Pepper: The room was suddenly filled with a sudden burst of bright purple light blinding all of us for the first few moments. All aboard, who's coming aboard? The announcement rang over the speakers.

Pepper: Sammy decided to go on a journey. Although he loves the pretty flower garden in the town where he lived, he had always wanted to travel and see other things. He wanted to visit the mountains nearby that he had only heard about. Meeting with his other snail friend Anna, Sammy asked her if she would like to accompany him on his journey. Anna was a little unsure at first, because it was so far, especially for snails he moved so slow, but Sammy finally convinced her.
