Thunder in Paradise

¶

- Guys, get excited! We're about to watch the news.

News? Bo-ring!

- Oh, Chloe, it's the Metroburg Super News.

Max and I were interviewed about the Z Force

by Anderson Super.

- Anderson only has the best supes on the show.

He even got to interview our favorite hero.

- I don't remember being on his show.

'Cause you never were.

I'm talking about a kid hero named Pause Girl.

- She stops time and pranks people

by drawing moustaches on them.

- Oh. I can see how that's more important

than saving the world 346 times.

Connecting to the Metroburg

News Network. - Ooh, it's starting.

- Being on TV is so exciting.

I'll try not to let it go to my head.

- Family, do not make eye contact with me,

unless you wanna catch greatness, okay?

Max, not so much.

Hello, Metroburg.

Tonight, we profile two heroes

vying for a spot on the legendary Z Force--

twins Max and Phoebe Thunderman.

But the wrinkle in this cape

is that one of them used to be evil.

I spoke to Max Thunderman in his home lair.

- What's he talking about, Max?

We shot that interview together in the driveway.

- Yeah, but then I made Anderson re-shoot it

because your part was...

boring!

Told ya.

What...?

Max, it is a pleasure

to finally meet the man behind the swoosh.

- Please, I'm just a regular gu--

Hi, Mom!

Look, I'm on TV!

- Now, Max, you've gone from being Dark Mayhem's lap dog

to possibly saving the world with the Z Force.

- I don't know about lap dog, I mean--

But the question remains--

is there anyone you'd like to thank

for helping you become the hero you are today?

- Yes, there is. Someone very important.

Someone who was always there for me, during my evil phase.

- Aw, Max.

- The person I wanna thank is...

myself!

Are you for real?

I guess that was rude.

I should have thanked Colosso.

- I meant me!

Why would I thank you?

- Because I spent my whole life

cleaning up your evil messes.

If it weren't for me,

you and your swoosh would be rotting in SuperJail.

- First of all, my swoosh thrives in confined spaces.

And, second, I don't-- - Can you two zip it?

Anderson said he had a special announcement.

And while we're on the topic of the Thundermans,

the Supe Awards are coming up,

and I've just heard that

the Platinum Cape Lifetime Achievement Award

will be given to...

Thunder Man and Electress.

Ha, ha, hey!

Yay, Mommy and Daddy!

What's wrong, Max?

Bummed you didn't get nominated for SuperJerk of the Year?

No!

I...just...uh...

Don't follow me!

- Well, now I have to follow him.

- Hank, the awards are this weekend,

and I have nothing to wear.

Me, neither.

Let's go shopping, baby.

- Ooh, sweetie, you're too little

to come to the awards with the rest of the family.

You'll have to stay home with a babysitter.

- Okay. But I'm still going shopping.

Was that my credit card?

- Hey, Dad, um, can we stay home with Chloe?

We can't handle sitting through another long awards show.

- Yeah, it's like you guys win an award every other week.

- Come on. We haven't won that many.

- Tell that to your trophy shelf.

- Look, honey, it buckled under the weight of our awesomeness.

- Well, I guess if you really don't wanna come,

we won't force you.

You can stay home with Chloe and the babysitter.

- Thanks. Come on, Billy.

- You guys were champion Flamenco dancers?

Still are.

- Hit it, thunder monitor.

You had to ask.

- I really messed up this time, Colosso.

- Relax. You'll be fine as long as Phoebe never finds out.

- As long as I never find out what?

- You told her not to follow you again, didn't ya?

You acted all weird

when Anderson Super announced mom and dad's award.

Tell me why or I'll do this...

- Ow! My ear! You know I have sensitive lobes.

Spill it! - Okay, fine!

Okay, the reason I got weird is because

I remembered that when I was evil,

I set a mega stink bomb to go off

during this year's Supe Awards.

- What? How could you forget that?

- I had a lot of villainous plans going on back then,

and I couldn't afford an evil assistant.

- You shoulda told me. I woulda lent ya mine.

Teddy! Pick up my sailor suit from the dry cleaners!

- Okay, okay, how bad of a stink bomb are we talking here?

Like rotten eggs or wet dog?

- Rotten eggs wrapped in wet dog,

stuffed with moldy cheese and dipped in hot sewage.

Everyone in that place will stink for years to come.

- Max, if the Z Force finds out about this,

we will never get in.

What are we gonna do?

- Teddy, order me a kiss-the- Z Force-goodbye muffin basket.

What? It's totally for someone else.

¶ What you see ¶

¶ Is not what you get ¶

¶ Livin' our lives with a secret ¶

¶ We fit right in ¶

¶ Bet you never guessed ¶

¶ 'Cause we're livin' our lives ¶

¶ Just like all the rest ¶

¶ A picture perfect family ¶

¶ Is what we try to be ¶

¶ Look 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 ¶

¶ Livin' a double life ¶¶

Keep looking.

Without those designs, we can't disable the stink bomb.

- The Supe Awards are tonight

and the only stinky thing I found

is Colosso's dance unitard.

- Hey, hands off my sparkly diaper.

- I can't remember where I put them.

You know, when I became good,

I had to sweep a lot of my evil past under the rug.

- Well, did you look under the rug?

- Phoebe, that'd be way too obvious.

- Oh, hey, look what I found.

Amazing. Even when you're good,

I'm still cleaning up your evil messes.

And your bunny's messes.

Buy a tiny hamper!

- Oh, no! I built it with a ThunderTanium casing.

The only thing that can disable it is an electro-plasma blast.

Okay, so make one.

She thinks you can just make one.

Wait! Can you make one?

- I don't have anything capable

of generating that type of energy--

unless you have some super- powerful weapons lying around.

- Like the ones in the Thundermans'

secret weapons vault.

Thundermans' secret weapons vault?

- Oh, guess we can drop "secret" from the name now.

- All right, kids, we're heading out

to the pre-Supe Awards party.

This is your last chance to come to the show to see us--

We're good.

- Are you sure? Because this award is gonna be really--

We're good.

- Well, I guess we should call that fancy super-sitter

the Hero League got us.

- Yes, they say he's the best in the business.

He's also free.

Now, I've just gotta push this baby monitor and...

- SuperNanny at your service.

- Cool! How'd you do that?

- Monitor travel is one of my babysitting powers.

Others include creating toys

and disinfecting playground equipment--

with my mind.

- Oh, ho, Chloe is gonna love you.

I'll get her.

- Please, allow me to fetch the girl.

Jumpity-bumpity-boom!

Who's up for a bounce?

- Bouncy House!

- Okay. Bye, Chloe. We'll miss you.

She doesn't care. Let's go.

- Thundermans, getting awa-a-a-a-rds!
