The first 200 lines.
Popcorn, check.
No Max and Phoebe to annoy me,
double check.
Me time activated.
Previously on Glove Island...
Chlo-chella!
This looks dumb. What is it?
Glove Island.
Oh, is that the reality show
where good-looking Australians are on an island
looking for a glove?
Yeah.
And it's great to watch alone.
I would never watch that show. Move over.
So, is the glove on the island,
or is the island a glove?
Max, it's been a long day of school and training,
and I could really use some me time.
Ah. Totally get it.
Do you think I should part my hair to the other side?
Wait a minute.
I don't part my hair at all.
That's so interesting.
Bye.
You are the most handsome hero.
Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
Where'd she go?
Me time take two.
Now, let's peek in on Toby.
Oi, mate, that's one tricky glove.
Ooh, popcorn.
Don't mind if I do.
I was just having a little me time.
Mmm. Well, now you're having tea time.
Ready to hear the hot goss?
Do I have a choice?
The history teacher and the lunch lady
were holding hands.
Or maybe they were holding hams.
You're just gonna keep talking, aren't you?
Oh! We should go hide in the bushes
and see if these juicy ham rumors are true.
I like the hiding part.
Wait. You forgot me.
I reckon Sheila found the glove.
There you are.
We never finished our conversation
about how awesome I am.
And you left in the middle of me giving you juicy ham goss.
Okay, that sounds gross, but you left!
You know what? I'm going to Splats.
- Amazing idea! - Nice!
Ugh! Can you guys just give me some space?
Come on. We give you plenty of space.
You're literally holding on to me right now.
Okay, she may have a point.
I come from a family of superheroes.
But now, my brother, and sister, and I
are heading to a brand-new town.
We're going undercover.
To try and solve our most important mission yet.
Listen, guys, you're great.
But you're with me all the time lately,
at school, at home, on missions.
You're welcome.
We are such good guardians.
Don't you think it's time
you start making your own friends?
What are you talking about?
What would you be doing right now
if we were still in Hiddenville?
Jamming with my band.
Probably hanging with Cherry.
Exactly. You guys should try
making friends like you had there
but here in Secret Shores.
But I have a friend here, Dr. Colosso.
Flea-infested rabbits don't count.
We fixed that problem.
Besides, Phoebe is the one who doesn't have friends.
Hey! Do too!
The barista at my coffee shop,
the greeter at the mall.
They get paid to be friendly.
Okay.
What about Thunderford?
We talk for, like, three hours a day.
Oh, yeah. He asked me to tell you
to back off a little.
What?
I knew he wasn't "shutting down for maintenance."
I'm sure you guys can find great friends.
Ooh, there's Booch. Don't bother us.
Hey, Chloe! Wayland said any food
we get unstuck from the tubes... is free.
No. I said it's half-off.
Then when is free-tube Tuesday?
Every never.
Ooh! Stuck nugget at table five.
Let's go!
Maybe we should back off a little bit.
Yeah, I haven't had to meet new people in a while,
but making a friend can't be that hard, right?
Not for me.
You might have to pay someone.
Oh! I see a potential friend coming this way right now.
Just...
Hey there.
Uh... Do I know you?
Oh, no. But you better get to know me
if I'm gonna be your future maid of honor.
Ah! I see we're both pants people.
You scare me.
- Hey, thanks, Pheebs. - For what?
Showing me what not to do.
Hey, buddy, I was wondering if I could sign you up
for a chance to win some tickets.
You got it,
Jim, who works at the gym.
My boy!
No? Okay.
A-List Elixirs is hosting an exclusive party here,
promoting their $100 celebrity Whoa-Tein shakes.
$100? What's in it?
I don't know.
But it's endorsed by celebrities,
- so you know it's good. - Huh.
That checks out.
I'll just put my name right here.
Max Thunderman,
Jim's best friend.
So--
W-where you going, Jimbo?
Whatever.
He's a dud.
You're a stud...
...who won't end up friendless like Phoebe.
Hey, boss.
Might wanna call animal control,
'cause there's a couple of pythons loose in here!
Spot me, bro?
Y-yeah.
Uh...
Little help here, pal?
And a lifetime of friendship?
Uh... I-I'm good.
I guess this is just my life now.
Bro!
Are you bro-kay?
Oh, yeah.
I just like to... pretend the weight's heavy
so I don't embarrass other people with my strength.
I do the same thing. I'm Brenda, by the way.
- Max. I'm new to Secret Shores. - Same.
I actually only know two folks here.
My pythons!
Well, now you know two more.
Bang!
Man! I came to the gym knowing I'd make gains.
Little did I know what I'd really gain was...
Say it. Say it.
...a friend.
She said it!
Good.
There's no one here to ruin my me time.
Did you say "we time"?
Ugh. I forgot about the rabbit.
Colosso, the living room is mine.
I'm just gonna watch my show and enjoy the ocean breeze.
I wouldn't open that if I were you.
It's pelican migration season,
and, oh boy, do they get rowdy!
The only season I care about
is season 32 of Glove Island.
Oh. Did you know Toby gets voted off?
I do now.
Come on. Let's go to the Air Lair.
Are we going to hang out there?
You are.
That'll teach him not to spoil Glove Island.
Now, where was I?
Coming up, will Toby get voted off?
Yes.
But I still won't let it ruin my day.
But that will!
Thunderford, help!
Ah, Pelecanus occidentalis,
or as I call them, freaky flying dinosaurs. Bye!
You're a superhero, Chloe.
It's just a pelican.
No! It's a monster!
Max?
Pheebs. I'm glad you're here.
My new friend is about to show up,
and I really wanna rub your face in it.
You will do no such thing to my face,
because I also made a new friend.
Imaginary ones don't count.
I befriended my barista.
We bonded over our shared love of literature,
