I decided to keep Epic Edventure for memories and so people could read it, but remember: it's a seperate continuity from this teen series.
Anyway, here's episode 2!!!
Episode #2: Eds Gone Wild
The students of Peach Creek Jr. High are on a field trip to the zoo, where peacocks run loose. Sarah, Jimmy, Kyle and Zoe, all wearing animal hats, follow their teacher through various exhibits.
"Look at those graceful grazers!" Jimmy says at the Savanna exhibit full of antelope, zebras and ostriches.
"Reminds me when I lived back at Pomelo Beach!" Kyle exclaims at the Seashore exhibit full of crabs, shells, starfish and other seashore denizens.
"Those birds are so colorful!" Sarah points at the parrots, toucans and hornbills in the Jungle exhibit.
"Big cats ROCK!" Zoe exclaims at the lion and tiger cages, about to jump in but Kyle stops her. The class stops at the amphitheater to watch a show.
"Take seats, class!" their teacher instructs, and all the students except Zoe do so.
"Lemme take a whiz first, Ms. Daly." Zoe goes off to the bathroom as the show begins. 2 zookepers come onstage with megaphones and a monkey.
"HEY, EVERYONE! HOW ARE YA'LL DOIN TODAY?!" one of them asks, and the audience cheers and whoops.
"Wonderful!" the other says. "Today, we're doin some 'monkey business' with our friend here, Winston!" everyone cheers for Winston. "But for our 1st act, we need a kid to volunteer! Who wants to come up?"
"OH, OH!! ME, PICK ME!!" Jimmy jumps, waving his arms.
"Ok, you over there! Come on up!" the zookeepers call Jimmy up.
Meanwhile, Zoe finishes in the bathroom. "Better get back to the..."
Zoe's adventurous eyes are caught by the elephant exhibit across from her. "Most WICKED!" she shouts, and sneaks to the elephant enclosure through the back. Inside, she stealthily sneaks past the feeding elephants and climbs up a tree. One of the elephants passes under it...
"YAHOO!!" Zoe drops onto the elephant's back, suprising him and he honks in alarm. "Let's go for a ride, buddy! Yip yip!"
She pulls on the elephant's ears to get him moving, but causes him pain instead. The elephant romps around in agony, blindly ramming into other elephants and through the enclosure's wall, starting mayhem as all the crazed elephants charge out into other parts of the zoo.
At the monkey show, everyone hears the rampaging elephants.
"What the?..." Kyle sees one of the elephants storming into the amphitheater. "WHOA!!"
"TAKE COVER, KIDS!!" Ms. Daly and the other teachers jump away with their students to dodge the elephant as it runs through the seat rows.
"AAAAAHHH!!!" Jimmy and the 2 zookeepers scream, their performance with Winston interrupted as they take cover to dodge the elephant smashing into the stage. Winston scampers away.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Sarah asks as she looks up... and sees the elephants storming all over the zoo, smashing and destroying cages & exhibits, releasing the animals inside them. They join the elephants in attacking and throwing around zoo-goers and zookeepers.
"GUYS, WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE NOW!" Kyle shouts as he helps Jimmy offstage, and Sarah joins them to escape the zoo with their class. Once they're on the street, goats and llamas seperate the students and teachers.
"Wait, where's Zoe?!" Jimmy asks, and Sarah's & Kyle's eyes bug out. They see a STAMPEDE of antelope, deer, zebras, giraffes, ostriches, other birds, hippos, hogs, tapirs, llamas, camels and elephants thundering out of the zoo towards them!!!
Sarah and Kyle leap away in time, but Jimmy is caught in the middle and tossed about. "JIMMY!!!" Sarah screams as the stampede takes Jimmy away.
"Sarah, we got company!" Kyle points at an angry rhino, his eyes dead-set on him and Sarah. He charges!
"Stand back, Kyle!" Sarah braces herself.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!! YOU CAN'T FIGHT A RHINOCEROS!!" Kyle tries warning Sarah, but she ignores. She grabs the rhino's horn once he reaches her, but she's quickly outmatched and is soon hanging onto the horn for dear life.
"KYLE, DO SOMETHING!!!" Sarah screams as the rhino flings her into the sky, then looks at Kyle.
"Um... Easy, big dude!......" Kyle runs screaming, the rhino close behind. Sarah falls back down and grabs onto the rhino's tail, hanging on as the beast chases Kyle. In the stampede...
"HELP, SOMEBODY!!!" Jimmy screams as the animals toss him about, but he eventually lands safely atop a hippo. "Whew, what a ride!"
"I know, right?!" Zoe calls from atop a giraffe as it passes by Jimmy & the hippo. She reaches for Jimmy and lifts him onto the giraffe with her. "This is so much fun!"
"You call this FUN?!" Jimmy asks.
"Just sit back and enjoy the thrill ride while it lasts! I'll apologize to everyone later!" Zoe says, returning to enjoying herself.
"... Apologize?..." Jimmy asks suspiciously as he and Zoe ride atop the stampede. Meanwhile, other zoo animals wreak havoc across the surrounding towns, including Peach Creek.
Zoo birds soar above the cul-de-sacs as a female goat wanders into Rolf's farm, where Rolf is busily feeding the chickens. The cows and Julian are eating hay while Fido the sheepdog watches over the sheep herd.
Victor, Wilfred, and a female pig named Meggy are drinking water. Victor's horns have grown longer and curved back. Wilfred hasn't changed. Meggy is white with black patches and a pink nose.
"Why must Rolf always carry out Papa's orders of domestic duty?" Rolf mumbles as he feeds the chickens, while the female goat passes behind him. Victor looks up and sees her... and is instantly smitten! He calls out to the female goat, who looks at him. But then she prances away, and so Victor jumps the fence to chase after her. In the meantime, Rolf finishes feeding the chickens and sees that Victor disappeared.
"Victor... Victor, show yourself this instant..... VICTOR!" Rolf searches the farm, but can't find Victor. "He's gone. Rolf must utilize the Perch of the Hawk's Eye."
Rolf sits on the Perch of the Hawk's Eye, a mechanical chair near the shed. He pulls a lever on it, which raises the chair about 50 feet in the air. From his high position (hence the chair's name), Rolf uses a telescope to search the neighborhood for Victor, but he's nowhere to be found.
"A dire emergency, Rolf has. Summon assistance, I must!" Rolf lowers the chair, picks up Meggy and yanks her tail like a string, making her SQUUUEEEAAAL in pain. This acts as an emergency call that summons the Eds to the farm.
"An emergency, Rolf? What happened?" Double-D asks.
"Rolf has summoned you here today to aid Rolf in his search for the runaway Victor." Rolf explains.
"Victor ran away?" Ed and Double-D ask in shock.
"YES! MUST ROLF REPEAT EVERYTHING?!" Rolf regains his composure. "We shall split the search into 3: Rolf will search down the lane, through the Woods of Unforgivingness, and over the Summits of Waste. Pheasant Tail (Ed) will search the park, the cul-de-sacs, and down the street to the Shop of Sugary Sweetness. Turkey Eyes (Double-D) will search the opposite way, past the Middle Dungeon of Education, and around the High Dungeon of Education. And lastly, Nincompoop (Eddy) will remain here, watch over the livestock, and milk the cows in the process."
"Aye-aye, boss!" Ed affirms.
"Why do I gotta watch the animals?" Eddy protests.
"Do not challenge Rolf's authority, Nincompoop." Rolf warns. "Now MOVE OUT! WILFRED AND MEGGY, COME WITH ROLF!"
Rolf (with the pigs) and Ed begin the search, while Eddy grumbles: "Why the hell am I still a damn Nincompoop after working 3 months?"
"I believe it's due to your unyielding hatred for all that is feathery, Eddy." Double-D answers, indicating Rolf's chickens. "Now excuse me, I must be getting to the search."
Eddy is left alone on the farm. "Why did I let Monobrow and Super Chin sweet-talk me into this stupid job? All this dirty work ain't even worth 65 bucks a week."
Just as he starts milking the cows, he hears monkey noises...
"Huh?..." Eddy looks around, then sees Fido barking up a tree. "Fido? What is it, boy?"
Fido growls at something in the tree. Eddy goes and looks up, seeing Winston the monkey!
"Whoa, it's that show monkey Winston!" Eddy jumps with glee, and he thinks of something: "If I can get my hands on him and keep him for a while, he'll make me a fortune!"
Eddy climbs up to get Winston, but Winston heads further up. Eddy follows, but then Winston descends onto a thin branch, so when Eddy follows him, the branch snaps and Eddy falls and hits his head. Winston jumps out of the tree and onto the lane's fence, laughing at Eddy. Fido barks at Winston, who makes faces at Fido before jumping to the opposite fence.
"Why you little..." Eddy grumbles, preparing to chase Winston. But remembering he can't leave Rolf's farm, he makes a cardboard standee of himself as a substitute before chasing Winston down the lane: "COME BACK, WE CAN MAKE MONEY!"
Nazz's doorbell rings, and she opens it to see Ed: "Nazz, you seen Victor anywhere 2 minutes ago?"
"No. Sorry Ed." Nazz answers, and Ed leaves. Nazz then goes through her living room to a connecting nursery (added during the timeskip), where several toddlers play with toys and games.
"Here's your nuts, Tommy and Timmy!" she gives 2 bags of nuts to twin brothers. "Remember to eat em at the little table!"
"Yes, Mommy Nazz!" the twins eat at a little table in the back of the room. Then a girl complains: "It's stuffy in here, Mommy Nazz."
"Then I'll let in some fresh air!" Nazz opens up the room's windows. Then she hears the phone ringing.
"Excuse me a minute, kids!" Nazz rushes to the living room to answer one of 2 phones: "Van Bartonschmeer Babysitting & Daycare Service! How may I help you?"
In the nursery, the toddlers see a talking parrot on the window: "Hey, those nuts ya got there?" he asks the twins, then calls out to more zoo birds flying above. When Nazz returns...
"Ok, kids! It's time for- AAAH!!" Nazz sees a flock of parrots, toucans and hornbills squabbling against the toddlers for the twins' nuts, with lots of squawking, screaming and pecking. "NO NO NO, GET OFF!!"
She tries throwing the birds off the toddlers, only to get attacked herself. "OW, AAH!!" she gets pecked and wing-slapped until she's knocked to the floor. The talking parrot, perched on a coat-hanger, laughs.
"Hahaha! Ya may be hot, tuts, but ya don't seem too bright cause that was pathetic!" he mocks.
"Shouldn't you be at the zoo or somethin?" Nazz asks.
"We got out, dumb blondie; it's all over the news!" the parrot answers. "We're free and can do whatever we want now! So make yourself useful and bring some nuts n fruit for me and my peeps."
Victor amorously chases the female goat through the woods, but she rebuffs all of Victor's advances. As he calls out to her again, he hears Rolf in the distance...
"Victor!... Oh, Victor..." Rolf is riding a cart pulled by Wilfred and Meggy, so Victor lays low to avoid being seen. Then he hears the pigs' sqeals and a ROAR!
"WHOA!!" Rolf leaps off the cart to dodge a lion's claws, and immediately pulls a staff from his pocket via hammerspace. Wilfred and Meggy run for cover as a tiger jumps behind Rolf and ROARS! The 2 cats circle Rolf: "Quite a predicament, this is. But some of Rolf's ancestors fought in the Roman Colisseum! Their warblood flows through Rolf's vessels, SO COME UNTO ME, FELINES!!!"
The lion-tiger duo attacks, and Rolf quickly dodges and attacks with his staff. He whacks the tiger into a tree and rips the lion's mane, making him SCREAM! Victor runs off as Rolf grabs the lion's tail, swings him at the tiger, then throws him away. But the tiger lunges at Rolf, sending them tumbling down into the junkyard. The tiger breaks Rolf's staff and rips his shirt off, but Rolf still fights bare-handed. The lion dives down to ambush Rolf, but Rolf ducks and the lion crashes into the tiger, KO-ing the tiger. The lion recovers and ROARS at Rolf, who shouts a war-cry and they dash towards each other. Rolf grabs the lion's open jaws (mirroring the King Kong/T-rex fight) and wrestles him to the ground. He takes a few hits, but keeps pummeling the lion with all his strength, slamming him through a rusty car to finally defeat him. Despite his injuries, Rolf whistles to Wilfred and Meggy to continue the search for Victor.
In the lane, Eddy sets up a box trap, then gets a bananna.
"No primate could resist!" he chuckles as he sets the bananna in the trap to lure Winston. He waits behind the dumpster, ready to pull the trap's string as soon as Winston takes the bait. Then he hears something behind him. "Huh?..."
He sees a 20-dollar bill on the ground. "20 bucks?... OH BOY!" he rushes to take the 20, but instead drops into a pitfall trap. Eddy recovers, looks up, and sees Winston holding a shovel (meaning HE dug the trap) and laughing at Eddy!
"Errr..." Eddy tries climbing out as Winston merrily takes the bananna and leaves. "GET BACK HERE, YOU-" Eddy slips back into the hole.
