The Initial P
PaRappa attempts to reconcile two different promises he made with two different friends. First, he tells his buddy PJ and PJ's friend Matt that he'll play basketball with them on this particular day, but also tells Katy and Sunny that he'll go with them to Sister Cone's garage sale. Things get worse when Paula shows up and angers Katy by questioning her fashion sense. Gaster also further ruins PaRappa's day by stealing his bike and the money from the garage sale.
The Theater Will Be Destroyed
Dorothy, who wanted to become friends with Katy, wants to become a dancer once again; however, she feels that she cannot because she is old.
