Mr. Toaster here.
Woof woof woof!
Have you heard the good news?
Now there's a great new video series from the producers of Maggie and Me.
Like a secret adventure?
That's right, Rebecca.
And the crowds are going wild.
You'll meet my friend, Dreya Thomas, the most imaginative babysitter since Mary Poppins.
And boy, does she get into some egg-citing adventures.
Through her imagination, Dreya and the kids she babysits become cartoon versions of themselves,
both under the seat and in the air, while learning important biblical lessons in wonderfully
fast-paced adventures.
Oh, this is getting good.
You said it, George.
Things get pretty hectic with her around, but everybody loves Dreya Thomas.
I hate you, Dreya Thomas.
Well, except her arch-rival, Arlene.
But you'll probably want to watch all our great mini-movies to find that out.
Dreya's seventh grade class election takes on a new spin, as she and Arlene tangle for
class president.
Ta-da!
No one will vote for you, you know.
You'll be embarrassed in front of the whole school.
Them shruntin' words.
And Dad's tuba sonata hits a sour note over some missing music.
Has anybody seen a stack of my composition sheets?
No.
Uh, nope.
Needless to say, Dreya learns the secrets of truth, tubas, and George Washington.
What would George Washington say if he caught this?
Dreya's party plans are gone in a snap, as she has to babysit Matt and Rebecca.
I'm responsible for these kids all weekend.
Of course throw in Floyd the dog, who lends a paw with the Thomas' remodeling.
And watch out, as Dreya finds the true meaning of responsibility.
Ouch!
And how to act like a responsible, almost adult.
The extracurricular activities at Dreya's school smash when funds are zapped, and it's
up to our heroes to find a solution.
I just heard your scheme to raise thousands of dollars is to win a radio contest.
It's so you!
Sometimes she really burns me.
Along the way, everyone learns that sometimes cooperation isn't all it's spelled out to
be.
You just don't know how to spell astronaut.
Do two.
Do not.
Two.
Not.
Two.
And Dreya discovers how to survive junior high by really trying.
Help us win the Code Buster contest.
Plans for a big Christmas hit a snag when Matt and Rebecca want too much, Mrs. Long has
too little, and the Thomas family decides that less is more.
Then of course Arlene has her own plans for the holiday.
Dreya Thomas, I'm gonna make this your most miserable Christmas ever.
But it's not long before Dreya's caring has everyone dreaming of a right Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
If great stories, terrific animation, and uh, swell toasters aren't enough, as an added
bonus, each episode is also filled with great music.
So hurry and take home all of these great secret adventures today.
They're really hot!
Woo hoo hoo!
Grandpa, I'm tired of junior high.
I thought you liked your school.
Well the school's okay, it's the people going there that are driving me nuts.
I mean everybody's competing with each other.
It's like one minute somebody's your friend, and then the next minute they go and they
talk about you behind your back.
Well I think you're gonna find this all through life, Dreya.
It's not encouraging, Grandpa.
You know this reminds me of a passage I learned when I was about your age.
Live in peace, be patient, make sure nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but above all else,
be kind to each other and everyone else.
Of course these are the last things most people want to do.
Yep, that's junior high.
Come on, a secret adventure.
Come on, an incredible ride.
Come on, a secret adventure.
Be excited in time.
Won't you come up on the side?
Dream a dream and make them true.
It could happen to you.
Take a secret adventure.
Come on, come on, a secret adventure.
Come on, an incredible ride.
An incredible ride.
Come on, a secret adventure.
Be excited in time.
Won't you come along the side?
Come on, a secret adventure.
Come on!
Good morning, Hampton Falls.
Another beautiful, crisp fall day here in New Jersey
and, don't forget this afternoon,
our first clue in our Code Buster contest.
But right now, more music on!
WWEN!
Power Jack 40!
Dear Electronic Diary, E.D.
It's day 16 of OSBC, our school budget crisis.
Okay, all right.
I called to order this unofficial meeting
of the Save the E.C.A.'s extracurricular activities.
Now, let's hear the results.
The girls' volleyball team's white elephant sale
reports a solid $352 game.
Oh, a pack of arm-size response. Excellent!
Well, the car wash made $93.
We could have made more if it wasn't for Ms. King's son.
Oh, no, what happened?
Well, she got a special inside and outside wash.
You flooded her car?
Uh-huh. Bad for business.
Oh, no. Okay, what about you, George?
Soccer team hoagie sales came out to $43 after expenses.
43, that's it?
They haven't been selling so well.
All right, well, our grand total is...
an astonishingly bad $488.
We're somewhat short of our goal, guys.
Look, Dreah, we may as well face it.
I mean, it's impossible to raise all the money we need.
You guys aren't ready to give up, are you?
Yeah.
All right, so let me get this right.
The district cuts $10,000 from our school's budget,
and you're just gonna sit back
and let them take away all our E.C.A.'s?
No more waste soccer games, no more drama club productions,
no more buses for field trips, no more stupid little schemes.
Dreah, be back to Earth.
Face it, you failed.
Big time.
So, Arlene, as class president, what would you suggest?
Nothing. Zippo, zilch, nada.
We're seventh graders.
We can't be expected to make that kind of money.
Whop them greenbacks.
Bucks.
We know what money is, Marcy.
So, Arlene, you're just gonna sit back and do nothing
while the highlight of our educational experience
is just taken away?
For the past two weeks, you've tried everything,
and you're still like thousand short.
Undershine. Short.
Dreah, give it up,
or become the poster child for National Chumps Week.
Let's leave before some of this loser dust rubs off on us.
Dreah, honestly, unless we can think of some way
to get the rest of the $10,000,
we can just kiss the E.C.A.'s goodbye.
The E.C.A.'s goodbye.
Dear E.D., all I can think about is how to make big bucks.
Fast.
Then it hit me in a smash.
Hey, is anybody out there ready to play Code Buster?
You're playing for $10,000.
If you can make any sense out of all these clues, call me.
The clues so far are...
Firetruck, Planet, Guitar,
and our latest clue, Saw.
Trying to win a radio contest isn't exactly a surefire idea,
but it equals about a week of playing.
So I guess I'll give it a whirl.
Then how do you spell astronaut?
Forget it, Rebecca.
Mom called me to help you with your spelling.
I don't need help.
You just don't know how to spell astronaut.
Do, to.
Do not.
To.
Not.
To.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's the deal, guys?
Matt's doing really bad in spelling,
and Mom wants me to help him.
But he's too S.T.U. to help him.
But he's too S.T.U.B.B.O.R.N.
See, she just spells all the hard words
and then treats me like I'm dumb.
All right, just chill out, okay?
Rebecca, you go do your homework at the desk.
Matt, sit down here.
Do your homework.
Match your phone.
Neverland, this is Wendy.
I got a big, big, big idea.
Oh, me too, me too.
It just came to me.
I'm gonna win the Code Buster contest.
Okay, mine's kind of far out, too.
Who is the richest dude at school?
I don't know.
I'll give you a hint.
Her grandfather owns a Fortune 500 company.
Has his own charity,
as in donates money to worthy causes.
I hope this isn't a sign of how I'm gonna do
in the Code Buster clues.
Okay, last hint.
Her grandfather donated Falls Park
and is coming to town this week to get an award.
Arlene Blake.
Our Arlene Blake?
Yeah, which means in one phone call,
Arlene could replace the entire amount.
If you can convince her to make the call.
What?
It's brilliant.
Look, you call her up and you go,
Arlene, all my ideas are totally pea brain.
And the only way I could look like any more of a loser
is if you talked your grandfather into giving us the dough.
Dreah, you know she'll do it.
I think it'll work.
Yeah, but I'll look totally lame
and Arlene will look like a hero.
That's what makes Operation Beg and Grovel so brilliant.
Oh!
I have to call you back.
Dad!
I'm just getting ready for my 60 minuets
with worthy Mozart concert.
What do you think?
Looks fine, Mr. Thomas.
Yeah, nice shoes.
Dreah, what's up with them?
This outfit should get a big laugh.
Sorry, Dad, but they're in the middle of an argument
and they'd hate to say anything nice to ruin it.
Dreah, I'm going for baroque here.
VBJ, Dad.
VBJ?
Very bad joke.
Oh, I see.
Well, do you think we should tell them
that their M-O-M is H-E-R-E?
I'm gonna tell them M-O-M what you did.
Not if I get there F-I-R-S-T.
Bye, Dreah.
Mom, don't listen to him.
Well, that certainly perked him right up.
No running on the S-T-E-P-S.
Okay, codebusters, get your pencils ready.
Here comes our next clue.
Banana.
Banana?
What kind of clue is banana?
Excuse me, Dreah.
I just heard your scheme to raise thousands of dollars
is to win a radio contest.
It's so you.
I mean, what's the likelihood of winning?
A zillion to one?
Great plan.
Sometimes she really burns me.
You owe me $2.
No, I don't. I do not.
You owe me $2.
I am fed up.
Dearie D., I'm absolutely convinced
that I can win the codebuster contest,
deaf in a mundo.
I'm just not sure what will happen this millennium.
And there's absolutely no way I could ever
beg Arlene Blake to help.
But first, I've got another problemo to solve.
Eclipse!
Rebecca, come on.
No way that's a first grade word.
My teacher does not even know how to spell that.
I knew these words when I was your age.
No way.
Yes way.
No.
Yes.
No!
Yes!
No!
Yes!
No!
What's that?
That's what.
That noise.
Dreah, what's going on?
S-E-C-R-E-T-A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-E.
Secret.
Adventure.
Whoa!
Where are we?
What are we?
Dreah, Rebecca's an elephant.
Well, you're a monkey.
Hey, guys.
You see this?
This is an animal trap.
We have to be careful.
There must be a cat around here.
Great.
Even if it's an elephant, she's got allergies.
Shh.
Do you guys hear that?
Rebecca!
No!
Let's get out of here!
This way!
No, this way!
Some of us can't go up trees.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Oh.
I'll be right back.
Yes!
I see a cave.
Where?
Whoa!
Whoa, sorry.
Okay, the cave's right through...
there.
I can't go through there.
I can.
Follow me!
Huh?
Ah!
Oh, no.
I'm a goner.
Help!
Ah!
Rebecca, run!
I can't.
My foot's stuck.
Well, I can't be the monkey on this guy's back forever.
Whoa!
Right on, cowboy!
Come on, let's get out of here.
Pull!
Wait, I have to...
Ha-choo!
It sure is dusty in here.
That was close.
Thanks, guys.
If it hadn't been for you, I would've been cat food.
Yeah, if we wouldn't have worked together,
we wouldn't have eaten.
Sorry.
And sorry to you, too, Dreya.
Yeah, what she said.
Well, Matt and Rebecca got me thinking.
Maybe the only way to save the ECA's
is by getting people to cooperate.
So I left early for school to pursue my radical new approach.
Hey, Arlene!
Arlene!
Can I talk to you for a second?
Thomas, I really don't want to be seen with you in public.
It'll only take a minute.
I've got a great new plan
that'll put the entire school at your feet.
All right, make it fast, and this better be good.
Okay, number one, my plan will absolutely establish you
as the most popular girl in school.
Number two, I'll do all the work, and you'll get all the credit,
which, of course, makes me look pretty stupid.
And number three, you'll become the school hero,
because you alone will save the ECA's.
Okay, okay, so what's the catch?
You convince your grandfather to donate the $10,000.
What's your chance of racing to DeNiro without my help?
Honestly, we won't even come close.
You know, as much as I love drama and cheerleading,
they've never made me feel this good.
You are so pathetic.
Do you actually think I'm going to help you
after all you've done to me?
No way!
But don't feel like a total failure.
After all, to see you groveling so pitifully
has really made my day.
An old high school buddy of mine's in from out of town.
Visiting his...daughter and her family.
I thought I'd invite him over,
but first I had to go get my apartment cleaned up.
You better hire a cleaning crew.
Very funny.
I just found an old yearbook of mine.
You'll get a hoot out of this.
So why the long face?
Nothing other than I made a complete idiot out of myself today.
I asked Arlene for help, and she nearly spit on me.
No.
Hey, you wouldn't have a spare $10,000, would you?
Hang on a second.
You got changed for a $20,000 bill?
No, but that'll cover two years.
Come on.
You got any other ideas?
I almost forgot.
All right.
Part of our prize package also includes
two yearly passes to the Hampton Falls Multiplex Cinemas.
And now it's time for Code Buster.
Today's clue is Armadillo.
Armadillo?
Call me if you think you're the Code Buster.
You're not good at breaking codes.
I don't know.
Ah, to break this code,
you're gonna need more than me to help you out.
Grandpa was right.
What I need now is mega brain power,
and I know just who to get.
Help us win the Code Buster contest.
Here's the list of clues so far.
And you take these and hand them out in your process.
Okay.
She's like some special kind of moron.
I know, but I wish there was some way
we could get our ECA's back.
Marcy, when are you going to stop thinking of yourself?
Hello, hello, kids.
I want you to meet an old high school buddy of mine,
Wellington Ryder.
Jas, call me Duke.
This is my granddaughter, Dreya.
Hello, Dreya.
And these are the two scallywags she babysits for.
This is Rebecca.
And Matt.
Hello there.
Well, now, what's all this stuff?
We're trying to win an R.A.D. iPhone contest.
We're gonna win so Dreya can donate $10,000 to her school
so she can get all the good stuff back.
Well, that's a lot of money.
What's all this good stuff?
Well, you know, the drama club and cheerleading,
field trips, buses for soccer games,
you know, the good stuff.
Well, what happened?
Well, the district zapped the funding and...
Okay, everybody be quiet.
Okay, this is it.
We need the final clue.
You're listening to Hampton Falls' hottest music, Power 1040.
Are you ready for code buster?
We've got $10,000 for the first code buster
with the correct answer after our song ends.
Here's our latest clue.
Caboose.
And all for one
We can solve any problem
Let's finish what we begun
To make the pieces fit
We share the spirit
With a little help from above
Together we can do it
All together we can do it
We can do it together
We can make it happen
When we're working together
Oh, we can make it happen
One mind, one heart
One spirit together
Make it happen
We can do it together
We can make it happen
Discontent, two, three dollars and cents
Trying to find some answers
But haven't made a dent
You and me
We're the ones who decide
We disagree
With a little help from above
We'll find this unity
We can do it together
We can make it happen
When we're working together
Oh, we can make it happen
One mind, one heart
One spirit together
Make it happen
Together we can make it happen
Hi, we heard the last clue in the car on the way home.
The kids at the college are going nuts trying to solve this thing.
You having fun, Duke?
Oh, sure.
It's probably right in front of our faces.
Right in front of our faces.
Since Caboose was the last clue and it's the last car on a train,
I'm thinking that maybe it has to do with the last letter of every word.
Kate worm!
Yeah, Kate worm.
Oh, thank you.
No.
There's got to be harmony
Oh, Arlene, get out of my brain.
We can make it happen
Come on, Dre, you can do it.
Oh, we can make it happen
One mind, one heart
Make it happen
I've got it.
Make it happen
I figured it out.
That's my Dre. Oh, I knew she could do it.
Really?
This is too cool.
Are you sure you got it?
It's ringing. It's ringing.
Go, Dre!
I knew she could do it. I knew she could do it.
Okay, they're answering.
Come on.
Do it. Do it. Come on.
You're the first caller. What's your answer?
Teamwork?
That's my answer, yes!
You just won $10,000!
No! No, that's my answer!
Did you use the money?
I sure can.
What are you going to use it for?
I don't know! The kids are...
I had it.
...$10,000! I can't believe it!
I can't believe it.
And what's your name, buddy?
I don't know!
All right!
Power 1040, W.W.E.N. Hampton Falls
with our code-buster winner!
Dre, are you mind if I come in?
How you doing, honey?
Mom, I was so close.
I mean, just think of all the good stuff that could have happened.
Right now, I'm too busy thinking about what an amazing daughter I have.
What's so amazing about losing?
Well, how about that a seventh grader was able to crack that code, huh?
Or how about that the only reason she wanted to win was to help her school?
I am so proud of you, sweetheart.
Thanks, Mom.
Of course, I was going to keep the multiplex passes.
Mmm.
What are the official results of the Save the ECA campaign?
Unchanged.
Operation Win Big bit the dust right along with my favorite things to do around here.
Well, you know, there's still a chance that we could sew the mold on these hoagies for medical research.
That's the lettuce, Bobby.
Well, Dre, so sorry to hear about your radio station thing.
I mean, I heard you were this close.
Hello, girls.
Grandfather!
What are you doing here, Duke?
Duke?
I wanted to give Dre something before I went away to New York.
It's kind of a way of showing my appreciation.
Oh, cool. He's giving her a phone.
Speed dialing. You should have won.
Dre, when your grandfather invited me over to the house,
I rediscovered how much fun it is to be a part of a group that's pulling together.
I also figured I'd do my part to help you sap your problem.
So I've drafted a check for $10,000 to your school to help cover your ECA budget.
Wow!
Oh, Mr. Ryder, this is so generous. How can we ever thank you?
Well, Mrs. Long, there is one way.
Next year, I will match dollar for dollar everything that these two girls can raise together.
Together?
Grandfather, you don't know what you're asking. It's impossible.
Honey, nothing is impossible if you work together.
I gotta go.
Now, if you work with Dre, you'll be a great team.
See you later, sweetie.
Code, buster!
Oh, pretty amazing.
You did it. I thought it was impossible, but you did it.
Hey!
Hey, go, hurry, go!
$10,000!
This isn't happening.
She got $10,000 from your grandfather.
She's incredible.
Sorry.
I hate you, Dre Thomas.
You know, it is amazing what can be done when everyone pulls together.
Let's make you to help, right?
Ah, boy. You learned this lesson well.
Come on, a secret adventure. Come on, an incredible ride.
Come on, a secret adventure.
The excitement is high. Won't you come alongside?
Dream a dream and make it true. Make it happen to you.
Take us on a adventure. Come on, a secret adventure.
Come on, an incredible ride. Come on, a secret adventure.
The excitement is high. Won't you come alongside?
Come on, a secret adventure. Come on.
T-H-E-O-E-N-D. The end.
Thank you.
