## Plot

As Romi leaves her bedroom to start the day, she leaves behind her teddy bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy. Through the wall, Maskping enters onto her bed and approaches the bear. Using her magic key, she activates the bear and tells him to wake up...

At the Teenieping Resort, the Jewel Teeniepings are seen enjoying their day off, sliding down a waterslide, while Heartsping relaxes nearby. But something hovers above them, and it’s a giant bear! The bear jumps and lands into the pool and splashes the Teeniepings out of it! Thinking that it’s impossible, Heartsping and the others realize that Romi’s teddy bear is in fact alive!

The three of them run to safety, and try to get the attention of Romi, who brushes it off when she sees that the teddy bear is seen sitting still. She presses the symbol on its tummy and it repeats a message from her parents that they love her, and places it back into the Teenieping School.

The Teeniepings get suspicious when they notice that Fuzzy Wuzzy has stopped moving, and they try to figure out how it happened. But just as they’re discussing, Fuzzy Wuzzy goes missing!

At a nearby kitchen, Tidyping & Yummyping are seen preparing and arranging some macarons. As Yummyping takes a purple one out of the oven, she comes across something terrifying: Fuzzy Wuzzy has eaten Tidyping and her broom, which causes Yummyping to pass out! The Royal Teeniepings try to find her and realize she’s out cold!

When Yummyping comes back to her senses (after Heartsping repeatedly shakes her), she explains what she saw which leaves the Royal Teeniepings worried that Tidyping may be gone forever! Heartsping tries to rally them together to save Tidyping.

Fuzzy Wuzzy is seen walking around the Teenieping School, eating various things he can find. Heartsping gets the Teeniepings to try and use magic to take him down, but Joahping convinces them against it, saying that if they hurt Fuzzy Wuzzy, Romi might be sad. But when Teeheeping notices him nonchalantly playing the piano, she decides to make a leap for it and kicks Fuzzy Wuzzy, but she winds up bouncing off his tummy. Fuzzy Wuzzy checks up on her, which leads Teeheeping to leap at him again!

The other Teeniepings follow suit and a big scuffle goes down, but eventually, Fuzzy Wuzzy is able to throw them off his body. When he notices Teeheeping’s knocked out, he tries to protect her, but she wants none of it! She trips over a loose block on the ground, and bumps into a wall, and a flower pot comes falling down! But Fuzzy Wuzzy saves her at the last moment, catching the pot.

When Teeheeping realizes that he saved her, Trustping snatches her away and back into hiding. Trustping tells her the only way to stop Fuzzy Wuzzy — and bring back Tidyping — is with magic and uses the Guardian of Trust to spin Fuzzy Wuzzy around, sending him in a daze! Heartsping and the others decide to use their magic, certain that Romi would understand their crisis...

Tidyping is then seen back from washing the toilet, and notices the massive mess left behind by the Teeniepings, who are shocked to see that she’s in one piece! But Fuzzy Wuzzy approaches them, and it looks like they’re about to be eaten, but he pulls her magic broom out his mouth to return it to her after eating it.

Baffled by this display of kindness, the Teeniepings all come to realize they mistook Fuzzy Wuzzy as some sort of monster, and apologize. Teeheeping offers Fuzzy Wuzzy to play with them, all while Maskping watches on from a window outside Heartrose Bakery.

Fuzzy Wuzzy’s caring nature is shown as he plays with the Teeniepings, as he comforts a wailing Trustping after he was hit in the head with a ball during soccer and saves Joahping from falling off a ride near the Teenieping School. After some time, his stomach grumbles which means it’s time to eat. Fuzzy Wuzzy offers a macaroon from his mouth to Tidyping, but she hesitates...

Yummyping serves everyone some sweet macarons, and they all enjoy some together, and they all dance together after, with Heartsping on the piano! Meanwhile, Maskping watches this and realizes she’s failed, choosing to leave Harmony Town through a portal created from her magic key.

As the Teeniepings are enjoying themselves, some magic gears turn on the back of Fuzzy Wuzzy, which makes him feel tired. Joahping notices this and Trustping offers him some chocolate balls, but nudges Fuzzy Wuzzy which knocks him to the ground... Teeheeping takes this as though he’s pulling a prank on them, but it becomes no joke when Fuzzy Wuzzy doesn’t start to move! The Teeniepings all come to realize that maybe he turned back into being a normal teddy bear, and they all cry at the loss of their friend...

Later in the day, Romi sees the Teeniepings asleep in her bed with Fuzzy Wuzzy. She covers them in her blanket and lets them be, all while Teeheeping mutters that she wishes they could play with Fuzzy Wuzzy again, as Fuzzy Wuzzy says one last message of love to the Teeniepings...

## Trivia

* Despite being featured in this episode, the Teenieping Resort is never seen again.
* In a scene where the Teeniepings dance together with Fuzzy Wuzzy, the Teeniepings are doing some familiar dances from last season.
	+ Trustping does the same dance Giggleping does when she joins the Teenieping Carnival in the eponymous episode.
	+ Teeheeping & Joahping do the same dance that Heartsping & Lalaping do when they try to unfreeze Romi in “Trouble In The Library.”
	+ Tidyping & Yummyping do Hye-Joo’s popular dance.
* This is the first episode where Romi is featured as a minor character.

## Errors

* None of the other Jewel Teeniepings that were enrolled in Teenieping School besides Tidyping & Yummyping (Tickleping, Owwping, Wishping, Patping, Timidping & Cozyping) are featured in this episode.
* It seems like the dubbing studio of the English dub has had a mix-up; in the scene where Tidyping is about to clean the macaron machine, the dubbing studio mistakes it as macaroon machine. Apparently, macaroons and macarons are different, and macarons are shown in the episode. Macaroons are nut cookies, while macarons are sandwich cookies.

## Notes

1. ↑ This was the work of Maskping’s magic upon her exit from Harmony Town.
