BRYSON hey, don’t be too down, cuz, because i brought that thing for… the plan. CRAIG you mean— BRYSON operation cooldown! CRAIG operation cooldown! CRAIG oh man! how’d you get a hose like this!? BRYSON our neighbor – who’s a fireman – got fired, and he was just giving it away! he said it reminded him of all the mistakes in his life. CRAIG it’s beautiful. mom! we’re going to the creek!

JP a wizard!!!! KELSEY a wizard!!!! CRAIG horse girls! you’re here! alright, let’s get this plan started… i’ve located a point equidistant from everyone’s homes. by calculating hose length and taking water pressure into consideration, i came up with the perfect way to beat the summer heat! CRAIG let’s get drenched! KELSEY hya! hya! hya! CANNONBALL cannonball! that’s my name, not what i was doin’. CRAIG say “butt!” huh? the water stopped… what happened? BRYSON hey, craig! over here! CRAIG oh no. there must be a bend in one of the hoses. BRYSON uhh… which one? there’s like a billion of ’em! CRAIG well, it looks like a tangled mess, but it’s just one hose twisted around. if we just follow the empty line… ah-hah!! ’kay, let’s just pull this out— uwahh!! JP craig! KELSEY craig! KELSEY hey buddy! you alright up there? CRAIG yeah… i’m alright! CRAIG fireworks? CRAIG you guys! i think something big’s going on the other side of the creek! BRYSON the what? CRAIG it could be dangerous. we better go talk to the green poncho. BRYSON the what?! KELSEY the green poncho is the guardian of the overpass. he protects our side of the creek from the king on the other side. BRYSON this other side has a king? like a british dude? GREEN PONCHO the king is a spoiled tyrant. BRYSON wah!! GREEN PONCHO he uses his wealth of candy to make kids do what he wants, play how he wants them to play. he makes sure nobody says otherwise. CRAIG we saw some fireworks coming from the other side. GREEN PONCHO i saw them as well. they’re to signal a tournament held every year for the king’s birthday. he invites his subjects to compete in vicious games for a chance to win his old presents from last year. it’s pretty messed. but the prizes are pretty cool. check it out. JP wow, a make-a-cake oven?! KELSEY wow, singing boxing glo-o-o-o-o-oves from steven universe! BRYSON wow, what a hat! what? i’m trying to be a hat person. CRAIG whoa, guys, look at this! power punchers hd ultimate remix!!! me and my dad play the original all the time! but this one’s got like fifty new characters and only forty- five are palette swaps! this would be the perfect present for my dad. so much better than bernard’s watch. BRYSON cuz, let’s go get it! CRAIG i dunno. it’s pretty dangerous over there. GREEN PONCHO and the king is after craig’s map, trying to get intel on our side of the creek. walking into his territory isn’t the best idea. BRYSON wait, are you serious? what’s this guy ruling over? trees? leaves? it’s just one kid! we’re about to go in there four kids deep. BRYSON we’ll go compete in some games… win the prizes… and bounce outta there before dinner. then your dad will be like “my son craig is the greatest! bryson, wanna stay over for this weekend and play the game with us?” and i’ll be like “of course, uncle d. even brought my own controller.” it’s fate. CRAIG what do you think, omar— i mean green poncho? GREEN PONCHO uhh, that power punchers game does look pretty sick… okay, but you guys have to keep a low profile. no one can recognize you. KELSEY uh, i dunno, you may have to sit this one out, mortimor. stay with the green poncho. help him prevent anyone coming from the other side. CRAIG alright! let’s get those presents! ACORN KNIGHT up-bup-bup-bup-bup! hit the bricks, kevin! no randos are allowed to compete in the tournament. BRYSON woah, they got costumes? this is… organized. KELSEY yep. each costume is for a different rank. there go the acorn knights, some cherry blossoms… JP and i’m not sure what that guy is. but i like his flaps. KELSEY we are not getting in there without costumes! CRAIG don’t worry. we’ve got some friends on the inside… SHAWN you won’t be a rando! RAJ you won’t be in danger!

CRAIG it’s okay… i think i saw enough of the maze from the bucket to figure a way out. uh… c’mon! CRAIG uh… left! right! left! another left! now it should be just a straight shot to the exit! ah nooo!! CRAIG ugh! we shouldn’t have come here. the king has a picture of my map and i’m gonna miss my dad’s surprise party… not that it matters because i don’t even have a present for him besides that dumb card i made. i’m sorry, you guys. BRYSON nah, this is on me. you guys were all like “it’s dangerous!” but i was like “i want a hat.” and honestly, i shoulda listened to y’all ’cause these kids were wylin’! if we ever do get out of here, i’m sure your dad will love the card you give him, because you always make great things. whether it’s a birthday card, or making a bunch of hoses into a cool water fountain! CRAIG the hoses! they looked like a tangled mess, but it was really one hose twisted around! the maze is the same thing! one tangled line! CRAIG the exit connects to this entrance, so if we just keep to one side and follow it all the way, we’ll get out! CRAIG wait! spikes ahead! CRAIG yeah! CRAIG look! it’s a huge pile of brownies! KELSEY pfft, what an obvious trap! CRAIG yeah, it’s clearly just a distraction to play on our hunger! JP oh-ho-ho! CRAIG jp! didn’t you hear us all agree it’s a trap!? JP relax, brownies are a grab and go snack. i’m just gonna grab one and go— ahhhh! brownie monster i just want a grab and go snack!! CRAIG hands on the wall! hands on the wall! CRAIG we made it out! THE BLUR well, well, well… i was blurried for a second, but you all actually made it out of the maze. THE SQUASHINATOR too bad for you, the king left us here as an insurance policy. prepare to fight— THE SQUASHINATOR dinner time!? THE BLUR dinner time!? THE BLUR chili dogs! gotta go home! THE SQUASHINATOR yah! yah! CRAIG i’m coming home, father. GREEN PONCHO hey!! how’d it go!!? CRAIG we won the tournament, but the king caught us and took a picture of my map! we’ll talk later! GREEN PONCHO okay… wait, what!? CRAIG we made it! NICOLE surprise!!! BERNARD aw, it’s just craig! NICOLE are you kidding me!? everybody reset! places, people, places! jp, where is your shirt?

KELSEY and bruises! BRYSON man, we sure were lucky to make it home in time. sorry about your map though. KELSEY now that the king has a picture of your map, it’s only a matter of time before he makes his move to take over our side of the creek. CRAIG i don’t know when or where the king will strike, but when he does… we will be ready for him. [Type text]0[Type text]0[Type text]
