Summary[]
The Dice Cycle is an episode where Chowder wants to ride Mung's Dice Cycle, a bicycle with 8-sided dice instead of wheels, but instead goes to get thrice cream and let it get runover by snailcars. He is afraid of getting in trouble, so Gazpacho tells him to blame it on Ceviche and Chowder ask if he gets in trouble but Gazpacho says don't worry about since Ceviche is the nicest person in town and Mung will understand. So Chowder blames it on Ceviche. However, Mung gets really angry at Ceviche, Mung yells, "CEVICHE WILL PAY!!! With his life. I'm calling Pâté right now. So Pâté will give Ceviche the keeble." Chowder says, "No Mung. Don't call." Mung calls Pate but Chowder keeps hanging up the phone until Mung says Ceviche wrecked Chowder's bike and then Chowder fainted. Pate says he can't believe it and Ceviche cries and says he didn't do it, but Mung challenges Chowder and Ceviche to a duel. Chowder fights with a giant spoon and Ceviche fights with dancing. Chowder was crying while fighting Ceviche. Ceviche begs one more time that he's innocent and says if Chowder doesn't believe him than spoon him and make it fast. There, Chowder feels guilty and admits that he's a liar. He spares Ceviche. The crowd throw rotten food at him as Ceviche is declared the winner. Ceviche says "WOO! I WON!" Mung walks up to Chowder and stated that he knew that Chowder broke the Dice Cycle the whole time and will throw the contest. That's why Mung bet that Chowder would lose, and got a brand new 2-seated Dice Cycle. The episode ends with Chowder and Mung riding the dike.
