The Merry Lives of Pepper Ann is the fifth episode of Season 5 of Pepper Ann and the ninety-eighth segment overall. It originally aired on November 5, 2000.
Summary[]
Pepper Ann stumbles across a Renaissance Fair and finds she really likes the atmosphere there. She starts going every day as her invented character, Lady Gwynne, and enjoys the escape from reality it affords.
However, as the character grows and she begins to make friends at the Fair, her life in the real world begins to suffer.
Meanwhile, Nicky and Milo try to play a game of Anti-Trust with Crash, but the experience ends up taking far longer than expected.

Milo: Are you mad, boy?! Nicky: That's preposterous! No one has ever finished a game of Anti-Trust! |
