01x24 - Frenemies

[bunniefuu]

BLYTHE ( chuckling ): LOL, Zoe. You were a star

the moment you walked into the shop.

Well, one must always make a good first impression.

BLYTHE: And look at you, Penny Ling.

You look nervous on your first day at LPS.

I was...a little.

It feels like it was just yesterday.

Actually, it was exactly one year ago tomorrow, Penny Ling.

Really? Wow! It's hard to believe I've been coming

to Littlest Pet Shop for a whole year.

One year is a pretty big deal. Maybe we should celebrate?

BOTH: I know, let's throw her a party!

Oh, you don't need to go to all the trouble of a planning a--

Okay!

I'll plan it! After all, it was my idea.

It was my idea! And I want to plan the party.

Blythe, didn't you hear me say it first?

How about both of you plan the party?

I've got the perfect theme! See what I come up with!

Blythe, are you sure this is such a great idea?

Asking those two to work together?

You'll see. Zoe and Pepper will come through.

I hope so.

With Zoe's sense of style, and Pepper's sense of humor,

your anniversary party is sure to be a huge hit, Penny Ling.

VINNIE: Did I hear we're having an anniversary party

for Penny Ling? ( crashes )

You're gonna need some entertainment,

and "Entertainment" is my middle name.

I thought you told me your middle name was Alfonso.

Never mind that.

I'd like to perform a special dance

just for Penny Ling's anniversary.

Something like the Vinnie-Carena!

♪ Hey, Vinnie-Carena Ay ♪

( humming )

( yelps )

( all gasp )

( both gasp )

Vinnie, are you okay?

Unh! I'm okay.

Got my tail out of the way, just in the nick of--

Time?

My tail!

( dramatic theme playing )

It says here on this pet medical website

that geckos do sometimes lose their tails.

Apparently, it's a defense mechanism.

A gecko's tail will come off if it's grabbed by a predator,

so they can get away.

I'm the one who grabbed it, trying to get it out of the way.

I pulled off my own tail!

I think you look kind of cute without your tail, Vinnie.

You don't understand. My tail gives me balance.

It's responsible for my mad dance skills.

Hmm. Can't we just re-attach it?

So much for that idea.

Too bad we don't have a doctor in the house.

You know, my parents always wanted me to be a doctor.

Sunil, you're hired. Hired?

Well, did anyone else's parents want them to be a doctor?

Then that makes you the closest thing we have.

Sunil's a doctor? Pets can't be doctors!.

Yeah, Russell, be serious!

( nose squeaks )

What?

Do your outfits have something to do

with Penny Ling's anniversary party?

Mine does. I've got the whole thing planned out.

What? No, I've got the whole thing planned out.

Penny Ling, you're gonna love it!

All right, one at a time.

Pepper, what are you thinking?

Okay, hear me out. A clown rodeo...

( country theme playing )

The room will be decorated Wild West style.

And everyone gets a bucket of confetti!

You know, to throw on each other.

( all laughing )

PEPPER: Of course, there'll be fun party games,

like rubber-chicken lassoing.

( all laughing )

And a pie-throwing booth

where everyone gets to throw a pie at Zoe.

What?!

Oh, chillax. I'm just kidding.

( whispers ): Or am I?

Well, what do you think of Pepper's ideas, Penny Ling?

Um, well, I--

Penny Ling, don't you want to hear my idea?

Oh, of course, Zoe.

Okay, hold on to your tiaras,

because this party is going to be fabulous!

Everyone will be dressed in their finest finery.

I look terrible in lilac.

ZOE: There'll be ballroom dancing,

The tablecloths will match the napkins,

which will match the dishes, which will match the drapes.

In other words, everything will match!

There'll be varieties of teas.

Everything from Chewy Chew Toy Blend to Insect Berry Brew,

and of course Penny Ling's favorite, Bamboo Chai.

Mmm!

And last but not least,

there'll be a Dunk-A-Skunk dunking booth

with Pepper as the dunking target.

What?!

What does a dunking booth have to do with a tea party?

Nothing. I just want to see you get dunked.

Well that is-- Kind of funny, actually.

But not as funny as my clown rodeo party idea.

How about we let the guest of honor decide?

Penny Ling, what did you think of my idea?

Uh, yay?

Well, I think they're both great ideas.

BOTH: Ha! Blythe likes my idea!

I said that they're both good.

But you need to work together

to plan one party for Penny Ling.

Can you guys do that?

Uh... Um...

Well?

I'm game if she is.

"Game" is my middle name!

I thought you told me your middle name was Mildred.

Okay, so if we put that rubber band around Vinnie's waist,

it can hold on this straw as his tail.

Good thinking, Sunil. I knew you'd be a good doctor.

Ugh! Too tight!

RUSSELL: Look out!

What's the haps me-naps?

Oh, hi Buttercream. Vinnie lost his tail.

Wowsie, bowsie, what an owsie!

We are looking for something to replace it.

Ooh, I just did a doodle in my noodle

and it looks like Vinnie with a cookie tail!

And instead of glue we'll stick it on with delicious,

so squishous vanilla-y frosting!

What do you think, beau-bink?

I don't know. Ugh, it feels weird.

Go ahead and try some dance moves.

( humming and grunting )

What the--?

Did you just eat Vinnie's tail?

I had a grumble in my tumble

and his tail looked

scrumpity-bumpity- super-vanumpity tasteriffic.

What? What?

( sighs )

Anyhoo...

Hey, let's make Vinnie a cookie tail!

( all groan )

I think that's every single tablecloth we have, Zoe.

Zoe, are you okay in there?

Yes! Let's go with pink!

Pink, huh? Never would have guessed.

Can you sew some sweet flowers and sparkles onto it?

Is that what you and Pepper agreed on?

Can't talk. Gotta go. Lots more planning to do. See you.

Well, hello, fellow party planner.

And a hello, fellow party planner to you.

Blythe, I need you to bring some rodeo to my clown outfit.

Maybe some fringes on the sleeves?

And some boots with spurs? Oh!

Oh! And a big old goofy ten gallon cowboy hat!

Um, sure, Pepper, but I'm a little confused.

Did you and Zoe figure out how you're gonna work together?

Did we figure--? Pfft! Work togeth--?

Oh, of course we--

Don't worry, Blythe, it's gonna be great.

Oh, can you make me a little one gallon hat for my clown nose?

( squeaks )

But I'm not a doctor!

That's the problem, Sunil.

You don't think of yourself as a doctor.

That's why you never became one.

Well, that, and he's a mongoose.

You're missing the point.

If you want to be a doctor, Sunil,

you have to believe that you are a doctor.

So, I want you to say to yourself, "I'm the doctor."

I'm the doctor.

Come on, you can do better than that.

I am the doctor. I am the doctor.

That's it.

Now, I'll go get some stuff we might be able to use

as a replacement tail.

You just keep telling yourself that you're the doctor.

I'm the doctor. I'm the doctor.

I am the doctor.

Dr. Sunil, we're ready for you.

Thank you, nurse. My operating instrument, please.

Yes, doctor.

( blows horn )

No, not this one.

( strums guitar )

SUNIL: A little too sharp.

( blows horn )

Perfect. Nurse, mop the brow, please.

( playing soft music )

( camera clicks )

Oh! That's my boy!

Our son, the mongoose doctor.

Hey, do you mind?

Mother. Father. This is a very delicate operation.

I cannot lose my concentration.

Oh, of course, son, of course.

Oh, Sure, sure. Pretend we are not even here.

( camera clicks )

Uh, doc? You gonna do anything?

Quiet! This is the most delicate part of the operation.

( horn blares )

And...done! Done?

You didn't even-- Ah, bap, bap, bap!

It's... It's...

Awesome!

( cheering )

I am the doctor!

Bring me a gown, sterile bandages, clamps,

and some surgical gloves.

I've got a pencil, a couple of paperclips,

a tape measure, and a balloon.

( whimpers )

I am the doctor.

( upbeat theme playing )

Whoa!

( Vinnie screaming )

( crash )

( upbeat theme playing )

( crash )

( Vinnie screaming )

( Zoe humming )

( thumping ) ( gasps )

( grunts )

So, fellow party planner, what's the hay for?

The party, fellow party planner.

It's just what we need for our rodeo clown extravaganza.

Rodeo Clown--?! Ha-ha-ha!

Darling, I thought it was crystal clear

we were going with my tea party idea.

That's funny, because I was pretty sure we decided

on my rodeo clown idea. Yee-haw!

BOTH: That's ridiculous!

( both laughing )

( somber theme playing )

PENNY LING: And with Pepper and Zoe planning my anniversary party,

nothing seems to be going right.

Oh, Penny Ling, I am completely confident

they're gonna come through and throw you an awesome party.

Yeah? Yeah, you're right.

At least, I hope you're right.

Don't worry. Everything's gonna be perfect.

VINNIE: Not everything.

Ugh. We've tried every possible replacement for a tail

and nothing works.

So, Penny Ling, I don't think I can do

a special anniversary dance for you after all.

Oh, no!

On the bright side, everyone can play

pin the tail on the gecko.

See what I mean, Blythe?

This party is gonna be one big dud.

Vinnie, have you even tried dancing

since you lost your tail?

What's the point? I can't dance without a tail.

Your dancing doesn't come from your tail,

it comes from your heart.

Maybe these will help.

Take some old doll shoes

add some thumbtacks... ( snaps )

Instant tap shoes.

Go on, try. How about a little tap number?

( shoes tapping )

Huh, they do feel kind of nice.

Hey Vinnie, that's pretty good.

( upbeat jazzy theme playing )

Oh, I can dance. I can dance!

Vinnie, without your tail,

you're-- You're great!

I guess my tail was holding me back all along. Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Stop riding that bull, Pepper.

My crustless kibble sandwiches keep toppling.

Doesn't matter, Zoe. Nobody's gonna even notice

while they're having fun with the rodeo clowns.

( Pepper screams )

Ugh! Who would ever want to go to a rodeo clown party?

Only people who want to have fun.

You've heard of fun, right?

That's what parties are supposed to be.

If my party isn't fun, then your party is even less fun.

( both growling )

They'll both be fun, because I can dance! Whoo!

( upbeat jazzy theme playing )

BOTH: He'll dance at my party!

Welcome to Pepper's Rodeo Clownland!

Welcome to Zoe's Fantabulous High Socie-tea party.

Rodeo Clownland!

High Socie-tea.

PEPPER: Rodeo Clownland!

ZOE: High Socie-tea.

( country theme playing )

( gasps ) ( sniffs )

BOTH: Huh? Ah...

Welcome to Zoe's Fantabulous High Socie-tea!

It's a fun play on words, and a fun party theme.

( grunts )

Come to Pepper's Rodeo Clownland where every cowboy's a clown!

( both laughing )

I thought you two were going to work together.

Obviously, Pepper didn't hear that you liked my idea.

Pfft! Go ahead, Blythe, tell her how it was my idea

you thought was great.

I liked both of your ideas,

but you seem to have forgotten

that you were supposed to work together

to make this Penny Ling's party.

PENNY LING: Um, hello?

Penny-- Penny Ling!

Well, howdy, partner!

Come on over here and celebrate

your anniversary at Rodeo Clownland!

Really? Wow, that sounds goo--

You could go there, Penny Ling.

But if you do, you'll miss the queen.

Ah! The queen? Where is she?

Right here.

( gasps )

I'm the queen.

Whoa!

Ah, this way, please.

Isn't this magnificent? Fifty varieties of tea.

Flowery Fly Wing, Liver Hibiscus, Decaf Banana,

for Minka, of course.

We've got tea for two, tea for three,

and tea and anniversary cake

with a layer of bamboo greens, just for you, Penny Ling.

Ah! It's all so pretty.

And all for me.

Your majesty.

Saddle up, and let's ride!

( grunts )

Here we are, Rodeo Clownland!

( giggles )

Even queens need to have a little fun, right?

That's why we're ropin' chickens! Goin' on a hayride!

Riding the mechanical bull!

Wow!

And that's not all.

Have some anniversary cake!

Mmm.

It's rodeo clown fun, and it's all for me.

No! You need to come back to the tea party.

Not until she's done with the rodeo!

Come on, Penny Ling, it's time to lasso some chickens.

( Zoe barks )

Hey! You know, Pepper,

we'd all be having a great time at my party

if it weren't for you getting all:

( in Southern accent ): Howdy partner! Yee-haw! Ride 'em cowboy!

Yeah? Well what about you with your:

( in English accent ): Would you care for some tea?

Perhaps a spot of oolong?

ZOE: And rustle up some chickens while you're at it!

Hoe down on the haystacks, I reckon!

( Zoe and Pepper arguing in accents )

( Penny Ling sighs )

Okay, you two, I have an idea.

I think we should start things off with a good old party game.

One that everyone can participate in.

( pets yelling )

And when I say everyone, I mean...

Pepper and Zoe.

( Pets groaning )

( in normal voice ): Great! I love party games!

What is it, musical chairs?

( in normal voice ): Or maybe it involves a piñata ?

Those are always fun.

The game goes like this.

You will each point out the best qualities in one another.

BOTH: What kind of party game is that?

My kind. Zoe, you go first.

Well, I guess I'd have to say that Pepper is... lucky.

Lucky? How am I lucky?

Because you're so funny, and have a lot of fun ideas,

and that's why everyone likes you.

It's you that everyone likes. And why not?

With your style and beauty.

I wish I could have a little bit of your kind of pizzazz.

You think I've got pizzazz?

Because I see it more like panache.

Ahem. Zoe.

Oh, What I mean is...

I never knew you even noticed that kind of stuff, Pepper.

Well, sure. Why do you think I tease you sometimes?

It's all because I guess I'm just a little--

Little-- I'm a little jealous.

Well, I know I get mad when you make fun, but deep down,

I'm laughing.

Because, let's face it. You're just plain funny.

( tender theme playing )

PETS: Aww.

You know, we were so busy trying to one-up each other,

we forgot today's most important pet:

Penny Ling.

Pepper and I are so sorry, Penny Ling. This is your party.

So choose whichever theme you like, and it'll be fine with us.

PENNY LING: Okay, well...

I love both of them!

( pets cheering )

And now, in celebration of Penny Ling's

Fantabulous High Socie-tea

Rodeo Clownland Anniversary Party,

here with a special dance is Vinnie!

VINNIE: I've got some bad news.

I won't be able to dance, because of... this!

Vinnie, your tail grew back! That's fantastic!

Fantastic? It's terrible!

Why didn't you tell me it would grow back!

Uh, I thought you knew?

As a pretend doctor,

I should've known that geckos' tails grow back.

Though I concur with Blythe. It is fantastic.

I was a lot better dancer without my tail.

Oh, Vinnie, I thought you were a great dancer

before you lost your tail. You did?

Yes, and I'll be very disappointed if I don't get

the anniversary dance that you promised me.

You're right, Penny Ling. The show must go on!

Ladies and gentlepets!

Reunited after a short separation,

the dynamic dancing duo of...

Me and my tail!
