Zzzzz is the 25th episode of the first series of Alphablocks.
Synopsis[]
Z wants to march but needs a nap, and soon he's doing both at the same time.
Story[]
Z marches past N, A, and P, fast asleep. He shouts to them, "Alphablocks! Atten-shun (Attention)!" Eventually, they wake up...
n-a-p, NAP!
...and begin to nap again. Then Z falls asleep and ends up in his dream. He holds hands with digraph OO...
z-oo, ZOO!
...and a zoo appears. M joins in with them.
z-oo-m, ZOOM!
A race track appears and they start zooming. B plays bass on a cloud. OO and M bump into her.
b-oo-m, BOOM!
Fireworks start flying and booming over the zoo and the race track, and the dream ends. Z tells himself to stop sleeping. He marches again and takes a nap.
Another dream shows two Z's, who stick together. F and I join in.
f-i-zz, FIZZ!
Fizz bubbles appear. B, U, and G ride a bug. G jumps off while B and U hold hands with ZZ.
b-u-zz, BUZZ!
Disguised as bees, they buzz around. The dream stops when an alarm clock appears and beeps in Z's. Z marches again, but this time, N gives up. Z joins in with A and P and takes a nap with them.
z-a-p, ZAP!
They sound it out in their sleep, but lightning wakes them up. I joins in, too.
z-i-p, ZIP!
A zipper appears. S, N, OO, and Silent E come out and hold hands with Z.
s-n-oo-z-(e), SNOOZE!
They start to snooze and the episode eventually ends.
