Crusty's Reunion



This is the 31st episode of the series.

A storm has knocked over a tree and Dink thinks that it will make a good waterslide. Crusty is annoyed by the noise that the children are making. He scolds Dink for nearly killing his water-lilly. Crusty says that he is thinking of an old friend of his, Buttercup. They used to have lots of fun together. However, they had had a falling out and she had moved away to Turtle Creek. The water-lilly was planted by them before she left and now this year may be the last year that it blooms.

Crusty is depressed and hasn't come out of his cave for days. Flapper says that the only thing that will cheer him up is if he can see Buttercup again. The dinosaurs try and climb up a bunch of sticks but then water comes and washes them into a pond. An old turtle laughs at them, saying "Haven't you ever been down a waterslide before?" They kids ask her if she has seen Buttercup and state that Crusty is looking for her. She replies that she hasn't seen Crusty in years. She states that she is Buttercup.

Unlike Crusty, Buttercupt is really adventerous and a daredevil. After sliding down a mountain, Buttercup gets a longneck blocking their path out of the way by biting him in the tail. By the time she reaches Crusty, the kids are getting tired of Buttercup. The two have fun by narrowly being run over by a herd of running longnecks.
