June: Art… Ancient Greek and Roman Mosaics.

Quincy: And…

[Eine Kleine Nachmusik plays]

Leo: Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The scene starts at Leo and Annie's house at nightfall for camping.

Quincy: Hi, I'm Quincy. It's nighttime. My friends and I are camping out. Look! Rocket made a tent for us.

Rocket: [Jingles]

Annie: Hi!

June: Hello!

Leo: Hi there!

Quincy: June brought her telescope so we could look at the stars and the moon. But where is the moon? Where? Yeah, there's the moon.

[Eine Kleine Nachmusik plays]

June: Wow, the moon looks marvelous.

Quincy: I wish the moon could see us. Hello, moon, look at me! I'm Quincy.

Annie: I don't think the moon can hear you, Quincy. The moon is very far away.

Quincy: Maybe the moon will hear me if I play my violin.

[Playing Eine Kleine Nachmusik on violin]

[The moon shines moonlight on Quincy]

Leo: Look at that! It worked! The moon sees Quincy!

Annie: Quincy! The moon is saying hi to you!

All except Quincy: Hooray!

Annie: Do it again, Quincy!

June: Yeah, we want the moon to see us.

[Eine Kleine Nachmusik continues]

Annie: ♪See the Moon. I hope the Moon sees me!♪

All: ♪See the Moon. I hope the moon sees me!♪

[The moon begins to shine moonlight on the following:]

Quincy: The moon sees… Annie.

Annie: The moon sees Leo.

Leo: The moon sees June.

June: The moon sees Rocket.

All: The moon sees you! Hooray!

June: The moon is shining so brightly.

Leo: Let's wave to the moon.

Leo: Hi, moon!

Annie: The moon sees everybody!

[Clarinet playing]

Quincy: I hear something.

Annie: It sounds squeaky.

Leo: Look, it's a little mouse.

Quincy: Hello, Little Mouse. I'm Quincy.

Annie: He's so cute.

Leo: What's he holding?

June: Oh, wow! He's got a present.

Quincy: Little Mouse, who's that present for?

Annie: It's a present for the moon!

Leo: Oh, that's so nice, Little Mouse.

June: I'm sure the moon will love your present.

Quincy: I'll help you, Little Mouse. I'll use my violin to call to the… Moon?

[The moon is going away]

Quincy: Moon!

June: Uh-oh.

Leo: The moon already left.

June: Do you see where the moon went? Oh, yeah, look!

June: The moon is going behind that far, far, far away mountain. The moon went all the way to the Matterhorn in Switzerland.

Annie: Wait, moon! Come back! Little Mouse has a present for you!!

Leo: It's too late.

June: The moon is so far away, she can't hear us now!

[Little Mouse jingling sadly]

Quincy: Aw, Little Mouse. You really, really want to give your present to the moon, don't you?

Quincy: Well, we can help you.

Quincy: We'll get you to that mountain.

Quincy: Then you can give your present to the moon.

Quincy: Will you help Little Mouse get to the mountain so he can give his present to the moon?

Quincy: Great!

Leo: We've got a mission.

[Baton jingles]

Leo: We have to get Little Mouse to the mountain, so he can give his present to the moon. To Rocket!

All: We've got a mission.

Leo: Come on.

Leo: Welcome aboard.

Leo: Buckle your seatbelts.

All except Leo: Seatbelts buckled!

Leo: Prepare for blast off!

Leo: We're going to need a lot of power to blast off.

Leo: Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Leo: June is patting.

Leo: Quincy's patting.

Leo: Annie's patting.

Leo: Little Mouse is patting his paws.

Leo: But we need more power!

Leo: Put your hands on your lap and pat with us.

Leo: Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Leo: Faster!

Leo: Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Leo: Now raise your arms as high as you can and say Blast off!

All: Blast off!

Annie: Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!

All: Whoa!!

Leo: Come on!

Leo: We've got to help Little Mouse get to the mountain so he can give his present to the moon.

Annie: ♪See the Moon. I hope the Moon see me!♪

June: Leo, we need to hurry and get to the mountain before the moon goes down.

[Music Playing]

Quincy: I hear something.

Annie: Look! It's the musical roller coaster.

Leo: That will help us go fast. Rocket, to the roller coaster!

All: Whoa!

Quincy: Zoom!

Annie: ♪We are flying high through the sky! Me, oh, my!♪

All: ♪Then we feel our Roc…ket… Jump!♪

June: What was that?!

Leo: Check out that sign. Staccato.

Quincy: Oh, yeah. Look at those big bumps on the track.

Quincy: The music is staccato, all right.

Leo: Let's keep going, but we're going to have to be on the lookout for more stacatto music.

Quincy: Staccato? I don't see staccato.

Leo: We need your help. Can you say, staccato? Say, staccato. Great. If you see any bumps in the music track, say staccato.

[Bridge of Eine Kleine Nachmusik plays; staccato]

Leo: Staccato? Okay, team, hang on tight.

Annie: ♪We are flying high♪

All: ♪Through the sky! Me, oh, my!♪

All: ♪Then we feel our Rocket Jump!♪

June: Whee!

Leo: Whoa!

Quincy: Big bump! Staccato!

Leo: Keep watching. Remember, if you see any bumps in the tracks, say staccato.

[Bridge of Eine Kleine Nachmusik plays; staccato]

Leo: Staccato? Yikes! Hang on, team. The tracks are going to get very staccato.

Annie: Sing with us!

Annie: ♪We are flying high♪

All: ♪Through the sky! Me, oh, my!♪

All: ♪Then we feel our Rocket Jump!♪

All: Whoa!

Leo: Oh, no! Little Mouse's present for the moon! It's falling, falling, falling! Go, Rocket, go!

June: Open, close.

June: Open, close.

June: Quick, help Rocket catch Little Mouse's present.

June: Open your hands like the grab-nabber.

June: Stretch your fingers.

June: Now close them.

June: Open, close.

June: Open, close.

June: Open, close.

June: Open, close.

Annie: Did Rocket get the present?

Annie: Yes.

All: Hooray for Rocket.

Leo: He got it.

June: Thanks for helping.

Quincy: There you go, Little Mouse.

June: Look, we're getting closer to that mountain.

Leo: And the moon.

Annie: Yes, but first we have to go through the dark, spooky forest!

All except Annie: Dark, spooky forest?

All: Ooh!

[Little Mouse is going to be brave as he carries the present while entering the dark, spooky forest]

Leo: Don't worry, guys. We can get through this dark, spooky forest as long as we stick together.

Quincy: Hey! I don't see Little Mouse.

Leo: Which way did Little Mouse go? Into the dark, spooky forest? Oh, no. Come on! He went in all by himself. We've got to find him!

Annie: Little Mouse, wait!

All: Ooh, dark and spooky.

June: Little Mouse sure is brave to run in here all by himself.

Quincy: That little guy will do anything to bring his present to the moon.

Annie: Little Mouse, where are you?

[All music playing of a lot of animals]

Quincy: I hear a lot of animals, but they don't sound like Little Mouse.

June: Uh-oh!

Leo: Hey, guys, I think there night be animals in this forest who will try to take Little Mouse's present!

[Clarinet playing Eine Kleine Nachtmusik]

Quincy: I think I heard him! This way. Do you hear Little Mouse? Yeah! He sounds like he's right nearby. Maybe he's behind in the grass.

[Violin and bass playing]

Leo: Does that sound like Little Mouse? No, it's crickets. Maybe he's hiding in the bushes.

[Flute playing]

Quincy: Does that sound like Little Mouse? No, it's a little bird. A nightingale.

Leo: Nightingales love to sing at night.

June: They are nocturnal.

Quincy: Maybe he's hiding by the tree.

[Clarinet playing]

Quincy: Does that sound like Little Mouse? Yes! It's the Little Mouse. And look, there he is.

Quincy: What's he doing?

June: He's hiding.

Annie: I wonder who he's hiding from. Oh, I see what animal he's hiding from. What animal is that? An owl. Right.

Leo: Yikes! Little Mouse is worried that owl will try to take his present for the moon.

Quincy: We need to help Little Mouse sneak past the owl.

June: I have a plan. We can sneak past the owl when he's not looking. Let's clap softly to the beat.

[Clapping softly to Eine Kleine Nachmusik]

June: Clap, clap, clap, clap. Can you clap softly to the beat with me? We have to be careful. When the owl opens his owl again, you have to stop clapping and freeze so the owl doesn't see us. Ready? Let's clap to the beat.

[Clapping in rhythm]

June: Clap, clap, clap, clap.

[All clapping; owl blinking]

June: Freeze!

[Silence; owl blinking]

June: Oh, that was close. The owl didn't see us. Keep clapping softly to the beat.

[Clapping continues; owl blinking]

June: Freeze!

[Silence; owl blinking]

June: Phew. The owl didn't see us. Come on. We can make it past him. Clap.

[Clapping continues]

Quincy: All right! We got past the owl!

June: Way to clap softly to the beat.

Leo: Look, Little Mouse found the way out of the forest.

Annie: Yay!

Quincy: Now we can found that mountain so you can give your present to the moon.

Quincy: I think he's excited!

Annie: Ooh, there are so many mountains.

Leo: You're right, Annie.

Leo: I don't see the mountain with the moon on top.

Leo: Do you see it?

Leo: Oh, yeah, there's the Matterhorn!

Leo: And there's the moon right behind it.

All: ♪See the Moon. I hope the Moon sees me!♪

[Little Mouse is excited]

All: Snow!

Rocket: [Jingles of his perfect plan for a transformation]

All: Super skis!

Leo: Great idea, Rocket. We can ski down this hill to the Matterhorn mountain. To Rocket! Hang on tight. We're… going… to… Ski!!

All: Whee!

All: ♪We ski to and fro through the snow! Here we go! Then we feel our Rocket Jump!♪

Quincy: What was that?

Annie and June: Snow bumps!

Leo: We're going to have to be careful. We need your help. If you see any bumps in the snow, say staccato,

[Bridge of Eine Kleine Nachmusik plays; staccato]

Leo: Staccato? Okay, team. Hang on tight!

All: ♪We ski to and fro through the snow! Here we go! Then we feel our Rocket Jump!♪

Annie: Big one.

Quincy: Whoa!

Leo: Wow!

June: Big bumps.

Quincy: Staccato.

Leo: Keep watching. Remember, if you see any bumps in the snow, say staccato.

[Bridge of Eine Kleine Nachmusik plays; staccato]

Leo: Staccato? Are the bumps big or small? Big? Hang on, team! We're going to have to bounce over the bumps.

Annie: Sing with us.

All: ♪We ski to and fro through the snow! Here we go! Then we feel our Rocket Jump!♪

All: Whoa!

Quincy: Whoa! Very staccato!

Annie: Thanks for helping.

Leo: Great skiing, Rocket.

Leo: Now we're ready to climb the Matterhorn mountain so Little Mouse can give his present to the moon.

Annie: But how are we going to get all the way up to the tippy top of the Matterhorn mountain?

Leo: I think Rocket has an idea!

[Rocket sees all gondola lifts]

Leo: Look, those gondolas go up high into the mountain. Great idea, Rocket!

Annie: Rocket's giving us a gondola ride.

All: Whee!

Leo: Ooh, it's hard to go so high.

Leo: Rocket needs more power.

Leo: Pat with us.

Leo: Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

All: ♪See the Moon. I hope the Moon sees me!♪♪

Leo: We made it! Good patting.

Quincy: Okay, Little Mouse. This is it. And I'm going with you.

Quincy: I'll make sure the moon sees you.

Quincy: Come on!

Leo: They made it to the top.

June and Annie: Hooray!

Annie: And look!

Leo: The moon.

Quincy: The moon didn't hear little mouse.

Annie: The moon is going down.

June: Quincy, hurry!

Quincy: We have to get the moon to see Little Mouse.

Quincy: She didn't hear us.

Quincy: We have to play forte.

Quincy: I need your help,

Quincy: Will you play your violin with me?

Quincy: Great.

Quincy: Play your violin with me.

Quincy: Fortissimo.

Quincy: Play your violin!

Quincy: Did the moon see Little Mouse?

Quincy: Yes!

Quincy: Go ahead, Little Mouse.

Quincy: Give your present to the moon.

Quincy: I wonder what's inside the box.

Quincy: It's stars!

Annie: Little Mouse gave stars to the Moon!

Leo: What a present!

June: They're so sparkly!

Quincy: Look, Little Mouse, the moon loves your present.

Quincy: And listen.

Quincy: All the nocturnal animals who stay awake all night, love your present, too.

Quincy: They're singing to the stars.

Quincy: They're singing to the moon.

All: Aww!!

Leo: Mission completion!

[Baton jingles] Leo: It's time for…the curtain call!

[Applause]

Leo: Let's clap for our team! Clap with us! Let's clap for Annie! Quincy! June!

Others: Leo!

All: Rocket!

[Rocket jingling]

Quincy: Little Mouse! Clap for Little Mouse!

Little Mouse: [Jingles]

June: Let's clap for the art! Clap for the Ancient Greek and Roman Mosaics!

Leo: And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: Let's clap really, really hard for the special music we've heard today!

["Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" playing]

Leo: "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" A Little Night Music Movement 1 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!

All: Yay, Mozart!

June: You've helped a lot today.

Quincy: Give yourself a hand. Go on, clap for yourself.

June: Bravo! Bravo!

Annie: Yay for you!

Leo: See you on the next mission!

[Little Mouse came at the stage and opens the present to reveal all stars]

All: Ooh!
