The moon's following him, really.
Story by John Semper, Jr. and Virginia Roth

Song: "I'm Being Followed By The Moon"
Snuffy is concerned because he thinks that at night, the moon is following him wherever he goes. Jay Jay and the gang help him wish the moon away. As the kids make this wish, a cloud suddenly appears in front of the moon, blocking its brightness from Tarrytown. Later that night, Snuffy dreams he is called up by none other than the Man in the Moon! The Man in the Moon tells Snuffy that he is upset because he can no longer shine down on Tarrytown to make everything bright and safe! Fortunately, he reveals, all Snuffy has to do to undo the wish, is sing a song. Snuffy sings a happy song about liking to be "Followed by the Moon" and the moon happily shines down on Tarrytown, once again.
"I'm Being Followed By The Moon" provides examples of:
- All Just a Dream: Snuffy approaches Earth and begins falling at an increasingly fast speed...then he wakes up and realizes it was all a dream.
- Magical Incantation: "Moon, moon, go away, come again some other day!"
- Minimalist Cast: Only Jay Jay, Snuffy and Tracy are present, save for the Man in the Moon in Snuffy's dream.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Man in the Moon is sad because the moon's light is turned out, thanks to the wish Snuffy and friends made.
- Triumphant Reprise: Snuffy happily reprises his moon song after learning he likes the moon following him after all.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: For some reason, the occasional narration stops just partially through Snuffy's dream sequence.
