Space Trouble

Space Tree is on the case to solve some trouble at the Command Center. Unfortunately, it takes him a week to get there, so in the end, he has to push a button.

## Transcript

(Opening credits)

(Cut to the Command Center, the Commander pushes a button and speaks into a microphone)

**Commander:** Come in Space Tree, there's trouble at the Command Center.

(Cut to Space Tree)

**Space Tree:** Did you just say there's trouble at the Command Center?

(Cut to the Commander, looking scared)

**Commander:** Ye-yess... Yes.

(Cut to Space Tree)

**Space Tree:** Well never fear my friend, (zooms in to Space Tree) because Space Tree (Cut to Space Tree's mouth) is on the case. Man.

(Space Tree dances around to some music)

(Cut to Space Tree entering through a door)

**Space Tree:** Space Tree is over here.

**Commander:** (Pops in) Space Tree?

(Cut to a red background with a felt-tip-like drawn Space Tree)

**Space Tree:** Space! Tree! (the words appear next to him)

(Cut to the Commander in a black-white drawing, with some ?s around his head, waving)

**Commander:** Uh, what are you doing here?

(Cut back to the Command Center)

**Space Tree:** You know, eh. The trouble. In the Command Center.

**Commander:** (His arm moves out of his body) I called you for that like five days ago. Where the hell you been?

(Cut to Space Tree)

**Space Tree:** Five... Five days... Uh. (an instant messenger window pops up next to him reading: S-TRIZZLE: five days... #: uh)

**Space Tree:** Oh I was... I was in hyperdrive... stasis.

(IM-window: S-TRIZZLE: I was in hyperdrive. #: hyperdrive stasis

(Cut to the Commander)

**Commander:** What? That... that doesn't even make sense, man. What are you talking about?

(IM-window: cmd69: lol #: wtf are you even talking about? #: stasis more like gaysis #: fag)

(Cut to the Command Center)

**Space Tree:** Look, give me a break alright? I'm a frickin' tree, and you expect me to pilot a spaceship? I mean look at me, I don't even have any eyes, what the hell, man. {One of his sticks breaks off as he waves them around}

**Commander:** Oh... Well I thought you steered around with your little branches there. (Points to them)

(cut to Space Tree from the bottom)

**Space Tree:** {Annoyed, muttering} My little bran...

(cut back)

**Space Tree:** Look, you try steering a Spaceship with some friggin' twigs alright. Let's see how you like it.

**Commander:** (Holds 2 branches) I like it fine. And uh, hey, look at this. (Puts the branches into his head, holding a flag saying: YAY 4 TREE) Yay I'm a Tree. Look at my big tree face. (cut to Space Tree and back to the Commander, as the background spins) I can not figure out how to fly a spaceship because my puny arms are unable to reach the controls. Oh no. *(Commander continues to mutter, mentioning a bird nest)*

(Cut to Space Tree at the door)

**Space Tree:** (Sighs) Next time in an emergency, just call me a few days in advance. (Goes through the door)

(Space Tree goes back, with the music playing backwards, too)

(Cut to Space Tree, in a new location. There is a red button and a sign reading: "Push this button").

**Space Tree:** Well I guess there's nothing left to do but push this button.

(Pushes it four times, nothing happens)

**Space Tree:** Huh.

(End credits)

## Fun Facts

* This episode was originally uploaded on Newgrounds under the title "Space Tree the Space Tree"
* This was one of the two episodes that were released on Newgrounds. The other was Space Jam.
* Unlike the other early episodes, this one has no play button in the opening credits. The Newgrounds version however, has one.
* The Commander and Space Tree look kind of different compared to the other episodes. Furthermore, they look different in almost every scene.
* In one frame (might be more) during the IM conversation when Commander is talking, the IM panel says that the Commander says "fag" just before the scene transition with the giant "LOOK" sign appears.
* This toon has been the basis for the recurring joke: Trouble at the Command Center.
