Plot[]
Orange is saying how bored he is by saying "bored" while repeating the "b" sound at the beginning. Just then, Dane Boedigheimer places down a burrito wrapped in tin foil. Orange starts to annoy the burrito, but soon, Dane puts the burrito in the microwave. Just then, Midget Apple nervously points out to Orange, as well as Pear and Marshmallow, that the burrito has a warning label about how it should never be microwaved, or disastrous consequences will happen. Burrito insists that it's just a birthmark, but as soon as Dane shuts Burrito in the microwave, and starts heating him up, a huge white glow forms from inside, and the microwave short-circuits; it zaps Orange, Pear, Midget Apple, and Marshmallow, and sends them back in time to October 9th, 2009, the day of the first episode.
Past Orange was annoying the past Apple, only to be interrupted when the microwave time machine appears with the present Orange and his friends. Past Apple is even more annoyed that there are now two Oranges in the kitchen. As for Orange, he is stunned to see his past self. Midget Apple is annoyed that Orange, Pear, and Marshmallow haven't realized that the burrito in the microwave created a time machine, so he decides to point it out to them. When Past Apple hears this, he asks them why his future self didn't come along with them. Orange is about to answer Past Apple's question by saying he was killed by a knife, but Pear interrupts him and lies to Past Apple that his future self is on vacation. After that, Pear warns Orange not to mention Knife, which he says as "K-N-I-F-E", to keep suspicion from being aroused. However, Past Orange thinks Pear is talking about a "kuh-niff-ee". Past Apple corrects Past Orange that he's actually talking about Knife, but he soon realizes in horror that he's about to get knifed. Now that the future was revealed to Past Apple, the present gang decides to go back to the present time. Burrito takes a long time to start the time machine up, to which Past Orange asks if he needs a "time-out". Soon, the time machine starts up, sending Orange and his friends back to the present, leaving Past Apple in a panic. Soon after, Past Orange warns him that Knife is coming, so Past Apple rolls away from Knife before he gets cut by him.
Meanwhile, Orange, Pear, Midget Apple, and Marshmallow have returned to the present. But are shocked to see that the kitchen has been overrun by apples. Orange tries to annoy the apples, but the apples see Midget Apple, and, frightened by his size defect, all scream in horror. Just then, Orange and his friends all see Grandpa Lemon, Passion, and Grapefruit locked in a cage by the apples. Grandpa Lemon explains to Orange, Pear, Midget Apple, and Marshmallow that because Apple had escaped Knife, the future had been changed, in which Apple became the king of the kitchen. A robot apple, Robo-Apple, arrives on the scene, and King Apple orders him to shoot at Orange, Pear, Midget Apple, and Marshmallow. They were all horrified by the alternate future, so they escape back to the past to fix everything. When they get back to 2009, Apple begs Orange, Pear, Midget Apple, and Marshmallow to save him, but when Orange and his past self both warn Apple about Knife, Apple is unable to escape from Knife in time, and gets cut up by him. Happy that they had fixed the future, Orange, Pear, Midget Apple, and Marshmallow time travel back to the present. But however, for some strange reason, Past Pear now has many clones.
