Stowing away aboard the Flyer, the 'not-so-brilliant' budgie unwittingly returns to the present...then promptly disappears.

It's the 7th anniversary of the Day Misery Was Rescued from an Ice Floe and Ruby wants to make it extra special. She invites Misery's cousins, Malady and Malaise to join the festivities. The longer they stay however, the colder the house gets, until it completely freezes over. Misery reveals the only way to de-ice the situation is to separate Malady and Malaise.

When Misery is off to visit a relative, the clouds, rain and entire storm system seems to go with her. The unthinkable happens…it's SUNNY!

The gang – especially Ruby and Skull Boy - get a little bit closer when they hole themselves up in the basement, and tell secrets that are normally reserved for crisis situations. Confessions and flashbacks culminate in an outpouring of honesty. Ruby's about to tell Skull Boy how much she likes him, when a drop of water leaks down from above. Misery has returned along with the rain. They all run upstairs and slosh outside in the rain. Skull Boy asks Ruby what she was going to say to him before the rain came. She smiles, "let's save that story for another sunny day"...
