Peso: A-and you're sure that you're certified to fly this thing?

Ryla: More or less. I've done it  *mumbles*1..2..3..4..5..6..7-

Ryla: I've done it once :D

Peso: *gulps*

Barnacles: Alright octonauts, keep a good look out towards the scenery and see if there's anything out of the ordinary.

Tweak: Aye, aye cap. Kwaz, you got the food?

Kwazii: All here matey.

Barnacles: Then let's go!

Dashi: Hang on, where's Shellington?

*Hiding behind a bush*

Shellington: NO I DON'T WANT TOOO! WE'LL CRASH!

Kwazii: Come one, you've ridden the Octo-ray countless times! You shouldn't be scared now?

Shellington: You've seen spiders countless times, You shouldn't be scared now?

Shellington: Sound familiar you hypocrite?!

Kwazii: .....

Tweak: Shellington, this is the only way back to the octopod. Unless you want to walk back, I suggest you get in like the rest of us.

Shellington: I'll walk

Tweak: UGH!

*Dashi gets out of the balloon*

Dashi: It's gonna be fine Shellington. You trust Ryla don't you?

Ryla: 👁️👄👁️

Shellington:  . . . .

Shellington: Not particularly. No.

Dashi: If you get in the balloon I promise you . . . . I'll let you lecture me on the importance of sea-urchins? <:)

Shellington: Okay fine

Barnacles: Perfect! It won't be long! 

*Ryla fires it up*

Ryla: Alright mates let's blow up this balloon!!

*after the balloon blows up, it lifts off the ground after dropping the weights*

Shellington: *dying inside as they float over the bright green hills*

Dashi: The view from up here is incredible!! I need to take a picture!!

*drops camera*

Dashi: 😳

Dashi: Maaaybeee I'll stay away from the edge ;/

Kwazii: THIS IS WICKED!!

Ryla: Alright so I don't want to alarm you all but the first time I flew a balloon, I had to make a crash landing. 

Everyone:  . . . 

Ryla: B-But I've become better now! Remember? Always have a backup plan?

Shellington: YOU'VE ONLY FLOWN ONCE, RYLA!

Ryla: Yeah, but crash landings are perfectly normal!

Shellington: I don't feel so good. XS

Tweak: Guys, it's simple logic. Warm air rises in cooler air. So when Ryla blows hot air into the balloon, it floats. The highest chance of crashing would be because there's a hole in the balloon.

Peso: There's a hole in the balloon.

Everyone: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Ryla: CRIKEY, EVERYONE CALM DOWN, YOU'RE OVERREACTING!

Ryla: I'll just climb up and patch the hole. Easy peasy.

*climbs up the balloon*

Ryla: Wait....SOMEONE KEEP HEATING THE AIR!!

Barnacles: *pulls hot air*

Tunip: *Faints*

Kwazii: MATEYS WERE FALLING!

Ryla: I CAN'T REACH THE HOLE!!

*crash lands*

everyone: *moaning*

Dashi: Is everyone alright?

Shellington: Why does no one listen to me?
