"Rock to Sleep" is the 16th episode of The Fresh Beat Band.
Summary[]
The episode starts off with Twist, Kiki, Shout, and Marina coming back to the apartment from an awesome day at Music School. The Fresh Beats were thinking about what they should do at the moment, and Kiki suggested that they go inside and play some music. But Marina says that since it was such a beautiful day, they should stay outside and have fun. Shout then comes to an agreement that they can go inside to grab a snack, play some music, and then have fun outside.
The scene transitions to Shout's room, where he is getting a box of Organic Bugle Toots cereal. It's Shout's favorite cereal. He reveals that some Bugle Toots cereal boxes have a real bugle inside, and it would be awesome to get one. So he shakes the cereal box, pours the cereal out of it, then reaches into the box and pulls out the Bugle Toots bugle. Shout was very excited about the fact that the bugle was in his cereal box, so he played Reveille on the bugle to show his excitement. He exclaims that the bugle sounds great and then goes to the lobby to show it off to Twist, Kiki, and Marina.
Shout shows the bugle off to Twist, Kiki, and Marina, and they are all amazed by it. Twist asks Shout if he could touch the bugle, and Shout says that he could, but to be careful with it. Shout gives the bugle to Twist, and he says that the only thing he got from a Bugle Toots cereal box was cereal. Kiki wanted Shout to play something on his bugle, so he plays a jazzy melody on it, and Kiki states that the bugle has a loud sound. Subsequently, the Fresh Beats sing the song "Let's Play," accompanied by Shout's bugle playing.
The song ends, and the Fresh Beats go outside to have some fun. So Shout played some marching music as they were heading outside. The Fresh Beats first go to The Groovy Smoothie, where Melody serves them all smoothies to drink. It's unknown what smoothie Marina ordered, though the color of the smoothie is purple. Twist got a sour lemon squeeze-flavored smoothie, and Kiki got a chilly cherry smoothie. Kiki asks what flavor Shout got, and he plays his bugle and shows the viewer his orange smoothie mustache. That gives Twist, Kiki, and Marina the obvious idea that Shout got an orange-flavored smoothie.
Subsequently, the Fresh Beats are seen playing catch, and Shout is seen playing bugle while doing so. Shout was so focused on playing his bugle that when Marina threw the ball at him, it got stuck in his bugle. Shout then plays his bugle in order for the ball to come out, and then Twist catches it. Next, Twist, Kiki, and Marina order ice cream. Twist got a vanilla-flavored ice cream, Marina got a chocolate flavor, and Kiki got the strawberry flavor. Shout then comes by playing his bugle and accidentally knocks off the other Fresh Beats' ice cream.
Later that night, at the apartment, Shout is still playing his bugle. Twist, Kiki, and Marina, however, are on the apartment steps feeling very tired. Twist and Kiki try to talk some sense into Shout by telling him that it's nighttime and he's been playing his bugle all day. Shout has so much fun playing his bugle that he wants to play some more. The other Fresh Beats, however, stop him by telling him that it's too late to play bugle and that they want to go to bed. Shout, on the other hand, doesn't want to stop because he's been having too much fun playing bugle. Kiki tells him that he can play some more the next day. So the Fresh Beats go inside their apartment to sleep. Shout tries to be sneaky and play bugle some more. And without even looking, Twist stops Shout before he can play.
Later, in Shout's room, he changes into his pajamas and is ready for bed. He gets into his bed with his stuffed tiger and tries to drift off to sleep. It seems that he is having trouble sleeping. So he decides that since he can't sleep, he should play some music on his bugle. He grabs his bugle, and before he starts to play, he stops and thinks about the fact that since Twist, Kiki, and Marina are sleeping, he should play quietly so he doesn't wake them up. So he decides to grab a flashlight, go under his covers, and play bugle under there. Unfortunately, that didn't work, and it woke Twist, Kiki, and Marina up. So they knocked on Shout's door angrily. So Shout opens the door and finds Twist, Kiki, and Marina there, and they explain how Shout's bugle-playing woke them up. Shout says that he'll try to be more quiet, and Kiki asks him to go to sleep.
Twist, Kiki, and Marina all go back to their rooms, and Shout tries to think of another way to play his bugle without waking them up. So he puts a pillow on the bell of the bugle, making a more muffled sound. Shout eventually gets too carried away and starts to play the bugle without the pillow on it, again waking Twist, Kiki, and Marina up. Shout opens his door and, of course, sees Twist, Kiki, and Marina there, who again complain about Shout's bugle playing. Shout explains that he has too much fun playing the bugle that he can't sleep. So Twist, Kiki, and Marina all decide to help Shout go to sleep so he doesn't constantly annoy them with his bugle playing. So, as they are trying to conduct multiple solutions to help Shout sleep by bringing him unlimited amounts of pillows, they all sing the song "No Problem We Can't Solve."
The song ends, and it looks like Shout has finally fallen asleep. It looks like all those pillows worked. So Twist, Kiki, and Marina tip-toe back into their own rooms so they don't wake Shout up, but it turns out that Shout's sleep was an illusion. He gets up from bed and plays his bugle again, startling Twist, Kiki, and Marina. Twist, Kiki, and Marina still need to find a way to make Shout go to sleep. Kiki says that rocking always makes her sleepy, so they can try rocking Shout to sleep. So Twist decides to get a hammock, put it outside, and have Shout lay on it to rock him to sleep.
Shout is now in a hammock and is ready to be rocked to sleep. Twist, Kiki, and Marina start swaying him back and forth on the hammock very slowly, but it doesn't seem to be working, so Marina suggests that they rock the hammock a little faster. They eventually rock the hammock a little too hard and make Shout fall off of the hammock. Since rocking Shout to sleep didn't work, Twist had an idea to get a very big and fluffy cloud and make Shout a bed on that cloud and drift away. Twist's got so caught up in his own idea that it made him fall asleep. Marina wakes Twist up, and he finishes explaining his idea by saying that on Shout's cloud bed, he could fall asleep right away. Marina thinks that Twist thought up a good idea, but she contrasts it by saying that Shout could just fall asleep in his own bed.
Twist, Kiki, and Marina move Shout's bed from his room to the outside. Shout tries to go to sleep, but he still has trouble doing so. Marina states that taking a walk always helps her go to sleep. And since Shout's bed has wheels, Twist, Kiki, and Marina decide to roll Shout's bed so that Shout can take a walk while he's in his bed. The Fresh Beats head over to The Groovy Smoothie and see Melody. Melody notices Shout taking a walk with his bed and states that she uses her own bed to sleep in. Kiki and Marina explain that Shout keeps waking them up playing his bugle and that they are so tired, so tired that they, along with Twist, fall asleep. Melody wonders why they are so tired, and Shout explains that it's because of him playing his bugle. He demonstrates how he plays his bugle, and it, of course, wakes up Twist, Kiki, and Marina.
Melody suggests that since Shout can't sleep, Twist, Kiki, and Marina should sing him a lullaby. She demonstrates a lullaby by singing some lines of the famous lullaby "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." She would've sang more, but she is very tired too. Marina thinks that it's a great idea for them to sing a lullaby to Shout. So Twist, Kiki, and Marina were about to go back to the apartment, but they almost forgot to take Shout with them. Luckily, they eventually realize this and roll Shout back to the apartment.
The Fresh Beats all make it back to the apartment and are about to sing Shout a lullaby. Shout wants to play the lullaby with them, but Kiki tells him that if he plays with them, he won't fall asleep. So, as a lullaby, Twist, Kiki, and Shout sing the song "Rock to Sleep." The lullaby seems to work at first, but Shout gets up and plays an upbeat jazz tune on his bugle. He claims that the song needs more bugle in it. Kiki assures him the song should be quiet and soft like a lullaby, but since it's a Fresh Beats song, Shout wants to play his bugle with them. So, as a result, the Fresh Beats sing an extended version of the "Rock to Sleep" song.
The song ended, and everyone was really tired, including Shout. Shout is finally sleepy. It turns out that all Shout needed to sleep was some good singing and dancing. So the episode ends with Shout in his room, in his bed, finally about to sleep.
