The duo cannot believe what they are hearing, and they set out on a quest to prove that age is just a number and that they are still young at heart.
The episode begins with Finn and Jake excitedly waiting outside Princess Bubblegum's castle for a playdate. When the princess finally arrives, they are dismayed to find out that she has invited Butterscotch, her new friend and a fellow scientist, to join them. Determined to show that they are still cool and relevant, Finn and Jake come up with a plan to impress Butterscotch and win back Bubblegum's affection.
Their first attempt involves trying to impress Butterscotch with a new invention, but it fails miserably. Next, they decide to take Butterscotch to a hipster coffee shop, only to find out that the barista there declares them to be "too old" for the coffee shop. Feeling discouraged, Finn and Jake turn to BMO for advice on how to be cool again.
BMO suggests that they visit Wildberry Kingdom and participate in the "Graveyard" dance party, which is known for being the coolest party around. Finn, Jake, and BMO head to the party, and when they arrive, they are amazed at how hip and young everyone at the party seems. They start to dance and quickly become the life of the party. But just when they think they have finally found a place where they belong, disaster strikes.
Princess Bubblegum arrives at the party and scolds Finn and Jake for their behavior. She tells them that they are not young anymore and that it is time for them to accept the fact that they are aging. Finn and Jake are heartbroken by the news and decide to return home to the treehouse.
Back at home, they begin to notice the physical signs of aging, such as grey hair and wrinkles, and they become even more depressed. However, they soon realize that age really is just a number and that they should embrace it. They decide to throw a party of their own, inviting all of their friends and even Princess Bubblegum and Butterscotch to join in on the fun.
The episode ends with Finn and Jake having a blast at their party, surrounded by all of their loved ones. They even manage to impress Princess Bubblegum and win back her friendship.
