Post by bunniefuu »

-Okay. There's this really
bad dude named Hacker.

-The Hacker, to you.
-Whatever.

He wants to take over the
cyber world from Motherboard.

The three kids are sucked
into Cyberspace,

and they use brain power
to help save everybody.

-Okay, here's the plan.

-So they travel all over and run
into all these weird creatures

and have all these
awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them
to save Cyberspace.

Can three cool kids and a
wacky bird outsmart the Hacker?

-Never!

-There's only one way
to find out.

Tune in to "Cyberchase."

Folks are waiting
for their orders!

-Looks like everyone
in Cyberspace

is here doing their last-minute
shopping for Giving Thanks Day.

-And why not?

-Cornucopia has the best fruits
and veggies a snelfu could buy.

-Ah, Giving Thanks Day --

food, family, and friends,
a lot to be thankful for.

-I'm also thankful
for Jackie's pumpkin pie,

creamy, cinnamon-y,
pumpkin-y goodness.

Yum!

Hey. Where is Jacks?

-Over in the pumpkin patch.

-Good morning!

-Farmer Stewart!

Say hi to my friends,
Matt and Inez.

-Any friends of Digit's
are friends of mine.

Have you seen
my purple potatoes?

Grew them for the first time
this year.

-Yum!

♪♪

-Hmm, nope.

Can't have a pumpkin
with a dent.

Hmm, not this one either.

It's cracked.

Gee, not too many
good ones left.

Ooh, wait!
This one is perfect.

-Hey, Jacks.

Check out these purple potatoes.

-Oh!

Just what we need for
our Giving Thanks dinner!

-You're going to love them.

-We better get a move on.

We have a lot of cooking
to do today.

-Thanks for everything,
Farmer Stewart.

-Happy Giving Thanks Day!

with those carrots?

-Almost ready for my soup!

-Carrot soup -- check.

-Inez, potato status?

-Got a pot full of
perfect purple potatoes

ready to be cooked and mashed!

-Potatoes -- check.

-Pumpkin pie ready yet?

-Not yet, Dig.
I've got to finish this crust.

Then I'll start the filling.

-Yummy, yummy.

I can't wait to eat!

-If you want to eat sooner,

you could help me
chop these carrots.

I was so excited
about the Jackster's pie,

I wasn't paying attention.

There we go.

-Thanks, Dig.

-Crust is ready.

Time to make
the pumpkin filling!

-What do you need, Jacks?

-Um, where's the pumpkin?

-No pumpkin here.

-Now that I think of it,

I don't remember bringing
one back from Cornucopia.

-I forgot to get one!

-Tell me you didn't say that.

-I did.
-No!

We can't have forgotten
a pumpkin!

This is awful!

We might as well call off
Giving Thanks Day.

Maybe we have some canned
pumpkin somewhere in here.

No! It's not the same!

Pumpkin pie.

Okay, we won't be needing
these dessert plates anymore,

not without pumpkin pie.

-I-I'm sure we can
figure this out, Dig.

-How?

We can't have a Giving Thanks
Day dinner without pumpkin pie!

How could I forget the pumpkin?

-I-It's okay!

You didn't mean to.

We'll just go back to Cornucopia
and get another pumpkin!

-Yeah?
-Inez is right.

Problem solved.
-Right.

Of course. Come on!

Time's a-wasting!

-I'll get a basket.

-Huh? We brought home
three baskets of food,

and one is already filled
with our food scraps.

-Wow. That means we're not using
one-third of what we bought.

-We'll compost the scraps!

Let's go, please.

-Whoa!

Where'd all the food go?

-Back so soon?

-We need a pumpkin,
Farmer Stewart.

We are desperate for a pumpkin!

-Gee, I'm sorry, Digit.

I'm sold out.

-You sold out of all of them?

-Afraid so.

Takes me months and months
to grow all the food

for the fall harvest,
and every year around this time,

I sell most of it.

Sold the last of it
just a little while ago.

-This is awful!

-I don't get it.

I wasn't hurt.

Keep my darling niece

-What are we going to do?

I need a pumpkin for my pie.

-Have you tried another farm?

-No way, Farmer Stewart.

The pumpkins you grow are the
freshest and best in Cyberspace.

-I don't understand.

How did the rest of the food
sell out so quickly?

We were just here!

-It was the strangest thing,
actually.

Someone came by just after you,

and he bought everything I had
left, including my pumpkins.

-Maybe if we find him,
we can buy a pumpkin from him!

Do you remember who it was?

-I never met him before.

He was happy though,
had two others with him.

-What'd they look like?

-One was short,
and the other one was taller,

the really big guy "Boss."

extra pumpkin from Cornucopia,

and I would be really thankful

if I could trade you
some squash for a pumpkin

so I can make
my famous pumpkin pie.

-No!

Buh-bye.

-Come on, Hacker!

We need pumpkin pie!

Give us just one pumpkin.

-Wow, Unky Hacker.

You have so many friends!

-Of course I do.

Now let's make the applesauce.

-Okay, so we didn't get
a pumpkin from Hacker.

There's got to be
a good pumpkin we can use.

I mean, look at them all!

-But they're all
dented and bruised.

-And ugly.

-[ Gasps ]

Not this one!

Oh.

-Forget about it.

It's got a huge dent in it.

-Wait.
Only part of it is dented.

The rest looks okay.

-Guess you're right.

-No way.
If we use this ugly pumpkin,

your perfect pumpkin pie
won't be perfect.

-Hang on, Dig.

I don't use the outer shell
for my pie.

Maybe I'll just cut around
the dented part.

-If you can do that,
it doesn't really matter

what the outside looks like,
right?

-Right.

-Any luck finding
what you're looking for?

-Maybe.

Can we please have one of these
damaged pumpkins?

-Absolutely!

You would not believe
how much food I have leftover

because people think
it's too ugly to eat,

and not just pumpkins.

-Really?
How much food could there be?

-Follow me.

-Whoa!

♪♪

-That's a lot of food.

-Oh, gosh.

There's so much waste here!

Can't you use any of this?

-Well, I compost some of it,
and some I feed to my animals,

but this happens every season.

-Can some of this be eaten?

-Sure! In fact, most of it can.

-Then why doesn't anyone buy it?

-Because everyone wants
the most perfect-looking fruits

and veggies they can find,
even though imperfect ones

taste just as good,
and they're just as healthy.

-I felt the same way.

I didn't want to use
an ugly pumpkin.

-Me too. Guilty.

-[ Sighs ]
I think we're all guilty.

-Just think, if we used
all of this imperfect food,

we could make enough dinner
for everyone in Cyberspace!

-Great idea!

Let's invite everyone
in Cyberspace

to a Giving Thanks Day dinner
right here on Cornucopia!

-Yeah!

We can use all this food
and cook it all together!
