"I'm skateboarding." Max says. 

"Not anymore." Phoebe says and freezes the floor. 

"Oh, no!" Max says and falls. 

"Later, skater." Phoebe says and walks out the door.

 "Max." I say.

 "Yes?" he asks. 

"You're kinda in my way." I say and help him up. 

"Yeah thanks for the help." he says and I go down the slide.


"Whee!" Billy says going down the slide. 

"Whee!" Nora says. 

"Oh, not again!" Billy says and Nora lands on top of him. 

"Wait, why are you and Max hanging out? " Nora asks. 

"Yeah, and not fighting?" Billy asks. 

"You see it too? Good. I thought I was losing it." Colosso says. 

"We actually had fun today." Phoebe says. 

"yeah, it turns out if no one else is at school, Phoebe's all right." Max says. 

"Anyhow, we were--getting along. look." Phoebe says and turns the monitor around. 

"Snow? In school? No way. Pic pic." Billy says taking a picture. 

"A pic pic?" Nora says. 

"Yeah. It's a picture of a picture." Billy says. 

"That's not a thing." I say. 

"Then how did I just do it?" Billy asks. 

"What's that, up there on the wall?" I ask. 

"Yeah, Max, what is that?" Phoebe asks. 

"Wait, is that a security camera?" I ask. 

"It is." Max says. 

"This is why you don't do things without me there to supervise." I say. 

"The school got a pic of you? See, Liz, it's catching on." Billy says. 

"No, this is bad. This is really, really bad. You see, this is what happens when I have fun with you." Phoebe says. 

"Okay, everyone just relax. Yes, the camera caught you guys using your superpowers. But this is an easy fix, all right? We just break into the school–- " I say. 

"Break into the school?" Phoebe asks. 

"Look, the school records say that the security footage is kept in the principal's office." Max says. 

"Oh, so now we're also breaking into the principal's office?" Phoebe asks. 

"Fun right?" me and Max ask. 

"Yeah!" Billy and Nora say. 

"No, not fun." Phoebe says. 

"I miss snowball Phoebe." Max says. 

"Look, these are simple hard drives. And we're going to erase them with this baby." I say and grab my degausser magnet. 

 "what's that, a magic wand?" Nora asks. 

"I'm not a magician." I say. 

"That's exactly what a magician would say." Nora terribly whispers to Billy. 

"It's a degausser magnet. And we're gonna use it to erase the security footage. In the principal's office." I say. 

"Sounds like a heist. We want in." Nora says.
