When she gets to the birthday party and gives her present to Emily, she asks her if she is going to open it. Emily refuses because of a schedule, involving 35 activities to do, and that she opens the presents last, much to D.W.'s disappointment. | When she gets to the birthday party and gives her present to Emily, she asks her if she is going to open it.

During a cabaret dance, D.W. claps unenthusiastically. She gets bored when a mime performs. As the kids watch a French silent film, D.W. complains that it's grayscale and nobody talks.

D.W. impatiently blows out the candles on an Eiffel Tower-shaped cake before Emily and demands that she "hurry up before [she] turn[s] six." Finally, after Emily has neatly opened a present consisting of a mask, D.W. shoves James out of the way and rips off the wrapping paper on her present. | ||
Just after giving Emily her present, D.W. takes it away to test the doll's pullstring. On the way home, D.W. declares that Emily doesn't know the first thing about opening presents. | Just after giving Emily her present, D.W. takes it away to test the doll's pullstring.

At home, D.W. calls Emily and James to see if they would like to come and play, who "kindly accept" the offer, but decline because they have to "practice conjugating French verbs" and "dust his stamp collection" respectively. Seeing the Tibbles pass, D.W. asks to play with them, but they just shout and run away. D.W. asks herself, "What's gotten into them?" | At home, D.W. calls Emily and James to see if they would like to come and play, who "kindly accept" the offer, but decline because they have to "practice conjugating French verbs" and "dust his stamp collection" respectively.

As Arthur visits the library, D.W. goes with him, not knowing Emily had lied to her to get out of playing with her as Emily is bouncing on a trampoline with [[Amanda Hulser|another kid]]. She then finds James and the Tibbles playing in the pool and Tommy pretends to scare Timmy and James, saying he is D.W., who is "even scarier than a monster." | As Arthur visits the library, D.W. goes with him, not knowing Emily had lied to her to get out of playing with her (as Emily is bouncing on a trampoline with [[Amanda Hulser|another kid]]).

D.W. sourly says she doesn't want to play with her friends anyway, and later that she doesn't need any. She tries playing ping-pong by herself, only to find it boring. Back in the house, D.W. sees that Arthur and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] are watching a horror movie called ''Children of the Beans'', which Arthur advises her not to watch, but she dismisses the warning. | D.W. sourly says she doesn't want to play with her friends anyway, and later that she doesn't need any.

Arthur reminds her of a time in gymnastics class when she did something wrong too: when D.W. had been called to take a turn on the balance beam, she lost her balance (due to the Tibbles fighting), and she refused to count it. She shoved the Tibbles out of the way to do it again and was told to apologize. Unaware of whom the teacher was talking to, the Tibbles apologize, but they are reassured that they haven't done anything wrong. | Arthur reminds her of a time in gymnastics class when she did something wrong too: when D.W. had been called to take a turn on the balance beam, she lost her balance (due to the Tibbles fighting), and she refused to count it.

D.W. denies that the mistake was her fault, but Arthur tells that she has to be fun in order to have fun and that if she continues acting the way she has been lately, other kids (such as her friends) aren't going to want to continue hanging out with her.

She says everyone else is no fun because they're not like her. | ||
D.W. ends up falling asleep, and a kid asks her to come out and play, but won't allow her to get on the slide, telling her she can't help it if she does it wrong. The kid is revealed to be a clone of D.W., and acts just like her; she asks another clone if she can play in the sand, but the clone won't let her. More D.W. clones surround and boss her around until Arthur wakes her up, telling her it's time for her gymnastics class. Realizing how her friends felt, D.W. tries to change. | D.W. ends up falling asleep, and a kid asks her to come out and play, but won't allow her to get on the slide, telling her she can't help it if she does it wrong.

She calls to tell them something, but they say they know: her first. But not this time; she was going to say "Me last," because she always goes first. Nobody believes her at first, but Emily reluctantly takes her turn. | ||
D.W. tells Emily that her attempt to cross the balance beam was so close to being perfect and she just needs more practice. She advises her to hold her hands out more, which works. D.W. refuses her turn, insisting on going last and keeping her promise. | D.W. tells Emily that her attempt to cross the balance beam was "so... close to being perfect" and she just needs more practice. She advises her to hold her hands out more, which works. D.W. refuses her turn, insisting on going last and keeping her promise. The Tibbles fight over which one should go last. | ||
