(The episode starts by taking place up in the sky and then goes down to where Maraya and Ms. Carolyn are heading towards the playground. Maraya runs to get on the swing and after she gets on, Ms. Carolyn walks to her)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya, would you like me to give you a little push?
Maraya: Yes, please.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, ready? 1, 2, 3!
(She pushes her high)
Maraya (laughing): Higher, Ms. Carolyn, higher!
(She pushes her higher and then walks away from her)
Maraya: Whee! (laughing)
(While she was swinging, Carmen comes to her)
Carmen: Hello, Maraya!
Maraya: Hello, Carmen.
Carmen: What are you doing?
Maraya: I'm swinging!
Carmen: Wow, that sounds like fun. Can I swing with you?
Maraya: Sure. You can swing beside me.
Carmen: Okay.
(Carmen walks to the swing next to Maraya and sits on it)
Carmen: Uh, Maraya, can you give me a little push, please? My feet can't reach the ground.
Maraya: Sure.
(She gets up from her swing to push Carmen)
Maraya: Ready?
Carmen: Ready.
Maraya: Okay, here we go. 1, 2, 3!
(She starts to push Carmen)
Carmen: Whoo-hoo! Push me higher, please, Maraya.
Maraya: All right, here goes.
(She pushes Carmen higher)
Carmen: Whoo!
(Maraya gets back on her swing to swing high)
Both: (laughing)
(While they were swinging together, Novalee comes by)
Novalee: Hello, Maraya. Hello, Carmen.
Both: Hello, Novalee.
Novalee: What are you doing?
Carmen: We're swinging together.
Novalee: Wow, sounds fun. Can I swing with you?
Maraya: Sure, Novalee. You can just swing beside me and Carmen.
Novalee: Okey dokey!
(Novalee gets on a swing beside Carmen but asks Maraya to push her)
Novalee: Maraya, can you push me, please?
Maraya: Of course. Are you ready?
Novalee: Yes.
Maraya: All right, then. 1, 2, 3!
(She pushes Novalee high)
Novalee: Whee! Can you push me higher, please?
Maraya: Of course. Here you go.
(She pushes her higher)
Novalee: Thank you, Maraya.
Maraya: You're welcome.
(Maraya gets back on the swing to swing herself. Meanwhile, Ashley comes by)
Ashley: Hello, everyone!
Maraya, Carmen, and Novalee: Hello, Ashley!
Ashley: What are you doing?
Novalee: We're all swinging together.
Ashley: Wow, cool. Can I swing with you?
Maraya: Of course you can, Ashley. You can swing beside me, Carmen, and Novalee.
Carmen: But first, can you give me a push?
Novalee: Me, too.
Ashley: Sure thing.
(Ashley comes to push Carmen first)
Carmen: Whoo-hoo!
(After she pushes her, she pushes Novalee next)
Novalee: Whee!
(Ashley gets on a swing beside Novalee and gives herself a little push)
All: (laughing)
(In the meantime, Erin, Jess, and Anie walk by the four girls who are swinging)
Erin, Jess, and Anie: Hey, girls!
4 Girls: Hey, Erin! Hey, Jess! Hey, Anie!
Jess: What are you all doing?
Maraya: We're all swinging together.
Erin: That sounds like so much fun!
Carmen: Would you all like to swing with us?
Jess: Absolutely!
Erin: Of course.
Anie: Yes.
Novalee: Okay, but the three of you would have to swing across from us because this side is kinda full.
Erin: Okay. Come on, Anie. Come on, Jess. Let's swing!
Both: Yes!
(They run over to the other side where four more swings are so they can swing with the four girls)
Jess: Ready?
Maraya: Ready.
Jess: All right, on the count of 3, we'll give ourselves a big push and swing together.
Maraya: Okay, ready, friends?
Carmen, Ashley, and Novalee: Ready!
Maraya: Here we go!
All: 1, 2, 3, go!
(They all push themselves high)
All: Whee! (laughing)
(Moment of silence occurs)
Maraya: Hey, how about we can try to jump off these swings?
Everyone else (not seen): Yeah!
Maraya: Okay, 1, 2, 3!
(After she jumps off the swing, she and her friends cheer)
All: Yay!
Carmen: That was fun. What should we do now?
(Another moment of silence)
Jess: I know, let's play on the slide.
All: Yes!
(They all run to the slide and a rock climbing wall)
Jess: We can all climb on this rock climbing wall to get to the top. (she puts her right foot on a rock on the bottom of the wall) Come on, follow me.
(While she was climbing up the rock climbing wall, Maraya gets amazed)
Maraya: Wow, Jess is sure good at the rock climbing wall.
Erin: She must be like a certain animal.
Carmen: Yeah, like a frog.
Jess: What are you all waiting for? Climb. We're pretending to be red eyed tree frogs.
(The other seven climb up the rock climbing wall and get to the top)
Jess: Great job, guys. Now, you know what we do after all that climbing like red eyed tree frogs?
Everyone else: What?
Jess: We slide down. Whee!
Maraya: Hey, Jess, wait for me! Whee!
(Erin slides down next)
Erin: Whee!
(Carmen slides down after Erin)
Carmen: Whee!
(Ashley slides down after Carmen)
Ashley: Whee!
(Novalee goes after Ashley)
Novalee: Whee!
(Anie goes last)
Anie: Whee!
(All laughing)
Maraya: That was fun! What can we do next?
(Everyone starts thinking until Novalee sees the monkey bars)
Novalee: I know!
(She runs over to the monkey bars)
Novalee: We could all pretend to be monkeys.
Maraya: Great idea, Novalee, but how do we pretend to be monkeys?
Novalee: Easy. You just swing back and forth on the monkey bars while making monkey sounds. Watch me.
(She starts to swing back and forth on the monkey bars while making monkey sounds)
Novalee (imitating monkey sounds): Ooh, ooh, ah, ah. Eee, eee, eee!
All (not seen): Wow!
Maraya: She is sure good at the monkey bars.
Carmen: Yeah. She's a monkey bars expert.
(The scene points to Novalee, who makes it all the way back)
Novalee: Come on, you can all be monkeys, too. Just do what I do and follow me.
(Maraya climbs up the ladder and starts swinging and so does everyone else)
All (imitating monkey sounds): Ooh, ooh, ah, ah. Eee, eee, eee!
(As soon as they all make it, all of them laughed)
All: (laughing)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Guys, lunchtime!
All: Yay!
(They all run over to Ms. Carolyn)
Ms. Carolyn: Hmm, I don't know if we should sit on the benches or on the grass.
Maraya (walking over): I don't think the benches would fit all of us, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, then let's sit on the grass.
All: Yay!
(Maraya runs over to where her friends are while Ms. Carolyn gets the picnic blanket out of the basket to put on the grass. After she puts it on the grass, everyone sits on it)
Ms. Carolyn: Guess what I brought everyone for lunch?
All (not seen): What?
Ms. Carolyn: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And luckily, I made extra.
All: Yay!
(She takes the plastic wrap off the plate and sets it down. Then, she gets out some paper plates and cups for everyone. After she passes out the paper plates and gets herself a sandwich, she separates all eight cups for everyone)
Ms. Carolyn: Would everyone like something to drink with their food?
All (not seen): Yes, please!
Ms. Carolyn: All right. Just let me see if I can find any drinks.
(She looks for them in the picnic basket until she finds them)
Ms. Carolyn: Ah, here they are. (gets drinks out) I have cherry, apple, and grape juice. When I ask you what kind you want, you tell me and I'll pour it for you.
All (not seen): Okay!
(Camera points at Maraya first)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, what kind of juice would you like?
Maraya: Cherry, please.
(She pours Maraya a cup of cherry juice)
Ms. Carolyn: Here you go.
Maraya: Thank you.
(While she is drinking her juice, Ms. Carolyn asks Carmen next)
Ms. Carolyn: Carmen, what juice would you like?
Carmen: I think I'll have some cherry juice, too.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay. (pours juice) There you go, enjoy.
Carmen: Thank you, Ms. Carolyn.
(Camera points at Novalee next)
Ms. Carolyn: Novalee, what kind would you like?
Novalee: Grape juice, please.
Ms. Carolyn: Of course. (pours juice) Here you go.
Novalee: Thank you.
(Camera points at Ashley after Novalee)
Ms. Carolyn: What kind of juice would you like to have today, Ashley?
Ashley: Grape juice, please.
(Ms. Carolyn pours Ashley a cup of grape juice)
Ms. Carolyn: Here you are.
Ashley: Thank you.
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome.
(The camera points to Erin after her)
Ms. Carolyn: Erin, what kind would you like to have?
Erin: Apple juice.
Ms. Carolyn: Okey dokey.
(Ms. Carolyn pours Erin a cup of apple juice)
Ms. Carolyn: There you go.
Erin: Thanks, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: You're very welcome.
(The camera points to Jess next)
Ms. Carolyn: What juice would you like to have, Jess?
Jess: Cherry, please.
(She pours Jess a cup of cherry juice and hands it to her)
Jess: Thank you, Ms. Carolyn.
(Camera points at Anie last)
Ms. Carolyn: What kind of juice would you like, Anie?
Anie: Grape juice.
(Ms. Carolyn pours him a cup of grape juice and hands it to Anie)
Anie: Thanks.
Ms. Carolyn: Mm-hmm.
(She goes back to her spot)
Ms. Carolyn: Ah, now that that's done, let's eat.
All (not seen): Okay.
(The camera points to Maraya who takes a bite of her sandwich. The scene is zoomed into her more when she talks to Ms. Carolyn)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, did you see us? We were pretending to be monkeys!
Ms. Carolyn: I sure did, and you were all great monkeys, too.
Maraya: Wow, thanks, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: You know, after lunch, we're going to have a very special dessert.
Maraya: Wow, tell me what it is, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn (chuckles): If I told you what it was, then it wouldn't be that special.
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: You'll have to find out after we finish lunch.
Maraya: All right.
(She continues to eat her lunch while the scene is zoomed back into her. The scene changes to where everyone is finished)
Ms. Carolyn: Good, everyone is finished. Now I can get out my special dessert.
(She gets up with the picnic basket and walks to the picnic table to put it down)
Ms. Carolyn: Can anyone guess what I brought for dessert?
Maraya (thinking): Hmm, is it...chocolate pudding?
Ms. Carolyn: No. Would you like me to give you a hint?
Maraya (not seen): Yes, please!
Ms. Carolyn: Okay. It's a fruit.
Maraya (thinking): Hmm, a fruit. Is it...an apple?
Ms. Carolyn: No, but I can give you another hint if you want.
Maraya (not seen): Yeah!
Ms. Carolyn: Okay. It's a fruit that you can peel.
Maraya (thinking): A fruit that you can peel...
(Camera moves to Erin who has a different answer)
Erin: I know, is it an orange?
Ms. Carolyn: You're very close. But, if you like, I can give you one more hint.
Maraya (not seen): Yes! Just one more hint.
Ms. Carolyn: All right, here's the last hint. It's a fruit that you can peel and it's yellow.
Maraya (thinking): Hmm, a fruit that you can peel and it's yellow...
(Camera moves even more to where Novalee is. When Novalee thought of an answer, she stands up)
Novalee: I got it! Is it...a banana?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes! (she gets out a bunch of bananas) It's a bunch of bananas!
All (not seen): Hooray!
(The camera points to Maraya who is just looking at her banana)
Maraya: But, Ms. Carolyn, I don't like bananas.
(After Ms. Carolyn chews and swallows her first bite of her banana, she talks to Maraya)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, you're a monkey. Monkeys love bananas.
(Moment of silence)
Ms. Carolyn: Try it, Maraya. (with mouth full) It's yummy, trust me.
Maraya (worried): Okay...
(She peels her banana and then takes a bite. After chewing it a few times, she gets surprised and ends up liking it)
Maraya: Hey, you're right! It is yummy.
Ms. Carolyn (sighs): See? I told you you were going to like it.
Maraya: Yeah! (with mouth full) Mmm, yummy. Mmm.
Ms. Carolyn: (laughing)
(Scene changes again to where they are done with dessert and they start to play a game)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, guys. We're going to play musical chairs.
Maraya: But, Ms. Carolyn, there are only benches here.
Ms. Carolyn (laughing): Oops, I meant musical benches. (laughing more) By the way, how you play this game is that everyone walks around the benches while the music is playing. And then, when the music stops, you try to find a place on the bench to sit. And since these benches can only fit two people each, we're going to have a person sit at each end of the table instead. (she stands up and the scene zooms out a little) Whoever is the only one standing after the music stops is out. Is that understood?
All: Yes, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, does anyone have a smartphone to play the music on?
Carmen (walking over): Here's mine, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, Carmen.
(Carmen walks away)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Is everyone ready?
All: Yes, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay. Here comes the music.
(Disco music plays in the background)
All: (laughing)
(When the music stops, everyone finds a spot to sit quickly, except Erin)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Erin, you're out. (she is seen again) Please go stand with me.
(Erin walks to where Ms. Carolyn is and then Ms. Carolyn plays the music again)
All: (laughing)
(Music stops again)
Ms. Carolyn: You're out, Novalee. Please come and stand with me and Erin.
(Novalee walks to stand with Ms. Carolyn and she plays the music once again. The scene changes once again to where it is only Carmen and Anie circling around the table and benches)
Ms. Carolyn: It's Carmen versus Anie. (thinking) Hmm, I wonder who's going to win...
(When the music stops, Anie sits on the bench quickly before Carmen does)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Carmen's out, Anie's the winner.
All: (cheering)
Carmen: Good game.
Anie: Same here.
(It changes to where they are all sitting on the ground)
Ms. Carolyn: The next game we're going to play is called "Duck, Duck, Goose" and how you play it is that you go around saying "duck" again and again until you've decided who you think should be your goose. Here, I'll show you. (she goes around touching everyone's heads while saying "duck") Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, goose!
Maraya: Ah!
Ms. Carolyn: Come and get me, Maraya!
(Maraya gets up to chase her)
Ms. Carolyn: And once you've chosen your goose, you run around this table three times and then you come back on the ground and the next person who was previously the goose gets to choose the next goose. Is that understood?
All (not seen): Yes, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: All right, then. Maraya, you start first since I chose you as an example.
Maraya: Okay.
(She goes around counter clockwise and saying "duck")
Maraya: Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, goose!
Erin: Ah!
Maraya: Try to catch me, Erin!
(Erin chases Maraya around the table three times and then Maraya gets back on the ground)
Ms. Carolyn: Great job, Maraya. And now, it's Erin's turn to choose the next goose.
Erin: Okay.
(Scene changes again to where they are done playing the next game)
Maraya: That was a lot of fun.
All: Yeah!
Maraya: Come on, friends, let's continue playing on the playground some more.
(They all run back to play on the playground)
Novalee: (laughing)
(Setting changes to the swings)
Maraya and Carmen: Whee! (laughing)
(Setting changes again to the rock climbing wall and the slide)
Jess: Whee!
(Maraya, Carmen, and Novalee run to where everyone else is at)
Carmen: Hey, Erin, can we slide down the slide, too?
Erin: Sure, come on.
(She climbs up the rock climbing wall to go down the slide)
Erin: Whee! (laughing)
(Meanwhile, Ms. Carolyn looks down at her watch and stands up to call Maraya's name)
Ms. Carolyn: Come on, Maraya, time to go!
(After Maraya slid down the slide, she gets sad and Ms. Carolyn walks by)
Maraya (sad): Aw, just one more time, Ms. Carolyn? Please?
Ms. Carolyn (sighs): Oh, all right. I suppose you can slide down just one more time.
Maraya: Yay! (laughing)
(She runs to the rock climbing wall to climb up and go down the slide)
Maraya: Whee! (laughing)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, Maraya, now we really need to go.
Maraya: You go, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: I can't go down the slide, I'm too big.
Maraya: But you have to go. All of my friends are wishing the same thing, look.
(Camera moves to Maraya's friends)
Maraya's friends: Go down the slide, Ms. Carolyn, please?
Ms. Carolyn (chuckles): Oh, okay, I'll go down.
Maraya's friends (not seen): Yay!
(The scene zooms out when Maraya pushes her to the rock climbing wall. Then when she gets there, she climbs up the wall)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, here I go! (she slides down) Whee!
All: Yay!
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, Maraya, let's go.
Maraya: All right. (she starts to walk away) Goodbye, everyone!
Maraya's friends: Bye, Maraya!
(The setting changes once again to the pathway where Maraya and Ms. Carolyn are walking)
Ms. Carolyn: Did you have fun with your friends at the playground today, Maraya?
Maraya: Yes, I did. I had lots of fun pretending to be a red eyed tree frog and a monkey, and even becoming a goose, but I like being Maraya the best.
Ms. Carolyn: Me, too. I like it when you're Maraya.
Maraya (laughing): And I like it when you're Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: (laughing)
Maraya: (laughing along)
(The scene goes back up in the sky and fades out to an end)
