[bunniefuu]

[ music ]

MOM: Have some cake, Annie.

ANNIE: But Mom, why is the cake holding a Kn*fe?

ANNIE: Is it some sort of...

k*ller Cake?!

CAKE: Yes I am!

[ Mom and Annie scream ]

- What are we watching?

[ all scream ]

- Aiiieee!

- Wait a sec, I know that aiieee!

- Ooh, sorry Schwoz.

- Don't worry about me, worry about my package!

- Why do you look like a hot mess?

- I was coming back from the post office

when I tripped and fell in the Swellview Swamp.

- Ah. So obvious, now.

- So...what did you get?

- It's a beautiful plant from my homeland!

- That's a rock.

- No, it's a plant.

- Pretty sure that's a rock, my guy.

- A geode, if I'm not mistaken.

- No. Trust me, it's a plant.

It just needs water.

Fourteen-thousand gallons, to be exact.

BOSE: Hey! Tiny Ray's still here!

- Ahhhhh!

[ high-pitched scream ]

[ music ]

- I got great news!

- Whoa! - Aw, dude!

- Shh shh shh news!

- Breaking News: kids hate the news.

- That's right, Trent. So in a shameless play

for younger viewers' attention,

our boss has hired a pair of child reporters.

- They're twins!

- Reporting from the Swellview Fashion Show,

please welcome Finn and Quinn!

- They're twins!

- Thank you, Trent. - And thank you, Mary!

- Those aren't twins -- WHY IS THE NEWS LYING TO US?!

- Whoa! Hey, hey!

- Not all twins look alike.

Some are fraternal. Some are identical.

- Yeah. Me and Mika are fraternal twins.

- What?! You guys are twins?!

When did that happen?!

- Quiet, the news is newsing!

- We are here with Swellview fashion icon, Nana Winter.

- So Nana -- this is the one-hundredth anniversary

of the Swellview Fashion Show.

What can we expect?

- Drama. Fashion. Attitude. Art.

Sassy-walking. Posing. Finger Foods.

Captain Man wearing an exclusive collection

designed by Chunk Manlee.

Danger Force wearing iconic looks designed by me.

[ Mika giggles and Miles gasps ]

- And hats.

FINN: I'm sorry did you say hats?

- I'll say no more!

- Well, now back to the old people in the studio!

- Hey! - Ouch.

- We get to be in the Swellview Fashion Show?!

- Ehh I don't know -- it's been so long since I last modeled.

- You used to be a model?

- Okayyyyyy, you got me.

When I was a baby, I was the face of Doodies Diapers.

- You were the Doodie Cutie?!

- Okay fiiiiine, I'll make the face.

- Well if you don't want to be in--

- Okay fiiiine, I'll be in the fashion show.

But no diapers!

- I'm out. I want nothing to do with

that crass display of materialism in our culture.

- Really? - Yeah, really.

The fashion industry is a tool

of rampant late-stage capitalism.

MIKA: He'll go. MILES: I'll go.

But I won't wear the clothes! - He'll wear the clothes.

And I'll be there to laugh when he does it.

- Great. Then you can all help deal with Ray

when he turns into a spoiled diva.

- Uh, when have I ever acted like a spoiled diva?

- Well there was the time

you were in the Swellview Fashion Show,

and they ran out of time before your turn.

So you caused.... the incident.

- The incident. The incident.

The incident. - What are you trying to do?

Stop trying to get me to flashback,

that's not going to wo-- Oh, I'll be darned.

ANNOUNCER: The nineteen-eighty-two Swellview Fashion Show

is officially out of time!

- I'M TOO HANDSOME NOT TO BE SEEN!

- We're out of time!

- I'M A MODEL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?!

- Get out!

- NO! I WILL DO MY LITTLE TURN ON THE CATWALK!

- YOU WILL DO NO SUCH TUR--

[ audience gasps ]

- Ow!

- I'm okay!

- Sounds like you were being a diva.

- I was not being a diva!

Somebody clean that up!

- Don't worry, I'll be there in disguise to help with Ray.

Now excuse me while I water my plant.

- It all just kinda happened.

[ kids all talking at once ]

- Stop talking!

♪ Danger

♪ Whoaaa-oooh

♪ Whoaaa-oooh

♪ Ooooh-ooooh

♪ Danger!

♪ One two three Force!

[ kids in unison ] - Emergency!

- That's just the doorbell. - I know.

[ music ]

- Higher.

Lower.

Closer.

Not that close! What?

Have you never held a light for a beautiful model before?

- Oh, actually I've-- - Oh, just go.

Get me some shrimp. Go, go, go, go, go, go--

Keep the light on me!

- Uhh I don't know how to do both at the same time.

- Uh, I need my designer. Chunk!

I need Chunk Manlee right away!

- There's my Captain! How are we?

- Pierre hates me.

- He wants me to go get him shrimp but he also wants me

to stay here and hold this light on him.

- I am so sorry about him. - Me?!

- That will be all Pierre!

- Pierre's mind games really worked on me, Chunk.

I don't think I can do this.

- Cappy... buddy...

What is my saying? Hmm?

[ in unison ] "Only Manly Men Wear Manlee Men's Clothes."

- And who's the manliest man?

- Me. - You can do this.

- I got the shrimp you asked for.

- Oh now you have shrimp?

- Yeah I just went-- - He-he hates me.

- I don't hate anyone-- - Just talk to my agent.

- Lefty Schwartz, Captain Man's agent.

We need to discuss Pierre.

[ music ]

- So what's it like wearing Nana Winter?

- Amazing.

- I look as good as Captain Man thinks he does.

- I refuse to participate in this grotesque display

of late-stage capitalism. No matter how good I'd look.

And you rest assure -- that I'd look good!

- Okay.

- I like turtles. - Okay?

- Fiiiiiiine, you got me.

I do have modeling experience...

SCHWOZ: Excuse me!

I'm Danger Force's agent! - Okay...

- Lefty Schwartz, Big Deal.

It says so on my card.

- What font is that, Papyrus?

I'm a font savant. I'll bet it's Papyrus.

- Is that that D.S. five-two-seven

silent drone camera with optional gimbal mount?

- The same. - Okay fine,

I'll do my model walk...

- No one asked for that.

- You ID'd my drone really quick for a modeling agent.

Nice work.

- Well, I happen to know a thing or two about drones,

and science, and time travel-- - Time travel?

- What? No!

No, no, no, no. Nothing!

I am but a humble modeling agent!

Brainstorm, help me?

- I like turtles.

- Hey did you guys know that AWOL and I

are twins just like you?

- Oh yeah! Like you guys, they are fra-turtle twins.

[ in unison ] - Fraternal.

- Correct. Not identical, but fraturtle.

- Fraternal. - Amen.

- You guys are fra-turtle, right?

- Actually, we're identical twins.

- Awww! I'm never gonna get this.

- No no, it makes sense why you'd think

that we're fraternal twins.

We actually were born identical, but then I transitioned

and I've been living as a boy for seven years.

'Cause that's who I am.

- So what I'm hearing is...

I was right about what fra-turtle means.

- Let's just go with yes.

- Nailed it.

- Hey, thanks for sharing that with us.

- Yeah, respect man. - That's awesome.

- WHERE IS MY FACE LIGHT, PIERRE?

- I am literally right behind you.

- Chunk! Pierre's playing mind games again!

- Behind the scenes footage.

We should go. - See you guys later!

- It was nice hanging with you. - Adios.

- Okay I hate the message that this is sending

but it would look so dope on me.

- Will you just put it on so I can laugh at you?

- I won't give you the satisfaction.

- Eventually you will though.

- Hey, I totally understood what Finn was saying

about transition... ning.

- Yeah, it was really nice of him to share that.

- I like turtles. - But maaaaaybe...

someone should explain it to Brainstorm.

- Okay, "Brainstorm" Finn is transgender--

- Wait, wait, wait, I got this.

- Do you though?

- Transgender is an umbrella term for people

whose gender identity doesn't match the body

they were born into.

- Okay, wow you do got this.

- Yeah, did not see that comin'. - Same.

CAPTAIN MAN: I'm not coming out of my dressing room

until you learn how to properly hold a ring light.

Where the Heidi Klum is my agent?!

- I have to stop taking on such difficult clients.

[ music ]

- and out on that runway Chunk Manlee's clothes

will be a vision of manliness becau--

- You know, Swellview moms often describe me

as a vision of manliness.

- We're done here.

- That was weird. Did you see the shirt

Chunk Manlee had Captain Man wear?

- It's two sizes too small

but I'm pretty sure that's Captain Man's thing.

- It wasn't the size.

Something's up with Chunk Manlee.

We gotta find Danger Force.

- AWOL! - What outfit?!

I didn't put this on myself!

Someone's going around covering people in high fashion clothes!

- Yeah. This is a fashion show.

- Can you take us to the rest of Danger Force?

- Why? So my sister can laugh at me?

- No, but I always support sisters laughing at brothers.

One time, Finn ate too many-- - Not now!

Something's up with Chunk Manlee!

- Well then I don't have time to change out of this! C'mon!

[ music ]

- You guys look good but you gotta have a sick runway walk.

Alright, let's see 'em. - Okay, I think I got it.

- I love my walk.

- Oh! Stop. - Stop?

- What did we do? - How do I put this

so fashion noobs would understand?

Walk. Better.

[ ShoutOut laughs ]

- What's so funny?

- Oh! Look who's wearing a lot

of "late-stage capitalistic fashions."

- Well I think that there's some maniac runnin' around

puttin' designer clothes on people.

- Yeah, it's a fashion show. - Thank you!

- Finn has something he gots to say!

- I don't think Chunk Manlee is a real fashion designer.

- Wow. That's harsh.

- Oh, no, no, no. His whole thing is that

he designs manly clothes for manly men.

But if he knows manly clothes so well

why would he put the buttons on the wrong side

of Captain Man's shirt? - I don't get it.

- On men's shirts the buttons go on the right side.

[ ShoutOut and Volt in unison ] - They DO?!

- Yes. And women's shirts they go on the left.

[ AWOL and Brainstorm in unison ] - They DO?!

- Trust me, I happen to have experience

with both types of shirts.

- Oh yeah! - Makes sense!

- So it just seems odd for Manlee,

who prides himself on making manly clothes for manly men,

to make that mistake.

- Wow I couldn't even make it past the indoor sunglasses.

- You guys thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

- I can almost guarantee I'm not.

- We need to figure out what Chunk Manlee's up to.

- Let's break into his dressing room.

- I think we need to distract him.

Can you guys interview Chunk Manlee and give us

some time to search through his dressing room?

- Yes! - First question:

What kind of name is "Chunk"? What?

- If you see Nana Winter,

tell her my brother loves her clothes!

- Leave me alone!

[ music ]

AWOL: It's locked.

SHOUTOUT: It's cool. I've got a key.

[ Super-screams ] Open!

- That worked. - I got dibs on the next door.

- Alright, now to respectfully r*fle through this dude's stuff.

Come on, guys!

- Armoire, I greet you as an equal.

And yet, I must destroy you.

- You don't have to destroy--

[ muffled voice ]

- Did that armoire just talk back to you?

- Well it's not gonna do it again.

[ muffled shouting ]

- Well that armoire eats people!

Everybody run! - No, no, no, no.

I think that's the real Chunk Manlee!

[ grunts in agreement ]

- Dude, we can't understand you.

- Pretty sure he's saying, "Take the gag off."

- Mmmm-yyyeeeaaahhh! - Then I'll kick it off.

- No! Mmmmmmm. - Gag, I greet you as an equal--

- No!

- I'm the real Chunk Manlee!

The one out there is an imposter!

[ everyone gasps ]

- Wait a sec, why is that other Manlee pretending to be you?

- Because he wants to get revenge on Nana Winter --

and he's gonna frame Captain Man for it.

- Double "Ohhh!"

REAL MANLEE: The shirt that Captain Man is wearing is weaponized.

The buttons are made of an illegal crystal prism

that concentrates a certain kind of light

into a dangerous laser beam.

SHOUTOUT: What kind of light?

REAL MANLEE: The kind of light that comes from a spotlight

shining at the end of a fashion show runway.

REAL MANLEE: If Captain Man makes it to the end of the runway,

that light's gonna hit those laser buttons,

and they're gonna melt Nana Winter's face off.

- That actually sounds pretty cool I kinda wanna see that.

But as a superhero I will try my best

to stop it from happening.

- We gotta stop Captain Man from walking that runway!

- Let's go!

- You're gonna untie me, right?

- Let's go!

- Right?

VOLT: Come on! Let's go.

S'go, s'go, s'go.

- Huh-yaaah.

[ music ]

- and that's why my parents named me Chunk.

- [ groans ] Ow!

Get, get, get.

When is someone gonna ask me a question?

- Okay, what is your hair care rou--

- Hold it right there, Manlee!

- What's going on?! - This guy is an imposter!

- I knew it! - You were right about the buttons.

- There's a spotlight at the end of the stage.

Once you get there your buttons are gonna

melt Nana Winter's face off!

- [ gasps ] Chunky. Are these melty-face-buttons?

- Of course not. No.

These no talent nobodies are trying to steal your spotlight!

- No we're not! And we have lots of talent.

- Okay finnnnne, I'll do my model walk.

- Not now. - This is your moment.

Take it. - Do not go out there.

- Look, I get it. I'd be jealous of me, too.

- We're not jealous!

- But I have waited twenty years for my funway on the runway,

and no one's gonna stop me now.

[ upbeat music ]

- Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way.

- Boeuf! Helmut! Fjord!

Why don't you boys help me take care of our little friends.

- Uh-oh!

- Errrr!

- Uhhhh!

- Oh come on!

- Ehhhh. Uhhh.

- AWOL! Go teleport to Nana Winter and get her outta here!

- No! - Ahhh!

- I've got an idea. Come on!

- Ah! Uh!

- I was told there would be hats.

Why isn't he wearing a hat?

Ahh there's the hat!

I've found the hat.

[ Nana laughs ]

- Miss Winter, you gotta get out of here!

- Why? - Because when Captain Man

gets to the end of this runway

his buttons are gonna melt your face off!

- [ sniffs ] You're a twin aren't you?

- Uh, yeah.

- I live my life by two principles:

It isn't a show if it doesn't have hats.

And never trust a twin.

- Ah!

Ahhhhhh.

[ shouting ]

- Ahhh!

- Your cue isn't until later!

- Listen! If you get to the end of that runway--

- AHHHHH!

- Ah ah ah! I'm trying to help you!

[ hisses ]

- You're freaking me out lady!

[ shouting and grunting ]

- Uhhh!

- Ah! Ah! Ah-huh-huh!

- I'm gonna do my little turn on the catwalk!

[ ShoutOut and Volt in unison ] - Nooooooo!

[ music ]

- The spotlight!

- I'm gonna miss that drone. - Look!

[ audience gasps ]

- Give it up, fake Manlee!

- Never! I will have my revenge!

- I told you that armoire eats people.

- Good... - [ super-screams ] ...night!

- Oh. You saved me!

I can finally trust a twin!

- Hey! This twin saved you too!

- Twins are officially in season!

[ audience applauds and cheers ]

- I'm in season!

- The only thing left is to find out who this guy is.

- Ah!

[ Nana Winter gasps ]

- So... who is this guy?

- That's former model Derrick Face!

[ everyone except AWOL gasps ]

- So... who's Derrick Face?

- A former model!

- NO! I WILL DO MY LITTLE TURN ON THE CATWALK!

- YOU WILL DO NO SUCH TUR--

[ audience gasps ]

[ muffled shouting ]

- I'm okay.

[ screams ]

- My face!!!

And because of Captain Man, I got this scar on my face --

and that's why she never hired me as a model again!

- Uh, no. I never hired you as a model again

because you stink at modeling.

- Oh wow really?

- You were garbage.

- I honestly thought it was because of this scar.

- Wait wait wait, so lemme get this straight...

You're a fake? I'm as stunned as I am stunning.

- Yeah! And Finn was the one who figured it out.

- Well, thank you young man.

- And I helped! - Yeah, yeah.

- You're welcome.

- Okay, I quit.

Honey, let's go.

[ upbeat music ]

[ music ]

- My plant! - For the last time, Schwoz,

it's not a plant, it's a--

[ Chapa, Mika and Bose in unison ] - Ohhhhhh.

- You all thought it was a rock, but you were wrong.

It was a plant the whole time!

- Uh, Miles!

- What? You heard the lady!

I can't help it if twins are in.

- See that? That's how you walk better.

- I am concerned but impressed.

- Hey! Wait wait wait.

- Now I'm just concerned.
