I've got thunder hunger.
Ooh, oatmeal.

Link is coming by with his best

make a good impression.

nothin' to worry about.

to finally meet you.
Can I get you anything
to girl--I mean, drink?
- No, I'm fine.
- Yes, you are.
I'm Max.
- QUINN: [laughs]
- Uh, sorry we're late.
Quinn made us help a family
of ducks cross the road.
- And I'm out.
- It's so cool to meet
your friends, Linky.
- Aw...
I'm sorry, did you
just call him "Linky"?
- Oh, that's Quinn's
nickname for me.
- It's not as good
as your nickname
for me when we were kids.
- BOTH: Quinny-boo-bear!
[laughing]
- What about that cute
nickname you have for me?
- I call you "Phoebe."
- Stop, I'm blushing.
- Excuse me, I have
to call my aunt
and let her know
I got here safely.
- So...
[arm squeaking]
Ta-da!

- You and I have our six month
anniversary this week.
- Oh, and you have
a best friend who's a girl!
- You know, it's funny.
I never quite think
of Quinn as a girl.
We became best friends
because we were both nice kids
raised by supervillains.
Our parents called themselves
"The Frightening Four."
- Wait a minute, her parents
are Insecto and Beetle Girl?
- Well, yes, but I call
them Mr. and Mrs. Murphy.
- They were the bug freaks
who att*cked the Metroburg
Mango Festival.
- Yeah, they go crazy
around mangoes.
But, luckily, your dad
thought fast
and hosed 'em down
with some hot sauce.
- Well, good thing Thunderman
never goes anywhere
without a t*nk of hot sauce.
- Off to check the mail!
- Well, anyway, Quinn's
not like her parents at all.
No bug powers
and as nice as can be.
- Yeah, she seems great.
- See, that's why
I like you so much.
Not a jealous bone
in your body.
- Not me. All my bones
are perfectly cool.
Ha! That should
be my new nickname--
Coolbones!
- Oh, my goodness.
I am so sorry.
Link, could you
get me a broom?
- It's okay. It's just
a silly little birdhouse.
Let me help you.
- Thanks.
Oh, and by the way...
this birdhouse isn't
the only thing
I'll be breaking
apart while I'm here.
- Excuse me?
- Link and I
belong together...
and the only thing
in our way is you.
- Again--excuse me?
- I've got the broom.
- Oh, Phoebe says
she'll finish up.
Uh, we have to
go, Linky.
My aunt is waiting for me.

It just looked so
green and refreshing.

gotta see the video.
- Okay, we'll talk
about that later.
But, first,
we wanna thank you
for being so great
about sharing a room
ever since we put Chloe
in Billy's old room.

we worked all day
and redesigned your room.

room ever!

in your room?

this--kid-to-kid.

be in your shoes.
Seriously, those used
to be my shoes.

there's no such
thing as monsters.

can use as a w*apon?

'Cause I once crippled
a guy with an onion ring.

to talk to you.
- Quick, get me

friend Quinn?
It turns out she's some
sort of crazy mean girl.
She totally hates me.
- Still waitin'
on the crazy part.
- I'm serious, Max.
She even threatened
to break up me and Link.
She made a heart
with her hands,
and then went like this...
- She used mime?
Look, Phoebe,
even if it's true,
why are you telling me?
Tell Link.
- That's the problem.
I can't.
He'll just think I'm
a jealous girlfriend.
And that's not how
Coolbones rolls.
- Seriously, get me
an onion ring!
- But if he sees her
being mean to me again,
he'll know she's bad news.
And since you're
always mean to me,
I thought you could help
get the ball rolling.
- Look, Phoebe, I'd love
to help you, but...
[laughing]
I'm just kidding.
I'd hate to help you.
- So, you'd rather
glue cards to your head

Thanks a lot.
