[Eep sighs]
- Thanks again, Guy-boy.
You really went all out this time.
- This?
[chuckles] Oh, it's nothing.
Just a thrilling ambush of deadly mayhem
and a weightless dining experience
with live animal music.
It practically threw itself together
in a night or twelve.
And fear makes everything taste better.
- Glad you took off that mask.
I almost cracked your head open
like a coconut.
So, does this feast come with dessert?
- Yes. And something better.
- Wha-- My bark journal?
I didn't draw this.
Or this.
Okay. And I definitely
didn't draw any of this.
Wait.
Did you draw this?
- I know how much you love
kisses and punches.
But that's not even
the best part of the surprise.
- No. No more surprises.
It's too much.
And I don't have anything for you.
[all chatter]
- Come on, Eep. It--
It's a really good one.
- [sighs] Well--
♪
No. It's enough. Sorry.
[all screech in frustration]
Ooh. You didn't.
You planned a punch monkey
surprise attack for me?
- For us.
Because I know how much you love attacks.
Combat in general, really.
- Mm-mm-mmm.
- Fine. You win.
No more surprises. I'll cancel it.
Sorry, fellas. The ambush is off.
[screeches]
Whoa!
[groans sharply] Okay.
Of course you can keep the bananas.
They're all yours.
[groans]
[all chattering]
- Well, they seem mad. Monkey mad.
- Oh, yeah, so do you.
Minus the monkey part.
- No, I'm not mad.
But you plan some
crazy over-the-top surprise for me
every mooniversary,
and I never surprise you.
- They're not that over-the-top.
[Eep gasps]
[grunts]
Because flowers are most beautiful
when you're buried
under an avalanche of them.
Happy mooniversary! [chuckles]
- Hey, who left out all this fruit?
Whoa!
♪
- Because no matter where I look,
all I see is you.
Eepy mooniversary!
[growls]
Because you make my heart soar
like a majestic crowverine.
Happy mooniversary.
Interesting fact about crowverines,
they do not like leaf banners
tied to their ankles.
- Guy, you know I love your surprises.
But it's not fair.
You do all these amazing things for me.
I wanna do the same for you.
Just once, I wanna surprise you
on our mooniversary.
- I would love that.
But it's never gonna happen.
- What? Why?
- Look, Eep, when it comes
to running and leaping
and swimming and hunting
and fighting and striking fear
into the hearts
of wild animals everywhere,
you leave me in the dust.
- Aw! Thanks, babe.
I do like striking fear.
- But I can't be surprised.
I-I can't help it,
it's just how I'm built.
That's why I'm the surpriser
and you're the surprisee.
- Oh, yeah?
We'll see about that.
It's still our mooniversary
and I'm gonna bring a surprise
that'll blow you away.
- Great!
But don't be too hard on yourself
when it doesn't happen.
- Oh, it's happening.
Because I never give up.
- And I love that about you.
So maybe I can point you
in the right direction.
I like games, dancing, art--
- I know that! I don't need your help.
- Where are you going?
- It's a surprise.
- You're going back
to the tree house, aren't you?
EEP:
Lucky guess!
♪
[grunts]
What do you think, Belt?
Will Guy be surprised
by this game I invented for him?
[squeals, chatters in affirmation]
Yeah. I think so too.
Toss me the ball.
[Guy grunts]
What the--
- Okay, I'm not surprised.
But I am into this new ball and stick game
you invented.
- What? This wasn't a surprise for you.
This was a surprise for, uh Belt.
Right, Belt?
[chatters]
- Great! So can we play?
- Huh! Sure.
Welp, you win. Bye!
- Yes! I love this game.
[Eep humming]
♪
- Heh, ha!
Whew!
Thanks for the dance lesson.
Guy's gonna be so surprised.
I'll be all, "May I have
this dance, Guy-baby?"
And he'll be all--
- Why, yes, Eepyhead.
You may have this dance.
Aah!
- How do you keep finding me?
- [sighs] I told you.
I can't be surprised.
That's why I know
what you're about to say.
BOTH: [in unison]
No, you don't.
- Ugh.
BOTH: [in unison]
Stop doing that.
I mean it!
GUY:
I'm sorry.
It's just I know you
better than I know myself.
- Aw!
That's sweet.
But now I'm gonna
surprise you into the dirt!
- Right after you grab a snack?
- Get out of my mind!
- Hmm.

That's a surprise for Guy!
But Guy isn't here.
[sighs deeply]
- Or am I?
- Yah! Guy!
I'm trying to surprise you, remember?
- I can't help it. I'm just that good.
- Yeah, yeah.
But not as good as this!
Happy mooniversary.
Remember when you were out in the woods?
Well, I was following you,
painting your every move.
And you moved a lot.
That's why it's so blurry.
- I mean, wow! Ha!
Did not see that coming.
Eep, that's a great surprise.
- So, why do I feel like
you're not surprised?
And what's that under the leaf?
- No idea. Never seen it before.
In fact, I'm not even sure
there's anything even there.
[chuckles nervously]
[grunts, gasps]
EEP:
You painted a painting of me
painting a painting of you?
- Yes. Wait, I think so. Hold on.
Hmm. Carry the two yes.
Yup. Checks out.
- Wow. How did you do that?
- I wish I knew, but it just happens.
I'm sorry.
EEP:
Don't be.
In fact, this is very helpful
because I just realized
what the problem is.
I need to start thinking outside the cave.
So watch out, because I am
gonna surprise you so hard,
it'll haunt you for the rest of your life!
[clears throat] Sorry, Guy-boy.
Got carried away.
- No harm done.
All's fair in love and surprises.
EEP:
Dawn, you've known Guy
longer than anyone else.
[grunting in effort]
I'm trying to surprise him,
but it is not easy.
- Yeah. [grunts]
He's really more of a-- [grunts]
surpriser than a surprisee.
- That's why I need your help.
Just like you need my help
with that tugoweed.
[grunts]
- Oh. [chuckles]
Okay. Well, Guy likes--
- Games? Played and lost.
- Okay, but what about--
- Dancing? Dipped and dropped.
- Hmm. Did you try--
- Painting? Brushed and flushed.
- [sighs] Yeah, you can't slip
anything past Guy.
Unless--
[gasps] Ooh!
Uh, what about a treasure hunt?
We used to love treasure hunts
when we were kids.
- Dawn, that's adorable.
And digging for treasure, that's genius.
It's the second best idea
you've ever had.
[laughing]
- Wait, second? What was the first?
- Being my best friend.
Give it up!
- Aw, yeah!
BOTH:
BFF-boom!

[Eep grunting]
EEP:
Hmm? Huh.
Finished.
You think he'll like it?
- What's not to like?
The clues, the mystery,
and then the best part,
digging up the treasure.
It's just like when were kids.
I'd beg Guy to come on a treasure hunt
with me and then he'd always say--
[gasps] Oh, no.
- "Oh, no"? Why would he say that?
- I don't wanna say.
- Spill it.
- Uh because he hated treasure hunts
and I just remembered
I'm the one who likes them.
- Dawn.
- Sorry.
[sighs]
- No, it's okay.
I'll just figure out another surprise.
Are you coming?
- Uh--
Can I dig up the treasure first? Please?
Please, please, please?
- Come on. You're his best friend
that isn't me.
You have to help me.
- Sorry, Eep.
I can't break the best friend code.
It would be a betrayal of Guy's trust.
- But I'm trying to do
something nice for him.
- Then I will betray Guy's trust.
What do you need?
I'll tell you everything I know.
I'll even tell you
everything I don't know.
- So how do I surprise him?
- I got it.
- An idea?
- No. There was a bug.
It was-- It was biting my head.
I got it!
- Another bug?
- No. An idea.
Guy loves window,
so you should surprise him
by putting a brand new window in my room.
[gasps]
- Wait. Don't you mean Guy's room?
- No. That's what he'd expect.
But a window in my room?
He'd never see that coming.
- Thunk, are you just trying to get me
to put a new window in your room?
- Is that what you think of me?
That I would exploit this situation
for my own gain?
What kind of monster do you think I am?
I've never been more insulted
in all my years!
You're still putting a window
in my room, right?
- Mooniversary?
Sounds made up.
- Well, it is.
But it's how Guy and I
celebrate the day we met.
And I wanna surprise him.
- So what do you want from me?
- I want your help.
You're the most surprising person
I know and--
Yah!
- Who told you that?
- What? No one told me that!
- Just checking.
Anyway, the key to surprising is,
you gotta surprise 'em.
- Okay, yeah. Right.
But how?
- With a surprise.
That's it, just a little bit
closer and then--
- Gran! [grunts]
GUY:
Hmm?
- I said I wanted to surprise Guy,
not kill him.
- What's more surprising than death?
[choking, groaning]
- Gran?
You okay?
- Aah!
[Eep screams]
I love surprises.
♪
- Mom, you and Dad
have been together forever-- Whoa!
- I wouldn't say forever.
Because that would make me old.
[grunts]
- After so many moons together,
how do you guys
keep surprising each other?
Because Guy keeps surprising me,
but I can't seem to surprise him.
- You wanna surprise Guy?
Tell him you don't like him anymore.
Surprise! Guy will never see that coming.
Ha! [groans]
- I've asked everyone
for advice, even Gran.
- [grunts] You asked Gran?
Are you trying
to surprise Guy or kill him?
- I was desperate!
- My advice to you is,
don't take anyone else's advice.
Trust yourself.
You know Guy better than anyone.
Only you know
what he least expects you to do.
- Uh, isn't that advice?
- Sure, but I'm allowed, because Mom.
[Grug pants]
- Just-just tell him you just wanna
be friends and nothing more. Ever.
Surprise! Happy mooniversary!
[groans]
- Trust me. It works.
That's why I snuck out here this morning
and changed all the obstacles
on the training course.
And your father has no idea.
- [groans weakly] W-wait.
You did wha-- [groans]
- The one thing he least expects.
Hmm.
[gasps] I know what to do.
Thanks, Mom!
- Ohh.
So, you think you got me, Ugga,
but I knew you changed the course--
[groans]
- Sure you did, honey.
GUY:
Are we going cave diving?
- What?
- That's the surprise, right?
- Guy, I'm done with--
- [gasps] I got it.
Belt and Sash are gonna pop out
of a giant bounceberry cake.
- What? I mean,
that's a great idea, but no.
- Truth or dance?
- Guy, I'm not gonna surprise you.
- You're just saying that
so that you can surprise me. Ha!
Pretty advanced surprise move.
I like it. Yah!
Huh. There's nothing here.
- So no treasure here, huh?
Okay, I'll keep hunting.
EEP:
Guy, I'm not trying to surprise you.
Because you were right,
you're unsurpriseable.
So I give up.
- Well, that's surprising.
[gasps] Aha!
That's the surprise!
- Ugh. Guy!
- Wait, so this is for real?
- Yeah. You're definitely
the surpriser and I'm the surprisee.
- Well, now I feel bad.
I didn't mean to spoil all your surprises.
- It's okay. All that matters is,
we're together on our mooniversary.
- That's true.
And if it's any consolation,
being the surprisee has its perks.
For example, look down.
Surprise. [chuckles]
- What?
How? Where did you get this?
- I built it while you were painting me.
- I thought you were painting me
while I was painting you.
- Double surprise.
- I love your surprises, Guy-baby.
They're all the surprise I need.

I went to your room and you weren't there
and then I saw punch monkey tracks and--
- It's okay.
What's important is that you're here
and the mangotato is out of my mouth.
[spits, sighs]
Those flavors just don't work together.
- Okay, here's the plan.
After I untie you
and get you out of this cage,
we're gonna punch our way outta here.
- Yup. There's no way they can stop us
if we're punching together--
is what I'd say if this was real.
- What? Guy, this is as real as it gets.
- I'm on to you.
This is all just an elaborate scheme
to surprise me.
But you made a couple fatal mistakes.
- It'll be a fatal mistake
if we don't get out of here.
- One, you told me you were giving up.
But I know you never give up on anything.
Especially proving me wrong.
Two, the punch monkeys would never
do something this bold on their own.
- Yes, they would, and they did.
They tied you up

You gotta give the punch monkeys
half the bananas upfront.

- I'm sorry.
I just wanted so badly to surprise you.
- It's okay. I get it.
Surprises are the best.
But right now we need to figure out
how to get outta here.
Those punch monkeys seem
especially punchy tonight.

Wanna play a little stickfruit?
