And now, the Tomorrowland-inspired section of Veggie Land!
Chapter 3: Space Tomatoes
"Welcome to Space-Tomato Land. Where you can KETCHUP to those in space."
Gil reads the sign out loud while Molly facepalms as that sounded so bad.
"Should we hop on Star Tomato Tours?" She asks. "I'm sure that ride's gonna be so epic."
"We gotta head there, Molly!"
XOXOXO
Inside the Star Tomato Tours ride, Mr. Grouper is preparing himself. Turning into the color of gray, he grabs some gray cardboard and tapes them around his body. Trying to look like a spaceship.
Avi and Mr. Grumpfish are hanging a large, white curtain and setting up a projector.
In the walkthrough, Molly and Gil are passing by, as the girl begins…
"Oh my! This is gonna be a wonderful ride to outer SPACE!"
Back in the ride's room, Avi heard Molly yelling out the last word.
"Space? That's the cue! They're coming!"
"What did he say?" Mr. Grumpfish asks Mr. Grouper.
"Gil and Molly are coming, Mr. Grumpfish!"
"Oh, okay." … says Mr. Grumpfish as he goes behind the projector.
"Avi, turn off the lights."
Avi does as he's told from Mr. Grouper. Just in time as Gil and Molly arrive and get on their teacher. Molly knows it's him but Gil actually thinks he's on a machine.
"Oh, can't forget our 3D glasses." Molly hands Gil a pair of regular glasses and the two friends put them on.
Mr. Grumpfish inserts a DVD into the projector and the film is playing on the curtain.
The film shows footage of outer space as Mr. Grouper lightly moves up-and-down, side-to-side.
"Oh boy, oh boy…" Gil couldn't hold his excitement.
Suddenly, the film now shows lights and dashes as if the audience is zooming at top speed! Mr. Grouper shakes his body, making Gil and Molly feel like they're going very fast.
"Woooah!" The two scream.
Avi, carefully not being in sight, prepares the 3D effects. By 3D, it means throwing real tomatoes. And he throws one!
"Oh wow!" Gil exclaims as the tomato passes him and hits-
"Ow!"
Molly, in the face. Now covered in red tomato juice.
"3D is so cool!" Gil states.
"Oops." Avi says quietly. "Sorry Molly."
"You say something, Molly?"
Molly flinches as Gil thinks it was her.
"Uh- uh- Ooh, more 3D!"
Avi had no choice but to throw more tomatoes.
The film on the curtain reaches to a planet and Mr. Grouper starts to slow down and land lightly on the ground.
Now the ride is over and Gil…
"Oh my gosh! That was the best ride yet!"
He exclaims as he hops off his teacher in disguise and swims away. Fortunately for Gil, he wasn't covered in tomato juice. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Molly and Mr. Grouper. The teacher and his student have annoyed looks as Avi walks up to them.
"Sorry about the tomatoes, fellas."
"It's okay, Avi. We're doing this for Gil." Mr. Grouper assures the purple fish with a smile.
"Yeah, for Gilly."
XOXOXO
Now outside, Gil and Molly, who is now clean, look around for the next attraction to hop in.
"Your turn, Molly."
Molly doesn't want anything thrilling so she knows which ride in the section would be calm. "Ooh, what about that one, Gilly?"
Gil looks at Molly's finger pointing to Space Tomato Blasters.
"Why not?"
The two make it inside and look around the interiors. Posters of shrimp in outer space use laser blasts to take on ferocious tomato aliens.
"Hello and welcome to Space Tomato Blasters."
Nonny, dressed in an astronaut costume and holding a toy laser-gun, talks in the middle of the set. But… he's not giving so much of a huge voice.
"Listen up, Space Stars. These ferocious tomatoes from Planet Rotten are surrounding the galaxy. And by ferocious, it means very, very, very scary in a wild manner." The intelligent guppy explains. "With your help, we can make peace once more."
"Planet Rotten?" Molly says in her thoughts.
"Oh man, this is gonna be fun!" Gil exclaims happily even if the astronaut wasn't putting in much effort to be epic or say good dialogue. "Let's go, Molly!"
"Be right there!" Molly approaches Nonny, "Not bad, Nonny but um, we'll discuss later."
"Discuss? About what?" The glasses-wearing guppy questions.
XOXOXO
Gil and Molly take their cart that has two squirt guns, one for each of them.
"I'm gonna beat you, Molly!"
"You're on, Gil!"
Goby and Deema are moving the cart and the two guppies on board are preparing their squirt guns.
A few shrimp they met at Big Bubble City are acting as animatronics. They're dressed up in space costumes preparing to face the tomato aliens. And those aliens are . . .
"Roar!"
The Little Fish dressed in red, round balls and a target poster on their sides.
"Take this!"
Gil starts shooting water at the fish, making them fall on their backs.
Besides the shrimp and the tomatoes, the walls are painted with glow-in-the-dark stars and posters of different planets.
But what everybody forgot about when constructing the ride-
"WOAH!"
"WAHH!"
The platform isn't all straight as the cart is going down like if it was on a hill! With Gil and Molly in it!
"Oops." Goby and Deema said in unison.
The two passengers have different reactions; scared for Molly, excitement for Gil.
"Ha! I didn't expect to go fast in this one!" Gil declares. "This is one cool ride!"
Molly, screaming, hugs Gil for her life.
With Goby, Deema, and Nonny…
"What do we do?!" Deema asks, worried for her friends.
"Luckily, I prepared the cart with a modification in case of an emergency." Nonny pulls out a remote with a button and waits for the cart to exit the interior.
"Wahoo!" Gil is having the time of his life.
"AHH!" Molly is not.
The cart makes it outside…
"Now." Nonny pushes the button.
"Woah!" Gil's seat suddenly ejects but Molly is still in the cart!
"Uh oh."
Molly's cart is about to-
SPLASH
… crash into the park's river.
As for the one who would usually be in these types of situations, he lands slowly on the ground. Gil's seat also came with a parachute.
"Man, that was my favorite ride yet! How about you, Molly?" He looks around, getting up from his seat. "Molly? Are you gone again?"
"Hi Gil!"
Gil turns around and sees Oona with a sailor's hat.
"Oona? You're here on your own?" Gil questions his pig-tailed friend.
"Well, I was with Nonny and Zooli but now I lost them." She explains, which is a fib. "But since you're here, I was hoping we could get on the Ahoy Boat right here."
Oona says as she and Gil turn to where the boat is. It's the Bubble Tug decorated with white and green ribbons with a red sail.
Luckily, Gil doesn't know it's the Bubble Tug.
"Oh, okay. But the thing is that Molly-"
"All aboard! The Ahoy Boat is leaving in one minute!" The captain announces.
It's Captain Carlo, the captain whose tugboat saved the cruise ship from hitting the giant rainbow snow cone.
"What are we waiting for, Gil?" Oona grabs one of his hands. "Let's hop in!"
"Woah! I'm coming!" Gil says as Oona quickly drags him.
XOXOXO
Goby, Deema, and Nonny went to check on Molly, who is wet and on top of the cart that's still in the river.
"Molly! Are you okay?" Deema asks her friend.
Molly spits out water like a human fountain. "Yeah, I'm okay. I'm glad, too!"
"Sorry, Molly. I forgot to make BOTH seats eject-able." Nonny says as he holds up his remote.
"It's okay, Nonny. At least we know Gil's having a great time in the park we built for him."
To be continued . . .
Don't worry. Gil and Oona will remain as friends, no Gil X Oona shipping.
And no, I don't believe Gil to be the dumbest person ever. Because it seems as if he's falling for everything without even thinking. I just want to point that out. He is silly but not dumb.
Captain Carlo is actually the nameless captain of the Bubble Tug in the episode "Party at Sea". I just thought I should give him a name. I'm pretty happy I'm including all these characters who were one-sided or are recurring friends of the Bubble Guppies.
Star Tomato Tours is based on Star Tours and Star Tomato Blasters is based on Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters. In case, you're curious of the rides.
Next time, Gil and Oona will go on a small adventure on the Bubble Tug, or the Ahoy Boat.
Thank you and have a nice day.
