♪

You can't make us go to
school in this windstorm.

You have to let us skip.

We'll let you skip
school when pigs fly.

[pig squealing]

- Flying pig!
- No school!

You still have to go.

Guys, it's only
a bit of wind.

You just have to
dress for it.

Wow, you found a helmet
that fits your pointy head.

Yeah, and it also
does this...

Ow!

All right, Chloe,

we need you to teleport
us to school again.

You still owe me candy
for the last time I took you.

Well, let me grab
you a piece from my...

Grab her, Billy!

CHLOE:
[whooshing]

Got her.

Guess I should have
been more specific.

Kids, quit messin' around
and get to school.

Yeah. Do we have
to tell you the story

about Heinrich
Hiddenville III again?

KIDS:
No!

- Our mayor...
- KIDS: [groaning]

...Heinrich
Hiddenville III,

grandson of our
our town's founder,

always went to school
no matter what.

Even on
November th, ,

when young Heinrich
was att*cked by a bear.

[growling]
HANK: [screams]

He used his trusty pencil
to scare the bear away!

[gasping]
Oh, I'm bear-y frightened.

Yeah, we all
are, guys.

Not only did he
make it to school,

but he won a dance
contest that night.

And he became so popular that
he was voted class president.

Which made him want
to be mayor one day.

Blah, blah, lies.

No, it's true.

Oh, sweet, sweet Mother,

you don't need to trick me
with some fake mayor story.

I'd go to school on Saturdays,
if it weren't trespassing.

Yeah, and if you're
gonna make up stories,

at least throw in
some mermaids.

People like mermaids.

I don't like mermaids.

- Yoo-hoo!
- Who is that?

You'd better hope
it's not a mermaid.

BLOBBIN:

Cousin Blobbin,
are you okay?

Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya!

[chair clatters]

A simple, "I'm fine"
would've been cool.

COLOSSO: Is that
my breakfast burrito?

Oh, hi, Blobbin.

Hi, ThunderCousos.
[sighing]

I've got good news.

I'm treating you to
an all-expense-paid vacation...

THUNDERMANS:
Yay!

...in my cozy timeshare.

[wind howling]

THUNDERMANS:
Ohhhh...

Oh, come on,
it'll be fun.

Uh, I wish we could,
but we have school.

School. Yes.
[laughs]

I knew it'd come
in handy one day.

How about you two?

Who needs a...
♪ Vacay ♪

Well, we have to...

Uh, give Colosso a bath.

A bath? Never!

Viva la stink!

See what we're
dealing with?

Sorry, but we're
a no-go.

Okay, but if you
change your mind...

Oh, we won't.
Bye, Blobbin.

[wind howling]

And bye, kids.

Have fun at school!
We will!

[wind howling]

Should we give
them a ride?

In this wind?
[laughing] No, thank you.

[wind howling]

Oh, that was the worst
walk to school ever.

How is your hair
still so perfect?

Please, Phoebe.

Nothing's takin' down
my swoosh.

Hey, guys.

Your parents tell you
that bogus story, too?

Yeah. They tricked me
by making it a puppet show.

And you know me... I am
not easily tricked.

Wolfgang's lucky.

I bet his host family
didn't make him come in.

WOLFGANG:
[thuds, groans]

[wind howling]

Hey! Doors
closed, maggots.

You're lettin' in
all the riffraff.

Principal Bradford, how come
you look so put together?

Yeah, why don't you look
all messed up from the wind?

[laughs] It's probably
because he lives here.

STUDENTS:
[laughing]

I say now. Oh, come on.
I don't live here.

I live at one, two, uh,
three school street.

[laughing]

Phoebe has tree hair!

WOLFGANG:
[laughing]

[school bell rings]

Right. I look ridiculous.

I should have just
stayed home.

We all should have.

And it's supposed
to be windy all week.

We're gonna have to
keep coming back here

because of
Heinrich Stupidville.

Unless we can find proof
that story's fake.

Follow me to
the library.

Yeah, right, I'll go to
the library when pigs fly.

[pig squealing]

Okay, whose pig is that?

Let's go!

All these books on
the history of Hiddenville

and they all tell the same
ridiculous Heinrich story.

At least we got
to hang at the libe.

Never ever call
a library "the libe."

[wind howling]

NORA:
[sighs]

That was crazy.

The wind tossed
Billy into a tree.

[laughs] Phoebe
got tossed in a tree, too.

MAX & NORA:

It sounds like
Blobbin's back.

[wind howling]

Hi-ya, ThunderMateys.

Going on a big trip...

To a pirate convention?

[chuckling]

I went back to the s,

and sailed the high
seas with Captain Blackbeard.

The s?

Is that oversized refrigerator
in the driveway a time machine?

Indeedy, doozers.

But I call it a timeshare
because I share it

with a certain billionaire
whose name rhymes with...

Poprah Shwinfrey.

He's talking about
Taylor Swift.

Anyway...
[chuckles]

Arrrrg your
parents home?

Oh, probably still trying
to give Colosso a bath.

Ah...
[sniffing]

I could probably
use one, too.

Oh, Hank!

Guys, this is perfect.
We have a time machine.

We can go back to
and ride dinosaurs.

No. We can go
back in time

and prove that that
Heinrich story's a lie.

Then no parent
could ever use it

to make a kid go
to school again.

Are you crazy, Max?

Time travel isn't something
you just toy with.

We're not gonna
toy with it.

We're just gonna...
fuss with it a little.

But, hey, you do
what you want.

Oh, Phoebe.

Albert Einstein Do?

- Ow!

What'd you do that for?

I just wanted to make sure
my lasers still work in .

We have to hide
the timeshare

before we start
looking for Heinrich.

There's a button here
that says "camouflage."

[presses button]

Hey, where did it go?

[thuds]
Oh!

Found it.

Way to go, SuperZero!

Colosso,
what are you doing here?

I jumped in your camper
before you went back in time.

I do not like baths.

Stay here until
we're ready to go.

Will do...

something different!

See ya, suckers!
[laughing]

Well, that's not good.

We'll deal with
him later.

[gasps]
I think that's Heinrich.

He looks just like
the kid in the picture.

Gosh, that's
a pretty flower.

I shall smell it, then record
it in my flower journal.

[laughing]

Okay, there's no way that
kid fights off a bear.

Well, we're about
to find out.

Look!
[bear growling]

KIDS:
[screaming]

Okay, the big, scary
bear part checked out,

But there's no way he's gonna
fight it off with a pencil.

[bear growling]

Listen here, Mr. Bear,

you can't stand in
the way of my education.

[bear growling]

[quiet growl]

What the what?

The story's true.

I wonder what else Mom
and Dad were right about?

Should I be wearing
underwear?

Wait, it's not too late
to make them wrong about this.

What if we...

stop Heinrich from
getting to school?

Whoa, whoa, Max.

It's one thing
to toy with time.

Now you wanna
toy with attendance?

Phoebe, if we stop him
from going to school,

parents won't be able to
tell the story anymore.

We freeze him and when
he thaws out later,

he'll have missed
the whole day.

How hard could it be?

I hate it when you say
"how hard could it be?"

- Yeah, how hard could it be?
- How hard could it be?

Everyone, stop it!

Come on, before
he gets away.

[frosty air gusting]

Great Scott!
What was that?

sh**t, missed!
Billy, block him!

[zooming]

I'm being accosted
by supervillains.

[zooming]

We're not supervillains.
We're superheroes.

I'm being accosted

We're just trying
to skip school

on a windy day
years from now.

Stand still!
[lasers zapping]

You... you stay
away from me,

you no-goodnicks!

Ow! My leg!

Because of you monsters,
I'm gonna miss school.

Well, you heard him.
Our work here is done.

I'm gonna miss
the sock hop.

What will I write
in my dance journal?

We can't just leave
him here, guys.

Guys?

Wait up!

Hey, the wind is gone.

Even better...

Mom and Dad will never tell
us that annoying story again.

Something's different.

It's the lamp,

Where are
Mom and Dad?

Are we in the wrong house?

Are you part of the Puking
Scorpions Biker g*ng?

KIDS:
No.

Then you are definitely
in the wrong house.

Let me smack
'em, Daddy!

Whoa, there's a mistake.
We live here.

Look at our

Which is now you
guys getting arrested.

He's making fun of
our vacation picture!

Get 'em!
Yeah!

PHOEBE: It's clear
what's happening here!

MAX: When we went back
in time, we changed history?

Yes, and they're gonna
hurt us, so go right now!

All right, Billy and Nora
are safe in the timeshare.

Let's find out exactly
how we changed things.

Wow, look at our school.

This place is a dump.

Evil Max would
have loved it.

Hey, you!

Give up the lunch money
and nobody gets hurt.

She's lying!

Either way, we're gonna
pound you into next week.

Uh, Gideon, Cherry,
it's me, Phoebe.

We don't know you.

Yeah, gimme your
lunch money!

And your number.

I'm sorry, he's just so
adorable when he's being tough.

- Is this adorable?
- Oh!

Yeah. A little.

Wolfen Pack!

[howling]

We'd better go.

You got off easy
this time, losers!

[stamps foot]
Ow!

Why aren't they
hurting you?

Hey, Bradford.

The name's Bad Chad.

What the heck
do you want?

We're just trying to know
what happened to Hiddenville.

Yeah, didn't Heinrich
Hiddenville III

become mayor and make
the town awesome?

Heinrich Hiddenville III?

You mean King Heinie,
the crime boss?

He's a crime boss?

Named King Heinie?

Everyone knows
the story of King Heinie.

Four superheroes att*cked him
and he missed his dance contest.

His hatred of superheroes

drove him to
an amazing life of crime.

Been there.

Heinrich grew up to
become a powerful crime boss

and took over Hiddenville.

He banished all
superheroes.

And bears.

He is one angry Heinie.

That's why the town
filled up with criminals.

It sure did.

Including me.
My purse!

[mockingly]
My purse now. Hee-hee.

Oh, now I see why Mom
and Dad weren't in the house.

They never moved here.

This is all our fault.

I just wanted Mom and Dad
to stop telling that story.

We have to go back in time

and stop ourselves
from hurting Heinrich.

Phoebe, we can't do that.

If we see ourselves
in the past,

the whole universe
could close in on itself.

Watch a movie,
ya bookworm!

Okay, then, let's go
back later in the day

and talk to King Heinie.

[laughing]
That name is so fun to say.

Maybe if we can help
him win the dance contest,

he won't hate superheroes

and everything
will go back to normal.

Okay, great.
Let's do that.

And find some shoes.
Why?

Someone stole ours.

So nice!

[electrical zapping]

[door creaking]

Okay, we're back
in the 's.

NORA: First step,
find Heinrich.

There he is.

Well, that first
step was easy.

Now all we have to do is get
him to win a dance contest.

How hard could it be?

[bicycle bell ringing]

Stop saying
"How hard could it be?"

If the dweeb's
leg is broken,

how are we gonna
fix the future?

We'll figure
something out.

Now Heinrich is probably
gonna be scared

when he sees us,
so nobody...

Where's Billy?

Yo, Heinrich.
Remember me?

[screams]

MAX: Hey, buddy!
Chill out!

We're here to help.

Chill out?

Is that superhero wordplay

because of your
ice mouth powers?

We came back
to say sorry.

You're not
gonna hurt me?

Not that you could
do any more damage.

You've already ruined
my perfect attendance.

Whew. Been there.

And then my partner
for the dance contest

dropped me like
a hot potato.

It's just
a dance contest.

What matters is that
you're a winner...

here.

He doesn't speak
for all of us.

I wanted to win that contest
so I could become popular.

In fact, who knows? Maybe
I could become class president.

You could be mayor.

That'll never happen now,
thanks to you guys.

What did we do?

I'm gonna talk to
you three from now on.

Look, Heinrich,
let us use our powers

to help you win
the dance contest.

Yeah, I could be
