Barry runs around the wheat field in horror. Someone trampled some of the wheat and left strange circles. Krash suggests that the wheat could have been trampled by an elephant that got lost in the field. He takes off in the air on a Pin’s hydroplane and takes photos of the field to find an elephant. Krash, Barry and Pin notice that the taken pictures make a drawing of Chiko. The hedgehog confesses that he made a drawing for those who live in the stars. He explains that he is so small, nobody can see him, and the drawing is big enough to be noticed. Barry is very indignant, but he is immediately kicked out.

Later, Krash meets Chiko, who is sitting next to his house looking at the stars. Krash suggests that maybe someone is really looking for them, but Chiko objects. Since they are so small, whoever might be looking at their planet will think that there is no one living there. Krash decides that this is unfair and asks Pin to bring out the small rocket from the hangar. Krash, Chiko, Pin, and Barry take a photo of themselves and put it in a rocket. It takes off into the air and puts a satellite with a photo into space.

Tropes:

  • Crop Circles: First half of the episode has Barry, Krash and Pin trying to find the culprit that did this to the former's wheat field. Krash quickly assumes it could have been the elephant, the switches to aliens. It turns out to be Chiko.
  • Gilligan Cut: After Krash and Pin finish taking pictures from the plane:
    Krash: I got 'em! Now let's land safely, my man!
    (cut to Krash and Pin with black eyes and bandages)
  • Recycled Animation: Aeroplane's takeoff uses the same animation as in "Flying in a Dream and in Reality". This time, however, the dock is tied to the shore much tighter, and does not stick to the plane.
  • Shout-Out: The beginning of the episode parodies Signs.
