Mr. Hune,
you can't kick us out!

I can do anything I want.
I own the building.

Dad, why are you yelling at the landlord?

Remember, we put holes in the walls,

and we cover them with posters.

Alex...
we're being evicted.

"Evicted" sounds so mean.

I'd prefer to say "Giving you
a chance to live somewhere

that's not here."
That's still mean.

You just said it in a nice way.

Listen, Mr. Hune,
our Sub Station provides

a very valuable service to the community.

Where else are people gonna eat

when they want to call in sick
to work the next day?

Mr. Hune, you don't want
to kick my family out

on the street.
Just look at them.

Look, if your dad

hadn't sold me this building in ,

you wouldn't be in this mess.

So blame your dad, not me.
Nice going, Dad.

Wha... No, his dad,
our grandpa.

Oh, Grandpa Russo.
I love him.

He always pulls a jellybean
out of my ear when I see him.

'Cause I always got one in there.

You have days to pack up and get out.

Wha... wait!

Would this jellybean change your mind?

Fifteen days.

I got us days.
Fifteen days!

We can't lose our home.

I just had a bunch of return
address stickers printed up.

Look, maybe this is a good thing.

Maybe we can finally move to a place

that doesn't have a spiral staircase

where customers can walk
directly into our living room.

Theresa, we can find another home.

The real problem is we
can't find another lair.

That's right.
If we lose the lair,

we'll lose all contact
from the Wizard World.

How are we gonna get there
without a portal?

Well, what if we just shrunk down our lair

with our magic stick thingies
and packed it in a suitcase?

Magic stick thingies?
Yeah.

They're called wands, Max.
What's the matter with you?

I shrunk my brain down so I
could fit in more jellybeans.

Well, make it big again.

Look, we can't shrink the lair.

My great-great-grandfather
chose this place

for the Russo family wizard lair,

and we're not allowed to move it.

Actually, Dad, there's a solution.

We can appeal to the Wizard Council.

Come on.
To the lair!

Really? We're gonna
follow someone that says...

"To the lair"?

The Department of Lair Relocation Services

can fix all of this.

Abraca-doodler,

one lair relocation application, please.

All right, page one...

of four thousand!
Come on!

That's gonna take
you guys months to fill out.

We don't have months.
We have days.

Fifteen days.
You are welcome.

OK, all right, this is ridiculous.

Why don't we just go back in time

and tell Grandpa not to sell
the building to Lenny Hune?

Boom. Problem solved.

Alex, time traveling
can be very hazardous.

Whatever we do in the past

can negatively affect the present day

by causing ripples in the Fabric of Time.

Besides, we don't even
have to worry about that,

because we don't have a time travel device.

Actually, we do.
Come again?

I didn't want to tell you guys about it,

because I didn't want anyone to be tempted,

but it seems like our only option.

Ah, we time travel through
a mysterious crystal orb.

Looks like it didn't work out
too well for the last guy.

No, no, no, honey, this is
actually a bowling ball

that your father bought
when he was gonna go pro.

That could still happen, Theresa.

Here it is, My First Time Machine.

The time traveling device
looks like a kid's toy?

That could be dangerous.

Could you imagine how many kids
are lost in time right now?

There you guys are.

Wait a minute.

Is this another meeting about me?

'Cause you all agreed to
let me stay in the basement

until I graduate.
Just let it go.

Harper, we have to go back
in time to save the lair.

Are you in?

Well, it has been awhile since I've been on

a madcap adventure
with you guys. Why not?

OK. So, Grandpa sold
the building in , right?

No, no, no, you guys!
Just wait.

There's a safer alternative here.

Look, look.
We are on page three.

Oh, paper jam! Come on!

OK, everybody, we're leaving.

Where to?
.

I've heard of that place.

No, Alex, what are you doing?!

Wait, this isn't .

We traveled to .

Justin, you must have bumped the arrow

when you got all grabby with this thing.

I'm only trying to save our universe.

Jerry, we know this song.

Come on, let's shake our
groove things before we go.

I can dig it.

No! No one is shaking
their groove things.

Oh, come on, Justin.

We can't let these fine threads
go to waste. Let's boogie.

We can change the future.
We need to get out of here.

I do love this song, though.

OK, that's enough of
the bump. Let's go.

Hey. This is
my dad's old diner.

Yeah, I've seen this place in pictures.

They should've kept it black and white.

Nice glasses, nerd.

Actually, in the s
we're called "poindexters,"

but you're still called annoying.

Jerry, is that your father?

Oh, my gosh, he's so young.

Hey! Customers!

Can I interest you in today's special,

hamburger soup.

In case you're wondering,
it has nothing to do

with yesterday's special, hamburgers.

He's brilliant.

Yeah, that's definitely your dad, Dad.

Oh.
Ooh, oh!

Don't hurt me.
Just take the money.

There's dollars in the register.
It's all I've got!

I'm not gonna hurt you.
Uh... I'm your son.

My son?
But I don't have any kids.

I'm not even married.
And you're older than me.

Wait... Is that a
My First Time Machine?

Yes.

We used this to travel from the future.

You gave this to me as
part of my wizard training.

I did?
You are my son.

Yes! I'm not going
to die alone!

Uh, Grandpa, I'm waiting.
For what?

For you to pull the
jellybean out of my ear.

Tell me I'm not related to this one.

Don't tell him in the future he
actually eats those jellybeans.

This is your grandson, Max.

And this is your other grandson, Justin.

And this is your granddaughter, Alex.

And I'm Harper.

Just a friend who lives in their basement.

In the basement?

So, in the future, they
get rid of the ghosts?

I told you people I wasn't seeing things.

Nice to see you, Hank.
I'm Theresa.

Oh, my, uh...
wife in the future?

No, Dad.

Actually, she's my wife in the future.

Do I find a wife as beautiful as her?

Well, a lot of people say
I look just like Mom.

Oh, jeepers.

You must be hungry after
all that time travel.

Why don't you take a load off,

and I'll cook you up some grub.

Oh, how much for a bottle of water?

You want me to fill a bottle with water

and charge you for it?

OK, but it sounds a little kooky.

Oh, yeah. See in the future,
people pay a ton of money for...

Shh! You're messing with
the Fabric of Time.

No more talking about the future.

OK, look, let's get down to business.

Grandpa, sometime this year,

a man named Lenny Hune will
offer to buy your building.

And don't sell it to him,

because he's going to
evict us in the future,

and our lair will disappear.
No lair?

A wizard without a lair is like
a telephone without a cord.

Don't worry, kids.

Your grandpa won't sell
this building to Lenny Hune.

Wow, "Grandpa."
Ain't that a kick?

All right now, let's get out of here, guys,

before someone tells Grandpa
about the Internet.

What's the Internet?

I've said too much.

Bye, Grandpa.

Bye, Hank.
Bye, Grandpa.

Oh, look, there's a poodle.

You know your skirt
would look so much cuter

with a poodle on it.

Oh, no.

Hey.

What happened to the Sub Station?

Dad, are we back in our own time?

Yeah, we're here, the same day as we left.

But without the subway car!

Oh, I'm sorry. I should've
said that with a sad voice.

This is exactly what I was afraid of.

Something we did in the past

must have affected our present day.

The lair.

The lair's gone.

You guys should've filled out
that application.

Something we did in

caused a ripple through the Fabric of Time

and made our lair not exist in the present.

OK, well then, we'll
just have to go back to

and figure out what we did wrong.

Oh, that's a brilliant idea.
We're gonna solve the problem

by doing exactly what caused the problem.

Have you not been paying
attention to anything?!

Sweetie... Honey, I think
we do have to go back.

Why?
We left Harper there.

Oh, my gosh, my best friend!

What am I gonna do?
You didn't even notice.

I've got a lot on my mind.
No, we're not going back.

You're just gonna have
to find a new best friend.

Here, Alex, I'll help you out.

What do you look for in a best friend?

You still play with dollies or...

Look, everybody, we have
to go back and fix this.

We need to get our lair back.

OK, all right, fine.

But I'm not wearing those
Poindexter glasses this time.

Oh, good, no glasses this time.

They fell off when you landed, Poindexter.

Future family.
What's buzzing, cousins?

Oh, great. I changed the past
and now we're cousins.

Hank, what's going on here?

Well, as you predicted,
Lenny Hune rolled in

and offered a lot of
do-re-mi for the place.

But I didn't sell it, like I promised.

The problem is I didn't
get enough business.

So, now I gotta shut the place down.

That's why the lair's gone.

When your business failed,
you moved out of the building,

and because our family wasn't here,

that's why the lair disappeared.

So, we can't let this business fail.

OK, well, the only way to do that

is to make this place popular.

There's no time.
I won't own this place tomorrow.

That's when the bank takes it over.

Maybe Justin's right.
We shouldn't be here.

We should just find Harper and leave.


Hank, do you have any idea where Harper is?

At my old High School, Tribeca Prep.

She enrolled there as soon as you left.

Didn't want to hurt her
perfect attendance record.

I'll go get her.

I want to come, too.
I want to check out my locker

and see if my initials are still
there from when I scratched them in.

Max, we went back in time.
You're not even born yet.

Perfect. So I'll just
scratch 'em in now

so I won't have to do it later.

No, no, no! Don't go!

You guys are causing ripples.

Ripples!

Justin, just go!
Go with them

and protect your precious Fabric of Time.

Uh, excuse me. Hi.

Have you seen a girl with red hair,

and an overly peppy attitude

that covers her sadness
right below the surface?

So, I say,
"You better cool it, Daddy-o,

'cause you're cruisin'
for a bruisin'."

Harper?

Ah. Gotta scram, girls.

Oh, Alex, you came back for me!

Now get outta here.

Well. It's nice
to see you, too.

I'm super popular here.

Those poodle skirts?
My idea.

The girls love me.
They do whatever I say!

I am not going back!

Harper, your life is in the future.

If you stayed here, you won't exist,

and we won't ever be friends.

I'm OK with that.

And this little guy
holds about , songs.

Well, let me hear it.
I forgot my headphones.

Well, you know, I don't need headphones

to listen to this.

No? How many songs
does it play?

As many as I want.
It's the radio.

Oh, my gosh, I can hear music.

And you didn't have to pay cents a song?

Ninety-nine cents?
What are you, rich?

This radio thing is awesome.

I'm gonna go to the future and invent that.

Thanks, Tommy.
Whoa, hey, hey.

You never done this before?

No.
Relax. Just slap it.

Give a slap.

Harder.

There you go.
Hey.

What's up?

What are you doing?

You just invented the
high five years too early.

This is a horrible day.

Hey, uh, Harper.

You know, we're going down
to the malt shop tonight.

You're coming, right?

Sure, Tommy.

Wait, you all hang out at the malt shop?

Yeah, the whole school hangs out there.

The whole school, huh?

Hey, everybody.

Harper Finkle's got a new
hangout, the Waverly Diner.

Be there or be square.

You see what I did there?
I can fit in, too.

Alex, what are you doing?

I'm getting customers to the
diner and saving our lair.

So, see you tonight!

This is risky.
This is very, very risky.

I'm gonna put a note in a time capsule,

so one day people will know
I wasn't a part of this.

Are you sure this is gonna work?

Positive. If kids
have fun at your diner,

it'll be their regular hangout,
and you'll stay in business.

But no one's having any fun.

Oh, no.
Tommy doesn't look happy.

And when Tommy's not happy, no one's happy.

He's almost as popular as me.

Hey, Harper.

Why do you guys hang out here?

Their jukebox doesn't even work.

Let's motor.

Wait, wait.
We have music.

We do?
Max has an MP player.

How good are you at
rewiring electronic stuff?

Intermediate to advanced.
Uh... more advanced.

Hook that up to the jukebox.
Max, pull up a good playlist.

We gotta get this party started.

Harper, what happened to all my songs?

I don't know any of these.
Your songs must have changed

when we traveled back to the s.

Who's this Elvis guy?

He'll never get far with a name like that.

Max, bring me the MP player.

We're ready.

Come on, everybody, let's dance!

Ow! My new saddle shoes
are giving me a blister.

I can't dance.

Hey, why isn't anybody dancing with us?

Because we're not Harper.

They do whatever Miss Popularity does.

Oh. I thought I was
Miss Popularity.

Harper, you have to dance with us.

It's our only chance to save this place.

Fine, but if I'm gonna dance,

these puppies gotta run free.

Everyone, dig what Harper's doing.

Dancing in her socks.
That's keen!

This place is boss, Harper.

We're gonna call this a sock hop,

and we're gonna make this place
our regular hangout.

Alex, you did it!
No, we did it.

Yeah, you're right, I did it, though.

Thanks for saving the business, kids.

And, more importantly, the lair.

It was great to see you, Dad.
I'm proud of you, son.

You've done a fine job raising this family.

It's gonna be weird changing
your diapers in a few years.

Ooh, and remember,
I'm allergic to talcum powder.

Well, it's gonna be
your mother's problem anyway.

Bye, Grandpa.
Bye, Grandpa.

Bye, Grandpa.
Thanks, Hank!

Bye!
See you in a few decades!

Our lair!

Our beautiful lair!

Oh, the dust, and the moldy smell.

It's all here!

Ah. Page five of , .

Who was right about
time travel? Me.

Let's go check out the Sub Station.

Still no customers.
I love it!

Uh, excuse me.

Uh... Who are you?

I'm the janitor.
Lenny Hune, Jr.

Lenny Hune, Jr.

Does your dad own the building?

Of course not. You do.

My Dad owns a janitor service.

Well, I'm done for the day.

Gimme a Max.

A Max?

Don't you mean a high five?

What's a high five?
Ah, forget it.

You left me hanging too long.

What?

Oh, come on. Gimme a me.

Well, Justin, I hope you
learned a valuable lesson.

You can go back in time and fix something

without causing any real problems.

Really?

Where's Harper?

All right, well, we have to go back.

No, no, no.
Wait, wait! Alex!

We're back in again!

But I do love this song.

Well, Harper can wait.
