[birds chirping] - [squeaks] - Wow, you guys!

This is our best attempt at an Earth garden yet!

- Yep, we started with tiny pumpkin seeds.

- Yep.

Let's see.

Soil, check.

Sun, check.

Air, water, check.

We all grew a pumpkin, check.

Look how big mine is.

How's yours doing?

- Mine's pretty big too.

Kind of a funny shape.

And here's Mindy's.

Aww, it's cute.

- I love it!

We're all growing Earth pumpkins.

Wait, I planted seeds too.

Where's mine?

Hmm... [Sunspot barks] Ah, there it is!

Wait, I thought pumpkins were green, then orange, not purple.

- You know, Jet, I think you may have planted an eggplant seed by mistake.

- What?

Different seeds grow different plants?

- Uh, yeah.

Pumpkin seeds grow pumpkins, and eggplant seeds grow eggplants.

- I must have planted both kinds of seeds.

- Who knew?

- [squeaking] - Oh, hey!

Here's my pumpkin!

It's pretty tiny, isn't it?

Oh, I sure hope these pumpkins are ready by New Year's Eve.

- No, Jet.

We're growing these pumpkins for Halloween, remember?

- Oh, right!

Hallow-een.

I love that holiday!

Earthies go house to house and demand a treat, or you trick them.

- [squeaks] - [screaming] - Right.

Anyway, this Halloween, there's a pumpkin growing contest downtown.

And we're gonna enter ours and win a prize.

You know, for biggest pumpkin, or-- - Or greenest...um, funniest?

- Well, maybe they aren't the biggest pumpkins yet, but we still have a few days until Halloween.

- Yeah, we can do it.

Come on, little pumpkins, grow!

- [sighs] So we need 'em to be big to win, huh?

Peasy-easy.

There's got to be lots of ways to make plants grow fast.

- Well, when I want to make my plants grow faster, I sing to them!

- Really, Mr.

Propulsion?

- You sing to plants?

- Oh, yeah, they love it.

[percussive music] Sunspot?

♪ Well, there are plants that grow on vines ♪ ♪ And most grow out of the ground ♪ ♪ And most of the growing plants I know ♪ ♪ They barely make a sound ♪ [together] ♪ But I know something ♪ ♪ All plants love, and I'm very seldom wrong ♪ ♪ What plant do you know that likes to grow ♪ ♪ That doesn't love a growing song?

Aw.

Works on Bortron 7, but these are the same size as before I started singing.

But hey, I figure the pumpkins are at least more relaxed, and relaxed pumpkins grow faster.

[chuckles] I think.

[timer ticking] - [whines] - Relax, Cody.

Our pumpkin's gonna win the contest.

What a specimen!

Can you believe how big and orange and just all around pumpkin-y it is?

[timer rings] - [barking] - Oh, that means it's time to water.

There you go.

Drink up, my prize-winning pumpkin.

Nothing can stop us from winning this contest.

Nothing.

- Yeah!

- [gasps] Unless that Jet Propulsion character comes up with some weird alien way to grow pumpkins.

Come on, Cody.

Let's go investigate Team Propulsion.

- ♪ Oh, grow, plant, grow ♪ ♪ Hey, you're sure good-looking ♪ ♪ Grow, plant, grow ♪ ♪ Now you know you're really cooking ♪ ♪ Grow, you little plant ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Grow ♪ - What kind of kid sings to a pumpkin?

That's not how you make them grow.

- [whines] - Sure, I talk to my pumpkin.

But that's perfectly normal kid behavior.

It's not like I go out of my way to-- [timer rings] Ooh, time to water.

Come on, Cody.

[Cody barking] - I'm telling you, Lillian, anything could happen on Halloween night.

- Like what?

- Like last year, I saw a witch and her cat fly on a broom across the moon!

- You did?

- Photographic proof, Lillian.

I'm telling you, Halloween is magical!

Okay, back to business.

What are we going to wear for costumes this year?

- I was thinking... pirate.

Arr, avast, matey!

Deliver me lumber.

How about you?

- Stuffy Bear.

It's a tradition with me.

But we also need to come up with a great new costume for Sunspot.

- You mean Jet's pet?

I thought he was already in costume.

- [laughs] Nope!

Definitely a normal Earth pet!

[laughs] And he promised to come trick-or-treating with us.

[whistling] Sunspot!

["Sunspot" echoing] - [chirps] [playful music] - Remember, act like a dog, Sunspot.

Lillian's here.

- [squeaking] - [laughs] What a good doggie.

- [bleats] - [laughs] Okay, Sunspot.

Let's find you a costume.

Uh, you're a cowboy!

You're a pineapple!

You're a pineapple cowboy!

- [giggles] - Oh, you're a magician!

- [chirps] ♪ ♪ - [squeaks] [panting] - See?

Halloween is magical.

- Um, Halloween is not magical.

It's just a regular, ordinary holiday.

- [gasps] Mitchell!

How can you say that?

Remember last Halloween, when we saw a witch flying a broom across the moon?

- Well, okay.

We did.

But I'm convinced that it must have been some kind of trick.

There's no magic, just magic tricks.

- Well, believe what you like, Mitchell.

But I think Halloween is magical, and we're gonna see all kinds of amazing, magical things on Halloween night!

- Well, I don't think we'll see any-- [timer rings] Oh, um, I have to go do something completely different from what we're talking about.

Come on, Cody.

[Cody barking] - ♪ But I know something all plants love ♪ ♪ And I'm very seldom wrong ♪ ♪ What plant do you know that likes to grow ♪ ♪ That doesn't love the growing song?

♪ ♪ Oh, grow, plant, grow ♪ ♪ Hey, you're sure-- ♪ - Hey good news, Jet!

[record scratches] [crashing] - Good news?

Did you bring sandwiches?

- No, but I measured the pumpkins again.

And in the last couple days, they've gotten a teeny bit bigger.

- Can't we just speed up this growing a little?

- Well, we're growing our pumpkins with good, old-fashioned soil, water, and sunshine.

You know, the Earthie way.

- Can we try the Jet way?

- Sure, Jet.

I guess.

What is it?

- I haven't thought of it yet, but I'll pace back and forth until I come up with something.

- Meanwhile, let's at least be scientific about it.

- Great idea, Sean.

Let's ask my mom.

She's a scientist, and she's got a real green thumb.

- Wait, she has a green thumb?

I never noticed!

- That's an Earth expression, Jet.

It means she's really good at growing things.

Come on!

[robot whirring] - So you're trying to grow pumpkins in time for the Halloween contest?

- Yeah!

But they're still pretty small, and it's almost Halloween!

- I bet you kids know all the basics to grow plants, right?

- Air!

- Sunlight!

- Meatballs!

Oh, wait.

Water!

- [laughs] Right.

[tapping sound] And yes, Sunspot, soil.

[tapping sound] - [chirping] - [laughing] He's, uh, quite a pet!

- Yeah, well, Bortronian pets really like dancing.

Uh, but we have an Earth problem.

We need to grow the pumpkins really fast if we want to win the contest.

And we heard that you have a green thumb.

- [laughs] Well, so far, you've been very scientific.

You made a chart and kept track of everything you need to grow pumpkins.

Now all they need is time.

- But time is the one thing we don't have enough of.

It's almost Earth Halloween!

[together] Bye!

- Uh, and you'll need patience!

Did I mention patience?

- Hmm...Team Propulsion is using water, air, soil, and sunlight.

So far everything is normal.

But Jet is up to something, and I'll be here, cleverly hidden.

- Hi, Mitchell!

- Aah!

Oof!

Oh, hello there.

- Happy Earth Halloween, Mitchell.

Are you entering the pumpkin contest?

- Pumpkin contest?

Oh, I thought it was a dumpling contest.

I don't know anything about dumplings or pumpkins.

[timer ringing] [Cody barking] And I have to go water my dumplings.

- Um, you don't water dumplings.

- Wow!

So far, so good.

Very nice pumpkins.

- Dr. Skelley, do you think the pumpkins can grow big enough to win the contest by Halloween?

- Well, there's only so much sun in a day.

And you only have one more day, but hey, I love this garden.

Good work.

Bye, kids!

all: Bye!

- [sighs] Only so much sun... one more day.

[gasps] I know what to do!

My Bortronian sunlamp!

Now our pumpkins will get light from your Earth Sun in the day, and it will shine all night.

So our pumpkins will get extra light.

- Why not?

It's worth a shot.

See you tomorrow, Jet.

[together] Bye!

- See you guys!

- [squeaks] [eerie music] [creaking and shifting] ♪ ♪ - [sighs] I hope my Bortronian sunlamp worked.

[all gasping] Whoa.

[dramatic music] [dramatic music] - [gasps] - That's one gigantic pumpkin, Jet Propulsion!

- Yeah!

I didn't think my Bortronian sunlamp would work so well and so fast.

- Wow, it's bigger than your saucer!

- It's totally gonna win the Boxwood Terrace pumpkin contest.

- [snaps fingers] Oh, right!

That's why we were growing these Earth pumpkins.

- Hey, look!

Our pumpkins got some of that Bortronian sunlight too!

- Wow, mine is shaped exactly like Sunspot!

And look how much bigger and greener your pumpkin is.

And Mindy's pumpkin is-- [pumpkin jabbering] - Well... [chuckles] Cuter than ever.

- [laughs] Bortronian technology!

You never know what it's gonna do.

These pumpkins will definitely win some kind of ribbon.

- You will win the ribbon for best pumpkin, my precious.

Yes, you will.

Now drink up.

[pumpkin jabbering] [Cody whines] - [clears throat] I'd like to thank all my Earthie friends who live on your planet-- - Uh, Jet, if you want to win the contest, you have to actually bring the pumpkin to the contest.

- No problem.

Where's the contest?

- Downtown.

And it's really far!

- So we just pick up the pumpkin and carry it to down in the town on the contest day.

- Jet, the contest is today.

This evening!

Today is Halloween!

- Okay then, we'll do it today.

Here goes!

[grunting] Right, new plan!

Let's all lift the pumpkin together!

Ready?

Lift!

[all straining] - [grunting] [sighs] New plan!

Can we reschedule Halloween?

[laughs] - You make the best pirate, Lillian.

- Arr, thanks!

Hey, what did you wind up doing for Sunspot's costume?

- [laughs] - [chirping] - What a perfect pumpkin!

- Yep!

We all look pretty awesome.

- [squeaks] - Watch out, Halloween.

Here we come!

[together] Hi, Mitchell.

- [gasps] - So are you playing a detective?

- I'm not playing one, I am one.

And yes, I'm also dressed as one.

- Mitchell, remember you promised to go trick-or-treating with us?

[together] We're ready to get candy!

- Uh...well, okay.

I'll go.

- Hooray!

Let's start our magical night of trick-or-treating.

- You mean our regular, non-magical night of trick-or-treating?

- Oh, Mitchell.

Halloween is magical.

You'll see!

[together] Trick or treat!

- Eek!

Look, Mitchell!

A giant spider with big, red eyes!

Magical!

- No, not magical.

It's a fake spider from a store.

Those are lights that make the eyes glow.

- Hmm... Whoa, look!

A flying ghost!

Another magical Halloween thing.

- It's a cardboard ghost on a zip line, Mindy.

Hardly magical.

- [meowing] - Aah!

- Wow, a black cat crossed our path.

You see?

Magical.

- [panting] That could happen any night.

And by the way, I wasn't really scared.

- [meows] - [screaming] - Okay, that didn't go so hot.

- [straining] - We've tried all day.

Moving this pumpkin takes way more force than we can come up with.

- Wait, we didn't try making a lever.

- Yeah, a lever!

- Oh, right!

A lev-er!

Good thinking, Sydney.

This'll work the first time.

[all straining] - Okay, second time!

[all straining] - Third time?

[both straining] Whoa!

- [laughing] [laughs] Say, what's inside a pumpkin?

- Lots of guck, and seeds.

- Oh, right, gloopy guck and seeds.

Hey, what if we take the gloopy guck and seeds out?

The pumpkin will weigh less, and we could carry it down in the town!

- Wait, carve out this huge pumpkin?

- Exactly!

It'll work great!

- We're gonna need a couple shovels.

- Thanks for helping us carve it out, Mom and Dad.

- Wowza!

That is one impressive Earth John-o'-lantern.

- Um, it's Jack-o'-lantern.

- [laughs] Aw, cute nickname.

- Now, what are we gonna do with all this pumpkin gloop?

- Hmm, got it.

[whistles] [radar pings] - [squeaking] [upbeat music] [both gasp] [straw gurgling] - [chirps] - Okay, it's great that we hollowed out the pumpkin, but we still have to move it downtown, and it's late!

- No problem!

[straining] And it still won't budge!

- [laughs] Too bad the pumpkin can't just fly.

- [gasping] Or can it?

[whistling] - [barks] - [squeaks] [chirps] - Excellent!

Bortronian engine parts!

Did you bring the carbifonator?

[laughs] Then let's get busy!

Excelsior!

[together] Eek!

A witch!

- [laughs] See?

Just like last year.

Halloween is so magical.

Right, Mitchell?

- [sighs] Mindy, that witch is just a kid in a Halloween costume.

- [squeaks] - [screams] [sighs] [tool whirring] - Okay, Bortronian thrusters are installed!

I'm all set to fly this thing down in the town!

Everybody coming?

- Of course.

- Uh, are you sure you can fly this thing?

- Of course not!

But I can't wait to try!

Hop in, Sean!

- And bring our pumpkin, Sean!

- And sandwiches!

- [straining] [sighs] It's always me.

- Downtown pumpkin contest, here we come!

Ready, jet, go!

[engine whirring] [engine sputters out] both: Aah!

Let's try that again.

- Maybe I'll walk-- oof!

- Hang on, Sean-zo!

[engine whirring] Whoa!

- [gasping] - Who knew that flying an Earth pumpkin would be so complicated?

- I kind of did.

- One more time!

- Wait, wait!

I-- [engine whirring] - Whoo-hoo!

[together] We're flying!

- See, Mitchell?

So far, we've seen giant spiders, and witches, and ghosts.

Halloween is so magical!

- No!

Nothing magical!

It's all made up!

There are no actual giant spiders, no actual witches, no actual ghosts.

What's next?

You're gonna tell me that pumpkins can fly?

- [gasping] [dramatic music] - [gasps] - Look!

- Whoa!

[engine whirring] Was that a-- - Yes!

both: A flying pumpkin!

- [chirps] [engine sputters] - Whoa!

- Uh-oh.

- Aah!

My candy!

[Sunspot squeaks] - Now it's raining candy!

- Flying pumpkins raining candy?

[together] Best Halloween ever!

- It's true!

Halloween is magical!

Wait!

It can't be!

Pull yourself together, Peterson.

There's probably a perfectly simple explanation.

Someone carved out a pumpkin, put an engine in it, and is now flying it and tossing candy from its mouth!

Perfectly logical.

Nothing magic at all.

- Thanks for the candy, flying pumpkin!

[all panting] - We made it!

- Good evening, and welcome to the Boxwood Terrace pumpkin contest.

So many pumpkins to evaluate, so many categories for awards.

So let the judging begin!

- Aah!

There's the contest!

- Great!

Then I'll just put her right down the middle!

- Wait!

We can't let the crowd see us flying this thing!

We need to sneak in from behind.

- Yeah, you know.

Be stealthy.

- Oh, okay.

Stealthy mode it is.

Hang on!

[engine whirring] - Well the clear winner for biggest pumpkin is... [playful musical sting] [both gasp] - That giant pumpkin that appeared out of nowhere!

[crowd gasps] It's humongous!

The clear winner for biggest pumpkin goes to Jet Propulsion!

[cheers and applause] - But--but no!

He--he--he flew it!

- Oh, sure, and it's raining candy.

The ribbon for most creative pumpkin goes to... Sean Rafferty.

- [stammering] - And most adorable little pumpkin goes to Mindy Melendez!

[pumpkin jabbering] - [gasps, giggles] - [stammering] - And the ribbon for pumpkin most like a pet goes to Sydney Skelley.

[laughs] Boy, that really does look like Sunspot.

- What?

- Wait, whose pumpkin is this?

- [chirps] - [laughs] No, silly!

That is Sunspot!

[laughter] - Oh, fine.

Sunspot, you get the ribbon for, uh, pet most like a pumpkin.

- [chirps] - But--but Jet's pumpkin can't be an Earth pumpkin!

And he flew it here!

It's m-m-- - Magical?

- Well, there's nothing in the rules about whether or not you can fly the pumpkin here, Peterson.

I don't care how it got here!

It's a perfectly good Earth pumpkin, and it's the biggest!

- [sighs] - Never fear, there's one last ribbon!

Most classically perfect pumpkin!

Excellent gardening skills, Mitchell!

Bravo!

- Good job, Jet.

It really is a magical pumpkin.

- Thanks.

Isn't it?

And all it took was air, water, soil, and sunlight.

[cheers and applause] And a little Bortronian sunlight.

- And magic!
