Can't Spy Me Love

*

- Uh, chicken wings, uh, tots, onion rings, and splat.

Yep, we got a jam.

- Should we get the tube sweeper?

- Nah, it's being used by table five.

Yeah, let's switch tables.

Maybe I can help.

Let's stay.

Whoo, hey, thanks.

- You wanna thank me, let me buy you lunch sometime.

- We haven't paid for this mess yet.

- Sorry, I'm...kinda into paying for my own meals right now.

And her best friend.

She also pays for her best friend.

- Well, it was nice talking to you.

- Uh, I'm just not ready to date again yet.

It hasn't been that long since Link moved.

- I guess I'll know when I get a sign.

Sorry, let me get this.

Oh, it's not me.

Yeah, it's him.

Oh, sorry. I don't know how

"Classical Cats Volume 2" got on my phone.

I have the same ringtone.

- Okay. I lied, I put that on my phone.

Who needs Mozart when you can have Meow

- Wait. You're reading "The Yellow Bandana?"

- It's kinda my favorite book.

- Get out! It's my favorite book.

I've read it like five times.

And I've even listened to the audiobook.

- Have you heard the one read by cats?

- No, but that would be awesome.

Oh, thank you, good sir.

Well...it was nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

So, like I was saying, um, yeah,

I'll know it's time to date again when I get a sign.

- Phoebe, I'm not usually ahead of you on these things--

- Great Meow-zart's ghost, that was like a million signs.

- Donate to the hoverboard foundation?

Buying me a hoverboard.

- Well, in that case, here's an onion ring.

I never liked you.

I missed him.

I guess it's not meant to be.

Look, he left his book.

Oh.

Well, I guess I could just hold onto this

in case I run into him again.

Come on, let's pay and get out of here.

It's for charity.

- * What you see is not what you get *

* Living our lives with a secret *

* We fit right in, bet you'd never guess *

* Because we're living our lives just like all the rest *

* A picture-perfect family is what we try to be *

* But closer you might see the crazy things we do *

* This isn't make-believe

* It's our reality

* Just your average family trying to be normal *

* And stay out of trouble

* Living a double life *

*

- Donate to the hoverboard foundation.

Every penny counts.

Unless it's a penny.

Ugh! - Eh!

- Cherry, prepare to have your mind blown.

Bam!

Whoa! Two books!

I don't get it.

Check it out.

This is my copy of "The Yellow Bandana."

This is my crush's copy.

Here.

I underlined this sentence.

He underlined this sentence.

Look, I put a star next to this part.

He did, too.

Uh, that's just a food stain.

It's like you're soulmates.

- Yeah, well, none of that matters,

because it's been like five days,

and I still haven't run into him.

Maybe I never will.

- Hey, what if you use your super powers

to freeze everyone in town,

then dig through the lifeless bodies

until you find him?

- This is why you're not a superhero.

- What about your Hero League tablet?

Don't you have some kind of search for a bad guy app?

- Yeah, that thing can find anyone.

But it's for official Hero League business only.

They call it Find a Fiend.

Not Find a Cute Guy or May or May Not Be Perfect For You.

Look, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

After school, I'm just gonna go to Splat Burger,

sit quietly, and wait for fate to bring him back to me.

Seriously?

Nobody here's seen the boy reading this book

*

- Not even close to enough money for a hoverboard.

What are we going to do now, Colosso?

We use the old metal detector.

Oh, I'm getting a hit already.

I'm gonna hit you.

That's the can.

Burn! Burn!

Burn! Burn! Burn, ninja! Burn!

- Okay, that's enough ninja burn for one day.

That's the whole question, just why.

- We were at some kind of ninja birthday party.

- It's called "Ninja Burners," Dad.

- "Ninja Burners" is our favorite show.

- Oh, right, I saw that on the DVR...

right before I erased it.

- Ninja Burn! - Hold it!

Whoa, whoa, that ninja party was a bad idea.

No way, it was awesome.

They had a ninja piñata.

Pin the tail on the ninja.

And ninja nachos.

They're nachos with a jalapeno kick.

Hey!

- And the Ninja Burners were there.

Can we get them for our birthday parties this year?

Absolutely not.

Those party performers are way too expensive.

- But you just wasted money buying Chloe crayons.

Don't drag me into this.

- Crayons are not a waste of money.

Especially when you get them for free at a restaurant.

- Chloe just wants to color pictures of her family,

not watch three pretend ninjas slap each other around

for $100 an hour.

Sorry, just choked on a new plan.

- Let's go hang out with the one kid

who isn't kicking or spitting.

- Hey, how would you two like to teach me

everything you know about "Ninja Burners"

so I can make some hoverboard money?

- Seems like he's up to something.

- He just told you what he's up to.

And for the record, it'll never work.

"Ninja Burners" always travel in groups of three.

It's the ninja code.

- Well, then you guys can be ninjas, too.

I'm in.

As long as you keep the money.

I don't mix business with pleasure.

I do.

I want 10% of all profits and a $5 signing bonus.

- I'll you some loose change and a dead battery.

Deal.

- Hey, before you settle on those two, check this out.

Keeee-ya.

Keee-ow!

This book is all I have left of you, Mystery Crush.

- It doesn't have to be. - Ah!

- Don't worry, I'm here, too. - Ah!

- Come on, you know you wanna use

Find a Fiend to get that boy.

Just do it.

Oh, I get it.

Angel Phoebe, Devil Phoebe.

All right, Angel Phoebe, tell me why I shouldn't do it.

- Abusing your Hero League privileges

would be wrong.

Thank you.

Unless...

Tell her the unless.

- Unless you do it really, really quick

so no one finds out.

That's kinda like not even doing it.

- That's not very angel like at all.

Handing out halos to just anyone these days?

- Come on, I really like him, okay?

And all those signs.

I really wanna see where this goes.

- But if I use Find a Fiend, I have to label my crush

as a dangerous criminal.

Well, he is dangerously cute.

- And he's the first guy you've liked since Link.

All right, fine, if you guys both think I should do it,

then I'll do it.

- Uh, actually, you're already doing it.

While Angel Phoebe and I were distracting you,

IT Phoebe logged you into the Find a Fiend app.

You're in.

Uh, I also backed you up to the Cloud.

- Max, how did you make such amazing costumes?

- I got a guy who's a ninja with a needle.

Wah, wah, wah, wah!

- Uh-oh, Barb, he's starting a ninja army.

- Relax, we're just getting ready for our audition

to be birthday party performers.
