Over, down.
The rabbit pops up, and there--
It's a "friendship knot."
Here. Help me pull it tight.
Whoa! ( all laughing )
( whistle blows )
Gather 'round, buttercups! Hi, mom!
I want you to meet our troop's newest members, peg and meg.
I'm meg, she's peg.
Sorry about that.
It's okay. Our brother gets us mixed up all the time.
I don't know why. Me neither.
We're so different!
So let's give meg and peg a warm buttercup welcome.
♪ buttercups, buttercups, make some room ♪
♪ buttercups, buttercups, watch us bloom! ♪
So, who wants to present meg and peg
With their buttercup vests?
I will, mrs. Hanshaw. Thank you, sofia.
Oh, I'm so excited.
I'm even more excited.
I'm the most excited ever!
You're buttercups now!
Thanks. I can't believe there's a princess
In our buttercup troop.
I can't believe we're at the castle.
It was very nice of the queen to have us over.
It's my pleasure, helen.
Hey, what are those? And why don't we have any?
When you're a buttercup, you explore the great outdoors
And learn new things.
And for every new activity you do,
You get a badge
Which you put on your vest.
I got this one for swimming,
This one for bird-calling,
And this one for unicorn-spotting.
I want to spot unicorns.
And any buttercup who fills
Her entire sash with badges
Earns a special sunflower medallion!
All: Oooohhh! Mmm!
And tomorrow, you'll all get a chance
To earn plenty of badges
Because we're going on a nature hike
Through the pepper tree forest!
All: Yay!
That's where we go sledding in the winter.
I love it there! Not as much as me!
I can't wait for the hike.
I only need one more badge
To fill up my vest and get my sunflower pin.
Only one.
I still need three.
I need two.
We need... ...A lot.
Don't worry.
You'll earn a bunch tomorrow on the hike.
Time to go, girls!
♪ buttercups, buttercups, we sure had fun ♪
♪ buttercups, buttercups... ♪ bye, everyone!
( trumpets blow fanfare )
Baileywick, at the next meeting of the knights,
Let's make it a roundtable.
Dad! Hello there, sofia.
My my. What's this you're wearing? My buttercup uniform.
The buttercups are hiking through pepper tree forest tomorrow.
Now, hold on a moment.
I don't know that the forest
Is a proper place for a princess.
Oh, she'll be fine.
You know, sofia was a buttercup
Before she was a princess.
And I only need one more badge
To get my sunflower pin.
Please, dad.
But what if something happens to you?
Ruby's mother will be there.
Sofia will be perfectly safe.
But she could fall.
Then I guess she'd have to pick herself up.
If I may, your majesty,
I was a groundhog scout as a boy.
Exploring the great outdoors
Gave me skills I use to this very day.
I think princess sofia would learn a lot by going.
That's it! What's it?
Baileywick will accompany sofia.
Me? Baileywick, dad?
Why, with your groundhog experience,
You're the perfect person to make sure sofia
Doesn't get a single scratch.
And I mean not a single scratch.
Not a one, your majesty.
Dad, I don't need baileywick. I'll be fine on my own.
And you'll be even more fine with baileywick.
I just want to make sure that you're safe and sound.
Oh. Okay.
You'll barely notice I'm there, princess sofia.
It'll be a wonderful hike, I promise.
Groundhog's word.
( breathes deeply )
Looks like a perfect day for a hike.
It sure does.
Tallyho!
Good morning, princess! Baileywick?
I've never seen you wear an outfit like that before!
It's my old groundhog uniform.
Isn't it wonderful?
I had to let it out a bit,
But it feels just like old times!
Hut two, hut two, hut two, hut two!
( breathes deeply ) ( fabric rips )
Baileywick: Whoops.
Ooh, dear. No worries.
I have a sewing kit in my backpack.
From the look of it, you have a whole sewing machine in your backpack.
A groundhog is always prepared.
I'll be just a moment, your majesties.
Mom...! Don't worry. Everything will be just fine.
Where's sofia?
( fanfare blows )
Princess sofia of enchancia.
Both: Hi, sofia!
Hey!
And who do we have here? This is baileywick.
I'll be joining you today, on the king's orders.
Ah. A royal escort.
Well, as long as you keep up with the buttercups, it's fine by me.
I was once a groundhog scout,
So I'm quite at home in the wild.
( comical gasp )
( blows whistle ) let's move out, buttercups.
And you too, groundhog.
Let's put the "great" in the great outdoors.
( all laughing ) ( tooting whistle )

Go, buttercups!
Hold up, buttercups.
Time for a water break.
Finally. Ohh.
Allow me, princess. Ohh!
It's your throne away from home.
I can sit on the ground with everyone else.
I wouldn't hear of it!
Now, how about some ice water?
( nervous chuckle ) okay, buttercups...
Here's your first chance to earn a badge--
The birdhouse badge.
Oh, goodie! The birdhouse badge!
What do we have to do?
You have to build a birdhouse out of twigs and bark.
All righty, then, go to it.
Buttercups, bloom!
Ow!
You okay? Oh, yeah, it's just a scratch.
( gasps ) a scratch?!
Not a single scratch!
Princess, allow me!
Building birdhouses was my specialty when I was a groundhog!
But baileywick, I can do it myself.
Yes, but why should you when I can do it for you?
I'm going to make the biggest birdhouse!
I'm going to make the bebirdhouse!
I'm almost done! Me too!
Peg! Meg!
So, how are we doing, buttercups?
All done!
Hmm. That is quite impressive, sofia.
But to earn a badge, each buttercup
Must do the project by herself.
Yes, mrs. Hanshaw, I know.
But I only helped a little.
Sofia found the tree bark.
Mm-hmm.
Way to grow, buttercups.
You two have earned your birdhouse badges.
( sighs ) I didn't even get a chance to try.
Now in only need one more badge
To get my sunflower pin, just like you.
That's... Great!
I know how you feel.
We didn't get a badge, either.
You'll get one. Just keep trying.
We're going to. You too, sofia.
I will.
( audibly struggling )
I just have to make sure I do the next project by myself.
Hey there, groundhog.
Remember the buttercups motto.
"buttercups, buttercups, make some room."
"buttercups, buttercups, watch us bloom."
That's right.
Well, it's time you made some room
So your buttercup can bloom.
We can't do it all for them,
Or they'll never learn.
Back on the trail, buttercups.
Oh, allow me.
( chuckles ) hold up there, groundhog.
Red carpets might work at the palace,
But buttercups can do this by themselves.
But it's so slippery!
Is it now?
Hmm.
Whoa!
Groundhog overboard!
Need a hand there?
Ohh, thank you.
( frog croaks )
( frog croaks; water splashes )
Here we go, buttercups.
Who can tell me what badge this is?
Oh, I know! Wood-gathering!
Exactly, ruby dear.
We need wood for our cookout.
Every buttercup who gathers a pile of wood
Gets a badge.
All righty, let's pick up sticks! ( all giggling )
Be careful when you grab them, girls!
Nobody likes a splinter!
( gasps ) splinters!
( munching )
Um... I hate to interrupt, mr. Squirrel,
But I could really use that log.
Oh, why certainly.
Just a moment while I finish up lunch.
( munching )
Allow me, princess.
I'll gather your wood in no time.
Baileywick!
Hmph! How rude!
Wait! Baileywick!
Allow me.
Ohh! Not again.
Okay, buttercups, what do we have?
Nice work, girls!
Hmm?
Ahem.
I'm just holding them for the princess.
It only counts when she does it by herself.
Good job, you two.
You earned your first buttercup badge.
Both: Our first badge!
( giggling )
And here's your badge, ruby.
Thanks, mom.
Jade, you've earned your last badge,
And that means you'll get a sunflower pin
At the end of the hike.
Well done!
Jade, you did it!
You earned your sunflower!
And now I only need one more.
Just like me.
You should talk to baileywick.
Ask him to stop helping you.
Hmm. Good idea.
All righty, then, buttercups,
You've got the logs, now cook your dogs.
Allow me.
Huh. I'm going to talk to him.
You're in luck, sofia.
I was the best hot dog cooker in my groundhog troop.
Baileywick, I can do it myself.
I can do all these things if you'd let me.
And I have to if I'm going to earn my sunflower pin.
I promised your father you wouldn't get a single scratch.
But you promised me I'd have a good time.
You gave your groundhog word.
I did, didn't I?
Okay, the next project,
By yourself, no matter what.
Thanks, baileywick.
I suppose you'll want to cook your own hot dog, too.
I have a better idea.
I'll cook one for you,
And you'll cook one for me?
That would be delightful, princess.
( chuckles )
( baileywick huffing and puffing )
Buttercups, it's time to find out
How well you know your wildflowers.
Everyone must pick a bouquet of daisies and daffodils.
But be careful not to touch any meddlesome myrtle.
My cousin touched meddlesome myrtle once,
And he got a terrible rash.
His hands turned red and itchy,
And then his head blew up like a pumpkin.
But since you've all seen what meddlesome myrtle
Looks like in your buttercup manuals, you'll be fine.
All righty, then, let's pick some flowers.
What if she touches the meddlesome myrtle?
There. I've got enough daisies,
But what do daffodils look like?
Hmm.
There! I've got lots of daffodils,
But what do daisies look like?
Hmm.
Mom!
Let's see-- daisies, check.
Daffodils, check.
Oh, you did it, ruby.
You got your final badge.
I'm so proud of my girl.
( gasps ) I'm going to get my sunflower pin!
Yeeeeeee! That's great!
I only need a few more daisies.
Wait!
I know I promised not to help,
But I can't risk you touching
That meddlesome myrtle,
So I picked these for you.
But your flowers!
I know. Aren't they lovely?
That's meddlesome myrtle!
What?!
Look! There's the red rash!
Oh, dear!
And the itching!
Oh, my!
( all gasping ) yep, he's got the pumpkin head!
Aaahhh! Oh, no!
Meddlesome myrtle!
( baileywick gasping comically )
Don't worry, help is on the way!
Oh, it's so itchy.
I guess the groundhogs never learned
What meddlesome myrtle looks like.
But you're going to be just fine--
Itchy, but fine.
It'll be okay, baileywick.
Are you sure he's going to be all right?
I think so, sofia, but we'd better head
Back to the castle, just in case.
Buttercups, get ready to move out!
Sofia, if we go back now,
You won't earn your last badge.
And you won't get your sunflower pin.
I know.
But we need to help baileywick.
Uh-oh.
What is it?
The trail is so twisty and steep,
It'll be hard for baileywick to climb down.
Hmm. Maybe there's another way
To get down the mountain.
What about this way?
It doesn't look nearly as steep!
Oh, oh, oh! I know that slope!
That's where we go sledding in the winter.
It's super fun!
That's it! We can build a sled!
But there's no snow!
We don't need snow.
We can just slide down the grass.
That's a great idea, sofia,
But it'll take a long time to build the sled,
Don't you think?
We can do it!
All we need to do is work together.
We'll gather big pieces of wood
Like we did for the campfire
And tie them together,
Like we did with the birdhouses.
( laughing ) you're right.
Well, then, go to it.
Great. Ruby, you and jade collect twine.
Meg, peg and I will gather wood.
Come on!
Now, let's tie them together.
Here, let me do it. No, I can do it.
Hey, guys, I know you're both really excited about doing this.
I'm really excited! I'm moexcited!
But you'd get more done if you'd work together.
That's the buttercup way.
Here, I'll show you.
They're called friendship knots.
Meg, you pull this end,
Then you pull here, peg.
There! You did it!
Let's do more! ( peg and meg giggle )
Looks like sofia's doing just fine
On her own, baileywick.
Sofia's a remarkable princess.
She's more than that.
She's a remarkable buttercup.
All aboard!
We'll push on the count of three!
Baileywick: Wait!
In my backpack, I have helmets for everyone
Safety first!
( laughing ) you aprepared!
A good groundhog always is!
Okay, buttercups, one... Two...
Push!
( all giggling )
Ah! We made it!
Well, how does he look, doctor?
That's a nasty case of meddlesome myrtle,
But he'll be all right, your majesty.
( sighs ) baileywick, thank you.
For what, your majesty?
For going through so much trouble
To keep sofia safe.
But she didn't need me at all.
Didn't need you? What do you mean?
I needed her.
If not for sofia's quick thinking,
We wouldn't have gotten back so fast.
You should have seen the way she took charge and led the other girls.
It would have reminded you of... Well, yourself.
( chuckles ) well, I'll be!
Are you okay, baileywick?
I'm going to be fine, sofia. Itchy, but fine.
Glad to hear it, groundhog.
Now, if you don't mind,
We have some sunflower pins to hand out.
Girls, you worked hard to earn these pins,
And you've made me proud.
( all celebrating ) we're not done yet.
I have one last badge to present.
You do? To who?
Sofia.
Me? Please step forward.
Sofia, when you found a way to get baileywick back home,
You were a true leader,
So you have earned the leadership badge.
( gasps ) that was my last badge!
Which means you too have earned your sunflower pin today!
All: Yay!
Congratulations, all of you!
That'll be you someday.
Sofia, I'm so proud of you.
And so am I.
I never should have doubted you, sofia,
And I won't ever again.
Thanks, dad.
Oh, baileywick, we have something for you.
The girls would like to make you
An honorary buttercup troop leader.
And you've already earned your first badge--
The being prepared badge.
I'm honored, mrs. Hanshaw,
But I'm afraid I can't put it on.
Oh, allow me.
I guess I'm not a groundhog anymore.
Nope. You're a buttercup.
Girls: All right! Yay!
