When she comes home, they try to hide from her, but as she starts preparing dinner, it draws Kirby out and they have to reveal themselves. Talking to Buttercup, they realize that the reason the house is in such a horrific state is because Chief Bookem insists on keeping all the items from the lost and found in the house, much to Buttercup's objections, and that she tried her best to keep things tidy while she could. Once they understand this, the kids agree to try and protect her image, but are ultimately unable to when King Dedede comes barging in looking for a lost item and discovers the mess. Right away, King Dedede airs a special show on Channel DDD publicly exposing the state of the Bookem household and shaming both Cief Bookem and Buttercup, though unfairly placing the bulk of the blame on Buttercup herself for not keeping the house tidy.

After Kirby defeats the garbage can beast using the Cleaning ability, he finishes up by cleaning the Bookem household, earning Buttercup's eternal gratitude.
