[♪ mysterious music playing]

Bear-Bear, if you're going to the kitchen, bring me a snack.

[door closes]

Bear-Bear?

Cat-Cat, where's Bear-Bear?

[gasps] Where's Cat-Cat?

Dog-Dog, have you seen... [gasps]

Where's Dog-Dog?

Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman!

My stuffies! They're gone-gone.

We've been robbed.

What are you talking about?

Someone stole all my stuffed animals.

I bet it was the Bedtime Bandit.

Milo, for the last time,

there's no such thing as...

Hey, where'd my dartboard go?

Okay, which one of you just came into my room

and stole a box of balloons?

[gasps] The Bandit! He struck again.

What's he gonna do with a box of balloons?

What were you gonna do with a box of balloons?

Oh, they were for your birthday.

I was gonna fill them with water and throw them at you.

But on your birthday.

Hey! Do you smell kettle corn?

[gasps] It's the Bandit!

Okay, he broke into our house, stole our toys,

and now he's making kettle corn?

Why would he do that?

To prove he can!

Man! This guy is twisted.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Light-us So Bright-us!

Ha!

- Justin? - Dad's the Bedtime Bandit?

But he's like a father to me.

Shh! You'll wake your father.

What is he doing?

He's so stressed about the carnival,

he's prepping for it in his sleep.

I'm here to make sure he doesn't hurt himself.

But he's known about the carnival for weeks.

Why is he so freaked out now?

He just found out his childhood principal,

Mr. Laritate, is coming to see it.

Justin worships that man.

Wait a minute. My middle name is Laritate.

You telling me I'm named after Dad's old principal?

Hey, your dad wanted it to be your first name,

so you're welcome.

[mystical whooshing]

Hey, Billie! It's me!

It's you. [laughs sarcastically]

Who are you?

I'm Piper.

The Oracle! I paint the future!

You were expecting me.

Why would I be expecting you?

'Cause I painted this exact moment.

Oh, right. You weren't expecting me.

I was expecting me.

You must be real confused right now.

I can't believe you're an oracle.

I have so many questions.

And I will answer all of them.

- What are you doing here? - I don't know.

-Is something good gonna happen? -I don't know.

-Is something bad gonna happen? -Ooh! Good question.

I don't know.

Well, that was unhelpful.

Yeah, I know.

It's just that I never know what my visions mean.

I go into a trance and start drawing,

and when I come out of it, I've drawn a moment in the future.

I don't know when or how that moment's gonna happen,

but it always does.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Show us. Go into a trance.

Trance! Trance! Trance!

Why am I the only one chanting?

It doesn't work that way.

I never know when I'm gonna go into a...

Oh! It's happening right now.

She's really in the zone.

- How long do you think... - And I'm back!

That's Dad and he's a cowboy,

and he's riding a bull?

[scoffs] No way Justin's riding a bull.

The man got bucked off a massage chair at the mall.

Check it out! Ride 'em, cowboy! Huh?

You really can draw the future.

It's, kind of, my thing.

This is perfect for the carnival. Mr. Laritate is gonna love it.

He won't. It's dumb. It's so dumb.

This carnival's gonna be a disaster, isn't it?

It might be.

- What? - Or it might not.

That's the fun thing about the future.

Plan all you want. What's gonna happen is gonna happen.

[chuckles]

I'm sorry. Who's this girl?

I'm Piper. I'm...

Here to help us with the carnival.

Nice to meet you, and thanks for helping.

She's so not helping. She's stressing me out.

Billie, why don't you take Piper upstairs

or really anywhere that's not near Justin.

Come on, Piper.

This is so exciting.

I'm here to help with the carnival.

No, you're not.

I made that up because Justin is so stressed out.

- Then why am I here? - We don't know.

Still exciting!

[exclaims graciously]

All right, Milo, this is the last box of stuff for the school carnival.

- [clears throat] Balloons? - Check.

- Face-painting kit? - Check.

Video game console?

Video game console? Milo?

I'm trying to let go, but my hands won't let me.

Dude, you have to. This is the prize

for the "Guess the Gumballs" game.

So what if I told you I want it?

I'd say you have to try to win it like everybody else.

[sighs] Then win you, I shall.

Ooh! Eleven o'clock.

We better load this in the car and get going to school.

Uh, Dad. Bad news.

The minivan is full.

Okay, nobody panic!

We'll take out the spare tire. Roman sits in the place where the spare tire goes,

and then this box will go in the backseat between Billie and Milo.

Or we keep the spare tire,

and I ride with the box on my lap.

[sighing] Oh, yeah. That's... That's a good plan.

What about Mom's chili for the cook off?

Okay, new plan. Roman is getting strapped to the roof!

I wanna get strapped to a roof!

Nobody's being strapped on the roof!

The chili will go on the floor by my feet.

Roman, take the box out to the car.

- [sighs] - And be careful.

Game-Game's in there.

[sighs]

I know I'm forgetting something.

Justin, you've been planning this for weeks.

It's gonna be perfect.

But it has to be "Laritate" perfect.

I just want him to be proud of me.

I mean, the man is the greatest principal

in the history of the New York City public school system.

They've written songs about him.

You've written songs about him.

That's what I was forgetting.

My ukulele! Giada!

Mortal clothes are so cute.

- Mind if I take a look? - Knock yourself out.

[exclaims]

Man, we have to figure out why you're here.

I'm here to do something, say something or see something.

And when I do, say or see the something I'm supposed to see, say or do,

I'll have done, said or seen the something I was supposed to do, say or see.

See?

This is cute.

I feel like I've painted you in this before.

Wait, how many times have you painted me?

A lot, but only once in this jacket.

It was like you holding your hands out, looking properly intense

as the world was all...

[mimicking explosions]

Wait! You painted the prophecy? Well, what does it mean?

All I know is it definitely will happen.

[gasps] Can I borrow this?

Actually, you're wearing it in the prophecy,

so you're probably gonna need it.

[sighs]

This is wild.

You know, I have so many questions.

Do I save the world? Do I end the world?

Or am I just...

talking to myself right now?

And I'm back!

-I have good news and bad news. -Huh?

Good news is, I know why I'm here.

Bad news is, it's to show you this.

Wait, I'm gonna destroy Justin's carnival?

But we don't know how.

So that's kind of fun, right?

I can't believe you drew a picture of me

destroying the school carnival.

Justin's been planning it for weeks. I gotta stop it.

I'm sorry. My drawings always happen.

No. Not this time. I'm gonna change the future.

- Ooh! - You think I can?

No!

But I love your confidence.

Hey, Billie.

[in sing-song voice] ♪ It's time to leave ♪

I know that sounded fun, but seriously, we're in a rush.

Actually, we're just gonna meet you there.

- You will? - We will?

Yeah, 'cause Piper gets carsick.

- I do? - Yes, you do.

This is great. Giada can ride in the back with the boys,

and the chili can ride up front

with the seat warmer.

♪ Do not be late ♪

Seriously.

This is so exciting.

I've never been to a mortal carnival before.

You're not going to this one either.

I can't destroy the school carnival if I'm not there.

See? Changing the future.

What are we gonna do instead?

I don't know. We could go to a movie or the mall.

Just as long as we do not go anywhere near that carnival.

Six different busses.

We tried to take six different busses to the mall,

and every single one broke down here at the carnival.

I told you, you can't change the future.

No matter how hard you try to stop it, it will happen.

It always happens.

[gasps] Oh! Funnel cake!

Sorry, future. It's not gonna be that easy. I'm out of here.

Hey, Billie. Perfect timing.

I need you to blow up 500 balloons.

Stupid future!

[indistinct chatter]

Roman, I came as soon as I got your text. Are you okay?

What? I'm fine, why?

Your text said, "Emergency at school. Need a cane."

Oh, no. That's just for my carnival outfit.

Adds a little razzle to my dazzle.

My grandmother can't get downstairs without that cane.

Does she have any plans today?

-No, -Then we're good.

Step right up! Step right up!

Easiest game of the carnival.

All you've got to do is bounce this ball

off the clown, through the hoop,

under the rainbow, over the castle,

and into this cup and you've won...

"Clown Hoop Rainbow Castle Cup!"

Clown Hoop Rainbow Castle Cup? That's a terrible name.

Too late. It's already on the sign.

It's $1. Play till you lose.

Win a prize every time.

But Roman, it's impossible to win.

[softly] Exactly. That's the beauty of it. It's too hard.

My booth's gonna make the most money at the carnival.

Ooh! Looks like we have our first taker.

And by "taker," I mean, take her money.

Here you go, young lady.

Oh! So close!

- She looks so sad. - I know.

I'm gonna make so much money.

[game chiming, popping]

What was that?

It sounded like a ping-pong ball bouncing off a clown

through hoop, under a rainbow,

over a castle into a cup.

No! It can't be.

I believe you owe me a prize and another ball.

It's fine. It's fine.

There's no way he's gonna...

[game chiming, popping]

- He did it again, didn't he? - Yes, he did.

- I believe... - Yeah, yeah. Prize and a ball.

Okay, gumballs.

I have to count the number of you in this jar,

and this console is all mine.

One, two, three, four...

Okay, so I'll just set the timer for 25 minutes...

25, 26, 27...

which means this will be ready at 03:48.

349, 350, 351, 352...

Ooh! Spicy, but good.

I can't believe I've never made this recipe before.

B4, B5, B6...

Well, if it isn't the most beautiful woman

at the Greenwald Middle School Summer Carnival.

That's not the compliment you think it is, but I'll take it.

[sighs]

You're suddenly in a good mood.

It's just everything's going so smoothly.

Place looks great, people are having fun.

Mr. Laritate is gonna be impressed.

Nothing is gonna ruin this carnival.

I gotta figure out how I'm gonna ruin this carnival.

The picture just shows you and the destroyed carnival.

Not a lot to go on.

Okay, but if you had another vision, then...

I told you, I can't just make myself have one.

Unless you have a bottle of fire toad flakes,

which, you don't, because this is the mortal world.

Are you telling me fire toad flakes make you have visions?

Oh, yeah. It gives me visions, a numb tongue...

It is unpleasant.

So spicy food causes visions.

Good, right?

-Guess what the secret ingredient is. -[gasping]

The sun?

It's impossible to count these things in there.

Everybody's saying numbers and words that sound like numbers.

It's getting so a guy can't cheat in peace.

Wait. Why am I doing all the work?

I'm a wizard.

[sighs] Too bad I don't know a spell to help.

Or do I?

No, I don't. But Woogle might.

Okay, Woogle, I need a spell

that'll make these gumballs count themselves.

[cellphone chimes]

Yes, this is perfect.

Wake these gumballs from their jars,

so they'll tell me how many they are.

It worked.

I wonder why Dad doesn't want us to use random spells we find

on the Wizternet.

[mystical whooshing]

[gumballs grumbling]

Oh! That's why.

Hey, kid, I think you've won enough.

The rules stipulate that you play until you lose,

and I don't know if you've noticed,

but I have yet to lose.

Oh, he's noticed. The whole carnival's noticed.

Yes. Thank you, Winter.

This kid's been winning for an hour, and I've only made $2.

What am I gonna do?

I got it. Go to the mall, buy clothes exactly like his.

-Then, come back and tell him you're him from the future... -[popping]

Wait. What was I saying? Oh, right.

Go to the mall, buy clothes exactly like his...

- [popping] - Wait. What were you saying?

You were the one talking.

Sorry. The sound of that kid winning keeps distracting me.

Winter, that's it. I'll distract him.

[loud sneezing]

[game chiming, popping]

Gesundheit.

[all cheering]

All right, Francis, you've left me no choice.

[pops]

Oh! I love it.

It's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

It's a... a...

- Billie, what is this? - A dog.

Oh!

A one-headed dog!

That's so mortal.

Well, if you like that, you're gonna love this.

- It's chili. - Chilly?

- Oh, 'cause it's cold. - No, 'cause it's hot.

- Chili! Now, that's so mort... - Just eat it.

Billie, I just wanted to say thank you

for bringing me to the carnival.

Yeah, yeah. No problem. Try the chili.

[sighs]

Being an oracle,

I don't have a lot of friends.

Yep, friends.

Friends don't let friends eat cold chili. Hurry up.

[sighs] Most people just use me for my visions.

But not you.

You might be my first real friend.

Me? Really?

Mmm. This smells good.

- No, Piper, wait. - [gasps]

Oh, wow!

That is spi...

Milo! That's how the carnival gets destroyed.

[lisping] ...thy! Spi-thy!

Dang it! My tongue is numb!

Billie? Where did she go?

[Milo screaming]

[gumballs grumbling]

- [screams] - [gumballs grumbling]

Gumballs, you don't wanna do this.

[gumballs grumbling]

Hey, Billie. You having fun?

Of course you are. It's a great carnival

I don't know why you were so worried.

Yep. Nothing's gonna ruin this carnival.

That's what I said.

Oh! Then it must be true.

See ya!

- [cell phone ringing] - Ah!

Oh! [clears throat]

Hello, Principal Laritate. [chuckles]

Call you "Hershel"?

Okay. Hello, Hershel.

Nope. That felt weird. Going back.

Hello, Principal Laritate. I look forward to seeing you later.

Oh?

Oh, oh, no. I... I understand.

There's always next year's carnival. [chuckles softly]

Happy trails to you too, sir.

Is everything okay?

Principal Laritate got a flat on the expressway.

He's not gonna make it to the carnival.

Oh, Justin, I'm so sorry.

[chuckling] No, it's fine.

It's not like this was my opportunity to show my hero

that I've made it in our shared profession, so...

[sobbing] That banner's crooked. I'm gonna fix it.

- [gumballs grumbling] - I'm sorry, gumballs.

I'm sorry for every one of you I ever chewed.

[mystical whooshes]

[gumballs grumbling]

Billie! Thank goodness! I used magic for...

A shortcut and ended up making giant killer gumballs?

- How'd you know? - I was 11 with a wand once.

- How did you know I was here? - Well, Piper said was gonna

destroy the carnival, but I didn't know how.

So I tricked her into drawing the future.

[lisping] You tricked me?

[gumballs grumbling]

I thought we were friends.

- Piper, wait! - [Milo] Billie!

[mystical whooshes]

One, two, three, four...

Billie, that one's getting away!

Where do you think you're going?

Read the sign.

"No gum in school."

Billie, you saved the carnival,

and I counted all the gumballs.

-There's three-hundred and-forty... -But I hurt Piper, too.

Two. 342? That's not right.

Four-hundred-and-forty-two? Dang it!

Piper! There you are.

Look, I know I messed up.

I used you for a vision, just like everyone else.

[exclaiming scornfully]

But I only did it so I could change the future, and I did.

I stopped those giant gumballs from destroying everything.

[exclaiming scornfully]

I know that doesn't make it right,

and I wasn't a good friend.

For that, I'm sorry.

[exclaiming scornfully]

Piper, say something. Anything.

[lisping] I can't. My tongue is still numb.

Right. Sorry.

[in normal voice] Thank you.

[sighing] And I get it.

Knowing the future can really mess with your head.

Maybe that's why oracles don't have a lot of friends.

Well, I still wanna be your friend

- if you wanna be mine. - We'll see.

I'm kidding. I already saw!

So you just let me say all that

even though you knew we were gonna make up?

I couldn't let you off that easy.

Okay, I deserve that. [laughs]

And that's the last prize.

Best dollar I ever spent.

Come on, Francis. You gotta give me a chance to win my prizes back.

One more ball. Double or nothing.

But you got nothing I want.

I'll give you my bike.

But you love your bike.

You said you'd ride it down the aisle at your wedding.

Trust me, I've got a plan.

Fine. Let's do this.

[game chiming]

Yes! You missed!

Let this be a lesson to you, Francis.

You mess with the carny...

you get the cane.

Well... you didn't get to show your hero what a success you are,

but you do get the double-fist churros. So...

at least there's that.

- [clattering] - Oh, man!

Well played, gumballs.

Well played.

See? The carnival's fine. I changed the future.

[crowd gasping]

[crowd yelping]

- My booth! - My carnival!

My vision.

But I...

I thought I stopped it.

I told you. My visions always come true.

You just have to accept it.

- It's just a school carnival. - Hey!

What is going on?

I guess this wasn't really about the carnival.

I thought that maybe if I could stop this vision from happening,

- then maybe I could stop... - The prophecy.

Yeah.

I don't wanna be the one to destroy the world.

Maybe you won't.

I mean, we thought you were gonna be the one to destroy the carnival.

And...

you didn't do that.

Yeah.

You know what? Your drawing came true,

but not in the way I thought.

That's the thing about the future.

You don't really know what it is until you get there.

Wow! That was deep!

Well, at least Mr. Laritate wasn't here to see this.

Howdy, buckaroo!

Mr. Laritate!

Whoa, Nelly! What in tarnation happened to your carnival?

Still doing the cowboy thing, huh?

Darn tootin'.

[softly] Still cool.

[sighing sadly]

I wish you could've seen this place before it was messed up.

It was perfect.

I mean, not "Laritate" perfect.

How'd you do it? You always made this job look so easy.

Easy?

I don't know what school you went to,

but for me, every day at Tribeca Prep was a real humdinger.

Mostly because of your sister,

Alex.

Yeah. She was a lot.

Still is.

Justin, there's no such thing as a perfect principal.

All you can do is your best,

and I know that you do that.

I'm proud of you, partner.

That means more to me than you will ever know.

[sniffles]

I'm gonna rustle up some churros.

I didn't love changing a tire

on the Staten Island Expressway,

but that was worth it.

[sighs] Thank you.

- Oh, no! - Yes!

I win again!

I bet even you didn't see that coming.

Wow! You are good.

[mystical whooshes]

Are you sure you can't stay?

I've got to get back.

I just sketched my dad grounding me big time

for sneaking away to the mortal world.

Hey, any time you wanna come back,

- you got a friend here. - Really? Who?

I'm just kidding. I know it's you.

- See you, Billie. - Bye, Piper.

[sighs softly]

Oh, Piper, wait! You dropped this.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

No!

I'm gonna attack Roman.
