## Plot

Apple and Onion are doing a handstand. Suddenly, a written letter comes and both Apple and Onion read it. Falafel's birthday is tomorrow and he doesn't want to be alone and blow out the candles of his cake alone so Falafel can invite Apple and Onion to the party. After that, Apple and Onion try to write a letter back, but Apple keeps writing anything that Onion says, in which Falafel thinks it's nonsense. Onion decides to write the feedback about Falafel's letter without Apple's help. As they give their letter to Falafel, through a maze of things, Falafel is happy that they are coming to the party. Apple and Onion has bought a gift for Falafel and it is a bouncy ball. Apple wants to test try (just in case) but ends up breaking the floor. Apple and Onion then go down to look for the ball. They end up finding it, but are lost. Then, they realise they are in the inbetween. Chip comes to Apple and Onion and introduces himself to them. Apple and Onion needed to get out of here so Chip tells them the exit but then, Chip wanted to show them the game room. Falafel is getting ready while then. As Apple and Onion play the game, they are in the boss level. The only way to beat him is to break his heart.

Since Apple mentioned about the boss looking like Falafel, they realise they have to leave for Falafel's birthday. Chip said "thanks" but Chip traps Apple and Onion because he had no friends. They (Apple and Onion) can't abandon Chip last time. Then, Chip has a memory where he lost his best friend, Falafel. Chip wanted to be best friends with Apple and Onion but ends up Apple and Onion panicking and screaming. After that, Chip wanted to bring some bin-bins (drinks) for Apple and Onion. As Apple and Onion are trapped, they hear Falafel counting down from 10 to 0. Then, Onion has an idea. They decide to make a "character" named Crisp. They send a letter with the name Crisp so Chip won't suspect it is Apple and Onion who wrote the letter. As Crisp and Chip send letters back and fourth until they wanted to meet. Apple and Onion secretly try to make a shape of a crisp (chip) and use their bouncy ball and put Crisp in the ball and throws. Apple and Onion tells Chip that he (Crisp) does not want to see Chip as a bad person for locking up both of them. So, Chip releases Apple and Onion and they both run away from Chip. But, Chip spots Apple and Onion and both of them are blocked from a fan so they cannot go out. But, Apple makes a paper airplane to the button which has an on an off button, and in winning, the bird hits the off button. They run away but Chip is crying and Chip makes a decision that he wants to stay. Apple and Onion leave and Chip makes a regret face.

Falafel eats his birthday cake in despair and Apple and Onion come in and say that they are sorry that they missed Falafel's birthday. Chip comes in and Apple and Onion introduces Falafel to Chip. But they have a silent moment of memory. Chip is young and gets to live in Apple and Onion's shack. Each year, Chip comes to Falafel's birthday party. One day, at Falafel's birthday, Chip has a ball and hits it on the floor (just like how Apple did it early in the episode). Chip is curious and goes inside there but ended up lost. Chip called Falafel's name over the years but it did not work. Chip had no friends in conclusion of his memory. As Chip and Apple and Onion give Falafel the gift (which is the bouncy ball), they all blow a candle, making Falafel happy in the end.
