Zimba is questing!
Episode 1/28: Zimba was strolling down Pork Avenue one day and was surprised to find there was still a phone booth in this day and age. "Just another way for Frank and his fellow swine to make money out of us", he thought. "Still, why not phone a friend? I left my cellphone at home."

Episode 2/28: As Zimba approached the phone booth, a curious thing began to happen. Starting behind Zimba, a grey cloud began to cover the street, taking all of the colour away.
Njagi the zebra and old Fossey the gorilla, who were both entirely black and white, saw the cloud coming.
"It's just like the story you told me about," said Njagi. "The African story of how the pied crow will one day take all the colour from the world!"
"Well we won't be affected!" said Fossey. "But our friends will! Follow me, I have a plan!"

Episode 3/28: "Hey!" shouted Zimba as Fossey and Njagi barged him out of the way. "I was here first! Finders keepers!"
"Look behind you," said Njagi.
"I'm not falling for that!" said Zimba. "What do you think this is, a pantomime?" But he could not help looking. By now the entire street had lost all its colour.
Fossey was already carrying out his plan. The answer to all their problems must begin in a world of only black and white, where no-one was affected by the draining effect of colour loss. He was dialling a friend from the 1950's - Squeezey Skeezle!

Episode 4/28: Fossey was answered by the operator. Zimba was astonished to hear her asking Fossey who he wanted to call ... and when? What kind of a phone booth was this? With that, the three creatures suddenly disappeared. Zimba had a last glimpse of a completely grey street. Had the whole world of PnF had all the colour drained from it? How? Why?

Episode 5/28: Back in the 1950's, Squeezey Skeezle ran a Petective Agency with his Pfuzzle cousins, one of whom was visiting at the time. The phone rang. "I wonder what year this call will be from?" Squeezey asked himself. "It had better be important, I just bought myself my first televizhun ... tellyvishun ... what do they call these things? And I was hoping to see all the cool shows they have on in the afternoon in glorious black, white and grey!"

Episode 6/28: Squeezey's major investment in Science Fiction startups had entitled him to a prototype time travel phone (and plenty else besides). So when Fossey appeared, that was no surprise. But he wasn't expecting three pets at once!
"Hi Squeezey," said Fossey. "The phone booth works just like you said it would."
"Really?" said Squeezey. "so when did you make your call from?"
"2019", said Fossey. Squeezey was amazed.
"I promised I would call you back one day!" said Fossey. "But I kind of missed the 1960's in a haze, and after that the world was just so, uh, colourful ... I wasn't keen to go back to black-and-white. But now 2019 has gone grey and we need your egg timer to fix it!"

Zimba is questing!
Episode 7/28: Squeezey grabbed the egg timer and led the group into the street while Fossey explained. "A story tells of a pied crow laying grey eggs all over the world, replacing coloured eggs. In this way it will steal all colour from the world!"
"And that's a bad thing?" asked Squeezey's pfuzzle cousin.
"Yes," said Zimba. "In 2019 pets come in all colours. Now they can't tell who is who!"
"Well that's no good," said Squeezey. "We better go find those eggs. My egg-timer can move them back in time before they were stolen. That way they will go colourful again and the bird's plan will fail before it begins."

Episode 8/28: Squeezey ushered them all into his car.
"How can driving enable us to travel in time?" asked Zimba.
"You should mix with the right crowd," said Squeezey. "I know all the best inventors ... here in the 50's we can even see pictures broadcast over radio waves!"
"Oh brother!" said Zimba. But to his astonishment, as Squeezey started the car up, there was a flash of colour and the street disappeared.
"How can we tell where we are going?" asked Zimba.
"No, WHEN we are going," smirked Squeezey. "But how we get there? If I tell you that, everyone will have one of these cars and your grandkids will be messin' with yer family history!"

Episode 9/28: As the team enters Zimba's home, to search for Easter eggs, to save the PnF world, Fossey Gorilla, who's hitched a lift with Njagi Zebra, reaches around behind him, and plucks an egg from ventians! Well done Fossey!!! I hope all of the other eggs are this easy to find, thinks Zimba!

Episode 10/28: Who would have thought that they'd stick an Easter egg to the under side of the desk, Zimba, wonders Powder Puff, looking on top of the desk? Well, they did! And lucky for us and the whole PnF world that our Fossey Gorilla mate is not just curious like Squeezey Skeezle, but dextrous as well, because my old knees wouldn't have handled climbing under that desk to find it! I did notice though, that Squeezey didn't have that same problem!? Maybe because Squeezey doesn't have any knees to worry about?

Episode 11/28: This egg finding business is really exhausting, says Fossey Gorilla to Zimba, who instantly offers Fossey his bed for a power nap! Meanwhile Njagi Zebra checks out Zimba's ballet shoes, hanging on the wall, and BINGO! An egg! Great find Njagi!

Episode 14/28: Luckily the team took their search for Easter eggs out on to the porch! And even luckier that Fossey Gorilla was awake for a change, or he might not have spotted the Easter egg hidden up high in a hanging basket, while he was swinging from the rafters!

Episode 15/28: So the frantic search for Easter eggs to save the PnF world from losing its colour moves on into Papa's study. Zimba and the team are normally banned from entering Papa's study, but Mama made an exception today, due to the urgency of saving the PnF world! And just as well! Because Fossey Gorilla found an egg inside of one of Papa's things!

Episode 16/28: That was a bit trixy, thinks Njagi Zebra, when Powder Puff points out the location of an Easter egg with her ear! Not trixy because Powder Puff used her ear, after all, she doesn't have any arms to point with... but trixy because the egg was almost the same colour as the greenery, making it especially difficult for the team to find!

Episode 17/28: While some team members are taking the opportunity to play with mama's makeup, Fossey is busy searching for and finding an Easter egg in mama's room! But what is Njagi Zebra up to? Do you think she plans to tattletale on the pfuzzles, Zimba?

Episode 18/28: The team were keen to search Zimba's bedroom, because they all knew that Zimba has a toy box full of cool stuffs to play with, and play is therapeutic, isn't it?

Episode 20/28: It's just as well Mama sent us all to the laundry to fold the washing, thinks Zimba, when Fossey Gorilla puzzles over how to fold the Easter egg they needed to find to save the PnF World! Njagi Zebra is just grateful that Easter egg didn't find its way into the tumble dryer, or it would have melted and made a BIG mess of her ballet costume!

Episode 21/28: Great, just what I created for, thinks the pfuzzle, peeling the spuds! But she does get a bit of a surprise when one of those spuds turns out to be one of the Easter eggs they were hoping to find!

Episode 22/28: Fossey is feeling rather chuffed to have spotted an Easter egg, well hidden in amongst the candycorn flowers! Squeezey points out grumpily that he would have grabbed it first, if only he had arms to grab it with!

Episode 23/28: Can there possibly be another egg inside, Zimba, asks Squeezey? For sure! Boasts Zimba. And low and behold, Fossey Gorilla proves Zimba is right, plucking an Easter egg right out of the bowl of fruit Fossey intended to snack on!

Episode 25/28: With their Easter baskets full of eggs, the team move on to their next egg hunt destination. But this time, when they arrive, the world is in colour and the egg is in black and white!

Episode 26/28: Having achieved their objective, the team returns to the 1950s. Astonishingly, even the 1950s have become colourful now! Curious about time travel, a 50's Shamrock Skunk wants to travel back to the future with Zimba, Fossey and Njagi. Zimba takes the little pet under his wing, so to speak, and offers to be its host in 2019!

Episode 27/28: In a puff of coloured smoke, Zimba, Fossey, Njagi and their new little friend materialise in 2019, to the astonishment of everyone on Pork Avenue! Unfortunately, the smoke has come from their precious time travel car, which now refuses to budge. So Zimba kindly offers to take the car back to his page, and tinker with it, to try to recharge the subatomic particles...

Episode 28/28: Though the team have brought colour back to their world, they are unaware the crow exists in five separate dimensions. Somewhere they can never go to, the pied crow has a nest full of coloured eggs. It throws out the ones the team have turned to black and white, for crows only love shiny things; but there are plenty more coloured eggs left in its nest.

Proud of their efforts,
the team thinks their quest is through;
the lights are dimmed,
and once again the stage is set for you.

And Zimba realises that it is time to return to his page, to give another pet the opportunity to experience this wonderful Quest!
