[Dancing Machine beatboxing]
Shake your groove thang! Ha!
Make like a sprinkler!
[all laughing]
Can you handle the lawnmower?
[all laughing]
Guys, I I gotta go.
Go? Why? Where?
But I got more grooves to show ya!
Sorry, it's, uh my fish.
Did you say "fish"?
Yeah, he's, uh
Oh, he real like, uh Hmm
Yeah, he is, uh, sick!
Yeah, he's he's sick.
Uh Bye!
[Angie] Hmm. Huh?
[beatboxing]
Since when did Mickey own a sick fish?
Or even a healthy one?
He's been acting weird repeatedly,
continually.
I mean, all of the time lately.
Take a look.
He keeps leaving in the middle
of our games, uh, like softball.
[both grunt]
And jump rope.
[panting]
Whoa!
He even left in the middle of one on one.
[Angie] He left during basketball?
That's gotta be a new record in weirdness.
Maybe he doesn't want to
hang out with us anymore.
Huh! Um, come on. Don't talk crazy.
We're the coolest,
most hangoutable people
Ahhh!
[sighs]
[school bell rings]
I can't hang out with you today, guys.
Sorry.
Still nursing that fish
back to health, huh?
Fish?
Oh. Oh, oh, no. He's okay.
All swimming again. Ha ha!
It's just me and, um
Oh, me and Dad, uh,
we're gonna go see the stars, you know?
Uh, Dad wants to teach me astrolonomy.
Uh, astronomy?
That too, that too!
Uh, dusting off the old periscope.
Telescope?
Right. So, uh, I'll catch you guys
tomorrow, huh?
Told you he doesn't want to
hang out with us.
But where's he going instead?
I know how to expose, um, reveal
I mean, to find that out. Come on!
Detective Ben Love is on the case.
Detective Love? [laughing]
-Yeah.
-Oh, okay. [laughs]
Sorry, Detective Love.
ABC, easy as one, two, three.
Hey, Benny. Hey, Ange!
-What's with the skinny, Binny?
-[laughs]
How's it goin', Benny Boy?
How'd you like to be
on my crack surveillance team?
Sounds totally funkadelic! [laughs]
You betcha!
Uh, what's a surveillance team?
[beeps] Mickey's on the move.
Yeah, if someone spied on me,
I'd put chili sauce in their ice cream!
Mickey won't tell us what he's doing,
so he left us no choice.
[chuckles] But Mickey's as loyal
and reliable as my engine.
[engine hiccups] Oops!
Huh?
There's no way he heard that.
He might have heard that.
Yeah, he heard that.
I've lost visual contact, over.
It's okay.
We've found the target.
Settle in for a stakeout, everyone.
[laughs] Roger that! Steaks comin' up!
-[laughs] Mine's the diesel expresso.
-[Ben slurping]
Yeah, I guessed.
So, anything to report?
Yeah. If I'm not home soon,
I'll be in big trouble.
[kids talking]
That was so much fun, you guys.
I can't wait to do it again tomorrow.
Stephanie? And Hunter?
I don't believe it!
[Ben] Mickey's hanging out with them
instead of us?
Seen it with my own headlights.
Mickey's moved on.
I can't handle this. It's gotta stop.
[singing] Stop!
In the name of love ♪
Before you break my heart ♪
I'm aware of where you go ♪
Each time you leave my door ♪
I watch you walk down the street ♪
Knowing your other love you'll meet ♪
-Think it over ♪
-After I've been good to you ♪
-Think it over ♪
-After I've been sweet to you ♪
Okay, that's it!
I draw the line at cool handshakes.
This has to
Stop!
In the name of love ♪
Before you break my heart ♪
Stop!
In the name of love ♪
Before you break my heart ♪
Wait. Have you guys been spying on me?
Um, well, kind of.
But only 'cause you were evading,
avoiding
I mean, you wouldn't tell us
what you were doing!
Well, if you're gonna spy on me,
I'm definitely not gonna tell you.
Hmm.
[grunts]
[both] Hmph!
Oh
It's not that big of a deal.
Mickey can have other friends.
"No big deal"? "No big deal"?
But we we've been replaced!
And what do Stephanie and Hunter have
that we don't?
I've narrowed it down
to three potential reasons.
A, one of them owns a candy factory,
so they have an endless supply,
or B, they're secret superheroes
and have inducted him
into their superhero adventures.
Or C, you've officially lost your mind.
[school bell ringing]
[kids talking]
Mickey? Please tell Ben
you're still his friend.
Only if he says he's sorry for spying.
Yo! Will you hurry up
and say sorry to Mickey already?
Only when he apologizes for joining
a band of superheroes without telling us.
[grunts and laughs]
Guys, you're best friends.
This has gotta
[singing] Stop!
In the name of love ♪
Before you break my heart ♪
Stop!
In the name of love ♪
Before you break my heart ♪
Uh, uh! Whoa! Whoa!
Huh? Thanks.
Uh, no problem.
[sighs] Sorry. For, uh, spying on you,
I mean.
I'm sorry for not telling you
what I was doing.
And if you've found cooler friends
than us, I I get it.
[laughs] Cooler friends?
Nah! I gotta show you something.
[kids grunting]
-It's it's a school for ninjas!
-Close.
-It's a ballet class.
-[Mickey] Isn't this great?
I always wanted to try ballet,
and my dad says it's good
for my footwork on the court.
So, why the big secret?
I guess I didn't want you guys to see me
doing, like, beginner stuff.
I wanted to be able to show you
some cool moves, you know?
[grunting]
There's still room in the class,
if you've got what it takes.
Yeah, guys. It's real fun. Come on!
Okay, but there's someone else
who needs to see this.
[music playing]
Uh, oh, oh! Whoa!
[beatboxing]
Grooviest dance style ever!
[humming]
Whoa! Don't know what you were
so worried about, Mickey.
You nailed this already!
[chuckles] Hey, thanks, Benny.
