He's not making any friends with these cookies!

There's no such thing

as Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

There's no such thing

as Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Yes, there is!

Stupid plugs.

Please, don't let me have to go to school.

They'll make fun of me, I know it!

I wish I could just escape this loser world

and go to Planet Drool.

Games and toys and laughs and fun...

May there be terrible storms,

rain, sleet, snow, tornadoes...

so I can lay here all day tomorrow

and dream of Drool.

Guess I didn't dream hard enough.

There are plenty of good opportunities out there.

You just need to look.

Ooh, traffic engineer!

Hey.

I was cleaning out my closet

and look what I found.

Remember Tobor?

The robot you tried to build?

Why were you cleaning out your closet?

I had to find one of these.

- Is Mom making you get a real job again?

- Writing is a real job.

- When it pays.

- Max, I'm walking you to school today.

So what do you say?

Wanna finish making Tobor?

It won't work.

- Well, how do you know?

- 'Cause you told me it wouldn't.

I did?

I'm sorry.

I should've never said that.

It's OK. You were right.

Dumb idea.

How did these happen?

The grass was dead anyway.

Why are you so morbid?

I just wish anything could happen

so I wouldn't have to go to school today.

That's not realistic, Max.

It's bad enough your father's head

is in the clouds, but not you too, OK?

Just push that dream aside and move on.

Like with your dream?

The one about you and Dad and me?

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
