## Episode summary

The episode begins one night at Castle Leonardo. King Leonardo is sleeping in his bedroom when a line shines through his window. King Leonardo wakes up and takes a look, only to find something resembling Leeko walking through the air toward him. As this Leeko-like figure gets closer, it grows larger, gains fangs, and becomes surrounded by fire. King Leonardo tries to get away from it, but it traps him against his locked bedroom door. In desperation, King Leonardo swings his mallet wildly at it, when he wakes up realizing he whacked Tommy in his sleep. After getting his bearings, King Leonardo tells Tommy about his nightmare. Later on, still reeling from his dream, King Leonardo issues an order to his castle guards to not let Leeko attack him under any circumstances. Sir Pathogen steps up and tells King Leonardo that Leeko is already in the castle playing with the kids, prompting Leonardo to cower in fear. Meanwhile, Manny is handing out lollipops to Leeko and the Puffy children. When Leeko gets his, he jumps with joy and accidentally drops it into the courtyard where it lands and sticks onto the back of King Leonardo's rove. Leeko chases after it, making King Leonardo believe that Leeko is indeed out to get him. As Leonardo tries to run away, he passes by Milly and Tommy and then crashes into a wall, and Leeko snatches the lollipop off his robe.

King Leonardo becomes fed up, and decides to go into Puffy Town to get his dream "all figured out" by Marvin. As he enters town, however, King Leonardo is blocked in the road by the assembled Puffy villagers, who issue a long-standing request to him to build a park for the Puffy children. Leonardo brushes them off and drives forward, prompting them to scatter. They watch as Leonardo enters Marvin's parlor and wonder about his motives, and Bubbles nearly gives away a trade secret while commenting on it. Inside, Marvin's establishment, King Leonardo gets his fortune read. Marvin tells him that he is not being hunted by Leeko, but instead, but his long-repressed conscience. He insists that until he builds the playground for the Puffy children, he will continue to be haunted. King Leonardo outright rejects this fortune, and leaves without paying after declaring him a fraud to the town. Milly, Manny, and Leeko then show up and learn from Marvin what Leonardo told him. This gives Manny an idea to use Leeko to scare him and the two run back to the castle. Meanwhile, Milly is worried about Marvin's reputation, and Bubbles appears to invite her into Bubbles' Glass so they can discuss the situation. After serving Milly pineapple juice, Bubbles explains that Marvin is not really a fortune teller, and instead serves as the town's counselor. During the chat, Bubbles nearly reveals his hidden affection toward Marvin, but manages to change the subject.

Later that night at the castle, King Leonardo vows to never sleep again so that he doesn't have another nightmare about Leeko. Tommy helps by giving him loads of coffee to drink, but despite this, King Leonardo falls asleep almost immediately, and then proceeds to sleep-whack Tommy with his hammer repeatedly. Meanwhile, Manny, Leeko, Helios, and Luna prepare to scare him while Milly, Bubbles, and Marvin try to divine the significance of Leonardo's dreams. Marvin ends up spilling the beans about his and Bubbles' business relationship, and Milly decides they should go to the castle to investigate directly instead. Once there, Milly and Marvin stumble into an observatory and discover a giant telescope there. Marvin looks in through the eyepiece and discovers an ominous red star. Meanwhile, King Leonardo falls asleep again and Tommy decides to leave him to it in order to get out of another whacking range.

Shortly after, Manny, Leeko, Helios, and Luna sneak in and Leeko uses a flashlight to shine a light on his own face in front of the snoozing king. When Leonardo wakes up and sees this, he runs screaming out of the room as the kids laugh at his paranoia. They continue to torment him with the flashlight as Leonardo runs through the halls. In desperation, King Leonardo calls Nebula Enterprises and begs them to send him a monster that can put out fires. Through the Monster delivery system comes Hailboar; a woolly mammoth-like monster that can blow freezing blasts out of its trunk. The monster proceeds to crash through a wall and attack Leeko, shooting him repeatedly with ice and chilling him. Leeko tries to vacuum-mouth the ice shots, but is unable to, and is knocked around the castle. As Hailboat inches closer, Moonlight Man appears and offers Leeko a torch to inhale instead, which grants him the Fire Copy Ability. Using this, Fire Leeko fights off Hailboar and overpowers it, causing the monster to melt into a puddle of water.

King Leonardo is left to stare in horror at Fire Leeko and tries to run away, but is stopped by Marvin, who explains that Leeko is not the monster from his dreams. Instead, he escorts King Leonardo to the observatory and shows him the bright red star through the telescope. He explains to him that the object is an asteroid that is heading directly toward Usapia and may end up destroying the whole kingdom. Despite this ominous warning, King Leonardo is relieved that Leeko is not the monster from his dreams, and decides to catch up on some sleep right then and there. Marvin then turns to the kids and reassures them that the asteroid will not actually arrive for another thousand years. However, seeing this asteroid, Nebula decides he'll speed up the process so that it destroys Usapia much sooner, and Leeko is left to watch the red glow as it grows in size from a smaller telescope at the castle. The episode ends as the threat of the asteroid is established for the next episode: Marvin’s Prediction, Part 2.
