- Pear, it's your turn!
You playin' or not?
- Yeah, just a sec.
A moving van just pulled up next door.
- New neighbors!
Oh, we should invite them over to play Horse with us!
- Little Apple's right.
It's the neighborly thing to do.
(giggles)
- Hiya guys!
(record scratching) (fruits screaming)
My name is Bubblegum.
My family moved into the kitchen next door.
I was supposed to help my parents unpack the truck,
but they said I should go outside and get some air
which really means they're tired of hearing me talk
and want me to leave them alone for awhile.
Oh wow!
You guys have a basketball hoop in your kitchen?
We don't have a basketball hoop.
We do have a swimming pool though.
You guys like to jump rope?
- Wait!
- Do you guys know where the nearest pony lives
that I could ride?
- Um.
- Do you guys know if there's a bowling alley nearby?
I don't actually like bowling that much.
It's just that we had a bowling alley near our old kitchen,
and I'd always get free sodas
because it had a vending machine
that accidentally gave them away for free
if you jiggled the Dr. Pepper button just right.
Hey, where did everyone go?
Are we playing hide-and-go-seek?
That's like my favorite game.
Well my actual favorite game is Duck, Duck, Goose.
Okay no, that's a lie.
It's actually Freeze Tag,
but I sometimes like Tetherball.
(crickets chirping)
(cheerful music)
Grandma said that I was talking too much
and that I should go over and meet our new neighbors
and make some new friends.
And so I came over here to say hi,
and to tell you that I have two ferrets and three gerbils.
And the names of the ferrets are Furball and Muffin,
and the names of the gerbils are Snap, Crackle and Pop.
And if you guys wanna come over and see them sometimes,
you can, they're really nice except Crackle bites sometimes.
What are all your names?
- I'm Pear!
This is Orange.
And this is-- - I'm practicing
to break the world record
for the biggest bubblegum bubble ever blown.
My brother says I'll never be able to do it,
but my dad said I should go for it.
My mom said I should go for it, too.
I think they like it when I blow bubbles,
because it means I can't talk while I'm doing it.
But at the same time, they just might be
supportive of my dreams.
But hey, do you guys have grasshoppers here?
We had grasshoppers at my old kitchen,
and I caught 34 of them in a jar
and named them Dave, Sammy, Mister Crinkles, Roberto--
- Hey Bubblegum!
Maybe you could blow a bubble for us right now?
- Good call!
It'll keep her mouth occupied for awhile.
- Blow a bubble for you guys?
That's a really really great idea
because I haven't practiced much today,
and I should really stick to my regimen
if I wanna break the world record someday.
(Bubblegum gulps)
- Ugh, peace and quiet.
- Now, back to Horse.
What does everybody have?
I have an H.
- I have an H-O.
- I have nothing.
Not even hands. (giggles)
- Alright Pear, Orange is beating us.
We gotta get Orange a letter.
- You guys couldn't get me a letter even if you had a stamp.
(giggles)
- Don't worry, I have a great idea
for a super difficult shot you'll never be able to make.
Watch this.
(ball bouncing)
(ball slams) (record scratching)
- Huh? - Hiya guys!
- Wow, who knew the neighbor kid was such an airhead?
(giggles)
- This isn't even as big as I can get.
I can get way bigger if I have more gum,
but my mom says I should eat my vegetables
if I wanna get bigger someday.
But that's gross because vegetables taste gross.
And it also strikes me as a moral gray area,
because some of my best friends
at my old kitchen were vegetables.
- I can't shoot.
She's blocking the hoop.
- So bounce it off her.
- Okay.
- And then after I forgot to feed our dog,
my mom said, "Bubblegum, no more dogs in the."
(ball slams) Ow!
- Wow, nice shot, Pear!
Now you have to match it Orange!
- You're on.
Bubble or nothing. (giggles)
- And my brother got (ball slams) ow!
A new bike, but I had to ride his old one.
But that's okay because mom said (ball slams) ow!
That as soon as I, ow, can ride without training,
ow, wheels, I can pick out, ow, a new bike, ow, that is,
ow, any color I, ow, want.
(giggles)
- Pink is probably my favorite color, wait no that's a lie,
it's actually yellow but also blue sometimes and well, okay
it looks like the wind has decided it's time for me
to go home now but hopefully I will see you guys again soon
and we can catch some grasshoppers maybe.
Oh, that reminds me I forgot to tell you guys
the names of the rest of my grasshoppers.
There was Susan, Dia, Clint, Double Baggins, Renaldo,
Jiminy Grasshopper, Jan, Fran, Pan, Dan, Stan--
- Fan?
- Yep, one of them was named Fan.
And also there was Chan, San, Bam,
- No, fan!
(record scratches) (bubble pops)
(ominous music)
Uh oh, I think that really burst her bubble.
- Aw man, I popped.
Nobody tell my mom, please.
Pretty please with whipped cream on top.
She gets really embarrassed every time I pop.
- Let's scram before she starts talking again.
- Good call.
Huh? (record scratches)
- Ooh, Pop.
That reminds me of my gerbils.
I'm thinking of getting a fourth gerbil named Crispy
but I'm not sure, maybe a better name would be Pudding
or Biscuit or Sonny Bono--
(gum stretching)
Or maybe Moonbeams. - Can't!
Escape!
Stop! - Or Chicken Little,
or perhaps Steven Zorbit! (fruit screaming)
(folk guitar music)
