Quibbling Siblings / Wheezie's Hairball is the eighteenth episode of the first season of Dragon Tales. In this episode, the dragons, Emmy and Max, go on another adventure to Dragon Land.
At the beginning of the episode, the dragons are playing with their friend Cassie when they hear Wheezie coughing. They find out that she has a hairball that won't come out of her throat. Quetzal, the wise dragon, suggests that they need to find a Hairball Tree to help Wheezie. The dragons set out to find this tree but encounter a problem when they end up in the wrong place due to their bickering.
Meanwhile, back in the human world, Max and Emmy's cousin, Enrique, comes to visit. Max and Enrique start bickering, and the two siblings become annoyed with each other. Later, they both fall asleep and dream of Dragon Land, where they continue their bickering. When they finally realize they need to work together to solve their problem, they awaken and reconcile in the real world.
In Dragon Land, the dragons find a tree that they believe is the Hairball Tree. They try to get a fruit from the tree, but they are too high to reach. They initially argue about how to get it, but eventually work together to get the fruit. They give the fruit to Wheezie, and the hairball comes out of her throat.
The dragons are delighted to have saved one of their friends and return to tell Quetzal what they did. The wise dragon praises them and reminds them that working together is essential to overcome any challenges or obstacles. The message of the episode is that siblings and friends may bicker and argue, but it's essential to work together to resolve conflicts.
In addition to the primary storyline, there are several musical segments in the episode. The song "Wiggle Your Toes" is sung when the dragons are playing with Cassie at the beginning of the episode. Enrique sings "The Dragon's Song" in his dream of Dragon Land. Finally, the ending credits feature the song "We're the Dragon Tales" with clips of the various adventures Emmy and Max have had throughout the series.
