Speaker 2 (1:35) Lucy Wow here, and I've been hard at work in my big red barn since we escaped that backwards mirror world last season. I've been tweaking gadgets, fixing Kapow's memory chip, brainstorming ways to make my hover skateboard even faster. You know the drill. But today, I got an urgent message from Bobby Wonder that Flugerville's gone taco crazy. He needs my help before this turns into a full-blown Taco Fiesta fiasco. It's a good thing I've got a knack for counter-inventions. Come on, Kapow. We're off to Grabstack's Cafe to help Bobby.

This is all Floozville's Mr. Schnute's fault for sending those Taco Tingle Taffy samples up here with Martha and Waffle. Huh. The Taco Tingle Taffy is delicious and nutritious. But I sell bananas. What am I supposed to do? Start selling banana tacos? That's ridiculous. Speaker 6 (3:44) Is it, though? Yes. Speaker 1 (3:47) What is that you're eating anyway? My brand new invention, a chrono taco. Speaker 6 (3:53) That Speaker 1 (3:55) isn't a brand new invention. You just stuffed a cronuffin into a taco shell.
