Digging Up the Road

Summary:

After stopping by Skip on a trip to the playground, Kiwi Tiki Wiki and her friends decide to make a construction site of their own at the sandbox. (#SLFW25)

Notes:

Inspired by the Peppa Pig episode of the same name from season 3, though I made it better, with Kiwi not crying like George did four times in the original episode, and having them spend a little longer at the park by adding a SpongeBob time card. I gotta say, it turned out better! Thanks to my friend on Discord/Twitter for the help on this episode!

Enjoy this fun Lalaloopsy construction adventure I put together!

Work Text:

"It is a lovely sunny day. Mango, Kiwi, Chloe, and Laura are driving to the playground," I narrated as the four respective characters all got into Laura's go kart. "Is everybody ready?" Laura asked. "Yes, Laura!" Mango Tiki Wiki, Kiwi Tiki Wiki, and Chloe answered. "Then let's go!" Laura said after she started driving her go kart away from Mango's island home. And just like that, they were all on the road. "We're going to the playground, we're going to the playground!" Mango said as she giggled, as Kiwi had her toy truck she was gonna be using. "Mango and Kiwi love going to the playground," I narrated as Mango and Kiwi both giggled together. Suddenly, the kart stopped at a line of other Papa Louie go karts waiting for their turn.

"Why have we stopped?" Mango asked. "It's a traffic jam!" Laura answered. "But we need to get to the playground!" Mango said. "We are in a traffic jam right now?" Kiwi asked. "We were, but don't worry, Kiwi, the traffic is moving again," Laura said as the traffic started moving again. "Stop!" Skip, the construction worker, said out loud as the yellow traffic light turned red. "Skip has stopped the traffic," I narrated. "What's the problem, Skip?" Chloe asked. "We're digging up the road!" Skip answered. "There's water coming out of the ground!" Mango said, as water was shown coming out of the ground from really high up like a thin geyser. "Yes! That's what we're here to fix!" Skip said. "Ooh!" Mango and Kiwi said as they saw the water leak. "Is it going to take long?" Chloe asked. "It will take as long as it takes!" Skip answered.

Blossom Flowerpot was shown driving a digging truck to that area of the road. "Digger! Digger!" Kiwi said as she watched Blossom approach the scene. "Kiwi likes diggers," I narrated. "This way, Blossom!" Skip said out loud. "Okay, boss!" Blossom said. "Skip is the boss," I narrated, as Skip was showing Blossom the way. "Skip, where's all that water coming from?" Mango asked. "It's coming from a broken water pipe underground!" Skip answered. "How are you going to fix it?" Mango asked. "We dig up the road!" Skip answered, as Blossom went ahead and started digging up the road, revealing a rusty water pipe with a hole underneath. "Wow!" Mango and Kiwi said as they watched. "We turn the water off!" Skip said as she turned the water off, and Ace Fender Bender arrived, holding a new, shiny silver pipe with his crane. "Kiwi loves cranes," I narrated as Kiwi was shown giggling. "Crane! Crane!" Kiwi said as she watched. "We take the old pipe out, and put the new one in!" Skip said as he lifted the old pipe out, and Ace lowered the new pipe in.

"Thank you for showing your work, Skip!" Chloe said. "No problem!" Skip said. The traffic light turned green, and they were ready to go on. "Bye! See you later!" Skip said as the kart started driving again. "Alright, the construction is done! I think watching how it's done helped! But I am going to miss Skip," Kiwi said. "Kiwi doesn't want to leave Skip," I narrated. "We're going to the playground, little sis!" Mango told Kiwi. "You can play Diggers and Cranes in the sandbox!" Chloe added. "And we'll see Skip again on our way home!" Laura added. Kiwi giggled, knowing how much fun she was gonna have in the playground now that all of that was known. And now that the road's been dug up and the pipe's been replaced, they have all arrived at the playground.

"Mango, Kiwi, and their friends have arrived at the playground," I narrated as they all got out of their go kart and went to the playground. Mango saw Cinder Slippers, Pillow Featherbed, and Peanut Big Top all spinning around on the merry go round. "Hello, everyone!" Mango said. "Hello, Mango!" Cinder, Pillow, and Peanut all said together. "Squirt Lil Top and Ribbon Slippers are playing in the sandbox," I narrated as Squirt was shown with a filling truck toy, and Ribbon was shown with a crane toy as they both giggled. Kiwi saw Squirt and Ribbon playing with their toys, and wanted to join in. "Let's play in the sandbox!" Peanut said as she watched what was going on. "Okay!" Cinder and Pillow said, as they all ran on over to the sandbox. This would end up playing just like a familiar scenario from earlier this episode.

"Stop!" Mango said as the line approached. "What's the problem?" Peanut asked. "We're digging up the road, and I'm the boss!" Mango answered. "Oh!" the three in line all said, as Kiwi was shown playing with her digger toy and giggling. "Is it going to take long?" Pillow asked. "It will take as long as it will take! We have to make a hole!" Mango answered, as Kiwi was shown digging up a hole. "Vroom! Vroom!" Kiwi said as she dug up the hole. "We fill it in, and the road is mended!" Mango said, as the sequence of that was shown. "Hooray!" the Lalaloopsies all said together, as they all giggled and jumped around in the sandbox. "One hour later," the French narrator from SpongeBob said, as the time card appeared. After a while of having fun, it was starting to get late, so it was time for them to head on back home.

"Mango, Kiwi, it's time to go home!" Chloe said. "Aw," Mango said. "It sure was fun, but I wish I could've stayed longer!" Kiwi added. "Oh dear, Kiwi doesn't want to go home yet," I narrated. "On the way home, Kiwi, we can see Skip digging up the road," Laura told Kiwi, which got her all interested as she giggled and headed back to the go kart. "Bye, everyone!" Mango said as she made her way back to the kart. "Bye, Mango!" the five Lalaloopsies all said. Mango and Kiwi made their way back to Laura's go kart, as she started driving them back home. "Mango and Kiwi are looking forward to seeing Skip again," I narrated as Mango and Kiwi were shown both giggling on the way back. "Digger! Crane! Vroom!" Kiwi said as she giggled while showing off her toy truck.

"Here we are!" Laura said as she stopped at the road, only to see that Skip was not here, because he and his construction team already fixed up the road earlier. "Skip is not here," I narrated. "Skip must've finished and gone home," Laura told Kiwi. "Aw, Skip's done with his work for the day!" Kiwi said. But it looks like it wasn't the end of his work for the day after all, as the construction crew came right back, and Mango and Kiwi giggled as they watched. "Stop!" Skip said as he set down a red traffic light. "Is the water pipe broken again?" Mango asked. "No, Mango! This time, it's faulty electrical cables!" Skip answered. "How do you mend a clackity cables?" Mango asked. "We dig up the road!" Skip answered. "Hooray!" Mango and Kiwi both said, as the crew got to digging up the road again. "Mango and Kiwi love it when Skip digs up the road! Everyone loves it when Skip digs up the road!" I narrated, as the camera zoomed out to show a bunch of other go karts having stopped to watch, as the episode ends right here.
