Plot

The episode begins with G giving the girls instructions on what specific tasks they're in charge of for Baby's birthday. Love shows off her unfinished gift when Rudy pops in and introduces his nephew, Jimmy, who is the treasurer of his high school A.V club and an aspiring photographer.

Rudy promises that in exchange for shooting a music video, Jimmy can ask one of the girls to go to the prom with him, much to their disgust. Love shows Rudie the gift she was preparing and mentions that it's not finished yet. Rudie desperately convinces the girls to shoot a music video, by explaining all the hard work he did. The girls agree that Baby comes first and head towards the Kawaiimobile while Rudie and Jimmy trail behind.

Baby comes down the slide and greets everyone, until she realizes she's all alone. She notices the nicely wrapped present on the table, and takes a peek at what could be inside.

A small birthday card pops up with a warning that says "do not open until we give it to you". Despite the warning, Baby tears the bow off the gift, releasing what's inside. A yellow Rainbowdian is unleashed and introduces herself as Yellow. She proceeds to announce to Baby that it's her birthday. He asks her if she wants to celebrate and, after careful consideration, agrees. As they run off to have fun, the rest of the colors of the rainbows explode out of the present as well.

The girls, after hours of prep, return to their home to find the place completely littered with splashes of color. Love notices her opened gift and tells the girls that the Rainbowdians have escaped. It was supposed to be a portal rainbow, but the colors didn't have time to stabilize before Baby opened it. The colors are described as being "volatile" and are not able to cooperate together. Each color takes a different amount of conditions to properly stabilize. G leads the girls to the find the colors and agree to meet up at the mall before any more damage is done. Meanwhile, the birthday celebration is just getting started as Yellow and Baby compliment each other about being perfect and decide to give each other makeovers.

Two other colors, Orange and Blue, are seen fighting over the color of the ocean before Green joins them. Music attempts to stop them, but the colors decide to work together and user her as a canvas. Love politely asks them to go back into the box, but another argument between the colors ensue.

Love mentions that they will get nowhere unless they work together with Yellow. With that being said, Green and Orange resume fighting as Blue runs away in tears. Colonel Spyke, rolling up in a tank, questions what's going on. After a quick explanation she offers to assist the girls. Orange sprays the tank, turning it orange and angering Spyke who goes to shoot it with a monochrome cannon. Colonel Spyke continues her pursuit on the colors while Rudy and Jimmy, hiding in a nearby bush, burst with excitement over the action they just caught.

Baby unveils her outfit to Yellow who mentions something is missing and changes her dress to all yellow. They hear the sound of a carnival outside, so they agree to go there next. Violet and Indigo are seen fighting and G invites them to help throw a party. At first they disagree until G mentions that anyone could hardly tell them apart and they become friendly, throwing each other compliments. Colonel Spike, after seeing the display of affection, reveals she had captured Red who was painting all the traffic signs red. Music and Love managed to round up Yellow and Green, while Angel brings in Blue right after. The only two things that are missing are Yellow and Baby.

At the carnival, Yellow and Baby are enjoying the ride, until Baby admits she is still feeling lonely. She mentions it's not a birthday without her friends, who happen to show up with all the other colors.

They all buckle themselves in and enjoy the ride, the acceleration from spinning causes the colors to morph together and turn into a spectacular rainbow and fly away. Rudy asks Jimmy if he caught that on camera, but notices he went straight over to Colonel Spyke and asked her to go to the prom. Initially she scolds him, but agrees to go with him if he washes her tank. Rudie, proud of his nephew, hovers over with the video recorder but crashes off-screen.

At the party, Baby exclaims that it's the best birthday ever and rushes over to open her gift. The rainbow appears and illuminates the entire room and the girls share a group hug while Rudie, still hanging on to video camera, crashes in the background, leaving the girls laughing.

G: Angel, food.

Angel: Right.

G: Music, music.

Music: That's redundant, and yes, I'm on it.

G: Love, gift.

Love: Yes, I am gifted, thank you. Oh, you mean our birthday present for Baby. Don't worry, it's here. Been working on it for weeks.

Angel: Ooh, what did we get her?

Love: Wait! It's not quite ready for presentation just yet.

[Doors open]

Rudie: Are you girls ready for your close-ups? Meet my nephew Jimmy - he's treasurer of his high school's AV club and is the top cameraman who's related to me and that I don't have to pay.

Jimmy: Uncle Rudie promised that if shoot this music video I could take one of you to my prom.

HJ5: What?

Rudie: Now, now, Jimmy, I promised you could ask them to your prom.

Jimmy: Will you go to my prom with me?

G: No.

Jimmy: Will you go to my prom with me?

Love: Negative

Jimmy: Will you go to my prom with me?

Angel: Ew, no!

Jimmy: Will you go to my prom with me?

Music: No way.

Rudie: Great. Now that that's all settled we can focus back on shooting the music video.

G: Uh, Rudie, we're in the middle of planning Baby's perfect birthday party.

Angel: It's a surprise.

Rudie: Well, what a coinkydink; I've got a surprise too - you all get to shoot a music video, today! Surprise! Jimmy, start shooting.

Jimmy: We are rolling!

Music: Sorry, Rudie, not today.

G: Baby is always there for us; we owe her this party.

Love: Plus, I made her this present. It's her all-time favorite thing.

Rudie: Ooh, can I have a peek?

Love: No, it's not ready yet.

Rudie: Okay, look, as the greatest manager in the world, it is my job to get your name out there. I worked super hard setting this up. I even made phone calls during which I spoke with actual people, not just text messages, mind you. Plus, Jimmy really needs the extra credit.

Jimmy: And a date for prom.

Rudie: See? How can you resist?

G: It's hard, but sorry, Baby's birthday comes first. Okay, listen up, girls - we still have a ton-tastic amount of prep before the party starts, so follow me to the Kawaii-mobile.

Rudie: Whoaaah! I hate it when they do that. Come on, after them; and make sure you keep them in focus.

Baby: Happy HJ-Hello, everybody! Don't worry, Baby's right...here. Hmm- [Gasp] Ahh! What could this be? A present for somebody's birthday? Top secret: Do not open until we tell you to. This means you, Baby. Love, your BFFs. Aww, that's so sweet, but they know how much I can't keep a secret. So when they say don't open it, what they really mean is open it as fast as you can.

[Box opens]

Yellow: Hi, I'm Yellow!

Baby: [Gasp] Yellow! Just what I always wanted! My name's Baby!

Yellow: That's a cute name! Today is my birthday!

Baby: Get out! It's my birthday too!

Yellow: Wanna celebrate?

Baby: Well, I wanted to celebrate with my BFFs, but since they're not here, yeah! Why not?

Yellow: [Laughs]

[Colors come whirling out of the box]

Angel: Any sign of Baby?

Love: Nope, the coast is clear.

G: Oh my gosh, look at the lounge!

Music: Okay, who vandalized it and why wasn't I invited?

Love: [Gasp] Oh no, it's the Rainbowdians! They've all escaped!

Angel: The who-what-ians did what?

Love: Our present? For Baby? I made her a transmuting light refractionator!

Music: Uh, once again, please?

Love: A portable rainbow.

Angel: Baby loves rainbows!

G: What a great idea!

Love: Well, it was a great idea, but somebody opened the box before all the colors had time to settle into a stable bow-shaped configuration.

G, Angel, Music: Baby.

Love: None other.

G: So she started the party a little early. We just need to find her and bring her back here.

Love: It's not that easy. The prismolecular quadruplator requires a certain amount of time and force for all the colors to fully stabilize and coagulate.

Music: Meaning?

Love: Meaning that all the different colors are volatile; they don't know how to work together yet. If we don't get them all back together, the entire color spectrum as we know it could be destroyed forever. Pink could become green, black could become red; we could be facing a full-on color-tastrophe!

Music: It'll be color anarchy. I kinda dig it.

G: Okay, we can fix this. We need to find all the missing rainbow colors and Baby, then let's meet up back at the mall.

Baby: Love those shoes.

Yellow: Love that color.

Baby: Me too. In fact, I love all the colors, but you are the best.

Yellow: I bet you say that to all the colors.

Baby: No, just you. Of course, you're the only color I've ever met, but still, you're perfect.

Yellow: And I think you're perfect too. So what do two perfect girls do next on their birthday?

Baby: I know!

Both: Makeovers!

[Zap]

Blue: Oh, no! What have you done to the beautiful blue ocean? Put it back!

Orange: Hmph!

Blue: [Grunts]

Orange: Oh, boo-hoo, blue schmue! Blue oceans are so over.

Blue/Orange: [Grunts]

Love: Oh, great, they're in a color war.

Music: Not for long. I'll handle this.

Blue: Blue!

Orange: Orange!

[Zap]

Green: How about green?

Music: Do colors cry? Let's find out.

Blue, Orange, Green: No! [Zap]

Love: [Giggle] How do you like color anarchy now?

Music: I think I'm gonna cry.

Love: Step aside, let me try. Okay, Rainbowdians, would you mind getting back into this box, please? It's kind of important.

Green: Sure!

Orange: No!

Green: He always disagrees with everything I say!

Orange: No, I don't!

Green: [Sigh] Like I always tell Yellow, orange is the new difficult.

Love: Okay, I see what's going on here. Yellow is the base to your chromatic acid, the emulsifying agent to your polypigment proteins. Without her, you'll never achieve balance.

Green: I have no idea what she just said.

Blue: Color me confused.

Music: You need to learn to work together, that's what she's talking about.

Orange: We can work together, as long as we do it my way. [Grunts]

Green: [Grunts]

Orange: Aah!

Blue: [Bawling]

Colonel Spyke: What in the name of Alpha Bravo Charlie is going on here?

Music: Oh hey, Colonel Spyke. Just your average, everyday little color war.

Colonel Spyke: Oh, good! Gives me an excuse to test out my new tank. [Zap] How dare you change the color of my tank without authorization? Engaging color war defensive tactics! Setting monochrome cannon for black and white!

Music: No, Colonel Spyke!

Love: We need to get all the colors back together, not blast them apart!

Colonel Spyke: Sorry, I got orders. Come on, after them!

Rudie: Tell me you got all that!

Jimmy: Sure did, Uncle Rudie.

Baby: Ta-da! Cute, right?

Yellow: Hmm, I dunno. Something's missing.

Baby: My friends?

Yellow: [Zap] Perfect.

Baby: [Gasp] It's like sunshine on a cloudy day! I love it!

Yellow: Hear that? A carnival! Let's go!

Baby: Yaaay!

Indigo: [Zap] Everyone knows that indigo is better than violet.

Violet: You're so hurtful! What've I ever done to you?

G: Alright, you two, that's enough. I need your help throwing a party.

Violet: A party? Will she be there?

Indigo: Not if you are.

G: Really? Because I hate to break it to you, but most people can't even tell you apart.

Indigo/Violet: That's ridiculous!/That's absurd.

Violet: I mean, just look at Indigo - so lush, so exotic, so theatrical.

Indigo: Oh, stop it. Look at you - you're totally divine, like a spring flower on a dewy morning.

Violet: Oh, please, you're prettier.

Indigo: No, you are.

Indigo/Violet: Awww!

Colonel Spyke: What is this, some kind of hippie love fest? I caught the red one, he was making the whole city crazy by turning all the traffic lights red.

Music: Here's two more.

G: Whoah, nice work, girls!

Love: Thanks! But Music's really the one who talked them into getting along.

G: Rock on, Music! How'd you do it?

Music: We had a nice long talk.

Angel/Blue: [Laughing]

Blue: That has got to be the funniest joke I've ever heard.

Angel: Actually, it's the first joke you've ever heard.

Blue: That's true.

Colonel Spyke: Okay, mission accomplished. We've got all the colors back together.

Love: Not quite. We're still missing Yellow.

G: And Baby. Found 'em.

Baby/Yellow: [Playing]

Yellow: Again, again!

Baby: I can't.

Yellow: Too much ice cream?

Baby: Too much lonely. No offense, it's just... it's not a birthday without-

Music: Us?

Baby: [Gasp] All my friends!

G: Happy birthday, Baby.

Baby: Yeah! Now it's a real ride!

Love: Hang on, it's gonna get bumpy. But it just might work: We need to keep all the colors on the ride and set it for overdrive.

G: Hit it!

[Laughing]

Love: The centrifugal forces should bind all the shapes together in a fully-stabilized color spectrum.

HJ5: Whoaaah!

[Rainbow looms]

Rudie: Fantastic! What an ending! Jimmy, tell me you got that!

Jimmy: Hey, Colonel? Will you go to the prom with me?

Colonel Spyke: Young man, asking a high-ranking military official to a high school dance is way out of line!

Jimmy: Well, I just-

Colonel Spyke: But I'll overlook this transgression if you wash my tank. Come to the base at 1900 hours sharp.

Jimmy: Ma'am, yes, ma'am!

Rudie: Way to go, Jim-ster! Whoaa- [Crash]

Baby: This is the best birthday ever!

Music: Right?

Love: Are you ready to open your gift?

Baby: [Gasp] Can I, can I, can I?

Love: I'll take that as a yes.

[Rainbow looms]

Baby: Oh... my own personal rainbow! I love it!

HJ5: Aww!

Rudie: Whoaaa-! A little help? [Crash]

[Laughter]
