"Ord's Unhappy Birthday" - Challenge: Handling rejection

It's Ord's birthday, but he can't understand why no one will play with him. What he doesn't know is that his friends are avoiding him because they are setting up a big surprise party. Confused and sad because he can't find a way to get his friends to play, Ord consults Quetzal, who says he knows just the thing to make him feel better. He leads Ord back to the treehouse and encourages him to share his feelings with the others.

What I saw:

Max and Emmy help plan a surprise party for Ord with the help of Zak, Wheezie and Cassie. They avoid Ord's invitations to play, leaving him to think they don't want to play with him. Quetzal shows him otherwise.

Comments:

Oh boy, they sure treated him like wet latrine dirt. But they had to get him out of the way for a while so they don't ruin the surprize... Zak didn't like it when Wheezie crammed that pizza in their pouch... ewww. Ord really looks so depressed... if he had Cassie's shrinking special defense, he'd be as small as a dust speck.

Goofs/Missing Items:

Sid Sycamore changes moods way too fast. I don't know if that is a trait amongs elementals [Sid is an earth elemental]
