Synopsis[]

Pastel and friends come to take a break day at Tulip Beach, where she wants to try her new and expensive suntan oil. When she loses the bottle, all sorts of crazy situations take place.

Plot[]

Our story begins with the TwinBee Team taking a break day at Tulip Beach. Light, Pastel, TwinBee and WinBee are playing a match of beach volleyball while Mint is building a sand castle accompanied by GwinBee.

Dr. Cinnamon is also enjoying some time at the beach watching over the kids along with his longtime friend Dr. Mardock. Mardock quickly gets bored of this task, though, and invites his old pal to go get some beers at the local bar. The cook and waiter of this locale happens to be none other than their archenemy, Dr. Warumon, and when the latter notices he has to attend his two old time rivals, he starts getting upset, although he quickly realizes there's nothing he can do about it.

Back on the beach, we find Madoka selling her hand-made special cookies at a branch "Café Fantasian" stand. The word quickly spreads among the beach goers about the cookies' tasty looks and these start selling very well. However, the sweets actually happen to be quite bad and everyone who eats them immediately goes ill. An ambulance quickly rushes to the beach to attend the sick.

Elsewhere, White comes across Miss Apple while she's relaxing at the beach under an umbrella. After a short greeting, she asks him to rub her "Rainbow Color" brand suntan lotion on her back.

Back to the TwinBee Team, Shizu and Saryuto unexpectedly drop by and challenge them to a game of volleyball. Light refuses, explaining that he's currently occupied, but advises him to ask TwinBee and WinBee if they'd like to play with them instead, to which the latter agree. The two android siblings then board their respective Black TwinBee units to even the match against the bumblebee robots.

It's at this point that Pastel takes her precious and expensive bottle of "Venus" brand suntan oil out of her bag and she then goes on a soliloquy about how she had to spend all of her hard-earned money to acquire it, planning to get a great tan and then become the "Tulip Princess" of the summer beach and maybe even win a pageant.

Nevertheless, Light makes an indiscreet remark that no product could be that good; Pastel gets angry at him for saying such thing and prepares to smack him, when the bottle suddenly slips from her hand and goes flying through the air, having the unfortunate luck of TwinBee mistaking it for a beach ball, hitting it as it travels in midair and sending it far away. The bottle lands directly in White's hand, pushing away the "Rainbow Color" bottle he was holding; and without knowing it he starts applying the "Venus" oil on Miss Apple.

Back to the "Café Fantasian" stand, we find that a huge crowd of beach goers have fallen ill for eating Madoka's cookies and Doctor Peach is busy injecting the sick with a syringe while some of the affected are being carried away on stretchers. One of these ill people happens to find the "Rainbow Color" bottle lying on the sand and, mistaking it for water, he drinks from it. Instantly grossed by the oil's icky taste, he throws the bottle inside the bar.

In the bar, Cinnamon and Mardock are getting their fill on food and beer, and also taking the opportunity to have some fun at Warumon's expense. The latter finally loses his patience and prepares to get back at them, but just when he's about to do this, the bottle of "Rainbow Color" oil lands in his hand right as he's about to clench his fist and he ends up spraying out all of its content. Pastel then enters the scene and –noticing that what she thinks is her precious bottle has been emptied– starts crying. ZakoBee quickly notices that the bottle says "Rainbow Color", though, which is known to be a common brand. Hearing this, Pastel calms down and starts thinking what could have happened to her "Venus" brand bottle. After giving it a quick thought, she comes to the conclusion that it could had been switched with Miss Apple's bottle.

Pastel then rushes to where Miss Apple and White are at and asks them if the bottle they're using could be hers. The bottle indeed happens to be her precious "Venus" brand oil, but unfortunately she arrives just in time to see how White is applying the very last drop on Miss Apple.

Disheartened, Pastel begins to slowly walk alone along the beach and then uses a branch to write everybody's names on the sand. She then blames them all for taking part in one way or another in the whole scheme of her losing her precious and expensive "Venus" brand suntan oil bottle.
