Viki is questing!
Episode 1: While Viki was casually strolling along the glitzy boulevard of neon lights and gaudy decor on the old run down part of town, an intricately decorated tour bus pulled up to the curb.

Sauntering up to the bus, Viki recognizes Nibbles the Prestidigitation Master! Sure, he's a fading star, but he's still a star! Viki thinks, maybe they'll give me a job? Asking Scritch if there's anything Viki can do to help, she's only too happy to have an extra set of paws, and promptly puts Viki to work on unloading the bus, and helping get the stage set.

Episode 2: While waiting on the apron of the stage, Viki wipes down sweaty paws. Carrying all that gear was a little more work than Viki thought! Now to see if there is anything else Viki can do?

Nibbles just stands there with that lost look on his face, but Scritch takes the time to quickly daydream of using Viki as her replacement in this show, and leaving behind the daily drudge of babysitting the dizzy Priscilla, the slightly inebriated Al and of course, Nibbles, who is a case unlike any other. In the slow blink of a cat's eye, she envisions standing on the stage herself, surrounded by the media horde, shimmering lights focused on her.

Why yes, Viki, how would you like to emcee the show tonight?

Viki thinks this is the luckiest day EVER!

Episode 3: Nibbles, the of the show, takes center stage, with his magic wand held high, lights the fuse with the flick of his paw!

Scritch, working silently behind the scenes, slowly pushes a CANNON onto the stage!

Using the best stage voice, Viki announces that Nibbles will be shooting his assistant, Priscilla, out of the cannon!

Viki is questing!
Episode 4: Carefully stuffing Priscilla into the barrel of the cannon Nibbles astonishes Viki and the audience with conjuring up a mystical magical mayhem, unlike anything anyone's ever seen before!

While hurtling through the air, Nibbles has a sinking feeling that perhaps, just maybe, he used the wrong incantation!

Viki is questing!
Episode 5: Caught in a swirling vortex of color, shape and sounds, the audience and Viki stare transfixed to the stage!

Clapping excitedly, the audience is completely unaware that this, right here, is not what Nibbles had in mind when he swished that wand up high.

Al, the resident stuntman, can't control the mayhem converting the stage into a magical playground, and decides to go along with it, all the while hoping that it ends soon!

Viki getting caught in the spinning magic, wonders where this is really going to wind up... Viki has a feeling it's not going to be Kansas!

Viki is questing!
Episode 6: BANG! "Well now, Viki, I don't know what just happened, but I think Nibbles just landed us in another dimension........" said Al.

"Well, I could deal with another dimension, as long as there are pretty pink things to see," said Priscilla. She remained on the bus, grooming her luscious pink hair, afraid to get icky magical leftovers still floating about in it.

"NIBBLES! THE BUS!", cried Scritch. And with that, a sproinging noise, previously unheard by Viki, shot forth strange sprockets and cogs and parts.

"Now," said Nibbles, "wherever do you think my wand went? Bother, not a problem, I'll just knock on that door over there, I'm sure they'll see our peril and help!"

Scritch looks about dubiously at their surroundings and wonders, yet again, why she signed on for this? And if Viki would be interested in taking over the job?

Viki is questing!
Episode 7: "There, there! Look! See how helpful these, er... um.. fairies.... are?" said Nibbles, while he scrambled up the nearest tree.

Al, not waiting to see if the ethereal beings surrounding the bus were friendly, joined Priscilla as a means of blending in with the surroundings. Taking a brief nip out of his flask, he hands it to Priscilla for a swig

Scritch, on the other paw, falls into a meditative state, and channels her inner kitteh, slowly gazing around the trees, realizing with ever sharpening clarity that these "fairies" are not fairies at all, but a relative of hers, previously thought to be extinct! Paws shaking with excitement, Scritch speaks the tongue of the ancient kittehs, placing her plea for help with the bus. Conjuring up the old magic, her cousins of yore rumble with a deep, vibrating purr, bringing the bus back to life.

"Nibbles, you better get back on the bus before that thing decides to take off again," yelled Al from the confines of his secure hiding spot.

Scritch is torn, stay or go? Viki on the other hand, knows it's time to go and gets on the bus, toot sweet!

Viki is questing!
Episode 8: And with a flourish as yet unseen before on the stage or screen, the magical kittehs warp time and space, pushing and pulling the bus full of inhabitants into the next world.

Nibbles, afraid to see his favorite mode of transportation in various states of matter, covers his eyes, hoping that the images floating in space around him aren't very real. There are not only kittehs of yore, but there seems to be a colony of very frightening looking bats encircling the group. With a last metallic skreetch and a loud wooden thump, the party is deposited unceremoniously on the deck of a dark and mysterious ship.

Episode 9: And lightning fast, without warning, the tour bus spins, and pops into the ocean trenches, transforming into a submarine, allowing the gaggle of magicians to explore the mountains in the depths below. Viki is peering out the window, watching in fascination as there are strangely illuminated fish floating leisurely past.

Viki is questing!
Episode 10: Nibbles dug down deep in his hat full of magic tricks to procure a special one for he and Scritch, allowing them to float freely among the Lantern Fish, who by all accounts, appear overly curious about the new arrivals. Al suspended upside down, realizes that Viki has given the controls to one of the magical toads they had encountered. Humming along, it's catchy tune seems to be something about a baby shark? However, Al is really wanting to know how to find the way home, and where that tornado might be?

Priscilla, preening and primping in her little pocket mirror, realizes that the Lantern Fish swimming stealthily up behind the sub, has it's mouth open, and thinking quickly................................

Viki is questing!
Episode 11: Priscilla tosses out her personal stash of pink zombie cakes, causing a feeding frenzy among the Lantern Fish, but allowing the team to deploy the cloaking device, hiding them sufficiently for them to decode the cryptic message from the toad, and avoiding being the next meal.

Viki returning to the helm, swoops in just as Priscilla is running out of zombie cakes and beams her aboard.

"EUREKA!" cries out Al, as while tipping up the dregs of his flask, realizes that the toad said the tornado could be found on a mountain. Which, sadly, Al doesn't realize, it could be ANY mountain, anywhere. But with a swish of the magic wand, Nibbles sends the team careening off to find another one!

Viki is questing!
Episode 12: "Uh, Nibbles? What have you done? Where are we now?" asked Viki

Nibbles stares around himself and takes in the surroundings, "Uh, um. Yeah, a mountain. We're on a mountain."

Priscilla, tired of the fresh mountain air, which is fluffing her pinkalicious pink fur, wants to just get on the bus (by the way, where is that darn thing?) and get to the tornado. Although, she hopes it's a magical tornado that doesn't ruin her perfectly poised posh pink fur... Looking this good is hard work!

"Al!" yelled Scritch, "Are you coming?"

Al, tucking his flask in his pocket, backs up just a little further, as whatever that thing is standing on the trail, looks like it just went a few rounds with a t-rex.

A very whispy, whispery voice, barely louder than the breeze, was picked up by Nibble's big bunny ears. "Welcome, welcome! Come, come, I have been expecting you."

Viki is questing!
Episode 13: Viki and Scritch, anxious to just find someone who's actually helpful, start to follow this, this, caterpillar? down the trail.

Still hearing the faint whisper of a voice, Nibbles focuses on following the sound, hoping for clear and concise directions on where to find that blasted tornado.

Suddenly, without warning, sparks of light start pouring out of the caterpillar, blinding Nibbles, while the rest of the crew takes cover in the jagged rocks on the mountain trail.

Viki is questing!
Episode 14: Nibbles and his friends are caught between being horrified and mesmerized as the caterpillar starts to implode right before them! And Scritch has realized the sky has turned black, even though her bitfit watch says it's only 1pm. Beginning to get a strange goosebump feeling skittling up her spine, Scritch knows they must be getting close to the mountain they need to find that tornado on.

Al, watching the sky darken, has a sinking feeling. The sky didn't really darken, it's filled with a colony of bats, strangely flying during daylight hours. What kind of mountain is this? Viki catches a whiff of something foul, and in a flash of blinding white light, the caterpillar disappears. "Hey, Nibbles, maybe YOU could learn that trick!"

Nibbles, not amused at all, shoots Viki his best withering look.

Viki is questing!
Episode 15: Gliding effortlessly through the deep cosmos, Scritch uses her sharpened claws to hang on tight to the ship's hull.
Al, ever wanting solitude to partake of his flask habits, climbs the rigging to navigate the stars and hopefully guide the friends to a suitable planet.

Nibbles seems confused about why Priscilla and Viki headed to the galley for snacks. Nibbles is quite seasick from the ordeal, or would that be airsick? Oh my, whatever it is, it's about to hurl out of his gut faster than that speeding comet barreling down on them..............

Viki is questing!
Episode 16: With a resounding thump, the friends find themselves deep in a spacious mountain cavern, where the walls are decked out in the grooviest gems!

"Croak! Croak!"

"NIBBLES! Did you hear that?" asked Al, as he stood behind the stalagmite, prying up gems with his Swiss army knife.
Nibbles, spying strange blue horny goat/monster/things stomping loudly down the cavern, covers his eyes, pretending that if he doesn't see these creatures, they certainly can't see him.

"CROAK! CROAK!" the frogs, blending in almost seamlessly with the glowing gems, appear to be trying to tell Scritch and the crew something...

"Well, now, I do believe these chaps are trying to say something to us," declared Al. Al, a reptilian mutation of sorts, can barely make out what it is they are saying. As you know, they are amphibians..... But slowly he hears the voices say, "Carry on wayward son, there will be peace when you find the tornado!" Translating for the rest, he stashes a few more treasures in his Al-igator shoes.

Viki notices that those things are coming closer, and while they are smiling, it's not an overly welcoming smile, and what is that SMELL!?

Viki is questing!
Episode 17: Barely escaping with bags of gems, the friends ponder the cryptic message of the toad, and wonder as they wander, checking the skies for tornadoes, how they can get them home. Scritch needs to call her fence. These otherworldly gems will be worth a fortune! Maybe it'll be enough to quit this job, and put her own show together!

Heading to see what mode of transportation awaits, the friends decide that no matter what it is, it's time for a nap!

Viki is questing!
Episode 18: With a sonic BOOM!, the team appears on another mountain top, this one complete with cannibals. Scritch scrambled quickly up the tree, for everyone loves a kitteh, and he has heard rumors of how some love kittehs in the soup.

In a strange unison of vocals, the cannibals start gently swaying, trying to lure Nibbles and Viki, the hypnotic stares drawing them closer. Al, already slightly inebriated, resists, and motions for Priscilla to hang back. Thinking as quickly as his fuddled brain will allow, he flashes his flashlight, stopping Nibbles and Viki from climbing in the pot.

Viki is questing!
Episode 19: Growing tired from magically transporting everyone in the group, Nibbles decides he needs to sit a minute to rest. Scritch, realizing the imminent danger of the situation, really wishes someone else would take over bunny sitting that dimbulb of a magical rabbit, and gazes at Viki like manna from heaven.

One of the magic toads, hovering over the pot of, well, questionable ingredients, appears to be slowly growing bigger right before their eyes. While watching the strange phenomenon, Al hopes that this will be the toad that will reveal the way home. And, of course, a place he can refill his flask.........

Priscilla on the other hand, hopes that if she winds up in the pot, she looks good on the ingredients label.

Viki is questing!
Episode 20: croak.CroaK!RIBBIT! Scritch rubbed her eyes. The toad, like that girl who blew up like a blueberry, is huge! Listening closely to the chatter of the toad, Scritch hopes that Al and his ancient genetic connection is translating all this, realizing that not only is the toad telling them the location of the tornado, but it's showing them with a MAP!

Viki and friends try to snap a pic with their smartphone, but when they review the gallery, there are no toads, no cannibals in the picture... just endless mountain vistas.

Episode 21: Climbing higher, skirting the grove of trees borne of evil, the crew spies a tornado hovering over a dark, eerie castle situated on a far off craggy ledge. Viki contemplates seriously how they are going to navigate the forest, and reach the castle in one piece.

Viki is questing!
Episode 22: Nibbles, reciting an ancient incantation, manages to teleport the group to the front gates of the foreboding castle, covered in bats and a mysterious fug.

Al, knocking on the door, instantly regrets his decision! Glowing toxic neon green eyes peer out into the dark of night, taking in the crew and their disheveled state. "Why are you disturbing the Prince of Darkness at this hour? Who are you? Why are you here?!"

Priscilla, who barely utters a word, steps out from behind Nibbles and declares "What is wrong with YOU!? Can't you see we're weary travelers? Where are your manners? You should be inviting us in and giving us tea and crumpets!"

Viki watches in horrified fascination as the gate keeper slowly opens the gate and allows them to enter. "Touch nothing" he warns. "or it may mean your life!"

Viki is questing!
Episode 23: Al, finally getting sober from the flask having been emptied quite some time now, comes to the realization that the magical toads have been warning him that this gatekeeper is the only one who can tell them the secret incantation to produce the needed tornado to get them home.

Nibbles, handing out the wands that he forgot he had tucked in his fluffy bunny tail, tells the group to swish and flick on the count of three, and hopefully they can magic up ropes and chains to shackle the gatekeeper! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! and swish! flick! Happily, ropes and chains appear as conjured and the team quickly works in unison to tie the gate keeper to the wall.

Viki is questing!
Episode 24: Nibbles, confidence boosted by actually performing a trick that worked, tickles the gate keeper until, dripping a little laughpee, he divulges the magic words needed to be uttered to take the tour home.

ABRA! ABRA! ABRA CADABRA! TORNADO, TORNADO! TAKE US HOME!

With a force of a wind as never experienced before, the team begins to whip and whirl, tipping over and upside down, growing smaller as the wind grew bigger! Wherever this tornado was taking them, it was beyond their control anymore, and Nibbles hoped the gate keeper didn't lie.....

Viki is questing!
Episode 25: With a thump, the team lands in a tropical paradise, complete with a duplicate of the castle from the mountain, minus the bats!

Taking a well deserved break, sipping mai tais and shirley temples, the team bids farewell to Viki, who races back to their My Pets Page for a well deserved rest, while a different Pet gets ready for the next Magic Show. Meanwhile Nibbles and the team finish up their drinks, trying to remember where Scritch parked the bus.....
