## Official Description

Pete needs to decide on an outfit for picture day, which leads him to seek fashion advice from his friends.

## Plot

The episode starts with Neville walking down the sidewalk while playing the acoustic guitar, before noticing the audience. He then greets them and introduces himself as the town's guitar teacher, before explaining that he'll be visiting his favorite student: Pete the Cat.

Neville then arrives at Pete's house, and states that Pete is getting ready for school right now, as it's Picture Day. The scene then transitions to Pete going to his closet with Neville narrating that he's having trouble picking his "coolest" Picture Day outfit.

Pete grabs a blue and pink shirt, before trying out the former and finding it pretty cool due to its "cool blue" color, as stated by Neville. Pete then wonders if it's cool enough, causing him to try on a variety of outfits that he is still unsure of whether they're cool or not.

Pete starts to contemplate the possibility that he simply doesn't know **how** to look cool, but then remembers his big brother Bob and his expertise in coolness. This prompts Pete to look at his bedroom window, and he sees Bob cleaning his surfboard as he's thinking of all this.

Pete then goes outside in his pink shirt to get advice from Bob, who greets Pete and correctly states that Pete wants his help to look cool on Picture Day. Bob obliges, and takes a look at Pete's outfit to determine if it's cool or not.

Bob simply states that Pete's "all good" and "knows what to do", adding in a wink to his assessment. Pete starts to walk away confidently, but stops in his tracks after realizing he doesn't know what Bob means.

Pete decides to ask his friends about the matter in hopes they'll help him look cool and walks off to do just that, while Neville states that Pete's goal will succeed or his name isn't "Groovalicious", before correcting himself and stating he already said his name.

Pete then walks along the sidewalk in search of his friends, but stops to look at his reflection in a parked car's window. At the sight of himself, Pete wonders if he actually **does** look cool after all.

This pre-mature revelation is cut short, however, as Pete notices his best friend Grumpy Toad riding toward him on a mini bike. Grumpy takes a stop, and correctly asks Pete if he's dressed up for Picture Day, before expressing his displeasure for having to do a Picture Day every year.

Pete shows off his outfit, causing Grumpy to once again correctly ask a question; this time being if he wants to look cool for Picture Day.

Grumpy then offers his help, explaining that he always looks cool when riding his aforementioned mini bike, and that he always wears his "cool" helmet however speed he's going.

Pete agrees, comparing the helmet to a "cool blue popsicle", and Grumpy lends Pete his spare helmet as a result, though it's shown to be a little too big for him. Grumpy states that the helmet is in fact cool, before riding away.

Pete clumsisly continues his walk through the street, with the large helmet waying him down. He ends up at his friend Sally Squirrel's treehouse, and she runs down to him after noticing his presence.

Sally then excitedly asks Pete if he wants to look cool for Picture Day, and the blue cat nods in confirmation. In response, Sally enthusiastically inquires on the levels of coolness, and Pete agrees to them all.

She suggests that Pete wears a polka-dot shirt in order to look cool, before comically rummaging through her items trying to look for it. Sally soon finds the shirt, and Pete reacts in awe.

She then puts it on him, but the shirt turns out to be extremely small and causes Pete to itch because of the squirrel polyester. Regardless, Pete walks off while Sally commends him on his look.

As he's walking down the street and thinking that he still doesn't look cool, Pete hears the singing voice of his friend Callie Cat. Believing that she can make his outfit truly cool, Pete decides to approach her.

Callie sees him fumbling and calls him over to her, and says that his eccentric attire doesn't look planned out. Pete silently agrees with her assesment after looking at himself.

After correctly guessing that Pete desires to look cool for his Picture Day photo, Callie claims that while the coolness of Pete's many pieces of clothing is questionable, her red cowboy boots aren't.
