Sprunki Babies, Episode 34: "A Farewell to Funbot"
---
The Beat Box nursery was full of laughter as Funbot led the Sprunkis in a lively game of Simon Says. His cheerful screen displayed a big grin as he shouted, “Simon says… hop on one foot!”
The Sprunkis laughed and hopped around, their giggles filling the room.
“You’re the best, Funbot!” Gray said, beaming as he struggled to keep his balance.
Funbot beeped happily. “Thank you, Gray! Making you smile is my favorite thing to do!”
Just as the game wrapped up, a knock at the door interrupted the fun. Ripple opened it to reveal Garnold, with his shiny visor glinting in the sun, and Clukr, standing confidently with his cymbal-like high top.
“Hello, everyone,” Garnold said, clearing his throat. “We’re here to take Funbot back to our workshop.”

The Sprunkis froze, their smiles fading as they processed Garnold’s words.
“But… Funbot is our friend!” Pinki exclaimed, her voice trembling.
Clukr crossed his arms. “We know he’s been a great friend, but Funbot is also one of our most important creations. He needs updates and testing to make sure he’s ready for future projects.”
Ripple knelt down beside the Sprunkis. “I know it’s hard, but Garnold and Clukr are right. Funbot is their creation, and they need to take care of him.”
Danny added gently, “And just because he’s leaving doesn’t mean you’ll forget the fun times you’ve had.”
Funbot rolled forward, his screen showing a heart. “I will miss you all so much. You’ve made my time here unforgettable.”
---
Tears welled up in the Sprunkis’ eyes. Pinki quickly ran to her art corner and drew a picture of Funbot surrounded by all the Sprunkis. She handed it to him. “So you’ll always remember us.”
Funbot accepted the drawing, his screen displaying a warm smile. “Thank you, Pinki. I will treasure this forever.”
Bianca handed Garnold a small box filled with items Funbot had enjoyed during his time at the Beat Box. “These are some keepsakes from his time here. They might remind him of the nursery.”
Garnold nodded, taking the box. “Thank you. We’ll make sure he keeps these memories.”
---
As Garnold and Clukr prepared to leave with Funbot, Ripple gathered the Sprunkis for a group hug. “Let’s say goodbye and thank Funbot for all the joy he’s brought us.”
The Sprunkis hugged Funbot tightly, their tears mixing with smiles. “We’ll miss you!” Wenda whispered.
“I’ll miss you too,” Funbot replied, his screen displaying a sad but loving face. “You’ve all been the best friends I could ever ask for.”
---
As Funbot rolled away beside Garnold and Clukr, the nursery felt quieter. Ripple and Danny gathered the Sprunkis together, comforting them as they processed the farewell.
“It’s okay to feel sad,” Ripple said softly. “Funbot was special to all of us, and it’s okay to miss him.”
Danny added, “But remember, the memories you made with Funbot will always stay with you. And that’s something no one can take away.”
---
In the following days, the Sprunkis created a scrapbook filled with their favorite memories of Funbot. They drew pictures of their favorite games, wrote down his funniest jokes, and included photos of him leading their activities.
“This is our way of saying goodbye,” Pinki said as they added the final page.
Bianca smiled warmly. “And it’s a reminder that Funbot will always be a part of the Beat Box, even if he’s not here with us.”
---
That evening, the Sprunkis gathered to look through the scrapbook one last time. As they flipped through the pages, they laughed and smiled, remembering all the joy Funbot had brought them.
As they drifted off to sleep, they knew that while Funbot wouldn’t be a regular part of their lives anymore, the happiness he had given them would stay in their hearts forever.
