Lights out, Moon Girl!
Ahh!
(grunts)
Sorry, Nox.
You think
I'm scared of the dark?
- I'm not scared of anything.
- (growls)
(whirring)
- (grunts)
- Oh yeah!
Your girl made a glow-up suit!
I had fifth period free.
(yells)
(roars)
(Moon Girl grunts)
Devil said Nox you out!
Ayy!
The Snailien knows
she's hiding in the closet
he's sliming down the hall
he's getting closer
BOTH: Ahh!
Coney Island, baby!
We're going!
(glass shatters)
Tomorrow's Granville
T. Woods Day at the park.
They're honoring him
by reopening
his greatest invention:
The electric rollercoaster!
And guess who's gonna be first
in line for the Hurricane?
Woo-hoo!
I can not wait!
Adrenaline does wonders
for my complexion.
Oh, did I just assume
I was invited again?
Pfft-- you know you're coming!
And look at that
big frozen smile
on my sweet baby's face!
Me and my girls are gonna
conquer Coney Island!
Yeah, girl!
Uh, Lu? Can you get the lights?
We got a big day tomorrow.
I don't wanna go.
What? Why?
I'm I'm scared
of Coney Island.
You? Scared?
(chuckles) Nuh uh.
Nuh uh.
I've seen you face
creepy aliens, killer cyborgs
You even conquered a sleepover!
You battle scary things
all the time.
What's there to be scared of
at Coney Island?
The blinding lights,
the smothering crowds,
the dizzying rides?
Pure nightmare fuel.
But it all goes back
to something
that happened to me in
the Chuckle Hole.
- The funhouse?
- House? Yes. Fun? Hardly.
Cue flashback!
I was five years-old
on my first ever trip
to Coney Island.
I loved it all.
The lights, the smells,
the other smells
- But then
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(grunts)
Lunella!
(grunts)
Mimi?! Mimi?
Mimi!
(pants)
Mimi?
(dramatic music)
(door creaks)
(recorded cackling)
Mimi!
- (recorded cackling)
- Mimi?
Ahh!
Ahh! Ahh!
(grunts, screams)
(grunts)
(recorded cackling)
(gasps)
Ahh!
- (grunts)
- (recorded cackling)
(screaming)
- (recorded cackling continues)
- Ahh! Mimi!
(recording slows down)
It's okay baby, I got you.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, you were just a little
Lunellita when that happened.
You shouldn't let that
get in the way
of an awesome
day with Mimi.
Yeah, I know.
I wanna be fearless, like her.
You are! You are
the bravest person I know.
You're a full-fledged,
real-deal,
undenied and bonafide superhero!
Yeah. Yeah, you're right!
And superheroes
aren't afraid of anything!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
No
(dramatic music)
(screaming)
(gasps)
You sure you don't
want a sno-cone?
No, I'm good. Thanks.
I always eat something colorful
before I go on rides.
Then if I barf,
it's like, "ooh!"
Okay, I'm not scared.
I'm not scared.
Who's scared?
Pfft, ha! Not this girl.
Ahh!
BEYONDER: Well, well,
who's that
handsome fella?
Remember me?
The Beyonder.
All-knowing, all-powerful,
all-around great guy,
here to study the human race.
(laughs) Ooh, I see my favorite
guide to all things Earthling
Lunella Lafayette.
Ooh, hope she's not still
mad about that time
I tried to wipe out humanity.
Hey, the ride is
gonna be fine.
Just breathe
But not too deep, it's low tide.
No, he's back. The Beyonder.
(laughs)
Uh, Mimi? You know what?
I'm gonna grab
a sno-cone after all.
Hold my spot.
(classical music playing)
- (chuckles, grunts)
- (alarm bell rings)
D! I need you at Coney, ASAP.
Things are about to
get weird, and I--
(grunts)
(growls)
Lunella!
You're just in time
I'm learning about food!
Since you're
the smartest there is,
guess how many of these
I can fit in my mouth:
Infinity!
(grunts)
What's up with you?
All right, I don't know what
you're up to today,
but I really don't
need this today.
Your heart is racing, your
adrenaline levels are cranked,
and (sniffs)
there's a rank moisture
exuding from your pores.
I've heard of this!
It's the human weakness called--
Fee air
Furr!
(groans) It's fear!
Mm-hmm. That's what I said.
And I don't have it, okay?
Okay, fam.
I'm a super-hero!
And superheroes don't do "fear."
And I'm not some silly
five-year-old kid
trapped in a funhouse
with a creepy clown!
Oddly specific.
And listen, I just came here
to have a good time
with Mimi.
Well, I just came here to
research food
but researching fear
sounds much more fun.
Bye, Beyonder!
- Let's make a deal--
- Hard pass.
If you can prove to me
you're not afraid,
I'll leave you alone to have fun
with your grammykins.
I don't have a choice, do I?
You'll thank me later.
That's statistically un--
likely!
Ugh! That stupid
space-face!
Huh! Oh, yeah, I'll show him.
I'm gonna kick my fear today.
I'm gonna obliterate it
straight out of existence
and prove how brave I am.
Whoo! Let's go, girls!
I will crush this ride
like a champ!
(exciting music playing)
(car horns honking)
(grunts)
- (yelps)
- (chuckles)
(gasps, grunts)
(growls)
(whimpers)
(grunts)
(snarls)
- (squeaks)
- You okay there, baby?
Of course, I'm not scared!
Uh, I didn't--
What is there to be afraid of?
We're completely safe.
So no, I'm not scared at all!
Well, that's a shame.
(screaming)
- (Mimi laughs)
- Que chevere!
Where to next, Mimi?!
To the Jolly Toggler!
- (groans)
- Lunella.
- Ahhh!
- Still sweaty. Still smelly.
Still scared. Ain't ya?
Oh, nah, I'm chillin'.
- (gasps)
- Wonderful!
But just to be sure
you won't mind if I run
a few more teensy tiny tests?
Oh, pfft, yes!
Cool. It's whatevs.
Then I'm 'bout to juice this up!

Hey, Devil Dinosaur!
You coming to Staten Island?
- (grunts)
- (forg horn blares)
(growls)
Whoo! Was the carousel
always that fast?
(lips smack)
I think I can taste time now.
How do you do it, Mimi?
How do you go on all these rides
without being scared?
What are you going on about?
Of course I'm scared!
- You are?
- Terrified!
That's kinda the point.
There's nothing wrong
with being scared.
Yeah, there is.
- What'd you say, baby?
- Oh, uh, nothing.
You guys go ahead
on the next ride without me.
I'm gonna sit this one out.
Nope! That's far enough.
Your smell of fear
is fierce! Ugh!
Okay! Then jam some churros
up your nose and leave me alone.
I have no idea
how Moon Girl survives.
What kind of a superhero
gets so scared?
Well, right now I'm not a--
(gasps) That's it!
I'm not Moon Girl
the superhero right now,
I'm Lunella!
That's the problem!
Interesting hypothesis.
Let's see if you're right!
Hold up what are you gonna--
Wha-- Wait!
Moon Girl magic!
Moon Girl to the rescue!
(Silent movie style music plays)
- (audio muted)
- (music continues)
(no audible screaming)
- (normal audio resumes)
- (panting)
Enough! Are you happy now?
I saved everyone!
Ah, yes, you did
but you still failed.
That flop sweat you're
getting all over me
says you were terrified
the whole time.
But-- I-- I--
(sighs) I was terrified.
And I don't know how to fix it.
BEYONDER: Have you tried
a sweat-wicking spandex?
No, I mean,
I gotta get over this!
What if something truly
horrendous happens,
and I mess it up because
I'm a big scaredy-chicken?
Fear not.
Your friendly neighborhood
Beyonder is here to help!
- Are you though?
- You said it yourself:
The only way to get you
out of your funk--
(sniffs)
And you are funky--
is to make something
truly horrendous happen!
Okay, that is not what I said.
Again, you'll thank me later.
Now what do you
fear the most?
(gasps) Think about poofy
clouds and dogs in costumes
That won't work.
Ha! Cute dog, though.
No, lemme roll this back
- Gotta do it ♪
- No
- (zapping)
- No.
Ah, here we go!
Lunella!
Mimi?!
Mimi?
(cackling)
It's okay, baby.
(evil chuckle)
BEYONDER:
Beyond the blinding lights,
the smothering crowds,
the dizzying rides
You're afraid of
losing someone you love.
That's your true fear.
Please.
Please no!
(grunts)
Bring her back.
I'll do anything.
Mimi is somewhere in the park.
You have ten minutes
to find her,
or I'll take her
to another dimension
Forever, if I wasn't clear.
(whirring)
Mimi? No! Mimi?!
Ahhh!
- (yelps)
- (snarling)
Ahh!
(grunts)
Whoa! (grunts)
(grunts)
Mimi?!
(dramatic music)
No. Anywhere but here.
(fog horn blows)
(seagulls squawk)
(growls)
(grunts)
(thunder crashes)
(whimpers)
(grunts)
(groans)
(growls)
(grunts)
(roars)
(thunder crashes)
Uh, Lu? Mimi?
(foreboding music)
Lu! Are you okay?
Where's Mimi?
Uh
(thunder crashes)
Well, we gotta go get her!
Ah! I'm gonna
freeze up in there!
If those scary clowns
don't grab me by the throat,
my own fear will,
and I'll panic and-- and--
I'll lose Mimi!
How can I--
(roars)
Devil! Oh, you're here!
You're wet?
How'd you get so soaked?
(grunts)
You swam?
But what about jellyfish?
How did you get over
your fear of--
(whimpers, grunts)
You didn't?
Wow. I-- I've been thinking
about this all wrong.
Oh, my gosh! Remember
back when we started,
what was it you said?
My grandma once told me
bravery is what you do
when you're flat-out scared.
That's it! Is Mimi some
kind of secret mastermind?
'Cause she was a thousand steps
ahead of us the whole time.
BOTH: Old people are the best.
(snarling)
Okay, look-- you guys
hold off this horde of
whatever they are.
I'm goin' in to save Mimi.
Oh, wait! Mimi can't
see you as Moon Girl!
(chuckles)
Then it's Lunella to the rescue.
(door creaks)
- (exclaims)
- Ahh!
- You made it!
- I know she's here.
- Give her back.
- Ah-ah-ah.
Test isn't over.
There's plenty left
to scare you inside.
(recorded cackling)
Mimi?
Where are you?
Mimi!
(recorded cackling)
(gasps)
- (roars)
- (recorded cackling)
(gasps)
(hip hop beat)
I've been a lonely girl ♪
I've been a lonely girl ♪
Though I'm ready
For the world ♪
When will you
When will you help me out? ♪
You can't even pick me out
Of the crowd ♪
Oh and I
I don't need you anymore ♪
So then why am I
Standing at your door? ♪
Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
I've been a lonely girl ♪
I've been a lonely girl ♪
Oh I'm ready for the world ♪
Oh I'm ready for the world ♪
Well I'm ready
for the world ♪
(thud)
Marvelous! Just marvelous!
Fear isn't something
I need to get over,
it's something
I need to get through.
It won't hold me back
anymore!
I'm so glad
I could help you learn
and grow.
(snoring)
Told you you'd thank me.
(grunts)
Hey! Hey, Mimi!
- (snoring)
- You okay?
Hm? Oh oh, sure.
I just got the most
interesting tour of Coney--
Not sure how
I ended up here though.
(gasps)
- Lu!
- (chuckle)
You still feelin' scared, baby?
Terrified.
Coney Island, baby!
And facing off in David's
Famous Hotdog Eating Contest
is a surprise contender
- Devil Dinosaur!
- (cheering)
Ready, and Go!
- (chomping)
- (crowd gasps)
(munching)
(chuckles)
(cheering)
Huh?
(chuckles)
Whee!
Whoo!
(laughter)
(both gasp)
- Oh, my.
- (retching)
- CASEY: Ooh!
- LUNELLA: Rainbow!
Ooh, you again.
Thanks for the tour.
I don't think I got your name.
Your granddaughter may have
faced her biggest fear today,
but you're about to face yours.
They're coming for you
Mimi.
