Ahhhhh.
[ Water boiling ]
Hmm -- 2, 3, 4.
[ Spritz! ]
[ Knock on door ] Huh?
Hey! Hey!
Let's...get...sleepy!
JP: I present to you wieners in the nude.
[ Gasps ] Are those hot dogs?
Two scoops. Two?
JP, you've really gone all out for this sleepover,
especially with the handmade invitations --
beautifully laminated, I might add.
And the save-the-dates before that.
What gives? It's just us.
Well, it's your first time sleepin' over at my house,
and I wanted to make sure you didn't forget. [ Chuckles ]
So, what you thinking for tonight --
make some popcorn and tell spooky stories?
Ooh! How about we play one of those board games
that comes to life and lions run through your house?
Well, we should definitely make sure
to stay up late and watch "SLNL."
What?
"Saturday Late Night Live."
It's a weekly live comedy-sketch show.
It's super funny.
Like, there's this recurring character,
Eric the skateboarding lawyer,
and the law jokes make my sister Laura laugh.
But, boy, oh, boy,
when he destroys evidence by ollieing onto it,
[Chuckles] it is myturn.
Uh, all right. That sounds funny in theory.
Hey, li'l bro.
Looks like I wasn't home in time to save the cheese powder.
Hi, Ms. Mercer![ Softly ] Craig, don't call her that.
She's his sister, not his mom.
Well, I don't know. I've never met his mom.
Oh, yeah. I've never met her, either.
Did anything gnarly happen at the hospital today?
Hmm. Are your friends okay with medical stories?
Do your worst, Nurse.
Okay, so this guy comes in who was mowing his lawn,
but something got stuck in the blades,
so he bent over to reach under the mower, and...
Did he lose his finger?
[ Shakily ] A limb? His head?
He threw out his back.
Aw, that's not bloody.
Why'd he throw out a perfectly good back?
Really wedged in there. [ Grunts ]
Aaaah! Thank you!
All right, kiddos, lights on or off?
What are you guys thinkin'? Are you guys thinkin' off?
I say off. Uh, yeah, off.
Okay.
All: Off, please!
Night, JP.
All right, so, have you guys heard about the aliens
that have been abducting people with tractor beams?
[ Crunch! ]
Aliens, Craig? That's not spooky.
Wha? Did you say tractor beams?[ Blip! ]
[ Blip! ]
Quick! Craig, finish your story.
How did they defeat the aliens?
I don't know that.
Then what was the point of your story?!
No, JP! JP!
No! JP!
JP!JP, don't go! Don't --
[ Bobby panting ]
Bobby, what's going on?
Haven't you heard? It's flashlight tag at the creek.
Did he say...
Both: Flashlight tag?
Ha! We got to go.
Oh, I don't know.
If we're gone too long, we could miss the TV show.
JP, it's flashlight tag.
This is a once-in-a-nighttime opportunity.
Yeah, but, like, you never know
when they're gonna air certain sketches,
so, like, Eric the skateboarding lawyer might come on first,
or it might come on after the musical guest.
Don't worry. I promise we'll be back in time to watch your show.
Mm...o-okay.
[ Chewing ]
Hey, Bobby! [ Choking ]
So, what's going on? Who are we hiding from?
[ Whistle blows ]
The scouts are it, and they're armed
with triple-D-cell, 6,000-lumen, military-grade flashlights.
Huh? Who's there?

Oh, we are children enjoying life!
So -- So, what do you guys say we head back to my house
so we don't miss the TV show?
But I'm just getting warmed up.
I'm ready to duck and dodge and do a handstand dodge.
Oof!
[ Crying in distance ]What?
D-Do you hear that?
[ Gasps ] A baby! A baby in a basket!
It's okay, wittle baby.
Waah! Kelsey's here.
[ Cackles ]
All: Aaaaah!
Tony, posing as a baby? We could've adopted you.
Pah!
I already got a daddy -- the light.
You guys get out of here. I'll put this baby down for a nap.
♪♪
Wah! Hyah!
Whoa! [ Grunts ]
Hyah! Hyah!
Aah!
Ha! Pretty good, but you can't dodge forever.
Get ready for my ultimate move --
Dual Wield!
Raaah-hyah!
Ow!
Hey, that hurt.
You may be a son of the light,
but your glow will never shine on me,
for I am darkness incarnate,
and I will descend upon you like an endless night!
Ha-ha, gotcha.
Ha! Well, you didn't get Mortimer.
Aw, man.
I'm locking you up in tree jail.
This is bad.
Now how are we gonna get back in time to watch the show?
Let's just watch it tomorrow on the Internet or something.
But, Craig, the Internet
is gonna be talking about it tonight!
Okay, we'll just have to save Kelsey super fast, then.
Let's go.
Here is first rule of tree jail.
You must always be touching tree jail.
Always.
That is the end of tree-jail rules.
Pbht! Pbht! Pbht!
There she is, and Boris is guarding her.
Oh, man. How are we gonna tag her free with the eye of Boris watching?
We just have to be stealthy. Follow my lead.
♪♪
[ Thud! ] Oh.
[ Grunts ]
[ Whoosh! ]
[ Thud! ] Oh!
[ Grunts ]
[ Thud! ] Ooh!
[ Both panting ]
How close are we?
Pbht! Pbht!
We're further away?
We don't have time for this. We have to make a break for it.
If we just run out in the open,
we're gonna get shined for sure.
Come on, Craig. You promised.
You promised we'd be back in time to watch the show.
[ Sighs ] Fine. I have an idea.
[ Plop! ]
Huh? What was that noise?
Caw!
[ Grunts ]
[ Snap! ]
Pbht?
Got you!
[ Whispers ] What's going on?
[ Normal voice ] Oh.
Anybody want a malt ball?
Aah! Now is not the time for malt balls, Bobert!
We're missing Eric the skateboarding lawyer!
Ugh, JP, enough about this TV show!
Why do you care so much about it?
Because it's super funny, Craig,
and it makes me laugh even if I'm confused,
and it's the thing I watch when I'm -- when I'm with my mom.
She works late a lot,
and sometimes that's the only time I get to see her.
That's the whole reason I planned this sleepover --
so you guys could finally meet her.
Oh, JP, we had no idea.
Yeah, why didn't you just tell us?
Oh, yeah, right.
Like y'all would want to sleep over if I was like,
"Hey, want to meet my mommy?"
Well, you know you could just say "mom" instead of "mommy."
Want to meet my mom?
Wow, you know, that is so much better.
Ugh, why didn't I think of that?
I'm -- I'm sorry, JP.
I-I ruined your plans, and now we're stuck in jail.
[ Sighs ] You may never see your mom again.
[ Boris crying ]
Beautiful story of family brings tears to Boris' eyes.
[ Sighs ] You are free.
But you can't tag us out of jail.
Then Boris will take jail out of tag.
Stand back!
[ Loud thudding ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Strained ] Ollie, ollie, oxen free!
All: Whoa!
Boris: G-Go! Run! Run to your family!
[ Chuckles ] Good luck, long-headed boy.
[ Grunts ][ Crash! ]
[ All panting ]
Did we miss -- What time is it?
Where is she?
[ Blip! ] [ Gasps ]
More lights? Did Jason follow us home?
[ Glass squeaks ]
[ Gasps ]
Mom!
Oh. You're home.
Hey, there, JP. I'm not late, am I?
No, you're right on time. H-How -- How was your flight?
Ah, a bit of turbulence jumbled up my tum-tum,
but I'm pretty hungry now.Oh, I made dinner.
Did you leave out the cheese?
Of course. Oh, oh, Mom!
I want you to meet my best friends -- Kelsey and Craig.
Wow, talk about surprise special guests.
It's so good to finally meet you.
Both: Nice to meet you, Mrs. Mercer.
I have a bird. His name is Mortimer.
Well, I have a Goo. She's a cat. [ Chuckles ]
Would you three like some souvenirs from my latest trip?
Airplane snacks.
Both: Thank you!
Yes, I love eating airplane food outside of an airplane setting.
And for you, JP...
Oh, a new one?
Uh-huh. Hold out your hands.
Any guesses?
Oh, uh, there's so many.
Go on. Take a look.
Ohio! The birthplace of aviation. Cool!
So, um, Mrs. Mercer, JP tells us that you're a pilot.
Mm-hmm.
What's the coolest thing you've ever flown?
Well, when I was in the Air Force,
I got to land on an aircraft carrier.
Cooooool. Whooooa.
