The film crew pad into a thick copse of trees - the camera is rolling, and is trained on Ravioli.

Ravioli: The conifers are a group of about 588 species of trees and shrubs that include many of the best-known plants in the world. All conifers bear seeds inside cones, woody protective structures.

A pair of yellow eyes are glowing, a dark shape blending into the trees behind her. Philip notices, and responds by this development by shoving his muzzle into the snow and eating it.

Ravioli: *ignoring it* Although the 588 species of conifers are not a very abundant group compared with the 250,000 species of flowering plants, the conifers are ecologically and economically one of the most important plant groups. A few species in the Pine family form the most extensive forest on Earth, the boreal forest, which covers thousands of miles across Russia, Canada, and Scandinavia. One species, the Siberian larch, is the most numerous and widespread of all trees-

Scallop: *eats the 19464729th chip* BOOOOOOOOOR-INGGGGGGGGG

Ravioli: *bristles* Well, how do you suggest I change it?!

Scallop: I don't care, so long as it doesn't put Sprinkles to sleep!

Sprinkles: *is napping*

Margaret: I hope everyone realises we are rolling...

Philip: *suddenly pulls his muzzle out of the ground and latches onto the camera lens*

Ravioli: Philip, no-

Black Cat: *pads out of the trees* Do y'all need any help?

Everyone looks at him. Except for Sprinkles, who rolls onto her back and snores.

Scallop: Who are you?

Black Cat: M'name's Spook. *shifts paws anxiously, uncomfortable with the attention* I- I'm kind of alone, and was hoping-

Ravioli: *throws herself at Spook's feet* YES JOIN US PLEASE I JUST NEED ONE NORMAL PERSON TO KEEP ME SANE

Spook: O-oh, great!

Scallop: *ignores Ravioli* You want to be helpful? Just make sure Philip doesn't eat the camera. Entertain him somehow.

Spook: Okay! *looks at Philip, then picks up a stick* Hey, big fluffy guy, you want the stick?

Philip: *looks at the stick - his pupils dilate* *crouches down low and sticks his butt in the air, tail wagging*

Spook: You do? You want the stick? *throws the stick* Go get the stick!

Philip: *runs after the stick, tongue lolling*

Margaret: *glances at Ravioli* We're keeping him.

Spook: *shrugs* Y'all'dn't've had the problem of you'd've just giv'n'im'is'lil'summat to entertain 'im.

Scallop and Ravioli exchange a glance, blink, then shrug.

Ravioli: Okay

Scallop: Sure

Margaret: Yes

Ravioli: Whatever the flip you just said

Spook: :D
