Plot
Tom and Hank were packing their things in the driveway for their annual camping trip. Tom goes inside while Hank somehow fits all of his gear into one tiny backpack. Tom tells Ben that laptops weren't allowed at the trip. However, Tom reveals that he invited Angela and Ginger to the camping trip, angering Ben. Tom tells him that they were going to the desert to see an ultramoon, a rare event in which the moon gets extremely close to the Earth.

That night at the desert, Ben wanted to do a hacky sack competition like they used to do, but Tom wanted to cook, Ginger was busy looking for dinosaur bones, and Hank was attempting to play the didgeridoo. Then, Ben sees the ultramoon rising. Hank continued playing, and Ben stormed off.

In privacy, Ben takes out his smuggled laptop. He is shocked to find a signal in the middle of the desert. He receives a message, allegedly from the moon. Convinced he was talking to the Moon, he befriends her.

The next morning, Tom and Hank find him still chatting and flirting with the Moon. Tom wanted to go for a hike, and it was time for the Moon to set. Instead, she comes up with the idea to come on the hike with them. During the hike, however, Ben was constantly on his laptop, still chatting. In the end, Tom tried to talk sense into him, but Ben wouldn't listen.

That night, the friends all pretended they were asteroids in need to help, to separate Ben and the Moon. Ben catches him, accusing Tom of being jealous of his relationship. Then, Ben tried to kiss the Moon. However, the moon got so close to the Earth that the land cracked and the gravity lowered. Then, when Ben saw the friends floating, he told the Moon to stop.

He told Tom to take care, as he was moving to the moon to continue dating it.
