(Opening shot: the city skyline during the summer day.)
Narrator: The City of Townsville! (Camera pans over to the right and sees the view of Pokey Oaks School) Yes, it's that time of day, when kids all over Townsville just can't wait to get out of school!
(All of Ms. Keane's class excitingly runs for home as the end of school year, including Bubbles.)
Narrator: Hey! What's all the rush about it?
(Bubbles flies home and lands in front of T.V.)
Narrator: [loudly] Ohhhhh! I get it.
(Bubbles turn her head at the camera view and shush at the narrator.)
Bubbles: Shhh.
(Then she turns her head back to the T.V.)
Narrator: Oops. Sorry.
(Flowers flash on the TV, then we see more kids run home. Back at the TV, a green spiral swirls in and the flowers disappear. One more shot of the kids running home. Back at Bubbles, watching the green spiral on TV. Eight more kids watching the TV appear around her, forming a 3x3 grid. In the next line, a pair of bubble pants with a flower flies in.)
TV Announcer: And now, kids, it's time for "The Wondrous World of Whimsical Willy"!
(3x3 view of the ecstatic children, Bubbles in the middle. All voice an excited gasp.)

The scene goes to black, then we fade up in Whimsical Willy's living room. Whimsical Willy is reading a "Happy Tails" book when he notices the viewers at home. He closes the book and puts it away.
Mr. Willy: Hi!
Bubbles/Children: Hi!
Mr. Willy: (holds up a yellow bag with pink flowers) I bet you're wondering what's inside my magic satchel today.
(Bubbles and the other kids nod.)
Mr. Willy: Well, why don't we find out?
(Mr. Willy reaches his hand in and shovels inside his yellow bag. Bubbles closely stare at the T.V. and Willy brings out a happy face mask.)
Mr. Willy: Ahhhh! A happy face.
(He pulls the string of the mask over his face while facing sideways. He turns his face towards the children again and then shows the mask. 3x3 grid; the children smile in response. Normal view; he takes his mask off and puts it aside. Then again, Willy reaches his hand in and shovels inside his yellow bag and brings out a sad face mask.)
Whimsical Willy: And what's this? A sad face.
(Just as earlier, he pulls the string of the mask over his face again while facing sideways. He turns his face towards the children again and then shows the mask. 3x3 grid; the children frown. He takes his mask off and brings out his happy face mask again.)
Whimsical Willy: (covers his face with the mask) Happy!
(He uncovers his face by move his mask away and his smiley face appears. Bubbles shows him with her Whimsical Willy style-like happy child face. He covers his face again with another mask.)
Whimsical Willy: (uncovers his face by moving his another mask) Sad.
(Bubbles responds by giving him her frown face.)
Whimsical Willy: I bet you're wondering where happy comes from. What does Miss Happy Flower Think? (she whispers to him; he smiles.)
Whimsical Willy: That's a wonderful idea. Let's go ask our friends in the magical world of... Dayyyyyydreeeeeam Laaaaaaaaaane!
Maid Mary: Oh. hello, Kitty the Elephant. say, have you seen Whimsical Willy?
Kitty: Duh. No. I have not saw Mr. Willy, but I will now, duh, look for him. (walks off) Oh Mr. Willy?
Mr. Willy: Hello Maid Mary
Kitty: (from o.c.) Mr. Willy umm where are you?
Maid Mary: Why, hello, Mr. Willy. It's so nice to see you.
Mr. Willy: It's so nice to see you too, Maid Mary. What are you making?
Maid Mary: We're making happy stew. and Duke Monday is helping me. Oh Duke, did you find the magic ingredients?
Duke: I'm still lookin'! (turns around, revealing a stitched on face) Oh, Hi, everybody! Hi, Mr. Willy! Wanna help make happy stew?
Mr. Willy: Why sure. How can I help?
Duke: Just add your favorite things.
Maid Mary: Gee, Mr. Willy, what makes you happy?
Mr. Willy: Well, there's one thing that makes me very happy, and that...
Dog puppet: Mr. Willy! Maid Mary!
Maid Mary: What is it, Dynamite Dog?
Dog puppet (Dynamite): Something terrible has happened!
Dynamite: (from o.s.) A dark cloud of Sadness has covered Daydream Lane and caused Crazy Horse to lose his happy!
Maid Mary: If something isn't done fast, we may all lose our happy!
(3x3 view, zooming past the shocked children to Bubbles as they voice a collective gasp.)
Mr. Willy: I... I don't know who to turn to. (He looks at the audience) I need your... (He whimpers for a moment) We need your help children. There's only one thing that can cure a sadness cloud and that's (shows a dollar bill) Happy Paper. That's right kids. Please send as much (shows a dollar bill again) Happy Paper as you can to this address. (the address shows down to reveal Whimsical Willy PO Box 0000 Townsville USA, He starts to cry.) Or Daydream Lane will be Doomed! (the camera cuts up to a dark cloud of sadness once again.)
(3x3 view; the kids gasp again and quickly run off, except Bubbles who just stays there. Close-up of her, zoom in slowly.)
Bubbles: Whimsical Willy...Maid Mary...Daydream Lane...? (Extreme close-up of her determined face.) Something has to be done! (She flies off.)
(Cut to the Townsville Hall where the Mayor is watching.)
Mr. Willy: Please Kids, we need your Happy Paper.
Mayor: Aaah! Daydream Lane Needs my Help! (he rushes to the safe and presses a button, opening the safe. He grabs the piggy bank and shakes it, then runs out, emptying the piggy bank into his pot.) Oh, dear. I hope it's enough. (He puts the piggy bank back in the safe, but unfortunately, all the money is stolen. The mayor freaks out).
(Cut to the Powerpuff Girls House where Blossom and Buttercup are looking for Bubbles.)
Blossom, Buttercup: Bubbles? Bubbles! Bubbles! Bubbles! Where are you?
(the hotline rings)
Blossom: The Hotline! (she picks up the receiver) Yes Mayor? (the mayor's chattering can be heard.) All the Money of Townsville's been stolen? (more chattering) All right Mayor, calm down! We're on it! (she hangs up.)
Buttercup: Where is Bubbles?
Bubbles: (on the television) You can cheer up now Whimsical Willy. (Blossom and Buttercup see Bubbles live on the Television.) I brought you a big surprise, right here in this sack. (Cuts to the inside) All the Happy Paper of Townsville! (she unloads the money from the bag. Mr. Willy gasps in relief. The girls gasp after what Bubbles did was against the law.)
Blossom, Buttercup: Bubbles! (they fly off.)
Mr. Willy: Thank you Bubbles for your wonderful gift. Thanks to you, the sadness cloud has gone away, Daydream Lane is saved! And all our friends have their happy back! (they start cheering, then cuts to Mr. Willy laughing in relief, but Blossom and Buttercup bust inside the studio and frame him for his actions.)
Blossom: The jig is up, Mr. Willy! If that's even your real name!
Bubbles: (Questioned) What does she mean, Mr. Willy?
Mr. Willy: (Nervous) I don't know, Bubbles... My name is Willy... Honest... (Sweats)
Blossom: Drop the act, Mr. Phony!
Buttercup: Yeah, we know all about your little plan to steal all the money of Townsville! (Bubbles blocks Blossom and Buttercup and defends Mr. Willy)
Bubbles: What are you talking about? Willy wouldn't lie; he was just trying to save Daydream Lane: Maid Mary, Duke Monday, Kitty the Elephant, and all the others from losing their happy.
Blossom: (concerned) Bubbles, none of this is real.
Buttercup: Yeah, it's all fake.
Bubbles: What do you mean...?
Blossom: Look! (Pulls down the rope revealing cameras) Daydream Lane is just a set.
Buttercup: Yeah! (Punches the fake tree)
Bubbles: (sad) It's... all... fake...?
Buttercup: Look, these are just puppets. (she throws the cardboard tree away, revealing a crook inside.) And they're lousy ones too! (she punches the crook.)
Crook #1: (angrily) Hey! Uh, I mean (nicely) hey! (Bubbles is distraught about what happened.)
Blossom: See, Bubbles? (she throws away a doghouse, revealing another crook. She pulls the strings down, revealing a third crook. Buttercup tears away an elephant's costume revealing the fourth crook.)
Crook #4: D'uh, hey!
(Blossom and Buttercup tear away Maid Mary's dress, revealing a sixth crook, whose body does not fit the dress well and is now in his undergarments. the crook chuckles nervously.)
Buttercup: See, Bubbles? They're just a bunch of escaped convicts. And Whimsical Willy is just a crook.
Blossom: You tricked everybody, Mr. Willy, (rips away the sad cloud tarp, revealing the large bag of stolen money behind it) so you could steal all of our money!
Mr. Willy: Very good. you get an A+. But you're too late, because now all the money of Townsville belongs to The Wonderous World of Whimsical Willy!
Bubbles: He's...He's crazy.
Mr. Willy: Get'em, boys!
Bubbles: This one's on me, girls!
Blossom: Bubbles, Mr. Willy's getting away!
Bubbles: Oh no he isn't!

Bubbles: Uh...I'm sorry I took all that money. I guess I shouldn't believe everything I see on TV.
Mayor: No, Bubbles, no! Don't say that! Television is your friend. Television is never wrong, and you should always listen to it, and do whatever it says.
(Pull back to frame the girls; as the Mayor nods, the girls stare at the camera, blank expressions on their faces.)
Girls: (trance-like) Yes...television...all hail the great and all-knowing television...
(The background for the end shot comes up.)
Narrator: Mission accomplished! And so now and forevermore, the day is saved! Thanks to...
(A television appears.)
