Days of Future Presents

Days of Future Presents is the second segment of 13th episode in season 3 of Harvey Street Kids. The title of the episode bears a close resemblance to the comic Days of Future Present.

Synopsis
The Harvey Girls learn about birthday parties and which ones their friends had the best by showing Richie how great it is to have one.

Plot
The episode begins with Lotta asking for help because her rabbits got stuck in the eternal mud puddle, where Dollar rescues them. The others get excited about the rescue, except Richie Rich. The viewer is then shown that said event was an attempt to help Richie, where the participating kids were convinced with five dollars.

In the park's gazebo, the girls want Richie to feel a deep emotion, which is identifiable with giving a thumbs-up, jumping, and smiling with tears in his eyes. Lucretia arrives on the scene, praising Lotta and Dot in their attempt to teach Richie about this concept, to which she responds with a deep feeling denoting such symptoms. Richie comments that he loves the street saying that they are big emotions to not relate to, where he always acts with optimism. In his mind, he and his inner self beckon in approval by pointing their fingers at an island located in the middle of the ocean.

Richie decides to do it, saying that a missing emotion that must be done and avoid it is like avoiding an internet fad. Audrey tells him that she will find a way to get those emotions out and the girls ask him if he has felt it watching a romantic movie, or when he has achieved something, or while having a birthday party. Richie replies that he has never had a party, saying that he has not had time for one, incidentally, he says he does not like to share his true age, saying that nobody cares about a non-millionaire boy. Lotta thinks about throwing a surprise party saying that it will bring out his emotions, Richie asks for a cheesecake and to tell the street kids that he is only over 8 years old.

At the Harvey Girls' HQ, Dollar asks for their help as he has his muzzle stuck in a food pot while the girls plan to throw Richie a party. After helping him, he tells her not to throw him a party because it is not his thing, and Lotta thinks that he has never had one. Dollar says he tried and withdraws.

The girls plan what things they might like for Richie's dream party, citing things they liked on their past birthdays. Lotta liked having lots of puppies, Dot quotes while an actress dressed up as Marie Curie recreates a radio isolator, while a brief instrumental of the traditional "Happy Birthday" song fits the juggling Curie, and Audrey quotes when she had a giant-sized milkshake and then jumped into a pogo.

Audrey suggests asking the street kids for help, where Tiny and Lucretia say yes, which both of them where cleaning the girls' HQ saying that they left the barracks somewhat abandoned when they went to Richie's sky mansion, and Lucretia passes the girls' letters telling them that she had previously opened them. The Harvey girls proceed to bring Richie, possibly from the mansion with Audrey covering his eyes. When they arrive, the girls show him a big party on the block organized by the street kids, with the aim of making him feel all the feelings of the parties he has missed.

The parties, which combine the tastes of two kids to create a unique theme in a way that the Cuddleatures. They are respectively: Bobby and Lucretia's trampoline and pottery party, which consists of jumping while making figures, with Richie giving a thumbs up; Pinkeye's boogers, Fredo's escape from room and Gerald's ukulele party, which consists of escaping from Pinkeye's booger shed using a tune of Gerald's ukulele as a clue; Melvin's laser tag, Frufru's big cakes and The Bow's horse ride, which consists of making a laser tag game with an optional horse riding while Frufru shows Richie a cake with his face, where Richie takes a selfie. The final party is from Tiny's and consists of a plunge into the pool, eating jelly and jumping a half pipe with a bike, where Richie reacts by jumping with pleasure and cries a little while saying that is allergic to jelly, where he sneezes a little to Tiny.

The girls ask him how it went, but Richie does not present the last symptom that is crying with joy. Richie says the party was fine, and he can consider that a victory for the girls. Audrey asks what else is missing, which, when talking about puppies reminds them of Dollar to ask for help. He reminds them that Richie is not good for parties and the girls notice that Richie himself needs to be indulged. In the next scene, Dollar takes Richie for a walk in the park where the girls throw him a surprise party, where Lucretia, The Bow and Tiny are present. The girls tell him that his gift was missing, in which Billy gives it to him, which is a cheese sculpture of the sky mansion.

Each of the rooms references a moment they spent together as: the ice cream incident, the Scrimscram game and when they went to the convention. Dot tells him that the gift combines the good times that the block spent with him and cheese. Frufru also arrives on the scene and Lotta thanks Richie for everything he brought in this summer. Richie is very excited, just as expected and in his mind he starts crying. Into Richie's mental sea comes Feelthulu, which was born from his first deep personal emotion where, according to him it will lead him to an ocean of emotions. Ricky worries and throws himself to the ground while talking about a monster, where the girls tell him not to worry since it is natural to cry along with having alter egos, quoting Hulk Lotta and the Laughin'

Richie for his part, says that he does not consider this normal, along with thanking the girls for becoming best friends and showing him the meaning of childhood. However, with a tantrum he says he does not want to feel it anymore, all while he retires crying back to the mansion. The others are worried, except Lucretia, who seems calm about it and Tiny wants the ship to eat because he did not bring lunch. On Dot's tablet, an elderly Ricky from the future calls them asking for help saying he regrets what happened, asking to be brought back to the street before it's too late. The episode ends with a BRB card featuring Future Richie flying with a Jetpack. In the credits, the viewer can hear the song "All the world is a cookie" referencing the previous episode.
