Maybe the world is blind or just a little unkind.

Don't know.

Seems you can't be sure of anything anymore.

Although you...

Yeah, I had to eat 283 popsicles, 139 fudgesicles, and one

creamsicle. I hate those.

Well, when you're a real architect, your secretary can eat the creamsicles for

you. He won't mind.

Now, the way I find it, our houses will be right next to each other.

We'll paint my house grape and yours lime.

Maybe we should hire a decorator.

Careful.

We don't want Desdemona to go into shock.

I thought this was Irving.

No, Irving fell victim to midlife aphids.

Okay.

Here we go. Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

Well done, Betty.

I must say, you have a wonderful flower bedside manner.

I'm new around here. I guess I took a wrong turn.

I expect full restitution in the form of complete reimbursements for this plant

pillage.

Yes, sir.

What does that mean?

It means he's cheap.

I'm Mrs. Johnson.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Thanks. I'm Donald Soda.

Hi, I'm Punky, and you've already met my dad, Henry Warnemont.

Hi. I'm Cherry.

What a great name.

Thanks. I've had it all my life.

So, Donald, where are you headed?

Donald?

Yo, Don!

Oh, yeah.

I thought this was a shortcut to Golden Hershey's Bakery.

Make a left, a right, and then follow your nose.

It's kind of hard to find.

My nose?

No, the bakery.

Come on, I'll show you.

We're riding your bike.

Why don't we just walk?

It takes longer.

Sounds good to me.

Okay, Grandma?

Okay.

Don't worry. I'll pay you back for that plant. I have a paper out, Mr.

Weaverment.

That's a warning, Mont.

And you'd better, or else I'll have your wages gone -a -sheet.

Does he always talk like that?

Wanton marauder.

Henry, I'm sorry about Desdemona.

That's dead begonia.

That's Desdemona.

And she's a philodendron.

Well, who cares what city she's from?

She's dead.

with Stevie.

You wouldn't have been sure. It's Thursday. We're supposed to watch

Rockin' Out.

I can't today.

Donald invited me to the circus.

Donald?

You're going to the circus with a boy?

Donald's different.

He's not like the boys that we know.

Oh, you mean he doesn't drink soda through his nose?

about him anyway.

He's got beautiful white teeth, big brown eyes, and mom's luxurious

lashes.

Big deal. So does Brandon.

If that was a joke, I didn't get it.

Well, I've got to rush to get ready.

Yes, you can, if they're the right two people.

Okay.

So where'd he get those weird cards?

Donnie won them for me at the circus.

Donnie?

He pounded that muscle meter all the way up the whip.

Yeah, but I couldn't have done it without you, Choo -Choo.

Donnie's father is a good friend of the guy that gets shot out of the cannon.

Wow.

Yeah. My dad sold Boom Boom his very first hearing aid.

No, I gotta go, Choo Choo. It's time for lunch.

Hurry back, Donnie. We don't want to be late for Midget Monster from outer

space. Sure, you said you were too scared to see that movie with me.

Well, this is different.

Donnie will be there to protect me.

Won't she, Donnie?

Yeah. Right after I have lunch.

I'll miss you.

I bet I'll miss you more than you'll miss me. There's no way that you can

me more than I'm going to miss you.

what you do when you really care about someone. You share things.

I noticed we don't share anything anymore.

Man, how did they ever see you?

I'm seeing you right now.

That's only because Donnie had to eat lunch.

Some friend you are, Punky. You should be happy for me instead of being

I'm not jealous. I just don't think you should dump me, your best friend,

because you met a boy.

I do.

What about what we do?

Well, we don't do that much anymore.

No kidding.

We don't do anything anymore.

We were supposed to build the fence between our... Wait a minute.

Where's my house?

Uh, right here. I was gonna tell you. Was there a tornado I didn't hear about?

No, we needed the lumber.

Donnie wants to run...

Did Donnie say where I'm supposed to live?

Uh, no. We figured since you're going to be an astronaut, you'd be in orbit.

I'd rather live in orbit than next to you two.

Bad attitude, Taki. It never really was your house. Not only did I eat most of

the popsicles, but I designed it and I built it. Fine, you designed it, you

built it.

Aren't you?

How come you're in the house on such a beautiful day? Why aren't you outside

playing with Cherry?

I don't play with Cherry anymore. She's a traitor.

A traitor?

Yeah, she dumped me for a boy.

Oh.

Benedict Arnold, eh?

No. Donald Soda.

Ah, yes.

Plant killer.

Anyway, I don't need Cherry.

But, Punky, you two have always gotten along so well together. You have so much

in common.

Yeah, well, sometimes that gets boring.

I want a new best friend. Someone who's nothing at all like Cherry.

Oh, so you want someone who's conceited, superficial, self -centered, and

obnoxious?

Hello, people. I'm here. Let the day begin.

Margo's your best friend?

Oh.

Yeah, I couldn't hold back my excitement.

Mr. Wanamont, I'm sure you want to capture this important moment in Punky's

with the best friend photo.

Why don't you go and get your little camera?

Good idea, Margo.

It would give me great pleasure to shoot you.

Did you notice anything different about me?

Yes.

You're wearing your tongue in a different place.

I took Dallin and Cherry to the wrestling match.

We had ringside seats.

And Jake the Snake fell right in my lap.

How could he miss?

Will you stop rolling those beady eyes at me?

Oh, are you in a sour mood?

Of course I am.

Life's been impossible around here.

Aren't you concerned about Punky and Cherry's friendship?

Oh, there's nothing to worry about. The girls are just having a little squabble.

No main event.

It's not a little squabble.

Punky has Cherry's picture up on her dartboard.

Well, maybe Punky's a little jealous that Cherry has a boyfriend and she

doesn't. Punky's not jealous.

Let's face it.

Cherry's been an inconsiderate, uncaring, and disloyal traitor.

And because of a silly childish infatuation, she's thrown away a trusted

friendship and has done deep psychological damage to my daughter.

Margo's getting to you, huh?

She's driving me right up the wall.

you brought are pretty good. I just don't understand why they call them

petticoat.

That's petty fours.

Too late, I already had five.

Oh, now it's time to pick out Brandon's fall wardrobe.

Let's see.

He'd look good in mohair. He has enough hair.

All right.

How about a fisherman's cable knit sweater?

color that won't clash with this run of the litter red.

Forget it, Margo.

Brandon's not a clothes heel.

This isn't going to work out.

Of course it will.

We'll take him to Yves Saint Bernard.

Or Bird Dog Goodman.

You and me are being best friends. I just don't have it in me.

You mean you don't want me to be your best friend anymore?

Well, I don't want to hurt your feelings.

wasn't working out that well for me.

What do you mean?

I'll never be able to go to Maharishi's yoga class again.

You shouldn't have called him Turban Head.

I didn't think he could hear me. His feet were covering his ears.

This is where we had the woodpecker problem last summer.

Boy, what a great place.

What are you two doing here?

The circus, please, Alan.

Uh, I was just showing Donnie our treehouse.

It's really great, and... Our treehouse? You mean my treehouse.

And a lot bigger than that. What do you mean, your treehouse?

It's just as much mine as it is yours.

Then I thought it would. Well, maybe back in the prehistoric dark ages when

used to be friends, but not anymore.

B. Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Come on, Choo -Choo. We have to go if we want to make the baseball game.

Go ahead, Choo -Choo. You don't want to keep Donnie waiting.

Donald, I'll meet you later. I want to pack up my stuff and take it out of her

treehouse.

But what about the peanut butter cookies you were going to make for me?

You know I can't watch the game without them. Well, you just have to try.

Just this once, okay, Donald?

Okay.

I'll be out of here in no time.

Not for that sticky finger.

Cindy Lauper and Banana Ram are mine.

No way. I positively remember buying those albums myself.

Yeah, with my money.

Half your money. I paid for half, too, you know.

Okay.

Then here's your half.

Hunky!

Wait. Don't break it. You can keep it.

This is yours, too.

No, it isn't. You're the one that wears it every Halloween.

Yeah, but you're the one I borrow from every Halloween.

Oh, right.

You might as well keep it. It'll always look better on you anyway.

And the bottom fell out of my trick -or -treat bag.

Yeah, what crackerjacks.

Well,

you gave me half of your candy.

Yeah.

Henry would have never let me eat it all anyway.

You know, Cherry, you were my friend.

And before I met Henry, you were the one that always bought me food in the empty

apartment.

Punky, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here.

Remember the time I got stuck in that old refrigerator?

You saved my life.

Jerry, this is where we carved our initials.

The day we finished building the treehouse.

PBCJ.

Friends forever.

Oh, Punky, I really hate this.

I wish we could still be friends.

So do I, but I thought you didn't want to be my friend.

Well, I thought you didn't want to be friends anymore.

Looks like we're both wrong.

I'm sorry, I've really been acting stupid.

No, you haven't. Yes, I have.

No, you haven't. Yes, I have. Okay.

But I've been acting stupid, too.

You shouldn't be jealous of Donald. It's just I was afraid that he liked you

more than me.

There's no way. Donald's okay if you're into basketball, baseball, and

wrestling.

Yeah, Margo's the same way. About chamber music, art museums, and the

I was the only one at Swan Lake with a can of worms.

I really did miss you, Punky. I missed you too, Cherry.

Friends again?

Best friends for... Ever.

Sorry, Chase.

It really wasn't my fault.

No, it wasn't. It was mine.

No, it wasn't. Yes, it was.

No, it wasn't. Yes, it was.

No, it wasn't. Yes, it was. Enough of this bickering.

You're acting like children.

I've been giving this a lot of thought. You will be friends.

Don't interrupt.

You're going to take this money, go to the movies, and have friendly fun.

All right, all right. Here's some more money.

For friendly ice cream afterwards.

That's an order.

Come on, Sherry. If we have to, we have to.

It worked.
