On the road, three truckers were on their way to Philadelphia to smuggle some monkeys and sell their fur for profit. They were in so much of a hurry, they hit a bump, causing one of the boxes to fall out.
Mrs. Hess and Kristi were driving home from her cousin's birthday party. Mrs. Hess knew that bringing her husband to her relative's occasion would be a screwup if he went. So they decided to go together. On the road, Mrs. Hess saw a box moving up and down. She decided to stop the car. "Stay here and do nothing, Kristi," she replied. "Mommy is going to figure out what's going on."
By the time Mrs. Hess opened the box, a female monkey with skin that had the same color as pineapples came forth. Mrs. Hess knew that the monkey might be lost, so she decided to take it with her.

In the morning, the girls were volunteering at the library when Kirby found a children's book on monkeys.
Monkey Buddies and You
"I remember reading that book in kindergarten," recalled Leah. "That's where we learn all about different types of monkeys."
"How can we forget?" Rylie said. "The teacher would gather us for storytime and we get a different topic each week."
Kirby wanted one of them to read it for him, Leah decided that they should read it when they got back.
Outside, Swinger was minding his own business when the girl monkey Mrs. Hess rescued before came up. She took Swinger's head and walked off, much to Swinger's annoyance. He chased the girl monkey until he grabbed the hat. That was when he saw the girl monkey's beauty and fell deeply in love with her.
The Klue Queens saw Swinger flirting with the girl monkey. Mrs. Hess and Kristi were coming out after returning some books when they saw the monkeys playing.
"Mrs. Hess," asked Tania, "can you explain the monkey here?"
"We were coming home from a birthday party when we found the box," Mrs. Hess explained. "We had to hide it from Chief Hess so he won't get upset about bringing a stray into the home, plus we didn't want to get fleas."
"It was a good thing Shewiff and Deputy wewe at the pet gwoomew," Kristi replied.
"We should take them to Dr. Japon," suggested Rylie. "She'll know what kind of monkey this is."

Later at Dr. Japon's Jungle Hospital, she examined the female monkey. "That's a rare Pielpiña monkey," he explained, "from the corners of Argentina. Now these days they're hunted for their fur."
The monkey got horrified by this and hid behind Paige. "Poaching is a big deal here," Paige replied, "which is why stylists usually use fake fur and animal skins now."
"What do you think we should call her?" asked Kaylin.
"Pina is the Spanish word for pineapple," Estrella said. "So maybe...Pineapple."
Everyone thought it was a good name for a rare monkey. Pineapple jumped up and down with excitement, knowing that she liked the name.
"I also brought the box that Pineapple was in," explained Mrs. Hess. "And we found something strange about the box."
In her car, Mrs. Hess showed the girls the box where they found Pineapple. On the front of it, they saw a label that said, "Fruta capuchina." This made them wonder why would a monkey be smuggled into a fruit box.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of town, a group of Italian men in suits was looking around the place. "Milo," asked a smuggler, "how could you lose the box?"
"It's not my fault, Leonardo," Milo explained. "Actually it is. I was so excited about selling that monkey, I forgot to close the door."
"You idiot!" Leonardo yelled as he slapped Milo. "What is the boss going to say?"
"We'll tell the boss that the monkey is sick," Milo said. "We use to do that to Mamma when we forget to study for tests."
"Well, Mamma isn't here," Milo replied. "Now come on. We got some lying to do."

Later that night at the Underground Shed, the girls were dancing with Pineapple while Kirby and Swinger were playing Spinster. As Kirby was about to touch the pink ball, he saw a newspaper article of the Italian Market in Philadelphia being robbed by all its grapes. Kirby thought this was getting completely suspicious. So he pressed the stars on the Klue Queens' outfits and summoned their Warp Stars.
"Kirby," asked Leah, "did you find a clue?" Kirby nodded his head, then showed the newspaper article of the market robberies.
"We better bring Pineapple with us just in case," Leah suggested. "Whoever's looking for her might be coming here"
"You're right," Rylie said.
On the Warp Stars, the Klue Queens headed off to the Italian market where another shipment of grapes was stolen. Little did they know was that Mr. Holman, Billie, and Rudolph were watching them from their limo.
Billie quickly recognized the fur off of Pineapple "That's a rare Pielpina Monkey," she recalled. "I remember getting a scarf made from its fur for my tenth birthday."
"This is our chance to win back some customers from Roadhouse Fantasia," Mr. Holman said to Billie. "I know someone in Philadelphia who would love its fur."

Later at The Italian Market, the manager of the market explained that The Fruta Capuchina always shipped out grapes and nothing else. That was when Tania realized, "The Fruta Capuchina company is stealing grapes to cover the smuggling."
Meanwhile, Milo and Leonardo were surrounded by numerous bodyguards. "I told you making up a lie about the Pielpina monkey being abducted by aliens wasn't a good idea," whispered Milo.
"It was the only thing I could come up with," answered Leonardo.
By the boss chair wad an ugly Italian woman with gangster clothing. She was their boss and Milo's wife, Marisol. "Come avete potuto farmi mentire così due tirapiedi?! (How could you two stooges lie to me like that?!)" she shouted.
"We couldn't be a-forced to watch your annoying soap operas again!" Leonardo cried. "I mean, really!"
As Marisol was about to clobber them with a baseball, her cellphone rang. "I think that's your boss," Leonardo said. Marisol picked up the phone and answered it.
"È questo Marisol Bandoni dell'azienda Fruta Capuchina? (Is this Marisol Bandoni of the Fruta Capuchina company?)" Billie answered on the phone. "Ho un indizio sulla tua scimmietta Pielpiña (I've got a lead on your little Pielpiña monkey)."
By the time the Klue Queens got to the Fruta Capuchina warehouse, they needed to think of a way to get inside without being noticed by the guards. Just then, Estrella just stepped on a yo-yo, giving her an idea. "Kirby," she whispered, "ever seen TV's 'Batman'?"
"Poyo? (No. Why?)" Kirby whispered.
"We want you to do the little climbing trip," whispered Estrella.
With a bite of the broken yo-yo, Kirby turned into Yo-Yo Kirby. He tossed the yo-yo to the top of the window. One by one, the girls climbed up like Batman and Robin did in the 1960s "Batman" show. As they got in, a group of guards came in and captured our heroes.
"Ambush," Rylie said as she got grabbed by the guards.
Marisol came in with an angry face. "Guarda qui tutti (Look here, everyone)," she said. "Un gruppo di adolescenti che stanno saltando la scuola (A bunch of teenagers who are skipping school)."
"My wife is right," Milo replied. "Shouldn't you girls be in school?"
"Actually," replied Tania, "we get out of school next week, and what you're doing is illegal. Smuggling rare monkeys for their pelts."
"Don't you, like, have respect for the environment, man?" asked Paige.
"No," Milo replied. "Pielpina monkey fur makes me rich. Their fur is fine for their clothes, while their meat is perfect for cat food. My Marisol is going to be rich when we sell my Bandoni's Cat Food a few months from now."
"That's insane," Rylie said.
Marisol quickly grabbed Swinger, Kirby, and Pineapple. "Spider monkeys do make good souvenirs for tourists and this little puffball. It makes a good dinner for tonight," Leonardo smiled as the guard took them away.
Kirby was helpless and he, Swinger, and Pineapple were about to be killed by Leonardo and Milo with rifles. Leah found a bunch of broken light bulbs and got an idea. "Kirby," she shouted, "suck it up!"
After Kirby ate the broken lightbulb, he turned into Spark Kirby. His electricity powers made the bodyguard drop him, Swinger, and Pineapple. The two monkeys both took down the guards holding the Klue Queens hostage and set the girls free.
Marisol, Leonardo, and Milo tried to escape, but Rylie stopped them by tossing a fishnet over them. Everyone high-fived each other after that.

Later, the Philadelphia Police Department were arresting Marisol and her gang while the Klue Queens explained what was going on.
"Our first clue was the box that pineapple was in when Mrs. Hess brought her in," Tania explained. "They saw that it was imported from Argentina, and Capuchin is another type of monkey, meaning that the Fruta Capuchina company was a ruse to smuggle monkeys."
"And from what the manager at the fruit market told us," recalled Leah, "he said that Fruta Capuchina only shipped out grapes, meaning the smugglers stole grapes from the Italian Market to cover the lies."
Just then, Mrs. Hess, Kristi, and Dr. Japon arrived to see if everyone was alright. "The only question is now is," Kaylin replied as she held up Pineapple, "what are we going to with Pineapple?"
"Do we have to take Pineapple back to Awgentina?" asked Kristi. "Mommy and I helped find her."
Dr. Japon and Pineapple looked at each other and hugged. "You know what," Dr. Japon said, "I think it would be better if Pineapple stayed with me. I could use all the help I can get at the vet."
"That's a great idea," Estrella said as she picked up Swinger. "And when Swinger has his monthly bath, he'll get to be with Pineapple."
Pineapple kissed Swinger on the lips, and he got completely lovestruck.

Later that night, Leah, Tania, and Ms. McBruce was reading "Monkey Buddies and You" for Kirby's bedtime story. "This is a mandrill," Leah said as she pointed out the picture of the mandrill. "They're from Africa."
Tania came over and saw another monkey. "And this is a Japanese macaque," she said as she pointed to the white monkey. "They love swimming in the water. Remember when we were kids and we use to call them sea monkeys."
"Yeah," replied Leah. "It was our trip to the Elmwood Park Zoo and there were some monkeys who won't get out of the water, so we called them sea monkeys."
Kirby started to fall asleep. "I think it's his bedtime," Lorraine said as she picked Kirby up.
Lorraine gently placed Kirby on the pet bed that Leah just bought for him, and they quietly closed the door.
The End.
