   Premise

   Every morning, Nate and Malika go to school, but get sidetracked on adventures that make them late. When they finally arrive at school, Principal Prudence almost always chooses to not believe their stories.

   Characters

   • Nate (voiced by Jane U'Brien) – An elementary school-aged boy who is enthusiastic about going on adventures, no matter how absurd they may be. He is called "Oscar" in the French version.
   • Malika (voiced by Sarah Aubrey
   ]) – An elementary school-aged girl who is Nate's best friend. Malika acts as the calmer one compared to Nate, but she is also prone to make silly decisions.
   • Principal Prudence (voiced by Sarah Aubrey) – The principal of Nate and Malika's school, who almost always asks the duo their cause for being late.

   In addition to the three main characters, other characters are introduced in most episodes as Nate and Malika embark on their journeys.
