"Ah, heaven," "God's wondrous creation," "His perfect domain." "Could there ever be a place more... well, heavenly?" "Nothing in creation compares to heaven with its streets of gold, its perfect location in the universe, its perfect weather." "And every day every resident, from the angels and cherubs to the seraphim and archangels-- in fact, all the celestial beings including the angemals-- yes, to answer the age old question, there are indeed animals in heaven" "all do their best to keep heaven the perfectly perfect place" "God created it to be." "Hmph, gotcha." " Whoa!" " Whoa." "Whoa!" "Watch where you're going, miniwings!" "Yes well, except for one little fellow." "And we'll get to him in a moment." "Among all the heavenly beings, the little angels are the ones who must work the hardest on perfection." "They must learn to keep their heavenly clothes perfectly clean." "They must be certain their halos sparkle like sunlight." "And they must practice practice practice to become the most angelic beings they can be so they may one day help all of humanity." "Welcome to Angel Academy, where angels train and every day feels like Sunday." "Whoa!" "Good morning, my little cherubs, and welcome to another perfect day at Angel Academy." "Step right up to the wingding." "Let's see how many of God's lessons you've learned and how much your wings have grown." " Me me me!" " Sarah." "Excellent." "5cms growth since last time." "Keep up the good work in cloud-fluffing class, Sarah." "You'll be flying back and forth to earth doing the good Lord's work in no time." "Excellent." "Off you go." "Flight training class for you, Joshua." "Ow!" "After-school tutoring might be in order for Joshua." "Hurry hurry, but remember, it's not angelic to push." "I see you there, Mary." "Don't daily now." "Mustn't be late for good deed class." "Ah, another day of perfect attendance." "Yes, all's right in heaven and earth this glorious mor-- there's one angel missing." "Poor angel Alban." "Oh!" "Heaven knows he tries to teach all his young charges everything there is to know about being God's perfect angels." "But it seems there is one little angel-- no matter how hard Alban tries, he's never able to make this one shape up and fly right." "I'm speaking of heaven's littlest angel." "I see you, big guy." "You won't get away this time." "Gotcha." "Whoa!" " Yikes!" " Oh my!" "What in heaven's name?" "Watch out!" "Aha!" "There you are, you little-- little-- little angel, you." "Headmaster." "You missed the morning school bell again." "Let go of that rope this instant." "Yes, Headmaster." "I'm-- whoa!" " Littlest?" " Whoa!"

""Heavenly Streets of Gold" public service announcement take 93." "And action." "Heavenly residents, in order to make heaven a more peaceful place we kindly ask thee to honor thy curfew, keep the peace and never speak in other than the most dulcet tones." " Oof!" " Cut cut cut cut!" "Can't you see we're filming here?" "Alban?" " Alban, it's me Logan." " Logan?" "Angel Academy's number one draft pick into the archangels." " Don't you remember-- - l hate to break up your little training school reunion but we're trying to film here!" "L-L" " Logan!" "Yes, of course I remember." "Didn't you hold the school's speed cloud jumping record?" "You remembered!" "Logan, I need your help." " l've got a truant angel on the run." " Come on." "We'll take Brimstone." "You walk off this shoot and there'll be heck to pay, Logan!" "God" "Sorry." "The H-word, I know." "Logan, there he is." "Oh no, the Four Horses of the Apocalypse are coming down the home stretch having their workout." " Whoa!" " Keep practicing, boys." "Your day will come." "That does it!" "Your wings are clipped and you're grounded." " But I was only trying to catch" " Trust me, little guy, you don't want to "but" him when he's in this kind of mood." "five demerits." "seven demerits." " But I saw a dog" " Oh, don't be absurd." "There are no dogs in Celestial City." "Everyone knows all the animals except the beasts of burden choose to live out in the heavenly countryside." "10 demerits." " But I swear I saw him." " Ah ah ah!" "15 demerits." "Kid, quit while you're ahead." "But I saw a dog, Logan." "I used to have one of my own." "I know what they look and sound like." "Yeah well, see, this is heaven, little guy." "Take a gander-- beautiful and big enough for all the animals to have their own space to live wild and free." "No masters telling them what to do up here, so the animals all stick to their side of heaven." "Exactly." "So you're going to have to come up with a better excuse than "l was chasing a doggy.""

"And so the littlest angel went off to his judgment at the hands of the angel of peace." "He knew things weren't going well for him in heaven and he wondered what they'd do to a little angel who just wasn't happy in the grandest place in all the universe." "Littlest." "Littlest." "Littlest?" "Littlest." "So you're the one who's been making heaven so unheavenly." "Um, I guess so." "Why don't you tell me all about it?" "And suddenly before he knew it, he was explaining how very difficult it was for a boy who suddenly finds himself transformed into an angel." "And no matter what Alban had told her, he'd only swung once." "Well, twice." "Oh, all right." "Then he'd swung three times on the pearly gates." "That was only for something to do." "But heaven is full of wonderful things to do and see" " and be." " lt's not that heaven isn't beautiful." " But earth was really great." " indeed." "What did you like so much?" "Well, you know it was created by God himself and there were trees to climb and brooks to fish and caves to play hide 'n' seek, the swimming hole and sun and rain and dark and dawn" "and the thick mud that squished between your toes." "And here, even though I try to do angel stuff, I miss things the way they were on earth." "I'm going to show you all heaven has to offer once you've earned your full-grown angel wings." "Yeah well, how come mine never seem to grow?" "Simple, you haven't completed your good deeds class at the academy." "You mean if I do that, I'll grow big wings like yours and Logan's?" "Not quite." "For you see, Littlest, everything you've been learning so far makes it easier for you to be a good angel." "Next you'll be required to master minor miracles in good deeds class." "When you've done that, then you'll be required to travel to earth and perform three honest-to-goodness unselfish good deeds and earn your angel wings." "But for now, I think you'll find this area of heaven has a little bit more of what's been making you so homesick." "Wow!" "Look what I can do!" "But a million boys can do that." "Look what an angel can do, Littlest." "Awesome!" "You see, Littlest, there are lots of fun benefits to being an angel." "You mean I can do that too?" "How?" "Show me, Angel Eve." " Please!" " As with everything in life and here in the hereafter, practice makes perfect." "You do already have the angel power." "Try it." "Ah, it's getting away!" "How do I make it come back to me?" "With practice, Littlest." "Just practice." "Wow!" "Angemals." "Angel Eve, look!" "There's the dog." "That's him." "He still has my rope belt around his neck." "Wow!" "Did you see that?" " He caught my halo." " A halo for Halo." " What do you mean?" " He caught your halo and his name happens to be Halo too." " You know him?" " Halo!" "Please bring Littlest his halo." "Hi, Halo." "Can I keep him?" "Please, Angel Eve?" "Can I bring him back to Celestial City with me?" "Can I?" "Can I, please?" "It's a little different here in heaven." "Here we don't keep pets." "All the animals live free." "They have a beautiful part of heaven all to themselves right here in angemal countryside." "But you can come visit this place and so many other wondrous lands all over heaven once you've completed your angel training at the academy." "Now it's time we get back." "Bye, Halo." "Bye!" " What's wrong, Littlest?" " Nothing." "is there anything other than the dog you'd like to have?" "This is heaven, after all." "There's a box I left hidden in a secret spot back home." "It's filled with treasures I've collected and it reminds me of home." "I know if I only had them I wouldn't miss earth so much." "Yes well, I'm not sure that's what you should be thinking about right now." "Not when there is so much you still need to accomplish." "Go to class and work hard, my littlest angel." "I'm telling you, Logan, the littlest angel must be taught a lesson." "No more Mr. Nice Angel from me." "I've been far too lenient." "When he comes back I'm going to teach that little insubordinate that what Alban says goes at Angel Academy." "And so he thought and thought." "Hmm, maybe there's a way I can get my box and fly the highest in flight training class." "And finally he concocted a devilish little plan to get back to earth and find his beloved treasure box-- and get in a little flying practice." "I'll never be able to fly all the way to earth to get my box with these puny wings." "Whoa!" "Wahoo!" "Look at me." "I'm flying." "Whoa!" "Uh-oh." "Whoa whoa!" "Looks like we got a little failure to fly." "I got him." "Whoa!" "I haven't seen an angel land that hard since Lucifer got kicked out of heaven." "You can talk?" "!" "Of course I can talk." "This is heaven." "So where are you heading with the faux feathers, little guy?" "I'm trying to get to earth, but I'm not quite sure how to get out of heaven." "Funny, most everyone we know wants to get into heaven." " You can talk too?" " Well, me too." "It's heaven, you know?" "And us too!" "Yeah yeah, but back to you, flyboy." "Just a wild guess, but something tells me you haven't graduated good deed class to earn your full wings." "Not exactly, but I'm gonna start trying real hard." "Do you know which way angels go when they-- you know," " go to earth?" " Oh sure." "But I also know they've got heavenly reasons they bop back and forth between heaven and earth." "Doing God's work." "What happens if an angel has a really good reason to go to earth, but hasn't quite done his three good deeds yet?" "Uh, hmm." "Well, to tell you the truth, no idea." "Hey, any of youse know what happens?" "Nope, but I'm sure it's a really-- really bad idea." "Why are you so anxious to get down there anyway?" "I have to get back my special box." "It's filled with all my earthly treasures." "Oh, a treasure box, huh?" "Yes, and once I've got it, I know I'll be happy here in heaven." "And I'll be able to try real hard at Angel Academy." "And I'll do my three good deeds and I'll earn my wings." "Easy easy." "Sheesh." "A type-A angel if ever there was one." "I get it." "The box is real important to you." "And if I had it, I know I could learn to shake up and fly right." "I believe that's "shape up and fly right."" "Really really bad idea." "Listen, kid, I may happen to know a particular cloud where all the earthbound angels, you know, come and go from." "Great!" "Where is it?" " You've got to show me." " Up in your neck of the clouds." "You know, Celestial City?" "I've watched them lots of times." "But I thought angemals didn't like to go there." "Some of us make the rounds." "Like today, when you almost noogified me with that rope." " Sorry about that." " Fuggedaboutit." "Bygones and all that other good stuff." "All right, now here's what we'll do." "See we've gotta get together on this thing..." "And so Halo and the littlest angel became friends-- fast." " lt's going to be a wonderful day." " Oh, a beautiful day." "Well, this is it." "Last chance to change your mind." "The world looks awfully big from up here, Halo." "How will I find my house?" "Huh." "You know, I think I've heard all you do is use your angel vision." "Angel vision?" "What's that?" "To travel to earth using angel vision, you close your eyes, picture your exact landing zone and jump." "Okay, I see my house just the way it used to be." "Good." "Now just hold your nose and jump." "Any chance you'd jump first?" "Come on in, kid." "The air is fi-iiiine!" " We did it, Halo!" " Yep, we pulled off a heaven break." "Hey, are you sure we're in the right spot?" "My angel vision worked, Halo." "That's my village over there." "Come on, let's fly like the wind." "Whoa whoa whoa, take it easy, pal." "Remember, you're still a novice flapper." "Don't worry, I'm-- whoa!" "totally out of control." "Help, Halo!" "I knew I should have been a bird dog." "Hurry, Halo, hurry!" "Just relax. I got-- whoa!" " My halo!" " What?" "Not you, my angel halo." "Easy does it now." "Whew." "That was-- oh no!" "Your wings." "Halo, mine are gone too." "What's happening?" "Aw, don't worry." "That always happens when an angel's feet-- or paws-- touch earth." "But what are we going to do without our wings?" "How are we gonna get back up to heaven if we can't fly?" "Ah, ye of little faith." "Watch and learn." "All you gotta do is focus real hard-- angel vision, remember?" "And" "Uh-oh." "Hmm, maybe a little less face scrunching." "Attaboy!" "But now make 'em disappear again." " How come?" " You don't think we're allowed to run around earth looking like something that jumped off a stained-glass window, do you?" " l get your point." " And we don't want to break any rules that could get us locked out of the pearly gates." "Okay, wings away." " Uh-oh, halo." " What?" "Not you, that halo." "Angel Eve showed me how to do this." "Oh, sweet trick." "But that shiny O over your head is another dead giveaway you ain't from around here, kid." "Better find someplace really safe to hide it." "I know the perfect place!" "I'll hide my halo on my Halo." "Huh?" "Now it just looks like your dog collar." "Okay, time to go play fetch the treasure box." "So which way?" "I kinda got turned around when we were landing." "Well, crashing." "But I'm pretty sure it's just over the next hill." "And so the littlest angel and his new friend set out to find his home, see the places he used to play and retrieve the missing treasure box." "But they would soon remember that heaven and earth are two very different sorts of places." "It wasn't over the next hill or next or the next after that either." "I never thought I'd say it, but I sure miss my angel wings." "I don't see why it would hurt to fly up and see where my village is." "Nope." "Huh-uh." "Rotten idea." "What if some human saw you?" "How are you gonna explain a boy with wings?" "I guess you're right." "Of course I'm right." "Come on." "Don't know if it's your village, but my super sniffer's" " picking up people scents." " Which way?" "Just over the next hill." "We'll just go up to the house and ask directions to my village." "I might as well ask them if they can spare an old bone too." "Wait, a talking dog on earth might seem kind of strange." "You'd betterjust stick to growls and barks when people are around." "Gee, I kinda got used to speaking my mind." "I hope I can remember how to act like a regular old dog." "Maybe it'd be better to ask the barnyard animals instead." "Let me think here." "They won't understand me." "Earth animals can't talk like angel animals can." "No sweat. I still remember how to talk turkey, and lots of other critters' tongues too." "I'll just ask this goose and cow which way." "That cow sure sounds mad." "Maybe because he's a bull." " What are they saying?" " Loosely translated:" "No trespassing." "Get lost." "Run!" "I think we lost 'em." "Good, but you forgot to tell them." "Run!" "Come on, no way bulls can climb trees." "Uh, neither can dogs." "Hey, there aren't any humans around." "Why can't we use our-- wings!" "Halo, look out!" "Guess it serves him right for being so mean." "But I kinda feel sorry for him." "I guess we should try and get him free." "I was afraid you were gonna say that." "Okay, one, two, three, pull!" "Come on." "We're crunchy kibble now." "Oh, prepare to be noogified." "Huh?" " What did they say?" " The village is-- right over the next hill." "It's already night and kind of dark out." "Maybe we should wait till morning." "Yeah good, 'cause I'm dog-tired." "It's weird looking up at heaven." "Huh?" "Hmmm." "I wonder if anybody even noticed we're gone." "When I get my hands on that little angel, I'll" "Wait, what's that?" "Could this be him?" "Hear ye, hear ye!" "God has decreed the most glorious event for all the citizens of earth." "He has requested all angels in his firmament to prepare the most wonderful celebration of all time." "Bring your most splendid gifts." "What?" "What is the celebration for?" "You know God will announce His plan in His own time." "But I got word that it'll be soon." "In the meantime, prepare your gifts!" "Prepare for the greatest celebration heaven and earth have ever known." "Oh ho, of all the days." "Logan!" "Logan... please, get your big sandals off my desk." "This is insufferable, intolerable, inexcusable, in-- in-  in" " Uh, inviting?" " lnterns?" "Investments?" " What are you rambling about?" "I thought we were trying to think of words starting with "in."" "Didn't you hear the messenger angel who just blew in here?" "Sorry, I was listening to "Hey Hey, Get Off of my Cloud."" "God has just announced the biggest, most exciting event" "He's ever planned for earth." "And heaven needs to start preparations." "I love celebrations!" "I hope we get to wear party hats and blow those funny whistles" " that shoot out" " Ahem!" "We need to find that missing little angel and get him back here to the academy." "Everything must be absolutely perfect for God's big day." "Don't worry." "The little tyke has to be around heaven someplace." "Where else could he go?" "Well, if I bore you that much, I'll just be on my way then." "Guess we can look for the littlest guy first thing in the morning." "Hmph!" "Come on, Halo." "Just one more hill and we're there." "I'll believe that when I see it." "I can hardly wait to see my house again and get my box." " Uh-oh." " Yeehaw!" "What was that all about?" "They just wanted to say thanks for the good deed" " and warn us to be careful." " Of what?" " A guard goose and a bull?" " l don't know." "It didn't make much sense to me." "Some cruel creep that uses critters for show?" "Whatever the heck that means." "Step right up." "Step right up, ladies and gentlemen." "See the one and only two-headed snake and the amazing talking chicken." "I didn't hear no chicken talking." "Just drop in your coins then the chicken will thank you personally." "Brok!" "Bok bok!" "Look at me, I'm a talking chicken." "Brok!" "Bok bok bok bok!" "Aw, it's a big fake." "The chicken's lips aren't even moving." "Hey, we've been gypped." "Give us our money back!" "I didn't hear any chicken talk." "Yeah, you just weren't watching carefully." "Move your lips, chicken." "Flap your blasted beak, bird!" "What?" "Stop, wait, come back!" "It's all part of the show." "What were you thinking, woman?" "Oh, don't tell me you swallowed the fake snake head again." "Don't you know we need it for the show?" "I warned you, Creepedeep." "No one is going to fall for that phony two-headed snake or your pathetic ventriloquist act." "Mind your own business, muscle-head." "This traveling show is my business." "And I'm warning you, unless you come up with a real attraction, you two are out of here." "Heh heh heh heh." "He'll see." "One of these days I'm going to find the greatest attraction of all time!" "What if the people that live here now already found your special box?" "No way!" "I kept it hidden underneath a loose floorboard in my bedroom." " l'll just slip inside and" " Whoa there, little pup." "Even though your wings aren't showing, you're still an angel." "So breaking into houses is a "no can do."" "What's going on?" "Looks like your other halo agrees with me." "Yep, no doubt about it." "But we're not really breaking in." "See, the window's wide open." "Plus it's not like I'm stealing since the box is really mine." " Guess that means it's all right." " Good." "Then I'll just look inside and make sure no one's there." "Whoa!" " Are you okay?" " l'm fine." "Come on." "I got a bad feeling about this, but a friend looks out for a friend." "I thought you said nobody was here." "Eh, it's just a little cat." "Don't you know most earth cats and dogs-  like to fight like cats and dogs?" "Shh, we don't want anybody hearing us." "Ahhh!" "Someone's in my house!" "Help!" "I got it." "We'll never make it this way." "Then we'll have to go out the front before" " Gotcha!" " What do we do now?" "What earth dogs do best-- chase cats." "Come here, kitty." "Why you" "So sorry." "Stop!" "In the name of the law." "Oh, who am I kidding?" "I'll never catch them." "This is your last chance." "Confess or else!" " Or else what?" " Good question." "Argh, would you just tell me where the littlest angel is?" " We can't." " Then I'll just have to make you talk." "Ahh, what are you doing?" "I am, after all, still a hero." "So I can't let you frighten the poor little creatures, even if they are just dumb animals." "Look who's calling us dumb." "Now promise you won't hurt the nice critters." "Fine." "Just put me down." "Okay." "Well, if you refuse to tell me where the littlest angel is, at least give him a message for me." "How can we when he's so far" "Aha!" "I knew it." "You do know where he is." "Kinda, but don't blame us since it's mostly your fault that he's gone." "My fault?" "That's right, Alban." "Maybe if you'd been nicer to the little fella, he would have felt like he fit in up here." "Then he wouldn't have been so sad that he missed his home, his box and his earthly memories." "Have you ever heard such nonsen" "Poor little Littlest." "I don't care about some silly box!" "Just tell me where the boy went." "That's what we're trying to do." "You wanna hear the story or not?" "Oooh, I love a good tale." "I want to hear the whole story from the very beginning." "Please!" "So he went to earth..." "So the mule told the angels everything he and the ox had seen." "And miracle of miracles, what do you know?" "It even seemed to have a softening effect on Angel Alban." "...and that's the whole sad story." "Ahem, yes well, perhaps I have been a tiny touch too strict with" "Saints preserve us, at last I've found you." "Half of heaven has been searching for you, Angel Alban." "Really?" "I had no idea I was so popular." "God's announced what the big celebration is" " and you weren't there." " What?" "What is it?" "I can't wait." "And I hope it involves party hats!" "God's only son is going to be born on earth to help spread peace to all mankind." "Hats!" "I knew it." "It's a birthday." "And birthdays always mean party hats." "You're supposed to be over at the Great Hall helping the decorating committee." "Oh!" "And every one of the angels in your academy are supposed to prepare a special gift for the baby Jesus!" "Y-yes-- no!" "Oh, I'm ruined!" "I may even lose my wings." "Oh, this is all his fault." "Where on earth could he be?" "I don't know." "It's a pretty big place." "Oh, don't be silly." "It's just an expression." "I mean, he couldn't have actually jumped cloud and" "Ridiculous to even consider." "Absolutely impossible-  l pray." "I think we lost him." "Now I don't want to say I'm an ace problem solver, but if good old King Solomon ever needed advice, I'm definitely the dog to call." "Look out below-oooh!" "Watch it!" "You almost-- my treasures!" "Did someone say treasure?" " Mine!" " Thanks for catching my box, mister." "I don't know what you're talking about." "This is my box." "Take a hike, kid." "That's my box and I can prove it." "I said scram!" "And take that mangy mutt with you." "What's going on here, Creepedeep?" "This kid and his vicious dog tried to steal my box." "And I'm sure they snuck in without buying a ticket." "is that true?" "You got a ticket?" " No, but that's my box!" " Hit the road or I'll have to call the guard." "Guard!" "Guard!" "Guard?" "But it's not fair." "He stole my box." "I know, but nothing we can do about it right now." "Blast it!" "There's no treasure here." "No gold, no gems, just a bunch of bric-a-brac." "Well, that's what you get for stealing from a poor little child." "Oh, like you'd care a rat's backside about the kid if there turned out to be real treasure." "Hmph, like you could ever find a real treasure or a real attraction for that matter." "Ehh." "It just so happens I'm onto something really big." "It's going to make me rich as a king." "If I had a coin for every time I heard that, I would be rich." "Oh yeah?" "Well, you just wait and see." "Those two give me an itch." "Well, at least we know where the box is." "Now let's just try and stay awake till they fall asleep." "Now let's just try and stay awake till they fall asleep." "Then what do we do?" "Trust me." "Those two Creepedeeps are more than a few arches short of a cathedral, if you catch my drift." "This'll be like taking candy from a baby." "Not that you'd know anything about something like that." "Right?" "Me?" "Of course not." "Hey, I got into heaven, didn't I?" "You think every Tom, Dick and hairy mutt gets through those pearly gates?" "I don't think so." "No, I guess not." " Halo?" " Yeah?" "Did you have-- you know," " a boy or a girl back when you" " No, I was on my own." "Fancy-free, living in the city, nothing to tie me down." "Went where l wanted and did what I wanted." "Hmm, because the Good Book says though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves." "Oh, what are you Good Booking me at this time of night for?" "Nothing." "I'm just saying it's really good to have a friend you can count on." "And when we get back to heaven, I'm really gonna start trying harder." "Yeah, I know what you mean, Littlest." "I know what you mean." "Looks like we're in luck." "Look out." " Halo!" " Keep going, Littlest!" "Better listen to the talking dog, kid, and hit the road." "I can't just leave you." "Get going unless you want to feel my whip." "Save yourself, kid." "Heh heh heh, I knew you two were hiding something bigger than that so-called treasure." "But this is even better than I dreamed." "A talking dog!" "You're messing with the wrong mongrel, mister." "I'll go devil dog on you." " Why you" " Save your stupid threats for the show." "No way I'm leaving earth without my best friend." "But what can I do all alone against that big bully?" "What do you think you're doing now?" "See this dog?" "This is the attraction I've been waiting for my whole life." "I've heard that one before." "Yeah?" "Well, you've never heard a talking dog before." "Hello!" "I'm a talking chicken, remember?" "This isn't a fake." "This dog really talks." "Just listen for once in your life." "Tell her." "Ugh." "Amazing!" "He's talking in tongues." "Talking dog, my foot!" "Oh, Mother was right." "I married a nincompoop." "Talk, you miserable mutt, or I'll-- what?" "What's going on?" "It's working." "Wha-- wha-- wha-- ho-- ho-- how?" " Are you okay, Halo?" " Wait wait wait, are you talking to me" " or the other halo?" " Both." "Thanks." "We'd better blow this freak show." "You've still got your treasure box, right?" "It's safe and sound." "Then let's make wings and flap for home." "Littlest!" "Littlest!" "Now this is what I call the greatest attraction on earth-- a real live angel!" "Keep going, Halo!" "Don't stop or they'll catch you too." "Huh?" "It can't be." "A talking dog with wings." "Uh-oh, I don't think I can handle the two of them." "Hey, he's getting away." "Do something." "Oh, forget that mutt." "Quick, you'd better hide." "I can't believe you just stood there while the fortune flew away." "Who cares?" "I just netted a gold mine." "I bagged myself a real live angel." "Gee, I don't see any angel." "And no one else is ever gonna see one either." "Whoa!" "Hey, stop!" "Don't kid yourself, kid." "You'll sprout those wings the minute I order you to." "I won't do it!" "You don't scare me." "Oh, I don't scare you, hmm?" "Well, why don't you ask them two what happens when they disobey me?" "Bok bok bok bok bok." "Oh, you'll pop those wings or I'll find a way to rip 'em out of you." "She's not that cruel." "Or is she?" "Remember, my little angels, place the gifts in an orderly pile." " Oh!" " Oooh." " Outta my way." " Ah!" "Coming through here." "What is the meaning of-- ooof!" "Look, Alban, it's a doggy." "Here, doggy doggy." " ls he for real?" " Unfortunately." "How dare you barge into the Great Hall and paw me?" "Hey, not my idea of heaven either, pal." "But your friend and my friend, the littlest angel, is in big trouble back on earth." "We have to rescue him right now!" " Alban?" " Oh dear, it's Angel Eve." "Logan, get this mutt out of here." "Fine, then I guess I'll just have to tell my troubles to-- oh, Angel Eve?" "Oh!" "Halo, no, she mustn't know anything's wrong." "Then you'd better help save the littlest angel." "Tick tock, time's running out." "All right." "Shhh." "Just keep your snout" "Alban, did you call me?" "Me?" "!" "No, definitely wasn't me." "Logan and I were just helping this dog find the way out out out!" "Hey, glands-for-brains," " ya mind?" " Not at all." "I'm quite strong, you know." "I could carry you all day." " Down, boy." " Oh!" "All right, so what do you know about the whereabouts of that little wing-tipped wonder?" "He's on earth near his old village and rescuing him ain't gonna be easy." "Alert the troops." "Let the battle begin." "Shush!" "Quiet!" "No one can know what's happened." "Even better!" "A secret mission." "To battle!" "My, how I've missed having a good cause to fight for." "Onward." "Er, downward." "I really blew it this time." "All I wanted was my special box to remind me of home." "But now I've lost the best friend I ever had and I'm all alone." "No offense, but I really miss Halo." "But I've still got my other halo!" "I hope." "Thank heaven you're still here." "Let's see if you like playing fetch too." "That's it!" "You got the key." "And I've got my box." "Thanks." "You're the best." "Bok." "Bok bok." " Come on, let's get out of" " Bok bok!" " Bok bok bok bok." " Sorry, there's no time." "Bok bok bok bok." "But I can't leave you with those cruel Creepedeeps." "Stop, grab him!" "Bok bok bok!" " Too late." " You grab that kid." "Whoa." " Stop him!" " Stop!" "Grab him!" "Come back here." "Don't let him get away." "I can't use my wings without really breaking the rules." "Don't let him get away!" " Faster." " You grab that kid." " Don't let him get away." " Just gotta get my wings and-- uh-oh." " Don't let him get away." " After him." " Cut him off." " Grab that kid." "Where is the miniature mischief-maker?" "Oh now" "He says they went thattaway." "Whoa whoa!" " Come back here." " Hey hey, stop him." "Gotcha!" "Whoa!" "Back off, buster." "Ha ha ha!" "You?" "Gonna stop me?" " Wimp." " We'll see who the wimp is here." "Show him, Logan." "Hey, put me down." "Mama!" "Get ready to meet your maker." "Uh-oh." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I can do two shows a night" " with a matinee on Saturday." " Hello, anyone in there?" "This is no time for theatrics." "We've got to get back to you-know-where." "Ooops, sorry." "Previous engagement calls." "But how can we fly with everyone staring at us?" " Follow me." " l do not take orders from-- oh, what the heck." "He wants to ride the Ferris wheel now." "Oh goody!" "You two get in this one." "Halo and I will take the next one." "Don't be ridiculous." "Ah!" "What are you doing?" "Who can turn down a free ride?" "Get ready, Halo." "Jump!" "We've got them now!" "Si." "We grab them as soon as they swing back down." "Gee, we're up so high no one can even see us way up here." "Oh, that's it." "We can sprout our wings now without breaking the rules." "lmpossible." "They're all empty." "They couldn't just fly away." "I don't care where they went but you two are out of here." "You troublemakers are leaving this traveling show right now." "Wait wait, you don't understand." "Give us one more chance." "And don't ever come back." "Arrivederci." "Take that, you halfwit." "Wow, I can't believe you all came just to rescue me." "What are heroes for, Littlest?" "Oh, it's good to be back on solid clouds again." "So how about showing us what's so important about that box of yours?" " Sure thing." " Ahem." "I mean, if it's all right with my headmaster." "Goodness." "Are we sure we have the right angel?" "I know I haven't acted much like a real angel-- just thinking about what would make me happy and not realizing I was putting all my friends in danger." "But from now on I'm going to be the best-behaved angel ever." "So can I, please?" "Uh, "May I?" and all right." "Then let's see what we risked our wings for." "Okay, here goes." "Aren't they just the greatest?" " Yes yes." " They're..." " real nice." "Yeah well." " Interesting." " You don't like them?" " lt's not that." "It's just every great treasure has a story." "I guess we need to hear yours." "Of course, the legend of the treasure." "Oh, do tell!" "Well, this is a rock from the banks of the river where l used to swim and play with all my friends." "And once I found this nest in a tree just outside my window." "So I got to watch the eggs hatch and the baby birds grow up and fly off." "I wonder if they had as much trouble getting used to their wings." "Anyway, when the nest was empty, I found this beautiful butterfly inside." "Its spirit had already gone." "It's not like l-- well, you know." " Nay nay, never." " Heaven forbid." "And this string was on my favorite kite and it got loose and flew so high, I imagined it must have gone all the way up to heaven." "Hmm, remind me to check the heavenly lost and found when we get back to Celestial City." "And this belonged to my first best friend, my old dog." "No doubt about it-- the best treasures I ever saw." "And now you won't have to be sad anymore missing earth." "No way." "I have all the best stuff right here with me forever and ever." "You'll see, Headmaster." "I'm going to make you proud of me." "♪ Angels we have heard on high ♪" "♪ Sweetly singing o'er the plains ♪" "♪ And the mountains in reply ♪" "♪ Echoing theirjoyous strains ♪" "♪ Gloo-ooo ♪" "♪ Ooooo ♪" "♪ Ooooria ♪" "♪ ln excelsis deo ♪" "♪ Gloo-ooo ♪" "♪ Ooooo ♪" "♪ Ooooria ♪" "♪ ln excelsis deo. ♪" "See?" "I knew you had a little angel in you." "We mustn't daily, angels." "It's nearly time for the big event." "What big event?" "A lot's gone on here since you left, Littlest." "God is sending his only son Jesus as a savior for all mankind." "Hurry hurry, gather up your gifts for the Lord and meet in the Great Hall." " Gifts?" " Of course." "It's Jesus's birthday, after all." "The very first Christmas." "Gee, Halo, where am I going to find a present nice enough to give to God's son?" "Come on." "We don't have much time, but maybe we can track down something really special." "Oh oh." "It's no use, Halo." "We searched all over heaven and I couldn't find anything nice enough to give God's only son." "Lucky for us dogs, we're just born joy-givers." "So we don't have to come up with actual presents." "Wow!" "Look at all those priceless treasures." "That's it, Halo!" "I'm sure God's little boy is gonna love them just as much as me." "Oh no no no no no." "What will God think when he sees that box of old junk?" " Junk?" " Well, I'm sorry, but honesty is the best policy and it's just not suitable for" "Oh dear, this is it." "Every angel, places please." "Halo, what am I gonna do?" "Alban's right." "My box is just a bunch of old junk." "I just have to get it back before God sees it." "It's now or never." "Littlest Angel, what are you doing?" "Um, l-- er, made a mistake, Lord." "I gave a gift, but then I realized it's not nearly a nice enough gift for your son." "I mean, I know it probably just looks like old junk next to all the magnificent gifts." "But to me they're the best treasures ever." "That poor little guy." "I warned him." "You all heard me." "No one can blame me." "Uh, can they?" "Wow!" "The littlest angel gave the things he cherished most." "What greater gift could there ever be?" "This box filled with a child's pure joy and wonder shall forever be a beacon to light the way... known to one and all as the Star of Bethlehem." " You did it!" " Way to go, little guy." " l knew you had it in you." " Sweet little thing." "Did you see that, Alban?" "Littlest Angel is our very own shining star." "Amazing!" "Indeed." "Today the littlest angel proved that he's ready to begin traveling to earth as a Junior Angel-in-training." "What?" "But he hasn't performed his three good deeds." " But he has, indeed." " l have?" "Littlest chose to help the bull even after it had been so mean to him." "Littlest risked his own freedom to save these two helpless creatures." "Too late." "You grab that kid." "I guess I see how those were good deeds." "But that's only two." "What's the third?" " Oh oh, I know, I know!" " Yes, Logan?" "When the littlest angel gave away his beloved treasures to bring joy to another child." "My wings!" "Your heavenly reward for performing three very good deeds." "I sure have learned a lot today about real friendship and human kindness and forgiveness." "Yes well, it seems we've all seen the light today." "And now it's time for you to spread God's eternal light, helping humanity to feel His love." "Does that mean what I think it means?" "Yes, my littlest angel, from now on you will be traveling to earth to perform more good deeds." "But of course you will need an older angel to guide you." "So, Alban, you have been chosen to be there to help him every step of the way." "Me?" "Oh, heaven help me."
