Two friends, the narrator and the "Pond Monster," participate in a "Target Gift Swap Challenge." They visit Target, find items that resemble each other, and then rate the items on a scale of 1-10. The challenge has 10 levels, including favorite candy, something the other person likes, and something the other person collects. Throughout the challenge, they engage in playful banter and pranks, including a mystery box that scares the Pond Monster. The challenge gets "out of hand," but they still manage to bond and have fun. In the end, they decide not to complete the final level and instead end the challenge, with the possibility of doing another challenge together in the future.
