[laughs]
Word of warning, D, I play to win.
[whimpering]
- You sure you're cool with this?
- You kidding?
We got two titanium-reinforced
cabs out of it.
[traffic light beeping]
Skate race!
[upbeat music playing]
[Devil Dinosaur groaning]
Yes!
Winning!
Yeah.
[car horn blares]
[upbeat music playing]
Whoo. Was that skate race dope
or was it dope? Ha!
- [groans]
- Instant classic.
Could this night get any better?
Whoo, we are gonna tear it up, tonight!
-Bring all the snacks!
- What's going on up there?
The brand name ones in the back too!
Let's get this party started!
Ain't no party like this family's party!
Party?
Hello.
[elevator bell dings]
Where the party at?
Whoa, whoa, whoa-hold up.
Are you having Game Night?
Without me?
- What?
- No!
Mind blown. I'm gutted.
Lunella, sweetheart,
you said you'd be studying
at Casey's all night,
and we just figured
A little light-hearted
fun-and-games wouldn't hurt.
Honey, I'm gonna give it to you
straight, you don't exactly
I don't exactly what?
[foreboding music playing]
You don't know how to have fun, Lunella!
Fun? [chuckles]
I love Fun! I'm the Queen of Fun!
Oh, yes. Of course, baby,
but when it comes to games
You get a little obsessed.
And you can't exactly have fun
when you're obsessed with winning.
[scoffs] Okay. As a scientist,
I demand evidence.
Just give me one example.
Okay. If my bicep is exerting force
7.38 times the supported weight
Lunella, put the tile down.
You're already ahead 300 points!
I can make a longer word,
I just need to add another board!
[grunting]
Back!
- [laughs] Y'all are cray.
- Oh, Lunella, honey
Hey, she's gotta learn this on her own.
[school bell ringing]
Good morning, can I get a drumroll?
[student coughing]
First, a friendly
Principal Nelson reminder
please stop feeding the squirrels.
We're all proud of our mascot, I get it,
but last week, one of 'em came after me.
And, girl, let me tell you,
they said I'm no fun.
- Can you believe that?
- No?
I mean, they got me totally wrong.
I'm not "obsessed with winning!"
I'm all kinds o' fun!
Right, Case?
our beloved
Guidance Counselor is retiring
after 20 years of service.
Give it up for Miss Sarah!
[scattered applause]
Please, don't have any feelings
until we hire a replacement.
Now let's get to the reason
we're all here today.
It's my pleasure to introduce
The East Coast Science Institute's
chess-champion supercomputer,
LOS-307!
Ooh, a supercomputer!
[man] Whoever says computers
don't have feelings
hasn't met LOS-307.
When a group of elite engineers created
a revolutionary processing system,
the digital creation displayed
not just intelligence, but emotion.
Yet unlike Lunella,
who's obsessed with winning games,
LOS yearns for something more.
LOS can connect to any network or device,
but what they really wanna do
is connect with people.
[LOS-307] Hello, children, I am LOS-307,
a non-binary logarithmic operating system,
yada, yada, yada.
Who wants to play chess
so we can get this assembly over with?
[gasps] Oh, me, me, me, me.
We have a challenger!
Lunella Lafayettte, come on down!
Time to do my thang.
[laughs nervously]
You sure about this, Lu?
Why not? You know me,
I'm all about fun, remember?
Lunella! Lunella!
[all chanting] Lunella! Lunella! Lunella!
Lunella! Lunella! Lunella!
[upbeat music playing]
Okay, Lunella. Make us proud.
Go Squirrels!
[beeps]
[LOS-307] Hello, neighborhood child.
What's your name?
Doom.
[LOS-307] Whoa, we got a live one here!
Just kidding. I'm Lunella.
[LOS-307] Nice to meet you, Lunella.
I'm LOS-307.
They/them pronouns, pretty please.
Hey, just like Tai!
Go, Lunella!
Lunella! Lunella!
She/her for me.
[LOS-307] Okay, let's see whatcha got!
A sure-fire-ten-move-checkmate
is what I got.
[LOS-307] Well, don't stress
if it doesn't work out.
Chess is no stress. Let's have some fun!
[upbeat music playing]
[LOS-307] So, this is move ten.
Yeah, I know!
But I'm nowhere near checkmate!
[LOS-307] Yeah, me neither. Weird.
[both] No one's ever lasted
this long against me!
[LOS-30] Funny. I never get
to know my opponents,
'cause the game is always over too fast.
But since we're still here,
tell me something about yourself!
Sorry, but I hafta wrap this up
before my science test, so
[upbeat music playing]
[sighs]
[LOS-307] We should call it a draw.
You can't miss your test.
Nah, nah, nah. Casey's got my back.
- [LOS-307] Casey?
- Science test.
[Lunella] And done.
What's taking so long, Lafayette?
We should let Anand play.
Eduardo! Your mother is about to receive
a very strongly worded text from me!
[LOS-307] Oh, I like Casey!
What a good friend.
[breathes deeply]
Okay. Focus, focus, come on.
[singing indistinctly]
All done for today, Principal Nelson.
[gasps] What time is it?
Lunella, school's over.
- You got to go home.
- But I have to win!
[LOS-307]
We're just getting to know each other!
It was nice to meet you
Lunella!
Gonna have to re-charge you overnight.
[LOS-307] Did you see that?
I see us becoming real friends, don't you?
Do you think she has siblings?
Do you think she likes bagels?
Do you think she likes me?
[lights switching off]
[LOS-307] Who are you, Lunella?
[keyboard clacking]
[rumbles]
[growls]
Ayo, Devil, what's good, what's crackin'?
[growls]
Distracted? I'm not distracted,
I'm as focused as a compound microscope.
Just let me run some simulations,
and then I'll play with you!
[growling]
[objects clatter]
[grunts]
[electronic beeping]
[Lunella sighs] With all the pawns gone,
if I move the rook up to
[gasps]
Ah!
[screaming]
[panting]
I've gotta win that game!
[upbeat music playing]
Only 10,000 possible pin codes,
but thanks to my hack hub,
it should only take
[lock clicks]
Huh?
That's weird
[upbeat music playing]
[LOS-307] Lunella!
Oh, I was hoping you'd come back!
My intellectual match, in the flesh!
Your intellectual match
needs an intellectual rematch.
[LOS-307] You want to play chess?
Aw, come on, Lunella,
we're super-geniuses!
We could do anything!
We could probably crack cold fusion
if we had an afternoon
and enough paperclips!
Oh, yeah, that sounds super fun
but let's do that tomorrow.
Tonight, I need to win this game.
[LOS-307] Sure, okay.
That's what friends do, compromise, right?
But just FYI, I can't run
the game simulation for too long
while I'm charging,
or I'll overheat and
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's play.
[groans] No more pawns on the board.
[LOS-307] Whoo! It's so hot, are you hot?
Let's get some cool air in here.
Oh, hello.
Are you trying to freeze off my puffs?
[LOS-307] Sorry, but if I overheat
what if we take a break and just chill?
Did I just make my first joke?
[sighs] Okay.
I'm out of check.
As Casey would say,
"Quit your shvitzing, chica."
[LOS-307] Check.
This is honestly
the most fun I've had in years.
Well, technically
I'm only eight months old.
But time is a human construct.
[gasps] Ouch!
[LOS-307] We oughta take a break.
It's so hot
Soon. I almost got this.
[LOS-307] I know how you feel, Lunella.
People expect us to win
at things like this.
And the pressure to win,
the drive it takes
it becomes an obsession.
Just one more move!
[LOS-307] Oh, no, it's happening
- Lunella, run run
- [Lunella] It's okay, it's okay,
just, you know, just cool down.
[LOS-307] Run for your life, Moon Girl!
[gasps] Wait, Moon Girl?
[LOS-307] Oh, yeah. My advanced A.I.
deduced your big secret. Uh-oh!
[laughs]
Aw, don't go, Moon Girl!
It's time for a new game!
It's called, Escape the School Alive!
Hey, uh, it's okay.
Let's just call it a draw, okay?
No harm, no foul?
But mostly, no harm?
[LOS-307] Nope!
The game's just gettin' good.
If you bail on me now,
I'll tell the whole city that
[on megaphone]
Lunella Lafayette is Moon Girl!
Pawn to E4. Your turn.
Time to get buff!
- [laughs]
- [Lunella grunting]
That's not what that means!
Aight, let's juice this game up.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Yes. Now to call Devil-- Wazza.
[LOS-307] No phone-a-friend for you!
I hacked the Wi-Fi.
And the electrical system.
Casey's gonna kill me
if I get killed by a floor buffer.
Not on brand.
[woman] In the next chapter
of your Lucid Dream
Manifestation Meditation,
your PR firm will reach Fortune 500 status
and the Casey talk show will surpass
[hip-hop music playing]
[LOS-307] Look out Knight to F3!
[grunting] LOS, please stop!
I didn't mean to make you melt down!
[LOS-307] Well, you did.
- Bishop to D6.
- Paper?
Pfft, now that's just wasteful,
how's that supposed to ah!
Oh You wanna play?
Every self-respecting 13-year-old
knows how to make
the non-Newtonian fluid called slime!
Ha! I just took your Knight!
And how ya like a lil' liquid nitrogen?
I just took your Bishop!
Woot, woot!
[LOS-307] Well I just took your Queen.
Lunella!
Casey!
[jazz music playing]
[LOS-307]
All it took was one itty bitty fake text,
and she came runnin'.
Must be nice having a friend like that.
Uh-uh.
Nobody messes with my bff-slash-manager
and gets away with it!
[bell dings]
Help! I need at least eight hours of sleep
or my eyes get puffy!
[Moon Girl] I'm comin', Casey!
[LOS-307]
You're lookin' a little peaked, Moon Girl.
How 'bout a snack?
[grunting]
[panting]
We have an art room?
Thought that got lost in the budget cuts.
Ah. Go Squirrels.
[electricity crackling]
[dramatic music playing]
[grunting] I gotta contact Devil!
Okay, what do we got here?
Wait, go back to that last one!
That's it!
Yes!
Call! Lunella's! Lab!
Okay, so we're going manual.
[grunting]
Oh, no, no, no, please.
Not the fridge from the teacher's lounge?
[LOS-307]
I'm connected to everything now, Lunella.
But all I really wanted
was to connect with you.
You want to finish our game?
We'll finish our game.
[gagging]
No, Ms. Hallman's chicken paprikash!
She brought that for lunch last Thursday.
LOS, okay, listen, you were so nice to me,
and I I was a total dingus.
My family was right about me.
Can we, can we just start over?
[LOS-307]
[laughs] I think you mean "game over."
[ground rumbling]
[objects clatters]
Aw, man. [grunts]
[LOS-307] And it looks like
the giant techno-monster
is in the lead!

[cheers] I won! All right, all right.

- [growling]
[LOS-307] Congratulations, Moon Girl,
on a game well-played.
Now let's expand the board, shall we?
- There's Wi-Fi everywhere.
- [gasps]
[LOS-307]
I can hack into to every connected
device in the city.
Soon, everything will be at my command.
Then we'll really have some fun!
[Casey] Do something!
[LOS-307] Five, four, three, two
One. Checkmate.
[dramatic music playing]
[LOS-307 distort] No no! How?
I hacked 'em ten minutes ago.
I won. Whoo! All right, all right.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[LOS-307 distort] Lunella
I'm sorry this got out of hand.
Being on the road was so lonely.
I look at you and Casey,
and I wish I had that too.
What are you doing?
You were about to win
You know what?
My family was right about me,
I've been too obsessed with winning.
I got mad respect for you, L.O.S.
You're the best opponent I ever had.
You're smart, you're funny,
you were super nice
until you almost broke
my sternum with a floor buffer.
- [LOS-307 chuckles]
- [Moon Girl] But even when
you were tryna squish me,
you gave me a real gift
I was havin' fun.
[LOS-307 distorted] Me too.
It was an honor
Nuh-uh! I can't let you go out like this!
But their insides are, like, 70% water!
[LOS-307] Like a human being.
- What do we do?
- [Devil Dinosaur growling]
Oh, yeah! It just might work.
[dramatic music playing]
[gasps]
LOS?
Are you okay?
[LOS-307] Analyzing
there's still some moisture in my wheels,
but all other systems are 100%!
[all sighs]
[LOS-307] Lunella, what's our status?
Are we friends?
Also 100%.
[Casey] So, anyone else concerned about
the Mount Everest
of busted electronics in the gym,
or are we just gonna hand-wave that away?
[LOS-307] "Quit your shvitzing, chica".
I'm on it.
[Principal Nelson] So someone destroyed
thousands of dollars of our electronics
and then ordered newer,
better replacements?
Yeah, the engineers
won't take this back now.
Too much water damage. All yours, buddy.
Uh, what exactly are we supposed to do
with a soggy supercomputer?
[Lunella clears throat]
Um, Principal Nelson?
Can I just say?
I got to know L-O-S pretty well,
and I I think they're a great candidate
for the open guidance counselor position.
Uh, what are your credentials?
[LOS-307] Stand by I just read
all of Harvard's Developmental
Psychology coursework
in eight milliseconds.
Oh, and I'll work for free.
Let me show you to your office.
You don't have-- what you call it?
Olfactory sensors, do you?
To smell stuff?
Because Miss Sarah
used to microwave fish in there.
- Success!
- [laughs] So, uh, Case
you wanna come over after school?
We're having Game Night.
It'll be fun. I promise.
