## Plot

With only 24 hours to go to school, Pibby and Bun-Bun try to think of things to do. Unfortunately, every game they come up with is turned down because they have played them too often. They decide to play their own made up game, Dodj or Daar, but get bored of it just as they start playing. They begin to wonder what caused these games to loose their intrigue when suddenly Pibby realizes that maybe it is not the games that are boring, but that instead they are bored of each other. They freak out for a moment, and began thinking of a solution. Pibby notices two ants struggling to lift up a cookie, but another one soon joins in and together, they lift up the cookie. The three happy ants then take Bun-Bun’s cookie and run off. From the ants, Pibby hatches an idea and decides they need a third best friend.

At school, the two search for a new friend. Bun-Bun points out Tina, as she walks by. Tina crushes Aiden, Dieon, and Korey causing Pibby and Bun-Bun to shakily reject her. Bun-Bun then points out William, who flies by to inspect a garbage can. William does a creepy blink, causing the two to shudder and reject him for being creepy. At this point they hear Banana Joe laughing at himself. They greet him, considering making him their third friend. At first they are amused by his tricks, but then he gets less amusing and more annoying in every passing joke. They decide to shy away after his fourth gag.

At lunch time, Tyler somehow finds out that Pibby and Bun-Bun are looking for a third friend. He eagerly takes the job, but creeps the two of them out. They end up at the girls’ restroom, hiding from Tyler. Bun-Bun points out that a friend should be athletic, rich, colorful, and a good listener. Cassidy was listening and was willing to be their friend for thirty dollars. Pibby screams "What?" in anger but Cassidy gives Pibby some time to think. Pibby realizes that it is just five dollars each. Pibby pays Cassidy five dollars, but Bun-Bun does not have money, so Pibby pays for him. However, once Cassidy is paid, Bun-Bun and Cassidy set off without Pibby.

At dinner, Bun-Bun amuses the family with stories about his time with Cassidy. At one point, Pibby throws his dinner at Bun-Bun so he can speak. Unfortunately, the family just listens to Bun-Bun instead.

In the school gym, the kids play a game requiring a best friend. Pibby sees this as a chance to hang out with Bun-Bun, but to Pibby’s dismay, Bun-Bun is with Cassidy. To add insult to injury, Bun-Bun and Cassidy decide to have a sleepover. In retaliation, Pibby plans a sleepover with Alan, without the latter’s consent.

At Pibby’s house, Pibby tries to play games with Alan. Alan cannot play them, as he has no hands. Alan soon asks what is really going on, which Pibby states that things are different without Bun-Bun. Alan says that Pibby needs to go see Bun-Bun, which eventually, he decides to do.

Pibby then has to find a way to get to Cassidy’s house, so she asks Remy if she can borrow his tricycle. He charges her sixty dollars, to which he throws money at him and pedals off on the tricycle. Pibby, in his fury, goes through wet cement and it dries all over him and the tricycle, incapacitating her.

He imagines a moment where Bun-Bun would forget about his old best friend. This makes him break the concrete and keep going and heads for the bumpy region standing between her and Bun-Bun. Pibby starts blaming the "stupid ants" and their "stupid cookie" that got her in the mess while he goes over many hills and valleys. Suddenly, she sees and goes down a very steep hill, which causes her to catch on fire and zip through town like a meteorite.

Soon, Pibby gets to Cassidy’s house. She immediately asks Cassidy for Bun-Bun. Cassidy says she is in another room. Bun-Bun is sobbing over Pibby. Fortunately for Bun-Bun, Pibby is outside. The two make up and start playing Kebab Fighter. When Cassidy asks to play, the episode ends with a "no" from the two close friends.
