On the Straight and Arrow

*

- So, since you've been a bunny,

is it weird going to the bathroom in front of people?

- I don't go in front of people!

Oh, wait...

yes, I do.

Later!

All right, here we go--

two chocolate milks.

- Oh, I thought you were gonna make us milkshakes.

I'm not done yet.

- I love having friends with superpowers!

Yes, sir, we'll be there.

No, four below-average students in a nameless band

would never let you down.

I just booked a gig for Friday night.

And I think I'll celebrate with a milkshake.

Hey!

- Oh, that's okay. He can keep it.

Whoa!

Joke's on you 'cause...

I'm gonna drink my shirt.

- You guys play the best superhero games.

Yay!

- Oh, I miss your cute little bubble power, Chloe.

- Oh, ever since teleporting became her new power,

it's all she does.

It's killing my parents. Oh!

Found her!

Chloe.

You have to stop teleporting all over the house.

- I know it's fun for you, sweetie,

but your Dad and I have trouble keeping up with you.

Well, I can, but he can't.

Daddy's slow.

- You...you know what might keep her from teleporting...

Oh.

- Airplane ride! - All right.

Once more around the world, but that is it.

Thunderman...

feelin' his age!

Whoa!

- Guess I have to go back to my boring house--

where nobody has powers.

- Come on, your house is fun, too.

I mean, you've got--

Hey, look, magic door! Wooo!

So fun!

- You know, sweetie, if you keep on showing off

your superpowers to Cherry,

she might be tempted to take advantage of you.

- Come on, Mom. Cherry's not like that.

Hi. Sorry, um...

the sun made my bike seat hot.

Could you cool it off with your cold spit?

It's freeze breath.

I have so much to learn!

Last one. I promise.

Barb!

- I put her down to get us some churros in Mexico

and she teleported.

What do we do?

' Cause Daddy's slow.

- Phoebe! The best thing ever happened to me this morning.

Your brother forgave you

for accidentally flushing his goldfish?

Shhhh!

I don't talk about your family secret.

You shouldn't talk about mine.

I'm sorry.

I just can't stop thinking about that poor fish.

"Cherry! Why?"

So, what happened this morning?

- Well, my mom made me an appointment

to take my driver's test this Friday.

Then I'll get to drive my parents' car.

OMG! Cherry, you're gonna be driving!

OMG, Cherry.

Drive far away and take my sister with you!

- Wait a minute--I thought your parents weren't gonna

let you take the driver's test until you passed PE.

- Yeah, but all I have to do is hit the target in archery.

- But you're horrible at archery.

They call you--

The Girl Who's Horrible At Archery.

- But I have a super friend who can help me with that.

That's you, Phoebe,

'cause you've got powers.

Right. You love my powers.

Hey, five seconds of dumber.

Read the sign out front.

"No skateboards, carts, or snow sleds."

That isn't toboggan.

- You are why I voted against the foreign exchange program.

Thunderman. - Bradford.

Guys, I thought we were loading

all of our equipment in Wolfgang's car.

Yeah, about that.

His car's in Germany.

- Vroom! Vroom! Deutschland!

- Guys, we needed that car to get to our gig on Friday.

This band's a mess!

We don't speak the same language,

we don't have a car,

and we had to settle for Gideon.

- Guys, guys, no one is more upset

about Gideon than I am.

I might know where we can get a new car.

- Oh, no, I've gotta get across campus.

Uh, do you think that you could

turn the clock back so the bell doesn't ring yet?

- Okay, look, I'm starting to think

we should be a little bit more careful

about how I use my powers.

- Someone need a clock turned back?

- Thank you, Max. You're the best.

Easy peasy.

So, I hear you'll be getting a car this Friday.

Just to confirm--that car is in this country, right?

- Oh, Barb, Chloe is wearing me out.

- I know--between the teleporting and the crying,

I can't take it anymore.

- I only cry because I'm tired.

- Morning. - Good morning.

Morning.

'Cause you just poured us some marbles and--

Dad is putting jelly on an oven mitt.

I'm sorry!

- We're...we're fine. We're just tired.

Eat your pancakes.

- I thought we only have pancakes on Saturdays.

Which is why I made them.

- They think it's Saturday, but it's Thursday.

Get to the point.

These marbles won't stay fresh forever.

- The point is we have a free day off from school.

Sweet!

We can do whatever we want.

Race you to school!

- No, we don't have to go to school.

It's like a snow day, but with no snow

and lots of pancakes.

- I don't know. This feels wrong.

But this feels so right!

I ate a hundred pancakes this morning.

You only ate seven.

Sorry, Billy don't do math.

Mom, I'm home from--

- Whatever Saturday afternoon activity she was at!

- Mom and Dad think it's Saturday.

So we stayed home from school.

- Ah, Chloe's giving them "baby brain."

The same thing happened when Billy was born.

I went to school anyway.

What is wrong with me?

- Heat breath! Heat breath! Heat breath! Heat breath!

Hey! There you are.

I thought we were gonna walk home from school together.

- We got to leave early-- they cancelled our history class

after Max melted the teacher's laptop.

- Ah, you've done that before, too?

- Well, no, but it's an old trick.

Then we went to the mall

and Max used his telekinesis to pant mall cops.

Boop!

And then we came up with a secret handshake.

That's our thing.

- Let's clap it out, Cher-Cher.

That's my nickname for her.

One, two, three, four...

- ...five, six, seven, eight!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Secret handshake.

All right, then...

Look, Cherry, I was thinking we should practice archery

so you can pass PE tomorrow and get that driver's license.

- Actually, Max is gonna hide in the bushes during class

and use his telekinesis to help me hit the target.

Superpowers!

Pow!

That's my mom.

- Here, let me get the door for ya.

Here, I'll get it.
