Then Prunella's older sister, Rubella, tells everyone to gather around and perceive her cootie catcher. She tells them that it was created and handed down from her ancestors in the Transylvania Mountains, it has the power to tell fortunes, and was given to a special girl on her half birthday. Francine asks if she can have a slice of half birthday cake, but Rubella dares to Francine to ask her fortune. Francine's fortune was if she will play professional football; Prunella tells Francine to pick a color and a number. So she picks green and three, then Prunella tells her to pick another number; so she picks the number six, with the answer being yes. But Francine tells her that they'll have to wait when they're all grown up if it was right. | Then Prunella's older sister, Rubella, tells everyone to gather around and perceive her cootie catcher.

The title card where Prunella is gazing into the crystal ball for fortunes wasn't created until Season 4, although the use of the title card for this episode is likely because of the fact that Francine has one of the major roles here besides the central Prunella. | ||
