[ship approaching]

[Kai cheers] Whoo-hoo!

-[barking] -You said it, Ember.

-This shuttle flies like a dream. -[holoprojector beeps]

Hi, Master Zia. Thanks for letting us borrow your shuttle.

Bell and I are almost at the town now.

Fantastic, Kai.

The townfolk there need help with something.

You'll find out more when you get there.

Great. I've actually met Mayor Brooks before.

He can seem grumpy at first,

but once you get to know him, he's quite friendly.

[chuckles] Excellent.

I knew you two would be perfect for this mission.

[barking]

You too, Ember.

Good luck, and see you when you get back.

You're gonna love it here, Kai.

-The townsfolk are really nice and... -[townspeople clamoring]

[townsperson 1] Let's go!

Those rustlers think they can steal our herd and get away with it.

Well, not without a fight.

-Who's with me? -[townspeople] We are!

-[cheering] -[townsperson 2] Let's go! Whoo-hoo!

[townsperson 3] That's right!

[townsperson 4] Right behind you, Mayor.

Mayor Brooks, hey!

Bell, thank you for coming.

Oh, you brought a little kid with you?

I'm Kai Brightstar, Jedi youngling.

Bell and I are friends.

Oh, any friend of Bell's is a friend of mine.

Uh, but right now we've got a problem to handle.

Are you about to start a fight?

Start one? More like finish it. We need to rescue our herd of nerfs.

A group of mangy rustlers stole them last night.

That's not right. Just tell us where those thieving rustlers are.

We'll take care of them.

Whoa, whoa, Kai.

Remember, a Jedi never rushes in to fight.

Right. Of course.

We should try to talk things out first.

Mayor, why don't you give us a chance to handle this peacefully?

Without fighting.

No fighting? [laughs]

Good luck. Those rustlers are a rough-and-tumble crew.

I don't think talking is gonna make a difference.

No, they deserve what's coming to 'em. Right, everyone?

[townspeople cheer]

-[townsperson 5] Yes, sir! -[townsperson 6] That's right!

People, you have every right to be angry,

but it's best to take some time to calm down.

Please, Mayor Brooks,

give us a little bit of time to find the herd and a peaceful solution.

That way, no one gets hurt.

Ah, fine.

But just a little bit of time,

and only because I like you, Bell Zettifar.

Thank you, my friend.

Uh, but y-you aren't gonna be able to take that big ship.

We got a dust storm coming, would clog your engines in no time.

Do you have landspeeders?

Oh, I've got something much better.

[bellows]

These will get you to the canyons and back.

That's where we think the rustlers took our herd.

I'll give you two till tomorrow morning.

After that, we'll go get the herd back ourselves.

You won't need to.

See you in the morning, Mayor.

-[Ember barks] -[dunnel bays]

I think this is it.

Let's get the herd back without a fight.

Bad news, Jedi.

No one's taking those nerfs without going through us.

-[Ember growling] -They're ours now.

Those creatures still belong to the town.

You may have stolen them, but that doesn't make them yours.

Does too. How else are we supposed to get a herd of our own?

Did you even try to buy some from the town or trade them something?

-[head rustler blows raspberry] -[rustlers laughing]

Trade? With Mayor Brooks?

You got a better chance trying to kiss a rancor.

We took what was ours. End of story.

Now, walk away.

We see you again, you'll have a fight,

and we don't lose fights.

-[Ember barks] -We're not walking away, right?

Not a chance.

But I've got a plan that doesn't involve fighting.

-[bays] -Follow me.

[Ember barks]

[bays]

[nerfs mooing]

Look! There are the rustlers and the stolen nerfs.

[Bell] And droid guards too.

Wasn't expecting that.

I think if we stay behind those rocks, we can sneak past them and free the herd.

Ooh, good idea, Kai.

-Ember, you stay here as a lookout. -[barks]

Okay, Kai.

Just have to get... [grunts]

...past... [grunts]

...the droids. [gasps]

-[droids beeping] -Oops.

[chuckles]

-I thought we weren't going to fight. -We're gonna defend ourselves.

-It's an important difference. -Whoa. [grunts]

[Bell, Kai grunting]

[rustlers snoring]

Hmm?

[snoring]

[groans]

[grunts, shouts]

[barking]

-Ember! -[Ember growls]

[growling continues]

[powering down]

[Ember barks]

[beeps]

[powering down]

[chuckles] Always count on a charhound to know when to make an entrance.

[sighs] The rustlers didn't hear us.

Now, let's go rescue those nerfs.

[nerfs mooing]

Okay, nerfs. You're free. Come on.

[mooing continues]

[Ember barks]

Now let's get these nerfs back to town.

[birds twittering]

[nerfs mooing]

There's the town!

We're gonna make it just in time.

Whoo-hoo!

Great work, Kai. Those rustlers didn't even know we were there.

[vehicles approaching]

[Ember barks]

[nerfs bellow]

I've got to give you credit.

You have to be brave to rustle nerfs from other rustlers.

[laughs]

Now give us back our herd or else.

We already told you.

This herd belongs to the town.

And I already told you to leave them alone.

They're ours now.

They need to be returned to their real owners.

We are their real owners.

We worked hard to finally get back what was promised to us.

What do you mean promised to you?

Who promised?

Generations ago, our people left the town and set out on our own.

We were promised part of the herd, but we never got it.

They kept it all for themselves.

So we've had to beg and scavenge to survive.

The town should give you what they promised,

but it's also wrong to steal.

We can help you talk to the mayor.

Will you promise to return these stolen nerfs first?

Fine. If you'll help me get my own herd, I guess we could return these.

What in the wasteland are you doing with our herd?

You're gonna steal from us

then come back here and rub our faces in it?

That's asking for a fight.

[townspeople clamoring]

[townsperson 1] Let's get 'em.

Well, the Jedi made some good points, and we wanted to say...

I don't want to hear anything you have to say, thief.

[townspeople clamoring]

Hold on. This doesn't have to be a fight.

We can talk things out. There is another way.

Absolutely not.

There's nothing to talk out.

They stole our herd.

If it's a fight they want, it's a fight they'll get.

-[townspeople cheer] -Who's with me?

[townspeople clamoring]

[townsperson 2] Let's fight!

[shouting, grunting]

Stop! You're scaring the herd!

[grunts]

[nerfs bellowing]

No. Our herd!

-After 'em! -[dunnel bays]

Let's go, Kai!

We can help them!

[nerfs mooing]

Come on! Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

[groans] Help us, Bell and Kai!

We can't get them to turn around!

We'll do what we can. Hyah!

[barks]

[nerfs mooing]

I don't think it's working!

[head rustler] Yeehaw!

Let's go, guys! Speed up!

Whoo!

Hyah!

[nerfs mooing]

You... You could have been run over by the herd,

and you still jumped in to help us?

Ah, couldn't let anything happen to 'em.

Look, we shouldn't have stolen the nerfs.

Wasn't the right way to handle things.

Can you forgive us?

Oh, I guess.

But you can never steal from us again.

We won't.

All we wanted is to get the nerfs our ancestors were promised

when they left town.

Wait just a minute.

The folks who left our town generations ago,

those were your ancestors?

Indeed they were.

Ever since I was a kid,

I've known about them and the herd they're supposed to get,

but I didn't know it was you.

It is.

But you've always been so tough.

We thought you'd fight us if we came and asked.

[Bell] That's why it's important to be nicer to people

when you first meet 'em, Mayor Brooks.

Especially because you're so kind once people get to know you.

Oh, you're right, Bell.

I'm sorry.

I... I shouldn't have lost my temper.

The herd is yours.

[chuckles] All you had to do was ask.

And you shouldn't jump to conclusions about what other people are going to say.

Plus, stealing is bad. Really bad.

Put her there.

[nerf bellows]

You know, these things are kind of cute.

I could give this one a hug.

Yuck!

Or I'll just stay over here.

[all laughing]

-[dunnel bays] -[Lys] Whoo-hoo!

-Whoo! -[dunnel baying]

These dunnels are so fun to ride!

How you doing back there, Myra?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[stammering] Whoa!

[grunts] Ta-da?

[laughing]

-You okay, Myra? -I'm great.

Exploring Tenoo with these dunnels is the best!

Right? I've never seen a creature move so quick through the forest.

So quick! You were like...

[scats]

...all over the place.

-[both chuckling] -[Lys] Yeah.

-[birds chirping] -Thanks for bringing me along, Lys.

Of course.

You love creatures as much as me,

so when Aree brought these dunnels to live at our Jedi temple stables,

I knew we had to ride 'em together.

[sighs] I do love creatures.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

-[snorts, bellows] -Whoa.

Even if I don't have quite as much experience with them as you. [chuckles]

I found that the best way to learn about creatures is to watch their behavior.

They'll let you know if they're happy or sad

or just need a scratch behind the ears. [giggles]

[bellowing]

Ready to see how Kai and Nubs are doing back at the stables?

Absolutely.

-Hyah! -Hyah!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-[dunnel bays] -Whoo-hoo!

-Yeah! -[bays]

And stop. Uh, stop?

Please stop. [grunts]

-Hey, Lys. Hey, Myra. -[speaking Poobian]

How was your ride with the dunnels?

-Terrible. -[speaking Poobian]

Just kidding! It was amazing.

-[bellows] -[laughs]

[speaking Poobian, laughs]

-[bellowing] -[Lys grunts]

-[holoprojector beeps] -Hey, it's Aree.

Hi, Aree. Hi, Cam.

Myra and I just finished a ride with the dunnels,

and we're getting along great.

-Oh, that is wonderful. -[Cam beeps]

I'm actually calling because someone contacted us

about a very rare creature in your area.

There's no entry on this animal in the Creature Guide.

-Yet. -[dunnel bellows]

I was hoping you and Myra could help.

Help you with the Creature Guide?

Of course, Aree! What kind of creature is it?

It's called a leepur.

Only a few people have ever seen one.

No holos of them exist.

So most people don't even know what they look like.

Then how will we know when we find it?

Well, according to the few that have seen them,

leepurs are small, have a stripe on their backs,

and make noises that kind of sound like singing.

Sounds like they're pretty cute.

[chuckles] So I'm told.

But they don't stay in one place very long.

If we don't find it and snap a holopicture soon,

I-I'm afraid we won't get another chance.

Don't worry, Aree. We're on it.

We'll find the leepur and get you an entry for the Galactic Creature Guide.

Wonderful. And remember,

because we don't know much about it, observe it carefully.

We don't want it to get scared and run away.

-I'd like you to lead this mission, Lys. -[Lys gasps]

I know you're ready.

-Good luck out there. -[Cam beeps]

Aree trusts you to lead the mission. Wow!

I'm so excited!

Nubs and I need to stay here and finish cleaning the stables.

-But I can't wait to see what you find. -[speaking Poobian]

Let's take the dunnels. They move fast and we gotta hurry.

-Right. -[bays]

[Lys laughs]

I can't believe I get to add an entry into the Galactic Creature Guide.

-[squeals] -This is gonna be great!

Come on. Let's find that leepur.

[dunnels baying]

This is where Aree said the leepur was supposed to be.

-Whoa! -Got your holocam ready to take a picture?

-Got it in my bag. -Great.

Let's look and see if we can find...

[gasps] Lys, look.

-[chittering] -A sciuridi!

[chitters]

Ooh! Hello there!

I've only seen a sciuridi in the Creature Guide.

-It looks even furrier in person. -[purring]

-[Lys giggling] Goochy, goochy, goo. -[Myra] Who is a cute sciuridi?

-[chitters, growls] -[Myra] Huh?

Aw.

Why did it run away?

Oh, we were so excited to pet it,

we didn't notice we were making it nervous.

We should have paid more attention to its behavior.

Right. Like my dunnel earlier.

Sorry, little sciuridi!

I wish we could play with all these creatures,

-but we told Aree we'd find that leepur. -[gasps]

-We should go... -[gasps] Lys, look!

I've never seen tracks like these before.

Hmm. Maybe it's the leepur.

Let's follow them and find out.

I hope it's nearby.

Myra, look out!

-[Myra grunts] Whoa! -[dunnels bellowing]

That was close.

Great. No more tracks.

If it was the leepur, now we've no idea where it went.

[creature chirping musically]

Aw, that's a pretty song.

[chirping continues]

And that's a pretty stripe on your back.

[gasps] Wait. Lys!

It's the leepur.

[panting]

[grunts] Hurry! We can't let it get away!

Uh, Myra, this tunnel is really steep.

Is there another way down?

There's no time. We don't want to lose it!

Okay. Let's just be careful.

[grunting]

-There it is! -Myra, wait!

If we move too fast, we might scare it away.

But this could be our only chance to get a holo for the guide.

Mmm. Okay.

[thunder rumbling]

[chirping]

It's getting away!

-Whoa! [grunting] -I've got you.

-[Myra screaming] -[Lys] Whoa!

Whoa.

[both screaming]

Whoa!

[Lys screaming]

[strains, grunts]

Whoa!

[grunts]

[groans]

Great. My holocam is broken.

Myra, how's yours?

So I maybe, sort of definitely, left my backpack and holocam up top.

So not only have we lost the leepur,

but we couldn't get a holo if we wanted to.

[groans]

I'm sorry, Lys.

Sometimes I get so excited that I rush things,

like with the sciuridi.

And now I've scared the leepur away.

[sighs] It's okay.

I was so determined to show Aree I could be a good leader

that I rushed too,

even when I knew I shouldn't.

[gasps]

[thunder rumbling]

-Aw. -[Myra] Oh, no.

Well, with the holocam broken and the storm probably scaring the leepur away,

we may as well head back to the temple.

[grunting]

The walls are too slippery to climb. Let's see if there is another way out.

I found something. It might be a way back to the top.

Follow me.

It's so steep.

-Maybe there is another way... -[leepur chirping]

[gasps] That sounds like...

-[chirping] -[Myra] The leepur!

And it looks stuck.

We've gotta help him! Come on!

Now, remember, let's move nice and slow so we don't scare it.

[chirping]

[grunts]

-[screams] -[grunts] Gotcha! [grunts]

[chirping]

It's gonna fall!

We've got to grab it now!

I'll use the Force.

[Force rumbling]

[grunting]

Myra, wait!

You're scaring it.

[chirping]

Sorry if I scared you, little leepur.

I just want to help.

Would you like a snack?

Very tasty.

[sniffs]

[chirping]

It's okay. We'll catch you.

[chirping]

Gotcha! [sighs]

Nice to meet you, little leepur.

[rock crumbling]

Uh, Lys.

The ledge!

Jump!

[both grunting]

[rock crumbling]

Okay. Now what?

Up there! Sunlight!

Looks like the storm is gone.

-It's got to be a way out. -[chirping]

Hang on tight.

[panting, sighs]

We made it.

-Hey, wait! -[chirping]

Where is it going?

Aree said they don't stay in one place for long.

I'm sorry for rushing things today.

And I'm sorry I wasn't the best leader.

Guess we both still got a lot to learn, huh?

We do.

But, hey, we still had a really fun adventure. Right?

Absolutely. Come on. Let's head back to the temple.

[dunnel bellows]

[Nubs coos]

Lys, Myra, you're back.

Did you find the leepur?

-We did. -[speaking Poobian]

But we weren't able to get a holo of it.

[groans]

But that's okay.

We're just happy we got to spend time with a really special little creature.

-[leepur chirping] -[gasps] Is that...

-[gasps] The leepur! -[chirping]

-It followed us back. -[Lys gasps]

-Ooh! No way! -[speaking Poobian]

-Hmm? -[whispering] It's important to stay calm.

Don't want to startle it.

Yeah. Nice and calm so it doesn't run away.

[chirping]

Ah.

I know what you want.

[sniffs]

[gasps] Myra, is your holocam still in your bag?

-Yes. -[Nubs chuckles]

-[holocam beeps] -Got it.

[leepur chirping]

[normal voice] Bye, little leepur.

[Aree] Thank you, both, for your incredible work today.

I've already added your research on leepurs to the Galactic Creature Guide.

My first entry.

[squeals] So official!

As soon as you're ready for your next search, I'd be happy to...

-We're ready! -[laughs] Well then,

have you ever heard of a Federian erbling?

-No, but I'd love to meet one. -Me too!

Wonderful, because I'd love you both

to collect as much information as you possibly can.

These creatures are very special...
