I can't believe that Mrs. C is actually Lunia!
Me... [yawning] either.
Maybe she can help me learn new dream crafting techniques,
and once we get her Hourglass back, maybe...
maybe she'll choose me to be the new Dream Keeper.
That sounds... [yawning] amazing.
I can't wait to get into the Dream World and pick her brain.
It's going to be so--
Z-Blob?
Are you okay?
What? Are you sure?
Then we have to warn the others.
Dream Smasher has Lunia's Hourglass!
Guys! Guys!
Mateo, are you okay?
No, none of us are.
- One of my informants-- - Z-Blob.
- Izzie! - Sorry, sorry.
My informant was keeping tabs on Dream Smasher
while we were getting the lowdown on Lunia,
and he saw Dream Smasher force Royce to hand him the Hourglass!
Oh, no, no, this is terrible news.
Where did Dream Smasher take the Hourglass?
Um... we're not sure.
Z-Blob got hungry and headed off to the Candy Realm.
Ha! Some informant.
Kids, this is no time to point fingers.
We have to find that Hourglass.
Without it, the Dream World is in terrible danger.
A danger Lunia intends to stop.
Mrs. C, do you have any idea how to locate it?
Wow!
Girl, you look good!
- Whoa. - Are you okay?
Of course I am, Oz.
It's just been a long time since I've dream crafted,
and without my Hourglass, I'm afraid my skills are a bit rusty.
Don't worry, Mrs. C-- uh, I mean Lunia.
We'll find that turkey and get it back,
and then you can dream smash Dream Smasher--
Claudius...
What's up with all these name changes?
...for good!
All right, but...
where do we start looking?
Why look, when we can ask Dream Smasher directly?
Good morning, world!
Ah, it looks like we got another beautiful day on our hands!
Ah, listen to those birds. Hey, neighbor!
Can't wait to get to work-- Yow...! Ah!
Hey, Dad! Headed to work?
Why, yes, I am.
At Happy App, it pays to be on time.
I can't tell you how relaxed I feel.
Not in a rush to--
But you can't leave without us!
I can't?
No! Um...
Tell him why, Teo.
Yeah, uh...
because...
it's... "take your dependents to work" day!
Really?
It is?
Yeah!
It's a way for kids to learn about the real world.
You know, responsibility and stuff.
I know that sounds ridiculous,
and any other story would've probably made more sense,
but we gave you the permission slip, and you signed it,
so I guess we have to come with you then, okay?
That sounds like...
a fantastic idea!
Oh, you'll love it there!
Let's go!
You sure this will work?
Of course.
We'll find Claudius in the waking world
and get him to tell us where the Hourglass is.
Mr. Oz and Mrs. C--
Lunia--
will look for it in the Dream World.
Well, that sounds way better than going to school, right?
Right.
Uh, you guys are seeing what I'm seeing, right?
Just checking.
"Learning powered by Happy App"?
Our school's been...
monetized!
Uh... where is everybody?
Who cares?
Less kids means no line at lunch.
Maybe I can even get seconds.
All students assemble in classroom 28A.
That's Mrs. Putnam's class.
It can't fit the whole school in there, can it?
Uh, Cooper's right.
Something weird is definitely going on.
Let's stick together and watch each others' backs.
You mean like we're part of some... band?
Nah, she can't mean that, Logan.
Zoey is a solo artist,
though Logan and I have been working really hard on our melodicas.
Get ready for The Breatheren!
This is the exact reason I'm a solo artist.
Strange. No one's here either.
Oh, ho! I can finally get one of the good desks at the back!
Something isn't right.
I have a bad feeling about this. We're the only ones--
No!
I'm glad you've taken good care
of the Space Car, Oswald.
Uh... to be perfectly honest,
this is a recreation of the one you gifted me.
The other one, uh, uh... sort of blew up, yeah,
but, hey, it's sturdy as a rock.
It's fine! No problems!
- I'm sorry I-- - I've been meaning to ask--
Uh, please...
you go first.
I am sorry, Oswald.
I'm sorry I've been gone for so long,
and that my powers aren't what they used to be.
I've let the Dream World down.
Let you down.
If anyone should be sorry, it's me.
I should have figured out where you were a long time ago!
I'm supposedly pretty smart...
...but, uh, the past is the past.
Right now, I'm glad you are back, and we're going to find your Hourglass,
and it'll be like nothing has ever changed.
I hope you're right, Oswald.
I hope you're right.
Of course I am.
So, Lunia, where to first?
I thought we could go to the Forgemaster.
He might have a way of tracking the Hourglass
that we haven't thought of yet.
Great idea.
I'll just slingshot us around the Cheese Moon
of Dreamstation 10,
and through the Frozen Tundras of Celsenheit.
I've never heard of any of those.
So much has changed.
The Dream World even has a sun now.
Strange. That is new,
but you know the Dream World, always changing, shifting,
and new things being dreamt up, but not to worry,
we'll get you to the Forgemaster in no time.
Albert, give us a boost!
One boost coming right up!
Okay, this is weird.
Um, Mateo, why does it look like
everyone in the city is working here?
Well, Izzie, Happy App has just become the number-one employer in Brooklyn,
and we're expanding!
Now, let me get you some phones,
and I'll show ya how we do things around here.
Teo,
notice anything about that map?
It's not exactly to scale, but...
No, doofus, all those Happy App buildings
are in cities where other Night Bureaus are located.
Oh, no.
- Astrid... - Oh, no, what?
Oh, no... way we get to work here for the day!
Yippee!
Yeah, and it just keeps getting better and better!
Here.
Phones?
I thought you said those would rot our brains.
A regular phone, sure, but not a Happy App phone!
It comes preloaded with job programs that will take you
through everything you need to do in a day.
Hey, that's me,
and it says, "Mateo, Level one, Floor one"?
- Yeah! - Aah!
As you progress at Happy App, you move up levels,
and your phone will have access to the corresponding floor above you.
It's all very structured and productive.
So if you do enough,
you'll eventually get to the top where Claudius is?
You mean, P.C. President Claudius, and yeah.
I'm nearly there now!
Level 54?
Geez, Dad, you haven't even been working here that long.
It's not the time, it's the effort,
and honestly, it doesn't even feel like work.
Speaking of which, I gotta get back to it.
Hey, have fun, kids!
Be productive!
Okay, so, we sneak inside one of the delivery robots,
get past any guards, and then go straight to the top floor.
Weren't you listening, Mateo?
We just have to do all the things on the app,
and we'll be allowed to go to the top floor
without having to skulk around.
You mean... do actual work?
Think of it as a video game.
I bet I can score the most points faster than you can.
I don't know...
Oh, you're scared?
You're scared I'm going to beat you like I did in Redline Racers?
What? Fine!
You're on!
Ow!
I'll take its legs.
I'll take its head.
I'll take this opportunity
to forget Astrid ghosted me.
Silence!
That... voice...
Mrs. Putnam?
No!
I am merely an automated construct of Mrs. Putnam,
so as to put you children at ease.
It's... not working.
Mrs. Putnam has joined our ranks at the Happy App company,
so I have taken over her position.
Today we are starting a new curriculum
that will help you kids on your journey to being productive members of society.
Now... welcome to your new class,
"Thinking inside the box!
A guide to critical unthinking!"
Uh, that's strange...
This doesn't bode well.
I say we get out of here faster than a tick on a dog's hide
- during bath day. - We can't leave, not yet.
Forgemaster? It's me! Lunia!
Oh, he can't help you.
Not now, at least.
He's a bit... boxed up at the moment,
so you'll just have to talk to me,
former Dream Keeper.
Her name is Lunia!
Ah, yes...
I've heard rumblings of your return.
I knew you'd be out looking for the Hourglass.
It's only logical you'd start here.
Your predictability will be your downfall.
I'm already at Level three.
I'm totally going to beat Izzie.
Hey, broseph?
Looks like you're a little behind.
This is the pencil-counting room.
All you have to do is count 200,000 pencils,
and you go to the next level.
One, two, three...
Happy App helpline,
where every problem is a happy one.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Floor 20, here I come!
Recycling for three!
Level 35, floor 35 unlocked...
Good luck, broseph.
See you later!
I'm right behind you!
Aw...
This might take longer than I thought.
Oh, I'm totally gonna deliver these lunches
faster than you, sis!
In your dreams, broseph!
Here's your order!
Extra speedy delivery!
Did you finish untangling the rubber band ball?
Yes.
Did you take out all the lint from the lint brush
from every employee?
Of course.
So we're tied.
Looks like it.
Hey, kids!
Dad! What are you doing here?
Well, I got a notice on my phone
that says you two are exceeding all the company's expectations.
Yeah, we, uh, got a little competitive.
Hey, you keep this up,
it's gonna reflect well on my employee report.
You two are really making your dad proud.
Dad... we haven't been totally honest with you.
What do you mean?
Yeah, Dad, Claudius, El Presidente,
he's not a good guy.
What?
This company,
Claudius, gives you everything you think you need,
but behind the mask, he's just a big meanie
that wants to control everyone.
Mask? Aw, kids.
I'm worried about you.
I know you haven't been sleeping well,
and that's probably why you're saying these irrational things,
but I'll tell you what,
let's work on getting you a real internship,
and then you'll see that President Claudius and Happy App
are the best things to ever happen to us.
Right, Dad. You're right!
What? Mateo...
We'll apply for an internship
after we finish up our last task of the day.
Oh, no, look!
Someone forgot to fill the water cooler!
What?
Hmm, it doesn't look too low, but the kids are right.
Hydration is incredibly important to a good work day.
Level 54.
Access granted.
Ah, nice one, Mateo.
You had me worried there for a moment.
I'm still worried, Izzie.
Dad's been completely taken over.
That's why we need to get to that turkey Claudius
and get him to tell us where the Hourglass is
before Dad gets into even more trouble!
And why do we follow rules?
Because we want to be boring and never make anything great?
Incorrect! Rules make us safe.
Rules keep us productive and safe from danger.
What if we want a little danger?
That does not compute.
Please refrain from deviating from the curriculum.
Or what?
Or you will be placed into our classes
for re-education.
Uh, don't you mean detention?
No, that is not what I mean at all!
So the Dream Keeper is more like the Dream Loser,
am I right?
- I really hate this guy. - Me too.
If I just had my Hourglass, I'd get rid of him rápido!
Oh...
you're looking for this?
My Hourglass!
Actually, it's my Hourglass now,
but don't worry, I'll keep it safe and secure,
especially from you.
Ah! What should we do?
We need to get that Hourglass.
Do you remember la distracción?
We used it against the sausage giants of Baconia?
Do I!
Sometimes I wake up with the meat sweats, it scared me so bad.
On three?
Uno, dos, tres!
Ooh, scary. Old people!
Huah! H'ah!
Old people and a chimpanzee!
H'ah!
Ah! I can't see!
Get off of me!
Let's go!
Oh!
I got him!
Hup! H'yah!
- Gotcha! - Ah!
He's too powerful.
We need to retreat and rethink our attack.
I'm with you.
Let's head to the Space Car and skedaddle!
Ah, gosh darn it!
I'm all out of tricks.
Lunia, it's up to you.
But my power... uh... I don't think I can fight him.
Aw... the former Dream Keeper is trying to dream craft.
How cute!
All right, Abuelita, show me what you've got!
Ooh!
That's it?
Wow...
you really have lost your touch.
I was expecting something--
Wow!
Climb up, quickly.
Ooh, that hurt.
What is it with all these animals?
H'wah!
He's on our tail.
Literally!
H'yah!
Ha! You thought a banana could stop me,
space monkey?
That's "chimpanzee," thank you very much.
We'll need the rest of the Dreamchasers to help get my Hourglass from him.
For now, we need to hide to fight another day.
I know a shortcut.
Pull up! Now!
Whoo-hoo! Hide and seek?
I love that game!
Hmm...
Hmm, where'd they go?
Bah, doesn't matter.
Not like they're ever gonna find this in the hidden fortress anyways.
He's headed toward that sun.
Do you think...?
That's no sun.
Stay away from its arms!
Whoa!
Easier said than done!
Zoey, tell me you have a plan!
The same plan I always have.
Kick butt and take names, and right now, I forgot my notepad.
Hup!
I guess school's out...
forever.
Zoey, you are so cool.
Totes cool.
I know.
Come on!
We need to find the others and tell them what's going on.
I have reports
that Dream Smasher has just been engaged in an altercation?
Correct. He was engaging with the monkey,
the wild-haired scientist, and the one they call Lunia.
Dream Smasher has assured us
the Hourglass will soon be safe in his fortress.
But he has not been performing to your standards.
Having a fortress in plain sight is just not logical.
He is being monitored.
His actions will suffice...
for now.
Izzie... why is there a giant glowing thing
talking to those two?
Beats me.
They just said it's being held at a fortress
that's in plain sight.
What's in plain sight in the Dream World?
The sun!
Let's get out of here before they see us.
Intruders.
Take care of them!
Close door, close door, close door!
Hey, kids, I was just looking for you.
Have you seen my phone?
Here you go, Dad. We gotta go!
Forgot about some homework! Okay, love you, bye!
That was fun, having them at work.
José, what if you could have them here all the time?
Oh, I'd love that, but, uh...
they seem to think this company is up to something nefarious.
We have a way of having them realize the truth,
if you're interested?
Absolutely!
Ah, there's nothing I'd want more than to have those kids by my side
at Happy App!
