Begone, spawn of Cerberus!
Woman: Come on, Cerberus! Come on!
It's okay, Mort.
The beast is gone now.
Craig: Perfectly sharp.
JP, I gave you a bike pump 5 minutes ago.
What's taking so long?
[ Muffled talking indistinctly ]
Wait. What?
I said, "I thought that was a dynamite plunger."
JP, why would I want you to blow up the raft?
Craig, that's literally what you asked me to do!
Companions!
Whereth art we, uh -- Where we going?
Ooh, I know![ Fizzle! ]
Aw, nut.
Today, we're exploring the Algae Abyss,
also called the Fool's Field by early creek settlers
because the algae is so thick, from far away,
it looks like a field of grass, but it's not.
My guess is, this green layer of goo is hiding something,
and if we can clear a hole in that algae,
we'll be the first kids to see what lies beneath.
Or be torn apart by the swamp monsters that lurk beneath it.
Don't worry. I can smell a kraken from a mile away.
Okay, I think we're far enough out.
JP, give it a stir.
I'm tryin', but this stuff is thick.
[ Grunting ]
[ Squish! ]
[ All shout ]
Okay. Let's not panic.
What do we got over here? Slime, okay.
How about here? Hmm, more slime.
Uh, let me check over here again.
Whoa! Whoa!
Craig, quit bouncing us around!
Uh, it's slime on all sides!
How are we going to get out of here without a paddle?
What are you talkin' about?
We have plenty of paddles.
Together: Really? Where?
Your staff and your sword.
Together: Are you crazy?!
[ Both shouting indistinctly ]
Together: ...in a pile of goo!
This is exactly why you don't have an iconic accessory.
Oh, have I not introduced you to my oversized sleeves?!
Okay. Maybe we can just swim our way out of here.
[ Bubbling, pop! ]
Aah! Aah!
Yuck! I am not touching that.
You guys, come on.
I've swam in way worse. See?
It's just a little green stuff.
JP, it's... crawling down your arm.
And, no, Kelsey, it's growing down my arm.
You see, guys, algae is a plant, and plants grow, you know?
Photosynthesis and so --
Guh! Aah!
Okay. We can't swim out of here, we don't have a paddle,
and we don't want to turn into algae monsters.
I think we're...stranded.
Kelsey: All hope is not lost yet.
What?
Huh?
Kelsey studied her avian apprentice
with a studious look.
Though he was small of stature, hollow of bone,
is sometimes afraid of barking heckhounds,
he was the bravest bird she knew.
Mortimer? [ Coos ]
I need you to fly back to Creek Civilization
and find someone to rescue us.
I believe in you.
You're the best warrior that I know.
Mwah!
Now fly!
Fly more!
More!
Oh, our fates rest on the wings of a tiny parakeet.
So, which corner is the bathroom?
♪♪
Aah!
Well, hey, Mortimer.
Where's Kelsey?
[ Chirping ]
Uh, if you're looking for some sour worms, I'm all out.
Ooh! But I do have some bitter babies!
Different shape but same sour taste.
Craig, Kelsey, and JP: Help! Save us, Mortimer!
[ Coos ]
♪♪
Craig, Kelsey, and JP: Good idea, Mortimer.
She'll understand now.
Hey, what are you doing? I was going to trade that.
Aw, now the fish are eating the bitter babies?
I can't trade those, either.
[ Chirps ]
Just so you know, I'm putting that on Kelsey's tab!
Hmm. Let's see who we can call at the Creek.
Whew. I have a lot of contacts in here.
I'm just trying to find the right person.
It's almost like I'm too popular. [ Chuckles ]
You only have me and JP's numbers, don't you?
No.
Yes. How about you, JP?
I only got three bars.
Oh, uh, down to two.
[ Sighs ]
Ugh.
[ Wind gusting ]Huh?
Kelsey, your hair.
Oh, you noticed.
Yeah, I've been avoiding my baths lately.
Looks pretty good, right? [ Chuckles ]
Don't got to tell me twice, but I'd like it if you did.
No, I mean, it's fluttering.
There must be a breeze.
[ Snaps fingers ]That's it.
Ah, Craig, you did that right in my ear.
If there's a breeze, all we need is a sail.
JP, give me your jersey.
You don't got to ask me twice, but I'd like it if you did.
What -- What is the bit that you guys are trying?
Craig, let him have this!
♪♪
Aw, yeah!
[ Wind gusting ]
Guys, look! It's working!
Daah!
♪♪
Oh, no, my iconic accessory!
Ohh. [ Sighs ]
I hope Mortimer is having better luck than us.
Aha! According to the Junior Forest Scout Survival Guide,
these berries are... edible.
Oh, wait. I mean inedible.
Wait. No. It looks like they are edible.
Which one is it?
Boris does not want dysentery.
Pff, classic Tony. If you want nature know-how,
you come to me. Aah, bird!
Help me, Mommy!
[ Chirping ]
Hmm. Looks like a common parakeet,
more specifically, a "budgie,"
and if I remember correctly, this one belongs to Kelsey.
The true question is why is it here
without her and her companions.
It's a bird, Tony. It's not like it just stays
on her head all the time.
Uh, Boris think it does.
[ Chirping ]
Perhaps he is here alone because Kelsey,
Craig, and JP are in trouble.
Maybe they need help and sent him
to find a rescue team.Pff.
If they were really in trouble, they'd just call me.
They have my number.
Hey. Stop it, bird!
Oof! Hey! He took my wildlife conservation badge!
You're done for, bird!
Maybe he's leading us to Kelsey because she's in trouble.
Ah, he's probably just looking for something to poop on.
Whoa!
What the heck is this hole doing here?
Boris was trying to get my Tree Badge but got carried away.
[ Gasps ] Hey, bird! Find someone to help us, please?
But bring my badge back first.
Wait! Come back!
Ugh. Boris should not have eaten that berry.
♪♪
JP hungy and Craig...crazy?
[ Chuckles ] Crazy? No way.
Craig-y boy has got one last trick up his sleeve.
I'm going to use one of my perfectly sharpened pencils
to puncture a hole in the raft,
causing the air to release and rocket us so fast
that we'll skip across the water like a stone.
What do you think?
Um...Great.
3, 2, 1, blastoff!
[ Fizzle! ]
Craig, what made you think that that would work?
I don't know! I watch a lot of cartoons!
At least I'm trying things!
Uh...

Uh...
