This episode starts out with June walking around a series of bushes! June introduces herself and says that she just found the most amazing thing! Her and the rest of the team just found a nest full of duck eggs with the Mama Duck watching over it. The rest of the team looks anxious. Leo counts all of the eggs to find that there are 8 of them! The eggs begins wiggling and shaking in place. The kids are very anxious now! June thinks that the eggs may hatch, but isn't quite sure. In no time at all, June is correct! The eggs hatch and tiny, cute duckies wiggle around in the nest with their Mom! Annie pulls out her camera and takes a picture of the newborn ducks. The kids awe at the tiny ducks. Then mama duck jumps into the water to teach her ducklings how to swim! The ducks begin to follow their mom into the water. Leo counts them off as they jump into the water. "1,2,3" Leo says counting them as they jump. June says it is like they are playing follow the leader! "4, 5, 6, 7," Leo stops. He waits for the last duck to jump in the water, but the team realizes that it hasn't quite hatched yet and is still in the egg. But right after they find the egg, the duckling hatches! Quincy warns the duckling that he has to hurry because Mama Duck is already in the water. The Little Ducky runs off in the direction of Mama Duck, and the kids head to Rocket. June takes one last look at the ducks waddling in the water and June pretends to waddle like the ducks! She waddles like the ducks and singing mama ducks song, saying that she is playing follow the leader too! The rest of the team joins her in the game as they walk off to Rocket. Little Ducky, after hearing June imitate Mama Duck's song, begins to follow behind the kids and even follows them into Rocket! Once the team is all inside Rocket, they don't see Little Ducky follow them inside and they take off and head for home!
The team flies all the way back home and into the Rocket Room. Once they land inside, them all gets out of Rocket and begins to head out of the Rocket Room. Little Ducky follows them out and sings the song June had sang! The team all turns around confused when they hear the song. They look around for whose singing the song and find Little Ducky sitting on the top of Rocket's stairs. Little Ducky runs down to June. "Uh-oh," June says as she hits her forehead. Little Ducky hits his forehead too. The team realizes that Ducky is still playing follow the leader. June does a little dance pose and Ducky follows doing the same pose as June did. "Ducky thinks June is his Mom!" Leo points out. June tells ducky that she is just a kid, and Annie is able to prove it to him by showing him the picture she took of the rest of the ducklings at the Great Lakes. Little Ducky hangs his head in disappointment. The team promises Ducky that they will get him home. Annie wonders how they will get Ducky in Rocket to get him home, and June knows that they just have to play Ducky's favorite game; Follow the Leader! June and the team hop in to Rocket and just like June predicted, Ducky followed them right into Rocket again. Now it's off to the Great Lakes and Ducky's family!
BLAST OFF!!!
The team soars up into the sky with Little Ducky inside Rocket. Annie, being as witty as she is, makes up a song to go with Mama Duck's song. The whole team sings the song a few times and Ducky give a cheer. After a few minutes of flying, June says that she knows how to get Ducky home quickly! She presses a button and brings out Rocket's backup booster! Now they are flying almost twice as fast! Ducky assumes that they are still playing following the leader and beings to press a lot of buttons, just like June! Now, Rocket is flying out of control, making everybody inside very, very dizzy. Leo gives a dizzy sigh and tells Rocket to land in the forest below them. Rocket lands down in the tress. The kids get out to continue their adventure on foot. It is not long after they land that they hear something very spooky; a wolf! Quincy recommends that they hurry and the team all agrees. Ducky follows right behind June. June leads them for a while but they quickly arrive a large area filled with many rocks. Leo and Annie question wether they will be able to get around the rocks or not. June claims that she knows what do to. She walks up to the rocks. June lifts her arms up high in the air singing Mama Duck's song, and leaps onto the rocks. She lowers her arms again and jumps to the other side. June does this several more times and successfully jumps over all the rocks! The rest of the kids give it a try. They all raise their arms up in unison and jump onto the rocks, then lower their arms and jump down. They are also able to get over all of the rocks and meet up with June. Now Ducky gives it a try and, just like the others, is able get with the rest of the team. The team cheers! Rocket, being as advanced as he is, leaps over all of the rocks with one swift jump. The team continues down the path.
After going along for a little while longer, the team hears something even scarier then the wolf. It's a bear! The team hurries down the path until they come to a wide stream with small rocks in it. Again, the team doesn't know if they can get over it, but June knows just what to do! She asks the rest of the kids to pat the beat of the music for her, and when they do she is able to leap onto the stones in the river and get to the other side, without getting wet at all. Now June pats the beat for the rest of the team and everybody follows her over! Rocket jumps over the river too! Once they are done there, Ducky finds the way out of the woods! The kids cheer when the finally get out and they get back inside Rocket!
BLAST OFF!!!
The team flies and quickly spots a splendid surpriser! They come across the musical roller coaster! Leo flies Rocket onto the Roller Coaster and soars along it for a long while. Rocket goes over many musical signs, like ritardando and accelerando! After a while Rocket is forced to stop at a rhythm gate. It will only open if somebody claps the same rhythm that it plays. It plays a tricks beat that Quincy easily copies. Ducky copies it as well. Quincy claps the rhythm again and the gate is opened! The team applauds Quincy. Rocket continues on the Musical Roller Coaster until they are in clear view of the Duckies home the Great Lakes! Rocket lowers his look-and-listen scope to find which lake Mama Duck is at. After examining 3 lakes, Leo finds Mama Duck at Lake Huron! Rocket zooms down to the lake.
When Rocket lands, the team notices that there is one last obstacle blocking their way. There is a large white fence that is way to big for anybody to jump over, even June. After the gate the water starts right there. June leans down to Ducky and says that he can get over the fence if he uses his wings. Ducky nods. June and the kids help Ducky by playing follow the leader. They all start flapping their arms like wings and Ducky does the same. Ducky soon finds himself flying up and over the fence! It is not long before Ducky makes it over the fence and lands in the water! He did it! Annie runs over to the fence and says that she can see Mama Duck with her ducklings! Leo counts the ducklings and there are all 8! Ducky is the eighth duckling! The team waves to Ducky and Mama Duck and Ducky waves right back! They did it! They got Ducky back home!
Mission Completion!
