Ellie the Elephant Does

Ellie the Elephant Does is the first episode of the second season of *Dave the Dog Does* or the eleventh episode overall.

## Plot

Dave lets Ellie run the show for some time, showing what makes her herself, or what turns out to be what makes anyone else themselves!

## Summary

The episode begins with Dave singing the theme song to himself but is interrupted by Ellie, who wants to run the show for one day. Dave allows her to do so, and Ellie has an attempt at singing a theme song. Ellie spots a shoe that she doesn't know where, making Dave clueless. Dave then pretends being Ellie, yelling *'SUGAR!'* at her, before the two get into a fight about roles, with Dave slightly biting Ellie's trunk. For revenge, Ellie does the same thing back to him, before Dave steps away on a broken guitar string. The Eviler Ladybug comes in, stating that she is even more evil than the Evil Ladybug, with Ellie shooing her off. Ellie then plans of teaching Dave how to do stupid insults that don't sound right, and how to be Ellie as a whole. The two then decide to go in another upstairs room.

Ellie teaches Dave her first rule, about insulting the Evil Ladybug, saying that if she shows up, scream at the top of your lungs, call her a stupid ladybug, say that no-one likes her, be rude and slap her very hard. Dave gets shown rule two, which is being hyper all of the time, and speaking gibberish, which Dave has a go at. Rule three, which Ellie states that she forgets, is to only eat one quadrillion cookies and every single second you get a sugar rush, which Dave slightly mockingly has a go at. Rule number four, which Ellie struggles to explain, is when someone asks a question, reply with too many 'yes'-es or a big 'no' or just reply with too many 'okay's, say 'let's go' a lot and use *'because I can!'* as an excuse. Ellie wants to know how to act like Dave.

With Dave back in charge, he teaches Ellie to prepare for the day or when the Evil Ladybug comes and to always eat dog bones for breakfast. Ellie, not liking dog bones, says she rather would eat the chocolate dog bones that made Dave ill. Dave gets *Medical Madness* flashbacks about being sent to the vet's in the car, where Ellie crashed him in. Ellie is offended after Dave says her driving is poor, explaining that her driving was too extreme for the car to handle. Lesson three, always talk with a slight accent. Ellie talks about how good Hopsterz is at shooing the Evil Ladybug away, as the two decide to get her in charge. Dave recaps everything he says while Ellie goes to get her.

Hopsterz enters, with Dave stating that she is great at being him, being all prepared to fight crime. Hopsterz is confused and decides to teach Dave how to be like her. Hopsterz licks Dave with her 'bunny germs'. She then teaches Dave how to bring his voice down when sneaking up to the Evil Ladybug, and bringing his voice up loud when scaring her, and how to lick her. She also tells Dave to eat a lot of carrots, and have fun gardening. Dave and Hopsterz agree to have carrots and carrot cake for dinner, as it is '*Treat Myself Night'*. Dave goes back to tell Hopsterz that sharing is caring, and an example of this is him sharing the show with his friends. Dave then decides to take his show back, as the two decide to do fun things outside, such as annoying the Evil Ladybug. The episode ends
