[♪ instrumental music playing]

[Star] They were the biggest names

-in Chibi music.
-[fans cheering]

[Star] Their rise and fall
is one for the chibistory books.

I'm talking about The Quackstreet Boys.

They're so dang cute!

We were everywhere,
we were every... thing.

We started out the way most boy bands do.
At a haunted mansion!

[Cricket] My boys and I were
at the haunted mansion that night.

Being cool and brave,
the way we always are.

-[growls]
-[screams in harmony] Ah!

[girls giggling]

That was the moment everything changed.

[Dewey] I don't remember who came up
with the name "Quackstreet Boys,"

only that we were obsessed

as soon as I-- Uh, someone said it.

What a lot of people forget is that
these boys were actually friends first,

band second, cuties third, hotties fourth.

[Cricket] I remember when
we were first starting out.

It was all about music and friendship.

[Barry] Four of us were equals.

Like a friend rectangle. I mean square.

We were roughin' it
for almost 12 whole minutes

before we got discovered.
But lucky for us,

it was by the most well connected

and ruthless music producer in town.

When you've been in this business
as long as I have,

you know talent when you see it.

[Dewey] It took a while
to come up with our first song.

[♪ singing] ♪ Do-do-do-do-Dewey
Dewey, Dewey! ♪

♪ Do-do Dewey, what am I doing, Dewey? ♪

♪ Dewey, Dewey, what is that smell? ♪

♪ It's Dewey ♪

[Cricket] But once Dewey took
a sip of water,

we had a golden window of opportunity!

How about...

-[singing] ♪ We got some fame ♪
-♪ And fortune too! ♪

♪ But the most important thing
is friendship ♪

[all] ♪ Woo woo! ♪

And just like that, we had a hit.

Wait! Before we sing it,

can we all promise we're never
going to let fame change us?

-Absolutely.
-Okay, cool, we can sing now.

Quackstreet Boys were
brilliant performers,

so I did what any talent manager would do.

Put them in tiny little boxes.

[Star] Scott was the sensitive one.

Cricket, the bad boy, Dewey the showboat,

and Barry was... the Barry.

What up, Quack Fam?

Welcome to
the Quackstreet Boys' private jet

that is definitely ours,
and not my famous, wealthy uncle's.

We got sensitive Scotty
goin' through fan mail.

This one is a promposal!
Should I go? What should I wear?

Are bowties still a thing?

-[Dewey] Bad boy Cricket's kickin' stuff!
-Ow!

Could I get some ice?

This bad boy lifestyle
is making my toe sore.

[Dewey] And my bunny boy's
havin' an existential crisis!

No.

Nope. Not right.

What does it mean to be The Barry?

We were so young back then, so innocent.

Look! It's a carrier pigeon
with more fan mail!

-Let's let him in!
-[others] No! No! No!

Some critics questioned
if the boys were ready to go

on a planet-wide tour with only one song.

But the real question was...

[slurping]

...was the Chibiverse ready?

Our tour was a real roller coaster...

-[♪ drum music playing]
-...literally.

Because we were on a roller coaster.

-♪ And fortune too ♪

♪ But the most important thing

[all] ♪ Woo woo! ♪

♪ Got a record deal ♪

♪ But let's be real ♪

♪ Scream and shout! ♪

♪ Totally remember my friend's
names without a doubt! ♪

♪ We got fame and fortune! ♪

♪ What was the third thing? ♪

♪ Whoa-oh, we forgot
what the third thing was! ♪

They were unstoppable,
their music untoppable,

their Quackstreet Boys branded popcorn?

Unpoppable!

[chomping]

But still a best-seller!

They were on top of the world.

When you're so high up,
you can only go... down.

What up, Quack Fam?

We're backstage at the Chibi Music Awards,

where we just won every single award.

And we're about to party! [giggles]

Uh, guys, what's wrong?

Hello? You can't just
look into the distance all sad!

[Cricket] My bad boy persona
and double foot casts

had turned me into the thing
I feared most.

-A fancy shoe style icon.
-[camera shutter clicking]

I got so much fan mail,
that I broke the Chibiverse record

for most paper cuts!
They gave me the certificate to prove it.

Ow! I got another one!

What if instead of the Barry one,

I was the scary one?

Aw, what pop group has "a scary one"?

I can't do this anymore.

Maybe someone should have stepped in,
given them a break.

But as their manager,
it wasn't my job to figure out

who that person would even be!

You three need to toughen up!
Or I don't know,

manage your time better
so my dreams can come true!

It's always me, me, me with you isn't it?

Don't be silly. It's not you, you, you.

-It's me, me, me.
-What?

This band was supposed to be
about friendship!

Now all this fame stuff ruined it!

You even took us out of the poster.

Ow! Papercut.

-Can't even see us!
-Ugh. It's not my fault

you're not using your
Quackstreet Boys branded magnifying glass!

You changed, Dewey.
The one thing we promised not to do.

Well, maybe change is good.

Like me changing this band
into a solo act!

You wouldn't!

He would.

Dewey had an... interesting solo career

with hits like "This Is Fun,"
"Actually, I Miss My Friends"

and "Why Did I Do This?"

Those boys were my best pals.
I didn't really want to go solo.

I just wanted their emotional validation.

But it's too late now.

Dewey, we'll always be top tier dude bros,

after all,

we're all at the same costume party!

Maybe we can still perform one last time,
for old times' sake?

We only broke up a week ago,

I'm sure the Chibiverse
hasn't moved on that fast!

But alas, we had.

Wait, what? To who?

Chibis and gentle-chibis!
