[Pinecone] "One night only."

[Pinecone, singer through phonograph]
♪ I stubbed my toe, I stubbed my toe! ♪

♪ I thought you should know! ♪

[Pinecone] Whoo!

Tonight's the night, Pony.

The Smash Punks reuniting,
one night only, at sundown,

-for their last concert ever.
-[whinnies]

It was so worth sleeping outside
the Barbarian Bowl to get these tickets.

The show is completely sold out.

Now all we have to do
is decide what to wear.

Fear not, Punkcone. I got you covered. Eh?

A Smash Punks sweater vest?

-[whinnies]
-It's perfect.

-[whinnies]
-And I made you these, Pony.

-[blusters]
-Here you go.

-[blusters]
-[chuckles] Thanks both of you.

We'd better get going, Pony.

The opening bands are gonna start soon
and we don't wanna miss a beat.

-Bye Mom. Bye Dad.
-[whinnying]

-Have fun.
-Rock on.

♪ I stubbed my toe, I stubbed my toe ♪

[horse whinnying]

[giggles] It's like the whole town's
going to the concert.

[gasps] That tour-wagon belongs to
the famous traveling theater troupe,

-The Feuding Fernandezes.
-[whinnies]

They must be in town

to perform the latest episode
of our favorite soap opera,

-Corazones Flameantes.
-[whinnies]

-[thuds]
-But what are they doing here so soon?

Their next episode isn't supposed to be
for another month.

-[bell ringing]
-[town crier] Hear ye! Hear ye!

The Feuding Fernandezes are back,
a month early,

to make a special announcement.

They will be performing the final episode
of Corazones Flameantes

-at sundown tonight.
-[crowd gasps]

-Final episode? Ever?
-[farts]

Tonight? Then no more? Ever?

Correct.

And great volume.
Have you ever considered town crying?

We have to see the last episode
or we'll never know how it ends.

-[gasps]
-[whinnies, blusters]

[scoffs] You're right, pal.

We can't miss
the last Smash Punks concert either.

[exclaims] What do we do?

Whatever we pick,
we'll miss something amazing.

What if we choose wrong
and regret it forever and ever?

[whinnies]

Good idea.
Hawthorn will know exactly what to do.

I have no idea what to do.

Y-you can't be in two places
at the same time.

-[gasps] Ooh.
-No, no, no.

We are not trying
that duplication spell again.

It took weeks
to get rid of your extra noses.

Uh, what's your gut telling you?

-Oh, my gut?
-[chewing]

[gut rumbles]

It's a little hungry.

But other than that, I have no idea.

Well,
there is this body talk spell I heard of

that would let you speak with it directly.

-Let's do it.
-But, I really don't know it well.

Let's do it.

Or what the repercussions would--

-Let's do it.
-[sighs]

I guess we can try.

-[sighs]
-Whoo-hoo.

-Voice unheard, squeak and squawk,
-[chuckles]

let me hear your body talk.

Hmm. Hello?

Gut? Hello.

-[gut rumbles]
-[sighs] Thanks for trying, Hawth.

I guess I'll just have to live a life
of constant regret.

Sure, but could you give me one
of those cookies first?

-[both gasp]
-[blusters]

It worked.

It actually worked.

Gut, I need to know what you really want.

Should we see The Feuding Fernandezes
or The Smash Punks?

Um, the second thing, uh, Smash Crunch?

Now gimme those cookies.

This is great.

Seeing the Smash Punks is
what we wanted to do in the first place.

So, decision made.

Thanks, Gut.

And thank you, Hawthorn.

We're off to the Barbarian Bowl!

[crowd cheering]

The opening bands are starting.
I'm so glad we didn't miss them.

[Gut] Corn dogs!

[chuckles]

Uh, why don't we watch the bands first?

Then we can get--

-Corn dogs, corn dogs.
-[groans] Whoa!

[town crier] Hear ye! Hear ye!

The Feuding Fernandezes
have just announced,

they're doing a one time only cast Q and A
before the show.

-[crowd gasps] Whoa!
-A Q and A with the cast?

[whinnies]

You're right, pal.

My gut decision was to see the Smash Punks
and we're sticking to it.

[voice] Ooh, but are you sure?
Really sure?

-[gasps]
-[whinnies]

[voice] Sorry to startle you,
but I had a thought.

I am your brain after all.

I know how many burning questions you have
for the stars of Corazones Flameantes.

Like when Señor Dramatico forgot
who he was in episode 26,

how'd he remember how to play
the panpipes?

Right? It didn't make any sense.

Uh. Mmm. I don't know.

If we go to the Q and A,
we'd wanna stay for the finale

but that would mean missing the concert.

Eh, but you can always listen
to your Smash Punks records.

And if you see the finale,
you'll learn the answer

to your most burning question of all.

[Brain, Pinecone] How does the series end?

Uh, maybe we should go see
the Feuding Fernandezes, Pony.

[Gut rumbles] But what about my corn dogs?

[Brain] There's a lemonade stand
in the town square?

-[Gut gasps] Lemonade, lemonade, lemonade!
-[groans]

Okay, so little change of plans.

But now that we're here,
this feels like the right choice.

[gasps] And look, Pony,
it's the whole cast!

[blusters]

Welcome to the Feuding Fernandezes'
first and last talk-back panel.

Hosted by me, your humble town crier,
who is also an amateur actor.

Well, if you've got a question
for the cast you can sign up here.

Hey, Pinecone. I guess you're running late
for the concert too?

We'd better hurry. The Smash Punks
will be starting pretty soon.

Actually, we're going to watch
the Feuding Fernandezes finale instead.

Wow! [chuckles] Bold choice.

Especially when the Smash Punks
are debuting a new song.

New song?

Yeah, a never to be repeated farewell song
dedicated to their most loyal fans.

But I'm sure you won't regret missing it.

Gotta go, and love the vest.

A new Smash Punks song,
and we'll never get to hear it?

[blusters]

On the other hand,
we will get to see the finale.

But on the other other hand--

and I would know because I am a hand,
whoo!

Going to the concert
would mean more clapping time. I mean--

And more fist pumping time!

[Hands strain, laugh] Ow.

Uh, this spell
is getting a little out of hand.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

So are we going to the concert or what?

[blusters]

[Right Hand] Oh yeah. [laughs]

No way! I want lemonade!
Lemonade! Lemona--

Mmm. I'm good to go.

Wait!
I didn't get to ask the question yet.

And what about the finale?

Wait!

[Hands] Well,
I'm gonna do this dance move.

[Hands babbling]

[sighs] It's okay, pal.

We're gonna have a blast at the concert.

[inhales sharply] Are you?

Because I feel pretty full of doubt, fear,
anxiety, regret--

-[groans]
-[whinnies]

Pinecone, Pony,
are you attending the concert as well?

Uh, yeah.

And if you and Wren are too,

then I must have made
the right decision this time.

Actually,
Gladys is going to the Smash Punks.

I'm on my way to see
the Feuding Fernandezes.

And she is totally gonna miss out.

Ha! Their attempts at making me jealous
are fruitless,

for they are the one
who will be missing out.

-No, you shall.
-No, you shall.

-No, you.
-[Gladys] You shall, a million.

No, you shall, a billion million.

It is nearly sundown.

We had better make haste
or we shall miss our respective shows.

Have fun at the concert,
Gladys and Pinecone.

Or, if you change your mind,
you can join me at the show.

[in slow motion] It's your choice.

[laughs] See ya.

-[gasps]
-Smash Punks!

Go with Gladys!

No! To the show in the town square
where the lemonade is.

You better make a decision fast.

[strains, groans] I'm gonna go to the--
[stammers]

-This way!
-No!

-Hurry up!
-[Gut] This way!

[Left Hand] This way! Smash Punks!

-Stop!
-[whinnies]

-Everyone stop!
-[ripping]

-[thud]
-[grunts]

[groans] My-my special vest.

It's ruined.

[sighs] This whole day was ruined.

I missed the opening bands,
I missed the Q and A.

-And--
-[crows cheering]

[The Smash Punks]
♪ I stubbed my toe, I stubbed my toe ♪

And I'm missing my favorite song.

[sniffles, cries]
Why didn't I just make up my mind?

-[cries]
-[blusters]

Hey, Pinecone are you crying 'cause
you couldn't get Smash Punks tickets too?

Actually I do have tickets.

If I had tickets,
I'd be in there rocking out.

So, why are you out here looking sad?

'Cause she missed out on so much today.
She was too scared to make a decision.

[Brain] Out of fear of missing out.

It's actually quite common,

-it's referred to as FOMO and--
-Mmm. Quiet!

-[Brain] Oh.
-[chuckles] Magic spell.

Turns out my body parts
have a lot of opinions.

Right.

So, um,
what is your heart telling you to do?

Huh. I hadn't checked in
with that body part yet.

Mmm.

[rock music playing]

[The Smash Punks]
♪ I stubbed my toe, I stubbed my toe ♪

I know exactly what to do.

[whinnies]

Here, Oatcake.

-Take these tickets and go rock out.
-[gasps]

Really? Are you sure?

I've never been more sure
in my entire life.

-Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
-[giggles]

-Smash Punks!
-[blusters]

Mmm.

My heart helped me realize

that I shouldn't have spent so much time
worrying about what I was missing.

I should've just been enjoying.

Oatcake's really gonna enjoy that concert.

Just like we're going to enjoy
The Feuding Fernandezes. [chuckles]

[whinnies]

[Brain] Excellent thinking.

[Right, Left Hand] High five! Ow!

[Pinecone] Fountain Of Youths.

[sighing] What a scorcher.

At least we can cool off
at the good old, refreshing…

-[cat meows]
-…icy-cold…

-fountain!
-[whinnies]

It's out of order? What'll we do?

We can… [chuckles] …walk to the lake?

But that would take all day.

Maybe you could…

[stammers] …magic Mr. Fountain-Statue-Guy
into working again?

I wish, but my magic's not advanced enough
for that yet.

[Pinecone]
Who was Mr. Fountain-Statue-Guy anyway?

I'm not sure. He's never come up
in any of my history books.

I bet he was a great warrior.
Look at those triceps.

Or he could've been a wizard.

-[kid] Or maybe he was neither.
-[both gasp]

Oh. [chuckles] Sorry for eavesdropping.

Name's Ruru.

Proud member of the Volunteer's Guild.
We do all kinds of odd jobs around town.

Today, I am fixing the fountain.

Cool!

I'm Pinecone,
and this is Hawthorn and Pony.

Nice to meet you all.

So, why'd you join the Volunteer's Guild?

Well,
because I get to try different things.

And that way I can figure out
what I wanna be when I get older.

[both gasps]

You mean you don't know?

I've known I wanted to be
a warrior since I was a baby.

And I'm following in my Nola's footsteps
to become a great wizard, just like her.

That's nice.

As a member of the Volunteer's Guild,
I've gotten to be a plumber,

a cheesemonger, a florist, a tour guide…

I can't believe he doesn't know
what he wants to be.

-…a gardener, a beekeeper…
-I know. It's such a shame

-because he'd make a great Wiz Kid.
-Lil Rumbler.

-[both gasp]
-But he's got wrench-wielding muscles,

like a warrior.

-But he also has a keen desire to learn…
-[sighs]

…like a wizard.

[groaning]

Oh, this thing isn't budging.

I was hoping it would lead
to the source of the water.

[Pinecone] Hmm.

I've never noticed there was
a picture of a cat on that before.

Really?

The same picture's on Kettlingur's collar.

[both] Hmm.

-[cat meows]
-Kettlingur?

The old cat who sleeps
at the foot of the fountain.

-[both] Oh.
-[kisses]

[meows, purrs]

-See?
-[gasps]

[Ruru] Cat face on one side,
and strange markings on the other.

Hey, those aren't just any markings.

That's a map, and a map means…

[both] A quest!

-A quest! Whoo-hoo!
-Oh, yeah! Yeah!

Well, have fun.

Wait.

You don't wanna see where this map leads?

Yeah, I'm kinda focused
on fixing the fountain right now.

Ruru, buddy,

quests like this
don't just come along everyday.

And if you like trying new things,
you might like trying this.

I guess I can take a break
from the fountain.

As long as I'm back by nightfall.
I get to light the lamps.

No problemo.

For when a quest comes your way…

-Wiz Kids never go astray!
-…Lil Rumblers save the day.

-I didn't really catch either of those.
-[Pony blusters]

-Should we just get going?
-[Pony whinnies]

Hey, Hawthy.

I bet by the end of the day,

our new pal will have decided
what he wants to be when he grows up.

A warrior like me. Hi-yah!

Yeah, right.

After he sees me in action,

he'll wanna be a great wizard,

[echoes] wizard, wizard.

Oh, we'll see about that.

We sure will.

And once a week,
Gladys makes us warrior pizza.

It attacks your taste buds
with epic flavor!

Ha! That's nothing.

Whenever we master a new spell,
Greymoon celebrates by levitating us.

That sounds…
[stammers] …like a good thing?

-Do we know where we're going?
-Of course.

Thanks to the map I copied
from Kettlingur's collar using magic.

-[groans]
-We clearly need to go straight?

Or left? [chuckles]

Not to worry.

Gladys taught us this warrior trick
for when you lose your way. [grunts]

What are you listening for?

-Uh--
-[blusters]

Uh, I'm not sure.

Uh, I think we might be lost.

That's okay.
I have a map from when I was a tour guide.

-Look! The same landmark is on both.
-Ooh.

-An ancient archway.
-[gasps]

And there it is in real life.

Which means, to get to the X,
we just have to make a right.

Whoa! You'd make a great Lil--

Wiz Kid!

I made a pretty good tour guide, too.

-So, should we keep going?
-[blusters]

[Hawthorne] According to the map…

-[cats yowling]
-…we're supposed to continue--

Huh, straight?

[sighs] Locked.

Good thing Lil Rumblers learn
how to get past any obstacle

that stands in our way.

[shouts, grunts]

[groans, grunts]

[whinnies]

Ha! Not to worry.

Wiz Kids know a spell
for occasions just like this.

Lock, unlock. Door, be free.
Make this gate open sesame!

[lock unlocks]

Huh?

[groaning] Come on, door!

But my spell unlocked it.

Yeah, but it's still rusted shut.

Let me try.

Just a little something I picked up
from my day as a locksmith.

[Pony whinnies]

Oh.

Yeah… [chuckles] …that's cool too.

Well, we're about to embark
on the final leg of our quest.

And that's when Lil Rumblers really shine.

-[whinnies]
-Wiz Kids, too.

You're about to see so much cool magic.

-I have to get back to work.
-[Pinecone] And warrior moves.

And this is getting a little spooky.

Don't worry. We're almost at the X.

I bet we'll find some
ancient magical secrets there.

Or a worthy opponent to defeat.

Or an old statue of a cat?

[both] Huh?

This thing must do something.

-[grunts]
-[clangs]

[groans]

Though I could--

Huh.

So, this quest might have been a bust.

But if you join the Lil Rumblers
and become a warrior,

there'll be lots of other rugged quests.

Or become a Wiz Kid!

-Same quests, but add wands, teatime…
-[footsteps approaching]

-…and magic.
-[whinnies]

-[cats yowling]
-Uh, is that a typical part of a quest?

-[yowling continues]
-[all scream]

-Uh--
-[whimpers]

-[cats meowing]
-Nice little kitty.

Uh…

[all screaming]

[all groaning]

[laughs] That was awesome.

How'd you know to pull that cat's arm?

-It was, uh, a lever.
-[nickers]

I fixed one when I spent the day
as a mechanic.

Uh, where are we? How do we get out?

I'm not sure,

but a Wiz Kid can always rely
on their mind and--

And a Lil Rumbler can use their muscle.

Enough already about the Lil Rumblers
and the Wiz Kids!

I told you,
I don't know what I wanna be yet,

and I'm not in a rush to figure it out.

That's why I like trying
lots of different things.

But now I'll be late for my job,

and get in trouble with
the Volunteer's Guild, and-- [sighs]

I'm sorry, Ruru.

Being a wizard is all I've ever thought
about being.

But that's my choice, not yours.

I'm sorry too.

It's cool you're taking the time
to figure out what you wanna do.

All that great stuff you've learned is
what got us this far in the first place.

Any chance you could help us find a way
out of here?

I'm always willing to try.

Hey, I think that might be a lantern.

I just need something to light it with.

I can help with that.

[Pinecone] Yeah!

It's a Catopia.

[cats meowing]

Is that Kettlingur?

[meows]

[Hawthorne]
I think it's telling us a story.

"In the early days of Sturdystone,

the villagers had to walk for miles
to gather water from the lake.

But one day,

Mykah, a friendly cat groomer,
followed us here to our home.

He discovered the water spring
and shared it with the people,

who were so grateful,

they erected a fountain
with a statue in his honor.

But Mykah didn't care about glory.
He was just a guy who liked cats."

-So Mr. Fountain-Statue--
-[blusters]

Uh, Mykah wasn't a warrior or a wizard.

[Hawthorne] He was a cat groomer.

-[whinnies]
-[giggling]

Cool! I've gotta give cat grooming
a try sometime.

If they built the fountain
after Mykah found the spring, that means--

This connects to the fountain,
which must be right above us.

[banging]

That's a clog. Makes sense.

There's a lot of cat fur down here.

Is that why the cats were following us
on our quest?

To make sure we got here
to unclog the pipe?

[meows, purrs]

On it.

[grunts] Could I get a hand?

-[all groaning, grunting]
-[blustering]

[grunts]

[villagers cheering]

-[laughs] Whoo-hoo!
-We unclogged it!

Come on, Pony. It's time to go.

-[whinnies]
-[purring]

Ah.

There's nothing better than icy cold,
refreshing fountain water.

-[laughs]
-[whinnies]

I hope you're not too disappointed
I won't be joining your clubs.

Are you kidding?
We want to join the Volunteer's Guild.

Sure.

If you want, you could join me right now
in lighting the lamps.

Yeah! The quest of the lamplighters!

Or-- [chuckles]

Uh, I mean,
the volunteer gig of the lamplighters.
