Burst loves chocolate smoothies.
Even more than fly smoothies!
- Gross! - No, it'’s yummy!
Equal parts house flies and horse flies
with a fruity fruit-fly finish!
Oy! I'’m gonna be sick!
- Boy, she ran off fast! - Yeah,
Peeki should run the Junglewood marathon this weekend.
Oh, hey, guys!
The marathon'’s this weekend?
Burst and I always wanted to run it!
But we'’re not the best runners.
- Well, we could train you! - Wow!
You'’re the best runners in Everwilde.
Would you really?
Absolutely!
Just be warned
that our training methods aren'’t for the faint of heart.
Don'’t worry! I'’ve got a strong heartbeat!
Great! Then training starts now.
First rule, no chocolate smoothies.
Argh.
We buy in bulk.
So what'’s our first workout, jump rope?
Uh, no.
This is the workout.
We have to do everything on this list?
Trust me, it works.
Ready, set...
Uh, little help here?
"Catch the woodpecker
and apply cream to its beak so it doesn'’t get sore."
Okay, so where'’s the woodpecker?
Now!
Ooh!
Bleeah.
Grab her, Burst!
No hard feelings?
That was exhausting!
"Brush the gopher'’s teeth."
Faster, Burst!
- Gotcha!
And since you laughed at my bestie,
we'’re gonna use cherry-flavored toothpaste.
Tastes like cough syrup!
There! Much better!
"Clean... sap... from beehive."
Ooh. Maybe the bees will be in a better mood.
Nope! I'’ll distract them, you get the beehive!
Anytime, Burst!
Ohh!
All clean!
I can'’t shake '’em! Run!
Oooh! I think we lost '’em.
No way! I can'’t believe it!
We'’ve been stung and pecked all over--
Don'’t forget my tongue!
And your poor tongue!
Meanwhile, they'’re having a spa day
and drinking smoothies!
Arggh!
Tamika, Burst!
Aw, I see you'’ve been training hard.
You'’re not training us.
You'’re just making us do your chores for you!
What? No.
Well, yes, but--
Aha! You admit it!
Oh, no!
My chores are the training.
Marathons are all about stamina.
Running all over and taking care of all the animals
builds cardio.
That'’s what makes us such good runners.
Oh. Then...
what'’s with the mud bath and the smoothie?
Mud bath?
No! This is a rescue mission.
A turtle wandered into this mud hole
and Sprint and I are here to save it.
And this isn'’t a smoothie,
it'’s fresh water.
And with an enchantment...
Voila! It'’s a cleaning tonic!
Huh. Well, I suppose...
If you don'’t believe me,
then let'’s see how you do at the marathon.
Come on!
Wow! That was way easier than chasing the woodpecker.
- You were right! - Yeah! Thanks!
Oh, you'’re welcome!
Uh-oh.
Here we go again!
I can run all day, bees!
