Other dub names: History in the Faking (4Kids)
Carlin is writing a history of the island of KikoRiki, when Wally comes in looking for ski grease. He is outraged about Carlin's writing, because it says that he is afraid of skiing and now his descendants will remember him as a coward. Wally goes to Rosa and begins writing his own history in a fabulous style. Meanwhile, Krash and Chiko are building an ice pyramid with rock carvings. Languages change over time, but drawings are understandable to everyone.
Pin also records his story on a dictaphone. He talks about the Ice Age and dinosaurs. Dokko suggests Pin to write a story about himself, but he objects; if his recordings will be the only ones to be found in the future, then everyone will think Pin was the only one living in the past. Olga arrives to them, as she is also writing her own history. This terrifies Dokko, because everybody's writing a history in their own way, and those who'll have to sort out these notes in the future will go crazy. Olga reminds her friends that Barry is currently in hibernation, and will make for a good first reader. This idea occurs to all history writers, and they run to Barry. Krash and Chiko were first to the goal, having already dragged him out of the house and taking him to their pyramid on a sled. Seeing their friends run to them to get Barry, Krash realizes that their historical future is in danger and runs with Chiko to the lake. Other narrators pursue them, only to all be stopped by Carlin.
He offers to let someone be on duty every day and record everything that happens. Everybody accepts this idea, and the storytellers go to Olga's house to decide their schedule, leaving Barry on the lake. Barry wakes up and looks at all the fake history his friends wrote. He thinks that a catastrophe occurred while he was sleeping, and he is the last survivor. He then decides to calm down and write a new history.
Tropes:
- Continuity Cavalcade: The pyramid Krash and Chiko work on depicts various events from the past episodes, including them looking at the bench Krash built, building a snowman with Olga and Carlin, turning the lightbulb on, being chased by the Iron Nanny, pushing the bed with Rosa on it, traveling on the boat, sailing on the submarine, eventually finding a treasure, taking a bath, winning the race, Krash meeting Rosa with chopper teeth and taking pictures of Barry's wheat field from above.
- Mistaken for Apocalypse: Barry, suddenly woken up alone in the snow, is lead to think he is a Sole Survivor after The End of the World as We Know It.
- Shout-Out: Episode title, and the first lines of Barry's own history are the first lines of the Gospel of John.
