A Tale of Three Kiddies

A Tale of Three Kiddies is the first segment of 11th episode in season 3 of Harvey Street Kids.

Synopsis
Richie Rich feels somewhat depressed after losing a follower, so the Harvey Girls tell him stories to tell him that real friends are worth more than superficial ones.

Plot
The episode begins in the Sky mansion, where Lotta is shown sliding her fingers on a tablet showing two photos related to childhood: Dot, and another one with her and Tiny, saying that she really likes to post childhood related photos to the hashtag #WhenWeAreWeeWednesday, where Audrey burps saying that there is no problem if her past self did it too. Richie says he also posts photos from his childhood, as he plans to upload a photo he considers cute that can guarantee more RightNow-O-Gram followers. These photos, as a child include being on stage showing a cell phone as an invention; being loaded by robots and another photo with Theodore Templeton (From the movie "The Boss Baby").

Richie chooses one of the photos he considers cute, but notices that one of his followers has left because of his post, leaving him somewhat desperate. Dot tells him it's not a big deal, but he insists it's a serious matter, incidentally, he uses a robot named WhyoWhy-O-Drone to channel his frustration with an elongated "Why". Lotta tries to comfort him by saying that having loyal friends is much better than having several shallow friends. Ricky does not take seriously at all saying that she has few followers, which is true, and he is still concerned. Lotta asks the girls for help, where Audrey proceeds to tell her a story, with her tablet.

In it, which seems to be set when Audrey was 4 years old, she was eating sweet barracudas where she finds a rare blackberry flavored one, Melvin wearing his crown like a boomerang, steals it while showing off. She tells him to return it, but Melvin threatens her saying that he has "several friends" who disagree, including his group and several tertiary characters. Audrey tells him that she has both of her legs and challenges her to a dance duel, where the winner will have the jelly beans and the loser will have to say that he is a "Diaper tush". The dance competition begins, with Pinkeye playing DJ. After several dance steps, Audrey makes a dangerous move after falling from a toy broomstick doing somersaults that end with a rap twist covering several kids with sand, where they throw candy barracudas at her to praise her victory. Richie interprets it as "having enough friends to support you is fine", so Lotta wants someone else to share another story to convince him.

Dot shows him her infant photo in the tablet while telling her story, which is set when he was five years old. Where she threw a party to celebrate the Comet Harvey's visit, having several handmade telescopes, an anti-gravity bouncy castle and various meals. She says that if the party goes well she will be able to have more friends besides her Dotcopter. However, no one shows up and even The Bow appears to act as a tumbleweed. Audrey appears, but her appearance was made up because she hates seeing her alone. Lucretia appears saying how difficult it is to leave the house and that along with taking time to get ready, having social anxiety and that she cries uncontrollably on her pillow. Dot believes the kids are "crying" too, but Lucretia says they all went to another party for the new girl Chevron, where she has a real astronaut and telescopes borrowed from NASA.

Lucretia says that she will accompany her because she was the only one who attended the Blanketcretia dance recital, where a second flashback is made showing this event. Lucretia proceeds to flatter her bean dip, where Dot says her party can be fun if he could get at least one friend. Lucretia tells her an anecdote where Blanketcretia wanted the Chevron party. Dot tells her that she is also speaking to her machine, and they both look through the telescopes implying that they later saw the comets at dusk.

Back to the present, Lucretia appears saying that she had fun at that party alluding to the memory of Dot along with mentioning it was uncomfortable when she was talking to a blanket, and then speaking to her doll moments later asking Richie where the bathroom is for her doll. Richie interprets it that the loss of those potential friends gave rise to his rivalry with Chevron, which is important to have several people supporting you. Dot retires and Richie says he wants to become a hermit due to the follower's incident, then move to a lighthouse, learn to knit and switch to calling himself "Richard".

Lotta tells her story, in which she was so small that no one noticed her next to Tiny, where emphasis is placed on where an adult almost passes her by. They both want to be a superhero with various fans as their idol Little' Lad. Where Lotta offers Tiny a rescue mission, waiting for the public to adore them for doing that feat. Therefore, using an animal contact network, they note that a baby skunk is trapped by a hawk baby. Lotta proposes to Tiny to act as a bait towards the baby hawk while she rescues the skunk, where he traps Tiny. The hawk presses her to delete the video as it will be humiliated by other animals or otherwise plans to eat Tiny. He pressures her to continue with the plan and win enough friends, but Lotta cancels the video saying that she values ​​their friendship much more, where the hawk releases him, and they both hug. Back to the present, Lotta says that her friendship with him is much greater than Little Lad and Dr. Height.

In the present, Tiny tells Lotta that she will always be his superhero, where also says that he was hiding from the Hawk that was chasing him. Incidentally, Richie mentions that he does not care that people come to his mansion without permission due to an open access policy. Richie understands Lotta's message and says that he only cares about Harvey girls as friends, who respond with a hug.

Billy, looking out the window, mentions what happens after the hawk incident. It turns out that after being rescued by Lotta and Tiny, he leaves for Dot's party probably before Lucretia arrives, where Dot gives him a yellow balloon and ties it to his tail to prevent him from losing it. Billy falls in love with her and floats out. Finally, an end card is shown as a balloon heart.
