Plot[]
Tomomi wakes up at TamaCafe and remembers that she's on Tamagotchi Planet now. She joins Lovelitchi's family downstairs for breakfast and Lovepapalitchi notices Lovelitchi and Melodytchi still looking sleepy. The two explain they've stayed up late playing with their Tama Profys and talking about it. The scene briefly changes to Mametchi explaining the creation of the Tama Profys to Papamametchi. Back at the TamaCafe, Lovelitchi plays the Melody Charm's tune which Doremitchi and Sopratchi enjoy. Lovepapalitchi then tells Melodytchi to get ready for Tamagotchi School and Lovemamalitchi suggests that Tomomi attend school as well.
Grippatchi introduces Tomomi to the class and she takes a seat next to Melodytchi. Grippatchi then moves on to explain dividing fractions to the class, but everyone is confused by it. She calls on Tomomi to solve the problems on the board and she manages to correctly solve all the problems, earning an A+ leaf from Grippatchi. The next couple of scenes show Tomomi excelling at other classes with Kuromametchi noticing her outdoing him at athletic feats. Impressed by her skills, he compliments her.
It soon becomes lunch time and Moriritchi hurries Tomomi to sit at table so she can answer everyone's questions about The Earth. The Spacy Brothers watch her while hiding in a nearby bush, expressing concern about her taking over Tamagotchi Planet. Mametchi and friends then come over with another table so they can connect it to Tomomi's and talk to her. Lovelitchi and Melodytchi show off their new Tama Profys and Mametchi recaps the events of the last episode that lead to a Tama Heart forming. After his recap, everyone at the table asks Tomomi for her profile pages, but she lies again and says that she left her profiles pages back on Earth.
Kuchipatchi arrives at the table with his lunch and Melodytchi takes Tomomi to go get her food. Doremitchi and Sopratchi are left by themselves at the table and Doremitchi plays with Melodytchi's Tama Profy. Sopratchi scolds her and tells her to leave it alone, but Doremitchi grabs the Profy and runs off with it. Everyone returns to the table to see Sopratch chasing after Doremitchi, knocking over chairs and making a mess. The two run into the bushes and knock over the Spacy Brothers who were heading to get food. The brothers tell Melodytchi that Doremitchi and Sopratchi had ran past them and everyone spreads out to find the two. Kuchipatchi tries to lure them with doughnuts, but ends up eating the doughnuts himself. Mametchi also tries using a machine to find them, but it explodes in his face.
Everyone is discouraged, having not found Doremitchi and Sopratchi yet, but Uwasatchi luckily runs in to alert them of the two's location. It turns out that Doremitchi and Sopratchi had made it all the way to the top of Tamagotchi School and are now stuck because they can't safely jump down. The building itself is fast asleep and snoring, each snore causing the two to lose their grip. Gozarutchi tries to save them by riding a kite to them, but the wind is so strong that it breaks the kite's string and sends him flying away. Melodytchi tries to climb up to them, but Lovelitchi holds her back as it's too dangerous to climb so high up. Tomomi thinks to herself of what to do until Kuromametchi gets her attention and forms a plan. A springboard is brought out and Tomomi grabs Kuromametchi and jumps on it. At the height of her jump, she throws Kuromametchi up to Doremitchi and Sopratchi. He grabs the two and then jumps down to a landing mat Mametchi had laid out.
Everyone cheers and Melodytchi makes sure Doremitchi and Sopratchi are okay. Kuromametchi thanks Tomomi for helping out and the two give each other a high five. Suddenly, a Tama Heart appears between them and floats over Melodytchi's Profy to enter it. Mametchi notes the heart must have appeared from the bond they made working together to save Doremitchi and Sopratchi. Tomomi and Kuromametchi then look at each other and smile.
