Date of Emergency

Speed it up, Max.

We're gonna miss Chloe's pre-school graduation party.

Relax. We're early.

We're two hours late.

Yeah, for me that's early.

- Happy graduation, Chlo--no!

What...oh! We missed the whole party.

- Remember our graduation party?

- Yeah. Uh, you filled my pockets with candy

and told everyone I was the piñata.

It was a great party.

- Gotta figure out where everyone is.

- You're right, I do want a snack.

I didn't...say that.

- You're right. I want a nap, too.

Not a single chip spilled.

- There you are. -

- Glad you finally decided to come home.

The steak turned out amazing.

Awesome. You cooked?

Yeah.

I'll just put this delicious steak next to your chips.

Enjoy!

This is nothing.

I once ate a slice of pizza off a bathroom floor.

Ugh!

- Look, I'm sorry, but I was busy training for the Z Force.

- Yes, but you've forgotten about

the most important force of all...the we force!

That's not a thing.

It used to be!

- How long have you been breathing like that?

- A while. I'm kind of used to it--

just like being ignored by my best friend!

That sounds awful.

Say, you got any steak sauce?

- Shouldn't you call the super vet?

Oh, right, yeah.

I'll call them right after I eat.

Thank you.

- I'm gonna eat this upstairs.

- Why isn't anyone getting back to me?

Hey, Thunder Monitor, is my family coming home soon?

Get back in your hole.

- It's a lair and I can go wherever I want.

Not talking to you, Max.

Oh! Where have you guys been?

- After the party we took Chloe for a ride on her new bike.

Watch me ride.

- I'm not sure she gets it yet.

- I can't believe I missed Chloe's party.

Tell me every single person that was there.

Oh, Jayden? Braden?

Aidan? Kayden?

Sam?

Scabby Sam was here?

I'm eating my food outside.

- This is just so not like me. I never miss anything.

What are those looks for?

- It's nothing.

- High-pitched "nothing" always means something.

- We've just, sort of, gotten used to you missing out

on family time because of your Z Force training.

- Please! Name one thing I've missed.

- The Planetarium. - The Wax Museum.

- My lecture on scrapbooking.

- I wish I'd missed that one.

- Yesterday you missed an epic family day at Prehistoric Putt.

- What? You guys went to Prehistoric Putt without me?

Not exactly.

Some parents forgot to get tickets ahead of time.

Hey, it wasn't all bad.

Since we couldn't get in,

we had a tailgate party in the parking lot.

I got hit by a car.

- Don't worry. It was parked.

- I didn't realize how much family time

I've been missing out on.

I used to be the queen of family time.

Remember that little crown I made myself?

- Yes, honey. We were all at your coronation.

- You know what, clear your schedules.

In fact--

- You keep that little crown with you all the time?

- Just be glad she didn't bring her scepter.

Nope, there it is.

Hear ye, hear ye!

I declare tomorrow evening Phoebe Family Fun Night.

I shall make up for all the time I've missed.

Your queen has spoken.

I'm not coming, Queen. - Just eat your steak!

- Thank you for coming all the way

from Metroburg, Dr. Goodsniffer.

- Are you sure she's a real super vet?

- That's what the ad on the bus said.

With your permission,

I'm going to examine your soul...internally.

- - Gah!

- And that's my cue to step out.

- Ah, here's the problem. It's your cape.

My cape?

I'm not gonna take fashion advice

from some crystal- waving weirdo.

Who hurt you?

Here, let me loosen your cape.

Ahhhhh...

You fixed me!

Wait. So, I'm not sick?

- No. Your body is just bursting with love.

- What? - You're chubby.

But the good news is you don't have bunny fever.

- Bunny fever? What's that?

- Your insides turn to jelly and you need 24-hour care

for the rest of your pain-filled life.

But you don't have it.

But if I did,

Max would have to take care of me all the time.

Now I do recommend

these organic mints for your butt breath.

Get out!

Namaste!

Oh, Max!

- What did Dr. McWeirdo say?

- It's bad, Maxie. Real bad.

I have something called bunny fever.

Really?

Oh, man. That sounds serious.

- The doctor said it's caused by neglect.

I don't want you to blame yourself.

But it's all your fault.

- Oh, Colosso, I'm so sorry.

Is there anything I can do to help?

- The super vet said I needed someone

to watch me over me all the time.

I got you.

You won't have to lift a finger...

or whatever you call those things in your paws.

- There's no telling how much time I have.

Just hold me.

That's a little weird.

- Hey, you guys ready for Phoebe Family Fun Night?

- Oh, I thought you said Phoebe Family Fun Fight.

- Why...why would I... never mind.

Who wants a knuckle sandwich?

- I clearly said Phoebe Family Fun Night.

I'll go change.

- Right, guys, we are going somewhere awesome.

Feast your eyes on these bad boys.

Six tickets to Mini Golf

and Family Fun Zone Prehistoric Park.

- Phoebe! How did you get these tickets?

They've been sold out for months.

- Let's just say I know a guy.

Are you Guy?

I'm also going to the fifth grade dance on Friday.

- Well, I can't wait to go to Prehistoric Putt.

- You know, kids, your dad was an award-winning

mini golfer back in his day.

- They called me hole-in-one-Hank!

On account of all the hole-in-ones!

Isn't that clever?

Can we please leave now?

- Yeah, let's start Family Fun Night.

All right, all right.

But let's call it Phoebe Family Fun Night...

because that's what the t-shirts say!

You get a shirt... and you get a shirt.

That steak was delicious!

You didn't stick it in your armpit, did you?

Of course not.

Ah! - Ah!

Now this is what I miss,

the old Max and Colosso back and forth.

- Hey, you seem like you're feeling much better.

I do?

Because I'm pretty sure

my insides are turning to jelly.

What can I do to help?

Well, there is one thing

that'll take my mind off the pain.

I wrote this song and I'd love for you to sing it for me.

Yeah, maybe later, buddy.

- There might not be a later.
