(Wolfie) Oso, for today's training exercise,
you need to take this tube over to UNIQUE's swamp research lab.
What's in the tube, Agent Wolfie?
Special sponge animal capsules.
So be careful not to get them wet.
(Wolfie) To get to the lab, you need to follow the square-shaped stones
across the swamp.
Now pay attention, Oso.
Some of the stones aren't big enough for both of your feet.
So be sure you hop across on one foot.
Sounds like a plan.
Hmm. Which shaped stones did Wolfie say I should hop on?
The square-shaped stones. Thanks.
Hey, Alexis, wanna play hopscotch?
Sure, do you know how?
No, I was hoping you did.
Hmmm.
(bell rings)
Recess will be over soon. What should we do?
(beeping)
(grunting)
Almost there.
But the square stones are getting smaller.
Hmmm.
Ungh! Whoa!
Whoa. Whoa!
Special alert. Special alert.
Whoa!
(rumbling)
It's all part of the plan.
More or less.

Special assignment accepted.
Wow. We're really flying now.
What's that? You wanna be really flying now?
No problem.
No, wait, that's not what I meant.
Happy landings, Oso.
Special Agent Oso.
Are you on a special assignment?
Yes I am, Alexis.
I'm here to help you and John learn how to play hopscotch.
Wow. Thanks, Oso.
The hopscotch squares are right over here.
But we don't know what we're supposed to do.
Let's find out together.
Paw Pilot? What's our first step?
Step 1: Toss the stone.
Here's a tip: On your first turn,
toss the stone into the square with the number one on it.
Since we're all just learning,
maybe we should take the first turn together.
That sounds great.
Okay.
(Oso) Now, which square do we toss the stone into first?
The number one square.
Thanks.
(blows)
-Tricky. -That's okay, Oso.
This is just a practice game,
so you can keep trying until you get it right.
Try throwing it softer.
Like this.
All right.
Let me try now.
Yes.
Your turn, Oso.
-Whew. -All right.
We did it.
Great job. Now for Step 2: Hop to the last square.
Hmmm. Which square is the last one?
The square with the 10.
Right, thanks.
(Paw Pilot) Jet pack activated.
(Oso) I can hop to the 10, no problem.
Woo-hoo!
Uh, problem?
Oso, you can't use jet packs to play hopscotch.
She's right, Oso. To get to the last square,
you need to hop into each square,
except the one with the stone in it.
Oh, sorry. Heh-heh!
I get it.
We're supposed to hop over the square with the stone in it,
then hop from one square to the next.
Like this.
Yes, that looks right. Let me try.
Okay, Oso, now you go.
Just hop across on one foot.
Hop across on one foot.
That sounds like something Wolfie said.
Will you help me by counting out the squares I need to jump to?
Great. Don't forget,
we have to skip number one and start with two.
Okay, here we go.
Two.
Three.
Four. Five.
Six.
Seven. Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
Wow, thanks for the help.
Way to go, everyone.
You hopped to the last square.
Now for Step 3: Hop back and pick up the stone.
But the stone's all the way over there.
That's okay, Oso. Watch this.
We can hop back to the stone...
and pick it up as we go.
-Great idea. -My turn.
All right.
You can do it, Oso.
This time we need to start at 10 and count down to one.
Better hurry, Oso.
Recess will be ending in 12 seconds.
Twelve.
Eleven.
Let's count down with Paw Pilot.
Ten.
Where to next?
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three. Two.
(Alexis) Pick up the stone, Oso.
Whoa! Ungh. Oof.
One.
Assignment complete.
All right.
-Thanks, Oso. -(school bell rings)
Let's play again after school.
You can play too, Oso.
Ah, it sounds like fun,
but I've got a training exercise to complete.
Thanks to John and Alexis,
I remember that I need to hop on one foot to get across the swamp.
(grunts)
I did it.
Outstanding, Oso.
Outstanding.
You've earned your Swamp Crossing Training Award.
(Paw Pilot) Way to go, Oso.
Mr. Dos?
(Mr. Dos) That's not all you've done, Special Agent Oso.

(Paw Pilot) "Goldringer."
(Dotty) Listen up, Oso.
For today's training exercise, you're having target practice.
Got your laser pen?
Right here, Dotty. Safe and sound.
You're going to go up in this hot air balloon
and point your laser at a target.
Sounds like a plan.
To make the balloon go up, you'll need to untie this rope.
When you spot the target, point your pen at the big red circle.
To point your laser, hold your arm out straight
and look down your arm at the target.
Like this.
Sure thing.
Well, what are you waiting for? Take off.
What was I supposed to do to make my balloon go up?
Untie the rope? Of course. Thanks.
Whoa.
(grunting and whimpering)
It's all part of the plan. More or less.
-Thanks for the horseshoe set, Dad. -You're welcome, Chloe.
I thought you might enjoy playing it with Grandpa when he gets here.
I'd better start setting up the barbecue.
Hm. If I knew how,
I could toss a horseshoe for Grandpa just as soon as he gets here.
(beeping)
Aha.
Target dead ahead.
There's the big circle Dotty was talking about.
Dotty said something about using my pen
while holding my arm out.
Special alert. Special alert.
Argh. Whoops.
It's all part of the plan.

(Whirly Bird) Happy landings, Oso.
Special Agent Oso.
Are you here to help me learn to play horseshoes?
I sure am, Chloe. We can learn together.
Will you help too?
Great. Paw Pilot, what's Step 1?
(Paw Pilot) Step 1: Point the horseshoe at the wooden stake.
Thanks, Paw Pilot. But first we have to find a horseshoe.
I don't even know what they look like.
Here's a tip, Oso.
A horseshoe is shaped like the letter U.
This is shaped like a letter. Is it shaped like a U?
What letter is it shaped like?
A V?
Well, if it's not a horseshoe, what is it?
That's a boomerang, Oso.
If you throw it, it comes back to you.
-Really? Neat. -Mm-hm.
-Oof. -Hee-hee!
Wow. It works.
Look at this thing. What letter is it shaped like?
An L? So it's not a horseshoe, either?
No, that's a hockey stick.
You play hockey with it.
What about this, Oso?
What letter is it shaped like?
A U. Is it a horseshoe?
Yes. Thanks.
Let's try pointing them at the wooden stake. What is a stake?
(Paw Pilot) A stake looks like a stick stuck in the ground.
You wanna throw your horseshoes around the stake.
Do you see a stick stuck in the ground?
You do? Where?
Huh. Oh, there it is. Thanks.
Now we're ready to point our horseshoes at the stake.
When my dad goes bowling, he holds the ball straight out
and looks down his arm at the pins.
Like this, and look down your arm.
Look down your arm.
That's what Dotty said to do to point my laser pen at the target.
Let me try.
There's the stake. I'm doing it. What's next, Paw Pilot?
(Paw Pilot) Step 2: Swing the horseshoe.
And here's a tip: You need to swing it underhand.
Like this? Is this underhand?
Oh. My arm's over my head,
so this must not be underhand.
Say. What about Chloe?
Is she swinging underhand or overhand?
Yeah, she's doing it right.
I think I've got it.
First I point the horseshoe, then I swing it underhand...
Oof! Ungh.
I think I scored a ringer.
I don't think it counts, Oso. You didn't let go of the horseshoe.
Heh! Chloe's right, Oso.
That's our Step 3: Let go of the horseshoe.
Then let's try it again. Both of us.
First we point 'em, then we swing 'em, then we let go.
We threw 'em. And we got really near the stake.
One more try.
(horn honks)
-Grandpa. -That's right, Oso.
Chloe's grandfather will be here in six seconds.
Six.
Let's try one more time.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Assignment complete.
(Chloe) He's here. He's here.
Look, Grandpa. I can play horseshoes.
Why, you sure can. That's called a leaner. Great job.
Thanks for your help, Oso.
You wanna play a real game with us?
I'd love to, Chloe, but I've got a training exercise to finish.
(both) Bye, Oso.
This time I remember how Dotty told me to point my pen.
Thanks to Chloe.
And you.
I did it.
Bull's-eye.
(Dotty) You know what the fireworks mean?
They mean you've earned your Target Practice Training Award.
