Summary[]
The team are having a sleepover in the Rocket Room at nightfall. They all have special tricks to fall asleep, except Rocket. He has trouble falling asleep. Even the gang's own attempts to make Rocket sleep fail, the only way he can fall asleep is to go to outer space and count eight planets and one dwarf planet (making it nine planets in total), thanks to his planet mobile for showing it.
Information[]
In order to make Rocket fall asleep, Quincy gives Rocket his blanket that helps him fall asleep, but it didn't work. The only way to make him fall asleep is to count eight planets and one dwarf planet, thanks to his planet mobile for showing it. So they have to prepare a blast off and use a backup booster to break the gravity as you entered to Outer Space. First: You must count 4 planets: From Mercury to Mars. As the team made it to Mars, Rocket is going to fall asleep, but it didn't work. Fortunately, they saw the Olympus Mons and there's a Mars Rover. But unfortunately, Mars Rover warns the heroes that the dust storm is coming! So the team must avoid the dust storm as Quincy plays his piano to make Rocket climb faster to the top of Olympus Mons! Now that you came back to where you started from, Second: You must count all planets again, but unfortunately, the heroes are stuck in Jupiter by the Swirling and Rolling Winds of the art The Scream by Edvard Munch. So you have to help June do the Swirling and Rolling wind dance to get out of Jupiter. When Rocket finally got out of Jupiter, he falls asleep; but sadly, it didn't work. So the heroes must count all planets the third time as they count from Mercury to Neptune. The last planet they have to find is a dwarf planet named Pluto. He's hiding from planet Neptune. So the team tell Pluto to go to its place as all planets form a single file to let Rocket count all of them. Now, the heroes are ready to sing the Planet song one last time! And this time, Leo is going to sing the song to help Rocket fall asleep and he did it! So the team must pat the beat pianissimo to head back home. And Rocket can now get some sweet dreams to the galaxy.
Plot[]
The episode starts at nightfall with the Little Einsteins having a sleepover in the Rocket Room and each of the team brought a sleeping bag and pillows and they also have their own sleeping trick (Leo use his baton nightlight, June does her sleeping spin, Quincy hugging his instrument planet, and Annie sing a goodnight song) and all of the Little Einsteins have a good night. While the Little Einsteins have a goodnight sleep, Rocket is having trouble falling asleep and become insomnia while Annie told that Rocket is having trouble falling asleep, so the team slide down the slide to respond to Rocket and Leo asks Rocket about his sleeping trick and Rocket replied no and Annie said that Rocket doesn't have a sleeping trick. then Quincy asks Rocket to hold Quincy's instrument blanket and Leo tell that holding Quincy's instrument blanket will not work. While Rocket's holding Quincy's blanket, Rocket's light is turning off and Rocket's antenna's sagging, but that plan didn't work. Then the team had an idea because Rocket has a planet mobile, and if they count eight planets and one dwarf planet, then Rocket will be very tired and he'll fall asleep for sure. Annie told Rocket that there are eight planets and one dwarf planet in outer space and Leo told that if they count eight planets and one dwarf planet, Rocket will fall asleep, so Leo put out his baton and told everyone that they’ve got a mission about counting all eight planet and one dwarf planet so Rocket can fall asleep, so they all head inside Rocket, buckle their seatbelts, do the pat sequence, and blast off.
While the Little Einsteins are heading to outer space, Rocket uses his backup booster to break through Earth's gravity. After Rocket made it through Earth's gravity, the Little Einsteins tell that they have to go to the first planet near the sun, Mercury, and Annie made up the planet song and sing to Für Elise and count all the way to Mars which is planet four and land on Mars.
Then, Leo told that plan would work, so they have to put on their space suit and head out if that plan work, then Rocket's light is turning off and antenna's sagging and June ask if Rocket is sleeping and they said no because they only count four planets and the only way to make Rocket go to sleep is to count eight planets and one dwarf planet. Soon, Annie look at the Olympus Mons where the Mars Rover lived on top of the Olympus Mons and warned the Little Einsteins about the dust storm and June points out that Mars Rover's right about the dust storm's heading towards the Little Einsteins and Quincy told that Mars Rover told the Little Einsteins to come to the top of the Olympus Mons to be safe. so they head back to Rocket and Rocket use his crawler tracks to crawl up the Olympus Mons to avoid the dust storm and While Rocket is crawling up the Olympus Mons, the team told that the Olympus Mons is getting steeper and the dust storm's getting closer, so Quincy uses his piano to play the climbing song to help Rocket crawl faster to avoid the dust storm. After Quincy play the climbing song, Annie thanks Mars Rover for warning about the dust storm, and Leo tells the rest of the team that the crawling made Rocket fall asleep, because Rocket's light is turning off and antenna's sagging and Annie ask that Rocket is sleeping, but climbing didn't work and Quincy told that the only way to make Rocket go to sleep is to count eight planets and one dwarf planet. Soon the Little Einsteins head back to Rocket and Annie said goodbye to Mars Rover and Blast off.
Once back in space, they sing the counting song, and once they count to planet five which is Jupiter, the Little Einsteins got sucked into the swirling winds and June had a plan, so June have to sway the whole body side to side to do the swirling wind dance to get past the swirling wind, and after they got past the swirling wind, then the Little Einsteins enter the rolling wind, so June have to roll her arms round and round to get past the rolling wind, and after they got past the first two winds of Jupiter, then they have to do the repeat which is first the swirling winds and then the rolling wind until they get past Jupiter's wind and reach to the top. Soon, Annie told that Rocket is quiet because flying through all of the Jupiter's winds made Rocket very tired, so Rocket's lights are turning off and antenna's sagging, but that plan didn't work. So Annie told that the only way to make Rocket go to sleep is to count eight planets and one dwarf planet.
Soon, the Little Einsteins head back to the sun and sing the planet counting song and once they count to eight planets which is Neptune, the Little Einsteins have to find Pluto which is the dwarf planet and soon, Pluto is hiding behind Neptune, so Rocket flies to Pluto and Quincy told Pluto to go back to where it belongs and soon, all eight planets and one dwarf planet are lined up in order and the Little Einsteins successfully sing the planet song and count eight planet and one dwarf planet.
After counting all eight planets and one dwarf planet, all of the team told one by one that Rocket's lights are turning off, antenna's sagging and Rocket is snoring the sleep and Leo ask if Rocket's sleeping and Leo told that plan worked, so they have to blast off back to Earth and get Rocket home to his bed. But they have to be quiet, pianissimo, because we don't want to wake Rocket up, so they have to do the pat sequence pianissimo and whisper blast off.
Once the Little Einsteins are back at home and back to the Rocket Room, the Little Einsteins said goodnight to Rocket. Mission completion.
