[Tater reading]
[Tater squealing
with excitement]
Tater: This has to be the preview
of the new Romancimorphs book!
Serena: Ooh! Who do you think
this one will be about?
Merman? Another
moray foray?
Or Capybara!
Okay, girls, the moment
you've been waiting for.
[both] The Spyclops
Who Loved Me!
We're having a special
book debut tomorrow,
and I promise you won't
want to miss it.
Ms. Mahoney,
we would never!
N.K. Scheinhorn
does it again.
Turns out there's more
room in this little heart
for one more hero,
even if it isn't
my sweet Capybara.
[man scoffs]
So cringe.
Wait, brah. Didn't you
used to read those books?
Yeah, and I used to wear
diapers too,
but at least
I never liked Capybara.
More like Sappy-bara,
am I right?
Oh, you ignorant philistines.
-My darling Capybara is the
heart and soul of the series.
-[♪ romantic music playing]
Romancimorphs would
just be Morphs
without the romance
of Capybara.
-[both laughing]
-[♪ romantic music ends]
-Ah, she's so cringe.
-Stop breathing, her cringe
might be contagious.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
-[laughing]
-Capybara is the worst!
Come on, Tater.
Let's go.
So cringe.
So cringe!
Ugh, teens!
-[knees clacking]
-Uh, Tater?
Are you okay?
Capybara isn't
a joke character.
He's the best one.
Yeah... I always thought
you were really brave
for liking him.
So he is embarrassing.
And I guess the
whole series is too.
[squeaks away]
Wait, what?
[♪ somber music playing]
Is this all cringe?
My love...
[sniffs]
I smell heartbreak.
Oh, Tater!
[clears throat]
Uh, any final form plans
today there, kiddo?
All plans must
be put on hold,
Vision Tiger.
Because today I learned
that the series
upon which I formed
my early identity
is... cringe.
And if my tender Capybara
is the most cringe of all...
Oh, now, wait a
minute there, Tater.
Does that mean that I,
too, am cringe?
"Cringe." You keep
using that word.
I don't think it means
what you think it means.
Because you love
Romancimorphs.
Don't you remember
the first time you
wore your Capy costume?
[grunts]
Nice try, Vision Tiger.
It is time for me to bid
farewell to the cringe
passions of my past.
But no one can
go cold turkey.
I must find a more
sophisticated interest.
Go to your rest,
Sun,
for tomorrow, you dawn
upon a better turkey.
Uh, Tater.
Not turkey.
[whispering]
Tater...
[breath exhales]
Rawr, rawr!
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Well, hello.
Do you have
a big brother?
Why, yes, I do.
Let's fight! Rawr!
Hmm, the dramatic arts, eh?
A sophisticated new pursuit!
Perhaps I should
try my hand at...
[British accent]
Theatre!
-[♪ sweeping music playing]
-Oh, my love.
My time is near.
I hope to leave the world
a brighter place.
[imitating man]
It is brighter,
my love.
[Nachito crying]
[sniffling]
No, Emily Bronte-saurus!
[exclaiming]
Live!
[sobbing]
What am I doing?
I'm just recreating
the Romancimorphs
"Jurassic Spark" saga.
[British accent]
I need something
more refined
and far away from
Romancimorphs.
Ooh! Mature literature.
[giggles]
Hiya, T-Sisters...
[forced casualness]
Whatcha doing?
Why are you asking
like that?
It's weird.
What's so weird about me
expressing interest
in my parina's interests?
[chiming]
Oh, just give her
one to shut her up.
Oh, affection
assessment?
It's a quiz to find out
if you and your
boo will make it.
But I don't
have a boo.
So? Just use
your imagination.
Hmm...
So, you see,
Capy was smart
to leave Jaguar.
Their attachment styles
are fundamentally
incompatible.
And so were their paws.
Tater! Who knew you had
all this spicy cheese menu?
Sure, all of it's
from your animal books,
but this is juicy stuff.
My animal books?
[groans]
Not again!
Oh, Romancimorphs.
Why can't I quit you?
[grunting]
[continues grunting]
Buela!
Should I call
a doctor?
Move it or
lose it, mija.
¡'Buela esta bailando!
Aha! What's a more
sophisticated
and mature interest
than dance?
"Mature"? Who you
calling vieja?
Can you please teach
me how to dance?
Watch and learn, mija.
There's still some
salt in this shaker.
[Tater laughing]
I'm doing it!
Now you can
dance the mambo.
The mambo? That reminds
me of Romancimorphs.
Merman's story
is all about the mambo.
He goes on a
quest to get--
Oh... [groans]
What's wrong with me?
No. No. No!
No matter what I do,
I keep coming back.
Am I really
so pathetic?
So cringe.
So cringe!
More like Sappy-bara!
[both laughing]
Tater! You don't have to
listen to these people. Oof!
[groans and whimpers]
[both laughing] So cringe,
so cringe!
[yells]
No more.
This is it!
Sayonara, Capybara.
[grunting with effort]
What's stopping me?
Of course.
The destruction of any book,
however cringe,
is too heinous
a crime for a little
book nerd like me.
I'll donate you
to the library!
Give you a chance
at a better life, ha-ha!
But not with me.
Not with me!
[laughing maniacally]
Uh, is Small Fry okay?
Yeah, she's on some real
next-level stuff today.
[rustling]
That isn't Tater.
Who are you?
What? I'm Serena.
Tater and I
had a sleepover.
Oh! Everybody,
it's Pizza Bagels!
[all] Oh!
You here to wreck
the toilet again?
What? No, I'm
here to go to the
library with Tater,
but I saw her throw
her Romancimorphs
stuff in the trash.
Oh, but she loves
that stuff.
And that's why we
have to help her.

-Oh, Capy...
Ooh...
[male voice]
Help me, Tater!
Help me, Tater!
Don't leave us here!
Oh, actually,
I'm good, fam!
[clicking]
Tater, it's me,
Capybara.
Oh, there is, like,
so much space there.
We can definitely
both be saved.
Help me...
[voice fading]
-[Ms. Mahoney] Tater!
-[yelps]
You made it.
We've got a special guest
for today's book debut.
[Tater] N.K. Scheinhorn!
[gasps] She's here!
You've done so much
for the library.
So I thought it was time
we did something for you.
Ms. Mahoney, do you think
Romancimorphs is cringe?
And maybe that
I'm cringe too?
Were you happy
reading your books?
Yes. [sighs]
Isn't it embarrassing
to like things
like this so much?
Nothing that makes you happy
can truly be embarrassing.
And look how many other
people it's made happy too.
[both gasp]
-[whimpering]
-[whistling]
What matters more
to you, Tater?
Being cool or being happy
with something you love?
But my final form.
Shouldn't she be cool?
Does that really
mean letting go of
the things you love?
One day, are you going
to let me go too? [mewls]
Tiger! No, never.
[Vision Tiger purrs]
You're right.
I love Romancimorphs.
I love Capybara.
And gosh darn it,
I'll always love you, Tiger.
I'm not gonna do it.
Tater, don't do it!
Serena? Primos?
What is this?
It's an intervention.
Oh! That's okay.
I think I just
intervened myself.
I realized that being
passionate about something
you love is great.
Especially if you have
a friend to share it with.
Ooh! My Capy costume!
Capybara for life!
[N.K. Scheinhorn] Is
that a Capybara fan?
I haven't seen Capybara
cosplay in ages.
[squeals]
-[sobbing]
-Can we take a photo?
That means yes,
Ms. N.K. Scheinhorn!
[Tater] Spyclops was so good.
How is N.K. Scheinhorn
gonna top that?
Oh, don't worry,
she's done it again.
[Serena gasps]
-[Serena] Capy-ccino?
-[Tater] Extra Foam?
Hey, is it just me,
or does that new
character look like you?
[gobbling]
[angelic harmonizing]
