(The episode starts by taking place outside of the Griswell residence and then zooms into their bedroom)
(Fanfare)
Ms. Carolyn: Wake up, Maraya.
Maraya: (yawns)
Ms. Carolyn: Good morning, Maraya. Are you ready to start our special day?
Maraya: Special day? What special day?
(Ms. Carolyn gets out a calendar to show her what their special day was)
Ms. Carolyn: National Best Friends Day, of course.
Maraya: National Best Friends Day? Is that even a real holiday?
Ms. Carolyn: Of course it's a real holiday. Just like Christmas and it only comes once a year.
(Maraya smiles)
Ms. Carolyn: Come on, let's get ready for our special day.
Maraya (gets out of bed): Okay.
(The scene changes to where they are downstairs in the kitchen)
Ms. Carolyn: Here, Maraya. I made you some hot tea since you don't like coffee.
Maraya: Thank you, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome.
(She walks away to sit down in her seat. Then she picks up her mug and says a special rhyme)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): To the best friends on this special day, let them have fun while they imagine and play.
(They crash each other's mugs and start drinking until they were done. The scene changes again to where they are about to brush their teeth)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, would you like to go first, or do you want me to go first?
(Maraya thinks for a second)
Maraya: How about if we can both go first?
Ms. Carolyn: What a great idea. Maraya, you always think of the best ideas.
Maraya: I sure do.
(They start brushing their teeth and then they brush their hair until they were ready)
Ms. Carolyn: There. We're all ready for our special day.
(They both get out of the bathroom to talk)
Ms. Carolyn: So, Maraya, what should we do today?
Maraya: I don't know. What do you think, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn (thinking): Hmm...
(She thinks for a second and gets an idea)
Ms. Carolyn: I know. How about if we can go to the city and explore?
Maraya: That's a great idea, Ms. Carolyn, but how are we going to get there?
Ms. Carolyn: You have to guess.
Maraya (thinking): Um, are we going to take your bus?
Ms. Carolyn: No. Plus, it's summertime. Who would ever drive a school bus in the summertime?
Maraya: You.
Ms. Carolyn (chuckling): No. Guess again.
Maraya (thinking): Are we going to take your car?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): No.
Maraya: Then how are we going to get to the city?
Ms. Carolyn: We're going to take a walk down to the city.
Maraya: But, Ms. Carolyn, that will take us ages to get there.
Ms. Carolyn: Not really. It will only take a few hours, trust me.
Maraya: Okay.
(The setting changes to the outside of Ms. Carolyn's house, where they are starting to walk while holding each other's hands. It changes to where they got to the city)
Ms. Carolyn: We finally made it. See? I told you it would take us a few hours.
Maraya: Yeah, I guess you were right.
(Some music plays in the background)
Ms. Carolyn: By the way, I made up a special song to sing for our special day and it goes like this.
(Ms. Carolyn starts singing the special song)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵La, la, la, la, la, la, la
What should we do today?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, 
Oh, what should we do today?🎶
🎵We could go see a movie,
Or play pretend,
Or dance around all day
We can do anything, if we try
To go imagine and play!🎶
🎵La, la, la, la, la, la, la, 
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, 
What should we (7×)
Oh, what should we do today?🎶
(Song ends)
Maraya: Wow, that was a great song, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Thanks, Maraya. I just love to sing!
Maraya: (chuckling)
(An elderly woman passes by)
Elderly woman: Good morning.
Both: Good morning.
(A dog walker passes by next)
Dog walker: Good morning.
Both: Good morning! (laughing)
(They see an antique shop nearby)
Ms. Carolyn: Here's an antique shop we can go into.
Maraya: Oh, boy! Antiques!
(They go into the antique shop to look around)
Maraya: Wow, look at all of these antiques!
Ms. Carolyn: Here's an antique music box, Maraya.
Maraya: Wow! An antique music box!
(Some pretty music from the music box plays)
Maraya: I like it. It sounds pretty.
Ms. Carolyn: Would you like me to buy it for you?
Maraya: Yes, please.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay.
(She walks up to the cashier)
Ms. Carolyn: Good morning. I would like to buy this antique music box, please.
Woman #1: That would be $5.00, please.
(Ms. Carolyn gives her a $5 bill)
Woman #1 (not seen): Thank you. (she is seen again) You have a great day.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you.
(They exit out of the antique shop and see a gift shop next)
Ms. Carolyn: Look, Maraya. Here's a gift shop we can go into next.
Maraya: Okay.
(When they went in, they split up to look around)
Maraya: Ooh, aaah, eeee.
(Ms. Carolyn looks around too and then turns around to Maraya)
Ms. Carolyn: See anything interesting you want to buy, Maraya?
Maraya: No. How about you?
Ms. Carolyn: Nope, didn't find anything interesting either.
(The scene is zoomed in)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, well. Then let's just walk around more. Come on, Maraya.
(She grabs Maraya's hand so they can walk out. The setting changes again to the outside of the shop as they start walking and singing the special song again)
Both (singing): 🎵La, la, la, la, la, la, la
What should we do today?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, what should we do today?🎶
Both (singing): 🎵We could go see a movie,

Oh, what should we do today?🎶
(Song ends)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, I'm hungry.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, me, too. But don't worry, I brought us some snacks.
(They let go of each other's hands and stop walking)
Ms. Carolyn: I brought an apple and a banana. Which one would you like?
Maraya (thinking): I'll have...the apple.
Ms. Carolyn (chuckling): As I thought, cause you like apples, don't you?
Maraya: Yep. And you like bananas?
Ms. Carolyn: Mm-hmm, I sure do.
Both: (laughing)
(They start walking again to find a place to sit)
Ms. Carolyn: We'd better find a place to sit down so we can enjoy our snacks.
Maraya: Yeah.
(As soon as Maraya takes a bite of her apple, Ms. Carolyn does the same thing)
Ms. Carolyn: Mmm.
Maraya: Mmm.
(The scene changes again to where they are sitting on the bench and enjoying their snacks while talking)
Maraya: I'm glad you found us this bench, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Me, too. I just don't know how else we'll eat our snacks together.
Maraya: We could just eat them while standing up.
Ms. Carolyn: Yeah, I guess that's true, but I've always liked eating food while sitting down.
Maraya: Oh, Ms. Carolyn. (laughing)
(They continue eating their snacks together until they were finished)
Ms. Carolyn: Finished, Maraya?
Maraya: Yes.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, just a sec.
(Ms. Carolyn throws away her trash and then throws away Maraya's trash)
Ms. Carolyn: Was your apple good, Maraya?
Maraya: Yes, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: I'm glad. And by the way, that banana was delicious!
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: Come on, Maraya. Let's go.
(They start singing the special song once again)
Both (singing): 🎵La, la, la, la, la, la, la
What should we do today?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Oh, what should we do today?🎶
(The song ends and the scene changes once again to where they are continuing to walk around)
Ms. Carolyn: It's about lunchtime, Maraya. Where should we go to eat?
Maraya: I don't know. Where do you think we should go?
Ms. Carolyn (sniffs): I know, let's go eat some pizza for lunch.
Maraya: Great idea, Ms. Carolyn.
(As soon as they were about to go into the restaurant, Maraya's friends walk by)
Maraya's friends: Hi, Maraya.
(Maraya lets go of Ms. Carolyn's hand so she can run to them and say hi back)
Maraya: Hi, everyone.
Carmen: What are you doing?
Maraya: We were about to go in this restaurant to eat some lunch.
Carmen: Ooh.
Ms. Carolyn: Would you like to join us for some pizza and ice cream for lunch?
Carmen: Sure, that would be nice.
Ms. Carolyn: Then come on. Follow us.
(It changes to where they are all sitting together in the restaurant)
Waitress: Hello. What can I get for you today?
Ms. Carolyn: I would like a large pizza for the four of us, please.
Waitress: Okay, one large pizza, coming right up.
(The waitress walks away and then the scene changes again to where she comes back to serve the pizzas a few minutes later)
Waitress: Here's your large pizza, and here's your large pizza.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you.
Waitress: Enjoy!
(After she walks away, everyone starts eating)
Maraya: This pizza is good.
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, it is.
(Scene changes again to where they are finished with the pizza)
Ms. Carolyn: That was good.
Novalee: Yeah, I could just eat pizza all day.
Erin: Me, too.
(The waitress comes back to collect the plates)
Waitress: Is there anything else I can get for you?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes. Can I get four banana splits, please? Two for this table and two for the other.
Waitress: Sure. Four banana splits, coming right up.
(It changes to where the waitress comes back with the banana splits)
Waitress: Here are your two banana splits and here are your other two banana splits. Enjoy!
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you!
(Maraya and Ms. Carolyn are seen eating the banana split together)
Ms. Carolyn: This is yummy.
Maraya: Yeah.
(Scene changes again to where they are finished with the banana split and they walk out of the restaurant)
Ms. Carolyn: That was yummy. So, now what should we do?
Maraya: I know. Let's go see a movie.
Ashley: Yeah. I heard that "Turn the Lights Off" was a good movie.
Maraya: Eeek!
Ms. Carolyn: Too scary.
Erin: I don't like scary movies.
Carmen (not seen): Well, I have a better idea. (she is then seen again) How about if we can see a fantasy movie?
Novalee: Yeah. I heard that "The Little Magical Unicorn" was amazing!
Anie: Blech, too girly.
(The camera points to Maraya)
Maraya (thinking): Okay, so "Turn the Lights Off" is too scary and "The Little Magical Unicorn" is too girly. So, what kind of movie can we see?
Ms. Carolyn: It has to be a kind of movie that everyone would like to see.
(Maraya starts thinking, but in the meantime, Erin has an idea)
Erin: I got an idea. How about if we can see a comedy movie? I heard that the movie "Have a Laugh" is very funny.
Maraya: Yeah!
Ms. Carolyn: A comedy movie. That's perfect!
Carmen: Well, okay, then. Let's go see a comedy movie. To the movie theater.
(They all walk to the movie theater and the scene changes once again to where they get there)
Woman #1: Hello. How many tickets?
Ms. Carolyn: One adult and seven children, please.
Woman #1: Okay, that'll be $18.00, please.
(Ms. Carolyn gives the woman $18.00)
Woman #1: Thank you. And what movie will you be seeing today?
Ms. Carolyn: "Have a Laugh".
Woman #1: Your movie will be playing in room 8.
Ms. Carolyn: All right, thank you for telling me.
Woman #1: No problem. Enjoy your movie.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you! (to others) Come on, let's get our food and drinks at the concession stand.
(They walk to the concession stand to order some food and drinks)

Ms. Carolyn: I would like four large popcorns and eight drinks, please.

(Fanfare)
(Sound effects are heard)
All: (laughing)
(Sound effects are heard again)
All: (laughing again)
(Scene changes once again to where they are walking out of the movie theater)
Erin: That was a very funny movie.
Novalee: Yeah. I liked the part when the man fell off the bed.
Erin: Me, too. What was your favorite part of the movie, Maraya?
Maraya: I liked all of it. It was a good idea to take us to that comedy movie.
Erin: Yeah, I guess you're right, because we are best friends, right?
Maraya: Right.
(Ms. Carolyn walks up to Maraya)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, I thought you were my best friend.
Maraya: Of course I'm your best friend, Ms. Carolyn. Everyone's my best friend.
Ms. Carolyn: Aw, that's nice, Maraya. By the way, what should we do now?
Jess: How about if we can go bowling?
Ms. Carolyn: Great idea, Jessica. Come on, let's go!
(Ms. Carolyn grabs Maraya's hand and lead the way while everyone else follows them)
Both (singing): 🎵La, la, la, la, la, la, la
What should we do today?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, what should we do today?🎶
Both (singing): 🎵We could go see a movie,
Or play pretend,
Or dance around all day
We can do anything, if we try
To go imagine and play!🎶

Novalee: Wow, what a great song.
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn made it up. Right, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: Yep.
Carmen: You're great at making up songs, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you.
(When they got to the bowling alley, they went in to get some bowling shoes and play a few games)
Woman #3: Hello, how can I help you?
Ms. Carolyn: We need two empty bowling lanes.
Woman #3: Okay, your empty lanes will be lanes 5 and 6. And here are your bowling shoes.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you.
(It changes to where Ms. Carolyn finishes putting on her bowling shoes. Then when she was finished, she types all the names on the computer)
Ms. Carolyn: There. All the names are set up on the computer. Now to bowl for a few games.
(She walks to get a bowling ball and then walks up to the lane)
Ms. Carolyn: I'm not so sure if I can do this, but I'll try.
(The scene zooms out when Ms. Carolyn was about to throw the bowling ball. When she threw it, she talks to herself)
Ms. Carolyn: I hope I can knock at least some of the bowling pins down. I really hope so.
(After she heard the bowling pins being knocked down, she looks and sees that she made a strike)
Ms. Carolyn (gasps): Oh, my goodness! I can't believe that I knocked all the bowling pins down!
(She turns around)
Maraya: Great job, Ms. Carolyn!
Novalee: Go, Ms. Carolyn!
Erin: Yay!
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, girls.
(After Ms. Carolyn went, then it was Maraya's turn. Then Novalee went, and then Erin, and then Anie. The scene changes again to where they are playing games in the arcade)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh.
Maraya: Yay!
(The setting changes to where they are at the prize station and then changes again to the glow in the dark mini golf room)
All (applauding and cheering): Yay, Ms. Carolyn! Yay!
Ms. Carolyn: (laughing)
(Scene changes once again to where they get out of the place)
Erin: That was fun. What should we do now?
Novalee: I know, let's go to the mall.
Maraya: That's a great idea, Novalee.
Ms. Carolyn: Yeah, what a wonderful idea, Novalee. Let's go.
(It changes to where they get out of the mall afterward)
Ashley: That was fun, Ms. Carolyn. What can we do now?
Ms. Carolyn: Hmm, it's a bit late, Ashley. How about if we can go out for dinner?
Ashley: Okay, where should we go to eat for dinner?
Ms. Carolyn: I don't know. Where do you want to go to eat, Ashley?
Ashley: How about the Golden Yellow Corral?
Ms. Carolyn: All right, then let's go there.
(Scene changes again to where they get there)
Woman #4: Hello, welcome to the Golden Yellow Corral. How can I help you?
Ms. Carolyn: I would like seven sodas and one sweet tea, please.
Woman #4: All right.
(After she finishes making the drinks, she puts them on the tray for her)
Woman #4: Here you go. Your seven sodas and sweet tea is ready.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you.
(Ms. Carolyn and the others go to the cashier)
Ms. Carolyn: Hello. One senior and seven children.
Woman #5: Okay.
(She presses a button that causes the receipt to print out)
Woman #5: Here you go, ma'am.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you.
(They walk to the dining area to find themselves a table. The setting changes again to the dining area)
Ms. Carolyn: I think this table would be good, even though it is only for six people.
Carmen: Here's a smaller table for two more, Ms. Carolyn. (grunting)
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, Carmen and Jess. Now, we can all be seated and get our drinks.
(Ms. Carolyn starts to hand out the drinks, starting with Maraya first)

(Last, she hands the drink to Anie)
Anie: Thanks, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Mm-hmm. Now, let's get our food and meet back.
All: Okay!
(They all stand up to get a plate so they can get their food. Then they come back to the table where they sat)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay. Let's say a special prayer before we can eat.
(She puts down her head, closes her hands together, and closes her eyes so she can say a prayer)
Ms. Carolyn: Lord, let us thank you for making us have a great day today. We had so much fun together. We imagined, we played, and most importantly, we had fun while we were still alive. And now, we want to thank you for serving us great food to eat, clean water to drink, bathe, and other things, too. Thank you, Lord, for everything and I hope we have another great day tomorrow. Amen.
All: Amen.
Ms. Carolyn: Let's eat.
All: Okay.
(Scene changes once again to where they are done eating dinner and they are seen walking out of the restaurant)
Carmen: That was a good dinner, Ms. Carolyn. Thank you very much.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, you're welcome, Carmen.
Novalee: Yeah. I enjoyed that.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, I'm glad, Novalee. And now that we've eaten dinner together, it's time to end the special day and go home.
All (sad): Aw...
Maraya: But, Ms. Carolyn, I didn't want the day to end.
Ms. Carolyn: I know how you feel about that, Maraya, but everyone has to get home, and also, it's almost our bedtime, too.
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: Come on, Maraya. Let's go take everyone home while we sing the "Going Home" song.
Maraya: Oh, all right. I'll go home if you sing the "Going Home" song, but first, you'll have to teach me.
Ms. Carolyn: Sure thing. You can just sing along with me. Now, come on. Let's go.
Maraya: Okay.
(Music starts)
Ms. Carolyn: 🎵It is now evening and it's getting late
We didn't want this day to end
We had fun hanging out together
And now, we're going
We're going home🎵
(Instrumental)
Both: 🎵 Eight best friends skipping together
We dropped off one, now we have seven
Oh, oh, ohhh, we're going home 🎵
Both: 🎵 Seven best friends skipping together
We dropped off one, now we have six
Oh, oh, ohhh, we're going home 🎵
Both: 🎵Six best friends skipping together
We dropped off one, now we have five
Oh, oh, ohhh, we're going home 🎵
Both: 🎵Five best friends skipping together
We dropped off one, now we have four
Oh, oh, ohhh, we're going home 🎵
(Instrumental)
Both: 🎵Four best friends skipping together
We dropped off one, now we have three
Oh, oh, ohhh, we're going home 🎵
Both: 🎵Three best friends skipping together
We dropped off one, now we have two
Oh, oh, ohhh, we're going home 🎵
(Music slows down)
🎵 Two best friends skipping together
We dropped none off, we still have two
Oh, oh, oh, we're going home 🎶
(Song ends)
Ms. Carolyn: We're here. Now, let's get ourselves ready for bed.
(Ms. Carolyn walks up to the house to open the door. The setting changes to the bedroom where they are getting undressed and then the bathroom where they are brushing their teeth, and then to the bedroom again where they are about to go to bed)
Ms. Carolyn (sighs): Did you have a fun day today, Maraya?
Maraya: Yes, Ms. Carolyn, it was very fun. In fact, it was the best day ever.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, I'm glad, cause I had fun, too. Now let's go to sleep, okay?
Maraya: Okay. Goodnight, Ms. Carolyn.
