Chapter 21
The perfume shop is also run by Greedybagz! He demands 2,000 zems for a perfume bottle! (Spiral has 2,999 zems after going thru the quiet park. He buys perfume, then goes to take it to the skunk in the quiet park.) ps: now spiral only has 999 zems.
the skunk puts on the perfume. now spiral can walk past the skunk without being repelled by a stinky smell! On the path beyond the skunk, there's a tree-stump with a sheep-rock sitting on it. But the tree-stump is too high for Spiral to jump up onto. So he ignores it, & walks down the rest of the path. There's a downhill bend, & another sharkfish-infested lake along the side of it. Then Spiral passes an OUTHOUSE. Greedybagz is standing in front of it, & he says, "If you want to use this outhouse, you must pay me 500 zems." Spiral pays him, & then Spiral goes in the outhouse. But not to use the toilet! Spiral just has to go inside the outhouse to get a green furry-fly who's in here. 22 furry-flies found. And he also finds a sheep-rock inside the outhouse. RESCUED WALLY
Wally: "Thanks for releasing me, Spiral! I was about to use the toilet in this outhouse, when Ghastly suddenly turned me into molten rock...and so I've been trapped in this rock for days without being able to use the bathroom! It really sucked!" (then Wally uses the toilet in the outhouse. Spiral & Sox leave.) 49 SHEEP RESCUED
Then Spiral comes to the end of the park-path. Near here, there's 2 skunks sitting on the grass next to a TV, and the 2 skunks are playing a Spyro-the- dragon video-game! Spiral watches them from a distance.
1st skunk: "Yay, we've made it to the level where you fight Gnasty Gnorc! Do you think I'll be able to defeat him?"
2nd skunk: "Hopefully."
1st skunk: (makes Spyro chase Gnasty around) "I've almost caught up to Gnasty!...yes! now I can flame him! -Whoa, that was close! Gnasty's spell almost hit me!" (now Gnasty retreats into a lava tunnel. Spyro follows Gnasty thru there, & glides across the platforms over the lava.) "Arrgh, I hate this part! This is where Gnasty makes the platforms slowly shrink...I always keep falling here..." (he makes it to the 2nd-to-last platform) "Almost there! After this, we'll be able to go to Gnasty's Loot!" (he jumps to the last platform, but suddenly, a fly buzzes around the skunk who's playing the Spyro game. The skunk puts down the controller while trying to swat the fly buzzing around him...and Spyro falls into the lava while the skunk is busy trying to swat the fly.) "WHAT? I FELL INTO THE LAVA? ARRRGH NOW I MUST START ALL OVER AGAIN FROM THE PART WHERE SPYRO HAS TO CHASE THE 2 THIEVES! ARRRRRRGH!" (he is so frustrated, he throws the controller into the air... the controller goes flying across the park... and it lands on top of the sheep-rock on the stump in the middle of the park. The sheep-rock breaks. RESCUED QUENTIN
Quentin: "I have to go listen to the radio-song "Chocolate Fire." (disappears) 50 sheep rescued
-CHALLENGE ACTIVATOR: Near where the 2 skunks & the TV were, there's also another challenge-activator arch. Spiral walks thru it & starts flying, & 8 swans, 8 paper planes, 8 butterflies, & 8 raccoons appear around the park. Spiral has 2 minutes to get all these items. His reward is 1,000 zems!
-also, over one of the lakes, is a high ledge with several symbol pots. this ledge can only be reached by flying (during the flight challenge). After getting all these zems, spiral & sox go exit the level!

EXCITING PART UP AHEAD
BACK IN THE BUSINESS HOMEWORLD: you pass a purple house which you go into. There's a sheep-rock in here. You free the sheep from it. RESCUED HAPPY
Happy: "I have to go to shopping in the old part of town. But while I'm away, I'll miss hearing my favourite song on the radio! I want to hear "Sheepsy" by zay-bwon! That song comes on the radio in a few minutes! But I can't stay and listen to it; I have to go shopping right now before the store closes! So I'll miss hearing the song on the radio! Hmm...Spiral, while I'm away, could you please stay here and record the song "Sheepsy" on tape for me, when the song comes on the radio? So I'll be able to listen to it when I get back?"
Spiral: "Sure!"
Happy: "Thanks! If you successfully record the song, I'll reward you by giving you the 2nd key to Gizmo Alley."
-MEANWHILE, A VERY LARGE GROUP OF GNUS ARE OUTSIDE, EAVESDROPPING ON SPIRAL & HAPPY'S CONVERSATION.
gnus: "hee hee...let's make some mischief...by interrupting spiral's tape- recording!"
-Happy leaves his house, & Spiral stays to record the radio-song on tape. The radio-song starts playing! Spiral presses the RECORD button on the tape-recorder, then stands there & lets the radio-song play. Suddenly, as he's recording the song, some warthog enemies break into the house, & they come charging towards the bookshelf in the corner of the house, and are about to knock some books off the bookshelf and onto the floor, which will make a loud THUD noise which will interrupt Spiral's tape-recording! So Spiral must run up to these warthogs and defeat them before they can make this noise! Then 3 gnus with hammers enter the house. They're about to smash the floor with their hammers, which will make a loud noise which will interrupt Spiral's recording! So Spiral quickly defeats these gnus before they can smash the floor with their hammers. Then seven small gnus enter the house and run up to the kitchen sink, & they're about to turn on the water-taps! The noise of the running water will interrupt Spiral's recording! So Spiral defeats these gnus too, before they can turn on the water taps! Meanwhile, outside, some gnus with big feet are making their way to this house. Spiral must go outside & defeat them before they can even get inside the house! Because their big feet make a very loud stomping noise, which will interrupt the recording if they get in! Then, after that, a flock of enemy pigeons fly into the house. Defeat them before they can start squawking, because their squawking will interrupt the recording! Finally, a giant blue robotic gnu (A GIZMO-GNU PROTOTYPE) enters the house, & is about to zap the radio, which will destroy it! So Spiral must quickly defeat this robotic gnu before it can zap the radio! After that, the radio-song is finished playing by now, & also at this time, Happy comes home by now.
Happy: "Did you successfully get a recording of that radio-song?"
Spiral: "Yup!"
some more gnus who suddenly enter the house: "That's what you think!" (the gnus then steal the tape from Spiral, before Spiral can hand it to Happy! The gnus run off with the tape!)
Spiral: "Don't worry, Happy! I'll get that tape back!" (Spiral charges after the gnus, & defeats them, just before the gnus are about to throw the tape into a garbage can! Spiral gets the tape back from them, then takes it to Happy. Happy says, "I'm very happy that you've got my tape back!" and rewards Spial by giving Spiral the 2nd key to Gizmo's Alley!)
2/3 keys found
Where could the 3rd key to Gizmo's Alley be? Spiral wanders around the homeworld searching for it...
Some time later...
Spiral: "Yeuch! What's that awful smell? Is there another skunk up ahead?"
Sox: "I don't think so...I don't see any..."
Spiral: "THEN WHERE IS THAT SMELL COMIN' FROM? SOX, DID YOU FART?"
Sox: "Nah, I think that smell's actually coming from those sewers up ahead..."
There is an open sewer up ahead. Spiral looks down into the sewers.
Spiral: "I must go down there! The 3rd key could be in those sewers!"
Sox: "But...ARE YOU CRAZY? IT SMELLS SO BAD DOWN THERE! I MEAN, YOU COULD DIE FROM INHALING THAT SMELL FOR TOO LONG!"
Spiral: "Well, too . I'm still going down there!" (jumps down into the sewers)
Sox: "Why do I choose to go on these adventures with Spiral? It's crazy! Instead, I could be spending this time on a nice visit to paradise, basking in the sun, drinking butterfly-sandwiches & eating milkshakes...& listening to the song "Madder" on a portable radio...or going on a date with a red furry-fly & kissing her...but instead, here I am, adventuring with Spiral, down some dirty sewers full of people's poop!"
