Buttercup likes Bear's bedroom, mainly because of the bed. Amy Rose retells the story of the little old lady who lived in a shoe. Finally, Blossom also enjoys going up to the attic, because she gets to talk there each night with her friend Jennifer Wakeman, the teenage robot. Blossom goes up to the attic saying "Ah, the attic." Blossom asks the viewers that isn't it great. Se notes that he sometimes just likes to come up here and look up at the sky seeing the stars. it is also when she comes to talk to a special friend. She decides to go find Luna.

Blossom finds Jenny and introduces the viewers to her. They both greet each other. She said she was just getting a good look at the country side. She asks about her day. She notes that she gave everyone a tour of the Big Blue House. She notes that she would like to take that tour someday. She asks what it was like. She notes that everyone had their own favorite room. She says that Thomas the Tank Engine loves the kitchen and his engine shed, Buttercup loves the bed in the bedroom, Bubbles loves the living room because it's a great place to play pretend, and the two plumber brothers Mario and Luigi love the bathroom and the mushroom houses because they love the water and pizzas. They both laugh. She says it seems like everyone has a favorite most special room in the Big Blue House, except for her. She never thought of that. She says it seems to her that maybe the whole house is her most extra special favorite place. It is his home after all. She says that when you are right, you're right. She says, "What can I say? I'm the robot." She says "true, true." She says she must get back up in the night sky, she doesn't want anyone wondering where she has gone. She asks to sing the goodbye song. She agrees to. But then Blossom asks Jenny if she'd like to join her in singing the goodbye song to all our friends before she goes. She says "I'd love to, Blossom." Blossom says "wow", and says thanks for visiting today.
