01x06 - Cherry Bad Things

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat musical intro]

So, what should we do this weekend?

Mini golf? Mini bowling? Mini tennis?

I love small sports.

Ooh! We can make first contact with aliens!

Just an option.

Or you guys could help me clean the living room!

Also just an option.

I'm thinking relaxation vibes.

I've been stressed out ever since

a jellyfish stung me in my sleep.

Aww. Sometimes I have creepy nightmares, too.

Oh, it wasn't a nightmare.

Just how it goes when your family

lives in a yurt on the beach.

Well, it is hard to relax around Cleany Thunderman.

I'm cleaning because Cherry is coming to visit this weekend.

Cherry's my bestie and she's the best person ever

and thus she deserves the best.

Including responsible coaster usage.

Thanks! I'll be sure not to use that.

Phoebe, your friend Cherry sounds great,

but she's not the best person ever.

That would be Nana Jinx!

Yeah, she has cats

and a sweet mustache!

I gotta admit, she sounds better than Cherry.

I should get going. [sighs]

I have to jellyfish-proof my yurt.

Again!

What stops jellyfish?

Their only natural enemy:

peanut butter.

You sound stressed, Booch.

Maybe you and Chloe could join me and Cherry for girls' night.

We're going to a high-tech spa.

I don't really do high-tech.

They have massage chairs.

The Booch is in!

Yeah, yeah, you should all go.

That way I can have my nice,

relaxing guys' night on the couch alone.

-[crunches] -Ow!

-Ugh! -Ah! There's my spiky brush.

See you tonight! Come on, Jinx.

Ooh, can we go to my Nana's?

She just adopted more cats.

Phoebe, since when has Cherry cared

about how fluffy our pillows are?

I just want to make things special.

Cherry was so excited when we gave her

sparkle power to help the T-Force,

then the Hero League made her get it removed

and I haven't seen her since.

Don't you video chat like all the time?

I haven't hugged her since.

Don't you guys hug on the phone?

Yes. The point is...

It might have been hard for Cherry to give up her powers,

so I just want to make this visit perfect.

-It's what you do for a bestie. -[knocking on door]

There she is now!

-Bestie! -Bestie!

Barfy.

[both squealing]

-[gasps] -It's so good to see you!

Chloe!

You look taller, baby!

I don't do that anymore.

Got it, baby!

Ooh. Maybe it's my thing now.

And, uh, Max.

-We doing hugs? -No!

Then I'll hug myself.

Bring it in, Cherry.

Wow, seems like she's handling the no-powers life

better than expected.

Sparkle selfie!

[sparkles popping]

'Cause she still has her power.

[upbeat musical transition]

[Chloe]I come from a family of superheroes.

But now, my brother and sister and I

are heading to a brand-new town.

[Phoebe] We're going undercover.

[Max]To try and solve

our most important mission yet.

♪A picture-perfect family is what we try to be ♪

♪Look closer, you might see the crazy things we do ♪

♪This isn't make-believe, it's our reality ♪

♪Just your average family ♪

♪Trying to be normal and stay out of trouble ♪

♪Livin' a double life ♪

[upbeat musical transition]

Don't worry, guys!

I'm sure Cherry has a very good explanation

for why she never got her powers removed.

Go on, Cherry. Give them your very good explanation.

Well, I searched for Hero League,

but then the phone map took me to League of Heroes,

an adorable sandwich shop.

There you go.

Classic sandwich shop switcheroo.

[laughs]

So, you're fine breaking the rules?

Who are you? Max?

I just didn't think

it was that big a deal to keep my sparkles.

They're harmless.

Guys, the rules are clear.

If you're not a trained supe,

it's not safe to have powers.

Ugh, who am I? Phoebe?

[Phoebe clicks tongue]

-Max is correct! -[yelps]

[zapping]

Exactly! Not safe!

[gasp] Sorry, you didn't tell me

you had a fancy ghost butler.

[in British accent] 'Ello, guv'nah!

If Booch sees Cherry use her powers at the spa,

it'll blow up our lives like that pillow!

Don't.

Hey, I trust Cherry. She's practically family.

And come on, it's not like she's parading her power around.

[vocalizing a cheery tune]

Okay, that is similar to a parade.

Thunderford, what's the best way to take someone's powers?

The Super Undooper Power Removal Wand.

Ordering now and using Phoebe's credit card

as Max instructed.

Thanks, Thunderford.

It will be delivered today,

accompanied by Max's nightlight for scared grown-ups.

Shh! That order was between us!

[upbeat musical transition]

[in French accent] Welcome to ze Bunny Bistro,

where guys' night is on the menu!

I'm not hungry.

But I am weirded out.

[in normal voice] What else is on the menu, you ask?

A six-course meal where each dish represents

an era of our friendship.

Villainous Duo,

Roomies, Besties, ,

Fearless, and Reputation.

This is all our eras.

The dress code is fancy casual, so be sure to wear a tux.

Better idea: Instead of a six-course meal and a tux,

how about a frozen pizza and no way?

We can do something else.

Like spray paint the moon.

Can't we just chill and play video games?

Sure, if you want to break my tiny bunny heart!

Yeah, I'm good with that.

[upbeat musical transition]

Presenting...

my Cherr-cuterie board!

Get it? It's a charcuterie board that looks like your face.

-It's the Cherr-cutiest! -[Phoebe laughs]

So, what else is new with you?

[sighs] Aside from secretly keeping my power,

mm, not much!

Oh. I got a pet bird,

but then found out it was just a fluffy tennis ball.

Ooh! And I learned how to do a cartwheel!

Yeah, you did!

Special delivery from the Postman!

They deliver super devices in the regular mail?

No, the Postman is a superhero.

He delivers packages super fast,

but his aim has been loopy lately.

[electrically charged whirring]

Thanks, Postman!

Okay.

So, this is the Super Undooper.

The device that's supposed to steal my powers.

It's more like you're giving back the power you borrowed.

Like a library book.

You're supposed to give those back?

One problem at a time.

Alright, let's get started.

So, it's so long, sparkle hands,

and back to old regular hands. [small laugh]

Hey, Cherry.

It kind of seems like you maybe sort of missed

your Hero League appointment on purpose?

Maybe 'cause I did.

What gave it away?

Oh, you know.

Your face and your words.

And your face.

I guess I just miss you

since you moved, and having powers like you

helped make me feel like we're still close.

Oh, come on. We're as close as ever,

even if we can't meet up at Splatburger to talk or hug

or check each other's teeth for salad.

-Salad-free, by the way. -Thanks.

And yeah, sure, it would have been fun

to enjoy your sparkle powers together

before you had to get rid of them,

but we missed that chance...

-'cause I'm so far away. -[sighs]

Unless...

Unless I wait till the end of this visit to take them back?

You could do that?

[Phoebe] Well...

Yeah! Sure! Why not?

It's only a few extra days, and no one will know.

Just as long as you don't use your sparkles in front of Booch.

-Deal! -Okay.

While we're alone,

can I show you a new trick?

I combine two sparkles to form...

a super sparkle.

[zapping]

[Phoebe gasps]

Yeah, let's not do that again.

[dramatic musical flourish]

[upbeat musical transition]

Come on, Cherry!

We're supposed to meet Chloe and Booch at the spa!

You do know they give us robes when we get there.

This is a robe?

I thought it was a long sweater.

Ugh! Will you two leave already so I can have my guys' night?

Your guys' night is just you?

Nope! He's also got me!

You're literally a rabbit.

And you were just leaving.

Get out!

Ugh!

Finally!

Now, Max, I heard you loud and clear

when you asked for a chill evening.

So I wrote us a guys' night song!

-Oh boy. -Ahem!

♪Guys' night

♪Oh, guys' night ♪

Yeah, that's as far as I got.

[knocking]

Oh, there's someone at the door.

Please don't finish that song.

[bright jingle]

What up, Vice Principal Chloe's Brother?

I'm here for our guys' night!

Our guys' night?

Your guys' night?

Yeah! Since the girls are hanging out,

I knew you'd be lonely.

I'm not lonely.

Well, I am, so let's get this party started!

[Max] Uh... [nervous chuckle]

No offense, but I didn't plan on spending

my guys' night with a nine-year-old.

I'm Chloe's age.

Is she not nine?

But hey, if you have some other plans,

I'm sure I can find someone else to use my...

VR headset.

[gasp]

The Helios ?

They're sold out everywhere! How did you get one?

I didn't.

-I got two! -[exaggerated gasp]

Welcome to guys' night, Jinx!

Come on, we need snacks!

I'm so glad you didn't have any other plans.

I was his other plans!

I wrote a song and everything!

[upbeat musical transition]

[tranquil music playing]

[computer voice]Welcome to your fully automated spa experience.

I'm already so relaxed I'm hearing voices.

[laughs] No, that's the spa's virtual assistant.

We can control it on... this tablet.

-[tablet beeps] -Activating mood lighting.

[bright musical flourish]

[all] Ooh!

-[tablet beeps] -Activating refreshment mode.

[cheery musical flourish]

[all] Aaah!

[tranquil music playing]

[sighs] I'd be taking so many pics right now

if we didn't leave our phones in our lockers.

Good thing I brought my eye cameras.

Click! Click!

Click! Click! Click!

-Ooh, I want to be in one! -Click!

Oops! That one was blurry.

Oh. Candle went out. On it.

[zapping]

Cherry! No using your power, remember?

Also, those are LED lights.

Sorry, I forgot the rules.

[sniffs]

And are you sure these are LED?

Because they smell like begonias.

Hey, Phoebe. A word.

Are you gonna yell at me?

Uh-huh.

Fine, but I don't want our friends eavesdropping,

so let me just...

[whooshing]

[Booch] Are the towels supposed to attack us?

Uh, they're not attacking.

It's called a hot towel hug.

It's the latest thing in Switzerland.

[Cherry] Ooh, I've heard of that.

The towels, not Switzerland.

Alright. Go ahead.

Why would you let Cherry keep her powers?

I just wanted to prove that we're still as close as ever

even though I moved, so I made a small exception for my bestie.

No big deal.

She almost blew up a candle.

Okay, yeah, sure. Maybe it's a medium deal.

You always do what Cherry wants.

It's like you have bestie blinders on.

[scoffs] Okay, yeah, fine.

I do put a lot of trust in Cherry,

but that's only because she's the finest lady in all the land!

I hope you're right.

Booch missed her power this time,

but she's very observant.

[Booch sighs] It's like this towel's hugging my soul.

[bright musical transition]

[sighs] Look at us,

two best bros making virtual sushi.

Best bros?

Yeah. We have so much in common.

We both have great hair.

Our names both end with an X.

Ooh! Our bro name should be Minx.

Pass.

What about Jax?

I'll allow it.

Yes!

This sushi-making game is so realistic.

I can almost smell the wasabi.

Yeah.

Me too.

I'll be right back.

Hurry up! I'm gonna eat

these spicy tuna rolls without you!

[coughs] Hot, hot, hot!

Hey, Max! Want some sushi?

It's all yours if you send that kid back to his Eda-Mommy!

No can do, Colosso.

Turns out Jinx and I actually have something in common.

We both like when I get to play video games. [chuckles]

What?! You're ditching me

for fake reality with your fake friend?

Exactly! I'm so glad you understand.

[Jinx] Hey, Max!

Whoa, you got the sushi for us?

Absolutely, buddy. Help yourself.

[gasp] Don't mind if I do!

-[gasp] -Uh, well...

Oh, okay.

[Colosso] That's it!

You took my sushi and my Maxy!

This means w*r!

[upbeat musical transition]

This is nice, but it's hard to relax

after seeing something so amazing.

You saw something? What'd you see? I can explain!

I meant the cucumber slices.

I finally know how vegetables see the world.

Oh. Samesies.

Which color should I ask

the airbrush machine to paint my nails?

Cherry Christmas or Cherry Important Person?

Well, you are my Cherry Important Person.

Aww! You're my Phoebe Important Person!

Hey, speaking of important things,

I just wanted to thank you for not letting Booch see

any of your... [whispers] ...you know.

No problem. I know I slipped up once,

but from now on, glitter nail polish

will be the only sparkles on these fangies.

-[gong resonating loudly] -[yelps]

[zaps]

[high-pitched] Sorry!

[whispers] Bestie blinders!

[sighs]

Okay. It looks like the control panel is fried.

That's fine. Worst case scenario,

we'll just have a low-tech spa night.

[computer voice] Activating privacy mode.

[door slams]

[dramatic musical flourish]

Oh. That's a much worse case.

[dramatic musical transition]

[upbeat musical transition]

I'm pressing the screen, but it's not responding!

I think the whole system is fried.

[grunts] And the door won't budge.

I am freaking out!

I need a massage.

[computer voice]Activating electric stimulation therapy.

[electricity zapping]

Ow!

What's going on?

Is something wrong?

Uh, no! Uh,

Phoebe and Cherry are just doing some relaxing goat screeching.

Ooh! Save some of that for...

[imitating goat] ...me-e-e-e!

[computer voice]Activating soothing room tremor.

Not now, room!

[rumbling]

[dramatic music playing]

I think I turned my massage chair up too high.

Phoebe, please tell me you can fix this.

Not that anything needs fixing.

Okay, first step.

-[blows air] -[crackling]

Turning my friend into an ice sculpture.

-Yeah, why not? -[Phoebe scoffs]

Now I can make a plan without Booch overhearing.

Update on the door!

The rocking is not making it easier to open!

Can you teleport us out of here?

Not without blowing our cover.

Unfreezing Booch in a new location would be weird,

even for her.

[computer voice] Switching to sauna mode.

[whirring]

Why aren't any of your modes nice?

[upbeat musical transition]

[laughs] Yeah, Max! That's what I'm talking about!

[mocking] "That's what I'm talking about!"

Team Jax is the new VR Ping Pong champion!

I've won every point, but sure, you're a champion too.

You break my heart, you get a dart!

Oops!

-[Colosso] Dang, missed him. -You alright, buddy?

Just clumsy, as you know.

Actually, I know nothing about you.

I was very clear about that.

That's why we're hanging out, so we can make...

magical memories.

Don't make it weird, kid.

Yeah, making things weird is my job!

-Ugh! -[Colosso] Darn it!

[sighs] I'm sorry, Max.

I won't miss again.

Neither will I.

Dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart,

dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart!

[Jinx grunts] Oh no!

I'm caught in a virtual ping pong net!

[grunts]

I got you right where I want you!

[dart whooshes]

[glass shatters]

-Hey! -Save yourself, Max!

I belong to the net now!

Seriously? You're attacking a kid?

Why am I surprised?

You ditched our guys' night for this twerp!

And I won't rest until I'm--

-Thrown up the slide? -No. Why would I ever say that?

[whooshing]

Hey-- Ack!

Whoooaaa!

[upbeat musical transition]

[blows air]

Ugh, it's so hot in here,

my freeze breath is lukewarm breath.

I don't think I can keep Booch frozen much longer.

Looks like I'm gonna have to teleport us out.

Booch is gonna find out my secret after all.

[gasp] Maybe not!

You won't have to tell her anything if her ears melt off.

It's possible I don't fully understand superpowers.

The reason I came on this mission

is to have friends who don't know I'm a superhero.

I know, Chloe. I'm so sorry.

Me too.

I never imagined keeping my power

would cause this much trouble!

Why couldn't I get a safer power like knife hands?

Wait, Cherry, that's it!

Your super sparkles cut through that charcuterie board earlier.

Maybe if you focus, they could cut through that door.

Are you sure they won't just cause a giant expl*si*n?

I am not.

But Booch will be thawed any second,

so I think we have to try.

-[zapping] -[dramatic music playing]

Dude, it's actually working!

Yay! Go, superpowers!

Focus on the door, babe.

[thrilling music playing]

[creaking, slams]

-I did it! We're free! -[triumphant musical flourish]

Good, 'cause so is Booch.

[sighs] Wow, I feel so relaxed.

I'm not even worried about why that door looks like that.

That, dear Booch, is the magic of the spa.

Activating laser therapy.

Okay, that's enough magic. Time to run.

[upbeat musical transition]

Hey, Colosso. Sorry I ruined guys' night for you.

Are you kidding?

It was the best!

I can't remember the last time

I was consumed by blind rage.

You tried to take out the gardener last week.

Only I get to fertilize that lawn!

[exhales] Hey.

How was guys' night?

Oh, you know, uneventful.

How about the spa?

Also uneventful.

[sniffs] Can't help but notice you smell like burning metal.

Can't help but notice darts everywhere.

Agree to drop it?

-Consider it dropped. -Cool.

I will never forget our girls' night,

but I guess it's time to give up my power.

Honestly, after that save, the Hero League

might let you keep those sparkles.

I don't want to keep them.

I realized that, powers or not,

nearby or not, we'll always be close.

Really?

Yeah!

Our friendship is all the sparkles I need.

[small chuckle]

Alrighty.

[Cherry huffs]

Let's do this.

[Super Undooper whirring]

[zapping]

Whoa!

It feels good to be normal again!

[chuckles] Good.

Best friends, no powers,

never going to a spa again selfie?

Yes, please.

[upbeat musical outro]

[camera clicks]

[upbeat rock music playing]
