- Another day, another evil deed to impress Dark Mayhem.

Oh!

- I love the sound of pain in the morning.

Oh, hey, Max.

Writing in your diary?

- It's not a diary. It's a chronicle.

Yes.

- Do you write your dark secrets in it?

Yes.

* Diary

- Oh, sorry, we're just gonna need you to steer clear

of the endangered stink plant.

- Oh, is that just like a clever name or--

No. That stinks.

- It smells because it's about to bloom.

- You know, I really do admire all the work

you and the Green Teens are doing, Allison.

- Well, you two should join us.

I mean, you can't imagine the rush

of being a hero and saving the Earth.

- That's almost impossible to imagine.

Why is this stupid fence

blocking the way to my office?

- This is a PPZ-- Plant Protection Zone.

You're gonna have to GTWS-- Go Through Wood Shop.

Those kids have moustaches and sharp tools.

And what idiot gave you permission to do this?

"Principal Brad--"

I've gotta start paying attention

to things a little bit--

Ha. Two for two, baby.

- Thunderman, I know this was you!

I am tired of you and your diary.

You're never getting this back.

You can't take tha--

Oh!

- I love the sound of pain in the morning.

* What you see

* Is not what you get

* Livin' our lives with a secret *

* We fit right in

* Livin' a double life

- Oh, Max, did you hear the awful news?

I know. It's terrible.

- Seriously, Bradford was so annoyed by that stink plant,

he's gonna rip it out so he has a place to play golf.

- So we joined the Green Teens--

mainly because we care,

but mostly because it came with this free t-shirt.

- They're made from the recycled waste of elephants.

- So, you guys are wearin' poop-shirts.

And you could, too,

if you signed up like your sister, Max.

What are you--like a child's size medium?

I'm a woman's "husky."

Phoebe, would you explain to your odd little friend here

how the whole Max/Phoebe twin thing works?

- Yeah, so, um, I tell Max something I care about

and ask for his help and then he does something--

like that.

And then I do something--

like that.

Although I'm sure it'd be a lot easier

if he just supported me for once.

- Colosso, I told you not to call me at school.

You know I take my education seriously.

- But, for real, don't call me here again.

Don't hang up!

Dark Mayhem wants to have your first chronicle review tomorrow.

Oh, that's terrible.

- I know. We're gonna have to cancel our Bunny 'n Me class.

- No. Bradford took my chronicle and locked it in his office.

Steal it back.

- I tried, but...there was a tiny hiccup.

*

- PRINCIPAL BRADFORD's VOICE: Max Thunderman...

back away from the office door, you loser.

If you have nothing to show Dark Mayhem,

you're done.

You'll have to really take your education seriously.

Ahhhh!

- But, for real, I need to find a way past the security system.

Hmmm...let me see...

Ooh, there's a group called the Green Teens

that waters the plants at school and has keys to every room--

including Bradford's office.

- I think I know what I have to do.

You never tell me about your day.

- Hank, I knew you had the skills

to clean the gutters by yourself.

That's right, honey.

I'm just as good at cleaning up this house

as I was at cleaning up crime.

- That'll be tomorrow's project.

Mom, Dad, check it out.

Billy made me this cool wizard's hat.

- And Nora made me this black pizza-box hat.

It's a graduation cap, Billy.

Remember this image.

It might be the last time you see it.

- I'm glad you two are having fun,

but I hope you didn't forget to put the scissors away again.

Yeah, we have to be careful.

Chloe can teleport into any room--

which is why we've been using the bathroom at the library.

- Don't worry. We put the scissors away.

- Yeah, we're not completely irresponsible.

- Good. Now if you'll excuse us,

we have some overdue books to return.

- I didn't put the scissors away. Did you?

I never do.

* Found the scissors

I got a haircut.

- Oh, no, if Mom and Dad see that,

we're gonna be toast.

I know how to fix this.

Bowl cut. Bam!

- You don't deserve to wear that hat.

*

- Now the putting green has to have

freshly-cut Bermuda grass.

- Uh, we're trying to have a meeting here.

Have some respect, Phoebe.

This putting green is for our golf team.

We don't have a golf team.

"We don't have a golf team."

Nah.

So, let's talk water hazards.

- He cannot get away with this.

What's our plan to defeat him?

- The elephant who made these shirts

is going to stampede through the school.

No school. No Bradford.

The stink plant lives!

- No, we can't destroy the school.

"No, we can't destroy the school."

Sorry, I just like when Bradford does that.

- So, I'm guessing we have nothing.

You have me.

I present page 50, chapter 9, line 3 of the student handbook.

- Oh, Allison, this is where Max pretends to do something nice.

"A student group may reject the principal's plan

if a petition is signed by two-thirds of the student body."

- And then I do something like this...

Wait, that was a good plan. - Yeah, it's good.

And I already drew up a petition

on recycled dolphin- dirtied paper.

- Max, why are you doing this?

- Okay, I know you don't think I have a heart, but I do.

It's small, but it's there.

And when you said I don't support you,

my little baby heart broke.

- That's really what you're goin' with?

- I don't blame you for being skeptical,

but I just really wanna help you take down Bradford.

Okay, that, I believe.

All right, fine, you can help us.

Not because I trust you, but we're desperate.

- Good news. The elephant is available.

Very desperate.

Okay, guys, um... Max is joining the Green Teens.

- So, do I get keys to every room in the school

now that I'm a Green Teen?

Uh, I ran outta keys.

Oh, man!

Uh, I just really wanna water the plants.

*

- Well, tape didn't work, glue didn't work.

How are we gonna put this back on her head?

Give me that!

Mom and Dad are gonna be so mad

that we changed our cute baby sister

into a teleporting, nubby-haired freak!

- This is what we get for leaving the scissors out.

By the way, I don't think we ever put them away.

We've gotta find them before Chloe gets them.

I got another haircut.

Ahhhhhh!

Everything okay, kids?

- They're coming! Double snuggle.

- We heard yelling. What happened?

- Nothing. Just snuggling with my sisters.

We're tight, yo.

Two haircuts.

- Tighter than two haircuts, son!

That's what the kids are saying these days.

- Oh, yeah, we know. We're cool.
