What if a space monster ate a spaceship?
It’s the year 20,018, and Alabaster Infinity has to team up with Dr. Whendiana Joan to find a new galaxy to inhabit. But when their RocCat Ship is set upon by monsters of many colors, can the intrepid crew survive?
Lessons include: it’s fun to have favorite things, as long as it doesn’t close you off to new experiences; however strange someone’s culture may seem, they are probably still capable (and deserving) of great kindness.

What if you sang so loud that it shattered the world?
Howvarotti has not had a chance to sing on the show in a loooong time. If all goes well, no one will end up floating around in space looking for help from a magical Fire Snail on Whupiter…
Lessons: Unfairness can be hard to see — practice critical thinking and remember that sometimes we may be the ones being unfair; it’s okay if a friend enjoys a gift from you in a way you didn’t intend
