[edit] Born to Be Beavers
In a mendacious documentary, entitled "Beavers on the Go", a family of beavers are living happily until the mother gives birth to a second litter. This means the first litter is now ready to leave the lodge and live on their own. Norbert, the oldest by 4 minutes, is ready, but Daggett is reluctant. Norb tells him if they just kick back and relax, the job will get done. Dag tries to build a den, but he catches Norb goofing off in a chicken house. Norb claims this would make a good dwelling. The farmer catches them, and chases them into his truck. The truck goes down a hill, through a forest, hitting every tree in its path, over a cliff, into a pond, forming our heroes home.

[edit] Up All Night
The beavers can't sleep, and since they're not living with their parents anymore, they decide to stay up all night. Throughout the night they have a jumping contest, do prank calls, watch horror movies, exercise, play tether ball, pillow fight, and battle the mysterious Crawling Spleen (or is it just a leaky faucet?). The beavers notice the clock which says 10:54. Dag sees that the clock isn't plugged in, and they rush outside, to their blow, they've stayed up a ba-zillion years.
