Story[]
Malibu and Brooklyn want to pursue a music career together, but Malibu is unsure if that is the dream she should follow. Malibu prepares for a road trip with Brooklyn, Skipper and Ken. They will use Skipper's new Match Mutts app to help find homes for dogs along the way. Skipper compiled information about the dogs onto the app. When someone is ready to adopt a dog, there will be an alert telling Skipper and the others where to bring the dog. Skipper also helped Ken to make a map that would help them find several interesting places along the way. Skipper thinks that Match Mutts has potential to lead to a business start-up, so she wants as many positive reviews for her app as possible.
Rafa calls The Barbies and announces that they have an audition to be Jacinda's backup singers in a music video. The audition is in New York in three days, so Brooklyn wants to take an express route to New York.
