Plot
D.W has her own Netkitten and is very excited. Although when it's time to give the computer to mom, the computer freezes. The computer guy comes, but after falsifying the problem, the computer ends up with a "Scary Clown" virus. Mom is worried she won't get her work done and D.W. is worried she doesn't feed Tickley (her Netkitten). Then she interrupts a baseball game by serving cookies for Arthur and Buster so Arthur will babysit Tickley. He is displeased, but does it anyway. While fixing Tickley, Mr. Ratburn gets in the act and changes Tickley's "cowgirl" setting to "baseball" setting. When the computer comes back, D.W. is excited to nurture Tickley again, but becomes cross with Arthur after Mr. Ratburn has changed the settings. They fuss over the computer and the computer gets a "Laughing Pirate" virus. D.W. is worried again so instead of asking Arthur, she asks Emily to babysit Tickley. But it also turns out that Emily changed D.W.'s present setting to a "disco setting". Then she dreams that Tickley has left her a changed to liking dace and staying with Emily. D.W. is panicked, but she finds Tickley on the bottom of the bed. D.W. calls Emily, but once the settings have been changed, everything goes out of control and sobs. Arthur tells D.W. that Tickley is fine and sure enough she is. Emily is happy that Tickley is back to normal, but wonders if Tickley will dance with Prince Shiny (Emily's Netkitten). D.W. is okay with it for one time.
