My brave knight, through your noble quest
of doing your weekly chores
and no longer leaving your wet towels
in the corner of the bathroom, you have proven to me
that you are worthy of forging your own sword.
I trust that you will wield this blade justly and responsibly.
You have my word.
I will destroy all these defenseless pillows!
Yeah, get those -- Oof!
Is that all you've got, you sack of feathers?
Windmill mode!
Raaa!
You'll never overwhelm my powerful blade,
for I am the mighty Kels--
Aaaaaah!
[ Thump ] [ Gasps ]
Oh, boy.
[ Chuckles nervously ] It c-- It could be worse.
Okay, this is pretty bad.
What have you done to my home?
Craig: Kelsey, run!
Neil: Kelsey, I'm disappointed in you.
You -- You don't understand, Father!
If you'd been there, if you had seen
what those pillows had done... No.
You must learn that your actions have consequences.
Give me the sword.
[ Whimpering ]
Be strong, Neil.
Until you prove you are worthy of getting it back,
the sword will stay here,
locked away on top of Fridge Tower.
[ Snoring ]
Maps, maps, maps, maps.
Kelsey: Craig! [ Gasps ]
Morning! Aaah! Kelsey!
Hey, did you know that you talk in your sleep and you snore
and you also tooted a couple times?
What? What are you doing here?
It's like 5:00 in the morning.
Yeah, my dad came over to fix the wall
I disemboweled before heading to work.
Wow, Neil. I thought you were exaggerating when you said
you'd be here at dawn to fix the wall,
but here you are in my house at dawn.
Ah, I'm a man of my word. No big deal.
I can assure you that my presence
will not be a disturbance to you or your family.
[ Saw whirring ]
I broke my oath.
I was supposed to wield my sword wisely, but I didn't,
and now I may never get it back, and worst of all,
I disappointed my dad.
Maybe I am unworthy.
Maybe I'm no longer the noble knight I once was.
[ Yawns ] No way.
You're plenty noble. I don't know.
I have to prove it somehow -- to my dad and to myself!
And I want to help --
later, because I'm sleepy.
Nope! Help me now!
All right, so, we've looked at a ton of these books you have,
and it seems like a bunch of these heroes
have to complete a series of tests to prove their worth.
So we came up with our own.
And once you complete them,
your dad will have to give you your sword back
because you'll have this, a certificate of worthitude.
It looks great on a résumé.
Oh, wow!
But what if I fail?
Uh, I don't know.
You'll never get your sword back,
and you'll turn into one of those kids
that spends all their time drawing on their jeans?
Aah! Drawing on my denim? No!
I mustn't fail.
Bring on the trials!
JP: First, we must test your moral compass!
By reading a "Slide the Ferret" comic?
You got to read it and tell us who the bad guy is.
Ah! A virtuous challenge!
Luckily, I can detect evil within a 30-foot radius.
"High in the mountains in Dr. Robomelette's lab..."
[ Laughs evilly ]
Finally, my animaltronic is complete,
and with it, I can finally get rid of that meddling ferret!
Huh? Oof!
Unh-unh-unh!
Slide!
It's Slide time!
Wait!
Ahh!
Okay. I think I figured out who the bad guy is.
It's Slide. What?
No, no, no, no, no. He's clearly the good guy.
How is it clear?
He broke into the omelet guy's lab
and kicked him in the face for building a robot.
No! Look!
He's got cool shoes and goes fast.
So? Maybe he goes fast to get away from the crimes he did.
Crimes?
He doesn't need money and stuff.
Yeah.
And, look, the comic is called "Slide the Ferret."
His name is in the title,
and everybody knows if the character's name is in a title,
they're always the good guy.
That just makes them the main character.
That doesn't make them the good guy.
[ Gasps ] Whuh?
[ Laughs ] She passes!
And now for your second trial,
you must defeat a dragon!
By eating a whole bag of Molten Crunchies!
Pfft, that's easy!
Okay, then. Since you know everything,
you're gonna have to eat all of them with no drink.
I got this in the bag.
Uh, Kelsey, you might want to take a smaller handful just --
[ Munching ]
Taste pretty good.
[ Whistling ]
Feeling the heat yet?
I can't let the dragon win.
Okay, Kelsey, you passed.
Y-You s-said the whole bag.
But all that's left is the dust,
and that's pure, concentrated heat.
This is for you, Father!
Aaaah!
Kelsey, are you okay?
Aaaaah!
Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!
Ahhhh.
See? I told you.
In the b[belches]ag.
And now for your final test,
I, Craigory the Great and Magnificent,
use my awesome wizardly power
to create a clone of your dear friend John Paul.
To pass this test, you must decide which
JP is real and which is a fake.
It's me! Kelsey, I'm the real JP!
Wait, you're the real JP?
No, I-I'm the real JP.
Oh, my gosh! Who am I?
This is gonna be tough. Oh, I know!
I'll ask something only the real JP would know the answer to!
What is 45,954 divided by 1,242?
Uh, geez.
Think, think, think!
Oh, I got it! The answer is 37!
Ha! Everyone knows the real JP's best subject
is dinosaur history, faker!
Haha! Man, you look dumb right now!
Why did I know that?!
Huzzah!
You have completed the hero's trials.
You may now present
this certificate of worthitude to your father.
What is this? Worthitude?
That's not a word.
It's a certificate to show that I passed the hero's trials!
Hmm. Let me guess.
This is about your sword?
And to prove my worthitude,
I had to decipher the bad guy
in a "Slide the Ferret" comic book series,
and then I ate a whole bag of the hottest snack in the world,
and then -- and -- and I was able to tell the difference
between my best friend and his clone,
which was actually just a mirror.
You -- You -- You're not impressed?
Kelsey, you've missed the point.
I trusted you to wield your sword responsibly,
and you made a mess of Craig's house,
a mess that I still have to fix
because I didn't have the right paint.
So now I have to go back to the hardware store after work
because Mrs. Williams won't let me come back to her house
in the morning for some irrational, inexplicable reason!
[ Sighs ] If you're not up before the sun,
you'll never get anything done!
That's what I always say!
JP: He didn't like our certificate?
Yeah, he said worthitude wasn't a word.
But don't worry, I know how to fix this.
And that's by fixing your wall.
My dad doesn't have the right paint he needs,
so we're going to the hardware store
to get some and fix it for him!
Hardware store?
That means we're gonna have to take the bus!
**
Well, we got the paint.
Now, how are we gonna pay for it?
I have an idea.
Hopefully it works.
Excuse me? Hardware merchant?
My sword as well as my father's trust is on the line.
I require your paint, and I am willing to reward you
with the finest snacks one can offer in exchange.
Quarter-inch construction-grade PVC pipe with the smooth finish?
Sword girl, is it really you?
Pipe Smith, you remember me?
I never forget a cut, especially one used to forge
a sword capable of battling injustice.
Usually, it's just to repair a broken toilet or something.
Do not fret over the paint.
Your respect for polyvinyl piping is payment enough.
Wall potion acquired!
A little tape here. A little paint there.
And done! And done! Oh, and done?
Aw, you guys.
Mrs. Williams? I'm here to fix the wall.
I hope you don't mind I made my own key.
Not breaking and entering.
Huh?
Father, I know I've let you down,
so in order to make amends, my noble companions and I
have repaired the damage I've done.
Wow. This is amazing.
Yeah?
I mean, the craftsmanship is actually really terrible,
but I am so proud of you.
You took responsibility for your actions.
You've truly proven yourself worthy of my trust.
Thank you, Father.
Does this mean Kelsey can get her sword back
and you can also stop coming to my house so early?
Yes... [ Gasps ]
Come to me!
**
[ Car alarm blaring ]
...after she helps me fix the wall properly.
[ Chuckles ] Totally fair.
Neil? How did you get into my house,
and what have you done to my wall?
Oh, I didn't -- I didn't huh-huh?
Mr. Pokoly, run!
* When it's time to go to bed
* I know I don't have to feel alone *
* 'Cause I'll see you tomorrow
* At the creek
Just like I drew it.
