One day, the researchers of the Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute went on a field trip to the legendary Imaginary Zoo. They were there to conduct a study about the creatures' features. To get to the zoo, they had to ride a magic school bus.
Once they got there, they had to go on a scavenger hunt to get tickets into the zoo. They were thrilled and feeling stupendous to be there. The moment they stepped in, they heard really loud animal noises and smelled yucky poop. It was going to be an extraordinary trip.
The researchers consulted their zoo map to see which creatures were at the Imaginary Zoo.
First, they went to see the Earthcrawler exhibit. The Earthcrawler is known to eat monsters. The researchers thought it would be useful for their study. When they got there, they saw a very big cage with electric wires.
After they visited the Earthcrawler, they decided to head over to see the Hearty exhibit. Unlike the Earthcrawler, the Hearty was very kind and sweet. When they got to the Hearty exhibit, they saw a creature with a head shaped like a heart in a pastel exhibit. The ground was made of pink and purple tiles and was soft and silky. There was very sweet food like cookies and sweet candy for Hearty. The exhibit was all about Hearty, her features, and what she can do with her body.
The researchers also thought it would be cool to visit the Legendary Mythical Dragon. They wanted to learn more about its diet as they had heard about the Legendary Mythical Dragon's favorite food being meat. But first, the researchers needed a snack break!
They headed to the Imaginary Zoo concession stand. The concession stand served cotton candy, burgers and fries, and magic foods like "Surprising Pasta" and "Oddly Weird Tasting Food" that could change your hair color or make you turn into a doll. There was also a magic drink called "Anything You Want To Be" that changed your eye color every time you blinked.
The magic drink was the most expensive thing on the menu. It cost 700 dollars, but if you completed another scavenger hunt, you could get it for free. The magic food cost 50 tokens. They ate the Surprising Pasta and the Oddly Weird Tasting Food and it was weird!
After their snack, the researchers were walking past the Earthcrawler exhibit. They noticed that the big cage was empty, and the electric wires were gone! They hypothesized that the Earthcrawler had disabled the wires because it was very smart. Then, the researchers heard lots of screams. The Earthcrawler had gotten free!
Meanwhile, the Big Monkey started to use its fire powers to melt the cages and free all of the other creatures to try to defeat the Earthcrawler. While the creatures battled, the buildings in the zoo started to collapse! The researchers were feeling terrified, so they summoned their magic school bus to go back home. Everyone made it out safe, and no creatures were hurt when the zoo collapsed. They went back to one of the researcher's homes to collect all of the research they had found.
