Sky High Page #7

That's it. Everyone, out!

Party's over!

- Don't stop on our account.

Your father and I fly to Europe

for two hours, and you throw a party?

Unbelievable.

When I reach the count of 3,

I want everyone out of this house!

Son, I'm only going to ask you this...

Dad, I swear, I didn't plan this.

All right. That's good enough for me. Hmm?

Steve, I have got half a mind

not to let him go to homecoming.

- That's fine. I'm not going anyway.

- Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.

Your mom said she had "half a mind."

Will, you have to go to the homecoming dance.

We all have to because we're introducing

the world to the Stronghold Three.

The greatest family of superheroes

mankind has ever known.

- Did something happen, Will?

- I don't want to talk about it.

Well, we're gonna talk about it because...

...we promised Gwen we'd go to the dance!

And when a Stronghold makes a promise, son,

that promise is kept!

I promise you, Dad, I'm not going.

Hello? Layla?

Pick up, Layla.

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

Fine, don't pick up. It's me.

I'm going to the Paper Lantern.

If you get this message, meet me there okay.

- You said that?

- True story.

- You're so funny.

- I love life!

Thanks, Boom, for inviting me.

Ha-ha-ha.

You'll like this one.

It was the spring of '88...

Layla.

Layla, just pick up.

In case you didn't get my earlier messages,

- I'm at the Paper Lantern, and I...

- Message box full.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm, uh, looking for Layla.

- Do you know where she is?

- How should I know?

- You're taking her to homecoming.

- Oh, yeah. Right.

Well, you don't have to worry

about me ruining your night.

- And why is that?

- Because I'm not going.

Hmm. Well, that sucks.

Because we're only going

together to make you jealous.

- Huh?

- Dude, you're so stupid.

- She's totally into you.

- Not after tonight.

I wouldn't be surprised if Layla

or any of the other guys

- ever want to talk to me again.

- Yeah.

You must have been a real jerk.

Because no matter what I do,

- I can't get 'em to stop talking to me.

- Thanks.

- Hey, you want to dance?

- No.

Me neither.

Hey there, Layla.

You look like you could use a drink.

No, thanks.

Oh, don't worry.

The bubbles are just ginger ale.

Oops.

The guys at this school are jerks!

Thanks a lot.

I thought you weren't gonna rent a tux.

It's my dad's. He doesn't have

much use for it in solitary.

Cheese cube?

We're taking off now, hon'.

Still time to change your mind and come with us.

Nah, I don't think so.

Mom, you ever feel like you

messed something up so bad

that you'll never be able to fix it?

People make mistakes, Will.

That's what high school's about.

Heck, that's what life's about.

The key is to learn from them.

I hope my friends see it that way.

If someone is a true friend,

you'd be surprised at how

understanding they can be.

Thanks.

Do me a favor?

Put this away for me.

I caught your father sneaking it out under his cape.

He's convinced that everyone

wants to reminisce with him.

- I bet. Will do.

- Love ya.

Have fun.

That's weird.

Gwen?

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no.

I gotta get to Sky High.

Josie, wait.

We can't unveil the Stronghold Three without Will.

It's just...it's just not the same.

Maybe we should fly home.

And we really don't need another award.

Welcome, Commander and Jetstream!

Good evening.

First, a quick announcement.

The owner of the blue cold

fusion-powered jet pack,

you left your lights on.

Sorry. Sorry. Excuse me. Sorry.

And now, please help me welcome

the head of the homecoming committee,

the girl who made all this possible,

Gwen Grayson.

Thank you, Principal Powers.

And a very special thank you

goes to our guests of honor

and the recipients of our

first-ever Hero of the Year award,

- the Commander and Jetstream.

And to mark this occasion,

we've planned a special tribute

to the most powerful super-being

ever to walk the halls of Sky High.

Me!

Commander?

- Royal Pain is a girl?

- Yes, I'm a girl, you idiot!

How I ever lost to a fool like you I'll never know.

Now prepare to be Pacified!

Do you honestly think you can kill

me with that little toy gun of yours?

My dear Commander, who said

anything about killing you?

Ahhh!

Josie! I've always...

Rock-a-bye, baby!

What'd I miss? Ah!

Boomer! Get the kids out of here!

Hothead! Find an exit!

Get as many people out as you can!

I'll slow her dow...!

Thanks again for the lift, Ron.

Now, if I'm not back in 30 minutes...

Come in after you! Got it!

I was gonna say go get help.

Go get help. Got it!

Now get in there!

Sorry!

- Where the heck are we?

- Hey, Warren, how 'bout a torch?

Only if you want to get barbecued.

Ladies, if I may.

Then all the reindeer loved him

- Way to glow, Zach.

- Thanks, man.

'Sup, kid?

You're never gonna believe this. Gwen...

- Is Royal Pain's daughter.

- Yeah, and she...

- Stole the Pacifier.

- Right.

Yeah and she turned everybody into

babies, including your parents, dude.

OK. That I didn't know.

This is even more than the great

Will Stronghold can handle.

She's right. It's gonna take all of us.

All of who? You and Warren?

The rest of us are only sidekicks.

Just because you have powers,

that doesn't make you a hero.

Sometimes it just makes you a jerk.

Makes me a jerk.

- I guess what I'm trying to say is...

- We get it. You've been a jerk.

Layla,

in case my homecoming date

ends up killing me tonight,

I just want you to know...

Isn't that sweet?

- I hate sweet!

You guys are a part of this too?

- Why am I not surprised?

- Go take care of Gwen.

- We'll handle these clowns.

Go.

Whoa!

"While pushing down on the infant restraint,

pinch the two straps together."

- Pinch, Royal, pinch.

- Pinch what? Restraint A or B?

Now you just calm down.

Let's go back to one.

Ahhh!

Come back and fight! You...

Come on, sidekick!

Aren't you gonna fight back?

I don't believe in using powers for violence.

I don't believe you even have any powers!

Go, Penny! Beat Layla!

Go, Penny! Beat Layla!

You can't hide forever, sidekick!

No way.

Sucks for you!

Cootchie-cootchie-coo!

I take you back, my dear Commander,

to your senior year at Sky High,

a time before anyone knew what a Technopath was.

So a brilliant but misunderstood girl

named Sue Tenny

was written off as a science geek

and stuck in Sidekick class.

She hatched a plan, so daring, so visionary,

to start her very own Supervillain Academy

and raise a generation of heroes

from scratch as villains.

But first she had to destroy the very institution

that dared to spurn her genius!

And now, so many years later,

that plan is complete.

My only regret:

That this may be the finest

supervillain speech ever given,

and you don't even know what I'm saying.

But I do.

Look. I'm sorry that my parents

destroyed your mom.

Now put my dad down.

No one could defeat Royal Pain.

When the Pacifier exploded, I wasn't destroyed.
