Ever since Ripslinger kidnapped Dusty Crophopper two months ago, the poor guy's been having really bad nightmares about what would've happened had not Slipper Riley and El Chupacabra come to save him. At first, he tells no one, but when two to seven weeklong nights of no sleep start to have an effect on his training, it's up to Skipper to comfort the scared boy and let him know that as long as he's around, nothing's going to come between them. But can Skipper do it before it's too late? Or will Dusty live his life in constant fear?
