I just want to play alone right now.
Fine!
Okay, the coast is clear.
Alex, you built all this?
Anna, how did you find me?
Welcome to the royal party, everyone!
Wow, that looks fun.
Anna, can I play too?
I promise I'll be really careful.
No, Alex.
You always get too noisy, and I don't want the party ruined.
I wouldn't ruin it.
See? I'm being careful.
I still want to play by myself.
Why do you always get to decide everything?
Because it's my game, and I want to play by myself.
I just want to play alone right now.
Fine!
When Anna gets her own world,
I'll make my own place, too.
Great.
What's that?
It's completely empty.
I can hide all my toys in here.
It's huge in here.
This is amazing.
This could be a fort, or a spaceship,
or my secret
explorer base.
I'm going to make
this the coolest secret base ever.
This will make the base awesome.
One more thing.
Alex, where are you taking that blanket?
Just to my room.
I'm just making a blanket fort on my bed.
All right, but remember to put everything back
when you're done.
I will.
Much better.
Now it feels like a real hideout.
Captain Alex,
ready for launch.
Explorer Alex entering the mysterious cave.
I wonder what treasure is hiding here.
A secret base.
Nobody gets,
nobody gets
in unless I say so.
Where did he go?
And where did all that stuff go?
Hmm, the coast is clear.
Something was going on.
Hidden door?
You built all this?
Anna, how did you find me?
You can't come in.
You didn't let me play with you before.
This is way more fun than dolls.
That doesn't matter.
This is my place.
That's not fair.
Keep your
secret base.
Do you want some help?
No, I can do it.
Okay.
I've got it.
No.
Thanks.
Here, let me help.
Okay, thanks.
Alex, I'm sorry.
I was being selfish when I wouldn't let you play with me.
I only kept you out because I was mad that you left me out first.
I know.
Okay, you can be part of the base.
But promise you won't tell Mom and Dad yet.
I promise.
She needs a castle.
Then she gets the biggest one.
Now it's our palace.
And our explorer ship! So it belongs to both of us.
Deal?
These will make
it even better.
That's strange.
Where did everything go?
Anna, have you seen the blanket and the cushions from the sofa?
No, I haven't seen them.
This one will make the base look official.
That's odd.
Where's my flashlight?
Alex, can you come here for a second?
Have you seen my big flashlight?
Maybe you left it somewhere else?
Maybe. My flashlight is gone
and Alex seemed nervous. When I asked him...
Anna's been acting strange too.
They keep whispering and disappearing together.
So they're hiding something.
They're definitely hiding something.
Let's give them a chance to tell us first.
Find out.
They won't. As long as we keep it secret.
I hope you're right.
Mission number two starts now.
This time I'm the captain.
Done.
I'm going in first.
Let's watch out.
The door!
Wait, it's stuck.
Come on, move.
Is it opening?
No.
Can you hear us?
What if they don't know where we are?
Keep calling.
They'll hear us.
Anna!
Alex!
Dinner's ready.
They're probably hiding somewhere and playing again.
They should have answered.
Anna?
Alex?
They're not in here.
I can't find them anywhere.
Mom!
Max!
Come here.
I hear them.
I'm coming.
There's an opening under here.
Anna!
We found you!
Dad!
Thank goodness you're both okay.
You scared us so much.
I'm sorry.
We're okay, Dad.
Thank you, Dad.
You brought all of this down here?
This wasn't just something you made today.
Mom, Dad, we lied.
We kept saying we didn't know where things went
because we wanted to hide the base.
Thank you for telling us the truth now.
I felt left out when Anna wouldn't let me play.
I didn't want anyone to take it away.
You hid and could have been hurt.
We need to know where you are to keep you safe.
We're really sorry.
I'm sorry too.
One new rule.
No secrets from Mom and Dad.
Deal!
Best face ever!
Now I agree.

So what is the damage?
This is way over our budget.
We can't afford this.
You need to put that toy box back in its place right now.
But I really want to get this cool rocket toy.
Wait.
Alex, look at this.
It says, no nuts.
Boss Alex is ready for the challenge.
It's a challenge.
Alex, we haven't even started yet.
Alex, check the time. Our challenge starts now.
Relax, Anna. A boss has to make an entrance.
Team, follow me. Follow me.
We have a challenge to win.
Just remember to follow the plan, too.
Wait, Alex. We have to finish the challenge first.
Okay, okay. Show me the plan.
This is your budget for today's challenge.
We get to manage it ourselves?
I'll keep track of every expense.
Three tasks.
Buy the supplies,
collect the cake and flowers,
then deliver everything on time.
I've got it! We can do this!
Stay within the budget,
check every item,
and arrive on time.
Wait, every mistake counts?
That means we need to be careful.
Exactly.
Easy! We'll finish everything!
Then let's stop talking and start moving!
Good luck, team!
First mission, shopping.
Stick to the list, Alex.
I know, I know.
We'll start here, then go to the next aisle.
That saves time.
Yep, yep, I'm listening.
Alex, are you really listening?
Of course.
Whoa, Anna, look at all those toys.
Alex, remember why we're here.
Just one quick look.
This car is amazing.
Hmm, I wanna try it.
It would be so much fun.
I'm the boss today, so I can choose something, too.
Alex, that money is for our challenge.
One toy won't hurt.
So what is the damage?
This is way over our budget. We can't afford this.
You need to put that toy box back in its place right now.
But I really want to get this cool rocket toy.
We are leaving, so put it back.
I really wanted that car.
I know, but we still have a mission to finish.
I don't want to leave it.
Then let's check the budget together before deciding.
Let's calculate it together.
You want me to check it?
Yes, see how much is left.
Okay, let me try.
Wait, this is not enough.
We don't have enough budget left.
Okay, the mission is more important.
Good choice, Alex.
Maybe I can save up for it another time.
That sounds like a real plan.
Water, check.
Paper towels, check.
Great, what's next?
We still need two more things.
Let's keep moving.
Now you're following the plan.
Look, Alex, these two do the same job.
Then why is this one, why is this one more expensive?
That's why we compare before we buy.
Anna, look, this one works too.
And it costs less.
Great find.
We just saved more money.
Exactly.
Smart shopping.
That's everything.
Did we stay under budget?
Yes, we did it.
Our first mission is complete.
Alex, we're behind schedule.
What, already?
We spent too long in the toy section.
Then we need to focus from now on.
Let's go to the bakery first.
Wait, look at the route.
What did you find?
The flower shop is on the way.
We can save time.
The bakery should come first, but this route takes longer.
We can still make it.
We need to choose carefully, not just quickly.
You handle the route.
I'll handle the checklist.
Deal.
We'll work faster as a team.
Shopping mission complete.
Next stop, the flower shop.
Are we ready to go?
We need to keep moving.
Everything is packed and ready.
We're running out of time!
Alex, wait! Look at our team.
They've been helping us carry everything.
They need a short break, too.
Oh, being a leader isn't only about finishing first.
Then what else matters?
You have to care about the people helping you, too.
I think I understand.
Here are some cold water bottles for both of you.
Thank you very much, young man.
Let's check everything again.
Supplies are complete.
Next stop is ready, and we know where we're going.
Good. No more guessing.
Alex, our extra time is almost gone.
Then we can't make another mistake.
Check first, then decide.
Right. Careful and fast.
We're here for the cake order.
Alex, remember to check it carefully.
Welcome. I'll help you find the right one.
They all look almost the same.
Don't guess. Let's check the order.
We're running out of time.
Checking now will save time later.
That one! It looks perfect!
Would you like me to prepare that cake?
Yes, please. We need to hurry.
Wait. Alex, look at this. It says no nuts.
Oh, no. There's no golden star. That means it isn't our cake.
I almost chose the wrong one. Good thing we checked.
Please wait! That isn't our cake!
No problem. Let's check the correct order.
Anna caught it just in time.
Now let's find the golden star.
There! Look at the cake in the corner!
The golden star! That must be ours.
Let's confirm it before we take it.
Right. No more guessing.
I rushed and almost chose the wrong cake.
Being fast is good, but we still have to check.
From now on, I'll check first.
Then we won't waste-
We've got the cake! Let's go!
Alex, careful, keep the box level.
Whoa, I've got it.
Wow, these look amazing.
I can't wait to try them.
Let's share them with everyone.
Please keep this box flat the whole way.
Absolutely, I'll keep it secure.
Perfect, now the cake is safe.
One less thing to worry about.
Okay, where's our flower order?
Remember, check before choosing.
Right, I learned my lesson.
Look at that huge bouquet. Fancy event.
Alex, wait. Are you sure that's our order?
It definitely looks impressive.
Looking impressive doesn't mean it's the right one.
One, two, three, four.
Excuse me, could you help us check our order?
Of course. What are you picking up?
A small bouquet for Ms. Harper's event.
We'd like to make sure we have the correct one.
I'll get it for you.
These smell amazing.
Perfect for the occasion.
Happy to help you.
Oh, excuse me.
Whoa, the flowers. Alex, careful.
I'm sorry.
Got it.
The flowers are safe.
Good save.
Keep them upright.
I'm holding them carefully now.
Alex, we only have a few minutes left.
Then we need to go now.
Flowers upright, cake level.
Everyone, let's move together.
Supplies? All here. Small bouquet? Safe and upright.
Golden star cake? Level and secure.
Great! Everything is correct.
Wait, Alex! I found something.
What is it?
The delivery entrance is behind. Not the main one?
We need to go around. Good catch!
The main entrance is right there.
Remember, deliveries go around the back.
Right, I'm following your route.
This way!
Team, let's go!
Out of time!
Okay, one job. Anna, flowers.
Cake level. Check the list.
Ready.
Cake secure.
Let's finish.
Stay together. We're almost there.
Flowers are safe.
Cake is level. Supplies are secure.
Great. Keep going.
Anna, there's Miss Harper. We found her.
Excuse me, Miss Harper. We have your delivery.
Wonderful. You made it.
We brought everything on the order.
Supplies, correct.
Check.
Small bouquet, correct.
And the cake?
Let me check. Please be the right one.
Everything is correct. Delivery complete.
We made it just in time.
Challenge completed.
Great teamwork.
We completed the challenge, but...
But what, Alex?
I made some mistakes along the way.
It's okay. Tell him what happened.
I'm listening.
I almost spent too much on a toy, chose the wrong cake,
and we both wasted time arguing instead of fixing our mistakes.
And what did those mistakes teach you?
So, what does being a real boss mean?
A real leader takes...
And a leader listens?
Think the team.
That is the real lesson.
It's not about showing off.
It's a board...
After you, team!
Look at you!
Nope, we're a team now.
That sounds like a good leader.
Challenge complete.
Well done, both of you.
Come on, Alex!
Thanks for watching the video!

Alex, I asked you not to touch that cake.
I just came in.
I was trying to clean it up.
But mom...
I didn't do it!
The hose just started spraying!
Look at the water on the door.
I don't believe you.
I didn't spill the flour.
Alex, that's what you said the other times, too.
You really don't believe me?
Nobody in this house believes me!
Alex, wait!
I'll put these plates here, Mom.
Perfect, Alex. Thank you for helping.
Please, don't touch the cake. It's for tonight.
Okay, Mom. Okay.
Absolutely.
I'm so anxious. I simply must have more.
What
happened
here?
Alex, I asked you not to touch that cake.
I just came in. I was trying to clean it up.
But Mom...
We'll talk after this is cleaned.
I should tell her.
I really didn't do it.
Why didn't Mom believe me?
Alex, I'm sorry.
Anna, come downstairs, please.
Coming, Mom.
These papers are important,
so please keep all drinks away from the table.
Okay, Dad. I'll be careful.
Continuous papers are getting wet.
Alex, what happened to my papers?
I was trying to save them.
Anna was here before me.
I only came in when I saw the spill.
Alex, please don't blame your sister.
Just tell me what happened.
I am telling you
what happened.
Alex, please go to your room for a little while.
We'll talk again when everyone is calmer.
OK.
Thanks for helping me put these away, Alex.
No
problem,
Dad.
Alex, what happened here?
Mom, wait! I just turned it off!
I didn't do it! The hose just started spraying!
Look at the water on the door!
I don't believe you.
I don't know. I still might think to store-ins.
My de-dearing stories. Because they can any white.
Where do you think you're going?
Clean up this mess!
I'm not listening to this anymore.
Maybe the cookies
are over here.
What happened?
Anna, please stay and help me clean this.
I... I have to go.
Anna, wait!
I guess I'll clean it up.
Alex, what happened in here?
Dad, wait. I can explain.
Alex, we've talked about being careful more than once.
Dad, I didn't spill it. I was only cleaning it up.
I didn't spill the flour!
Alex, that's what you said the other times, too.
You really don't believe me?
Dad, do you ever really believe me?
Alex, please finish cleaning this up for now.
Okay. I should tell
them the truth.
These are for your craft project.
Please only use them on the paper.
Okay, Mom.
Just one
little
mark.
Wow, this looks so colorful!
What
happened
in here?
Anna? Stop
this before it spreads!
Alex, what happened here?
Why is there paint everywhere?
Wait, I can explain!
Look at this mess! Did you do this?
But Dad, I promise it wasn't me!
Then who painted the couch?
I have no idea how that happened.
Well, I guess we have a lot of cleaning to do.
Anna was here before I came in.
Alex, please don't blame your sister again.
But that's what happened!
You're staying home for the next few days.
And you'll help clean this room.
But Dad, I didn't do this.
I keep telling you the truth.
And nobody listens.
Alex.
Nobody in this house believes me.
Alex, can we talk? Alex?
Alex, where are you?
We need to find him. What is that?
His bow. The paint matches. Anna,
I found this under the table.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Tell me what happened. I did it.
The cake, dad's papers, the hose,
the flour, and the paint.
I was scared,
so I kept running away.
Anna, all of it? Yes.
Alex was telling the truth.
Alex was telling us the truth every time.
And we never really listened.
We have to find him.
Alex, I'm sorry. I did all of it.
You were telling the truth.
I was scared. I'm really sorry.
And I'm sorry too, Alex. I should have listened to you.
Okay, nobody panic. Just tell me what happened.
It was an accident. See? That was much easier.
And much better when we listen first.
