"Ok. He's gone. The coast is clear."

A very odd looking tree nearby uprooted itself from the ground and lit its top on fire. This tree looked strange; its head resembled a crown and it had two holes in its body. When it lit itself on fire, the holes were filled with a blue flame, making them have a strong resemblance to eyes. It was wearing a golden badge with a picture of a leaf on it. On the back of the badge was written: C.C.

"So, have we gathered enough information for now?" asked the green Peashooter. She was wearing a cape and wore the same golden badge the tree was wearing, but with G.S written on the back.

"Yes. Penelope, Sunny, you two go back and give future David the daily report. I will continue spying."

"Yes, Captain," replied Sunny. She was a sunflower with goggles and the same Leaf Symbol on her chest.

So the Captain rooted himself back into the ground and Sunny and Penelope disappeared into a nearby recreational vehicle.

Edgar arrived at the tree before Dave did, so he just sat down and started reading a science book. Dave later arrived, and when he saw Edgar reading he asked...

"What's that book you're reading?"

Edgar looked up and replied, "That talking tree is really interesting. I've been trying to study robotics, and I've been thinking maybe I could build a robot like that tree, or maybe like one of those weird shaped plants over there," Edgar pointed towards the strangely shaped pea plants, sunflowers, and flytraps.

"My dad has actually been working to get all of those plants to walk, talk and do things," said Dave. "He's saying in about 8 years he'll probably get all the plants to be like real humans too, with emotions and minds and everything. Kind of like the Tree of Wisdom."

Edgar looked at the plants with an intrigued expression on his face. "Can I stay here for a bit and study these plants? Maybe there's something interesting in one of them that can help me create my robots."

Dave looked at him, concerned. "Please don't cut open the Tree of Wisdom," at this the Tree of Wisdom gasped and Edgar laughed. "Don't worry, I'm just going to look at them." Dave smiled and headed home.

"There he is. Looks like he's taking notes." The Captain took off his binoculars and Penelope and Sunny appeared out of the same RV. "Is it time, sir?" asked Sunny. "Yes. Get in position, Penelope and Sunny," replied the Captain. He rooted himself to the ground and extinguished his fire, appearing as a regular tree. Sunny rooted herself to the ground, and Penelope sat on a branch on the Tree of Wisdom.

"On my command," the Captain said through a walkie-talkie.

Edgar was inspecting one of the flytrap plants' teeth, not noticing anything happening around him.

"Now!"

Edgar whirled around to see what was going on when it happened. Penelope shot out a huge pea from her mouth and hit Edgar. He fell to the ground. Edgar was terrified, and he tried to run before the Captain lit himself back on fire and blocked his path. Nowhere to go. Sunny fired a beam of blazing hot sunlight at Edgar's head, melting all of his hair and some of the top of his head.

"David's coming. Retreat to the RV!" shouted the Captain, and just like that the murderous plants disappeared, leaving only Edgar lying unconscious under the Tree

of Wisdom.

A quiet tune rung, signaling that something had been recorded to the Almanac.
