Pirate S is questing!
Episode 1/28: Pirate S 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 Pirate S approached the phone booth, a curious thing began to happen. Starting behind Pirate S, 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 Pirate S 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 Pirate S. "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. Pirate S 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. Pirate S 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!"

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 Pirate S. "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 Pirate S.
"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 Pirate S. 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 Pirate S.
"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: Bird watching? Seriously? Njagi was fascinated with the beauty of nature and enjoying the splendid colors blooming all over and around her. Coercing the gang to pit stop, Skeezle takes a little time to wipe down the car, giving it a little spit shine, unhappy that they are SO close to birds, because, well birds vs cars?
However, Pirate S and Fidget are sure they spotted a Classic Red Marble Egg hiding in the nest! Fossey, the natural born climber, begged the little flutters their forgiveness for being grabby, and snatched it right out.

Episode 10/28: Stopping at Pirate S's Aunt Meg's and loading up on kibble and steaks, the gang is relaxing outside, taking a much deserved rest, when Fossey realizes his tire swing has a Tan Paws Marble Egg in it!
Sweet! cried Pirate S, that gives us more time to hang out before we have to gas up and hit the road again!

Episode 11/28: Fidget is not taking part in gathering up this Neon Purple Paws Marble Egg! No way, he's a smart little pfuzzle! Fossey's in the back seat, sound asleep. Any time the gang takes a long road trip, he's out like a light. However, Skeezle and Pirate S are about to toss a coin and see who has to take the Neon Purple Paws Marble Egg out of the mailbox. Because as Pirate S warned them, removing mail from a mail box is against the law if it's not yours!

But the group really, really thinks it's one from their odyssey.

Episode 12/28: Well, I certainly hope that this dog likes little pfuzzles, said Fidget. Skeezle's super sharp eyes managed to pick out a Lil Stinker Egg in the middle of a fancy dog house, and the gang is getting ready to load it up. But wait, what is that Fossey sees in the distance? Is that really a dog?

Episode 13/28: While Njagi waited patiently for the service station to send help for their flat tire, the friends decided they would hit the mall, spending a little free time in the food court, sampling foods. Pirate S maked out a Harlequin Egg in the shelter, and excitedly loaded up the car!

Episode 14/28: Skeezle! Stop! Cried Pirate S. I want to go shopping!
Skeezle rolled his eyes, but since Pirate S was giving up the gas money, he pulled over.
Fidget, the cuddly little pfuzzle, topped off with a stylish chapeau, and the crew joined in the fun of trying on different hats.
Pirate S, getting tired of it all, spied the Spring Awakening Marble Egg lurking under a garden bonnet!

Episode 15/28: Doot, doot, doot, doot, dooo! Doo! Doo! hummed Njagi, sounding a lot like that old tv show about impossible missions.
Fossey is holding the flashlight for Pirate S, who's about to lower down from the ceiling, Tom Kruise style, and snatch that Flower Power Marble Egg right out of it's display case.
Skeezle's keeping the car running to make a quick get away, and Fidget is counting his Silver Moles, in case bail needs posted after this!

Episode 16/28: Standing in the town square, fighting er, discussing! Yes, enthusiastically discussing the next place to search for an egg, Skeezle gassed up the convertible, while Fossey did what he does best, and climbed to the highest peaks, looking for vines to swing on. When what does Fossey's wandering eyes spot, but an Easter Egg! ...or is that a stained glass window? A little worried about which it is, Njagi wants to wait, but Fossey grabs it, and luckily it really was an Easter egg!

Episode 17/28: Skeezle! We can't leave poor Fidget in the slammer! Cried out Njagi! Afraid to ask what the little pfuzzle could possibly have done to land there, Pirate S reached a paw into the glove box and came out with 2 Platinum Paws, 5 Silver Moles and 10 Golden Moles, hoping that would be enough to post bail?
Fossey, being impish, had grabbed the officer's hat, and while making a pretty sharp pantomime of the arrest, also stole the cops keys and let Njagi in to let out Fidget, and save their small cache of cash! Fidget was excited that while in the jail cell, he managed to snag an Easter egg!

Episode 18/28: Floating down the river banks of the Nile, little pfuzzle Fidget tells them of his favorite old movie, with Bogie and Bacall. Fossey takes the helm, and is steering them right into a nest of crocodiles! Watch out, yells Pirate S, you almost missed a Chickadee Glamour Egg! Skeezle grabbed Pirate S by the ankles and scooped it up out of the river in a quick grab! Pirate S barely missed being lunch, but the crew was pretty stoked to find another egg!

Episode 19/28: Seriously, Fossey! We've traveled to New York City and the first thing you do is pretend to be your great-great-great grandfather? laughed Pirate S!
Skeezle, feeling the need for speed, grabbed the opportunity to see the city that never sleeps from above. A fast plane should get them where they need to go!
Fidget, having never been to NYC, did the Blue Line Tour, along with Pirate S and Njagi, and at the top of the statue of Pet'Liberty, snagged a true souvenir, the Flower Power, Too Marble Egg! But the team wondered if the odd sulphur odor was coming from the Flower Power, Too Marble Egg, or if Fidget leaked some gas?

Episode 20/28: It's a national treasure, I am pretty sure you shouldn't be that up close and personal, yelled Njagi from the car, slowly sipping her mojito, which she loves best because it also has the letter J in it!
Pirate S, demonstrating some mad climbing skills, used the GPS coordinates to find the Rainbow Chevron Egg tucked neatly behind the ear of Joy on Mount Petmore!

Episode 21/28: Fossey, still the baby of the group, managed to sneak away during the search and fall asleep under the bakery table. Dreaming of eating all the sugary treasures, he snored rather loudly, and Pirate S, gently nudged him awake. Skeezle, filling his box with yummy sweet treats, told Njagi to grab up that Cherries Jubilee Egg! What a lucky find!

Episode 22/28: I've got a fast car! Try and keep up! yelled Skeezle. Which Njagi found odd, since they were currently parked, and exploring the old Transylvanian country side?
d'Uh, it's reverse psychology, replied Skeezle, while Pirate S beat the bushes, holding out a clove of garlic and an old wooden cross.
Hey, Fidget, did you find anything yet? asked Pirate S
Fossey, fearless (or slightly stupid?), climbed the old castle and spied the Dragonfly Whispers Marble Egg popping out the exhaust pipe. Scratching his head, he wondered how in the world that had happened?

But the winds began to howl, and it sounded a lot like it was calling their names, so the gang loaded up the convertible and revved out of sight!

Episode 23/28: Heading down the old highway, the gang of cruisers decided to take a pit stop at the old Eagle Hotel, in the mountains of California. Skeezle, with his warm fur, wasn't as put off by the snow as much as Fossey, who being furry but from tropical landscapes, couldn't wait to get back in the car and rumble down the road. Njagi, tired of cold hooves, found the Jade Bloom Marble Egg hiding in plain sight, and popped it into the trunk. Pirate S was just happy to get out of there, as urban legend said that pets who check into this hotel, never leave!

Episode 24/28: EW! Cried Njagi, as the little pfuzzle, Fidget, dove head first into the ball pit at the preschool. Do you have any idea how many germs there are lurking in those balls?
No, not really replied Fidget, but look here! And he held up the Burger & Fries Egg they were looking for!

Episode 27/28: In a puff of smoke, Pirate S, Fossey, Njagi and their new 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 Pirate S 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 Pirate S realises that it is time to return to his page, to give another pet the opportunity to experience this wonderful Quest!
