[ Coughing ]
Hey, Kit. Let me get one of those Yo Gos.
You got barbecue flavor?
[ Sneezes ]
[ Sighs ] Next.
Whoa, Kit! You don't look so good.
You need to go home.
And let everyone at the creek starve?
Or worse -- Let somebody else in on my turf?
No -- Ah! -- way.
[ Sneezes ] Forget it!
This ol' trading tree never sleeps!
Well, if you're sticking it out,
would you mind sticking me on a flight to Flavor Town?
Here's the deal, Kit -- My food reviews are off the charts.
12 views! So, tell me --
What's the weirdest flavor of chip you got?
Uh...[snorts]
oh, here you go! Hot-cabbage and clams.
One for you, too, Craig?
Thank you, but, ew, gross. No.
All right, you ready, Craig?
Uhp, don't forget to make it landscape.
Oh, right.
Welcome to Taste Test with J.P.
I'm J.P.
The Yum Yum Snack Corporation is at it again
with another fan flavorite contest.
This time, we got a submission from Kathy from Massachusetts --
hot-cabbage and clams.
Ew.
[ Sniffs ] Whew!
Oh, that smells like a nursing home by the docks.
[ Retching ]
Let's give it a taste.
Ehh.
[ Munching ]
[ Strains, burps ]
Mmm! It's funny.
I thought "hot cabbage" meant spicy,
but it's more like cabbage
that's been sitting in the back of a car.
I'm gonna give it three out of five belly freckles,
but let me know what you think in the comments below or don't.
I don't base my happiness on the opinions of others.
All right, I'll catch you on the next one.
Those chips seemed kind of weird for three belly freckles.
Hey, you want to try one, Craig?
No, thank you. I've got my Choco-Roll.
It was locally traded and not weird.
Wow. Somebody's got a real snoot in their patoot.
[ Whispering ] Craig is a picky eater.
I am not.
Hi, food-video boy!
Oh, bye, picky-eater boy. [ Giggles ]
I'm Craig!
All right, Craig, what about the time you came over,
and you wouldn't eat my dad's liver dumplings?
That's what we're going by -- liver dumplings?
In Hungary, they're the equivalent of French fries!
Look, I think kids should be able to eat
whatever they want at the creek,
but also, they shouldn't because they eat super gross stuff.
[ Munching ]
[ Bubbling, squelching ]
[ Shhhhlop! ]
[ Munching ]
Uh, don't knock till you made a video review about it.
Yeah, just because something's new and different
doesn't mean it's bad.
I mean, I've discovered sci-fi can be just as compelling
as young-adult fantasies.
And, oh, boy, when you combine them,
you can have centaurs piloting spaceships.
You got to open your heart, Craig,
or your life... will be boring.
I'd rather be boring than surrounded every day
by a bunch of gross-snack-loving kids!
Do you hear that, universe?!
Well...tough break 'cause I'm coming to the creek forever.
Guys, I can't come to the creek today. I'm sick.
Oh, no! But we were gonna go to the mud spa.
And you were the only one with coupons.
We can't afford the rocks it costs to go without you.
We'll have to save it for another afternoon.
For now, y'all, enjoy your day and don't forget to watch...
my amazing food reviews... and hit "subscribe."
[ Beep ]
Guess its gonna be a J.P.-free creek day.
What should we do?

But I did not include those gross chips.
You know what? I had my doubts,
but these are pretty good.
Mmm! You sure you don't want to give them a shot?
No way! Ugh!
[ Horn blowing ]
Guess that's dinner. See you tomorrow?
Only death could keep me away.
"Dearest Craig, a plague has fallen over me.
As such, I regret to inform you
that I cannot make it to our beloved creek today.
Perhaps, not ever."
Honey, you have a cold. You're not dying.
[ Coughs ] Just say it!
"Enjoy what little time you have left."
Okay, now it sounds like I'm threatening a child.
Wow. What am I gonna do now?
♪♪
I feel like it could use something.
What do you two think?
[ As J.P. ] "Oh, I think you should draw a ninja cat."
[ As Kelsey ] "A cat would never be a ninja.
Cats are either paladins or self-serving aristocrats."
[ Normal voice ] This got weird fast.
I should see if anyone else is around.

Got any juice, Kit?
I could use a cold one right now.
Are there no kids left to play with?
Voice: Craig!
Craiw! Caw!
[ Sighs ] It's like I'm the only kid in the creek.
[ Echoing ] I'm the only kid in the creek!!
The only creek kid is me!!
This is just some ordinary sick day.
Some evil malediction has cursed our precious creek.
Luckily for me, I know a couple of gals
who know a thing or two about curses.
Tabitha: I cant believe you have to work
at Smoothie Groovy.
Yeah, but it's just for three months,
and then I can make a down payment on that hearse
from the funeral home...
or the hatchback. I can't decide.
Can you imagine showing up to my dorm in a hearse?
Aah!
Witches, I come seeking your guidance
and maybe even your magic.
What's with that outfit?
She got a jo-- um...
promoted to high priestess of potions...or whatever.
Turns off your lights.
Sorry. The other creek kids have disappeared,
and I fear an accursed illness may be the cause.
I'm the last one left.
Whoa, really? Every kid gone?
It's like something out of that show,
"Tales from the Shadow Zone."
Oh, yeah, definitely. You are clearly in the middle
of a classic supernatural morality tale.
W-What's that?
Oh, it's like when someone in a stories wishes for something,
but then they get that wish,
but it's bad and teaches them a dumb lesson.
Like you say, "I hate school! I wish it didn't exist!"
But then you wake up in a world where everyone's dumb
because there's no school,
and you raise your fists and yell at the sky.
[ Gasps ] I did that! I yelled at the sky!
[ Sputters, laughs ] Okay, run us through
what happened,
the last day everything was normal.
Well, like usual, we met at the stump.
Kelsey thought that she'd grown a bit,
so we measured her.
Then, we helped out J.P. with the zits on his back.
Ugh. Skip to the yelling part.
Later, J.P. offered me a hot-cabbage and clam chip,
and I was like, "No way!
I'd rather be boring than surrounded
by a bunch of gross-snack-loving kids!
You hear that, universe?!"
Oh, no! You really did it.
You questioned the universe, like, exactly.
To its face!
You said you wanted to live in a boring world
with no weird stuff, and you got your wish.
Okay, so, how do I bring everyone back?
In order for the universe to return your friends,
you need to prove to the universe that you've changed.
You need...to eat those gross chips.
♪♪
In front of us. We want to see.
[ Sighs ] I'll do it.
Thanks, evil witches.
That little dude is a riot.
I love him.
♪♪
Ugh. If I want to bring back all the kids in the creek,
I'm gonna need more than this.
"What about us, Craig?"
[ Laughs ] Oh, don't worry!
When the real Kelsey comes back, we'll still be friends.
Better bury them deep.
♪♪
I did it!
Get out of here. We're closed.
You don't even work here.
Practicing.
Will this work?
We can only hope.
Quick! Clean the blender!
Wait. Don't.

Mushy meat fit for a warrior,
hot-cabbage and clam chips -- the root of the problem.
Oats of the equine to send you along on your journey.
Ye old sports sludge elixir.
Just a touch of this should do the trick.
And a splash of orange juice.
Oh, that's not very spooky.
Well, yeah. Well, we put it in everything,
and it helps it all blend, so...
[ Thunder crashes ]
♪♪
Oh, foul stank, release from your tank
all the little pests back to their nests!
Okay, drink up.

Uh...you work here, you clean it up.

Both: Hey, Craig!
It -- It worked?
Aw, Craig! We missed ya.
Oh, I'm so glad you're okay!
I really thought I'd never see either of you again.
What are you talking about?
It doesn't matter. All you need to know
is that I will never turn down another chance
to try new things... ever...again.
Hey, welcome to Taste Test with J.P.,
and today, me and my friend Craig
will be trying...
powdered fish straws!
Whew! Pungent.
