Episode 41: Space Rodeo
In the barracks, Bessie is watching a commercial.
Announcer on TV: Come on down to the top of the Space Tree for the first annual Interstation space rodeo! Bull riders from all across the Galaxy will be compete to win 50,000 space bucks!
Bessie: Wow! A rodeo? This means I have to get my rodeo badge. And knowing Mrs. Gibbons, I'm sure she'll say yes.
After asking her...
Mary Frances: No Bessie!
Bessie: But Mrs. Gibbons...
Mary Frances: But nothing! I'm not letting you endanger yourself anymore! If you even think about entering that rodeo, don't bother showing up at the next troop meeting!
She leaves.
Bessie: Aw!
Professor Chaos: She wouldn't let you enter the rodeo, would you?
Bessie: No. She said if I enter, I'll be kicked out of the honeybee scouts.
Professor Chaos: Have you been kicked out of there before?
Bessie: Yes, for farting and I was falsely accused of tormenting my scout mates.
Professor Chaos: Oh... Well, I can help you enter that rodeo without Mrs. Gibbons knowing.
Bessie: Aren't you like a supervillain?
Professor Chaos: Yes, but I encourage people to break rules. That's the courtesy of being a supervillain.
Bessie: But I always follow the rules.
Professor Chaos: You want that badge, don't you?
Bessie: Yeah.
Professor Chaos: Well, sometimes rules are meant to be broken and if you break that rule without them knowing, you'll get the badge.
Bessie: I guess that makes sense.
Professor Chaos: I'm glad you get it. Now let's do this!
(Play This is the Day by The The for this section.)
Bessie starts training for the rodeo. Although she is worried in what would happen if Mrs. Gibbons found out. But Professor Chaos continues to train her. She then enters the simulation room and pictures a rodeo. She starts to tame a bull in there. Professor Chaos pulls a thumbs up. Later in the food court, Bessie is eating and preparing for the rodeo. Professor Chaos gives her more food to help her train. She then starts running on the treadmill with Professor Chaos timing her. Later at night, Bessie is sleeping and dreaming about taming a bull in the rodeo. She successfully did it, but got punished for it. She wakes up and the song abruptly ends.
Bessie: I gotta tell Professor Chaos I can't do this.
(Play Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac for this section.)
Professor Chaos is waiting for Bessie and she comes to him.
Bessie: Hey Professor Chaos. I can't-
Professor Chaos: I already signed you up. Now let's go.
Bessie: Wait what?!
Professor Chaos: Look. You want that rodeo badge, right? So don't worry. I'll get the badge for you and Mrs. Gibbons won't even know.
Bessie: But...
He grabs Bessie's hand and they enter the elevator and go up to the top of the Space Tree.
Professor Chaos: You said that honeybees never give up, right? So you should try not to think about what Mrs. Gibbons should say if you disobeyed her.
Bessie: You're right. I can do this!
Professor Chaos: That's the spirit!
(Play Go All the Way by the Raspberries for this section.)
They made it to the top of the Space Tree and noticed the rodeo all set up and the crowd cheering.
Announcer: Welcome to the first annual Space Tree bull riding rodeo! Bull riders from all across the Galaxy are gonna compete in this event!
Bessie: Wow! This is amazing!
Professor Chaos: Yeah. But I'm gonna head to the bleachers. I'll root for you when it's your turn.
Bessie: So where's my bull?
Referee: Your bull is over there.
It was a small calf.
Bessie: Aw! So cute!
Referee: That's not your bull. It's the one next to it.
It was a bucking Bull similar to Dillinger and he was angry.
Bessie: Oh crap.
(Play Hello There by Cheap Trick for this section.)
All the bull riders got on their bulls and got on them. Bessie was trying to get on her bull, but he moos aggressively at her. She attempts to calm it down, but he was still angry.
Bessie: Please calm down.
All the bull riders are getting ready to make make the crowd happy. Professor Chaos gets into the stands and sees Strong Suit.
Professor Chaos: Lynn?
Strong Suit: Butters? What are you doing here?
Professor Chaos: I'm just here to see some bulls.
Strong Suit: So am I. I love bull riding rodeos.
Professor Chaos: So am I. Maybe I could use one against Freedom Pals to take over the universe.
Strong Suit: What?
Professor Chaos: Nothing.
(Play Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones for this section.)
The riders and their bulls go out one at a time. The first rider stays on his bull for 7 seconds and then more of them took their turns. Throughout the song, multiple bulls throw their trainers off them and started stomping on them. Bessie was scared of what was gonna happen to her. But she shrugs it off and remembers what she came for.
Bessie: Just focus on the badge. Just focus on the badge and you don't have to do this again. (The bull growls at her.) Oh man.
More riders were ejected from their bulls and the staff restrain the bulls before they did more damage and the song ends.
Announcer: Okay! We have one last contestant. It's her first bull ride. Please welcome Bessie Higgenbottom! Wait. How old is she?
Announcer 2: One of her friends registered her age as 21 years old.
Announcer: Well, she doesn't look 21 to me.
(Play Back in the Saddle by Aerosmith for this section.)
It was time for Bessie to go out with her bull.
Bessie: Just 8 seconds and that's it.
She exits with her bull and then it starts going crazy. Professor Chaos and Strong Suit see this.
Strong Suit: Wait. Is that Bessie?
Professor Chaos: Yeah.
Strong Suit: What's she doing out there?!
Professor Chaos: I may have signed her up and said she was 21.
Strong Suit: WHAT?!!!
The bull continues to go crazy and then she was almost done as the bull continues going crazy.
Bessie: Oh my god! Calm down!
The bull continues stomping massively as Bessie tries her best to hang on.
Referee: It says she is 21. Is this true?
Staff Member: Wait. Oh crap. No she's not 21. Her real age is 10.
Referee: What?! We let a 10 year old in this competition?!
Staff Member: Yeah.
Referee: Oh no. We are so fired.
The bull continues to stomp aggressively.
Bessie: Oh my god. This is crazy! But I'm glad Mrs. Gibbons hasn't found out yet. (Mrs. Gibbons enters the bleachers with some food and Bessie notices her.) Oh no.
She managed to stay on the bull, but it throws her off and the song ends.
Professor Chaos: Oh hamburgers. Signing her up was a bad idea.
Mary Frances: Signing who up?
Professor Chaos: Oh fuck!
Strong Suit: Hey, Mrs. Gibbons. What are you doing here?
Mary Frances: I'm just checking out the rodeo here.
Professor Chaos: Strong Suit, mind if you show her the perfect view of this place?
Strong Suit: Sure.
Mary Frances: Okay...
Strong Suit takes her and Professor Chaos heads to the arena. Bessie stands up and the bull starts his attempts to attack her. The staff attempt to restrain him, but he pushes them out of the way with his horns. He see a red shirt a staff member is wearing and then he moos loudly, which terrified the audience. Professor Chaos enters the arena.
Professor Chaos: Bessie, Mrs. Gibbons is here! You must wrap this up quickly!
Referee: Kid, you can't be in here! It's too dangerous!
Bessie: So you mean I have to...
Professor Chaos: Yes! You must end this! Hurry before this bull takes you down!
Bessie: Time to finish this rodeo! (She pulls out her Zune and plays Minnie Riperton's Memory Lane, which plays at the 1:31 mark. She then realized that she played the wrong song.) Oops. Sorry. Wrong song. Now where is it? Oh there it is!
(Play Layla by Derek and the Domino's for the rest of this section.)
The bull moos loudly again and Bessie pulls out a red cape.
Bessie: I've seen this on TV before. Time for me to tame this bull, bullfighter style! (The bull charges towards Bessie and attempts to attack her, but she moves out of the way.) Olé!
The bull charges towards her again.
Crowd: Olé!
Strong Suit is also distracting Mary Frances by taking her back to the food stand.
Mary Frances: Why did you take me back here?
Strong Suit: You forgot to order a salad. That's all.
Mary Frances: Hmm... You're right. Okay. Let's place the order.
Back in the arena, the bull continues to charge towards Bessie, but she moves out of the way while still holding the red cape. The bull continues to charge towards her before she jumped out of the way.
Bessie: Hey Bull! Try to get me now!
The bull charged at her again and she jumps out of the way. The bull charges towards her again and she dodged her and the bull hits a wall. He gets out and then he moos angrily again.
Professor Chaos: Come on, Lynn. Please keep distracting her.
Back at the concession stand, Mary Frances is done ordering her salad and then the bull finally manages to hit Bessie. Mary Frances notices Bessie.
Mary Frances: Is that...
Strong Suit: No. It's a different person!
Mary Frances: Nice try! I am gonna get her and kick her out of the troop for disobeying me!
Bessie lands on the bull and the song ends at the 3:09 mark.
Bessie: Ow... (The bull's eyes are still red.) Oh no.
The bull breaks out of the arena with Bessie on it.
Professor Chaos: What's going on with that bull?!
Strong Suit: One of the staff told me the reason why that bull is aggressive and angry. It's because his long lost lover was taken to an animal shelter in space. That's why he's killed all of his riders and traumatized people.
Professor Chaos: So there's an animal shelter in space!
Strong Suit: Yeah. The nearest animal shelter in space is 30 minutes to here. I'll send you the coordinate. Oh, and Mrs. Gibbons found out about Bessie being here.
Professor Chaos: Oh no.
Strong Suit: Don't worry. Head to the animal shelter. I'll try to stop that bull.
Professor Chaos: Okay. Let's do this.
(Play Beautiful Day by U2 for this section.)
Professor Chaos gets on the ship and flies into Space.
Professor Chaos: Don't worry Bull. I'll reunited you with your long lost love.
He continues flying through space. Meanwhile in the Space Tree, the bull is rampaging through the station with Bessie still on it.
Bessie: Calm down Boy. Calm down!
The bull refuses to listen to her and continued to rampage through the station, scaring everyone.
Mysterion: What the hell is going on he-
The bull runs him over and instantly kills him.
The Coon: Holy shit!
Toolshed: Oh my god! That bull killed Kenny!
Human Kite: You bastards!
The bull is still rampaging through the Space Tree.
Bessie: Oh my god! Calm down and stop already!
Colonel Rawls exits his offices and sees the bull charging towards him while Bessie is still on him.
Colonel Rawls: WHAT THE HELL?! (He jumps outs of the way and the bull runs past him.) WHOEVER OWNS THAT BULL IS IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!!!
The bull sees a balcony and is about to jump off it.
Bessie: ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!
The Bull moos angrily and jumps off the balcony and the song paused at the 1:45 mark and everything is now in slow motion.
(Play Crazy by Patsy Cline for this short part.)

The bull continues rampaging through the space tree with Bessie still on it.
Bessie: Calm down, Boy! Why are you like this?! (The Bull stomps aggressively and throws Bessie off him.) Oh no.
The bull angrily snorts and moos aggressively at her.
Meanwhile with Professor Chaos, he lands the ship at the animal shelter in space. He got off the ship and entered it.
Professor Chaos: Excuse me. Is this the animal shelter?
Female Security Guard: Yes. What are you here for?
Professor Chaos: A female bull. Do you have it?
Female Security Guard: Female bulls don't exist. Are you talking about a cow? If you are, are you sure you want it? I was told it was too dangerous to be around kids.
Professor Chaos: Yes. I'm sure I want it.
Female Security Guard: Fine. I'll take you to it, but if it attacks you, it's not our fault. (She then takes him where the animals from across the galaxy are kept.) Here it is. Find the cow and give the money to one of our employees.
She leaves him alone.
Professor Chaos: Okay. Now to find the angry bull's lover.
(Play Strange Feeling by Billy Stewart for the rest of this section.)
Professor Chaos starts to look for the cow and looks at the other creatures. One of the creatures he sees was a three eyed lizard like creature. He then sees a 3 headed cyclops. He wanted to set them all free and make him apart of his chaos group, but remembered the bull. He then walked through the room seeing various space creatures locked in cages. He continued looking for the cow until he finally found her. The cow was scared to see Professor Chaos. She slowly backed away from him.
Professor Chaos: I'm not here to hurt you. I'm just here to reunite you with your lost love. (The cow was scared to go near him. He then opened the cage and start to pet her.) Everything is gonna be okay. Don't worry. Let's get you out of here. (The cow now has a liking to him and he takes her to the front desk.) Here's the space money.
Employee: Are you sure you want this, Kid?
Professor Chaos: Yes. I want this cow.
Employee: It's a really dangerous animal. Are you sure you want it?
Professor Chaos: Yes. I want it. I calmed it down and she likes me now.
Employee: Okay. You be careful with her now.
Professor Chaos: I will. (He takes the cow to the ship and he flies out of the animal shelter.) Your lost love is at the Space Tree and that's where we're going.
He continues flying them through space and the song ends.
Back at the Space Tree, the bull is still angry at Bessie.
Bessie: Look. Do you want some music to listen to? Maybe you'll like some good Earth music.
(Play Safari Song by Greta Van Fleet for this part of the section.)
The bull begins to charge towards Bessie and she pulls out the red cape again and he was about to attack her before she jumped out of the way. The bull continues to charge towards her again and she once again jumps out of the way. The bull aggressively charges towards her again before she jumps out of the way with Bessie saying Olé every time. Meanwhile, Professor Chaos is almost to the Space Tree.
Professor Chaos: Come on. We're almost there. And normally, I wouldn't do this because I'm a villain, but I have too!
He finally makes it to the Space Tree and landed the ship. He exits the ship with the cow and they try to go to where the bull is. Meanwhile, Bessie is still bullfighting with the bull. The bull begins to charge towards her again.
Bessie: I'm getting tired. Olé... (She jumps out of the way and the bull turns back around to face Bessiewith an angry look.) Nice bull...
The bull moos angrily until...
Professor Chaos: Stop! I have found your lost lover!
The bull faces Professor Chaos and the cow comes from behind him.
(Play Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye for the rest of this section.)
The bull calms down and approaches his lost lover. They both smile romantically.
Bessie: Aw! Animal love is so adorable.
Professor Chaos: Yeah. Hopefully they'll have an amazing family.
The cow and bull then walked away and left them alone.
Bessie: That was such a cute moment.
Professor Chaos: Yeah. And don't tell anyone about me helping you.
Bessie: I won't and hopefully I'm not in trouble.
Mary Frances: Your hopes aren't coming true this time! (The song abruptly ended in a record scratch and she was really angry at Bessie.) I have specifically told you not to enter that rodeo and you disobeyed me, not to mention that you caused that bull to rampage all over the Space Tree!
Bessie: But I stopped it and it's reunited with its long lost love.
Mary Frances: I don't wanna hear it! Turn in your sash. You are no longer a honeybee scout.
Bessie: But...
Mary Frances: No buts! You put everyone in the Space Tree in danger by refusing to listen and for what?! Over a rodeo badge?! You know rodeos are too dangerous for children and you could've gotten yourself killed! Now turn in your sash and I don't want to see you in room 28 or our honeybee troop building on Earth again!
Just as Bessie was about to turn in her sash...
Professor Chaos: Wait! (They then looked at him.) It wasn't Bessie's fault that bull caused all this damage. It was mine. I was the one who registered Bessie into that rodeo. When she told me that she wanted to do it, but changed her mind after you wouldn't let her do it, I convinced her to do this. Bessie's not to blame for what that bull did, it was me. I told her to do it after you told her not to. So if anyone who deserves to be punished, it's me. (He takes off his tinfoil helmet.) I'm gonna find my dad and tell him about what I did.
Mary Frances: Wait.
She leaves them alone.
Bessie: Where's she going?
10 Minutes Later...
Mary Frances: (Returns with a badge) Here's the rodeo badge. It's not an official honeybee badge since they refused to make it due to one kid jumping in a bullfighting arena and getting severely injured by the bull. This is a custom badge I made. Take it and we will never speak of this again. Oh, and you can stay in the troop as long as we never speak of this again.
Bessie: Okay. Thanks!
Mary Frances: Oh, and if you pull a stunt like that again, you will be off the troop for good.
Bessie: Okay. I won't do it again. But wait, those two don't have anywhere to go.
Professor Chaos: Wait. Is there a petting zoo in the Space Tree?
Mary Frances: No. I don't think so.
Bessie then had an idea.
Bessie: I think I have an idea.
3 Days Later...
(Play Tubthumping by Chumbawamba for the rest of this chapter.)
Colonel Rawls: Now opening: the first annual Space Tree petting zoo!
Mary Frances cuts the ribbon and the petting zoo was now open for everyone. All the space creatures who were at the animal shelter are now living in the petting zoo, thanks to Professor Chaos convincing the staff to let him purchase them. Bebe is petting a 3 eyed lizard like creature. Nate attempts to feed the 3 headed cyclops.
Colonel Rawls: NO FEEDING THE ANIMALS!!! NOW DROP AND GIVE ME 50!!!
Nate: Yes Sir...
He starts doing push ups.
Professor Chaos: The fellas at the animal shelter were nice enough to let me have all these space creatures for this petting zoo.
Bessie: I'm glad they did. Oh, and if this supervillain thing doesn't work out, you can be a superhero instead.
Professor Chaos: Nice try, but I'm still gonna be evil. I just felt like helping you, that's all.
They approached the bull and cow and they allowed Bessie to pet them.
Bessie: I'm glad you're doing alright. (The bull and cow moo happily.) I'll take a selfie with them.
Bessie takes the selfie with the bull and cow.
