## Synopsis

When Falafel decides to pack up and leave the city, Apple and Onion must convince him to stay or they will have to leave too.

## Plot

Falafel is watching television in his apartment, until he gets a call from Apple and Onion, telling Falafel that they need his help. Then, they sing a song by showing examples of how he is so great. At nighttime, Falafel fixes Apple and Onion's air conditioner and tells them that if it goes over 6, it will drip water everywhere. Then,

Apple asks if Falafel can tuck him in. Onion tells Falafel that he and Apple appreciate him and that they would like to thank him. Falafel thanks them back and leaves. Then, Apple and Onion think about their families and they miss them. Falafel does the same thing in his apartment.

The next morning, Apple calls Falafel, saying he needs him. Falafel refuses since he is still in bed. When he's about to watch TV, Water drips and break the TV. He noticed that it's coming from above. When he gets to the roof shack, he sees water everywhere. He is angry and says that he's gonna leave the city, forever! Apple and Onion try to fix it by planning a fun day for Falafel.

Their first stop is at The Dollar Store. Apple and Onion say that everything is only a dollar. Then Onion kicked a ball, it broke Patty's penny jar. Falafel will have to pay for the damaged shop, Falafel also has to pay for a basketball that Patty deflated on her own to illustrate her point. Their second stop is the city park, where they feed pigeons and have a "pigeon party", but that fails since the pigeons nearly ate Falafel. Their third stop is to a church tower in the city, but that fails when Falafel almost falls to his death and tells the two that it's the worst day of his life. Later, Apple, Onion, and Falafel go to a restaurant, then see Buffalo Mozzarella sing at an opera. Then, they go on a helicopter were Apple falls off, but he's safe because of a parachute.

Then, back at Falafel's apartment, Apple and Onion bought him

a new TV because of his credit card. Falafel tells them that they shouldn't have done that, making Apple and Onion feel bad. Later on, the two buy him a cap (for a dollar), and they sing a song when they found out that Falafel misses his parents as well. The episode ends with them sitting on the couch, laughing while watching Falafel's show, which relates to Falafel's problem earlier.
