                    𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗔 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗𝗡'𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 but glare at the double doors of Hiddenville High. The excitement she had from this morning was now nowhere to be found. It was ditch day for the students of Hiddenville ─ a nonsupe ritual that Cherry had excitedly told the girls about. One, Phoebe of course protested too. However, Olivia had been happy to participate in it until Phoebe brought up Hero University again. 

                                Back in Metroburg, that was a constant thing on Olivia's mind. Now, it felt like a flickering dream. The girl often found joy in the non-superhero things Hiddenville was providing. She still wanted to be a superhero, maybe not as quickly as she thought. 

              Of course, those thoughts were never mentioned to Phoebe. Her best friend was only doing what she thought was best, even if that meant an hour on the phone full of reprimanding and explaining how they just had to do things to get into the University at the same time.

                    "What are you doing here?" Max questioned as he approached the glaring girl. "Thought you were going to giggle at the mall with Cherry," He had overheard their plans as they passed by in the hallway.

          Olivia turned her glare to the boy. "I was, but your sister is really good at making points and guilt-tripping," She answered honestly.

"Don't I know it," Max nodded.

                Olivia's glare turned into one of confusion. "Why are you here? I thought you were going to go skateboard," 

                     "Too many absences. If I get one more, I have to go to summer school," Max rolled his eyes. Olivia only nodded before finally biting the bullet and opening the school door. Max followed her down the vacant halls, not even teachers were there. Olivia was sure they were off relaxing and enjoying their day. 

                              Olivia made her way into the classroom where the students that had decided to not participate in skip day would be and was not surprised to see it was only Phoebe. The girl looked up curiously before smiling at her best friend. 

           "I knew my speech would work," She smiled as Olivia sat down next to her. Phoebe's smile fell when she saw her twin brother walk in behind her friend. 

                      "Oh, thanks. I'll take that," Max said taking a pillow Phoebe had pulled out from her grasp. "For my bruised butt," He angrily sat down. 

              "What are you doing here? I thought you were ditching?" Phoebe asked her brother. 

                      "So did I until I double-checked my skip days and realized that if I get one more absence, I have to go to summer school," He explained again this time to Phoebe. "I can't go to summer school. I can barely make it through winter school,"

          Phoebe shook her head and looked around. "Do you see how empty this place is? I thought there would at least be teachers here. It's kinda creepy,"

                    Olivia who had begun doodling in her notebook spoke up. "I swear, I saw a tumbleweed pass by in the hallway,"

                           Soft singing came from behind them as the only teacher in the school entered the classroom. She paid no mind to the three teens as she began to open the windows. 

           "No, that's creepy," Max said. The teacher finally realized their presence as he startled her. 

       "Cheese and crackers, you scared me!" Ms. Williams grabbed her chest. "What are you three doing here?"

                    "I'm here because I want perfect attendance, I can't speak for him but if I did it would sound like —" Phoebe began making some incoherent sounds which were probably what she heard every time Max spoke.

                          "I'm here because I'm a people pleaser — I'm working on it," Olivia answered honestly with a shrug.

                Ms. Williams smiled at the three. "Well, this is a treat. I was going to spend the day looking at pictures of my birds, but since you're here we can all look at pictures of my birds," She said excitedly. 

         "Actually, Ms. Williams, as the school's secretary you could just mark us here for the day and we can all leave," Max suggested. Olivia nodded with a smile agreeing with him. 

                     "Oh, heavens no. If I let you go and you get mowed by a bus, that's on me," She said before turning back to the picture book of her birds. "Now, this little troublemaker's name is Canary Underwood," She leaned forward to show the teens the picture. The three only looked at each other. 

                             Time passed as Ms. Williams continued to show them picture after picture. Olivia didn't understand how one person could have so many birds. Her chin rested in her hand as she listened to their teacher go on and on about them.

                   "That's it," Max mumbled and shook his head. "I can't take this anymore," He continued before using his freeze breath to freeze Ms. Williams in place. Olivia made no move to care but Phoebe did. 

"Max, what are you doing?" Phoebe asked. 

                 "Oh, I'm sorry did you want to hear Whipper Willy's wish when he blew out his candles? To get away from her!" He answered dramatically. 

                         "You can't just go around freezing people. We could get discovered," Phoebe sighed before unfreezing the woman. 

               "And here's Whipper Willy's last birthday. Birds can live until they're 80, well you'll see —" Ms. Williams continued. 

                      "No we won't," Phoebe said using her freeze breath like her brother had to get the lady to stop talking. 

             "Nice freeze, Pheebs. So what do you guys want to do?" Max asked the two. 

                          "I'm just gonna sit here and have a little Phoebe time," Phoebe said holding up her magazine with a smile. 

                     Olivia finally got up to stretch her legs. "I'm going to the science lab, I want to check on the plants we're growing," Of course, Olivia was excelling at their little plant project they were doing but Cherry's had looked a little sad, so she wanted to check on hers. 

                Max groaned. "Oh, come on. The school's empty. Let's go have some fun. We never have any fun," He tried to encourage the girls.

                     "We had fun that week your mouth was wired shut," Phoebe said and Olivia couldn't help but chuckle. "Just go ahead, I'm good here," 

                   "Fine, have fun sitting on a chicken all day long," Max sighed giving up. Olivia followed him out before turning down the hallway not worried about what he was going to get up to. 

                           Olivia entered the science lab smiling as she approached her plant. The marigold had yet to bloom but it just looked like it was close to budding. Sometimes her own powers amazed her, ever since she was born she could feel the energy of the earth, and though the plants never spoke actually words to her she could just feel how they felt. 

                  She could feel her marigold happily waiting to bloom. Unfortunately, she could feel Cherry's sad sunflower struggling. Olivia had told Cherry to pick that one because they were one of the easiest to take care of, and yet for some reason, Cherry still struggled. 

                            Olivia sighed before approaching the sad potted plant that had barely grown before looking around the room, and seeing it completely empty, of course. Max and Phoebe had already frozen their teacher so she shrugged before holding her hand up. She watched as the stem finally broke through the surface of the soil with a smile. Olivia stopped at a height that wouldn't be too suspicious, Cherry would simply just be amazed at the growth spurt and happy with herself. 

                  Another smile graced her lips at her work before something cold hit her back making her swiftly turn around in shock. Max, to no one's surprise, stood there with a smirk before running off. Olivia followed him back to the classroom where Phoebe still sat. 

             His plans to annoy the two girls into doing something fun was working, as he danced around the door laughing a distracting Phoebe. He finally gave her the same fate as Olivia when he threw a snowball at her and ran off. 

                      Olivia heard Phoebe angrily stand up, she followed her friend into the main hallway to find Max. The boy was leaning on the water fountain, the usual smirk plastered on his face, as he had another snowball ready in hand. 

              "A snowball in school? How did he do it?" He boasted before pressing on the water fountain and using his freeze breath to create snowballs out of the water. 

                          "Max, you've gotta watch out. Someone might see you using your powers," Phoebe reprimanded again. 

                   "There's no one here," He argued. "Which is a real shame 'cause they're missing this," He threw another snowball at Phoebe, the ice ricocheting off of her and also hitting Olivia. 

               Phoebe sighed angrily. "You wanna have fun, Max?" Phoebe asked the rhetorical question before making her way into the bathroom. "How's this for fun?" Phoebe asked throwing a snowball of her own. 

                       Olivia couldn't help but laugh and accept the snowballs her best friend had thrust into her hands.

"Wow, nice shot," Max nodded. 

"Thank you," Phoebe smiled. 

"Me next!" Olivia said excitedly. 

                         "Not a chance," Max said before throwing more snowballs. 

                     All their cares slipped away as the snowball fight commenced, each getting in a couple of good shots. More so when they used their powers. Though Olivia had the disadvantage of running out of snowballs quicker she still used her powers to trip her friends every chance she got, and used, what Max called a pollen rocket, to make him have a sneeze attack. A power she found hilarious. 

                             The three finally sat on the steps of the school. Her two friends laughed as she laid down in the excess snow they created and moved her arms absentmindedly to create the faint outline of a snow angel. 

               "Have your pollen rockets gotten stronger?" Max said turning to look down at Olivia. "I swear I can still feel it up my nose," Max sniffled before rubbing his nose.

                         Olivia sat up with a laugh. "Hey, you deserved those," She argued remembering the few times he had gotten her right in the face with the snowballs.

             "Hey, you didn't make your snowballs out of toilet water did you?" Max turned to his twin. 

                           "Just this one," Phoebe smiled before pulling out the last snowball and throwing it at Max's face. Phoebe took out her phone as her brother wiped the snow from his eyes. "Smile!"

"Do not post that," Max said. 

                       "Really? Don't post this where everyone can see us using our powers?" Phoebe asked sarcastically.

               "That and I told everyone you weren't my sister," Max added. Phoebe shook her head. "Hey wasn't today apple pie day?" Max asked the two. 

           Olivia sat up straighter at the mention of the dessert. Phoebe however scoffed. "Please, I am not going to break into the cafeteria, and steal —"

"They have ice cream," Max added.

                      "Race ya there!" Phoebe shouted before taking off. Olivia laughed caught up in her joy also getting up and running to the cafeteria. If only the teens had noticed the camera sooner.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

                         𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗠𝗢𝗢𝗗 carried on, the three found themselves in Max's room looking at the pictures from their snowball fight earlier that day. Photos of themselves covered in snow made them laugh. The laughter was disrupted when Billy and Nora slid down the slide and landed on Max's bed. Billy was first and then Nora who landed on him with a thud. 

                   Nora lifted her head up to look at the three. "Wait why are you guys hanging out?" She questioned seeing as Phoebe and Max weren't arguing. 

"Yeah, and not fighting?" Billy added. 

                "You see it too?" Colosso asked. "Good. I thought I was losing it,"

"We actually had fun today," Phoebe explained. 

           "A day without any arguing, it was amazing," Olivia added excitedly.

                     Max nodded. "Yeah, turns out if no one else is at school, Phoebe is all right,"

         Phoebe rolled her eyes. "Anyhow, we were getting along. Look," Phoebe turned the monitor they were using to show Billy and Nora the picture of Max they had been laughing at. 

                   "Snow? In school? No way!" Billy said taking out his phone and snapping a picture. "Pic pic," He said.

"A pic pic?" Nora turned to him confused. 

             "Yeah, it's a picture of a picture," Billy explained as if it were obvious. 

"That's not a thing," Nora said. 

                      "Then how did I just do it?" Billy sassed. 

              Nora rolled her eyes before turning back to look at the picture of Max. She squinted slightly at something. "What's that, up there on the wall?"

                     "Yeah Max, what is that?" Phoebe asked. The three teens leaned in as Max zoomed into the picture and the school's security camera came into frame.

           "Is that?" Olivia asked her eyes going wide. 

"It is," Max answered. 

"A security camera," Phoebe said worriedly.

               "The school got a pic pic of you?" Billy asked. "See Nora it's catching on,"

                        Phoebe ignored her younger brother as she sighed and began pacing around Max's room. "No, this is bad. This is really really bad. You see this is what happens when I have fun with you," She complained, pointing to Max.

              Max stood up from his desk chair. "Okay, everyone just relax. Yes, the camera caught us using our superpowers, but this is an easy fix, all right? We just break into the school—"

                        "Break into the school?" Phoebe questioned as Max typed away on his laptop. Olivia moved from her spot to look over his shoulder. 

               "Look, the school records say that the security footage is kept in the principal's office," Max informed them. 

                       "Oh, so now we're also breaking into the principal's office?" Phoebe asked. 

             "Fun, right?" Max smirked at the two girls who did not share his excitement. 

                   "Yeah!" Billy and Nora cheered at the same time. 

"No, not fun," Phoebe said in a panic. 

                "I miss snowball Phoebe," Max patted Phoebe's shoulder. "Look, these are simple hard drives and we're going to erase them with this baby," Max grabbed a box off his desk before opening it and pulling out one of his gadgets. 

                       "What's that? A magic wand?" Nora asked.

"I'm not a magician," Max scoffed. 

            Nora leaned in to try to whisper into Billy's ear. "That's exactly what a magician would say," Billy nodded in agreement. 

                      "It's a degausser magnet and we're going to use it to erase the security footage in the principal's office," Max explained.

                 "Sounds like a heist, we want it," Nora smiled at the three teens. 

                         "Me too, I'll take out the guards," Colosso added.

              "Woah, Woah, Woah. No one's taking out anyone," Phoebe held her hand up to Colosso before turning to her younger siblings. "We don't need your help,"

                        "But we're Superheroes," Nora looked up at the three. "We need action. Billy is getting soft," She gestured to her brother. They all looked over to see Billy rubbing his hands together.

                          "Max, where did you get this moisturizer?" He asked, amazed by the feeling of his soft hands.

"That's my scab ointment," Colosso answered.

Billy was unfazed. "Whatever it is, it's fantastic,"

                   "Look, if you guys wanna help, you can just cover for us," Max told Nora. "Tell mom and dad we're going to the mall," Olivia didn't have to worry much with her excuse to her parents knowing they would believe her and she had no siblings to rat her out. 

                        "Oh, mom and dad! Can I take them out?" Calosso asked excitedly. 

                "No!" Phoebe said. "You have got to get that rabbit under control," Phoebe told her twin before the three of them made their way out of the house to fix their mistake. 

                           Nora was right about it being a heist, considering Max insisted they all change into all-black clothing. After the three made their pitstop and were finally dressed like they were ready to rob a bank they found their way to the school. 

                             Max set his tools down as he prepared to try to unlock the door. Phoebe and Olivia were the lookouts. 

                "This goes against everything I believe in," Max sighed.

"Breaking in?" Phoebe asked.

          "No going to school twice in one day," He said before getting back to work. "Now, if any of us sense trouble the code word is porcupine," The girls nodded. 

                             "All right, watch and learn," He said taking out a tool for lock picking. "Breaking and entering requires the delicate touch of a surgeon and the technical know-how —"

                   Olivia squinted at where his hand rested on the door handle seeing it moving slightly. The girl grabbed the door handle and opened the school door. Olivia picked up the end of the stethoscope around Max's neck. 

                            "It's unlocked, genius," Olivia said into the stethoscope making Max wince. Phoebe pushed passed Olivia and Max got up to glare at her. 

               "I loosened it for you," Max argued. Olivia rolled her eyes before walking into the school, Max following behind her.

                         "Figured out why the door is open," Phoebe said as the three kids took in the state of their school. People dressed in country western clothes stood chatting in the hallways and country music could be heard coming from the cafeteria. 

      "Country western dancing club?" Max read off the sign that had been put up.  "At our school?"

                 "We gotta get out of here before someone sees us," Phoebe said.

         "Too late," Ms. Williams said making them all turn to look at her. "You three are busted,"

                       "Hedgehog? Uh, opossum? Armadillo?" Phoebe panicked. 

"Porcupine?" Max asked.

                                 "That's the one," Phoebe pointed at Max before turning to Ms. Williams and giving her a smile. Olivia tried to match her friend's smile, trying to not seem suspicious.

                   Ms. Williams walked around the three, sizing them up. "I know exactly why you three are here,"

                     "Okay, so you know our secret just please don't tell anyone. Our parents will be so mad at us," Phoebe begged her.

"For liking a good hoedown?" Ms. Williams asked. 

            "No, for — loving a good hoedown," Phoebe quickly changed her tune using Ms. Williams's question as a way out of the hole they had created. 

                             "Yes, our parents are very anti-hoedown," Max continued. 

               "My dad had a bad hoedown accident," Olivia added. 

                            Ms. Williams nodded. "Well, your secret is safe with me," She smiled at them. "Let's go get you kids some duds," She said excitedly pushing them down the hall.

"Yeehaw," Max said unenthusiastically. 

                       "I think I liked her better as crazy bird lady," Phoebe whispered to the two and Olivia nodded agreeing. The three teens let her lead them down the hall until they stopped right in front of the principal's office. 

       "Wow, you must be very important to have a key to the principal's office," Max commented.

                    "Of course I do. I'm the principal's wingman. Tweet, tweet," Ms. Williams joked. 

           "And she's back," Phoebe sighed. Ms. Williams paid no attention as she opened the door and flipped on the lights. The three looked around the room searching for the school's secret footage they needed to erase. 

                         "Hey, there it is," Olivia did her best to whisper to the two once she spotted the system they were trying to get their hands on.

                                      Max nodded and reached into his backpack to pull out the box with the degausser. "Now, we just need to erase the hard drive,"

               "Here you go, duds," Ms. Williams turned back around her arms full of clothes. Phoebe quickly hid the box behind her back. Ms. Williams placed the clothes in Max's arms as they looked over their choices. 

                       "Ohhh, duds are clothes," Phoebe said grabbing a cowboy hat.

                  "Hurry on out, no one is supposed to be here," Ms. Williams rushed them out of the principal's office. The three sighed following her out. They could only watch sadly as she locked the office back up before they even got the chance to erase the footage. 

       "See ya on the dance floor," Ms. Williams smiled at them before she left to go to the cafeteria. 

"So close," Phoebe said once she was gone.

                           "Are you kidding? We got this," Max encouraged. "We just melt the lock with our heat breath and erase the security footage,"

                     Phoebe shook her head. "No way, our powers got us into this mess in the first place, we need that key,"

Olivia nodded. "She's right, Max,"

"And how do we get that?" Max asked the two. 

        "We dance, Max," Phoebe picked up a cowboy hat and put it on Max's head. "We dance,"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

                          𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗔 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗𝗡'𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 the laugh that escaped her when she saw Max in his hoedown outfit. The girl had just exited the ladies' room. Sure, she was wearing some boots and a cowboy hat of her own but Olivia thought she and Phoebe looked cute. Max's red shirt was really throwing her off.

                         "You look ridiculous," Olivia smiled pulling out her phone to grab a quick picture. "Billy is so going to want a pic pic of this," Olivia commented looking over the photo. 

                 Phoebe made her way out of the bathroom. "You guys ready?" The two nodded to her before they all made their way to the cafeteria, and the sound of country western music could still be heard. 

                           The three took a look around to see not only Ms. Williams but many teachers they all recognized line dancing. 

"Could this get any worse?" Max asked. 

                   "It's about to," Phoebe smiled at him. "Ms. Williams, Max wants to dance with you!" She called out before he could protest. 

                         "You're on partner!" Ms. Williams yelled excitedly before making her way over to the three. Olivia pushed Max forward as Ms. Williams looped her arms with Max. 

                "What are you doing?" Max asked as he was dragged out to the dance floor. 

                         "Trust me I have an idea," Phoebe told him before she ran off. 

                   Max looked to Olivia who only shrugged. Olivia thought she had gotten out of having to hoedown but Max reached out before Ms. Williams could drag him too far bringing the girl into the line dance with him. 

                           Olivia glared before they saw Phoebe get up on stage and grab the microphone. "Howdy, everybody!" Phoebe greeted in a country accent. "Let's put a little up in your giddy-up and scoot, boogie to the latest moves!"

                                The country western club cheered as she pressed the buttons on the music box. "So grab your partner do-si-do, round and round, and here we go," Phoebe instructed. Olivia followed her orders dancing with the closest person next to her.

                         "Chicken in the outhouse ten feet wide step to the left and do the slide," Phoebe continued as they all followed her steps. "Now raise your hands up in the air and walk them boots to the country fair,"

                  Olivia and Max exchanged confused glances still doing as instructed but both wondering how this dance was going to help them get into the principal's office.

                            "Swing your partner round and round, take your keys and throw them down," Phoebe said. Everyone looked confused but still followed her orders.

                    "I love these hip new dance moves!" Ms. Williams said throwing her key ring with the keys they needed on the ground.

                              "Flap your elbows, slap your thighs, fox in the hen house cover your eyes," She continued. Olivia was caught up in the dance and followed her instructions. Phoebe covered the microphone. "Not you, Max," Phoebe whispered. 

                      Olivia uncovered her eyes to see Max pick up the keys off the ground and throw them to Phoebe who hid them behind her back. "Well, everybody it's been fun sorry to say but this gal's done," Phoebe finally signed off when they got exactly what they needed.

                   They all cheered for Phoebe and the three tried to make a run for it to get to the principal's office.

                         "Oh, not so fast twinkle toes," Ms. Williams caught up to Max grabbing his arm and dragging him back to the dance floor.

"What do I do?" Max asked the girls.

"Let her lead," Phoebe laughed. 

                                   Max reached out to grab Olivia again but she was quick to pull her arm away. "No way, you're on your own, Partner," Olivia told the boy as he got dragged back into dancing and she went to go catch up with Phoebe to help her with erasing the footage.

                      "You are good, Phoebe Thunderman," Phoebe complimented herself as she switched the lights on in the principal's office. 

                        "Honestly, if this whole superhero thing doesn't work out I think we found your backup plan," Olivia joked. 

              Phoebe chuckled before taking out the box with the degausser and setting it on the desk. "Now all we need to do is wave the degau—" She paused once she opened the box a picture in the place where the gadget was supposed to be. 

                           Phoebe picked up the photo to see her two younger siblings holding the gadget they needed. "Nora," Phoebe said frustratedly. Phoebe quickly pulled out her phone to call Nora.

"Hello, Pheebs, what's the haps?" Nora asked calmly. 

                       "You know very well what the haps is. We need that degausser," Phoebe said. 

"No, you need us," Nora taunted. 

"Just bring it here," Phoebe begged. 

"Say you need us," Nora challenged.

                      Olivia rolled her eyes. "Just say it, Phoebe," She told her friend not knowing how much time they had. 

              Phoebe sighed. "I need you," Phoebe said sarcastically.

                   "Now without the attitude, and since Livvy is there she should say it too," Nora added. 

"Nora!" Phoebe and Olivia said frustratedly.

                            "On our way," Nora said quickly before hanging up. The two girls could do nothing but pace back and forth as they waited for the two. Well, Phoebe paced and Olivia was thanking whoever was up there that she was an only child. 

                   Nora and Billy finally zoomed into the principal's office. 

            "Sorry we're late," Nora said as she got off her brother's back and took her helmet off. "Someone stopped for chocolate milk," Nora looked to Billy who sheepishly wiped off his chocolate milk mustache. 

                         "Did you bring the degausser?" Phoebe asked. 

                                 "I knew I forgot something," Billy said before zooming back out. He returned in a second with the degausser in one hand and more chocolate milk in the other. Billy smiled at Phoebe and held the chocolate milk out to her. 

                  Phoebe only looked at him confusedly before pointing at his other hand with the gadget she actually needed. Billy switched hands so she could take the degausser from him.

                        "It's just so good!" Billy said complimenting the chocolate milk. The three girls shook their heads before Phoebe moved to the video footage. 

                 "Not so fast," Nora stopped her. "I want to do it,"  Before Phoebe could protest Nora took the degausser from her and began scanning over the video footage. They waited as Nora took her time.

                     "You're a sweet kid, Nora, but step on it!" Phoebe said frustratedly. 

"Don't rush me. I'm savoring the heist," Nora smiled.

                         "Uh, guys. Who's that?" Billy said looking at the security camera to see Ms. Williams walking down the hallway towards the office. 

               "Oh, no we're busted! She's gonna see the tapes and find out we're superheroes! I knew this wouldn't work," Phoebe began to panic. 

"Look, it worked!" Nora cut through. 

"I never had a doubt!" Phoebe corrected. 

                      "Yeah, yeah can we go now?" Olivia tried to rush them, remembering Ms. Williams was right around the corner. 

                             "Pick up the pace!" Phoebe added. They all began to make their way to the door and thought they were home free until a loud clang was heard and they all turned around to see Nora had dropped pencils on the floor. "And the pencils," 

                   The four scrambled to pick up the pencils before they finally made their way out and around the corner against the lockers. Just in time because Ms. Williams made her way around the corner, they watched as she opened the doors and looked around. Max limped in behind her.

                              They made their way behind the open door. Olivia with the keys in her hand caught Max's attention. The girl threw the keys at him and he caught them with ease. Phoebe and Olivia gave him a thumbs up. 

                       Billy and Nora looked around the door too. "We zapped the footage," Billy whispered. Olivia and Phoebe were quick to push the two back not wanting to get into any more trouble today.

                       𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗔, 𝗠𝗔𝗫, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 Phoebe made their way into the Thunderman household. Max had limped the whole way home due to his cowboy boots fitting him wrong and was dramatically leaning on Olivia, who was helping him through the door.

             Though Olivia couldn't stop the raise of her eyebrows when she saw both Hank and her father crying on the couch. She had known her dad was supposed to come over to watch a movie with him but she didn't think The Accidental Dentist would warrant this kind of reaction. 

                            "Woah. What happened here?" Phoebe asked seeing the popcorn on the floor and the two grown men crying.

"Kids. We're getting a cat," Hank sniffled.

                   "But we're allergic," Max said, taking his arm off Olivia's shoulders and standing as straight as he could.

                                 "I don't care," Hank said firmly. Barb, who had been sick all week sneezed loudly from upstairs. "I should check on your mother,"

                        "Wait!" Phoebe called out to stop him. Billy and Nora had appeared at the back door and were close to getting caught. "Before you do that..." Phoebe tried to stall as the two opened the back door. 

              "We have something we need to tell you," Max helped as Billy and Nora snuck inside.

                           "Right, I almost forgot. We just wanted to tell you that...." Phoebe trailed off trying to think of something. "You're a really great dad," Phoebe said as Billy and Nora made it up the stairs and out of sight. Max and Phoebe smiled at their father. 

                       "No, Lieutenant Furball is. And now he's gone," Hank said dramatically with tears still in his eyes. His crying could be heard as he made his way up the stairs.

                  This caused Olivia's dad to let out a sob from his spot on the couch. The three looked at him confusedly. Markus Greenedge blew his nose once more before he stood up from the couch collecting himself. 

                                "I need to talk to your mom. We're getting a cat too," Markus pointed to Olivia dramatically before leaving through the Thundermans side door, also weeping as he left. The three just looked at each other confusedly.

                "And add that to the list of things I want to forget about tonight," Phoebe said.

                     Olivia nodded. "Yeah, there's a lot of things I wanna forget about tonight,"

                           "Come on seriously, you guys had fun," Max smiled at the two. Though their night had been a chaotic mess it sure had been entertaining. 

                 Phoebe sighed. "Yeah, I did. Especially when Olivia took this picture of you dancing with Ms. Williams," Phoebe smiled pulling out her phone to show him. 

                   Max gawked at the embarrassing photo. "Phoebe, give me that right now,"

                         "Not before I post it," Phoebe said before taking off to run up the stairs. 

                    "Phoebe, this is not fun!" Max complained getting up to chase after her. His hurt feet made him slow and he complained the whole way. Olivia laughed along as Phoebe teased him and Max fell up the stairs in pain. 

                             "You know I just have more on my phone, right?" Olivia said finally standing up. Max turned his head to her but she was faster already making her way to the side door as Max changed his course to try to get to her. 

                "Goodnight Thundermans!" Olivia called out with a laugh as she safely got away.
