Dean Lomax drives to Elwood City, because he wants his old friend Neal Lundgren to take care of a patient, which turns out to be a guitar named Bonnie.
{{Template:Missing|plot}}
==Trivia==
*Dean Lomax traveled from the South Western Desert of the United States to Eastern United States, and he says they will be there to night fall meaning. He either takes a day to travel from Southwestern U.S to Elwood City or he was speeding most of the way.
==Characters==


'''Looking for Bonnie'''
*[[George]]
 
*[[Buster]]
When [[George]] tells [[Arthur]] and Buster about Dean, Buster informs George that Dean Lomax used to be a rock star who had a hit called “Looking for Bonnie”. According to legend, Dean got his instrument, when lightning struck a tree and transformed it into a magic guitar. Buster is envious, because Bonnie the guitar is in George's house.

That evening, [[Buster]] shows up at George's house for a sleepover. He was not invited, but George is too kind to send him away. At night, Buster wants to see Bonnie. George takes Wally along and they go into Mr. Lundgren's workshop. They see a fancy looking guitar. George pulls a string. He has a fantasy in which he plays guitar and sings to make a sapling grow. The other kids contribute compost and water and, eventually, the sapling becomes a big tree. Buster then pulls a string and has a fantasy of jamming with an alien at Stonehenge. Back in the real world, the boys want to get back to bed, but the door does not open from the inside.
==Song==
Below is a song that George sang in his imagination, when day-dreaming about playing a song for a tree sapling that is trying to grow in a dusty plain.


In the morning, Mr. Lundgren and Dean Lomax find the boys asleep next to the guitar. Dean tells them that they had the wrong guitar. Bonnie is a rather plain looking guitar that was bought in Chicago many years ago. The lightning story is just a legend. However, Dean does admit that music is magic, since it can let you understand a different culture or make the world a better place. In the end, Dean drives off with Bonnie.

=== Episode connections ===
''If I could I'd play this tree to grow. I'd give it company, 'cause that's what it needs to be a tree. Yeah! if I could I'd play this tree to grow.''
* Buster's line “Aliens from outer space, land, but not on me” likely refers to Buster's story in the “[[The Contest]]” in which a UFO does land on him.
* George had another musical fantasy in “[[Big Horns George]].” In the same episode, Mr. Lundgren made a guitar for him.
*Arthur, Buster and George play marbles, which is a major plot point in "[[Arthur Loses His Marbles (episode)|Arthur Loses His Marbles]]."
=== Cultural references ===
* Dean quotes {{W|Walt Whitman}}’s poem ''The Voice of the Rain''. ("And who art thou? said I to the soft-falling shower.")
