Yeah!

-Hi, Twigs.

-Tom, you're just in time.

Today's the day the fruits on the wonderful wish-fruit plant

will ripen!

Oh, yes! And there's a race.

Whoever picks the first one,

gets to wish what all of its fruit will taste like.

Wow! So you could wish they would all tastes like spin cakes with

-chuckleberry sauce?

-Or trillicakes.

-Or treefles.

Or trillicakes.

Or chuckleberries with thunder popcorn and frostyberry icing.

Or trillicakes.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's find this fruit.

Not so fast, young Tom.

Flying is not allowed.

-Oh.

-Aw...

Also, you must wait until the fruit ripens.

A special horn will sound,

and then everyone races to pick the first one.

Oh, why can't we fly?

Because not everyone can fly.

So you'll need a vehicle - one that can go really fast.

Like my cart.

I've tightened the turbo wimple and the zoomigater is ready to work.

Well, zoom.

Tom, we could drive the turbo-rantula!

That's superfast!

We're bound to get to the plant first.

Great idea!

May we borrow it, Rickety?

Please?

Well... I don't know.

It needs a bit of work...

We can fix it up, Rickety.

We'll look after it.

Please?

Oh, very well.

So long as it comes back in one piece.

-Ha-ha!

-Wowzers!

Ooh, I forgot to mention - getting to the plant first is one thing,

getting the fruit first is another.

This plant is very tricky and very sticky.

This race sounds like we'll need Red Magic.

So we need to do the moves that turn our Red Magic powers on.

Come on - join in!

Time for Tree Fu!

# We need to turn the magic on

# We need to save the day Come on

# Just follow me and you will see

# The magic comes from you and me

# To make Tree Fu spells do what you see

# Slide to the side

# And jump right back

# Hold your hands up high

# Spin around Reach up for the sky

# Touch your nose

# Now make a pose

# Clap your hands

# Touch your knees And run with me

# When you move you make the magic

# Do what I do to make the magic

# Turn that, turn that, turn that, turn that Tree Fu magic on. #

Look, the crystal in my vest is glowing.

Moving turned our magic on.

Thanks for your help.

OK, Twigs, to the turbo-rantula!

Interesting!

Very interesting!

-Why is it interesting, Stink?

-Because, Puffy,

if we get to that plant first we can make all the fruit taste like

something WE like!

HE LAUGHS

And all those Treelings will hate it!

SHE LAUGHS

There, Teabiscuit, that ought to do it.

I'll be the fastest Treeling in the West.

I can taste that fruit now - sparkleberry grits!

-TEABISCUIT GRUNTS

-Oh, yes.

Just need to fuel up the old engine.

You sure do love your...

gillymoss with swamp gravy.

New sap cell, check.

And...

that's it. Yes, that fruit is definitely mine.

And it's going to be bubble-root flavour.

Mmm!

Right. So, we'll adjust the engine for extra speed,

move the spoiler for more down force...

And don't forget, we'll need to paint on go-faster stripes.

Stripes? Oh, I don't know about that.

Anyway, you still need to fix its overheating problem.

When it goes too fast, it gets too hot.

And it'll conk out.

It's your thing, Rickety. Now, what colour stripes? Blue?

Oh! Red!

What about green?

Now, that should make her run a bit faster.

-What you got there?

-Just a few extras for the sidecar.

We're going to get to that plant before those Treelings.

Then all that fruit will be ours! Just the way we like it.

Oh...and just the way everyone else doesn't.

THEY LAUGH

Yes, but what shade of purple would be fastest?

Reddy purple? Bluey purple?

Oh, hi, Muru. Greeny purple?

Aargh! Muru!

Weren't you two supposed to meet me for today's Red Magic lesson?

-We're sorry.

-We got carried away.

By thoughts of the wonderful wish-fruit?

We want to be the first to reach it.

Reaching the plant is one thing,

getting the fruit is quite another.

We want to be fastest at that too.

Can you teach us how to be even faster? Can you?

Can you?

Races aren't always won by the fastest.

-BOTH:

-Aren't they?

There is more to Red Magic than speed.

You have to use your mind as well as your body.

Let me show you.

HORN FANFARE

The fruit is ripe!

Time to go!

But you haven't finished your lesson.

-You haven't learned which animal can beat the plant.

-BOTH:

-Oh...

Giddy-up, boy!

Off we go!

Woo-hoo!

Hurry up!

Just getting my packed lunch.

But please can we go?

We can finish the lesson another time.

All right.

In fact, I think you can join the race and finish the lesson.

-Yes!

-Yay!

Oh!

Why are you stopping?

Pesky Treeling!

You distract him.

I've got a plan!

Oh, help!

Please help!

Oh, what is it?

I've lost my favourite pink bow!

I've had it since I was a tiny Musha.

Please help me look for it.

OK. Though I am on my way to get to the wonderful wish-fruit.

Oh...!

-That's what you think!

-HE GIGGLES

-Huh? What?

-No, nothing.

Oh, please keep looking.

Oh, silly me.

I was wearing it all along.

Bye!

Eh?

THEY LAUGH

Huh?

Oh!

THEY LAUGH

Oh! More pesky Treelings.

Huh?

They're all way ahead of us.

Then we need to go faster!

Whoa!

Shortcut!

Look out!

Oh, no!

Tom...

Erm...

-Oh, no!

-You can't move, or the car will fall into the chasm!

And we told Rickety we'd bring it back in one piece!

We have to stop the car falling.

And we need to use Big World Red Magic, so I need your help.

We're going to use the Elephant Power spell.

With the strength of an elephant, I can pull the car back to safety.

Are you ready?

Tree Fu, go!

Right. Copy me.

Into your spell pose.

Put your arms out.

Now, palms up.

Hands to your head.

And wave your elbows like an elephant's ears.

Swing your arm across your body like an elephant's trunk.

Now swing your other arm across your body.

Stomp your feet.

Great!

Same moves again.

Arms out.

Palms up.

Hands to your head.

Wave your elbows.

Swing your arm across your body.

Swing your other arm across your body.

Stomp your feet.

Now clap,

and say Elephant Power to send the magic to me.

Elephant Power!

Wow! I can feel the power of the elephant!

Here we go!

It worked! Thanks for your help.

Come on. We've got even more time to make up, now.

Let's go, go, go!

-BOTH:

-Whoa!

Ooh! Slow down!

Come on, Teabiscuit.

I know these fields like the backs of my hands.

Luckily, I also have hands to help me.

Harvesting hands!

Do you think we should slow down?

Or try a different route?

Aargh!

We need to keep going.

Give me directions from up there.

Up where?

-Whoa!

-Up there.

Erm...this way.

No, that way.

Oh, we can't go any faster.

Then we'll have to go sneakier.

-Hey!

-Oh, no!

Uh-oh.

Maybe we should throw out some extra weight.

Oh! Like you!

Huh!

Well, if you want to throw out extra weight...

Not my lunch!

Oh, it was my favourite -

gillymoss with swamp gravy.

Come on. Giddy-up.

Oh, no. Not gillymoss with swamp gravy!

We'll be here all day.

We're right behind them!

Time for some more Musha mischief.

Look out!

Oh, we'll never overtake them now.

Of course!

-OVERtake!

-Eh?

Ha-ha-ha!

No sign of them.

Yup. Things are looking up for us.

Ha-ha!

Talking of looking up, guys...

Go faster, Funglebungle!

Wahey! We're in the lead!

We're going to get to the wish-fruit first!

And eat all that trillicake flavoured fruit!

Come on! Faster!

I can't wait!

Twigs, didn't Rickety say something about not going too fast

-or it would overheat?

-No.

Yes. I don't know. He says a lot of things.

ENGINE BANGS

Oh. I remember.

And yes, he did.

Now we'll never get to the plant first.

Ha!

Looking a bit down now, guys.

Now try.

No trillicake flavoured fruit.

Now try.

Not one.

Now try.

No fruit for poor old Twigs.

Oh, you did it!

Come on!

There it is!

I'm going to wish it all tastes like purple leaf fungus

topped with yellow bark mould.

No!

I want purple bark mould

topped with yellow leaf fungus.

Oh, look over there.

-HE LAUGHS

-Hey! That's cheating!

Ha-ha! Too slow!

Aargh!

SHE LAUGHS

Now who's too slow?

That fruit is all mine...

Ooh...!

HE LAUGHS

What are you laughing for?

You're stuck too.

Oh, yeah.

Everyone else got here before us!

Look! Are you all OK?

We're fine.

Just hanging about.

We weren't fast enough to get to the fruit before the plant caught us.

Maybe if you can pick one it might release us.

Yeah, they were all too slow!

Watch and learn.

Speedy cheetah, go!

It's fruit time!

Whoa...!

Or not.

Don't worry. I'll get you all down.

It doesn't matter how fast you are, the plant can sense you moving.

'There is more to Red Magic than speed.

'You have to use your mind as well as your body.'

Hmm...

Nothing will be fast enough to pick that fruit and free everybody.

That's it!

A chameleon will be able to sneak up to the fruit without being noticed!

We'll need to use Big World Red Magic, so I need your help.

It's time to do the Chameleon Camouflage spell.

Are you ready?

Tree Fu, go!

Right. Copy me.

Into your spell pose.

Turn your head to one side and back.

Turn your head to the other side and back.

Slowly make a circle with your head.

Step to the side

and push your hand across your body.

Step to the other side

and push your hand across your body.

Put your hands together.

Push your hands out to the side.

Great. Same moves again.

Turn your head to one side.

Turn to the other side.

Slowly make a circle with your head.

Step to the side

and push your hand across your body.

Step to the other side

and push your hand across your body.

Hands together.

Hands out to the side.

Now clap,

and say Chameleon Camouflage to send the magic to me.

Chameleon Camouflage!

Wow! I can feel the power of the chameleon!

Here we go!

Huh?

(Could you maybe hurry up a bit?)

(No. That's the whole point.)

(Oh, got you.)

(Take all the time you need.)

No!

Yes!

-Yeah!

-Ha-ha!

-Woo-hoo!

All right!

That was a sticky situation.

You can say that again.

Wahey!

Oh! That should have been me!

You mean me.

You did it!

You picked the fruit!

And beat the plant.

Without being...

Sorry. I don't need this any more.

Yes, you were first to the fruit without being fast at all.

And now you get to wish what flavour all the fruit should be.

Oh!

I wish that each fruit picked is the flavour that everyone wishes for.

Ha-ha!

I wish for trillicake.

I wish for treefle flavour.

I wish

for sparkleberry grit flavour.

And also

-gillymoss with swamp gravy.

-TEABISCUIT GRUNTS HAPPILY

And I wish for chuckleberries with thunder popcorn

and frostyberry icing.

Mmm!

Ha-ha!

Oh, too late.

Actually, you're just in time.

It's time for me to head home now.

Bye, everyone.

-Goodbye!

-Bye, good buddy!

-See you!

-Bye!

Thanks for helping me in Treetopolis.

See you soon for another adventure.

Bye for now.
