Episode 1: Once again, it's a lovely day in the world of Pets 'n' Friends. Cupig looks out at the world from the balcony of his penthouse suite in New Pork City. The world is at his trotters.

Episode 2: Then one day, Cupig is mysteriously missing. The gaze that watched every move on Pork Avenue has gone. Without it, nothing is quite the same. The street Cupig built with his riches seems twisted without him. Even the perennial good weather seems to have deserted the street.

Episode 3: Cupig's uncle Frank, like any good capitalist pig, knows the exact value of all his assets. He has all the drive and ambition he could ever need, but he is also wise enough to know that Cupig is the brains of his operation. Whenever a new situation in the food industry needs a smart solution, Frank turns to his nephew. So when he finds Cupig mysteriously missing, Frank wastes no time solving the problem with the only method he understands: money.

Episode 4: Saphira liked the idea of a reward. Without stopping to ask Frank for advice, Saphira went to Cupig's penthouse to ask the doorporker if they had seen anything. Before asking, Saphira saw a trail of tiny gems leading away from a wall which had no door in it. Cupig was known to carry little gems around to give as gifts. What if he had dropped them in flight? So Saphira tried following them.

The trail led out into the country, to a place easily seen from Cupig's penthouse apartment. The gems ended at a strange object which pulsed and shimmered. What could it be?

Episode 6: The mysterious portal begins to draw Saphira towards it. The more Saphira struggles, the greater the pull. Just as Saphira realises the answer is not to struggle, it is too late! A haunting world shimmers into view, full of darkness and dreadful creatures. A strange violet creature also appears; despite the fearful sights, it seems to be in very good humour.

"Welcome!" says the creature with a smile. "Oh - you're not supposed to be here!"

"Get me out of here!" yells Saphira. "What on earth have you got to laugh about?"

"Earth? Where is that?" replies the creature. "I am a Bubble Head, and this is Bubble Land - well, just one version of it, the one nobody wants to be in. I know it seems crazy to be laughing, but I have seen the end of the story, and it fills me with joy! Follow me; I will follow the gems to the other side. Cupig has already followed the gems with me; once he fell in here, I told him this was the only way he would ever find true love. You will see what happened to him as we go."

Saphira began to see what had happened to Cupig ...

Cthulwho love the gems, so it is only by luck that Cupig will find any gems remaining on the trail. Cupig realises, however, that he is not afraid of the Cthulwho...well, not very much afraid...because he is so busy concentrating on getting where he is going!

Episode 17: Sadly, there are bullies everywhere, even in Bubble Land, so Cupig was upset by some insensitive and unkind words. Fortunately for Cupig, he remembered Uncle Frank's advice, "Always stand up to bullies!" So Cupig pulled out his bow and threatened to shoot love and happiness into the hearts of these bullies! Uncle Frank's advice worked, and Cupig was soon on his way again, whistling quietly to himself...

Episode 19: Cupig doesn't have much practice at wallowing in fresh water at all, because Uncle Frank thinks it is bad for a pig's complexion.

Episode 23: The vision faded. With it went the Bubble Head. Then the Dreamer appeared. Saphira had heard of her, but the tale could not match the reality.

"Now you have seen Cupig's fears" she said. "He is not here; he has other things to face before he can go home. When you walk through this portal, you will be back in New Pork City, with a magnificent egg to show Frank as proof of your tale. He will reward you.

You have learned of Cupig's fears, but only I can see his whole nature. You and your friends will share in understanding parts of it. If you come to understand it all between you, I will invite you to see Cupig's future."

With that, she disappeared. Saphira went through the portal, shaking with relief.

Episode 24: Saphira was suddenly back on Pork Avenue. Before them was a magnificent egg, as the Dreamer had promised. Close by was Frank. Saphira tried to speak, but no words came out. Frank could not bear to look into the egg, but seemed relieved that it had been brought to him.

"You can keep the egg," he said. "You have already seen what is in it, so you alone have nothing to fear from it. You cannot be expected to go back into the portal; I will see if anyone else dares to go. You have earned your reward. Here are some coins - now come with me."

Episode 25: Frank drove Saphira into the countryside, where he presented Saphira with a unique home by the side of its own duck pond. It was quite unlike any other home Saphira had seen before. So Saphira thanked Frank and set about making it their home. No more gourd house for Saphira! Frank went back to New Pork City to carry on waiting for his nephew to be found.
