[chuckles] Look, Ma. I got a Fraggle!

Argh!

Whoopee!

Down in Fraggle Rock.

Oh! Just as I thought, Sprocket.

You're running a temperature.
How do you feel?

[Sprocket whining]

I've got just the thing for you,

just what my mother gave me
when I was sick.



Chicken soup.

Ugh!

Oh, don't worry,
I've translated the recipe

to appeal to your canine taste buds.

There you are, dog-food gumbo.

There you are.

Well, come on, Sprocket,
you have to keep your strength up.

Come on, try a little bit.

There, that isn't so bad, is it?

There. You finish your soup
while I look up the number.

Now, where is the--

Ah, here it is.

Now, what was his name?

Oh, vacuum cleaners, varnishes,

Venetian blinds...

Ah! Veterinarians.

[coughing]

[Doc] Don't worry, Sprocket.
You're going to get well real soon.

[whining]

Oh, boy. Wait till I tell Gobo.

He'll never guess.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Gobo, Gobo, guess... guess what!
Guess what!

Oh, you'll never guess.
You'll never guess in a million days.

Okay, so tell me.

Oh, but you have to guess.

I don't wanna guess, Wembley.

Oh! Oh, well,
I'll come back when you want to.

Wembley!

Yeah, Gobo?

You've already interrupted me.

So just tell me what's on your mind.

Oh! Well...

Oh, you were reading.

Yeah, yeah, I was just reading
my Uncle Traveling Matt's book

about the Beast of Blue Rock.

Wow! Well, read it to me.

[clears throat]
"One of the regions of the universe

that remains uncharted

is the frightening lair
of the Beast of Blue Rock."

Wow!

"Fraggle legend tells of
the ancient explorers who ventured there,

-never to be seen again."
-Whoo!

"Even I, Traveling Matt,
was unable to complete this journey.

So, I leave it to those
who come after me..."

-That's me.
-Yeah, yeah.

"...to enter Blue Rock and face the Beast
on behalf of Fragglekind."

Wow!

And it says that,
"Blue Rock only becomes visible

two days after the Doozer equinox

and then disappears for a whole year."

Well, well. What does that mean?

Well, it means
I've got to see it tomorrow.

Uh, if I survive the journey.

But, Gobo, you're risking your life?

A Fraggle's got to do
what a Fraggle's got to do.

Wow! But aren't there monsters
and cave creatures on the way?

Well, if there are,
I'll just have to handle them

like Uncle Matt does in Outer Space.

[Matt] / was passing through an area
known to be inhabited by silly creatures.

Everything appeared to be peaceful.

Then I first laid eyes
on two silly creatures

taking their garden pets for a walk.

The garden pets seemed tame,
but rather noisy and boisterous.

They appeared to be herbivorous,
or grass-eating.

Judging from their appetite,

they seem to go a long time without food.

In the interests of research,
I decided to get a closer look.

Confidence can tame any beast.

But don't count on it.

Oh! [screaming]

Hey, Gobo, could you be
as brave as Traveling Matt?

I'll have to be.

Boy, I really admire you, Gobo,
you know, going to Blue Rock alone.

Alone? Uh...

I don't have to go alone.
We could both go.

Oh, great.

-It'll be our greatest adventure.
-Yeah.

Mokey might even write a poem about it.

Oh, you mean, we're all going?

Well, why not?

-An adventure like this should be shared.
-Yeah.

You can all witness
the first Fraggle to enter Blue Rock.

Wow, wait till I tell Mokey
and Red and Boober.

Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, bo--

Uh-oh, that reminds me.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Oh, Gobo,
Large Marvin has entered tomorrow.

[Gobo] Tomorrow?

Yeah, Red's First Annual Fraggle Rock
Invitational Splash-a-thon.

You and I are a team, remember?

Oh, yeah. Uh-- Oh, no.

We're going to Blue Rock.

Yeah. That will be
a real adventure, too, won't it?

Wembley, you drive me nuts.

You can't do them both.

I can't?

What should I do?

What do you want to do?

Um, well, I don't know.

Can you give me a hint?

[sighs] Wembley, you decide.

Oh.

Well, I...

Let's see... [muttering]

[screaming]

Wembley!

Oh, boy!

Making a decision sure is hard.

You want me to miss my own splash-a-thon

for some dumb old cave trip?

[overlapping chatter]

[Gobo] Oh, come on, Red.
Forget about Large Marvin.

[Red] How can you forget about
Large Marvin?

He's the fattest Fraggle in the world.

Well, then. Let's put it to a vote.

Oh, oh, oh. I vote we join Gobo
on his noble quest.

You brave, strong hero-to-be.

Oh, good.

Well, that's one vote for me.

Yeah, thanks a bunch, Mokey.

Uh-uh. Just because you want
to meet the Grim Reaper halfway

doesn't mean I have to.

Well, that's one for me.

Well, Wembley,
looks like you have the deciding vote.

-Me?
-Yes. I just want you to know, Wembley,

that I've been planning
this splash-a-thon for a whole year.

-You have?
-Mmm.

Well, Wembley?

Well, uh...

Come on, Wembley. I thought we decided
you're coming with me.

-Well--
-You decided?

This vote is rigged.

Well, no.

No, no, it's not. No, no, no.
I'll stay here with you.

Fine, the cave trip is off.

Okay, Marvin,
concentrate and wait for my whistle.

-[Wembley] But, Red--
-Well, that's democracy in action.

Oh, Gobo.

Don't feel bad. You didn't lose.

You came in second.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, Wembley, you did it again.

What... what did I do?

[whistle blows]

[Marvin] Whoopee!

Ah! Was that a 9.9 or what?

Boy, that Large Marvin sure is good.

We don't have a chance.

Gobo.

Well, why are you packing?

I'm going to Blue Rock.

But the vote went against you, Gobo.
That means the trip is off.

I don't care. I'm going anyway.

But that's not fair.
I'll have to be a team all by myself.

I've had it with your wembling, Wembley.

Aw, I thought I could count on you.
I thought you were my friend.

Well... Aren't 1?

Oh, some friend.

You... you voted against me.

But that doesn't mean we're not friends.

I don't want to talk about it.

But Gobo...

I'm packing, Wembley.

Well... well, let me help.

No.

I don't need your help anymore.

In fact, I don't need you.

Well, that suits me fine.

-It does?
-I have rights, too, you know.

I have the right to be indecisive.

-Gobo.
-What?

Good luck.

Thanks.

[Wembley] Maybe Gobo's right.
I wemble too much.

Only about important things, though.

That dumb old Gobo.

Why'd he ever have to go off
and leave me alone?

Whoa!

[groans]

Oh!

This is the first night
I've ever spent by myself.

Kind of dark in here.

♪ The night is full of things around me ♪

♪ I don't know
What might be surrounding me ♪

I I know it's fear
That's come and found me I

♪ Onmyown

[water drips]

What was that?

Hey, come on.

If Gobo can face the Beast of Blue Rock,

I can spend the night alone.

[dripping continues]

All right, Sprocket,
time to go to the vet.

[whining]

What? What do you mean,
you're not sick anymore?

Well, you certainly made
a very quick recovery.

Well, you're still, still very, very hot.

Oh, and your nose is dry.
I'd better take you right away.

Sprocket, I don't want to see
how well you are.

Sprocket, stop that. You'll hurt yourself.

Sprocket, you are going to be late.

Oh, Sprockie.

Come--

Oh, Sprockie, you're delirious.

I'd better take you straight away.

[barks]

What's gotten into you, Sprocket?

-Oh, I've never seen you like this before.
-[barks]

There's... there's a good boy.

[Boober] Wembley.

Wembley?

Wembley, what are you doing in here?

The splash-a-thon is about to start.

Good grief, this place is a mess.

Don't you guys ever clean up?

ow!

That's no place to leave a pickax.

Pickax?

Oh, no, Gobo can't break into Blue Rock
with his bare hands.

He forgot something?

He will improvise. Do not sweat it.

Oh, please, Madam Heap.

Ma'am, he forgot his pickax.

-So what?
-Yeah, let him use his fingers.

-Yeah.
-Where did he go?

To the lair of the Beast of Blue Rock.

[screams]

Little Fraggle, listen to me.

That is one of the most terrifying
journeys in the universe.

I know. I know.
That's why you have to call him back.

Without his pickax, he'll never succeed.

My dear Fragglette, I cannot.

But, but, but...

I am sorry.

Then I guess the only thing to do is...

is go after him myself.

-What?
-What, are you crazy?

I'm amazed.

You've got a lot of courage
in that little green body.

Let me give you something
to protect yourself

on the journey.

Oh, thanks, Madam Heap.

A magic ring, perhaps?

You're out of stock, Marjory.

How about an invisible cloak?

No, the last one of those
disappeared this morning.

[Philo chuckles]

[sighs]

In that case, I can give you something
that may not kill any monsters,

but at least
it will keep your mind off of them.

Oh, great.

Ready, boys?

[both] Yeah!

Whoa!

Now, don't forget.

When you're in trouble, you try this.

It'll help.

I Hey! ♪

Wembley, you're not explorer material.
You'll never make it.

I might.

And you might also meet
a giant bolo monster,

or get attacked
by hordes of Grijian spiders.

[both scream]

Or fall into a pit of Poison Cacklers.

Don't say any more.

Are you kidding?
I was just getting started.

Besides, no one's ever
actually seen any of those things.

And lived to tell about it.

Wembley, you can't go alone.

Oh! You'll go with me?

No, no. That's not what I meant.

Okay, but...

Gobo needs his pickax.

Wembley.

[echoes] Wembley!

[whistle blows]

Whoopee!

Wembley did what?

Oh, we've got to find him.

Make way for Large Marvin.

Yeah. Somebody send out
for another bucket of puff-cakes.

But my splash-a-thon!

Do we really have to go?

Boober.

Gobo's in trouble.

Large Marvin's going to win anyway.

[Marvin] Whoopee!

Try and top that.

[Boober] How does he do it?

[creepy music]

[coughing]

Oh.

Boy, this isn't any fun.

But I'm not scared.

-[growling]
-What was that?

[stammering] Maybe I am scared.

How did that song go?

♪ Jump around I

Oh, no.

I Jump up, turn over ♪

No, I can't remember.

I got to keep going.
No, I can't be afraid.

[all] Wembley!

[screams]

Oh, Wembley, you're all right.

Yeah.

You sure gave us a scare.

Me?

I thought you were the Poison Cacklers
coming to get me.

We'll meet them.
It's only a matter of time.

Well, let's go find Gobo
before they find us.

You mean you're going to help?

But you'll miss the splash-a-thon.

Well, you're more important, Wembley.

I am?

Yeah. We couldn't let you be
all by yourself when you get eaten alive.

[all scream]

Boober!

Hey, look.

What? What?

It's lunch.

Oh, I'l get it.

Wembley.

What is it?

Well... it's an ancient
Doozer construction.

I'll get you some.

Whoa!

I'm feeling kind of dizzy.

-[Boober] Jump up.
-[Red] Cross over.

-[Red] Help!
-Oh! Oh!

[screaming]

Help!

Oh, no!

[all scream]

[crash]

There goes lunch.

Wembley, stay there.

Oh, no, there's no time.

I have to keep looking for Gobo.

There it is, Blue Rock.

What was that?

Maybe one of those bolo monsters.

Oh, and it looks like
it's just around that bend.

Or maybe it's the beast.

Should I go back?

How can I go back? I broke the...

Gobo might be in trouble.

[deep breathing]

[whimpers]

[Sprocket whining]

What is it, Sprockie boy?

You don't want me to take you to the vet?

But why? You're sick.

Sprocket, are you afraid?

Oh, Sprockie.

There, there.

Sprocket, you know, you've got to learn
to face up to your fears.

You'll be a better dog for it.

And I'll be there with you.

[heavy breathing]

[squeals]

Wembley.

Gobo, am I glad to see you.

Are you okay? Is anything wrong?

Oh, not anymore.

I'm gonna get to see my pal
break into Blue Rock.

Oh, I can't break into Blue Rock, Wembley.

I forgot my pickax.

Oh, no. Here, here it is.

Now, I'll just stay back out of the way
while you bash in that rock.

You came all the way from Fraggle Rock
to give me my pickax?

Wembley, I...

I don't know what to say.

Well...

Well, don't say anything. Just go ahead.

Uh...

Well...

This might take a little while.

Why don't you go on back home?

And miss seeing my friend
become a hero? No way.

Now, now. You can just bash
that rock in anytime.

[Gobo] I can?

[Wembley] Well, can't you?

I want to, Wembley.

It's just that...

Well, I think I'm... kind of...

of scared, sort of.

You, scared?

Wembley, let's go.

You're... you're going home, Gobo?

Yes. Uh...

No.

I don't know.

Well, are you gonna face the beast?

I don't want to face the beast.

What do you want to do?

Could you... I mean, can you...

Give you a hint?

Oh, boy, that sure feels familiar.
[chuckles]

Hey, I guess that means
I'm wembling, doesn't it?

That's okay, Gobo. I do that, too.

You want to wemble together?

I'm with you. [laughs]

[sighs]

It's no good, Wembley.

Even the old wembling song doesn't help.

I'm sorry. I've let you down.

I've let Uncle Matt down.

I'm a failure.

[echoes]

Wembley!

Wembley, the beast is in there.

You may die if you go in.

But Gobo,
I don't want you to be a failure.

You mean...

You're doing this for me?

Well... you're my best friend, Gobo.

Then I guess I can face
the Beast of Blue Rock with you.

Thanks, Gobo.

Whoa!

Oh, Wembley, are you okay?

What happened?

Oh, we're inside.

Congratulations, boys.

What took you so long?

[both] The Beast of Blue Rock.

Who are you calling a beast?

But the legend...

"No one ever entered Blue Rock..."

"And lived to tell about it."

Amazing what a little rumor can do.

Kept Fraggles out for centuries.

You mean, there is no beast?

Oh, there's a beast, all right.

You just fought it.

What did we fight?

We were just scared.

And you fought being scared.

That's fighting the beast.

If that's the beast, he'll be back.

True enough.

But together we beat it this time.

Yeah. We couldn't have done it
without each other.

I bet that's why we made it.

Exactly.

Always remember that.

Now it's time for you to go home.

-Oh, Gobo!
-Got you, Wembley.

Well, Large Marvin,

it looks like
you've won the splash-a-thon.

Thank you.

Big surprise.

Who cares?

Now that Wembley and Gobo
are gone forever.

[Gobo] Whoa!

[Red] The winners of the First Annual
Fraggle Rock Invitational Splash-a-thon...

Wembley and Gobo!

[all cheering]

[whistle blows]

Hey, this vote was rigged.

[sighs]

Oh, Sprockie,
you were very brave at the vet's.

Oh, yes, you were. I'm proud of you.

Oh, feeling fearless now, eh?

Good. 'Cause it's time
to take your medicine.
