Synopsis: PaRappa and his friends go out and picnic together, as PaRappa fishes, he finds a pendant and gives it to Sunny as a gift, which teleports PaRappa and his friends back in time and they get caught in an unrequited love plot!
Full Plot Summary: One sunny day, PaRappa and his friends decide to have a picnic by the lake. Matt and PaRappa are fishing, or at least PaRappa is trying to fish. While Matt’s catching fish after fish, the only thing in PaRappa’s ring is an old boot. Suddenly, PaRappa feels a “bite” on the end of his line, draws it in, and it turns out to be… a pendant. While everyone else makes fun of PaRappa’s catch, Sunny actually likes the necklace, so PaRappa gives it to her as a gift.
As Matt runs over to tell everyone about a new discovery he’s made, a huge ball of light suddenly burst out of the pendant, sending PaRappa and his friends to some far off place. They find a strange man in the center of it all, who attacks them out of anger, but later apologizes begging them to hear his story. PaRappa and friends reluctantly agree.
Ee-Rey explains that he is an amazing assassin that was hired by one of his neighboring kingdoms to kill the Princess of the Whatever Kingdom. As luck would have it, he instead fell in love with the Princess. Princess Niisa was banned from ever meeting Ee-Rey again, and the despair of this situation caused Ee-Rey to jump into the lake, ending his life. However, instead of dying he was turned into a ghost, and while he was wandering around he found Princess Niisa throwing a precious pendant her family gave her into the lake. That same pendant was what brought PaRappa and his friends where they are now. Ee-Rey also mentions that Princess Niisa is set to marry the prince of the Gibberish Kingdom today, and is saddened that he can’t do anything about it!
While Sunny, Paula and Katy discuss the story they just heard, Katy remembers something important. They don’t know where they are, or even how they got there! Matt recognizes Ee-Rey’s uniform from a soldier in his history book… a soldier from over 200 years ago!
Desperate to go back home, PaRappa and Matt decide to try to recreate the moments before they teleported. Starting with fishing. PaRappa ends up catching a huge Crocodile that attempts to eat PaRappa, but the creature is swiftly killed and cooked by Ee-Rey, who feeds them as a reward for listening to his story. Later that night, as Paula and Katy gawk at Sunny’s pendant, Matt brings up the fact that Princess Niisa’s wedding was that day, and that they probably do something about that. As he runs over to the rest of the group, he trips over PJ, same as before and they teleport through time once more. This time right before the wedding starts.
They see two of Princess Niisa’s servants and hide to try not to get caught. Upon closer inspection, they realize that one of the servants looks a lot like Paula! Venturing further into they castle, they find another servant, who looks like Katy, working directly with Princess Niisa who is revealed to look like Sunny!
Of course, the gang wants to do something to stop the wedding, but Ee-Rey explains that since he’s already dead, it really doesn’t matter anymore. Despite this, PaRappa and his friends are still determined to crash the wedding. Their plan, dress Sunny up in a wedding dress similar to Niisa, and throw her at the altar! Afterwards… well it turns out they really didn’t think this plan through. The king of the Gibberish Kingdom believes that this is some strange plot to keep Niisa from marrying his son. Likewise the King of the Whatever Kingdom is offended at the son he chose to marry his daughter (a man that looks an awful lot like Mr. Shyman) and orders his soldiers to attack, the Gibberish king following suit.
The wedding soon breaks out into an all out war, and Princess Niisa despairs at the scene in front of her calling out to Ee-Rey. Ee-Rey himself is sad, because he believes that all of these events are his fault. He, once again, brings out his storyboards and explains that before he died he made a deal with the devil and asked him to summon heroes of destiny to help Ee-Rey win back Princess Niisa. PaRappa and his friends then pray to god to help stop the fighting. God then comes down (seriously) and then starts chopping onions which make everyone cry so much it makes the entire area flood. He also brings Ee-Rey back to life, and the couple are brought together once more!
After everything’s wrapped up, Ee-Rey and Princess Niisa run away together, and as they leave, Princess Niisa finally throws her wedding bouquet which is caught by Sunny. PaRappa and the gang then teleport back to their original time, thinking that everything that just happened was a dream. Until they realize that Sunny is still holding the bouquet, reminding them of the adventure they just had.
