[Soft music plays]

[Buzzing]

A waterfall drops water into a lake. Lava flows down a volcano in the distance.

[Panting]

Baby Pea-Rexes Minty, Split and Wasabi run up the lake’s beach to Ginger, asleep nearby.

[Ginger snoring softly]

The Pea-Rexes jump on Ginger. Minty tugs on Ginger. Wasabi bounces on Ginger. Split pulls on Ginger’s tongue.

[Pea-Rexes grunting]

Ginger wakes up and knocks the Pea-Rexes of her.

She says, OKAY, OKAY!
I'M AWAKE!

Ginger stretches.

[Ginger yawning]

[Loud rumbling]

Ginger’s eyes widen.

She says, HUH?

[Pea-Rexes confused chattering]

[Loud rumbling continues]

[Ginger yawning]

Ginger looks at the volcano in the distance. Smoke billows from the top.

The narrator says, THE VOLCANO IS
ACTIVE, THE POSSIBILITY OF AN
ERUPTION IS A CONSTANT THREAT.

The Pea-Rexes stand on Ginger’s head. The ground shakes.

Ginger says, IT'S GONNA BLOW!
ASSUME SAFETY POSITION!

She dives to the ground. The Pea-Rexes tumble off her.

[Ginger grunting]

[Pea-Rexes yelping]

Ginger opens her mouth wide and the Pea-Rexes run inside. Ginger closes her mouth and covers her eyes.

[Dramatic music plays]

She says, IF WE CAN'T SEE, IT'S NOT A
PROBLEM.

[Vegesaurs screeching]

Various vegesaurs run from the volcano as the ground shakes.

[Loud rumbling]

Something that looks like a rock blasts out of the volcano. It falls toward the lake at a high speed. Ginger uncovers her eyes.

[Ginger gasping]

Ginger opens her mouth and the Pes-Rexes run out.

Ginger yells, INCOMING!

[Pea-Rexes gasping]

Wasabi says, WOW!

[Others yelling]

Ginger runs away with Minty and Split. Wasabi looks amazed as he looks up at the sky.

Wasabi says, WOAH!

[Minty gasping]

Minty looks back at Wasabi on the beach. Minty runs and knocks Wasabi out of the way of the falling item.

[Grunting]

Sparks fly as the falling item hits the beach. It leaves a hole in the sand.

[Crashing]

Ginger and the Pea-Rexes look in the hole as the sand settles.

Ginger says, WHOA!

The Pea-Rexes hop in the hole.

Ginger says, IT'S A LAVA NUT!

The narrator says, HARD ON THE OUTSIDE AND
PACKED FULL OF DELICIOUS
VOLCANIC GOODNESS.

Steam billows from the lava nut. Minty stands on the nut.

[Sizzling]

Ginger warns, CAREFUL, IT'S HOT!

Minty falls off the lava nut. Split touches the nut, then jumps back.

[Sizzling]

Split and Minty blow on the lava nut. Wasabi takes a big breath. He blows on the nut. He blows over Minty and Split, who look annoyed.

[Minty and Split chattering]

Wasabi chomps down on the lava nut.

Ginger says, WASABI, YOU'LL NEVER CRACK IT
OPEN.
THOSE NUTS ARE LIKE, THE HARDEST
THING IN THE WORLD!

[Wasabi groaning]

Split nibbles on the other end of the lava nut.

[Ginger giggling]

Wasabi bites another part of the nut.

[Cracking]

Ginger says, NO WAY, YOU DID IT!

[Wasabi groaning]

[Wasabi crying]

Wasabi’s left tooth wiggles.

Ginger says, OH NO, WAS THAT YOUR TOOTH?!

The narrator says, WOBBLY BABY TEETH CAN BE
PAINFUL.

Minty wiggles Wasabi’s tooth.

The narrator says, REMOVING THEM IS SOMETIMES THE
ONLY OPTION.

Ginger says, HOW ARE WE GONNA GET IT OUT?
HMM.

She looks around her.

She gasps, AH-HAH!

In the forest behind the beach, vines hang from a tree. The Pea-Rex siblings stand on a tree branch with a vine wrapped around it. Minty tightens a vine tied around Wasabi’s wobbly left tooth.

[Wasabi grunting]

Ginger explains, WHEN YOU JUMP, THE VINE WILL
PULL YOUR TOOTH OUT.
IT WILL BE FUN!

[Wasabi chattering confidently]

[Ginger giggling]

Ginger counts, ONE, TWO...

Wasabi leaps off the tree branch. The long vine follows him down.

Wasabi cheers, THREE!

Wasabi hits the ground. The vine drops to the ground around him

[Wasabi grunting]

Ginger says, OOPS, TOO LONG.

Wasabi stands on a higher tree branch with a vine. Minty and Split stand on Ginger.

The narrator says, THESE VINES ARE
FROM A STRETCHALOTIUM
BUNGACODIUM.
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A BUNGEE
TREE.

Wasabi checks the vine tied to his wobbly left tooth.

Ginger says, ON THE COUNT OF –

Wasabi leaps off the branch.

[Wasabi cheering]

The narrator says, AND THEY'RE INCREDIBLY
STRETCHY.

Wasabi reaches the end of the vine. It pulls him back up toward the branch.

[Wasabi yelping]

Ginger, Minty and Split look worried. Wasabi lands back on the branch.

[Wasabi grunting]

Wasabi’s eyes spin.

[Wasabi moaning]

Wasabi shakes his head. He looks down at his siblings.

[Wasabi chattering]

Minty looks at Split.

[Minty, Split and Wasabi giggling]

Elsewhere in the forest, Wasabi stands on a rock with a vine tied to his wobbly left tooth. Split and Minty stand on either side of him.

[Pea-Rexes chattering]

Ginger says, THIS ONE SHOULD WORK.

She holds the other end of the vine in her mouth.

She continues, IT'S NOT STRETCHY.
I'M GOING TO YANK THE VINE
REALLY HARD, AND THAT WILL PULL
YOUR TOOTH OUT.
GOT IT?

Wasabi says, UH-HUH.

He nods.

Ginger says, SAY "AH."

Wasabi says, AHHH!

Wasabi is yanked off the rock.

[Wasabi wailing]

Wasabi flies over the tree tops with the vine.

Ginger says, OKAY, CLEARLY WE NEED TO
ANCHOR WASABI DOWN.

Elsewhere in the forest, Split ties a vine to Wasabi’s right tooth.

[Pea-Rexes chattering]

Ginger says, RELAX, THIS WON'T HURT A BIT.

She bites the other end of the vine. Wasabi looks nervous.

[Nervous chattering]

Split and Minty hold Wasabi. Ginger pulls hard the vine.

[Ginger grunting]

Ginger pulls Wasabi’s tooth out with the vine.

Wasabi says, OW!

The tooth shines as it flies through the air.

The narrator says, BRAVO!
GINGER CAN NOW ADD "PROUD
DENTIST" TO HER LONG LIST OF
SKILLS.

Ginger smiles. The tooth lands at her feet.

[Ginger gasping]

Ginger says, WE DID IT!

[Wasabi groaning]

Wasabi holds the side of his mouth with the missing tooth. Minty wiggles the right, wobbly tooth.

[Pea-Rexes chattering]

Ginger says, OH NO, WE PULLED THE WRONG TOOTH
OUT!

Split brings the pulled tooth back to Wasabi. Split puts the tooth back in place.

[Split chattering]

The tooth falls out of Wasabi’s mouth.

[Split sighing]

Wasabi looks at his pulled tooth.

[Wasabi whimpering]

[Wasabi wailing]

Birds fly out of the trees.

[Wasabi crying]

Wasabi runs around as he cries. He kicks the ground and stumbles over a vine. He falls on his face. He kicks and hits the ground angrily. Wasabi sits up and his wobbly left tooth falls out.

[Wasabi crying]

[Ginger gasping]

Ginger says, YOUR WOBBLY TOOTH!
IT'S OUT!

Wasabi says, HUH?

Minty grabs the fallen wobbly tooth.

[Wasabi and Minty chattering]

Wasabi looks relieved. He points to his now toothless mouth as Slit joins the pair.

[Pea-Rexes giggling]

The narrator says, BABY PEA-REXES HAVE HIGH
LEVELS OF CALCIUM, MAKING TOOTH
REGROWTH VERY FAST.

Wasabi grows two new teeth.

Ginger says, WHOA!

Elsewhere in the forest, in the distance, smoke billows from the volcano as lava flows down the side.

Ginger says, WE'VE LEARNED A BIG LESSON
TODAY.

On the beach, the Pea-Rexes sit in front of the lava nut.

Ginger says, A LAVA NUT IS SUPER HARD.
YOU SHOULD NEVER BITE DOWN ON
ONE.

[Rumbling]

The ground shakes as a lava nut bursts out of the volcano.

[Pea-Rexes chattering]

Ginger runs away from the lava nut with the Pea-Rexes on her head.

She says, NOTHING CAN CRACK A LAVA NUT.

[Thudding]

Dust settles around the lava nut and reveals both lava nuts split open. Inside each lava nut is a juicy red centre.

Ginger cheers, EXCEPT FOR ANOTHER LAVA NUT!

The Pea-Rexes hop off Ginger and jump into the gooey lava nut centre.

Ginger says, HEY, SAVE SOME FOR ME!
