(giggling)
(school bell ringing)
Can we hang at your place
on Saturday?
My dads are deep
in a baking jag
and I'm getting jealous
of how much they love
- their sourdough starter.
- Nah.
Pops'll be watchin'
the Dorchester Dog Show.
Somethin' about seeing
a super groomed poodle strut
makes that old man bawl
BROOKLYN: All right. All right.
All right. All right.
All right. All right. All right.
It's the volleyball team.
(techno music playing)
Oh, my gosh.
They're coming right at us?
Why are they coming at us?
Hey, y'all.
You crushed it in science today, Lafayette.
Best lab partner ever.
I, uh, well, science!
(chuckles) Anyway,
whatcha got shakin' Saturday?
- I'm having a slumber party.
- Uh-huh.
(laughs nervously)
So, you should come over?
To, like tutor you?
Or upgrade the RAM
on your computer?
To party.
And then slumber.
It's a slumber party, girl.
I, uh, I
You should both come.
A thousand times yes!
What are you doing?
The coolest kids in school
want us at their super soiree.
Say yes, woman.
We can't! It's a--
it's a school night.
It's not a school night.
They're all school nights
in my heart, Casey.
- Growth mindset, you'll love it.
- Oh, no, no, no, no!
As I was saying,
we would love to come
to your slumber party.
Wouldn't we Lunella?
- Love to.
- Aces.
See you Saturday.
Peace out.
(upbeat music playing)
Whoo! Our stock is rising faster
than Dad's sourdough starter!
I-- whoa.
You're for real
panicked about this.
What's up?
Don't you like Brooklyn?
Well, yeah. She's amazing!
But the truth is I
(mumbling)
(speaking Spanish)
Mas alta, por favor.
Okay.
But just don't judge, okay?
I've never made it through
an entire sleepover before.
- What?
- Well, I used to get invited,
and I'd show up all excited
in my juiced up
aluminized mylar sleeping bag,
and then I'd see the other
kids and my brain would just--
(imitates explosion sound)
Or like one time
I literally passed out
and woke up on the A train
covered in soup!
- CASEY: You're Soup Girl?
- (Lunella sighs)
Last invite was third grade.
Which, cool, you know.
I know I'm garbage
at making friends.
Whoa.
What am I, Lunella?
I am your friend.
This phone used to be filled
with selfies.
And now
it's filled with us-ies.
You do know
how to make friends, Lu.
How? I can tell you all about
what goes on up inside
a subatomic particle.
But what happens
inside the teenage brain?
Total mystery!
Seriously, chica.
Just be yourself.
Fitting in isn't something
you can science.
Science?
Yes! Great idea, Case!
This is why I love you!
Moon Girl Magic.
Behold!
Nope! Don't say "behold."
You never show me
anything I approve of
after saying "behold."
Okay. Yeah, yeah. Just look.
This dope little zapper
detects and interprets
beta waves from the cranium.
In other words,
it's a mind-reading device!
(shrieks)
With this, I can read
the thoughts of everyone
at Brooklyn's party!
Then I'll know with scientific
precision exactly how to act.
(grunting)
Let's take her out for a spin.
Read my mind,
and you will hear words
even you don't understand.
Okay
(snorts, growls)
D's got my back.
Recalibrating brain waves
for new test subject.
Doo-doo-doo-doo.
(upbeat music playing)
(grunting)
Did we just switch brains?
Uh-uh. Hard no!
I wanted to get inside
someone's head,
but not, like, literally!
I gotta fix this!
Okay. I don't like to say
I told you so,
but yes I do and yes I did.
Anyhoo, it's time to bounce.
(grunting)
Aw, I wish you
could come with me, bud,
but this slumber party
is a kids-only affair.
(growls)
All right, we are good to go.
Come on, Case! I need that.
You don't. But I got you.
Show me everything
about volleyball.
You can read it on the subway.
(upbeat music playing)
(train bell dings)
(screams)
(doorbell dings)
(upbeat music playing)
Enter if you dare.
If I'm a mess,
it ain't my fault ♪
You got me dancing
on the walls ♪
Check it out, Lu!
Snacks, Karaoke,
bratty little brother.
This is peak slumber party.
(evil laugh)
Yeah. Peak.
Hoo-ray.
(nervous chuckle)
(upbeat music playing)
Calderon! You ready to sing?
I've been ready for this
My whole life! ♪
C'mon in, Lafayette.
We won't bite.
(chuckles)
Oh, my gosh, T.J.
get your stupid city
- out of my party.
- I was here first!
I'd explain
its technical complexities,
but you wouldn't understand,
snot brain.
(growls) Your guts are dumb
and you smell.
Psyched you made it.
Sweet gear.
I totally dig it.
Dig!
Like the volleyball move!
Yeah,
along with the pass, block,
attack, set, and serve! Ha-ha!
Cool that you're into
volleyball, but you know,
we can talk about
other things too.
Lafayette, heads up!
Spike!
Ha!
(upbeat music playing)
BROOKLYN: (gasps) Yo!
Oh,
it's actually quite interesting,
see the sodium pyroborate
maximizes the surface area
of active particles
by bonding
Much like how le Federation
Internationale de Volleyball
helps people
all over the world
bond over the sport
which we all love
and are interested in!
Well, I'm out.
The Dorchester Dog Show.
Whoo, ain't nothin' gonna
get between Pops and his pups.
Now where's that dang remote?
Hmm.
Nope.
Come on now.
Aha!
(growls)
Mimi! Do we have batteries?
I can't miss
the schnauzer parade!
(upbeat music playing)
(growls)
(screams)
(nervous chuckles)
Hey, you know what's fun?
Chewing our food.
Should we try it?
- (growls)
- Don't you grr at--Oh
There's a dinosaur brain
in my best friend, isn't there?
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Oh! What even is
my life right now?
(sighs)
Okay.
I can get us out of here
but one of us is gonna have
to fake a head wound.
Lu--Dev--no, you can't be here!
You're gonna make it weird-er!
BROOKLYN: Lafayette!
Charades! You're up!
(laughs)
- (growls)
- Um T-rex!
They are good.
Tai for the win!
(growls)
(upbeat music playing)
(growls)
POPS: Where is the--
ooh, I got dogs to see.
Hey, Lafayette,
rain some science down on us.
Those sodium pyroborates
sound fierce.
(growling)
(grunting)
Hey!
Hi! Hi!
Um, BRB. So, plot twist.
Pops found the remote
and kinda switched my brain?
Was it obvious?
I would never lie to you.
- So I need to stop talking now.
- Okay. Fair.
I gotta get home
and grab the thingie
before we switch brains again!
Can't you just change
the channel on the TV?
Mm-mmh.
Lunella put on
the parental controls.
(tutting)
Let a young man
show you how it's--
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Your friends are weirdos.
Leave us alone or I will tape
your butt to the subway
and send you
to the part of the Bronx
where they throw away
little brothers forever.
(sobbing)
C'mon James. Here, let me try.
- (rock music playing)
- SINGER: Uh oh ♪
I'm going out my mind ♪
Uh oh ♪
I'm going out my mind,
uh oh ♪
- Whoo-hoo ♪
- One two, a-one, two, three ♪
You got me feeling
some type of way ♪
I'm in a Technicolor daze ♪
If I'm a mess,

You got me dancing
on the walls ♪
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I'm going out my mind ♪
Something
in the moonlight ♪
Just snuck into my brain ♪
I tried and tried

But I’ll never be the same ♪
Something pulls me under
And we play this wicked game ♪
Call the doctor,

I’m lovesick and

Uh oh,
I'm going out my mind ♪
Uh oh,
I'm going out my mind ♪
No!
(screams)
- Yeah! Yes, sir!
- Whoo!
You destroyed T-J-Opolis!
I'll get you for this!
I'll find something you love
and I'll--
BROOKLYN'S MOM: T.J., mira!
Leave your sister's
friends alone! Entiendes?
Honestly, not sure, if you or
Devil is responsible for this.
Oh! I told you,
I'm garbage at making friends.
I never shoulda come here.
Chica! We'll be fine.
As long as we don't get roped
into a game of--
BROOKLYN: Truth Or Dare!
(chuckles)
Doggone it!
The show's over anyhow.
And now Mr. Chow Chow's
message board
is gonna have inside jokes
that I won't understand.
(upbeat music playing)
(roars)
Lunella Lafayette,
we dare you to drink
The Slurry of Fury!
Drink. The. Juice.
(chanting) Drink the juice.
Drink the juice.
Drink the juice!
Drink the juice!
This is how cults get started.
(sniffs)
- (cheering)
- Oh, yeah!
- Yeah.
- Get it!
(sad music playing)
(dramatic music playing)
My turn next!
I dare us to run barefoot
into the bodega! Okay bye!
Lunella, stop.
- Stop!
- (growls)
Now that you've got your own
ears back, you're gonna listen.
I don't need to listen,
I saw enough.
A dinosaur is literally better
at fitting in
with teenagers than I am.
Just go back without me.
Or, with me, but, you know,
just my body,
not my me.
Your body's not good enough!
That came out all wrong!
Even when I am in charge
of myself, I'm just different.
I mean, who wants to talk
science at a slumber party?
This whole being myself thing
is just too embarrassing.
But when you're you,
you're my favorite.
And if the other kids
don't see you
for the magical unicorn
that you are,
- then we don't need them.
- Thanks, Case.
(chuckles) Aw, Devil.
So if you wanna get out of here,
- we can do that.
- I think I do.
We can hang out at my place.
Maybe my dads' sourdough starter
will want to
watch a movie with us.
See ya back at home, Dev.
I'll dismantle
the remote tonight.
Gotta make sure it doesn't
fall into the wrong--
- TJ: Yoink!
- Hands!
Hey! Give that back!
You took something from me.
I'm taking something from you.
Look I'm really sorry
about your city,
but that does not belong to you!
Hmm, nah. Under International
Little Brother Code,
Statute 7, Section B:
Finders keepers, losers weepers.
(nervous chuckles) T.J.
Sweet, sweet boy!
Please, please
be careful with that.
And whatever you do,
don't hit that button!
Bye.
We'll never catch him
on that thing.
We need Moon Girl speed!
(dramatic music playing)
(growls)
(upbeat music playing)
See it color
the horizon line ♪
See the blur
of all the flashing signs ♪
So electric
like a lightning strike ♪
Make it bright enough ♪
Something's rising
from the underground ♪
Feel it buzzing,
can you hear that sound? ♪
Nothing's ever gonna
slow us down ♪
We gon' light it up ♪
Neon City ♪
We'll be burning
through the dark ♪
Let the shadows fall apart ♪
Shining bright,
that's who we are ♪
We are
Neon City ♪
Faster than
the speed of light ♪
We illuminate the night ♪
Shining bright,
that's who we are ♪
We are
Neon City ♪
(engine revving)
(screams)
I swipe one stinky remote
and you call in
your superheroes?
Yo! Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
are attacking my little brother!
(chuckles)
Now you're gonna get it!
Whoa! Watch it!
(screams) Pillow fight!
Don't hit me, hit Moon Girl!
If Moon Girl is chasing you,
you def deserve it.
(chuckles)
(all laughs)
Peak slumber party.
(growls)
Teamwork makes the dream work.
(grunting)
Mom!
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
just beat me up!
BROOKLYN'S MOM:
That's what you get
for bugging your sister!
Se acabó!
Hey, catch ya
on the flip side, Moon Girl.
Ha, ha. Pew, pew. Flip ya on
forget it.
Uh be right up!
(sighs)
So what do you wanna do?
Yo, you're back.
Yeah. And I wanted to say sorry.
You know, for being
all weird at ya'.
I know I was all
science blah-blah,
and ooh, sodium.
(sighs) I tried so hard
to talk volleyball
'cause I wanted to fit in.
But truth is,
I've never made it
through a slumber party
because I'm so awkward.
I'm learning
to be okay with that,
and, I wanna stay,
if you'll let me.
I was having fun,
even if I have zero idea
how to be normal.
(snorts) Normal?
Ain't so such thing as normal.
Bring it in. Look at us.
We're a team.
We're headed to State
with 1,400 kills.
- Go squirrels!
- And we didn't get there
because we're all the same.
We got there
because we're all different,
and we all bring something
that no one else can do.
That's also why
we're friends, too.
We're all into different stuff.
Not just volleyball.
I build animal habitats.
I like race cars.
I collect creepy
circus memorabilia.
(squeak)
I have some
follow-up questions.
And you! You've got your big,
beautiful science brain.
- That cleaner you invented?
- Yeah?
My goodness. Scary smart.
No, for real!
When you left I got scared
we wasn't smart enough for you.
No! I bolted because
I didn't think I fit in.
(clicks tongue) You don't need
to fit in to belong.
Huddle up! On three!
One, two, three!
- Squirrels!
- I'm finally fitting in!
Yeah, we'll, uh
we'll work on it!
(upbeat music playing)
(snoring)
Buenos dias, baby! You made it.
(shrieks) My first
slumber party!
All right. So, check it.
This vacuum element here
increases the pressure,
turning this whipped cream can
into a whipped cream cannon.
Hit me.
(all giggling)
(train whistle blows)
Okay, okay.
So say I wanted to
supercharge a race car engine?
