Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.

Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.

As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese. Fast clips show them next to Greg playing and having fun in the tree fort. Greg is in his twenties, with short black hair. He wears a blue sweater.

The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS KISS YOUR TURTLE GOOD-BYE COME UP AND CLIMB WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY SO MUCH TO SEE SO MUCH TO DO IN OUR TREE FORT WE'VE GOT A SHOW FOR YOU THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW.

[Geese Cackling]

Laura says PASSWORD, PLEASE.

Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Book."

In animation, a dialogue bubble pops out of a map with the title of the show: "That TVO Kids Show.".

The song continues LA, LA, LA, DO, DO, DO, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH THAT TVOKIDS SHOW! THAT TVOkids SHOW.

Inside the tree fort, Lucas types into an old-fashioned typewriter. He's wearing a black T-shirt.

He says ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A TREE FORT IN A FOREST AND THERE WERE TWO... THIS ISN'T VERY GOOD.

Greg sits at a safe distance from him, holding a ukulele.

He says THAT'S OKAY. I LIKE THE START OF IT.

Lucas says YOU DO?

Greg says HOW ABOUT THIS? THERE'S AN ALIEN, OKAY, AND IT COMES DOWN TO EARTH.

Lucas says TO EARTH.

Greg says YEP, AND IT BEFRIENDS A BOY.

Lucas says BEFRIENDS... WAIT, GREG, THAT'S E.T. IT'S A MOVIE.

Greg says OH, RIGHT, RIGHT.

Lucas says IT'S A FAMOUS MOVIE.

Greg says OKAY, HOW ABOUT THIS? IT'S A HOLIDAY... IT'S CHRISTMAS. AND THERE'S A FAMILY, AND THE FAMILY GOES ON VACATION, BUT THEY LEAVE THE SON AT HOME ALL BY HIMSELF.

Lucas says YES! OH, HE MAKES BOOBY TRAPS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET IN.

Greg says YES, YES!

Lucas says THAT SOUNDS JUST LIKE "HOME ALONE." BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

Greg says TVOkids, LUCAS NEEDS SOME HELP WITH STORY WRITING. IF YOU WANT TO CALL IN AND TALK TO US ABOUT STORIES THAT YOU LIKE, WE'D GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT. HE NEEDS HELP. HE'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR THREE HOURS NOW.

[Frog horn]

Lucas says MAYBE THIS WILL HELP, INSPIRATION.

He takes the call and says TREE FORT, LUCAS THE AUTHOR SPEAKING, WHO'S CALLING?

A voice says HI, LUCAS. IT'S MATTHEW CALLING.

Lucas says MATTHEW, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE. WHAT'S THE PASSWORD FOR TODAY?

Matthew says THE PASSWORD FOR TODAY IS BOOK.

Lucas says IT'S BOOK. YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE IN THE SKY. HEY, HEY!

Matthew appears in the sky. He has short brown hair.

Greg says MATTHEW, WELCOME TO OUR TREE FORT. LISTEN, LUCAS NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF HELP WRITING STORIES TODAY.

Matthew says I CAN SEE THAT.

Greg says YEAH.

Lucas says HEY, COME ON.

Greg says I CAN TOO. DO YOU HAVE ANY STORIES THAT YOU LIKE? WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE?

A caption reads "Matthew. Age 9."

Lucas says FOR THAT YOU'RE GETTING A MUSTACHE.

As he holds up a prop mustache, he says YOU LOOK GREAT. WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE STORY, MATTHEW?

Matthew says I LIKE DOGMAN, "STAR WARS." AND CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS.

Greg says OKAY, DOG MAN, CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS. I HAVEN'T HEARD OF DOG MAN. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT'S ABOUT?

Matthew says DOG MAN IS A BOOK SERIES, AND IT'S ABOUT THIS DOG-HEADED COP, AND HE HAS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BUT HE DOESN'T DO IT ALONE.

Greg says OKAY.

Lucas says OH, DOGS.

Matthew says HE HAS ROBOT WHO IS PRETTY STRONG AND SURPRISINGLY A SMALL KITTEN.

Greg says OH.

Lucas says OKAY, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY GOOD STORY. WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES A GOOD STORY, MATTHEW?

Matthew says WELL, IT NEEDS ACTION. DEFINITELY NEEDS THAT.

Lucas says ACTION. OKAY. WHAT ELSE? SOME COMEDY, FUNNY JOKES?

Matthew says YEAH, DEFINITELY NEEDS JOKES, FOR SURE.

Greg says OKAY. ACTION AND COMEDY. YOU CAN DO THAT, LUCAS.

Lucas says I CAN DO IT! IF I HAD ANY IDEAS, I COULD DO IT A BIT BETTER. THAT'S GOOD. IT'S A GOOD START. I APPRECIATE THE HELP.

Greg says YEAH, AND I LOVE THAT THIS STORY HAS A DOG-HEADED COP AND THAT IT'S A WHOLE SERIES. MAYBE YOU CAN JUST WRITE A WHOLE SERIES, LUCAS, AS WELL.

Lucas says WRITING A SERIES IS A LITTLE AMBITIOUS RIGHT NOW. WE'LL START WITH SMALL STEPS.

Greg says MATTHEW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT HELP. I THINK LUCAS REALLY APPRECIATES IT, AND WE APPRECIATE YOU, SO WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME CUTE VIDEOS AND YOU CAN TELL US WHICH ONE GOES ON TO TOMORROW. SOUNDS GOOD?

Matthew says SOUNDS GOOD.

Greg says ALL RIGHT, HERE IS OUR CHAMPION.

Lucas says ALL RIGHTY.

A voice says CHAMPION!

A short clip shows two tiny kittens playing with chess pieces on a chessboard.

Greg says CHECK THIS OUT. IT WAS BOARD GAME DAY YESTERDAY, MATTHEW, SO THESE KITTENS ARE PLAYING CHESS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?

Matthew says I GIVE IT... I GIVE IT A NINE OUT OF TEN.

Lucas says OKAY.

Greg says WOW, GOOD...

Lucas says I GOT TO BE HONEST. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE CHEATING A LITTLE BIT. THEY ARE SWITCHING SIDES.

Greg says THAT'S TRUE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY VERY MUCH.

Lucas says THAT'S TRUE. BUT IT'S A HARD GAME. NINE OUT OF TEN FOR THE KITTEN, HARD TO BEAT, BUT CHECK THIS OUT, NEVER BEFORE SEEN ON TVOkids, THE CHALLENGER.

A voice says CHALLENGER!

A short clip shows a cat wearing sunglasses as it sits next to an open book.

Greg says IT IS STORY WRITING DAY, SO WE'VE GOT A CAT, AND IT'S READING A BOOK.

Lucas says OH, MAN.

Matthew says A TEN OUT OF TEN. DEFINITELY A TEN OUT OF TEN.

Greg says NO HESITATION, TEN OUT OF TEN FOR MATTHEW, WHICH MEANS THAT THE KITTEN PLAYING CHESS IS OUT AND BOOK READING CAT IS IN.

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT. ANY LAST WORDS FOR US, MATTHEW, WHILE WE TRY TO ATTEMPT TO WRITE A STORY?

Matthew says HMM... HAVE A GOOD ENDING. TRY TO MAKE IT HAVE A GOOD ENDING.

Lucas says A GOOD PART.

Greg says GOOD ENDING.

Lucas says LOVE IT.

Greg says MATTHEW, THANKS SO MUCH. WE'LL CATCH YOU NEXT TIME.

Matthew says OKAY, BYE.

Lucas says BYE!

Greg says LUCAS, WE JUST SAW A BUNCH OF CUTE ANIMALS. I'VE GOT SOME INSPIRATION GOING. SO THERE WERE ANIMALS.

Lucas says I FEEL LIKE THERE'S ANIMALS.

Greg says YEAH.

Lucas says THERE'S LIKE A ZOO. MAYBE A ZOO.

Greg says ANIMALS IN THE ZOO, BUT THEY WANT TO BE OUT OF THE ZOO, SO THEY ESCAPE.

Lucas says THEY ESCAPE FROM THE ZOO AND WANT TO GO BACK TO THE WILD, AND THAT'S JUST LIKE THE MOVIE MADAGASCAR.

Greg says I FELT LIKE WE HAD SOMETHING GOOD GOING ON THERE. BACK TO SQUARE ONE. HOW ABOUT THIS, WHY DON'T WE TALK TO AN AUTHOR.

Lucas says YOU KNOW AN AUTHOR?

Greg says YOU BET I DO, LUCAS. YOU GOT SOMETHING TO KNOW, I'VE GOT INFORMATION FOR YOU, AND SO DOES THIS AUTHOR, WHICH MEANS IT'S TIME FOR...

In animation, a megaphone appears as a voice says "WE NEED TO KNOW"!

As the tree fort shakes, Lucas says AAAAH! WATCH THE TYPEWRITER.

Greg says YES, LUCAS, MY FRIEND NICOLE CREAMY IS THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR OF THE NEW KIDS HIT BOOK CALLED "PATTY AND THE PANDEMIC," AND SHE IS HERE IN THE SKY WITH US. SO WELCOME.

Lucas says PATTY!

Nicole appears in the sky. She has long brown hair.

She says HELLO.

A caption reads "Nicole. Author."

Lucas says IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU. WE'RE HAVING A GREAT DAY, BUT WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF WRITERS BLOCK, SO WE'RE HOPING YOU CAN INSPIRE US A LITTLE BIT.

Nicole says I SEE, I SEE. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

Lucas says WELL, FIRST OF ALL WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR BOOK, PATTY AND THE PANDEMIC. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE THIS BOOK, OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS?

A picture shows the book "Patty and the Pandemic." The cover is yellow and features a picture of a redhead girl wearing a mask who holds the whole world up.

Nicole says WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A PANDEMIC GOING ON, AND I AM A MEDICAL STUDENT, SO I LOVE LEARNING ABOUT MEDICINE AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO KEEP OURSELVES AND THE PEOPLE WE LOVE SAFE. AND I THOUGHT THAT A CHILDREN'S BOOK WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO SHOW EVERYBODY ELSE HOW THEY COULD DO THE SAME THING. SO I WANTED TO MAKE THIS BOOK REALLY FUN, REALLY EXCITING AND SHOW EVERYBODY THAT WE CAN BE OUR OWN SUPERHEROES DURING ALL OF THIS.

Greg says AND YOU ARE A SUPERHERO. NOT ONLY ARE YOU A MED STUDENT, YOU WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY TO MAKE A BOOK FOR KIDS.

Lucas says I KNOW!

Greg says SO DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR ASPIRING AUTHORS?

Nicole says I WOULD SAY THAT IF YOU WANT TO WRITE A BOOK, DON'T LET ANYTHING GET IN THE WAY OF IT. THINK OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU THINK IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO WRITE ABOUT, AND ONCE YOU DO, TAKE DOWN SOME NOTES, DRAW SOME PICTURES, GET SOME OPINIONS, AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, AND WRITING A BOOK SHOULD BE A REALLY FUN AND ENJOYABLE PROCESS.

Lucas says HEY, I LOVE THAT, BECAUSE I HONESTLY FORGET TO HAVE FUN WITH THINGS THAT ARE CREATIVE, SO THAT'S A GOOD REMINDER. ALSO I'M HEARING IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE YOU WANT TO GET ACROSS. NICOLE, WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE DID YOU WANT TO GET ACROSS WHEN YOU WERE WRITING PATTY AND THE PANDEMIC?

Nicole says DEFINITELY. SO THE MESSAGE I WANTED TO GET ACROSS WHEN WRITING PATTY AND THE PANDEMIC IS OBVIOUSLY THE MAIN THINGS WE WANT TO BE DOING TO KEEP SAFE, BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT IN KEEPING OURSELVES SAFE AND THE PEOPLE WE LOVE SAFE WE'RE ALSO HELPING ALL OF THE DOCTORS AND NURSES THAT ARE WORKING SO HARD TO KEEP US SAFE BY GIVING THEM MORE TIME TO DO THEIR JOBS TOO, AND THAT AFTER ALL OF THIS THERE'S GOING TO BE A POSITIVE ENDING, AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY GREAT. IT'S JUST LIKE THE POSITIVE ENDING AT THE END OF ALL THESE STORIES.

Greg says THAT'S SUCH A GREAT MESSAGE, NICOLE, AND THANK YOU FOR SPREADING IT AND SHARING IT WITH THE TVOkids. TVOkids, MAKE SURE YOU GO CHECK OUT NICOLE'S BOOK.

Lucas says YEAH, CHECK OUT THE ILLUSTRATIONS, BECAUSE YOU WROTE THOSE AS WELL, RIGHT?

Nicole says YEAH, I DID. I DREW ALL OF IT MYSELF AND I CREATED PATTY JUST FROM MY IMAGINATION.

Greg says OKAY, SO TVOkids, US THREE, WE'RE GOING TO GET STARTED WORKING ON LUCAS'S BOOK, BUT IN THE MEANTIME CHECK OUT WHAT SOME OTHER TVOkids HAVE TO SAY.

A clip plays.

Laura says TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE STUFFY.

In a montage of short clips, several kids speak.

A girl says ONE OF THEM IS NAMED SHARKY. MY FAVOURITE GREAT WHITE SHARK STUFFY.

A boy says A SHARK PROBABLY THE SIZE OF THIS TABLE. PROBABLY THIS LONG. I LIFT IT.

A boy says IT'S A BIG T REX. IF MY T REX COULD TALK, IT WOULD SAY RAWR.

A boy says IT IS AN OUTLINE, AND HE IS ROUND.

A boy says IT IS AN OWL, AND HE IS ROUND.

A boy says A MONKEY.

A boy says IT'S A CAT.

A boy says A DOG.

A boy says A STUFFY DOG.

A boy says IT'S NOT EXACTLY CURRENTLY A STUFFY. A STRESS BALL IS PRETTY EPIC.

A girl says I NAMED HER AVA.

A boy says I JUST CALL IT T REX.

A boy says GERALD.

A boy says CAR KITTY.

A girl says I GOT A BUILD A BEAR FROM LITTLE MONKEYS AND I LIKE IT BECAUSE I GOT IT ON MY BIRTHDAY.

A boy says BECAUSE HE IS SOFT.

A boy says EVER SINCE I WAS A BABY I'VE HAD IT, AND I ALWAYS TAKE IT WHEREVER I GO.

The clip ends.

Greg says STUFFIES.

Lucas says STUFFIES.

Greg says TOYS, OKAY, SO THERE ARE TOYS. AND WHENEVER THE KID LEAVES THE BEDROOM, THE TOYS COME TO LIFE AND MAYBE THERE'S, LIKE, A COWBOY TOY AND LIKE A SPACEMAN TOY. MAYBE A... THERE'S A SLINKY DOG TOY, AND THEN THERE'S A...

Lucas says AND THEY SAVE ALL THE OTHER TOYS AT THE GARAGE SALE?

Greg says YES, YES, THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

Lucas says THAT'S TOY STORY.

Greg says AND THERE'S ALREADY FOUR OF THOSE, AREN'T THERE, SO WE CAN'T WRITE ANOTHER ONE.

Lucas says I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD.

Greg says OH, DARN. ALL RIGHT, HOW ABOUT THIS? WHY DON'T I ACT OUT A STORY THAT A TVOkid SENT US.

Lucas says THIS IS ALWAYS REALLY FUN WHEN WE DO THIS ON THE SHOW. TVOkids, YOU SEND US AWESOME STORIES, AND WE HAVE A STORY FROM LOLA FROM TORONTO. WE SHOULD SHARE IT AND IT MIGHT GET OUR CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING.

Greg says I'M GOING TO ACT IT OUT. MY THEATRE DEGREE IS GOING TO BECOME USEFUL.

Lucas says LOLA WHO LIVES IN TORONTO: ONE DAY GREG WAS WALKING THROUGH THE FOREST WHEN HE MET A COLESLAW BOWL TRYING TO EAT HIM.

Greg walks in a cartoon forest and holds a blue bowl against his face.

He says AAAAH!

Lucas says DANGEROUS COLESLAW. HE RAN AWAY AND ENDED UP IN THE BEACH WHERE HE SAW A MAC AND CHEESE BOWL TRYING TO EAT HIM.

Greg walks in a cartoon beach and holds a yellow bowl against his face.

He says AAAAAH!

Lucas says AND THEN HE SAW WHAT THE THINGS HAD IN COMMON. THEY WERE BOTH FOOD FROM HE DIDN'T FINISH FROM SUPPER THE NIGHT BEFORE.

Greg says OKAY, OKAY.

Lucas says HMM. GETTING GOOD. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND FINALLY DECIDED TO GO TO THE CAFE WHERE HE WAS ABLE TO EAT THEM.

In animation, Greg stands in a cafeteria and pretends to eat from both bowls.

(MAKING FAST EATING SOUNDS)

Lucas says THE END.

[Applause]

Greg says THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Lucas says THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, GREG, AND THANKS, LOLA, FOR SENDING THAT IN. THAT WAS REALLY INSPIRING. I THINK THAT MAYBE I DO REALLY HAVE SOME IDEAS THAT ARE STARTING TO COME TO MIND.

Greg says GREAT. THAT'S AWESOME. REALLY GOOD.

Lucas says I KNOW. HOW'S YOUR COLESLAW?

Greg says IT'S GOOD. IT'S IMAGINARY, THOUGH.

Lucas says OKAY, WELL, GOOD IMAGINING. I BELIEVED YOU.

Greg says THANKS SO MUCH. WELL, LET'S CHECK IN WITH I CAN FOR RIGHT NOW.

Lucas says LET'S DO IT.

An animated slate shows a sun rising as a voice says I CAN.

A blond girl with pigtails and bangs sits inside a room.

A caption reads "Layla."

Layla says HI, I'M SIX YEARS OLD.

A voice says WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?

Layla says I LIKE COLOURING. I LIKE TO DRESS UP AS A PRINCESS AND PLAY LEGO. I LIKE WRITING THE LETTER "A."

A voice says WAS IT HARD TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE?

Layla says SOMETIMES I JUST COULDN'T GET THE WORDS RIGHT AND I DIDN'T WRITE AS NEAT AS I COULD.

A voice says SO WHAT DID YOU DO?

Layla says MY MOM HELPED ME TO TRACE THE LETTER.

A clip shows Layla's mom helping her with homework. Then, Layla stands next to a chart with the alphabet on it.

She says THIS IS MY CURIOUS GEORGE ABC CHART. I USE IT TO HELP ME WRITE MY LETTERS. I WILL JUST GO AND LOOK AT MY ABC CHART AND SEE WHICH LETTER IT IS.

A voice says HOW DID LEARNING TO WRITE MAKE YOU FEEL?

Layla says THE BEST PART WAS HOW PROUD I FEEL WHEN I WRITE SOMETHING AND I WRITE IT THE PROPER WAY. IT'S JUST, LIKE, A BEAUTIFUL LINE OF, LIKE, LETTERS. I CAN AND YOU CAN TOO.

The clip ends.

As he types furiously, Lucas says THEN HE SAW A BIG DINOSAUR, AND THE DINOSAUR WAS SPEAKING IN A DINOSAUR LANGUAGE THAT HE HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. OKAY.

Greg says WOW, LUCAS, SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING REALLY WELL.

Lucas says I CAN'T TALK, GREG. I'M RIGHT IN THE ZONE. CREATIVE JUICES ARE FLOWING. I'VE GOT A GREAT STORY GOING. DON'T MIND ME, I'M GOING TO KEEP GOING.

Greg says TVOkids, LUCAS SEEMS TO BE DOING SUPER-WELL, THANKS TO YOU AND TO NICOLE. THANKS FOR A GREAT AND PRODUCTIVE STORY WRITING DAY. MATTHEW SAID THE STORY NEEDS TO HAVE ACTION AND COMEDY, AND NICOLE WAS SAYING TO GO WITH YOUR PASSION, AND IF YOU HAVE A MESSAGE YOU WANT TO DELIVER, GO AHEAD AND DO IT. AND SOUNDS LIKE... AND ALSO HAVE FUN, AND IT LOOKS LIKE LUCAS IS HAVING A LOT AND A TON OF FUN! BUT THAT CONCLUDES OUR DAY, TVOkids, SO IT'S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE, BUT BEFORE WE DO, TVOkids, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN WITH US, MAKE SURE THAT YOU CALL IN, AS ALWAYS, IT'S 1-888-886-5437.

He plays a ukulele and sings
SO LONG SEE YA LATER I BET TOMORROW WILL EVEN BE GREATER BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO YOU...

Lucas says ADHESIVE IN A TUBE...

Greg sings IS THE PASSWORD FOR TOMORROW BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO YOU...

Greg says I'M GREG. EAT YOUR VEGETABLES.

Lucas says I'M LUCAS. THE END!

[Applause]

Music plays as a slate shows the end credits.
