== Transcript ==
(The episode starts by taking place outside of the Griswell residence and zooms into the bedroom window where Maraya and Ms. Carolyn are looking at her dolls)
Ms. Carolyn: And this is Bailey, the doll I was given last year by the school counselor.
Maraya: Wow, she is so lucky to be that small. I wonder what it would be like if we were small?
Ms. Carolyn: Hmm, I wonder, too? Well, let's go downstairs to the living room and talk about it.
(They walk away from her doll collection to go down to the living room. Setting changes to the living room)
Ms. Carolyn: If we were that small, then we could explore more around the house. (yawns) I'm getting sleepy. I think it's about time for a nap.
Maraya: Yeah. (yawns) I agree.
(She lies down so she can nap. Meanwhile, the scene changes to where their dream begins)
Ms. Carolyn: (yawns)
(When she tries to get off the couch, she falls down rapidly instead)
Ms. Carolyn: Aaaaahhhhh! Oof.
(After she falls, Maraya wakes up and sees her on the ground)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, are you okay?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, I'm okay.
Maraya: Phew, I'm glad you're okay. Now let me help you back up.
Ms. Carolyn: No, Maraya, don't. You'll fall off, too.
Maraya: Nonsense, I won't fall off.
(But when she is about to get off the couch, she falls, too)
Maraya: Uh oh. (screams) Aaaaahhhhhh! Oof.
Ms. Carolyn: Told you.
(While Ms. Carolyn is trying to get herself back on the couch, she asks her a question)
Maraya: Uh, why is the couch bigger than us?
Ms. Carolyn: It's because we're - we're -
Maraya: We're what, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: We're minuscule! (with Maraya) Aaaaahhhhh!
(While they are trying to get themselves back up on the couch, a song begins)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Oh, dear,
Oh, dear,
We’re minuscule
Now I’m thinking that we’re like fools🎵
Maraya: Are we really?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, we are!
Maraya: Are we really?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, we are!
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵We don’t know what to do
Because we have no clue
Oh, dear, we’re minuscule!🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵We can’t seem to do anything
Because we’re very small
Except for this song we’re singing
Will make us very tall🎵
🎵If we do something,
We won’t be small for long
With a sing-along song,
We won’t be so minuscule🎵
Both (singing): 🎵Oh, dear,
Oh, dear,
We’re minuscule
Now we’re thinking that we’re like fools🎵
🎵We don’t know what to do
Because we have no clue
Oh, dear, we’re minuscule!🎶
(The song ends)
Ms. Carolyn: What are we going to do? We're really small and we can't get back to our normal size.
Maraya: I don't know, but let's explore the house for now.
Ms. Carolyn: Great idea, Maraya.
(They both get off the couch to explore the house more)
Maraya: Look how bigger everything is than us.
Ms. Carolyn: Yeah. (climbs into the cupboard) I can fit in with my pots and pans.
(Maraya gets Ms. Carolyn out of the cupboard)
Ms. Carolyn: It's great to be small.
Maraya: Yeah.
(They continue running until suddenly, Maraya stops. Ms. Carolyn walks back to her and asks why she's stopped)
Ms. Carolyn: Why did you stop, Maraya?
Maraya: It's because...I'm hungry.
Ms. Carolyn: Yikes, we better find you some food as soon as possible. Now, where could we find some food?
(While she is thinking, the camera zooms into the fruit bowl on the counter)
Ms. Carolyn: Ah, there's some food, on that counter. But how are we going to get up there? We're much too small.
Maraya: I don't know. You should know because you're the genius.
Ms. Carolyn: You're right, I am. (thinking) Hmm...
(She thinks for a second until she has an idea)
Ms. Carolyn: I know. (sing-song voice) 🎵Oh, dolls?🎵
(The setting changes to Ms. Carolyn's bedroom. When they hear her voice, they come to life)
Bailey: Sounds like Carolyn needs our help. Come on!
(The other dolls follow Bailey to where she is. Setting changes back to the kitchen)
Bailey: Hi, Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: My, you look quite big.
Bailey: I am? Wow, how did you and your friend get so tiny?
Ms. Carolyn: I don't know, but we need your help. Can you get us onto that countertop up there?
Bailey: Sure. Come on, dolls, we need to get our two friends onto the countertop.
Kelsea: I can use my super ballet strength to lift you all up.
Bailey: Great idea. Kelsea, lift me up.
Kelsea: I'm on it.
(She lifts Bailey up off the ground)
Bailey: Okay, Shirley, now you can get our tiny friends and carry them in your hands.
Shirley: Okay!
(She runs to grab Maraya and Ms. Carolyn)
Shirley: Here, you can just ride on my back.
(They get on Shirley's back)
Shirley: Hold on tight.
(They climb on Kelsea and Bailey's backs until she gets to her shoulders)
Shirley: Here you go.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, Shirley. Thank you, Bailey. Thank you, Kelsea. Thank you, Rita.
Bailey: You're welcome, Carolyn and friend. Goodbye!
Ms. Carolyn: Bye-bye!
(They both walk to where the fruit bowl is located)
Ms. Carolyn: Now that we're on the countertop, let's eat some fruit, shall we?
Maraya: Yeah!
(They try to get a fruit out of the fruit bowl. The scene changes again to where they are finished)
Ms. Carolyn (groans): Oh, I don't think I can eat another bite.
Maraya: Me, either. I'm full. But the question is "How are we going to get down from here?"
Ms. Carolyn: Hm, I don't know. (sing-song voice) 🎵Oh, dolls?🎵
Shirley: You called us?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, because now we don't know how to get down.
Shirley: Well, don't worry. Kelsea will help you. She will try to jump all the way to the top so you can jump onto her.
Kelsea: All right, here I go.
(She tries to jump for the first time but isn't high enough)
Shirley: I don't think that's high enough, Kelsea.
Kelsea: Oh. Well, maybe I can try again.
(She jumps for the second time but higher but still doesn't succeed)
Shirley: Kelsea, you're not jumping high enough. Watch me.
(Shirley shows Kelsea her jumping until she stops her)
Kelsea: Shirley, I can do this. Trust me.
(She tries again one more time until she finally succeeded)
Kelsea: See? I told you I can get them down.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, Kelsea.
Kelsea: Oh, you're welcome. Well, we better get going. See you later!
Ms. Carolyn: See you later. (laughing)
(Some magic dust shines on them)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh.
(Moment of silence)
Ms. Carolyn: What's happening?
Maraya: I don't know.
(The magic dust continues doing its magic until it stops)
Ms. Carolyn: Look, we're not minuscule anymore. We're big again.
Maraya: Yay!
Ms. Carolyn: All right!
(Moment of silence)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵At first we were both minuscule,
so we called for help
I called my dolls to help us out
so we wouldn't pout🎵
🎵And now, look at us
We're no longer small
Oh, yes, we're big again🎶
(After the song ends, the dream also ends when they both wake up)
Both: Ah!
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, thank goodness it was just a dream.
Maraya: Yes, thank God.
(They both get up from the couch to walk to the kitchen)
Ms. Carolyn: Aren't you glad that we're big instead of small?
Maraya: Yeah, I am.
Ms. Carolyn: Me, too, because we don't have to struggle when we're big.
(But when they turn around, they see something shocking with the kitchen countertop)
Ms. Carolyn: Huh?
Maraya: Huh?
Ms. Carolyn: I wonder who left that big mess on the countertop?
Maraya: It wasn't us. because we were napping the whole time.
Ms. Carolyn (sighs): I know. Well, we better clean this mess up before Mr. Danny sees it.
Maraya (walks away): Yeah. Maybe one day we'll find out who really made this mess.
(Meanwhile, baby Rita magically flies up to the countertop to find the peeled banana and sucks on it. Then, Shirley flies to find Rita there)
Shirley: Rita, what are you doing sucking on that banana? You know that it could be a serious choking hazard. Here, let me get it away from you.
(The banana magically flies to Shirley's trash can and then goes down into it)
Shirley: There. Now I can keep you and the kitchen safe.
(The scene zooms into Shirley holding the trash can quickly as she winks at the camera. The scene does a pulsing circle effect to end the episode)
