Belladonna is questing!
Episode 1/25: Cina the Brown Fox munches on her carrot, admiring the view around her. Her picnic partner, Boyd the Astonishing Helper Ant, drinks some grape soda.

"This soda is delicious," Boyd says.

"Not as good as this carrot," Cina counters.

"I think the soda is better than a carrot."

Cina scoffs, finishing her carrot. She picks up a pear, eyeing Boyd as he grabs a carrot. "I thought carrots weren't good."

Boyd rolls his eyes, "I said the soda was better, I didn't say carrots aren't good."

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 2/25: Cina shakes her head in annoyance. Noticing Belladonna approaching them, she gently smacks Boyd with her tail. Boyd examines Belladonna.

"Can we...help you?"

"Sorry to interrupt. I've been travelling and I was hoping you would have a little food to share, I don't need much and I see you have an abundance."

Boyd and Cina exchange looks. "Sorry...we don't have any food to spare."

"Just a single berry? To help my hunger until I reach town."

"We simply have nothing to spare."

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 3/25: Cina and Boyd insist they can spare none of their food. Belladonna sighs, deciding best to move on.

Peeking from behind a nearby tree, a Forest Fairy Fox watches, listening to the three pets talking, squabbling over a handful of berries. I feel.. a lesson is needed here.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 4/25: "What is this?"

Boyd falls over in disbelief as the food from their picnic has suddenly come to life! Cina and Belladonna watch in shock as the food runs around before them.

"What is happening?"

"Our food!"

With a giggle, the Forest Fairy Fox disappears leaving behind a cloud of sparkles.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 5/25: Cina and Boyd jump up confronting Belladonna.

"Turn our food back!"

"You did this!"

"I didn't do anything!" Belladonna shouts.

"You need to get us new food."

"I didn't do it."

"You're buying us new food to fix this."

"With what? I don't have any gems on me."

The newly transformed egg sits up feeling dizzy, listening closely to the argument. Gems...?

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 6/25: As Cina, Boyd, and Belladonna continue arguing about the missing food and who is responsible, the egg grabs a couple "gems" to examine. These must be valuable...they keep mentioning them. The egg stands up shakily, grabbing a napkin to wrap his stolen gems inside.

Belladonna calls out loudly, "Fine! I'll help you get your food back - there's already one here."

Cina and Boyd turn to see the egg standing before them. Thinking quick, the egg replies, "I'm no food, I'm just an egg going on my way. Now this flower... It looks like food."

"A flower?" Belladonna asks, seeing the flower running in circles.

"Flowers are tasty," Boyd replies.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 7/25: The group carefully approaches the flower, slowly the flower stops running, seeming to have run out of energy.

"Are you all right?" Belladonna asks.

The flower pants, "I don't - this is - where am -"

"Oh great, a rambler," Cina scoffs.

Boyd responds, "Technically it hasn't rambled, but it has fractured -"

"You need to come with us," the egg says forcibly.

"Who even are you?" Cina asks.

"As I said, just an egg on my way."

"Well I'm calling you Egon, then."

Belladonna rolls her eyes, "Will you come with us, flower? It's safer than running around here alone."

"Oh, think of the gems we could earn from a talking flower!" Boyd whispers excitedly.

Gems..? Egon thinks to itself.

Hesitantly, the flower agrees to join them.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 8/25: "Oi! Don't let it get away!"

The flower runs excitedly alongside everyone, as the group chases a speedy carrot into a garden behind a house. The carrot attempts to bury itself into the dirt.

"Stop that!" Boyd yells as he marches toward the carrot.

"Oh look at the pretty red thing!" the flower yells spotting a radish hiding in the garden.

Cina eyes a basket of gems sitting on the back of a truck. "Maybe..." she says quietly to herself, "they're just sitting their unwatched..." Egon overhears Cina, looking toward the truck.

The carrot yells as Boyd yanks it out of the ground.

Belladonna looks around nervously, "Everyone quiet!"

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 9/25: Diving one by one into the vegetable garden attempting to hide behind the growing plants, Egon joins them just in time as the owner of the garden come out of the nearby house.

"Egon what were you doing?" Belladonna hisses.

"None of your business," Egon replies a little too loud as it pulls a basket of gems into the vegetation.

The owner looks around curiously, knowing he heard something but unable to spot where it came from. Shrugging, the owner heads toward his truck.

"Wait - where's the radish?" Belladonna whispers looking around them.

"Oh no! It's in the truck!" Cina loudly whispers back.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 10/25: Following at a distance, the truck leads them into a local village's farmer's market. The radish jumps from the stopped truck, running into the market.

"After her!"

Chasing the radish, pushing pets out of their way, a walking pickle cuts across the path, the radish smacking into it. Egon catches up to them, pulling both of them to their feet, holds onto them as the others catch up. Egon scolds the radish and pickle, "You two are too valuable to continue on alone."

Cina pants catching her breath, "You two... need to... come with us..."

Boyd looks around the market, feeling his stomach rumble. He goes to a booth buying some carrots to eat.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 11/25: Cina spots Boyd, pulling him aside. "What are you doing?"

"Getting something to eat, I've been starving since all our food ran away."

"You better not have used any of my gems."

They're my gems, too. I notice you never help carry them around."

"Oh ho ho!" Cina and Boyd turn surprised from the strange laugh, an asparagus stood before them carrying a bag of gems. "Do you two need some help? Some nice gentlepet gave me these telling me I was 'the best animatronics' he's ever seen! I don't know what that means, but I don't have a need for these either..."

"Oh yes, we could use -"

"We don't need your gems," Belladonna responded quickly, cutting off Cina. "But we are looking for... well, for others like you - vegetables - walking around, talking."

"I've not seen any vegetables, dearie, but there's a very talented ice cream singing at the local parlor."

Belladonna looks toward Cina and Boyd, "Did you have ice cream at your picnic?"

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 12/25: "Oh, time will tell...
What I'm waiting for...
Watching the clock click by...
Wanting you to walk through that door...

Ohhh, my sweet waffle cone...
The sprinkle of my eye...
If you only knew...
How you make my heart fly...

A cherry topping so sweet...
A perfect work of art...
Won't you please come...
And melt my frozen heart..."

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 13/25: Egon bursts into the parlor marching straight to the singing ice cream. Grabbing the ice cream and the gems it collected, Egon drags it across the parlor. The pets gathered in the parlor run out the door screaming.

"Egon - stop it!" Belladonna shouts as she enters the parlor.

Disgruntled, Egon releases the ice cream. The ice cream cone looks around the parlor at the collection of pets and foods standing near it.

"Oh yes, this is the singing ice cream!" the asparagus says ecstatically. "Such a fantastic voice!"

"What do we do with all of them?" Belladonna asks.

"I might be able to help!" Surprised, Belladonna looks across the parlor seeing a red fox at a table. "You've found some interesting specimens here... I'd be happy to take them with me."

"Possibly..." Cina exchanges looks with Boyd, "for a price, of course."

"Name it."

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 14/25: "Thank you," Boyd says as he adds gems to his sack, "we're glad to have you ge- your expertise watching over these foods for us."

"My pleasure," the red fox responded. "You know, I heard a rumour there's another one of these creatures out around the back of the building..." "Say no more!" Egon shouts, lifting his substantially heavier bag over his non-existent shoulder and running out the door.

"Well we could have let him say some more," Cina complains searching through bushes in the rain. "I would have at least liked to have gotten an umbrella before we came outside!"

"It wasn't raining earlier..." Belladonna wonders. "Where did all these clouds come from?"

"Rain, shmaine," Egon replies. "I'll be the first to get that walking food and the reward!"

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 15/25: Darting from the bushes, a little avocado runs toward an open field.

"Don't let it get away!"

Following close on the avocado's tail, the storm is soon left far behind. Proving athletic, the avocado jumps a riverbank.

"Did you see that?"

"Feisty little one."

One by one, Belladonna, Cina, Boyd, and Egon jump the riverbank. Boyd quickly closes the gap catching the terrified avocado.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 16/25: "Great job, Boyd!" Cina glances sideways at Egon, "Guess we get the reward for this one."

"Uhh...Cina..."

Cina looks back to Boyd, her mouth dropping. "What..?"

The river was suddenly far below the land they are standing on, the edge they had jumped from too far away to jump again.

Egon notices a pear running away. Deciding to follow it, Egon leaves the others behind.

"I think...we're not going back this way..." Boyd says, dropping a pebble off the side, waiting for it to splash far below.

Belladonna looks around concerned, "Where did Egon go?"

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 17/25: "Get back here!" Egon shouts chasing the pear up a tree. No matter how much Egon climbs, the pear is constantly out of reach. Egon jumps across to the next tree, it begins to climb fast trying to catch the pear.

"Egon!"

Egon hears Cina's voice, far away. Looking down, Egon sees the ground moving further away. The higher Egon goes into the sky, the less it can hear the shouts from below.

Worried of being left behind, Cina, and Boyd grab onto a tree, getting hoisted quickly into the air. Belladonna grabs the avocado as she jumps onto a tree branch.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 18/25: Bursting through the clouds high above, the trees steadily continue to grow.

"Jump!" Egon calls after watching the pear land solidly on a cloud.

"What?"

"Are you crazy?"

"Just do it!" Egon shouts.

One by one, they jump from the fast growing tree, landing on the cloud.

"This is...oddly solid."

"It's not a cloud," Boyd says as a breeze pushes the cloud around. "There's a platform here."

Belladonna looks across the cloud surface, "Someone lives up here."

"Good," Cina says marching off, "We're going straight to the largest building - surely it's the most important."

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 19/25: Approaching the largest building on the clouds - a towering castle with an entrance larger than most houses Belladonna has seen - they enter through a crack in the stone.

"Shouldn't we have knocked?" Belladonna asks.

"It's fine, stop worrying."

Belladonna looks around nervously, thinking trespassing will not make the owners happy.

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

"Shh!"

Rounding a corner, a vast dining room appears before them. Trolls larger than any troll Belladonna has seen before stand around the table eating loudly, knocking over food and drinks. A strawberry growls as it rolls across the floor, Belladonna hesitantly follows the others across the dining hall running to the strawberry.

Egon races beyond the dizzy strawberry, straight to a pile of gems of various sizes. Boyd follows after Egon, turning away running under the table as an ice cream cone screams, tumbling from the table.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 20/25: "Keep going!"

"Are they behind us?"

"Why did you take their gems!?"

"Why did you take their food?"

"I didn't mean to sneeze!"

"Is that thunder?"

"Stay on the path!"

"Run faster!"

"Where did Belladonna go?"

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 21/25: A walking broccoli hums to itself, loading packages of gems, crystals, and gold onto a nearby shuttle. The eggplant inside the ship yells for the broccoli to hurry up. Grabbing another chest of treasure, broccoli shouts in fear as pets fall from the low hanging cloud above him.

Egon brushes itself off, rushes to the pile of treasure grabbing a few gems as the broccoli helps the others up from the ground.

"Where did you come from?"

"Giant trolls!" Cina gasps dramatically. "We barely escaped with our lives!"

"Them trolls are danger," the eggplant growls from inside the shuttle. "Ye brought danger. Load up the treasure before them finds us."

In exchange for a ride away from the trolls, everyone helps load the shuttle with the scattered treasure.

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 22/25: "How long have we been flying?"

"Where are we going?"

"I want to go home!"

"Think they'll notice if I grab some more gems?"

"The water looks brighter."

"Is that a palm tree?"

"Where is this?"

"Out ye go!"

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 23/25: Dropping heavy bags of gems on the ground, everyone looks around the cliffside the eggplant captain landed on.

"Where is this?"

"This is boring."

"There's nothing of value here."

"Are those the foods we found before?"

"Didn't that fox take them?"

In a swirl of mist and sparkles, a Forest Fairy Fox appears before them.

"Welcome to my home, travellers. Tell me, do you know what brought you here?"

"The shuttle."

"The eggplant."

"Chasing our food."

The Forest Fairy Fox shakes his head. "Have you learned anything on your journey?"

"Not to share with strangers."

"Find somewhere else to picnic."

"Trolls are stupid and easy to steal from."

The Forest Fairy Fox sighs.

"Your greed has overwhelmed you, blinded you, to the deeds you have done. You've refused kindness to strangers, bickered among yourselves, stolen from others. Your greed has even led you to sell living creatures to another for your own gain. Belladonna has been the only voice of reason among you during your journey - the more you took for yourselves, the more difficult your journey became. If you don't curb your greed, far worse things will ensue."

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 24/25: "This is your final chance," the Forest Fox Fairy tells them. "My dear fox friend was sent to test you, to which you failed. But he did bring the foodimals to me so you could have one final chance to show you can change: give away the wealth you gathered for yourself to others."

Belladonna shows no hesitation, grabbing some of the gems passing them to one of the foodimals nearest her.

Egon scoffs, "These are mine. In the short time I've been alive I've seen over and over - wealth is how you get ahead in this world. Nothing is more important."

Cina and Boyd exchange looks, realizing they are the ones who taught Egon such things.

Cina looks at the foods - foodimals he said? around her, walking, talking, thinking. "There are...some things more important, Egon." Cina grabs gems, filling a table full of them. "I have more gems at home, I don't need these."

Egon growls, hold its bag of gems close.

Boyd watches Egon, then grabs gems passing them to the foodimals around him. "There are more important things."

Belladonna is questing!
Episode 25/25: Egon stands in the yard with a bag of gems, watching the others board the shuttle, the eggplant ready to pilot them back to their homes. Getting comfortable in their seats, poof! their laps are suddenly full of golden pieces.

Looking out the windows, they see an dull egg laying on the ground near the foodimals, a spilt bag of gems beside it.

"Is that Egon?"

"What happened?"

"The Forest Fairy Fox did say things would get worse if we didn't change..."

"He did that to Egon?"

"Egon's greed did that to itself."

"If that happened to Egon... What would have happened to us if we had chosen more greed?"
