Ep 7. Let's Get Balloonar!/Tight Squeeze
- February 16, 2006
Jim and Skye search out the source of some mysterious large balloon-shaped orbs that seem to be rising from Bottomless Crevasse. Skye disobeys Jim's warning about getting too close to the edge of the crevasse, and they both slide to the bottom. The good news is that they've discovered the home of the elusive Lunar Balloon Flower. The bad news is that they're too deep to be reached, and there's no way to climb out. Eventually they're able to escape by riding out on two balloon flowers as they rise from the canyon floor.Yik Yak is enchanted by the sound of air escaping from tires - it reminds him of music back on his home planet. As the gang heads out to clear some meteorites from a Supply Cave opening, Yik Yak slows their departure by deflating one of the Hopper's tires so the escaping air can accompany his song of farewell. But when the Hopper gets stuck trying to go through a stone arch, it's Yik Yak's love of music that saves the day when he deflates the Hopper's tires, lowering it enough to let it pass under the arch.
