[ominous music plays]
- [weapon zaps] - [screaming]
Whoa! Cleo!
[beeping]
Unh!
Aaaaaah!
[all screaming]
[electrical crackling]
[coughing, wheezing]
[Mihos chittering]
Again! Hoo-hoo-hoo!
[Khepra] That mission was a complete disaster!
And the one before that was a catastrophe.
And the one before that was a fiasco.
I can't think of one reason
to keep Cleo on the mission to find the Uta tablet--
if there even issuch a thing.
The only evidence we have is that Cleo "had a vision."
But she's the Savior!
I don't care!
She's not the leader we need her to be.
So you can just save your breath.
First, "Savior breath"--
hi-larious.
Second, if you got to know Cleo better,
you'd see her potential.
I'm very disappointed, Khensu.
And unless you want me to yell more,
you'll get out of my sight.
Yes, Administrant.
I have some yelling of my own to do.
Do you have any idea how much yelling I had to endure
over your botched mission?!
Leave Akila and Brian out of it. This is on me.
I am absolutely leaving them out of it!
This is one hundred percent on you!
Akila and Brian, you aren't in any trouble, you may go.
Sorry, Cleo, we'd stick around,
but... we really don't want to.
- Hey! Unhh! - You're the team leader,
so the Council consider the mission yourresponsibility!
And you messed up-- big time.
Everything would have been fine
if that second giraffe hadn't exploded!
Khepra is considering abandoning the search for the Uta tablet
andbreaking up your team.
No! We have to find the Uta.
And I don't wanna lose my team!
What do I do? I know! I know!
I could win her over with my charms.
I suggest you let Khepra cool off.
The best you can hope for is that she forgets you exist.
Solid plan. I'll be virtually invisible-- like Dennis.
- [Dennis] Great idea! - [Cleo and Khensu scream]
Dennis! Ahem. I, uh, didn't see you there.
Thank you.
[device beeps]
Cleopatra, be in my office in one hour.
So much for invisible.
[sighs] Looks like I'm relying on my charms.
Oryou could stick to some carefully crafted talking points.
Let's see. Um...
Khepra enjoys making ceramics, as it calms her,
her favorite color is space yellow,
and she has a surprising phobia of wind.
- [wind gusts] - [Khepra yowls]
That is shockingly specific. How do you know all that?
I don't know anything. That's all super regular stuff to know about someone.
Look over there!
That was weird.
Dennis! I forgot you were there!
Argh. How do you dothat?
You just make your mind a blank.
Who said that?
[energy crackling]
No time for small talk. I gotta make Khepra like me.
[chitters]
[both laughing]
Aw, man. That's a good one.
[laughs]
Wait. Y-You're serious?
But Khepra doesn't like anyone.
I know! Especially not me!
And she does that staring-into-your-soul thing
and it freaks me out!
Help me, Brian.
I have to make Khepra like me,
but I'm crazy nervous around her.
Lucky for you, crazy nervous is my area of expertise.
Yeah, not a cool brag, dude.
Ohhh.
Let me teach you some breathing techniques.
OK, mmmm-shhh.
These exercises help reduce stress.
Like this.
You breathe in... [inhales]...
then blow short, sharp breaths out.
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
[inhales] Hehh! Hehh! Hehh! Hehh!
[blowing short breaths]
[chitters]
Hehh! Hehh! Hehh!
[inhales]
Hehh! Hehh! Hehh!
[chitters]
[sensor buzzes, beeps]
[inhales] Hehh! Hehh! Hehh! Hehh! Hehh!
Are you having a seizure?
I know the mission went funky,
but that lobster man sold me rotten crater cheese!
[inhales] Hehh! Hehh! Hehh! Hehh! Hehh!
I don't want to hear about the mission.
I invited you here so we could get to know one another better.
Um, heh. Heh heh. [gulps]
I invited your best friends to join us
to make you feel more relaxed.
Eh-heh. I am super pumped to hang with the Administrant.
But it worries me that you actually think I'd be Cleo's friend.
Perfect, then.
Shall we discuss it over tea?
- [slurps] - [cricket chirps]
- [Mihos chitters] - [Khepra] Ohh.
This won't do at all. You're not relaxed.
Yes I am!
[inhales] Hehh! Hehh! Hehh! Hehh!
- I'm relaxed! Aaah! - [thud]
Huhh. Huhh. Huhh. Huhh.
If I'm going to get to know you better,
you need to be in your own element.
What do you do for fun?
- Judge people. - Read quietly!
Um... go to the arcade?
That's it. We'll all go to the arcade!
Laaaadies' niiiight! Woot! Woot!
Yes. "Woot woot," indeed.
- Let's get our ladies' night on! - [Callie] Yeah!
[Brian] What a great idea, to have a guys' night
while the girls have their ladies' night.
We can do anything we want!
Ooh! I have some extra-hard math puzzles I could break out!
Khensu, we hardly ever get time to ourselves
when there's no homework...
so math puzzles are a fantastic idea!
- [dismayed chittering] - Mihos?
You're not staying for guys' night?
[gags]
His loss!
[Khensu, Brian scream]
Dennis! I had no idea you were here.
Yup. I brought some snacks!
Unsalted, unbaked potato chips!
So...potato slices.
It's the only thing I'm not allergic to.
Puzzles andpotato slices?
Best night ever!
Can you believe some people say
we don't know how to have fun?
Now, who's up for some room temperature water?
- [Brian] Ooh, me! - [Dennis] Extra room temperature, please!
[upbeat music playing]
[video game noises]
This going to be so much fun.
Ha ha. Who's ready to have fun?
I'm almost ready.
Now I'm ready.
Then let the fun montage--
or "fun-tage"-- begin!
[arcade sounds]
Hehh--ahh!
[grunting]
[buzzer sounds]
- Wanna play doubles? - No, thank you.
I find observation and note-taking veryenjoyable.
Ehhhh... OK.
[slurping noise]
OK, the arcade is famous for their wacky straws.
Super fun, right?
Inefficient and only mildly amusing.
[clears throat]
Ohh!
[sniffs]
Ahh...
Mmm! [chuckles]
Uh...
Oh! Ah! Aww!
Unh! Unh!
How am I supposed to hit these mole-crabs
if they won't stay still?!
Thatis the point of the game!
Ahh! Unh! Ahh!
Frankly, it's unsatisfactory.
I'm going to write a letter to the management of this establishment
detailing my complaints.
[Callie groans, grumbles]
Argh! This is the worst ladies' night ever.
Administrant Buzzkill is, like, zero fun.
No, no. She's actually negativefun.
She is sucking the fun out of the arcade.
Come on, she's not that bad.
Sure, she started off a little stiff,
but now she's... the exact same amount of stiff.
But that doesn't matter. We didn't come here to have fun.
I did! That is literally the only reason I am here.
- Let's ditch her. - [Cleo] I can't.
I have to get Khepra to like me
or she'll abandon the search for the Uta tablet!
Well, I don't need her to like me, so I'm outtie.
Akila, wanna play Boogie Blam 2000?
I don't know. On one hand, I wannago.
On the other-- Nope, I just wanna go.
- You've got this, right, Cleo? - I guess it can't get any worse.
[gasps]
Ohh. For the next activity,
I'd like to propose a brief rest.
Ugh.
- [both giggling] - [Akila] Yes, yes, yes!
- [dance music playing] - [both exclaim]
Cool. We'll just sit here...
in awkward silence...
again.
[clock ticking]
This getting-to-know-you thing isn't going so well, is it?
Maybe we should play another game.
Ooh! How about that one?
The sparring game? I'm not sure it's quite your thing.
Hmm.
Huh?
Uh, I'll do anything
to get out of this uncomfortable eye contact, so let's play!
[upbeat music playing]
[video game beeps]
[beeping]
[video game sound effects]
[game announcer] First round.
Fight now!
All right. Now, to... punch you.
Uhh. Whoops.
[grunting] Ooh.
We really don't have to do this.
But I want to.
Oooh. Oooh.
[Khepra giggling]
You know, this reminds me of simulation training
from when Iwas a student at the Academy.
[Cleo] Youwere at the Academy?
And-- And you did combat training?
Of course! A long time ago.
But I'm sure I'll get the hang of it again.
Huhh! Ohh! Unhh! Whoo! Whoa-ho!
Now hit me.
Yeah, I'm not comfortable doing that.
Hit me. Hit me!
Hit me!
Unhhhh...!
Hyuh! Ha ha!
Let's spar!
[announcer] You have won!
This warm milk is delicious.
Pace yourself, Dennis.
That's a lot stronger than water.
Hey! Hey! Check me out.
I'm a lamp.
Very droll.
This night is straight-up cray, yo!
Indeed.
But while we're having fun,
I can't help but worry about Cleo.
Uh, yeah. I don't know if she's gonna be able to get Khepra to like her.
Because Khepra's impossible!
I mean, you can't expect congratulations
when you get top marks at university
or an "attaboy" when you land a great job.
And thanks is just too much to ask
even if you go antiquing with her every weekend!
Uh... are we still talking about Cleo?
Who else could we be talking about?!
Those are all verygeneric examples. Look over there!
- [Cleo grunting] - [Khepra laughing]
Take that! And that!
All right,Khepra. You've got the moves!
- [grunting] - [punching sounds]
Hey! You made me spill my warm milk!
Oh. I'm so sorry...
that yougot in my way!
- Huh? - Hunh?
[gasps]
There's only one way to settle this.
With a fight.
Fight?
Anhh! A realfight.
Fiiiiight!
There's a fight happening!
It's Cleo and Khepra versus RK and Vflurf!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
[excited chatter]
- [girl] Check it out. - [boy] Whoa, there's a fight!
Hah hah.
I mayhave got a little carried away.
I've had fight training, but no experience.
Hey, it's just like the game. Confidence is key.
Act like you know what you're doing... and I'll have your back.
Seriously? Even though I got us into this mess?
Of course! This is ladies' night!
No matter what happens, we are in this together.
The showdown appears to be over spilled milk.
- [crowd whooping] - Oh, and the crowd is excited!
[eager chatter]
[video game music playing]
Hyahh!
[crowd cheering]
Cleo goes for the noogies!
An oldie but a goodie!
[knuckles cracking]
[grunts]
- Ha-ahhh! - Unhhh!
Taaaaaake that!
Ha ha!
Boom! He's on his butt,
thanks to the classic sweepy-leg thing.
[all cheering]
[groaning]
Yaaaahhh! Unhh!
Khepra with the tuck 'n' roll. Nice!
[grunts]
Aaaaaaaaah!
Hyuhhh!
Aaaah! Yahh!
[RK growls]
[Vflurf shrieks]
- [crash] - [glass breaking]
[Vflurf panting]
- [RK giggling] - [Khepra] Coochie coochie coo!
Ha ha ha! No fair! Technical foul!
There's nothing in the rule book against tickling...
because there's no rule book!
[cheering]
[RK laughing hysterically]
[crowd chanting] Khep-ra! Khep-ra! Khep-ra!
- [music playing] - [both exclaiming]
[crowd cheering]
[growling]
[slo-mo] Ohhhhh!
[all gasp]
Ehh. Sorry I had to shove you.
That's quite all right.
I think a shove was exactly what I needed.
[grunting]
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[Vflurf, in Cockney accent] Oi, Cleo! Look over 'ere!
[beat-boxing]
[gasps] Are you waving your butt at me?!
Butt wave.
Cheeky and effective.
[Cleo roars]
[growling]
Uh-oh.
[commentator] Oh, snap.
Things just got real!
Grrrr!
- [classical music] - [both vocalizing]
Cleo, help!
[growling]
- Khepra! - [whoosh]
Quaser gloves?! Hey, no fair!
What'd you expect?
We're a street gang.
Two is not a gang!
[commentator] Cleo and Khepra seem to be
- in a lot of trouble. - Grrr!
[commentator] What's gonna happen next?
The suspense is killin' me!
Argghh!
[zapping]
Cleeeooo!
Aaaaaand...
Cleo just fled the fight!
Unbelievable!
[evil laughter]
[all gasp]
Ow!
Grrr!
[zapping]
Cleo! You didn't leave me!
Have you seriously learned nothing about ladies' night?
Hyuhh!
- Uhhhh-yahh! - [RK screams]
[crowd cheering]
[zapping]
[both grunting]
Hyahhh! Huhh! Hyahh!
Hyahhhh! Huahhh!
[Vflurf whimpering]
Ohhh....
Whoo! Aw, yeah!
- [glass breaking] - [Akila, Callie shriek]
Huh?!
[panting]
[applause]
Huh?!
[applause continues]
Hyahhh!
Unnhhh!
Ohhhh....
[slurping]
Hmm?
Yahhh!
- [splat] - [boy groans]
Ohhh.
Cleo and Khepra are victorious!
Proving that there's nothing friends cannot accomplish,
especially on ladies' night.
All right, Cleo!
[cheering]
Oh. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
[cheers, applause]
Huh. We definitely missed something.
Well, we definitely got to know each other better.
[Khepra] I haven't had that much fun in...
well, ever.
[Khensu] Do you know what time it is?
I was worried about you, Mother.
Mother?!!!
Ohhh... fudge nuggets.
You're hallucinating! I'm not here! You heard nothing! Look over there!
[Khepra] Put the smoke bomb away, Khensu.
The cat, as they say,
is out of the bag.
She's your mom?!
That's crazy! Oh, you know what, maybe I should have known.
I mean, your names are kind of similar,
and you did seem to know a lotabout her,
but you always do the smoke bomb thing when I ask about--
You can't tell anyone. Please!
We've kept it quiet because we didn't want anyone to think
I was getting special favors because my mother was the Administrant.
Hey, I won't tell anyone. I promise.
[Khepra] I trust you.
You had my back at the arcade.
You're a good friend, Cleo.
Friend? That means you actually like me?
And why stop at friend? Maybe we could be bestfriends!
Let's not get carried away.
And that's why you're still in charge
of the mission to find the Uta tablet.
I am?
You are.
Even though on your last mission
you released a cursed turnip spirit
and drained the entire Canopian blood swamp.
To be fair,
if I had known that Canopians are allergic to the color yellow
I never woulda trained the bees to dance!
[device ringing]
So, Khepra,
was that a convincing enough performance?
Cleo believed everything,
and now she trusts me completely.
Your payment will be forthcoming.
[chuckles]
