I'm scared.
The village is this way.
Shh. We must hide.
Hey, it's dark in here.
Dude, we're outside. Take that thing off.
It's my camping sleep mask.
Note the camouflage.
Thanks for coming, you guys.
Dude, thank you.
That we can hear the sound of our own souls.
Bring out the s'mores!
S'mores what?
S'mores.
S'mores what? S'mores.
S'mores what? S'mores!
Well, have fun kids. Haley and I are off
sorry you and dad aren't as bonded as mommy and I.
He's been looking forward to this trip for months.
Sure thing, mom. As long as
he doesn't do anything too embarrassing.
All righty, gang.
Let's saddle up and hit the trail.
Eee. Unh. Unh.
Looky what I found, gang.
Yeah. It's my old cougar scout uniform.
Cougar code states
roar. Respect, obey all rules. Roar!
All righty. Let's bust a move
and get this party started, y'all.
Aw, man.
Dragon up!
Whoa!
Ya heard!
Jake! Get back to work!
Aw, man.
Dad, do you really have to wear that old cougar uniform?
Well, I didn't have to, son, I wanted to.
I mean, imagine my surprise
when I tried this baby on,
and it still fit like a glove.
Another one's gonna blow.
Dad, could you maybe try to just be
a little more, you know, cool?
Jake, when have I ever been not cool?
Well... Ok, gang. Smiles!
Aah!
Whoa! Make it stop! Make it stop!
Don't worry about a thing, son.
This weekend your old man's
gonna be as cool as a cucumber?
Hey, speaking of cool, let's sing a song.
Dad, don't. I'm begging you.
Trixie and spud don't wanna sing some lame...
Jake, why aren't you singing?
Public domain songs make me nauseous.
Ha ha!
You know, car trips make me queasy, too.
At the all-you-can- eat pea soup place
on the way to grandma's.
Yeah. I ate 6 bowls of pea soup,
a green goddess salad, and a side of guac,
and, well, let's just say
was never quite the same after that.
No way. Ha. The same thing happened to me
on a road trip to Reno.
Everything was just so...
Whoa. You nailed it, Jake's dad.
Hey! Last one to the campsite is a rotten egg.
Hey, speaking of rotten eggs,
about the time I ate a batch of sour quiche?
Carrie's quiche-ateria, right?
Haley, you are going to love this.
Than a weekend at a nice, quiet, peaceful...
Buckle up, shut up, and listen up!
I think we may have boarded the wrong bus.
What part of...
You're leaving here soft and flabby,
but you're coming back rock hard!
Now first things first. We've set up the tents.
Lucky for you cougar cubs,
so there's no need to get all tense.
Tense 'cause it's, like, a play on words.
Ok, so what time is check-in at our hotel?
I wanna make sure we get a room near the ice machine.
Hotel? I don't think you get it, Trixie.
We're camping.
That means we sleep outside.
Outside? Like, on the veranda
you don't get out of the city much, do you, trix?
Seriously, though. On the real.
'Cause I'm not even playing with you no more.
Well, I guess the old tent assembly skills
are a little bit rusty.
I'm sorry, guys.
I know my dad can be ultra lame.
Yeah. If by ultra lame you mean ultra cool.
Papa dog's just doing his parent thing.
It's all love and gravy over here.
Yeah, well, if we don't do our own thing,
we're gonna be sleeping without a tent.
Dragon up.
Hwah! Ya! Hwah!
Well, shine my shoes and call me dapper.
You know, I knew you had cougar blood in you, son.
Now you know what would be a great thing
for cougar and his cub to do together?
Light a campfire.
I'll show you how, ok?
Well, stitch up my jeans and call me patchy.
I guess you got it covered there, cougie,
Must have another s'more.
No. Too full.
Must stop eating.
Cannot resist marshmallow goodness.
Ok. I'm trying to get hip
to the whole great outdoors thing,
but I do have one question.
Where's the ladies' room at?
'Cause I gotta go.
I gotta do what in the what what?
No. See, home girl's gonna hold it.
Don't stay up too late. I have got a full day
planned for tomorrow.
I can't wait.
The American dragon.
You've come to rescue us.
We are saved.
Whoa, whoa. Slow down. I... I...
Cougar code states mosquitoes suck your blood
and carry malaria.
Do your best to not let 'em scare ya.
Thank goodness for my cougar handy claw 2000.
Well, time for the old cougar good night.
Grr... Good night.
Are you ok?
Sorry about my dad.
You must help us.
Us? Who's us?
Follow me, American dragon. This way!
Welcome to the sprite village of avon.
Whoa. Check it out.
Do you think they have tiny cheese graters
or a tiny, little ladies' room perhaps?
Come. The village elders have been expecting you.
The stars tell us that once every 100 years
a great evil will rise from these woods
and attack our village for 7 consecutive nights.
The Jersey devil.
He will raid our crop supplies
and pillage our food stores,
leaving us to starve during the winter months.
Like, a little, tiny pizza or something?
I'd be happy to make you some s'mores if that would...
But the stars also tell us
that every 100 years,
a great hero will rise
to defeat this evil and save our village.
They're talkin' about your big, bad dragon business, boy.
Totally. You're their hero.
Ha. Yeah, that sounds about right.
I got some free space in the schedge next summer.
The stars are very specific about the time.
Let me take a wild guess.
It's coming tonight, isn't it?
Ok. Just to clarify, yo.
Do you or do you not have a bathroom?
Dragon up.
Hyah!
Unh! Unh!
Ha! Not bad, Jersey.
Now let's see how you like this.
He don't even know who he messing with!
Yeah, take that, buddy!
I am afraid it is not over.
The stars say that the creature
will return for 7 consecutive nights
unless... Unless I stop it.
Yo, I don't care if it's on the ground or what,
but Trixie needs some shut eye for real.
I need a good 8 hours of nice...
Quiet, peaceful...
Wakey, wakey! Eggs and bakey!
Come on, son. Up and at 'em.
Cougar scout code states
ain't no sleepin' once the sun comes a-peepin'.
I love that one.
Aw, man.
Ok. I'll just go explain that we're in the wrong place
why don't you let me talk to her?
Haley, that cute, little girl routine will never work.
We've gotta approach this thing with a firm...
Please, mommy.
Let's do some crunches!
Ok. Go for it, sugar bear.
Brussels sprouts await!
But I'm afraid my mom and I don't belong here.
That's what they all say, sister!
Now crunch!
You just cost yourself 3 Brussels sprouts.
Wanna go for 4?
That woman has ice in her veins.
This breakfast, papa dog...
Well, thank you there, t-cat, yo.
But, you know,
I can't take all the credit.
The cougar handy claw
has a cooking attachment.
Y-y.!
I have got a full day of cougar bonding planned.
That sounds great for you.
I'll be in my tent sleeping.
No, sirree, Bob.
In the great outdoors sleeping the day away.
We have got a lean-to to build,
brook trout to catch,
edible moss to forage for,
and animal droppings to identify.
Dad, on all that bonding stuff without me.
I have something I gotta do in the woods.
Gotcha.
Take a shovel, little man.
Not that kind of something, dad.
Trixie, spud, you coming?
Actually, dad's plan
sounds kind of cool. Ha.
You know me, I love foraging.
Yeah. I'm-a take my chances with papa dog.
Maybe we'll go hiking somewhere with indoor plumbing.
Fine. I'll catch up with you guys later.
Can you make s'mores with brook trout?
Sure thing, spudster.
They're called gilly snacks.
All right, Jake's dad. Rockin'!
Ooh.
Dragon, you came.
A few tiny beds you can push together for me?
I got some zs to catch up on in.
Zs? There's no time for zs
when that creature is approaching.
Who'll spend the day preparing?
Well, I guess that's better
than identifying animal droppings.
Ok. Here's what we gotta do.
We'll build a trap at the entrance of the village.
That way, when Jersey boy comes for his pantry raid,
we sprites are forever in your debt, dragon.
Hey, I'll this over foraging
for edible moss any day.
Hey, yo. I think I got a bite.
Unh, unh.
Whoa!
I got it! I got it! Whoa!
Easy now, girl. We've got ya.
Unh. Unh.
Yo, you think any of y'all sprites
can help a dragon out here?
Not that kind of help.
There's just so much beauty in the world.
I can't believe jakey is missing this.
A case of the cougar two-step, you know,
but now I'm... I'm starting to get
the feeling that he's avoiding me.
Nah, p-dog. It's not like that.
He's just, um, well, you know, he's just...
Aight. Peep this.
We'll go find him for you.
We'll get Jake and bring him back to camp
in time for dinner.
Dinner? They call that dinner?
A steamed turnip and a parsley sprig.
I know there's food in here somewhere.
There!
Now, Haley. I think a little dragon fire
might just melt that lock right off. What do you think?
But the man lady says that food is just a substitute
for feelings of inadequacy...
Tell that to someone
that didn't do 600 crunches today!
We're gonna get in trouble.
Put down the candied ham.
Run!
You're missing some serious bonding, dude.
In case you haven't noticed,
I have a whole village of sprites to protect.
Dad will have plenty of time
dude, you're embarrassing yourself.
Your dad's cool as a fan.
He showed us how to catch trout.
And how to prevent forest fires.
Wait. No, that was that bear...
You know, you're lucky to have this time with papa dog.
Since his air force unit got shipped overseas.
Man. Way to kill my sugar buzz, trix.
S'mores? S'mores?
Yeah. I guess I should go find my dad.
Speaking of the Jersey devil.
Yah! Ha! Unh!
Yah! Unh!
Listen, Jersey.
The stars already predicted me
giving you a heaping helping of hiney-whoop,
so why don't you just take a dive?
Whoa! Unh!
That thing is heading right for sprite village.
Dude, do you know what's right between here
and the sprite village?
Our campsite.
But... but... That means... Dad!
Dad! Dad! Can you hear me?
Hey, papa dog!
Mr. L.!
His scout uniform.
No! Dad!
That's it. This time, it's personal.
Dragon up.
That's just showing off.
Hey, yo, Jake. Wait up, baby.
Watch the light, Haley.
When does the relaxing part start, mommy?
When we get over that fence.
If my cute face had worked,
none of this would have happened.
Haley. This isn't your fault.
I'm the one who dragged you on the wrong bus
and then encouraged you
to use your dragon powers to break the rule.
Dragon powers.
Now that's what I call cute.
Can you do it?
Wow, mommy. You're really light.
I think you've lost some weight.
Come on out and fight like a man, you mutant.
Hiya! Hwah!
Ooh. Ha!
Ha ha!
Wa-ha!
Unh!
Unh. Unh. Ha. Unh.
Whoa!
There's more where that came from, Jersey.
Hiya! Unh!
Whoa!
Nobody messes with my son.
Eat bear spray!
Hunh!
Hold on there, Jake.
Dad, you're alive.
Mr. L., where have you been?
And what happened to your clothes, yo?
Well, when that bear attacked our camp,
I went into survival mode.
When evading a wild animal,
and cover yourself in mud to hide your scent.
That wasn't a bear. That was a...
Well, as soon as I saw it,
nothing's gonna happen to you on my watch, Jake.
Cougar scout code?
No. Father code.
Dad, do you think there still might be
enough time to do some of that
bonding you were talking about?
Well, heck yeah, son.
What do you say we sing another song
on our way back to camp?
Only if we get to choose the song.
Gotcha. Kick it, kids.
Bear.
A-wicky, wicky whoo.
Wicky whoo, whoo, whoo.
Psst. Hey, American dragon.
No. Not again.
Come with me. You must see.
We are dedicating a statue to our hero.
Guys, you really didn't have to do all this.
Behold!
Whoo!
My dad?
He is our greatest hero.
Yeah. Mine, too.
Home sweet home, cougar kids.
Bathroom!
Well, what a coinky-dink. Your mom's home.
How was the bonding weekend, girls?
Perfect. We had a wonderful,
bonding, life-affirming...
Are those s'mores?
Mommy! Save some for me.
Marshmallow heaven.
