[giggles]

[vibration pounding]

The vibrations are compromising

even the non-rigid
amorphous structures.

Please tell me that's nerd for

"everything's going to be okay."

Oh! This is all my fault!

Why did I want
those stupid, stupid sneakers?

[Lunella] Nope and nope.
Nope and nope.

Oh! Yes!

- Bobby the man!

♪ Stiltin'

Oh, hey.
Notice anything different?

Huh. Your hair is
...635 centimeters shorter?

No, that's not it.

Mirame. They're Beast-O 3s!

From the Bobby the Myth song?

Yup. They cost--

Which is why I spent
my entire weekend

entering social media contests
to win a pair.

I'm pretty sure
the finger cramps'll be worth it.

Well, I spent my weekend
getting new sneaks, too.

And behold!

I installed a gecko-inspired

synthetic sea tile on the bottom,

giving them super grip so your girl

will never slip
in P.E. ever again.

Impressed by your tech, obvs,

but let's let these shoes

have their moment in the sun.

But not literally.
It's best if they're kept

in a climate-controlled
environment.

They're cool,
but I'm not really into

the whole trends thing.

So you can do you

and I'll just do...

[animals growling]

...me.

[♪]

Casey! You're beastin'

- in those Beast-O 3s.
- Yeah. Good looks.

Thanks, mirame.

Ugh. Case.

I... feel... strange.

[gasps] Did it happen?

Oh, they grow up so fast.

I'll get the heating pad.

No, no, it's not that.

It's those stupid shoes.

Now I feel weird
being the only one

in the world without a pair.

Don't be dramatic.
You're not the only one.

[♪]

[cackles]

Behold! I am...

You have got to be kidding me!

Ugh, you don't even have feet!

No, but I got taste.

- [Moon Girl grunts]
- [snickers]

[grunting]

Ugh! I have got to get a pair.

- [Devil questions]
- I'll just ask my mom.

I mean, look at this face.

There's no way she'd say...

No.

Please, Mom!

They only cost--

What do you mean--?

Have you lost your mind?

You already have a pair of shoes.

But everyone at school has them.

If everyone wore a banana on their head,
would you do it?

Well, potassium is one of the most
important minerals in the body.

It helps regulate nerve signals.

Well, my nerve is signaling no.

Besides, we raised
you better than to chase

- after the Joneses.
- [James gasps]

That braggadocious Jimmy
just posted a new picture

of him eating caviar
at a fancy restaurant.

What about me? I want caviar, too!

Look, it's not what's on your feet,

it's what between your ears.

[kisses]

You're right! I'll use

that stuff between my ears!

[♪]

[elevator bell dings]

Hey, ladies...

[saw whirring]

- [saw buzzing]
- Did you--?

Take a CO2 absorbing

ventilation system,
combine with hydrogen

to create carbon filament,

then use said filament

in a hand-crafted digital blueprint

to 3-D print a pair

of the hottest sneakers in the world.

- And you know it.
- [Devil exclaims]

Sorry, D.

[quietly] His process requires silence.

So you created primo fabric

via groundbreaking
artificial photosynthesis

to make a pair of knock-offs?

I prefer the term scientific substitute.

And I need these shoes.

With my tech,
and Devil's steady claw,

no one will even know the difference.

Yo! What are those?!

[nervously] They're Beast-O 3s.
Duh! Heh.

Beast-O 3s?

More like Beast No Please!

The logo isn't even right.

Dang it, Devil.

[laughter]

Hit me.

Sorry, Lu, but I'm cutting you off.

I present to you...

Wish-Tar!

Got it for a great price,

straight from Coney Island!

Cha-ching!

I wish I was eatin' caviar

for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

[whirrs] Your wish is granted.

You hear that?
I'm gonna live like a king!

Back to work, Your Highness.

Comin', Ma.

Maybe playing the machine

will help you get
your mind off things?

Okay, fine.

I wish I could get back the 20

I spent on 3-D printing supplies,

more nacho cheese

and those Beast-O 3s.

[whirrs]
Your wish is granted.

[malfunctioning warbled speech]

[powers off]

[both exclaim]

[sinister laugh]

Miss me?

[♪]

[♪]

Beyonder?

Ooh!

My sciatic nerve is barkin'.

- [howling]
- Yeah, you got a lot of nerve

poppin' up here.

Can you get into disguise
or something?

Jeez! What's with all the hostility?

What did I ever do to you?

[scoffs] Let's see.

You got me stuck

in an interdimensional wasteland.

Turned Coney Island
into a creepy m*rder park.

And almost destroyed
our entire planet

over a science fair.

Okay, okay!

I admit, my presence

tends to have
a questionable impact

on your lives,
but I've been reflecting

since our run-in with my foes,

and I want to turn over
a new leaf, my friends.

Friends? Friends don't make

other friends' lives mayhem.

That's exactly what you do
every time you pop up.

- Not every time.
- [both] Every time!

Ugh. Can we get away
from this wretched thing?

Wouldn't believe how exhausting

it's been listening
to you humans obsess

over things you don't have!

Not everyone can snap fingers

and magically get what they want.

Yeah. Some of us are stuck
on the outskirts

while everyone else is
a part of something really cool.

Is this about that
incredibly embarrassing moment

- you had at school?
- [Lunella exclaims]

- How do you--?
- Hello.

Amazing. All powerful.

All knowing. Remember?

Well then, you should know

it's none of your business.

Now beat it
before you make things worse

like you always do.

[♪]

Ha ha! Wow, 20 bucks!

- Thanks, universe!
- [car horn blares]

I'm movin' at top speed, people.

Have some respect.

Oh, heh, there you go, sir.

Thanks, young blood.

- Here, take this.
- Thanks!

My eyes are bigger than my arteries.

Lu, don't you think that's weird?

Earlier, you wished for $20

and now you found it,
and you wished

for extra cheese, and look!

[gasps] Podria said...

Wish-Tar is real?

Oh, no way!

Nacho cheese is wildly popular,

and statistically speaking,

the typical person
has about a 44.7% chance

to finding money
on the street every day.

- Besides, it's not like...
- [phone rings]

Lu! A whole crate of caviar
just fell off a truck

right in front of the rink!
I'm the caviar king!

- Take that, Jimmy!
- [phone beeps off]

Maybe this evidence
warrants further investigation.

[♪]

You wish it, you got it.
Neato, right?

Now, what is going on?

I'm giving this Wish-Tar the power

to actually grant wishes!

See, I can be your friend.

He seems... sincere?

Oh, I really truly am.

Well, tough tacos, Beyon-Tar.

Because I'm not buyin'
what you're sellin'.

Hey, Lu, someone
left these behind

the other day
and they're still unclaimed.

Weirdly, they happen
to be exactly your size.

Want 'em?

Oh, my galvanization!

I'm stiltin' in my Beast-O 3s!

Yeah, you are!

[sighs] Yeah, okay, fine.

I guess it doesn't hurt
having an all-powerful friend.

Oh, I can't wait to see the look

on everybody's faces.

Oh, yeah!

- What?
- [monkey shrieking]

Yo, what's with the hats?

Apparently, Bobby the Myth released

a new remix to this song.

♪ Rockin' like me
Rockin' like me ♪

♪ Stunnin' in my cap
All day ♪

Ugh! I finally get these shoes,

and they move on
to something else?

I tried using Moon Girl clout
to get us free swag,

but when I said
you weren't an Avenger,

it was a no-go.

Huh. We're all good because we got

our new secret weapon.

Miss me already?

I do really joined at the hip.

Yeah, Beyonder,
we need those new Lu hats.

You wish it, you got it, friend.

Bobby the Myth just added
an NYC stop to his tour!

He's coming to town!

Oh, snap! I'm going!

- Buyin' my tickets now.
- Oh, I'm so there.

- Awesome!
- Keeping up with the Joneses

is impossible and exhausting.

Who are these diabolical
Joneses anyway?

Who are they trying to keep up with?

- Nobody?
- Oh, that's it!

Hey, everybody!

I'm going to the Bobby
the Myth concert, too,

because he's playing at my rink!

- Whoa!
- No way!

- At your rink?
- Cool!

Yeah, and the only way
to beat the Joneses

is to become the Joneses.

[Casey]
But so what, you're just

gonna wish Bobby the Myth

to the rink and somehow get him

to move his concert here?

I wish for Bobby the Myth

to come to the rink
and somehow get him

to move his concert here.

Beyonder can do it,
right, friend?

You wish it,
you got it, friend.

this place?

- Got a phone?
- I got my phone!

- I got my pager.
- Here's my life savings!

- All right, this'll do, thanks.
- [all gasp]

My phone died and--
What? All the toilets

at Madison Square Garden
overflowed at once

and now it's unfit for a concert?

The gig's tomorrow.
What're we gonna do?

Hey! Well, how about
you have your concert here?

Hold on, one second, man.
At a rink?

It's got amazing acoustics.

Ooh, and the best DJ in the L.E.S.

And caviar nachos. [sniffs]

[gags, coughs]
Two-for-one special.

And roller rinks were the spot

for up-and-coming artists
back in the day.

Hmm. Retro.

Yo, I can make retro pop.

Oh, tomorrow night

is gonna be epic!

[Bobby exclaims]

That doggone Alicia Keys
had a concert yesterday

with the exact same piano model
I was gonna use.

- So...
- So?

So?

♪ So ♪

I can't show up
with the same piano as her,

looking like a dupe, a dog.

I need to top her.

If I can't find a newer, cooler piano,

the concert is off.

I cannot afford for him
to be a no-show, Case!

Oh, please give Bobby the Myth

the baddest piano in the world
so he can show up

and play the roof off this place.

You wish it, you got it, pal.

[people chattering]

- [child 1] Come on!
- [child 2] Yeah!

[child 3]
When's this gonna start?

We'll start any minute! Heh.

Come on, Bobby, please show up.

Lu, the talent's M.I.A.

- I think we gotta call it.
- No, Case.

I need this.

Lu, he's not coming...

[fans cheering]

[♪]

Yo, what up, fam?

Yes, Bobby! You made it!

Yeah, my manager found
the baddest piano

I've ever seen!

Alicia Keys, eat your heart out.

Tres, dos, uno.

Ah, yeah, what's up,
Lower Eastside?

Put your hands up!

You hear that? I am officially

- the Joneses.
- Yeah, you are!

Y'all ready?

Yo! Now, that's a piano!

Yeah, it's amazing.

[shudders]

Wait, something's wrong.

Yeah, I definitely don't
remember that light cue.

Ooh. You know, before,

I was okay playing this rink,

but now I have
the inexplicable desire

to destroy it!

Brace yourselves...

I'm about to play the roof
off this place.

Oh, no.

[♪]

[♪]

[fans cheering]

This is bad, Case, really bad.

Yo! This is amazing!

Oh, nice move.

But no one bumps Bobby the Myth
off the charts.

Case, we gotta get everybody out.

Copy that. We got
a code neon periwinkle.

- [Devil growls]
- Attention!

We're experiencing

some momentary
technical difficulties.

Please use the exits

and we will commence
as soon as possible.

- Where's Lunella?
- Well, um, I saw her

go outside, helping
with crowd control.

[gasps]

What a concert!

- You!
- What did I do?

You gave him a piano that
turned him into a villain.

What? You wished for the baddest
piano there ever was,

so I, as you would say,
juiced it up.

You're welcome, bestie.

I meant bad as in dope,

not bad as in evil!

- Oh, come on...
- [grunts]

...let's not let a thing
like semantics

get in the way of
our clearly budding friendship.

We are not friends.

I can't believe
I thought for a second

you'd be helpful.

You are the worst!

I should have wished you away.

You wish it, you got it,

former friend.

Oh, no! You get back here
and fix this!

Beyonder? Beyonder!

Beyonder? Ugh. I'm sorry!

[grunts] No!

Your wish is granted.

[bellowing]

[grunts] The vibrations
are compromising

even the non-rigid
amorphous structures.

Please tell me that's nerd for

-"everything's going to be okay."
- It means

that his voice is
strong enough to break

every piece of matter in here.

If we don't stop him soon,
this place will blow!

Oh! This is all my fault!

Why did I want
those stupid, stupid sneakers?

Don't beat yourself up, Lu.

I blame the Beyonder,

but this wasn't
even really his fault.

I shouldn't have ever got caught up
chasing these fads.

We both just wanted to fit in.

Even Bobby the Myth is trying
to keep up with the Joneses.

Everyone loses their grip sometimes.

Wait! Grip!

That's it! I need grip!

[Lunella gasps] Yes!

[powers up]

Time to get gecko.

[Devil groans]

[bellowing]

[powers up]

Hey, yo, Bobby!

Try to hit this note.

[exclaims]

Ugh. What happened?

The craziest thing.

Your fancy piano
totally malfunctioned.

What? Ah, man.

I--I guess I could throw
some paint on my old one

to make it look fresh.

The show must go on at this point.

Actually, you should get some rest.

We'll call off the concert.

Really? Are you sure?

Phew! Heh, good.

'Cause I feel like
I just screamed my head off.

Thanks.

All right,
time to face the music.

Or lack thereof.

[chattering]

[sighs]

Hey, I know I said
Bobby was performing here,

but he's not.

I tried so hard to keep up

with the things you all buy and do,

but I realized today it's okay

if I don't have what you have.

I like my teched-out shoes.

And I guess, for me,

it's better to be a nerd

than one of the herd.

[all gasping]

Yeah, son!

Hey, yo, I am sorry

I had to cancel the show,
but look,

y'all stay fly
and I look forward

to seeing you next time. Heh.

Oh, and check out

That went well.

- How do you feel?
- Really good.

But also kind of bad
about how I snapped

at the Beyonder.

I think I actually
hurt his feelings, Case.

Anyway, at least
I can finally get back

to some peace and quiet.
