Alex was counting down while his eyes were closed, to play "Hide and Seek".
"18, 19, 20! Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Alex shouted after counting.
Alex looked around to find the others.
"Gloria? Marty? Guys?" Alex asked.
Alex goes to the bush and pops out to find the others, but no luck.
"Ugh! You guys are getting way too good at hiding!" Alex shouted.
There was a scream that makes the others come out of hiding that they and Alex all heard it.
"Did you hear that?" Katie asked.
"What was that?" Gloria asked.
"Ha-ah! Found you!" Alex shouted.
"That sounded like Melman." Marty said.
"Melman?" Alex asked.
"He might be in danger." Brandon said.
Melman was mumbling while he was dancing in a happy mood.
"Melman, what are you doing?" Mariah asked.
"Why are you in a happy mood?" Katie asked.
"Oh, no. I know that move! He's got a hairball." Alex said.
"I don't think giraffes can get hairballs." Marty said to Alex.
"Step out of the way! I got this." Gloria said.
Gloria runs up to Melman.
"Come on, Melman!" Gloria shouted.
Gloria grabs Melman and shakes him up and down, the others were scared in sight.
"Come on, get it out!" Gloria shouted.
"Wait, Gloria! I'm okay!" Melman shouted.
Gloria stops and lets Melman go.
"I'm just doing my best day ever dance because today I found this." Melman said.
Melman shows a daffodil to the others.
"A daffodil?" Gloria asked.
"Not just any daffodil. This is a nine-petaled daffodil. That's three more petals than a regular daffodil. Do you know what this means?" Melman asked after explaining about the daffodil.
That my singing to the plants is really helping them grow." Alex asked.
"No. It means today is going to be my best day ever!" Melman shouted.
Melman sniffs the daffodil and then sneezes.
"Bless you." Brandon said.
"Thank you." Melman said.
Melman takes another sniff to the daffodil.
"I thought you said your best day ever was last week on garbage day." Alex said.
"That was the second best day ever." Melman said.
"What about the day Kate gave you two baths instead of one?" Gloria asked.
"Third." Melman answered.
"The day you found a whole bottle of hand sanitizer in the Lost and Found?" Marty asked.
"The day you found a penny on the floor?" Mariah asked.
"The day you saw a rainbow?" Katie asked.
"The day that you did your happy dance before your best day ever dance?" Brandon asked.
"All of those days are tied to third. But today is going to be my number one best day ever! And nothing... Can get in the way... Of my... Best day ever!" Melman shouted, happily while sneezing.
Melman sneezes again and uses a leaf as a tissue.
"Bless you." Gloria said.
"Thank you." Melman said.
