-[doorbell rings] -Pizza time!
Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza.
Pizza!
[gasps] Ew!
Pineapple pizza?
And what kind of weirdo would order something like this?
Look, pal. That is exactly what you ordered.
[screams]
Hey, no need to scream. You want me to buzz off?
[eerie music playing]
-No, no, no, no. [screams] -[loud buzzing]
[screams, breathes heavily]
[exhales] What a weird dream.
[bee buzzing]
[yelps]
Ahh!
[buzzing continues]
-[Craig screams] -[biker groans] Oh!
-How bad is it? -[Barry muffled] Pretty bad.
Luckily, my supervisor says the bee colony is isolated
to your son's bedroom.
But don't worry,
I can totally handle this.
Elder Barry?
Nope, I'm Beekeeper Barry now.
Officially certified, after two weeks of intensive online training.
Also, my dad owns the company.
So, I was getting hired no matter what.
Now relocating a bee colony is a very delicate job,
but I think we should be able to have them gone in a week.
A week?
Yes.
I must first live among them.
Learn their ways.
Only once I gain the Queen's trust,
can I shepherd the colony to a new hive.
That don't sound right.
Well, it looks like you'll be bunking with Bernard for a bit.
[chuckles sarcastically] No.
And allow me to speak for Bernard too.
No.
Oh, for his safety, young Craig can't stay in the house at all.
Your dad didn't happen to hire another smarter family member,
did he, hm?
[tires screeching]
Nope, so where can I put all my bee stuff?
I'm gonna be sleeping over for the next couple of nights.
You know, I could have a sleepover too.
Huh? At a friend's place? For the whole week?
But, Craig, who's gonna want you in their house for a whole week.
[Kelsey] Kelsey was engulfed in anticipation,
awaiting the arrival of her creek companion.
What wonders awaited them in the evening ahead?
What treasures?
What quest would reveal themselves in the wicked wilds
-of the nightfall? -[doorbell rings]
-He's here! -[energetic music playing]
[Kelsey panting]
[grunts] Ahh!
Sleepover warriors!
[Kelsey] Nine!
Your flying attack misses,
the swamp beast lumbers forward,
teeth glistening in the light of the seventh moon.
Craig, it's your turn to act.
-Okay, I do a really cool spin and then I cast Icelance! -[dice clattering]
Eight. Your attack misses its mark as well.
The swamp beast chuckles.
[mimics swamp beast chuckling] You have failed to defeat me.
So now you must listen to...
my very personal poetry.
No, Mortimor. Cover your ears.
-[Kelsey mimics swamp beast] -[Neil] All right.
Time for bed you three.
But, Papa, I was just getting good!
Remember, we have many, uh, quests tomorrow.
The kingdom has chores to be done.
Oh, right, yeah.
Many chores, yes, yes.
Welcome to the royal couch.
It is very old, but comfy.
I hope it is acceptable to you.
[yawns] Don't worry.
I could fall asleep just about anywhere right now.
Except for a room full of bees.
[gentle music playing]
All right, Craig, I know you've had a long day.
Just take it easy.
[sighs] Thank you, Mr. Pokoly.
I hope I'm not...
[yawns] ...imposing.
No, not at all.
You just get yourself a nice long rest.
-[alarm beeping] -[plates clattering]
Huh?
What?
Morning, Craig.
What? Why is it so dark outside.
What time is it?
4:00 in the morning?
Yeah. Time to break fast.
How do you take your oatmeal, Craig?
Uh, I like mine with a little sleep.
[thuds]
Not a morning person, huh?
Is this morning?
Of course it is.
But there's no sun.
Pfft! What's our motto, Kelsey?
You don't need the sun to get things done.
[both] That's the Pokoly way.
What is happening?
Ah, I love it.
There's nothing like getting up before the sun.
Watching it rise and knowing you're better than it
and everyone else who's still wasting the day in bed.
[both exhale, slurp] Ah!
All right, time to get to it.
Our first quest is not an easy one.
The sacred gardens of the front lawn
are under attack from crabgrass!
Quickly, Craig. There's no time to waste.
Huh? Yeah, you guys just go do that.
-I'll just be over here. -[thuds]
[grunting]
You don't need the sun!
Hoo! Ha! To get things done!
[both] That's the Pokoly way.
-[crickets chirping] -[Craig sighs] Mm.
Hm.
-Time for training! -[Craig gasps]
[Neil and Kelsey grunting]
You feelin' the burn, Kelsey?
[grunts] Oh, yeah!
You feelin' the burn, Mortimor?
[Mortimor chirping] You feeling the burn, Craig?
[Craig snoring]
-Uh... -[cell phone buzzing]
[screams] Bees!
[chuckles] Hey! Looks like our brand new couch is gonna be delivered today.
Wait, what's wrong with that one?
It was super comfy.
[softly] For the five seconds I got to sleep on it.
Uh, well, this model has reinforced, insulated,
water resistant cup holders.
Mwah!
And, they have a pick-up service
for the old couch for...
30 dollars?
Neil gazed upon the expectant faces
of his noble child knight,
and her sleepy-headed companion.
Would he take the well-trodden path,
and give his coin to the powers that be,
or would he train these young souls
in the ancient art of DIY.
Yeah, I'm not paying $30.
We're taking this couch...
to The Crusher!
[Kelsey gasps]
Wait, what? What's... what's The Crusher?
Are you guys waiting on me, or...
Deep in the depths of the Herkleton dump lies
a hungry, depraved beast,
known only as The Crusher!
It's gaping maw is lined with rows of teeth sharper than any blade,
ripping anything it touches to shreds.
A bottomless of abyss of grinding chaos.
[clanks]
-But, Father! The journey would be... -[Craig snoring]
-...far too treacherous. -[Craig gasps]
And Craig is just too sleepy.
Aye, you are right, my child.
Craig is not of the morning people.
He is like a sleepy baby,
-yearning for a bottle of milk... -[Craig snoring]
-Huh? -...and a binky.
We must protect this delicate lamb.
He can sleep in the car.
Ugh!
[birds chirping]
Morning person.
Who wants to be a morning person?
We have arrives at...
the dump!
There she is.
The Crusher.
[blades whirring]
[clanking]
And she sounds extra crushy this morning.
[bungee cords whooshing]
-[sofa clatters] -[Neil] Easy.
Okay, Kelsey, get ready.
-[sofa thuds] -[Kelsey grunts]
-[bone crushing] -[Neil groans]
Dad, are you okay?
I'm all right.
Couch is just a little heavier than I remember.
Maybe we should ask Craig to help us lift it.
[Neil] Nah, this is a quest for morning people.
Now on the count three.
One, two, three
-[discs crack] -[Neil screaming]
Dad! What was that?
That was the sound of me
aging out of this particular quest.
You can do it.
Lift with your legs.
That is... not going to happen.
We will not get this done by sunrise.
[Craig grunts]
I fear we are no longer morning people.
We are just early risers.
[Kelsey] No! Don't say that.
Don't listen, Craig.
This is a morning person problem,
not a Craig problem.
Just sleep while you can.
[pants] I'll move it myself.
We can still beat the sun.
-[grunting] -[Craig grunting]
It's too heavy, my child.
We must admit defeat.
-[bones cracking] -[Neil groans]
And you must call my chiropractor
for I cannot reach my phone.
[Kelsey] No, this can't be the end of the road!
[Craig] Ugh!
Craig? What... what are you doing?
Becoming a morning person.
[grunting]
Craig, no!
You'll hurt yourself.
One, two, three!
[Kelsey grunts, chuckles]
My goodness. He's using the sun to get things done.
He truly is a morning person.
[Kelsey grunts, sighs]
[both chuckling]
Push the button! Push the button!
[The Crusher beeps]
[whirring]
[all] Crush, crush, crush, crush.
-Crush! -[sofa crashing]
[all] Yeah!
[spirit roars]
Craig, I have never seen a battle fought so bravely.
Your reward will be the handsomest feast...
[groans] ...fit for a morning person.
[all] Mm, mm.
[upbeat music playing]
Um, so you're sleeping over again tonight, right?
What do you wanna do tomorrow?
Mm, I don't know. Maybe, watch some cartoons,
play some video games.
Just a super chill Sunday morning.
Oh, no, no, no.
Sunday is the day we wake up early around here.
Earlier than today?
[both] Absolutely.
Hey, change of plans.
Can I sleep at your place tonight?
