Chapter[]
Plot[]
The chapter begins with PaRappa driving away with his dad's car, who chases after him, shouting that he had only had his license ten minutes. It cuts to PJ, Sunny, and Katy conversing, when PaRappa stops next to them. He walks out, much to the shock of the three.
They all get in the car and start driving at the mountains, and PaRappa ends up driving the car off of a cliff. However, the car continues undamaged, but PaRappa starts daydreaming about going on a romantic date with Sunny, making him lose focus on the road. Just as he was about to give her a great big kiss, he has a head-on collision with a freight truck. This sends the car sailing into space, allowing Katy to snap some photos in mid-orbit before slamming right back down onto the road. This completely destroys the car, making PaRappa wonder how he's going to repay his dad. He then plucks up his courage, and hastily starts looking for a job.
PaRappa eventually decides to sell at the flea market, where Prince Fleaswallow is seen sitting at the back of his canopy, stating that the most important thing about selling goods at his flea market is love, and not money. He tells PaRappa to follow his rap, and thus, the stage itself begins.
