The Oddyguard
The episode begins with the end of Puffy AmiYumi's live concert. When the concert ends, enthusiastic fans run over the duo. After the scene, Kaz claimes that he couldn't let that happen again, by telling them financial loss of instrument was unacceptable. He concludes the statement with the decision of hiring them a bodyguard. Ami and Yumi are upset for his decision that could block their excitement, but Kaz says he already made the decision. He introduced the new bodyguard; Wall.
While Wall is dedicated to do his duties as a bodyguard, but his overactive reaction blocks anyone who's near the duo, including mailman and Ami's rubber duck. Ami and Yumi were angered by that, so they complains these in front of Kaz. They also tries to make Kaz fire Wall, while Wall is gone out of the bus to buy duo a pizza. But Kaz reveals that he also tried to fire him and was failed due to Wall's extremely dedicated sense of duty and pride. They decided to make the disaster on purpose, to make Wall going out of the job by himself.
When Wall finds out the tour bus is stolen, the incident Ami and Yumi made up to ditch him, he immediately attempts to catch the bus. This make Ami and Yumi tell Kaz he should speed up the vehicle so they can lose a tail from Wall. They managed to evade him briefly, but when the motor cuts off on the hill, things are becoming the real disaster. They have no choice other than get the help from Wall. He succeeds to save Ami and Yumi from falling into the cliff, even though he failed to save Kaz and himself. After the incident and the next gig, Ami and Yumi admit he was a good person after all, and appreciate him for his help. They also introduce Wall for audiences.
Song Sung Bad
Ami finds out Kaz is writing something. Kaz says what he is doing, writing a song as a hobby. Ami and Yumi also find out he has written a bunch of songs and tell him perform one. At first, Kaz declined that by telling he is "not good at that so much", but he decided to play one for them. His song and overall performance turns out to be extremely lackluster, with Yumi having a laugh of mocking it, but Ami tells him that was great to hear. Yumi also tries to explain the laugh she made in order to force herself give Kaz a praise. Kaz feels very excited for letting him notice his "hidden talents". And with so many ideas to write, he keeps playing and improvising his song in front of Ami and Yumi.
After brushing his teeth, Kaz sees the girls wearing earmugs. Yumi tells him she was cold but his song warmed her, which gives him an idea to write. Then chickens come to the bus to hear him.
When Kaz wasn't in front of them, Yumi tells Ami that complimenting him for "being a good songwriter" was horrible decision and they should tell him the truth. Ami, on the other hand, doesn't want to let him disappointed when he feels very excited and happy. Yumi tries to tell him the truth, but it was revealed to be too late, he already decided to have his debut concert and the tickets were sold out. Ami suggests him rehearses his performance, he declined that and appreciates to her and Yumi.
In the Asahi Theater, the place for Kaz's debut concert, Kaz begins playing his song for audiences. The audiences runs off when his performance was turned out to be terrifying, leaving no more than Ami and Yumi as the only audiences who attend his concert. They pretend to be other audiences, so Kaz won't let down during the performances. Their plan works for a while, until Kaz turns on the light and finds out the theater is already empty. He feels disappointed for being a lousy songwriter and cries for the why he couldn't notice the truth. Ami and Yumi tell him the truth and apologize about it, and he says he was rather thankful for having people who are appreciated for his talents.
At the end, Kaz and the duo play his song inside the farm for chickens, the only group that truly loved his song.

Ami: Of course I do. But... But... Well, alright. I'll do it for you. (Yumi flies through the ceiling) The girl likes her hamburgers.
*Ami and Yumi drive to the nearest Pink Palace Ami mentioned. Yumi notices a line of people as she enters the Pink Palace.*
Yumi: (with a megaphone) Attention! This is a hunger emergency! Calmly step aside and let the most hungry person to the front of the line! That will be me.
Ami: Yumi, you can't do that. They were here first.
Yumi: This isn't about them. It's about me. And I need a burger!
Ami: There's plenty of burgers, wait your turn.

Yumi: NO! (The customer eats the burger and Yumi gets closer to his belly) You were made just for me!
Ami: Yumi, relax. I'm sure they'll make more.
Yumi: This is your fault, Ami! (points at Ami with her finger) You made me wait in the line!
Ami: I'm sorry. Let's just go get some sleep.
Yumi: Is that all you can think about? Your precious sleep? I'm having a crisis here. Now what are you going to do about it?
Ami: Just calm down, Yumi. I'll stay up with you until we find you another open Pink Palace.

Yumi: (sees the Pink Palace) Wrong! (Rejoices while seeing the last of 9 taken burgers) One left! MINE, MINE, MINE!
Bill and Yumi: Cheeseburger, please.
Bill: Look, lady. If I don't get my Pink Palace cheeseburger I get hungry, and you won't like me when I'm hungry.
Yumi: I DON'T LIKE YOU NOW! And besides, I WAS HERE FIRST! Wasn't I, Ami?
Ami: Um... Well... I, uh... It's sort of it was at the same time, so...
Yumi: Uh huh! This is just perfect! You would be on his side, wouldn't you? You just want to go back to sleep this whole time! You put your all needs first!
Ami: Yumi, that's not fair!
Bill: I heard enough, that cheeseburger is mine! (Yumi bites his butt)
Yumi: MY CHEESEBURGER! MINE, MINE, MINE! (Takes the cheeseburger and goes to the bus laughing crazily) Mine... Mine... Mine...
Ami: (enters the bus) You should be ashamed of yourself!
Yumi: No, I should be feeding myself!
Ami: First you wake me up, then you make me ride all over the world for a cheeseburger, and why did I along with this?
Yumi: Because... you're nice?
Ami: Because I was trying to be unselfish so you can get your precious Pink Palace cheeseburger!
Yumi: And now I got it. Everyone wins. (hides the burger) Right?
Ami: You stole it! I didn't even wanna come but you were (imitates Yumi) "You don't even care about your best friend?"! After all that talk about selfishness, you end up being the most selfish of the anyone! Just imagine what that poor guy is going through right now!
*Yumi starts imaging Bill's situation if he didn't get the burger.*
Bill: So... hungry... Must... get to... work...
*Bill thuds and then drags himself to work but didn't realize the clock passed to 9:01. His boss slams the door at him with a sign that says "You are fired!" firing him from work. Then Bill is seen with a sign that says "Will work for burgers". A man and a woman, both rich, pass by his side.*
Rich Man: Ugh, the very idea.
Rich Woman: Indeed.
Bill: (crying) If only that girl hadn't stolen my cheeseburger. WHY?
*The flashback ends. Yumi looks at the burger sadly.*
Burger: Do the right thing, Yumi.
Yumi: Wait! I couldn't live with myself if you lost your job or your money. I guess I was being selfish.
Bill: Gee, thanks!
Yumi: Goodbye, I thought we were meant for each other, but we're only passing strangers in the night...
Bill: Aw, shucks... I kinda like you too.
Yumi: Not you, the cheeseburger! (blows a kiss) Good night, sweet cheeseburger...
Bill: Hey, wait! What if we... share? (separates the burger in two pieces)
*Yumi, like she's about to give a hug, walks happily to the piece of burger Bill offers to her, but Kaz intervenes.*
Kaz: Hey, you're gonna eat that? (eats Yumi's burger piece and sighs) So nice...
Yumi. (grabs Kaz and shakes him to make him spit out the burger) GET IT BACK!
Kaz: What did I do?

Ami: Isn't that sweet? Kaz is worried about our safety.
Kaz: Your safety? What are you talking? I'm worried about your instruments (camera cuts to the broken instruments) Their things don't come cheap, you know? So, I've taken the liberty of hiring for you a bodyguard!
Ami: ボディーガード？ (Bodīgādo?) (Translation: A bodyguard?)
