Episode 1/29: Summer is the best time for sports festivals. There was a rumour that Sam was going to create one, but since Sam is a turtle, it wasn’t that hard to beat him to it. The Mouse in Trousers got there first! He announced the most auspicious event of the year, thus:

"There shall be a magnificent festival of sport, in which the Fast and the Furriest shall compete to win one of a magnificent set of racing cars!"

Episode 2/29: Sam wasn’t pleased. As Captain of the Power Pets Sports Club, he sees himself as the authority on sport. So he climbed onto the stage and said he should have been in charge. The Mouse replied, off mike:

"If I left it to you, the entire competition would have been fixed from the beginning. Your Champions would have won everything. I hate cheating! My sports festival will be FAIR!"

Flounder, who likes to have his nose in everything, had followed Sam to see what he was up to. He hid from the Mouse, and heard everything, but was not sure whether Sam had seen him or not.

Episode 3/29: Next day, SHIVA was wandering through Weston Plaza when she saw a sign: "Snoopers wanted! Meet at the Drunken Dolphin!"

Episode 4/29: “Oh, have you come about the job?” asked Flounder, finally noticing SHIVA. “We could do with a Three-Tailed Fox in the team. We shall be trying to catch Sam’s Champions cheating in the games. Meet Owl Pacino, Jake and Ferdinand Junior. They are all experts in their sports, but they haven’t been around here long. I want someone who knows Pets ‘n’ Friends inside out to take charge of them. You’ll do! Just take notes on what they discover and then report back to me. If those Champions cheat, I’m going to make sure they pay for it!”

SHIVA said she didn’t like cheating either, so she gladly agreed.

Episode 5/29: Flounder took the team outside. “It’s going to be hard work keeping up with the flow of events,” he said, “so I have provided the team with a horse.”

“But we can’t cover all 15 events, even with a horse!” said SHIVA.

“Right, this team will be investigating Sailing, Tree Climbing and Firebreathing,” said Flounder. “There are bound to be expenses and you deserve a reward, so I shall be paying you in gems.

Episode 6/29: At the inaugural ceremony, all the competitors were gathered before the Mouse in Trousers, who had dressed in a wig to show the competitor’s oath would be legally binding. “As sole author of rules and regulations, I require you to repeat after me: I shall not cheat or play tricks on my opponents!”

As SHIVA listened, she thought she could hear some deliberate mumbling, and saw quite a few paws being crossed behind the backs of the Champions.

“And don’t think you can get away with mumbling!” said the Mouse. “Rule 1: you must take the oath! If you don’t take it you are out, and if you break it you’re out. I’ve got you both ways!” SHIVA suppressed a laugh as she noticed Sam the Turtle rolling his eyes. “May the Fast and Furriest pets win!” said the Mouse.

Episode 9/29: While SHIVA and the crew were spying on Ferdinand, they sauntered over to the sailing event, checking to see how Skipper is handling all the stress of his competition. The group, seeing that nothing seemed out of place, might have missed the gas bombs that Skipper planted under the surface, and when the sailors bump into them, the gases escape, causing fits of laughter. And if you've ever burst into a fit of giggles, you know first hand that not much gets done!

Episode 10/29: Ferdinand hides in the closet, leaving SHIVA and the investigators cleaning up a big mess, while he chomps down ghost peppers, sure to give him the winning edge in fire breathing! SHIVA smelled something sulphury and spied Ferdinand chewing the peppers, and scribbled notes on her clipboard. SHIVA wonders at all the clever things Ferdinand has concocted to use as cheats. Maybe if Ferdinand put as much time and energy in training as he does cheating, he could really be amazing!?

Episode 11/29: Ferdinand, adored by the cheering crowd, wheeled out onto the target field in his old fashioned fire truck, dressed up as a firefighter. Taking the targets out, he blasted the competitor's targets, one by one, until they were all coated in fire retardant, ensuring his win today. The crowd, accustomed to Ferdinand's little quirks, roared with laughter at the sight, never once believing that the canister actually held anything that would give Ferdinand an edge. SHIVA however, along with the investigative crew, had a sinking feeling this might be one of many of Ferdinand's wily cheats.

Episode 13/29: Underhandedness and cheats, Ferdinand has it down to a T! Ordering the newest box office hit, and setting up a movie night, Ferdinand snuck out while the competitors binged on show tunes and popcorn, popping candy bits and sipping sodas.

Episode 14/29: Hucking a snake oil charm, Ferdinand convinces the flame throwers to inject some of this Super Flame Throwing Oil, guaranteed to blow your mind and the target out of the arena. Ferdinand giggled a little as each competitor queued up to get their shot, which was actually a special concoction of water and flower water, with a secret ingredient Ferdinand found prevents flames from forming. SHIVA, scribbles a note on the chart, wondering how this could be a cheat?

Episode 15/29: Ferdinand, seeking a warm place to rest his weary bones, climbed into the eternal flame. Rumour has it that the flames have a charging property, and that by soaking up the fire and brimstone, Ferdinand basks about waiting for the next event.

Episode 17/29: Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Ferdinand flew up on the official team bus, carrying the competition, and careened past, covering everyone aboard in a sheen of dust. Ferdinand chuckled a little, as that was exactly how he liked his competition, in the dust. The driver, unable to see the road ahead, pulled to the side, waiting... Unfortunately, it also meant that the bus would miss the event time. SHIVA and the team, grabbing up a fast horse, tried to keep up with Ferdinand, but knew that he would reach the field first, and SHIVA wondered what other cheats he might come up with?

Episode 21/29: Imagine that, SHIVA said as the group of investigators followed Ferdinand to outer space, do you think that there really are magical flamethrowing properties in a comet?

Episode 22/29: While the spectators gazed at the incredible sight of the fading sun into the cover of darkness, Ferdinand took a little libation, counting on the cover of darkness to help conceal his crafty cheat. The concoction, centuries old, was one guaranteed to kick his fire breathing into high gear, giving him the edge he'd been craving. SHIVA managed to catch a glimpse of the chugging, and after Ferdinand finished, grabbed the empty cup and sent it off for forensic testing.

Episode 23/29: Ferdinand, while the spectators look on in wonder, boldly saunters up to the targets on the field, and starts to squirt his intended target with a liquid that smells suspiciously like lighter fluid. When asked about the content, Ferdinand quietly shrugs his shoulders, and explained to the Inquiry Board that the smell is actually his new aftershave, and he was putting water on his target to not give himself an unfair advantage over his competitors. SHIVA scratched on the clipboard, making notes and not quite believing Ferdinand's tale, but would he really cheat so boldly?

Episode 24/29: Ferdinand, styled in his favorite pair of sunshades, craftily turned the competitors targets so they were in the direct view of the blazing sun, glinting off the chrome holders, blinding his audience and the participants of this round.

Episode 26/29: The Mouse in Trousers was disappointed that the Champions had won all the events. "Still," he said to himself, "at least I forced them to win honestly. That's all that matters."

"Wait a minute!" said Flounder. "I have in my fins a vast dossier listing countless ways in which these pets have CHEATED!"

The Mouse was overjoyed. "Rule 1!" he cried. "No cheating!"

"We mumbled the oath!" replied the Champions. "We never took it!"

"Rule 1 also says you can't compete if you didn't take the oath!" said the Mouse triumphantly. "You're not only disqualified, you are under a life time ban from any event held by me!"

The Champions exited the stage, moaning and groaning.

Episode 27/29: “But what shall I do with the race cars?” wondered the Mouse in Trousers.

“Is it too late to have a Rule 2?” asked Flounder. “Not if Rule 2 says it isn’t too late,” replied the Mouse. “Rule 2; rules can only be added before the prizes have been given, and snoopers get cheats' prizes!” said Flounder.

The Mouse was overjoyed. Each of the team stepped forward to receive a race car, even though the Mouse had to get an extra one for SHIVA.

“**** the Mouses’ rules!” he yelled. (He was having some trouble with the swearing filter). “I say again ****! What are the rules of the Power Pets Sports Club?”

“****, ***** and ******!” roared Sam. “You’re all fired!”

Episode 29/29: It was a happy day for Flounder. As SHIVA prepared to drive home, Flounder had another surprise for her. “When I saw the look on the Champions’ faces, I knew it had been worth all those gems. Far more, just to see them thrown out. Here’s your questly bonus of 20 GM; you deserve it!
