Oh! Ah! Ow!

Maybe I do trip a lot.

I guess I should probably
fix that step.

Oh. This oughta do it.

-Why do you have a crowbar?

-My dad took away
my sledgehammer.

[creaking]

Okay. Oh, whoa!

There's something
under the step.

-Is it Fisher?

-No. I'm not sure what it is,

but it's pushing up
on the board.

That must be why
I kept tripping over the step.

Whoa! Look at this.

-Great, you found a dirty bag.

Now let's fix the step
so nobody else trips on it.

-That feels like
a tomorrow thing.

Let's see what this is first.

Ah! Ow! [grunts]

fix the stair first.

-I'm so sorry you tripped.

-What do you love, Lex?

-She loves this stuffed dog

I won in the claw machine
at the Mooery.

-Yeah, they also have one

that looks exactly
like my dog, Reggie.

That's the one I really want.

-Lex, I will win you that dog,

and then your heart.

-Let's find out

what's in the bag
from under the stairs.

-Come on, pirate treasure.

[gasps]
A My Big Unicorn Zebra thermos?

I loved that show
when I was little.

-We did, too.
-Is there anything inside?

-Let me see.

A piece of paper.

-Oh, my gosh, Presley,

it's the map we made
when we were five.

Do you remember?
-Whoa.

I completely forgot
about this.

-Well, we hid the map
in the thermos,

and the map takes you to
the My Big Unicorn Zebra

lunch box we hid.

We were in a big hiding phase.

-So what'd you guys hide
in the lunch box?

Pirate treasure?

-No. Better.

-Viking treasure?

-No. Friendship bracelets.

We made them for each other
and promised we would

dig them up when we were older.

-Aw, that's so sweet
and totally worth

falling down the stairs for.

Well, now that my vision
isn't blurry,

I'm gonna head down
to the Mooery.

-Bye.
-Good luck.

[door closes]

-Why are you making that face?

-That--that's
my disappointed face

because we don't know
where the lunch box is.

-Oh, it's okay.
That's why we have the map.

It'll lead us
right to the lunch box,

which will lead us right
to the friendship bracelets.

Oh, my gosh.

We're going on a treasure hunt!

-So fun. But...

are you gonna go
dressed like that?

You need to put on
a treasure hunting outfit.

-You're right.
I will go home,

change,
and be right back.

And to think, we were gonna
do homework today.

My Manny Pack!
The fanny pack for men!

I've been looking for this.

What was it doing up there?

-Confession time.

This is the cupboard
where I put things

I want to disappear.

-Why would you want
my Manny Pack to disappear?

-Same reason I wanted this
to disappear.

-Ah! [laughs]

Ohh, I've missed you,
my beautiful abs.

What are you looking for
in there?

-When we were five,
Lex and I

made friendship bracelets
for each other

and agreed to put them
in a lunch box,

but I never did.

-[gasps] You broke
a friendship bracelet pact?

You were raised
better than that.

-I know, but I wanted
to take it with me because

that was the week we went
to family arts and crafts camp.

-Oh, yeah!

Your mother and I dominated
that pasta art seminar.

That's where
I earned the nickname

the Macaroni Mac Daddy.

-Yes. I found it.

-Why would you wanna
forget a mug

that says
World's Best Dad on it?

If I'd known I was the best,

I would've lived
so differently.

-I wasn't hiding the mug.

At camp, my friendship bracelet
accidentally fell into the clay

as I was making it,
and look.

It got baked in.

And now, Lex is gonna find out.

-Hmm, not only that,

she's gonna be crushed
when she discovers

this bracelet's
not in that lunch box.

[laughs] I wouldn't wanna
be you right now.

-So what do I do?

-Hey, guys, check out
my treasure hunting outfit.

And also, check out this.

Isn't it amazing?

-It will haunt me
for the rest of my days.

What is it?
-The memory arm.

It's where Lex keeps
all the friendship bracelets

we've had since
we were kids.

-And look,
there's one spot left

for the bracelets
we hid in the lunch box.

-Of course!
That'd be perfect!

Those are your first
friendship bracelets.

This arm would be
incomplete without them.

-Really great point, Dad.
Thank you.

-Hey, where's your
treasure hunting outfit?

-Um, it's, uh--right here!

-That's the outfit?

-The ultimate treasure
is fitness.

-All right, that's weird,

but I am too excited to care.

-Me too. We should
go to the basement

and start decoding the map
right away.

But...

Oh, no.

My dad is making me
throw out all this awful stuff.

So you go,
and I'll be down in a jiff.

Or is it GIF?
I don't know. Just go!

-Okay,
just don't take too long.

We've got treasure to find.

-You gotta stop throwing away
all my cool stuff!

-If Lex finds that lunch box,

she'll find out I never put
the friendship bracelet inside

and it'll break her heart.

-I think I know
what you're asking,

and, yes, I will use
my crafting skills

to make an identical
friendship bracelet.

Meanwhile,
you find that lunchbox

slip the fake bracelet in,
and Lex will think

it's been there the whole time.

-Dad, that is such...

a good idea!
Go do that!

Why are you drawing pictures
on my claw machine?

-Look at all of these memories
in bracelet form.

Remember this all black one?

-From my goth phase.

I'm so glad I got that
out of the way in third grade.

from the time we hugged so hard

we gave each other
a concussion.

-Our first and only
running jump hug.

-Ooh, our candy
friendship bracelet.

Wonder if it still tastes good.
-Hm.

No! No, it does not!

-Our Unicorn Zebra bracelets

are going to look great
on this thing.

-So great.
Great, great, great!

-We just gotta figure out
what this map says.

Oh, no, we wrote it
in Zebraglyphics.

-The language from
My Big Unicorn Zebra?

We haven't been able to
read that since we were five.

This is great.
I mean, this is terrible!

We're never gonna be able
to figure that out.

-Come on.
It'll come back to us.

Is this a drawing of a unicorn
or a candy corn?

I'm not sure,
but I like 'em both.

-All this figuring out stuff
is exhausting.

We should hit the Mooery
and take a shake break!

-Presley, you are brilliant.

Spenders is at the Mooery.
He is the biggest

My Big Unicorn Zebra fan
ever.

He can tell us
what this map says.

-Yes! That's exactly why
I said the thing I said.

Oh, it's my dad.
He needs me.

-For what?

-He's stuck in a suitcase.

-What?
-You go to the Mooery

without me.
-Are you sure?

-Yes. This is
a daughter's duty.

Now get outta here,
you crazy best friend of mine.

Hey, Dad, I got your text.

Why are you in Fisher's room?

-He has the best tools!

Look at all this stuff!

-Is the bracelet done?

-No. We've got a problem.

So you know how the centerpiece
of the bracelet

is the official Zebra Unicorn
bead?

-Obviously.
-Obviously.

-Well, they don't make it
anymore,

so I can't make
an exact copy of the original.

-You gotta get that bead!

-Maybe she won't notice.

-She has every
friendship bracelet

we've ever made
on a creepy arm.

She's gonna notice.

-Okay.

I know how important
this is to you.

I'll make it happen.

-Thanks, Dad. I'm gonna go
look for that lunch box.

-I thought you didn't know
where it was.

-I don't.
I'm just gonna start

digging in the walls
and hope I get lucky.

in order to b*at the claw,
you must forget about science

and be the claw.

find the lucky quarter,
and you will find your destiny.

looking for that lunch box.

Did I hear your dad fall?

-No. He was, uh, breakdancing.

Getting pretty good,
wearing his hat sideways.

Anyways,
what's shakin', bacon?

-You're acting weird.
-Because I am so excited

to hear what Spenders told you.

Let me guess,
he couldn't translate the map,

so now we have to
put our treasure hunt on hold.

So sad.

-Nope. He translated it
and said that the lunchbox

is in an air vent
in your basement.

Come on, let's go
get our treasure.

-An air vent?

Awesome!

But, first...

uhh--bees!

Oh! Bees!

They're everywhere!

-I don't see anything.

-Because they're tiny
and are moving so fast!

-Why did you do that?

What is going on?

-Remember ten years ago,
when my family spent a week

at arts and crafts camp?

Well, I knew I was
going to miss you,

so I lied about putting
the friendship bracelet

in the lunch box,
and I wore it to camp.

-Hey, that is a violation
of our lunchbox agreement.

-I accidentally baked
your bracelet into a mug.

I had my dad make
a replacement bracelet

that was supposed to be
identical.

-Wow, so you distracted me
all day

with what I'm now realizing
were really bad lies

while you had
a fake bracelet made

just so my feelings
wouldn't be hurt?

-Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Feel free to hit me
with the arm.

Are you patting me
on the head?

-Yes. Because you've had
a very hard day.

These bracelets
aren't what's important to me.

It's the memories.

And that bracelet,
built on your lies,

is now a new special memory.

So it's going on the arm.

-Lex! Lex, I did it!

Get ready to love me.

-You won little Reggie?

-Not exactly. He got so upset
he couldn't win,

he grabbed a chair,
threw it through the machine,

grabbed the dog, and ran.

-Wasn't Spenders upset
you smashed his claw machine?

-Nope. Fisher dropped $
in quarters on the machine,

which more than paid
for the damage.

-For you.

It got caught
on the broken glass

when I snatched it
out of the machine.

-Thank you, Fisher.
I know exactly

what I'm going to do with it.

Our friendship is like
the two pieces of this dog.

When we're separated,
it's sad

and a little bit disturbing.

But when we're together,

It's happy and whole,
just like this doggie.

Woof, woof.

Woof, woof, woof, woof.

Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof--
-Okay.

Let's put it in the lunch box

and find it again
in ten years.

-Great idea, because we'll

cleaned up all the beads!

Could someone please
get me a lemonade?
