All righty, righty, right!

Let's road trip, people!

Anyone seen my traveling
seasoning salt?

I lost the car keys! Again!

- [buzz]
- [James gasps]

Lu, baby! What's a better title
for the road-trip playlist?

"This Little Road Of Mine" or...

What? Lunella?

Where the devil is she?

Uh, D! Have you
seen my Inflat-a-butt?

I tweaked it to work as
a seat cushion for a long drive,

plus a diaper!

[Devil Dinosaur grunts]

What's up, Big Guy?

[grunts]

Oh, come on, D.

You know you can't come
on a family trip.

Plus... [groans]
you don't want to go, anyway.

Road trips are nothing
but corny games, lousy food,

and boring rest stops
with those cheesy keychains

that never
have my name or yours.

[excited growl]

Seriously,
that sounds fun to you?

Look, D, it's just...
[sighs]

I've been Moon Girl-ing
so much lately, and...

I have to get in
some quality family time.

[grunting and gasping]

Wha-- No, no!

Of course, you're part
of my family, too.

We do stuff together
all the time!

'Member the parade?
Such a blast!

[peppy music playing]

[Devil Dinosaur grunts]

[moans]

[sighs]

Or that time we ate
everyone up during charades!

[James] Red fox! No?

Brown bear! No?

Golden retriever! No?

How many animals with colors
in their names are there?

[Devil Dinosaur grunts]

And how could you forget
about our family portrait?

It's hanging right
between Dr. King and Malcolm!

[snorts]

Okay, so maybe
it's not perfect.

But look, introducing you
to my family

is some heavy-duty stuff.

I can't introduce you
without introducing Moon Girl.

And I'm not ready for that.

[whimpers]

[snorts]

I love you, D. But love can't
live where there's no trust.

So you gotta trust me
and my timing on this, 'kay?

- [groans]
- Hey, I made you something!

[quizzical grunt]

Introducing the Devil Phone!

Wireless calls, addictive games,
schedule alerts, and a b*mb GPS.

Thanks, Gladys West!

Now we can always be in touch.

And nothing says family

like a group chat that nobody
knows how to get out of!

[grumbles]

Ugh! Well, if that's
how you feel, then--

have a great weekend, I guess!

- [grunting]
- Fine!

[music stops abruptly]

[male voice reading]

[affirming grunt]

[male voice reading]

[affirming grunt]

Ooh!

- Experienced babysitter needed.
- Eh?

Must have good references.

CPR training a must.

[mellow music playing]

[frustrated sigh]

[excited shriek]

[snarls]

[delighted shriek]

[upbeat music plays]

Whoa!

[gasps]

[excited whinny]

[laughter]

[falcon shrieks]

[happy giggle]

[reverberating bark]

[Devil Dinosaur gasps]

Well, I'll be.

You're Devil Dinosaur!

- No way!
- I really dig your work!

No, no, no, no, no.
You're not a distraction.

Everyone's welcome.

Get comfy.
Grab a bowl of cereal.

We're about
to start Trust Circle.

Action Buddies, round up!

[low, questioning growl]

My name is Redwing,
and I'm an ex-sidekick.

[all] Hi, Redwing!

My superhero wouldn't reveal
his real identity to me.

Didn't even trust me enough
to take off his disguise.

What if I was partners

with someone named
Jerry this whole time?

Hi, I'm Aragorn,

and I'm an ex-sidekick.

[all] Hi, Aragorn!

My superhero never
let me fly in her plane.

Would I fit in the seats?
Probably not.

But she didn't know that!
[snorts]

Due to an impending lawsuit,

I have no comment
on my former superhero.

My ex?

Well, he's the meanest
of mean,

the cruelest of cruel.

Granite the Crusher.

When ol' Granite retired,

he planned to do what
every aging superhero does

when they've given up,
move to Florida.

But you know what he
didn't include in his plans?

Me! I found the rental agreement
in his new spot,

and there it was...
"No... dogs... allowed"!

So, I left him before
he could leave me.

And you... new friend!

[startled yip]

That's right, baby!
Tell us your story.

[expressive grunting]

[grunting continues]

[sad grunting]

She did what? Classic case
of superhero-itis,

which is exactly
why this group exists.

Because superheroes
don't treat us like family.

They treat us like sidekicks.

[sad grunt]

Big, strong guy like you,

I bet your tail alone
is what, one, maybe two tons?

Hey, I'm gonna call you
Two-Ton from now on,

if that's cool.

[happy snarl]

[all] Two-Ton!

We will now conclude the meeting

with a reading
of the ABC mantra.

You can't spell
"super" without "us"!

[confused yip]

Ohh!

[all laughing]

No way!
Best place to grab a slice

is the dollar pizza on Stanton.

I disagree.
The dollar slice on Delancey

has a far superior crust.

And a public bathroom!

Since when do you
need a bathroom?

[laughter]

[booming laughter]

[sniffing]

Hey, Devil! I can smell
how hungry you are.

You wanna grab a bite?

[delighted yip]

[shrieks, grunts]

[Devil Phone beeps]

[expressive grunts]

Hot dogs
are better than pizza?

Hmm! You are crazy
for that, Two-Ton!

[Devil Dinosaur chuckles]

[happy grunt]

[piano flourish plays]

[light screech]

- [all gasping]
- Whoa!

[Mimi] You could fit a whole
city block in the snack aisle!

Okay "Jennifer," "Lisa,"
and "David," your time to shine.

[delighted gasp and shrieks]

No way!

[laughing] No way!

- [Lunella gasps]
- What? What is it, baby girl?

I don't believe it!
They have, um...

[nervous chuckle] this.

Well, look at that. I never
thought I'd see the day.

Get two, just in case.

[telephone rings]

[phone beeps]

Hmm.

[beeping]

[laughter and happy chatter]

Mmm! Can't beat
family style, am I right?

[affirmative growl]

A toast. To Two-Ton!

[all] Two-Ton!

Devil, the moment I saw you,

I knew you were
the "D" the ABC needs.

And so, we would like
to present you with this.

[delighted shriek]

Now you can come and go
from the Clubhouse anytime.

The door is always open
for family.

[touched whimper]

[cash register bell rings]

Mmm. Aragorn,
I think it's your turn.

No worries. I'm good for it,

because I never
leave home without--

Uh... never mind.

[goat]
How long's that been in there?

Mmm, it's all right, still.

[coughing]

Not it. I gave all my money

to the those kids
selling candy on the subway.

[chomp] Mm-mmm!

Since when did they start
charging for sparkling water?

[worried grumble]

What can I say?
It's tough out there

without a super
to support ya.

So sometimes
we gotta get creative.

Run for it, team.

- [Pebble yelps]
- [Devil Dinosaur gasps]

[surprised grunts]

[beeping]

[grunts]

[cash register bell rings]

[growls]

[panting]

- [squeals]
- Two-Ton!

[offended grunts]

Oh, mmm. Yeah, sorry
about that dine-and-dash.

Next time, we're checking
wallets before we leave,

right, Buddies?

[laughter]

[sad groan]

Know what we need right now?

Family game night!

[lively music plays]

We'll start with a nice old
round of How Bad Were They?

- Ooh!
- I love that one! My fave!

[expressive grunting]

Oh, it's basically a contest

to see whose ex-super
was the worst.

- You'll love it.
- [grunts]

My ex-super was so bad...

[all] How bad were they?

They were so bad,

they loved their man cave
more than they loved me!

- Boo!
- Oh, that is terrible!

That's sad!

[grunts]

[reflective music plays]

[contended grunt]

That's nothing.
My ex was so bad...

[all] How bad were they?

They were so bad,

they never, not even once,
let me fly in their--

Plane!

We know, Aragorn.
You need some new material.

I do not!

[Redwing] Not even a hint
about their real name!

[overlapping arguments]

[reflective music plays]

[contended sound]

[Toothgnasher] I have
no comment at this time.

You're up, Two-Ton.
Give us your worst.

[all] How bad were they?

[grumbling]

[expressive grunting]

Yeah, we know you think
hot dogs are better than pizza.

You've made that super clear.

But what's that got to do
with how awful your super is?

[yawns]

Tired, seriously?
It's, like, 6:00 p.m.

[annoyed growls]

But... if you leave now,
you'll miss the best part.

'Cause we're about to go
on one final super-fun outing.

You know, like, um...

a family road trip.

[upbeat music plays]

[ecstatic yips]

Grab your tools, fools!

We're going on the road!

[Mimi] Next up
is the letter "S"!

"S" is for speed limit,
Miriam! Slow down!

I know I like to say
"it's New York or nowhere,"

but it was nice
to get out of town.

[James] This trip
was one for the books.

You gonna tell all your friends

about seeing the world's
biggest ball of yarn?

Now, that's culture!

[Mimi] Next up! "T" is for...

[Lunella sighs] T. rex.

[Devil Dinosaur grunting]

Yeah, absolutely, truly,

we're gonna do all of that
good road-trip stuff!

But... we'll have
to save it for the trip home.

We're here!

[confused grunts]

It's a surprise,
right behind the rock.

So much family
bonding time awaits us.

Just gotta move the sucker.

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

[reverberating bark]

[Devil Dinosaur grunts]

Duh! [chuckles]
Of course, Two-Ton!

That beautiful tail
of yours! Genius!

[grunting]

- [happy shouts]
- You did it! All right!

[sharp gasp]

[amazed gasps]

[happy snarls and laughter]

[grunting]

[Devil Dinosaur grunts]

[grunts]

Oh, that?

Yep, evil incarnate himself.

Granite! Of course he
hangs a poster of himself

in his own place.
Talk about tacky.

[sharp gasp]

[gasping and grunting]

[sharp grunt]

[shrieking]

All right, crew!
Here's the plan.

Since Granite destroyed
my heart and soul,

we're gonna destroy his,

i.e., everything
in his man cave!

It's a classic smash-and-grab,
emphasis on the smash!

[grumbling]

[percussive music playing]

[beat-driven music playing]

[dismayed grunt]

My super and I loved
to play football together.

He was the MVP of my life
until he went MIA!

My super's gonna be
bent out of shape

when they see what I've done.

I heard they serve tiny bags
of pretzels on planes.

But thanks to my stingy super,
I'll never know! [whinnies]

[reverberating bark]

To think, my super and I would
cuddle on this couch! Lies!

- [groans]
- You need a to-do list, Two-Ton?

What are you waiting for?

[murmurs]

O-Okay, okay, okay. Baby steps.

You'll get the hang of it.

[panting]

Well, well, well.
What do I smell here? Deception?

[snarling]

Emergency trust circle!

How could you be so disloyal?

Family should be able
to trust each other.

After all, you can't
spell trust without "us."

[yips and snarls]

Stop? Never!

You know how we feel!
Your super ditched you, too!

[expressive grunting]

You were wrong about Moon Girl?

Love her? Slow down!

- Regret joining the ABC?
- [angry bleat]

Well, we regret nothing!

Sorry, but we're
finishing the job...

with or without you, Two-Ton.

- [snarls]
- Oh, yeah?

And what are you gonna do?

- [angry snarl]
- Oh, it's on!

You're a real force, Two-Ton.

[rumbling footsteps]

Oh, no! It's him!

Hmm.

Hello, Granite.

Pebble.

My baby!

You came home!

Who's a good pup? You are!

You are! Who's a good pup?

If I'm such a good pup,

then why were you
planning to retire

to an anti-dog community!
I saw the papers!

What? No, no, no, Pebble.

I got that apartment to stash
my action figures... and my mom.

- Wait, really?
- Of course!

I'd never leave you behind.

You are granite's little nugget.

The day I came home
and you were gone,

it was the worst day
of my life.

[thunder crashes]

[sniffles]

I was so worried, I stayed
in New York hoping to find you.

Luckily, I found a support group

for superheroes
without sidekicks, like me.

Man! I missed you so much!

I should have trusted you, partner.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

[laughter]

Hey-- Hey. I know you.

Your supers are in my group.
They've been looking for you.

Redwing. Aragorn.

And... oh, mmm, sorry.
Not all of you.

Wait. My super
is looking for me?

Absolutely!

She told us how you don't get
to fly much in the city,

so she finds any excuse
to take a trip

so you can spread your wings
alongside the plane.

It was all
just a misunderstanding?

[Granite] And Redwing! Wow!

Rodney can't wait
to see you again.

Now that he's out of
superhero witness protection,

he can finally
take off his disguise!

He was just trying
to protect me?

His name is Rodney?

That name would look great
on a towel.

Somebody find me
a working phone!

[laughter and happy chatter]

[Devil Phone beeping]

[contended purr]

[happy snort]

[light groans]

[elevator bell dings]

Hey. [nervous chuckle]

About the other day,
I just wanted to say that I...

Uh, no, no, no. You first.

[expressive grunts and groans]

Oh, D, there's
nothing to forgive!

I'm the one who's sorry.

I know that you love me a ton

and just want to be
a part of my whole life.

[expressive grunting]

And being away made me realize
how much I want that too.

[contended purr]

From now on,
I'm gonna work harder

than the Hubble Space Telescope

to bring both parts
of my life together.

[expressive grunt]

It may not be tomorrow,
but someday soon... ish.

[purring]

Thank you for trusting me...
and my timing.

- Oh!
- Ohh!

I love you too!

[gasps] Ooh!
Guess what I got you!

[Devil Dinosaur gasps sharply]

[expressive grunts]

Hey, what did you, uh,
do this weekend, anyway?
