Because losing a loved one is hard. Ziggy isn't just a pet guinea pig. He's a rock star, a friend, and a part of Ezra's family. So when he dies, Ezra is more upset than Veronica has ever seen him. She can't just sit back and watch a friend suffer. Something must be done! Laughter is the best medicine, so tons of fun is just what the Fix-It Friends order.
