(Music playing)

Ginger, the orange dinosaur with a tail of carrot greens, hops onto a rock. She looks at a piece of fruit hanging from a tree.

Ginger says, WHOA!

(Gasping)

Ginger says, OH, NO. IT'S NOT RIPE YET. BUT I HAVEN'T HAD A YUMMY DROP IN SO LONG, AND IT'S NEARLY READY, RIGHT?

The three baby Pea-rexes are on the ground below her. They shake their heads.

(Chittering)

Ginger says, I'M PRETTY SURE JUST ONE WON'T HURT.

Ginger stretches out to try and reach the dangling fruit with her mouth.

The narrator says, EATING YUMMY DROPS BEFORE THEY RIPEN CAN CAUSE TUMMY TROUBLES FOR TRICARROTOPS.

Ginger jumps and grabs the fruit with her mouth. She falls.

Ginger says, WHOA. MMM. WHOA!

The Pea-rexes rush over. Ginger lies on her back and chews.

Ginger says, MMM, SO YUMMY.

She sits up.

(Stomach gurgling)

(Pea-rexes chittering)

Ginger says, OH, NO.

(Stomach gurgling)

The Pea-rexes back away.

(Pea-rexes chittering)

The narrator says, EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF UNRIPE YUMMY DROPS CAN MAKE A VEGESAUR QUITE UNWELL.

(Ginger groaning)

Ginger asks, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME NOT TO EAT IT?

(Stomach gurgling)

(Ginger passing gas)

(Pea-rexes laughing)

Ginger says, IT'S NOT FUNNY. MY TUMMY IS REALLY SAD.

(Groaning)

Ginger says, WHAT I REALLY NEED IS PEPPERMINT.

(Chittering)

Ginger says, IT FIXES SORE TUMMIES. PROBLEM IS, PEPPERMINT ONLY GROWS IN ONE PLACE.

The narrator says, PEPPERMINT THRIVES IN A HUMID, ELEVATED, SUNNY POSITION. WHICH, IN VEGESAUR VALLEY, IS RIGHT ON TOP OF THE BANANARAPTORS' LAIR.

The plant grows on top of a low cave. Ginger slumps on a rock.

(Ginger grunting, sighing)

Ginger says, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M LETTING YOU DO THIS.

(Chittering)

The Pea-rexes hop down and head towards the cave.

Ginger says softly, REMEMBER, STAY TOGETHER AND STICK TO THE PLAN!

(Stomach gurgling)

She closes her eyes.

(Groaning)

The Pea-rexes hide under walnut shells. They walk under them as they move closer to the cave.

(Pea-rexes chittering)

They hop over a rock.

(Chittering)

Ginger watches.

(Groaning)

Wasabi uses their legs to launch Split over to another rock. Wasabi kicks Minty over.

(Music playing)

Wasabi backs up and runs and jumps, hopping from one rock to the next. The Pea-rexes land on a sandy shore and hide under their walnut shells.

(Grunting)

Two yellow Bananaraptors walk out of the cave. They walk on their hind-legs and have long banana-shaped bodies.

The narrator says, BANANARAPTORS ARE TERRITORIAL BY NATURE. IF THE PEA-REXES ARE DISCOVERED, THEY'LL BE CAPTURED AND, NO DOUBT, DEVOURED.

The Bananaraptors watch as the shells move over the sand.

A Bananaraptor says, HUH?

(Grunting)

Minty peeks out from under the shell.

(Whimpering)

The Pea-rexes scurry away under the shells. The Bananaraptors walk after them.

Ginger says, OH, NO.

The Bananaraptors grab two shells. Wasabi and Split run out from under them. They hop over the rocks and run back to Ginger.

(Shouting, panting)

Ginger says, THAT WAS WAY TOO CLOSE. AND WHERE'S MINTY?

The Bananaraptors turn to the third shell.

(Grunting and muttering)

Ginger whispers, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON!

A Bananaraptor lifts the shell.

(Laughing)

The shell is empty.

The Bananaraptor says, HUH?

Ginger relaxes.

(Sighing, stomach gurgling)

Ginger says, MINTY, WHERE ARE YOU?

Minty stands off to the side of the cave and stares up at the peppermint plant.

Minty says, AH.

The narrator says, THIS PEA-REX IS NOW ON A SOLO MISSION TO FETCH THE PEPPERMINT.

Minty races up the side of a rock.

(Panting)

Minty swings on a vine towards the plant.

(Giggling)

The Bananaraptors turn. One reaches up and grabs Minty in mid-air.

(Grunting)

Ginger gasps, MINTY, NO.

(Bananaraptors laughing)

The Bananaraptor puts Minty on the ground under a cage made of a tree root.

(Chattering)

Minty cries, AH!

The narrator says, ONE LONE PEA-REX IS BARELY A SNACK. THEY'LL KEEP HUNTING UNTIL THEY HAVE ENOUGH FOR A WHOLE MEAL.

Ginger says, WE'RE GOING IN.

(Wasabi and Split chittering)

(Musical charge sounding)

Ginger steps forward, looking determined.

(Stomach gurgling)

Ginger moves slowly.

(Ginger moaning)

Ginger says, OW.

(Music playing)

The Bananaraptors look around. Wasabi runs up to one.

(Wasabi chittering)

Wasabi runs off.

The narrator says, THE TEMPTATION OF MORE PEA-REXES LURES THE BANANARAPTORS AWAY FROM THEIR CATCH.

Split waves from another rock.

(Muttering)

The two Bananaraptors split up and run in different directions, chasing the Pea-rexes. Minty watches.

(Minty giggling)

Wasabi sticks out his tongue.

(Blowing raspberry)

The Bananaraptor runs over the sand after Wasabi.

(Bananaraptor panting)

(Wasabi panting and laughing)

The Bananaraptor dives forward. Wasabi slips out of its grasp and keeps running.

(Laughing)

(Bananaraptor growling)

Ginger narrows her eyes as she watches.

Ginger says, HMM.

(Stomach gurgling)

Ginger whispers, MINTY, HERE I AM, READY OR NOT.

Ginger runs over the rocks. She jumps and lands in water.

Ginger cries, WHOA!

(Splashing)

She pulls herself back onto the rock.

(Grunting, groaning)

Ginger runs toward Minty.

(Panting)

The cage splinters and Minty flies through the air, landing on the peppermint plant.

Minty cries, WHEE!

The Bananaraptors crash into each other as they chase the Pea-rexes. They fall to the ground.

(Bananaraptors yelping)

Wasabi and Split jump on Ginger and she runs off.

Ginger turns. Minty waves a piece of peppermint.

Minty cries, YAY!

(Music playing)

The Bananaraptors stand up and shake their heads. Minty grabs a vine and swings away.

(Gasping)

The Bananaraptors try to chase Minty, but they trip over each other and fall.

(Grunting)

Ginger calls, QUICK, LET'S GO!

Minty swings down and lands on Ginger’s head.

(Cheering)

Ginger chews and smiles.

Ginger says, MMM. I'M FEELING SO MUCH BETTER NOW.

(Burping)

Ginger says, THANKS SO MUCH—

(Burping)

Ginger continues, --FOR YOUR HELP.

The narrator says, IT SOUNDS LIKE PEPPERMINT HAS DONE ITS JOB.

(Pea-rexes laughing)

Ginger says, PARDON ME.

The Pea-rexes fall down laughing.
