[Pinecone] "It's a Pony Thing."

Check this out, Pony.

[yells, grunts]

Hit me with a score, pal.

One neigh means "Good." And two
neighsmeans, "Is she a professional?"

Pony? Where are you?

[whinnying]

Ah, there you are, Pony. It's almost time.
Ah, there you are, Pony. It's almost time.

I have prepared a fabulous habitatfor
our soon-to-be lunar butterfly…

[whinnies]

[Greymoon laughs]…whom
you've aptly named Whinny.

[chuckles] I believe she's almost
readyfor her big transformation.

[whinnies]

Now, here's a perfect spot for her.
Cool, shady, and away from the sun.

[snorts]

Aha! Found ya.[pants, blusters]

Oh. [Chuckles] Pinecone.
What an electric entrance.

Hey, Greymoon. Hey,
Pony.[whinnies]

I've been looking all over for
ya. What have you been up to, pal?

Well, you'll be excited to learnthat
Whinny here is hatching today.

And I've made Ponymy
official cocoon caretaker.

You did?

Is that good?

Well, yes. He's goingto watch over it for me all day.
Well, yes. He's goingto watch over it for me all day.

He is? All day? A cocoon?

[Greymoon] Oh, this
is no ordinary cocoon.

It will hatch intothe
exceptionally rare lunar butterfly.

Which is said to glowas
brilliantly as the moon.

Now, we just need to close
upthese blackout curtains

to keep her habitat
nice and dark, and...

Oh, my stars.

Glowworm holes. They always
eat through my best things.

But I must admitthey do
have excellent taste.

Hmm. Well, I'm going to haveto
buy new curtains in town.

Pony, you'll stay here
and keep watch, won't you?

[snorts]

Oh, thank you.

And remember, lunar butterfliesare
nighttime animals and prefer the dark.

If the metamorphosis transpires while
I'mgone, try to keep her well-shaded. Hmm?

I bid you good day.
I bid you good day.

[scoffs] I always ruin my dramaticexit
spell by forgetting my hat. Good day.

[snorts]-Don't worry, pal.

I'll find a way to get
you out of this.[snorts]

I can't leave you to
watcha boring old cocoon,

when I know the last
thing you'd want to do

is miss out on all the cool stuffl
have planned for us. Am I right?

[whinnies]-Am I right?

[echoing] Am I right?

[whinnies, snorts]

Do I know my best
friend or what?

We've got one-armed
push-ups to practice,

and we can finally explorethat
cave down by the swamp.

It looks super dark, and I think a
ghoulmight live in it. Isn't that awesome?

[whinnies]

Oh. You don't wanna
letGreymoon down, do you?

[blusters]

Well, you won't have to,

'cause I'm gonna find youthe
perfect replacement cocoon sitter.

I wonder why Greymoon would thinkyou'd want this job anyway.
I wonder why Greymoon would thinkyou'd want this job anyway.

[groans]

Hey, Pony. Check out this frog.

His non-blinking eyes say, "I
won't let you out of my sight."

[trills, croaks]

[slurps]

[whinnies]

[croaks]

[snorts]-[trills]

[squeals]

Right.[croaks]

Frogs eat bugs.[whinnies]

We'll find a different
sitter.[snorts]

[Pinecone] Okay.

Who would make a better
cocoonbabysitter than another cocoon?

[sighs]

So, maybethe whole babysitter
thing isn't working.

But don't give up yet, 'cause I've
gotone last idea, and it's genius.

[snorts]

[snores] [snores]

I've come up with a solutionto
solve all of our problem. [Pants]

[whinnies]

A cocoon alarm.

Now you can watch the
cocoonwithout watching it.

If it starts to hatch, the branchwill
shake, and the alarm will sound.

This is what we in the problem-solving
bizlike to call a real win-win.

Or in this case, a really
whinny-whinny. [Laughs]

[snorts]

Don't worry. I know Whinny needs
shade. I thought of that too.

[snorts, whinnies]

There.

You are doing everything
Greymoon asked,

so there's no reasonwe
can't go have fun together.

[echoing] Isn't that great?

[groans]

[sighs] I was starting to
think I was gonna let you down.

And then what kind
of friend would I be?

[Pinecone] Eighteen… [pants] …19… 20.
[Pinecone] Eighteen… [pants] …19… 20.

Check this out, Pony.
I'm getting so huge.

[sighs]

You don't have to
stare at the bell, pal.

It'll ringwhen the
cocoon starts to hatch.

Twenty-one. Twenty-two.

[birds cawing]

[sighs]-[pants]
Seventy-three. [Grunts]

Seventy-four. [Grunts]

[pants] Seventy-four. Exactly
how many I meant to do.

Did you see that, Pony?

Pony, how come you're so worried?
The alarm is super secure.

[rings]-See?

Hmm. Seems a bit loose.

[whinnies]

[Pinecone] Uh-oh.

Don't panic, but I think my foolproofalarm
might have been fooled a bit.

[squeals, whinnies]-[gasps]

- Oh, no. We missed it.-[sighs]
- Oh, no. We missed it.[sighs]

Sorry, pal.

At least you don't have
towatch it anymore, right?

[growls]

[snorts]

Did you just snap
a twig?[snorts]

Are you upset with me?

[whinnies, snorts]

But I-I didn't think you
wanted to watch the cocoon.

I-I thought you wanted
to hang with me.

Hello, habitat! [Laughs]

[scoffs] A perfect
entrance wasted.

We missed the hatching.

And it's all my fault.[squeals]

Oh, my. Oh, that
is disappointing.

Especially for Pony,

who spent so much time visiting
Whinnywhen she was a caterpillar.

He did?

[Greymoon] On all your morning walks.
[Greymoon] On all your morning walks.

Pony, check this out. [Grunts]

[grunts] Pony. Pony.
Check this out, Pony.

[snorts]

Check this out, Pony.

We usually do everything
together.[sighs]

But all that time you had your own
thing, and I didn't even notice.

I'm sorry, pal.

I think we'd better find Whinny andget
her back to the dark of her habitat.

Too much sunlight makes lunar
butterfliesfeel weak and disoriented.

But how will we
find her?[whinnies]

She could be anywhere.[whinnies]

[sniffing]

[snorts, sniffs]

[whinnies]

[sniffs, grunts]

He's got something.[Pony
galloping]

[squeals, whinnies]

- [giggles]-[snorts]
- [giggles]-[snorts]

[sniffs, snorts]

[whinnies]

[growls]-[squeals]

Oh. [Sighs]-[sighs]

Wrong smell, huh? I know how
much you care about her, pal.

[whinnies]

Just think. Where would
Whinny like to go?

[whinnies]

I'm sorry, Pony.

I can't believel was trying
to get you to do push-ups

and go explore the dark
cavewhen you really want...

[whinnying]

Yes! I knew you'd figure it out.

[pants] Where are we going?

The dark cave. And
Whinny loves the dark.

Pony, you're a genius. [Echoing]

[whinnies]

M-Maybe we should go
lookin other dark places?

[snorts]

Ah.

[whinnies echoing]

[snorts]

[snorts]

[whinnies]

[whinnies]

Wow. She's amazing,
Pony. [Laughs]-[whinnies]

[sighs, whinnies][chirps]

I can see why you were so
interestedin getting to know her.

[chirps]-[whinnies]

You're right, pal. We better
get her out of the sun.

Let's take you home.

Ah, you found her.[chirping]

Pinecone, care to stayand
watch Whinny with us?

It's supposed to cloud over later, so
she might be able to come out to play.

Thanks, but I thinkl'll let
Pony stay and do his thing.

It's okay if we don'tdo everything together.
It's okay if we don'tdo everything together.

Mmm. A sign of a
solid friendship.

Hey, Pony. What do you say

we split up for the rest of the
afternoonto do our own things

and meet up laterto do
some together things?

[whinnies]

Great. I'm off to practicemy
vaulting some more.

Check you later.

[grunts]

[gasps] Is she a
professional?[squeals]

[whinnies]

[sighs]-[chirps]

[Hawthorn] "Hawthorn
the Adventurer."

I can't believeyou're going
on your very first quest.

[snorts]-Aren't you so excited?

Like, so, so, so excited?

[giggling]-Uh… yeah, sure.

All Wiz Kids have to
completethis quest at some point.

It's been that way
for generations.

Is it true that when you get to the end, you have to sign a huge rock?
Is it true that when you get to the end, you have to sign a huge rock?

Yep. One-eyed Rock.

Ooh. Why is it called that?

Maybe the shape.

All I know is I have to make it
therebefore sundown for the quest to count.

And I really need it to count, becausel'm
the last one in my class to do it.

[trilling]

Good idea, Blaise. An
extra cloak couldn't hurt.

Greymoon said this quest was all
aboutproving one's resourcefulness.

So I did a ton of researchon
questing, the Fearsome Forest,

and questing in the
Fearsome Forest.

I wanna be prepared
for anything.

That's great and all, Hawth. But
questing isn't about what's in there.

It's about what's in here
and here. And here and here.

[kisses]

I'm confused.

Real adventurers follow
their instincts.[grunts]

- They act fast. They run faster.-[whinnies]
- They act fast. They run faster.[whinnies]

Adventurers are
brave and strong.

Ooh. I meant to pack that
one. [Grunts]-[grunts]

Look, I get what you're
saying, but I really think...

Don't think. Feel.

I'm not much of a feeler.

That's why I'm coming along. To show
youthe ropes of being an adventurer.

[sighs] Thanks, Pinecone.
I appreciate it.

No problemo.[whinnies]

I've beenon tons of
quests with my parents.

One time, my mom and
I…-Okay, let's see.

Clothing for all types
of weather. Check.

Map. Check. Rope.
Check.Binoculars. Check.

Tiny binoculars for
Blaise. Check.[croaks]

Oops. I almost forgot. A tuna
sandwich in case we get hungry.

[trills]

So, you ready for some questing?

Maybe I should pack a few more booksor an extra umbrella o-or...
Maybe I should pack a few more booksor an extra umbrella o-or...

You're gonna be fine, Hawth.
You're a born adventurer. Like me.

[sighs]

Besides, so many Wiz Kidshave
done this quest before you,

and most of themmade
it back in one piece.

You go on ahead.

Just in case.

Come on, Hawth.
Put the map away.

We can follow our instincts.

I don't know.

Our instincts won't know ifsomething
unexpected is going to happen.

That's what makes it
so unexpected.[trills]

Let adventure be your guide.
Go where the spirits takes you.

- Leap before you...
- [shrieks]-[gasps] Look out!

[whinnies]-[grunts]

[panting]-Didn't see that there.

[groans]-I did.
It was on the map.

Right.

So, what do you think?
Should we climb down?

Uh… [chuckles] …there
must be another way.

Maybe I could build
a rope bridge?

Or…

We could swing over it!

What?[whinnies]

Yeah![shudders]

Whoo-hoo! [Grunts]

You could have been hurt.

Is this what adventurers do?

[chuckles] Your turn.
[Grunts]-[whinnies]

Oh. [Sighs]

[shudders]

We can find another route.

Ah, come on. Don't
be scared, Hawth.

I'm not scared.
I'm being careful.

Ticktock. Time's
a-wasting, Hawth.

If you don't finish
this quest by sundown,

you'll still be the only
Wiz Kidwho hasn't done it.

Okay, okay.

Maybe I do need to
be more adventurous.

[chuckling]

Whoo-hoo! [Grunts]

Whoa.[croaks]

See? I knew ya
could do it.[grunts]

I guess my advicereally
rubbed off on ya. [Chuckles]

That's, uh... That's great.

Right, Pony?[neighs]

Yeah. I feel full of
adventurous spirit.

Hi-yah![croaks]

[whinnies][croaks]

[panting] Now
let's get questing!

Whoo-hoo! Yeah.[grunts]

Huh?

Hey.

[grunting, strains]

[grunts]

[pants, sighs]-[snorts]

[trills]

[chuckles] Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
[chuckles] Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

[whimpers]-[whinnies]

Hmm.

Hey!

[chuckles]

[yelps, chuckles]-[growls]

[sighs] We could have
made itacross the stream

without waking up a
river guardian, you know?

[snorts]-[scoffs]

We've got to make it to
One-eyed Rockbefore sundown.

Sure, but we can stillbe
careful sometimes. And...

Sounds like someone is
missingthe adventurous spirit.

Hey. I thought this quest was
aboutproving your "resource-less-ness,"

or whatever you said.
What about that?

All the great stuff you packedreally
came in handy today, Hawth.

Real adventurers
don't need stuff.

They need instinct, speed,
bravery, and strength.

[grunts, strains]

Oh, yeah!

[snorts]

What's... What's wrong with you?

I'm just in quest mode.

[sniffs, shudders]

[sniffs] There's something upwith
that sweatband, isn't there?

No, no. Just a little somethingl
picked up from Wandful Stuff

to make me more adventurous.

Wandful Stuff? That weird
magic store in town?

[shudders] That place
gives me the creeps.

[chuckles] Now
who sounds scared?

[sighs] Scared for you.

I think you shouldtake
that thing off. Now.

Uh-uh. Don't think. Just feel.

I'm serious, Hawthorn.
It's making you act weird.

Plus, it stinks.

[grunts, groans]-[Hawthorn
chuckles]

[Pinecone groans]-I need
it to finish the quest.

You don't! Take it off.

Make me. [Yelps]-[gasps]

[whinnies]-[Pinecone, Hawthorn
grunting]-[whinnies]-[Pinecone, Hawthorn grunting]

[whinnies]-[groans]

We're okay, pal.
Don't you worry.

Huh? One-eyed Rock.

I did it. I-I-I
completed the quest.

Oh. I get it. It's called One-eyed
Rock'cause of the big eye on it.

[gasps]

[farts]

A big eye that opens.

[roaring]-Hide!

Hawthorn, what are you doing?

I'm gonna fight the cyclops.
Classic quest stuff.

I don't know what you think
"classic" is, but that's not it.

Look, I'm sorry I made you feellike
you're not adventurous enough.

You are. In your own way. A
way that we need right now

because the Hawthorn I know would know
what to do when facing a giant cyclops.

[roaring continues]-[shrieks]

[grunts]

[roars]

[sighs] If Hawthorn isn't going to be
the Hawthorn, then I'll have to be.

Let's see. Traveling cloak, trail mix,
pixie repellent. Oh, what can I use?

[Hawthorn] Oh, yeah.
Uh-huh.[whinnies]

Oh, oh. Oh, yeah.[roars]

I'm not scared of you,
cyclops.[blows raspberry]

Come on, Clopsy. Let's
see what you're made of.

[growls]-Oh. [Groans]

[screams]

Help! Help! Let me go!

Oh, no! Pinecone!

Hawthorn, run! Save
Pony and Blaise.

Okay. What do I
do? What do I do?

I can't think with
this thing on.

[grunts, sighs]
Whoa. That's better.

[sniffing] Oh... Is that
smellcoming from me?

Where's my backpack?

[sighs] Thanks, you two.[snorts]

[screams, grunts]
It's not funny.[roars]

[grunts] Stop it. [Yells]

[whinnies]-Where is it?
[Grunts] Where is it?

[chuckles] Tuna on rye!

You're taking a lunch break now?

I'm not, but he is.

[grunts, screams]

[grunts]

All cyclopes love tuna. It's
involume four of my En-cyclops-pedia.

Oh, Hawth. I'm so glad
you're back.[trills]

[snorts, whinnies]

You did it, Hawthorn.
And just before sundown.

How do you feel?

Tired and thirsty.

[sniffing] And stinky.

But I thinkthat's mostly the sweatband's fault.
But I thinkthat's mostly the sweatband's fault.

Next quest, maybe
leave it at home?

I like your adventuring
style as is.

I like yours too.
We make a good team.

So, you ready for
the journey home?

You know it.

But you wouldn't happen to haveany
more of those sandwiches, would ya?

Turkey, tuna, or egg salad.

How you like me now?

[giggles] Don't
go changing, pal.
