Plot Synopsis
The episode begins with Diddy and Candy Kong arguing over who should spend the day with Donkey Kong. Candy explains that she should be with him for the day because today is her first day off of work in weeks, but Diddy replies that he has planned to spend time with him already. Despite their arguing, Donkey Kong enjoys being popular. However, he is soon put up to choosing who to spend his day with, and he does not know who to pick. Before he picks anyone, Cranky Kong's hologram appears and angrily demands the ape to show up in his cabin. Donkey Kong slowly heads out of the treehouse, trying to get out of his situation with Diddy and Candy. Once he is gone, Candy and Diddy begin to sing about what Donkey Kong will do with them and why he should spend his time with them.

At the Kremling hideout, King K. Rool asks what General Klump's plan is for getting the Crystal Coconut from the Kongs (whom the crocodile king refers to as "banana-munching mammals"). Klump tells him that it is his "top priority," but King K. Rool simply tells him to "keep it simple." A few moments later, General Klump hesitantly asks King K. Rool if he has any suggestions. King K. Rool commands him to simply see what they are doing, so Klump heads off to spy, after being a little more hesitant.
