Hi, Vivian. How was your summer?

It was great, Sofia.

I went to a music festival, an opera,

three ballets, and made you a floating friendship bracelet.

Oh, thanks.

Welcome back to Royal Prep, children.

A most exciting new school year awaits.

New classrooms, new teachers,

new challenges.

So let's get started right away.

New students,

please report to the Noble Novice classroom.

And for those of you moving up to the Regal Rotunda,

come this way.

And for those special students starting the new year

in the one and only Majestic Hall,

line up and follow me.

I can't believe we're finally in Majestic Hall!

Exactly the right place for me to be.

It just means there's gonna be more tests

and harder homework.

I know. Isn't it great?

Uh, not for me.

Don't worry, James. I'll still help you

- with your homework whenever you need it. - Thanks, Desmond.

And here we are.

Majestic Hall.

Welcome to your new classroom, children.

Please meet your new teacher,

Professor Pecullian.

Call me Mr. P.!

I can already see that you are quite the curious collection

of inquisitive young minds.

This will be a wonderful year of wondering wonderful things.

So we won't delay.

Take a seat.

Or squat on the floor.

Or on the ceiling if you can reach it.

Off you go.

Have a great first day, my dears.

Book, book, pencil, sharpener, backup pencil,

more books, brand-new eraser.

I treated myself.

( sighs happily ) I'm ready to learn.

Students, this is a big year,

and so, I want everyone to look at things...

( chuckles ) differently.

( all exclaiming )

My books!

What is happening?

Just shaking it up a bit.

Expanding your views, and hopefully, your minds.

I don't like it.

It is different, but kind of fun.

I think it's brilliant.

Look. I never noticed that the floor tiles form a picture.

My point exactly, princess!

With every new view, you have new insights,

and new out sights.

Mr. P., is class always gonna be upside down?

I'm so glad you asked. No.

Sometimes it will be sideways.

Oh, please, no.

Or diagonal.

Can't we just learn right side up

like every other class I've ever been in?

- My book! - Allow me.

Thank you.

Ah, but today, we won't be using books.

Books are wonderful, of course.

They're bounded blocks of boundless information.

But right now, we're going to learn by doing

- instead of reading. - Excellent.

Excuse me. I don't understand.

How do you learn without books?

Allow me to explain.

? Books are really great for learning facts ?

? For finding out who, what, when and why ?

? But sometimes, you have to push aside the stacks ?

? And take a step into the world outside ?

? If you want to feel the thrill of the ocean ?

? As a mermaid guides your ship through her realm ?

? You will never know the surge of emotion ?

? Until you climb aboard and step up to the helm ?

? You gotta live it to learn it ?

? You gotta dive in and do it ?

? You gotta show that you know it ?

? And work your way through it ?

? You can read about King Arthur's knights ?

? A book will tell you every tale and plot ?

? But if you want to witness their true might ?

? Well, try shaking hands with Sir Lancelot ?

? If you want to grow a beautiful flower ?

? Dig into the dirt like a gnome or an elf ?

? Can't tell if a fruit will be sweet or sour ?

? Till you take a bite and find out for yourself ?

? You gotta live it to learn it ?

? You gotta dive in and do it ?

? You gotta show that you know it ?

? Just work your way through it ?

Some of you look uneasy.

Maybe even queasy.

That's natural.

My methods are entirely new to you.

So remember, if you're ever lost in the woods,

don't be afraid to ask for directions.

Woods? What woods?

I don't understand anything he's saying.

I think he means that we should ask for help if we need it.

I think I wanna ask for a different class.

? You gotta live it to learn it ?

? You gotta dive in and do it ?

? So don't sweat it 'cause you'll get it ?

? Just set your mind to it ?

? You gotta live it to learn it ?

? Live it to learn it ?

? You gotta dive in and do it ?

? Dive in and do it ?

? You gotta show that you know it ?

? Show that you know it ?

? Just work your way through it ?

? Live it to learn it ?

Now then, students,

let's talk about our first class assignment.

It is going to be a gardening project.

Finally something I know how to do, and that I'm good at.

You're good at everything, Des.

Yes, but I'm especially good at enchanted gardening.

Ah, well, then I've got some important news for you.

It's not enchanted gardening.

- It is mystery gardening. - What is that?

Why, it's a mystery, of course, young prince.

Pop. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

And pop, pop, pop, pop.

Oh, hello.

Spiky. I like it.

I'm going to name you Piney.

Each mystery tree is unique,

just like each of you is unique.

And the mystery you must solve

is to figure out what your little tree needs

to thrive, and remember,

each one will need something different.

How will we know when our tree is thriving?

Excellent question.

It's thriving when it grows fruit.

Yum.

And it gets yummier.

When every tree has sprouted fruit,

we will make magical mystery jam.

But, Mr. P.,

how do we figure out what our trees need?

By doing. Go outside and experiment with them!

( all gasping )

Look, listen, touch, taste if you have to.

Just do whatever you need to do

to discover what your particular tree needs.

Time to start doing.

And going!

Des, are you coming?

You guys go and... do.

I'm just gonna look for the right book.

I've gotta have a mystery gardening book in here somewhere.

I doubt that, because there aren't many books

on mystery gardening.

No books?!

'Fraid not.

But do you have any questions,

because I am here to help.

And here, and here, and here.

No, that's okay.

I don't need help with school.

Never have, never will.

It's true. He's the one who helps everyone else.

You must be so busy.

But for now, out you go.

Go forth and make fruit!

What do you need, my little green sprout?

Are you warm? Cold? Are you thirsty?

Do you like cheese?

No. Broccoli?

Don't blame you.

Pudding?

Yes! You like pudding.

My favorite, too.

Check it out. My plant is thriving

on pudding!

Well done.

It's our first fruit.

I finished first?

I've never finished first at anything in school.

I'm first in the class.

Boom goes the cannon.

( imitates cannon firing )

Why isn't mine growing?

Maybe a little water.

( frustrated groan )

Nothing!

- ( popping sound ) - Oh, I got fruit.

( nervous chuckle )

Sofia, my tree thrives when I hum to it. Look.

( humming )

( popping noises )

What?!

I figured mine out, too.

It grows a fruit whenever I give it a compliment.

Allow me to demonstrate.

You are so adorable.

And you have the prettiest fruit.

- ( loud popping ) - Yes!

You are the best little tree in the whole world!

Hmm.

I still haven't figured out what mine needs.

How'd you get it to do that?

I don't know.

( popping )

It did it again.

Hm.

I think my tree likes being next to other trees.

That's it!

It thrives on friends.

How sweet.

Look at that.

Answers are popping up everywhere.

Phooey! Everyone else found answers.

Why can't I?

Wait a second. Everyone else found answers.

Maybe their answers will work for me.

( humming )

Oh! ( giggles )

( humming )

Guess that's the wrong answer.

( popping )

Ah, maybe pudding will work.

Here you go.

You are so adorable.

( sighs ) Fine.

You are so adorable.

Oh. Sorry, Des.

I just wanted to see how you're doing.

Still figuring it out.

Do you need any help?

'Cause Mr. P.'s right over there.

No, I do not need any help.

This is a school project, Sofia,

and school is what I do best.

I'm gonna solve this my way.

In the library.

With a book.

There has got to be some kind of book

with some kind of information on mystery gardening.

Enchanted Gardening, Enchanted Gardening,

Very Enchanted Gardening.

Mystery Gardening.

What?!

It's a mystery! ( yells )

Desmond, you really don't sound okay.

Whaaaat?

What are you talking about?

I'm... I'm... I'm not okay at all.

I've never had this much trouble at school.

I've never had any trouble.

I used to be really, really, really good at school,

and now I'm struggling just to finish our first project.

You know, sometimes even the best students,

the smartest kids, need a little help,

and it's okay.

No, it's not.

I shouldn't need help,

especially when no one else does.

( Mr. P. humming )

Mr. P.?

What are you doing here, and how are you doing?

We are great.

Totally great.

Des.

Don't say anything. Please.

Everything is really good.

Fantastic.

That must mean fruit is fruiting.

Oh, yeah. Lots of it.

Jolly green good.

That means everyone has fruit now,

so forth we go then to the next project.

Making mystery jam.

What?

- Gather up your fruit. - Now?

No. Now's way too soon.

Oh, great.

I mean, I'm completely ready now,

but later's okay, too.

Oh, good. We're on the same page then.

So how's five minutes from now?

We'll meet back in the classroom.

Um, Desmond.

are you sure there's not something you want to ask Mr. P.?

Nope. Nothing. See you soon,

with lots and lots of fruit.

What have I done?

You've given yourself five minutes

to make your tree grow fruit.

I'm doomed.

I could try to help you.

Or maybe James could.

He seems to really understand this project.

I do not need help from James,

or anyone else.

I'll be fine, okay?

I think I know what to do now.

- Really? - Uh-huh.

Yes. See ya in class. Bye. Thanks. Buh-bye.

Okay, bye.

Okay, I need answers somewhere fast.

Let's see.

Enchanted gardening can't be that different

from mystery gardening.

Fruit, fruit, fruit. Aha!

To make an enchanted tree bear fruit,

add three pinches

and half a smidgen of enchanted plant food.

Done. Then add two ladybugs?

Okay.

That should do it.

Yes. Finally. Something is happening.

Stop! Not that! Slow down!

What's wrong with you?

( panting )

Psst.

Des? What's wrong?

I, um, I think I might need...

help.

Huh?

I don't know what happened.

I did exactly what the book told me to do,

and then the tree started shaking,

and then... and then...

it turned into some kind of little tree monster,

and then destroyed the entire greenhouse.

Oh. Yikes.

Um, where is it?

I locked it in.

Or I thought I did.

Des, is this the book you used on your tree?

An enchanted gardening book?

I thought it would make that tree grow

just one piece of tiny fruit,

not turn it into an unfruiting fiend.

Oh. You must've not gotten to the last page in the chapter.

No, because it came after me first.

Well, it says,

"Never, ever, ever use enchanted gardening

on mystery plants. Ever."

Oh, no. Please tell me there's another page

that says how to undo it.

Actually, there is.

- Really? - Yes.

"Sprinkle two heaps of blue anti food,

spin, re-pot."

We have to find that thing

before Mr. P. does.

I think it went that way.

At least it's not hard to follow.

Over there.

( groaning )

Sh.

( snoring )

Come back here!

Oh!

How about you go that way, I go this way

- and we corner it? - Sounds good.

Gotcha!

I got it, I got it!

Anti food. Now spin it.

I thought I was.

I think it's just spinning you.

- Pot! - Pot.

It's fixed.

Phew.

What's... what's happening?

I don't know.

Oh, now it's even worse than before.

It's like the saddest little tree in the whole universe.

I am not the best student in the class anymore.

I'm not even in the middle.

I'm at the bottom of the bottom.

Des, it's okay.

It's not over yet.

Really? Because to me, it looks pretty over.

Well, you could still ask Mr. P. for help.

- ( groans ) - Come on.

What's the worst that could happen?

Hello, my fellow students. Need help with anything?

Plucking, peeling, squishing, squashing?

No, thank you, James. We're good.

You sure, 'cause I was first in the class

to get fruit, so I really know what I'm doing.

Um, excuse me, Professor Pecullian.

Ah, my last two students.

Do you come bearing fruit?

Not exactly.

Then do you come bearing explanations?

Okay, so the thing is,

well... I need help.

Desmond needs help?

What? I don't believe it.

Yes, I actually do need help. A lot of it.

I so admire a student who can ask for help.

Let me tell you a secret.

Aah!

Even I need help every once in a while.

Like, um, I just can't get this jar open.

Little help?

Uh, sure.

Thanks.

( gasps )

As I pointed out earlier,

sometimes when you're stuck,

it helps to look at things from a new way.

You mean in a new way?

No. From a new way.

Now let's see if you can't solve your mystery

with a few clues.

Okay.

There's one. Princess Vivian.

Her tree responded to music.

I already tried that on mine.

( shudders ) Did not go well.

And James' tree, it's responded to pudding.

Yeah. Tried that, too.

Yes, but think about what these solutions all have in common.

The answer to the bigger mystery

of mystery plants lies in what connects them all.

Ah, here's one more.

Princess Amber's responded to compliments.

Your fruit is unbelievably delicious.

Ooh!

Oh! Vivian really likes music,

and her tree thrived on music.

James really likes pudding,

and so did his tree.

And Amber really likes compliments.

I feel a breakthrough coming.

Let's hit the ground.

So each tree likes what each of us likes.

I bet that's why your tree was going after

all the books in the library.

Yes. It must like books.

Because you like books.

Now test your theory.

"Jack and the Beanstalk."

Keep going, keep going.

"Once upon a time,

there was a young boy named Jack."

Yes! Yes! Yes!

All right, Desmond!

You finally got that tree to grow some fruit.

You certainly did.

- And you know what's what? - What?

This entire class succeeded in growing fruit,

but only you solved the greater underlying mystery

of the mystery plants--

that each plant was matched precisely to each one of you.

I guess that's true.

- Great job. - Congratulations, Desmond.

Thanks.

wait. So does that mean I'm not the best in the class anymore?

You, James, are thriving.

I'll take it.

Well done, me.

All right, class, there's just one more stop

on this magical mystery tour.

It's time to make mystery jam.

- In here? - No, no, no.

In the jam-nasium.

Let's jam!
