(Guy carries a fire torch in front of Grug and he likes it)

Guy: Fire.

(It then cuts to them going on many places with Chunky)

Eep (Narrator): And now we’re traveling the world. Searching for a perfect place to call home. A place Guy calls "Tomorrow".

Croods Family: Ooh, Tomorrow.

Eep (Narrator): You think that’s amazing? He gives me a funny feeling like I have butterflies in my stomach. Not just the ones I had for lunch, but like other butterflies. I don't know what this feeling called but it looks like this.

(It shows many heart sign to Guy and Eep)

Eep: And this, and this, and this! I love drawing this shape, I don't know why! It just feels right.

(They both start fighting at each other)

Thunk: Come on, Eep, share the tablet.

Eep: I'm not done yet! Give it back!

Thunk: No!

Ugga: Kids, stop fighting!

Gran: Get him, Eep!

Grug: I will turn this Death Cat around!

(The Kangaroo-like creatures appear when they heard a noise)

Eep (Narrator): There have been many obstacles along the way, but It's nothing that a crood can handle.

Grug: We got some angry kanga-dilos on our tail!

(Grug pulls Chunky's fur to make it faster, but there's more Kanga-dodos and Chunky start drifting)

Guy: Belt, seatbelt mode.

(Guy uses Belt as a seatbelt)

Ugga: I told you don't take the canyon.

Grug: Ok.

Ugga: Never take the canyon.

(Chunky jumps and the croods fall and they land where the "The Croods" stone and the "A New Age" lava stone and the Kanga-dilos break it. Gran hits the creature with her cane, but the creature bites the cane instead)

Ugga: Drop her!

(Ugga punches the creature to let her go, letting it explode.)

Ugga: Ooh.

(Sandy jumps.)

Ugga: Sandy!

(She near attacks the baby kanga-dilo. Thunk uses Eep's diary as a shield, but her diary got destroyed anyways.)

Thunk: Oops.

Eep: Hey!

Guy: Hey.

Eep: Hey.

Grug: Hey! Get your head in the game.

(They were about to kiss, but Eep stops and punches a Kanga-dodo instead and Grug headbutts the creature as well)

Grug: That's my girl!

(Grug and Eep fist bumps)

Grug: Boom!

Eep: Boom!

Guy: Boomsies?

Eep: Boomsies.

(Some of the mosquito-like creatures kidnap Guy while Eep grabs the mosquito)

Eep: Hey!

Eep (Narrator): Dad always says "The pack stays together".

Grug: The pack stays together!

(The mosquitos also kidnaps Grug as well)

Eep (Narrator): But with Guy, sometimes it's feels like it’s just the two of us.

(All the mosquitos kidnaps the family, while Eep and Guy are in a relationship, with I Think I Love You by The Partridge Family plays)

Grug: Come on!

(Grug holds the family and they fall on the lava and the lava burst on Eep and Guy)

Eep: I gotcha you.

(They were about to kiss, but they heard Thunk on fire. Then it switch to Eep being eaten by a plant eating creature)

Grug: Hang on, I'm coming!

Guy: I gotcha you.

(Grug was about to rescue her, but Guy rescued her first and Grug now got eaten. Then Chunky push them over and fall. Then it cuts to them going underwater, while Guy puts a rose on Eep's hair. They were about to kiss again, but got electrocuted and so does the entire family by an eel and got thrown out. They were still about to kiss, but they kissed on Grug. The scene cuts to them still walking)

Thunk: So hungry!

(He then saw a berry and he eats it, but it wasn't a berry, it was a Koala-like creature's butt and starts attacking him and flies away)

Thunk: I still would have eaten that.

Grug: All right, pack. There's nothing to strike kill for the last 10 minutes so, let's camp here. Gran and Thunk, you find a place to sleep.

Thunk: Here.

Gran: Here's good.

Grug: Sandy and Chunky, you stay at watch.

(They start growling at him)

Grug: Ugga and I will forage. Guy and Eep. Guy and Eep? GUY AND EEP!

(He sees them playing around with them)

Eep: Boop.

Guy: Boop.

Grug: Hello! Hey! (claps hand) You're in charge of the fire.

Eep: No problem, Dad.

Guy: You can count on us, Dad

Grug: DON'T CALL ME THAT!

(The scene cuts to Eep and Guy still in love with the croods sleeping, while True by Spandau Ballet plays)

Guy: Hey.

Eep: Hey what?

Guy: Hey you.

Eep: Hey you back.

Guy: Uh-uh, I hey you first.

Eep: And I'm heying you right back.

Grug: Look at them, Guy used to have so many ideas. I'm mean, wasn't he the one that gave us fire? Now he's useless. They never survive on their own.

Thunk: Hungryyy...

Grug: I know, Thunk, and we'll eat our ration of dry twigs, and bitter roots, just as soon as two pack members, who shall remain nameless, do their jobs and START THE FIRE!!!

Guy: Come on, man. Just chill!

Grug: '''NO, YOU COME ON, MAN!!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!'''

Ugga: Hey, hey, hey! Easy! Calm down, big guy. You know, Grug, eventually, Eep and Guy, they’re gonna want to start their own pack, just like we do. It's our nature.

Grug: Oh, It's not happening. The pack is stronger together. Eep would never leave us, like she would ever, come on.

(He starts to laugh. The scene then cuts to them sleeping, except for Guy.

Grug: ( snorts) No, No the pack stay together, Pack stay together.

(they roll around and Guy gets squeezed)

Guy: Eep, are you awake?

Eep: Yeah.

Guy: Hold on, I'm coming over.

(He tries to get to Eep, but it went on Gran, with her open eyes)

Guy: Oh! Hey, Gran.

(Gran snores and he closes her eyes, then the family rolls again and land at Eep)

Guy: Hi!

Eep: Hi.

Guy: Can he hear us?

Eep: Nah, once he's out, he's out.

Guy: Oh! Hey.

Eep: Hey.

Guy: No, no. This is a "Hey" with a question. So, uh, I was thinking...

(He kisses her hand, but it was Grug's hand)

Eep: That's not my hand.

Guy: Anyway, uh, I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about tomorrow, Our tomorrow.

Eep: Our tomorrow? What do you mean?

Guy: What I mean is, maybe our tomorrow is different than the rest of the packs. Maybe our tomorrow is a place of our own, you know, like a home, just the two of us.

Eep: Just the two of us? Guy, I really missed my family, but that does sound amazing! A place of our own, our home. Ooh, can our home have flowers?

Guy: Sure can! And butterflies.

Eep: And a sweet Babbling Brook.

Guy: And privacy.

Eep: Ooh! What's privacy?

(Gran's foot lands on Guy)

Guy: It means you only smell the feet you wanna smell.

Eep: Wow.

Guy: So, uh, do you, Eep Amber Crood, think you can spend your tomorrow with me?

(He holds his rock painting of him and Eep)

Eep: I do.

(They heard a noise coming)

Eep: I'm going to fall asleep and dream about our home. Goodnight, Guy.

Guy: Night Eep.

Grug: Just the two of them.

(Grug gets out of the sleep pile and starts walking alone)

Grug: One day, My baby will be mine with whispers and kisses. When Grug hears oh yeah, I hear it. Grug hears it all I'll bet your private house on tomorrow with whispers and kisses, bubber-babble brooking... What the heck is that?!

(The next day while they're sleeping, a loud noise is heard, it was Thunk's stomach)

Eep: Thunk, make it stop!

Ugga: Hit snooze.

Thunk: Stop it, tummy.

(The rest of the family got up thanks to his stomach growling, and Chunky sits on Guy)

Guy: What a glorious morning.

(Chunky steps on Guy)

Thunk: What's that? You want to play? Go get it, boy! No, Sandy! Mom, Sandy's fetching Douglas's stick again.

(Sandy and Douglas came back)

Thunk: What's that?

Ugga: Kill circle!

(They start in a kill circle with sticks and rocks holding)

Eep: Take it off, babe.

Guy: Thanks.

(Guy removes the coconut on his stick)

Gran: Today is a good day to DIE!!!

(Something is coming from the bushes, it was Grug)

Grug: Hey everyone you’ll never guess what I found...

(They start attack Grug anyways)

Ugga: Oops. Sorry, honey. We thought you were a predator trying to kill us.

Grug: No. Never apologies for an effective kill circle. Now, you have to come see this. Follow me! Come on. This way. Yes! You're gonna love it!

(They all look confused so they went and discovered something)

Eep: Woah!

Guy: Woah!

Belt: Dun, dun, dunnnn?

Eep: What is that? I've never seen anything like it.

Thunk: What is it mom? Make it leave!

Guy: There's something about this.

Eep: I think it's the end of the world.

Gran: Looks like I've seen it all. Well, that's it for me. I'm glad it's you, Chunky.

(Gran goes inside Chunky's mouth. Grug opens the wall of sticks)

Grug: It's not the end. It’s just the beginning. Welcome to Our Tomorrow.

(It shows a hidden valley with all of them gasp, even Chunky and Gran)

Eep: Look at all this food. Guy, are you seeing this?

Thunk: You're the best dad ever! Let's eat!

Grug: Woah, woah, woah, one moment, Thunk. Before we eat, I like to say a few words. Let this flag mark the day I discovered our home filled with flowers, and butterflies, and a sweet Babbling Brook. Here, right here, all your needs will be--

Gran: I'm hungry!

Grug: ''' IN A MINUTE!!! '''

Thunk: Now he's stop looking.

Grug: Woah, woah, just a minute, just a minute.

(They all start to become zombies)

Grug: Wait! This is our home. Let's all be together forever and-- and your welcome. I did this, problem solved. (stomach growls) Woohoo!

Guy: Isn't it strange how this food grows in perfectly straight--

(They ran over Guy and start running and start eating. Thunk goes inside of a Pumpkin-like fruit. Ugga jumps and eats the pear-like fruit. Sandy eats a butterfly. Grug opens a watermelon-like fruit with Gran inside and she spits the seeds on him and starts eating the fruit at each other. Ugga and Sandy eats a strawberry-like fruit. Eep eats a blueberry. Guy licks a pineapple-like fruit. Gran eats a corn-like fruit. All of the Croods eats every single watermelon one-by-one. Then Chunky drinks some water. Then they all eat blueberries and it cuts to them sleeping because they are full)

Thunk: I don't feel like eating anymore. Mom, am I sick?

Ugga: No, honey. You're full.

Thunk: Full feels weird.

Grug: I can't eat another bite. Wait!

(He then saw a banana in the tree)

Grug: Yes I can. BaNaNa.

Thunk: Banana?

Grug: I tasted one once long, long, ago. It was summer. The sun was warm on my shoulders. Flowers were in high bloom. I was just a cub. Well, I got that banana in one bite. And ever since the day has it gone by without me thinking about it.

Thunk: What was it like, father? What was it like?

Grug: No one's gonna describe it, Thunk. No words are good enough.

(Grug grabs the banana with the croods helping him)

Eep: We get it, dad. Just grab the banana.

Grug: Come here, sweet thing.

(Grug takes the banana, but a chicken-seal creature appears and screams, which uses as a security alarm. Thunk screams with a chicken-seal. Then it captures them. Chunky still drinking. The Chicken-seals then stop screaming)

Eep: Do you guys hear that?

Gran: What is that?

(They saw a tiki looking disguises and it multiplied into two)

Guy: What happened to privacy.

Ugga: It's getting closer!

(The tiki's now uses pointer stick)

Grug: Kill circle!

(The tikis open their eye's view to see intruders)

Phil: Something got over the wall.

Hope: Don't get too close. Who knows what kind of weird, beyond wild creatures they are. Let's just jab at them from afar. Jab, Jab Jab

(They try to poke them, but Gran eats the stick instead)

Phil: Wait a moment. Look past the matted pelts of gnashing teeth. The eyes, there's a kind of humanity.

(Grug did a mumble talk to them)

Hope: They're trying to communicate.

Phil: Hope, these are people!

(He unties the trap, then they remove the tiki's)

Phil: Cave people.

Hope: I thought cave people died off years ago.

Phil: (To Grug) We...happy...meet...you. (claps)

Hope: In heart.

Phil and Hope: Much...joy.

Grug: Thanks.

Ugga: Much joy to you, too.

Hope: Oh, they speak beautifully.

Phil: Oh, forgive our condensation, friend. I'm Phil.

Hope: And I am Hope and we...

Phil and Hope: …are The Bettermans.

Greg: Better...man?

Phil: Betterman.

Hope: Emphasis on the better.

Grug: Well. we're The Croods and this is...

Phil and Hope: Guy?!

Eep: Wow, good guess.

Guy: Mr. and Mrs. Betterman?

Hope: Guy!

Grug: Wait, what's going on here?

Hope: Oh, Guy!

Phil: Guy! Hope, It's Guy. Guy, Guy, Guy, Guy.

Grug: What's going on here?

( then it cuts to the croods walking with Phil and Hope )

Guy: I grew up, with Hope and Phill. They’re my parents best friends, until.

Hope: Oh guy, we thought we lost your whole family.

Phil: That was the moment we realize, in such a dangerous world there had to be a better way to live.

( They show the croods they’re tree house)

Guy: Is that your home?

Eep: Woah, That’s their home!

( the croods are amazed execpt for Grug )

Thunk: Look dad!

( the croods runs towards the tree house )

Eep: Hey Guy, race you to the top!

( she climbs up the tree )

Hope: Excuse me little tiger girl? We don’t climb this tree.

Eep: Huh?

Hope: There’s a better man way.

Phil: Unofficial motto.

Eep: Woah!

( she climbs down the tree and the croods gets inside the elevator.)

Hope: Ok everybody in?

(Chunky tries to get in )

Hope: Yeah, The death cat will have to stay outside.

Ugga: See you Chunky.

Hope: Sorry, animals track in to much... dirt.

( She sees Sandy itching her head like a dog and little bugs come off her head )

Phil: Going up.

( Phil pulls a lever and the elevator starts going up to the treehouse.)

Grug: Woah, what’s happening?!

( the elevator stops and Sandy bursts out of the elevator’s doors )

Hope: Welcome to the better man home.

Ugga: It’s beautiful!

Grug: Kinda big isn’t it?

Thunk: Woah, I can see the clouds but I’m inside. What is this? What is this!

Phil: Uh, we call that a window.

Thunk: Window.

Phil: Ok, uh, Guy. Dawn will be so happy to see you.

Guy: Dawn?

Eep: Dawn?

Guy: Yeah, we grew up together.

Hope: Oh, Daaaawn!

(Ugga sees herself in the mirror and smashes it)

Hope: Oh, that's just your reflection. It's called a mirror.

Ugga: Oh, sorry.

Hope: Daaaawn!

(Gran smashes the window also but with a stick)

Gran: Sorry.

Hope: DAWN!!! Where is she?

Dawn: I'm at the panic cubby.

Phil and Hope: The Panic Cubby!

Hope: Dawn, It wasn't wild animals. It's safe to come out.

(Dawn came out of the panic cubby and breathes)

Dawn: Mom, maybe we should drill some air holes in the door for panic cubby?

Hope: No air holes. Snakes can get in. But you'll never believe who we just found.

Dawn: Guy?

Guy: Dawn?

Dawn: Guy! Is it really you?

Guy: It's you, your here!

Guy and Dawn: Your so old. So are you! That's what I said. ( laughs )

Phil: Ah together again.

Hope: These two were inseparable when they were young, inseparable.

Eep: Dawn’s a girl?

( Guy and Dawn keeps laughing until suddenly they got pulled into each other hips where Belt and a new sloth are )

Guy: Hold on Stop! You accessorize with a sloth? I accessorize with a sloth, this is Belt!

Dawn: Mine’s Sash!

Sash: Ooh la la!

Guy: Oh! Um these are the croods!

Ugga: Hello!

Grug: Hey.

Thunk: What’s up?

Guy: And this, oh! And yeah this is Eep!

Eep: Your a girl?

Dawn: Yeah.

Eep: A girl...Friend! I've never had a girlfriend before

Dawn: Me either! Me either!

Phil: Be Careful! Hold it!

Hope: Extra vertebrae!

Dawn: This is amazing!

Eep: What do we do?

Dawn: What do we say to each other?

Eep: What's happening to our voices?

Dawn: Why are our voices getting so high?

(Eep and Dawn both squeal at each other and Sandy howls)

Phil: As our house guests, you are welcome to anything you want!

Grug: Ooh ha ha ha, I know what I want!

Phil: Uh execpt for that.

Grug: But there’s so many of them.

Phil: Oh sorry Grug I’m afraid there’s only one house rule here, we don’t eat the banana’s.

Grug: But they’re right here.

Phil: Anything else, anything at all is yours to enjoy.

Grug: But.

Phil: We don’t eat the bananas.

Grug: Really?

( Phil gives Grug two thumbs up )

Grug: No bananas?

( Phil does it again )

Grug: But.

Ugga: We won’t eat your bananas.

Hope: It’s getting late, so.

Grug: Well we can just sleep pile right here.

Thunk: Got it! It’s always fun dad.

Hope: Look Phil, they sleep in a pile.

Dawn: Ooh! Fun!

Hope: Nuh uh!

Phil: Actually everyone gets their own room.

Guy: (gasp) We get separate rooms!

Eep: What’s a room?

Thunk: What’s a separate? Phil: We Bettermans believe that privacy promotes individuality. Unofficial motto.

Grug: Well we, Croods, believe that the pack sticks together, no matter what.

( but the croods abandoned Grug )

Thunk: Tell me about my room Mr. better dad.

Phil: Well son, it’s right this way, it all started with a tree and an idea.

( Grug stands alone, Guy and Belt looks outside of their room )

Guy: Wow, what a day. I never thought I’d see the better mans again.

Eep: Hey you.

Guy: Hey.

Eep: Wow, sure beats the view from any cave I know.

Guy: Yeah, I can’t believe this place.

( he stretches and hops into his bed.

Guy: Oh! This bed is so comfortable, ( sighs) nobody’s foot in my mouth. This is so much better.

Eep: Yeah, so is this that “privacy” thing, you were telling me about. It just feels kinda, far you know. Guy?

( Guy is asleep snoring on his new bed while Eep continues to call his name )

Thunk: Time to watch some late night window. Oh! Check it out Douglass, this guys my favorite!

( they see a “moomath” )

Thunk: Ok moomath, whatcha going to do now?

( the moomath trips )

Thunk: Oh! ( laughs) what an idiot!

( Sandy runs in her sleep, Gran snores as her eyes are still open, and Grug pulls a chair into his own sleep pile but he couldn’t sleep )

Grug: Ugga? Ugga?

( She was asleep in her room until Grug smashes his head into her room )

Grug: UGGA!

Ugga: Kill circle! Oh, hey honey.

Grug: Yeah, I couldn’t sleep either, all these separate rooms, who could live in a place like this?

Ugga: Well.

Grug: And there’s something off about that Phil better man guy, way off!

Ugga: Grug, you know what I think, maybe we could stay.

Grug: Excuse me, you're thinking about staying here?

Ugga: No, I want to be in the wild fighting vulture rats for scraps. Of course, I want to stay!

Grug: Yeah, but...

Ugga: It's nice here and you were just worried about your daughter leaving. But the pack is together.

Grug: Sorta.

Ugga: If you give this place a chance, you might actually like it here.

Grug: Do i have to like Phil?

Ugga: You have to be nice, no hitting.

Grug: Ok. But if I have to be alone,

(Grug smashes into her room)

Grug: I'm gonna be alone with you.

(The scene cuts to Phil and Hope in their room)

Hope: I mean, can you believe it?

Phil: After all these years, and Guy shows up on our doorstep.

Hope: And to think that we were worried about Dawn being alone, and now Guy is back. It's like fate brought them back together.

Phil: Like it was meant to be.

Hope: But did you see the way that Cave Girl was holding Guy's hands?

Phil: Hmm...

Hope: You don't think Guy could possibly be serious about that Neep. Or Peep, is it Eep?

Phil: Eep, It's Eep, right?

Hope: Well, I'm just not sure Eep fits in here, you know? In fact, none of them do.

Phil: Poor things do seem to struggle with the concept of walls.

Hope: I don't know if cave people belong in a modern world.

Thunk: Aah! I'm going to watch window forever!

Phil: Do they know that?

Hope: I feel like we just need to help them understand that they have a bright future outside these walls.

Phil: And Guy's future is inside the walls.

Phil and Hope: With Dawn.

Phil: Hope Betterman, always thinking of others.

Hope: Honestly, I just can't help it.

(The scene then cuts to morning with an chicken seal crows)

Guy: Ooh, that was, hands down, the best night's sleep I've gotten in...

Phil: Morning, Guy!

Guy: Oh! Hi, Mr. Betterman.

Phil: Fresh bitter bean juice?

Guy: Uh, thank you?

Hope: Hi, Guy.

Guy: Ah! Mrs. Betterman.

Hope: These are for you. I made them last night.

(Guy wears some slippers and took a walk with Phil and Hope)

Guy: Oh, uh, I should wake Eep up. You know, it's been seven hours since I said, uh, "Hey".

Hope: That's adorable! You know, let's let that poor Eep sleep. She must be exhausted.

Guy: Nah, I'm sure she's...

Hope: Oh, look! Here's Dawn! What a coincidence.

Phil: Why, Dawn, whatever are you doing on this particular rope bridge at this particular moment in time?

Dawn: My morning chores?

Phil and Hope: Morning chores!

Guy: Genius. Genius! Genius! Genius! Genius! Genius! Genius!

Hope and Phil: Genius.

Guy: Genius, Mmm.

Eep: Boom.

Grug: Boom. Couldn’t sleep last night.

Eep: Me neither.

Grug: When I woke up, your mom was missing. You don’t think a predator took her, do you?

Eep: Nope. Found her.

Grug: It’s like this place is changing everyone. We don’t sleep-pile anymore. We don’t wake up together, and Thunk just stares at that box.

Thunk: Ohh. Not now, Douglas. The birds are on.

Eep: Dad, relax. It’s been one night. And a little change can be… Guy?

Guy: Hey.

Grug: Guy?

Eep: Wow. You’re you, but you don’t look like you. And you smell like flowers.

Guy: And soft rain.

Grug: More like a clear mountain stream.

Guy: With just a hint of vanilla. It’s called a shower, you should try it.

Eep: You want me to smell like vanilla?

Guy: Just a hint.

Eep: What happened to your clothes?

Hope: We burned his clothes while he was in the shower. In fact, they were so dirty that we washed them and then burned them.

Grug: Come on, Thunk. We’re going outside.

Thunk: I don’t wanna. I’m watching birds.

Grug: In my day, we didn’t stare at birds. We fought them.

Thunk: Let me live my life!

Dawn: Hey, new friend girl! Want some breakfast?

Eep: Uh, sure!

Guy: Oh! I’ll start the fire again.

Eep: Fire, Hey.

Guy: Hey, yeah. Check this out. Now, that’s how you make a fire. You don’t need two people anymore. I can’t believe how much time I wasted clacking rocks. This is amazing! And it’s such a time-saver, and it’s so simple. No more smashed fingers. The Bettermans really do…

Dawn: Oh, there you are. I was looking all over for you. Whoa. We are really up here!

Eep: Do I smell weird to you?

You smell… different. Like river rocks with, uh… a hint of moss. Whoa! What’s that mark on your wrist?

Oh, it’s just a scar.

Scar?

Yeah, from a thorned crab. No big deal.

Whoa! And that?

Razor worm.

Well, what about that one?

Scorpion badger.

Swamp snake, sky snake, volcano, end of the world, my little sister, my little sister, my little sister. She bites a lot.

And my dad doesn’t even know about this one.

Whoa. Peanut toe.

Every mark is an adventure! My parents won’t even let me have scars.

That’s why they built the wall. To keep me safe.

You’re not allowed outside the wall?

Nope, not since what happened to Guy’s family.

So, this farm… is like your cave. You’re just like me! Come on.

Oh, man. Is this your ride?

Nah, it’s my dad’s. Listen to this baby purr. See that pig gator over there?

Yeah.

Wanna jump it?

Yeah.

Whoo!

See that chicken seal over there?

Yeah.

Wanna jump it?

Yeah!

Whoo!

You see that wall?

Yeah!

Wanna jump it?

Yeah! No! Eep, I’m not allowed to go outside the wall!

Don’t worry. We’ll be back before anyone knows. Are you okay?

Whoo-hoo!

Oh, my gosh! My heart is pounding! I feel so alive!

Let’s jump more stuff.

Whoo!

Ready?

Let’s do it.

Yeah!

Again! Something bigger!

Uh…

Oh! Mrs. Betterman.

We were just checking out this invention. What’s it for?

Um… It… W…

You know, why don’t you ask Phil?

He spends a lot of time in there.

Anyway, here.

I thought you might want to have this.

It’s some old pictures of our families.

Oh.

Thank you.

Whoa!

Where does this go?

Dad, what if I miss something? I wanna go back inside.

No, Thunk. Play with Douglas. He’s feeling left out.

And he’s sad that everyone isn’t spending time together anymore.

All right. You wanna play fetch, Douglas?

Yeah? Okay. Okay. Go get it!

Oh!

I’m sorry! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!

I’m going back to the window!

Hey! There he is!

Grug! Over here, buddy.

Let’s go for a ride.

Grug. Gruggers.

G-G-G-Grug.

Grug.

Grug? Grug.

Wanna go for that ride?

Pretty impressive, eh, Grug?

Funny story, everything you see before you used to be a sad, hopeless, dust-filled wasteland.

That doesn’t sound funny.

But through the power of higher thought,

I devised a way to get all the water from that high mountain source to flow down here.

How interesting.

Yup, I turned a barren desert into a lush oasis.

Now we have all the water we need and then some.

Matter of fact, we’re thinking of putting in a new…

Ooh, banana.

No!

Ow.

What’d you do that for?

Sorry. I’m afraid I must remind you of our one rule.

We don’t eat the bananas.

Well, why not? I mean, they’re everywhere!

Look! You got a whole bowl full of them over there. Who are those for?

Grug, we could talk about fruit all day.

Or… do you wanna see something really cool?

I don’t know.

Hey. Fixing yourself a snack?

Oh, I thought I’d clean up a little. Noticed we made a bit of a mess yesterday.

Oh, no. I hadn’t noticed.

Um, you can just put that over there in the compost bin.

Oh, smart.

Good job.

Well, we didn’t want you to think we’re a family of savages.

Savages.

Sandy, drop it.

Drop it!

Kids, right?

So, Ugga, you must really miss the wild.

Right? With the hunting…

Not really.

…and the gathering…

Not really.

…the baying at the moon.

Not at all.

Honestly, it sucks out there.

If no one’s died before breakfast, it’s a win.

It is so much better in here.

Oh.

That’s nice.

Yeah.

Actually, Grug and I were thinking that maybe we…

Ah! I almost forgot. I made this for you.

A basket?

Mm-hmm.

Well, it’s more like-like a travel basket.

Travel basket?

Yeah, for the road.

It’s got fruit, nuts, soap, more soap and a neck pillow.

Oh. Yeah. This’ll be great… for the road.

Thank you.

It’s the least we can do to thank you for bringing Guy home.

Home?

Home.

Guy?

Guy’s home. You got it.

Well, gotta go. See you at dinner, okay?

Yeah!

Whoo!

Ooh!

Huh? Whoa!

Whoa.

Yeah!

Whoo!

Yeah!

Whoa!

Ooh!

Ahh! Eep!

Eep?

Ow.

I have a scar.

You have a scar!

I have a scar!

Yeah!

Ow!

Don’t tell Mrs. Betterman, but while she thinks I’m toiling in the hot sun,

I’m actually in here, my man cave.

It’s hot in here.

Grug, you might be more comfortable if you removed your fur pelt.

I-I already did.

Right.

Yeah, it’s a place a father can escape the chaos of family life.

Relax, hang with his bros, if bros he has.

Another shark milk?

So, you come in here to hide from your family?

Not hide, help. I help my family.

So, uh, how does this help your family?

Yeah.

This is where I find solutions to my family’s biggest problems.

Okay.

So, feeling relaxed? Comfortable?

Susceptible to suggestion?

What’s your problem, big guy?

I don’t have a problem.

Come on, Grug. I’ve seen you moping around.

What’s your problem?

I’m hot. That-That’s my problem.

Knock, knock.

I’m knocking on the door, big guy. Open it.

No.

Open up to me.

No.

Share with me.

Uh-uh. I don’t wanna. I’m hot.

Tell me your problem.

I don’t have a problem.

You have a problem.

Tell me your problem.

I don’t…

Tell me.

I don’t…

Tell me.

I don’t…

Tell me. Tell me.

I don’t like it here, all right?!

My pack’s all split up. There’s no one to sleep-pile with.

You won’t let me eat bananas.

Guy gave Eep a rock. He kissed my hand.

They’re planning on leaving the pack.

And I don’t like you at all!

Hmm. Now, that’s interesting.

You know, maybe I just need to get to know you better.

No, not that. The part about Eep and Guy.

Oh. Guy’s trying to take my daughter away.

Father to father, I worry about my daughter too.

She was so lonely before Guy came back.

Yeah.

It’s almost like Guy’s the problem.

Wait a minute. Are you saying what I think you’re saying?

Yes. No.

I don’t know. Hot.

Are you suggesting… we take Guy off your hands so Dawn isn’t lonely, and Eep stays with you, with your pack?

Uh, am I?

Why, Grug, that’s a truly great idea.

You’ve done it! You’ve solved both our problems.

No. Really?

So, we have a deal, bro?

Deal.

Hey, Ugga! I just had the best time with Phil!

Look at me. Standing up straight, got lots of ideas.

You know, Phil’s a good listener.

He knows a smart idea when he hears… one.

Heh.

The Bettermans want us to leave without Guy.

Oh, um… You think so, huh?

As if we would ever do that.

Well…

Guy’s a member of our pack.

Kind of.

And can you imagine what that would do to Eep? It would absolutely destroy her!

Well, initially.

They think we’re just simple cave people.

That we’re so stupid, we’d trade Guy for a fruit basket.

And then she tried to make me think it was my idea!

That is a great idea.

Betterman.

As if we’d ever do that!

So we have a deal?

Betterman.

They must think we’re pretty stupid.

You’ve done it, Grug. Thinking man. You’re not stupid.

Betterman!

Betterman!

Betterman!

Betterman!

Betterman!

Maybe we should take it down a notch, honey.

We gotta focus. We’ve gotta get Guy and get out of here.

Okay. But first, there’s something I’ve wanted to do for a really, really long time.

Ah. I can’t believe they kept these old picture albums.

That’s the Bettermans.

Okay, this is my mom, this is my dad, and that’s me.

Yeah, I get it. I was skinny.

It’s pretty great here, huh, Belt?

Shh!

Whee!

Shh.

Is that my dad? Hide me!

Mr. Betterman?

“Mr. Betterman”?

It’s just Guy. Hi, Guy!

Hey, you.

Where’d you go?

Took Chunky for a joyride.

Joyride!

Joyride?

We rolled the death…

Outside the wall.

…cat!

You took Dawn for a joyride outside the wall?

Yeah.

The Bettermans don’t want Dawn outside the wall.

They built the wall for a reason, you know, to keep everyone safe.

Guy, relax.

Yeah, Guy, take it down low.

What’s wrong with her?

It’s just a reaction to the bee venom.

Bee venom?

Bee venom!

What the…

It’s just a little bee sting.

“Little”?

Hey, you’re not the boss of me.

This is a very severe…

Shh.

Eep, this is a very severe bee sting!

“This is a very severe bee sting.”

She’s fine.

No, no. She’s not fine.

I’m fine.

Dawn!

Eep, that was not smart. She could have been seriously hurt.

You gotta think about these things!

Why are you acting like this? You like adventures.

No! No. I like not dying. Things are different now.

But she needed to get out.

She’s just like me. This is her cave!

No, she’s not like you. This is not her cave!

She’s not a cave girl.

“Cave girl”?

What does he mean by “cave girl”?

I’ll give him a cave girl!

I trust you’ve all brought your appetites.

Chef Hope’s been working hard all day.

Mmm. This is so good, Mrs. Better-mom.

You’re eating the flower arrangement.

Wow.

Uh, Grug, Ugga, what can we offer you?

Ah, we’re good.

Yeah, we ate a little something on the way over.

Oops. Pardon me.

Eh…

Okay.

Oh, look!

Oh!

Guy and Dawn are here…

…together.

You good to do this?

Just try to keep your giant hand out of sight.

Gotcha!

Ah!

Oh, welcome, Eep. Your seat is over here, next to…

Gran.

We’re not done. You called me a cave girl.

But y-y-you are a cave girl.

But you said “cave girl” like it’s a bad thing.

What’s wrong with cave people, Guy?

There’s nothing wrong with cave people.

Can I get you a towel or a utensil or something?

I’m good.

Why are you acting like this?

I’m just acting like a cave girl, Guy.

But I guess that’s not good enough for you anymore.

I never said that.

Grug, let’s take this moment to talk about your great idea.

Uh, what?

Grug felt, and I concurred, that Guy should be with his kind of people, evolved people.

And Eep should stay with her kind.

So we made a deal.

Say again?

What deal?

His deal!

Your idea.

Your idea?

Guy stays with us, and Eep stays with her pack.

Grug’s words, not mine.

You tried to get rid of me?

Really, Dad?

No! Honey, I don’t think that.

I mean, he made me think that I thought that.

He tricked me!

He took me into his stupid secret man cave, and he tricked me.

What’s a man cave?

It’s a place I go to get away.

Away from what?

Away from you! Duh!

What?

We’re all thinking it.

How dare you?

How dare you!

How dare the both of you!

You’re trying to fix me up with Guy?

What happened to your hand?

Oh. I got stung by a bee. Oh!

Outside the wall. Oh!

You went outside the wall?

Outside the wall?

This is all your fault!

Oh! Our fault?

Can I say something?

No!

Okay.

I can’t believe you actually made that deal.

What did they do to you?

I got scars.

Our baby!

It was really hot.

I was full of shark milk. I was naked!

Why, Phil? Why?

Because privacy promotes individuality! Unofficial motto!

Well, kiddo, looks like we all have something to hide.

That’s it! Come on, Guy. We’re leaving.

Wait, hold on a second. First, you wanted to get rid of me, Grug, and now you want me to come with you?

You were trying to take my daughter away!

Promising my baby girl butterflies and babbling brooks.

Aha!

You see? I knew you were listening.

There is no privacy with you people.

Oh, you mean cave people?

Not what I said.

Positives, Eep, that’s all I’m saying. Lots of things here are better.

“Better”?

Like not starving, no sleep pile.

What’s wrong with the sleep pile?

Oh, come on, Eep! The sleep pile reeks!

Reeks of love!

Well, at least I smell like me.

I don’t even know what you smell like.

Flowers and soft rain.

I don’t even know who you are anymore!

With your vanilla and your stupid neck rock!

It’s this place. This place is…

Home! This place is home!

“Home”?

This is the place my parents wanted me to find!

This is Tomorrow.

Well, clearly, I don’t belong in this Tomorrow.

I’m leaving.

Are you coming with me?

I, um…

I can’t.

Then I guess we have two different Tomorrows.

Eep.

So, who’s ready for dessert?

I told you, we’re not hungry!

You ate a banana?

Nuh-uh. We ate all the bananas.

That’s impossible.

Not for cave people.

What have you done?

They’re just bananas, Phil.

“Just bananas”? “Just bananas,” she says!

That was my one rule!

Wait, we’re not done.

There was more I was planning on saying to you!

Mrs. Better-mom, I’ll just take my dessert at the window.

You kidding me? I’ve lived with her family for how long?

With the… With the dirt and the smell.

Eep? Eep, is that… you?

I don’t know.

Did you hit him?

No.

I thought about it.

The bananas were key to our survival.

The bananas were keeping us safe.

Safe from what?

It’s here… for the bananas!

What is, Phil?

It has come every night for 100 moons or more.

I found bananas are the only thing that keeps it at bay.

What’s on the other side of the wall, Phil?

Night after night, it was never enough!

It wants its bananas!

What’s behind the wall, Phil?

What is it, Phil?

What are the bananas for?

What is it?

I don’t know!

Huh?

It’s just a little punch monkey.

I’m leaving.

You just kept giving it bananas?

Wait, wait. Let me understand something.

You had no idea you were working… for an itty-bitty monkey?

Giving it bananas for years!

That’s not good.

No, no, no! Get away!

Phil!

Come on, come on, come on!

Oh, Douglas, those flowers did not agree with me.

What’d I miss?

Hey, Mrs. Better-mom, wasn’t there a wall there before?

Phil?

Dad? Guy?

Grug?

It’s gone.

The wall is gone. Phil’s gone.

Oh, my gosh. Something has taken him, taken all of them.

What are we gonna do?

No sign of them. But I did find this though.

Is that my basket?

Good eye.

Sandy can track them with this.

Sandy, seek.

Okay, right.

You guys go, and Dawn and I will stay here and fix the wall.

Or better yet, Dawn, let’s get you back inside your panic cubby.

In fact, I think we can both fit if we suck it in.

She’s got the scent.

Whatever took them couldn’t have gotten far.

Mom,

I’m going too.

Dawn, listen to yourself! We are not like them.

Dad needs us.

Wait. Dawn!

Dawn, you’ll need the travel basket.

It has a neck pillow.

Where are you taking us?

Stop talking!

If you’re going to eat us,

you should eat the fat one first. He ate your bananas.

Oh, don’t you blame me for this.

This is all your fault!

My fault?

Tell him, Guy!

She says I changed.

I didn’t change! This is the real me, baby!

You know? You know what I’m saying?

What you see, that’s what you get. That’s what you…

There you are. I lost you for a second.

Anyway, I don’t need anybody. No one at all.

Ow! Fine! Wasn’t much of a conversation anyway.

Guess it’s just me with my thoughts.

Travel log.

Literally, I’m traveling in a log.

So, it’s been a while. A little update.

Remember that Tomorrow?

You know, the one I spent my whole life looking for?

Well, turns out, the girl I love wants nothing to do with it… or me.

Girls, very, very complicated.

Dear diary. Hey, it’s me.

Remember what I said about fate?

Well, fate’s dumb and a liar.

Fate thinks it’s better than you.

Fate wants to stay with…

The Bettermans! They’re amazing. I mean, have you seen their tree house?

What’s so great about living in a tree?

Showers, instant fire, so much food, and…

“Privacy.”

Well, one thing’s clear.

It’s over!

…over!

Fine!

Fine!

Who cares?

Not me.

Are you okay?

Huh?

It’s so bright out here.

I just need to watch the window for a… I just need to watch it for a minute!

Oh.

Hey, my travel basket!

Travel window.

Ugga, can you tell your son to keep his grubby hands off my stuff, please?

Listen, I feel really bad about what happened at dinner with my parents, and you, and Guy.

Oh.

Please, I’m good. It’s in the past!

You know, Guy and I, we’re too different.

Well, you and I are different, and we get along great, right?

Yeah, yeah.

But it’s-it’s complicated.

He’s a boy.

He is… um… stupid.

You know, it’s different.

What’s the matter? Boy problems?

Well, in my day, we didn’t have boy problems.

Because we didn’t have any boys, or men, or clothes.

We were a warrior tribe of wimmins.

The Thunder Sisters!

What’s a Thunder Sister?

Just Gran’s old bedtime stories.

True stories!

Okay. Dawn, stop talking to the crazy lady. Whoa!

We aren’t actually gonna cross that, are we?

Yes. Sandy’s tracking the scent.

Well, there’s gotta be another way. You know?

Maybe one that’s stable and not infested with land sharks!

Tell you what, you be in charge of gift baskets, and I’ll be in charge of tracking the men.

We cross!

Oh, no, no, no. We are not crossing this!

My cat, my rules. We cross!

Maybe we should take a vote?

Around!

Whoa!

Cross!

Around!

Cross!

No!

Sandy, come!

Thank you, Hope. This is so much safer.

I can’t see!

What’s happening?

Where are they taking us?

Hold tight, Guy. As soon as we get out of this log,

I’ll start swinging and punching our way to freedom.

Come on, punch monkeys! Let’s get this on!

It’s-It’s not just punch monkeys.

It’s kick monkeys, headbutt monkeys, low-blow monkeys, bite monkeys, ab-tight monkeys!

Shoulders that punch! Tails that crunch!

Deranged stranglers! Strange danglers! Fanged manglers!

Mouth-breathers! Brain squeezers!

And a dude with… weird eyes.

Mmm.

Hmm.

They seem to have some kind of primitive language.

But you can’t speak it, huh, smarty-pants?

Well, no. But I’m sure after a few months in captivity…

I can talk to them. I’m fluent in punch monkey.

You are?

Impossible.

Oh, I really don’t want to do this. It’s not a pretty language.

Pardon me, I’d like to ask…

Hmm.

Uh-huh.

Ooh! I see.

So, what’s he saying?

They’re angry because Phil broke the terms of their contract!

Ludicrous! We had no formal agreement, you chiselers!

Oh! Also, they want their bananas.

Yeah, bananas are delicious. Why is that our problem?

And one more question.

Many moons ago, their world was a paradise.

This is gonna be a long story.

“It was a time of much joy.

The water flowed freely.

The bananas grew in bunches.

We had art, politics… economics…

Ooh.

…but most of all, bananas.

So many bananas.

Then, at full moon, the monster came for its bananas.

Yep. Good times.”

Wait. Um, go back.

Yeah. Did he say “monster”?

We are not going back! As I was saying…

“Good times.

But then, for some strange reason, the water went away.

After that, the bananas went away too.

But the monster didn’t go away. No.

It came back for its bananas.

There were no bananas.”

In summary, they really need those bananas.

Monsters, bananas.

I’ll tell you what their problem is. Their water supply is dried up.

Tell them this word-for-word, Guy.

I, Phil Betterman, single-handedly turned a desert into an oasis by diverting water from a high mountain source, much like that… one.

Wait, Guy, don’t translate that.

Too late.

It was all him!

He stole your water, ate your bananas and ruined your society!

That’s it! I will not be pelted!

Now, impertinent apes… meet the full force of my intellect.

Look upon Betterman the toolmaker and despair!

Jab, jab.

Ooh!

Jab, jab, jab.

Way to go, Phil.

Way to go, Hope. We lost the scent.

No, no, no! Travel window!

Come on, come on. Whoo!

It still works, everybody!

We are lost.

This is why you don’t follow cave people. One more word out of…

We have forgotten the old ways, the ways of the world when it was young, and I was young, when I was the queen matriarch of a warrior tribe of wimmins.

The Thunder Sisters.

You got it, girl. The Thunder Sisters.

We faced down danger and kicked death in the crotch!

We don’t need the Thunder Sisters, Mom. We need a way to find the men!

Oh, a way?

The Thunder Sisters always find a way!

Think you got one more flight in you, old girl?

Oh, my goodness.

Fly, Wigasus, fly!

Go.

Go and find them, Wigasus.

That is it!

You are all crazy!

And you know what? That hair’s not coming back. It escaped.

Which is what we need to be doing, Dawn.

Getting away from these crazy… cave people!

Mom!

You came barging into our lives uninvited, without even wiping your disgusting… feet!

And peeping Thunk over here, with his dumb… window.

This show is for older kids.

And that flea-infested rat baby!

Mmm?

You dumb baby.

Okay. I’m gonna kill her.

Hey, hey, hey. Chill.

And you!

Taking my daughter outside the wall, giving her scars and stupid ideas!

Mom! Don’t talk to my friend that way.

And I’m glad Guy came to his senses and realized he doesn’t belong with a cave girl.

He belongs with us, the Bettermans!

Let’s go, Dawn!

Mom, where are you going?

Got to get away!

Cave people!

Oh, no.

What is that?

Eep!

Get him, Eep! Get him!

Mom!

There she is!

We’re coming for you, ice lady!

Kill circle!

Come on, stabby. Time to get stabbing.

Guys, wait a minute.

Everyone lower your weapons.

Dawn. What is she doing?

Trust her. Lower your weapons.

Come here, little guy. You can come out.

Yeah. It’s okay. You got it.

This isn’t a monster.

It’s a mom who was just afraid for her baby and being protective, and maybe a bit, uh, rude.

And maybe she just didn’t realize that the outsiders weren’t a threat but actually… friends.

And that maybe, the wolf spiders and outsiders could live in beautiful harmony together in their tree house!

I mean ice cave.

Whoa.

You got all that just from looking at them?

Perhaps the window by which I view the world is flawed.

I’m gonna go pet them.

Oh, look, they’re hugging me with their teeth!

Ow!

Guy.

Eep?

Guy.

Eep, you came back!

No.

You made your choice.

No. That’s not what I wanted!

Enjoy your… Tomorrow!

Eep! Come back!

No!

Grug, do you mind? I’m trying to think!

Well, I’m trying to get out of here before that monster shows up!

There’s no monster, you bonehead.

They just want to… scare us.

That’s it!

Time to strike fear into the hearts of these apes.

Look upon Betterman the fire maker and despair!

Flame, flame!

Great. Now they have spears and fire.

Guy, he just gave the monkeys fire!

You ready? And shake.

Oh. And shake!

And shake, and shake, and shake, and shake, and shake!

Hey, Gran? Are you sure this is safe?

Don’t worry. It won’t hurt… much.

Where’s Eep?

She went off to get more firewood.

I’m gonna go find her.

Ugga, help me.

Shh.

Eep?

Eep?

Oh, hey!

I’m just…

I’m just getting some firewood.

I think you’ve got it covered.

Do you wanna take a break from beating up the forest?

Are you ready to talk about it?

I can’t believe he would choose a tree over me.

I don’t think it’s that simple.

Guy knew the Bettermans when he was little.

They’re the closest thing he has to a family.

Every time I’ve been hurt before…

I’ve gotten a mark I can see.

This hurts so much, and I can’t even see it.

I can see it.

Doesn’t matter.

We’re just too different.

I don’t even care.

Eep, if something hurts this much, maybe it means you do care.

Maybe it’s something worth fighting for.

So, what are you gonna do about it?

Mom, you sure you don’t wanna join us? It’s really warm in here.

Uh, I’m not really a sleep-pile person.

I have a shawl to keep me… warm. That’s okay.

I’ll just use the travel basket to shield mys…

Aw, come on!

It’s cozy, isn’t it?

Mmm.

Told ya.

Hey, um, Ugga?

Eep?

Hmm?

Hi.

I just wanna say, um… that I have been terrible.

After everything I did and said, you still saved me.

Why?

Well, we always say the pack stays together.

Unofficial motto.

It’s okay.

No. It is not okay. I was awful.

It’s fine.

I tried to steal Guy from you.

It’s okay.

And I gave you a passive-aggressive basket.

Yeah, that was weird.

Who does that?

And your daughter, obviously, is not a rat baby.

She’s beautiful.

She is a beautiful human baby.

And…

Enough!

Where’s Guy?

I think I’m his new pet.

Oh, that’s rough.

What’s he saying, Guy?

The aged wise one has decreed, because we have no bananas for the monster, you will be…

I think I can translate from here, Guy.

They’re saying the oafish caveman will grow bananas for them, watering the fields with his bitter tears.

Oh. And naturally, they want me to supervise.

Not what they said.

You can’t speak punch monkey.

Can I not?

Monkeys, I have mastered your zesty and expressive language.

No, you haven’t.

Let me talk a little punch monkey. Phil Betterman is so smart, he’s stupid!

Oh, what do you have to say to this witty rejoinder?

You know what? Let me fix this.

Do you mind? Can I take this? Thanks.

Do not interrupt me!

You stop interrupting me!

Will you two stop it? I’m trying to get us out of this!

I’m in good with these monkeys. I have a job!

And you two, you’re gonna mess it up!

Like you mess up everything!

Like you messed up my beautiful teenage romance.

Guy, son, please understand.

It’s Grug’s fault.

Huh?

Get him, Guy!

I am not on your side!

Yeah, he’s with me!

I’m not on yours either!

Oh.

I recognize those broad shoulders.

Oh, Eep, you came for me. Boop.

Ah!

Mmm.

What are you doing?

Where you going, Phil?

No man cave here.

You can hide from your family… but you can’t hide from me.

Well, your precious pack… is glad you’re gone… because you smother them.

Oh! Well, you built a wall around your family.

But you also built a wall around your heart.

Oh!

You know what you are?

I’ll tell you what you are.

You’re…

A bad…

Father!

Words as weapons?

You’re just a cave girl.

It’s called a shower. Try it.

I told her to take a shower. Who does that?

You did.

Oh, Eep.

Congratulations, Phil.

You hit me where it hurts.

Likewise.

Hey, Phil! Hey!

Hello, Grug!

Grug, am I hallucinating?

No. Guy’s a giant banana.

What the monkeys were trying to say was that we’re gonna be sacrificed to the monster at full moon tonight.

She’s still waiting out there.

I’m not sure her hair is coming back.

Ooh. How long was I out for?

What are you guys all staring at?

Mom!

Your hair! It’s massive and wild, and I love it.

Thanks.

Gran, your hair!

What? It’s temporary.

No! It’s flying this way!

Wigasus has returned!

Get off me.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Get to the point.

Punch monkeys. I hate punch monkeys.

Wigasus says the men have been taken over yonder.

Great. What’s the plan?

What would the Thunder Sisters do?

Aw. All right, Thunder Sisters!

If we’re gonna rescue these men, there’s something we’re gonna need.

A window?

No.

A catchy chant?

No!

Each other.

“Each” what? No!

New tribe names.

Sandy, you shall be called “Seeker.”

Eep, “Fire Heart.”

Ugga, “Blood Horn.”

Thunk, you’re…

“Thunk.”

Smart girl whose name I don’t remember.

I’m Dawn.

No!

You are “Sister Sunset.”

And you are “Bog Water.”

My name’s “Bog Water”?

I thought of it before you had cool hair.

I am Bog Water!

Hey, Sister Sunset.

Yeah, Fire Heart?

You see those wolf spiders?

Yeah.

Wanna ride them?

Yeah!

Thunder Sisters.

Thunder Sisters!

Thunder Sisters!

Thunder Sister!

Thunder Sisters!

Oh, it went in my mouth.

Well,

I guess this is it.

Phil, I’m sorry I ate your bananas.

I suppose perhaps I have made mistakes too.

Like weaponizing these monkeys?

Well, yeah.

Or stealing their water?

Mmm.

And teaching them to tie these knots?

Well, their knots were atrocious!

I just wish that I’d been able to see Eep one more time.

I spent my whole life searching for a place my parents wanted me to find, and I found it.

But now, all I can think about is Eep.

My best friend… my first and only love.

You know, your parents loved you very much.

I think all they wanted for you was to… find happiness.

And if there’s one thing I know, it’s that you and Eep make each other happy.

Guy,

there’s no one I’d rather my daughter spend her Tomorrow with than you.

Guy, I too give you permission to start a home with Grug’s daughter.

That’s not how it works.

But it is appreciated.

And you two twits are the closest thing I have to fathers.

Thanks, son.

We’re not so different after all, Grug.

We’re two profoundly foolish fathers obsessed with bananas… about to die an incredibly ironic death.

Grug! What’s going on?

I don’t know! I can’t see!

Ah!

I can’t look. What is it?

It’s… It’s…

It’s… actually kind of cute.

That’s just its forehead? Oh, come on!

What the…

Huh?

Thunder Sisters!

Eep!

Whoa!

Eep, wait, wait. There’s something I need to tell you.

Now?

I spent my whole life searching for a place called Tomorrow, but it isn’t a…

Whoa!

Go on.

But Tomorrow isn’t a place.

It’s a person. It’s you, Eep.

You are my Tomorrow.

Really?

Whoo!

Yeah!

Aah! Take that!

D’oh!

I think I made him madder.

Run!

Come on! Get under here!

We’ve gotta drop this thing.

How? There’s too many vines!

Travel log… final entry.

After two of the longest, most terrifying moons in my life, the Croods and the Bettermans made it back together.

Douglas?

Douglas!

Douglas!

And the Bettermans welcomed everyone to stay… forever.

So we made a few changes around the farm.

Yeah, it really opens up the place.

Right?

Yeah!

Oh, and the punch monkeys moved in next door.

Man, do they party a lot!

All day, all night.

Phil actually learned to speak punch monkey.

Okay. I’ll get you that recipe. Don’t you worry.

And Grug…

Come again?

Well, he’s still working on it.

One more time.

Hey, babe. Get to the good part!

Oh, yeah. Right!

Those weren’t the only changes.

Oh, I’m really gonna miss you.

Your mother and I are here if you need us.

Boom?

Boom.

Get in here, son.

Goodbye, Dad.

Our baby’s leaving.

Our baby’s leaving!

Boomsies?

Boom.

Hey, everyone!

Sandy said her first word! Sandy said, “Boomsies!”

Whoo!

Hey.

Hey, what?

Hey, you.

Dun-dun-dun?

Mmm!

Gran, did you do something new with your hair?

Oh, this?

Wigasus took the day off, so I’m trying a new do.

Thunk, no window at the table.

Aw!

Who’s hungry?

It’s a special dish we call Bronana Bread.

My father was afraid of the pack getting smaller.

But in the end, it got bigger.

A whole lot bigger.

Dad was right after all.

We were stronger together.
