Another bag of boots, Erin?
I just loaded two bags in the car.
Ah, don't blame me. Blame my feet.
They like boots.
Hey, Erin, I packed your air guitar.
We made a lot of great memories with that axe.
And we'll make a lot more.
Seriously, Dad, I'll be back before you know it.
I mean, unless things work out with Jaxxon,
and I end up on a summer tour,
and then a worldwide tour, and then...
Yeah, I can see I'm not helping.
Don't worry, Chuck, I've got her.
And if anybody messes with your baby bear,
Mama Bear will eat them alive.
Erin, as a girl boss, I don't do goodbyes.
But Captain Cutie Pie asked me to give you a hug for her.
[whimpering]
You tell Captain Cutie Pie I'm gonna miss her, okay?
Okay. And just to be clear,
you mean you're gonna miss me, right?
Yes.
And hey, if you need anything, New York's only an hour away.
Actually, I'm not allowed in New York anymore.
Too many parking tickets.
She'll be fine.
She's got a big bro to take care of her.
Last time you took care of her, you ended up
-with a belly button ring. -Which closed up
after another brief infection.
Look, the point is, this is a huge opportunity for you,
and we're all really excited.
So, you don't have to worry about us,
or my belly button.
You know, kiddo, I really wish I could go with you.
I get it, Dad. Your work is here.
And if you win a Porchy, it could really help your business.
And it's no problem for me
to keep my craft shop running remotely for a bit.
Plus, it gives me an excuse to yell "Girls trip!"
I'll grab the guitars.
I'll just come back for the air guitar.
Hey, before I go,
I just wanna make sure you're okay with this.
I know you really wanted to work with Jaxxon.
I did, but the music gods have spoken.
They want me to play PorchFest solo.
-Hm. -I'll send you a picture
of the mural when I win.
I think I might go with this pose.
Or maybe, this pose.
Or possibly even this pose.
Okay, we get it.
You got a lot of poses.
All right, kiddo.
That's everything. Time to roll.
Hey, how 'bout a group hug?
[Sylvia sighs]
Erin, you want in on this?
[sighs] I do.
Okay.
-See you guys. -Bye, sweetie.
-See you, Erin. -Peace.
[sobbing]
Oh, man! I'm gonna miss her!
Well, here's something to take your mind off of it.
We still have to scrape the paint off our porch.
But we were up all night fixing Fritz's porch
so he wouldn't find out.
I'm tired. And I'm sad.
Suck it up, Chuck.

Hey!
Good. Hunter, I'm writing
a second verse for my PorchFest song.
What rhymes with "pretzel"?
Ooh, how 'bout "Vivian"?
Vivian? Dude, that's not even close.
Oh, right. I'm just kidding.
I definitely didn't say that because she's on my mind
all the time, because she's not.
Well, this was helpful.
Bro, I don't get it. If you need help with lyrics,
why don't you just ask Erin?
[scoffs] Because I want her to think
I'm doing fine so she can focus on her own music.
-Wait, are you not doing fine? -Does it look like I'm doing fine?
I'm trying to find a rhyme for the word "pretzel," man.
Look, the truth is, even though I'm excited for Erin,
I wish she didn't go.
-For real? -[sighs] Yeah.
I guess it just helps to have her around.
She knows how to push me as a musician.
Anyways, this is Erin's big break, and I don't wanna stand in her way.
So, put on a brave face.
Whoa, that is a brave face.
Yeah, and I gotta keep it up,
which is why I'm gonna send Erin videos
telling her how great I'm doing.
-Hey, guys. -Hey, Vivian.
You know Erin's gone, right?
Yeah. I'm just meeting up
with my friend Hunter.
Get off my back.
The real question is, what are you up to?
Just fixing our porch.
♪ There's nothing broken we can't fix ♪
[choking up] ♪ We'll fix it in the mix ♪
Oh, boy.
Erin helped write that song.
I really miss her.
Chuck, Chuck, Goose, what up?
[Chuck sobbing]
That is one down dad.
I know.
And the only way to fix him is to fix his porch.
If I can win Chuck a Porchy, maybe he won't be so sad about Erin.
I don't know. Looks like a lot of work.
Not if I get some help.
Totally unrelated... I know you two
are secretly dating.
[chuckles] Pfft, we are...
we are not secretly dating.
Then why are you holding hands?
Because it feels right.
It's true.
She's my lady and I'm her man.
Aw. You can't tell anyone.
If Erin and Aaron find out, it can seriously distract them
at a crucial moment on their musical journey.
Oh, don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.
On one condition.
Keep scraping, lovebirds.
Erin? You know what I love about you?
That you don't have a DipDap page.
You're like a social media ghost. It's spooky.
Oh, it is? Well, in that case, boo!
Oh, "boo," 'cause you're a ghost.
[laughing] I love it.
Except it's bad for business. So, I got you this.
-My phone? -I took it while you weren't looking
and created a DipDap account for you.
I thought you liked that Erin doesn't have a DipDap account.
I do, but I'm not the one buying her songs.
The kids are. And the kids are on DipDap.
Isn't that right, Todd?
Todd says that's right.
Anyways, let's talk about your first single.
We need a hit.
Ooh, what about the one you wrote about going fishing
with your dad?
It was really... catchy.
Okay, no.
What Erin needs is... stay with me here...
a dance pop song.
Dance pop?
But I thought you liked my sound.
You said there's music in me the world needs to hear.
And they will hear it, and dance to it.
Because it is...
dance pop.
Hey, hon.
You don't have to do anything you don't wanna do.
I know. I just...
don't know.
Oh, looks like I missed a message from Aaron.
Hey, Erin, it's me just killing it over here.
Even found a rhyme for "pretzel."
But I'm saving it for PorchFest. Later.
He found a rhyme for "pretzel"?
I've been trying to do that for years!
Ooh, "forgets-ful"!
Nope, that is not a word, Sylvia.
You know what? I'm glad Aaron sent me this.
He's doing great on his own.
I gotta figure out how to do that too.
Jaxxon?
-Let's go dance pop. -[gasps] Good!
Because I already have your first single.
It's about dresses that have... wait for it...
Pockets!

[sighs] We've been working nonstop.
I am so tired.
Hey, Butt Spark's not complaining.
Butt Spark, what are you doing here?
Natasha knows my secret... that my butt sparks.
Well, well, well. Look who it is.
Natasha, destroyer of porches.
I have no idea what you're talking about, basement boy.
Well, maybe this will refresh your memory.
[chuckles]
Oh, that could be any girl and her mini-horse.
That'll teach you to mess with Natasha Williams
and Captain Cutie Pie.
Dang it! Please don't call the fuzz.
The cops? No, that's not why I'm here.
I want you to wreck the porch again.
Wait. I'm sorry, what?
The truth is, I don't even like PorchFest.
My dad makes me sing about his porch,
but I wanna sing my own songs,
about life and love,
and I don't know, dogs that fly airplanes.
Scotty, simple Scotty,
wrecking your dad's porch is not the answer.
He'll just rebuild it.
If you want this to end, there's only one thing to do.
Write that airplane dog song?
Yeah, I have so many questions.
I was gonna say Scotty should help with our porch.
If we win, his dad would finally taste defeat,
and that might knock him down a peg.
-I'm not sure, guys. -I'll take that as a yes.
-Now, get to work! -Right away, boss.
-On it. -Okay.
[acoustic guitar playing]
It's almost PorchFest.
What'd you think about that solo, Erin?
[whinnying]
You may look like Erin, but your taste in music is way off.
If Natasha asks, I am not up here.
Also, what is happening?
I work better when I bounce ideas off Erin,
but she's not here, so Captain Cutie Pie had to step up.
Oh. Are these your new lyrics?
Uh, yeah, but you don't really need to...
"Hey, hey, hey, I don't accept defeat.
Hay, hay, hay, is something good to eat."
Maybe I shouldn't be bouncing ideas off a horse.
-Or dressing it up like my sister. -[Captain Cutie Pie nickering]
Probably not, no.
Honestly, don't tell Erin, but I'm kinda having
a hard time with my music since she left.
It turns out we work really well together.
Uh, duh.
That's why she wanted to play PorchFest with you.
And become a band.
Wait... a band?
With me, not just for PorchFest, but like, for real?
Yeah. She was going to ask you,
but then you told her to leave.
It hurt her feelings.
That's why she went to New York.
[Hunter] Whoa.
Truth revealed.
I'm also hiding from Natasha.
So, wait, the only reason Erin's in New York
is 'cause I said I wanted to go solo?
Yeah.
But now, I don't want to go solo.
I gotta call her.
[Jaxxon] Hey, Erin can't come to the phone right now.
She's busy becoming a superstar.
Namaste.
Looks like there's only one thing left to do.
Go to New York, ask Erin to come back,
get home just in time to play PorchFest?
Exactly. I'm going to New York.
Boy trip!
Backup dancers only?
[faint music playing]
You a dancer?
No, but my sister's in there,
and I just took the train all the way from New Jersey,
and a rat tried to steal my string cheese.
Well, not tried. It did.
That's tough, man. I've been there myself.
So, you gonna let me in?
No.
Then I'm just gonna have to let myself in.

[humming]
All right, Chuckles.
There's something outside you might want to see.
-Is it Erin? -Yes, it is.
Not. But now that you're up,
you might as well come with me.
Feast your eyes on this.
Tada!
Whoa. It's exactly as I pictured it!
What do you say? Ready to win a Porchy?
Wait, you did this for me?
Yep, all by myself.
Ahem!
Fine, I had a little help.
Ahem!
Fine, I had a lot of help.
Ahem.
I already said I had a lot of help.
Sorry, I was just clearing my throat.
Scotty, what are you doing here?
Taking down my pops so I can set my musical heart free.
PorchFest starts in a couple of hours
and you look like a man
who's been moping around the house, Chuck.
I'll hit the shower, then put on my fancy flannel.
I'm back, baby!
[phone chimes]
Oh, no. I just got a text from Aaron.
He can't get to Erin and a rat ate his string cheese.
-This is terrible. -I know.
He really needs his calcium.
You're worried about Aaron and Erin? What about Chuck?
If we don't have a musical act, he can't win a Porchy.
How are we gonna find a musical act
-at the last second? -Ahem.
You're right. You could do it.
Actually, I was just clearing my throat again.
But yeah. Yeah, that'd be amazing.
All right, let's run it from the dance break again.
Again?
We should call the song Blisters on my Feet,
'cause that's what I have.
♪ P-O-C-K-E-T-S, I've got pockets in my dress ♪
You hire another male dancer?
I don't know. Sounds like something I'd do.
Erin! Erin!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Also sorry.
All right, that one was your fault.
Hey, I know that clumsy dancer. Aaron!
-What? -No, Aaron!
Aaron?
We gotta talk.
[music stops]
Uh, boy I didn't pick, what are you doing here?
-I need to talk to my sister. -Oh-ho-ho, I don't think so.
Todd, kick him out, and give him a piece of your mind!
Oh, well, don't say that, Todd. He's a kid.
Actually, I think these two need a minute,
so how 'bout you back off?!
That's right, you just got Mama Bear-ed.
That's a five.
Okay, what is going on?
Vivian told me you want to be in a band with me.
I wanted to be in a band with you. Not anymore.
Besides, you're already doing great without me.
You even found a rhyme for "pretzel."
Actually, I didn't.
Oh, good.
'Cause the day someone does, all bets'll be off.
[both] "Bets'll!"
All right, first off, we're geniuses.
Second, look, when I thought Jaxxon wanted me, I was excited.
But I'm glad she picked you,
'cause it gave me a chance to see something...
that you make my music better.
Maybe you make my music better too.
Maybe I would have said that to you if you hadn't told me
to go to New York, you bing-bong.
I was trying to help you achieve your dreams.
Pockets in My Dress is not my dream,
even if they do make a lot of sense.
So convenient.
So, what do you say? Wanna go home, start a band?
Not just for PorchFest, but for real?
Okay, I'm in.
Jaxxon, I'm going in a different direction.
What? Nobody quits on Jaxxon.
I quit, and I'm telling Mom everything!
[gasps]
Aw, good for Todd.
But, back to PorchFest.
I don't know if we'll make it in time.
I'm sure Natasha will stall for us. She always thinks of something.
Let's go.

Yeah, I'm very happy with this pose.
I'm so proud of my PorchFest winners.
How about your Porchy winner?
Oh, you better believe it.
Well, I couldn't have done it without Natasha.
And I couldn't have done it
without blackmailing Hunter and Vivian.
Oh, we're going by Huntivian now.
I'm really happy for you guys.
I'm also happy to be home starting a band.
About that, I got us our first gig.

and we helped create a monster.
