## Synopsis

An ancient prophecy from a Martian calendar predicts the world will end in 1995.

## Plot

Winkie accidentally ties his only jacket to a weather balloon Mr. Squiggles releases to gather data on a bizarre series of weather patterns on Earth. He then shoots the weather balloon down to retrieve his jacket, which land in Zhu Zhu Central Park, only to be taken away by a Zhu Zhu Central Park badger. As the Zhu Zhu Pets follow the badger, with Pipsqueak breaking her leg when Winkie tries to save her from falling, the gang discovers an ancient Martian pyramid and calendar predicting that the world is going to end in 1995. Based on the data gathered from the weather balloon, Mr. Squiggles finds out that the Sun is going to release a solar flare that will destroy Earth. An electromagnetic storm then strikes Earth, rendering all electrical appliances, including spaceships useless. But Jilly finds out that the pyramid they discovered is actually a spaceship that can hold 30,000 Zhus and runs on snakes. The gang tried to test the spaceship for themselves, but was caught by Stinker and brought before Rocco. The raccoon then decides that a Decision Making Machine is to be used to select the most optimal cross-sections of humanity to be taken to Mars where they will start life anew. Winkie is selected for his 'lucky jacket' while Pipsqueak is rejected due to Stinker being the pilot of the spaceship. Before boarding begins, Winkie disguises his ticket as one for Pipsqueak and decides to remain on Earth with Chunk, who stays to loot. After arriving at Mars, where they are greeted by Jilly's parents, Quarterback and Cherry, the hamsters are approached by Singing Wind, who clarifies that the solar flare will actually strike Mars, not Earth as speculated as the solar flare will bypass Earth and reach Mars. Jilly is then blamed over the predicament, saying that she got mixed up between the Ancient and Modern Martian language in trying to decipher the ancient Martian calendar. The hamsters attempt to escape, but can't because Stinker has dismantled the stone spaceship to build a memorial for those who stayed behind Earth. As the solar flare strikes Mars, it ignites the gases contained in its crust and causes it to propel towards Earth. The hamsters manage to jump off Mars back onto Earth as it goes within yards of their home planet. However, Pipsqueak is unable to jump back due to her broken leg. Winkie then climbs on top of the Zhu Zhu building hoping to catch Pipsqueak as Mars passes by but they only manage to tear off each other's arms in the process. Later, it is revealed that Nugget rescued Pipsqueak with a ladder. With Mars still on Earth's orbit, Mr. Squiggles uses the birthmark machine first seen on "Rebirthmark" to make new arms for Winkie and Pipsqueak while their torn off arms are then shown floating off in space, held to each other. Mr. Squiggles uses 22 bottle of poison and 28 bottle of bowling ball polish for hair care products. He sheds 4 tears, and Jilly murmurs 10 times. Num Nums sniffs 1,052 times.

He reads *Bad Boys Life* magazine with 35 pages, and Winkie shows the hamsters his collection of *Star Wars* action figures including Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca 41 times. Chunk eats 25 chocolates and drinks 31 colas. Num Nums eats 159 donuts, and Pipsqueak is disgruntled about her missing arm 165 times. Mr. Squiggles turns 73 pages in *The Joy of Cooking Cupcakes*, Chunk's cookbook. He gathers 1,092 bars of soap. Chunk eats 41 cheeses and 47 salads. Mr. Squiggles adds 21 cups of salt water with 27 ozones to the birthmark machine. He adds 46 cups of fruit juice and 52 hamster fleshes to the birthmark machine. The birthmark machine creates 24 viruses, and Chunk eats 30 ice creams. Mr. Squiggles adds 35 cups of V8 juice and 41 gasolines to the birthmark machine. The birthmark machine creates Gummi Venus de Milo in 37 seconds. It creates 77X42 in 25 minutes with 31 super sour balls. Chunk eats 30 Wax Lips candies and 36 Pop Rox candies.
