The Case of the Rock Shower

**The Case of the Rock Shower** is the twenty-first episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and the seventy-third episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with Marina listening to music with her mobile phone. Outside, a meteorite starts appearing outside the Beanstalk Care Center in the sky as we hear a loud rumble (Dr. Green doesn't see the meteorite, as he is sleeping on his couch during the night). The next day, Zeek accidentally sits on a miniature home that belongs to Marina's pet hamster Cuddles. Zeek tries to wake up Cuddles the hamster, but Marina tells him that Cuddles should sleep (Fishtronaut tells Zeek that hamsters are nocturnal animals - meaning hamsters stay up all night and sleep during the day, just like owls). All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio, including Marina's pet hamster Cuddles.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a telescope and a pair of glasses with big eyes

Receiving the clues, Marina is curious that the mission has something to do with the sky, as Fishtronaut tells the two that telescopes are what people use to see things in the sky as telescopes make it possible for people to see stars, galaxies, and other planets on the Solar System. Upon looking at Fishtronaut wearing the glasses, Zeek thinks that martians are arriving towards the park, in which Marina says that martians and other extraterrestrials do not exist. Fishtronaut thought the mission has something to do with creatures that have big eyes(one of the P.O.P.'s clues) and live in the park besides extraterrestrials. Marina tells the viewers to help them find creatures that have big eyes. The trio then encounters a tarsier, who says that everything is fine in the park, with an exception of the loud explosion that woke him up last night. The tarsier then points to the part where the loud explosion from last night would have come from.

The trio then decides to find an owl, who could be in real trouble near the part where the explosion came from, just like the tarsier said to them. Arriving to the spot where the owl was supposed to live, Zeek asks the owl to know if she saw any martians in the park as Fishtronaut tells him that if everything is fine with her. The owl says that she was relaxing fine last night until she heard a loud explosion in the park last night. Zeek thought a martian's spaceship was the one that landed in the park, but before Zeek can continue talking, the owl then falls asleep as Marina has found out that she has heard of an explosion and a flash of light that occurred in the park last night. Fishtronaut then says that a storm was not the one, since there is nothing wrong with the water level, but an unknown cause. Fishtronaut found out that the telescope clue has something to do with the park's observatory.

Inside the observatory, Marina tells Fishtronaut that everything seems to be normal on the diagram as Zeek uses the telescope and sees four holes on the ground in which he thought a UFO has created four holes on the park. Marina then tells Zeek that everything is okay, since the holes that Zeek saw aren't from the martian's spaceship, but the holes are badger burrows. The trio then decides to talk to the badger, in which the badger hasn't seen anything that fell from the sky. The badger also explains that he was underground last night cleaning his burrow in which he said that a rabbit thought of a loud stampede last night and thought that a rock fell out of the sky. Marina found out that the rocks falling out of the sky are meteorites - pieces of disintegrated planets as she explains that not everything from space is from Mars. She then also explains that meteorites are very small, not as large as planets as most meteorites disintegrate before landing. Arriving to the spot with many rocks, the trio decides to find rocks with different textures, colours, and shapes similar to the ones the trio knew around in the park. Zeek then finds a strange rock in one of the areas, in which his feet started feeling out after touching it. Fishtronaut uses the WhatZit Scanner and a voice says "Meteorite", in which the trio finally found the meteorite on the ground. Marina thought of showing the meteorite to her grandfather and Zeek suddenly hears hooting underground, which frightened him.

Marina found out that a meteorite fell on an animal's burrow; Fishtronaut was able to remove the meteorite with his crane gadget. Inside the burrow, a burrowing owl was trapped inside the burrow. Zeek and Fishtronaut rescue her from the inside of the burrow as the owl explains to them that she uses other burrows that other animals don't want anymore. The burrowing owl explains that the burrow that she lived on is safe and cozy and a flash of light lit up the burrow and heard a loud rumble (not a true explosion), which trapped the owl inside. The owl is very happy that the trio saved her trapped underground. Marina then tells Zeek to remove the hat he is wearing, in which Fishtronaut found out that martians do not exist in the park, so Zeek decides to remove the hat he and Cuddles are wearing. Back at the Beanstalk Care Center, Dr. Green is excited that the meteorite would be a great hit in the park. Suddenly, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** a new home for Cuddles the Hamster

Receiving the reward, Fishtronaut starts thinking that this reward reminds him of Cuddles, who ends up playing with this new home as Zeek started feeling sleepy after learning that hamsters are mostly active at night.
