Soda bombs away!
That all you got?
Release the Kraken Kid.
Nope!
What's crackin'?
Phew!
She got away.
The captain is not going to like this.
Lower the sails.
We'll find it.
Still dry.
Craig, we're gonna miss you a lot.
Yeah, table four for life!
Hey, say goodbye to Craig.
Oh. Hey, man.
And it's definitely a shame you're gonna miss
my big birthday sleepover!
It's nuts.
Dude, his name is Craig, not Greg.
Who?
Bernard, look!
-Huh? What? -Is that our new house?
Uh, that's a silo.
Small Uncle, look!
Is that our new house?
-Tree. -Is that our new house?
Man on a bike.
Pasta La Vista.
Oh, for real?
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's a beautiful town.
to get your own rooms.
Finally.
You just gonna take that, Craiggy?
Next Saturday is Bryan Banks' birthday.
And he's having a sleepover.
If we were still home,
I'm sorry, sweetie.
But they have sleepovers in Maryland too.
I'm sure as soon as the kids here meet you,
you are going to be getting sleepover invitations
left and right.
But how am I even supposed to meet anyone?
It's summer.
You just gotta look around.
See what's out there.
Here we are.
Wow!
Well, now we gonna fix it.
As soon as we look up how to fix a light switch.
All right. Finally some space for a grill.
We could have some serious cookouts here.
I know, my guy.
We left a lot behind.
Who wants to pick rooms?
- Me! - Ooh, ooh. Me, me, me!
Honey, pick the room with the bathroom!
What is that?
What?
Craig, what are you doing?
There's a monster in my vent.
Are you for real?
What is going on in here?
Craig's being a big scaredy-cat.
I am not.
Okay, I got it.
You okay, Craig?
I'm fine.
Good night.
Wait, you like food?
I like food.
You wanna get some food with me right now?
Yeah, I do.
Making friends is so easy.
Craig.
I thought maybe we could work on unpacking your room today.
Never.
Okay.
I like what I'm wearing.
Listen, Craig.
I know this move has been hard,
but your father and I just want to provide
the best we can for you kids,
and sometimes that means making hard decisions.
I was starting to make friends.
But now, I'm here.
This room with an air vent that sounds like
it's got a bird trapped in it.
I know this place feels different.
But it's never gonna feel like home
if you don't give it a chance.
Look around.
There's so much possibility here.
Well?
If you don't wanna unpack,
can you at least get some fresh air?
Think you can take her?
How about...
if I let you pick the toppings
for tonight's pizza dinner?
I'll do it for pizza.
We're here. So, what do you wanna do first?
Small Uncle does not want to do the slides.
Okay, what does Small Uncle wanna do?
Hm.
Welcome to Craig-copter Airlines.
Today, we'll be flying approximately one million miles in the air.
Two million.
Two million miles in the air.
A hundred million.
A hundred million miles into space.
Please keep all hands and feet inside the swing,
as we prepare for blastoff!
Ahh! Small Uncle!
Small Uncle, where are you?
I'm sorry, Jessica. He went in there.
No! Small Uncle.
He... was... my... only friend here,
and now I have... nobody.
Because I had Small Uncle.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's all right. Just breathe.
-I'll go get him for you. -Okay.
How far could he have gone?
Whoa!
Huh?
Whoa! A frog.
Ha! You're no match for the Bug Battler.
I choose you,
Stinkbug!
Stinkbug, use--
There's definitely more where that came from.
Huh?
Good grief! A civilian?
This is water balloon war!
You better watch out.
Come on, soldiers!
Let's H-2-go!
- Yeah! - Go, go, go.
Watch out!
- Bleh! - Oh, it's chill.
He just took a little spill. Huh?
Come on, little bro. Time to roll.
Are... are you okay?
Oh, yeah. I'm totally good.
Mm, that's my good one. Will you grab that?
Oh, um... Yeah, here you go.
He's about this big, and, um, kind of looks like an... an onion?
I... I honestly don't know what he's supposed to be.
If you're looking for a toy, I'd check the trading tree.
The Trading Tree? What's that?
Yo, are you new to the Creek?
The Creek?
Hop on.
Hold on tight.
Okay!
And... we're here.
Welcome to the Trading Tree.
Whoa!
This is where all of the kids in the creek come to trade and snack.
And if anyone found that little onion you're looking for,
probably made its way here.
Come on, before they run out of Yogo.
Yogo!
Maybe I'll see you around, man.
Whoa!
So many kids here.
Quick, fellow scouts! Can you identify that friend group?
The Horse Girls?
That's right, Jason.
And we add two parts carbonation
with one part fruity binding agent.
Will you science kids watch it?
Some of us are trying to have a tea party!
All right, all right. Who's ready to trade?
This is a trading tree.
Not the standing-around- and-looking-tree.
You wanna trade that for Spicy Beefers?
Now that's more like it.
Come on, step right up and trade.
We got fun-size, king-size.
Half-eaten, but half price.
Come on, who's next?
Hey, Kit, what can I trade for this?
Small Uncle.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's mine.
Uh, you must be new here,
because that is not how this works.
At the Trading Tree, we trade.
Okay, new kid?
but I think that belongs to my sister.
Well, here we go. Everybody got a sister.
Look, you got proof of ownership, new kid?
Check the tag.
What? Where's everyone going?
Here, just take it.
Wait, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What's going on?
What's happening?
Pirates!
-Ka... -Boom!
- My candy! - Jackpot.
No, please. These sodas are untested.
This is the worst day of my life.
Huh?
No!
Ugh! Hey, that's my sister's.
Huh?
You must be new here, because if you knew who I was,
you wouldn't have done that.
Huh?
I'll show you who runs this creek.
What?
After them!
You saved me.
Hey, there they are.
-Whoa! -Run!
Craig, I just asked you to take her to the playground,
not dropkick her doll into the woods.
I didn't kick anything? It was the--
And what happened to your clothes?
Oh, my gosh, Mom.
They're gonna make him walk the plank.
Small Uncle can't do that.
He doesn't have legs.
We will talk later.
Thank you for helping my son.
It was nice to meet you...
Kelsey.
Kelsey. Normally, we'd invite you in,
but our house is...
Whoo! My belt buckle is melting.
...under construction.
Coming, Duane.
Well, thanks for saving me back--
-Pay up. -Huh?
Pay up.
-For what? -For saving you.
You think I did that for free?
Well, you didn't exactly give me a choice.
Would you rather be paying up,
or cut in twain?
Uh, is there a third option?
I don't stick my neck out 'cause I'm nice.
I do it for snacks.
So pay up.
Fine.
I wanna go back home.
Again?
Just great.
This place.
What?
"To whoever finds this diary...
If you are reading this,
I've already moved.
My name..."
"...is Hannah.
known to kid kind."
- "The Wishmaker." - "The Wishmaker.
To learn more, turn to page 12."
I said, page 12.
Hey, this is still my diary, you know.
Oh, no, no.
Thank you. Now, The Wishmaker...
"This magical relic was created thousands of years ago
by the children of middle school.
Folded in the fires of second period math,
The Wishmaker had the power
to grant any wish a kid desired.
But accessing this sorcery is not so simple.
The Wishmaker's power is sealed
behind a puzzle of arcane runes."
Red.
R-E-D.
Five.
- Four. - -"And your wish will be granted.
Some wished for strength.
Some wished for beauty.
Some wished to simply never have to go to bed.
But like most good things,
somebody totally ruined it.
Our ancient kid-cestors decided to hide The Wishmaker,
to save kid kind from total destruction.
Where they hid it, no kid can remember."
"My time at the Creek has ended."
"But this diary contains all that I have learned
in my explorations.
That's it.
Find The Wishmaker and wish my family back to our real home.
All I gotta do is...
go back to the creek.
Hoodie armor!
Level nine.
Extra stink barrier.
For protection...
Hm. Hm?
Oh!
Hm.
A staff...
Perfect.
Okay, now, to carry stuff...
Nah, kind of feels like I'm going to school.
Hm.
Introducing the Purse of Holding.
A purse fit for an adventure.
Power-ups.
I'm sorry, Small Onion.
It's just not the same.
Time to make a wish.
Craig!
You're going out.
Uh, I'm just going to the Creek for a little bit,
to, uh, try and find Small Uncle.
So don't unpack any of my stuff while I'm gone.
You sure? Not even some clean underwear?
Especially not my clean underwear.
Okay, but come home
if this weather turns, all right?
Looks like we might be in for some rain.
Right, better be off then.
Ugh! Stupid pirates.
Here.
Hey!
You're that new kid who was looking
for the Small Uncle, right?
Uh, yeah. My name is Craig.
Kit.
I never forget a trade,
especially if I have to give it back.
Well, if it makes you feel any better,
I lost her toy again.
Those pirates took it.
It does make me feel better.
Kids didn't play pirate before she showed up.
Wait, who?
Serena, Captain of the Pirate Kids.
Nobody knows where she came from.
She just showed up in the creek one day,
with a bad attitude and a sword.
She bullied, she bossed,
and she took whatever she wanted.
Some kids joined up with Serena for the spoils.
But ever since she hoisted her flag,
these waters have not been safe.
Oh, not the shrimp sticks too.
You know how hard it was to get these?
I had to trade through three school systems.
Ugh!
With business like this,
I don't know how much longer
I can keep playing at the Creek.
Hey, have you seen that kid with the cape
and the bird in her overalls.
The sunflower seed kid?
Uh, yeah, yeah, Kelsey.
Check the oak tree around the bend.
And watch yourself out there.
It's you again.
No trade backs, new kid.
I'm not here to get my snacks back.
I need your help.
What, you have trouble with your shoelaces or something?
No... no. I'm...
I'm on a quest.
Huh?
I'm looking for The Wishmaker.
Hey, you're funny. I don't like funny people.
What's so funny?
The Wishmaker's a suburban legend,
a Creek myth,
the man that steals boogers?
It's not real.
Oh, yeah? Then that's this?
A drawing of a unicorn with a jetpack?
Huh? Oh, uh...
This.
Kelsey gasped, awestruck by the awesome sight.
She was typically more eloquent with her awestruck responses,
but this map had left her awestruck.
It was an actual, real-life treasure map.
Could this fool be telling the truth?
Uh, hello? Chelsea?
It's Kelsey, and where did you get that?
Doesn't matter.
and I'm gonna need some protection
Will you join me?
What's in it for me?
All right.
But I'm gonna need some payment up-front too.
Choco-roll.
One for Mortimor too. We're a package deal.
Birds can't eat choco-rolls.
It's the principle of the thing.
Okay, so let's go over some ground rules.
One, I gotta be home by dinner.
Two, things could get bloody.
So, if you're squeamish,
Here you go.
One raft.
This is a baby pool. Will it even float?
Hey, supplies are tight with these pirates around.
Now, are you trading or what?
He'll also take some of those sunflower seeds.
Okay.
But this kid, Hannah, has tons of notes.
So I think with these I can figure out the rest.
I mean, I am pretty good with maps if I do say so myself.
Do you have to eat that in front of me?
Mm. Yeah, I do.
A little help, please.
Only if you pay me.

Wow! The Creek is so big.
A kid could play here for a hundred afternoons,
and still see only a fraction of it.
None shall pass.
Uh, who are you?
We are the Wind in the Woods.
The Priests of Plants.
And none shall pass.
Unless, you answer a riddle.
How many times do we have to tell you. We don't do riddles.
We're elves, not trolls.
Ugh!
Well, we're just paddling through, so--
Too many children have desecrated our forest.
So we swore to protect the plants
that cannot protect themselves.
With riddles!
Do you have an offering?
Uh, no.
Oh. Well, then.
None shall pass!
What? Open the gate.
Wait. We'll do the riddle.
- "I must sink to rise." - Oh, gosh.
-"I must drown to live." -No.
-"Once I'm grown..." -Oh, boy.
"...I do nothing but give."
- Okay. - "What am I?"
That's it. I'm taking the book.
Give it.
"I sink to rise, I drown to live"?
Hm. Yeah, that riddle's tough.
Almost as tough as that Mithril soccer net of theirs.
Well, I think we've got a better chance with battle.
It's three on one,
but I'm pretty sure I can take 'em.
No, give it back--
and once I'm grown, I do nothing but give."
- Whoa! - Seeds.
-To replenish the forest. -You may pass.
Look alive.
There's a fork ahead.
Hm.
It looks like the Creek bends around this way,
but I'm missing the other half of the map.
Not sure which way to go.
Mortimor, scout up ahead.
One chirp for piranhas, two chirps for pirates.
And if you see piranha pirates, safe yourself.
Hiyah!
How did you train him to do that?
Mortimor and I spend a lot of time together at the Creek
honing our fighting skills.
I may look like a regular second grader,
but I have more battle scabs
than most kids will pick in a lifetime.
My parents never let me have a pet.
They just told me to play with my brother and sister.
I have no brethren nor sistren,
or any sibl-ren at all.
I'm the only child of my bloodline.
And my dad, the only parent.
But Mortimor is like a brother to me.
My dad got him for me when I was five.
I read this book about a prince with a falcon
that could peck out the eyes of his enemies.
So I asked for a falcon for Hanukkah,
and that we had enough medical bills as is.
But parakeets are tough.
Don't underestimate them.
but we fight at a 12th grade level.
And I can read at a nineth grade level.
What is it, Mortimor?
Wait, what was six chirps for?
Giant squid? Hydra?
-Parents? -Whoa!
Huh?
Pirates!
No, the other way. The other way.
But I am going the other way.
The other, other way.
This is gonna cost you extra.
Okay, I'll pay whatever you want.
Never turn your back on a pirate.
Uh...
Whoa!
You all right?
Gotcha!
Huh?
We got some booty.
-Ha! -Ha!
You've got booties all right.
Some booties that I'm gonna kick!
Stop it! I'm trying to threaten you.
Hey!
Give it back!
Okay, you got our snacks.
Can you let us go now?
Not so fast.
What were you doing in pirate waters?
I got nothing to say.
Me neither.
Then we will talk to the bird.
Ha! Mortimor ain't no stool pigeon either.
Nuh-uh.
Better luck with your next hostages, losers.
Oh, we'll get all three of you to talk.
Shall we escort them to the captain?
No, nothing till we know their...
je ne sais quoi.
Uh... what?
Oh, mm-hm.
Take them to The Torturer!
Y'all are in for it now.
Have fun.
Come on, Mortimor.
Yo, ho, ho.
And a packet of gum.
Who are you?
They call me "The Torturer."
JP, The Torturer.
And I'm here to break your souls
using any means necessary.
And today, I think I'll start with my favorite.
How would you like a dose of...
an uncomfortable amount of eye contact!
Yeah, I mean I've had worse.
Fine.
Guess you city slickers have seen eyes before.
Good for you.
Then how about something a little nastier?
Perhaps the Goggles of Inferno,
Sir Spikes-A-Lot,
maybe the Bucket of Doom!
Huh? Huh?
No, for you I think I'll use...
a wet willy.
You wanna stick that in my ear?
Your funeral, pal.
Ugh. Well, what about you?
Well, I definitely don't want that in my ear,
but it seems like you don't want it there either.
Oh, I'm not convincing enough for ya, am I?
So, you're the torture expert now?
I mean, is your name... What is your name?
Craig.
Oh, nice to meet you, Craig.
Is your name Craig The Torturer?
No, I'm not Craig the anything.
Okay, Not-Craig-The-Anything.
If you know so much about being a scary pirate,
how about you just show me how to do it, huh?
Well, I didn't say I was an expert, but...
Yar! Har! Har!
Fire!
Oh, no. Are you okay?
Yeah. No.
I'm a terrible pirate.
Okay, this is definitely torture.
I've been trying to be a scary pirate for weeks.
And then you just waltz in here
and nail it on the first try?
First, I was a ship's lookout,
but there was, like, too much to look at
and I got distracted, and we hit a duck.
He's fine, but it was a whole thing.
And then they made me scrub the poop decks,
and I totally misunderstood that job.
Ew?
You know why they call me The Torturer?
Because it's torture to be around me.
Somebody get us out of here!
No, no, no, no. Look, hey.
It's okay to be terrible at being terrible.
It is?
Yeah. I mean why would you wanna be
a scary pirate anyway?
I don't know. I just wanted to be a part of something.
Go on adventures with friends.
Also I really wanted to steer that big wheely-thingy.
Whatever that's called.
but you gotta work up to it.
Well, we're on an adventure.
I mean, well, we were.
How about this? If... if you let us out,
you can help us on our quest to find The Wishmaker.
The Wishmaker?
Yeah, join us.
You don't belong with these mean kids.
And if we ever get our raft back, you can steer.
Oh!
Can't believe you told on us.
It's... it's nothing personal, it's just pirate business.
I miss the ocean.
That's where a real pirate belongs.
Wind in your hair, waves beneath your feet.
A taste of salt on your lips.
Edie, spritz me.
Salty.
Now, tell me.
Where did you get this?
None of your business, sea witch.
I'm not talking to the bird feeder,
I'm talking to you.
Tell me, did you steal it?
No, I'm not like you.
Oh, really?
So, you're not looking for this?
The other half of the map.
I found it two summers ago on one of our raids.
I've been looking for the other half ever since.
But that nosy little explorer beat me to it.
- I don't know. - Hm.
I don't believe that for a second, new kid.
That's right. I remember you.
Do you remember him?
Small Uncle! What have you done to him?
He's one of us now, and you could be too,
if you tell us where the rest of the map is.
What are you talking about?
To be confused, and alone, with nobody to turn to.
Join us. Become a pirate.
All your problems will be solved.
Ooh, I think a song is coming.
When you're a pirate, you've got nothing to fear,
and everything to gain.
Oh, love it when we sing.

I... I just wanna find The Wishmaker,

That's fine. A pirate's life isn't for everyone.
Let's find somewhere we can drop you off.
Hey!
By the demon blade of Saggaroth,
they're taking us to the most vile place in the Creek.
Bacterial Infection Pond!
It smells like old chocolate milk and egg salad.
Keep your head up!
I'll give you one last chance.
Tell me where the other half of the map is...
or sink into the stink.
What'll it be, new kid?
The name is Craig! And I will never join you!
Yeah! You can lick my boots.
Very well.
Smell you later then.
Smell you later, forever.
Wait!
All this stealing and fighting...
This isn't what being a pirate is all about.
That's exactly what being a pirate's all about.
It's, like, the defining feature of a pirate.
Okay, historically, yes, but maybe we could be
different pirates, you know?
Fun pirates. Instead of hitting kids with cannonballs,
let's hit 'em with a real specific compliment, you know?
I think it's so cool
how you just sort of appear out of nowhere.
I have nightmares about it,
but it's... it's a talent.
I think my point is, like,
we could just be a bunch of friends
sailing together on a ship.
A Friend Ship!
What are you talking about?
Ugh! You're torturing us.
-Torturer! Torturer! -Torturer!
Torturer! Torturer!
Stop saying that!
I'm not a torturer!
Whoa!
Whoa! Ugh!
Sorry. I... I shouldn't have done that.
My... my bad.
Are you finished?
He might be.
But I'm just getting started.
Whoa!
Oof! After them!
Time to fly!
Cannonball!

Ah-ha!
You're a genius, JP.
Oh, wow!
I mean, I've heard, "Way to go, genius."
Heads up!
Ugh. Yeah, that's the worst.
Whoa!
Whoo, yes!
Ready?
Aim.
What?
Fire!
Ugh!
Hm.
Hey!
Oh!
And these were yours, right?
Yeah.
Bleh!
Come on, we gotta get out of here.
One sec.
All right, Craig.
This ends now.
Double bounce me.
I'll take those.
Gah! No!
Well, we're gonna be heading out.
Smell you later, Serena.
Smell you later, forever!
Ugh! No.
Ugh, not now!
Pull up anchor!
We're going after them.
Captain, the dinner tuba.
Aye, and it's pizza night.
Who here is ruthless enough to risk a grounding
to please their captain.
Stay in the Creek all night if you have to.
I want that map.
That was amazing!
Man, you were amazing, JP.
If it weren't for you, we'd be sunk to the bottom of that pond.
Or at least have a really bad rash.
Oh, thanks.
But it was you guys who saved me
from something even more toxic.
All right, I'm sorry. It was a bad joke.
Do you hear that?
Think I can small 'em.
Here they come.
I'll be right behind you.
You know what to do.
Yo, ho, ho!
Yarr! Where they at?
You know, guys, I really am having fun with this.
Yarr!
Hm.
Huh?
I hear sticks. This way.
Good job, Mortimor.
Here it is,
The map is complete.
Oh, look.
That looks like an X.
That must be where The Wishmaker is.
It's some ancient playground?
Whoa, I've... I've never heard
of a playground in the Creek before.
Look, if this is Bacterial Infection Pond,
then we're around here.
Just need to follow the Creek south,
turn this way at the Raccoon Drive-In,
and there's The Wishmaker.
Ugh, we can't go now.
The pirates are still looking for us.
It's not safe to go out till they go to bed.
When do you think that is?
Well, judging by the splashes,
I'd say they're seventh graders.
So, they could be up until nine, ten o'clock.
-What? -Ten?
but that's on a good night.
My mom!
Uh, uh. Okay, okay, okay.
Hi, Mommy.
Hey, sweetie. Where are you?
You're not hungry for dinner?
but I've been busy, um...
Hello? Craig?
Craig? Are you still at that Creek?
No, no, no, no. I'm at, uh, Kelsey's house.
Kelsey?
Yeah. Um, you remember that brave girl
who helped me get home the other day?
Well, I ran into her again,
and she asked me if I wanted to sleepover.
A sleepover?
She wants to talk to your dad.
Okay, um, yeah. Here's... here's Kelsey's dad.
Uh, hello.
This is Craig's mom, Nicole.
Kelsey's dad. Pleased to meet your phone-quaintance.
Do you have a cold or something?
I'm just suffering
from the condition called "old."
Well, are you sure you don't mind having Craig over?
Oh, no.
They're like puppies in a basket.
Okay, well. Let me swing by real quick,
and drop off some pajamas for Craig,
- and a toothbrush. - No.
No!
That will not be necessary.
See, I... I work at a pajama and a toothbrush factory.
Uh, PJ's.
PJ and Toothbrush Emporium.
The one off 270?
Yep, family-owned and operated.
I can give you a tour if you want, but it caught fire.
Sorry!
but, um, can you put Craig on again, please?
No problem-omino!
Oh, my gosh. That was a close one.
Uh, well, Mom? Can I stay?
I don't know, Craig.
But, Mom, I'm actually playing with other kids,
and making friends here.
Isn't that... what you wanted?
I'm getting sleepover invitations left and right.
Please...
You can have your little sleepover
at your new friend's house.
But you better call me or your dad
if anything comes up, okay?
-Got it? -Got it.
We're having a sleepover!
-Sleepover! -I can't believe that worked!
So, what's for dinner?
Let mama see what she's got in her purse.
Wow! Thanks, Mom.
Mm.
You're pretty good at doing those voices, JP.
I'm pretty used to talking to grown-ups.
Wait, did you take apart your choco-roll?
Uh-huh.
It's a three-course meal.
and the cream for dessert.
You're so weird.
I'm tuckered out!
I guess we'd better get some rest then.
At first light tomorrow,
we'll head to the Raccoon drive-in,
and then eastwards to the ancient playground.
You guys,
I have a confession to make.
This is my first sleepover.
It's not a sleepover, it's a hideout.
Me too, actually.
What? For real?
Like, sleepovers? Yeah, once a week.
No big deal.
Pfft! Well, I've never been invited to one.
You know, probably because I do
better with books than other kids.
Books are easier to read.
I was actually supposed to go to a sleepover
at my friend Bryan's house.
But then we moved here.
First sleepover/hideout.
Okay, um, who do you have a crush on?
No, too soon. Okay, uh...
How about when you guys get to The Wishmaker,
what are you going to wish for?
Oh, maybe muscles?
Bigger muscles.
Um, well...
I've always wanted to be like the brave knights
and noble warriors in my books,
you need something to fight for.
I guess I wish I had something like that.
Wow! Okay, so...
The obvious one for me is infinite wishes.
But if I only had one, well, you know, I...
I've never felt like I really fit in with the other kids my age.
I've just never, like, been into the things they're into,
which is fine.
who, like, understood me, like, like me for who I am.
Which is why I would wish for clones.
Clones of myself. Like a whole softball team of JPs,
'cause, look, I mean, who's gonna be better
at understanding me than more mes.
And then if you had a lot, you know, if you lost one
in a flood or something,
it'd be... it'd be not a big deal.
What about you, Craig?
Huh? What?
What are you gonna wish for?
Oh, um...
Probably to go back home... to get a million choco-rolls.
Man, am I hungry.
May... maybe a little less heartfelt than the other wishes,
but life is about the simple pleasures.
Get those choco-rolls, yeah?
Yeah. Uh, look, I'm getting pretty tired,
so I think I'm gonna go to sleep.
Sorry, but it's better this way.
I didn't come to the Creek to make friends.
I came to find a way home,
to my real home.
Hmph!
Well, I... I can steer it if nobody else wants to.
Whee!
-Will you roll over? -Man overboard!
-What? What's happening? -You were snoring like a Yeti.
Where's Craig?
Craig? Craig?
Oh! He ditched us!
Why would he do that? We're sleepover buddies.
I was this close to telling him who my crush is.
It's Belinda Doghouse.
We weren't sleepover buddies! And it wasn't a sleepover.
He was using us to get The Wishmaker!
Oh, hi, guys.
Captain, we found 'em.
Raccoon Drive-In.
This is it?
This is the ancient playground?
There's no slides, no swings.
There's just a bunch of messed up trees
and a rusty old merry-go-round.
The Wishmaker.
Hm.
It's a slide.
This should be fun.
Let me just ease my way down--
♪ I've got a splitting headache It hurts to think ♪
♪ It really stinks ♪
Ah!
Huh?
Whoa!
So this is the ancient playground.
It must have sunk into the sandbox.
Whoa!
Oh.
Probably right there.
Time to grab this thing and wish myself home.
What kind of sick game is this?
Wait a minute.
It's hopscotch.
Oh, I don't think I've ever actually played hopscotch.
Do you step on the one with or without the stone?
Oh, let me just see if I...
Well, that answers that.
Huh?
Oh, boy.
Gotta do this just right.
This place is more dangerous than I thought.
I better watch my step.
Ow!
Huh?
Ugh! Good thing this is a hand-me-down.
Okay, Craiggy. You got this.
Dang! I did that.
All right, I just gotta get up there.
Well, I didn't come this far
just to let a few monkey bars stop me.
Uh-oh.
Huh?
Dandelions.
Whoa.
The Wishmaker.
I can finally go home.
Hm.
Okay.
Got it!
Just gotta make my wish,
and then it's back to my real home,
Red. R-E-D.
They'll never believe I made friends with a warrior,
her deadly falcon,
Uh... Five.
One, two, three, four, five.
They'll never believe I already had my first sleepover,
and had the most fun I've ever had in my life,
Would they believe me?
Bryan didn't even remember my name.
Four.
One, two, three--
Craig!
Huh?
I'm sorry, buddy.
He's not our buddy, JP.
Ahh! Let go of me.
Don't go wishing anything stupid, kid.
Just hand it over.
Uh... Oh, my gosh! Behind you! A three-headed monkey.
What?
No!
Finally.
Thank you so much
for doing all the hard work fetching The Wishmaker for me.
You really are a lifesaver.
Now, how do those instructions go?
Red, five, four.
Don't do it, Serena.
Your wish, it's too dangerous.
It'll destroy the Creek,
Well, should've joined the crew when you had the chance.
Now, red.
R-E-D.
One, two, three, four.
I wish for this pathetic little Creek
to be as wild as the ocean.
It will be so.
Huh?
Everybody, run!
No.
The Creek, it's flooding.
Finally, it's happening.
Teach, Nessie, Kraken. Climb aboard.
It's time to set sail.
Uh, I think I hear my mom calling.
I'm getting out of here.
Wait. Where are you going?
Fine, leave!
I'll just wish for another crew.
How could you lead Serena right to The Wishmaker?
What? We didn't have a choice.
But they never would've found us
if you hadn't ditched us.
Why did you do that, Craig?
I though we were friends.
I thought we were friends too.
That's the problem.
I don't want new friends.
I don't want to like this place.
I wanted to wish myself back to my old home,
to my old friends, to my real friends.
I... I... I didn't...
Serena, give me your hand.
Serena, now!
- Ahh! - Serena!
Oh, my gosh!
She really did it.
No.
Oh, my gosh! This is terrible.
My socks are getting drenched.
You're worried about your socks?
The creek is being destroyed, and we're gonna die!
Well, if I'm gonna die, I don't wanna be squishing around when I do it.
What are we gonna do?
We're gonna stop this.
But how?
By getting The Wishmaker back.
We've got a ship and a pirate to steer it.
What? Me?
You were born to steer that big wheely-thingy.
No! No!
This quest is a fool's errand.
Look at this flood, Craig. It's hopeless.
Kelsey, think about the heroes in your books.
Would they retreat just because they thought
they couldn't win? No.
This is your home.
And now that I've met you both,
I want it to be my home too.
Because I've never had friends like you before.
but it's true.
So, what do you say?
You had me at hero,
then you won me at home,
then you said, "Friend."
What are we waiting for? Let's go!
First mate JP, set a course for over there.
I'm doing it.
I'm doing it!
Whoa!
Whoo!
Wow!
There it is. I see The Wishmaker.
Hold on!
Craig.
What?
I said, "Craig."
Serena, can't you see? Your wish is out of control.
I can't let you undo it, Craig.
I just can't.
Why are you helping him?
He can't possibly be paying you enough.
Kelsey smirked a smirky smirk.
She was no longer the hapless mercenary
the Creek kids called, "Weird bird girl."
Nay! She was Kelsey The Brave!
I'm not doing this for snacks.
I'm doing this to save my friends,
and to save the Creek!
Make the wish!
Red.
R-E-D.
Five. One, two, three, four, five.
What?
Huh?
Where am I?
Inside of The Wishmaker.
I wish.
What the heck is this?
These are the wishes of kids who came before us.
Each of these folds contains a wish.
Or a wish yet to be made.
Whoa.
Did you really think you could get rid of me?
I've been searching for The Wishmaker for too long.
I'm not gonna let you undo my wish.
I wish to be beautiful.
Huh?
What the--
Huh?
Oh, looking good, Craiggy.
I'm not gonna let you destroy the Creek.
I wish to be fast.
Huh?
Hm.
I wish to be strong.
Huh?
Uh-oh!
Uh, I need another wish.
I wish for laser eyes.
I wish to be invisible.
Huh?
Where'd she go?
Ow!
Got you! Ow! Cut it out!
I wish...
to be taller.
Hmph.
I wish I was Mr. Fluffy Boo-Boo.
Who--
Who would wish for this?
What are you gonna do with your widdle paws?
Huh?
Whoa!
What is this? Are we in a wish?
Yeah. Mine.
Huh?
Wait, I thought you wanted to flood the Creek?
Yeah, so I could sail away to here.
My home.
I had everything here.
Sunshine, palm trees,
my best friends right next door.
And the ocean in my backyard.
In the summer we'd get ice cream near the shops.
And ride our bikes by the twig huts.
That's what we called them.
My friends and I used to joke about
Oh!
And if a hurricane would come,
I'd get on my boat and let the ocean take me away.
But then my parents dragged me to this stupid town.
With no friends, no ocean,
and only this tiny Creek to play in.
I vowed to do anything I could
to get back there.
Yeah, that was my wish too.
I wanted to go back to my old home.
but it was everything to me.
When I first moved here, I hated this town.
Even the smell.
But in looking for a way to go back,
I did get to know this place.
And I realized that I was just scared.
And that maybe there's more for me here
than I thought.
And maybe there can be more for you too,
Huh?
Uh, what the--
What's happening?
It's your wish.
The Wishmaker...
it's being destroyed by the rain.
Help me!
Or else everyone in and outside the creek will be in danger.
We don't have much time.
We gotta find an empty fold.
One without a wish.
There.
Serena!
There's water shooting out everywhere.
How are we gonna get all the way up there?
I think I know how.
Craig.
We gotta make the wish now.
I... I wish...
Ahh!
I wish that...
...this flood
...would stop!
Mm.
The rain.
It's all over.
We did it, Serena. We saved the Creek.
No! My ship!
JP?
Craig!
Craig?
- Oh, my gosh! - Craig!
What happened?
and it looked like you disappeared.
And the... the rain. It just stopped, and...
You did it!
All of us.
It's over.
We were so young.
What?
Small Uncle!
Mm.
Ew!
Thanks, Craiggy.
Rawr!
Now I got you, Craig.
All right, your room is all ready.
It's perfect.
Welcome home, my guy.
Enjoy it, hon.
Dear, Hannah.
I know the move must've been hard.
You had to leave your home and the creek.
It's still pretty wild there,
but kids are having a lot more fun
without the pirates stealing their stuff all the time.
All right, y'all.
Some of the pirates
Do you accept apologies?
Mm. No?
How about donations?
Yeah.
Not all of them chose to stay though.
Ah, it's okay.
I don't need that thing anymore.
I spent so much time trying to control these waters,
maybe it's time I see what these waters can show me.
Give the Creek a second chance.
Who knows? Maybe it'll give me one too.
I think it will.
Hm.
Smell you later, kid.
Smell you later too, captain.
Thanks for leaving me your diary.
I'm not sure what you were wishing for,
but I wanna wish you good luck.
Yo, those garlic knots were sick!
-For me it's all about that Caesar salad. -Caesar salad.
Bernard.
Sometimes what you want can feel so far away.
But if you take a look around,
it might be closer than you think.
If you ever wind up back in Herkleton, you should look me up.
You'll know where to find me.
Sincerely, Craig of the Creek.
Hey, Craig.
So, what do you guys wanna do today?
Explore a dungeon, slay a dragon.
We could put a bunch of leaves on my tummy,
see which ones give me rashes.
But what do you think about making our own map
of the entire Creek?
-Yeah, we got nothing better to do. -Yeah, I've got, like,
three hours before dinner.
We could squeeze it in.
Let's go, then.
Yeah!
