However hecomes intimidated by the presence of Joe Chin who goes overboard with trying to impress Sunny. In hopes of impressing her, Parappa learns to fight at a Kung-fu Dojo and take a driver's education course to get his license.

PaRappa, PJ, Sunny, and Katy are hanging out at the fast food joint, when a bully and his lacky come into the place. They approach the table and begin to harass the group, and flirt with Sunny, who shows no interest in going anywhere with the bully. Just then, Joe Chin shows up to "save" them. He talks the bully and his lacky down, but all of this talk chases the foursome away, all except for Parappa, who thinks he should be a hero too. He begins to picture himself beating up the bullies, but feels there isn't any way he could actually do this, until he convinces himself that he just has to believe in himself.

He goes to the Dojo where Chop Chop Master Onion seems to have been waiting for him. He asks PaRappa if he has come to redeem himself and he offers to help him, but only if he can keep up with him in a rap.

After the song, It cuts to Joe chin, who has just finished his "simple" self-introduction to the bullies. He plans to knock them out but he saw that they have fainted!

The foursome have gone to enjoy some sweet treats at Phat Donut. Sunny asks the others what they would like to do that day since its so nice out. PaRappa suggests they go to the beach and they all agree when Katy asks if they would need a car to get anywhere. To which they also mention they need a licence too, as none of them drive. Just then a big red limousine pulls up and they stare in awe. They go over all of the fine details as it comes to a stop and see that it belongs to Joe Chin, he asks them how they like it and show them that it is a convertible. They seem impressed as he invites the girls to take a ride with him. He allows them to sit in the front with him but makes PaRappa and PJ Berri sit in the way back of the limo...

PaRappa soon begins to picture himself driving his own car with Sunny next to him. He would be so happy to be able to take Sunny anywhere when he suddenly gets an idea. He'll go and get his licence so that he can impress Sunny.

At the driving course, the course teacher will only let PaRappa pass depending on how well he does in a rap...

After he clears the song, PaRappa goes to get his lisence photo taken but a random feather causes him to sneeze at the last second. So, PaRappa drove away from his house, only for his dad to chase after him shouting that PaRappa only had his license ten minutes. The scene cuts to Sunny Funny, PJ Berri, and Katy Kat talking to each other when PaRappa stops his car near them. He walks out, much to the shock of the three. They all go on a drive somewhere.

Eventually, PaRappa, as usual, begins to daydream about he and Sunny together, eventually causing him to crash into a truck, flinging them high into space. The car literally "hits the road" and breaks into pieces. After crashing his dad's car, Parappa has to earn money at the flea market to pay for it. PaRappa thinks about the consequences of his actions, and how he can regain the money. Finally, he says his catchphrase, "I gotta believe!"
