Jungle Master Page #3

You are my first friend.

And also, you're a girl.

But listen, we shouldn't

leave here before morning.

The creatures around here

get wild at night.

( Chattering )

I'm not scared of that.

I'm a female superhero.

Sorry.

In that case, welcome to team Rainie.

By the way, Rainie, Happy Birthday.

Huh? Oh, thanks.

( Birds chirping )

( Yawns )

Huh?

You're up finally.

And we're still gonna

have that adventure.

I came up with a destination

for us on the map.

Huh?

Whoa, where did you learn that?

Wish I had some hairspray.

I feel all frizzy on top.

- It looks nice. It really does.

- But I'll get used to it.

Excuse me? Did you just say something?

No, I was talking about my dagger.

It's a nice one.

And it'll come in handy.

Grandpa gave it to me for graduation.

Excuse me? What did you graduate from?

- Oh, no, we can't go there.

- Why not?

Too dangerous. You could

die in the fallen forest.

How about the Falls or the Wetlands?

Look, there's lots of wildlife.

You could see a worm with six eyes,

also a moth that flies

upside down, kinda.

- Hmm?

- I'm just saying...

But I suppose we can go

to the fallen forest.

There you go. Now we're

getting somewhere.

There is one problem.

- Which would be?

- The whole area is protected

by a huge bottomless cliff.

We'll never get past it.

Blue, I'm going to the fallen forest

today to collect some samples.

You and Rainie watch over the house.

I will be home for dinner.

That means we have a ride,

so the adventure's back on.

When you put it that way.

Whoa, can't go without my knife.

Will you get it in gear?

Do you have any weapons you can bring?

I'm just asking.

Here we go, my friend.

I hope it's the last time

we're forced to do this.

I have to tell you, we're way too old

to be doing these dangerous

expeditions together.

Why did you make this

secret tunnel so small?

I can barely get through.

Hey, move your tail feathers

before I bump into them.

This sure doesn't seem

like a tree house.

It's more like a big cave.

Blue? Blue?

Argh!

Yow? Crud, you should be scared.

I need more practice.

Ha!

Why am I so dizzy?

Surprised, Blue? Let that

be a lesson for the future.

Don't scare girls who know kung fu. Ha!

I'm so scared.

You can't catch me!

Where are you going, smart Aleck?

Where you can't find me, that's where.

Don't hit the face. Anything but that.

I'll give you my desserts for a year.

You can wear my hat a week.

- Just don't hit the face.

- Wow.

This is amazing.

Where are we, Blue?

Blue:
This is the heart

of the tree mansion.

Grandpa told me that

when he first saw it,

he couldn't believe his eyes.

He did an isotope test on it,

and it turns out to be

over 1000 years old.

- Kind of cool, isn't it?

- Way cool.

Oh, well, gotta go,

or we'll miss our ride. Come on.

Whoa, how deep does this go?

I can't believe it.

It's like a bottomless pit.

This bridge is kind of shaky.

What if I slip? It's a long fall.

This is nuts. They'll

never be able to find me.

Well, up to you.

But listen, this bridge

is the only way to our ride.

It's part of the adventure.

Great explorers are always careful.

How do you think they live so long?

Out of the way, four ears.

- Move it.

- You sure?

Just be careful.

Rainie, Rainie, use your brainie.

Do you plan to keep going?

Fine.

Watch out!

Are you all right?

Just fine.

Whoa!

I don't understand.

You're nearly there.

Why are you going so slow?

Zip it, pal.

Oh, we got over. Didn't break a sweat.

I was just waiting for you to catch up.

Less talking, more walking.

We have a ride to catch.

You ready?

( Engine starts )

- Okay, run as fast as you can.

- Gotcha.

Here.

Tiny space.

Surprised?

Yeah, kinda. The science

geek has a secret lab.

Grandpa's not really a geek.

He's a respected scientist.

Sorry, that came out wrong. I

didn't meant to insult the man.

This place is interesting...

All these machines.

This is just a little of what he's got.

If we get a chance, I'll

take you to his main lab.

That one's a whole lot better.

I was wondering what my Grandpa does

every time he goes to the fallen forest.

- He never takes me with him.

- Why can't I open this?

Oh, those are sample containers.

The green light indicates

whatever's inside is in good shape.

The red light indicates

something's wrong with it.

Hey, I found it.

Don't mess with those.

You don't know what kind of

trouble you could get into.

I wonder why this is so important.

Hey, what are you talking about?

The things Grandpa's trying to collect.

I think he's after the Seeds of Wisdom.

- Really? What are those?

- Very rare.

Grandpa says they're a special plant

and only live in the fallen forest.

They can think like humans

with knowledge and wisdom.

( Screeches )

( Machine whirring )

Did he make it or not?

Don't you have the results yet?

Coming in now, sir.

We have a signal.

Let me see.

Ah, so that's

the jungle planet, is it? Interesting.

I must say, the monkey seems

very much at home there.

Men:
We did it!

Quiet. What are you celebrating for?

I'm the one that made this happen.

You just followed orders.

Now you're dancing around?

Get back to work.

Yes, sir.

You, get the transport ready.

I'm going to the jungle planet myself.

I can't wait to see

our dear Dr. Sedgwick.

( Laughing )

But, sir, the vehicle isn't reliable.

The circuit board still has some flaws.

Then fix the thing.

I want it fixed

and ready to leave in 15 minutes.

Yes, sir. We'll get right on it.

Penny, keep an eye on them for me.

( Hums a tune )

Wow, brainy plants.

Yeah. In fact,

they were so smart, Grandpa

couldn't find them.

- Hey, I've got an idea.

- Ow.

Our adventure will be

to go find those plants.

Ta-dah!

What do you think about that?

Come on, really,

isn't that a great plan?

- Whoa, easy.

- Whoa, what's happening?

Is your Grandpa any good

at driving this thing?

As far as I know. Whoa!

Argh!

I never knew this lab

was in the complex.

You're sure this is

where we'll find Rainie?

Shh, let's focus.

Zero, eight, one, zero, two, eight.

Careful, we don't know

who sent you that message.

- ( Panel beeps )

- I don't have time to worry about that.

- Dr. Sedgwick is such a brilliant mind.

- It opened.

Man #2:
I agree completely.

I've been following his work

since I was a grad student.

Man #3:
Me too. He's amazing.

Man #2:
I don't know anyone else

who could have discovered

the dimensional portal

and actually make it work.

What was that?

It's taken the Doctor 12 years

to figure out the portal's mechanics,

and it still give him fits.

And when he gets back

from the jungle planet,

he'll probably tinker with

it for years to come.

We'll have to put in

lots more 15-hour days.

- But what's new?

- ( All sigh )

But wait, I forgot there's a plus

to having those extra hours.

We'll be making lots of overtime pay.

Yes!

And another thing... I'm so excited

- to try the Doctor's new hot sauce on fried pork.
