[Pinecone] "This
calls for courage."

[Arlo] So, you ready for your
firstsolo mission into the woods?

Yep.

You sure?-Yep.

You really sure?

Dad.

Sorry.

It's just that a warrior'sfirst
mission alone is a big deal.

But we're just gatheringsome
wild veggies for our picnic.

I know. And I know
you're ready for it,

which is why I am bequeathing unto you
which is why I am bequeathing unto you

an object no independent
warriorshould ever be without.

The Help-Me Horn. [Echoes]

[gasps] Huh.

Why would I need that?
This is a solo mission.

Right, Pony?[blusters]

Sure, but you may need
helpcarrying things back,

or you might get lost.

Or you could even run
into a "where-wolf."

They have no sense
of direction, huh?

[bird caws]

No matter the reason, blow the
horn, and I'll come find you.

Okay. Does this
mean we can go now?

Yep. Good luck.

And wish me luck too. Uh, I
have to collect c*ck eggs

for our salad in the
middleof nesting season, so…

We're not gonna need
this old horn, Pony,

'cause I packed some warrior
toolsfor any eventuality.

Like this peashooter,
in case we get attacked.

[metal clanks]

And this spork, in case we comeacross
a thick stew that needs eating.

[blusters] [blusters]

Anything can happen
in the forest.

I even packed some bread crumbs,

so we can leave a trail behind
us to find our way back.

[whinnies]

That's right.

We're a couple of independent
warriorswhose only direction is adventure!

[whinnies, blusters]

Right. The veggies are that way.

Adventure![Pony whinnies]

[blusters]

[chuckles]

[sighs] All right.

[grunts, giggles]

Okay, bud. [Strains]

Adventure![whinnies]

Ah, Pony. [Giggles]

[creature growls]

[sighs] We haven't founda
single wild veggie, Pony.

There's just a bunchof
empty holes around here.

Maybe we should follow the crumbs back.
Maybe we should follow the crumbs back.

[Pinecone] Oh.[Pony blusters]

Ah, I get it.

Who wouldn't lovea little
sweet crumb action?

[stomach growls]

I could really use a snack too.

Sorry, pal,

but I don't think there's
anything elseto eat in here.

[whinnies]

The horn? We don't
need help, Pony.

I can do this on my own.

We've just gotta go that way.

[blusters]

Or wait. Was it that way?

[gasps] A carrot!

Look, Pony. We finally
found a veggie.

[straining, grunts]

[screams]-[whinnies]

Huh.

Huh.

At least we found a carrot!

How are you, Pony?
Does anything hurt?

[whinnies]-[gasps]

Okay. So we're in a hole.

No big deal. [Chuckles]
No big deal. [Chuckles]

[creature clears
throat]-[screams]

[groans]

Troll!

[groans]

Get behind me, Pony.

[chuckles]

Not now, Pony. I've got this.

Step back, troll.

I must warn you I have a...

Hold up. That's
not my peashooter.

Hey! [Groans] Listen, troll...

Ooh, the name's Lyken.

Thank you so much
for breaking in.

[yells]

[laughs]I haven't caught
any trespassers before.

Now, what am I gonna
do with you?[straining]

[gasps] Uh, let us go?

My super-tough warrior
party is up top.

And if we don't show up,
they'll come looking for us.

So you're sayingl should
expect more of you to join?

Uh... Uh, well, not
if we're intruding.

We shouldn't overstay.

No. No, no. No. Please overstay.
No. No, no. No. Please overstay.

The more, the merrier. [Laughs]

I don't know about you, but
I'm feeling rather peckish.

[gulps]

Ooh, ooh. While I get things ready,
you can wait in the happy corner.

[grunts, gasps]

[whinnies]

I should start with
appetizers.[gasps] Tapas style.

[gulps]

No, Lyken, no. Don't
be such a foodie.

Skip right to the main course.
Or, better yet, dessert.

[whinnies]-[chuckles]

Okay, pal. We're trapped.

But maybe we can use something in
hereto help me reach my bag of tools.

This mud wall feels like the
onewe climb in the training yard.

I bet I could scale it, Pony.

Now, where'd I put that mallet?

Okay, Pony. I need
youto create a diversion

while I climb up the shelves.

Once I get to the top, I'll grab the
bagand use it to get us out of here.

[whinnies]

Mmm. [Slurps]

This could use more cardamom. [Gasps]
This could use more cardamom. [Gasps]

I love an occasionthat
calls for cardamom.

[groans] Huh?

[chuckles]-How did you get
out of the happy corner?

Let's just put you
backuntil the oven's ready.

Ohhh! Dinner
theater? Yes, please.

Look at all these wild veggies.

He must use them for
making intruder stew.

Well, he's not gettingmy
spork for eating it.

That was a five-star
performance.

But now, oh, time for a
five-star meal! [Chuckles]

No! I won't let Pony
become troll food.

[gasps] The Help-Me Horn.
I just, uh, need, uh

[whinnies][farts]

[chuckles]

To reach it. Got it!

Help! Help! Somebody help!
Help! Help! Somebody help!

Um, are you okay?

What do you care?

You're just gonna eat
meand my pal anyway.

Eat you? But I'm a
lacto-vegetarian.

[strains, grunts] Yeah, right.

Then where is Pony? Have you
put him in the pot already?

Um…

Pony?

[Lyken sighs] I'm sorry.[scoffs]
I gave you the wrong impression.

I thought we could sit down
and havesome tea and snacks.

Maybe play a game while we
waitedfor your friends. Ooh!

I've got Ravenous Rhinos,
Don't Wake Craggy,

and my favorite, No Clue!

Uh, I'm still not sureon
the rules for that one.

Never heard of any of them.

That's because I
made them myself!

But it's hard to gauge interest

when your test-marketis
just your mud buddies.

They don't give a lotof
constructive feedback.

Carrot and cardamom
cookie?[stomach growls]

Mmm. [Smacks lips] Okay.

If you weren't gonna eat us, why did you put us in that cage?
If you weren't gonna eat us, why did you put us in that cage?

[Lyken] Oh, my.

The happy corner is not a cage.

It's where I rehabilitate animalsthat
have accidentally fallen down here

before I set them free.

I thought you'd like to play
with my toyswhile you waited.

They're, uh, pretty cool, right?

Uh.

This is your home.

You know, for a troll,
you're not very mean.

I thought you'd at leastask
us a riddle or something.

I'm not really into riddles as
muchas I enjoy a good crossword.

[sighs] I miss getting
the daily paper.

If you're so lonely, why
do you stay down here?

I'm too embarrassed to leave.

I was rehoming treesfrom my
woodland with some friends

when I left to find a bigger
treeto impress them with.

But when I tried to lift iton
my own, I fell down here.

I was worried if I askedthe other trolls for help,
I was worried if I askedthe other trolls for help,

they'd think I couldn'tdo
anything without them.

I wanted them to think
that I was strong as oak.

But being down heremakes
me feel like sap.

How long have you been down here?-[sighs]
The beginning of the season.

I'm sure my friends
have long gone.

Lyken, there's no one
lookingfor us either.

I got lost and didn't want to use
the Help-Me Horn my dad gave me.

I wanted him to think I
could do this by myself.

But I wish I had used itto
call him when I had the chance.

[blusters]

I wish I had called for my
friendswhen I had the chance too.

But maybe I can call
your dadfor you instead!

A troll's bellow
can echo for miles.

Hmm. If my dad hears it,

he'll come running, and
he could help you too.

I'd appreciate that.

I think it's time to
step out of my shame.

Not to mention, I could
usemore stimulating company.

No offense, Darrel.
No offense, Darrel.

Here goes nothing.

[bellowing]

[birds cawing]-[bellowing
continues]

Hey, that's Lyken's call.

[groans] It came
from over there.

No, it's here.

Hey, I think I found a hole.

So that's where you've
been! [Chuckles]

Oh, we have been looking
all over for you.

[gasps] My friends. They
didn't leave me after all.

Bye, Lyken. Thanks
for your help.

[scream echoes]

Hey! You're okay.-Dad.

What's up? Why did the
hornsound like a troll bellow?

I'm sorry. I got us lost in the woods,
and I didn't wanna ask for help.

I wanted to show youl could
be an independent warrior.

Oh, Pinecone. I know your
independence is important.

But you can be independentwithout
having to be alone.

Even I ask for help when I need it. See?
Even I ask for help when I need it. See?

Whoa! Now that's a horn.

Oh, yeah. And I kinda used
it to call for backup.

[screaming]

[gasps]-[grunts]

Mom.-Oh, you're
all safe. Awesome.

So, should we all
go have some salad?

Yeah, Lyken gave me
plenty of veggies.

And cookies too.[Pony whinnies]

[Kimya chuckles] Cool.[whinnies]

Who's Lyken?

[Pinecone] "The
straight and arrow."

Mmm. Hot pie.

Hot pie alert!

[Greymoon] Marvelous.

[both sniffing]-Mmm.

Are those olives? Banana
peppers? Pineapples?

Yep, yep, and yep.

Okay, good.

'Cause those are Prince
Randolf'sfavorite pizza toppings.

It's all here in Archery Monthly.
It's all here in Archery Monthly.

Mom, did you knowPrince
Randolf can hit a lima bean

with an arrow from


And his favorite color is autumn
breeze? I mean, what is that even?

[chuckles] Okay.

Someone's excitedto
meet the prince today.

He's the best archerin
the Greater Kingdom area.

He won the Golden Archer
Tournamentwhen he was only ten.

The youngest winner ever!

Until you. You're only eight,
and you won it this year.

Yeah. I mean, kinda.

Kinda? [Chuckles]

Isn't that your freshly polished
trophysitting in the middle of the table?

I, uh, thought it wouldmake
a good centerpiece.

Okay. I wanted to
show it to the prince.

[sighs] I hope he
likes me.[whinnies]

[imitating trumpet]

Ooh. I have got to
get a real trumpet.

May I present our esteemed party guests,
May I present our esteemed party guests,

King Yew and Queen
Biancaof Fletchers' Vale,

accompanied by their
son, Prince Randolf!

[caws]

His falcon's name is Rudy.

Fun fact.[chuckles]

Oh, we're so glad you could make
it. Hope you brought your appetites.

You know it.

[caws]

Your Royal Majesty, it is I,
Princess Pinecone of Sturdystone,

and my royal steed, Pony.

[whinnies]

I'm a really, really,
really big fan.

I wanted to be a great archerjust
like you. So I practiced real hard,

and I won the Golden Archer
trophyjust like you did. Look.

Cool. I'm going over there now.

[scoffs] Wow, Prince Randolf's mean. Well-dressed but mean.
[scoffs] Wow, Prince Randolf's mean. Well-dressed but mean.

Maybe Randolf's just
shy around his fans?

I'm sure he'll warm
uponce he gets to know me.

Come on, pal. Let's go show
the princel'm the new friend

he never knew he needed to know.

May I get you a
napkin, Prince Randolf?

Hmph.

Uh… [chuckles]

What is with this thing?
I want more orange drink!

[Pinecone] Allow me
to help you with that.

[gasps]

Oops. Thought it
would go in the cup.

[groans]

[grunts]

[gasps]

[sighs]-[groans]

Never fear. I shall get it.

Wait, Pinecone.-Don't.

[air hisses]

Ah. Yeah, that was
a pretty bad idea.

[Rudy caws]-[groans]

What is your problem?

Huh? My problem?
Huh? My problem?

I just wanted to talk to you, but
you've been ignoring me all day.

I thought since we're
archers, we could be friends.

[chuckles] I'm the best
archerin all the land.

You're... You're just
some kid with a bow.

I won the same
tournament you did.

Must have been a
slow year. [Chuckles]

[blusters]

[groans]

If you think you'reso
much better than me,

maybe we shouldlet our
bows do the talking.

Sounds good to me. I challenge
you to an archer's duel.

If you win...

You have to apologizefor
being such a big meanie face!

[scoffs] If I win, I
get to keep your trophy.

Don't do it, Pinecone.

You're a great archer. You don't
need to prove anything to him.

Do it! Do it! Do it!
Do it! Do it! Do it!

[Pony whinnies]-[scoffs]

Training yard. Right now.
Training yard. Right now.

Hey, bud.

Where are you kids going?-To
battle for our honor.

Cool. Just be back for dessert.

The rules of an archer's
duel are simple.

The first archerto get
five bull's-eyes wins.

Works for me. You can go first.

If you say so.

Noice!

No big deal. I can do that too.

[caws]-[Pinecone gasps]

[laughing]

Hey! You distracted
me on purpose.

I don't control what Rudy
does. Falcons gonna caw.

That's one point
for me. [Laughs]

He cheated. He
distracted me on purpose.

Sorry, there's nothing in
myBig Book of Ancient Games

about interference
by falcon.[groans]

[Prince Randolf laughs]And she was all like,
[Prince Randolf laughs]And she was all like,

"Ooh. Ooh, falcon. Oh, no."

[scoffs] I can't let
him have my trophy.

I worked too hard
for it. [Slurps]

Ooh, what trophy are we talking
about?-My Golden Archer.

The best trophy I've ever won.

Hey! What about
the one I made you?

The World's Coolest
Pinecone Award?

It was a pine cone
you painted gold.

Yeah, but you can't
beat that title.

[slurps]

Juice break's over.

[grunts] Time to get
back to our duel.

[slurping]

[whinnies]

I'm all right, pal.
You go on without me.

I'll catch up in
a sec.[blusters]

[sighs]-[Greymoon] Heads up!

Huh?-[Greymoon] I mean, down!

Whoa.

[slurps] Ah, juice.

Heavenly nectar in
a box. [Chuckles]

Greymoon, I didn't know you
were such a good archer.

[scoffs] I'm such a good wizard.

I enchanted these arrowsto
entertain our guests.

They were impressed, of course.
I have that effect on people.

So these arrows are magic?

They never miss their aim.

And speaking of which, my aim
isto get more pizza. Excuse me.

They never miss.

[Prince Randolf] Hey, Pinenut!
What's the holdup? I want my trophy.

That cheater face! [Groans]

If he's not gonna play fair,
I'm not gonna play fair either.

[blusters]

Ready for round two?

I am now.

Round two is blindfolded.
Not that it'll stop me.

[groans] Very close.

But I doubt you could do
better. That shot is...

Impossible?

[sighs] Not for me, I guess.

Yay, Pinecone!-Amazing shot!

So we're tied one all, big deal.
So we're tied one all, big deal.

You still needfour more
bull's-eyes to win.

I don't think
that'll be a problem.

[groans]

[Rudy caws]

[caws]-[gasps]

[gasps]

Whoo!

[blusters]

[bell rings]

[bell rings]

[grunts]

[bell rings]

Yeah! One more point, and Pinecone wins!
Yeah! One more point, and Pinecone wins!

Whoo! Pinecone!-Yay, Pinecone!

Whoo!-[Annabelle] Yes!

[Hawthorn]
Whoo-hoo!-[Annabelle] Yeah!

[whinnies]

Hey, pal.

Aren't you gonna come watch
metake down Prince Meanie Face?

Man, I have got to come
upwith a better burn.

[whinnies]

My arrows? What are
you... [Pony blusters]

Oh. You saw that, huh?

[whinnies]

I know it's not right to cheat.

But I can't let Prince Randolf
walk awaywith my special trophy.

You understand, right, pal?

[blusters]-I guess not.

[farts]

For this challenge, the
target is now 50 paces back.

Randolf can hit a lima
beanfrom 50 paces back.

How did you know
that?-Just a guess.

Whatever. Let's just get this over with.
Whatever. Let's just get this over with.

[Hawthorn]
Bull's-eye.[bell rings]

Score is now tied at four-all.

Pinecone, if you make this shot,
you'll win the duel and this trophy,

which is technically yours
already. But you get to keep it.

Pinecone! Pinecone! Pinecone!
Pinecone! Pinecone! Pine...

[Kimya]The World's
Coolest Pinecone Award.

"World's Coolest Pinecone."

I don't deserve to win.

I used Greymoon's
magic arrows to cheat.

[gasps]-No way.

[laughs] Whoo! Yeah!

I knew you couldn'tbe
better than me. [Laughs]

[sighs]

I earned that trophy with hard
workbecause I wanted to be like you.

But now that I met you, I
don't wanna be like you at all.

I wanna be a great archer, but I'd rather be the coolest Pinecone.
I wanna be a great archer, but I'd rather be the coolest Pinecone.

Whatever. Just
give me my trophy.

[whinnies]

[scoffs]

Randolf, what are you
doingwith Pinecone's trophy?

I won it.

Oh, no, you didn't.Give
it back right now.

But, Dad…

Now.

[groans]

Mmm.

So, who wants cake?

[gasps] Yes!-I do!

[Hawthorn] Yum.

Thanks, pal.

And I want you to have this one.
