[♪ upbeat music concludes]

Does Mr. Spaulding really think we don't know he wears a toupee?

- He has to know we know. - [Billie chuckles]

It blows off his head every time the AC turns on.

[chuckles] Mr. Spaulding should change his name to Mr. Balding.

[laughs] Mr. Balding.

That is so funny, Billie. [laughs]

Eva Morales just called you funny.

All I did was rhyme Mr. Spaulding's name.

It wasn't even a very good joke.

It wasn't. It was a terrible joke.

Well, I wouldn't say terrible.

Billie, you're missing the point.

The most popular girl in eighth grade

just gave you a compliment. Eighth grade, Billie.

We're like babies to them. We're invisible.

We're invisible babies.

I didn't even know she knew my name.

I'll take Billie and Winter.

She knows both our names.

And she picked us first for her kickball team.

W... we got this. Just be cool and do what I do.

[grunts]

[student] Oh! [chuckling]

Yeah, I don't wanna do that.

Eva Morales talked to you twice?

Yeah, and after kickball,

she looked us in the eye and was like, "See ya."

"See ya." An eighth grader sees us.

- Usually, we're like... - I know, I know.

Invisible babies.

Hey! There she is.

I'm just gonna go talk to her.

Maybe she wants to actually be friends.

Either she's the bravest person I know,

or that kickball hit her harder than I thought.

- Hey, Eva. - Hey, Billie. What's up?

What's up? [chuckles]

I didn't think that far ahead yet.

Uh, we should all, like, hang out sometime.

Yeah, what are you doing after school?

Today, nothing. Not a thing.

Cool. See you guys later.

- Eva. - [Eva] Hey, Richard.

Did you hear that?

Yeah, she called you the wrong name.

Yeah, but usually she calls me

"you're standing in front of my locker,"

so Richard for the win!

Eva is so cool. She was just like,

"Let's pop by the mall on the way home."

And we popped by the mall on the way home.

[chuckles] And did you see her at the makeup counter?

She bought lipstick, not a gloss, not tint, stick.

What are you guys talking about?

- Nothing. - Not you.

Hey, girls.

- Hey, Giada, this is Eva. - She's an eighth grader.

Don't know why I said that.

Seventh and eighth graders can be friends.

It's only weird if you call attention to it.

[chuckles]

It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Russo.

It's nice to meet you too, Eva. [chuckling]

Oh, well, I hope it's okay that I asked her over.

It all just, you know, kind of happened.

Oh, of course, Billie. This is so exciting.

You're making new friends. [chuckles]

Well, I have to be home for dinner,

so I should probably go.

Oh, you know, I wish you didn't have to.

It was so fun hanging out.

Well, listen, you're welcome to come back after dinner.

- You mean like a sleepover? - [laughs] Sleepover.

I don't think that's what she meant.

It's okay with me if it's okay with Eva's parents.

Ah, but it's so last minute.

There's no way her parents are gonna be cool with it.

Yep, they're cool with it. See you later.

This is gonna be so fun.

- [laughs] - [Billie] Mm.

We're about to have the greatest night of our lives

and nothing can spoil it.

- Actually-- - I said nothing can spoil it.

I don't get it.

Why aren't you excited to have Eva Morales sleep over?

I am excited. See, this is my excited face.

We're gonna have to work on that.

What is going on with you?

[sighs] I have to wear this awful headgear when I sleep.

It can't be that bad.

Oh, yeah? My first night at WizTech,

this girl Lucy saw me in it. She called me Braceface Billie.

After that, I swore I'd never let anyone see me in it again.

So don't wear it. I stopped wearing my retainer

and most of my teeth are still in the right place.

I have to wear it.

I cast spells in my sleep, it's called sleep casting.

And my enchanted headgear is the only thing

that stops me from doing it.

And if we have a sleepover, Eva will see you in it.

But if I don't wear it, I'll cast spells in my sleep.

Well, I guess there's only one thing we can do.

- Cancel the sleepover. - Clone yourself,

so Eva and I can hang out while you sleep in the attic.

[laughs] I mean, cancel the sleepover.

That's what we're gonna do.

What on Earth are you doing?

Phase one of the perfect sleepover prank.

Mentoid ice cubes.

The girls will put them in their soda and boom!

They're covered in suds.

Milo, we have a smart, ambitious eighth grade woman

coming into our home.

Let's try and present the Russo men

in a good light, shall we?

Code redhead!

Hey, Mom, nothing.

What are you up to?

Your no-good son is up to his usual childish antics.

Kids these days, am I right?

Okay, what are you up to?

[exhales sharply, chuckles] What's with the suit?

Did someone die?

[laughs] Oh, sorry, did someone die?

I'm wearing a casual house suit. I do that sometimes.

I think he's trying to impress Billie's new friend.

She's an eighth grader. She has sophisticated tastes.

What am I supposed to wear? Basketball shorts and a T-shirt?

- [scoffs] - You wish.

You don't have the knees for these shorts.

Okay, okay. Boys, boys,

this is Billie's first sleepover,

and you two are not gonna mess it up.

Oh, hey, I got an idea.

It's been a while since we had a boys' night.

Why don't we do something fun tonight?

You know, just the three of us.

- Oh, that is a great idea. - We're staying out all night!

- We'll be back by 9:30. - We're staying out till 9:30!

Okay, we just need to find a way

to get out of this sleepover with Eva.

We can't cancel on her.

She'll think we don't wanna be friends.

I've been popular-adjacent all day, Billie.

I can't go back. I won't go back.

Look, we just need her to cancel on us.

[gasps] I know.

I'll just cast a spell on her parents' car

so it won't start. No ride, no sleepover.

- [wand chimes] - Double-double, cars in trouble,

make Eva's parents' engine boil and bubble.

Now what?

We let that very specific spell do its thing.

It's a text from Eva.

Spell worked. Sleepover's canceled.

- Canceled? - Yep.

Car trouble. Nothing we can do about that.

- Oh, I'll just go pick Eva up. - But...

you don't know where she lives.

5-5-5 Mabel Drive.

What are you doing?

The part of me that wants the sleepover took over.

[sighs] Billie, this is your first sleepover

in the mortal world.

I'm not gonna let a little car trouble ruin things.

Turn left on Crescent. It's quicker.

Winter, what am I gonna do?

If I fall asleep and start sleep casting,

Eva will find out I'm a wizard.

Maybe you should just wear headgear.

Maybe she won't make fun of you.

If you had been there when Lucy at WizTech saw me wearing it,

you wouldn't say that.

I still have nightmares about it.

I have nightmares about winning the lottery.

Suddenly every relative is knocking on my door,

but I can't open it because I'm a lobster.

Uh, no, wait, that's the nightmare.

I'm a lobster.

[gasps] Winter, I know what we need.

- [scoffs] - What is that?

- Stinkroot. - Ew.

It's grown by woodland fairies...

- Aww. - ...in their armpits.

Ew.

You brew it like tea and drink it to stay awake.

Can't sleep cast if I'm awake, right?

- Want me to make you some? - Hmm, let me see.

Do I want fairy armpit tea? No, I'm good.

Hope you guys are ready for boys' night.

[all] Boys' night!

- [blows air horn] - Milo, I'm driving.

Sorry, just excited for boys' night.

- [all] Boys' night! - [blows air horn]

- Milo! - My bad.

Wait until you see what I have planned.

We are getting the VIP treatment.

Hi, yes, I have a coupon for the VIP treatment.

You brought us to the car wash?

Uh, yeah, you guys love the car wash.

Plus, the car's filthy.

Someone wrote "wash me" on the window

and drew a bunch of hearts around it.

Uh, those weren't hearts. Those were butts.

[Justin] Hmm?

I mean, I'm guessing that's what the artist intended.

Dad, please tell me

you have something else planned after this.

Uh, obviously.

Trust me, this boys' night is just getting started.

Boys' night! [laughs, inhales] I didn't hear you.

- Boys' night... - Boys' night...

Yes.

Man, I haven't painted my nails in a minute. [chuckles]

Why? 'Cause it's a baby thing? It is, isn't it?

You're blowing it, Winter.

No, I love painting my nails. It's classic sleepover.

That's what I said. You're killing it, Winter.

Whoo! [chuckles] This is fun. Are you guys having fun?

I could do this all night. Oh, that's what we should do!

Stay up all night. I can't wait to paint my nails,

I just wish I had more than ten nails to paint.

[gasps] I forgot about my toes. Yes, bonus nails.

Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine. [giggles nervously]

Are you okay?

I'm great. The stinkroot is really working.

My whole body is tingling. I think I feel my hair growing.

Oh, hey. Don't mind me.

Not trying to interrupt your sleepover,

but when I was in middle school and we had sleepovers,

we used to make prank phone calls.

Now, I'm not saying you should do that,

but here's a faculty directory and a burner phone.

Mrs. Russo, you're kind of my hero right now.

[laughs] Have fun.

Oh, we're gonna have fun. We're gonna have so much fun,

I probably won't sleep a wink tonight.

[sniffs] Ugh. Something is rotten in here.

I'm gonna dump this in the yard.

Actually, I'm gonna dump this in the neighbor's yard.

But... [sighs]

First, she said Eva could sleep over.

Then she gives her a ride here.

And now she's dumping the last of the stinkroot.

It's like she's doing everything she can

to give me the best night of my life.

What you're saying doesn't match how you're saying it.

I know. I'm very conflicted.

[laughs] Whoo-hoo! Price-Co!

[chuckles] Was that fun or was that fun?

There a third option?

Oh, come on, you guys used to love going to Price-Co.

Playing hide and seek in the aisles,

riding in the shopping carts, eating free samples.

Look, I appreciate a knife demonstration

as much as the next guy, but I gotta tell you,

it's not the thrill it used to be.

Well, you had fun, right, Milo? Milo?

[Milo] Help! I'm buried under impulse purchases!

Can we just go home now?

Yeah, Dad, thanks for trying, but... [sighs]

...maybe we should call boys' night off.

No, we can't call off boys' night.

O... okay, look, maybe I was taking you

to do a bunch of kid stuff. It's just...

you're growing up so fast.

I guess I'm just not ready to admit

you're not little boys anymore. You're guys.

And what guys need is a guys' night.

I'm listening.

I know what we should do.

But I gotta warn you, it's pretty risky. Are you in?

- [both] Guys' night! - Guys' night!

- Guys' night! - Guys' night!

[laughs] Buckle up first for safety.

[yawns] I don't know about you guys,

but I'm getting tired.

No. [laughs] No, no, nobody's getting tired.

- Um, let's play Slappy Face. - What's that?

It's where we slap each other as hard as we can in the face.

- Why would we do that? - Yeah, why would we do that?

- Because it's fun. - That doesn't sound fun.

Yeah, that really doesn't sound fun.

[doorbell ringing]

Whoo! [sing-song] I think that's for me.

[gasps] Thank you. Oh, I tipped on the app.

- Giada, uh, what is that? - Confession.

I may have had a little something special delivered

for your sleepover.

Matching onesies!

- Mrs. Russo, you did not. - I did.

- You did not? - I did.

- You did not. - Eva, just take a onesie.

[gasps]

This thing is so soft, it's like a--

Blanket made of kittens.

That's not what I was going to--

Say. Look at us,

finishing each other's sentences,

like BFFs.

[laughs] Come on, girls, we can get changed upstairs.

- Winter... Hmm?

...whatever happens, you cannot let me fall asleep.

Don't worry, Billie, you can count on me.

- [snoring] - Seriously?

All right, just a few more hours until sunrise.

I can do this. Ooh...

This onesie is so,

so soft.

[gasps] No, gotta stay awake.

[sighs] I'm just gonna go

get a glass of water from the kitchen.

[♪ eerie music playing]

Huh? This isn't the kitchen.

What's going on?

- [footsteps approaching] - Who's there?

Well, if it isn't Braceface Billie. [laughs]

Lucy from WizTech, what are you doing here?

Duh, I'm here to call you Braceface, Braceface!

But this has to be a dream.

Oh, no.

I must have fallen asleep without my headgear

which means I'm...

sleep casting.

[♪ music concludes]

[gasps] Oh, good. I'm not a lobster...

I wonder if it's too late to cancel the sleepover.

[♪ dramatic music playing, fades]

Billie, wake up. Wake up.

- [snores] - No, not you. You stay asleep.

Hey, Winter, I found some extra blankets in case you...

[exclaims] What is happening?

[shushes] Please, Mrs. Russo, we have to be quiet.

What is happening?

- Billie's sleep casting. - Well, wake her up.

I tried. We have to do something before Eva sees this.

[Giada sighs]

Yeah, this is gonna be tough to explain.

[gasps] Whoa, we're in the wizard world.

What makes you think that?

'Cause there's a centaur over there.

Are you sure?

I thought a centaur was a half man, half bull.

No, that's the minotaur.

Really? I thought that was a half woman, half fish.

No, that's a mermaid.

So who gives you parking tickets?

That's a meter maid! Are we really doing this?

[shushes] Keep your voices down. You're gonna wake him up.

- He's sleeping. - [yawns]

Ah, centaurs sleep standing up, just like cows.

And they also make pies, just like cows.

So watch your step.

Dad, what are we doing here?

- We're centaur tipping. - What is that?

It's where you sneak up to a sleeping centaur

and you tip him.

It's pretty much all in the name.

Huh, I would not take you for a centaur tipper, Dad.

Oh, I... I'm not,

but I busted a bunch of kids at WizTech once doing it.

I was like, "Kids, that is not funny."

Then why are we doing it?

Because I lied. It's funny. It's really funny.

- I'm in. Let's do this. - Okay.

- [snores] - [shushes]

Okay, one, two, three. Push!

- [yells] - [centaur screams, grunts]

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Run!

When I figure out how to get up, I'm coming after you!

[all] Guys' night!

Oh. No, this can't be good.

Oh, Justin, thank goodness you're here.

What's going on?

Did one of my pranks go wrong? Did one of them go right?

No, she's sleep casting. I've done it before myself,

but the worst I ever did was fold laundry.

That checks out.

[♪ tense music playing]

[laughs]

But you're just a nightmare. You can't hurt me.

Where's your stupid headgear, Braceface?

Okay, that hurt a little.

[both] Braceface! Braceface!

Leave me alone.

- [all] Braceface! Braceface! - Just go away!

[all laugh]

- [♪ music concludes] - Go away. Go away.

- I can't wake her up. - Well, what do we do?

I have to go into her dream and try to wake her up.

No, you can't. You have to stay here

and undo this magic before Eva sees it.

Look, send me into her dream.

You can't just go into someone's dream.

That's a huge invasion of privacy.

Didn't you and Billie sneak into Dad's brain?

Wait, what did he say?

H... he said, send her in. Send Mom in!

[♪ tense music playing]

[all] Braceface! Braceface! Braceface! Braceface! Braceface!

- Leave me alone! - [all] Braceface! Braceface...

- Billie! - Giada!

- Oh! - What are you doing in my dream?

Justin sent me. The sleepover is going a little off the rails.

- [grunts] Try to take her wand. - I'm on it.

Yeah, that's not gonna work.

[grunts]

This is my fault.

Usually, I wear headgear to stop me from sleep casting.

But I was worried if Eva saw me in it,

then she'd make fun of me.

Oh, so you wear headgear, so what?

Well, it makes me look weird.

Oh, honey, it's something you need.

Anyone who makes fun of you for that is not worth your time.

[sighs] Even if it's Eva Morales?

Even if it's Eva Morales.

[all] Braceface! Braceface! Braceface!

And definitely not whoever that little brat is.

You're right.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Fine, you got me.

I guess I am Braceface Billie, but I'm cool with it.

[all] You can't be cool with it.

That's the whole point of the mean nickname.

I'm not wasting my time worrying about what you think anymore.

[both] Hey, cut it out!

I'm done worrying about what anyone thinks.

- But that's no fun! - [sighs] We're leaving.

No, no, no! You're not going anywhere, Braceface!

Eh, watch me.

You're lucky this is a dream

or I'd be having a strong word with your mother.

[grunts]

[♪ music concludes]

[sighs] Okay, I'm just gonna say it.

Little girls are mean.

Billie? Winter?

Richard, what are you doing here?

- Did she just call you Richard? - Just go with it, Mom.

[chuckles]

- Uh, everybody was just-- - Just leaving.

[chuckles] Right, guys?

Wait. I wanna show you guys something.

That thing goes on your face? [chuckles]

- Roman. - I mean, it's hardly noticeable.

[laughs] Well, let's, uh, get upstairs. [chuckles]

Uh, Eva, this is my headgear, and I have to wear it.

So, if you're not cool with that then...

maybe we shouldn't be friends.

[chuckles] Why wouldn't I be cool with it?

'Cause you're in eighth grade, and you're awesome,

and neither of us can figure out why you're hanging out with us,

and you smell like a fancy candle.

First of all, I'm hanging out with you 'cause you're fun.

[laughs] And second, I was worried about

what you guys would think because of this.

[chuckles] You even make headgear look cool.

We both make headgear look cool.

I am so running home to get my retainer right now.

- [doorbell ringing] - I got it.

[sighs]

Told you I was coming after you.

How'd you find me?

Oh, you dropped your Price-Co card. [chuckles]

- Oh, thank you. [chuckles] - [chuckles]

Now it's, uh, my turn to tip you.

What? [screams, groans]

Not so funny now, is it?
