[Whoosh, thump, popping]

DESCRIPTION: Ollie and Moon parachute into a nest on top of a palm tree, and four birds pop up beside them. Ollie and Moon’s silhouettes run past skyscrapers, the Statue of Liberty, and a Ferris Wheel. In Venice, Moon paddles a gondola, and Ollie crosses a nearby bridge. On the African savanna, Moon stands near zebras and shades her right eye with her hand. She smiles and runs. In the Arctic, Ollie drops binoculars and runs, smiling. He and Moon hug in front of their building.
