Esperanza is questing!
Episode 1/25: Esperanza sighs wistfully, watching clouds lazily drift across the sky. "Now this is a beautiful day."

A few hills away, a little fox and a rather large ant enjoy a quiet picnic.

"Today is beautiful."

"Far too nice to spend inside."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 2/25: Esperanza crosses over yet another hill, enjoying a cool spring breeze.

"Hey you!"

Esperanza looks around surprised, not realizing she wasn't alone among the hills. "Who? Me?"

"Yes you," called the rather large ant. "You hungry? We have plenty of food to share."

"Well, now that you mention it, I am."

The ant tosses Esperanza a fortune cookie. "Tell us what is says."

Esperanza opens the cookie taking out a piece of paper from inside. "Gems hold power, collecting them brings relief."

"Well that's a strange fortune."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 3/25: "I'm Drucille, by the way," the rather large ant says as Esperanza enjoys some fresh fruit.

"Sonya," says the little fox.

"Esperanza."

"It's a lovely day isn't it?" Sonya says looking up to the sky.

"Yes it is," Esperanza agrees looking up.

"We simply couldn't stay inside," Drucille tells her. "The fields are so beautiful right now, it's almost like the flowers are growing as we speak."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 4/25: "What...?"

Esperanza watches with wide eyes as the picnic food begins floating.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

One by one the picnic food pops to life, quickly running away.

"What's happening?" Sonya calls surprised.

"I've never seen anything like this!" Drucille calls.

"Help meeeeee!" calls an egg rolling away.

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 5/25: "We've got you!"

Acting quickly, Drucille and Sonya grab the egg from rolling away. They watch as their picnic is overun by large flowers, growing faster and larger every moment.

"Oh thank you," the egg says as it is stood up. "I owe you for saving me, I dred what might have happened if I had crashed!"

"Where did you come from?"

"I don't know... I just, was suddenly here."

"Do you have a name?"

"A name?"

"What others call you."

"Most pets just call me an egg."

"How about..." Drucille looks around at the many flowers around them, "How about Eglantine?"

"Oh I like the sound of that."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 6/25: Carefully rolling Eglantine between the tree-like flowers, Sonya, Drucille, and Esperanza quickly come across an peculiar flower.

"Is that..moving?"

"Forget moving, is it smiling?"

"Umm, excuse me..." Sonya says as she approaches the flower. "Do you need some help?"

The flower looks around confused. "Why aren't they talking?" The flower tugs gently on the stem of a giant flower. "Are you there?" The flower looks toward Sonya, "Why did they stop talking to me?"

"I.. I don't know," Sonya says slowly, looking at the large flowers. "But if you come with us maybe we can help you."

"Is there a basket around?" Eglantine asks with a laugh. "I'm going to get dizzy if I have to roll everywhere!"

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 7/25: POP!

Jumping in suprise, the egg wobbles around dangerously on newly formed legs.

"Oh my, this is..difficult!"

"Careful!" Drucille calls.

Eglantine laughs, taking a few steps, "This is fun! I won't have to roll around anymore like this! Say...where did all those others go?"

Looking around quickly, unable to see past the ongrowth of flower, Esperanza shouts, "They're gone!"

"They could get hurt!"

"They could get eaten!"

"Where did they go?"

"I can't see past the flowers!"

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 8/25: "Can you see anything?"

"Not yet, the flowers are too thick."

"Wait - I see something!"

Pushing their way out of the large flowers, a village is seen in the distance.

"Where are we?" Esperanza asks.

"I don't know this village," Sonya replies.

Eglantine laughs, "I could say that, too, but I've never been beyond the flowers before."

"Maybe the food came this way?"

"Only one way to find out."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 9/25: "Where should we look first?"

"Does it matter?"

"Maybe we should go door to door?"

"Maybe we - "

POP!

"Where are we?"

"It's cold!"

"Why is the ground soft?"

"Is that ice cream?"

"Does that ice cream have a face?"

"Why are there faces in the sky!?"

"I don't think that's the sky..."

"How did they get so big?"

"Did we get small?"

"Lookout! Spoon incoming!"

Diving between piles of ice cream, Esperanza looks around nervously, trying to find the others.

"Where are you?"

"Where are you?"

"Grab that ice cream and let's get out of here!"

"Grab which ice cream?"

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 10/25: POP!

"Oh my head hurts."

"What smells so good?"

"Where are we?"

"Is this a house? Everything is so big!"

"Does it belong to a troll?"

"Maybe we're still small..."

"Look, over there!"

"Someone grab them! We can't let them get eaten!"

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 11/25: POP!

"Oh not again!"

"Where we now?"

"Is that the village from earlier?"

"Where'd all the flowers go?"

"My head hurts."

"I'm exhausted."

"Is this how walking normally works?"

"What's the noise?"

"Is it a bear?"

"Bears don't sound like that."

"What's a bear?"

"It's an airplane!"

"What's an airplane?"

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 12/25: "All aboard!"

"Where are we going?"

"Does it matter?"

Esperanza drags herself onto the airplane. Large containers of gems line one wall, a red fox examines the assortment of foods walking around, as the foods talk to each other excitedly. Today has gotten strange...

"So yer tryin' to find these uh..foodthingys?" Captain Badger asks.

"Yes," Esperanza and the red fox respond. They exchange looks.

"You?"

"You?"

"I don't want them to get hurt."

"I'm trying to help them."

"Help them?"

"I think I know what made them."

"I tell you sumthin'," Captain Badger interrupts. "You lot make this deliv'ry for me, an' I'll take this here fox and foodthingys wher'vr they needs to go."

Esperanza looks at the red fox suspiciously, "You really think you can help them?"

"You collect as many gems and these foods as you can find, and meet me at Mushroom Forest. Things will get set right."

Esperanza looks at Drucille and Sonya, both shrugging.

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 13/25: Nervously approaching a large castle sitting in the clouds, Esperanza carries one fo the many containers of gems. With a lound clang! the gate rises from the castle, trolls marching out to meet them.

Eglantine watches the trolls curiously. "What are they?"

"Trolls, big ones."

"What's a troll?"

Esperanza glanced at Eglantine, uncertain how to answer.

Sonya nudges Drucille forward.

"Uh - hello. We-we have a, uh, delivery. From Captain Badger."

With a low grumble the trolls examine the containers of gems brought to them.

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 14/25: "Thief!" comes a deep rumble from the castle.

"You'll never take me alive!"

Esperanza looks around confused trying to find who was shouting, she spots an eggplant running on a cloud above the castle.

"Uhh... I think we're in trouble..."

Esperanza looks around finding her group surrounded by trolls. "Do they think we're thieves? We just brought them gems!"

"Trolls aren't very bright..."

"Hey what's that?" Sonya calls loudly pointing toward the castle. The trolls turn looking where she pointed.

"Run!" Drucille yelps, taking off across the clouds.

"Where are we going?" Esperanza yells following Drucille.

"Follow the eggplant!"

"Where did it go?"

"Did it jump?"

A loud rumbling, the trolls give chase.

"Jump!"

"But - "

"Just jump!"

Taking a deep breath, Esperanza jumps off the cloud.

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 15/25: "Ahhhh!"

"Whee!"

"Woohoo!"

"I think I'm going to be sick!"

Round and round Esperanza, Eglantine, Drucille, and Sonya spin as they slide down a large plant.

"My most daring escape yet!" yells the eggplant sliding down the plant.

"Does this go to the ground?"

"How do we slow down?"

"I don't belong here! My name isn't Jack!"

"I don't think that matters right now!"

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 16/25: "No! Don't go that way!"

"Don't think we have a choice!"

In a mixture of screams, Esperanza is flung with everyone else off the spiralling plant. With a mighty Splash! they land in a vast body of water.

Eglantine flails, "Help! I can't walk here!"

Sonya swims over allowing Eglantine to grab onto her.

"Is everyone okay?" Esperanza shouts.

"Moderately."

"I don't like walking here."

"A ship!"

"Another great adventure awaits!" shouts the eggplant.

Groaning, they swim towards the ship.

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 17/25: Panting, dripping wet, Esperanza climbs aboard the ship. "What is this?"

"A pirate ship?"

"My perfect match!" the eggplant growls. "Abandonned too!"

"I don't think it's abandonned," Sonya says pointing to a broccoli and radish walking around the ship.

"My, my, what have we here?" the broccoli asks.

"Where did you come from?" the radish inquires.

"We..uhh..."

"Just out for a walk!" Eglantine says cheerfully.

"You mean swim, Eglantine," Drucille says.

"What is a swim?"

"What is a walk?" the broccoli and radish ask together.

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 18/25: The radish walks around the ship, "We found this just sitting next to some wood sticking out the water. No one was around so we decided to grab it an go explore."

"Some wood sticking out of the water?"

"I don't know what it was, other creatures like you were walking around on it."

"A...dock?"

"You stole the ship?"

"How can we steal it when no one was watching it?"

"That's not - that's still stealing."

"Hmm, I don't think so..."

SPLASH!

"What was that?"

"Pear overboard!"

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 19/25: Begrudgingly, the radish and broccoli agree to abandon the ship after a long argument detailing what could happen if the rightful owners found them. Loaded in a small lifeboat, they row towards the pear floating in the water.

"Why did it jump?"

"Why did you jump?"

"I didn't jump!"

"What's a jump?"

"Not now, Eglantine."

"Is it like walking?"

"Later."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 20/25: The small boat rocks as they pull the pear onboard.

"Eep!"

"What was that?"

"Where did it come from?"

"Under there!"

Curled up under a seat, is a little avocado, shaking.

"Aw, it's okay, buddy," Sonya says softly, coaxing the avocado out of hiding.

"What do we do now?"

"Row for land?"

"Which direction?"

"Probably not the way we came... we don't want to run into the owners of that ship."

The eggplant points, "That way!"

Esperanza looks at Drucille and Sonya, shrugging their agreement.

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 21/25: Esperanza sighs, "That fox said to collect gems to help the foods, but we've not done well at that."

"We got a few," Eglantine says.

"I'm not sure enough."

"I have gems," the eggplant says.

"We do as well," replies the radish and broccoli together. "Are they important?"

"We're...not sure," Esperanza says. "We were told they would help if we can gather them."

"Help us?" Eglantine asks.

"That's what the fox said."

"You can have our gems," the raddish says, "We don't have a need for them, they were just pretty and shiny."

Drucille points ahead, "What is that?"

"Are those mushrooms?"

"Those are some big mushrooms."

"Is that the forest the fox talked about?"

"I guess we'll know soon enough."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 22/25: Climbing out of the small boat, they look around.

"Where do we go?"

"Do we wait here?"

"Let's look around, maybe we'll find something."

They walk around the island, looking up at the towering mushrooms.

"I didn't know mushrooms could grow this large."

"Neither did I."

"Neither did I."

"Neither did I." Esperanza looks at Eglantine is suprise. Eglantine shrugs, "I thought we were all saying it." Esperanza rolls her eyes.

"What's that?" Sonya calls from ahead.

"What's what?"

"I think it's a building."

Approaching closer, a small red building covered in fruit peaks through the mushrooms.

"It doesn't look like anyone is home."

"Maybe around front?"

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 23/25: Walking around the front of the building, they spot a fox with wings talking to some rocks.

"Umm, excuse me?" Esperanza says hesitantly approaching.

The fox with wings turns around quickly. "Oh! What are all of you doing here?"

"Well... we met another fox - one without wings - who told us to meet him here."

"Oh... you must mean my teacher."

"Teacher?"

"I'm sure he'll be around shortly." The fox floats over the the foods. "What are these?"

"Uh, well, you see..."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 24/25: The red fox they had met earlier appears on the island, leading the foods left in his care.

"Teacher! Look, guests!"

"Ah, you made it," the fox replies. "Were you able to collect those gems?"

"A few..."

"Let me see them." Eglantine hands over a basket full of various gems. "Excellent, these will work nicely."

"For..what, exactly?" Esperanza asks.

"To set things straight. You see, the Forest Fairy Fox here is a student of mine, but lately her magic has been running wild. I can use these gems to cast a spell to reign her magic back in, and fix the things her magic has affected."

Esperanza is questing!
Episode 25/25: Esperanza watches in awe as the red fox somehow transforms the eggs into energy. The fox moves his arms in strange motions, mixing the energy together. With a loud CLAP! the food Esperanza had helped gather all disappear, a basket sitting on the ground infront of the fox.

Sonya and Drucille watch in shock, a little sad their travel companions have been returned to their original forms. The red fox provides Esperanza, Sonya, and Drucille a small reward for helping him set things straight.
