Yoko

Vik remembers the day he met Oto, Mai and Yoko. It's the park opening, and, being shy, Vik is avoiding all the other kids. Oto and Mai invite him to play trains with them. At first, they're just three kids playing trains, but something strange starts to happen; all at once, the three kids find themselves inside a "real" train zooming through the park, and taking off into outer space. How can this be happening? They reach a planet where, finally, they meet Yoko, the magical author of their adventure but they believe that Yoko is an alien who wants to attack them; this hurts Yoko's feelings. In the end, they see that the furry giant only Wants to play with them. It's the start of a beautiful friendship.

When Mai loses her badminton racquet in the Lake, Ranger Loops tells the children the legend of the Monster of Lake Wawa. "Don't worry, it's just a story," she tells them. But Together with Yoko they go on an underwater quest in order to find out what the monster looks like. After several close calls, and some mysterious they finally find the monster, and discover it's not a monster at all - it's the "monster" that's been helping them on their journey. And in the end, they've made a great new (orange, many-armed) friend.

"Ranger Loops brings her niece, Patty, to spend the day in the park. The kids, of course, are excited to spend the day with her, but Patty doesn't seem so sure. And the harder they try to get Patty to play with them, the less sure she seems. They're determined, however, and with Yoko's magical help, they do their best to impress the new kid, only to find that Patty's not being difficult - she's simply shy, a feeling that Yoko can certainly understand."

Today the kids decide to pretend that they're camping. It all seems like fun at first, until Mai's very specific ideas about that begin to get in the way. Oto, Vik and specially Yoko seem unable to follow her "rules." Finally, after things seem to fall apart, Mai begins to see that when you're playing together, it's more fun if everyone has a say in how you play.

Mai works hard building a great sandcastle that she'd just like to protect it from getting wrecked. The boys think she's being a spoilsport; Oto and Vik just want to play something imaginative and fun. Thanks to Yoko's magic, Mai gets to have her castle all to herself - and it's life size. Very quickly, however, she begins to miss her friends. The only problem is, in their desperation to keep the castle safe, Yoko hasn't included a way in - or out. In the end, it'll take their combined imaginations to find a way out of Mai's castle.

Vik brings his brand new ball to the park. The friends are excited to play with it, but it's so beautiful that he doesn't want anyone touching it. Oto and Mai think that if they can just somehow get Vik to kick the ball with them, Vik will realize that he also wants to play. But Vik takes his friends' attempts as an attack on his ball, and he asks Yoko to help protect his shiny prize. Both sides start a game in which Yoko uses his magic to build sophisticate security systems, and Mai and Oto use their inventiveness and "super-spy Skills" to finally get Vik to let them play with his new ball.
