Both girls are relieved when their precious toys are returned at the end of the day and go home to happily eat dinner and go to bed. In the middle of the night, Trixie wakes up and realizes that the she has Sonja's bunny! She wakes Daddy up and insists that they correct this problem, even if it is 2:30 AM! Before he can even get to the phone to place a call to Sonja's dad, the phone is already ringing. The dads make arrangements and meet to exchange bunnies. In the end, Sonja and Trixie find their first best friends in each other, excluding their bunnies of course!
