Quincy says that there are three pieces that make a birthday by turning, then clapping, and lastly, up-down move. Then the whole team shows that the machine makes balloons, presents, and cake and it turns out to be a birthday machine. Quincy told that the machine is going to make a whole team birthday. June wishes that they can have their birthdays, but Quincy CAN have their birthdays today as long as they can find all three pieces to build the birthday machine.

So Leo put out his baton and told everyone that they’ve got a mission about find and put the birthday machine together, so they all head inside Rocket, buckle their seatbelts, do the pat sequence, and blast off.

After they blast off, Leo told Quincy to take a look at the blueprint of the birthday machine and Quincy told that first piece of the birthday machine turns around and around, then the second piece of the birthday machine claps, and lastly, the third piece of the birthday machine moves up and down. Afterwards, Annie sing the birthday machine song by using their hands and arms. Then the whole team sang the birthday machine song and then the repeat once again.

Soon, the whole team listen to the first pieces of the birthday machine, which came from the Laurentian Library in Florence, Italy. Soon, the whole team arrived at Florence, Italy and landed at the Laurentian Library and head to the front of the stairwell. Soon, the whole team listened to the first machine of the birthday machine which is came from inside the Laurentian Library. Soon, they all head up stair and inside the Laurentian Library.

Soon, the whole team entered the Laurentian Library and saw the first piece of the birthday machine which is on the second floor of the Laurentian Library. But June said that there's no way to get to the second floor of the Laurentian Library because there aren't any stairs. Soon, a trio of books are dancing off the shelve and clap toward the team and Annie asks a trio of books to form a stairs to get the first piece of the birthday machine. Then a trio of books starts to form a stair that lead to the first piece of the birthday machine, but three books aren't enough so Leo told everyone to clap like a book to wake up more books so they all clap to the beat and soon, the staircase of books is finished and Quincy heads up to get the first piece of the birthday machine, the turning part. Lastly, the staircase of books had unformed and head back to the shelve while the Little Einsteins left the Laurentian Library and blast off inside Rocket.

After the Laurentian Library, Annie sang with the whole team about the birthday machine then Quincy take a look at the blueprint of the birthday machine to show that they got the first piece of the birthday machine, but they still need to get the second piece of the birthday machine which is the clapping part, and the third piece of the birthday machine which is the up down move.

Soon, they heard the second piece of the birthday machine which is the clapping piece, which came from Venice, Italy, and then, Rocket arrived at Venice, Italy, transforms into a gondola. After Rocket transformed into a gondola, they heard and saw the second piece of the birthday machine which is on top of the bridge. But the second piece loses it's balance and falls down onto the blue gondola. Soon, they arrived at the duo of canal and they had to listen carefully to the second piece of the birthday machine that landed on the blue gondola, so the first piece doesn't sound the first piece which is the second piece of the birthday machine on the blue gondola because the flute canal is red gondola so they had to go down the second canal. Then, they arrived at a trio of canal and they had to listen even more carefully for the second part of the birthday machine, and they all know that the first path has the black gondola path and the second path has the yellow gondola, so they had to go down the third path. Soon, they arrived at the blue gondola where the second piece of the birthday machine on the blue gondola, but the green gondola nudge the blue gondola which cause the second piece of the birthday machine to lose it's balance and fell into the canal, so Rocket transforms into a submarine and dive underwater to retrieve the second piece of the birthday machine with his grab-nabber.

Soon, Quincy attached the second piece to the first piece and use the blueprint to show that they found the first two piece of the birthday machine and all they need is the third piece of the birthday machine, the up-down piece. So Rocket blasted out of the water while transforms back into a normal shape.

After, blasting out of the water, Annie sang with the whole team about the birthday machine and then, they heard the last piece of the birthday machine, which is came from the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Piazza del Duomo, Italy. Soon, they arrived at Piazza del Duomo, and landed at the Leaning tower of Pisa.

Therefore, the whole team head to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and made it to the last part of the birthday machine, and once they made it to the top, they noticed that there are three same pieces of the last part of the birthday machine, but they all sound different, so Quincy had to look and listen carefully for the last piece of the birthday machine which sounds like a violin and Quincy got the second last piece of the birthday machine and head back to Rocket and use his grab-nabber to put the last piece of the birthday machine next to the clapping piece. Soon, the birthday machine starts, Annie and the whole team sang the birthday machine song, but the machine needs more power, so they sang the birthday machine louder, forte, and the birthday machine produce more power, but the birthday machine needs even more power, so they sang the birthday machine even louder one last time!
