**Follow Your Dreams** is the 26th episode of Season 1 of *Apple & Onion* and the 26th episode overall.

## Synopsis

Apple and Onion need to find a dream to follow so that their lives don't head anywhere.

## Plot

The episode starts with Apple and Onion singing a song about them taking life one step at a time and where they’re going to a bunch of animals. After singing, they notice that the only kind of song they sing is reggae. They go to their laptop to look up different song styles. While searching, a pop up shows up, and they press it. It presents Street Dog as the “Achiever of Dreams” and convinces the duo to give up their tactic to take it one step at a time by saying that it will get you nowhere. He has a business in helping foods find dreams which comes with a 24 hour chat service.

Obeying him, Apple and Onion decide to take a quiz Street Dog provides by clicking the pop up. They both receive the dream of being pet groomers, and sell their music equipment to a young meatball with ugly musical skills.

They receive the materials needed to start a pet grooming business, but due to a lack of advertisement, no customers arrive. They once again go to the chat service for help, and Street dog helps them create a giant sign that covers Falafel’s window and a cheesy commercial for their new business.

Sure enough, they receive their first customer and his dog. They try to clean it, but their lousy grooming combined with a rambunctious dog earns them a negative review, with the owner going so far as to badmouthing them to his friends. After, they once again go to the 24 hour chat service, but all they receive is Street Dog’s motto.

After a pigeon flies through their window, they get the idea to groom city animals, but all attempts fail:

.Trying to lure out rats gets them attacked

.Brushing a raccoon’s teeth provokes it to scratch them up

.They try to groom a pigeon, but it keeps escaping them.

Finally, the try to groom a squirrel, but it runs up a tree. They chase it around the stump, proclaiming in sadness “WE’RE GOING NOWHERRRRRREEEEE!!!” They eventually give up, sad that their dream was failed while still convinced that sing is not their true passion.

They return to the chat service one more time, but every time they send Street Dog a message, he just answers “Remember, to make your dreams come true, you need to do WHAT EVER IT TAKES!”, enraging Onion. Suddenly, Apple realizes that what they need to do is see him in person.

After a long time searching the city, they track Street Dog down to an apartment room instead of the mansion he said he lived in. When they question him on what to do, he tells them his motto, except he incorrectly says “WHAT EVER YOU NEED Need need!” When they enter his house, they realize that he scammed them because of the boxes of hoses, fans and loofahs (Raisins too, but those had nothing to do with the plot twist.) Street dog tries to escape by flying with a fan, but it unplugs, sending him crashing down into a pile of trash. With no way out, he confesses the truth.

He wasn’t the achiever of dreams at all. He didn’t even have a dream himself. After he noticed homeless foods without dreams, he got the idea to start a business that gives foods dreams. He randomly chose pet grooming as a dream to sell, and created kits to give foods their dream.

With the truth out, he gives Apple and Onion a refund for scamming them. They get their music equipment back from the meatball in exchange for a mop wig they used in their commercial, and they go back to just singing, waiting for their dream to come to them.

Meanwhile, Street Dog continues to fly using the fan and a longer plug in cord.
