Well, I do have a dream about us,

but as I'm sure you've been noticing

lately, your father and I are just...

Well, we're... not compatible.

Sorry. I don't mean to dump all this on you

right before you have to go to school, but...

school's waiting.

Did we have to move so close to school?

Your father thought

we'd save money on gas.

Come right home after school today, 'cause

there's some things we need to talk about.

I love you.

I wish anything could happen

so I wouldn't have to come home today.

Hey, look, it's Dream Boy!

Who knows where tornadoes come from?

Well, when cold air mixes with hot air,

it can form a tornado,

as the hot and cold chase each other

around and around and around.

I dreamt of a story kind of like Sharkboy

and Lavagirl - Ice Girl and Dream Boy.

Her powers come from her crystal heart.

No more fairy tales.

Piranha Girl and Beluga Boy.

Plastic Boy and Metal Girl.

Barf Boy and Vomit Girl.

Does everyone hear me?

I'm a teacher, right?

Wrong. I'm an awakener.

Only I'm finding it more and more difficult

to keep my class... awake.

No recess again for you, Marissa, you've got

too many allergies.

There are more boogers on your homework

than there is homework.

I'm just cold.

I'll be happy to change places with you.

It's a lot warmer back there in my spot.

But I... have to sit up front.

It's just that you're sitting

right under the vent.

- It's August and you're sneezing.

- You're gonna get me in trouble.

Max.

Are you... trying to make real friends?

Yeah, trying, like you told me to.

That's good.

Just not with my daughter, OK?

No. It wasn't like that. It's just...

Sit down, Max.

- Give me back my journal!

- Class has begun.

- Everyone in your seats.

- Linus took my journal!

- I did not!

- Minus!

I mean, Linus.

You get a minus for misconduct.

Give Max back his journal.

One more time, Linus, and we'll have to

change your name to Minus.

He ruined my dream journal!

I did not! Mr. Electric,

send him to the principal's office

and have him expelled!

You're in my class, not the other way around!

I know everything and you know nothing!

At the end of class, both of you

report to the principal's office...

with your parents!

Everybody down!

It's them!

I'm looking for Max.

She's hot!

Whoa!

We need your help, Max.

Come with us.

What do I have to do?

Go with us to Planet Drool.

We'll explain on the way.

We're going to Planet Drool?

It's my home planet.

Just outside our solar system.

You should know, Max... you made it up.

- I can't go with you.

- Why not?

Because you're not real!

Both of you are just a dream!

And when I open my eyes, you'll be gone!

We're still here, Max.

If you wanna stop the Darkness

from destroying our worlds, come with us.

You better go with them.

OK. I'll go!

Everyone follow me, and we'll go find shelter!

I can't believe I'm finally getting

to ditch this place and go to Planet Drool!

How are we getting there?

Put these on, everybody.

Blue goggles for the boys,

pink for the girls.

Do you have another pair of boy goggles?

Uh-uh.

So, how do you fly it?

- You don't know?

- Duh!

That's sort of been the whole problem!

You press go.

- Now how do you fly it?

- It's got an autopilot!

You just thought of everything,

didn't you, Max?

Not exactly!

- How do we land it?

- That's the part I never thought of!

Jupiter... Saturn... Neptune...

You might wanna hold on to something.

Recognize your dream world, Max?

Not really.

I feel like I should, but I just don't.

It's affecting him too.

I thought he would just remember.

- Remember what?

- Your dreams

This planet?

Us.

Your powers.

- I have powers?

- More than any of us.

Don't you know that?

Everything that is or was,

began with a dream.

And you dreamt us, Max.

Us and this whole place.

I did?

Every dream you ever had

landed right here on Planet Drool.

Why is it so dark?

The planet is dying.

It began yesterday.

What's the calculation, Sharkboy?

45 minutes till the Darkness

destroys Planet Drool.

We didn't go to Earth to save you, Max.

We need you to save Planet Drool.

But how?

The Dream Lair

is on the other side of the planet.

That's where your dreams are going bad.

We have to go there and reverse it.

We have to travel through the Passage

of Time, catch the Train of Thought,

swim down the Stream of Consciousness

and skate across the Sea of Confusion -

now covered in ice.

Why'd you do that, Max?

Why'd you freeze the ocean?

I...

Ouch!

Max didn't mean to do it!

Did you, Max?

Max is a good boy, otherwise you and

I would be evil, and we're not evil!

I'm not evil, am I, Max?

I don't think so.

That's why we brought you here...

to put things back in order.

We just have to stay positive.

It's not the end of the world.

Not yet, it's not.

The Darkness! Run!

- This is like a bad dream!

- Oh, yeah?

Just wait till you meet Mr. Electric!

He's the worst bad dream yet!

Where is everyone?

- They're mostly trapped on Mount Neverest.

- By Mr. Electric.

But Planet Drool's a place for kids

to dream and have endless fun!

It's endless fun, all right.

Once you get on...

...you can't get off.

Kids aren't allowed to rest,

'cause if they rest, they sleep,

and if they sleep, they dream.

- And if they dream...

- It takes power away from Mr. Electric.

But we're gonna stop him

with our secret weapon!

Shouldn't we save those kids first?

Why can't I do that?

Lavagirl!

Who knows where Mr. Electric is hiding?

Everyone?

They're not raising their hands.

You're all upside down.

Ah.

Who is stopping my unstoppable coasters?!

- Back in your seats!

- Go! Run! Hide!

- Let's get out of here!

- Everyone back in your seats!

Who's Mr. Electric?

He's supposed to provide light to the

planet, but all he brings now is darkness.

The fun has begun!

He's taking us up!

My home! At half its normal power.

He's taking us down!

Show time.

Keep playing! Never stop!

Games and toys and laughs...

hey-hey-hey... and fun!

Well, well, well.

If it isn't Sharkboy and Lavagirl!

What are you doing halting my endless-fun

coaster and infiltrating my lair?

We don't need permission from you.

Fiery!

I don't believe we've met.

I'm Mr. Electric!

Why are you bringing misery to our planet?

You're supposed to be running it!

You're supposed to be running it.

I am running it - right into the ground.

- Those are my orders.

- Who ordered that?

No school, no discipline, no rules!

And most important, no dreams!

Dreams can destroy you, can't they?

- My instincts tell me that is so.
