The Balancing Act

Emmy has a brand new skateboard and she's ready to get skating! It's raining outside the playroom, though, so it doesn't look like she's going to be doing much skating. There's a solution to that, though - Dragon Land. Emmy and Max head there, skateboard in tow. There, Ord is impressed with Emmy's moves. He wants to try out the skateboard, but it's much too small for him. Quetzal to the rescue, he has some magic Gro-water which will make the skateboard bigger so that Ord can skate on it.

He doesn't want them making a mess though, so they'll have to take the cookies outside, and no spilling anything. Ord doesn't think he can do it, he's not a very good balancer. Max gives him a tip, keep his eyes straight ahead and he'll be able to balance better. Ord keeps an eye on Max's cookies and manages to make it without spilling anything. After finishing the cookies, the hunt continues for the skateboard. The gang comes to a ravine that's lined with some itchy fuzzbushes.
