Donkey Kong heads to [[Bluster Barrelworks]], where he eavesdrops on a discussion between [[Bluster Kong|Bluster]] and [[Candy Kong|Candy]]. Candy tells him that she gets goosebumps by hearing you say those words," and Bluster replies by saying, "You know that I need you now more than ever." DK thinks that Candy has cheated on him, and he charges in, but slips on a lone barrel. He falls into Bluster, causing him to fly onto the conveyer belt and be hit by the barrel approval hammer, knocking him into a large pile of barrels; the stack then falls over onto Bluster. Donkey Kong demands an explanation for the conversation he heard outside, and the two explain that Candy was getting a raise by working overtime and completing their largest order ever; because the order was destroyed by Donkey Kong, Bluster decides to revoke Candy's raise. The two then chase off Donkey Kong, like Cranky did earlier.

Out in the jungle, Diddy Kong is tossing around his lucky ball by himself when Donkey Kong runs up, asking Diddy to throw it to him. Diddy denies at first, telling him that it is his lucky ball, but Donkey Kong promises that he will throw it back. Diddy throws it to him, and he catches it; DK tries to throw it back as hard as he can, but slips and Accidentally throws it across the island. Diddy is angered by this, angrily turns his face red and stomp on his hat and storms off, asking "why couldn't you have disappeared forever instead of my ball?" on the way off. Meanwhile, at his lab, K. Rool is watching everything. He lowers the platform he is on, while Diddy's lucky ball bounces into the lair, to be caught by him.

Donkey Kong is back at his house and is vacuuming when he hits his tire swing; the tire swings back and hits him, knocking him to the ground in front of his mirror. He asks himself why everybody is mad at him but decides that "any problem can be solved with a little nap!" It is night time when DK is awakened; Diddy enters the apartment on the elevator and asks what he is doing at his house, waking the ape. A startled Donkey Kong is then told that that night is the annual "Future Ruler of Kongo Bongo Banana Barbeque Dinner," and DK was to be the guest of honour. Donkey states that he forgot and tries to get Diddy to tell everyone he was fighting evil, but he is led onto his balcony, where everyone is on the ground and expresses their anger toward him. They then tell him that they will continue their lives as though he does not exist.

As Donkey and Eddie float through the jungle, DK asks Eddie what happened. Eddie once again explains that the island is different without Donkey Kong. They then see Diddy with Cranky and Funky, the leader telling his minions that, in an hour, they will launch a full-scale attack on K. Rool. Donkey asks what they should do, with Eddie replying, "Go for snow cone?" and he asks Eddie (in song) to allow him to exist, but Eddie says no. Eventually, Eddie is convinced and allows DK to exist, though he falls out of the sky, and seconds later slips on a banana.

He travels to the barrelworks once more, thinking Candy will help him, though he finds both she and Bluster affectionately hugging outside. They notice DK and ask who he is, though Donkey tries to jog their memories. She tells Candy all the things she did for him, but this only succeeds in making Bluster jealous (despite Candy's pleas of not knowing who he is) and he flies away in his helicopter, telling her that they are through. Candy is angry at Donkey (who states that he is happy with what happened) until Diddy arrives, asking where Bluster and his helicopter are. Candy explains what happened, and Diddy is angered that he cannot "[...]attack the enemy in a helicopter!" Both monkeys then state their hatred for DK, and as the two argue over their amount of hatred, he leaves, realizing that Kongo Bongo has not changed back to the way it was before.

He runs to [[Funky's Flights]] and asks for Funky's help, though he does not know him either. DK tells him that "We were friends in another life," and Funky is excited to know someone who "[...]speaks my language!" DK explains that he needs a friend, and Funky allows him to be his. He then tries to explain to Funky that he was a ghost, and tries to show him an example by punching his plane; however, he is no longer transparent, and instead puts a hole in it. Funky is now angry, and Donkey runs away from him.

'''Diddy:''' ''Jeepin' jungleberries! How can I be an evil ruler if I can't attack the enemy in a helicopter? Oh, that's so unfair. I ''hate'' that, and I ''hate'' you!''<br>
'''Candy:''' ''Not as much as I do.''<br>
'''Diddy:''' ''I'm telling you, Candy, I hate him more.''<br>

'''DK:''' ''Funky! You have to help me!''<br>
'''Funky:''' ''Do I know you, dude?''<br>
'''DK:''' ''Uh, we were friends in another life?''<br>
'''Funky [hugging DK]:''' ''Finally, somebody who speaks my language. Welcome, bro. What's shakin'?''<br>
'''DK:''' ''Things aren't what they seem around here, and I need a friend.''<br>
'''Funky:''' ''The Funkman is your karma companion.''<br>
'''DK:''' ''You're never going to believe this, but first I was me, good old Donkey Kong, and then suddenly I was, like, this floating invisible thing.''<br>
'''Funky:''' ''I've been there, dude.''<br>
'''DK:''' ''I could... Well, I could put my fist through things, like this. [punctured a hole in Funky's plane]''<br>
'''Funky [crying]:''' ''Whoa-ho-ho! My plane!''<br>

[DK runs off to the jungle]
==== At the jungle ====
'''Diddy:''' ''Dumb old Bluster takes his dumb old helicopter, leaving me standing here with nothing to use to attack those worthless lizards so I can achieve '''''world domination'''''! (Donkey Kong runs into him)<br>
'''DK:''' ''Hey, little buddy. Are you okay?''<br>
'''Diddy:''' ''Little buddy? ''Little'' buddy? '''Do I look little to you?'''''<br>
'''DK:''' ''Sorry. Uh, nothing personal. It's just that I used to call you that when we were friends.''<br>
'''Diddy:''' ''We were friends?''<br>
'''DK:''' ''See this?''<br>
'''Diddy:''' ''That's my ball. You can't take my ball! Give me my ball.''<br>
'''DK:''' ''Sure thing. It's just that we used to play catch with this. Come on. One more time for old times' sake.''<br>
'''Diddy:''' ''We don't have any old times, and I'm not that thrilled with the new times. Now, give me my ball.''<br>
[Donkey Kong tries to throw it back to Diddy, but slips and accidentally throws it across the island]
'''DK:''' ''Sorry about that.''<br>
'''Diddy [screaming]:''' ''You lost my ball! [crying] When I finally capture the papier-mâché lily pad and rule the world, I'll get you for this! (Donkey Kong runs off)''<br>
