## Plot description

Lamput is at an ice cream stand, ordering and eating some ice cream, when the docs take notice of him from their car and go to catch him. Slim Doc is distracted by the ice cream stand, but Fat Doc drags him away to keep going after Lamput. Lamput hides in a tree, and Slim Doc searches inside but doesn't find him. Lamput tries to escape, but sees Fat Doc and quickly changes to look like long, flowing hair on Slim's head. Slim Doc kicks the tree in frustration, which catches Fat Doc's attention; Fat sees Slim, mistakes him for a woman because of the "hair", and immediately falls in love with him. The two stare at each other for a few seconds before Slim gets Fat to snap out of it, and the two wave at each other before Slim notices the ice cream vendor again. Fat Doc approaches his crush and asks if they can get some ice cream together, to which Slim gladly agrees; Slim Doc surprises Fat Doc by grabbing his hand and dragging him to where the ice cream seller is. Fat Doc asks for two cones of ice cream, one for him and one for Slim, and cracks a smile when Slim says he likes it.

Later, the two docs walk out in the field, with Slim still licking his ice cream as some birds sing in the background and a rainbow appears. Suddenly, Slim Doc sees an orange flower and walks off frustrated when he realizes it isn't Lamput in disguise. Slim throws the flower out of his way, and it lands in Fat Doc's hands. The docs then lie down in the field watching clouds; Slim Doc sees a cloud that looks like Lamput to him, but Fat Doc thinks it looks more like a heart shape, confusing Slim. After that, the duo watch a romantic movie about Romeo and Juliet, and when the characters in the movie hug, Fat stretches out his arm to wrap it around Slim Doc, who notices Fat's movements and stares at him for a couple of seconds before embracing his friend himself. Fat Doc blushes at this action.

Fat Doc goes to a jewelry store and tells Slim Doc to wait outside. While Fat Doc is inside, Lamput notices he has a chance to get away and does so; meanwhile, Fat Doc has ordered a ring so he can propose to his love, but he notices Fat Doc without his hair and looks around worryingly as the two go back to their car and drive home for the night. The following day, the docs drive over to the tree in the park to look for Fat Doc's crush, and after their search proves fruitless, an exhausted Slim Doc sits on a bench next to Lamput, who is reading a newspaper. The two notice each other, and Slim immediately tries to capture the blob, who panics when Slim calls for Fat Doc and morphs into his long hair shape on Slim's head again. Fat Doc mistakes Slim Doc for his crush again and immediately goes over to propose to "her" with his ring, but is interrupted by the Boss giving him an angry call. A downtrodden Fat Doc explains he has to go, but the two agree to meet later that night in a fancy restaurant.

Fat Doc arrives at the restaurant with some flowers for his date and orders a table for two, but Slim Doc appears without his orange hair, so Fat Doc gets angry at him when he gets frustrated about his love and the fact that Slim Doc thinks the flowers are for him. Some other restaurant customers notice and whisper about the situation, and Slim Doc walks away sad. Fat Doc continues to wait for his date to arrive, but nothing happens; Fat Doc keeps ordering drinks of water, and at one point mistakes another customer with orange hair for the person he is waiting for. All the customers besides Fat Doc have left by the time the restaurant's waiter, Mr. Moustache, gives him his bill, and Fat Doc throws his wedding ring into the man's hands and walks off.

Outside, Slim Doc is sitting on a park, still heartbroken about the night's events. A sad Fat Doc approaches, and Slim Doc tries to walk away before Fat Doc, feeling sorry for getting angry at his friend, gives him a hug. The two agree to order some ice cream cones again and sit on the same bench, watching the stars. Lamput peeks at what's going on behind him, is glad to see the docs getting along again, and orders an ice cream for himself.
