Cinder Slippers, Sunny Side Up, and Berry Jars 'N' Jam were in the living room of the barn, eating Fruity Hoops for breakfast. "Five minutes then we're leaving," Mango Tiki Wiki said. "Okay," the three Lalaloopsies all said. "Ooh, I need some money," Cinder said. "For?" Mango asked. "A present for Crumbs Sugar Cookie. It's her birthday tomorrow," Cinder answered. "Oh, that's nice of you to do that," Mango said. "Mari Golden Petals is organizing it. She-" Cinder said. "Oh my goodness!" Berry said, as she realized she and her twin sister forgot. "What?" Sunny asked. "Oh no! I hope I'm not too late!" Berry answered. "For?" Sunny asked. "I better check!" Berry answered as she and Sunny left the barn. "Check for what?" Sunny asked. "Whoa, where are they off to in a rush?" Patch Treasurechest asked as he approached. Mango looked at Patch's mustache he grew. "What?" Patch asked. "That thing under your nose," Mango answered. "Yeah, aren't you going to get rid of it?" Cinder asked. "Oh, you mean my mustache. Pretty cool, eh?" Patch asked. "Not really," Cinder answered. "Come on, Patch, it looks silly," Mango said. "No, it doesn't! Just wait until it grows! You'll see!" Patch said.
Sunny and Berry entered Crumbs Sugar Cookie's cafe. "I'm almost positive," Sunny said as she entered. "Would you just tell me what you're talking about?" Berry asked. "Girls, gather round, quick!" Sunny told the Lalaloopsies that were in the cafe. "What's up?" Dot Starlight asked. "I'm pretty sure it's Crumbs' birthday tomorrow," Sunny answered. "Huh?" Jewel Sparkles asked. "You sure?," Dot asked. "I am more than sure! I'm 100% sure!" Sunny answered. "Oh!" Dot said. "And-" Sunny said, but noticed Crumbs was passing by. "And that's why I don't agree with Windows 10 ending support this soon," Sunny said. "Huh?" Dot asked, as the coast was now clear.
"And it's a big birthday for Crumbs," Sunny said. "It is?" Jewel asked. "Yes! She's turning 22!" Sunny answered. "22?" Spot Splatter Splash asked. "Shh! Yes, 22!" Sunny answered. "Are you sure? She's only-" Spot asked. "I am 100% sure!" Sunny answered. "She looks so young!" Dot said. "Anyway, I was thinking-" Sunny asked, but Crumbs passed by again. "And I think we should all do enroll in Windows 10's extended security updates," Sunny said. "What are you talking about?" Dot asked. "I think we should throw her a surprise birthday party," Sunny answered, after the coast was clear again. "Great idea!" Dot said. "I know! So we'll-" Sunny said, as Crumbs walked back in. "I'll speak to you all about it after. And that's why bakers should be paid more," Sunny said. "Hmm..." Crumbs said, having overheard what Sunny just said.
Sunny then went to the playground and gave the Lalaloopsies tasks for the party. "Candle, you're in charge of the decorations," Sunny told Candle Slice O' Cake. "Okay," Candle said. "Dot, you make the birthday cake," Sunny told Dot. "I can do that!" Dot said. "Jewel, you write the birthday card," Sunny told Jewel, who was looking into a tube at the playground. "Sure!" Jewel answered. "Spot, you buy a birthday present," Sunny told Spot. Sunny then went over to Piña Tropi-Callie and Tart Berry Basket. "And you two are in charge of making sure Crumbs doesn't know anything about the surprise party," Sunny told the fruit themed Lalaloopsies. "You can count on us!" Piña said. Sunny and Berry then went back home.
"And what can I do to help?" Berry asked. "Nothing. You can just sit down and relax," Sunny answered. "But I-" Berry said. Berry and Sunny noticed that Patch grew out his mustache a bit. "What, what's that thing?" Sunny asked. "Huh?" Patch asked. "That thing on your face?" Berry asked. "Oh, you mean my mustache! Pretty neat, eh?" Patch asked. "Not really," Sunny answered. "You going to shave it off?" Berry asked. "No way!" Patch answered. "Anyway, I have to do something for the birthday," Berry said. "That's the thing, Berry. I gave all the jobs to everyone else, so now you and I can just sit back and relax," Sunny said. "Oh, alright then," Berry said. "You have to be joking!" Sunny said as she entered the room with her phone. "What's wrong?" Berry asked. "Dot messaged and said she won't have time to make the birthday cake!" Sunny answered. "Oh," Berry said. "What am I going to do now?" Sunny asked. "Well, I could make it," Berry answered. "Really? That would be great!" Sunny answered. "Leave it to me!" Berry said as she went to go make the cake. "Good! Everything is back on track!" Sunny said.
Berry was in the kitchen, making a strawberry cake for Crumbs. "Don't need any help, Berry?" Mango asked. "No, I'm fine. Crumbs is going to love this cake," Berry answered as she was mixing up the cake batter. Sunny got a notification on her phone and looked at it. "Oh, what?" Sunny asked. "Sounds like something else has gone wrong," Berry answered. "I cannot believe this!" Sunny said as she entered. "What's wrong?" Mango asked. "Candle is having trouble with the decorations, and-" Sunny answered. "I could do the decorations," Berry said. "But the strawberry cake?" Sunny asked. "I've nearly finished it," Berry answered. "Oh, wow! Thanks, Berry! I'll let Candle know!" Sunny said as she left. "Ooh, strawberry cake! Can I lick the spoon?" Patch asked. "Sorry, I promised it to Scribbles. Can you tell her to come inside?" Berry asked. "Scribbles, Berry said you can have the spoon now!" Patch called out loud. "Woo hoo! I love straw-" Scribbles said as she entered, but was turned off by Patch's mustache, and screamed and ran out. "Well, I guess you can have the spoon now, Patch," Berry said. "Yes!" Patch said, all excited.
Sunny was then shown typing up on the laptop. "Have you seen the paint?" Berry asked. "Third cupboard near the stairs," Sunny answered. "Thanks! What are you doing?" Berry asked. "Spot has no idea what present to get Crumbs, so it looks like I'll have to find it," Sunny answered. "What are you going to get?" Berry asked. "Not sure. What do you get someone who's turning 22?" Sunny asked. "What about-" Berry asked. "Aha! I got the perfect idea!" Sunny answered as she found something. "Okay!" Berry said as she left the scene. Sunny got another notification on her phone and took a look. "Oh, come on, people!" Sunny said. "What now?" Berry asked. "Jewel! She doesn't know what to write on the birthday card!" Sunny answered. "Oh," Berry said. "I don't suppose-" Sunny was about to ask. "Sorry, but I'm already doing the decorations," Berry answered. "Fine, I'll write the card," Sunny said.
The cake was all set up at Crumbs' house, as Berry, Sunny, and all the Lalaloopsy friends gathered around at the table, staying quiet. Even Crumbs' friend Marla was there too. "Shhh! Hurry up! She's going to be here soon!" Berry said. "This is so exciting!" Dot said. Crumbs then arrived. "Ooh, here she comes! On the count of three! One, two," Berry said. "Happy birthday, Crumbs Sugar Cookie!" the Lalaloopsies all said together. "Thanks, girls!" Crumbs said. "We made you a cake!" Sunny said. "And there's decorations!" Berry added. "And we got you a present!" Dot added. "And we wrote a card! Well, I wrote the card! You want me to read it to you?" Berry asked. "Sure thing!" Crumbs answered. "Happy birthday, Crumbs Sugar Cookie! Thanks for making some of the best sweet treats out there!" Berry read off the card.
"Thanks so much for the party! Love the decorations you got!" Crumbs said. Crumbs blew out the candles from the cake, as the Lalaloopsies cheered for her, and then the cake was cut up into pieces for everybody to share. "Mmm, this cake sure is delicious!" Marla said as she had some. "I love it too! One of my favorite flavors! Thanks for making it!" Crumbs said. "I helped with the cake!" Berry said. "You did?" Crumbs asked. "Sure did!" Berry answered. "I thought it turned out well! Sorry I couldn't make it, but you did a great job nonetheless!" Dot said. "Thanks!" Berry said. "I do love all kinds of cake, and this one sure did it for the party!" Crumbs said as she ate her piece up. "And the card turned out well too! Thanks for helping write that, Berry!" Jewel said.
"And I got the present!" Spot said as she brought that in, and Crumbs opened it. It was a paint set just for her. "Thanks, Spot! I love this present! I can paint pictures of what I cook up!" Crumbs said. "No problem! Glad you liked it!" Spot said. Crumbs went to unwrapping the rest of her presents. "Thanks so much for the presents! What a great birthday I had!" Crumbs said. "Glad we could all help out and be here!" Candle said. "And we all loved the cake too!" Dot said. "I still do have some whipped cream in the fridge, if anyone wants to have that!" Crumbs said. "Ooh, nice thinking there! At least you didn't forget about that!" Spot said. Crumbs opened up the fridge, and started serving some up for the Lalaloopsies, as the episode ended right here. Looks like this party was a success, and Crumbs didn't forget the most important thing in the end!
