Look, guys, this stick
is covered in sap, the boogers of the trees.
Check this out! This stick has got to be
at least plus-two piercing damage!
Yah!
[ Gasps ] Sweet sequoia!
A solid "Y" structure.
This is the perfect stick for a slingshot,
the ultimate distance weapon for knocking stuff out of trees
and antagonizing older brothers.
In you go to the Purse of Holding!
[ Shing! ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Music fades ]
Yeah.Hey, Craig, we found some cool sticks!
Do you think we could shove them in your purse while we look for more?
[ Ding! ]
I don't know, guys.
The Purse of Holding is already holding a lot right now.
Thanks, Craig!Thanks, Craig!
[ Gasps ] My baby!
What have they done to you?
[ Sighs ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Whispering ] I have a secret.
Secret Kid: Oh, really? You may enter.
♪♪
Talk to me.
Thanks for seeing me on such short notice.
Oh, it's a pleasure.
Are you still having that nightmare
where your body is covered in mosquitos?
Uh, I'm -- I'm here for another reason.
It's about my friends, Kelsey and JP.
Oh. [ Clears throat ] Uh, go on.
I-I love my buds. Don't get me wrong. They're the best.
I mean, I can name like 100 things
I like about them, no problem.
Number one -- JP's name is letters.
That's cool. Number two -- Kelsey...
Craig, it's okay. I'm just here to listen.
It's what I do -- unburden kids like you
from the secrets that haunt your playtime
like a crack on the phone screen of your soul.
And I ask for nothing in return,
you know, except to know everything about everyone.
It's a fair trade.
You can tell me your secret.
Sometimes, Kelsey and JP annoy me.
Mm-hmm, there it is.
The other day, JP tried to wipe his nose with my map,
and then Kelsey tried out her falcon kick
on my Staff of Grandad's House!
She almost broke it in half!
And today was the worst!
They put some sticks in my Purse of Holding and messed it all up!
And all you wanted to do was make a slingshot.
Yeah! Wait, h-how did you know that?
Craig...
Anyway, I-I want to say something to them,
but I'm worried they'll get mad at me.
Just write it down and let the worries leave your body.
"Sometimes, Kelsey and JP really annoy me.
They should respect my stuff!"
Now the secret is off your chest.
Just let the bottle do the rest.
[ Squeak! ]
There, tucked away amongst the other secrets of the creek.
[ Sighs ] Thanks again.
Um, sorry, I-I still don't know your name.
[ Chuckles ] I know.

Aw, still in this dimension.
What?! How the heck did my fighting dummy get up there?
Gwendolyn, how'd you get up there?
Man, the storm last night must have overflowed the creek.
Hang tight, buddy. We got a plan to get you down!
Aah!
Okay, on to plan "B."
Craig, build something.
Hey, a bottle with so much mud on it
that I can't read what's inside!
Let's roll the dice, you guys.
Ahh! Oh.
What the...?
Looks like it's some kind of note.
"Sometimes, when nobody is around, I kiss my candy"?
Hmph, weird. Why would someone write that down?
That seems like the kind of thing you'd want to keep
secret...
secret.
You know, I've, uh, heard
there's some kid in the creek
who keeps other kids' secrets in bottles.
Oh, yeah! I've heard of that kid, too.
Yeah, I've also heard of that kid [chuckles] from the news!
I -- I've never been myself, though,
because I don't have any secrets I wouldn't tell you guys.
Isn't that right, Mortimer?Mortimer: Uh, uh-huh.
M-Maybe we should bring these back to the Secret Kid,
you know, ju-- just in case they're important.
But how will we find his lair? Perhaps this way.
All: [ Whispering ] I have a secret.
My bottles!
Oh, thank goodness!
Oh, uh, bring them inside, quickly.
Ugh! The storm last night flooded my hideout
and washed away all my bottles.
The kids of the creek trusted me with their secrets,
and now they're out there for anyone to find.
I can't believe I let this happen.
Don't worry. We'll help you find them.
[ Sniffles ] You will?
Yeah, for the sake of those kids who have secrets,
which is obviously not any of us.
Because we're a bunch of besties with no secrets between us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keep telling yourself that.
Now, go, and if anyone asks what you're doing,
uh, just say you're recycling -- yeah, yeah, recycling.
Hey, we should all be doing it, anyways.
Guys, up there! There's one!
That's no problem for Mortimer!
Fly, my falcon, fly!
Retrieve that secret-keeping receptacle!
Got it! Thanks, Kelsey!
Ugh!
[ Grunting ]
Ugh, man, that thing is really wedged in there.
Ooh, I got an idea!
If we hum together at the right frequency,
we should be able to break the rocks and get the bottle.
Okay. All right. Come on. Here we go.
Mm.
[ Grunts ]
Got it.
Yeah, nice job.
Hmm.
Mm.
♪♪
Hmm.
There, all in alpha-bottle-cal order.
Hmm.
I can't thank you enough for, uh, bringing back these secrets.
If anyone had gotten their feelings hurt,
I would never be able to forgive myself.
Well, your secrets are safe with us
because they're back with you.
[ All slurping ]
It was a close call, y-you know,
for all the other kids in the creek.
[ Chuckles ] But not us, because we don't have any secrets.
[ All slurping ]
Aah! [ Spits ]
[ Bike bell rings ]Eliza: Oh, goodness me!
I'm in such a dilemma.
Here is fine, George.Ugh!
The most peculiar thing happened today.
I said, "The most peculiar thing happened today"!
There I was on my midafternoon constitutional
when I stumbled upon this.
Oh, no.
Does this bottle belong to anyone?
Anyone at all?
Well, if no one's claiming it, I guess there's no harm
in opening it up and reading what's inside.
Oh, heavens, what am I thinking?
Reading a secret out loud
could potentially ruin someone's friendship.
I'll just have to sell it!
Tomorrow, 3:00 P.M., the Tea Timers Club,
this bottle and all of its secrets goes to the highest bidder.
Bring your best trades, or your secret's out!
[ All gasp ]
George: Thank you all for coming.
First up on the bidding tray is one secret in a bottle.
[ Clears throat ] Drawing of a unicorn!
Drawing of a unicorn from the horse,
the sad-looking horse, sad horse, drawing of a unicorn.
Can anyone top it? Oh, it see a wheel --
a wheel from a bike, no bike, just a wheel.
Good to have in case of an emergency with your bike.
Samurai sword -- I see a samurai sword.
No, no, not a samurai sword. A replica of a samurai sword.
Squeeze Rex -- I have a bid for a Squeeze Rex.
Can anyone bid against Squeeze Rex?
JP is going to give up Squeeze Rex?
But Squeeze Rex is like a son to him, a dino-son!
George: I have a bid for a book, "Say Good Night,"
secret bottle for "Say Good Night," a book...
That's Kelsey's favorite book.
Her mom gave her that.
She's willing to trade it for this secret?
George: A credit card! We have a bid of a credit card!
Literally anything could be done.
I believe...Where'd he get that from?
Ugh, I can't let my friends go through this.
[ Giggles ]Enough!
I have a secret.
[ Sighs ]
Kelsey, JP, it really annoys me
when you guys aren't respectful of my things.
They all mean a lot to me,
but when you mess around with them,
it feels like you don't care.
I also have a secret!
You guys always thank me for stuff Ido,
but you never thank Mortimer!
We're not just a trio.
We're a quartet of plus-four danger!
You're not supposed to share your secrets!
You're supposed to fight for them!
I also have a secret.
I'm not Worthington J. Fuzzycoat.
I'm JP, and it hurts my feelings when you don't listen to me
when I suggest we hum in unison to destroy things.
Humming canbreak things! It's science, you guys!
George, ignore them! Keep auctioning!
Do I have a bid for --
Handlebarb: I have a secret.
You know that time I said I was going
like a million miles downhill?
It was only half a million.
It's cool, HB.
We all lie sometimes to our best friends.
It's fine.
I didn't get the ending to "Sadboy Pilotgeddon"!
I never liked "Sadboy Pilotgeddon"!
I like to kiss my candy.
All: We know!
Well, I guess since it's honesty hour now,
I'll just read the secret out loud!
Hmm.
"I don't like horses"?
Huh, who doesn't like horses?
Definitely not one of the horse girls.
It's my secret. I don't like horses.
They walk on their fingernails. It's gross.
Ugh!
I'll take that. Thank you.
Watch yourself.
You of all people wouldn't want any other tea to be spilled.
Someone might wig out.
[ Inhales sharply, chuckles nervously ]
Oh, Craig! Craig!
I-I'm sorry, guys.
I promise not to keep secrets from you anymore.
Me, too. Me three.
Now, can we hum and destroy something?
