Plot
Kate, her faithful dog Magic, and her father Peter were getting ready to eat at the patio of a local restaurant. When Peter leaves to wash his hands, both Kate and Magic notice a chubby girl named Molly, who was seen eating two pops of gelato. The girl’s parents tell her that it is not good for her to constantly eat sweets over a healthier diet, but she states that she can’t help herself. Just then, another Friendship Trail flies into the sky, causing Molly’s face to appear on the Friendship Heart. Just as Kate and Magic were about to discuss about choosing the right pet for Molly, Peter comes back as the waiter brings over their order of spaghetti. Kate asks Peter if they can put their food in a to-go box so they can watch television at their house as they eat.

Back in Kate’s room, Kate and Magic prepare to teleport back to Pocketville. However, Magic complains that they haven’t finished eating, but Kate assures him that they will eat later.

In the Ever Grey Swamp, Eva was picking vegetables and placing them in a basket so she could use them for a certain ailment. Zull and Gort approach her as they were about tell her something, but Krakia flies over to show Eva the pet that was appearing on the half of the Friendship Heart, which was tied around her own neck instead of Eva’s. Due to her being overprotective of the fragment, Eva attacks the crow, but Krakia told her that she was only giving the jewel to her. When the Siamese takes a look at the jewel, she immediately recognized the pet: a hamster named Goldie who works as a chef at the Bear Inn. Eva then tells her two canine lackeys to slice the vegetables she picked, which was the first part of her plan.

Kate and Magic teleport to Pocketville. At the Royal Suite, they, along with the four Royal Guards, tried to consult the Pocketpedia on where they will find Molly’s ideal pet, but the book is somehow not responding. William explains that Princess Ava is the one who can make it work properly, and Kate replies that she hasn’t seen their monarch around as of late. Magic tells the quartet that Kate hasn’t ate much since she got to Pocketville, and Danny was surprised because he would usually eat quite a lot: two breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. As Kate states that she is a little hungry, the Pocketpedia finally activates, revealing a page with a picture of the Bear Inn.

The group of six arrive at the Inn, where they are greeted by the head bear of the restaurant. Just as Danny and Magic were about to order something, William tells them that they are not there to eat, but to find out who will be Molly’s pet. Just as Kate, Danny, and Magic caught the scent of what they thought was chocolate, the bear tells them that it is indeed not chocolate, but a healthy meal cooked by Goldie, who appears to the group. Goldie explains that healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables can be just as delicious as sweets. This reminds Kate of Molly, whom she and Magic saw back at the Big City, and the girl tells Goldie that she is the ideal pet. Of course, Goldie turns excited, but Danny is concerned over if the Inn closes. However, the bear assures him that his restaurant will stay open, as he will find another pet who can cook just as well, and that he can cook too. Goldie then prepares to cook her one last meal: her signature soup, for everyone who dines at the Inn. Just as Danny and Magic celebrate because they were about to eat, Balloon tells the group that they still have to find a Magic Drop for the Friendship Ceremony. The group will have to be quick, so they can return just in time to eat Goldie’s soup for lunch.

In the kitchen, Goldie places ingredients in the pot. When she was finished, she leaves to set the tables as she waits for the stew to boil. However, the window was somehow left open. Eva and her gang sneak in with their own ingredients, which they place in the pot without Goldie’s knowledge.

Outside in the patio, Kate, Magic, and the Royal Guards were all seated at a table, each with a bowl of Goldie’s stew in front of them. Everyone thanks Goldie, who was perched on Kate’s shoulder like a parrot, for preparing the soup for them. Just as the group of six were digging in, they all suddenly felt drowsy, and end up being put to sleep. Eva and her gang were about to take the collar with the Friendship Heart, but Goldie used her quick instincts to snatch the collar before Eva laid a claw on it. The gang were curious on why Goldie wasn’t asleep, but the hamster explained that she taste tested the stew before they added their sleep-inducing herbs in it. Zull and Gort ended up chasing Goldie, but she slid into a hole next to the well, thankfully with the Friendship Heart in her paw. Eva tells the hamster that she can’t hide in the hole forever, but Goldie explains that she’ll stay in there until the others wake up. Both dog goons attempt to snatch Goldie out of the hole, but they failed. Eventually Kate, Magic, and the Royal Guards wake up from the inducement caused by the swamp herbs, which caused Eva and her three lackeys to escape back to the swamp. Goldie then presents Kate with the collar that almost got taken by Eva.

At the Magic Fountain, Goldie’s Friendship Ceremony was performed, and the hamster was eventually teleported near Molly, who was holding two more ice cream pops. Goldie makes a gesture at Molly to follow her, and she eventually got to a market that sold fruit. Goldie took a bite out of an apple, which surprised the clerk. As Molly came over, the clerk gives her an apple, and as the girl took a bite herself, she realizes that the apple tasted even more delicious than any sweet can be.

When the Ceremony was finished, another piece of Ava’s puzzle appeared in the dried up fountain. Kate explains that she and Magic have to return to the city to continue the search for the princess.

Meanwhile, in the Big City park, Ava appeared to be very weak with both fatigue and sickness. As she eyed a mushroom, Wallace runs over to tell her to not eat it, as it will make her even sicker. Ava eventually passes out in front of the Schnoodle.
