oh, um, we just have to take this black smear

to the brown smudge, and that'll lead us to,

uh, more brown.

Roy, that's not a trail.

That's mud.

Oh. That explains a lot.

I don't think we can

use this map anymore.

It's too muddy.

No map?!

But how will we get back?

It's OK, Snuggs.

We'll just have to go back the way we came.

Uh, which way was that exactly?

This way...

I think.

♪ We may not have a map, and we may not know the way ♪

♪ But we'll try every path, and we'll make it home OK ♪

Snuggs: OK.

♪ So there's no need to panic ♪

♪ And there's no need to worry ♪

♪ If you just stick with us ♪

♪ We'll get home in a hurry ♪

♪ So come on‐‐ follow me ♪

♪ I am sure that you'll agree ♪

♪ This hike can be carefree and light‐hearted ♪

♪ Do you see what I see? ♪

♪ Maybe it's just me ♪

♪ But it looks like we are right back where we started ♪

Hey. We were just here.

Huh. You're right.

♪ Well, let's go, come this way ♪

♪ Everything will be OK ♪

♪ We'll make sure that this day is loads of fun ♪

♪ Just one thing‐‐ we're back where we begun ♪

Huh. You're right.

We're back at the same mud puddle.

If I didn't know better, I'd think we were‐‐

Lost! We're lost!

( grunts )

( whimpers ) We'll never get back.

We'll be stuck out here forever.

‐ Roy: Whoa. ‐ ( Snuggs crying )

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown.

( Snuggs crying )

Snuggs, I know you're scared,

but I promise we'll find our way back.

you can say‐‐

We will find our way back.

That's the spirit. Now let's get going...

right after I take

one more look at this handsome rock.

Ahh.

Hey. That's the Roy rock from our game.

Our game?

Wait a monster‐minute.

That's it!

Did you hear that, Roy rock?

That means Esme's got a great idea.

We can play I Spy to find our way back.

We'll just follow all the things we saw in our game.

Hey. That is a great idea.

Told ya.

We will find our way back.

( giggles ) Come on.

( gasps ) The dandelions.

( giggles )

Ha ha!

( Esme and Roy giggle )

The bridge. ( gasps )

( frogs croaking )

( giggles )

Snuggs: The heart.

Yay!

( giggles )

Oh, Snuggs.

I spy with my monster eye

someone who's excited to see you.

Hi, Snuggs.

( gasps ) Mommy.

( giggles )

Did you have a nice nature walk?

Uh‐huh. I saw frogs

and dandelions

and a rock that looks like Roy.

( chuckles ) I'm so glad you had a good time, Snuggs.

Snuggs?

( sighs ) I love nature.

( giggling )

Save room for me.

( all giggle )

Roy: Good thinking back there, Esme.

Using I Spy to find our way home worked like a charm.

Hey, wanna play another round?

Monster‐sitter style?

( giggles ) You're on.

I spy with my monster eye...

something orange and fuzzy.

Easy. The monster‐case.

( giggles ) Yep.

I spy with my monster eye

the best monster‐sitter ever.

‐ You. Jinx. ‐ You. Jinx.
