Life At The End of The Tunnel

1
Mmm.
I'm just gonna put it out there
and people can talk about it
all they want.
I love cereal.
Nobody wants to talk about that.
Yesterday you said
you loved scrambled eggs.
And the day the day before
you loved waffles.
My gosh, you're right.
Why is love so complicated?
Okay, people,
I've got big plans for today.
Let me guess, you're finally gonna take
Mount Laundry-Manjaro
to the washing machine?
No.
And it's not a mountain
until it reaches the ceiling.
I know. You're gonna
get rid of the stuffed panda
you're too ashamed to admit
you still sleep with?
Stop guessing.
I'm cashing in my golden ticket
for the tour of the Snickering factory
Erlic promised me.
That is big news.
And you're definitely not a baby
'cause you sleep with a stuffed animal.
Can we please focus on finding out
what Old Man Snickering is up to?
He mind controlled me
with glowing red eyes.
And he made me quit SWEATI.
I'm not waiting around
for him to make his next move.
Remy, calm down.
We have to think this through.
You will help me take down
Theodore Snickering.
Are you trying to mind control me?
No.
Did it work?
Oh, hey, Erlic.
I've been meaning to ask.
Do you want to be my BAB-GAB?
Your what now?
"Buy a boba, get a boba."
So, want to meet me after school?
My treat.
I'd love to be your BAB-GAB.
But can we just call it hangin' out?
Sounds good to me.
Hey, I'm really glad
we're back to whatever this is.
Me too. I'll see you later.
Yo, Erlic. SWEATI's ready
to cash in on that golden ticket
and finally get a tour of the factory.
Yeah, about that.
I'm afraid it's off the table
due to your borderline obsession
with my family.
Borderline? He's way past that.
Not to mention, my great-granddad
has forbidden any outsiders
from coming to visit right now.
Suspicious.
You know I can hear you.
Look, I'll give you that tour.
Just not today.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Why does he pay for snacks
when his family owns
the vending machine?
No.
We need to find another way
to get into the factory.
Yeah, I was thinking that too.
Hey, Grim.
Long time, no reflection.
So, what's the haps?
Well, Erlic has the talisman
back on his wrist.
Now that we know
Theodore's power is mind control,
we're staying far away
from him and the mansion.
No one is gonna red eye us.
Good, good.
We must stay sharp.
You don't have to worry about me.
I will not be distracted from
Ooh! are those churros? Ow.
Listen,
Theodore is ramping up to something big.
I don't know what it is, but I
I feel it in my bones.
So, as Frankie's guardians
now more than ever,
I need you to stay by her side
all times.
On it!
He's kinda literal.
I got your emergency text
and I ran all the way here.
What's the news? Wait,
I think I'm gonna throw up.
Nope. Okay, now tell me.
I think I found a way
to get into the
Snickering's Finest Factory.
That's it?
I could've just skipped here for that.
Remember how our school was built
over the old Snickering factory?
I was looking at the maps again
and found tunnels right under out feet.
Check out the map. The tunnels
start right behind this rectangle!
So all we have to do
is find that rectangle.
You're leaning on it.
The Schmeat machine.
Beautiful in its simplicity.
Like you.
Boom.
The entrance to the tunnels
has to be behind this,
so let's try and move it.
Good thing I've been working out.
Ugh, it's welded to the wall.
What are you two doing?
Uh, uh, this stupid vending machine
stole my money.
Yeah, right.
Out of the way,
I want some O'Schmeaties.
Allow me.
M'lady.
Uh No, thank you?
Okay, she's gone.
There has to be a way
to get into these tunnels.
According to the map,
the coordinates for the entrance is C5.
There's a C and a five on here.
That's gotta mean something.
Yeah, but what?
I mean, here's row C.
C1, C2, C3, C4, C
Wait a second.
It only goes from C4 to C6.
The C5 is missing.
Well, someone here
isn't doing their job.
No. The reason there's no C5
is because they don't want us
to push it.
We are so pushing it.
Allow me.
My mom says
I'm great at pushing buttons.
Carson, yes, we did it!
There's no code
that SWEATI can't crack.
That's why you're the brains
and I'm the muscle.
Let's do this.
It's tunnel time!
What's up, Remy? Make it quick.
I'm meeting Erlic for boba
and no, I can't get you one.
I need you to do me a favor.
Can you tell Mom and Dad I'll be
a smidge late for dinner tonight?
Um, why?
Carson and I did
some genius SWEATI work,
and we found a secret underground tunnel
behind the school's vending machine.
I'm pretty sure it leads to
the Snickering factory.
There's also a cool echo down here.
Factory!
Remy, are you out of your mind?
That sounds all kinds of dangerous.
Get out!
How do you know it's dangerous?
Remy, have you ever seen a movie
with a secret underground tunnel
that wasn't dangerous?
Good point.
You could get hurt or lost,
or develop tunnel rash.
Come out now or I'll drag you out.
Sorry, Frankie, but I'm not leaving
until this mission is complete.
I'm getting that factory tour.
Plus, I have Carson by my side.
We'll be fine. Right, Carson?
Carson?
I think I lost Carson.
Everything okay, Frankie?
'Cause your face is saying, "not okay."
Remy and Carson are lost
in a secret tunnel thingy
and I have to save them.
I can't let them get tunnel rash.
Ooh, tunnel rash.
You don't want it.
Well, I'm in to help track them down.
Secret tunnels sound
more exciting than doing fractions.
Actually, Nyx,
I need a different favor from you.
Can you stall Erlic
at the boba shop until I get there?
Please?
Why would anyone want
to explore secret tunnels
when you can hang out
with your wannabe boyfriend.
I mean, yay!
Oh, no! It's Floor Buff Friday!
We can't be in school after hours
without a valid reason.
Oh, when that buffer gets going
it's like a beast that cannot be tamed.
Hey, Brian.
I mean, 'sup.
What are you doing here?
Detention. I got caught
freeing the Snickering Willows spider
from the science lab.
Wilma? That was you? Cool.
Spiders are important
to our ecosystem and bonus,
if you get bit by one,
you could become a superhero.
Or you could get poisoned.
I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow.
Well, detention calls.
Don't do the crime
if you can't do the time.
That's it!
Detention is a perfect excuse
to be here after school.
Follow Brian.
I can't go to detention.
They'll eat me alive.
You heard what Grim said,
we gotta stay close to Frankie.
Brian, three days in a row.
Going for the school record?
Hey, freedom isn't free, dude.
Oh, go sit down.
Hey, what're you three doing here?
We have detention.
I don't see your names on my list.
And I know bad apples.
That's not you.
We are bad apples.
Today I put a big glob of gum
under my desk.
I always do that.
Look, I don't care
if you started a food fight.
If your names aren't on my list
Stop!
Then you shouldn't be here.
Did you try the second page?
Oh. Will you look at that?
All right.
Well, get in here, you delinquents.
Hey, Erlic! How's it goin'?
Great. I'm just here to meet Frankie.
I'm excited.
We're kind of close to being back to
Whatever we were.
Congrats?
Uh, she's running a little late.
But good news is,
she's coming,
she's definitely coming.
Yeah, no biggie.
Have a seat.
Yeah, we'll just chat.
So, how's it goin'?
Did you get a lot of homework?
Same amount as yesterday.
Yeah, me too.
It's your turn to talk.
Oh. All right, all right.
I got nothing. Sorry, I'm
I'm not good at small talk.
Me neither.
Hey, look at that.
Something we have in common.
I don't think it helps us
in this situation.
- Let me go text her.
- Yeah.
I'm sure she's on her way.
Frankie, where are you?
Ooh, I got dots. I got dots!
Tell Erlic I'll be there
as soon as I ca
No phones in detention.
- Can you hit send on that?
- No.
Now, for the next hour and a half,
you are mine.
You are to sit quietly.
I don't wanna hear a peep.
Okay, phase one complete.
Phase two, go to the tunnels
and find Remy.
Phase three, Erlic and I
drink bobas happily ever after.
How are we gonna do that?
I don't know.
I'm figuring it out as I go.
Mr. Aston, can Pretty, Scary,
and I go to the bathroom?
Can I run to my locker real quick?
Grab a snack from the vending machine?
I'll get you something. On me.
Are you gonna make me
triple tap the sign?
There's always gotta be a troublemaker.
I got my eye on you, Frankie Ripp.
This stinks.
It's the worst.
It's perfect.
What up, detention dudes?
Not now, I'm trying to think.
Save that for the classroom.
Detention is for letting your mind
free-range graze.
Frankie needs to bust out of here
but can't get past Mr. Aston.
Hmm, you're in luck.
Aston is about to excuse himself
and say,
"There better be no monkey business
while I'm gone."
Then he'll hit the teacher's lounge,
polish off faculty fridge leftovers,
then nap it off.
Are you messing with me?
Three, two
I'll be back.
There better be no monkey business
while I'm gone.
Yeah. I'm in here a lot.
Okay, I'm gonna go find Remy.
- Which one of you wants to come?
- Him.
Or you can go and I can hang with Brian.
Oh, you wanna hang with Ow!
Okay, I'll go to the tunnel.
Good. Scary, you and Brian
keep eyes on Mr. Aston.
And if he comes back before we do,
cover for us.
Tell me more about detention.
How do you think we get in?
Maybe I can shimmy in
through the drop slots?
Give me a sec to stretch.
Ah! My head will be the tough part.
As much as I'd love to see that,
the door is already open.
Remy!
Remy!
Frankie! I'm here!
Phone's dead.
Carson's status, still unknown!
Stay where you are.
I'm coming in to get you.
Me too!
And by me, I mean Pretty.
I'm also here!
Stay close
and use this box of Schmeat Gobblers
to drop a trail so we don't get lost.
Okay. One for the floor, one for me.
How much longer are you gonna be?
Call me back.
Scratch that, just get here.
Oh.
I'll pay for this later.
Look what I got.
A muffin!
You can pay for it later.
Ugh. This was a mistake.
I should've never agreed
to meet up with Frankie.
I mean, if I can't trust her
to show up for boba,
how can I trust her at all?
Because I say you can.
Frankie's amazing and she'll do anything
for the people she's close to.
Since I moved here she's been nothing
but a great friend to me.
I thought so too.
But if she's so great,
why is she blowing me off?
It's not you.
Frankie just has a lot going on.
If she wants to ghost me,
you don't have to cover for her.
Uh, no! Don't go.
Just give Frankie the time
it takes to finish this muffin.
And chew slowly.
Thirty-two times per bite, they say.
I don't know who "they" is
but believe me, it's said.
We've been walking forever.
They've gotta be around here somewhere.
Oh, my gosh! There's a giant rat!
Never mind, it's just Remy.
Sorry to disappoint you.
But there was a giant rat back here.
Don't worry
we'll get you back to school.
Pretty's been leaving a trail
of Gobblers so we can retrace our steps.
Oops.
What happened to one for you,
one for the floor?
They're delicious.
Just forget it.
Let's find our way back.
Well, we can't leave without Carson.
Which way should we go?
What are we looking at?
What are we screaming at?
You!
Where have you been?
Let's just say I took a journey
into the darkness of my soul.
Also, I think I found
the way back to school.
Oh, I'm glad you're alive, buddy.
You might not wanna get too close.
Tunnel rash.
No hair, don't care.
I need to go to an all-vegan school.
Shh. He's gonna hear you.
No way, dude.
He blasts those tunes at like
a very unsafe decibel level.
How much time do we have left?
Not much, he shredded the appetizer
and now he's dominating
the main course.
The only thing he has left
is his catnap.
I've seen a lot of things,
but I've never seen a grown man
chug a bottle of barbecue sauce.
See, I told you
I'd make it back to the school.
Wait, why does it look
an old folk's home in here?
Carson,
you genius!
You lead us to the Snickering Mansion.
Yeah, I totally meant to do that!
Hey, this is not good!
Come on, we gotta get out of
Here.
I don't understand how this happened.
I thought we were heading
back to school.
We would be if someone had dropped
the trail of Gobblers
instead of eating them.
I regret nothin'.
So the tunnels connect to the school,
Snickering's Finest, and the mansion.
I can't believe so many mysteries
have been right under my feet.
Hey, SWEATI, why don't you
actually solve a mystery?
Help me find a way outta here.
Not with that attitude.
If we hurry, I can still
make it to boba with Erlic.
I was more worried about
being mind-controlled by Theodore,
but, yeah, let's focus
on your boyfriend troubles.
Stand back! I'm gonna push open
the bookcase so we can escape.
That's fine craftsmanship.
There has to be a secret button
or lever that'll open this bookcase.
Hey, guys, this book opens the bookcase.
Pull.
Pull the book again.
Pull the book longer.
Find something that we can
wedge under the book,
so the door can stay open,
so we can all escape.
Frankie?
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Oh. I get it.
You just asked me for boba
so you and the SWEATIs
could snoop around my house.
Erlic, it's not what it looks like.
It never is with you, is it?
This is a new low.
Even for you, Frankie.
Food coma to the rescue.
Oh, I've gotta get in there
and recycle that sandwich wrapper.
Oh. Uh, bad news.
That's a tuna melt,
and Mr. Aston and dairy disagree.
So we don't have
long before the fireworks.
And by fireworks, I mean like
Uh, I got it.
Um, we need a plan to stall him
when he wakes up.
He's been fed, burped, and napped.
What more can we do?
Erlic, the BAB-GAB was real.
I was on my way to meet you but then
my dumb brother got lost in the tunnels.
Hey! Carson was the one that got lost.
Hey! Pretty's the one
who ate all the Gobblers.
Hey!
Who goes next?
I'm tired of all your excuses.
Right now I don't trust anyone
with the last name Ripp.
You and I are still cool.
Erlic, I promise you
we just got turned around
in those tunnels.
We never meant to end up in your house.
Yeah, we were trying to get into
the Snickering's Finest Factory.
Oh
You mean the factory
I told you my great-grandfather
isn't allowing outsiders to visit?
Yep, that's the one.
You got a crooked "S."
Don't touch it.
You guys are unbelievable.
First, you have a mystery board
with my great-grandfather's face on it,
you question what's in Schmeat,
and now there are secret tunnels
under my house?
Seriously? That's the best
you could come up with?
We haven't even told you about
how he mind-controlled us.
Mind-control You know what,
I don't care!
I don't care, I'm done.
I don't ever wanna hear any
of your wild conspiracy stories.
It's so crooked, I can't help it!
Okay. Maybe just one more
wild conspiracy story.
Oh.
Thank you, nap app.
Another successful dine and recline.
Oh, where'd my shoes go?
Whoa, whoa
Whoa! "Slippery floor, dude."
Okay, I'm not doubting you anymore.
You were right about
my great-grandfather.
It's like I don't even know
who he really is.
And who's Grim?
Sebastian,
fetch me my warm prune juice.
Grim is short for the Grim Reaper.
I'll explain everything later,
but first will you help us
get outta here?
If you're asking I betray
my great-grandfather?
The answer is yes.
Now how'd you get in?
Through a secret entrance.
Just pull on this book
and the door will open.
And keep pulling until we all get out.
Trust me.
Whoa!
- There really are secret tunnels.
- Let's go.
Hey. You know you still owe me a boba.
I'll be there. This time.
Oh, and Erlic, one last thing.
Promise me you'll keep the bracelet on.
That's an odd request, but okay.
I see you've been sticking your nose
where it doesn't belong.
I I didn't mean to find it, sir.
Oh. Don't worry,
your pretty little head about it.
Well,
now that it's out in the open,
maybe you could explain yourself?
Well, of course.
Let me just start by saying
that it really doesn't matter.
Because you're not
gonna remember anything you saw.
Um
what were we talking about?
We were discussing snacks.
Would you care for a cookie?
Sounds good. Thanks.
Scary just texted.
Mr. Aston will be
back in detention any second.
Let's move.
Frankie!
Where have you been?
You had me worried sick, young lady.
Aw Can't talk, come with me.
Whoa!
- We made it.
- Just in time.
Oh, good.
Wait, am I in detention?
Hey.
Boy, this Floor Buff Friday is no joke.
I feel like a greased pig.
Oh, that's detention dismissal, dudes!
Freedom, sweet freedom.
Not so fast, nobody move.
Which one of you knuckleheads
took my shoes?
It'll be our little secret.
Like how you scarfed down
Miss Hendrick's tuna melt.
Detention dismissed.
