Hummus hopped into the passenger seat and baby the Gator set in the back in a monster truck car seat that also magically appeared and Crusher revved his engine and they were off the backyard suddenly transformed into a massive monster truck rally this was in their imaginations of course I should just clarify that the grass became muddy tracks and the bushes turned into towering obstacles and Froggy steered Crusher tighter on the corners over ramps through mud pits the tires kicking up dirt everywhere they went and Crusher roared as they sped through the course faster higher he said let's show them what we're made of Froggy laughed as he hit the accelerator sending them flying over a ramp mr. Hummus held tight his eyes wide with excitement this is amazing he shouted over the noise of the engine but as they rounded the final turn something unexpected happened the ground beneath him started to shake and the bushes in front of them parted to reveal a giant mud pit bigger and deeper than anything they'd ever seen oh no Froggy said gripping onto the steering wheel what do we do now and Crusher just growled don't worry kids I've got this with a loud roar he charged Ford his tire spun as he plowed through the mud the pit was deep and for a moment it seemed like they might get stuck the sticky brown mud clung to the tires causing Crusher to slow down until he almost stopped Froggy gripped the steering wheel as tight as he could his heart pounding as Crusher struggled to push forward this is tougher than I thought Froggy exclaimed glancing over at mr. Hummus who was holding on to the side of his seat mr. Hummus just nodded come on Crusher you got this just then baby the gator not to be left out let out an emphatic bobble bobble as if cheering Crusher on with all his might baby the gators enthusiasm and encouragement seemed to be just what Crusher needed because he revved his engine even louder his tires dug deeper into the mud churning and grinding as the truck fought to get traction for a moment it felt like they were stuck for good but Crusher was not gonna give up hang on kids he roared and with a sudden burst of power he lurched Ford spraying mud everywhere all the way over to froggy's house as he pushed through the thickest part of the pit with one final push Crusher surged forward pulling them out of the mud and onto solid ground froggy mr. Hummus and baby the gator all cheered as they crossed the imaginary monster truck finish line covered in mud but smiling wide from ear to ear that was awesome mr. Hummus said high-fiving froggy a goo-goo baby the gator clapped his face beaming with joy and then Crusher's engine rumbled softly as he came to a stop you kids were great out there he said I knew you were up for the challenge thanks Crusher froggy said patting on the dashboard you're the best monster truck we've ever met the Crusher's headlights flickered as if he were smiling anytime kids anytime as the sun began to set froggy mr. Hummus and baby the gator climbed out of Crusher and wave goodbye the monster truck rolled back to his spot by the garage his engine quieting down as he settled in for a rest froggy turned to face his friends what a day huh guys I can't wait to see what adventure we find tomorrow me too mr. Hummus agreed who knows what we'll see it's all out there just waiting to be discovered gaga baby the gator added as they all headed back inside ready to tell mommy the gator and daddy the gator about how that nondescript monster truck by the garage suddenly came to life today and as they all walked away froggy turned back one more time to look at crusher crusher was his regular old dusty monster truck toy self again but froggy knew that in there somewhere crusher was still listening sorry we ignored you for so long old friend he said to crusher but I'm glad we got to play together today froggy began to walk away again and crusher's headlights flickered once more as if to say me to Too froggy, me too. The end.
