Plot
The gang travels by wagon to go on a picnic with their families. After the cart loses a wheel, the parents replace it, only to be left behind when the horse bolts with the wagon and the gang. Arriving in the woods, the gang run wild until their parents catch up with them. A storm interrupts the picnic, after which the horse bolts again, this time leaving everybody behind.

gollark: "Hmm, people are annoyed at getting up times they do not like. Maybe we should just tell them to wake up and sleep at different times. Or change working hours. No, the best solution is clearly to meddle with the fabric of time itself."
