(Music playing)

Posy, an animated brown mouse, steps forward,

Posy cries, PIP!

Pip is an animated grey rabbit in a green and white striped shirt.

Pip says, POSY!

(Both laughing)

They run to each other and dance. Posy wears a red shirt and a blue skirt.

Pip carries Posy on his back. Posy carries a toy frog and tosses it in the air.

Posy says, OOP!

Posy catches the frog and Pip catches a toy pig.

Posy calls, COME ON!

Both say, LET'S PLAY!

(Both laughing)

Pip and Posy run and skip over a white background.

A title reads: Pip and Posy

(Music playing)

A red backpack is on a park bench.

Pip says, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN.

Pip turns away from a tree and looks around.

Pip says, LOOKING HIGH, LOOKING LOW. HERE I GO. HMM. POSY-OSY-OSY?

(Giggling)

Pip runs along a path.

Pip says, YOU MUST BE CLOSE. I CAN SMELL YOUR STINKY FEET.

(Posy giggling)

Pip says, HA!

Pip looks at a bush.

Pip says, HMM.

Pip turns away and Posy peeks out. There is a ladybug on a leaf.

(Gasping)

Posy says, OOH.

The ladybug opens its wings.

(Wings flapping)

Posy jumps up from behind the bush.

Posy cries, PIP!

Pip says, HUH?

Posy cries, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.

Pip says, I AM LOOKING...FOR YOU.

Posy pulls Pip closer to the ladybug.

Posy says, QUICK, QUICK, QUICK.

Pip says, AW.

Posy says, SHE'S SO SPOTTY.

(Gasping)

Posy looks at her skirt. It is blue with white spots.

Posy says, LIKE ME.

Pip says, YEAH. SPOTTY-DOTTY.

(Posy gasping)

Posy says, THAT'S WHAT I'LL CALL HER. HELLO, SPOTTY DOTTY.

Pip gets up.

Pip says, BYE, SPOTTY DOTTY. OKAY. LET'S GO.

Posy says, OOH, I WISH SHE COULD PLAY WITH US.

Pip says, COME ON. HIDE AGAIN. GO, GO, GO!

(Pip laughing)

Pip turns to face the tree. He covers his eyes.

Pip says, ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN.

Pip turns. Posy is behind him, holding a glass bottle with the ladybug in it.

Pip says, OH.

Posy cries, TA-DA!

Pip says, SPOTTY DOTTY? WHAT'S SHE DOING IN THERE?

Posy says, NOW, SHE CAN PLAY WITH US.

Pip says, UH, SHE LOOKS LONELY.

Posy says, NO, SHE'S NOT. SHE HAS A SUPER SPECIAL FRIEND: ME! LOOK HOW HAPPY SHE IS.

Posy holds up the bottle. The ladybug blinks.

Pip blinks, HMM.

Posy says, COME ON. LET'S SHOW HER THE PLAYGROUND.

Posy runs off.

Jamila is looking at a crow. Jamila is red squirrel in a green sweater and tan shorts. She holds a paper bag.

Jamila says, HERE YOU ARE.

(Cawing)

Posy says, JAMILA, LOOK WHAT I FOUND.

Jamila says, OOH. SPOTTY-LICIOUS. AND NOW, YOU GET TO SET HER FREE!

Posy says, NO. WE'RE TAKING HER TO THE PLAYGROUND.

Jamila says, WHAT? SHE WON'T WANT TO GO THERE IN A BOTTLE.

Posy runs off.

Posy says, SEE YOU LATER, JAMILA-BA-VILLA.

Pip calls, POSY, WAIT. JAMILA IS RIGHT. YOU SHOULDN'T KEEP HER IN A BOTTLE.

Pip runs after Posy.

(Crow cawing)

Jamila says, OH. HERE.

Jamila takes seeds from the paper bag and scatters them around. She skips off, as more crows descend. A tall fox jumps back and drops an ice cream cone.

(Cawing)

Posy runs around a playground.

Posy says, SO, THAT'S THE SEESAW, AND THERE'S THE ROCKET. WHOA, WHOA!

Pip says, POSY, LET SPOTTY OUT SO SHE CAN GO WHERE SHE WANTS TO GO.

Posy says, I KNOW WHERE SHE WANTS TO GO. THE SLIDE.

Pip says, HMM?

Posy asks, DON'T YOU, SPOTTY?

(Posy giggling)

Posy holds the bottle and climbs up a slide.

Pip says, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.

Posy stands on top of the slide.

Posy says, LOOK, SPOTTY. YOU CAN SEE THE SANDPIT FROM HERE.

Pip calls, I THINK YOU SHOULD LET HER OUT NOW, POSY.

Posy says, BUT WE'RE HAVING FUN.

Posy slides down.

Pip says, YOU ARE, BUT WHAT IF SPOTTY ISN'T?

Posy says, SHE IS. I CAN TELL.

Pip says, BUT POSY...

(Posy sighing)

Pip asks, WHAT IF SHE...SHE'S HUNGRY?

Posy says, FINE. I'LL GO FIND SOME YUMMY LEAVES FOR HER.

Pip says, HMM.

Posy sets the bottle down and walks away.

(Pip sighing)

Pip sits and picks up the bottle.

Pip says, POOR SPOTTY DOTTY. WANT SOME FRESH AIR?

Pip tilts the bottle and the ladybug crawls out onto his arm.

Pip says, AH. STRETCH YOUR LITTLE LEGGIES.

The ladybug flies away.

(Wings flapping)

(Pip shouting)

Pip cries, SPOTTY! YOU CAN FLY? COME BACK! PLEASE COME BACK.

Pip reaches for the flying ladybug.

(Grunting)

(Posy giggling)

Posy carries leaves.

(Pip gasping)

Posy asks, WHERE'S SPOTTY DOTTY?

Pip says, SHE-- SHE FLEW AWAY.

Posy says, WHAT? HOW?

Pip says, I LET HER OUT.

(Posy gasping)

Posy cries, WHERE DID SHE GO?

Pip says, I TRIED TO FOLLOW HER, BUT SHE WENT TOO FAR.

Posy cries, PIP, I LOVED SPOTTY DOTTY, AND NOW SHE'S GONE FOREVER... ...BECAUSE OF YOU.

Posy turns away.

Posy calls, SPOTTY? SPOTTY?

Pip looks upset.

Pip says, OH. I'LL HELP YOU FIND HER.

(Cawing)

Jamila turns to a crow on the ground.

Jamila says, SORRY, JOHN. ALL GONE. I'LL BRING DOUBLE FOR YOU TOMORROW.

Jamila puts the paper bag in a recycling container.

Posy calls, SPOTTY?

Posy runs toward Jamila. The crow flies off.

(Cawing)

Posy says, JAMILA, PIP LOST MY LADYBIRD. HAVE YOU SEEN HER?

Jamila says, UM, NO.

(Jamila gasping)

Jamila says, BUT I KNOW A SECRET LADYBIRD PLACE.

(Posy gasping)

Jamila leads Posy to a bush.

Jamila says, HERE WE ARE.

Posy says, OH.

Jamila moves leaves aside. Ladybugs are clustered on other leaves.

(Wings flapping)

A ladybug lands on a leaf.

Posy says, WOW. THAT'S HER! OH, DID YOU MISS ME, SPOTTY?

(Wings flapping)

The ladybug crawls toward another ladybug.

Jamila says, SHE FOUND A NEW FRIEND.

Posy says, HMM. SHE HAS LOTS OF LADYBIRD FRIENDS HERE. MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE KEPT HER IN A BOTTLE.

Jamila says, HUH. THAT'S WHAT PIP SAID. LET'S SHOW HIM.

Posy says, UM, MAYBE LATER.

Jamila asks, WHY NOT SOONER?

Posy says, HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT SPOTTY, AND I WAS A BIG MEANIE TO HIM. HE'LL BE CROSS.

Jamila asks, WON'T HE JUST BE GLAD SPOTTY IS SO HAPPY?

(Music playing)

Posy gives Jamila the bottle.

Posy says, YOU'RE RIGHT. WAIT HERE. I'LL GO GET HIM.

Posy runs. Jamila turns to the bush.

Jamila says, HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE, SPOTTY? ONE, TWO—

(Wings flapping)

(Giggling)

Jamila says, SIT STILL! ONE, TWO—

Pip is in the playground.

(Pip sighing)

Posy calls, PIP?

Pip says, OH, POSY, I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND HER.

Posy says, I DID.

Pip says, REALLY? WHERE?

Posy says, PLAYING WITH ALL HER FRIENDS. YOU'RE RIGHT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE PUT HER IN A BOTTLE. SORRY, PIP.

Pip says, IT'S OKAY. CAN YOU SHOW ME?

Posy says, OH, YES.

They run off.

(Both giggling)

Jamila kneels by the bush.

Jamila says, ONE, TWO--

Posy cries, IT'S OVER HERE.

(Panting)

Jamila says, OH, I LOST COUNT AGAIN.

Posy and Pip kneel by the bush.

Posy says, TA-DA.

Pip says, WOW. SO MANY.

(Giggling)

Pip asks, WHICH ONE IS SPOTTY DOTTY?

Posy says, NO IDEA.

Pip says, SHE'S BETTER AT HIDE-AND-SEEK THAN YOU.

(All laughing)

Posy says, RIGHT. YOU TWO HIDE AND I'LL COUNT.

Jamila says, OOH!

Posy covers her eyes.

Pip hides behind a tree. Jamila crouches behind a spindly bush.

Posy says, ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN.

A ladybug flies into the sky.
