Make It Pop Pop

¶

- Do you always have to be by my locker?

- Max, that's Cherry's locker.

Oh, you're right.

Oooh, a muffin!

Hey, guys.

- Ah, don't hurt me! I'll put it back!

Oh, this. Yeah.

It belongs to my older brother, Perry.

I accidentally grabbed it on the way out this morning.

- How did you "accidentally" do that?

- I thought it was my back scratcher.

- Let's focus on the weirder thing here.

You have an older brother?

- Cherry has five brothers. - Yep.

- Perry, Harry, Terry, Barry and John Cena.

- I think you made that last one up.

- Perry is training to become a hockey pro

and live in Canada.

- And John is a very popular professional wrestler.

- John Cena is not your brother!

- Anyway, Perry's in town because they're honoring him

by hanging his old hockey jersey up at the local skating rink.

Ah, hockey...

I coulda gone pro, if it wasn't for one thing.

You've never played.

- Yeah, that's the one thing.

See ya.

- I can't believe I finally get to meet the famous Perry.

- Yep, everybody loves Perry the Great.

But whenever he's around, I become Cherry the Who?

- You always say that. It can't be that bad.

Oh, it's worse.

One time our parents came to pick us up from summer camp--

took Perry home and forgot me.

- How far did they get before they realized?

January.

- Hey, Cherry! - Hey, Coach Shimeck.

- I wanna talk to you about how well you did

on your health class exam.

- See? Nobody forgot about you.

- I'm so proud of-- Holy hockey sticks, it's Perry!

So, about my exam?

Who are you?

Right back at you.

Strangers! Strangers! Strangers!

Hey, Cherry.

- Hey, Perry. This is my bestie.

Hi. Um...I'm Boebe.

Uh, Moebe.

Phoebe.

That's me. It's nice to meet me.

I mean, you.

- It's very nice to meet you.

- - Whoa!

Feel that spark?

- It's called static electricity.

Here's your hockey back. Bye.

Do you see what I'm talking about?

He walks into a room

and everything becomes all about him.

Cherry, don't be silly.

It's not all about Perry.

Attention, students!

Perry is in the quad! I repeat, Perry is in the quad!

- So, you think John Cena's your brother.

That's interesting.

¶

You guys are on fire!

- What are the kiddos up to?

- Well, isn't it obvious? They're...

- - They're...

Yeah, I have no idea what they're doing.

We're bottle flipping.

- Ha! Ah! Bottle flipping.

You know, I coulda gone pro, if it wasn't for one thing.

- You've never played. - That's the one thing.

So, explain this game real quick, so I can beat ya.

- First, you take a bottle that's half full.

Or is it half empty?

Whoa-a-a-a-a...

Billy, stop. Nora, go.

- The goal is to flip the bottle into the air

and have it land upright...

- - ...like this.

- Wow, you guys are really talented.

Why is this a thing?

- Let's go look it up online.

- So, all you do is toss a bottle in the air?

How hard can that be?

- Actually, it's pretty hard.

- Well, by the law of older brothers,

I'm better than you at everything.

- Oh, yeah? Race you to Texas!

I win, pardner!

- I meant better than you at games.

Observe.

- You used to beat them, buddy.

- Billy, we've finally found a game

we're better at than Max.

- Pssst! Yeah, right. Not a chance.

This table isn't even level.

- Fine. Then why don't you try it at the kitchen island?

Sure.

Watch and learn...

- ...that this island is also not level.

- It'll probably be impossible for us to do this, then.

Boom!

- Stupid boom! Stupid game!

Oh, I'm sorry.

Is that mumbling your way of saying

we're better than you?

- You will never hear that.

I'm takin' you down to rematch town.

- Oh, is that your excuseville?

- Race you to excuseville!

- I don't know where he's going, but...

I hope he comes back.

Oh, Phoebe!

You know how I love singing while I eat ice cream.

- Yes. I love watching you

and making sure you don't choke.

- Well, they just opened up

a new karaoke ice cream club downtown.

It's called... I Scream, You Scream

Really Loudly Into a Microphone!

- Cool. But there's no microphone here,

so you don't have to scream yet.

Oh.

Oh, my mom's calling.

Hey, Mom.

But, no, I don't wanna--

Fine.

Perry! Perry! Perry!

Alert! Alert!

Cherry's brother Perry approaching.

- Cherry's Perry? Cherry's Perry?

Should I call a doctor?

Your heart just skipped a beat.

No.

And "mute." -

Oh, hey there.

Hey, Boebe Moebe.

Ha, ha, ha.

So glad you remembered me embarrassing myself.

- Oh, no way. It was super sweet.

- Oh? Well, in that case...

follow Moebe.

What's up? You looking for Cherry?

- Actually, I came to see you.

Me? Why? Me?

I mean...

Cool. Cool. Cool.

- I was wondering if you wanna hang tomorrow night.

Just us. - Like a date?

- Like a date. - Like a yes.

- Great. See you tomorrow.

Okay.

She shoots, she scores!

She takes out the hockey words.

- Did I hear Perry? - Yeah, you just missed him.

You'll never guess what he wanted.

- To ask you out. - Wow, that's a good guess.

I knew it!

I thought I saw him being all flirty

with you at school.

And what did his face look like

when you said you would never go out with him?

Uh...

Ooh, it was that bad?

Oh, he must have been so surprised

that somebody turned him down.

So surprised.

- Thank you for not dating him. - Yeah.

- We both know how that would go.

- Yeah. I mean, I do, but, well, how...

how do you think it would go?

You date Perry,

he becomes all you can think about,

until you forget me, like everyone else.

Oh...

- Just the thought of it breaks my heart.

Sure...well...

it's a good thing I turned down that date, then.

Reminder.

Phoebe has a date tomorrow with--

I will unplug you!
