Raven Explorer is in the school playground. Feeling warmth in her pocket, she knows something brilliant is going to happen. She pulls out the Diamond Keys and hears a voice, inviting her to Universe City.
She enters a spinning tunnel and eventually tumbles out into a stream where she meets Mighty Maggot again. He advises her she is now officially a student of Universe City and she has landed in the Stream of Learning.
Mighty Maggot informs Raven Explorer they will start with her Mind Scroll, which will reveal her next Life Lesson. Her Lesson is - 'Balance. Everything in Temperance.'
Mighty Maggot is in a hurry to get to her first lesson at Universe City and floats off down The Stream. They arrive at Universe City and see a huge pyramid with the letters 'L.O.L' on its wall. L.O.L isn't what Raven Explorer thinks.
Mighty Maggot goes ahead into the pyramid and Raven Explorer navigates through the tunnels on her own eventually arriving at a huge rock which slides open (with some magic words) to reveal a cave. Raven Explorer hears grunting and slobbering and a huge BURP!
It is the Dragon of Fears and Raven Explorer is tasked with showing it who is boss. The Dragon is sitting on a see-saw guzzling a mountain of 'goodies'. There is healthy food on the other side of the 'See-saw Of Symmetry'.
The See-saw is out of balance and Raven Explorer has to balance it. Mighty Maggot advises her the only way to do this is to wrestle The Dragon in a Food Fight! A chaotic Food Fight ensues and involves Mighty Maggot and his boxing gloves. Food flies everywhere as they tussle with The Dragon and eventually, it begins to shrink and scuttles away. The See-saw balances.
Raven Explorer thinks she is finished, but the Mind Scroll still doesn't have a tick next to it. A Red Diamond appears and the words 'GIVING' and 'RECEIVING' waft from it towards The See-saw. Raven Explorer sees she has an imbalance of thoughts about 'RECEIVING'. She struggles to come up with any 'GIVING' thoughts, then has a 'light bulb moment' and announces a big list, which balances The See-saw.
Mighty Maggot explains what 'temperance' means and that Raven Explorer can still have her goodies!
The Life Lesson is now ticked on The Scroll. She touches the Red Diamond and WHOOSH, finds herself back in the school playground on a see-saw.
Still wearing Mighty Maggot's glasses she hears his voice, with the tantalising message to keep them as she will need them next time.
