The Case of the Quaking Park

**The Case of the Quaking Park** is the tenth episode of Season 1 of Fishtronaut and the tenth episode of the series.

## Summary

One nice day at the beach, Marina watches Zeek surfing and jumps and hits a seagull who lost some of his feathers. He tells Fishtronaut that if he saw him jump and Fishtronaut saw his great move, but the seagull isn't happy when some of his feathers are lost and Zeek apologises by saying "Next time, I'll look before I leap". Suddenly, the ground began shaking and Fishtronaut and Zeek encounter a big wave and then help the seagull out of his way. While surfing on the wave, it crashes into Marina whose sand castle she was building is ruined. Fishtronaut thought it wasn't the wind that caused the waves and Marina says everything was shaking before the wave came.

**P.O.P. Clues:** two sticks and a pair of fuzzy headphones

Receiving the clues, Zeek thought the sticks are a pair of drumsticks or chopsticks. Fishtronaut explains that chopsticks originated in China, in which giant pandas are native there and he also explains that the earmuffs are fuzzy as a panda's fur. The gang meets a panda who is having a shower near a geyser that occurred after the shaking that occurred a while ago. The panda doesn't know what a geyser is, so Marina explains to her that geysers occur when water spurts out from the surface. Fishtronaut explains that there was a some shaking, and a big wave earlier, and then a geyser that recently occurred.

Upon going to the beanstalk, the gang meets Dr. Green and ask him if he felt the shaking. He says he did feel the shaking and a geyser appeared. Dr. Green explains to them that geysers and big waves (like the one Zeek saw) can be caused by earthquakes, which is odd as the park isn't in an earthquake zone. Fishtronaut is surprised that something is causing the park to shake. Dr. Green brings the gang to his seismograph machine that can help track earthquakes. The shaking the gang felt wasn't an earthquake, so the gang decides to find out what caused the park to shake. The shaking started at Elephant's Corner, as explained by Dr. Green and the seismic waves are coming from there. Dr. Green tells them that the waves point to the geyser and Marina tells them that the waves also point to the sea.

Meanwhile, at Elephant's Corner, the gang sees a stampede of startled elephants in which Fishtronaut tells them to stop and tell them what's going on, but an elephant says that he can't talk to him now and to clear their way. Zeek tells them if there's a mouse convention, but before they can answer, they continued stampeding. One of the elephants says that something strange is making a loud noise by banging and the elephants must run away. Meanwhile, the gang is bothered by a loud noise from a distance and Fishtronaut decides to track the noise with his Noise-o-Meter. Zeek is worried by knowing where the noise is coming from and Fishtronaut says that he'll explain when he gets closer to the sound. Before they could continue, the Noise-o-Meter is broken while Marina tells them the noise is around the corner.

Meanwhile, Billy and Mac were playing loud rock music and Zeek found out that the one making a loud noise wasn't an animal, but it was the twins. Fishtronaut found out that the drumsticks and headphones were based on the clues they received. Fishtronaut and Marina walk up to Billy and Mac and tell them to stop the music and the music is too loud for the elephants which scared them and caused them to stampede and broke Fishtronaut's Noise-o-Meter. Marina explains that they should keep the noise level down, but Billy explains that he and Mac need to practice their music and the music won't get better if they don't practice. Before they can continue, Fishtronaut is running out of bubbles Fishtronaut uses his Communicator and talks to Rosy Barb to meet her at his lab.

After refilling his bubbles, he asks Rosy to help him by singing, but Rosy is out of practice. She also agrees to sing a scale that is out of tune, so Fishtronaut puts her in a bubble so that the noise won't be loud. Fishtronaut tells Billy and Mac to practice again, as he puts them inside a bubble so the music won't be loud and the animals won't be startled. After solving the case, another P.O.P. arrives

**P.O.P. Rewards:** two seashells

Receiving the rewards, the gang uses the two seashells to hear the sound of the ocean. Billy and Mac stopped playing rock music and used the seashells to listen to the sound of the ocean.
