[Soft music plays]

[Loud snoring]

Two Bananaraptors sleep back to back in the forest. On a beach by a lake, Split sneaks across the sand.

The narrator says, THE BABY PEA-REXES
ARE ON AN EXPEDITION TO CATCH
DINNER.

Minty and Wasabi follow Split. A short distance behind the Pea-Rexes, Ginger cautiously follows.

The narrator says, PEA-REXES PREFER TO HUNT IN
PODS OF THEIR OWN KIND, BUT ON
THIS OCCASION...

Ginger trips over a rock.

She yelps, WHOA!

The three Pea-Rexes say, SHH!

They glance toward the sleeping Bananaraptors.

[Bananaraptors snoring loudly]

[Pea-Rexes sighing in relief]

Ginger quietly says, LOOK, IF YOU WANT ME TO SIT
THIS ONE OUT, JUST SAY THE WORD.

Pea-Rexes all say, WORD, WORD, WORD,
WORD, WORD, WORD.

Wasabi and Split continue toward the Bananaraptors.

Minty adds, WORD.

He follows his brothers.

Ginger says, SO, THAT'S A MAYBE?

She follows the Pea-Rexes.

[Soft, bright music plays]

Elsewhere on the beach, Split stops at markings in the sand.

[Split gasping]

Minty bumps into Split, and Wasabi bumps into Minty.

[Grunting]

The narrator says, OH, SPLIT SEEMS TO
HAVE FOUND SOME TRACKS!

Minty looks at the markings in the sand. Split rubs his hands together and licks his lips.

[Slurping]

The narrator says, WASABI CAN ALMOST TASTE HIS
DINNER.

Wasabi licks his foot.

The narrator says, THE PEAS ARE ALERT TO ANY
SUDDEN MOVEMENTS.

The Pea-Rexes roll like balls as they follow the tracks up the beach.

[Pea-Rexes chattering]

Ginger says, OKAY, LET'S ROLL.

She tries to roll across the sand, but struggles.

[Ginger grunting]

Ginger stumbles onto her back. The Pea-Rexes pause.

She says, WHOOPSIES, THE SUN WAS RIGHT IN
MY EYES.

[Pea-Rexes grunting]

The Pea-Rexes look annoyed. Wasabi sticks out his tongue. Suddenly, the strand of hair on Split’s head straightens.

Split says, HUH?

His hair points in different directions.

The narrator says, PEA-REXES CAN DETECT THE
TINIEST OF VIBRATIONS.

Minty smells the air.

[Minty and Wasabi chattering]

Split follows the direction his hair points to. It leads him to more tracks in the sand

Split says, HMM.

[Snuffling]

Ginger slowly follows the Pea-Rexes.

She quietly says, I CAN'T SEE –

The Pea-Rexes interrupt Ginger and say, SHH!

Ginger starts to say, ANY –

The Pea-Rexes once again say, SHH!

Ginger finishes, – THING.

The Pea-Rexes say, SHH!

They look annoyed. A critter scurries across the beach.

The Pea-Rexes say, HUH?

[Narrator gasping]

The narrator says, IT'S A CHILIPEDE.

The red chilipede turns toward the Pea-Rexes.

[Pea-Rexes gasping]

The Pea Rexes run after the chilipede.

[Pea-Rexes cheering excitedly]

Ginger calls out, STOP, DON'T EAT THAT!
THEY'RE WAY TOO HOT!

The Pea-Rexes run faster after the fast critter.

The narrator says, BUT THE BABY PEA-REXES HAVE
THEIR TUMMIES SET ON THIS FAST
FOOD.

The Pea-Rexes hurry after the chilipede. They follow it over a rock and toward a forest.

[Pea-Rexes chattering]

[Pea-Rexes panting]

Ginger races after the Pea-Rexes.

She yells, STOP, DON'T!

[Pea-Rexes panting]

[Pea-Rexes chattering]

Wasabi says, YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY,
YUMMY, YUMMY.

Split and Minty follow the chilipede into a small castle-like structure. Wasabi squeezes himself through the entrance after his brothers.

[Pea-Rexes grunting]

[Ginger panting]

Ginger runs up to the castle as the Pea-Rexes chase the chilipede up the different levels. The Pea-Rexes pop in and out of different doors and windows in the castle.

[Pea-Rexes giggling]

Ginger says, WHOA, HUH?

The Pea-Rexes chase multiple other chilipedes through the castle.

Ginger looks shocked.

The narrator says, THE PEA-REXES LOVE SPICY FOOD
AND ARE ENJOYING MUNCHING ON
THESE VEGGIE SNACKS.

[Chomping]

Minty licks his lips and smiles.

[Munching]

Wasabi smiles happily.

[Ginger giggling]

Ginger says, MY MISTAKE, I THOUGHT THOSE
THINGS WERE LIKE, SUPER DUPER...

Split chases a chilipede through a doorway. The chilipede leaps off the castle and into Ginger’s mouth.

[Ginger yelping]

Ginger’s eyes widen. Steam blows out of her ears and nose.

[Steam hissing]

Ginger yells, HOT!

[Ginger’s yelling echoing]

The narrator says, UNFORTUNATELY, TRICARROTOPS
HAVE VERY LOW SPICE TOLERANCE.

[Ginger panting]

Ginger frantically runs around the sand.

The narrator says, CHILIPEDES EMIT A TOXIN THAT IS
A THOUSAND TIMES HOTTER THAN
THE HOTTEST CHILI THAT EXISTS
TODAY.

On the bananaraptors beach, the two bananaraptors wake up.

[Ginger screaming in the distance]

The bananaraptors say, HMM?

[Bananaraptors snickering]

The short bananaraptor leads the tall bananaraptor across the boulders in the lake.

The narrator says, BANANARAPTORS DON'T LIKE SPICE
EITHER.

[Ginger panting]

Ginger looks red.

[Ginger whimpering]

Ginger sticks her head in water.

[Steam hissing]

Steam billows around Ginger. Ginger takes her head out of the water.

She says, OH YEAH, THAT'S THE GOOD
STUFF.

The narrator says, THEY PREFER THEIR FOODS TO BE
IN BIG TROUBLE.

The bananaraptors creep toward Ginger.

They say, BAN-NAN-NAN-AH.

Ginger looks nervous.

She says, UH-OH.

The bananaraptors grin.

[Bananaraptors chattering]

Ginger says, HOW…HOW ARE YOU GUYS, UH, DOING?

[Bananaraptors laughing evilly]

[Minty whistling from the castle]

Split says, YOO-HOO!

Ginger looks over her shoulder.

She says, AH, GOOD PLAN.
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE TURN UP THE
HEAT?

[Bananaraptors grumbling]

Ginger says, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!

She runs toward the castle.

[Bananaraptors grumbling]

The bananaraptors chase Ginger across the beach.

[Ginger giggling]

Ginger leads the bananaraptors in circles around the chilipede’s castle.

[Bananaraptors growling]

[Short bananaraptor panting]

Ginger jumps aside. The bananaraptors continue running around the castle.

[Ginger giggling]

The short bananaraptor looks tired.

[Short bananaraptor panting]

The short bananaraptor stops running. The tall bananaraptor runs into them and they both fall over.

[Bananaraptors grunting]

Ginger says, LET'S LOAD 'EM UP, GANG!

The bananaraptors say, HUH?

They look at the Pea-Rexes on the castle.

[Pea-Rexes chattering]

The Pea-Rexes run into the castle as the bananaraptors approach.

Ginger says, FIRE WHEN READY!

Multiple chilipedes are launched into the bananaraptors’s mouths. The bananaraptors step back from the castle.

[Bananaraptors grunting]

Steam blows out of the bananaraptors’s ears. They shake the chilipedes out of their mouths and run away from the castle.

[Bananaraptors yelping]

The narrator says, THE BANANA RAPTORS WILL BE
OKAY, JUST A LITTLE BRUISED AND
BATTERED FOR NOW.

[Ginger giggling]

Split, Minty and Wasabi stand on Ginger’s head.

Ginger says, NOW THAT'S TEAMWORK!

[Ginger and the Pea-Rexes laughing]

Ginger starts walking away from the castle.
