After the exciting adventure, everyone went home. Sofia and her big brother James remained with Hugo and his family.

"I hope the gardener got the weeds pulled," Axel noted.

"As long as Hugo has that magical weeding dust, the garden will be weed free in no time, Axel," Garrick smiled.

"And I'm looking forward to planting this Tickle Tree in the garden," Hugo beamed.

Everyone started laughing, thinking about the fun they would have in a Tickle Tree. But once they got to Albuquerque Palace, they saw that something was wrong.

"Oh, my gosh! What happened?" Hugo gasped.

The group saw that there was no grass in the garden. There were so many bare patches. They landed their flying horses. Axel was relieved that there were no weeds, but he was shocked that there was no grass.

"What happened to the grass?" Garrick asked.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but my new weed spray not only killed the weeds—it must've also killed the grass," the royal gardener declared.

"Oh, that's okay, but it's going to take a long time to grow back the grass," Garrick noted.

"If only Miss Nettle had something that would make the grass grow faster," Hugo frowned.

"Well, we'll go back to see Miss Nettle when we have the chance, Hugo," Garrick assured his youngest son. "But I can't let you plant your tree until then."

"Okay, Dad," Hugo nodded.
