Invisible Sister Page #6

And if she's happier without me,

then I can learn

to live with that.

Somehow.

The Coug's okay.

He's not crying.

Coug...

I've never been

the biggest fan of yours,

but I was wrong.

Hmm?

Molly's really lucky

to have you.

And if you'll just

give me a second,

she'll be back.

I just miss her so badly.

I miss you too, Coug.

Molly?

I'm not breaking up with you.

I'm right here.

I'm just invisible.

Like you can't be hurt?

No, that's "invincible", babe.

I'm "invisible".

I can't be seen.

This is very confusing.

Oh... Oh!

Molly, it is you!

Oh, I missed you too.

Thank you for not dumping me.

Whoa, whoa, wait.

You're invisible?

Wait, what?

How?

This is completely crazy!

Coug, I'll explain later,

but if we don't find Carter now

and make Molly visible

in less than an hour,

you're going to go to prom

with an invisible girlfriend.

Which won't make for

great couples pictures.

Right?

Right.

Okay, let's split up.

I'm gonna go to the yard,

and you go into the house,

and we'll meet in the barn

at the end, okay?

Okay, yeah.

Let's go.

Have you seen Carter anywhere?

Have you seen a guy

named Carter?

Uh-uh.

You go in there.

I'm gonna go this way.

Oh, uh, excuse me, do you

know where Carter is?

Soccer player, about this

tall, luscious curls?

George, have you seen Molly?

Uh, "seeing" is really

the tricky word there.

We're out of snacks, the bowl

of fake eyeballs turned mushy,

the smoke machine ran out of

whatever makes it make smoke.

Molly is supposed to be here.

This is a complete disaster.

Nikki?

Yeah?

It's not a disaster.

This is the greatest

haunted house fundraiser ever.

Really?

Definitely.

Oh, are you having a good time?

See? She's happy, and she

doesn't even have a head.

You're doing a great job.

Thanks.

You're a really...

really nice guy, George.

Thanks.

You're nice too.

Maybe we could

hang out sometime?

I'd like that.

Uh, great.

To be continued.

See you soon.

Carter!

Can you guys give us a sec?

Hey... you're here.

You're late, but here.

And you're not in costume.

Um, no.

Costume?

Your bear costume?

Um... No.

Can I ask you something?

What's up with you?

I mean, generally,

you're kind of standoffish.

Today you're actually

nice to me,

and now you barely even

bother to show up.

Carter, I'm so sorry

about the weirdness.

The truth is...

I have always wanted

to hang out with you.

And I never thought

that you would want

to ever hang out with me.

What are you wearing?

Uh, I'm...

I'm honey.

Honey?

Yeah, you know,

I thought, 'cause, you know,

with your bear costume,

I'd... I'd be honey.

'Cause, you know,

bears and honey are...

They're kind of a...

thing.

I... I literally spent

all afternoon gluing felt.

But, you know, since

you're not in costume,

I... I may have overthought

this a little bit.

I really want to talk

to you about this,

and I want to talk to you

about a lot of things.

But right now,

I really need your help.

What is it?

You should just not

see for yourself.

It's just over here in the barn.

Isn't the barn

off-limits?

Carter.

Hey. Hello.

What's going on?

Okay, here we go.

Hey, Carter.

Whoa, Carter, Carter, Carter...

Wow, this is

a sophisticated solution.

But I think I can

work out an antidote.

The problem is we only

have 45 minutes.

'Cause at midnight, we're toast.

The tricky part is

after we create the antidote,

- we need to distill its steam.

- Of course.

The steam is what

turned the moth invisible,

so that's what Molly needs

to drink.

But how? We don't have time

to get to the lab.

We can make a homemade still.

All we need are a few

simple components.

Hey, sorry, fire code

violation, gotta take this.

A heat source...

some tubing...

Sounds better

without these notes.

...and a funnel

of some kind.

Ok, so now that we've

created the antidote,

all we need to do is boil it...

then distill its steam...

so that Molly can drink it

before midnight.

Okay, here we go.

It's almost midnight.

We've got 40 seconds.

Is it working?

Just one drop...

and another one.

This is gonna take forever.

30 seconds.

Oh, come on, boil faster!

Hey! Open the door, people.

- It's Perkins.

- Ignore him.

Whoever's in there

better come out,

or you're gonna meet

my good friend,

Mr. Detention!

Less than 20 seconds.

Come on, work,

you stupid machine.

- Come on.

- What's going on in there?

Okay, Molly,

this should be enough.

Drink it.

Seriously, open up!

People, your actions

have consequences.

I have to do something

for you first.

What are you doing?

It'll just take a second.

You kids are in

some serious trouble!

Mr. Perkins, it's Molly.

Cleo turned me invisible

for her science project.

You have to know

how special she is.

Oh, no.

Molly, what did you do?

I had to make sure

Mr. Perkins knew, Cleo.

You did something amazing

the world had to see.

We missed the deadline.

It was a risk I was

willing to take for you.

Molly, I'll never see

your beautiful face again?

That's okay, we can still

have a life together.

Maybe even with little

half-invisible kids someday.

So you actually did this?

You really turned

your sister invisible.

I... I... Okay, I can't get my

mind around... around this.

Uh...

No, no, we can't give up.

There has to be something else

that we can do.

Your calculations were

conservative.

There should have been enough

time, it should have worked.

Well, then, there's

something we're missing.

Molly, did you eat

anything weird last night?

Meatballs.

Huh? Meatballs.

Wait, you had a game

the next day.

You were nervous.

Ginger fizz.

I drank some with the moth.

Then that's what we're missing.

Its acidity must have impacted

the solution somehow.

Do you have any on you?

I never leave the house

without it.

Drink it.

Hey, no matter what happens,

I really liked spending

the day with you.

Me too.

It's nice to see

your face again.

It's good to see you, too.

Some kind of magic

I think The Coug needs

to blow off some steam.

Molly! Finally!

Hey!

Where's your costume?

Hi, Nikki!

Wow. You finally took

your headphones off, Cleo.

You did some real science.

Maybe a little too real.

Listen, I chaired the New Orleans

Association of Applied Scientists.

Would you please come and present

your findings with us next month?

- Yeah!

- Yeah?

All right.

Thank you.

Hey. Look, I know

it's been a crazy night.

But... And I'm dressed as honey.

But do you want to dance?

Yes.

The sun is shining

It's a brand new day

So as I was saying,

invisibility is everywhere.

But as it turns out,

the line between visible

and invisible,

it isn't that wide.

I'll be okay

Transformation from one state to another

is indeed possible.

I know now that visible things

can disappear...

...and invisible things

can finally be seen.

Most stories

have a hero who finds

You make your past

your past

Yeah, you make your past

your past

Crossing this line

between invisible and visible
