which is why you should go home.

What? What's wrong?

You look normal.

Oh.

Hello?

- It's Mack.

- Oh.

Yeah.

What?

- Hi, Mack!

- Yeah, we'll be right over.

- Tanner, we gotta go. Come on!

- Huh?

Whoo!

- Tanner!

- Lela, you look like future Lela.

- Groovy.

- Super groovy.

No, not groovy at all,

actually. Very ungroovy.

She's not supposed to

be able to look modern.

Smile.

- No shining teeth pang!

- Mm.

- What are you doing?

- It's okay. It's okay.

- What are you... stopit.

- Just go with it.

- Hey. What... what are you...

- Look. Wet.

What's happening? What are... what is...

why is my hair so squishy and limp?

I don't understand! What is this feeling?

Brady, do you understand what's happening?

The whole essence of

who they are is changing.

They could be stuck here

forever, or the whole

fabric of our reality

could just rip open.

- We gotta get them back.

- Well, maybe we should just tell them

where they're from, what they do?

Are we worried what that might do to them?

Well, we're running out of options, Mack.

Lela, Tanner.

You're just made-up characters

from a movie. You are not real.

Huh?

Maybe I would've eased it

into them a little more gently.

But, uh, a movie? I don't understand.

Here. Look at this.

- You like to surf?

- I know.

Hey, it's us, doing...

Things we usually do.

You guys are from an imaginary world.

A movie world. My favorite

movie. It's where Mack and I met.

But, I don't want to live in a movie world.

I... but,

you do.

That's why your life's

always been so perfect, Lela.

It's where you belong.

How do we make them understand?

We could explain to them

in a language they know.

You mean...

- Here we go.

- Yup.

No, you guys, honestly,

life is better in a movie.

Yes!

Quiet on the set.

- Quiet on the set.

- Playback.

Roll sound.

- Speed.

- Roll camera.

Rolling.

- Tanner!

- Tanner!

Can I have your autograph?

No!

I'm sorry, but no.

I don't want to be that girl anymore.

I don't want somebody

to write my lines for me.

I want to stay here.

Forever.

Um...

Lela!

Well, that was dramatic,

and potentially terrible.

Hey, move it! Out of the way, out of the

way, out of the way, out of the way.

Okays! I think there's

only one thing for us to do.

Yeah?

And that's to not do anythings and

pretend that nothing bad is happening.

Sound good? Perfect. Okay.

Butchy, Butchy! Whoa.

Oh, my gosh.

- You are not gonna believe this.

- Cheechee, what's wrong?

We was walking with our

pals, sidecar and muffler,

and, boom! They just up and vanished.

Oh, this is terribles.

Peoples have been

disappearing left and right!

Any one of us could be next!

Oh.

Okay, things started going wrong

ever since Tanner and Lela

took off into the ocean.

You thinks thems leaving

is somehow corenated

- with this chain of events?

- Yeahs, I do. Hey, what's that?

Oh!

This is the same necklace my sister had

when she disappeared into the ocean.

Maybe we's can use it, too.

We can find Tanner and Lela.

We'll bring 'em back, and then maybe

everything will be normal again.

We're leaving? I gotta go

home and get some hairspray.

- This does not travel well.

- We ain't got time, cheech.

- Whoa!

- We gotta get there right now,

before more of us start disappearing.

But, wait. Where exactly is there?

How am I supposed to know, struts?

I ain't been there, yet. Come on.

Oh, yeah. Water gives

you the fears, don't it?

Yeah, it does, but some

things is bigger than fears.

Now, let's go!

Right.

- It's gone, Mack.

- No, it might still wash up.

Last time, I ended up in

a parallel movie universe.

Do you have any better

ideas? Just keep looking.

Don't take this out on me.

I wasn't the one who just blurted it out,

like, "hey, Lela, guess

what? You're not real. "

Really, so this is my fault?

How else should I have said it?

I don't know! You could've

been a little less direct.

Less direct, like, kept it a secret

from her? Kept her in the dark?

Yeah, 'cause that's been

working so well for you, lately.

Well, maybe we should

go ask Spencer for help.

Really? We're back to that?

How about this? You just

keep looking over there.

- I'mma look over here.

- Yeah, fine by me.

What was that about?

I think they were arguing.

But they're not in rival gangs.

Here, I guess, couples do it, too.

I don't like it.

Me, neither.

- Well, that's odd.

- What?

Why are those crazy cats

wearing their clothes in the water?

What? Lela, those aren't cats.

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!

- Those are...

- Guys.

- Tanner!

- Lela!

- Our friends!

- Oh!

Tanner! Lela!

Those people are made out of rubber.

Are you kidding me?

Hi. Hi. Come over here.

Butchy! Lugnut! Cheechee! Struts!

Rascal! Seacat! Giggles!

Oh, we's did it! We's found you's guys.

Hey, guys. Wow.

Y... you're all here.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean what are we doing here?

- We came to take Tanner and Lela home.

- What?

- No.

- No?

I don't want to go home, Butchy.

But, Lela, I'm your brother.

Don't you miss me?

Don't you miss all of us?

- Yeah.

- Yes. Of course. A lot,

but, well, I'm starting to find

myself here, Butchy. I'm happy.

Okay, look, Lela, that's all wells and

goods, but, you see, the thing is,

back home, things are

starting to disappear, like.

Wait, what's disappearing?

- Peoples.

- Peoples?

Yeah, peoples. Peoples are just starting

to sparkle up, and poof, and they vanish.

And we don't even know where's

to or if they's coming back.

That's it. That's what's happening.

Lela and Tanner are the stars of the movie.

- Without the stars...

- There's no movie.

It's vanishing from existence.

You guys have to go back, right away.

You have to go back into the movie,

otherwise you're all just gonna disappear.

- What have I done? I...

- Lela. L... it's not your fault.

Okay? There's no way you could've

known this was gonna happen.

I've gotta go back.

It's our job to be characters in a movie.

Yeah, what are you's talking

about? What is she talking about?

It's complicated.

I'm gonna miss you, Mack.

Yeah, me, too.

You know, and, somehow,

we will always be friends,

even if we're in different worlds.

I know.

I just wish I didn't have to leave.

- Bye, Brady.

- It was great seeing you.

- Yeah.

- Take care of yourself, all right?

Go get yourself home.

He's right. We gotta get ourselves home.

Come on.

- Bye.

- Bye.

They're gone.

- Um, listen.

- Hey, um...

Well, I, uh, I should get

to the dance to set up.

Yeah, yeah. I guess I'll,

- I guess I'll see you there.

- Yeah, I guess.

All right, everybody.

The band's taking a break.

We'll be back in 15.

Here's a little something to slow it down.

Hey, do you... do

you wanna, um...

I'd love to dance.

You know, school dances

aren't usually my scene,

but this fruit punch is

actually pretty nectar.

You all right, dude?

Yeah, I'm good.

Guessing things aren't totally

simpatico with the little beach bunny?

Yeah.

Things are a little not simpatico.
