×ÖÄ» Hey, Ally. Want to go to the zoo later and laugh at the monkeys?
×ÖÄ» Can't. I'm meeting a record label on Wednesday
×ÖÄ» and I still have to finish three songs for my demo.
×ÖÄ» And my dad's out sick, so now I have to watch the store, and...
×ÖÄ» Are you guys putting salami on cereal?
×ÖÄ» Yep. We couldn't decide if we
×ÖÄ» wanted breakfast or lunch, so we're having both.
×ÖÄ» We call it "Blunch".
×ÖÄ» Mmm.
×ÖÄ» Frosted crispy bites and salami.
×ÖÄ» Is there a better combination?
×ÖÄ» How can you eat that?
×ÖÄ» Oh, she's right. We forgot the mustard.
×ÖÄ» Mm.
×ÖÄ» Oh.
×ÖÄ» Guess who got a job as a Pioneer Rangers Troop Leader?
×ÖÄ» Let me rephrase that.
×ÖÄ» Guess whose mom forced her to get a non-paying job
×ÖÄ» as her brother's Pioneer Rangers Troop Leader?
×ÖÄ» Sorry. I know how much you don't like the outdoors.
×ÖÄ» Or your little brother.
×ÖÄ» I used to be a Pioneer Ranger.
×ÖÄ» But I got kicked out after a camping trip.
×ÖÄ» Apparently bird baths are for "Birds only".
×ÖÄ» One of my biggest regrets
×ÖÄ» is that I never earned a single merit badge.
×ÖÄ» Well, today hasn't been a total loss.
×ÖÄ» In addition to learning
×ÖÄ» how to make an outdoor bathroom out of rocks,
×ÖÄ» I actually booked Austin on "Video Countdown Live".
×ÖÄ» Awesome!
×ÖÄ» The video countdown thing. Not the outdoor bathroom thing.
×ÖÄ» You guys have to write a new song
×ÖÄ» because Austin's gonna be on "New Music Tuesday".
×ÖÄ» A new song for Austin by Tuesday?
×ÖÄ» I'm already working on three songs for myself.
×ÖÄ» A little trivia, know why they call it "New Music Tuesday?"
×ÖÄ» Because people play their new music and it's on a Tuesday?
×ÖÄ» Oh... you already know.
×ÖÄ» When the crowd wants more, I bring on the thunder.
×ÖÄ» 'Cause you've got my back, and I'm not going under.
×ÖÄ» You're my point, you're my guard.
×ÖÄ» You're the perfect chord.
×ÖÄ» And I see our names together on every billboard.
×ÖÄ» We're headed for the top, we've got it on lock.
×ÖÄ» We'll make 'em say "Hey!"
×ÖÄ» And we'll keep rockin'.
×ÖÄ» Oh, there's no way I could make it without ya.
×ÖÄ» Do it without ya, be here without ya.
×ÖÄ» It's no fun when you're doing it solo.
×ÖÄ» With you it's like, "Whoa". Yeah, and I know.
×ÖÄ» I own this dream.
×ÖÄ» 'Cause I got you with me.
×ÖÄ» There's no way I could make it without ya.
×ÖÄ» Do it without ya, be here without ya.
×ÖÄ» All right, rangers, if you want your Knot Tying Badge,
×ÖÄ» you're gonna have to be able to complete the Impossible Knot.
×ÖÄ» Please. Already finished.
×ÖÄ» Impossible Knot...
×ÖÄ» Impossible not!
×ÖÄ» It's easy to tie.
×ÖÄ» It's impossible to untie.
×ÖÄ» Aw man.
×ÖÄ» Hi, Trish. I'm here for the pie eater rangers.
×ÖÄ» Nelson, it's the Pioneer Rangers, not the pie eater rangers.
×ÖÄ» Aw, nartz.
×ÖÄ» You know how long it took to bake this key lime pie?
×ÖÄ» Oh, cool. You're having a Pioneer Rangers meeting.
×ÖÄ» Oh, I haven't been to one of those in years.
×ÖÄ» Mind if I join?
×ÖÄ» Sure.
×ÖÄ» Hey J.J., why don't you show Dez how to tie an Impossible Knot?
×ÖÄ» Why do they call it an Impossible Knot?
×ÖÄ» You'll see.
×ÖÄ» So Austin, how's the new song coming? The show's tomorrow night.
×ÖÄ» We haven't started yet, but I'm not worried.
×ÖÄ» Ally and I have written songs in a day before.
×ÖÄ» So Ally, when can we start?
×ÖÄ» Well, I still have to finish my songs for my demo,
×ÖÄ» but I think I could squeeze you in at 4:30.
×ÖÄ» - Great. - A.M.
×ÖÄ» Not so great.
×ÖÄ» I know. Why don't I just write the song?
×ÖÄ» Are you sure? You've never written a song by yourself before.
×ÖÄ» Maybe it's time I did.
×ÖÄ» Austin, I can help you with your song and then finish mine.
×ÖÄ» No no. You've got too much to do.
×ÖÄ» Seriously, I can write a song.
×ÖÄ» I've been learning from the best songwriter in the business.
×ÖÄ» Can't argue with that. But still...
×ÖÄ» Ally. I'm Austin Moon. I can do anything.
×ÖÄ» Oh yeah.
×ÖÄ» Can you untie an Impossible Knot?
×ÖÄ» Why don't you just use these scissors?
×ÖÄ» Oh yeah. Duh.
×ÖÄ» I would have brought them to you.
×ÖÄ» Oh.
×ÖÄ» Okay, Austin. I got you a
×ÖÄ» couple of things to help you with your songwriting.
×ÖÄ» Here's some paper and some
×ÖÄ» pencils for you to write down your ideas.
×ÖÄ» I sharpened them.
×ÖÄ» Cool. Thanks.
×ÖÄ» Oh, and I packed you a lunch and some snacks.
×ÖÄ» Ally, I'm not a little kid.
×ÖÄ» Ooh, pudding!
×ÖÄ» I'll be fine.
×ÖÄ» Hey, buddy. How's the songwriting going?
×ÖÄ» Oh! Pudding!
×ÖÄ» So, how's the songwriting going?
×ÖÄ» Let me show you what I have so far.
×ÖÄ» That's all I got.
×ÖÄ» Can I be honest?
×ÖÄ» I think it still needs a lot of work.
×ÖÄ» What am I gonna do? I
×ÖÄ» need a song by tomorrow, and I have nothing.
×ÖÄ» I know you can write a song.
×ÖÄ» You just need someone to bounce ideas off of.
×ÖÄ» Huh? Try me.
×ÖÄ» Okay. Let's start with the melody. What do you think of this?
×ÖÄ» - Man, that's "The alphabet song".
×ÖÄ» - Yeah, but it's really catchy.
×ÖÄ» A, b, h, I...
×ÖÄ» J, k, z...
×ÖÄ» W, x...
×ÖÄ» P.
×ÖÄ» E-e-e...
×ÖÄ» How does painting your nails earn us a Lifesaving Badge?
×ÖÄ» My regular mani-pedi girl is out sick today.
×ÖÄ» So you guys are totally lifesavers.
×ÖÄ» I think you just need some inspiration.
×ÖÄ» Let's go see a horror movie!
×ÖÄ» Hey, Austin. Jett Deely just called to say he's really excited
×ÖÄ» that you're performing on "Video Countdown Live" Tomorrow.
×ÖÄ» So how's the new song coming?
×ÖÄ» Great. I'm almost finished.
×ÖÄ» Yep. Except for the music, the lyrics,
×ÖÄ» and a song title, it's pretty much done.
×ÖÄ» Well, you better get cracking.
×ÖÄ» All right, troop. Who wants to earn their Science Badge?
×ÖÄ» Cool! Are we going to a museum?
×ÖÄ» Nope. But you get to do my science homework.
×ÖÄ» You're kind of lazy, aren't you?
×ÖÄ» Let's go.
×ÖÄ» So...
×ÖÄ» Should we go see that horror movie?
×ÖÄ» I don't think anything's gonna help.
×ÖÄ» Don't give up now. Always remember the Pioneer Ranger motto.
×ÖÄ» - What is it? - I have no idea.
×ÖÄ» Let me check the handbook.
×ÖÄ» - - Oh.
×ÖÄ» "Be strong, be brave, always behave.
×ÖÄ» Be loyal, be kind, leave no ranger behind".
×ÖÄ» Hey, that almost sounds like a song.
×ÖÄ» Maybe there's something in that book that will inspire us.
×ÖÄ» Well, it took all night, but we finished it.
×ÖÄ» Yep. I didn't think we'd get through a whole case of pudding.
×ÖÄ» But we did.
×ÖÄ» No, the song. Let's play it one more time.
×ÖÄ» If you're alone in the woods, and you feel you're in danger...
×ÖÄ» What do you do?
×ÖÄ» - Look for a ranger. - Look for a ranger.
×ÖÄ» Woo.
×ÖÄ» Awesome. You know where that song would sound great?
×ÖÄ» At a Pioneer Rangers meeting.
×ÖÄ» You know where that song won't sound great?
×ÖÄ» On live TV in front of a million people.
×ÖÄ» Hey, buddy. Look on the bright side.
×ÖÄ» I found another cup of pudding.
×ÖÄ» Splitsies?!
×ÖÄ» What am I gonna do, Dez? I don't have a song to perform tonight.
×ÖÄ» Just tell Ally you need her help.
×ÖÄ» I can't. I made such a big deal that I could write on my own.
×ÖÄ» I'm Austin Moon. I'm supposed to be able to do anything.
×ÖÄ» So just tell her you're not Austin Moon.
×ÖÄ» Why'd you take my fork?
×ÖÄ» I'm trying to get my Recycling Badge.
×ÖÄ» Want it back?
×ÖÄ» You want me to use a dirty fork out of the trash?
×ÖÄ» I'm not an animal.
×ÖÄ» If you're too proud to ask for Ally's help,
×ÖÄ» you need to figure out a way to get her to offer her help.
×ÖÄ» How do I do that?
×ÖÄ» Just play her the horrible song you wrote.
×ÖÄ» She'll feel so bad that you failed,
×ÖÄ» there's no way she won't help you.
×ÖÄ» And boy did you fail miserably.
×ÖÄ» Hey, we wrote that song together.
×ÖÄ» Oh yeah.
×ÖÄ» Now that you mention it, the parts I wrote weren't too bad.
×ÖÄ» Hey, Trish. I did it.
×ÖÄ» I finished writing all the songs for my demo.
×ÖÄ» That's great, Ally.
×ÖÄ» Hey, these rangers are about to earn their Chore Badges.
×ÖÄ» Got anything you want washed, polished, or cooked?
×ÖÄ» We're supposed to be Pioneer Rangers.
×ÖÄ» Not your personal assistants.
×ÖÄ» Yeah.
×ÖÄ» If you don't teach us some survival skills, I'm gonna tell mom.
×ÖÄ» Here's a survival skill.
×ÖÄ» Tell mom and you won't survive.
×ÖÄ» - We'll go do your laundry. - Mm-hmm.
×ÖÄ» You really have a way with kids.
×ÖÄ» It's the wrong way, but it's a way.
×ÖÄ» Ally! I did it. I wrote a song.
×ÖÄ» I am so proud of you, Austin.
×ÖÄ» You said you didn't need my help, and you didn't.
×ÖÄ» I remember.
×ÖÄ» Because I made a pretty big deal about it.
×ÖÄ» Here, I'll play it for you.
×ÖÄ» We want your honest opinion.
×ÖÄ» If there's any little thing you want to have changed,
×ÖÄ» even if it's the whole song...
×ÖÄ» Feel free.
×ÖÄ» If you're alone in the woods,
×ÖÄ» and you feel you're in danger.
×ÖÄ» What do you do?
×ÖÄ» - Look for a ranger. - Look for a ranger.
×ÖÄ» If you're kicked by a moose, don't call a stranger.
×ÖÄ» What do you do?
×ÖÄ» - Look for a ranger! - Look for a ranger!
×ÖÄ» Wow.
×ÖÄ» That's...
×ÖÄ» Your song.
×ÖÄ» It uh, rhymes.
×ÖÄ» So what do you think?
×ÖÄ» I...
×ÖÄ» Love it. It is so catchy.
×ÖÄ» So is chicken pox.
×ÖÄ» Trish.
×ÖÄ» Can I talk to you for a sec?
×ÖÄ» You can't make fun of Austin's song.
×ÖÄ» It's terrible.
×ÖÄ» I know, but it's the first
×ÖÄ» song he ever wrote by himself, and he loves it.
×ÖÄ» Well, if he performs that song on live TV,
×ÖÄ» his career will be crushed.
×ÖÄ» And I can't believe Ally liked the song.
×ÖÄ» She was supposed to hate it and then write me a new one.
×ÖÄ» Well...
×ÖÄ» She is the songwriter.
×ÖÄ» Maybe it's better than we think?
×ÖÄ» Maybe.
×ÖÄ» - No way. - It's terrible.
×ÖÄ» Austin?
×ÖÄ» I have something horrible to tell you.
×ÖÄ» Your song is...
×ÖÄ» Awful!
×ÖÄ» Just terrible.
×ÖÄ» And why are you so happy about that?
×ÖÄ» I'm not! I just figured if I said it with a smile on my face,
×ÖÄ» it wouldn't hurt your feelings as much.
×ÖÄ» Huh. Kind of worked. Weird.
×ÖÄ» Look, I know the song stinks.
×ÖÄ» Can you help me write a new one before the show tonight?
×ÖÄ» Austin, there's not enough time.
×ÖÄ» But I just finished my demo songs.
×ÖÄ» Maybe you can use one of those.
×ÖÄ» - I can't take one of your songs.
×ÖÄ» - Austin, really. I want you to.
×ÖÄ» No, really. I can't. These songs are too girly.
×ÖÄ» "Putting on my makeup for a night on the town.
×ÖÄ» Crushing on a boy, I hope he's around".
×ÖÄ» Yeah. It sounds better when I sing it.
×ÖÄ» Maybe I just have to call "Video Countdown Live"
×ÖÄ» and come up with an excuse to get out of doing the show.
×ÖÄ» Oh, I've got a great excuse for you. Tell them your grandma...
×ÖÄ» Got abducted by an alien.
×ÖÄ» Well that's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard.
×ÖÄ» Oh yeah?
×ÖÄ» Tell that to my grandma.
×ÖÄ» Well, I wish I could help you figure this out,
×ÖÄ» but I have to go take the rangers camping.
×ÖÄ» That's it. Austin, just tell Jett Deely you have to reschedule,
×ÖÄ» because you're volunteering with a Scout Troop.
×ÖÄ» That's good, Ally. Man, you're getting good at lying.
×ÖÄ» I know! Oh no.
×ÖÄ» Okay. Great.
×ÖÄ» What did he say?
×ÖÄ» Well, he bought the story that I'm taking the kids camping.
×ÖÄ» - That's great. - What a relief.
×ÖÄ» - Problem solved. - And since I can't come to the show,
×ÖÄ» he's bringing the show to me.
×ÖÄ» He's gonna film me singing my new song at the campground.
×ÖÄ» - That's awful. - We're doomed.
×ÖÄ» We're going camping! Woo!
×ÖÄ» Are you sure you can't use
×ÖÄ» one of the new songs I've been working on?
×ÖÄ» Wait. How about this one?
×ÖÄ» Driving in my car, top rolled down.
×ÖÄ» Hanging with my friends, night on the town.
×ÖÄ» I'm a girl, I'm a girl.
×ÖÄ» I'm a girl.
×ÖÄ» Okay, maybe you can't.
×ÖÄ» What am I gonna do? Jett's
×ÖÄ» gonna film me in like two hours at the campsite.
×ÖÄ» Check it out. Still fits.
×ÖÄ» Aren't you a little old to be a Pioneer Ranger?
×ÖÄ» Hey, from a boy to a man,
×ÖÄ» you're a Pioneer Ranger as long as you stand.
×ÖÄ» I'm ready to go camping.
×ÖÄ» Aw, nartz.
×ÖÄ» - What's wrong? - Nothing!
×ÖÄ» My Teddy Bear's name is Nartz.
×ÖÄ» Aw, nartz.
×ÖÄ» Why are you making me bring our whole house?
×ÖÄ» We're only staying one night.
×ÖÄ» We're staying there overnight?
×ÖÄ» You're gonna have to go back and get my bed.
×ÖÄ» When we get to camp,
×ÖÄ» you can't just watch TV and take a bubble bath.
×ÖÄ» We have badges to earn, like bird calling, and music.
×ÖÄ» Hey. Those badges give me an idea.
×ÖÄ» Oh, me too. I love calling birds.
×ÖÄ» Hello, Miami zoo?
×ÖÄ» No. The Music Badge.
×ÖÄ» Austin, you can tell Jett Deely
×ÖÄ» you wrote "The ranger song" As a gift for the kids.
×ÖÄ» I can teach the troop to sing backup for you.
×ÖÄ» That's a great idea.
×ÖÄ» Rangers, line up.
×ÖÄ» Let me try that again.
×ÖÄ» Get in a line before I make you drop and give me 20!
×ÖÄ» And not push-ups. Dollars!
×ÖÄ» Move it!
×ÖÄ» Austin, what are you doing?
×ÖÄ» I don't know. She scared me.
×ÖÄ» Did I do this right?
×ÖÄ» Aw, nartz.
×ÖÄ» Looks good to me.
×ÖÄ» - Nelson! - Nelson!
×ÖÄ» Dez!
×ÖÄ» You used all the marshmallows for our S'mores.
×ÖÄ» I'm making an authentic
×ÖÄ» marshmallow teepee like some Native American tribes.
×ÖÄ» Austin Moon.
×ÖÄ» Ready to go live?
×ÖÄ» Uh, yeah. Sure. Just give me a few minutes to...
×ÖÄ» And we're live. I'm Jett Deely.
×ÖÄ» Countdown Live's New Music Tuesday...
×ÖÄ» We're broadcasting from the Pioneer Ranger campsite,
×ÖÄ» with special guest Austin Moon.
×ÖÄ» Great to be here, Jett. I'm
×ÖÄ» gonna sing a special song I wrote for these kids.
×ÖÄ» Keep that in mind when you hear it.
×ÖÄ» Austin Moon is so generous.
×ÖÄ» Oh hey, there is Ally Dawson, Austin's songwriter.
×ÖÄ» Didn't write this one.
×ÖÄ» And I'm not his manager for this one either.
×ÖÄ» And I'm not his friend for this one either.
×ÖÄ» Okay. Ready, rangers?
×ÖÄ» If you're alone in the woods, and you feel you're in danger.
×ÖÄ» What do you do?
×ÖÄ» - Call a Pioneer Ranger! - Call a Pioneer Ranger!
×ÖÄ» If you're kicked by a moose, don't call a stranger.
×ÖÄ» What do you do?
×ÖÄ» - Call a Pioneer Ranger! - Call a Pioneer Ranger!
×ÖÄ» If your bike's got a flat, and you need a tire changer.
×ÖÄ» What do you do?
×ÖÄ» - Call a Pioneer Ranger! - Call a Pioneer Ranger!
×ÖÄ» A Pioneer Ranger!
×ÖÄ» Yeah!
×ÖÄ» Woo!
×ÖÄ» - That was an awesome song, Austin. - Woo!
×ÖÄ» All right. That's Austin
×ÖÄ» Moon with a song he wrote just for the kids.
×ÖÄ» - Thanks for having me. Had a lot of fun.
×ÖÄ» - Well hey, the fun's just getting started.
×ÖÄ» Huh? I thought that was all the fun.
×ÖÄ» When we come back, Austin's gonna sing his real new song.
×ÖÄ» Back live in two minutes.
×ÖÄ» What am I gonna do?
×ÖÄ» Hey, when your career's in danger, you know what to do.
×ÖÄ» Call a Pioneer Ranger.
×ÖÄ» Wait. That's it.
×ÖÄ» We can use the Pioneer Rangers
×ÖÄ» to stall Jett and his crew and stop the broadcast.
×ÖÄ» Great idea.
×ÖÄ» Hey, Jett.
×ÖÄ» J.J. Wants to show you his Impossible Knot.
×ÖÄ» Ooh.
×ÖÄ» You're getting good at being bad.
×ÖÄ» I know! Oh no.
×ÖÄ» Very impressive, kid.
×ÖÄ» Oh, okay. Now untie me.
×ÖÄ» Sorry, dude. I haven't earned my untying badge yet.
×ÖÄ» Guys, come help me out over here.
×ÖÄ» There are some scissors in that tent over there.
×ÖÄ» Nelson, why don't you show them?
×ÖÄ» This will work. We just have
×ÖÄ» to keep them occupied till the show's over.
×ÖÄ» I just hope the show's over before
×ÖÄ» that bear finishes eating my marshmallow teepee.
×ÖÄ» He looks hungry.
×ÖÄ» - - Bear?!
×ÖÄ» Run for your lives!
×ÖÄ» We can't just leave Jett tied up here. What do we do?
×ÖÄ» If it's a black bear, you're supposed to make a lot of noise.
×ÖÄ» If it's a brown bear, you play dead.
×ÖÄ» - What color is it? - I think it's black.
×ÖÄ» Ah!
×ÖÄ» Or maybe it's dark brown.
×ÖÄ» Making noise!
×ÖÄ» Playing dead.
×ÖÄ» Making noise!
×ÖÄ» Playing dead.
×ÖÄ» Making noise!
×ÖÄ» Playing dead.
×ÖÄ» - -
×ÖÄ» - Ah! - Run!
×ÖÄ» Help! Still tied up here.
×ÖÄ» Oh!
×ÖÄ» Quick, untie me.
×ÖÄ» You're in luck, because I spent all night last night
×ÖÄ» learning how to untie the Impossible Knot.
×ÖÄ» Faster!
×ÖÄ» You're in luck because I spent all last night...
×ÖÄ» No, untie me!
×ÖÄ» Woo. That was a close call.
×ÖÄ» I'm glad Jett and the rangers all made it out.
×ÖÄ» I guess you could say we "Bear"Ly escaped.
×ÖÄ» Too soon?
×ÖÄ» No amount of time will make that funny.
×ÖÄ» Look, I'm really sorry that I didn't have
×ÖÄ» enough time to help you write your new song.
×ÖÄ» I get it. You've got your own music to focus on now.
×ÖÄ» We'll just have to figure out how to make this work.
×ÖÄ» I hope so, because...
×ÖÄ» I'm always gonna need you, Ally.
×ÖÄ» That's so sweet, Austin.
×ÖÄ» Bear hug?
×ÖÄ» I can't imagine writing songs without you.
×ÖÄ» It would be un"Bear"Able.
×ÖÄ» How many more of those bear jokes do you have?
×ÖÄ» Eh, six or seven.
×ÖÄ» All right, J.J.,
×ÖÄ» here's your Knot Tying Badge, your Music Badge...
×ÖÄ» And your pretty cool Little Brother Badge.
×ÖÄ» Thanks, sis.
×ÖÄ» Oh, by the way, I need you to hike my tub and TV back home.
×ÖÄ» I knew there was a catch.
×ÖÄ» Nelson, you're next. Here is your Track and Field Badge.
×ÖÄ» - When that bear showed up, you... - Cool!
×ÖÄ» Really ran fast.
×ÖÄ» My turn!
×ÖÄ» And now for our honorary Pioneer Ranger.
×ÖÄ» We've got the Music Badge, the Recycling Badge...
×ÖÄ» The Architecture Badge, and the Lifesaving Badge.
×ÖÄ» Finally. I got my merit badges.
×ÖÄ» Woo!
×ÖÄ» Run for your lives!
×ÖÄ» Ah!
