## Summary

Apple and Onion take on a monster in a parallel universe in order to get back home.

## Plot

The episode starts with Pumpkin, who is outside Apple and Onion's shack realises he has no idea what he is doing here. While then, Apple is having a stomach problem. Onion checks on him. In the meantime, Apple decides to show Onion his wicked dream. As they are in the dream, they are in the sewers and they both decide to go out of there. They go out by swimming to a manhole pipe and goes out. Onion says it looks like their town but different. Apple wants to continue but Onion disagrees. Apple decides to stay in this dream.

As they walk to Pizza's Diner, they hear a stomping sound and they both hide. But once they were safe, Chocolate is seen getting eaten by someone, which scares Apple and Onion, and at the same time, they are dragged to somewhere. They end up in Pizza's Diner with their friends. As they both greet them, the gang doesn't seem to remember Apple and Onion. Apple thinks the dream friends do not know Apple and Onion. Apple and Onion decide to ask what's going on here. Burger decides to tell the whole story, including with the gang, who pushes each other. Apple and Onion talk about their dream (in private) and they decide to wake up by using their two techniques, which in conclusion failed. They decide to head out of Pizza's Diner and are found by The Eater (who turns out to be a human toddler).

They both find the Dollar Store which Patty is there. Patty says that Apple and Onion are the Chosen Ones and must be protected by The Eater. So, as Patty goes to the toilet, Apple and Onion goes outside and gets a bunch of stuff but ends up making noise, which The Eater is alarmed. Patty then blocks Apple and Onion and decides to get eaten by The Eater. The Eater is then distracted by Apple and Onion’s friends, who also want to get eaten. To try to save them, Apple and Onion dress up as a pie to lure The Eater away from their friends. The Eater then eats Apple and Onion. As they are stuck in the stomach of The Eater, they need to hide from another huge monster which is a worm. Inside the worm was Hoagie and Chocolate, who greets Apple and Onion. The worm chases Apple and Onion and both of them try to hide and Apple realises something, which Onion questions: The worm must be eating The Eater's food and that's why he's hungry. Apple has a plan, but it's not very good. They both run away from the worm and they both go inside the stomach acid and the worm follows them inside the acid, which the worm vanishes. Apple and Onion are about to vanish too, but Apple sees a light and they both go to it, in which they become skeletons, then, they both wake up. Apple coughs a worm and realises why he has a stomach ache. Pumpkin comes in their shack and Onion questions that is it Halloween. After that, they give Pumpkin the worm and Pumpkin is upset.

* Various characters were revealed to be eaten by the Eater. This includes a different burger, Churro, Ice Cream, Chicken Nugget, Falafel, Pizza and his mom.
* Being a parallel universe, it makes sense for the gang and Patty to not know who Apple and Onion are. It's possible that since the city is a dystopian place, the duo never moved there.
