Splitting Adam Page #5

---

just trying out a new look.

Yeah, my look.

Are you supposed to dropping

off Gillian at soccer practice?

It's already done,

so I thought I'd swing by

the park and do lunch with Lori.

No!

I mean, she's busy today.

Tonight's the fundraiser,

and she has to go over

some last-minute things

with Vance.

Ugh!

Oh, oh, oh, wait,

Handsome and Lori together?

Ah, he's trying to get

in between me and Lori.

Lori and you?

I mean, uh... we.

Okay, well, we only

have a few hours

until the Splash-apalooza.

There's a lot to do.

And, plus, Uncle Mitch told me

that I have to help him

with this birthday party thing.

Okay, I guess I'll just

round up the boys

and take care of Handsome

once and for all.

No, just leave it alone.

That's an order.

Whatever you say, boss.

Pfllt.

Baker.

There you are, Baker.

Perfect timing.

You can say that.

I need to speak

to the Splash-apalooza

planning committee.

Where's the other half?

Yeah, she's not coming.

And if you want to talk to Lori,

you're gonna

have to go through me first.

Give me a break, Baker.

I'm finished with you.

Done-so.

And the only thing I want

for you to do is walk

right over to Mr. Mattis' office

and turn in your whistle.

And why would I do that?

Because if you don't,

you'll have to explain

to Lori and everyone else why

Vance Vance Revolution

isn't playing Splash-apalooza

tonight.

What's so funny?

You obviously don't realize

who you're dealing with, Vance.

Oh, yeah?

Tell me, who exactly is that?

All of us.

Or everyone.

Oh, hey!

Uh!

You.

We're everywhere.

Party! Party!

Oh, yeah!

Oh, Vance!

Ah!

This is my park now, Handsome.

And you're gonna

stay away from it.

Because we'll be watching

everything and everywhere.

Got it?

Ah!

Bye.

What's going on?

Where's Adam numbero uno?

What, are you his mother?

No, I'm his best friend.

Oh, yeah, really?

Best friend?

Then why did he

put me in charge?

Where is Handsome going?

He had better

get back here pronto.

He has a show to play tonight.

Oh, yeah, he's not

gonna be coming back ever.

What do you mean? Why?

He told me he was gonna work

for Water Planet.

That conniving traitor.

Yo know how life or death

this fundraiser is.

How could you let this happen?

I don't know.

I mean... by not caring.

Uh, Mr. Mattis,

you'll have to forgive Adam.

He's not quite himself today.

Yeah?

Well, he's got three hours

to find me another headliner

or he's fired.

What? You can't fire me.

I'm your accountant.

Okay, then you're fired.

What?

He's fired.

And if you don't find me

another headliner, you're next.

Boom!

See, I told you

cleaning can be fun.

And disgusting at the same time.

Ugh!

Mm.

Alakazoo!

We love you, Mitch!

That was great, Uncle Mitch.

I know, right?

No better feeling than showing

someone that the impossible

is indeed possible,

What you said last

week was a game changer.

I said that?

I sa... I said that... I said it.

I wasted all that time

trying to be

like every other magician

out there.

But what makes me different,

makes me happy is...

you know, like we said.

Oh.

What did we say?

What did we...

- Being...

- Being...

- ...the best...

- The best...

- ...magic...

- Magician.

- ...Magic Mitch...

- ...Magic Mitch...

- ...I can.

- ...I can.

Being the best magician

I can be.

Yes, I said it.

Right.

Truth. Honesty.

Being the real you.

That's where the magic is.

Otherwise, what's the point?

Hey, what's that?

Oh, yeah, it's just a rash.

I mean, probably from all that

chlorine in those pools.

You should probably

get that checked out... not yet.

This show ain't over.

We still gotta make

that grandma reappear.

Mm-hmm.

Pretty rabbit.

Uh, I'll be right back.

I think I turned

the grandma into a rabbit.

Vance won't be giving us

any problems from here on out.

Right now, Vance is

the very least of our problems.

Finally!

Where have you been?

Uh, magic show, long story.

You remember

my Uncle Magic Mitch?

Straight jacket?

This is some venue.

Whoa, yeah.

Where's Vance?

Shouldn't he be setting up?

That's what I've

been calling about.

There is no Vance.

He just freaked out,

I don't know why.

No, he's probably just taking

selfies and then liking them.

No, I mean, he's gone,

melted down,

as in not coming back... ever.

Perfect.

Far from it.

If we don't find someone

to take Vance's place,

there's not gonna be

a Splash-apalooza.

And if there's

no Splash-apalooza,

there's not gonna be

a water park next summer.

Mattis was so mad,

he fired Sheldon.

Oh my gosh, no way, no.

Why, Sheldon?

He loves that job.

We need something big.

Something amazing.

Something...

Yeah!

Oh...

Magical.

Does he do something

other than sparkle?

You bet he does.

I think.

This is gonna be great.

I have so many ideas.

Come on, come on, come on,

let's do this.

Oh, yeah!

It's magic hour!

Let's go!

Yes, yes, yes,

let's go, Uncle Mitch.

What?

Looks like it's been hit by...

A clone-ado.

Uh, I mean,

like a... like a cyclone.

What?

Hold on.

Huh?

Ow! What the...

Adam, are you okay in there?

Yeah, it's just

some stomach issues.

You've gotta stop eating

those son of tuna melts.

Brutal.

I tried to stop him,

but he was too perfect.

Plus his hair's breathtaking.

I was mesmerized.

He's mad.

You need to protect Lori.

You do not want to go in there.

I'm telling you, there's

some serious toilet suction.

Should I be worried?

Uh, no, no.

It's just... uh, mice.

Big mice.

We should go.

Adam!

What's going on?

Well just... stay here,

the llama will protect you.

Help!

I need a little help here, dude.

Party foul.

He over-powdered me.

Perfect?

Totally.

Oh, oh, Adam, Adam.

Where is he?

He took off

after I showed him the video.

Adam, you need to see this.

Adam, are you coming back?

Hang on, I'll be back.

I'll be right in.

And I thought

my house was messy.

Yum, gummy bear.

Ha-ha!

Lori!

Hey!

I have to get you out of here.

Adam, there was a hand.

Oh, a hand?

Oh, those mice must be evolving.

We have to hurry.

Look, Adam!

What up?

It's Lori.

Hey.

Oh, no, it's okay,

it's okay, they won't hurt you.

They're... they're with me.

They're... well...

Nice to meet your acquaintance.

They're my clones.

Clones?

But that's not real,

except in sci-fi movies.

I know it's hard to believe,

but there was this machine.

And my schedule was like crazy...

Oh, wait, you mean

you did this yourself?

No, it was

an accident... at first.

But instead you lied

and then let them run around

pretending to be you?

You!

You smashed cake in my face.

And you, you read me poetry

and then gave me food poisoning.

And you, you just need to do

everyone a favor

and get that thing waxed!

And you.

You made a fool of me.

All this time, like... like

I was some game to you.

And to think, I

thought you were different.

Lori, wait.

I know I've been an idiot.

I was scared.

Scared I wouldn't

say the right thing

or, you know, be cool enough.
