## Plot

Dora and Boots visit Diego who works at the Animal Rescue Center, a place where animals go if they are hurt, sick, or lost when they hear crying behind the bushes. They find a Little white Kitten is lost from her family. Her Name was Marie. She is cold and wet. Dora gets a towel out of her Backpack and wraps the Little kitten in it. Marie wants to be back home. Dora, Boots, and Diego did not know where Marie's Family is. So, they ask Map. Map saw that Marie's Family was at Play Park. Map tells them to go past the Bananas tree, through the Jungle and they will Soon have Marie Back With Her Family at Play Park. He even says they can catch stars along the way.

On the way, Boots gets hungry, and so were Dora, Diego, and Marie. They get to the banana trees. Boots decided that he can climb up and get some bananas from a banana tree. Boots had to figure out how many bananas to get. They needed one for Marie, one for Dora, one for Boots, and one for Diego. They counted and needed 4 bananas. Boots scampers up the banana trees and then picks off 4 banana trees individually. Boots takes 4 bananas down and hands them to Dora, Diego, and Marie. Dora gets down low so Marie can eat the banana. They thought their banana snack was delicious. Then, Swiper tries to swipe the bananas. Dora, Boots, and Diego stop Swiper but as they do that, Marie runs away. Swiper snaps his finger, goes "Oh, man!", and he runs away. After that, Dora, Boots, and Diego finish their bananas and throw them in the waste bin. Suddenly, they saw that Marie disappeared. Dora calls out by saying "Marie, Gatita". Dora asks the viewer where Marie went. The viewer tells Dora that Marie ran away to the right. Boots calls out in English while Dora calls out in Spanish. Diego went "Where are you?" and Dora went "¿Donde estás?". Dora thought this was awful. They have to find Marie.

Dora, Boots, and Diego stop and thought. They remembered that when they first saw Marie, she went "Meow Meow". Dora thought that if they listen and are very quiet, they will hear her go Meow-Meow again. Dora, Boots, and Diego had to play a listening game. They heard a buzz sound, a cricket-cricket sound, a ribbit-ribbit sound, and then a Meow-Meow sound. Boots checks behind the bush and a bee was behind it. The viewer tells Dora, Boots, and Diego that Marie was in the flowers. As Dora, Boots, and Diego peeked into the flowers, they notice Marie is crying. Dora knew that the fox (Swiper) must have scared her really well. Boots had an idea on how to cheer up Marie. Boots jumped up and down and tickle his sides. When Marie saw it, she stops crying and starts laughing. Marie was cheered up and she, Boots, and Dora turn to leave. Now, they go to the Jungle.

Suddenly, they hear stars. They even saw a star that honks. It was Noisy Star, who is a male instead of female. Dora, Boots, Diego, and Marie catch the stars and put them into the star pocket as the pocket's glow colors are now orange and red instead of rainbow. On the way to the jungle they pass the cornfield and Boots tells Dora and Diego that a scarecrow was near. However, it was revealed that the scarecrow was living. Mr. Scarecrow went "BOO!" to Marie on accident, which made her break in to tears again. Dora gives Scarecrow a good interrogation, but he replies that he's a scarecrow so it is his job to scare birds and he also said he didn't know that she was a kitten. Soon afterwards, he bursts into tears as well. Dora is already tired of Scarecrow's excuse. So she tells Mr. Scarecrow not to cry and calm himself down. They need to think of a way to cheer up Marie. Luckily, Boots knows the trick. He does his monkey dance again. Dora thought that was a good idea because Boots' monkey dance cheered up Marie before. Dora thought that if she and the viewer do Boots' monkey dance, they will cheer up Baby Blue Bird.

Dora tickles her sides and gets the viewer to do the same. Now, Dora jumps up and down and the viewer did the same. Together Dora and the viewer tickled their sides and jumped up and down. Marie was happy again. Mr. Scarecrow apologized her for scaring her. Mr. Scarecrow guessed that Dora, Boots, and Diego are taking Marie back to her family. They told him he guessed right. Then Diego Told him they had to go through the jungle. Mr. Scarecrow warns them that there's Snakes, Crocodiles, and Spiders in the jungle. Mr. Scarecrow also says they should Take the Path With the Friendly Frog to find their way through the Jungle. Dora, Boots, Diego, and Marie Thanked Mr. Scarecrow and headed to the jungle.

When they arrive Marie runs off alone. Boots yells "Wait!", while Dora yells out "¡Espera!", and Diego yells "Wait for us!" Boots was worried about what would happen if Marie runs into the snakes, the crocodiles, and the Spiders. Dora tells the viewers to Help Marie listen for the friendly frog. After taking the correct paths through the jungle Marie, along with Dora, Boots, and Diego made it through themselves. They were proud of Marie for being so brave. All of a sudden, Marie runs off again because she wanted to give a flower to her mommy. Suddenly Noisy Star comes out of the star pocket. "Honk!" goes Noisy Star. Dora thinks Noisy Star is trying to warn them about something. "Honk!" goes Noisy Star again. Dora asks the viewer what Noisy Star was warning them about. "Honk, honk!" goes Noisy Star and then Swiper appears behind the tree. Marie saw Swiper and started running. Swiper chased after Marie. Swiper was planning on swiping on the flower. Dora, Boots, and Diego told him "Swiper, no swiping!" three times. Marie stops running, turns around, conquers her fear against Swiper, and said bravely, "Swiper, no swiping!" three times. Like earlier, Swiper snaps his finger, goes "Oh, man!", and he runs away. Dora, Boots, and Diego cheered for Marie for being so brave. Dora thanked Noisy Star for the warning. So far, Dora, Boots, and Diego went past the Bananas and through the jungle. They were getting close to taking Marie home. They just have to go to play park. They get there right away. They Just had to find Marie's Family. Dora, Boots, and Diego called out by saying "meow meow" to call Marie's family. Duchess, Thomas O'Malley, and Marie's Brothers appears. Marie ran to her mommy.
