The sun shines on a colourful stone path in a field filled with yellow and red wildflowers. A windmill stands in the middle of a small town surrounded by rolling hills. The windmill rotates in a gentle breeze. Donkey Hodie, a yellow donkey with a purple mane, walks out of the windmill.

Kids sing,
HERE COMES DONKEY HODIE

Later, Donkey carries a potato into the living room.

She says,

Panda replies, CLASSIC.

Donkey and Panda look through a trunk filled with clothes.

Donkey says,
DODIE HODIE AND I

CALLED THE BACKWARDS BOOGIE,
AND WE PLAY IT
EVERY TIME WE'RE TOGETHER.
SO WE NEED THE PERFECT
COSTUMES...

Panda pulls out a large red wig.

He says,
OH!
NAH, TOO SILLY…

Panda tosses the wig aside and pulls a Halloween mask out of the trunk.

He says, EH?

Donkey replies, TOO SCARY...

Panda tosses the mask and looks in the trunk again.

He says,
OH. AND...

Panda pulls the towel off the souffle.

Donkey replies,
NUTTERFLUFF SOUFFLE!

Dodie says,

[Air whistling]

The souffle deflates.

Donkey asks,

Dodie replies, I GUESS NOT...

Panda says,

Donkey and Dodie sit up. Donkey shakes her head.

She says,
UGH. UMMPH.

Dodie adds, AT ALL.

Donkey says,
WE DON'T EAT THE SAME FOOD,
WE DON'T PLAY THE SAME GAMES,
AND NOW WE CAN'T EVEN DANCE

Dodie replies,
WE DON'T LIKE ANY OF
THE SAME THINGS ANYMORE!

Donkey and Dodie say,
WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON!

[Both sigh]

Donkey says,
I KNOW WE WANT
TO HAVE FUN TOGETHER...

Dodie replies,
BUT I'M NOT SURE WE CAN!
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST
GO BACK HOME.

Panda runs to Dodie.

He says,
OH NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
HOLD YOUR HODIES!

Dodie asks, WHAT?

Panda replies,
YOU CAN'T LEAVE YET!
DONKEY WAS SO EXCITED
TO SEE YOU,
AND I WAS SO EXCITED
TO MEET YOU.

Dodie says, I WAS EXCITED, TOO...

Panda replies,
WELL THEN, YOU'VE GOT
TO FIND A WAY TO PLAY TOGETHER.
I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Donkey asks,
BUT HOW?
HOW CAN WE HAVE FUN TOGETHER
IF WE DON'T LIKE
ANY OF THE SAME THINGS?

Panda faces Dodie.

He says, WELL, DONKEY...

Dodie replies, I'M DODIE.
