Episode #10

"Help Wanted - Firefly"



Episode Summary:
It's another lovely day in Tranquility Forest, and the Bugaloos are busy working on their own individual tasks. Sparky, however, doesn't appear to have anything to do. The Bugaloos let him help, but he manages to screw everything up. So, Sparky heads into town to try and get a "real" job. The Bugaloos sneak into town before him and set him up a job working at Kook Radio, with Peter Platter. Meanwhile, Benita Bizarre *still* can't seem to get any airplay, and is told by Peter Platter, "Get your own radio station!" Taking his advice, she proceeds to do just that, and patches herself in to the radio station itself. As the wires are swapped, the radio station goes kablooey, and all eyes point to Sparky. It's not until they hear Benita's voice on the air that the Bugaloos begin to figure it out.

Closing Song: "Castles in the Air"
    Castles
    Castles in the air
    Take a paper plane through the rain
    And you'll be floating free

    Through those
    Castles growing everywhere
    Won't you let your mind just unwind
    Go upstream toward a dream

    You can ride on
    A laugh you can glide on
    Behind every cloud is a star
    To light your way

    If you stumble
    Don't be scared to tumble
    Even when you're down on the ground
    Let a part of your heart reach for

    Castles
    Castles in the air
    Castles in the air
    Castles in the air
    Castles in the air
