(grunts)
Stay still,
would you? (grunts)
(grunting)
(gasps)
Ugh, can't you, like,
flee in terror?
I'm supposed to be evil.
Look, your evaporation skills
are cool and all,
- but I'm pretty wiped.
- (exclaims)
(gasps, exclaims)
(beeping, ding)
(relaxing music)
(sheep bleating)
(grunts)
(groaning)
(yelps, grunts)
Gift wrap ya' all nice for
S.H.I.E.L.D. to come get ya'.
Get in for a pic, MG!
These action shots will look
fantastico on the website.
Abyss, look menacing,
but ultimately redeemable.
Vámonos!
I will get you
for this, Moon Girl.
(grunts)
(groans, snorts)
Whoo! Heh, I am so ready
to just go home
and curl up with the biography
of Nobel-winning chemist
- Frances Arnold!
- How is that restful?
Oh, you know, it has pictures!
Of biomolecules.
Good news,
our 11 a.m. cancelled,
so you can totally
chill at home
for a very rejuvenating
23 minutes.
Then, it's off to your
all-day photo shoot.
(sighs) Another photo shoot?
Yeah, we really need
to update your shots
for the website. Is that okay?
Oh! Oh. Yeah, yeah yeah.
I love me a photo--
Shoot! (groans)
- (grunts, groans)
- Oh, no!
Are you hurt?
Because I can
clear your schedule
if you are.
(slurping)
(sighs)
Mmm yea-- yes!
Ow! Yes, I'm hurt!
Oh, my ankle!
It hurts so bad!
Oh, pobrecita.
Let's get you home!
- (sirens blaring)
- (whistles)
Yo! First-responder!
We need a ride, stat!
(imitating siren)
(chuckles)
What is going on?
Lu twisted her ankle
after fighting
the good fight.
A twisted ankle?
It doesn't look bad.
But you have been running
yourself ragged lately,
so you probably should
get some rest.
And if you need anything,
all you have to do is ask.
A cookie? Oh, you meant her.
Thank you, Mimi.
Okay, you stay in bed, now.
(yawns) Sorry to miss
the photo shoot, Case.
Nope, nope. Do not
think about it.
You take care of you, boo.
I'll just tell Jean-Michelangelo
we need to cancel.
Oh, and call off
the 2,000 doves I ordered.
And the Parisian
stilt-walkers.
Jean-Michelangelo,
Ms. Goldberg-Calderon here.
Uh, look, there's no
easy way to say this,
but we need to--
(gulps) c-- ca--
No! No! (groans)
We're not--
We're not cancelling.
I thought we just went
over this. You need to rest.
Also, please never
touch my phone again.
But what if, you know,
Lunella rests
while Moon Girl
goes to the photo shoot?
(gasps) You've finally
finished that cloning device?
- Mazel tov!
- (party horns blowing)
Yeah, honey, not quite.
I just had
something else in mind.
Casey Maria Eva
Duarte Goldberg-Calderon,
you are going to
the photo shoot as Moon Girl!
- Yay!
- What?!
♪
(grunting) Here they are.
And bonus: you get to beta-test
my new prototype
helmet and suit.
This lid will cover
your whole face.
And the suit's spandex
is extra sweat-wicking,
and you know, girl,
you look good in yellow!
Like literal sunshine,
but just FYI:
all the jumpy-fighty
superhero stuff you do
is way out of
my comfort zone.
Yeah, but it's a photoshoot!
So, no jumpy-fighty
stuff necessary.
And this way, you get
your amazing shots
for the website.
Now, go Moon Girl it up!
Finally gonna
get a break! ♪
- Aah!
- (growls)
Okay, so maybe my ankle
isn't twisted.
But D, I am beat, all right?
I just-- I need a minute!
And I don't wanna
let Casey down,
so this way,
we both win, right?
(groans, whines)
Just-- Just help
her out, won't ya?
(snarling)
Thanks, D.
And you two will be fine.
Ta-da! Question mark?
(gasps) All right.
I mean, as a certain
PR maven/personal stylist
once told me:
You wear the suit.
Don't let the suit wear you.
(groans) My own brilliance
used against me.
Yes!
- Uh
- (groans)
- (snarls)
- User error, sorry!
Yeah, I should disable that.
I'll be back in a jiff.
Sounds great. I'm super pumped!
Loving this whole thing.
I'm hating this whole thing!
I don't want to do this!
- (grunt)
- But she's hurt
and can't do
her Moon Girl thing,
so I gotta step up on my end.
Gotta carry my own weight.
- I can't let her down, D.
- (groans)
Just help me out, won't ya?
(snarl)
I was gonna set it to "stun,"
but I then thought,
"Why stun when you can dazzle?"
- (gasps)
- Ooh!
So you ready? We cool?
So ready! So cool!
(groan)
Okay, Big Red. Vámonos!
Whoa! Ah!
- (screams)
- (crash)
(groans)
- JEAN-MICHAELANGELO: Red friend.
- (grunts)
Look up. Higher! Gorgeous.
Now, be fierce. Both of you.
Run through jungle!
Magnifique, I love it!
We are crushing this!
And Devil, you really know
how to work your angles!
Ow, ow!
(snarls)
(camera shutter clicking)
(ringing)
(slurping)
(ringing)
(ringing)
(ringing)
(ringing)
(no audible laughter)
(all ringing)
(record scratching)
Hoo-hoo!
What was I so worried about?
Superhero-ing is
a cat-walk in the park!
Ooh! Let's get
a pint of ice cream
- and bring it back to Lunella.
- (grunt)
She can ice her ankle with it
until it's melty enough to eat!
So everybody wins!
- (tires squeal)
- Yo, Moon Girl!
(gasps)
Can I get a autograph?
(nervous sigh)
Of course!
(panicked growl)
(Casey) Forgot my name
for a quick sec.
(chuckles) Crazy, heh.
- I know Lu--
- Can we take a photo with you?
- Really wanted us to--
- Can I have your autograph?
- Get home as soon as--
- Can we take a photo with you?
- We could, so let's go down--
- Please kiss my baby.
Can we take a photo with you?
- Signatures!
- (groans)
Can we take a photo with you?
(yelps) Uh, what was I saying?
(sighs) I think I might be
getting sick of attention?
Can that be right?
How do you handle everyone
staring at you all the time?
Like, like-- What?!
Ah, haha. Hi. What can I
help you with, sweet child?
Can you please
untangle my yo-yo?
(fingers pulsating)
Moon Girl to the rescue.
- Ow! Ow! Ow!
- (gasps)
(slurping)
Mimi!
Ring it again. I dare you.
Do we have any--
- Ginger ale?
- (gasps)
- How did--
- I know my baby.
(groans)
(pants)
(groaning)
Aha!
- (slurping)
- Explain.
- (crowd cheering)
- (groans, yelps)
- (humming)
- (shrieks)
Help! Help!
Oh, Fiddlesticks!
My poor kitty Fiddlesticks
is stuck in a tree!
Ain't ya gonna help her,
Moon Girl?
I'm really more of
a dog person. (sighs)
But yes, of course.
Moon Girl can't let
her adoring public down.
I just gotta
Heh If I
That was, uh, part of
(exclaiming)
Under control, heh!
Aah! Whoa! Hey!
Whoa! Oh! Aah!
- (beeping)
- Psst! Psst! Uh
Beyonder here.
Just a reminder,
we've seen that cape before.
Abyss is a fifth-generation
supervillain.
Her mom was Abyss,
her grandma was Abyss,
her great-grandma
you get the idea.
She doesn't super love
being a supervillain,
but with a family like that,
what choice do you have?
She's got an image
to keep up,
and after Moon Girl
defeated her,
she's ready for revenge.
You stay and watch,
I'll go get popcorn.
Come here, kitty, kitty!
(nervous chuckle)
Help a girl out, will ya?
- (air escaping)
- Whoa
Ha! It was a trap!
You humiliated me, Moon Girl,
so now I'm gonna make you
look super dumb.
Me?! Uh, but I--
Whoa! (grunts)
(grunts)
Hurry, Devil! Eek!
Devil, Moon Girl's
gotta fight!
People can't see
her-slash-me run away!
(grumbling)
Come back
and be scared of me!
I'm trying! Devil, in the name
of brand management,
put me down! (exclaims)
(roaring)
(groans)
Ha-ha!
She can evaporate?!
Is that new? I don't love it.
(groans) Devil, don't you
dare call Lunella
AUTOMATED PHONE VOICE:
Calling Lunella.
CASEY: when she's supposed
to be resting! (groans)
- (vibrating)
- And that explains
how Frances Arnold won
the Nobel Prize for her use
of directed evolution
to engineer new enzymes!
Little girl,
when I said "explain,"
I meant why you lied
about your ankle.
- But you knew that.
- (sighs)
Fine. (groans) I was supposed
to do this thing with Casey,
but I've just been so tired
between school and the rink
and studying and, uh, extracurriculars,
that I feel like
I'm gonna snap!
So I lied.
You lied because
you needed a break?
I'm sorry.
And I know you're mad.
I know it's hard,
but it's important for you
to tell people what you need.
Not enough girls
feel like they can do that.
I know I didn't
when I was your age.
- You didn't?
- Goodness, no!
I wanted to please everybody.
And asking for what I needed
felt like I was being a burden
I feel so seen.
But telling the people
that love you what you need
doesn't hurt them.
They want to support you,
and they can't do that
if you don't tell them how.
Unless you've built a
mind-reading device
I don't know about. Have you?
- I'm going out my mind ♪
- (grunting, exclaiming)
(screaming)
Eh, it doesn't work.
So, I guess I'll just have
to work on being honest
with the people I love.
Thanks, Mimi.
This talk is just
what I needed.
Anytime.
And if there's ever
anything else
you need to talk to me about -
anything at all -
you can be honest with me.
I'm ready to hear it.
Moon Girl Magic! ♪
Okay
- (sighs)
- (phone buzzing)
- (Casey) Lunella!
- Aah! Casey?
(groans) You are in big trouble
in Little Italy, hermano.
I refuse to believe
this is for my own good!
(growling, grunting)
D? What's goin' on?
Where's Casey?
(growling)
- Abyss? At San Gennaro?
- (growling)
Okay, all right, all right,
I'm on my way!
Mimi! There's
something I need!
Ugh. Fine.
I'll just have
to make you come out
Moon Girl.
(grunts, exclaims)
Oh, Moon Girl!
I'm causing trouble
and making you look bad!
- (groans)
- Let me go!
Moon Girl has to help!
(groans) Her reputation
is at stake!
(crowd screaming)
(gasps)
(cackles)
Instantly regretting
this decision.
(engine revving)
Where to, baby?
Little Italy. And step on it.
Casey really needs help
with a school project.
Come on, ol' girl,
don't give out on me now.
- Here we go!
- Aah!
(gasps) Watch out!
Jump on three!
- What?!
- And three!
Uh I think we're off track.
Ha! Are we?
(screaming)
(grunts)
Uh, here's good!
(brakes squealing)
- Thanks, Mimi!
- Anytime, baby.
Good luck with that project!
Moon Girl magic!
(pants) I'm coming, Casey!
(yelps) Aah!
(slow-motion scream)
(grunts, exclaiming)
(exclaims)
Ow! The bitter pain
of karmic justice!
(crying)
(exclaiming)
Whoa!
(growling)
(grunting)
(grunting)
(gasping)
- (grunting)
- LUNELLA: Freeze!
Huh?
(moaning)
Yeah, that hurt!
How did you get there?
Did you evaporate?
That's my thing!
Don't steal my thing!
Oh. There are two of you now.
You should be in bed.
Devil and I got this!
(gasps) I don't got this!
Please save me!
(grunts)
(growl)
- (groans)
- Are you okay?
Not totally.
But I'm ready to tell you
what I need to be okay.
(snaps fingers)
(ragtime piano music playing)
First, I need you to duck!
(piano music playing)
Left!
Right!
(music continues)
- I need you to drop me!
- Okay!
(grunts)
(music stops)
(howling)
Whoo! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
We did it!
Was that some serious
BFF action, or what?
Right?! Yo,
I was all, "Do this!"
- Yeah, you were!
- And you were like,
-"On it! Pa-chow!"
- (laughs)
- Pa-chow!
- (both laughing)
(sighs) Seriously, Casey,
thank you so much for your help.
Nah, chica. Thank you.
If I hadn't messed up today,
you wouldn't have needed
to come save me.
No, no, no. If I hadn't
faked being hurt,
you wouldn't have had
to be Moon Girl
- in the first place.
- Wait. What?
You're not really hurt?
Well, now, I am, sure.
But I wasn't this morning.
I I lied.
Oh
Is this how my dads feel
when they say,
"I'm not mad,
I'm just disappointed?"
Yeah. I'm sorry.
I needed a day off, but I was
so scared of letting you down.
I mean, you put so much work
into organizing that photoshoot.
I know how important it was.
Yeah, it was important,
but not as important as you.
And I know, I get it.
I mean, I really get it now.
Being Moon Girl
is relentless.
You've gotta
take breaks sometimes.
- Oh! (chuckles)
- Mm.
You know, I never learned
to ask for what I need.
I don't even like being evil.
Maybe Maybe if I
told people what I wanted--
(shushing)
You're my best friend.
I don't even care
that this suit
smells like garbage!
Why does the suit
smell like garbage?
I'll tell you later.
- (crashing)
- (Devil gasps)
Uh that's not great.
Hey, Mom? It's Abyss.
Uh, I've decided
to get out of the whole
"supervillain" thing,
and-- and I-- and I'm
asking you for help.
Here's what I need.
Oh, wow. I actually think
she's gonna be okay.
And if she comes back,
and you need help--
I will def ask for it.
But now, here's what
I think we all need
So, this is what
downtime feels like.
I could get used to this.
Yeah! No superhero-ing,
no photoshoots,
no social media--
That didn't count,
it was my personal account!
(growls)
- We're just kids tonight, Case.
- Yeah.
But that phone
better be real clean
when you give it back to me.
- (happy growl)
- (laughing)
(ragtime music playing)
