PPX: Zuma's First Month

Season one Episode six: Can Be Rocky To Find A Hobby


It was morning time on the eighth day since Zuma had arrived in Adventure Bay, and he was looking for something he could do now that it was after breakfast. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do that day, and he was starting to get bored and let out a little puppy yawn that showed it. He saw Chase in his police uniform as he was checking out how good he looked in the mirror. Zuma was about to start showing his PTSD, but he brushed it off and walked up to Chase as he started whining about how bored he was. "Chase, I'm bowed. Can you please play with me?"

"Sorry Zuma. Ryder needs me for an emergency in town today." Chase responded reluctantly, and Zuma raised his eyebrow when he thought about Chase checking himself out, and Chase then defended himself. "It was only for a few seconds. Some people may even feel safer if you look good."

Zuma ignored that comment and started complaining about how he couldn't find anything to do. "But I don't know what I wanna do! I don't know why, but evewything I could do at the lookout just sounds bowing to me. And Wocky's not weady for playtime yet accowding to Wichie's schedule for him."

Chase tried to think of something for Zuma to do and then realized that Skye was off for the mission, feeling that Zuma could be helped there. "Ryder doesn't need any of Skye's equipment for the mission. She's in her room right now, and she should be free to help you find something to do."

Zuma did like the idea of seeing what Skye thought of as a fun time. All he knew so far was Pup Pup Boogie and mimicking birds. "That could be fun. "Maybe she has something new for me to twy."

"Yeah, there ya go!" Chase encouraged Zuma to go through with this, feeling that it would lead to something fun for him to do. "And I imagine she'll be even more excited to help you find something after yesterday." Zuma smiled and hi fived Chase before running off to find Skye. Chase then got one last look at his butt in the mirror before he headed off to find Ryder. "If my butt didn't look so good already, it'd be way easier to tell if my suit made it look even better."


Skye was currently in her bedroom and seemed to be looking for something as Zuma knocked on her door. "Come in!" Skye closed her desk dresser as Zuma opened the door to her room and knew that he wanted to play, feeling bad that she had to disappoint him. "Oh, hey Zuma. Sorry, but I can't play right now. I think I misplaced my diary."

Zuma just had to ask why Skye had a diary on her. "You have a diawy? (Gives a sly grin) Did you write about your secwet cwush in there?"

Skye flinched, instantly hiding the fact that she had some writings about Chase in her diary. "No, of course not! It's... other stuff. Like how my day went."

"Tch. Bowing." Zuma responded, and then he felt that since he had nothing better to do, he could help her look for it. "Well two sets of eyes are bettew than one. Maybe I can help you look for it."

Skye thought it was sweet of Zuma to help her look for her diary and couldn't help but thank him for it. "Thanks Zuma! That'd be so sweet of you!" Zuma couldn't help but smile upon hearing that, getting started on looking for the diary as he went over to the closet. Skye thankfully had nothing to hide in there, so she went over to her bed to look for it there. Zuma opened up the closet door and saw the diary in a box, feeling that Skye must've dropped it in there last night. Skye meanwhile, went into a downward dog pose to look underneath her bed for it.

As Skye was looking under her bed, Zuma went over to her and sat behind her to announce that he had her diary, "I think I-" only for...

PFFFFFFFFFFT

...a loud and bassy five second fart to be released into his face as a yellow cloud of rotten eggs left Skye's vibrating butt and made her flinch. She quickly turned around as she got up after her fart ended, realizing that she'd farted on Zuma by accident and felt awful about it as she saw him coughing and helped him waft the fart away. She already wasn't one who liked farting in front of someone else in general, and farting in someone's face was even further away from her alley. "I'm sorry Zuma. I must've put onions in my eggs by mistake."

"If it makes you feel bettew, I'd wather YOU fawt on me than Chase." Zuma responded, and then he finished wafting the fart away before declaring that the farts from all three of his friends smelt bad, just to a different degree of bad. That said, he didn't want to smell like farts when he went to see Rocky. "I could still use a quick bath though."


Meanwhile, Nicky was in some kind of dimly lit apartment as he laughed to himself and boasted about how easy taking it over was. "I can't believe how easy this was! Who knew a missing cousin story would've worked so well!?" Nicky laughed a bit more as he looked out the window, and then he noticed Zuma walking down the sidewalk with Skye. The two were clearly headed to Rocky's place, and Nicky was still resenting Zuma for 'taking Rocky from him'. "At least now they won't know where I am. Should be much easier now to avoid getting caught by anyone."

Nicky pulled out a notebook that held everything he knew about Zuma, from his life changing tragedy to the fact that he ran away before coming back. He then went to his note on Zuma's allergy to peanuts and gave a devious grin, knowing what he wanted to do now. "I think it's been long enough since I found out.


Skye and Zuma arrived at Mayor Goodway's house with Zuma being excited to see Rocky again, as always. He knocked on the door and waited in immense anticipation for Rocky to answer the door, which Skye couldn't help but giggle upon seeing. Then, when Rocky answered the door, he was clearly excited to see Zuma, who instantly tackled him in immense joy. "Wocky!" Rocky couldn't help but start laughing as Zuma started talking about how much fun they were gonna have. "I have no idea what I wanna do today, but I know it's gonna be totally awesome!"

Rocky couldn't help but start laughing as Zuma got off of him, being curious as to what Zuma had in mind. "I was actually wondering if you had any ideas today." Zuma flinched, not really having an answer for that one. Rocky was quick to catch on to why that was. "Nothing coming to mind?"

"Not weally." Zuma then chuckled a bit as he confessed to something else. "To be honest, most of my time in Adventuwe Bay has been spent playing with you. Or Chase and Skye if you're busy."

Rocky could understand that much. After all, Zuma did love having company. It did make his recent attempt to run away a little ironic though. "I think what you need is a hobby; something to help keep you busy in case everyone else is occupied." Zuma liked the sound of that, and Rocky then noticed Skye and hoped she wouldn't mind helping. "Hi there Skye. You wouldn't mind helping, would you?"

"I have some ideas if you're willing to let a girl lead the way." Skye joked, leaving Rocky and Zuma to start laughing at Skye's jab at how life used to be. As she headed off with Rocky and Zuma however, she made a suggestion. "Maybe you two should come up with some ideas first though."

Rocky was definitely excited to share one of his ideas, and knew that Zuma was gonna love it. "I think I know something that could work."


Nicky was currently in his apartment as he was shown to be baking some cookies while following a specific recipe and talking on the phone. "Yes, I know Caoimhe. That's why I said it'll be quick. What's the next ingredient? The one that can really hide the thing you're using to poison someone?" As Nicky listened to what Caoimhe had to say, and he was impressed by the next ingredient on the list as he went to grab it. "Alternative taste syrup? Wow; your parents really thought this one through."

Nicky thankfully had some alternative taste syrup that he bought earlier that day, and he put it into the cookies, which were revealed to be chocolate peanut butter flavored. "Oh, it's not for any special occasion. I just had a bad first impression with a new resident of Adventure Bay and I want to pay him back." Nicky then put the cookies into the oven as he then struggled to answer a question that stumped him a little. "It's... complicated."

Nicky set the timer and was more than grateful for the help. He then gave a devious grin as he bid farewell to his friend. "Okay, not a problem. Catch ya later Caoimhe. Have fun picking out your new canine knight." Nicky then hung up and started laughing at how easy that was. "The benefits of being friends with her is unrivaled!" Nicky then started writing out a fake apology, one that he made sure to put some effort into. "Just you wait Zuma. You won't be around for much longer.


Zuma was at the beach with Skye and Rocky, and the three were getting a look at all the stuff that was available for hobbies there. There were swimming lessons and a class on becoming a lifeguard, but what really caught Zuma's attention was the surfing lessons. He'd seen surfers before, both in real life, and on Tv, so he was more than happy to finally have a chance to go surfing himself. He instantly signed up for that one, and Rocky was quick to notice as Zuma pointed out why. "I think it's easy to tell that my family was the twopical type."

"Surfers aren't exactly tropical, but I can definitely see that." Rocky admitted, and he then headed off with Skye and Zuma as he shuddered at the thought of surfing. "You can do THAT one by yourself."

Skye and Zuma laughed at Rocky's reaction to surfing with Skye then bringing up a hobby she had in mind for Zuma. "Those surfing lessons don't start for another four days actually. We could find some other stuff to do in the meantime." Rocky and Zuma listened closely as Skye happily asked the latter a question. "Does cooking interest you?"

Zuma did like the sound of that. This could give him a method of being a little closer to his dad. "It might. My dad was a chef for the town neaw our house. Maybe I can finally see what HE saw in it." Skye was glad to hear that and headed home with Rocky and Zuma as the Chocolate Labrador thought about some of the stuff his dad made. "Actually, he made a cookie cake for my thiwd biwthday. It was so sweet you could sweaw your teeth were falling out."

Skye felt that could be a fun thing to make and felt it wouldn't hurt to suggest making it. "I usually start with cookies when it comes to teaching someone how to bake, but maybe we could see how well you remember the cake based off of memory."

Rocky flinched and was quick to assure Zuma that it was up to him what they made first. "If you want to, that is."

"Of couwse dude." Zuma answered while laughing, knowing that Rocky was trying to keep him from thinking about the day his parents were taken from him. Thankfully, this could be a memory to help with that.


Back in his apartment, Nicky's cookies had just finished cooled off, and it was about the start of twelve o clock in the afternoon. He couldn't believe how easy this looked on the outset. All he had to do was make some chocolate chip peanut butter cookies and hide the peanut butter taste. The alternative taste syrup made it all the easier to get away with. As he gazed upon the cookies, he smelled them proudly before he then grinned when putting the alternative taste syrup in. He tasted one just to make absolute sure, and as you'd expect, absolutely no peanut taste.

Nicky couldn't help but laugh a bit to himself as he thought about the look on Zuma's face when he ate these. "Good things do come to those who wait, something some of my relatives never picked up on." Nicky then took out some bags he made for holding the cookies in. The bags weren't see through, and the cookies were hidden well enough in regards to the peanut butter aspect to stay out of Zuma's view. "Maybe I should make one for Ryder too. And Richie if he's at the Lookout."

Nicky started putting the cookies in their own individual bags, after making two for Ryder and Richie, and he put three cookies each into the six bags. Nicky felt this would be enough to take Zuma out quickly. He just had to hope that Zuma would actually go out, and that he wouldn't get caught. "Now let's hope Zuma doesn't have as much endurance as he does raw combat power." Nicky left his apartment with his six cookie bags in his backpack as he thought in glee about how this would go down. "You're about to learn Zuma. No one, takes my loved ones from me."


Skye was currently teaching Zuma how to bake back at the lookout with Chase joking to Rocky about something that happened before Zuma moved in. "We'd better watch out Rocky. We don't wanna be part of another oversized chimney."

Chase and Rocky snickered as Skye blushed and groaned in annoyance, leaving her to assure Zuma that it was nothing as they went to the baking part. "It's nothing. Just... I didn't start out strong with this." Zuma watched closely as Skye let him decide just how much sugar was put into the cake. "So how much sugar did this cake have in it?"

Zuma thought hard about how much sugar was in the cake, and he decided to just go one cup and go from there. "I wanna say... maybe one full cup?"

"Perfect!" Skye poured a full cup of sugar into the mix, and Zuma couldn't wait to taste his last birthday cake from memory. She then moved onto how many layers they would make for the actual cake. She hoped that this would be the part Zuma remembered the easiest, since the amount of cake there was would be the most important part. "Not this next part is important Zuma. How many layers do we have to make for the size of the cake?"

Zuma tried to remember how much cake there actually was, but couldn't remember the specific amount. He decided to just wing it with this one, since cake was cake no matter what. "Thwee layews? My dad weally loved cooking and baking." Skye could get on board with that and started making the layers as Zuma commented on how cool this was. "This baking stuff is pwetty cool!"

"Just try not to set the oven on fire." Rocky chimed in, leaving him and Chase to start snickering at the joke with Skye rolling her eyes in response. Zuma still didn't quite get it.

Just then, the doorbell rang, leaving Zuma worried that Richie might've come to pick Rocky up for lunch. He looked back in the hopes that Rocky would stay a little longer. "You'we not leaving ealwy, are you?"

"No, don't worry; I'm not going anywhere." Rocky assured Zuma, knowing that Richie would away for at least a few hours. "I called Richie after we arrived at the beach, and he knows I'm staying for lunch. And this cake." Zuma was relieved to hear that with Rocky whispering to Chase. "I think it's best you answer the door."

"Yeah, good call." Chase whispered back, and then he went over to the door to find that it was Nicky of all canines. This alerted Chase, who made sure not to let Nicky do anything rash or dangerous as he let the door open automatically. "Make it quick Nicky. We don't have time for nonsense today."

"No nonsense." Nicky assured Chase as he handed out the cookie bag he wrapped for him. Chase sniffed it a bit, and smelt chocolate chips with a faint peanut smell. "The peanut smell is me. I had a PB&J for lunch." Chase didn't have any proof regarding Nicky's lie, and he let him inside as Nicky assured him of one thing. "It's just cookies. That's all I'm here for."

Nicky went into the kitchen with Chase warning Nicky to stay on his good side. "You do anything to Rocky or Zuma, and you'll be answering to my taser."

"Of course." Nicky replied with a smile, and the others were left surprised that Nicky was in the Lookout as he pulled out cookie bags for all of them. "Trust me. If these were poisoned, Chase would've smelt it as soon as he came in."

The others accepted the cookie bags with Zuma bringing up a possible positive to this. "Well... now we have a side for the cake." Nicky smiled, making it seem as if he was glad to see Zuma finding this to be a positive. Little did Zuma know that underneath that smile, Nicky was ready for a harmful reaction.


The cake was finished about a half hour later, and Zuma and the other pups were chowing down on it and liking it quite a bit. Zuma liked it himself, but he didn't feel the same way he did when his dad made it. Rocky quickly noticed this and hoped everything was okay. "You okay Zuma?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Zuma assured Rocky, not wanting him to think he was sad or anything. "The cake's good and all, but I don't think I memowized the whole thing fwom when my dad made it."

Chase finished his first slice of the cake before he commented on how Zuma's memory was affected by how long it's been. "Three and a half years would do that to you. At least with everything you've been through since then."

Zuma could see Chase's point there. He'd been a lot less focused on his past at certain points. "Tell me about it." Zuma then opened up his cookie bag and took a bite out of one of the cookies, pleasing Nicky. As the Doberman tried to conceal his devious tendencies, he was glad to see that Zuma enjoyed the cookies. "These are weally good Nicky!" Rocky could see Nicky clasping his paws together in an odd manner, but kept his cool to avoid ruining the mood.

Nicky was pleased to see that Zuma failed to notice the peanut butter in the cookies. That meant the syrup worked, and no one else would notice too. "Glad it lived up to my expectations. Hopefully the rest of you will find them to be good as well."

The others decided to try their cookies, and they all liked them as well. Skye was the first to comment on how good they tasted. "Oh yeah, these are good. Really good." Nicky could barely contain his laughter at how easy this was. Could they really not tell that there was peanut butter in the cookies? It certainly seemed that way, and it meant that the syrup worked. He just hoped the peanut butter would still take effect like Caiomhe said it would.

Rocky then got an idea that he felt would help everyone relax while eating their sweets. "Anyone up for some TV?" Everyone else seemed on board with that, so Rocky turned the Tv on and switched it to a show that he felt they would all enjoy.


It was at the end into the first episode of the show Rocky put on, and despite enjoying it quite a bit, Zuma couldn't help but feel an itch on one of his paws. Nicky quickly took notice to the red spots on his paw that were caused from this, and he decided to make his leave as soon as the episode ended. "Well I hate to leave so soon, but I think an hour is long enough for me." Nicky made sure to notice Zuma start scratching his paw as he made his leave. "I'll see you all later if you're up for it."

The others said goodbye to Nicky, and after they did, Zuma quickly informed the others about his spots. "Okay, I'm no doctow, but I'm pwetty sure I shouldn't be getting (Shows them the spots) these for no weason."

The others instantly sprung into a panic with Nicky stopping right at the door. He then looked to where the others were and put on a confused look as Rocky spoke up. "It's not normal in the slightest!" Just then, Zuma started feeling a strange shortness of breath and started gasping for air as he fell to the ground. This caused the others to show even more fear as they went to Zuma and Rocky held him up by his head. "Zuma!" Rocky then remembered the Epi-Pen he had on him, leaving Nicky to flinch as he noticed that. He should've known Rocky would be prepared."

Nicky ran up to the others as Rocky hit Zuma with a dose of the Epi-Pen. When he started to clear up. Chase gave him clear instructions on what to do. "Just sit here for now Zuma. I'll go get you some water."

Zuma took note of that with Chase heading into the kitchen as Nicky walked up to Zuma and pretended to be worried. "Zuma; are you okay? What happened?"

"Wish I knew." Zuma admitted, having no idea how his allergy could've acted up there. "I mean, I'm allewgic to peanuts, but I haven't had any all day." Zuma couldn't help but start thinking about how his allergies could've acted up. It's not like he was allergic to environmental things like Chase was with certain flowers. "No idea what could've caused it this time."

"We'll find out soon enough." Skye assured Zuma, rubbing his head lovingly as she told him what she did after he started feeling better. Around the same time, Chase handed Zuma his water, which Zuma smiled upon receiving. He also thanked him silently to avoid interrupting Skye, which Chase nodded and smiled to. "I texted Katie after Rocky hit you with the Epi-Pen, and she said we can find out what caused your reaction this time." Nicky tried his best to hide his worry after that. He also forgot to consider that Zuma's friends had contact with the local vet.


Zuma and the others were in Katie's patient room with Nicky having come too just to make sure that no one else would catch on. Zuma was still confused about how his allergy started to act up, but he did have something cool to discuss with Rocky about the checkup. "So when Katie did that X-Way thing over my body, how cool was it when you all saw my bones and stuff?"

"It was pretty intriguing to see the inside of a fellow canine's body." Rocky admitted, glad that he was able to see something like that at such a young age. "Still, I won't lie and say I wasn't at first concerned when I saw how many bones were actually broken the last time MY body was shown in an X-Ray."

Zuma did sound concerned when he heard that, but before he could ask about it, Katie came in and had a chart for him and the others to look at. "Okay Zuma. I found what caused your allergic reaction, and I think you'll be surprised by how well it was hidden."

Zuma and the others paid close attention with Katie showing them the cookies Nicky gave to the pups. They quickly took notice to the peanut butter filling that was hidden inside the cream, leaving them all shocked that they weren't able to taste it. Zuma especially was amazed that he didn't notice. "Nicky's cookies? How did we not taste the peanut buttew?"

Nick then feigned remorse for the fact that he caused this to happen and pretended it was something other than alternative taste syrup. "I must have used the wrong cream by accident. I meant to use a kind that made it easier to be able to taste the filling that was inside for extra comfort."

Rocky couldn't help but feel that Nicky's story was off, despite it sounding like a mistake one could make when baking. He also knew that Nicky had something against Zuma after he started hanging out with him more frequently. He knew he couldn't prove anything however, so he decided to be vague with it. "You're certain you used the wrong kind of coating cream?" Nicky was put off guard by that question as Rocky then pointed something else out. "True someone could make that mistake when cooking or baking, but it's also one that should be easy to notice with good taste."

Nicky did his best to conceal the fact that he was close to getting caught with Chase then pointing something else out. "Ya know, now that I think about it, I did smell peanut butter on Nicky when he came over. He said he had a PB&J for lunch though, so I don't know how much help that memo could actually be."

Nicky was starting to get nervous with Zuma speaking up in defense of Nicky. "You guys don't think he actually twied to kill me, do you?" Zuma looked at Nicky, and despite noticing a bit of sweat on his forehead, he decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. "I mean, we don't know if he was actually there duwing any of the times mention of my allewgy came up. For all we know, this could just be a coincidence. (Looks at Rocky) Not that I would ignowe anything you had to say about him of couwse."

Rocky smiled in response to Zuma's clarification there. It wasn't needed though, as he already knew Zuma wouldn't ignore him. Nicky was then quick to speak up as he heard his phone beep and looked at it before leaving. "Hate to hit and run guys, but I've got something to get to. (Looks at Zuma) Sorry about this whole... allergy thing Zuma. I'll be more careful next time." Zuma smiled in response to that with Nicky walking off and crossing his fingers with a devious grin as he left the room.

Skye was quick to chime in after that, hoping that everything would be okay until the day was over. "Let's hope he's able to keep his word on that."

"And if he's not, I'll be sure to talk to him." Ryder assured the pups, and then he noticed Chase starting to feel bad about the whole thing, so he took him out of the room to tell him that this wasn't his fault.

Richie took this as an opportunity to warn Zuma about the limits he should have with trusting someone like Nicky. "Word of advice Zuma. Trust is important, and some are more than worthy of it. But if you trust the wrong individual too many times, it could backfire on you greatly."

Zuma thought about what Richie just told him for a moment and figured it was best to listen. He was curious as to what Richie thought about the Nicky thing though. He felt it wouldn't hurt to see how the non-canine friends he had felt about the situation. "Do you think Nicky might have twied to kill me for weal?"

"I can't say for sure, but I'd recommend being cautious with what we know he's done so far." Richie answered, knowing that Nicky wasn't exactly completely innocent. "Even if he was telling the truth about his cookies, we should still consider every possible outcome, and not let ourselves miss the truth when it's too close." Richie then put a paw on Zuma's shoulder to assure him that he was there to help. "And some bad ones may be closer to us than you think." Zuma nodded in response and smiled with gratitude. He definitely believed at the moment that staying was the right call.


Nicky was back in his apartment as he thought about how he barely got away with his scheme today. If it weren't for Zuma's naivety, he would've most certainly gotten caught thanks to Rocky's observation skills and Chase's incredible sense of smell. As he was writing in his journal, it was shown that he was thinking of ways to get rid of Zuma without getting caught. "Rocky knows me far too well to risk him catching me too many times." Nicky then closed his journal as his phone rang and answered it angrily when he saw who it was. "What do you want?"

Nicky listened to what the one he was talking to had to say and got even more annoyed as he responded. "No Caoimhe. The one I was trying to trick with this almost figured it out, so I had to bail." Nicky could only hope that Caoimhe was oblivious to what exactly he was trying to do. After all, she was his last connection to a certain member of his family. "Well maybe if my cousin didn't have my number, you wouldn't have my number. Just be glad he isn't stealing anyone you care about from you."

Nicky waited for the person who called him to finish as he then expressed how much he needed Caoimhe's connection. "At least until he gets his own number and can call me himself. Then he can help me with what I'm trying to do and it'll all work out from there." Nicky then hung up after Caoimhe supposedly said she had to go. "Okay, no problem. Later Caoimhe. Thanks again." Nicky hung up and lied down on his bed. As he sighed, he opened up his journal and got back to work with a sinister look on his face. "She wishes she knew what I was planning for you Zuma."


Zuma was at the lookout with the others as he got a look at a sketch Richie drew, using it as a means of getting into the drawing hobby. It was a sketch he did of Rocky, and it was incredibly well detailed, kind of like what you'd see in a high quality cartoon. "This looks totally sick Wichie! How do you dwaw stuff like this!?"

"Lots of time and practice, along with a genuine interest." Richie answered while smiling, glad to see that Zuma could tell a good drawing when he saw it. "Believe it or not, hand drawn cartoons are full of drawings like this, and some even go frame by frame for the animation."

Zuma wanted to give that a shot and grabbed a piece of paper from the living room drawer as he put it down and got to work. He also got a pencil and started the drawing. He wanted to make his first drawing of Rocky, and he spoke up to make sure Rocky was on board with it. "You don't mind posing for the dwawing, do you Wocky?"

"Not at all!" Rocky exclaimed, being excited to see what Zuma could do with drawing him. "How do you want me to do it? In a specific formation, sitting down, or...?"

"Sitting down is fine." Zuma assured Rocky, and then he got to drawing with Rocky sitting perfectly still and allowing Zuma to do his work.

Ryder was currently brushing Skye's ears, since they were kinda furry compared to most other dog breeds, and he lent Zuma another tip that he felt could help him. "Remember what Richie said about time and practice Zuma. That doesn't mean you have to keep doing it all the time, but if you wanna get better, do it at your own pace."

"Got it Wyder." Zuma assured Ryder, and he was making absolute sure he could get Rocky down to a tee, and he was able to get the shape to a reasonable similarity. When it came to actually drawing Rocky however, the crayon he picked was the right shade of gray, he showed a sense of concern over getting the actual drawing part down. Chase noticed and could relate to that. Despite his confidence in his abilities, he was the type who usually took his mistakes a little harder than most, as you probably already noticed.


A few minutes later, Zuma had finished his sketch of Rocky and was excited to show him, just as Rocky covered a sneeze he'd been holding in with his arm. Zuma wanted Rocky to be the first to see it, and the others gathered around as Zuma showed it to him. "Is it good Wocky?"

Rocky got a good look at the drawing, and to say the least, it was... messy. Understandable, since Zuma was only seven and a half years old, but Rocky still sheepishly pointed it out. "It's definitely not the worst start for a beginner.

Zuma compared his drawing with Richie's just to be sure, and Richie pointed out the time part. "Yeah, time also applies to how long you spend on the drawing. It took me way longer to get mine as detailed as this."

Zuma took note of that and put his drawing on the table as he brought up how much cool stuff there was to do in the world. "I gotta say guys; there's a lot of stuff to do in Adventuwe Bay. I can see how none of you ever got bowed of this place."

The others were glad to hear that with Rocky being quick to assure Zuma that the fun wouldn't stop there. "And we'll be sure to help you keep thinking that Zuma Thorne. Just don't be surprised if we do end up facing some dull and boring days."

Zuma laughed a bit in response to that, knowing for a fact that he'd wanna spend any kind of day with Rocky. "With you Wocky, I doubt they can get as dull and bowing as those kinds of days can get." Zuma then hi fived Rocky, who was glad to see that they both thought to highly of each other. Zuma himself could only imagine how great living in Adventure Bay was going to be after the first week he had, and also today. Despite the allergic reaction he had that day. He smiled with anticipation and excitement for what was to come next as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.
