Meanwhile, Buster's mom is worried about making Christmas enjoyable for Buster, Binky is struggling to bake Christmas desserts properly, and Francine cannot come to Muffy's huge Christmas party because celebrating Hanukkah with her family is more important to her, but Muffy continuously refuses to take no for an answer by ignoring Francine, causing an argument that has put their friendship on the rocks.
She rejects Arthur, Buster, and George, who later start their own band called We Stink.
After a disappointing 5th birthday party, D.W. is transported to the magical island of Ukubonga, where she is crowned queen.
Meanwhile, Arthur has skipped her birthday party to go on a school trip to the planetarium, and dreams about being four years in the future.
D.W.'s dream is inspired by the children's book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
