-Oops! Sorry, Nai Nai.

-It's okay, Peng.

It's the one time of year I should be nice to you.

-Another reason I love New Year's!

-Gong Xi Fa Cai!

-Hong bao na lai.

-Uh-uh-uh!

You know I can't give you

the red envelope until tomorrow,

New Year's Day.

-And youknow that I will happily accept money

in an envelope of anycolor on anyday.

Is there money in the firecracker?

-No, just cracker.

For tonight, to scare Nian away.

-Sweet! Xie xie,Nai Nai.

-Uh, save room in your stomach for New Year's Eve dinner!

-Always have room for yourdelicious food!

Fried chicken, tasty pickins'.

Juicy oranges.

Orange you glad it's the new year?

Long life noodles? Gotta live long.

Hawthorn berry candy. Good for digestion.

Steamed red bean rice cake.

Steamy tummy, happy beans.

-Happy New Year! -Aah! Ah.

Happy New Year, Peng.

-It's my favorite time of year!

No school for two weeks. Tonsof yummy food.

Not to mention hanging with my BFFs

and getting cold, hard, crispy cash in red envelopes.

-Cold, hard, crispy cash to blow

on hot, tender, crispy pork. Am I right?

-Yeah?

I've planned out our annual

"Roam the streets and eat everything

we can extravaganza!"

I wrote down all the shops we should hit

and mapped out our route to maximize efficiency.

-Sorry, Peng, I just can't this year.

I have to practice for my festival performance.

-But the shops will be closed for a week!

And you'll miss the New Year's specials

that we can only hoard today.

-I know, but this is my first time

performing at the festival, just like my dad did at my age.

And I'm gonna play the same songhe played too.

This has to go perfectly.

I have to make him proud.

-I get it. Make your dad proud, Yi.

-Thanks, Peng.

-Oh, hey, you want me to get anything for you from the shops?

Since you'll miss my food tour.

-Can you bring back ourfavorite treat?

-Red bean rice cake? You got it!

-My man! -Happy New Year!

-I have selected youto be my honorary eating buddy

at the "Let's eat everything we see

on the streets extravaganza!"

Truth? Yi couldn't make it

because of her New Year's Eve performance.

-Aw, I wish I could go with you.

Even if I was your second choice.

-Nai Nai said no too.

-Well, I, too, have to perform at the festival.

You are looking at the 88th Street

youth dragon dancer number six,

midsection, belly leader.

-Whoa! I thought I was the belly leader.

-I have been waiting for a spot on the dragon team for years,

and the time has finally come!

I even came up with a brilliant

and elevated "sidestep slide."

It was like an a-ha moment.

-That looks great. -Right?

I can't wait to show it off during the performance.

The midsection will never be the same!

-Good luck!

Wish you could come with me, but dragon midsection respect!

-Dragon midsection respect!

I'm flying solo for my epic

"Eat all day and all night extravaganza!"

-There are 16 shops and--

I know. It would be fun if you could go with me, but you can't.

I promise I'll bring back all the treats you want.

I know you were walking around when Todd the Toad was here.

Miss that guy. But you were a human lady!

Miss her too.

I'll admit, you do make a very pretty Yeti lady.

But I don't think it's a good idea.

-Sorry, bud.

However, there are dragons and lions

dancing on the streets right now.

I don't see why we can't have a New Year's Yeti!

But Yi and Jin would never go for it.

However, Yi and Jin are not here.

So technically, I am in charge.

And in-charge people do make decisions.

And I decide...

Everest, it's New Year's Eve,

a time for fun, so let's go have some fun.

But we have to make sure that Yi and Jin don't find out.

-Cabbage!

-Nine orders down. -Sixty-seven more to go!

-What? We're supposed to have

everything done by 2:00 when we close.

Oh, my goodness! Do we even have

enough time to finish all those orders?

But we have to. We really need the money

since we'll be closed for a week!

And we have to end the year on a positive note,

so next year, we can start on a positive note.

-But I-- -We can do it.

Mei, I hate to say this, but

chill, gurl, chill.

You are a very strong and resilient woman.

You can do it. I believe in you.

-Huh?

-Gong Xi Fa Cai.

-Happy New Year, Ma.

-Oh, my gosh! Are you okay?

Were you-- Were you hugging?

-No! -Yes.

-Uh, yeah-- I was wiping soy sauce off her shirt

with my jog-suit jacket!

-Oh. You got me worried for a second.

-Do you need some help? -No way!

I mean, we have it all under control.

I'm a strong and resilient woman.

-And I fired you.

Don't you have to focus on your performance?

-Actually, um, I was wondering

if I could play you part of the song I was going to perform.

To make sure it's as good as Baba when he played at the festival.

-He was only 17, just like you now.

Gong Gong and I were so proud of him.

I would love to hear you play.

-It would be our honor.

-So? What do you think?

-That was wonderful.

-Baba would be so, so proud.

-Really?

Thanks. I--Uh, I'm so relieved.

And I actually increased the tempo to make it more festive.

Do you know how Baba played this section? Do you remember?

-Hmm. I don't know.

-Your father didn't play this piece.

-Good one, Nai Nai.

-This isn't my joking face.

Thisis my joking face.

-Are you sure that's not the song? -I am, Mei.

Don't take this personally, but you are tone-deaf.

You should have heard your mother sing karaoke.

The dogs in the neighborhood would howl.

-That's not true!

It was the cats.

-So I've been practicing the wrong piece this whole time?

How can I honor Baba's memory if I play the wrong piece?

This is not good.

-Yi, someone wise recently told me:

chill, gurl, chill.

The one you played is perfect.

It'll make Baba proud. I know it.

-Your mother is right.

It was perfect because it came from you.

-No, I have to play the right piece.

-I'm sorry, Yi,

the only person who would know the song is Baba.

-That's it! I'll just go ask him!

-The temple is kind of far,

not to mention will be pretty crowded because of New Year's.

Are you sure you'll even have time to prepare the new song?

-I'll make time.

NAI NAI: Say hello to your baba for me.

-Now that we have a foolproof plan, let's do this!

Oops, forgot you're supposed to be

a New Year's Yeti. Wait here.

New Year's Yeti!

Okay. Nowlet's go have some fun!

Forgot my notepad.

-Are you ready for the new sidestep slide?

The midsection is gonna be litthis year!

-Jin, you're gonna have to cover for Leon today.

Unfortunately, he's out sick.

-But... Leon's the butt!

The butt's the second most important position of the dragon besides the head!

-You got it!

-Oh-- But what about my sidestep slide?

I only practiced for the midsection.

Okay, this is very unexpected.

How the butt moves dictates the mood

and the swagger of the dragon.

-That is correct!

-This is life or death.

-It is not. Just do your best. No ifs, ands, or--

-Don't... say it. -Butts!

-Just have fun! -Have fun?

How can I have fun with all this pressure from behind?

-Baba...

Uh, sorry I haven't visited in a while.

How are you? Things are pretty good here.

Oh, and Nai Nai says hi.

Speaking of, Mom and Nai Nai

have been pretty busy with the dumpling shop.

And I have been pretty busy myself, actually.

Um, Everest came back and we discovered

that there are more creatures in the city,

and we've been helping them.

We've met all kinds! Like Fèng huáng.

All this time, these stories, they're all true!

There's more magic in this world than I ever knew.

Or maybe you doknow.

I've kind of felt alone since you've been gone,

but--but helping creatures makes me wonder

how much is around us that we don't see.

And that maybe you are still here with me.

That we're not so alone after all.

Which brings me to another piece of news.

I've been asked to perform at the festival.

Just like you did.

And I want it to be perfect,

so I'm--I'm hoping you can tell me which song you played

so I can play the same one!

Okay, uh, maybe you need to hear them.

Just send me a sign if I'm playing the right one.

Like a butterfly, or just a fly, or just like

show up and tell me so I can see you again.

I miss you.

Ah! Xie xie,Baba!

I'm gonna make you so proud.

-Look! -Ah!

-Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no.

-Awesome! A New Year Yeti!

Can I get a selfie with you?

-Oh, yes! Let me get the Yeti "yeti" for you.

-Crank, crank, crank.

Hawthorn berry candy!

Setting our stomachs up for success!

Let's get this party started!

I don't need hands to eat noodles.

Two bowls of noodles. Warms the belly.

Three bowls of noodles. Warmer the belly.

I know I detoured,

but I just couldn't wait to have

my favorite treat, red bean rice cake.

Plus, I promised I'd get Yi some.

I wouldn't wanna forget.

-Perfect! Just in time for fruit.

-Huh?

Hey--Hey! Get back here. That's my violin!

Hey, stop!

Okay. That's a good kid.

Stay.

Drop it. Drop it.

Oh, no! No, no. Ugh, come on!

Argh.

You didn't have to throw it! Rude!

I have to perform in--in--in 45 minutes!

Argh, shoot!

-Beep-boop. Beep, boop-boop.

Uh, oh-ooh!

Signature move! Shake. Shake. Shake. Shake.

Uhhh, no. Uh, uhhh.

-All those moves are butt appropriate!

Don't think, just shake and have fun!

-How do I not think?

-Ah. I'm so full, I can't think.

Next stop: fried chicken!

And then we can wrap it up with sesame balls!

-Let's talk strategy.

We eat the skin of the chicken because that's the best part!

And only the lotus paste inside the sesame ball

because that'sthe best part.

Thanks, Everest. I definitely am food smart!

I'd say we should stop eating, but that would be irresponsible.

Yes! The hawthorn berry candy is working!

Two fried chickens. One for you. One for me.

You want me to peel the skin for you?

That's what my mom does for me.

E...verest?

Everest? Everest!

Ugh, I can't! I'll be in so much trouble!

Everest!

Uh, happy New Year! Free chicken!

-Everest! Can I get some of your fur for my violin?

I--I broke all of my strings.

Everest?

You sleep, Everest.

I'll string my violin with regular strings for the performance.

Good job, buddy!

Those are super realistic snores!

-Peng?

Am I hearing things?

Do I gotta "chill, gurl, chill"?

Uh...

Good job, buuuddy!

Those are super realistic snooores!

-Argh! Peng!

You better have bars!

-Everest!

Mmm. Ugh.

-I have to find them.

PENG: Everest! Where are you?

Everest!

-Eww!

Oh, it's a sesame ball.

A sesame ball with the lotus paste taken out.

The lotus paste is the best part!

Here I come, buddy!

-Yeah! Oh-ho-hoo!

A fun, carefree butt is the perfect butt!

Oh, oh, oh, yeah!

-Jin, why didn't you answer your calls?

-A true dragon butt doesn't have phones,

or pockets for phones.

-Everest and Peng are gone.

-What do you mean?

-I mean, Everest is not on the rooftop

and Peng is not answering his phone!

We have to find them!

-I was finally getting into the groove.

Hey. I'm passing the butt-on to you.

Remember, have fun! #dragonbuttforlife.

-Everest!

Everest!

Everest.

-Everest!

I'm so proud of you, Everest!

You stuck to our plan

and discarded the right parts of each treat!

The student becomes the master.

You're super full? Awesome! Mission accomplished!

But I think it's time to wrap it up before our luck runs out.

Yi's looking for us.

That's right, we better get back to the rooftop fast!

Rainbow sky pancake?

Ow! Hard.

And... a little fishy.

I'm more of a soft and sweet kinda guy.

Jin, what if someone finds out about Everest?

What was Peng thinking?

-Uh, remember, he doesn't do that.

The thinking thing.

-They've got to be around here somewhere.

Peng must've taken him on his eating joyride.

But how could he have even hidden Everest?

-There's no way we'll be able to find them like this.

-Ugh, you're right.

Maybe Fèng huáng can give us eyes in the sky.

-We made it back.

But we are not out of the woods yet.

We cannot let Yi or Jin know what happened.

Now, if they ask you what you did all day, you say...

-That's right!

Aw, you're welcome, buddy.

I had a blasthanging out too.

It was the best day ever? Same!

Aw, you saved me one?

You know, I was full,

but being scared that I lost you got me hungry again.

That went faster than I thought.

OMG! Do you know what just happened?

We just communicated without guessing!

We're getting better at talking!

And also, we know each other so well,

that you knew where to go and I knew how to find you.

JIN: This place is a mess!

-Oh, no! Fèng huáng's nest!

-What happened?

-I, uh, I don't know, but it--it doesn't look good.

Oh... look at this.

-It looks like some kind of scale.

Oh, look!

Everest and Peng are back on the roof!

-I really thought something terrible

might've happened to them.

Peng is never gonna hear the end of it from me.

-Yeah. None of us are.

-Hey! Hey!

-Everest! -Peng!

-No!
