01x12 - That Sleepover Life

[bunniefuu]

Best sleepover ever.

Every time I drink boba,

I swear, it's like

I'm swallowing a million tiny eyeballs.

How do you know

what eyeballs taste like?

I don't understand

how Brian and his friends

can sit there all day

playing those dumb role-playing games.

Yeah, and they're in the good booth.

"I'm a warlock. I'm a gnome."

Nobody cares.

Brian just sits there

with his sandy brown hair

getting caught in those

long, dumb eyelashes,

making it impossible

to see his kind eyes.

What? It's a sight hazard.

I don't understand

anything about that game.

But have you guys ever played Girl Boss?

We used to play all the time

when I slept over at Layla's.

No, what's Girl Boss?

It's a strategy game

where you become an influencer,

start a skin care line

and become an inspiration

to girls everywhere.

Also, it comes with a free lip gloss.

Well, now, I'm in.

So what do you play at sleepovers?

Oh, I've never been to a sleepover.

Wait. What? How is that possible?

They've just never really been my thing.

Well, we have to change that.

You are coming over

for your first-ever sleepover.

Tonight, and I'm not taking

no for an answer.

Okay, girl boss.

I'll catch up with you guys later.

Yeah. I'm gonna hang back, too.

Cool. Have fun.

What's the matter, Scary?

You seem to be staring off at that wall

that Brian's face is in front of.

Something's wrong with my stomach.

It feels like I'm being

tickled from the inside.

That sounds fun.

- Also, I feel like throwing up.

- That doesn't sound fun.

You must have

what Dio calls butterflies.

He says you get it

when you have a crush on someone.

Scary, can you please look at me

when I'm talking to you?

And stop looking at Brian.

Oh, it's Brian!

What? No. What No

A crush on that dummy

with the cute little laugh,

and boy band skin

and perfectly messed-up hair

that I just wanna mess up even more?

Oh, now the butterflies are worse.

Ooh, this looks nice.

Mom, Nyx has never been

to a sleepover before,

so I want everything to be perfect.

I get it. I had to pick you up early

from your first sleepover

Because I missed

my beloved mother so much.

Mm, because you had an accident.

You know, in your pants.

I know where it was. I was seven.

Whatever. Tonight is about Nyx.

I wanna make sure

nothing messes up our first sleepover.

- Ooh, snacks.

- Not for you.

Don't worry about us.

We're headed to the great outdoors.

Yeah. First time camping.

I've camped a lot.

Not really. I just wanted to be

part of the conversation.

Can I offer you mountain men

some of my lasagna

to fill those rugged bellies

before you leave?

Well, I am a pasta man.

Not a pasta-bility.

We packed enough dehydrated Schmeat

to keep us alive for days.

No more luxuries of home.

I hope it doesn't

make you guys homesick.

Can we leave the dad jokes at home, too?

Nope. They're coming with us.

We're also listening to my music.

Have fun!

I am so excited that you're here.

Me, too.

So, what do you usually do

at a sleepover?

Oh, whatever we want.

I just saw this new dance online.

Want to try it?

I'm more of "make snarky comments

while others dance" kind of girl.

But I'm down to clown.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Oh!

Oh, sorry.

No worries.

Let's try something else.

What do you want to do?

Uh Well, an anime show,

Bizarre Academia,

just dropped a new season today.

We could watch an episode.

I don't really know

anything about anime,

but I'm about to be animated.

Sorry, my dad's rubbing off on me.

You're gonna love this.

Look at her with that red spiky hair.

That's not hair. Those are knives.

How does she wear hats?

Great question.

Keep watching, then we'll find out.

Cool, cool, cool.

Why do they call it Bizarre Academia

and not Knife Hair Academia?

Is it bothering you

that I'm talking a lot?

No, not at all.

Why don't we just

watch this another time?

Totally.

How about we order some food?

Love It.

Favorite food on the count of three.

One, two, three.

- Burgers.

- Pizza.

Second favorite?

- Nachos.

- Seared branzino

with a summer vegetable medley.

Truth train. Are you having any fun?

What's truth train?

It's this thing I do

where if you say truth train

before a question,

you have to tell the truth,

no matter what.

Feels like a trap.

Why don't I go grab us some more snacks

and get this train back on track?

Sounds good.

And that's the truth.

I do not like this feeling.

I just wanna go back

to sitting alone in silence,

not thinking about whether I want

a summer or fall wedding

with a boy named Brian.

Definitely fall.

Now, stop badgering me already.

I'll help you with Brian.

What? Gross?

No, gross. No, gross.

Maybe.

You came to the right person.

I'll have you two chatting in no time.

Can't I just stare at him

from across the room?

Scary, if there's

one thing I know about crushes,

it's absolutely nothing.

But everybody likes boba.

Give this to him.

So you want me to buy his affection?

That's actually a great idea.

Hi. Here.

Bobo. Bobi.

I mean, boba Just drink it.

Nice.

Thank you, Scary.

Also, not that I've been paying

attention to you at all today,

but you should roll

the sense motive to the green elf

and free the cave master.

Oh, also, don't forget

to shimmy your elder elf.

Okay, bye.

So how'd it go?

I brought him the boba, set it down,

and then noises

came out of the thing under my nose.

And then what happened?

I wasn't going to

stick around to find out.

So, how's it going with Nyx?

Great

Yeah?

Looks like you're having the best time.

I don't know what's wrong.

We usually get along so well,

but tonight we can't seem

to agree on anything,

and it's awkward and forced.

And apparently,

I talk a lot during shows.

Watching television with you

is kind of rough.

Look, it just sounds like you two

haven't found your rhythm yet.

But you will.

Just relax and give it some time.

Everything will work itself out.

I hope so, 'cause right now

this sleepover is a total disaster.

Uh, I should probably head home.

Nyx, no.

Wait. I didn't mean it like that.

No, it's fine, and you're not wrong.

Tonight's definitely

not going that well,

but it's not your fault.

- It's mine.

- What?

- No, it's not.

- It's okay.

This just isn't my thing.

It's just been me

and my mom my whole life.

So sometimes I get a little overwhelmed.

I totally get it. I mean

I called my mom to pick me up

from my first sleepover because

I just did. End of story.

She peed her pants!

Mom!

Hey, I think we can still

turn this sleepover around.

Starting now.

Garbage TV?

Yes. You can even talk through it.

Well, that was a bust.

Who knew you had to

reserve a camping spot?

It's a patch of dirt.

This camping trip is officially over.

So, what are we watching?

I know where my eyes will be glued.

Maybe we should

just try this a different night?

I'm open any night but Wednesday.

Piccolo practice.

No, this is happening.

You girls are doing this tonight.

You're right.

We don't need the woods.

We've got the backyard.

Camping trip is still on. Who's with me?

Yeah.

And we're gonna

make this as authentic as possible.

No cell phones, no Wi-Fi,

no air conditioning, no heat,

and absolutely

no popping into the house.

We're men.

We know how to rough it.

To the backyard.

I just need to head to the bathroom.

- See you out there.

- Oh, no, son.

Here's a shovel.

This is your bathroom now.

I'm starting to rethink

this whole camping thing.

Me, too. Some of us need privacy.

- All right, Sleepover still on?

- Still on.

We just need to shake things up a bit.

We can stay up all night.

I love it.

It'll be a no-sleep sleepover.

We should trademark that.

No matter what happens,

no matter how tired we get,

we won't go to sleep no matter what.

We've got to be close to sunrise, right?

What time is it?

- 7:30.

- P.M.?

So we just need to keep ourselves busy

for another 11 hours.

No problem.

Pulling an all-nighter?

Well, I know a little something

that can help keep you girls awake.

Ever heard the story of Gory Laurie?

Gory who now?

Embellish, please.

Ah. So, the legend goes,

there was a girl named Laurie

who threw herself a birthday party

and invited everyone in town.

They all said they were coming.

But no one showed up.

And after that night, one by one,

all the kids began to disappear,

and the last thing they would hear

was the thunk, thunk,

thunk on their door

before she came calling for them.

They say,

if you turn down the lights

and look in the mirror

and say Gory Laurie three times,

she will appear.

And you'll know she's coming for you

by the thunk, thunk, thunk.

That can't be real.

That's what my friend Sarah thought.

Until she tried it.

And we never saw her again.

They said she moved to Texas,

but we all knew the truth.

Gory Laurie came knocking for her.

You girls have fun now.

Your mom officially tells

the worst bedtime stories.

Oh, no, he's leaving.

- He's leaving.

- Then go talk to him.

Oh, no. He's coming!

D Don't move!

Dude, thanks for the boba

and the k*ller gameplay suggestions.

I won because of you.

It's like the universe

was aligning our game chakras.

I mean, everybody knows

if you don't shimmy your elder elf

your chakras turn into latkes.

So, do you play Elf Dragon Hunt a lot?

- I mean

- Oh, Scary's never played before.

She's just been staring at you all day,

like, all day.

Ow!

Why are you kicking me?

Sorry, leg twitch.

So, what's your favorite boba flavor?

I'm a matcha guy myself.

Uh, you know, it's green,

like Mother Nature.

Scary always says

there's matcha more

where that came from.

Mr. Ripp would have loved that one.

I think Pretty was just leaving.

I was?

Oh, yes, I was.

I have somewhere very real

and definitely not made up to be.

Bye.

So what else do you have

going on this weekend?

Mm, just some goat yoga tomorrow.

Uh, and then I'll have another game

scheduled for Sunday, if you wanna join.

Do you have plans?

Scary never has plans.

She can stare at you all weekend.

Sit down.

So I can kick you.

This stinks.

Can we just go inside,

have some of Mom's lasagna

and play video games?

- Yes.

- No.

We said we're going camping,

so we're camping.

No offense, but offense, Mr. Ripp.

This camping trip is lame.

There aren't even real woods

or wild animals or anything.

Actually, I heard there was a bear loose

in the neighborhood.

- What?

- No way.

Oh, yeah, it was on the news.

They say the bear was

going through garbage bins

looking for food.

It even found a way

to open the neighbor's door

and get into their kitchen.

Rumor has it,

the last thing the neighbor heard

was a low growl.

Thank goodness

we're out here and not in the house.

Wait!

Where's the shovel, Carson?

I think I need to use it.

- What was that?

- What was what?

Maybe I should go check things out

just to be sure.

You boys stay here and hold down camp.

He's probably just messing with us.

This night is a bust.

Did you hear that?

No.

But I heard that.

- Hug for safety?

- Hug for safety.

There. Perfect.

Oh, wow!

Too much?

Never.

Ooh, this is fun.

You mean to tell me Nyx Peppers

is a sparkly hat type of girl?

What? It has a retro vibe.

Truth train,

I'm not always all about darkness.

I have layers.

Truth train, call me surprised.

Truth train, I wasn't having fun before,

- but now I am.

- Truth train, me, too.

Double truth train, I like Erlic.

Triple truth train, duh.

It's all over your face

and eyes and your face.

What was that?

Ooh, maybe it's Gory Laurie.

You think so?

Nah, because we haven't

summoned her yet.

Let's do it.

Gory Laurie, Gory Laurie, Gory Laurie!

- Did you see her?

- Nope.

I'm gonna go grab some water

from downstairs.

If Laurie shows, tell her I said,

"What's up, girl?"

Should I

No!

Should I No.

Gory Laurie, Gory Laurie, Gory Laurie!

Boo!

That was fun!

I bet you thought I was Gory Laurie.

You know about her?

I thought it was just an urban legend.

Well, dear, there's a shred of truth

to all urban legends.

Hmm, some people think

I am an urban legend.

Are you here to give me a task

or freak me out?

I was giving you the evening off

for your little sleepover.

But I heard you

talking about Gory Laurie,

and I thought I'd have

a spot of fun with you.

Wait. As long as you're here,

when Nyx comes back

can you pop up and scare

the Nyx out of her?

I am the Grim Reaper,

not some cheap party trick.

Boo!

We have fun here, don't we?

But remember,

I did the mirror thing first.

Not Laurie.

Toodles.

Bear on the loose?

- Gory Laurie?

- Yeah!

Not tonight, Laurie. Not tonight.

She's real! Gory Laurie is real.

- I heard her.

- I know.

Why did we have to tempt fate

and say her name three times?

Now she's in the kitchen.

Where the knives are.

We are about to die.

Oh, no, I've already

done that once this year,

and I am not about to do it again.

She's coming for us.

Not if we get her first.

I don't think she's here to play tennis.

Too bad. Gory Laurie is about

to meet my backhand.

That's the power of eye shadow.

Do you think the bear got in?

Do you think he already ate my dad?

I'm too young and handsome

to be bear food.

Oh, I told you she was real.

Please tell me that was your stomach.

- Oh, my God!

- Tell my mom I love her!

Yum, is this cheese?

- Mom?

- Dad?

You should have seen your faces.

Wait a minute. You guys were

pranking us this whole time?

Oh, we're good. We're good.

It was so easy.

Sorry, the door was stuck.

I can't believe

you scared us like that, Dad.

Respect.

You said you wanted

to see animals and excitement.

So that's what I gave you.

I'm just gonna say it, Mr. Ripp,

that's bad parenting.

Nice setup.

I've always wanted to go camping.

Mind if I join?

Welcome to the great outdoors.

You're gonna need this.

Are we digging for treasure?

More like burying it.

Hey, who wants to tell

campfire ghost stories?

I think we've had

enough scares with all the bear stuff.

Wait, I missed a bear?

Yeah, you missed a bear

who torments his kids for fun.

And his kid's friend,

who's probably not gonna

come around here as much anymore.

Why were you

at the boba shop for so long?

No reason. I drank boba,

I saw Brian, then I came home.

We're missing a lot of details.

I think I kind of,

sort of, maybe, like Brian.

You totally like him.

Tell us everything.

And leave out nothing.

He was playing Elf Dragon Hunt,

so I brought him a boba.

Aw!

Brought him a boba?

You're basically married!

Then he came over to my table

and asked me to game with him on Sunday.

So I guess I'll game with him on Sunday.

No bigs.

I have a crush on Erlic.

Well, duh.

You know,

maybe I'll talk to him more next week.

No bigs for me, either.

- Who have I become?

- Right there with you.

What are you screaming about?

Girls are weird.

Let's get revenge

on Gory Laurie and the bear?

Let's take 'em down.

This sleepover is wild.

Oh, that was so much fun.

We should prank them more often.

I know!

I can't believe they fell for it.

Parents, one. Kids, zero.

Hey, Gory Laurie and the bear!

It's payback time!

Oh!

Ow! No!

Best camping trip ever!

It's on!

Sun's about to rise.

We're gonna make it to the end

of our no-sleep sleepover.

Yes!

We did it.

Best sleepover ever.
