Whoa, boy!
And... boom!

You're in check, coach.

Don't feel bad,
games are my thing.

I play to win,
unlike you, obvs.

Great move
right into my trap!

This'll be a learning
experience.

- One day, you'll thank me.
- What are you talking abou...

[dramatic gasp]
Gasp!

That's right. Time to

MOVE ON YOUR QUEEN!

[dramatic sports music]

Nooooo!

Pretty cut-throat way to play a
friendly game, Burgertron.

Thanks! See? Bonz-Eye gets it.

Do you pass go and get $ now?

- [panicked] You guys! You guys!
- [impact crash]

[impact groans]

Bummer.
The board got all messed up.

- Oh, well. I guess it's a tie.
- Sorry everyone!

But I have great news!

You were really a ghost the
wholetime? I knew it!

What? No.
How'd that be great news?

- Dimlit. Just tell us.
- I'm in

- LOOOOOOVE!
- Hey, that's great, buddy,

but I was just in the middle of
winning...

Oh my gosh! Tell us all about
this special bot in your life!

Yes, we want to hear everything!

- I'd rather you just meet her!
- [Burgertron] Sure.

- Sometime. How about...?
- Right now!

Wow. Why does this place
smell like

rose water and jealousy?

O.M.G.
This is Sunset & Van Ness,

the most elite fashion boutique
in the mall.

Dimlit's new love must be so
fancy... [excited squeal].

Everybody, meet Jacqueline.

Jacqui, this is everybody.

Oh, uh, is she behind the
mannequin?

Ha! Don't be silly, sir.

This IS Jacqueline!

Oh? Ho ho ho

Eh, hi Jacqueline.

Nice to meet you, Jacqueline.

Why so quiet, Jacqui-bear?

- Oops.
- Hollow?

Uh, this isn't a robot
in disguise

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Ok, I'll tell them...

Guys, she's super shy!

But she says it's great to meet
all of you!

Oh. That's... mutual. You seem
real

nice. And stuff.

Sorry but we have to run off
now to, uh...

shine my sesame seeds.
See you soon!

Ahh, this is amore.

Ok. How are we gonna fix this

whole "my girlfriend is a
mannequin" thing?

"Fix"? No, just let them be.

She clearly makes Dimlit happy.

We shouldn't judge what brings
him joy even if

we don't understand it.
- And why don't you like her?

She seems nice. I mean, an
inanimate object, sure.

- But nice.
- She's imaginary!

She's real.
I knocked off her foot.

Ok, yes, she's a real mannequin.

But she's an imaginary
girlfriend.

- That's not healthy.
- You're a greasy cheeseburger.

What do you know about
healthy?

- Whoa!
- No no, Burgertron's right.

This thing can't love Dimlit
back.

He's going to get hurt. Badly.

We need to help our friend be
normal.

And if rest of the Mall finds
out about this,

they'll think we're as strange
as he is.

Our squads will never take us
back!

We have to put a stop to this.

No way, man. I learned long ago

never to take sides against
love.

I'm out too. Trying to control
who your friend dates?

This isn't going to end well.

Well, put me in the starting
line-up, coach. What's the play?

A simple idea that ALWAYS works
-billion percent

of the time
We set him up on a blind date!

[happy humming]

There you are! You're late!
Hurry!

Oh no! Sorry!
Wait. Late for what?

Your blind date!

Date? No. I'm taken now,
remember?

Sure, but you weren't back when
you agreed to this!

- I don't remember agreeing to...
- Ha! You forgot?

Uh! Don't tell her that!
She's waiting for you right now,

you don't want to be rude do
you?

NO! Never! Not being rude is
my whole thing!

Glad to hear it! Have fun!

Hi! I never do blind dates,
I swear,

but I thought: what the hey?

And you sure are as cute as they
said, DumbLight.

- Dimlit.
- What did I say?

I'm Anty Farmwell,
so excited to meet you.

What are your friends doing?

Ah, just sniffin' you.

They probably smell your pet
ants on you.

- [nervous squeal]
- We're losing him.

Don't worry, coach. I can push
this across the goal line.

And now, signore e signora,

time for la musica romantica.

Oh, how delightful!

[clears throat]

[screechy violin music]

Ah, it was nice to meet you
DullBulb!

[in the distance]
Call me sometime!

She seemed nice, but my heart
belongs to Jacqueline.

Don't worry.
I've got another idea.

[Frostferatu] Meow, meow.

Oh no! Is that a lost kitten?

[Frostferatu] Meow, meow, meow!

Here kitty-kitty. It'll be ok.

Foolish flashlight! There is no
kitten here,

but only clever imitation noises
made by ME,

Frostferatu!

The foul-frosted cupcake of the
night!

[evil laugh]

Oh hey, Frostie!

Say "hey" to the power of my
hypnosis, mortal!

You are getting sleepy,

sleepy

sleeeeeepy!

Sleepy.

Excellent, and now you will
forget

the weird love of your life

Hey, your hypnosis skills are
getting better, Frostie.

I was almost hypnotized for half
a second!

It worked perfectly. He was %
hypnotized by me.

You're welcome! Now I must fly
off into the night!

Bat form... GO!

[impact thud]

Time to get serious.

[stealthy music]

Okay, test run.

Oh my gosh perfect!

[gasp] Wait. He's coming.
PLACES!

[Kikmee as Jacqui] Hey there,
Dimmy.

- My sweety-wheaty.
- Jacqui-bear!

Did you do something with your
hair?

Oh, you look beautiful!

Well, that's too bad you think
that,

cause I'm breaking up with you!
- What?

So sudden!
Jacqui, why?!

We're from different worlds.

Also, I'm seeing a coat rack

from the furniture store now.
Sorry!

[sobbing]

Oh no, we went too far..

- [Dimlit laughing]
- Huh?

Ha! Good one guys!

Ah, you can come out now!

But how did you know it was us?

My puppetry skills were
flawless!

Well, for one thing, Jacqui
doesn't have strings.

For another, she sounds nothing
like that, Kikmee.

But the real clue was that's
not Jacqueline!

- What?
- That is!

Ah, don't feel like total
stupid-heads.

You only met her once.
An easy mistake!

- Hey Jackie...
- One option left.

Remember our chess match?

[deep sigh] Time to move on
the queen.

Nothing's worked so far, so to
protect Dimlit's fragile heart,

we need to simply remove the
problem.

This truck leaves the Mall
everynight.

The things that go out on
this truck never come back.

A neat and tidy solution.

One day, he'll thank us.

Well, we just made a series of
correct choices

that will NEVER come back to
haunt us! Problem solved!

[Dimlit sobbing]

Dimlit, what's wrong?

Everything!

Jacqueline is gone! She left me.

Ah, I don't know what I did
wrong.

I've never felt better than
when I was with her!

It must have just been
a misunderstanding.

You and Jacqueline have such a
beautiful relationship.

[sobbing] It's ME!

I'm just not good enough for
her!

Oh, how could I mess this up?!

Come on, Dimlit. You can pick up
the pieces and move on.

Think of it as a learning
experience, huh.

Impossible, sir!

I'll never find love again!
Life is meaningless!

Gotta shine those sesame seeds
again. Be back soon!

[frantic panting]

Nooooo!

We're too late!

I think we made some poor
choices.

We have to tell Dimlit
the truth about what we did.

Ugh, I hate to say it but-
you're right.

Remember, as the old saying
goes,

"If you love something, set it
free.

If it comes back, it's yours.

If it doesn't, it might have
been an inanimate object."

[sobbing] I'm gonna be alone
forever!

[Kikmee] Um, Dimlit?

Burgertron and I have a
confession.

Jacqui didn't leave you.

We put her on the back of a
delivery truck.

We're very, very sorry.

We just didn't want to see you
get your heart broken.

[Kikmee] But we broke it anyway.

We did manage to find part of
her

[gasps] Jacqui-bear!
You're back!

Uh, sorry she's only about %
of the girlfriend

she used to be.
- What?

OH! You thought Jacqueline was
the WHOLE mannequin?

Oh, you two are so silly!

- Hi again.
- [BotBots scream]

AHHH! Why didn't you say
anything before now?!

Dimlit told you,

I'm terribly shy.

You all seem so nice, well,
some of you do,

and I'd love to get to know you
better,

but it's almost morning

and we wanted to take a romantic
stroll around the Mall

before it opens.
- See you all later!

I told you so.

No, you said it wouldn't end
well and it ended just fine.

Sorry you were so wrong.

[sigh] Sorry about my friends.

I know they're a little strange.

Maybe I should help them be more
normal.

No, it's ok. Just let them be
themselves.

[Anty Farmwell] Woah!

Whoa!

[Burgertron] Everyone has a
place that they belong.

Their home. My home was with the
Hunger Hubs,

with the love of my life and my
loyal side kick,

I was the captain of fun,

but then, I lost it all

and I'd do anything to get it
back.

[dramatic music]

This is it, Lost Bots.

Don't forget the eddy on the
th stair.

Lean to port or you'll capsize.
Got it?

- Yes, sir!
- Yes, coach.

Wahoo!

[excited laughs, screams]

[happy cheers]

The % safe,
well thought-out

Whitewater Rapid Escalator Run
is NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

[cheering]

I have to say, soldier,

that was a mighty impressive
deployment.

Oh, that? It was nothing.

I mean, lots of work for the
good of all the squads...

just what we do.

It's the most excitement I've
had in weeks!

- Don't you agree, Spud?
- Uh, yeah.

That was a blast, gotta admit,
brahs. Not bad.

You know what? We should return
the favor, Spud.

What if well, we invited them
to Bot Prom tonight?

Look, you Lost Bots broke the
"Sacred Rule of the Mall"

and that's a pretty serious
offense.

But maybe we could let the rules
slide for once?

Oh, okay, I better check my
sched...

OF COURSE WE'LL BE THERE,
BOT PROM IS ONLY

THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT EVER!

Holy soccer balls, this is
really happening.

- I need electrolytes.
- My lumens are increasing!

Yeah, Bot Prom's gonna be
lifechanging, no doubt!

Ohhh, but we haven't figured out

how to keep the Mall Guard away.

He could ruin the whole party
for us.

Oh man

Don't worry about that fleshy
creature.

You have no idea how many times
we've tricked him.

Let the Lost Bots take care
of Dave.

Then it's on! I can't wait!

Bots, if this evening goes
right...

Oh, we know!

Our real squads could ask us
all to join them! Eeee!

I'm even gonna take a bath for
tonight!

Also, what's a bath?

Jacqui, I know we've only
been deeply in love for six days

and eleven hours, but I was
wondering...

Yes, I'll go to Bot Prom with
you, Dimmy-poo!

I have to say, I forgot how much
fun Burgertron could be.

Who knows, if tonight's as
fun as I think it'll be,

maybe we'll accept Burgie back
into the Hunger Hubs?

Burgertron back in the Hunger
Hubs? Huh.

Not on my watch

- [idle whistling]
- [dramatic gasps]

No, Clogstopper, you don't need
a suit for your puppet.

In fact, maybe your hand puppet
can not go?

Your hand puppet can not go.

Burgertron! Burgertron!

Sorry to yell, but I'm just so
very cross.

You won't believe it, but we
overheard Spud Muffin.

I think he's going to sabotage
you at Bot Prom.

You're right, Dimlit.
I don't believe it.

Spud was my best friend.
Sidekick. Playfellow. Chum.

He would never do such a thing.

He said you'd never get back in
the Hunger Hubs "on my watch"

and his eyes were real squinty
like,

"making a devious plan" eyes.

We already know he doesn't want
me back,

'cause we broke the "Sacred
Rule"!

That's why we've been trying so
hard to impress him... them!

But I'm just thinking that maybe
we shouldn't go to Prom.

Spud is planning something
jerk-like!

A good friend would never be
a jerk.

I think you're lying, Dimlit,
and I might know why...

you're afraid of change.

You're jealous I might really be
invited back to the Hunger Hubs.

No, I'm just trying to help!

By trying to ruin our night?

If you don't think going to
Prom's a good idea, I agree.

How about you NOT go.

Really, sir?
You don't want me there?

Jealousy is a bad look for you,
Dimlit,

and I'm not gonna let it ruin
everything we've worked

so hard for. Enjoy doing
whatever it is Bots do

when they're not going to the
most important event ever.

[sad groan]

You really think Dimlit could
lie?

Huh?
[gasp]

Whoa! Someone must've had a hole
in their bag of treats!

ANOTHER WIN FOR DAVE!

Well, a win for Dave.

[loud chomping]

[stealthy music]

- He's coming.
- [Dave's eating noises]

Ah! Oh, schnauzers!

Ohhh, no. Ok. Ok.

I can get myself out of this,
no... [struggle grunts]

Gah! Eh! Oh where's the rope?!

Oh come on!

Well, there are less comfy
places to be trapped, I guess.

Just gotta stay wide-eyed and
vigilant

in case the chance for
escape... [snoring].

Tonight everything changes.

Our days as Lost Bots are at
an end.

Tomorrow, we'll finally be where
we all belong

- [disco music]
- [crowd cheering]

The Custodial Crew was mighty
impressed

with those escalator rapids,
son. We should talk.

Might be on the lookout for
another cleaning agent

[excited squeal]

Hey... Kikmee, right?
I'm Batsby.

Do you like INTENSE CARDIO!?

Are sports drinks
rehydrating?!

Ultimate burpees?!

Bonz-eye! There you are!

You want to meet my friends or
are you too much of a lone wolf?

No, I'd love to be

whatever the opposite of a "lone
wolf" is.

[gasp]

[romantic music]

Hey, Burgie. I hope your ability
to dance didn't get lost

Thanks for keeping the Mall
Guard away

so we could have this night
together.

[angry grunts]

Dimmy, wait up!
This is too brisk.

Sorry. I power-walk when
I'm angry.

It's not pretty, I know.

[panicked gasps]

k*ller nap, Dave. No one does it
better than you, my man.

Rounds time!

Oh no he's going to find Bot
Prom!

[stealthy music]

[effort grunts]

[Dimlit screeching]

- [panting] Mr. Burgertron, sir!
- Whoa, what happened to you?

Let me guess, you've come to beg
forgiveness

and go to the Bot Prom?
Called it!

I know you don't want me here,
me here, sir,

but I tried my best to stop the
Mall Guard

just like you would do like you
would do but I'm not you

and I failed!
- Wait, Dave is free?!

Are you lying? Is this more
"jealousy mania"?

I'm not sure I know how to lie,
sir.

I tried everything I could so
your dance wouldn't be ruined,

but he's almost here!
We have to hurry!

You spent your night trying to
stop Dave

so we'd have a good Prom?
Even after I

wasn't so nice to you?

Sir, you're the one who
said a good friend

would never be a jerk.

[sigh] Maybe I haven't been a
good friend, Dimlit.

Thanks for never giving up.

BOTBOTS! EMERGENCY!

The flesh being escaped and is
on his way!

[panicked noises]

I thought you took care of him!

I don't know how it
happened,

but we've got to hide everything
now!

We'll never get this cleaned up
in time!

We'll ALL be caught!

Not if I can help it!

[effort noises]

Burgertron promised he'd take
care of the Mall Guard!

And now everything's ruined!

He's gonna be a Lost Bot
forever!

All of you are!

[menacing music]

[humming]

Agh! Burger robot?
I knew he was real!

[dramatic music]

[panting] What? Where'd he go?!

He's just too good!

"Too good"? Hardly.

I blew it. Again
Huh?

Impossible.
We tied this rope up!

[sniffing] French fry grease?!

Spud Muffin?

Dimlit, you were right.

It seems like Spud Muffin is
plotting against us.

I should have listened to you
from the start.

I wanted to get back to the
Hunger Hubs so badly,

I couldn't see the truth.

It's okay, sir.

Everything went to complete
garbage tonight.

[Clogstopper] Whoa, not all
garbage is bad...

Anyway, the night is still
young!

I never thought I'd say this,
Clogstopper but

I like how you think!

[cheering]

How are you dorks still happy?

Well, don't worry.

I'll find a way to put an end to
that
