Why You Buggin'?

I've got thunder hunger.

Ooh, oatmeal.

- Uh, no, Max, that's not--

- Walnuts that Chloe chewed up and spit out.

Because it's fun.

- Just for that, I'm taking your toast.

Not cool, dude.

Ha, ha, ha.

That is another good sports joke and/or reference.

- I'm practicing my "sports guy" talk.

Link is coming by with his best friend Quinn from Metroburg,

and I really wanna make a good impression.

- Ah, I'm sure you've got nothin' to worry about.

- Aw, thanks. - Anyone who likes Link

has very low standards in friends.

Chloe!

Ow!

Thank you!

Alert! Alert!

Link and Quinn approaching.

- Phoebe, this is my friend Quinn.

Uh...

Quinn's a girl.

Yes, I see that.

*

* 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

- Quinn, it's so nice to finally meet you.

Can I get you anything to girl

No, I'm fine.

Yes, you are.

I'm Max.

Uh, sorry we're late.

Quinn made us help a family of ducks cross the road.

And I'm out.

- It's so cool to meet your friends, Linky.

Aw...

I'm sorry, did you just call him "Linky"?

- Oh, that's Quinn's nickname for me.

- It's not as good as your nickname

for me when we were kids.

Quinny-boo-bear!

- What about that cute nickname you have for me?

I call you "Phoebe."

Stop, I'm blushing.

- Excuse me, I have to call my aunt

and let her know I got here safely.

So...

Ta-da!

- You and I have our six month anniversary this week.

- Oh, and you have a best friend who's a girl!

You know, it's funny.

I never quite think of Quinn as a girl.

We became best friends

because we were both nice kids raised by supervillains.

Our parents called themselves "The Frightening Four."

- Wait a minute, her parents are Insecto and Beetle Girl?

- Well, yes, but I call them Mr. and Mrs. Murphy.

They were the bug freaks

who attacked the Metroburg Mango Festival.

- Yeah, they go crazy around mangoes.

But, luckily, your dad thought fast

and hosed 'em down with some hot sauce.

Well, good thing Thunderman

never goes anywhere without a tank of hot sauce.

Off to check the mail!

- Well, anyway, Quinn's not like her parents at all.

No bug powers and as nice as can be.

Yeah, she seems great.

- See, that's why I like you so much.

Not a jealous bone in your body.

- Not me. All my bones are perfectly cool.

Ha! That should be my new nickname--

Coolbones!

- Oh, my goodness. I am so sorry.

Link, could you get me a broom?

- It's okay. It's just a silly little birdhouse.

Let me help you. - Thanks.

Oh, and by the way...

this birdhouse isn't the only thing

I'll be breaking apart while I'm here.

- Link and I belong together...

and the only thing in our way is you.

I've got the broom.

- Oh, Phoebe says she'll finish up.

Uh, we have to go, Linky.

My aunt is waiting for me. - Oh, okay.

Uh, Phoebe, come with us

to Scrunchies' for ice cream tomorrow?

Yeah, Phoebe, come with.

Great. Great.

See ya then, Coolbones.

- Billy, Nora, do you know why we asked you up here?

- I admit it! I drank Mom's shampoo!

It just looked so green and refreshing.

- It's true. You've gotta see the video.

- Okay, we'll talk about that later.

But, first, we wanna thank you

for being so great about sharing a room

ever since we put Chloe in Billy's old room.

- And as a reward, we worked all day

and redesigned your room.

No way! Whoa!

- This is the coolest room ever!

- I call the bed that says "Billy"!

We're glad you like it.

Come on, Chloe, it's time for your nap.

I wanna nap here.

- Don't you wanna nap in your room?

There's a monster.

Sweetie?

- Dad, let us handle this--kid-to-kid.

- Chloe, we used to be in your shoes.

Seriously, those used to be my shoes.

But take it from us,

there's no such thing as monsters.

- Never has been. - Never will be.

Except the huggy monster!

Billy drank shampoo!

- Is it something you can use as a weapon?

No.

'Cause I once crippled a guy with an onion ring.

- Max, I need to talk to you.

- Quick, get me an onion ring!

- Remember Link's friend Quinn?

It turns out she's some sort of crazy mean girl.

She totally hates me.

- Still waitin' on the crazy part.

I'm serious, Max.

She even threatened to break up me and Link.

She made a heart with her hands,

and then went like this...

Look, Phoebe, even if it's true,

why are you telling me? Tell Link.

- That's the problem. I can't.

He'll just think I'm a jealous girlfriend.

And that's not how Coolbones rolls.

- Seriously, get me an onion ring!

- But if he sees her being mean to me again,

he'll know she's bad news.

And since you're always mean to me,

I thought you could help get the ball rolling.

- Look, Phoebe, I'd love to help you, but...

I'm just kidding. I'd hate to help you.

- So, you'd rather glue cards to your head

than help your sister?

Thanks a lot.

- Finally! Now, back to the game.

- He's a horse and you're a pineapple.

Oh, come on! Hater!

*

Nora!

Look, free bows!

- I think there's a monster under my bed.

- First of all-- never joke about bows!

Second of all-- don't be ridiculous.

I'm serious.

I heard a really weird noise.

- Me, too, and it won't stop talking to me.

I'm scared.

Come on.

We'll check under your bed together.

Thank you.

One, two, three.

You see? Nothing.

Monster!

Hot sauce monster!

- It is the middle of the night.

What are you two doing?

Trying to survive!

- There's a monster under my bed.

Nice try, you two.

I heard you telling Chloe you don't believe in monsters.

You're just staying up late, goofing off.

Now go back to bed. But, Dad, there's--

- * La La La La La La Goodnight.

- Are we gonna sleep here tonight?

- This is our dream bedroom, Billy.

What do you think?

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

*

- Hey, Max, thanks for coming.

I'm not here for you.

I just have an inexplicable craving

for Rocky Road ice cream.
