Yo, merry Berry Day, Skeebs!

Berry Day's not until tomorrow, Spiral.

Then happy almost Berry Day, Skeebo!

Race you to the Round House!

-You're on! -Let's do it!

Merry Berry Day!

Happy holidays!

Love this time of the year!

-Certainly is merry! -Happy holidays.

Great job, youngsters.

But save a branch or two for me.

You got it, Sir C!

Ready, aim...

Tinsel!

Okay, Grinder, you're up... Literally!

So pretty.

Hope we have a white Berry Day.

Cyli, how do you think Pac's doing?

Well, better than last time

when he had to rescue Santa-Pac from the Netherworld.

But, you know, he always misses his parents during the holidays.

Yeah, we should probably head back to the dorm to check on him,

try and cheer him up.

Hi, guys!

Let's power this bad boy up and get the party started.

This is gonna be the best Berry Day ever!

The Pac is back

Ghosts chomping at his feet

Pac's our hero Pac just can't be beat, yeah

Pac-Man yellow, Pac extreme He's a chowing-down machine

Ghosts, monsters, ghouls And only one can stop them

Pac-Man rules

The Pac is back

Ghosts chomping at his feet

Pac's our hero Pac just can't be beat

The Pac is back!

He shoots! He scores!

You okay, Pacster?

I've never seen you this happy...

While cleaning up a big mess.

-What's the deal, dude? -Nothing.

Hey, beach ball,

I could hear your off-key whistling all the way down the...

Gesundheit!

Look who's turned all domestic.

Maybe when you're done dusting

you can decorate the doorways

and sew yourself a new apron to wear

when you make a big lemon cake!

Great idea, Skeebo! Thanks!

You do understand I'm trying to diss you, right?

I really admire your holiday spirit, Pac,

but I'm kind of wondering why you're suddenly so cheery.

Can't say.

I just know this is gonna be the best Berry Day ever!

Whistle while you can, you warbling windbag!

Because I promise

this will be the worst Berry Day ever.

I'm glad to see my Pacums happy this time of year,

but I can't figure out what's changed.

Maybe the little lemon lovebird's

got a girlfriend!

Not possible.

He's already got a girlfriend!

And you're looking at her!

Actually, we're all averting our eyes in abject terror.

Well, I'm going topside to confront my two-timing ex -boyfriend!

We'd best follow.

Somebody's got to save young Pac

if Pinky's misgivings are correct.

Jingle bells, Buttocks smells Betrayus, go away

Hey! Hi, you guys.

I know why you're so happy!

It's because you've got a new girlfriend,

and all this fussing and cleaning and smiling

is because of her, isn't it?

"Her"?

Is that for her?

"Her" who?

I don't know what you're talking about, Pinky.

You don't, do you?

Then why are you so happy?

-I can't say. -Can't or won't?

Can't?

I hope the two of you are very happy together.

And by that, I mean I hope you're not happy.

In case you didn't get it.

Girls can sure be confusing at times.

Indubitably.

Okay, this is it.

Indeed, it is

the perfect time undplace to ambush the Pac-pest!

Well, what are we waiting for?

Send in the ghosts!

For once, I'm not going to warn my ex, Pacums.

Maybe his new girlfriend can rescue him.

Perhaps we should warn young Pac.

Are you kiddin'?

I'd rather wrestle a dragon

than cross Pinky when she's like this!

You're right. Risking Pinky's wrath is far too dangerous.

Besides, what can a few little ghosts do to our heroic Pac-Man?

Okay.

Deep breaths.

Deep breaths.

'Cause ya never know which breath's gonna be your last!

Time to berry up! Or not!

What a time to forget my dispenser!

Guess I gotta do this old school.

That all you got? Come on, give me your best shot!

How about your second best shot?

Okay.

That was a pretty good shot.

Here we go...

Hello, son!

You're looking well!

Mom? Dad?

Pac!

It's wonderful to see you!

I can't believe it's really you!

You really came!

It's really us, son.

We're really together again!

Sorry we're late, I was...

Yeah, that's my folks!

And that's my boy!

Still with the appetite!

And look how big you are.

We have been away for a very long time, dear.

That's for sure.

But I can't wait to tell my friends

that my parents are back for Berry Day!

Remember what we told you, son!

No one can know that we're here on Pac World

until our secret mission is completed.

It's been really hard, but I haven't told anyone.

Not even Aunt Spheria or Sir C.

I figured you'd want to surprise 'em.

No!

Our mission is too important

to risk our enemies finding out we're here.

Don't worry, son.

Once your mom and I have done what we came to do,

then everyone will know.

Will they ever.

Okay, I think the coast is clear.

Not so clear!

Nowhere to go! No time to hide!

We are so busted, unless...

Hi, Pac!

I really like the way you decorated the dorm.

I was wondering if you'd help me trick out my tree.

Looks like I caught you eating.

Was that a yes?

You know, it's really rude to talk with your mouth full!

Sorry!

It was the only thing I could think of!

And quick thinking it was, son.

No worse than that time we were absorbed

by that giant space amoeba's carnivorous pseudopod

in the Grunge Galaxy, huh, dear?

And way better than getting slimed by a specter!

Thanks to you, Pac, our secret is safe.

I'd offend all of my friends

before I'd disappoint you and Dad!

We know.

And tomorrow I'll sneak into the kitchen

and bake you guys a nice... Spiral!

Can't let him find you!

But let's not do the hiding-in-your-mouth thing.

Yeah.

Hide in here!

The only thing better than a giant holiday dinner

is getting in bed after a giant holiday dinner.

Wait! You can't!

I... I... I... I...

Hid a bunch of presents in your bed

and...

If I take 'em out before Berry Day,

they'll melt...

Or explode... Or something.

You've gotta bunk with Skeebo for a couple of days.

What? Seriously?

-Skeebo? -Please?

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please?

Okay, as long as you don't beg.

I can see that whatever's really going on

is pretty important to you.

Thanks, buddy!

This is gonna be the best Berry Day ever.

So I've been hearing...

Can't wait to see lemon head

open his present and find the petrified

pizza from last Berry Day.

Worst Berry Day Eve ever.

Something's up with Pac and...

I smell a mystery!

That's better than what I smelled all last night.

We gotta find out what's up with Pac

'cause I can't handle camping with Skeeb another night.

There's Pac now!

Yawn more quietly or he'll hear you!

My, my, my, it's Pacberry pie...

That smells good!

But must not eat it!

He's not wolfing it down whole!

How can Pac not be eating that?

Not for me.

Must...

Be strong!

Who in the Pac World could be so important to him

that he'd skip an opportunity to... Duck!

It smells delicious, dear.

'Cause I used your recipe.

It was always your favorite.

My other favorite was your amazing Pac 'n' cheese.

I always loved your mom's smashed Pac-tatoes...

Okay, better stop talking about food

before I flood the place.

Delicious!

Thanks, son.

You're welcome...

I can't see anything.

Wait! There he is!

He's been wearing that hat of his dad's all day.

If that's Pac's dad's hat,

then who's that other guy wearing Pac's dad's hat?

It can only be...

Pac's dad!

Sir C, you're not going to believe this, but...

I still can't believe I had to hear you were back

from Cylindria and Spiral.

You don't understand, no one else,

not even President Spheros, can know we're on Pac World.

Our enemies are hunting us, but if we're successful,

we'll never have to hide again.

Successful in what? Hide from whom?

I can't say.

Well, even if you can't tell me why you're here,

I still have 1,000,000 questions.

Like where have you been and what have you been up to?

Sorry, but it's safer for us not to discuss our history.

Okay, no recent history,

but surely we can talk about old times!

Like when I saved your bacon at the last battle of the big war.

Aerial flak was coming in heavy

and you were too busy battling back to notice.

I managed to tackle you away from that blast just in time.

And thanks to you, I escaped without a scratch!

That's not how I remember it.

A bit of debris from one of the explosions nicked ya,

leaving a little scar on your left cheek.

Matter of fact, it happened on Berry Day.

The last day of the war.

Your memory has always been a little unreliable.

As you can see, I got nicked on my right cheek.

Looks like you're getting even more forgetful, old friend.

My memory may be spotty, but I'll never forget

the day my two dearest friends disappeared from Pac World

without so much as a good-bye!

The last picture I ever took of you

right before you left is one of my most prized possessions.

Even if I can't remember where I put it.

Hey, why don't we open up a few of our Berry Day presents early?

Yeah, well, this old man suddenly feels very tired.

Yawn.

I believe the party is over.

I guess the shock of seeing us is a little too much for you.

Something like that.

Good night!

Well, that could have gone better.

We told you it was a bad idea to let anyone know we were here.

Unfortunately, we didn't know just how nosy your friends were.

Now, I think it's best if you two run along now

and forget you ever saw us.

But we're Pac's best friends. We...

And we are his parents,

so, please go!

Sorry about the secrecy, guys.

But it's going to be okay.

There's just one thing I gotta do for my folks

and then we can all be one big happy family again

in time to celebrate Berry Day!

I've got a bad taste in my mouth,

and it's not from Grinder's cooking.

Yeah.

When we went back in time and met Pac's parents,

they seemed a whole lot nicer.

Something's going on and we're gonna find out what it is!

Son, time is running out.

You must get us into the secret chamber

that holds the Tree Of Life.

But I promised the President I'd never tell anyone

where the tree's hidden.

Then I'm afraid you'll never ever see us again.

No! Why?

Our alien enemies infused a tracking device in our cells,

and only a certain berry from the tree

can eradicate the nanites that infect us.

A berry that only blooms once a year on Berry Day.

You'll do this for us, won't you, son?

I'll help you, Mom.

Pac's not the only one who can sneak around soundlessly.

Be more soundless!

This might take a minute.

Told ya I'd get us past those security tentacles!

Here it is...

The Tree Of Life!

That's not it.

That's not it, either.

Here we are!

And there it is!

Proof! My memory may not be all that great,

but Pac's parents were definitely fibbing through their teeth!

If that scar's switched sides,

there's only one possible conclusion...

Betrayal, aka Betrayus,

and his invention -swiping Dr. Slimestein!

Pac! I believe you're in danger!

Pac! No answer.

I suspect I know what the imposters are after.

Follow me, Grinder!

Thank you for leading us here, Pac.

Undthank you for leading me here,

"Sunny" und"Zac"!

Dr. Buttocks!

Leading him here?

Sir C? Grinder? What's going on?

I'm afraid you've been doubly duped, lad.

And I suspect Dr. Heinie-Head is about to ramble on

as to how it all happened.

Correct!

I realized the only ones that could get you

to reveal the secret location of the Tree Of Life

were your parents.

So, being the genius I am, I created them!

Using a photograph of your parents

that I copied from Sir C,

I created hard -light holo-clones.

I programmed the clones with all the information

Betrayus has in his voluminous war journals,

as well as Pac World newscasts...

Und a few of my favorite limericks.

I knew you'd be so blinded by joy

to reunite with your pathetic parents

that you'd do anything for them...

Even sneak them into the Tree Of Life!

Say good-bye to your pretend parents, Pac-pest!

Undsay good-bye to the Tree Of Life as well,

since you were so kind to lead me to it!

I still have time to make this right.

What? Where are my berries?

Anticipating this moment,

I had your faux folks empty your dispenser

while you weren't looking!

Ghosts got the tree?

What's going on, Pac?

No time to explain.

Give me a lift. I'm out of berries!

-You got it, bro! -Too late!

You are also out of time!

I win! I win!

I win!

That whole story they told me about being on the run,

needing a berry that blooms once a year to save them,

all of it... Just a lie!

They weren't entirely lying.

There is a very special berry that only blooms one day a year,

and the day is today!

You've got to get up there and gobble

that glowing Merry Berry and save that tree!

Then take it to the new location,

which will be...

But how can I get up there?

I got no board and no berries.

So I can't fly!

I've got an idea!

Outside fast!

This one's for you, Mom and Dad...

My real Mom and Dad...

Wherever you are.

Ready... Aim...

Pac attack!

There's the Merry Berry!

All right!

Merry Berry Day!

Oh, dear.

I know what's next undI don't like it.

Got the tree, Sir C!

I'll take it to the new secret location

and meet you all on the flip-side.

Looks like we got our white Berry Day after all!

Yeah, but I didn't get my parents.

Perhaps not, lad,

but I'm certain they're out there somewhere

alive, well, and having amazing adventures just like you!

Their thumbs!

They're pointing at that red star!

I bet that's where they are!

Indeed, Pac, my boy!

I believe you may be right!

We just overheard Betrayus

berating Dr. B's beady eyes

for blowing it yet again.

Since you're not good for anything else,

I command you to be my ornaments!

So Pinky knows you weren't two-timing her.

Which is why I have come

to wish my Pacums a happy holiday.

Thanks to this...

It really is a very merry Berry Day!
