Plot
The episode starts with Agumon and his friends having a mambo dance off. Agumon is doing the mambo and ends his dance with the good ol' "Jazz Hands" and Gatomon beats him with her elegance. Terriermon says "Ohhh! Beaten by a girl!" and Gomamon says "Not your day, Agumon!". Armadillomon says "Ha! That's nothing!" and Hawkmon says "We can dance the mambo better than the both of you!". With that, Armadillomon and Hawkmon start to dance the mambo as a duo. Mario spots the bookshelves and tells Armadillomon and Hawkmon to stop dancing. Armadillomon and Hawkmon tell Mario in unison "Oh! We're not falling for that trick, Mario! You just want to be in the spotlight!" and Mario tells them "But you're heading for-!". Armadillomon and Hawkmon crash into the bookshelves and Mario says sadly "Bookshelf!" before sighing. Armadillomon and Hawkmon apologize for crashing into the bookshelves and clean up the mess they made. After that,the house cellphone rings and the gang notices. Armadillomon says that his cousin Ardvarkmon is calling and then tells his friends "Somebody better get this!". Agumon asks Armadillomon if he can call Ardvarkmon for him and Mario asks "Armadillomon, can I do it? I wanna call Ardvarkmon!". Armadillomon snatches the phone and says while running away with it "I call first dibs!". Agumon and Mario run after Armadillomon and the others do the same as Gatomon says "Hang on, Armadillomon! That's unfair and you know it!" while Flamemon smiles and starts running after his friends. The gang fight over who gets to call Ardvarkmon and soon stop fighting as they see Ardvarkmon calling them using FaceTime. Armadillomon and his friends tell Ardvarkmon in unison "Happy Birthday, Ardvarkmon!" and Ardvarkmon cutely says "Aww! Thanks, guys!". Armadillomon asks Ardvarkmon "Hey, Ardvarkmon! Remember the time where I became a true prince and tickled Sleeping Hawkmon before all the purple pebbles reached the bottom of the giant hourglass?" and Ardvarkmon says "Yeah! Your friend Hawkmon sure is ticklish!". Hawkmon says "Am not!" and Gatomon removes one of her gloves then tickles Hawkmon's belly, causing her to fall on her back laughing. Flamemon snatches the phone and says to Ardvarkmon "Ardvarkmon!". Ardvarkmon tells Flamemon that she's putting him at the singles table at her party and Flamemon gasps then excited says "Oh my gosh! You're my new best friend!". Gomamon snatches the phone from Flamemon and tells Ardvarkmon "Ardvarkmon, you and me are gonna have an arm-wrestling rematch!". Ardvarkmon says "I'm down if you are!", chuckles and asks the gang "Do you have my birthday crown and shoes?". Armadillomon answers as he shows his cousin her birthday crown and shoes "Yessire, cous!" and Ardvarkmon tells the gang that her party will start in 30 minutes. The gang agree to get to Ardvarkmon's party within 30 minutes and hang up. Agumon asks Tentomon how to get to Ardvarkmon's party and Tentomon pulls out his Digital Map. He tells the viewer that the gang has to first get through a barn, then get through the rainforest and they'll get to Ardvarkmon's party in no time.
