- Square Watermelon (debut)
Plot[]
In the lounge, G proclaims that their headlining concert is going to be the best one ever and also their first. They had a nice catering table set up, that is, until Angel accidentally falls backwards into it after hearing about "square watermelon". The girls agree that everything has gone perfect so far, even Rudie hasn't ruined the fun yet. Unfortunately for the girls, Rudie does pop up and attempt to tell them that there is a small detail that was left uncheck, however the girls ignore him and make haste towards the venue.
The crowd goes wild! All 1 of them!
On stage, the girls introduce themselves to a staggering amount of audience members. Well, just Rudie who pretends to be several different fans. G confronts him, but he sort of beats around the bush. He mentions it was sold out so he goes to check with the booking agent while the girls notice that there was some trace of an audience here. The girls deduce that they left before it got started and hope nothing bad as happened to them (such as an alien abduction from "square watermelon"). Angel suggest they went to the beach to play beach blanket bingo.
Still discussing about the square watermelon invasion, Baby is enamored by a giant stuffed panda bear. G searches for signs of life but ends up not finding anything. Love notices a giant rip in the bear and mentions that it could be an interdemensional portal but Baby innocently hugs it, and is sucked right into the bear. Music bravely goes in after her. The girls agree to split up but the bear starts moving has a life of it's own. The girls decide to venture in after them. While deciding how the girls will split up, the bear stands up and begins moving on it's own.
In the next shot, a girl and her mom are standing over a broken picture frame which the girl blames on the bear. The woman doesn't believe her until she sees the giant panda wandering outside their house leaving the mom speechless and the girl rubbing it in her face. The panda wanders about the city while the girls try to control it, but all they do is end up causing more chaos and destruction. The fabric tears and the panda splits wide up, the girls clamber to the top of the stuffing. Two children stand outside, scolding the girls for ruining their attempt at the "world's largest teddy bear".
Back at the lounge, G feels like there's something missing (besides the audience), but something that will catapult them to super-stardom. The audience is still missing, and there has to be a clue somewhere. The doorbell rings and Music answers, a massive pile of square watermelons topple on top of her, a delivery made specially for Love. Baby manages to find some hats which sparks an idea in Angel. She leads them towards the caves and explains that she heard Baby yell "aha, bats!" when she, in fact, yelled out "aha, hats". Angel sarcastically says atleast they didn't upset anyone that time, but after leaving, two birdwatchers pop out of the bush and talk amongst themselves that they still haven't found a wax wing whispering wipperwillow (the bird the girls unintentionally scared away) which only comes out once every ten years.
The girls walk down the street, depressed, and split to search the entire city. Music checks the mall, Angel searched underwater, G puts up posters all over, and Baby looks under a pillow. Love is seen trying to send a message to the square watermelons. The day has come to an end, and still, no audience has been found. Rudie tries to find a silver lining by saying they're starting a new trend where concerts are preformed without fans. Angel regroups with the girls who unfortunately, haven't found any trace of the audience either.
Another knock at the door prompts a glare from Music to Love, asking if she ordered anymore fruit. When Music opens the door, a group of wild fans trample over her and scare off the other girls and Rudie. One man tells them the janitor said they left their stuff overnight which G corrects them "this morning" but as it turns out, the concert the girls were scheduled for was supposed to happen the night before at 9pm instead of 9am (thanks, once again, to Rudie). He passes it off as no big deal, asking "what's the difference" as the girls angrily exit the lounge. The watermelon hovers in the air and retorts to Rudie that clocks in this dimension are "so primitive", sending him running.

- G: This is going to be our best headlining concert ever.
- Music: Also our first.
- G: True, but check out the super cute catering.
- Baby: Ooh, fruit kitty. And these cupcakes make my sweet tooth twinkle.
- Love: Square watermelons, interesting.
- Baby: Yeah, and crazy kawaii cute!
- Angel: Square watermelon? Aaaah- [Crash] I'm okay, I landed on myself and broke my fall.
- G: Okay, it's showtime, guys. And you know what that means. Tick tock-
- HJ5: Time to rock! [Cheers]
- G: And for once, everything is perfect.
- Music: Yeah, a perfect mess.
- Baby: Yeah, and we haven't been chased by kawaii monster pets.
- Angel: Or kidnapped by super intelligent square watermelons from another dimension. [Beat] That could so totally happen.
- G: Best of all, Rudie hasn't come bursting in here at the last second to say, "Um, guys, there's just one teeny weeny little detail you should know about."
- Rudie: Um, guys, there's just one teeny weeny little detail you should know about.
- G: No, no, no. Cue the music, we're on.
- G: Hello, Harajuku city, and welcome to the show! I'm G!
- Love: I'm Love!
- Angel: I'm Angel!
- Music: I'm Music!
- Baby: And I'm Baby!
- G: We're HJ5, and we're here rock your world! But before we do, let me hear you out there! Come on, Harajuku city, make some noise!
- Rudie: [Whistling], [Howling] Yeah, baby! We love you, HJ5! You girls rock! HJ5 forever! Best live show ever! Uh, can we maybe kill the house lights in here?
- G: Rudie, what's going on here?
- Rudie: I can't speak for everyone, but I for one was just starting to enjoy the show.
- Music: Can't speak for everyone?
- Love: Look around, Rudie.
- Angel: There's nobody here! [Echoing]
- Rudie: I'm here, you're here, that's something. Instead of seeing this place as half-empty, you could see it as half-full.
- Music: Well, I'm seeing it as half-empty. And you know what? The other half? Also empty!
- G: Rudie, where is the audience?
- Rudie: It was sold out, they should be here. I'll go check with the booking agent, don't go anywhere.
- G: I can't believe it, our first concert is sold out and somehow there's no audience here to hear it.
- Love: Well, there definitely was an audience here, because look at all the stuff they left behind.
- G: Hmm.
- G: I don't get it. Why would our audience just up and leave our show before it even started?
- Music: And where are they now?
- Baby: I hope nothing bad happened to them.
- Angel: Maybe they all got sucked through a wormhole to another dimension ruled by intelligent square watermelons.
- Music: Again?
- Love: Assuming an infinite number of alternate universes and realities do exist, it stands to reason that at least one of them would be ruled by super intelligent square watermelons.
- Angel: At least one? I knew it! Or maybe they've all gone down to the beach to play beach blanket bingo. To the beach!
- Love: But what about your theory involving interdimensional square watermelons?
- Angel: The beach sounds like more fun.
- G: Then let's go. If we can find them in the next couple of hours, we can still have our first concert. [To Love] When you find a way to travel to the watermelon dimension, we'll definitely follow up your theory. Deal?
- Love: Deal.
- Love: So far I can't find any evidence to suggest the signs of interdimensional travel. No rip in the fabric of space and time.
- Music: The fabric of space and time? Is that machine-washable or dry clean only?
- G: Look - a crowd. That must be them.
- Music: What are they doing down there?
- Angel: Don't they realize they should be at the convention center right now, smothering us with cheers and adoration?
- G: We need to let them know that it's not too late.
- Music: Okay!
- G: I was gonna use this, but whatever.
- Music: You're missing the concert! You need to get back to the convention center!
- Beachgoer: Concert? You kids are blocking my view of the bicentennial beach balloon festival! I've been waiting my whole life to see it!
- Music: And what a thrilling life it must be.
- Angel: Funny, didn't notice them before.
- Love: Sorry, sir, we'll get out of your way.
- [Screams]
- Angel: Really gotta work on those landings.
- G: So, where do we look now?
- Love: If I was a dimension-hopping watermelon, where would I hide?
- Music: Maybe they just found something better to do.
- Baby: What? There's nothing better to do- ? Ooh, kawaii!
- Music: That's the second biggest teddy bear I've ever seen. [Beat] It's a long story.
- G: Come on, maybe it has something to do with our missing audience. There's nobody here.
- Love: Now that's the portal to a watermelon dimension if I've ever seen one.
- Music: Have you ever seen one?
- Love: Well, no, so I'm forced to concede the fact that it might just be a humongous teddy bear.
- Baby: Humongously kawaii! It's so huggly-wuggly!
- Music: Baby! Hold on!
- G: So our friends just got sucked into a giant teddy bear, huh?
- Love: Our options are either to stand here and watch, or dive in after them.
- Angel: That sounds like a lose-lose proposition if I've ever heard one. Shall we?
- G: Let's split up, we can cover more ground. Music, you go left. Love, you head right.
- Love: Wait, my right or teddy's right?
- Music: Someone remind me, how did we end up in a giant teddy bear?
- Angel: And what is this thing stuffed with? It's all stuffy and itchy!
- Baby: And soft and squishy!
- Angel: I'm outta here!
- Baby: We're moving! But where are we going?
- Angel: I dunno!
- Mom: So let me get this straight, you're saying that your bear broke this?
- Girl: Teddy did it!
- Mom: Right, Teddy just got up on his own and broke the-
- Girl: Told you!
- G: We're going too fast!
- Baby: Left!
- Love: Right!
- HJ5: [Scremaing]
- Angel: That was extreme!
- Girl 2: Extremely annoying!
- Boy: We'd almost finished it, a world record!
- Girl 2: The biggest teddy bear ever built!
- G: Sorry about wrecking your world's biggest teddy bear!
- Music: Second biggest.
- G: You ever get the feeling we're missing something?
- Music: Yeah, an audience.
- G: No, something else. Something that we need to get us to the next level, to the big time.
- Baby: Streamers?
- G: I'll figure it out soon. But for now, we're running out of time. And we're no closer to finding out what happened to our audience.
- Angel: There has to be a clue somewhere.
- Music: Well, if there are any clues, they're not just going to drop into our laps.
- [Knock on the door]
- Deliveryman: Delivery for Love.
- Music: Love!
- Love: Sorry - research.
- Baby: Aha, hats!
- Angel: That's it! Follow me!
- Baby: Pretty!
- G: Yeah, but where are we going?
- Angel: To the caves!
- G: Caves?
- Angel: Yeah, Baby totally came up with the clue. Aha, hats!
- Baby: Oh, yeah! No wait, I said, "Aha, hats," because there were two of them that were exactly the same color.
- G: Let's go.
- Angel: At least we haven't upset anyone this time.
- Birdwatcher 1: This is so upsetting, we've been here for hours and we still haven't seen the incredibly rare wax wing whistling whippowill.
- Birdwatcher 2: But this is where it was spotted for the first time in 10 years.
- Birdwatcher 1: See you in another 10 years.
- Birdwatcher 2: Yep.
- Baby: We'll never find our audience. Bummer-oni.
- Angel: Come on, guys, we owe it to our fans to keep looking. They've got to be somewhere.
- Music: No audience here.
- Angel: Seen an audience anywhere? [Yelps]
- Baby: Where could they be? I know! Nuts.
- Love: Welcome to our dimension. Do you come in peace? On behalf of all Earthlings, I apologize for fruit salad.
- Rudie: Look at it this way, all bands play their shows in front of audiences and crowds and fans. We're boldly pioneering a whole new trend in live musical entertainment - concerts without fans! Pretty soon, everyone will be doing it!
- Angel: Ugh! Don't ask. Any luck?
- G: Nope.
- Baby: No.
- Music: What they said.
- Love: This guy's not talking, either. I'm sure he knows something.
- [Knock on door]
- Music: You haven't ordered any more fruit, have you?
- Janitor: There it is! I really needed this, now I can mop my floors!
- G: This stuff is yours?
- Janitor: Yeah, the janitor said all our stuff was back here. We left it at your concert last night.
- Love: You mean this morning.
- Janitor: No, last night, 9 o'clock PM. The place was packed too, but you you guys were a no-show. It was a real bummer.
- Angel: We missed the concert?
- Baby: Bummer-oni.
- G: You got the time wrong?
- Rudie: Come on, girls, let's not start playing the blame game here.
- G: It was 9 PM evening, not 9 AM morning.
- Rudie: Hey, AM, PM, tomato, tom-ah-to. What's the big deal?
- Square Watermelon: Don't ask me, clocks in this dimension are so primitive.
- Rudie: Do you have reputable representation in this dimension? Call me!
