[clatter]

- Max, that's for later.

- Says who?

- Me. Now let it go.

- [grunting]
Suit yourself.

[laughs]

- Wall cake!

- That's it.

For once, could we enjoy
a nice, relaxing dinner

without you kids
using your superpowers?

- No problem.
- I'm sorry.

- Whatever.
- Sure, Dad.

- Great.

[sighs] Now...

where is my Peruvian
hot sauce?

- You're gonna fly to Peru
to get hot sauce, aren't you?

- Thunder man!
Away!

[Crash]

- That is never not funny.

- Okay.
See you then, Cherry.

I know, I can't wait, either.

Bye.

[phone beeps off]
ooh!

I'm having a girls' night
with Cherry.

- I don't get it.

You and Max have more powers
than all of us,

and you're excited about
seeing a friend?

- You don't get it
because your only friends

are the bacteria
in your armpits.

- Yeah, and they want to be
friends with you too.

- Eww!

- Come on, guys.
Be nice.

You should love
your siblings.

Except him.
He's evil.

- Come on, sis,
you're my twin.

Where's the love?

- Uh, the love died
when you beheaded my dolls

when we were five.

- Oh, yeah.

Totally worth it.

- [scoffs]

now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm off to go do
supervillain stuff in my Lair.

- It's not a Lair
if it has a nightlight.

- Supervillain?

More like a super-cutie!

Mwah!

- Where you going?

- I am taking your mom
out to dinner.

- So Max and Phoebe
are babysitting you.

They're really
looking forward to it.

- don't touch your armpits.
Don't laser your brother.

Don't take over the world.
Don't have more children.

Good night, everybody!

[zap]

Wow, mom.

You still got it.

- Where are you going?

I need you and Max
to babysit tonight.

Both: What?

- Mom, I was going
to Cherry's tonight.

- Yeah, and I was gonna
not babysit.

- Well, now you're not
not babysitting.

Wait...

Yeah, that's right.

- Well, uh, can't a neighbor

watch Billy and Nora?
- Yeah.

- and risk the kids
exposing their powers

to a non-Superhero?

- They won't,
they're really responsible now.

- Dance! Dance, I say!

- Ow! Cut it out!
- Ha ha ha!

[laser zapping]

- Please, mom,
Cherry is the only friend

I've managed to make
since we moved here.

- That's one more
than I thought she'd make.

- I'm sorry, honey,
but your father and I

gave up crime fighting
so you kids

could have
a normal childhood.

- That's right,
which is too bad,

'cause I still got it!

- Yeah, and a little extra.

- This is the worst.

You know,
sometimes I wish

we didn't even have
superpowers.

- I'm sorry, Phoebe.

Come on, Hank.

- to the thunder-Mobile!

- Minivan.
- to the thunder-minivan!

- No, it's just a mini--
[scoffs] whatever.

[door shuts]

- Agh!
How can I become

the world's greatest
supervillain

if I have to babysit
Zippy and Lasergirl?

Wait a minute...

You guys
are way too cool

for babysitting.

How'd you like to assist me
on my latest project?

- Sure.
- Guess so.

- All right.

Phoebe!

You deserve a girl's night.

So why don't I babysit
Billy and Nora

while you invite
your friend over here?

- are you nuts?

What about Dad's
number one rule?

- Everything goes better
with Gravy?

- No non-Supes in the house.

I'm calling Cherry
to cancel.

- You're right.

Of course, she'll probably
find a new best friend.

And you can make loneliness
your new best friend.

- Wait!

You guys promise
that if Cherry comes,

you won't use your powers?

- Of course not.
- Of course we won't.

[zap]
- Ow!

- She's not here yet.

[laughter]

- Okay...I'll do it.

- Great, let's text her.

Hey!
- "'sup, girl?

Pheebs here."

- You're texting as me?

- "Totes obvi
we should hang at my crib."

See you at :.
As if."

Smiley face
with a party hat.

- Darn it.

That is exactly
what I would have written.

- All right, guys,
to the Max Lair!

Whoo!

- Billy in the hole!

- Glad we got rid
of the boy germs,

am I right, pheebs?

Yeah, I'll just go.

- Whee!

Hey, where's Nora?

- Aah!
- Aah!

[Thud]
- Ooh!

Okay, I'll be right back.

Don't touch anything.

Both: Right.

- Let's touch stuff.
- Yeah!

- "Press here
to destroy pluto"?

Mm.

[boom]

Must be broken.

- "Dr. Colosso"?

- Gah!

- Aah!
- Aah!

- Aah!
- Aah!

- Close it.
- Yep.

- I shouldn't be here, Nora.

The junior supertroops motto
is "Do no evil."

- Okay, who wants to help me
carve my initials in the moon?

- Ooh! I do!
Me! Pick me!

Me, me.

[laser buzzing]

- Good job, Billy.

Keep it nice and steady,
Nora.

This is awesome.

- You're the Best babysitter
ever!

- Interesting decor.

Sort of a baseball/viking
junkyard theme.

- Come on, Hank,
this is fun.

Now that we moved
to hiddenville,

we can go out
like a normal couple.

- Yeah, you're right.

Maybe I won't miss
being you-know-who.

Savin' lives, my cape
billowing in the wind and...

Oh, look.
The menu's sticky.

- Honey, bad news.

The thunder man We hired
for the party can't make it.

His car broke down.

- Barb, did you hear that?

The guy playing thunder man's
a no-Show

for that kid's birthday.

- Aww.

Ooh, jalapeno poppers.

- No, don't you see?
I'm thunder man.

I can save that precious
little girl's party.

- That's a boy.
- Yeah, whatever.

- Hey, we're
in hiddenville now.

You can't go around exposing
your secret identity.

- I won't be--They'll think
I'm a party entertainer

Who got his car
working again.

- Hank, you're not even
dressed for it.

It's not as if you happen
to have your supersuit...

under your clothes.

- Did I hear
it's someone's birthday?

[all cheer]

- Thunder man!
- Thunder man!

[overlapping chatter
and cheers]

[electronic droning]

- Alert, alert.

Non-Supe approaching.

[doorbell rings]

- [sighs]

Sorry, mom and dad,
but I need a life.

- Hi!
- Hi, pheebs!

Double selfie.

[camera clicks]

Oh, my gosh,
this place is bonkers.

How have I never
been here before?

- I don't know.

I mean, it's not like
I'm hiding anything.

- Well, of course not.
We're best friends.

- We are?

- Duh.
Speaking of which,

who is ready for the most
Cray-Mazing girls' night ever?

- talk to me.

- First, we update
our double selfies.

[camera clicks]

then, we rock to the new

dance your thang off--
Video game.


Rated "F," for "Funky."

[whooping]

[both laugh]

and it all starts...

now.

- Why'd you do that?

- do what?

- This.

- I didn't do this.

- Yeah. You did this.

- I think I'd remember
if I did this.

- Phoebe--

- Hey, who wants
to make brownies?

I know I do.

- What?

- What are we doing next,
Max?

- Leaving me alone.

[sighs]

fine.

Play with something
in here.

- Check it out.

"Nose Hairalyzer."

- Is that nose hair?

Both: Awesome!

- Can I see it?

[zapping]

Today, I am a man.

- All right, lady,
spill it.

Who do you have
a crush on?

- I don't know, there's
no one really special.

- Cole Campbell?
- Sweet cheese, yes!

- You should totally
call him.

- You know I'm too shy
for that.

- Which is why
I'm the perfect best friend.

- Cherry...
what are you doing?

Don't you look up his number.

Don't you call it.
Don't you let it ring.

Don't you hand
that phone to--

Hey, Cole.

It's Phoebe...thunderman.

From home room?

I was just calling to--

- See if you want
to hang out sometime.

- I can't believe you.

You would?

Yeah.
Next week's great.

Okay, Bye.

He is so cute!

- Yeah, you might
want to hang that up.

[phone beeps off]

[both squealing
and Laughing]

- Give it back!
- No!

- Billy!
- What's going on here?

- I saw it first!

- You want it?
Here!

- Ha! Missed me.

- You guys,
stop it right now.

- Billy, cut it out!

- That's it!

- Whoa.

- Oh...my...

wow.

- So...This is fun.

- Your siblings are floating
in midair!

- No, they're not.

[both shout]

- You have superpowers.

- [gasps]

you have superpowers and--

and you didn't tell me?

- Cherry, there is a very
simple explanation

for all this.

And that explanation is...

uh...

[wind whipping]

[ice cracking]

- Um...you froze
your friend.

- I know I froze my friend!

Why are you smiling?

- I don't smile.

I smirk.

And I'm doing it because
you did something bad.

- Yeah, and when I tell dad
that you're the one

who invited Cherry here,

he'll make us all
move again.

Smirk on that, smirky.

- Okay, this isn't
so fun anymore.

- are we really
gonna have to move?

- don't worry, Nora.

Max and I will solve this.

- You two are going
to work together?

Both: Let's get packin'.

- Guys, guys, guys, wait.

There is a very simple
solution.

I just wipe her memory
with my Brian melt .

- You are not wiping
my best friend's brain.

- She's friends with you
and is named after a fruit.

There's probably not much
there to wipe.

- No, we just need
to thaw Cherry out

and give her an explanation
for what she saw.

- Hey, I like that.
- Thank you.

- You'll fail,
it'll be hilarious,

and I still get
to wipe her brain.

Uh-Oh.

I feel a smirk coming on.

Oh, yeah.

There it is.

- Metal bat!

[metal creaking]

- Ohh! Oh!

[cheers and applause]

that was amazing.

- Cement block!

[laughs]

[cheers and applause]

- Thunder man, can I talk
to you for a second?

- Yeah, Barb, what's up?

- Super strength? Are you trying
to get us exposed?

- Honey, don't worry.

Everybody thinks
I'm a party entertainer

using fake props.

The kids get a thrill,

I get to bust out a little
of the old thunder risk-Free.

It's all good, Barb.

- Fly me, thunder man!

- Fly you?

Surprise attack!
Aah!

Get him off me!
Get him off!

[crash]

- Awesome!

[pverlapping chatter]

- Okay, so we're all good
on the plan?

Both: Yep.
- Lame.

- Why do you always assume
your plans are better than Mine?

- I have a supervillain lab.

You put glitter
on your homework.

I think
it's a safe assumption.

- You'll see.

This'll work.

[wind whipping]

[ice cracking]

so...Let's hear it.

If you don't
have superpowers,

how do you explain those kids
rising into the air?

- [scoffs]
simple.

They happen to have been
rehearsing

for their new
school musical...

Cannibal Squids from Mars.

- I'll get you,
cannibal squid!

- Never, space overlord!

BOTH: ♪ Oh, why can't squids
and overlords ♪

♪ be friends? ♪

- There.

Isn't that a completely
believable Explanation?

- I guess so?

- Good, then let's forget
about this whole

superpowers thing.

[bell chimes]
- Oh! The brownies.

- Brownies?

[zoom]

- I'll cut 'em in squares.

- Whoops. Heh.

Brownie?

- You all have superpowers.

Wait till I post this
on my blog!

- I got this one.

[wind whipping,
ice cracking]

You can't have all the fun.

- [sighs]

- I can't believe this!

Now Cherry's gonna tell
everyone at school

that we have powers,
and Dad'll make us move again.

- Where am I gonna get
another supervillain Lair?

- Where am I gonna get
a new best friend?

- That's it!
We are not moving.

Not if the brain melt
has anything to say about it.

- You are not
wiping her brain.

- Fine, I'll just
launch her into space.

- are you nuts?
- Oh, no one's gonna miss her.

- You always do this!
- We gotta do something.

[electronic droning]

- Alert, alert.

Parents approaching house.

- I added parent alert
this morning.

- Nice.
- Also...

BOTH: Aah!

- Mom and dad are pulling in!

- We can't let them
see Cherry!

- Oh.

- Put her in the closet.
- Okay.

- Everyone act natural.

- [groaning]
- Easy.

- Hey, mom.
Hey, Dad.

- 'sup, guys?

- [stiffly]
good evening, parents.

I do not know why
you'd be suspicious.

- Hank, I'll get you
a heating pad

in the closet.

- Wait!

Because I have a splinter.

- Oh. Let me take
a look in the light.

[high-pitched droning]

I don't see anything.
- Look Harder!

- I'll just get an ice pack
from the kitchen.

- I'll get it, dad.

Junior supertroopers
are trained to help the elderly.

- I think I can handle it.

[grunting]

- [whispering]
Upstairs.

- I gotta get my glasses
upstairs.

- No!

Did I say splinter?

I meant a cold.

Ah-Choo!

- Hey, honey...

honey...which cabinet
is the--

What is that?

- What is that?

- I know.
Ugly, right?

I am so done with
the lamp of the month club.

- Phoebe, isn't this
your friend Cherry?

- Mom, dad, I can explain.

See, you wouldn't let me
go to Cherry's,

so invited Cherry here,

but then she saw me
use powers,

so I kind of froze her.

- Really?

Honesty.

That's what
you're going with?

- You let a non-Supe
in the house?

- I know.
I screwed up.

I broke the rules,
and I'm really sorry.

I just...
wanted to have a friend.

- I'm sorry, too.

Start packing, everybody.
- We have to move?

- We're moving?
- I don't wanna move!

- Sorry,
but we have no choice.

We have to keep
our powers a secret.

Although I know
showing them off sometimes

can be tempting.

- [sighs]

Well, at least I had
a best friend

for a little while.

- Mom, dad, wait.

This isn't Phoebe's fault.

It's mine.

I texted her friend
to come over

so I could go
work in the Lair.

So if you're gonna
punish anyone, punish me.

- Phoebe let her
in the house.

- Because she wanted
a friend.

Come on, dad.

You moved us here so we could
live normal Lives.

Well...don't ruin
Phoebe's chances

because of something
that I did.

- I'll tell you what.

I will pretend this whole night
never happened

if you and your sister
can figure out a way

to fix this.

- We're toast.

- Wait!

It's a long shot, but...

I know something
we can try.

[upbeat piano music]

ALL: ♪ So if you're
ever in space ♪

♪ drop by
and visit our place ♪

♪ ask for
the cannibal squids ♪

- ♪ We'll treat you right ♪

- ♪ You'll be our guest ♪

- ♪ We hope you're not
too hard to digest ♪

- So...you're all
in the school musical,

and all that weird stuff I saw
was just special effects?

All: Yep.

- You buyin' that?

- Of course I'm buying that!

You guys are so cool!

Group selfie!
- Okay!

Well, it's getting late.
Thanks for coming by.

- You're great, Max.
I knew Phoebe had a brother,

but she never said
he was so talented.

- Yeah, whatever, orange.

- It's Cherry.
- Okay, Bye.

- What a night.

Come on, kids.
Time for bed.

- Can Max and Phoebe
babysit us every night?

All: No!

- Think I'm gonna try
one of those brownies

in the kitchen.

- That was a really nice thing
you did for me.

- Yeah, listen.

I have a reputation
to uphold,

so if we can keep this whole
nice thing on the down low...

- Nuh-Uh--
You did a nice thing,

and I'm never gonna
forget it.

Try to melt my brain,
and I'll cram that thing

down your smirk hole.

[thud]

- Mmm.

You know what these need?

Macadamia nuts.

- Let me guess:
You're gonna fly

all the way to hawaii
and get--

- Thunder man!
Away!

- We have a weird family.
- Yeah, we do.

- Why does it say "Nora rules"
on the moon?

- Nora!
