(In the Munce Home-Cave, the Munce are in an uproar and fighting each other.)

Munce #1: Not good! Not good idea at all!

Munce #2: Is bad idea!

Munce #3: Truce meeting with Geckles is trap! Tricky Geckle trap!

Jay: Guys, it's not a trap! The Geckles aren't your enemies!

Lloyd: The Skull Sorcerer is your enemy, and the only chance we have to defeat them is to work together!

Coral: What do you say? (The Munce look at each other before they continue fighting.)

Nya: It's no use, they're not listening.

Murtessa: (She walks up to Nya.) You must make them listen.

Nya: Oh, it's you.

Jay: Nya. Be nice.

Nya: She attacked me with a giant spiked club, Jay. Remember?

Jay: Yeah, but if you hold every little thing against a person, you won't make any friends at all.

Nya: (Sighs.) Make them listen how?

Murtessa: Munce are proud. Strong. They respect only power.

Nya(She sees some water leaking from the celing.) Hmm. (She uses that water to get their attention.) Alright, you Munce. Listen up! We are going to that truce meeting, and there will be peace! If I have to fight every last one of you! Is that clear?! (The Munce agree.) Good! Now, let's get this show on the road.

(Meanwhile, in the Geckle Strong-Cave, the Geckles are arguing as well.)

Groko: This meeting is a trap! A treacherous Munce ambush!

Garpo: Hear, hear!

Ginkle: I propose we ambush them! (The Geckles continue arguing.) 

Kai: (Not-having-it tone.) Order! Order in the court!

Zane: I do not believe they're listening.

Izzy: We have to get their attention if this truce will work.

Kai: Ugh! (He uses fire to get the Geckles' attention. The Geckles quit arguing immediately.) Thank you. Now, I propose that we trust the new Munce Queen, whoever she is, and go to the truce meeting.

Zane: (He and Izzy throw pebbles at Kai's head.) Hear, hear! (Kai frowns at them.) We are attempting to follow Geckle Parliamentary procedures.

Groko: What if you're wrong?

Ginkle: Yeah, how do you know?

Gulch: We could settle the matter by slug.

Izzy: By what now? 

Kai: How do you settle a matter by slug?

("Slug" turns out to be a slug race.)

Gulch: On your mark, get set... slow! (The slugs start racing.) 

Geckle: Oh, Brown! You can do it!

Garpo: Go go go! Brown for the win!

Zane: What is the purpose of this?

Gulch: It's simple. If the gray slug wins, you're right, and the Munce can be trusted. If the brown slug wins, you're wrong, and the Munce cannot be trusted. Only the slugs know.
