a normal morning</i> <i> at the City Town
Animal Shelter.</i> <i> Very little going on,</i> <i> but something big
was about to go down.</i> - Oh, good. The truck full of dog toys
is here. There should be enough for
every dog in the shelter. [toys squeaking]
[gasps] Oh, no, the dog toys! [dogs barking]
The dogs? Come back, little doggies!
Come back! Oh, what do I do?
Oh, no! I need help. I need help! <i> [dramatic music]</i> <i> narrator: Luckily, helping
is what our students train for</i> <i> at Hero Elementary.</i> <i> Though sometimes,</i> <i> they could use a little help
of their own.</i> [girl whooshes] <i> [quirky music]</i> <i> - Attention,
Amazing Memory Kid.</i> <i> You forgot
your lunch bag again.</i> - [grunts] - Class is starting, guys.
- Let's go. - Ooh, I can't wait. - Huh? -<i> Buenos días,</i> class. Come in, come in. - What's this, Mr. Sparks? - It's a door. - Good observation, AJ. - But what's it doing
in our classroom? - It's for training. As heroes, sometimes
you may need to save someone who is on the other side
of a locked door-- someone like our lovable
class pet, Fur Blur. - [chitters excitedly] - Ooh.
Now, imagine. Poor little Fur Blur
is behind this locked door and she can't get
to her afternoon snack. - [chitters sadly] - She needs you
to come to her rescue. One of you must
get through that door. - I'm coming, Fur Blur! [crash] Got her.
Uh... [wood creaks] - Well, she did
get through the door. [Sparkinator blipping,
all gasp] - The Sparkinator. Looks like trouble
outside the Animal Shelter. - I think they could use
some heroic help. - Well, who's the crew
who knows what to do? <i> ♪ ♪</i> all: Sparks' Crew to the Rescue! <i> [exciting music]</i> <i> ♪ ♪</i> [dogs barking] - Oh, thank goodness
you're here! - Okay, Team.
What are we dealing with? - We've got
a major traffic jam. - And doggy squeaky toys
everywhere! - And cute little doggies too! [cars honking] - It's too loud. [grunting] [relieved sigh] - Things are out of control. Can you help? - Fear not. We shall get
all the squeaky balls and the cute little
doggy-woggies too-- Hero Word of Honor. - Come on, Sparks' Crew! - Let's do this. [whooshes] - Come on.
I got you! I got you! Whoa!
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa. [grunts, groans] - [whooshes] [grunts]

it was "ruff"... [laughs]</i> <i> But my hero students
fetched all the squeaky balls</i> <i> and all the dogs too.</i> - Wait.
There's still one ball left. - I shall get it! Catch!
[grunts] - Oops!
[ball squeaks] Aha! I'll stop it with my Stop Ray.
[Stop Ray whooshes] <i> ♪ ♪</i> - Uh, I don't think
that's a Stop Ray. - Mm, nope. That's my Grow Ray. - That giant squeaky ball

It's getting faster and faster! - That's 'cause
it's rolling downhill! - Never fear. We shall use our superpowers

is flatter here. Ball is slowing down. - Get ready.
Now's our chance to stop it. - I shall stop the ball
with a wall... [bubbles bubbling]
Of bubbles! <i> ♪ ♪</i> Eh, that's the way
the bubbles burst. [sheepish laugh] - Okay,
I've reversed this Grow Ray to make it a Shrink Ray. [Shrink Ray whooshes] <i> [dramatic musical sting]</i> Oops. I must've reversed
the reverse button. [chuckles] - Maybe I can land on the ball
to stop it. <i> ♪ ♪</i> Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh. Whoa! - What do we do now?
- [groans] - I know.
We can use our... all: Superpowers of Science! - Let's start by investigating. I'll fly up
and see what I can find out. <i> [curious music]</i> I noticed that the ball is heading away from downtown. I also noticed
that I'm getting dizzy! [squeaks] - I shall protect you! Bubble up! - [screams] [grunts] <i> [victorious fanfare]</i> Thanks, Benny. Let's go! - Huh, I just thought
of something I noticed today. Thought Projecting! The ball pushed
that grocery cart, see? But Benny stopped it by
pushing it from the other side. Maybe that's
what we need to do: push the ball
from the other side. - Okay!
I'm on it! <i> [dramatic music]</i> <i> ♪ ♪</i> [knuckles crack] [ball squeaks]
[grunts] [grunting] - That's a super push! - It slowed the ball down,

into the lake! - Not if I can help it! - [grunting] - [grunts] [both grunting] - Ball is slowing down,
but they need a stronger push. - Come on, AJ.
Let's help. <i> ♪ ♪</i> all: [grunting] - [grunting]
Push. - You've gotta be kidding me! <i> ♪ ♪</i> [feet screeching] all: [cheering]
- Yeah, we did it! - We stopped the giant ball
with a giant push! - [meows] [purrs] - Great work, team. - Yes!
We have saved the day. Our work here is done. - Not yet. We said we would get
all the squeaky balls back. We gave our Hero Word of Honor. - I guess we did. But how are we going to get
this big ball back up the hill all the way
to the Animal Shelter? - I'll just teleport it back. It'll be a snap. [whooshes] Oops.
Let me try again. Let me try again. - [laughs] I think we've gotta
come up with another plan. [device beeps] - How's it going, class? - Well, we ended up
with a giant squeaky ball rolling down City Town. <i> - Ay.
What did you do?</i> - We stopped it together
by pushing from the other side. <i> - Fantástico!</i> - But we wanna
get it moving again. - Hmm, if pushing
stopped it from moving, maybe pushing
can start it moving. - Let's investigate! <i> - Yes, try it out.</i> <i> Good luck!</i> - Come on! Let's push! - [grunts] - It's moving!
[gasps] Keep going! - [grunts]
- Push, push! - Push!
- Push! [all grunting] [yelping] [grunting] [bell jingles]
[panting] - We promised we would get
every squeaky ball back. - And this is the last of them. - This is one
of our squeaky balls? It's huge! - Oh, good.
You're still open. - Amazing Memory Kid? What are you doing here? - Oh, I forgot that
today's my dog's birthday. I heard you
had some extra squeaky balls. Do you have one
that's the right size for a super dog like this? <i> ♪ ♪</i> I'll take it! But, uh, how can I get it home? - Well, Team, looks like
someone else needs our help. To Amazing Memory Kid's house! Sparks' Crew:
Push! Push! Push! <i> Mr. Sparks: And so
our young heroes</i> <i> had a "ball"
saving the day.</i> <i> And all it took
was a little push.</i> <i> [chuckles]
Make that a lot of big pushes!</i> <i> all: ♪ We all belong

I got it, I don't got it. [overlapping cheering] - Oh--ooh! <i> Mr. Sparks: But sometimes,</i> <i> it's the rescuer

[grunts] [groans] Huh? - [laughs]<i> Excelente!</i>
- Yes, you did it! - [chitters happily]
- Okay, Team. Time to pull the boat to shore. - Let's see if I have
a gadget for that. [objects rustling]
Jet Shoes, Arm-o-matic, Grow Ray... - I got this. [whooshes] [grunts] - Uh-oh! [boat fizzes] - Oops, my bad. [Sparks' Crew grunting]
- Heavy. - Well, Team,
we did bring the boat to shore, but our water rescues
could use some work. - That's okay. You're still
heroes-in-training. You're learning. Come on, Fur Blur.

[knuckles crack] [grunting] - Fur Blur! - Aha! Gotcha!
- [chitters] - Nice job, Lucita. - You're safe now! Oh, you little cutie-wootie! - Okay, Team,<i>
nos vamos.</i> - Come on, Team!
Let's go! - I got the door.
- Okay. <i> [energetic music]</i> [engine turning over] [tires rustling on dirt] <i> [mysterious music]</i> <i> - But when my crew got back
and unpacked the back,</i> <i> Benny found the backpack
wasn't packed!</i> <i> Whew!
Say that three times fast!</i> - Oh.
Oh, boy. [whimpers] - Benny, what's wrong? - Uh, I can't find
AJ's backpack. Think, think, think...
[gasps] I left it on the ground
near the van. - What?
Oh, no. He loves that backpack. He's gonna be upset. - Maybe he won't.
Maybe he'll be totally calm. - [screams]
This is terrible! Yuck!
[whimpers] - Okay, maybe not. - I can't take it anymore. I don't like
how wet clothes feel. I need to change right now. - Okay, that's fine. - I'll get my backpack
when I'm dry. [groans] Yuck. - I'm gonna go back
to the lake and get it. - Before telling him? - I'll be back before
AJ even knows it's gone. Mr. Sparks,
we left something at the lake. Okay if I pop back
and pick it up? - Oh, I like how you want
to do things yourself, Sara. But remember to take
a buddy with you because it's always safer
with a buddy. - Lucita will go with me.
Thanks, Mr. Sparks! With the two of us looking,
we can get it back faster. - If AJ asks
about his backpack? - Just distract him.
Keep him busy. We'll be back in no time. Let's go!
Lake! - [gulps] <i> ♪ ♪</i> <i>-</i> [whooshes]
Okay. Where is it? - I don't know. It was right here
last time we saw it. We'll just have to figure out
how to find it. - Maybe we should use our... both: Superpowers of Science! - Let's observe to see
what we notice. <i> ♪ ♪</i> - I notice something. The beach slopes
downhill to the water. - Right. And the backpack was
in a round bubble. [gasps] Maybe it rolled down
into the lake. - Nah, Benny's bubbles float. If it went in the lake,
it would be right there, floating on top of the water. - Wait, I just noticed
something else. See that? Those leaves are moving! - How?
It's not even windy. - Then it must be the water
that's moving the leaves. - And if water can move leaves, then it can move a backpack
in a bubble! - We've got to find
where AJ's backpack went. Come on!
The water's going this way! - AJ?
- Oh, come on. I--
- Aww. I don't have any dry clothes
to change into. Maybe there's something
in my backpack. - No! I mean, why get changed when we have the perfect way
to get dry, uh, right here in the school! Come on! - Is it here?
No. Here?
No. Maybe it's here.
No. [whooshing] Look! The land is closer
together here. Lucita: And the water's
moving faster. This is definitely different
from the lake. [gasps] I think it's a river! - So the water from that lake
flows into this river? - Yup, so we have to keep
following the flow of the water if we want
to find the backpack. Let's go!
- [chimes] <i> [adventurous music]</i> - I see it!
There's AJ's backpack! - Can you get it? - Oh.
Whoa! Whoa,
it's too wet and slippery! I can't get a grip! - [gasps] <i> [angelic tone]</i> Maybe we can block it! [whooshes] [grunting] - Yes, we did it!
- We did it! - Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
- Yes, yes, yes! - Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- Oh, whoo-hoo! - Yeah!
[laughs] [both cheering]
- All right! [laughter] [both gasp] - I can't believe we lost it-- again! <i> Mr. Sparks:
Back at our school,</i> <i> Benny was doing his best
to keep AJ busy</i> <i> with an idea he hoped
would really fly.</i> - See? This is a great way to dry off! - But the wind tunnel
is supposed to be for flying lessons. [button beeps]
[machine powers down] [grunts] Well, I'm dry now.
[chuckles] I want to go get my backpack. I don't feel right without it. - Sure, AJ, uh, right after you help Mr. Sparks
fix the boat! [laughing] I mean,
when it comes to fixing things, you're the man. - I'm not a man.
I'm only seven. <i> ♪ ♪</i> - I can't see
the backpack anywhere. - I can't believe
we lost it again. - Sara, it's time to tell AJ. - [sighs]
He'll be so upset. - Yup, but he's our friend,
and he deserves to know. - [sighs]
I guess you're right. - Mr. Sparks, uh,
AJ can help you fix the boat! [slowly]
So take your time. - Oh,<i> gracias,</i>
but I just patched it. Good as new. Now, as soon as Lucita and Sara
get back from the lake, we can-- - The lake? - Oh, to, uh-- <i> - We went to find
your backpack, AJ.</i> - What do you mean? - Uh, well, I accidentally left it behind. - No. <i> - It rolled down a hill
into the lake--</i> - What? My Super Gadgets are in there! - Your backpack's dry.
It's in the bubble, but... [quickly]
The lake led into a river and the water carried it away. - [groaning] <i> - And we don't know
where it is right now.</i> - It's lost?
No. This cannot be happening. - Try taking some deep breaths. In...
- [inhales] - And out.
[both exhale] - [inhales, exhales]
Okay. <i> - I'd feel the way you do
if something of mine was lost.</i> <i> We're sorry, AJ.</i> <i> - We didn't want you to worry.</i> - But we should've
told you sooner. Sorry. - Well, now you can work
as a team together to solve this problem. <i> - Right.</i> <i> And we need your help, AJ.</i> <i> You are great
at solving problems.</i> <i> If anyone can do this,
it's you.</i> - [exhales]
Okay. We have to get
further down the river before my backpack gets there. Come on! all: Sparks' Crew to the Rescue! <i> ♪ ♪</i> - I hope we aren't too late. - Huh? The river looks like
it just ends. - It doesn't just end.
It falls. - It's a waterfall! - Come on, Team! - There's lots of hard,
pointy rocks down there. - Look!
My backpack! - It's too slippery to pick up, but if we don't stop it, it'll go over the falls
with all of AJ's gadgets. - Uh, did I mention that there are hard,
pointy rocks down there? - What do we do? - Hm, we let it
go over the falls. [together] Huh?
- What? No, no, no, no, no.
Your backpack will be ruined! - Thought Projecting! Not if you fly out
and catch it from below like how you caught Fur Blur
this morning. - Huh? Oh... - Lucita, I know you get dizzy
when you look down, but if anyone can do this,
it's you. - Okay, let's go with your plan. - [gasps]
Here comes the backpack. It's now or never! <i> ♪ ♪</i> - Whoa! [whimpering] - Come on, Lucita.
