All Together Now - An exciting day at the Dragon Land Carnival is less than fun for Max, who is feeling left out when it seems that Enrique and Emmy would rather spend time with each other than with him. Max follows Quetzal and Cassie's advice on finding activities that everyone can do together or asking for some alone time with Emmy, but Max continues to feel excluded. Finally, as Max is moping around waiting for Enrique and Emmy to return so that he can ride the giant twisty slide, Ord tells Max that he doesn't have to wait for them to have fun. Max decides to go on the slide all by himself, and before long, he is joined by the entire gang as they enjoy the twisty slide all together! Team Work - While searching for Giggle Flowers, Zak and Wheezie happen upon a Stinkydink Bug, who sprays them with his bad smelling vapor.

Speedy, repulsed by the lingering Stinkydink smell, attempts to escape it by walking away- unaware that the contaminated badges are on top of his shell. Zak and Wheezie try to catch up to Speedy, but their bickering wastes time and Speedy makes it across the river and into the Forest of Darkness. To get their badges back, the two must work together and make their badges shine in the dark so they can spot Speedy.

They finish just in time to watch the unicorns take off for their race! The Sorrow and the Party - Max's feelings are hurt when he's not invited to his school pal Brian's birthday party. Emmy tries to cheer him up by taking him on a trip to Dragon Land. But once there, he can't seem to get his mind off all the fun he must be missing.

In the meantime, why doesn't Max try to do things that make him happy. Though Max's feelings are still hurt, he slowly begins to cheer up as he enjoys his time with his friends.

His friends remind Zak that there are things he likes now that were new once upon a time. Zak takes a chance and tastes Ord's cheesy log. He doesn't like it very much. He tries a frozen banana, which he likes even less, and then a corn-cob-on-a-stick, which he loves! After thinking about it, he decides to give the new rides a shot, too. They start on a few of the tamer ones, and eventually Zak works his way up to... The Skipper! It's a blast, and everyone is overjoyed, especially Zak, who winds up liking The Skipper more than anyone.

On Thin Ice - It's Willie the Snow Seal's birthday, and there's going to be a big party with singing and a lot of yummy cake.

Zak and Wheezie are excited about the party, too, except for one thing-they don't know how to ice skate! Their friends are happy to help them learn. Although Wheezie is eager to get started, Zak isn't so sure. On their first attempt, they immediately fall on the ice. Emmy explains that they need to lace their skates tighter so their feet aren't so wobbly. Much better! But after a few steps, down they go! The gang advises them to hold onto the branches at first and then try holding their arms out to the side to help keep their balance. Emmy shows them the best way to fall - a very important safety tip.

The gang must find items that match these shapes in order for Kristel to allow them to enter. They split up and each group discovers that many shapes are similar to the ones they must find; for example, squares are a lot like rectangles and circles are close to ovals. Everyone learns not to jump to conclusions about the shape of objects until they've been studied carefully. Eventually they discover items that match Kristel's shapes, and at last she allows them to enter. Inside, Zak happily cleans his dragondisk until it sparkles like new!

Hide and Can't Seek - It's Doodle Fair Hide and Seek Day in Dragon Land, but Ord, who has a hard time with the game, isn't very excited. Ord doesn't hide because he's too busy watching everyone else, and once he's tagged, he has hardly begun to seek before everyone else is found. Slowly, Ord learns "seeking strategies." Emmy looks behind bushes, but takes a berry from each bush to remember which ones she's searched before. Emmy also explains to Ord that it's a good idea to look carefully in each spot but not keep looking in the same spot once you're sure no one is there. Cassie coaches Ord to search only in places that are big enough to accommodate a person (or a dragon). Ord eventually uses all the skills he's learned and finds a hiding Max. It's time to break for snacks, but - surprise! - Ord is so excited about his new skills that he wants to keep playing! The Art of Patience - It's Quetzal's birthday (a special day indeed), and the gang is patiently getting ready for his party. But Max can't stand it! He is ready to get the celebration started and is having trouble waiting. The gang explains that the color clay sculptures ( made especially for Quetzal) need time to dry and harden in the " color clay contraption." To impatient Max, this seems to be taking forever, so, he decides to open the lid only to discover that he has melted all the sculptures. Max feels terrible for ruining his friends' hard work, and offers to help them make new ones. First they have to get the clay, a process that takes time and requires more patience than Max can currently muster. But with the help of his friends, Max learns some fun tricks, like singing, that help him pass the time, and pretty soon he realizes that waiting isn't so hard, after all.

Rise and Bloom/Dragon Scouts (#324) Duration: 28:46 CC Stereo DVI TVY

Rise and Bloom - Max really wants to see the Bursting Blossoms bloom in Dragon Land - a spectacular, once-a-year event. This special event only happens at sunrise, and Max just can't seem to shake off his sleepiness and get himself going. Luckily, Max's friends have some strategies to help him feel more awake. When they finally arrive (fully awake) on Blossom Ridge, just in time for the sunrise, they aresurprised to find that the Bursting Blossoms need some help waking up. Max springs to action using his recently learned techniques to help the flowers shake off their sleepiness, and everyone celebrates as the amazing blossoms burst with color and shower sparkly pollen all around them. Dragon Scouts - Emmy is excited to go to Cassie's Dragon Scouts meeting. But when Cassie has to leave unexpectedly, Emmy's not sure how to make friends with the other Scouts, who are helping an old dragon woman take care of her garden and twinkle berry trees. Emmy tries being friendly and does her work close by. The Scouts talk to her, but they don't invite her to join them. Emmy tries a special berry-picking trick to attract attention, and the Scouts are impressed until the trick backfires, covering everyone with twinkleberries. Emmy is embarrassed, but is encouraged when one scout finds the incident funny. The next task is bringing water buckets to water thirsty flowers, but the buckets are so heavy that the Scouts can't carry them. Emmy suggests teamwork - one Scout holds the bucket and one Scout fills it until it's just the right weight. When Cassie returns, Emmy is happily working side by side with the Scouts, who invite her to visit them again soon.

The group travels down to the twins' cave where they find Zak and Wheezie hiding - mortified that they are shedding their beautiful scales! After several failed attempts to cover their bare spots, the twins decide to cancel the show. Everyone goes to tell the princess, but Enrique stays back with Zak and Wheezie.

Something's Missing - When Emmy goes off to camp for a week, Max goes to Dragon Land alone, afraid he won't have any fun without Emmy. To help Max enjoy himself more, Cassie suggests that they do some of the things Emmy is having fun doing at camp: swimming, taking nature hikes and sitting around a campfire. But Max still misses Emmy, and wishes she could see all the great things they're doing in Dragon land. Oh, but she can! Max comes up with a plan to take pictures of their nature hike, and send them to his sister. It makes Max feel much, much better, knowing that he can share his fun time with her. And he can't wait to get home to see if Emmy sent him a letter from camp telling about all the fun she is having, too!

Zak takes a chance and tastes Ord's cheesy log. He doesn't like it very much. He tries a frozen banana, which he likes even less, and then a corn-cob-on-a-stick, which he loves! After thinking about it, he decides to give the new rides a shot, too. They start on a few of the tamer ones, and eventually Zak works his way up to . . . The Skipper!
