Episode 1: Dejiko in America, Part 1...
("America Dejiko ichi...")

      Puchiko and Hokke-Mirin are on a bus, coming home from running an errand for The Manager. Puchiko gets up to push the button to stop the bus, but she can't reach it, so the bus ends up going all the way to its last stop. Puchiko is forced to get off the bus, and realizes that the last bus stop was in America. A strange shadow appears around the corner and calls Puchiko's name. The shadow turns out to be an american fanboy named Rod Young. Rod is dressed as Dejiko and is an especially big fan of hers -- he asks Puchiko if Dejiko is with her, but she tells him that she is alone.

      Meanwhile, Dejiko and Gema are sick with worry because Puchiko hasn't come home yet from running her errand. Suddenly, a mailman comes bearing letters from America and gives one to Dejiko and one to Rabi~en~Rose. Dejiko opens her letter, thinking that the letter is from a director in America, who wants to make Dejiko a big star. When Dejiko tries to read the letter, she can't read it, due to messed up handwriting. The Manager tries to read the letter, and learns that the letter was written by an american fanboy, and it is asking Dejiko if she can come to America as well. The Manager realizes that the person who wrote the letter must also be with Puchiko. Dejiko decides to go where Puchiko is and promptly summons their large cat-shaped UFO. Gema protests that launching the UFO inside the store will destroy Gamers. Gamers is reduced to rubble while Dejiko and Gema head off towards America. Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan see Dejiko heading towards America and decide to follow her -- but they go in the opposite direction.

      The Manager looks at the wreckage of the store and reasons that all the workers can go on summer vacation until the store is rebuilt. Rabi~en~Rose asks The Manager if she can go on vacation as well, because she wants to go to America. The letter that Rabi had received from America was written by her parents, and told her to go to America. There was also a set of travel instructions on the back of the letter -- which told Rabi to make a raft to go to America. Meanwhile, Dejiko and Gema are in America, looking for Puchiko. They think America is a strange and gloomy looking place. Gema starts to do "american" impressions, which makes Dejiko zap him with her laser beams. Dejiko goes off to find Puchiko, on her own. Meanwhile, Rabi~en~Rose is on a raft and headed towards America -- she comments that America is far away, then is chased by sharks. Somewhere in the Antarctic, Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan are freezing their butts off.

      Back at Rod's house, Rod is showing Puchiko his room, which is all full of DiGi Charat fandom paraphenelia. Rod tells Puchiko that he sent a letter to Dejiko, so she should arrive soon. Puchiko is impatient to go home, and starts to leave. Rod finally agrees to help Puchiko go home. Meanwhile, Dejiko is tired and still hasn't found Puchiko -- she complains that America is such a big place. Gema, on the other hand is gambling and manages to win the jackpot. Dejiko gets angry with Gema for fooling around and blows him and the city (Las Vegas) up with her laser beam. Somewere in the jungle, Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan are running from a snake.

      Rod and Puchiko are walking on the highway towards Las Vegas, but are shocked to find that Las Vegas is now a pile of rubble. Gema is whining that Dejiko always blows his things up, and Dejiko retorts that they came to America to look for Puchiko, not play around. Dejiko looks in the river and sees some trash floating. The floating trash suddenly turns into a monster and chases Gema and Dejiko. Meanwhile, Rod and Puchiko are still walking, when Rod suggests that Puchiko may be hungry, then runs off the buy some food. Dejiko and Gema are seated by a bus stop, wondering where Puchiko is -- suddenly, Puchiko appears! Dejiko and Gema are relieved to see that Puchiko is unharmed. Rod comes back with some hot dogs, but sees Dejiko and starts to go hysterical. The trash monster comes back and eats the hot dogs, and Puchiko points out that it's actually Rabi~en~Rose. Rod introduces himself to Dejiko, and is excited to finally meet her...

Episode 2: Dejiko in America, Part 2...
("America Dejiko nii...")

      Back in Akihabara, Minagawa, Kimura, Yoshimi, and Takeshi are going stir crazy, not having Dejiko, Puchiko, and Rabi~en~Rose around. Meanwhile, Rod Young is ecstatic about having Dejiko and company with him. Somewhere in the desert, Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan art being chased by camels. Dejiko and Puchiko are lying by the poolside, dreaming of a warm bowl of rice. Gema happened to fall asleep in a thorny bush, so he is squirming around uncomfortably. Suddenly, Rod bursts in and proceeds to yell and make a lot of noise so that Dejiko and Puchiko will wake up. Rod wonders where Rabi~en~Rose went. Dejiko says that Rabi probably slept at a motel, and that she's somewhere in America. Gema reminds everyone that Rabi went to go visit her parents, and Rod agrees because he read as much from the DiGi Charat Guidebook.

      Meanwhile, Rabi~en~Rose is finally at her parent's house. She quietly gets up the courage to knock on the door, but when she finally does, the house falls down -- it was just a cardboard house to begin with. A wind blows a newspaper into Rabi~en~Rose's face, and she reads it. On the newspaper, there are drawings of her parents and the word "SKA", in big writing. And somewhere in the polar regions (again) Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan are being harrassed by walruses.

      Rod dresses in normal clothes and prepares to take Dejiko, Puchiko, and Gema out for an American lunch. Dejiko sees the all the food prepared and is excited to eat such a delicious looking meal -- but when they eat the food, nothing tastes good to them. Rod wonders why American food doesn't agree with Dejiko and company, when he spent so much money on the meal. Suddenly, the owner of the restaurant that they were eating at appears, and Dejiko mistakes him for Abarenbou (because he looks exactly like Abarenbou). The stranger introduces himself as Mr. Violence. When Mr. Violence finds out that Dejiko and company are from Japan, he offers to cook them a good meal -- but Dejiko refuses. Dejiko claims that she came to America for two reasons: the first was to find Puchiko. The second reason was so that Dejiko could become a famous film star in Hollywood. Rod suggests that they all go to Hollywood. Rabi~en~Rose appears again, but she looks depressed. They all ask Rabi how it was, to see her parents again. When Rabi shows them the paper with the word "SKA" written on it, everyone seems confused.

      Somewhere in the desert, Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan are being chased by elephants. Meanwhile, Dejiko, Puchiko, Gema, Rabi~en~Rose, Rod, and Mr. Violence are all in a car headed towards Hollywood, when Dejiko starts daydreaming about being a big star and having a lot of money. Meanwhile, Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan are in a bamboo forest, wondering where Dejiko is. Pyoko is happy that they found a place where there are so many pandas. Rik recalls that bears in general are quite ferocious -- upon hearing this Pyoko and the gang begin to run away.

      Dejiko and company have finally reached Hollywood. Dejiko asks Rod about a certain director, because she wants to star in a sequel to a movie that that director worked on. Rabi~en~Rose comments that the movie was cancelled and shows Dejiko the newspaper. Dejiko panics and wonders how she will become a star if she can't star in the movie, but then decides that she wants to go home to Japan. Everyone agrees and starts home, but Rod begs Dejiko to stay in America. Dejiko explains that she has many, many fans waiting for her in Japan, and as an idol, she must go back to them. Rod understands, and the group takes one more shot in memory of the trip. Just as the picture is taken, Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan burst in, along with a giant octopus. Later, Rod is in his room, staring at the photo of Dejiko and company. He promises that someday, he'll visit them in Japan.

Episode 3: DePuRaPyoGeBou debut!
("DePuRaPyoGeBou debut!")

      Dejiko greets everyone and comments on how much fun she had, while she was in America. Dejiko also explains how Gamers is still being rebuilt, so not only is it hot, but they are also bored out of their minds. Puchiko spots a sign that reads, "Akihabara Festival's Evening Band Contest". Dejiko checks the grand prize, and finds out that it is a ten year supply of nattou. Dejiko wants the nattou, so she has an idea to start a band. Dejiko states that Gema, Puchiko, Rabi~en~Rose, and herself will be the band members. Rabi asks what Dejiko and the band are going to do about musical instruments, since a band needs instruments. Dejiko has no money, but she figures someone will give her instruments for free, since she is so cute. Suddenly, Abarenbou appears, because he heard that they were formng a band and needed instruments. Abarenbou offers to make instruments out of wood logs, and ends up making electric bass guitars for everyone in the band.

      Abarenbou runs out of logs, so he makes himself an electric mandolin to play. Gema is ignored, because he has no instrument. Abarenbou looks around, and gives Gema a plunger to play as an instrument, then calls a rehearsal. The music they play ends up sounding terrible, because they have nothing but bass instruments and don't even know how to play those. Dejiko comments that they suck, but Abarebou suggests it's time for a live concert. Puchiko wonders if one rehearsal was enough for them, but Abarenbou whisks them off to play in Hamburg. The people of Hamburg tell them that they suck, so the band heads home.

      Once back in Japan, the group has thoughts about breaking up. But they remember the prize and try again by practicing harder. At last, the day of the contest comes and they are all psyched to enter -- but Abarenbou realizes that something is missing. Rabi~en~Rose wonders if the band should just be full of bass instruments. Abarenbou agrees and makes a drum set. While Abarenbou is making a drum set, Pyoko appears to annoy Dejiko. Abarenbou turns around and sees Pyoko, mistaking her for someone he knew a long time ago named "Bou" (see: Summer Special 2000, ep 3) and promptly tells Pyoko to play the drums. Everyone in the band is once again psyched and ready to play, though Pyoko has no idea what's going on.

      Abarenbou remembers that he still has to register the band, and says the band name will be "DePuRaPyoGeBou" (the first letters of everyone's names put together). Dejiko thinks the name isn't very good, but sees Takeshi and Yoshimi. Both explain that they also made a band, and that they are also entering the contest. Dejiko bullies them and insists that the nattou is hers, and they agree that they can't beat Dejiko.

      The contest is starting. The Manager (who is the announcer) says that the judges for the competition will be Minagawa, Kimura, and Hen na Ikomono. The first band up is the Bukimi Band (which is Takeshi and Yoshimi). They sing their song (which consists of them saying their names over and over again..). The last band to perform is Dejiko's band -- they begin to play the same, awful song (because of all the bass and no skill). Dejiko begins to sing, but in the middle of her song, but she accidentally triggers her laser beam and blows up the stage. Someone starts to talk, and assorted items of food and junk are dropped onto the stage (such as fish, mustard, ashes form an ashtray). The same voice says to mix it all up, and it is pureed into something disgusting looking. While this is going on, a taxi drops of Rod Young, who has come to visit Japan. He smells the vile concoction and Dejiko comments on how delicious nattou is....

Episode 4: Isn't anyone here, nyo?
("Dare mo inaino ka, nyo?")

      Dejiko and the entire Gamers gang are walking on a grassy path. Dejiko is singing loudly, but stops to explain that things were too hot and boring in Akihabara, so they all decided to go on an outing to the Gamers Rest Home. When they arrive there, they realizes that the Home is an old, rickety cabin. Dejiko is confused and looks at the map The Manager gave her -- Rabi~en~Rose tries to look at the map, and can't read it. Dejiko teases Rabi and says that she and the manager have a "heart to heart" relationship. The Manager told Dejiko that she would find "something good" at the Rest Home.

      Dejiko and company enter the cabin, and find a pile of mochi on a table. Puchiko tries to eat one, and Rabi~en~Rose comments on how small the cabin will be, when there's so many of them. Kimura suggests that they all go to his summer cottage, by helicopter. Puchiko disagrees and says she wants to see the "good thing" that The Manager spoke of. Kimura is swayed by Puchiko's words and vows to help her look for the "good thing". Puchiko tells him to go away. Meanwhile, Dejiko is also eating the mochi, but finds out that they are rotten on the inside. Gema tells her not to eat them anymore. Dejiko asks Takeshi and Yoshimi to get some spring water. Takeshi and Yoshimi agree, but when they look behind Dejiko, they see a ghost, and scream. Dejiko doesn't see anything, and yells at Takeshia and Yoshimi for trying to lie.

      Rabi~en~Rose is spooked by the prospect of ghosts, and Minagawa pulls out a scary looking doll. Rabi spazzes. Dejiko suggests that they all play a game so that they won't be scared -- first they play "shiritori" (a game where they say a word that begins with the syllable of the previous word), and in the middle of playing, Rabi~en~Rose hears a strange sound. It turns out to be Kimura's stomach, and he goes to the washroom. Gema realizes that Takeshi and Yoshimi haven't returned yet. Dejiko promises to kick their butts when they get back. Then, we see Takeshi and Yoshimi, unconcious in a stream.

      Next, Dejiko suggests that they play "Pinata Gema". Rabi~en~Rose wonders if it's really okay to hit Gema like a pinata. Dejiko assures them that "Pinata Gema" is a good, fun game -- but Gema struggles with his chains and yells that he'll go back to DiGi Charat planet, all by himself. Then, the chain breaks and he runs away, crying. As he is running away, we see Kimura lying unconcious in a field, with someone standing over him.

      The next game Dejiko suggests is "sugoroku" (a fortune telling game played on New Year's). Rabi wonders if it's okay to play the game when it's not New Year's, but Dejiko and Puchiko don't care. Dejiko lands on a spot that tells her that she will live a life with good fortune, but it will all go up in flames. Rabi~en~Rose makes fun of her, then goes to take her turn -- but screams when she sees her wrist is tied to the scary doll that Minagawa showed them earlier. Rabi storms towards the window to yell at Minagawa, but when they open the window, they only see a melon bread on the ground. Rabi~en~Rose wonders where Minagawa went. Then, we see Gema and Minagawa, unconcious on the floor.

      At this point, Rabi~en~Rose is really worried because no one has come back yet. Dejiko starts to scare Rabi, and Rabi yells at Dejiko for always trying to scare her. Dejiko and Rabi fiight for a few minutes, when the lights in the cabin go out. Rabi~en~Rose looks over at the window and sees a ghost, and ends up running out of the cabin, screaming. Dejiko wonders why Rabi was so scared. Dejiko suddenly feels sleepy, so she and Puchiko go to sleep. While Dejiko is dreaming of food, Puchiko is looking out the window, and sees something. Puchiko runs out of the cabin, and into the forest. Dejiko wakes up, and realizes that Puchiko is gone -- and that she is alone. Dejiko tells herself that she's not scared, and goes off to the forest to find Puchiko.

      Dejiko starts to wander in the forest, calling out Puchiko's name. Suddenly, ghosts appear out of the bushes and Dejiko gets scared and runs away. Dejiko thinks that everyone was killed by the ghosts. Then, another ghosts pops up, and Dejiko blasts it with her laser beam. The ghost falls over and Dejiko realizes that it's Pyoko. Pyoko states that if Dejiko were just a little more scared, their great scary plan would have worked. Dejiko learns that it was Pyoko and the Black Gema Gema Dan who had been scaring everyone, and suddenly, Rod Young pops out of the bushes, with Rabi~en~Rose, Takeshi, Yoshimi, Minagawa, and Kimura -- but Puchiko is no where to be seen. Then, something pulls on Dejiko's skirt, and we see that it's Puchiko.

      Puchiko has something to show everyone -- she says that she found the "good thing" that The Manager was talking about. They walk to the the bank beside the stream, and see that the "good thing" is the fireflies that glow at night time. Everyone stands by the stream and watches the fireflies...
