[Sprocket whimpering]

Aw.

Sprocket? Sprocket, wake up. You're having a nightmare.

[whines]

Oh, there, there. It's all right.

You're safe now. It was just a dream.

[whimpering]

You saw a ghost? A goblin?

[whimpering]

And now you think the workshop is haunted?

Sprocket. You've been eatingpickled gherkins, haven't you?

Well, that's why you had the nightmare.

Now, now, now, there are no ghosts in here.

And I'll invent a ghost detectorto prove it.

Yeah, I'll need a rheostatand a couple of resistors.

[whimpering]

[sighs]

[sniffing]

It's no use, Wembley.

Why, between Uncle Matt and I, there's nothing left to explore.

Well, um, what aboutthe Crystal Cavern, Gobo?

Oh, we already mapped that.

Ah, there's nothing for me to do.

[Wembley gasps]

-Oh! Oh! Oh! Gobo.-Yeah?

Mokey said to pick upan extra radish today.

[sighs]

All I seem to be good for is goingto the Gorgs' garden to get radishes.

-Oh.-Huh. Some explorer I am.

[groans]

[Junior Gorg groaning]

Oh, 'tis only for one night, O empress of shadows and light.

No need to bring half the kingdom.

Let me give you a hand there, son.

And don't forget these too, dear.-I'll take this one.

And don't forget these too, dear.-I'll take this one.

My little beastie of burden. [laughs]

-That'll be the other half, Daddy.-Yeah.

Oh, egad. By the time we get going, it will be time to come back.

Why, all this won't even fitinside the cottage.

It'll sink into the swamp.

What kind of vacation will that be?

Gorgs going on a vacation?

That's it. My problem is solved.

-I got the rope.-Got the rope.

-Pickax.-[all] Pickax.

Hey, Gobo, I haven't seen youthis excited about an expedition

since you and your uncle foundCrystal Cavern.

Oh, Gobo, can't you tell uswhere you're going? Please?

[Wembley] Shh.

Hey, can't you seehe's preparing mentally?

-[gasps]-[Boober] Mentally.

-Ooh.-Ooh.

-Wow.-Ooh.

Oh, come on, you guys. [sighs]

It's probably no place special.

Oh, that's where you're wrong. It's special, all right.

-Yeah?-[Boober] Probably.

If you've seen one cave, you've seen 'em all.

If you've seen one cave, you've seen 'em all.

Well, you haven't seen this one.

-[gasps]-[growls]

Gobo, if you don't tell uswhere you're going,

my eyeballs will pop right out of my head!

[laughs] Okay, okay.

-Look...-What?

Remember when I found that tunnel

that took me right insidethe Gorgs' castle?

-Yeah.-Uh-huh.

Well, tonight, I'm going insideand finish this map.

-[gasps]-You what?

Spending the night in the Gorgs' castle?

Well, hey, it's all in a day... or night's work, as the case may be.

[Wembley] Wow.

With a herd of rampaging Gorgstrying to eat you alive.

Gorgs? Well, actually, the Gorgs won't...

Oh, Gobo, you will be a hero.

Yeah.

-No, I won't.-Or dead.

No, I won't.

Or both.

Oh, Wembley, what I'm doing isn't heroic.

I was on my way outto get Mokey's radish...

Gobo, the first Fraggle to spend the nightin the Gorgs' castle.

Gobo, the first Fraggle to spend the nightin the Gorgs' castle.

And modest too.

-Oh, you'll go down in Fraggle history.-[Red] Yeah.

-If you survive.-Mm-hmm.

Hey, come on. Let's spread the wordabout Gobo's bravery.

-[Wembley] Yes!-Gorgs will never know what hit 'em.

-No. Wait. Wait.-[all clamoring]

But... But... I'm gonna be... alone in the castle.

Now, my son, while your mother's busy, we have a chance to speak Gorg-to-Gorg.

There comes a time in every Gorg's life,

and tonight is that time for you.

Uh, what do you mean, Daddy?

Uh, come... come down here, son.

Your mother and Iare going to the cottage alone.

You're old enough to spend the nightin the castle by yourself.

I am? Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy![chucking]

Yes. And I, the lord of the universe, ruler of fire and air,

entrust you, my son and heirto the throne, entrust you, my son and heirto the throne,

with the solemn and sacred taskof guarding the castle.

Oh, you won't be sorry.

Above all, you must guard with your life

the most valuableof all Gorgish possessions,

the crown jewel.

-That's the crown jewel?-Of course it is.

Been handed downfrom generation to generation.

Just as my father gave itto me to protect,

now I give it to you.

Well, you can count on me, Daddy.

[both laugh]

Now, since you are a grown Gorg, we share the Gorgish oath.

[both] Inky-dinky-waddley-poo.

Noxy-nosey-giggley-goo.

Tiddley-pom. Tiddley-pom.

Tiddley-sis-boom-bah.

With a hey, nonny-nonnyand a hot cha-cha.

[both laughing]

Egad. What's all this?

I have to bring my makeup.

After all, this is our second honeymoon, isn't it, duckykins? [giggles]

After all, this is our second honeymoon, isn't it, duckykins? [giggles]

Oh, bring anything you want, my little sponge cake.

Uh, Junior can carry it.

But, Pa, you said I wasn't going.

You're going, but you're not staying.

And, Junior, don't make any garlic popcornwhile we're gone.

Oh, Ma.

Oh, don't "oh, Ma" me.

You know garlic popcorngives you an upset tummy

and you start seeing things.

And don't stay up late.

We'll be home early in the morning.

Mm. But not too early, eh, my little passion fruit?

[both laugh]

Imagine.

A romantic night at the cottage.

Ah, yes.

The swamp smells wonderfulat this time of year.

-Mm. [chuckles]-Yuck.

-[Mokey] Uh-oh.-[Red] Whoa.

-[Mokey] Come on.-[both squeal]

[Pa Gorg] Okay, Junior, let's get going.

Wait a minute.

- They're leaving.-Yeah. - They're leaving.-Yeah.

The castle's gonna be empty.

So that's why Gobo wanted to go tonight.

[growls] Some hero.

Red, Red, I know that look in your eye.

Gobo thinksthere's nothing to be afraid of.

Well, we'll show himsomething to be afraid of.

-Well... Oh, come on. [growls]

Red!

Ha! Well, Wembley, see you in the morning.

Oh, bye, Gobo.

[giggles]

Gosh. I'm gonna be the best friend

to the greatest heroin the history of Fraggle Rock.

And while he spends the nightin the Gorgs' castle all by himself,

I'll be spending the night in our roomall by myself.

Uh... [humming]

Now, let's see, if my calculations are right,

it should be right down this passage.

[Wembley panting]

Oh, Gobo, wait! Wait! Stop, stop!

I... I don't wanna spend the night alone. Can I come with you?

I... I don't wanna spend the night alone. Can I come with you?

Oh, if you want to.

I know you're gonna be busydodging those marauding Gorgs.

I won't get in your way, I promise.

Wembley, listen, about those Gorgs: They really won't be a problem.

Oh, I know.'Cause you can handle 'em.

You're the bravest Fraggle alive.

Uh, Wembley... Uh...

Gee, now I almost wishthe Gorgs were home.

[gasps] What am I saying?

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I got the whole castle to myself now.

[laughs] I'm gonna stay up lateand make lots of garlic popcorn

Uh-oh. I can't forget my promiseto protect the crown jewel.

Yeah. Before the fun can start, I gotta find a safe place to keep it.

Yeah. Before the fun can start, I gotta find a safe place to keep it.

Uh... maybe there's something in the shed.

Yeah. [chuckles] Ooh.

[door rattles]

[Gobo] Well, Wembley, here we are, at the Gorgs' castle.

[grunting, sighs]

Wembley?

-Wembley.-Uh... yeah, Gobo?

Get in here.

You don't see any Gorgs, do you?

If I saw any Gorgs, would I be standing out here?

Huh. Good point.

Wow!

Now, first thing to dois make a base camp.

But, Gobo, the Gorgs might see us.

-Wembley? Read my lips.-Huh?

There are no Gorgs.

-Oh.-Now, come on. Let's check this room.

[whimpers]

[chuckles]

This old chest will be the perfect placeto stash the crown jewel.

Ooh, better lock the door.

One never knows, do one? [giggling]

Now, I'll just put thison the table in the...

Oh, I forgot. The table's at the cottage. Oh, I forgot. The table's at the cottage.

And so are the chairs.

Well, I'll just put it right here. Then I won't be able to forget about it.

[chuckles]

Ooh. Now time to make some garlic popcorn.

[chuckles]Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

[Wembley whimpers]

Wembley, you've gotta stopseeing Gorgs around every corner.

-Just calm down. Calm down.-Oh, all right.

-[screams] Gobo!-Wembley.

This thing wasn't here before. I know it. It wasn't.

It must have been. We just didn't notice it.

-Oh, sure.-Wembley.

-What?-Look at that neat Gorgish artifact.

-[crash]-[screams]

We're gonna be eaten alive! Let's get out of here!

[yelling]

Gobo, what are you doing? Hurry! Hurry!

Maybe it's not the best nightto map the Gorg castle.

I'll say.

But at least we can take backthis neat Gorgish artifact.

Okay, let's go.

-[spooky voice]-[gasps]

Gobo, listen. [pants]

-[ghostly screaming]-The Gorgs are down there too!

Wembley, there are no Gorgs.

- No Gorgs. No Gorgs. None.-None. - No Gorgs. No Gorgs. None.-None.

-Nowhere.-Nowhere.

Okay, okay, okay.

But if there are no Gorgs, Gobo,

that means the castle is...

[both] ...haunted.

-[clattering]-[whimpering]

Oh, that'll teach hotshot hero Goboa lesson.

Yeah. I guess.

Making spooky sounds scared Goboand Wembley right out of their skins.

Of course it did.

It's all right here in my edition ofFright and Terror for the Faint of Heart.

Ooh! Let's go inside and have some funwith that black ball.

Gobo thinks he's taking it backfor the museum. Ha! Come on.

Wait. Are you insane? That is the Gorgs' castle in there.

Well, Boober, the Gorgs aren't home, remember?

-Yeah.-Well, there's still Gorg germs in there.

-What... I'm getting out of here.

Okay. Too bad you'll missthe famed Gorg gourmet pantry.

A pantry. The...

Pantry?

Gosh. It must be huge.

[both] Huge.

Well, if you're sure it's safe.

Boober, it's perfectly safe. There isn't a Gorg anywhere near here.

Boober, it's perfectly safe. There isn't a Gorg anywhere near here.

-Yeah. Come on.-Come on.

-Mm. Okay.-Here we are.

[gasps]And there's Gobo and Wembley. Ha!

Ooh, uh, let's hide over there.

Oh. Yeah. Okay.

Wembley, don't be scared.

It was probably just the windthat made that noise.

Look, it's getting kind of stormy outside,

and there are no Gorgs around, and the castle is not haunted.

There are no Gorgs, and the castle is not haunted.

It's not working, Gobo. I just don't believe myself.

Well, here. Let me read you the latest postcard

from my Uncle Travelling Matt.

That'll calm you down.

After tonight, I'll never be calm again.

"Dear Nephew Gobo"... [Matt] The other day... [squeals]

I was astounded to discoverthat there are Gorgs here in Outer Space.

Here was my chanceto map the inside of a Gorg's castle.

[grunts]

As luck would have it, I am the bravest Fraggle in Outer Space.

[door closes]

As I was calmly going about my business, a rather interesting thing happened.

-[telephone rings]-[shrieks]

Someone... or something... started ringing bells.

But I wasn't afraid.

[whimpering, gasps]

-[clock chimes]-[yells]

So your old Uncle Mattmade a decision.

[gasps]

[exhales]

[nervous chuckle]

[shrieks]

I would map the castle from memory.

- "Love, your Uncle Travelling Matt." - [Wembley snoring]

Well, time to get busy mapping this place, huh, Wembley?

[Wembley snores]

Oh, well, you just stay here at base campand keep an eye on that black ball.

[sighs]

-[crashing]-[Junior Gorg coughing]

Well, another batch of garlic popcornup in smoke.

[chuckles] Maybe I should use morepeanut butter. Yeah, that's it.

-[Wembley snoring]-Shh. Don't wake Wembley up.

Gobo wanted to take this backfor the museum.

This'll drive him crazy. [laughs]

-Um, Red...-Now, where can we hide it?

Uh, look.

-Perfect.-Yeah.

[both laughing]

Oh.

-[Red chuckles] Oh, boy.-What kind of room is that?

-It must be some kind of Gorg closet.-Ooh.

Let's go find their pantry.

You know, just one Gorg trufflewould last me a whole year.

-Yeah. Mm-hmm.-Oh.

[all grunting]

[giggling]

-[Junior yells]-[crash]

[Wembley screaming]

Whoa, Wembley, did you hear that?

Hear it? I practically swallowedmy tongue. Let's get out of here.

Hear it? I practically swallowedmy tongue. Let's get out of here.

Well... I... I can't leave.

This is my only chanceto map the castle.

Oh, it was probably just the storm.

-[grunting]-See?

Oh, sure, sure.

It might also be a herd of Gorgsgetting ready to roast our giblets.

I keep telling you, it can't be Gorgs.

-[groans]-Hey.

-What?-Where's the black ball?

It's gone. Oh, Gobo, it keeps gettingworse and worse and worse.

Wembley, I'm not leaving herewithout that black ball.

-But... Come on.

[groans]

Well, accidents will happen.

I hope Mommy doesn't noticethe peanut butter on the ceiling. [laughs]

But at least I got my popcorn.

[gasps] Oh, no. The crown jewel.

Why, it... it's gone.

I've been robbed.

Wait. The door.

It's still locked.

That means the thiefis still in the castle?

Oh, no.

Well, I made my promise, and I must keep it.

I gotta find it beforeMommy and Daddy get back.

I gotta find it beforeMommy and Daddy get back.

Thief? Oh, thief.

There's some very good advice in this bookabout mysterious explosions.

-Get away from them!-Oh!

I can't find that ball anywhere.

Gobo, wasn't there a holeto Fraggle Rock here someplace?

-[yelling]-[Gobo] You're right.

[all yelling]

-[screaming]-Move!

Is that you, thief?

[gulps] Good thingl brought some protection.

-[thunder]-[yells] What was that?

Maybe the thief is hiding in the armor.

O-Okay, thief.

[stammers] Stick 'em up.

I got you covered.

The... The jig is up.

[whimpers]

[exclaims]

Oh, maybe Mommy was rightabout garlic popcorn.

Maybe I'm seeing thingsand hearing things too.

Oh, where did you go, crown jewel?

Daddy's gonna be awful madif you don't come home.

Daddy's gonna be awful madif you don't come home.

[both screaming]

-[spluttering]-Fraggles!

-More Fraggles.-[whimpering]

[yells]

[clock chiming]

[rattling]

The crown jewel. You came back.

Wait a minute.

You're the jewel thieves.

-Who?-[stammers] Us?

[all] And you're the ghost?

You mean, all those noises, that was you?

And you?

And you?

It was just Fraggles all along. [laughs]

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. If you guys were the...

And you made all the...

Then... what's that?

-[Junior gasps]-[thunder]

[Sprocket snoring]

[machine whirring]

Sprocket's settled down now, Ned.

But I'll let you in on a little secret.

The ghost detector I invented is a fake.

Yes. Oh, I just threw together

a lot of old junkl had lying around the workshop

so Sprocket would think it works.

And this way, Sprocket doesn't worryabout the workshop being haunted.

[chuckles] Yeah, well...

it's time for meto turn in, Ned. Goodbye.

[thunder]

[siren wailing]

-[barks]-Sprocket. Sprocket. Sprocket.

It just can't be ghosts.

It just can't.

[Sprocket whimpering]

[siren wailing]

[Gobo] Anybody see anything else?

-[Red] Just lots of wind and lightning.-[Junior] Maybe it's a thief.

-Or a ghost.-[Wembley] Or both!

We have movedto a new level of anxiety here.

If Mommy and Daddy were here, they'd know what to do.

If Mommy and Daddy were here, they'd know what to do.

[Mokey] Well, they're not. So you have to take care of it.

And that's supposedto make me feel better?

Oh, what do I do now?

I've got to protect the jewel.

I've got an idea.

Oh, well.

It looks like I must have beenseeing things after all.

I guess I might as well go to bed

after I put this, the Gorg crown jewel,

back in its safe hiding place inside this chest.

[imitates yawning]

Boy, am I tired.

What a night.

Shh. Here he comes.

-Just don't let go, okay?-Right.

[Boober] Now!

-[yelling]-[thud]

Aha!

-Got you. We did it.-Ow.

We captured the dastardly jewel thief.[laughs] The...

Oh, no. It's Pa.

[laughs] Son, I'm proud of you.

Well, thanks.

But what are you doing here, Daddy? Why aren't you back at the cottage?

I was just helping you fulfillthe ancient rites of passage

of every boy Gorg.

[stammers] What did I do?

You have protected the crown jewel.

You have passed the sacred test You have passed the sacred test

and have kept the honorof the Gorgs intact.

And for this, you ruinedour second honeymoon?

You know how important...

Thanks a lot, Daddy. But I couldn't have done it without help.

Huh? Help?

From whom and whence?

Why, from them and thence.

[gasps] Fraggles!

-[Gobo] Let's get out of here.-[all yelling]

[panting]

So much for making usthink you'd be a hero, Gobo.

I never said that. I tried to tell youthat the Gorgs were going away.

What? Huh. I guess we weren't listening.

Oh, don't worry about it. This way, we all get to be heroes.

Yeah. [laughs]

[siren wailing]

-[grunts]-[siren stops]

Aha!

Just as I thought, there's a short circuitin the ghost detector.

And that's what made it go off.

You see, there's nothing to worry about.

There are no ghosts.

Well, unlessa ghost caused the short circuit.

Well, unlessa ghost caused the short circuit.
