Synopsis[]
It starts out when Numbuh 3 was a newborn baby, and she received a purple Rainbow Monkey called "My First Rainbow Monkey" at birth. The next couple of scenes show Numbuh 3 taking her first steps, learning to ride a bike, and graduating into the Kids Next Door courtesy of Supreme Leaders Numbuh 100 and Numbuh 274 with My First Rainbow Monkey by her side each time. My First Rainbow Monkey also grows a beard throughout these flashbacks.
Meanwhile, back in the present, Sector V is tracking down Count Spankulot, whom they find spanking a kid in an alley. Just as they have him cornered, they hear a scream from Numbuh 3. The team runs over to her (with Wally reaching her first) and finds her crying, crouched over My First Rainbow Monkey, whose head just fell off.
Back at the treehouse, after Numbuh 3 sews the head back on, Numbuh 1 tries to convince her to let go of My First Rainbow Monkey. Numbuh 3 starts to cry and would not listen so Numbuh 1 left and Numbuh 5 cheers her up with Rainbow Munchies.
On the back of the box is an advertisement for a Rainbow Monkey retirement home. The girls go to the home and the manager shows them around. The tour shows a bingo room where a bored teen is sitting there calling out if anybody has a bingo.
Numbuh 3 says a teary and heartfelt goodbye to My First Rainbow Monkey and leaves him with the manager. The next day, Numbuh 3 is still sad so Numbuh 5 gives her the prize inside the Rainbow Munchies.
The prize turns out to be the button Numbuh 3 sewed on My First Rainbow Monkey.
She realizes that something is wrong and there was something fishy going on so they rush back to the retirement home, but the manager claims he's never seen them before. Numbuh 3 gets in an uncontrollable fit of temper and Numbuh 5 drags her out just to come up with a better plan to bring her more Rainbow Monkeys. Later, the manager finds two rainbow monkeys at the door and takes them in. The manager approaches a red eyed figure and says there's more. He then sends the rainbow monkeys down a chute where countless other old rainbow monkeys are.
The two new rainbow monkeys are then revealed to be Numbuhs 3 and 5 in disguise. While looking for My First Rainbow Monkey and trying to find a way out, Numbuh 5 spots Nurse Claiborne (as seen in Operation: P.I.N.K.-E.Y.E.). Nurse Claiborne has recently been taking old Rainbow Monkey dolls and shredding them into the Rainbow Munchies cereal as it was the only job she could get after the KND exposed the fact that the topping of Nurse Claiborne's apple crumbles was pink-eye crust. And the manager was in on Nurse Claiborneās scheme, which was why he pretended not to recognize Numbuh 3 and 5.
After threatening to drop her into the same shredder that shredded the Rainbow Monkeys, Numbuh's 3 and 5 force Nurse Claiborne to sew all the Rainbow Monkeys back together, including My First Rainbow Monkey.

When your Rainbow Monkey's past his prime,
bring him here to pass the time,
there's peaceful grounds and lots of pillows,
check them into fluffy meadows
