* ''Synopsis'': Who else would Mandark designate as Number 1? Not himself of course. All the way through Ego Trip, there was a sensational lacking of one of the single most important characters in the Dexter's Lab franchise. And no, saying her catchphrase is not enough. This then is the story of Number 1, how she came to be, and the real reason why Mandark keeps whipping Number 12.

* Recommended by Cheedo
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' Mandark hopes for Dee Dee to ask him to the Sadie Hawkins Dance, and she agrees to do so when he brings back her old friend Koosy. But Koosy and Mandark don't exactly hit it off. And what's been up with Dexter's acting so depressed? This is more of a one-sided romance for the most part, but Dee Dee does come to like Mandark more by the end, even wanting to dance with him.
