[Piper] "Dawn of Wonder Chicken."

Get ready to play the greatest board game of all time.

Ocean Odyssey.

-[CJ] All right. -[Theodore] Cool!

Let's pick game pieces. I wanna be the Pirate Panda.

Yarr!

-Dibs on Sea Captain Squirrel. -I'll be the Undersea Llama.

That means I get to be the Mer-Rooster.

Huh? Where's the Mer-Rooster?

We can't play without all four pieces.

I know.

Someone can use this rock instead of a game piece.

But I really wanted to be the Mer-Rooster.

And I don't wanna play with a plain old rock.

Well, maybe we should play something else.

Hey, maybe there's something in here.

[all] Comic books!

[both] Cool.

-[CJ] Look at this one. -Oh, this one's awesome.

-[CJ] Cool. -She looks so cool.

Ah, I see you kids found my old comic book collection.

I loved these when I was your age.

There was Bat-Cow, and Speedy Sloth,

and my all-time, absolute favorite, Wonder Chicken.

But my Wonder Chicken comic book is missing.

Oh, what a shame. You would've loved Wonder Chicken.

Grandma, what if we write our own Wonder Chicken story?

Well, I think that's a wonderful idea.

I bet our story will be even better than the original.

-[all] Oh, yeah. -Let's do it.

How did it go? [clears throat]

There once was a city called Chicken-opolis,

-and the city was in danger. -[screaming]

-Oh, my! -The city is in danger.

[Grandma] They needed a superhero.

-Piper, you wanna write the next part? -[Piper] Okay.

I am Wonder Chicken, and I'm here to save the day.

[Theodore] But Wonder Chicken didn't work alone.

She had help from her pal, the mayor.

Hey there, Wonder Chicken. I'll help too.

[CJ] And her very trusty friend, Police Chief Cow.

Reporting for duty, Wonder Chicken. What's the situation?

There's a supervillain in town. Look!

-[screams] -Of course.

A supervillain must be causing the danger.

Every superhero story needs a supervillain.

Ooh, I have an idea.

His name was...

Dr. Von Duck.

Watch out, Wonder Chicken!

Watch out for what?

For-- For...

Von Duck has an evil scheme.

He's using, um, potatoes

and-- and roller skates to make evil roller-skating potatoes.

Chicken-opolis...

-[citizens scream] -...beware my roller potatoes.

They'll turn the city into my personal potato skate park!

[cackles]

-Ah! Potatoes. Get them outta here! -[potatoes chuckling]

-[screams] -[blows raspberry]

[screams]

-Wonder Chicken, what do we do? -[potatoes giggling]

Hmm, I'm not sure what to write next.

I don't know how Wonder Chicken can save the town from the roller potatoes.

Well, does Wonder Chicken have a backstory?

What's that?

A backstory is everything from a character's past

that makes them who they are when they enter the story.

Like where's she from? Who are her friends?

How did she become a superhero?

Maybe something from her past can help her save the city.

Okay, I'll write a backstory for Wonder Chicken.

Before Wonder Chicken was a superhero, she had a backstory.

She was an ordinary chicken, and she had two best friends.

Her buddy Quackles who loved board games.

-Quackles, I brought you some snacks. -Thanks, Mom.

[Piper] And her pet, a monster named Rocky who loved belly rubs.

-Who's a good monster? -[chuckling]

[Piper] She used to go to the library a lot, because she loved reading books.

-[windows clatter] -[thunderclap]

One day, she found a book that had been struck by lightning.

It was a book about weather.

Touching its pages gave her the power to cluck like thunder.

[clucks]

On that day, she became...

Wonder Chicken.

[Piper] That's Wonder Chicken's backstory.

And I know how it can help her stop Dr. Von Duck.

I know how to protect these citizens from the roller potatoes.

I'll use my super thunder cluck!

[clucks]

[echoes]

[screams]

[blows raspberry] Ah.

[groans]

[sighs]

Incredible.

Wonder Chicken, you saved us.

Happy to help. Now, where's Dr. Von Duck?

Up here, Blunder Chicken!

While you were busy dealing with my hench-potatoes,

I was finishing my potato clock of doom!

When it finishes counting down, I'll unleash my mega potato!

[cackles]

It's going to help me cover the town with even more ramps.

Wonder Chicken, you've got to do something.

Don't worry. I'm Wonder Chicken.

Getting into evil supervillain laboratories is what I do.

I'm here to stop your evil potato science, Von Duck.

[Von Duck] Silly Wonder Chicken, you'll never get past my laser defense grid.

One more step, and you'll be zapped!

Those lasers are no match for my thunder cluck.

[clucks]

Ha! My laser system is made from pure quack-tanium.

Even your thunder cluck can't stop it.

What's Wonder Chicken gonna do now?

I don't know.

Well, is there something you could add to her backstory that might help?

Oh! I know.

After Wonder Chicken got her superpowers,

she needed a secret disguise to wear while she looked for danger.

So she practiced her computer skills

and became the library's computer assistant.

Your password is "password."

You might wanna pick something that's harder to guess.

-[computer beeps] -Oh, thank you, dear.

I've got past experience. I could use my computer skills to shut down the lasers.

[keypad beeping]

[Von Duck] My lasers. No!

[Von Duck on speaker] Welcome to the darkness, Wonder Chicken.

You can't stop me if you can't even--

Hey! It's supposed to be dark in here.

I know. I used my computer skills to turn on the lights.

[quacks] Well, your computer skills won't help you with my security monster.

[growling]

[clucks]

[Von Duck] Sorry, Wonder Chicken,

but your super cluck is no match for my monster.

-He's wearing headphones. -[gasps]

[Theodore] What now? Wonder Chicken's powers are useless.

-[grunts] -[Piper] Don't forget about her backstory.

This isn't Wonder Chicken's first time dealing with a monster.

You remind me of my pet monster, Rocky. I know how to calm you down.

Belly rubs! Who's a good monster?

-Who's a good monster? You are! -[giggling]

-[yawns, sighs] -That's better.

Now, to stop Dr. Von Duck once and for all!

[digital ticking]

Sorry, Wonder Chicken. It looks like you weren't fast enough.

-My potato clock has reached zero. -[alarm blaring]

-Behold! My mega potato! -[distant thud]

[speaking gibberish]

[screams]

Oh!

[groans]

[gulps]

Well, looks like Dr. Von Duck won.

Uh, I don't know how Wonder Chicken is gonna stop a mega potato.

Are you sure there isn't something else in her backstory

she could use to stop Dr. Von Duck?

Dr. Von Duck? Backstory?

Yeah!

It's over, Von Duck.

Or should I say "Quackles"?

[clucks]

[echoes]

[gasps] My real name. How'd you know?

Don't you recognize me?

We used to play together.

So, it's you.

No matter. My days of playing games are over.

-Bring on the tater-skaters. -[growls]

[potatoes speaking gibberish]

Hey...

I know this place.

This isn't an evil laboratory. It's your mom's house.

And I bet if your mom knew what you were up to...

Wait! No, no, no!

[clucks]

[echoing]

What in the--

Oh, Quackles. Are you doing an evil scheme again?

-[potatoes yelp] -Mom, I--

I specifically told you no evil schemes.

-You're grounded. -Ah, man!

[whistling]

And you, Mr. Giant Potato.

No rampaging through the city. You're grounded too.

Ah, man!

You did it, Wonder Chicken.

You saved Chicken-opolis.

All in a day's work, my friends.

[CJ] That was awesome!

-Whoo-hoo! A wonderful story. -I love that story.

I guess it was a pretty good story.

Great story. Oh, Wonder Chicken was even better than I remember.

That's because you helped me write a great backstory, Grandma.

And that gives me an idea.

Hey, Duckston. The rock from the game has a backstory too.

The rock is a space traveler from Jupiter.

It jumped on to a meteor and crashed on Earth.

And it's even more amazing than the Mer-Rooster.

That's pretty cool. Dibs on the space rock.

What about me? I want a space rock too.

Hang on. I have enough rocks for all of us.

My rock has a backstory. It's from a volcano.

Mine is a magic gem.

And this rock is a champion roller skater.

That's awesome.

Yeah, I love it.

Great idea, Theodore.

[Piper] "The Chicken Who Cried Wolf."

Story time in five, four, three, two--

All right, Slothessori scholars. It's story time.

-[all cheering] -[both] Story time.

-Whoo-hoo! -I wanna hear it.

Oh, I love stories.

Hmm. Where is--

-[Theodore] Oh! -Theodore?

The pain. Owie. Ah, ah.

I skinned my knee, and it hurts really bad.

Oh. [whimpers] Oh!

-[CJ] Oh, no. -Theodore, are you okay?

-Are you all right? -See?

[all gasp]

Hold up. Are those seeds?

And I smell... [sniffs] ...strawberry?

Theodore, is that strawberry jam?

Oh, uh-- [chuckles] Yeah, would you look at that.

Actually, I didn't hurt my knee.

But, uh-- But-- [stammers] But I, uh, scraped my elbow. [groans]

Your elbow looks okay to me.

Yeah, me too.

Hmm. That's because what I meant to say is... [stammers]

...I stubbed my toe.

Owie!

I don't believe you.

-Yeah, me neither. -Yeah, not really.

You know, I think this might be the perfect story for us to read.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

"Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy.

His job was to watch over his flock of sheep."

[bleats]

Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all...

[sighs] ...all afternoon.

Look at all those people.

Oh, I know.

Wolf! Help! There's a big old wolf trying to take my sheep.

-A wolf? -[shepherd] Come quick!

-[gasps] -We've got to help him.

-Wolf! -[villager] Come on, everybody.

-Here we come. -[chattering]

Come on. Let's go.

Oh. Where is he? Where's the wolf who's trying to take your sheep?

Oh, you just missed him. But...

Wait. There's no wolf? We're out of here.

Come on, everybody.

-No wolf? What was the point? -[all grumbling]

Wait a minute.

Mrs. Slothworth, there's no wolf in this story?

-But it has "wolf" in the title. -Yeah, I was expecting a wolf.

Me too. What's up with that?

Well, the story's not over yet. Let's see what happens.

"The next day, the boy was watching over his sheep when..."

[sheep bleats]

[sighs]

Hmm.

Wolf! Help! There's a wolf!

Come on, everybody.

-[villager] Come on! -Here we go. Ha!

Where? Where? Where's the wolf?

There's no wolf, but...

Again? Would you quit doing that?

False alarm. Come on, everybody.

-[townsfolk groan] -Wait, wait, wait. I just wanted to--

-[sighs] -Wait.

The boy cried wolf again? Even though there wasn't a wolf?

Why does he keep doing that?

It depends on what the boy's motivation is.

Motivation is the reason a character in a story decides to do something,

and every character has a motivation.

Oh! I'll find out why the boy keeps crying wolf,

then we'll know what his motivation is.

Hey, chicken.

Hi. I'm Piper, and I'm here to find out what your motivation is.

Why do you keep crying "wolf" when there's no wolf around?

Oh, well... [sighs] ...I just wanted people to hear me sing.

-The sheep listen. -[bleats]

But they don't seem to care.

I wish I had a bigger audience that really paid attention.

Oh, that's your motivation. You want an audience!

-I'll listen to you sing. -You will? Awesome!

♪ A-singing Strumming all day long ♪

♪ But nobody's here Appreciating my song ♪

♪ I got the blues The hilltop blues ♪

♪ Telling all of ewes I got the hilltop blues ♪

-Whoo! Yeah! -Thank you. Thank you.

[Piper] The boy was happy that the little red chicken was there to hear him sing.

The end.

-Hang on a second. -Wait a minute.

I'm sorry, but there's gotta be a wolf in this story.

Yeah. So the Big Bad Wolf came along and...

-[sheep bleats] -[gasps]

All right, come on. Right this way.

My sheep!

-Wolf! Wolf! -Wolf! Wolf!

[both] Wolf! Wolf!

[Piper] There's a wolf!

[scoffs] That boy's crying wolf again. I don't believe him.

-[groans] I hear ya. -[townsfolk grumble]

Oh, no! No one believes you because you cried wolf too many times.

-[sheep bleats] -Okay, in you go.

-[gasps] -[engine starts]

No, my sheep!

I can't believe I lost my sheep. I was supposed to protect them.

Don't worry. I'll help you get your sheep back.

We just have to figure out why the wolf took them.

So the boy and the little red chicken went to see

if they could find out the wolf's motivation.

-[both gasp] -[laughs]

This story's interesting.

-Yes. -Yeah!

The wolf is headed for the village. Come on!

Hmm. What could the wolf's motivation be?

Hey, that's a cool karaoke machine.

[both] The wolf!

[groans] We just missed him.

Why does the wolf want a karaoke machine?

Maybe it has to do with his motivation. Let's find out.

[Piper] The little red chicken and the boy went to look for more clues.

-[sheep bleating] -My sheep!

I'd recognize their baas anywhere.

[bleating continues]

-[Piper] There's the wolf! -[shepherd] And my sheep.

[engine starts]

It looks like he just bought a bunch of sleeping bags.

Why does the wolf want sleeping bags?

Let's keep looking for clues.

[sheep bleating]

Whew.

-[van door closes] -[engine starts]

Excuse me. Have you seen a wolf pass by?

With a bunch of sheep. White, fluffy, say "baa"?

You just missed him.

The wolf just picked up his order. A bouncy house, a piñata and party hats.

[bell rings]

Whoa!

[shepherd] Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh, thank you.

Mr. Wolf would not be happy if his birthday cake got ruined.

[both] Mr. Wolf?

A birthday cake? I think I know the wolf's motivation for taking the sheep.

But I have to ask him to know for sure.

Could we help you deliver this cake to the wolf?

Sure, hop in.

[bell rings]

[wolf howling]

Yeah. All right, who wants to sing next?

[bleating]

Come on. Anybody?

[bell rings]

[howls] My cake!

Wow, thanks. Look, everybody, the cake's here.

[sheep bleating]

Those are my sheep. Why did you take my sheep?

Yeah, what's your motivation?

Oh, well, I took the sheep because I didn't wanna be alone on my birthday.

So, I decided to have a sheep-over party.

Hey, you wanna stay for the party?

-Yeah! -Sure.

Great. The more, the merrier.

I wish I'd invited the whole village.

Really? In that case...

Wolf! Wolf!

-The wolf is having a birthday party! -And there's cake!

Well, that got my attention. I sure hope you're telling the truth.

Thanks for getting everyone to come to my party.

[bleats]

[gasps] For me? Wow.

This is the best birthday ever. [howls]

I'll say.

Looks like the whole village showed up.

Which means now's your big chance to sing for everyone.

[gasps] You're right. Thanks, Piper.

Hey, everyone.

I know that I cried wolf to get you to come up the hill,

but the truth is, I just wanted you all to hear me sing.

[rock and roll music playing]

♪ Oh, clouds in the sky Grass under my feet ♪

♪ I was up on that hill Every day of the week ♪

[Piper] Whoo-hoo!

-[crowd cheering] -Whoo-hoo!

-[bleats] -[Piper] The end.

What a great story.

I never knew what the boy's motivation was, or the wolf's.

-That was cool. -Yeah. Amazing!

-I liked it. -So cool.

Um, Mrs. Slothworth?

Yes, Theodore?

Sorry I made up that stuff about being hurt before.

But do you wanna know my motivation?

-Yeah. Tell us, Theodore. -What was it?

I was hurting. Not here or here, but in here.

I've been feeling kind of sad today, and I don't know why.

And I just needed some extra attention.

I see. Would you like a hug?

[learners] Aw.

[sighs] Thanks.

-You're welcome. -Of course.

[Duckston] We love you, buddy.
