Oh no! We can’t control Rosie with the remote anymore. How are we going to help Felicia get back to the park? We need to get creative! Jax, what are some of her favorite things? Well, besides robo-pets, she loves Japanese anime and fashion. Fashion and anime? Ellie, are you ready for some acting fun?
Ellie was super excited. “Fashion, anime, and drama? Count me in!” she said. “I can’t wait for the fashion show. It’s going to be amazing. Did you hear the theme is anime? It’s going to be so cute! Let’s get to the park. I don’t want to miss a minute of it.” A fashion show with anime? How fabulous is that? Let’s go!
When Ellie and Niah arrived at the park, they met Felicia. “Hey, Ellie and Niah. Are you here for the fashion show?” Felicia asked. “We are,” they replied. But then, Felicia seemed unsure. “Want to try the obstacle course? It’s super fun,” they suggested. “Um, I can’t. Not now. I’ve got to go… uh, somewhere,” Felicia said and hurried away.
Felicia was really good at the obstacles before, but now she seemed nervous. What was Yuki’s advice again? Something about how her eel soup tastes like chicken, or it doesn’t. Maybe it means sometimes people need a little encouragement to try something new.
Ellie and her friends wanted to remind Felicia that she could do it. “Sorry, I just can’t. I have, uh… dog dancing lessons with Rosie. Bye!” Felicia said. But then, Luis had an idea. “Not going to try the obstacle course, Felicia? Don’t blame you. It looks super hard,” he said. Felicia listened as Luis talked about how he saw her do amazing things before.
Felicia thought about it and decided to give it a try. “Hold my bag, would you? I’ll go next,” she said. Everyone cheered, “All right. Let’s go, Felicia. Yeah. You got this!”
Felicia didn’t just run the obstacle course—she set a new record! Everyone was so proud of her. “Great job, team, giving Felicia the perfect training to run that obstacle course,” they said. “Who wants to celebrate with some victory noodles?” “Don’t mind if I do,” Felicia replied. “Wait, what kind are these?” “Well, let’s just say it tastes like chicken,” they laughed.
Design Your Own Obstacle Course: Gather some household items like pillows, chairs, and blankets to create a mini obstacle course at home. Invite your family or friends to try it out. Think about how you can encourage each other to complete the course, just like Ellie and her friends encouraged Felicia. What words or actions make you feel more confident?
Fashion Show at Home: Use your clothes and accessories to create an anime-inspired fashion show. Invite your family to watch or participate. Think about how fashion can express your favorite stories or characters. How does dressing up make you feel? Can you create a story or character based on your outfit?
Encouragement Jar: Create an “Encouragement Jar” by decorating a jar or box. Write down positive messages or words of encouragement on small pieces of paper. Whenever someone in your family needs a boost, they can pick a message from the jar. How does it feel to give and receive encouragement? Can you think of a time when encouragement helped you try something new?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Okay, problem. I can’t control Rosie with the remote anymore. So, how are we going to get Felicia back to the park? By getting creative. Jax, what are her favorite things? Well, after robo-pets, it’s, uh… Japanese anime and fashion. Fashion and anime. Ellie, are you up for a little acting? Fashion. Anime. And drama. Do you even have to ask? I can’t wait for the fashion show. It’s going to be amazing. Did you hear the theme is anime? It’s going to be so cute! Let’s get to the park. I don’t want to miss a minute of it. A fashion show with anime? How fabulous is that? Let’s go!
Hey, Ellie and Niah. Are you here for the fashion show? We are. But I must have mixed up the dates. Felicia, you’re back. Want to try the obstacle course? It’s super fun. Um, I can’t. Not now. I’ve got to go… uh, somewhere. Uh-oh. She’s not going to try it. But she was so good at all the obstacles before. I don’t get it. What was Yuki’s advice again? Something about how her eel soup tastes like chicken, or it doesn’t. But she tells people it does. Maybe that means that sometimes people need a little push to try something new.
You want to encourage Felicia to try the obstacle course? No, not that kind of push. Just to remind her that she can do it. Sorry, I just can’t. I have, uh… dog dancing lessons with Rosie. Bye!
Guess it’s your turn, Luis. Not going to try the obstacle course, Felicia? Don’t blame you. It looks super hard. High-stepping through those tires? Nope, I’d trip for sure. Like you did on those paint cans on the sidewalk today. I saw those cans, but I didn’t trip over them. And that wall climb? No way. I climbed up a wall like that today. And that jumping over the pool of mud? Are you kidding? I don’t want to fall in. Actually, when Rosie was stuck on the other side of a puddle… I did it.
You did what? Never mind. Hold my bag, would you? I’ll go next. And… scene. Okay, guys. I’m ready to try it. All right. Let’s go, Felicia. Yeah. You got this!
Great job, team, giving Felicia the perfect training to run that obstacle course. She didn’t just run it—she set the course record. Who wants to celebrate with some victory noodles? Don’t mind if I do. Wait, what kind are these? Well, let’s just say it tastes like chicken.
