In Heartland City, Yuma, Kai and Tori were jogging through a construction site.

Tori: This is a dangerous shortcut!

Yuma: If we go around, we'll miss the previews, Tori!

Cologne: He's dragging us through a construction site for previews?

Kai: Must be some good previews.

Yuma: I don't even care about the movie. But they're gonna have the trailer for the next "Lunar Battalion" sequel, I've gotta see it!

Astral: Why is she nervous? What exactly happens at this place known as a construction site?

Yuma: Construction happens, what else. They're building some kinda giant new mall. It's gonna be the biggest in the world, I heard.

Tori: C'mon Yuma, I don't like this.

Yuma: It's totally safe.

However, two steel beams suddenly start falling and we're about to crash onto Tori. Seeing this, Yuma went to save her.

Yuma: Tori!

Thankfully, an excavator appeared and knocked away the steel beams. But soon, the excavator starts chasing them.

Tori: Is this your idea of totally safe?

Kai: Just keep running! Yuma noticed their path was blocked.

Yuma: Jump!

The jump over a beam which thankfully managed to stop the exacavator.

Yuma: You okay, Tori?

Tori: I'm good.

Kai: I'm fine too!

Yuma: What was that all about? Wha... Yuma looks up and sees no one in the drivers seat. No one's driving.

Cody: You numbskulls aren't wearing helmets! Suddenly, a short young man comes out. Don't you guys know that construction sites are dangerous places? He then falls out. Sorry for almost turning you into pancakes. I saw the beams falling and went to hit them out of the way and then accidentally put the excavator into gear and then I couldn't reach the dumb brakes to stop it.

Yuma: How does a kindergartener even get onto a construction site and accidentally do anything?

Cody: A what? A kindergartner? I'll have you know that Cody Callus is in middle school. I'm just vertically challenged.

Cologne: Ya mean short?

Yuma: Oh! We're in middle school too, cody!

Tori: I'm Tori, and these are my friends  Yuma and Kai. Thank you for trying to save us. That was so brave! Hearing Tori's praises made Cody blush.

Kai: You okay, Cody?

Cody: Uh, what's everyone lookin' at?

Cologne: He's got the hots for Tori? Oh, poor delusional Cody.

Yuma: What a huge truck! Yuma said seeing a dump truck pass by below them.

Cody: Oh that's Gracie, she can haul like three-hundred hogs!

Yuma: That's maybe the most amazing thing I've ever heard. All those pigs.

Cody: Not real hogs. My old man and his crew refer to tons as "hogs."

Tori: Your dad works construction?

Cody: Yeah, he's the foreman on this site.

Kai: No wonder you know so much about construction.
