SYNOPSIS
Kevin doesn't like to do chores...he thinks it's a drag. He's even less interested in the school rock hunt that's being planned for the weekend, but when he finds out he has to clean the yard on Saturday, Kevin forges his father's signature on the permission slip and joins the rest of the class on the field trip.

It comes as no surprise, then, that Kevin cannot understand why Fabian, an exchange student of royal blood, is so eager to pitch in and do his share. He tells Kevin that everyone has responsibilities, and if you run away from them, they will catch up to you eventually.

When Kevin discovers that his dad will be looking for him, he runs away, followed by Fabian. As they wander through the woods, tired and hungry, they happen upon a honey tree. Kevin starts to take a bite, but out of the trees comes a bear! It's his tree and he'll do anything he must in order to protect it.

With Kevin up a tree and Fabian's foot trapped in some rock, the bear approaches them, but luckily Isis happens upon the scene and makes a magical ring of fire appear around the bear. After frightening the beast, Isis commands the flames to die down and the bear retreats deeper into the woods.

Later, back at the camp site, Kevin meets up with his father. After promising to work double-time to catch up the yard work on Sunday, Kevin and his father join the rest of the gang as they finish their expedition.
