Bugsey is questing!
Episode 1: After arriving at the show, Bugsey who adores the Nibbles and Scritch show, used all the money saved up from walking the neighbor's dog to bribe the security guard dogs to allow a super backstage pass! The crew is a little confused as to how Bugsey managed to get backstage, but the bus needs unpacked and any extra paws are welcome at this point. Scritch, who's been overworked and underpaid for far too long, is hoping that Bugsey loves this gig enough to take over permanently.

Episode 2: Once the bus was unloaded and the stage is set for the upcoming show, Bugsey begs Nibbles to be the MC of the show. Scritch is happy to give up the post and agrees rapidly, mentioning that it'll look great on a resume for Bugsey, because this isn't a currently paid position. Like she was going to give up her paltry pay to Bugsey!

Priscilla, trying to make such an impression to the talent scout who's rumored to be in the audience tonight, puts on her finishing touches of make up and sparkles, dreaming of becoming the newest hot rising star on the Holly Wood walk of fame!

Episode 3: Bugsey, dressed to the nines, announces to the full stadium the trick that Nibbles will be performing LIVE! Risking life and limb, Nibbles climbs into the magic sack, handcuffed and shackles around his back paws. He only has 30 seconds to unlock and escape the bag before the den of sleeping vipers in the bottom of the bag wake up and make a meal of him!

Episode 4: Nibbles, distracted by the new emcee and the shining, bright lights, and the noise from the audience, mumbles a little incoherently and BAM the entire world goes topsy turvy! Unfortunately for Nibbles and the stage crew, the audience catches a glimpse of the "snakes" in the bag, along with an unexpected show!

Priscilla realizes in an instant that first off, her gorgeously groomed fur is now a mess AND the scout is never going to see her assist the big act!

Episode 5: Crashing cosmos banging bump, pulling the stage crew into a vortex of time and space. Al's glad he refilled his secret stash flask! And as most of those parts and strange pieces of metal that are flying through the air appear to have come from the team's new show bus, it's going to be a a long while before Bugsey and crew return home!

Episode 6: The crows seem restless as the warm, autumn breeze picks up, bringing with it the winds of change!

Busy with grooming her fur, waiting patiently as only a cat can, Scritch is suddenly aware of some magical vibration thrumming in the air.

Al and Priscilla start to shimmer, and the air seems "thin".

Episode 7: GASP! cried Scritch as Bugsey ran from the patch, and the two of them realize in horror that Al has been transformed inside the pumpkin!

Priscilla knows it's something with the ancient crows and their penchant for mischief. She read it once in a fashion magazine, and wonders as a second thought, why a fashion magazine would have a story about magic? But nonetheless, poor Al is stuck!

Episode 8: Shaken out of his stupor by the appearance of toads, Nibbles waves his magic wand, circling in the warm air, measuring the size of the circles, making them wider and wider, in hopes of growing Al out of the pumpkin shell.

After his final flick of the wand in it's largest arc, Al appears back to normal, if not upside down and slightly nauseated from the whole ordeal, and wonders if the pumpkin patch has a bar nearby. He needs a little nip to calm his stomach and his nerves!

Episode 9: "Well now, I don't mean to be the picky one here, but I'm feeling a little hungry! Does anyone have any money to buy some food?" asked Bugsey.

Digging into their pockets, the crew is finding nothing but lint, some chewed gum in a wrapper and three batteries.

Al's belly is rumbling as well and suggests that maybe they should take a bite of one of the pumpkins. I mean, everyone eats pumpkin pie, and pumpkin spicing all the things is a fall tradition!

Taking a small bite, and declaring it delicious, Bugsey tells the team and the feeding frenzy begins!

Episode 10: Well into the night, the stage crew is sitting around telling tall tales of urban legends, trying to scare each other. After a particularly gruesome tale of bowels and body functions, Scritch pulls off a dazzling display of body function, right there in front of everyone. And just like that, it's a puke fest, as waves of the smell of vomit hits the noses of the crew, and in turn, each barfs up pumpkin galore...

Episode 11: Staggering around the pumpkin patch, wishing for some Peppy Bissmoll, or something to calm their upset stomachs, the stage crew slowly makes their way around as the dawn of a new day crests the horizon.

Nibbles better figure out how to get them home soon!

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 12: Hanging out in the patch, a lively chorus of music comes drifting out of the nearby cornfield. Always up for a party (particularly if there's adult beverages), Al leads Bugsey and the friends closer to where the music is coming from. Priscilla, pulling out her compact, checks herself in the mirror to be sure she's pinkalicious as she can be. Who knows, someone in the band might be looking for a date!

Episode 13: Nibbles stretches out in front of the band, hoping to catch a few zzzz's (this searching for home is tiresome work!) and happens to espy a magical toad lurking behind one of the elaborately carved pumpkins. He tries to catch Al's attention to grab it before it hops away, but Al's moving and grooving, keeping a pretty good rhythm for a bulky old guy.

Scritch is watching these spectres with utter fascination, and Bugsey, having imbibed a little too much apple cider, wonders where the port a potty is? Priscilla is making eyes at the saxophonist, because everyone knows they are the hottest member of the band. In this case, since the bandmates are dead, would he be the coolest?

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 14: As the band glides off to take a break from their set, Nibbles hops over and circles the group together to fill them in on the information that the toad croaked out. They need to seek a tornado, and why anyone would want to chase a tornado is quite beyond his comprehension! Scritch points out that there are people who make a career out of this, and if she can get Bugsey to take over her position permanently, maybe she can professionally chase a tornado or two when not on the stage creating her own spectacular tricks?

Episode 15: Landing with a splash, the crew slowly gains some sense of balance to their equilibrium, and notice the serenity of the lazy river, where they were unceremoniously dumped when the trick went wrong. Al and Bugsey have found a stash of carved pumpkins littering the river bank, and wonder who could have carved these beauties, and if they live nearby? It would be nice to find someone around to figure out where they are and how to get home.

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 16: Appearing out of thin air in broad daylight, the crew notices a scurvy black galleon gliding silently down the river. Leery, the crew ducks hastily behind the pumpkins. Watching in quiet horror as it nears, they can see some less than savory looking crew members at the helm and in the crow's nest. A strange smell of rotting flesh is emanating from the ship, and Nibbles can't watch any more! Al, braver than he is smart, waves down the ship, hoping they are the carvers of the pumpkins and can give the group directions home.

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 17: And just like that! A hydra appears on the ship, the immense weight slowing and sinking the galleon to the depths below. Al hails them again, as all four heads are talking at once, asking them to stop talking for ONE MINUTE, and picks one to ask where they are.

"Why, what would it matter where you are", replied the first head, "when this place, it really is a relaxing spot"

"Look', said the second, "just because YOU like it here, not everyone does"

"Enough, you two! We're stuck getting drug along whereever you both want to go, and if they can get out of here, you need to tell them" chorused the third and fourth head, who by the established pecking order have to go where they are made to.

"FINE! We're not going to tell you where you are, but you should seek the magical toads, and they will tell you the way home" replied the first two in an eerie unison.

Episode 18: Nibbles has this weird feeling that he's stuck in that movie with Bill Furry and Andi McHowl, you know that one where they just keep reliving the same day over and over? And then with a thundering crash, bolts of lightning shoot across the sky!

Al, who grew up in the delta swamps down in the bayou, welcomes a little rain, however, the others in the group aren't fond of being out in a field with lightning.

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 19: And the rains just kept raining, and the mud seemed to come alive, shifting and swallowing the pumpkins and now the crew... Even Al's a little distraught, something just brushed his leg.....

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 20: And as quickly as it started to rain, the sun came out and dried up all the rain! Nibbles and Bugsey found an old towel and started to wipe down the mud from their fur. Priscilla, on the other hand, dialed up her spa. It was going to take nothing short of a miracle to pink up her pinkalicious fur to it's glorious shine again.

Nibbles, as unconcerned about everything as always, listens closely to a far off frog chirping away, and he thinks it is saying something about finding a tornado. Now, why would he want to find a tornado? he barely survived a rain storm! Let's face it, nobody wants to go around with a wet hare....

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 21: Nibbles, while passing gas, muttered "Excuse me" but mumbled a little too much, and the crew finds themselves magically transported from the pumpkin patch to the house they needed to find, as Bugsey points out, there's the tornado!

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 22: Bugsey decides that before the crew can head home that a trip to the bathroom would be a good idea, since no one knows if will take a long time to get there.

Scritch, the ever curious cat, discovers..... what are they.... hanging from the rafters...



Did that one m-m-m-move?

Episode 23: Focusing as if his life depended on it, and it actually MIGHT, Nibbles raises his magic wand and with a blinding shot of light, he transforms the Zommie Bears into gummie bears! Al, never one to shy away from trying anything at least once, takes a big old bite out of the brown one. Priscilla threw up in her mouth a little.

Scritch mentions that maybe they should head out quickly and find that tornado again, in case the spell wears off, contemplating the outcome if the bear that Al ate comes back to life to eat him from the inside out.....

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 24: With absolutely no conjuring on his part, Nibbles is shocked to find a tornado spinning wildly in the middle of the room. Calling Bugsey and the team together, he dives headfirst into the whirling dervish, and with a final flick of his wand, tethers the house magically to follow them home.

Bugsey is questing!
Episode 25: Alas, home sweet home! Once Bugsey clears out the Zommie Bears (even if they are edible) and adds some homey decorations, it's time for a nice long nap!

Nibbles and the rest of the stage crew are making plans for their new and improved show, and Bugsey thinks maybe it'll be better to sit the next one out. So Bugsey toddles off back to their My Pets Page to find a replacement pet for the next big adventure!
