Episode 1: Calista can't believe their eyes when a Magic Show comes to PnF town! And it's Calista's favourite Magic Troupe too! Nibbles the Not so Magnificent Magician. Scritch, the Business Head, logistics expert and bus driver for the troupe, and sometime Magician's Assistant! Al - handling the more technical aspects of the show, and part time stunt pet. And then there's Priscilla - the glamour element to the show! Calista wonders if the troupe might ever need someone with Calista's particular attributes to round out the Magic Show???

Episode 2: Calista notices there is some whispering going on amongst the troupe? Calista has submitted a resume to join this famous/infamous magic troupe, but is not sure how the team feels about it? Good news Calista! Priscilla is passing on the message to Nibbles that the rest of the team picked your resume as their favourite, and they really want YOU to announce their next act!

Episode 3: Calista announces one of Calista's favourite tricks! The one where the magician pulls a scarf out of their sleeve... and pulls... and pulls... and pulls... because this is obviously a VERY LONG SCARF! Scritch hasn't been paying attention though, and pounces on the scarf, in the typical manner of kittehs pouncing on anything that moves! Meanwhile, Nibbles is feeling secretly relieved that this magic trick appears to have worked, because (just between you and me), that is not always the case with Nibbles' magic tricks!

Episode 4: But, in typical Nibbles the Not so Magnificent fashion, there appears to be a slight hiccup? Because that darned scarf just keeps on coming... and coming... and coming... wrapping itself all around poor old Nibbles, binding him tighter and tighter...
Although Nibbles' lips aren't actually moving, his thoughts are racing along, recalling AND reciting every single incantation Nibbles has ever learned! One on top of t'other. Faster and faster! Until...

Episode 5: ...KaBoom!!! That's exactly what happens when a Not so Magnificent Magician recites incantations, one on top t'other. Faster and ev'r faster! Until everything hits the fan! Some things vaporise. Other things are reduced to atomic particles, small enough to be relocated in time and space. Even a bus? Which begs the question: does our Not so Magnificent Magician actually have the magical skills to reconstitute them all on the other side??? Stay tuned to find out!

Episode 6: Oh noes! The team had hoped to travel more quickly by taking the bus, but Scritch is not used to driving through Swamp Lands, and the bus slowly begins sinking! Maybe it is time to abandon ship... errh... bus?

Episode 7: As the bus slowly sinks more deeply into the bottomless swamp, the team clambers out through the windows onto the roof, in search of higher ground! Is this the end of the road for our intrepid adventurers? Find out in Calista's next Episode!

Episode 8: Just when the team was about to give up hope of rescue, a friendly Hydra or two happened along! Mrs hydra removed the ribbons from her heads of hair, and tied them all together to make a long enough rope to pull the bus from the mire. With a warning to proceed on foot, the Hydras waved goodbye to the team, and bid them farewell!

Episode 9: While the rest of the team trundled onwards, Scritch stopped briefly to paw at one of the little toads, curious about how high she could make it leap. So it's no surprise that Scritch was caught unawares when an ethereal green spirit kitteh snuck up on her from behind! Scritch tried to turn around, caterwauling, yowling and hissing her displeasure at the inappropriate treatment she was receiving, wondering when the rest of the team would notice that she had been waylaid?

Episode 10: Formulating a strategy to escape from the wicked ethereal green spirit kitteh, Scritch rolled over and played dead, catching the kitteh off guard. And when the kitteh turned around to politely cough up a phantom hairball, Scritch seized the opportunity, and made her escape!

Episode 11: Hiding behind a pumpkin, Scritch snickered to herself, as the wicked ethereal green spirit kitteh searched high and low for Scritch, but to no avail! As soon as the opportunity presented, Scritch would hightail it back to the team, vowing to never again allow her curiosity to cause her to become separated from them!

Episode 12: Like any other skill, magic needs to be practiced regularly, so Nibbles decides to put on an impromptu Magic Show for the little toads that have been helping the team along their journey through the Swamp. For Nibbles' first trick, he plans to pull a rabbit out of his hat. Lucky for Nibbles, this is the first Magic Show that any of the little toads have ever seen, so they don't realise that the blue scaly monster that Nibbles pulls out is not exactly what he had intended to conjure! Nonetheless, Nibbles shoves it back into the hat, and tries again...

Episode 13: Nibbles reversed the magic words he had used when he conjured a blue scaly monster instead of the rabbit he was trying to conjure, hoping for success... but... all that happened was the blue scaly monster again emerged from the hat, but in reverse! The little toads all thought this was what Nibbles had intended to happen, so to a toad, they thought he was very clever, and clapped and cheered most loudly!

Episode 14: Not one to give up easily, Nibbles decided to have a third and final attempt to conjure a rabbit from his hat! And technically his trick might be considered a success, because Nibbles is, after all, a rabbit! But what is the the blue scaly monster doing on the stage? And did the blue scaly monster really just EAT Nibbles' magician's wand?

Episode 15: Oh noes! Nopet had warned the team that the Swamp was haunted? The team members all huddle together, trembling in their boots... errh, paws... while the wicked Hauntzels fly all around them, their boos resonating and echoing all throughout the Swamp!

Episode 16: Taking advantage of the team being all huddled together in fright, the Hauntzels decide to capture them, and begin tying them up in a haunted rope. Is this the end of the line for our erstwhile explorers? Tune in to Calista's next action packed Episode to find out!

Episode 17: Just when the team thought their luck had finally run out, rescue came from an unexpected ally, a colony of Swamp Bats who just happened to be the arch rivals of the Hauntzels!

Episode 18: As is their wont, the team have befriended many of the helpful little toads they have encountered along the way. Some of these toads offered the team advice, suggesting they needed to find a tornado to get home. But one particular little toad formed an overly fond attraction for Nibbles... an unlooked for complication, if the truth be told!

Episode 19: Nibbles' eyes almost popped right out of his head when his would-be-paramour presented him with the toadish equivalent of a bunch of flowers. Nibbles was in a quandary! How to reject the gift without offending the giver?

Episode 20: Nibbles realised he should have spoken up sooner, when the little toad mistook Nibbles' silence for lovesickness, and hopped right up onto his head, intending to travel to the ends of the Swamp with him!
Fortunately for Nibbles, the little toad had a short attention span, and soon transferred her affection and her gifts to the next toad they encountered along the way!

Episode 21: After a long and arduous trek through the Swamp, the team finally emerges into a clearing, where they spot a tornado rising out of the murky water. "I told you so!" Shouts their little toad escort, hopping up and down, as she points to the tornado and the funny little cottage that appears to have risen out of the swamp.

Episode 22: Thinking they have nothing to lose, the team enters the little cottage, knowing not what they might discover inside. But our stoic little adventurers are instantly overcome by the fetid smell emitted by the Swamp Maid, and Nibbles is afraid to gaze upon the decayed form of this wicked witch! As the team huddles together in fright, Scritch whispers quietly into one of Nibbles' beautiful big ears...

Episode 23: What Scritch knew instinctively, and whispered to her fellow travellers was... that just as good always overcomes evil, white magic by its very nature is stronger than black magic, so the wicked Swamp Maid could easily be overcome, provided they all work together as a team. With that in mind, Nibbles handed out magic wands, and the team banded together to magic the Swamp Maid away...

Episode 24: Attracted by the white magic particles filtering through the air, the tornado bursts into the cottage, with such forward momentum that it sucks up everything in its path, including the entire team and the cottage itself, and just keeps on going... and going... and going...

Episode 25: When the magic particles dissipate, and the tornado winds down, the team look around themselves in wondrous surprise. The momentum of that mighty tornado has clearly carried them all the way home to PnF Land! The team invites Calista to join them for a celebratory feast, before returning to Calista's My Pets Page, to change over visitors before the next Episode begins...
