Summary
Kat and Ana both love sugar on their fruit. Noticing how unhealthy this habit was for them, Young Cricket and Master Mantis come up with a plan to teach the twins the importance of healthy eating.

Plot
The episode starts with Kat and Ana going to a fruit stand that is run by Mona, selecting the type of fruits that they want. Mona suggests that they try the starfruit, guava and dragonfruit, all of which Kat and Ana dislike. To get around the bitter taste of these three fruits, the twins plot to make them into desserts so they would taste better. Master Mantis, who is in the queue behind them warns them that although fruit by itself is good for them, their idea is unhealthy for them, but the ninjas do not listen.

As he turns to his apprentice, Young Cricket, Mantis complains about how disobedient kids these days are to their elders, to which Cricket shrugs in response as he purchases his share of fruits.

When they get back, Kat and Ana start cutting the starfruit, guava and dragonfruit with their katanas. Thinking of how to make their new fruits taste better, they decide to arrange them into strange desserts ranging from cake to ice cream and even daifuku, their favourite dessert of all time. As their snacking went on, their bad habits have caused them to do the same for even the fruits that they already liked such as apples, oranges, mangoes and papayas.

Meanwhile, Master Mantis and Young Cricket were having some homemade fruit salad from the freshly cut fruits that they bought in their dojo. Worried about Kat and Ana's health, Cricket asks Mantis about how they were going to get the twins to understand the importance of eating fresh fruit instead of fruit desserts. The elderly master thinks to himself before whispering his plot into Cricket's ear.

After a week of eating nothing but fruit desserts, Kat and Ana wake up feeling lethargic. Suddenly, their telephone rings and Kat struggles to pick it up. On the other side of the phone, Cricket's voice can be heard, telling them that if they attend a special training session in their dojo, they will be able to eat all the food that they want as a reward. The twins agreed to do so, but of course, without any energy to jump high and fast, they opt to walk instead.

At Cricket's dojo, the twin ninjas were assigned to do a simple task of jumping through the hoops while holding a weighted ball in their hands, which was disguised in plain sight as a beach ball. Kat and Ana tried to lift the ball, but it was too heavy for them. Mantis tells them that if they have no strength to carry the ball, they should at least try jumping through the hoops. Of course, Kat and Ana struggled to do so as well. As a result of consuming too much sugar, they started to have stomachaches, causing them to lie down in a sickly manner. Of course, not wanting the twins to suffer too much, Mantis decides to stop the training and let Kat and Ana have some rest, asking Cricket to look after them while he gets some medicine for the twins.

After Mantis gave Kat and Ana a spoonful of the medicine each, the twins awakened from their sleep and started to feel better. Mantis reprimands the twins for their careless eating habits and tells them that they need to eat healthily to become strong. However, when the twins tried defending themselves saying that Cricket eats nothing but dumplings, he denies it and says that sometimes, he has to eat other types of healthy foods for him to grow strong and have enough energy for training. Cricket adds that they have never tried the foods that they are picky about properly and that was the reason why they disliked them in the first place. When he offers Kat and Ana a fresh cut fruit salad that is a mix of starfruit, dragonfruit and guava, the twins tried it and started liking them. After thanking Cricket for the special salad, he pats their heads, ending the episode.
