Fatty Bear and Matilda Rabbit then head to the kitchen in order to start making the cake.In the kitchen, Fatty Bear discovers a present box and becomes curious as to what could be in it. Much to his surprise, a female puppy bursts out of the box and starts causing havoc around the house. When Fatty Bear returns to Kayla's room, Gretchen tells him that the puppy stole three of the letters to the Happy Birthday sign and tasks the bear with finding them, as well as blowing five balloons for her, which he does.
Using a bone and a ribbon he found, Fatty Bear lures the puppy back into her present box and wraps the box back up. After baking the cake for the party and returning the missing letters, Fatty Bear jumps onto Kayla's bed and goes back to stuffed animal form as morning comes. Kayla then awakens and expresses delight with how beautiful her room looks. Her father then comes in to deliver her surprise, which turns out to be the puppy. Kayla appreciates her birthday party and thanks everyone for it, especially Fatty Bear, to whom she gives a big hug, ending the game.
