[Flip's Food & Fuel: It is a bright, sunny day. Flip and Nacho are sitting at the counter, with Flip showing a map of the world and Nacho drinking a Flippee.] Flip: "Alright Nacho, time to pick a vacation destination. Where should we go to kick back and--" [Nacho belches loudly, letting out a rancid gas cloud. Flip fans it away.] "--let loose?" [Nacho holds up a trash can and chitters excitedly, then he tosses it away.] "Ooh, good idea. We'll go to the place with the best dumpsters!" [Nacho chitters in agreement.] "I'll go see if I can find us a couple of snorkels for dumpster diving!" [heads for the door] [Lincoln and Clyde open the door and enter the shop, and a gust of wind blows into the store as well. The wind blows up to Nacho, who sniffs it and chitters in surprise.] Lincoln: "Hey Flip, what's up?" Flip: "The price of Flippees and my cholesterol. See ya, chiefs." [He walks toward the door, but Nacho runs up and stops him, holding an umbrella and chittering as he points at the sky. He hands Flip the umbrella.] "Take an umbrella? What do you got, brain freeze?" [He hands Nacho the umbrella and steps outside.] "There's not a cloud in the sky, and Patchy Drizzle said it'll be nothing but sunshine today." [Right away, dark clouds roll in and rain pours down. Lincoln, Clyde, and Nacho cringe as Flip is struck by lightning.] Flip:[weakly] "See? Nothing but sunshine!" [He collapses, and Nacho opens the umbrella and holds it over Flip.]
[The next day, Flip is at the counter reading a book.] Lincoln: "Hey, Flip!" [He and Clyde run over.] "We need some advice." Flip: "Always keep your shoes in the freezer. Takes the stink right out." [Lincoln and Clyde look at each other and cringe, as that was not the advice they wanted.] Clyde: "Uh, good to know, but we actually need advice from Nacho." [Flip points toward the Flippee machine. As a customer is filling his cup with blue Flippee juice, Nacho pops out of the top of the machine with a brush and shower cap. The customer walks away as Nacho takes a bath in the Flippee juice, then Lincoln and Clyde walk over.] Lincoln: "Hey, Nacho! We're going on a field trip to the Royal Woods Tar Pits today. We wanted to know how to dress." [Nacho tosses away his supplies and jumps down.] Clyde: "Patchy Drizzle says sunshine again." [He shows his phone, which displays Patchy Drizzle's Forecast as a sunny day with a temperature of 75°.] "But after yesterday, we want a second opinion." [The door to the store opens as a customer leaves, and a gust of wind blows inside toward Nacho. He smells it and imagines several weather types circling above his head. He opens his eyes and chitters, raising his arms and waving them.] Flip:[points to his butt] "Hey, Nacho says, 'Hold onto your keisters, it's gonna be windy'." Clyde: "We'd better bring a light jacket." Lincoln: "Mm-hmm." [The scene cuts to the two holding onto a flagpole at the Royal Woods Tar Pits with dark clouds and strong winds blowing. The winds blow away several of the students who scream in horror. The wind even blows away an elephant, and even Mrs. Bernardo screams as she is blown away. The scene cuts back to Flip and Nacho, who are taken by surprise as Mrs. Bernardo hits the window.] Mrs. Bernardo:[painfully] "Ow. Kate Bernardo does not do her own stunts." [falls to the ground] Flip: "Eh, looks like you got a gift for predicting the weather, just like that groundhog who sees his shadow." [Nacho grins, and Flip gets an idea.] "Hmm, you know, that critter sells a ton of merch just by guessin' the weather one day a year. Imagine how much loot we could make every single day! I think we've found our latest business venture, my rabid little buddy!" [Nacho chitters deviously in agreement.]
[The next day: Lincoln and Clyde approach Flip's Food & Fuel.] Clyde: "Sure glad we listened to Nacho yesterday. I hear kids are still trying to wash off all that tar." [They look up at the shop and see a new banner reading "Flip's Food 'N Forekast".] Lincoln: "'Flip's Food 'N Forekast'? What's going on?" [He and Clyde approach the door, but Flip opens it and knocks them over.] Flip: "Entry fee is 20 bucks." Clyde: "Since when?" Flip: "Since I got a raccoon that predicts the weather! You in or out, chiefs?" [Clyde pays Flip, and he lets the two inside, where they find Tyler and his DJ stand on a stage. Several customers are standing around and chattering, leaving Lincoln and Clyde surprised.] Lincoln: "Wow, looks like everyone found out about Nacho's secret talent." Flip:[He shoves Tyler aside.] "And now, Nacho's got today's forecast!" [The customers cheer as Lincoln and Clyde walk up to the stage. Flip opens the curtains and a spotlight shines on Nacho. As another customer enters, the wind blows into the store. Nacho smells it and visualizes the weather. He opens his eyes and chitters, moving his body as he does so.] Flip: "Nacho says 'Sunny and warm all day'!" [Outside, there are dark rainclouds. They immediately fly away, and the sun comes out.] Patchy Drizzle:[He is showing his forecast via Lori's phone, predicting thunderstorms and a temperature of 55°.]"So bundle up for more gray skies and rain today, Royal Woods!" Lori:[realizing Patchy's forecast is incorrect] "Oh, Patchy, you literally don't have a clue." [Flip, having heard Lori, gets an idea and chuckles. He glances at Nacho, who is giving Tyler an autographed photo of himself.] Flip: "Hey Nacho, forget about the Food 'N Forekast. I think I have a way for us to make even more money." [He and Nacho laugh sinisterly and fist bump.]
[Royal Woods News Station: Katherine Mulligan gives a report on a spilled ice cream truck.] Katherine Mulligan: "This is Katherine Mulligan. Traffic was backed up for miles on I-75 when an ice cream truck collided with a marshmallow truck. Talk about a rocky road!" [chuckles] "And now for the weather, with our very own Patchy Drizzle!" [The screen pans to Patchy at the weather report wall.] Patchy Drizzle: "Thanks, Katherine. I'm seeing a cold front coming in from the east..." [A hooked cane slides in front of him.] "And a hook coming in from the west?" [He is pulled away.] Katherine Mulligan:[She is given a cue card by a producer and reads it in bewilderment.] "I've just been handed some breaking news: Patchy Drizzle has been fired. Say hello to our new weather...man... Nacho." [The camera pans back to the weather report wall, where Nacho is now dressed in a suit. He chitters hello and pulls out a winter coat, then he tosses it over to Katherine, who falls out of her chair. She gets up and has the coat wrapped around her.] "I believe he's saying it's going to be cold--" [A snowball hits her in the face.] "--and snowy today." [Nacho chuckles deviously, then he glances at Flip, who gives him a thumbs-up.]
TWO WEEKS LATER [Patchy Drizzle is now working at Flip's Food & Fuel, much to his disappointment.] Flip: "Hey Drizzle Boy, I hired ya 'cause I felt sorry for ya. But I ain't payin' ya to stand around!" Patchy Drizzle:[He sighs, then stands and salutes.] "Right, boss." [He grabs a microphone, then the scene cuts to the customers as he speaks over it.] "Attention, customers: We've got a stormfront of Nacho-themed snacks coming in!" [He reveals the snacks one by one to the customers.] "There's Nacho Flippees, Nacho jerky, and of course, Nacho nachos! And don't forget the Nacho plushies!" [He holds one up.] Customers: "Aww!" [Patchy pulls the string on the plushie, and it squeaks in Nacho's voice. Just then, there's more chittering as the real Nacho enters the store. The customers gather around him, one taking pictures and another holding a photo.] Customer: "Nacho! Nacho!" [Nacho autographs the photo and walks off, blowing kisses to his fans.] Kid: "Weather is cool!" Flip: "There's my favorite meteorraccoonologist!" [rubs Nacho's head] "I got a big surprise for you!" [Nacho squeaks excitedly.] "No, it's not about our vacation. We can't take a break when you're this hot." [He places a cap saying "I ♡ NJ" on Nacho's head.] "Surprise! I got you a new gig. The president of New Jersey called, looking for a weather critter like that groundhog in Pennsylvania." [Nacho is stunned.] "I made an incredible deal to turn ordinary Nacho into... Newark Nacho!" [Patchy Drizzle pushes a box full of more plushies, and the label on the box reads "Newark Nacho". Flip grabs one plushie, dressed exactly as Nacho currently is dressed, and pulls the string, and it squeals.] "That's raccoon for, 'Forget about it!'" [Nacho is surprised, but Patchy suddenly gets excited.] Patchy Drizzle: "Does that mean my old job is available?" [rips off his apron] "There's a 100% chance I'm off to grovel!" [He runs away in excitement, then Nacho chitters at Flip.] Flip: "No, I'm not going to Jersey with ya. I gotta stay here and run the Food & Fuel." [Nacho chirps sadly, but Flip silences him.] "Ah, you'll be fine without me. This deal is just too good for us to pass up, buddy. We're gonna be rich!" [As he runs off, Nacho is about to say something, but realizing Flip won't listen to him, he doesn't say anything.] ONE WEEK LATER [Flip signs a mailman's form as "Flep", and he is dressed like a businessman.] Flip: "Cha-ching!" [A cash register bell chimes and Flip's eyes light up with dollar signs.] "More Newark Nacho moolah for ol' Flip! You know the drill, pal." [The mailman motions for a dump truck to reverse. It dumps a large pile of cash onto Flip, then Newark Nacho Plushies fall down the screen as it transitions.]
[Flip returns to the store with a sunburn and summer clothes.] Flip: "Ahh, buyin' that cruise ship was worth every penny!" [He pours a Flippee for himself.] "Hey Nacho, bring Daddy some jerky wi--" [remembers] "Oops." [He chuckles and gets it himself. But then he notices the mugshot of Nacho on the bag, and then he glances toward the wall. He has a dollar framed with a plaque reading "First Dollar", then a photo of Nacho swiping the frame with Flip angrily chasing him with its plaque reading "First Stolen Dollar". Flip touches the photo, then he notices all the other Newark Nacho merchandise within the store. Flip sighs sadly, tosses away the jerky and his sunglasses, and then goes to sit in his chair. As he does, he hears Nacho's chirping and gets excited...] "Nacho?" [...but realizes it was a plushie that made the noise. Flip pulls the string, and it chirps. Flip becomes teary-eyed and whimpers as he drops the plushie.] [Outside, Lincoln and Clyde walk by, but they are taken by surprise to hear Flip crying. They hurry inside.] Lincoln: "Uh, Flip?" Clyde: "Is everything okay?" Flip:[grabs Clyde] "I SENT MY BEST FRIEND AWAY FOR MONEY, AND NOW I MISS HIM!" [He shakes Clyde roughly and lets him go as he keeps crying. Lincoln catches Clyde, who is dizzy.] Lincoln: "Why don't you call Nacho and tell him that? I bet he misses you, too." Clyde:[shakes out his dizziness] "Yeah, Dr. Lopez always says that expressing your feelings is the expressway to healing." Flip:[sniffles] "It's kinda corny, but I like it." [He grabs his phone and dials Nacho.] "It's ringing!" [Nacho chitters, and then a beep is heard, so Flip sadly hangs up.] "He let me go to voicemail. He must really be mad at me for sending him away." Lincoln:[thinks] "Hey, how about we call the Newark Newsroom? I bet we can reach him there." [Flip smiles and dials the number for the Newark News Hotline. The screen splits to Flip and the Newark news reporter, who answers the phone.] Newton: "Newark Newsroom: I'm Newton, the new News Guy." Flip: "Newark Nacho, please!" Newton: "Aw, you just missed him. He's on his way to the airport." Flip: "Is he flying back to Royal Woods?" Newton: "Nah, he's going to Europe! He was offered the big bucks to become Norway Nacho. I don't speak raccoon that well, but I think he said something about his best friend caring more about money than him." [Flip is shocked.] "Oh, that guy sounds like a real jerk if you ask me." [Flip hangs up to Newton's confusion.] Flip: "I didn't ask, but he's right: I messed up big time. Now I'm never gonna see my best friend ever again." Lincoln: "You can't give up, Flip. You didn't quit when the FDA told you that you couldn't sell expired gas as salad dressing, and you shouldn't quit now. Not when it's your best friend." Flip: "You're right!" [puts on an aviator hat] "We're goin' to New Jersey!" Lincoln and Clyde:[nervously glance at each other] "'We'?" Flip: "You betcha! You guys are good at this touchy-feely stuff!" [The scene cuts to Lincoln and Clyde riding in Flip's decrepit biplane uncomfortably, with Flip piloting it.] Flip: "Also, I need you to show me where New Jersey is, I got no clue."
[Newark Airport: Flip's biplane flies over the airport, with Lincoln and Clyde looking for Nacho through binoculars. Lincoln notices a jet with mobile stairs next to it, and he sees Nacho boarding the plane. The flight attendant closes the door after he gets on.] Lincoln: "Did you see that? Nacho just got on that plane." Flip: "Hold on, boys!" [He pushes the control stick forward, and the biplane dives for the ground. Lincoln and Clyde scream.] Controller:[loudspeaker]"Flight 401, you're clear for departure to Norway." [Nacho's plane prepares to take off. Flip sees it and determinedly flies down toward it as Lincoln and Clyde scream. Just as the plane's wheels lift off the ground, Flip's biplane drops down in front of it and the jet falls back to the runway. Flip's biplane bounces along the ground and stops at the end of the runway, leaving Lincoln and Clyde dizzy and nauseous. But just then, they see Nacho's jet heading straight for them. Lincoln and Clyde scream in fear and duck... but the plane comes to a stop.] Clyde: "This did not help with my fear of flying." [gets dizzy and faints] [Flip jumps out of the biplane and runs toward the jet, where Nacho is seen sitting by the window.] Flip: "Nacho!" [Nacho notices Flip, then he runs to the plane door and opens it as Flip runs up.] "Nacho! Don't go to Norway! I, uh... I-uh..." Clyde: "You can do it, Flip! Say what's in your heart!" Flip: "Um... Look, Nacho, I-I was wrong to ever send you away! All the money in the world doesn't matter if I don't have my best friend with me! Please, come back to Royal Woods!" [tears up] [Nacho thinks for a second, but then he walks back inside the plane. Flip gets sad and begins to walk away... But then Nacho chitters and throws his suitcase at Flip. He looks up and sees Nacho tearing off his suit and squealing happily, then he jumps down to Flip.] Flip: "Nacho!" [Nacho lands on him, and the two hug.] "Ooh..." [Lincoln and Clyde smile at seeing Flip and Nacho reunite.] "Come on, let's go home. We got a five-star dumpster vacation to plan!" [Nacho chitters and points toward the sky again...] "Ah-ah-ah, I promise, you'll never have to do the weather again." [hugs Nacho] [The scene cuts to Flip's biplane, which is caught in a heavy thunderstorm while flying back to Royal Woods.] Flip: "I probably should've waited till I got home before I said that." [He wipes water out of his goggles and chuckles nervously.] [Nacho is in the second seat holding the umbrella while Lincoln and Clyde huddle together in the back, and they giggle together. Flip is suddenly struck by lightning again, and the screen irises out on the plane, ending the episode.]
