When he saw Niki’s friends, Mike and Sam, passed by him, he tries to get them to visit him, but they only replied that it is hot and they were heading to the beach. When Tingo watches TV, the weatherman replies that it is hot and he is going to the beach. Tingo is upset that he, Niki, and the mice are the only ones not going to the beach.
