# Everywhere I go

# Oh, oh, oh

Ooh!

(ALL GIGGLE)
(PANTING)
Come on, Big Cuz!
Don't want to be late.
Hm...
Argh!
Woof!
BIG CUZ: Start walking, Little J.
I'll catch up.
OLD DOG: Huh?
Ooh, this is no good. They're my pack.
See you, Nanna.
See you.
If she gets a move on, I can get my pack all together.
ALLY: Me and Aaron
dodged the waves to find all these pebbles for our sandcastle.
It was lots of fun.
KIDS: Whoa...Cool.
MISS CHEN: Well done, Ally.
Looks like you and our class mascot Aaron
had a great adventure,
and good that your dad could stay this morning for your talk.
Thanks, Miss Chen.
Ally was so excited about her Aaron's adventure talk.
Proud of you, Bub.
And now it's Little J's turn...
(LITTLE J GASPS) ..to take Aaron home.
Tell us what you and Aaron are planning to do Little J?
I'm going to take Aaron searching for mica stone out bush.
We'll bring some back for our rock collection.
Sounds fascinating.
Monti,
I'm sure you've remembered that
it's your turn to take Aaron on an adventure after Little J.
One more sleep to go,
and I know exactly what Aaron and I are doing.
It's a surprise.
You push this one first
and then that one.
Ah, yeah.
That's easy enough.
(PHONE BEEPS)
OLD DOG: Mm...
Mica sort of looks like gold,
but it sort of looks like silver too.
Check this out, Aaron.
Oh!
No mica here.
(SNIFFS) Woof, woof!
Hey, Old Dog.
You found some mica?
Wow.
That's a skink, Aaron.
Hey, Nanna.
We found something really, really special.
Come and take a photo.
That's the camera button there, Nanna.
I thought you were looking for mica, Little J.
Ha, ha, yeah.
Let's get a photo anyway. Come on.
I bit closer.
Mica is flaky, Aaron.
You can peel off layers of shiny bits.
(SNIFFS) Woof, woof, woof, woof!
Found some mica this time, Old Dog?
Woof, woof!
Wow.
Ever seen an echidna, Aaron?
Amazing, eh?
Nanna, look.
We found an echidna.
Oh, yeah.
So cute.
Let's take him for show and tell, Little J.
Echidna's family will miss him. BIG CUZ AND LITTLE J: Aww...!
Better leave him here.
Hm, I don't reckon there's any mica around here.
Go on and look up there, Little J.
There will be plenty laying around,
but you're going to have to be quick.
It's getting dark soon.
Aaron, we really, really need to find some mica.
Oh, look at that, Aaron.
Big as mob, eh?
Go and help him, Big Cuz.
Make sure he doesn't leave anything behind.
OK, Nanna.
These will be the best rocks in the whole class collection.
Oh!
A coral tree, and look at all these ininti seeds it's dropped.
Make sure you got all your stuff, Little J.
We've got to go.
Coming.
Look, Nanna.
Good, eh.
Beautiful.
Good on you, Little J.
And look at all these ininti beads, Nanna.
I'm going to make a necklace.
Nice colour.
My clever grandkids.
(SQUAWKS)
So shiny.
Big Cuz, which one should I take to school
and which one should I keep?
Don't know.
Why don't you ask Aaron?
Yeah, good idea.
Aaron!
Aaron?
Where is he?
Hmm?
Old Dog, you seen Aaron?
Mm...
Have you seen Aaron?
No.
I've done something terrible.
What?
I lost Aaron.
He'll be around the house somewhere.
Aaron's not here, anywhere.
I'm going to be in big, big trouble with the other kids.
Can you remember the last time you saw Aaron?
First, me and Aaron found a skink.
Yeah, and you took a photo, Nanna.
Ah!
Check your photos, Nanna.
That's how I can find out where he is.
Yeah, Aaron's in this one.
Yep.
He's in this one too.
Then you took a photo of me
with the mica and Big Cuz with her ininti beads.
He's not in this photo,
so that means I must have left Aaron
by the rocks where I found the mica.
Oh, sorry Little J.
Nanna told me to make sure you had all your stuff.
And I was busy trying to figure out this phone.
It's OK.
Now I know exactly where Aaron is.
Let's go.
No.
You need to get to school now, Little J.
We can find Aaron later.
Aw!
But if I don't take Aaron to school this morning,
all the kids will know I lost him.
How about I come with you, and we both tell them what happened.
MISS CHEN: Good morning, Nanna.
Glad you can make it for Little J's Aaron's adventure talk.
Hey Little J, where's Aaron?
Yeah, where is Aaron?
(CLEARS THROAT)
Uh, um, I'm really, really sorry, everyone.
I didn't mean to, but I accidentally left Aaron out bush.
BOYS: (GASPS) Oh no!
But I know exactly where he is,
and I'm going to get him straight after school
and bring him in tomorrow.
Not fair.
You've really messed things up for Aaron and me Little J.
Monti, Little J has made a mistake
and he is going to fix it.
I'm not going home without Aaron.
My special plan can only happen tonight,
so I'm staying right here until Aaron comes back.
Miss Chen, Nanna and Big Cuz and I,
we can go and find Aaron at lunch time instead of after school.
Can he, Miss Chen?
Yes. Good plan, Little J.
Little J,
slow down.
Think through every step.
OK, Nanna.
I know Aaron's not here,
'cause I was carrying him
when I went over there.
I was at the coral tree there,
gathering ininti beads.
And you were over there
looking at mica rocks.
Yeah, that's where Aaron is.
Right over there.
Oh, no.
I must have got it wrong.
Look at this.
Your footprints, Little J.
Old Dog's footprints.
BIG CUZ: Oh, and that looks like an owl feather.
The owl must've taken Aaron.
(GASPS)
That means Aaron could be anywhere!
Oh, no.
What's Monti going to do now?
I reckon the owl would have dropped Aaron
as soon as he knew he wasn't tucker.
So that means we need to look all around here.
Hm...
Hm...
Hey!
I think I found Aaron.
Nanna, can I borrow your phone for a sec?
I can zoom right in.
Yep.
That's Aaron, alright.
Good on you, Little J.
But how are we going to get him down from right up there?
(GASPS)
I know.
Aaron's got to be rescued,
so let's get Uncle Mick.
He's a search and rescue worker.
We can try, but he's a pretty busy fella.
And Monti can come watch.
I bet he's never seen a rescue operation.
It's going to be risky.
Aaron's stuck.
I hope I can get him out without ripping his legs.
(WHIMPERS)
Ah!
Uh...
Ah!
BOTH: Ooh...!
I got him, and he's all in one piece.
Hooray! Whoo-hoo!
Aaron's safe.
Thanks, Uncle Mick.
No worries.
I know Aaron's a good mate.
I'm really, really sorry I lost him, Monti.
I'm so happy you found him.
That was a pretty exciting adventure.
Eh, Aaron?
So, Monti.
What are you going to do with Aaron,
and why can it only happen tonight?
Because there's a lunar eclipse.
That's when the moon goes deep red,
and my mum and dad said I could stay up and watch it with Aaron.
Whoa!
That's the best Aaron's adventure ever.
Hey, Nanna.
How about me and Aaron come over to your place.
We can watch the eclipse with you mob, eh?
Can he, Nanna?
Yeah, no worries, little fellas.
Big Cuz.
Aaron loves his ininti bead necklace.
Yeah, he looks cool.
Hey, did you know that a lunar eclipse happens when the moon
goes behind the earth and into its shadow?
My dad told me.
You going to take any photos, Nanna?
I want to watch the lunar eclipse for real.
Don't want to get distracted.
But Monti needs a photo for his Aaron's adventure talk.
Fair enough.
Scrunch up, everyone.
Wait, Nanna.
There are heaps of room for you here, Old Dog.
Smile.
Mm...a dog's life's real good
when the pack's all together.
