Plot
Minecraftia High School is having its carnival, deemed "The Happiest Place on Earth". Principal Beanson deters a lawyer representing Disneyland and his muscular goons with surprising physical force. Meanwhile, Anna procures a caricature of herself from an artist. Peering at the crude drawing of herself and observing the surrounding crowd's reaction, Anna is horrified at her picture. She exclaims, "Oh my God! I'm ugly!" Elsewhere, Taizo has eagerly entered the raffle at the fair, with the grand prize being the chance to ride in the Duff Beer blimp. He fantasizes about the possibilities of riding in the blimp for a moment before yelling at Mr. Hottenmeyer for winning the second prize, a shoe buffer. However, Taizo's anger is quick to disappear when Beanson announces that Taizo is the winner of the grand prize.

Back at home, Anna is sullen over her realization that she lacks outer beauty. Taizo walks by her room and finds Anna crying on her bed. He notices the problem, but he is unable to fix it. After discussing the concept of beauty with his buddies at the Creeper's Arcade, he is saved through a TV ad. Taizo sees that Laramie Cigarettes is sponsoring this year's "Little Miss Minecraftia" pageant. The entry fee for the pageant is 250 ingots, but Taizo is currently broke. He decides to sell the Digg-a-Cola Blimp ticket to Darren (who receives money from being a lab rat for medical testing) to get the money. Taizo reveals his ticket to Anna, who is still dismayed over her appearance and refuses to participate in the pageant. However, Masuyo shows Anna that Taizo got the entry fee by selling his ticket to the Duff Blimp ride-along. Anna, realizing how much that meant to Taizo, decides to enter the pageant.
