The first 200 lines.
So, what should we do this weekend?
Mini golf? Mini bowling? Mini tennis?
I love small sports.
Ooh! We can make first contact with aliens!
Just an option.
Or you guys could help me clean the living room!
Also just an option.
I'm thinking relaxation vibes.
I've been stressed out ever since
a jellyfish stung me in my sleep.
Aww. Sometimes I have creepy nightmares, too.
Oh, it wasn't a nightmare.
Just how it goes when your family
lives in a yurt on the beach.
Well, it is hard to relax around Cleany Thunderman.
I'm cleaning because Cherry is coming to visit this weekend.
Cherry's my bestie and she's the best person ever
and thus she deserves the best.
Including responsible coaster usage.
Thanks! I'll be sure not to use that.
Phoebe, your friend Cherry sounds great,
but she's not the best person ever.
That would be Nana Jinx!
Yeah, she has 26 cats
and a sweet mustache!
I gotta admit, she sounds better than Cherry.
I should get going.
I have to jellyfish-proof my yurt.
Again!
What stops jellyfish?
Their only natural enemy:
peanut butter.
You sound stressed, Booch.
Maybe you and Chloe could join me and Cherry for girls' night.
We're going to a high-tech spa.
I don't really do high-tech.
They have massage chairs.
The Booch is in!
Yeah, yeah, you should all go.
That way I can have my nice,
relaxing guys' night on the couch alone.
Ow!
- Ugh! - Ah! There's my spiky brush.
See you tonight! Come on, Jinx.
Ooh, can we go to my Nana's?
She just adopted 12 more cats.
Phoebe, since when has Cherry cared
about how fluffy our pillows are?
I just want to make things special.
Cherry was so excited when we gave her
sparkle power to help the T-Force,
then the Hero League made her get it removed
and I haven't seen her since.
Don't you video chat like all the time?
I haven't hugged her since.
Don't you guys hug on the phone?
Yes. The point is...
It might have been hard for Cherry to give up her powers,
so I just want to make this visit perfect.
It's what you do for a bestie.
There she is now!
- Bestie! - Bestie!
Barfy.
It's so good to see you!
Chloe!
You look taller, baby!
I don't do that anymore.
Got it, baby!
Ooh. Maybe it's my thing now.
And, uh, Max.
- We doing hugs? - No!
Then I'll hug myself.
Bring it in, Cherry.
Wow, seems like she's handling the no-powers life
better than expected.
Sparkle selfie!
'Cause she still has her power.
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.
Don't worry, guys!
I'm sure Cherry has a very good explanation
for why she never got her powers removed.
Go on, Cherry. Give them your very good explanation.
Well, I searched for Hero League,
but then the phone map took me to League of Heroes,
an adorable sandwich shop.
There you go.
Classic sandwich shop switcheroo.
So, you're fine breaking the rules?
Who are you? Max?
I just didn't think
it was that big a deal to keep my sparkles.
They're harmless.
Guys, the rules are clear.
If you're not a trained supe,
it's not safe to have powers.
Ugh, who am I? Phoebe?
Max is correct!
Exactly! Not safe!
Sorry, you didn't tell me
you had a fancy ghost butler.
'Ello, guv'nah!
If Booch sees Cherry use her powers at the spa,
it'll blow up our lives like that pillow!
Don't.
Hey, I trust Cherry. She's practically family.
And come on, it's not like she's parading her power around.
Okay, that is similar to a parade.
Thunderford, what's the best way to take someone's powers?
The Super Undooper Power Removal Wand.
Ordering now and using Phoebe's credit card
as Max instructed.
Thanks, Thunderford.
It will be delivered today,
accompanied by Max's nightlight for scared grown-ups.
Shh! That order was between us!
Welcome to ze Bunny Bistro,
where guys' night is on the menu!
I'm not hungry.
But I am weirded out.
What else is on the menu, you ask?
A six-course meal where each dish represents
an era of our friendship.
Villainous Duo,
Roomies, Besties, 1989,
Fearless, and Reputation.
This is all our eras.
The dress code is fancy casual, so be sure to wear a tux.
Better idea: Instead of a six-course meal and a tux,
how about a frozen pizza and no way?
We can do something else.
Like spray paint the moon.
Can't we just chill and play video games?
Sure, if you want to break my tiny bunny heart!
Yeah, I'm good with that.
Presenting...
my Cherr-cuterie board!
Get it? It's a charcuterie board that looks like your face.
It's the Cherr-cutiest!
So, what else is new with you?
Aside from secretly keeping my power,
mm, not much!
Oh. I got a pet bird,
but then found out it was just a fluffy tennis ball.
Ooh! And I learned how to do a cartwheel!
Yeah, you did!
Special delivery from the Postman!
They deliver super devices in the regular mail?
No, the Postman is a superhero.
He delivers packages super fast,
but his aim has been loopy lately.
Thanks, Postman!
Okay.
So, this is the Super Undooper.
The device that's supposed to steal my powers.
It's more like you're giving back the power you borrowed.
Like a library book.
You're supposed to give those back?
One problem at a time.
Alright, let's get started.
So, it's so long, sparkle hands,
and back to old regular hands.
Hey, Cherry.
It kind of seems like you maybe sort of missed
your Hero League appointment on purpose?
Maybe 'cause I did.
What gave it away?
Oh, you know.
Your face and your words.
And your face.
I guess I just miss you
since you moved, and having powers like you
helped make me feel like we're still close.
Oh, come on. We're as close as ever,
even if we can't meet up at Splatburger to talk or hug
or check each other's teeth for salad.
- Salad-free, by the way. - Thanks.
And yeah, sure, it would have been fun
to enjoy your sparkle powers together
before you had to get rid of them,
but we missed that chance...
'cause I'm so far away.
Unless...
Unless I wait till the end of this visit to take them back?
You could do that?
Well...
Yeah! Sure! Why not?
It's only a few extra days, and no one will know.
Just as long as you don't use your sparkles in front of Booch.
- Deal! - Okay.
While we're alone,
can I show you a new trick?
I combine two sparkles to form...
a super sparkle.
Yeah, let's not do that again.
Come on, Cherry!
