SCENE 1 | Today, Slimey is helping Maria out in the Fix-It Shop, but she's not sure what he can actually do; everything she fixes is very big. Micki comes in with her deflated basketball, unsure of where the air leak is. Maria proposes they put it in a bucket of water, where the leak will produce bubbles to show where it is. While she's gone, Slimey inspects the ball and suddenly begins to hover above it. Micki sees that this is where the air leak is and runs off to find a patch for it. |
