The Case of the Zzzzz's

**The Case of the Zzzzz's** is the thirty-first episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and is the eighty-third episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with Marina, Fishtronaut, and Zeek doing their activities and later started going to sleep. The next day, the trio began sharing their dreams when they started sleeping last night (Fishtronaut dreamed of being an astronaut on the rings of Saturn and Marina dreamed of being a fish with colourful scales who had to use candle at the bottom of the ocean when the light went out). Fishtronaut tells Zeek to know if he had a dream last night, but Zeek could not think of a dream. Suddenly, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a pair of pajamas and a snoring bag

Receiving the clues, Marina thought of the clues that have something to do with the benefits of sleeping and Fishtronaut started thinking that sleeping has something to do with Zeek by finding animals that sleep during the day. Arriving to Monkey Island where bats are sleeping, Fishtronaut and Marina ask one of them by finding anything that has to do with sleep. The bat decided to go back to sleep before he can finish talking and Zeek thought one of the bats have been affected with a sleeping problem as Marina says that sleeping during the day is normal for bats. Behind the trio is a family of zebras whose foal is very sleepy. The trio decided to talk to the zebra family. Upon meeting the zebras, the mother zebra tells them that the family was supposed to visit Cicada Beach, but instead decided not to go, because the foal is very sleepy and can't keep up with the family about to visit the beach. The father zebra explains that their daughter isn't sleeping very well, as Fishtronaut found out that the clues are linked to the sleepy zebra. The trio decides to arrive to the spot at night where they first met the zebra family.

Later that night, the baby zebra is startled by the call of a potoo bird as Marina sees the potoo in the sky. Fishtronaut made a suggestion for the zebra foal to have a peaceful rest, but Marina said to watch the sleeping zebras a little longer in case the foal is startled by a noise. As Marina continues watching the zebras with her binoculars, Fishtronaut decides to investigate to know which noise is bothering the foal. Inside the bush is a raccoon who is the main cause of disturbing the zebra foal. The raccoon explains that he was looking for food at night and apologizes to the zebra foal for disturbing her sleep. The raccoon then decides to keep looking for food without disturbing the zebra foal. Marina is curious that the snoring bag clue may be linked to the potoo's call and the raccoon finding food causing the zebra foal to be awake and without the noise, the zebra would sleep in peace. Zeek started falling asleep as Fishtronaut tells Zeek that the zebra began falling asleep in sleep. Before the trio goes back home, we see one of the bats passing by the trio and the zebras (this could be the reason why bats are active at night). Upon seeing the bat, Marina talks to the mother zebra to know if anything happened differently with them. The mother zebra explains that the zebra family takes a walk every day, eats grass, and moved to Monkey Island. The mother zebra explains that the family moved from Sloth Forest to Monkey Island as the grass seemed greener on Monkey Island rather than Sloth Forest. Marina then reveals her flashback, very similar to the little zebra unable to sleep. Marina explains that when she was a little girl, she and her family moved to another place not in Smiling Trees Park and the same thing happened to her: Marina couldn't sleep, because of the different noises (probably because of the noises in the neighbourhood). The zebra foal than agrees with Marina's memory, since she cannot stand the sound of strange noises. It is revealed that it isn't only the potoo's call and the raccoon's search for food, but it is all the strange sounds bothering her. The mother zebra tells her daughter that why she was unable to explain, so it is because the zebra foal was too embarrassed to explain to her family. Marina then decide to think of an idea to help the zebra foal by thinking of what everyone is afraid of.

The next day, the same raccoon from night tells the zebra foal that he is afraid of heights. The zebra foal says that she isn't scared of heights, since she's good at jumping, but Marina is a little scared of thunder so she tells her if she is afraid of thunder. The zebra explains that she doesn't mind thunder, since she likes the rain. Fishtronaut thought of an idea about what he is scared of, but must be kept as a secret: cabbage leaves. It is revealed that the zebra likes to eat cabbage leaves and Marina tells Zeek what he is afraid of. Zeek says that he is afraid of a giant anthropomorphic banana that keeps chasing Zeek during a nightmare and thinks the banana is going to eat him, as Fishtronaut says that he must have eaten many bananas, which caused a nightmare towards Zeek. Having solved the mission, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** bamboo wind chimes

Receiving the reward, Fishtronaut explains to Zeek that the wind chimes can help sleepy people have nice dreams as Zeek says that the sound may have been putting him to sleep. That night, the trio decides to go back to sleep as we see images of the potoo and the bat flying around at night.
