Who's the New Girl?

## Plot

Rocket is playing outside. His ball accidentally knocks over a sculpture, spills a painter's can, and hits a Zamboni. Rocket catches the ball and then dives into a bush.

Just then, a Chinese-Canadian girl that Rocket hasn't seen before skips past him. He sees her plant a seed and pour water on it, sprouting a huge flower house in an instant! Seeing he has a new neighbor, he decides to go get some gifts to make her feel welcome to the neighborhood. At home, he grabs some candy and a bouquet of flowers. He also decides to bring over his favorite toy.

Rocket brings his gifts to the new girl's house and rings the doorbell. She answers, and Rocket welcomes her to the neighborhood and gives her the candy and flowers. The girl thanks him for the gifts and introduces herself as Calina Zhao. Calina's plush arrives, and Rocket introduces his toy to Calina. The toy transforms into a train and then a unicorn. Rocket hopes they can play with him and make him transform some more, but Calina insists on having a tea party. He agrees to the plan. Rocket sees the Little Einsteins playing outside and wants to join them, but he decides to be nice to Calina and participate in the tea party instead. She has everyone wear fancy hats; the toy is given a top hat with an eyeglass. He says things with a British accent during the tea party. He even drinks tea and eats cucumber sandwiches!

Rocket says that it's a nice day outside and wants to go outside to play, so Calina's first idea is jumping rope. Rocket doesn't know how, but gives it a try; he gets all tied up and asks to play something else. The two then decide to play hide-and-seek, so Rocket runs off to hide while Calina counts to 100. He tries to hide behind a yellow "bush", but it turns out to be Big Bird. Next, he looks in a hollow tree for a hiding place. The squirrel from earlier has made another flower sculpture from its acorns, but he accidentally knocks it over; this time, though, he notices and says "sorry." Rocket then finds a pile of leaves to hide in. All is well until the leaf pile is accidentally bumped with the Little Einsteins's soccer ball, and Rocket catches it as it falls. Quincy tells him to come play with them. He hesitates, but then opts in just for a few kicks.

Calina finishes counting to 100 and starts looking for Rocket. She looks everyone. Just then, she finds him as he calls out prior to launching the soccer ball straight into the net. He yells "Score!" and then sees a disappointed Calina. She says "I thought we were playing together"; when Rocket can't think of something appropriate to say, she says "Never mind", and sadly goes over to sit on a bench.

Rocket feels awful for leaving out Calina instead of welcoming her. He goes and talks to her, and he admits that they seem to like to play different things. Then he thinks of a good idea; he asks her if she likes to play hopscotch, and she says it's one of her favorite games! They start playing hopscotch, until the soccer ball lands near Calina and Leo yells "A little help!" At first, Rocket says he'll take care of it, but Calina interjects and says she's a pretty good soccer player herself. Rocket is delighted!

Calina kicks the ball and makes it soar! After a chain reaction, Calina catches the ball, and Rocket says he wants to be on her team. His toy rolls up, still wearing a top hat and eyeglass, and says "I say, I love soccer!"
