The Girl Who Tamed a Villain's Heart

Hello ladies and gents! First off, I'd like to thank you all for giving my story a chance. I'll be honest, when it first came out, I didn't like the Thundermans, because I considered them at first glance a wanna-be show of Lab Rats, but after my little brother got me to watch it, it then became one of my most favorite live-action shows.

After watching the second season's finale, I instantly wanted to write a Thunderman's fanfic with the staring pair being Chex (Cherry and Max.)

Not that many out there, and those that are there aren't that long.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this bad boy.

Oh and to those who know me from my other stories, yes I like the Thundermans, so what? I can't always write about anime and cartoons.

Let's roll this thing!

Chapter 1: A Spark

Max was upstairs reading a magazine of 'Young Villains Monthly', where he read about the dastardly deeds of young and upcoming villains. The reason he was upstairs was because his mom and dad went shopping for more supplies for Chloe, so he was in charge of watching Chloe; why they chose him instead of Phoebe was actually quite simple.

She wasn't home.

"Oh, listen to this Chloe, a ray gun that when it hits people they start farting uncontrollably." Max said to his baby sister who was looking at him as she played with her blocks. "And that's the first setting. I wonder what the second is." Max said as he read more on the article. "Ouch… that's got to hurt to pass." Max said with his face scrunched in painful disgust.

Suddenly the door opened to reveal Phoebe and Cherry.

"But Phoebe it was just simple." Cherry complained.

"But I would have been caught." Phoebe retorted.

"Mr. Allworth would have thought it was a ghost." Cherry said.

"No."

"But besties help besties, especially to get their bestie's phone back." Cherry said.

"But superheroes don't steal things." Phoebe rebutted.

"I beg to differ, I stole your phone with my telekinesis." Max said showing Phoebe's phone to the two.

"Stay out of this and give me back my phone." Phoebe said trying to take back her phone, but Max threw it into the kitchen where it landed inside a pot of water that was on the stove, ready whenever to be boiled. "Max!"

"Phoebe~" Max taunted in a mock whine.

"I'm telling mom."

"Not here."

"Then I'm telling dad."

"Not here either."

"Nora."

"Nope."

"Um… then I'm telling-"

"Billy's not here either, although telling him would have been a great way to waste your time." Max said.

"So you're telling me mom and dad left you all alone in the house with Chloe?!" Phoebe exclaimed with shock and worry.

"No, I told you that talking to Billy was a perfect time waster; why don't you go find him?" Max said with a smug smile as he shooed her away with his hand.

"Where is everyone?" Phoebe demanded answers.

"Mom and dad went to buy more stuff for Chloe and Billy and Nora went to get some candy."

"Wait… Billy went with Nora to the candy store?" Phoebe said with new worry.

"Yeah."

"Billy… the kid with the super speed."

"Yeah, why are you so worried? Oh." Max quickly realized why his twin was worried.

"Oh, what? So they went to get some candy, what's the big deal?" Cherry questioned.

"Super Speed plus Too Much Candy equals Most Extreme Sugar Rush Ever." Max said, but Cherry was still confused. "Oh right, you stink at Math." Max said making Cherry look very offended; even if it was true.

"If Billy has too much sugar he will go super crazy and run around the world; literally." Phoebe said. "Max we have to find them."

"And who elected made you the boss of me?"

"Mom and dad."

"And who said I would listen?" Max said making Phoebe groan with annoyance at his remark.

"Cherry, stay here while I go and find Billy and Nora." Phoebe said as she headed for the door.

"Why do I have to stay here?" Cherry asked as she walked towards Phoebe.

"Because I don't trust Max with Chloe." Phoebe said.

"Phoebe, you've got to have more faith in your brother, besides I'm sure he'd be fine. He wouldn't be a bad influence on her." Cherry said.

"Whoa! Explosive diarrhea? Where the diarrhea actually explodes?! Oh I know what I'm saving up for." Max said with a grin as he continued to read the magazine.

"On second thought, I think I should stay." Cherry said.

"Thanks." Phoebe said as she ran out the door.

Cherry then slowly turned to Max who continued to read the magazine.

"So~ did you feed her?" Cherry asked.

"I have to?"

"I'll go get her something." Cherry said as she headed to the kitchen.

"You do that." Max said as he flipped the page. "A weapon that grows mustaches through dramatic proportions? How did that end up here? I could make something better than that." Max said.

"Then why don't you?" Max turned to see Dr. Colosso on the edge of the couch. "From what I've seen these past few weeks you've created some impressive evil devices."

"That's true. With my picture in the magazine, I'll become legendary!" Max exclaimed with pride and excitement.

"Ha! Legendary? Shrink the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty at the same time and placed them in Asia creating the biggest blame game ever and then we'll talk." Dr. Colosso said.

"Who's that?" Cherry asked.

"I was never here." Colosso said as he then left. Max turned to see Cherry bringing in a small jar of creamed yams.

"I thought I heard someone." Cherry said.

"I didn't hear anything." Max said.

"But I heard you talking to someone."

"Was probably all in your loopy head?" Max said. Cherry just shrugged off Max's rude comment and just went to Chloe and opened the jar.

"Wait, are your parents stingy about not eating in the kitchen?" Cherry asked.

"Are you kidding? Dad once ate a sloggy while lying on the floor in only his underwear." Max said as he and Cherry then shuddered at the thought of Thunderman in nothing but his tighty whities. "It was a dark day for us all." Max said as Cherry started feeding Chloe.

"So~ have you done any superheroing yourself?" Cherry asked. After a moment of silence, Max laughed as if he heard the funniest joke. "What's so funny?" Cherry asked genuinely confused.

"I'm guessing Phoebe never told you." Max said.

"Tell me what?"

"I'm a supervillain." Max said with pride. Cherry just looked at him Max for a moment before laughing herself with it being Max's turn to be confused.

"Yeah right, you, the son of Thunderman, a supervillain? Please, there's no way that- although that would explain your cruel and devious nature, your mean and rude comments, and you torturing people with pranks, including our principal!" Cherry then gasped as she turned to Max who had a smirk and raised eyebrow.

"Telekinesis!" Max exclaimed bringing up two of his fingers making Cherry scream and drop the jar as she ran into the kitchen. Max just laughed as he tried to return to his magazine, but then Cherry came back and started hitting him with a spatula. "Ow! Ow! Hey! Stop That!" Max shouted as he pushed her arms away. "What is your deal?!"

"Mom always told me that whenever you come across a bad guy, grab the nearest thing and start whacking him with it." Cherry said.

"Oh, and you think a spatula will protect you?" Max said.

"I could get the rolling pin." Cherry said slapping the spatula in the palm of her hand.

"That would be an improvement." Max said with some worry. "Though in your hands it probably still wouldn't do anything." Max mumbled, but that only earned him another attack from Cherry's spatula. "Ow, ow, no hey!" Suddenly the two heard giggling making the two turn to see that Chloe was laughing at Max's pain.

"Aw~ she's laughing." Cherry said with a smile.

"Yeah, at my pain, now her and Phoebe have something in common." Max said with annoyance. Suddenly Max was hit in the head with one of Chloe's blocks. "Ow!" Max shouted rubbing the pain spot on his head as Chloe shouted.

"Aw~ she's so cute." Cherry said.

"You know what else is cute? The fact that you'll get in trouble for causing that mess." Max said sarcastically as he pointed to the mess where Cherry dropped the jar of yams.

"Uh oh." Cherry said.

"Yup, get to work." Max said returning to his magazine, but then he was given one final whack from Cherry making him go "ow" before she went off to get cleaning supplies. Max just continued to read his magazine as he read more of the articles. As Cherry came back and started cleaning the mess, Max then had a small outburst. "Come on! A weapon that turns people into animals?! That's already been invented and they praise it like it was dropped from the sky?!"

"What are you even reading?" Cherry asked.

"Young Villains Monthly. You wouldn't understand; it's for young super villains like myself." Max gloated, but then Cherry grabbed the magazine from him and skimmed through some of the articles.

"A gun that turns sweet candy bitter?" Cherry said with confusion.

"What?!" Max shouted as he grabbed the magazine from her hands and saw the article. "Oh come on! How is that even remotely evil?!" Max complained.

"It sounds pretty mean." Cherry said continuing to clean the mess.

"Yeah, but that doesn't make it evil. I mean I could invent something more evil than that." Max said.

"Like what exactly? A machine that turns people's minds into a baby's." Cherry joked as she finished with the mess. Max then stopped reading the magazine after hearing her comment.

"What did you say?" Max questioned.

"I just said, what are you going to make? A machine that turns people's brains into a baby's?" Cherry repeated. Max then jumped over the coffee table and grabbed Cherry's shoulders turning her to him making her stare at him with wide eyes at his sudden move.

"You're a genius!" Max exclaimed.

"Really?" Cherry questioned.

"I know, I can't believe I said that too." Max said as he then let go of her and headed for his lair. "To the lair!" Max shouted as he opened his hatch that led to his slide.

"Hold on! You are not leaving me here to care for your sister all by my-" but then Max jumped onto the slide and slid down into his lair. Cherry sighed as she then grabbed Chloe and tried to find a way to Max's lair without using the slide that could endanger Chloe. Luckily she found the stairs. Cherry then went down them and entered Max's lair where she found him taking out a weird helmet looking thing and started fiddling with it.

"Baby minds! Brilliant! I wish I could have thought of that before I became a rabbit." Dr. Colosso said as he saw Max fiddling with his machine, but then he noticed Cherry with Chloe in her arms. "Uh oh, Max, we've been compromised by the dumb dumb." Colosso said making Max turn to see Cherry with Chloe.

"What do you want?" Max questioned.

"I'm here because I shouldn't be babysitting your sister by myself." Cherry said.

"Oh, you're right, how could I have been so foolish?" Max said taking his baby sister making Cherry smile. "This is the perfect opportunity to show my sister the wonders of evil." Max said taking her.

"Oh no, that's not what I meant." Cherry said marching over to Max, but then she noticed something on the helmet. "Your bolt's loose." Cherry said.

"No it isn't- oh wait a minute, you're right."

"She is?" Dr. Colosso questioned with surprise. Max then put Chloe next to Colosso as he examined the bolt.

"How did I miss that?" Max questioned as he then grabbed a wrench and tightened the bolt.

"Some of this stuff looks all wrong." Cherry said as she grabbed a screwdriver and made a few tweaks.

"Hey, don't make it worse!" Max exclaimed.

"There, much better." Cherry said with a smile, but then the helmet shot out a beam that melted a crystal on one of the tables to liquid. "Or maybe not."

"You fixed it." Max said with shock as he then turned his gaze to Cherry. "How?"

"Oh, well, it seemed that some of the bolts and screws were messing up the insidey stuff so I… fixed it." Cherry said with some worry as Max stared at her.

"How do you know how to do this?" Max asked.

"I used to build stuff with my dad and brothers." Cherry said.

"You built stuff?" Max questioned getting a nod from Cherry. "Like what?"

"Um, cars, machines, science stuff."

"And you never showed this before because?"

"There's no class in school that lets me build things; they think I'll screw things up." Cherry said with gloom.

"Yeah, that's not hard to believe." Max said making Cherry adopt an offended look on her face. "Oh, wait." Max said as he dug through his stuff and took out a rocket. "What do you think about this?" Max asked.

"I think whoever built it never heard of elbow grease." Cherry said making Max adopt an offended look on his face. "Seriously, all this thing needs is a little blow torch work here and here, and for the wings to be replaced with finer and sharper ones." Cherry said. Max looked at her with shock before he grinned.

"Cherry, how would you like to help me out in making some brand new toys?" Max said with a grin.

"How much does it pay?" Cherry asked.

"Um… a packet of gummi rockets?"

"Make it fifteen bucks and a packet."

"What?! Do I look like I'm made of money?" Max retorted.

"Then I bid you good day." Cherry said as she was about to grab Chloe.

"Okay fine, fifteen smack-a-roos and a packet of gummis." Max said.

"Nuh uh, twenty and two packets."

"What?!" Max exclaimed, but then held back as Cherry gave him a 'take it or leave it' look. "That sounds perfect." Max said with a forced grin making Cherry smile with superiority.

"Ow!" Colosso shouted making the two turn to him to see Chloe biting his ear. "Well, she has most of her teeth, I can tell you that." Colosso said.

"Aw~ how cute." Cherry said.

"You wouldn't be saying that if you were in my paws." Colosso said as Chloe continued to teeth on his ear.

Later

Phoebe came back home with Billy and Nora with the two younger siblings having chocolate all over their mouths.

"Couldn't we have just had one more?" Billy whined.

"No, you already had like fifty eight when I got there; and speaking of that, how were you two able to pay for all of those sweets?" Phoebe asked.

"Some of them were sour actually." Billy said, but that got a stern look from Phoebe. "We put it all on dad's tab." Billy confessed making Phoebe silently gasp.

"How could you? Do you realize how irresponsible that was?" Phoebe said making the two feel guilty, but then she noticed something out of place. "Where's Max? And Cherry? And Chloe?!" Phoebe questioned as she was incredibly worried.

"They're probably in Max's lair." Nora said.

"Oh no!" Phoebe cried as she ran to the lair. "Max! Don't turn Cherry into a frog!" Phoebe cried out as she ran down into Max's lair.

"So what now?" Billy asked Nora.

"Easy, we raid the pantries for more sweets." Nora said with a devious smile.

"Love it!" Billy cheered as he and Nora ran off towards the kitchen.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the lair

"So how about this?" Max asked as he grabbed a coil.

"Oh that's perfect, if you wanna get electrocuted with a thousand volts." Cherry said.

"Thanks, that's what I was going for." Max said sarcastically as he put the coil away.

"You know, I'm shocked that you asked for my help." Cherry said.

"I'm shocked that you're actually smart at something." Max said.

"I'm shocked, that you haven't gotten this kid's teeth off of my ears yet!" Dr. Colosso exclaimed.

"Still cute~." Cherry said with a grin.

"Still painful!" Dr. Colosso shouted.

"Cherry, don't eat anything Max gives you!" Phoebe cried as she ran down the stairs with worry and fear only to see Cherry and Max next to each other in front of what looks like the beginning of an evil device. "What's going on here?" Phoebe asked pointing at the scene with a weirded out expression at the two not trying to kill each other.

"Oh, I'm building stuff with Max." Cherry said with a smile and Max nodding in agreement with a smirk. Phoebe just continued to look at them funny.

"No seriously, what's going on?" Phoebe said still not convinced.

"Hey, hey, Phoebe, you're looking… less hideous." Dr. Colosso said earning Phoebe's attention with a glare. "I know we never got off on the right foot, but how about we bury the hatchet? Starting with you pulling this mutant's jaws off of me!" Dr. Colosso cried as Chloe bit down on his ear again making him go "ow!"

"Max, why is your brain melting machine out?" Phoebe asked noticing the machine.

"I-"

"Ahem." Cherry said.

"I mean 'we' are reprogramming it." Max said making Cherry smile, but then suddenly Phoebe laughed which confused them.

"Seriously? You, working with someone besides Colosso? And Cherry, good at building things?" Phoebe said with a fit of giggles, but then she stopped when she saw the offended look on Cherry's face. "Which is something I could totally believe." Phoebe quickly said.

"Really? Because I still can't believe that I'm working with someone who isn't a supervillain." Max said as he continued to tinker with his device only to feel volts of electricity course through his body, causing him to fidget momentarily until he pulled his tool and hands away from the device with smoke coming from his hair.

"Oh, don't touch that or else you'll get shocked." Cherry said.

"Really? Thank you for telling me." Max said sarcastically with a forced grin with his response being Cherry smiling.

"Um, Cherry, why are you helping Max anyway?" Phoebe asked.

"He's paying me." Cherry said.

"Yeah, a little too much." Max mumbled to himself making Cherry glare at him slightly.

"But why did you even agree to help him? He's a supervillain." Phoebe said.

"I just thought it would be cool to build things again." Cherry said with a shrug. "Oh and BTW, thanks for telling me before you left that your brother was a supervillain." Cherry said sarcastically.

"I just figured you knew from when we went to save him and Colosso back at Metroburg." Phoebe said.

"I thought he was kidnapped in the first place!" Cherry retorted. "And how did that rabbit even get there?" Cherry asked pointing at Colosso.

"Here's a better question, why haven't any of you helped me yet?!" Colosso shouted as Chloe bit his ear again. "Ow! Do something about this creep or I will! And trust me, you don't want to know what this Easter bunny has in store in his basket." Colosso said in a threatening tone.

"But Easter was weeks ago." Cherry said.

"You're first blondie." Colosso said scaring Cherry a bit before Chloe bit his ear again. "Ow!"

"Should I be worried?" Cherry asked.

"Nah, that bunny can't even take care of his own 'dirty business'." Phoebe said referring to Colosso's newspaper.

"And just like that, the hatchet has been unburied." Colosso said glaring at Phoebe.

"Okay, I think we've all had enough talkie, now how about a little more buildy?" Max said as he and Cherry went back to work.

"Um, actually Cherry and I have to do something." Phoebe said.

"What?" Cherry asked with confusion etched all over her face.

"Um… go to the mall." Phoebe said. Her and Cherry had already came from the mall, but she made up the excuse because she didn't like the idea of leaving Cherry alone with Max in his lair where he could do very dangerous and stupid things to her.

"We just came from the mall." Cherry said.

"I mean get our hair styled."

"Did that this morning, thanks for noticing." Cherry said with an annoyed expression on her face making Phoebe grin nervously.

"I mean, get our nails done."

"I already did that yesterday."

"And you didn't invite me?!" Phoebe said feeling hurt with Cherry grinning nervously.

"If you don't have any more girly stuff to do then let me work." Max said getting a miffed look from Cherry. "Sorry, I meant let 'us' work. Still not used to this." Max said.

"Cherry, come on." Phoebe said grabbing her best friend's wrist and was about to drag her away, but Max suddenly grabbed Cherry's other wrist ceasing the movement.

"Hold it right there Pheebs, I'm paying good money and candy for her help and I'm getting my money's and candy's worth." Max said pulling Cherry back.

"Like Cherry would even voluntarily spend time with you." Phoebe said pulling her friend back.

"Actually I want to stay with Max." Cherry said.

"What?!" Phoebe, Max and Dr. Colosso exclaimed with shock.

"I mean, yeah~" Max said with a grin.

"Why?" Phoebe asked, not getting the picture.

"Yeah, why?" Dr. Colosso asked making Max lightly glare at him.

"I haven't done this in years. Nobody else would let me do this so I figured this is as good as I can get to building stuff without anybody worrying about me destroying things, putting stuff on fire or blowing things up." Cherry said.

"Which she hasn't done." Max mentioned. "Surprisingly." He mumbled in a low voice so they wouldn't hear.

"Please Phoebe, let me stay here and build." Cherry begged her bestie with puppy dog eyes with the lip.

"Don't you want to see your best friend happy?" Max said with his own puppy dog eyes and lip and rested his hands on Cherry's shoulders. Phoebe didn't know what to do, let Cherry stay, take her away or melt Max's face off; the last one being very tempting. However, Phoebe couldn't resist the look Cherry was giving her, so she caved.

"Alright fine… if that's what you want, then I won't get in the way." Phoebe said.

"Thank you Phoebe!" Cherry said with much joy as she then hugged her best friend.

"Okay, enough with the being besties thing." Max said. Once the two separated, Cherry went back to work with Max.

"Okay… so, I guess I'll be going." Phoebe said starting to slowly move back towards the stairs.

"Not without this little monster!" Colosso shouted. Phoebe went towards Colosso and Chloe and then took her baby sister back, ripping her teeth from Colosso's ear. "Ow! You don't have to be so rough!" Colosso called out as Phoebe left, but not before giving Max the 'I'll be watching you' sign. Max just rolled his eyes as he went back to work, but then Max got shocked again by a wire.

"Ow!" Max cried as he waved the hand the device shocked to ease the pain.

"You should really be more careful of those wires they're too sensitive for that tool." Cherry said making Max look at her with a blank expression.

"Oh~ apparently the expert is now the student." Colosso teased. Max then looked at him with the same blank expression before grabbing him. "Wait, I'll be good!"

Later, upstairs

Phoebe was busy playing with her sister, but every now and again she'd tried to listen in on what Max and Cherry were doing, still not fully trusting Max.

"Wahoo!" Billy cheered as he started running around the couch at a super speedy pace.

"Yeah!" Nora cheered as she ran into the room and shot her laser eye beams, trying to hit Billy.

"Billy, Nora, quit it!" Phoebe ordered as she tried holding Chloe.

"We can't!" Nora retorted still shooting lasers.

"We're too hyped up on sugar!" Billy cheered as he continued to run and avoid Nora's lasers. Phoebe then looked at Chloe and said.

"You better never be like them or we're going to have a problem." Phoebe said as Chloe just stared at her.

"We're home." Barb said as she and her husband Hank came in only to see Billy running and Nora shooting lasers.

"And now we're leaving." Hank said, but Barb stopped him and closed the door.

"Phoebe, where's Max?" Barb asked wondering why her son wasn't watching his youngest sister.

"He's probably still downstairs with his girlfriend." Billy said shocking Hank and Barb.

"Ew~ Billy! Cherry is not Max's girlfriend." Phoebe said disgusted by the thought. Billy then stopped running.

"Then why does she look at him with those eyes that I see Nora with whenever she looks at the neighbor boy? Mom says that means she like likes him." Billy asked once he stopped, but that got him a shot in the foot from one of Nora's eyebeams. "Ow!" Billy cried as he hopped on one foot.

"Wait, why is Cherry with Max?" Hank asked as he and Barb were confused.

"Apparently Cherry is actually good at building machines." Phoebe said getting surprised looks of disbelief.

"Cherry can build machines?" Hank asked still in disbelief.

"Yeah." Phoebe said knowing exactly why they were surprised.

"Cherry… the blonde girl who is also your best friend and isn't that smart." Hank said.

"Dad, she is smart. Apparently she proved it a while ago." Phoebe said.

"And, you're okay with her alone with Max?" Barb asked.

"Of course, I should learn to trust my brother more, especially with my best friend." Phoebe said in a sarcastic tone.

"Wow, she's taking the two of them dating better than I thought." Billy said with a shrug.

"They're Not Dating!" Phoebe shouted.

"Success!" Max cheered as he ran up the stairs with Cherry following. "Behold My-"

"Our." Cherry said with her arms crossed.

"Our, New Brain Drain Cannon!" Max exclaimed as he held up a device that was wrapped around his arm like an arm brace with the hand cover by what looked like a cannon, but the end of it looked like a speaker. Everyone stared at the device with shock, amazement and some fear.

"Cherry helped you built that?" Hank asked.

"I'm as shocked as you are dad." Max said, but then he stayed silent when he noticed the look Cherry was giving him.

"That's three packets you owe me not." Cherry said.

"Do I look like I'm made of money?!" Max retorted.

"Um, Max, honey, please put that away before-" but before Barb could finish, Billy sped his way to Max and stopped in front of his weapon.

"What's this button do?" Billy wondered before pressing the button which made the cannon shoot a concentrated beam at Thunderman, surrounding him in energy as he fidgeted. After a few moments the beam stopped, making Thunderman stop fidgeting as the energy that was surrounding him vanished.

"Hank?" Barb said her husband's name with worry. Suddenly Hank fell on his butt and start to cry making Barb, Nora and Billy cover their ears while Phoebe covered Chloe's from the sound of his wailing.

"It works." Max said as he and Cherry looked at Thunderman with shock. "Now for the moment of truth." Max said as he made his way to his crying father. "Hank." Max said to his crying father. "Thunderman." Max said but his father was still crying. "Hankie." Max said which made his father stop crying and look at him. "Do you think you can do me a favor and break that vase?" Max said pointing to the vase on a shelf making his father look at it.

"No! Max that was your grandmother's prized one hundred thousand year old vase, so-" but before Barb could finish, Hank rose, grabbed the vase and threw onto the floor making Max gasp as he and Cherry had a proud open mouth grins while Barb looked at the now shatter vase with tragedy. "It's now going in the trash." Barb said.

"Yes!" Max cheered with joy as he thrust his fists in the air.

"It works!" Colosso said making Phoebe and Cherry turn to him to notice he was on the couch.

"Where did the bunny come from?" Cherry questioned pointing to Colosso.

"Woohoo!" Max cheered as he quickly made his way to Cherry and grabbed her shoulders surprising her. "Thank you Cherry!" Max said as he suddenly then kissed her on the cheek making her gasp as he then ran off towards the kitchen leaving a shock Cherry and a disgusted Phoebe holding a confused Chloe. "I'm making a call to YVM!" Max called out.

"Oh so Cherry and Max are boyfriend and girlfriend." Billy said.

"No they are not!" Phoebe shouted as Cherry blushed and Colosso chuckled.

The next day at school

Phoebe made her way down the hall when she noticed Cherry at her locker singing a happy tune. Curious about what was on her mind, Phoebe made her way to her best friend.

"Hey, someone's happy." Phoebe said to a smiling Cherry. "Let me guess, Joey finally asked you out!" Phoebe said with a smirk.

"Nope." Cherry said shaking her head still retaining her smile which confused Phoebe.

"Then, why are you smiling?" Phoebe asked pointing at Cherry's smile to emphasis her question.

"Because of yesterday!" Cherry exclaimed with so much joy making Phoebe blink in surprise at her sudden joyful outburst. "I finally got to build something again! I haven't built anything in years!"

"Wait, so you mean… you're happy that you got to build with Max yesterday?" Phoebe asked emphasizing her brother's name.

"Toats yeah!" Cherry exclaimed as she leaped up like a cheerleader full of joy. "Phoebe, building things was something that was so important to me when I was young and it still is. For so long I've wanted to build something again, but I never had the opportunity to do so until yesterday."

"Well if you love building so much then why don't you do it at home?" Phoebe asked.

"Oh I tried, but those stupid mechanics and carpenters beat me to it. Next time you guys won't be so lucky Fix It Bros. Incorporated." Cherry said as she shook her fist with minor fury. "And besides, my mom doesn't like it when I build." Cherry said.

"Why?" Phoebe asked.

"Because it reminds her too much of my dad." Cherry said with a frown.

"Aw~ Cherry." Phoebe said her best friend's name with sadness. She then decided to give her best friend a comforting hug, but then she was interrupted.

"Hey Cherry!" Max shouted her name as he ran up behind her making her scream and quickly try to hide in her locker which could only hold her face. "Sorry, but anyway I got great news!" Max said making Cherry pull her face out of her locker. "The publishers of the 'YVM' magazine called me this morning and said that they were so interested in our invention that they are going to send a reporter to review it tomorrow after school!" Max said with so much joy as he and Cherry then cheered with Max thrusting his fists in the air while Cherry jumped in place and clapped with excitement. Suddenly she then hugged Max who returned it as well.

Phoebe stared at the two, feeling uncomfortable with their sudden closeness. Phoebe then cleared her throat making the two stop.

"Oh." Cherry said as she grabbed something from her locker and extended it to Phoebe. "Cough drop?" Cherry said as Phoebe just looked at her for a moment before she took it and put it in her mouth.

Later at the Thunderman's house

Phoebe was watching T.V. trying to relieve some boredom. Suddenly Max came through the door with packets of gummi rockets in his hands.

"What's with the gummi rockets?" Phoebe asked.

"Oh it's so cute how you think I would answer any of your stupid questions." Max said with a teasing smile as he jumped down the slide into his lair. Phoebe just scoffed as she returned to her television, but then the doorbell rang, so she got up and answered it to see Cherry with a bag of tools.

"Hey Cherry!" Phoebe said with a huge grin.

"Hi Phoebe." Cherry greeted her best friend before making her way to the lair's slide and tossed the tools down it. "Bye Phoebe." Cherry said before going down the slide herself. Phoebe sighed that he best friend blew her off, so she then head for the kitchen where her mother was feeding Chloe, who was in a highchair, and then she took a seat.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Barb asked her eldest daughter, but she had a clear idea what it was. "Let me guess, you're jealous that Cherry is paying more attention to Max than you."

"No! I'm just mad that Max must have messed with her head to make her build stuff with him." Phoebe said with anger. Barb just rolled her eyes at her daughter's attempt to cover up her true feeling and just went back to feeding Chloe. "I mean who knows what he did to her?! He could have-" but before she could finish her sentence, they all heard the noise of something getting broken. "What was that? Did That Come From Max's Lair?!" Phoebe questioned with worry.

"No, that was your father. Max never changed his mind back to normal." Barb said as she cleaned her hands of food bits and stood up. "Do you think you can feed Chloe?"

"Sure mom." Phoebe said.

"Hank! I mean Hankie, stop breaking things, please!" Barb shouted as she ran to find her baby minded husband. Phoebe sat next to her sister and started to feed her. "No Hank! Don't rip that out of the wall!" Barb shouted as Phoebe heard something metal sounding and the sound of rushing water.

"You better never be anything like Max if you know what's good for you." Phoebe said to her sister who just continued eating. "I mean, Max has always been a pain in my buuuu- neck, and he is always getting the upper hand on me. I mean, sure karma gives him what he deserves from time to time, but it's just that I feel like he always is… is… better than me! There I said it!" Phoebe exclaimed making Chloe look at her. "He's gotten away with a number of thing, but if there's one thing that he won't have, it's my best friend!" Phoebe said with pure determination. "You know, you're actually really good at this." Phoebe said with a smile as Chloe continued to stare at her.

Later

"Altering taste buds so that people can only taste Brussel sprouts! I love it!" Max exclaimed as he and Cherry started working on a new invention. "How did you come up with this?" Max asked Cherry.

"Easy, everyone hates Brussel sprouts." Cherry said with a shrug.

"So true." Max said as he inwardly berated himself for not thinking of something that should have been so obvious.

"You're telling me. Those twerps you call Nora and Billy put some in my food bowl. Those little devils." Dr. Colosso said.

"Hey guys." The three turned to see Phoebe coming down the steps.

"Hi Phoebe!" Cherry said her best friend's name with a grin as she waved her hand at her.

"So~ what are you two doing?" Phoebe asked as she made her way to them.

"Don't say anything." Dr. Colosso said to the two.

"I'm just-" Max then stopped when he saw Cherry's annoyed look. "We're just doing our thing." Max quickly said but Cherry still gave him her look. "Sorry, I'm still not used to working with someone else." Max said.

"Ahem." Colosso said.

"Someone who's not Dr. Colosso." Max said.

"Thank you." Colosso said.

"So~ what does this thing do?" Phoebe said pointing to the machine.

"Please stand at least three feet away from my clients' machine." Colosso said.

"Clients? What are you their lawyer?" Phoebe said.

"Actually yes, and I only requested one packet of gummi rockets… each."

"Wait, but I never gave you any gummi rockets." Max said to Colosso.

"Oh, I did. I figured he could help with anything we can't since he's been doing stuff like this longer than us." Cherry said.

"That's… actually a smart move." Max said with surprise.

"This girl is on fire!" Colosso exclaimed in a singing voice. "By the way, your hours are up, so pay up." Colosso said. Cherry then went to Max's bed, lifted the mattress a bit and took out two packets of gummi rockets and handed them to Colosso.

"Wait, you have a whole stash of gummi rockets?" Phoebe questioned her brother.

"A secret stash, Cherry." Max said as he said Cherry's name so she'd get he was talking about what she did.

"Oh." Cherry said realizing her mistake as she quickly turned to Phoebe and said. "Phoebe, pretend you never saw anything. This is all a dream~" Cherry said as she waved her hands around Phoebe's face with the female Thunderman blinking at this action. "Max, I think she's starting to believe it." Cherry whispered to Max. "See, I think the blink means that it's working." Cherry said as Max just looked at the action with a blank expression. Phoebe just looked around the lair with her eyes when she noticed the Brain Drain Cannon.

"There it is." Phoebe whispered.

"What?" Cherry asked.

"I said, wow since it's obvious that Colosso is so good at his job, then maybe I should hire him." Phoebe said.

"Glad to see you come around." Colosso said with a smirk. "My fee is one packet of gummi rockets or an easy payment of a hundred and twenty dollars per person, and all sales are final. Especially the gummi rockets because I finish them quick." Colosso said as he then suddenly burped out a gummi that fell on the floor. "That's mine! Blondie pick it up for me." Colosso said making Cherry and Phoebe look disgusted. Phoebe then went to Max's bed to get the gummi's and achieve her real task.

"Hey, not my stash!" Max exclaimed.

"You want me to tell Billy and Nora?" Phoebe suggested.

"Take as many as you want." Max said with a fake grin letting Phoebe gat back to the task at hand. "And by many I mean one." Max said. Phoebe lifted up the mattress a bit, but then she used her telekinesis to move the cannon a bit and unscrewed some of the bolts and screws and then put it back behind the bed. After the deed was done, she quickly took out a packet of gummi rockets.

"Got 'em." Phoebe said as she headed back to the three to see Cherry put the saliva covered gummi rocket in Colosso's mouth.

"Could that have taken you another two hundred years?" Max said with his arms crossed as Cherry quickly grabbed a rag and wipe the saliva off of her hand. Phoebe then went to Colosso and gave him the packet.

"Thank you. Now for my first suggestion, get a new hair style, it looks like it was attacked by a badger trying to find a squirrel in it." Colosso said making Phoebe roll her eyes before she started to leave, but once she climbed a few steps up the stairs, they heard something glass break.

"Maximus Octavius Thunderman! I know you can hear me! Come upstairs and return your father's brain back to normal!" Barb called out.

"And for my second suggestion, Max, barricade the entrances." Colosso said.

The next day at school

Phoebe went outside for lunch to get some fresh air, but mainly because the janitor confused p.m. with a.m. to wax the floors. Once she was outside, she saw Cherry waving her hand at Phoebe making Phoebe smile as the young Thunderman made her way to her best friend and sat down next

"OMG Phoebe, I'm so excited about today!" Cherry exclaimed with excitement and joy.

"You're excited about being a part of a young super villains' magazine?" Phoebe questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"No! I'm excited because I might finally get praised for my work at building again! It's been so long and I missed it when my dad used to say 'great job my little mechanic'. I mean it may not come from my dad, but any praise for my work is good enough." Cherry said with a smile. Phoebe looked at her friend with a bit of sadness, but also remorse for what she did to her machine. She felt she needed to come clean.

"Cherry… I-"

"Cherry!" The two turned to see Max run towards them with a rolled up blueprint in his hands and sat down next to the blonde of the two. "I'm glad I caught you, I have got something that I think you'll love!" Max said with excitement.

"What's got you so excited?" Phoebe questioned.

"Quiet Phoebe, inventors are talking." Max said offending and annoying his sister.

"Why are you so excited?" Cherry asked.

"Because of this." Max said as he opened up the rolled up blueprint to reveal the design.

"A robot?! Is it as tall as a skyscraper?!" Cherry asked with great excitement.

"I wish, but it's taller and bigger than my dad and that's what matters." Max said.

"This could take us a while to make."

"I know but-" Max then noticed a male African American teen with curly hair wearing a white shirt with a short sleeve yellow with black and grey unbuttoned flannel shirt, a dog tag necklace around his neck, black jeans and black with white sneakers staring at the blueprint over his shoulder. "Do you mind?" Max said making the teen leave. "Anyway, this could take us a long time-"

"A long time?" Phoebe questioned with some worry.

"But who could say no to building this bad boy?!"

"Not me that's for sure!" Cherry said with excitement as she and Max then high-fived each other. Phoebe looked at the two with some anger; last thing she wants is for Cherry to forget about her and go spend all her time with Max. "Oh, Phoebe what were you about to say before?" Cherry asked turning to her best friend.

"Oh, just… I'm happy for you." Phoebe said with a fake smile. Cherry grinned at this and started going over the blueprints with Max.

The Thunderman's home, afterschool

"No Hank, please-" Barb was then interrupted by the sound of something fragile breaking. "And there goes the fine china." Barb said with gloom.

"I thought China was a place. Boy were the schools wrong." Billy said making Nora sigh at his stupidity. Suddenly the door opened to reveal Phoebe, Max and Cherry.

"There you are! Maximus Octavius Thunderman, change your father back to normal this instant!" Barb ordered.

"Okay, but only after the interview." Max said.

"What interview?" Barb asked.

"Alert, alert: Interviewer at the door." The computer monitor said.

"That must be the interviewer! Quick Cherry, open the door, I'll go get the cannon!" Max shouted with excitement as he ran towards his slide and slid down it into his lair. Cherry then quickly made it to the door, but before she opened it, she cleaned her dress of anything that could have gotten on it. She then opened the door only to look confused to see the African American teen from school earlier with a clipboard and pen. "I'm back!" Max shouted as he came back upstairs only to have a surprised look to see the teen from earlier as he came into the house. "You're the interviewer?" Max said with shock. The teen then grabbed his dog tag and pressed it causing him to change his look into an adult man with a bald head and wearing a grey suit shocking everyone.

(Think of Ron Butler; you know the guy who played Oscar from True Jackson VP.)

"Yes, yes I am." The man said.

"That's so cool! How did you do that?" Billy asked with amazement.

"Easy. I had a special device attached to the back of my neck with this dog tag wirelessly connected to it that allows me to change my appearance completely." The man said grabbing his pen and clicking it.

"Did it hurt getting it?" Nora asked.

"Greatly." The man said writing something down on his clipboard. "So can we get this interview started? I'm not comfortable being in a house made up of mostly superheroes." The man said gesturing to everyone besides Max and Cherry.

"Wait, how do you know that this house is filled with superheroes?" Nora asked.

"Have you been spying on us?!" Phoebe questioned.

"Me along with other workers of YVM." The man said.

"Why?" Barb asked.

"Two reasons. One, to make sure our young villain is legit, and two, to make sure it's not a trap." The man said.

"Smart." Cherry said. "Mr. ~"

"Call me Cyrus." The man now known as Cyrus said.

"Can we call you Cy?" Billy asked.

"No." Cyrus said.

"I'll call you Cy." Bill said making Cyrus roll his eyes.

"Anyway, shall we get started?" Cyrus said.

"Of course." Max said. "Cherry, if you'd would."

"What's the magic word?" Cherry said.

"*Sigh*… please." Max said.

"Is she not a villain?" Cyrus asked pointing to Cherry.

"Are you here to criticize or are you here for the invention?" Max said.

"Fair enough." Cyrus said with a shrug. Cherry then took out her phone and pressed a button which caused the sound of a drum roll.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Nerds and Dorks! I present the next number one evil invention of the world! The Brain Drain Cannon!" Max exclaimed as he thrust the cannon upward as Cherry then pressed a button that caused sounds of trumpets for the big reveal.

"Introduction clichéd, yet fitting." Cyrus said as he wrote it down. "Go on."

"Behold, this is the result of our first test ride." Max said gesturing to his father who was playing with blocks. "You see, the cannon's main function is that it alters the mind into one of a baby's, but the mind also sponges commands, such as this."

"Max don't-"

"Hankie, punch that wall!" Max commanded ignoring his mother. Hank then stood up and punched through the wall.

"Not bad, but how do I know that your father isn't just pretending to get you into the magazine?" Cyrus questioned.

"A demonstration then." Max said as he then pressed a button, but right when he was about to wrap it around his arm, it started to shake and beep weirdly a bit. "What the heck?" Max questioned. Suddenly the cannon shot out a beam that went passed Cyrus' head and destroyed the wall causing a hole in it making Cyrus scream as he realized that could have been him with a hole in his head.

Suddenly the cannon started to sporadically move around the floor as it started shooting beams randomly.

"Hit the deck!" Max shouted as everyone ran behind furniture as the cannon shot dangerous beams. A beam then shot near Chloe, who was sitting in her toddler seat.

"My Baby!" Barb shouted as she rushed towards Chloe, took her out of her seat and rushed back behind the couch. Hank fell on his butt as he cried and wailed. "Hank!" Barb shouted with worry for her husband's safety. She quickly gave Chloe to Nora then ran towards the kitchen but had to dive forward into it the kitchen to avoid being shot at by multiple beams. Barb then quickly went into a cabinet and grabbed some beef jerky, unwrapped it. "Hankie, look, beef jerky!" Barb said waving the piece of meat from the kitchen's entrance. Hank then stood up and went towards the kitchen to get the jerky with his hands extended to grab it.

Once he was out of harm's way, it was time for Barb to do the only rational action she could do now.

"Max, stop that crazy machine!" Barb shouted at her eldest son.

Suddenly the beam shot straight at the couch, causing a hole in it with Cherry and Phoebe poking their faces near it before the cannon started shooting the couch making them scream as the went for a new hiding spot. Cherry quickly ran out from behind the couch, but the cannon then aimed at her, ready to fire.

"Cherry!" Phoebe shouted her friend's name with worry and fear of her getting blasted.

"No!" Max shouted as he quickly dived towards Cherry, pushing her out of the way right before the beam blast her and Max.

"I got this!" Billy exclaimed as he super speed his way to the machine.

"Wait, Billy, the button to shut it off is-" but before Max could finish, Billy pressed a button that caused the cannon to shut down. "How'd you know where the shutdown button was?" Max asked.

"Easy, I just pressed the button that had the word off it." Billy said with a shrug.

"I knew that would help." Cherry said. Everyone the came out of their hiding spots. They all looked around to see the whole house had holes in it.

"Whoa, looks like I missed everything." Colosso said appearing on the couch next to Cyrus' head making the interviewer look at him with surprise and confusion. "So anyone care to explain why the whole house looks like it's made of Swiss cheese?"

"Max… you saved me." Cherry said as she looked at Max with surprised expression.

"Yeah… I guess I did." Max said surprised at himself.

"And I almost got her killed." Phoebe said to herself with guilt as she saw Max stand up and offered Cherry his hand which she gladly took with a smile.

"Well… that was… frightening." Cyrus said moving from behind the couch as he stood up and wrote something down in his clipboard.

"Mr. Cyrus, I am so sorry, I don't know what happened-"

"Save it Thunderman, I know exactly what happened." Cyrus said.

"You do?" Phoebe questioned with worry.

"Yes. It's obvious that this little miss did something wrong." Cyrus said pointing to Cherry with his pen.

"Cherry?" Phoebe said.

"Yes. Next time young miss, leave the super villain stuff to the real deal." Cyrus said as he continued to write stuff down. Phoebe and Max saw the sad look on Cherry's face.

"Wait, Mister, it wasn't Cherry's fault." Phoebe said getting Cyrus attention. "It was-"

"Me." Max said.

"Say what?" Phoebe said.

"Say what?" Cyrus said.

"Say what?" Cherry said.

"Say what?" Colosso said.

"Say what?" Barb, Nora and Billy said.

Suddenly everyone heard the sound of something being turned on making them look to see Hank turning on the machine only to be blasted by it making him release it and twitch as he was surrounded by energy before he was turned back to normal.

"Hey! I'm back to normal!" Hank said with a grin. "Wait, what did just Max say?" Hank asked with surprise.

"I said… it was my fault." Max said.

"Your fault?" Cyrus questioned.

"Well most likely, I mean, Cherry…" Max turned to her before turning back to Cyrus. "Cherry's a better inventor than me." Max confessed shocking everyone. "I mean, I got shocked a few times and she actually was the one to fix my brain melt helmet and she was the one who made my cannon work. In fact, I probably… I would have been still trying to build the cannon right now if it wasn't for her. She's the real genius." Max said shocking everyone, but then made Cherry smile. "Wow… I can't believe I said that." Max said.

"Oh Max." Cherry said as she then hugged Max, shocking him, but then he returned it. Once Cherry separated she noticed something on the floor near the cannon. "Wait a minute." Cherry then went towards the cannon and then bent down to pick up a screw. "This screw was loose." Cherry said, but then she noticed more loose screws on the machine. "Wait, all these screws are loose." Cherry said.

"What?" Max said as he made his way next to Cherry and saw that she was right. "Your right. I thought they were all tightened."

"They were." Cherry said as she and Max stood up.

"Uh, Max, where exactly did you hide the cannon?" Colosso asked.

"Behind my bed." Max said.

"Hm~, if memory serves right that's where little miss goody good here was yesterday." Colosso said as he turned to Phoebe making everyone look at her.

"Um, well… uh…"

"Don't try lying sister. With all the carrots I've eaten these eyes can see everything. Like that fly on Billy's shoulder." Colosso said making Billy look at his shoulder to see a fly there like Colosso said.

"Hey, he's right. I'll call you Myron." Billy said with a smile, but then suddenly the fly flew away. "Myron wait! Where are you going?! Take me with you! I thought you loved me!" Billy cried out as he extended his hands out to catch 'Myron'.

"Phoebe, you sabotaged me?" Cherry asked her friend with shock and hurt.

"Us." Max said to Cherry.

"Oh, you I can understand." Cherry said making Max adopt an offended look, but then he shrugged his shoulders and had an agreeing look on is face.

"Well… it's just…"

"A hero causing a villain's work to go awry. Of course, happens all the time." Cyrus said.

"This happened before?" Max asked.

"Oh yeah. In fact, you know Frankenstein's monster? Apparently it was supposed to have an I.Q. of three hundred, but sadly someone switched the brains and blamed poor Igor. A lot of good lackeys lose their jobs that way." Cyrus said.

"Look, Mr. Cyrus, we're sorry about today, we-"

"I am leaving." Cyrus said producing saddened looks on Max's and Cherry's faces. "I'll be back by the end of the week to see the real presentation." Cyrus said shocking the others.

"Seriously?!" Max said with new hope.

"I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. A machine that actually caused Thunderman to act like a fat old baby is something that cannot be ignored." Cyrus said with a smile causing Thunderman to pout and glare at him.

"We got a second chance!" Cherry shouted with joy as she and Max then grabbed each other's hands and jumped up and down.

"Good day all." Cyrus said as he headed for the door, but then he stopped and turned towards Colosso. "Quick question though, by the sound of that rabbit's voice, is that Dr. Colosso?" Cyrus asked as he pointed at Colosso with his pen.

"Oh yeah, shot him with the Animalizer a few years back." Hank said with pride and a smirk as he placed his hands on his hips while Colosso glared at him.

"A few years, huh? Thanks." Cyrus said before opening the door. "Now I got something to tell the publishers about that 'new' Animatron." Cyrus said before leaving out the door.

"Ha! Take that Mark Brakowski!" Max cheered for his new victory.

"Who's Mark Brakowski?" Cherry asked.

"A poser now." Max said as he then laughed evilly. Phoebe took the opportunity to tiptoe towards the backdoor to get away from the scene to avoid trouble.

"Hold it right there missy!" Colosso shouted making everyone turn to a now still Phoebe. "I will admit that it was good excuse to use gummi rockets on me to drive away suspicion, but how dare you make a mockery of my legit business!"

"Phoebe, what did you do?" Barb demanded an answer from her daughter.

"Oh it's obvious what she did, she messed with our machine!" Max said.

"You said our machine." Cherry said with a smile.

"Not now Cherry."

"Phoebe why did you mess with Max's machine?" Barb asked.

"Even if it was a good thing." Hank said.

"Hank, she caused our house to look like Swiss cheese!" Barb exclaimed referring to the holes all over the house.

"Well at least it doesn't smell like Swiss cheese." Hank said with a shrug.

"Phoebe, why did you do this?" Cherry asked.

"Well… *sigh* because I was jealous that you were spending more time with Max then with me." Phoebe said surprising Cherry. "I mean I thought that after you were done with this thing that we'd spend time together again, but then you guys started working on more things like that things I saw yesterday-"

"Which was genius." Max admitted with a shrug making Cherry smile, albeit still berating himself on the inside for not coming up with it himself.

"And that giant robot you guys were planning to make."

"What giant robot?" Barb asked.

"Mom, this is about Phoebe right now." Max said.

"I was worried that you'd forget about me and spend all your time with Max." Phoebe said.

"Phoebe that's crazy. We've been besties since we were kids, I'll always have time for you whenever you want to hang out." Cherry said as she walked up to her best friend.

"I'm sorry Cherry."

"Ahem." Max said.

"And I'm sorry Max." Phoebe said with annoyance, especially since he smirked smugly.

"Could you ever forgive me?" Phoebe said to Cherry.

"Hm, well I could if-" but before Max could finish, Phoebe used her telekinesis to make Max's right hand that held the cannon hit him in the face making him slightly dazed.

"Phoebe, of course I forgive you." Cherry said as she and Phoebe hugged it out. Suddenly Cherry got a text making her grab her phone. "*Sigh* my mom needs me back home. See you tomorrow at school?"

"Definitely." Phoebe said with a smile that Cherry returned before they gave each other one last hug. Cherry then headed towards the door, but then stop when she heard Max's voice.

"Hey, uh, I'll walk you home." Max said.

"Really?" Max's family said with shock.

"Thanks Max." Cherry said with a smile as she and Max went out the door.

"Okay I'm confused, if Phoebe says that they aren't dating how come he's walking her home?" Billy asked.

"Well because Max is finally doing something good." Barb said to her son.

"But he saved her and admitted that she was better than him at something; Max pretty much defended her the whole time, plus he finally called the cannon his and Cherry's, and if you add in the fact that they have been spending more time together, then that could obvious lead to a relationship." Billy said causing everyone to look at him with shock.

"Billy… how did you-"

"I sometimes read mom's romance novels." Billy said answering Nora's question.

"You read my books?" Barb said with a joyful smile.

"It helps me get to sleep faster at night." Billy said making his mother's smile turn into a frown.

"Wait a second… Cherry knows how to build machines, Max doing good and being nice, Phoebe doing something selfish that almost killed the whole family and Billy reading and learning about relationships?" Hank said as his eyes widen and he started to freak out a bit. "What's going on? This isn't normal. I'm scared! Am I even in the right house?! Am I in another dimension?! This is your doing isn't it Dr. Colosso!" Hank said pointing at Colosso accusingly.

"Huh? I mean, ha ha! Yes, Thunderman! Behold my newest evil scheme. A world where everything is backwards and where rabbits are the supreme overlords! Now go make me a sandwich." Colosso said.

"Never!" Thunderman shouted as he got into his ready to fly position. "Thunderman! Away!" Thunderman shouted as he then flew through the roof and into the sky.

"Huh… I honestly didn't expect that." Colosso said and then chuckled at Hank's moment of gullibility.

Cherry and Max

Walking away from the house, Cherry kept looking at Max and decided to speak.

"Hey Max." Cherry spoke.

"Hm?" Max said turning to her.

"Thank you… for what you did back there." Cherry said.

"For saving you from getting lasered or for standing up for you when Cyrus said it was your fault?"

"Both, and for letting me build with you. It really means a lot that you did all these things for me." Cherry said with a smile.

"Oh please don't get all mushy on me; remember, super villain." Max said pointing to himself with his thumbs.

"I know, but just because you're a villain doesn't mean you have to always be a jerk. I mean you are friends with the rabbit and Phoebe did say that he was a super villain." Cherry said. Max was about to retort but then when he thought about it, Cherry did have a point; which was once again shocking to him.

"Okay, good point." Max said. "But still!" Max shouted making Cherry giggle.

"Anyway, after we're done fixing the cannon, can we work on the robot?" Cherry asked.

"What do you think?" Max said with a smirk.

"Oh, never mind then, I guess." Cherry said looking down.

"No, I mean-"

"Ha! Got you!" Cherry said as she laughed. Max sighed but he had a small smile on his face. "But seriously, it feels great that you let me build with you. I haven't done that kind of stuff since-"

"I know." Max said.

"My dad moved away." Cherry finished.

"Oh." Max said surprised.

"What?"

"Nothing." Max said. The ways she mentioned her dad before made it sound like he was dead so this was a bit of a shocker.

"Anyway, thanks." Cherry said with a smile before she leaned in and kissed Max's cheek, shocking him.

"Uh… what was that?" Max said.

"It was my way of thanking you." Cherry said with a smile. "Wait, do you think this means I like you, like you, because I don't; at least not that way."

"Oh *pfft* yeah, I know."

"I mean no way."

"Yeah same here."

"Never."

"Of course not."

"So we're on the same page?"

"Totally." Max said as the two then returned their gazes away from each other.

"It's a nice day." Cherry said.

"Eh, I've seen gloomier." Max said with a smirk.

The two then laughed a bit as they then continued walking.

The next day at school

Cherry was busy putting stuff back into her locker and preparing for her next class; doing the normal school thing.

"Hey Cherry." Cherry turned to see Phoebe.

"Hey Phoebe."

"Are you feeling okay today?" Phoebe asked.

"Phoebe, I said I forgave you." Cherry said closing her locker.

"I know." Phoebe said. "So~… are you doing anything with Max today?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, we still have that cannon to finish before the end of the week." Cherry said.

"Right… the one I destroyed." Phoebe said feeling guilty. "Say Cherry, just wondering… what do you think of Max?"

"He's a cool guy. Why?"

"Well, I mean this is a long shot and could be a stupid thought, but… do you have a thing for my brother?" Phoebe asked. Cherry looked at Phoebe with wide eyes before she started to laugh.

"Yeah right! Me and Max."

"I know, right?" Phoebe said joining in.

"I mean 'ugh'"

"Like that would ever happen." Phoebe then checked her watch to see the time. "Oh, we better hurry to class before we get in trouble with Mr. Allworth. Oh, by the way, how did you get your phone back?"

"Mr. Allworth finally thought of being nice for once and gave it back to me." Cherry said.

"Oh, cool. Well, let's go." Phoebe said as she walked off.

Cherry stood back for a bit as she took out her phone and checked her pictures to see a selfie of her and Max in front of a chalkboard that said 'Mr. Allworth is All-lame' making her giggle, but then she slide her screen too see a different picture of her and Max doing a celebratory selfie after finishing the Brain Drain Cannon. She smiled at the picture, but as she stared at Max she sighed dreamily.

"Cherry!" Phoebe called out her best friend's name.

"Coming." Chery said as she put away her phone and head towards her next class.

After school at the Thunderman's house

Barb and Hank were looking over an estimated bill for all the damages to the house with dread.

"All this just to fix a Swiss cheese house?" Hank said as he stared at the expensive price.

"Plus the things that you broke when you were baby Hankie." Barb said.

"All this because of Max and Phoebe. Having kids is getting expensive. We're not having any more kids." Hank said shaking his head.

"Not planning to." Barb said.

"By the way, did we ground Max for turning me into a man baby?" Hank asked.

"Ugh, I wondered what I was forgetting. Max you're grounded!" Barb shouted, but there was no reply.

"I don't think he's home." Hank said making Barb sigh.

"Oh no!" Colosso shouted from Max's room. "Stupid rabbit hands! I can't believe I used Max and Cherry's new growth ray to enlarge this steak into a five ton giant!" Colosso shouted. Hank then perked up after hearing what Colosso said.

"Five ton steak?" Hank said. Hank then quickly got up and headed for Max's lair.

"Hank, wait!" Barb called out to her husband, but he was already running downstairs.

"Five ton dream come true, here's Hankie!" Hank exclaimed with joy and excitement, but once he was downstairs he was shot with the newly repaired Brain Drain Cannon turning his mind back into one of a baby.

"Excellent." Colosso said with a smirk as he put his claw off of the cannon. "Okay Hankie, you see that 'toy' over there?" Colosso said pointing to the Animalizer making Hank look at it. "I want you to grab for me." Colosso ordered. Hank then went to the machine and grabbed it. "Good. Now aim it at me and press the trigger. I'd do it myself, but these bunny hands aren't really good for the job." Colosso said, but then Hank raised it above his head. "Hey wait, what are you doing?!" Colosso questioned with worry. Then sudden Hank threw the weapon hard onto the ground, breaking it. "No! ~ Now I'm stuck like this forever! ~" Colosso whined, but then he noticed the way Hank was looking at him. "Uh… what are you looking at baby man?" Colosso questioned.

"Bun bun." Hank said as he extended his hands toward Colosso as he made his way to him.

"Hey, no! Stay back! Max! AH!" After a few moments, Max went downstairs into his lair. "Max!" Max heard Colosso call his name making him turn towards him only to look shocked as he saw Colosso's face popping out of his dad's mouth. "Hey~ buddy. Heh heh, do you think you can help an old friend out and get me out of this germ ridden hole. A sewer's cleaner than this." Colosso said.

Max just stared at the sight for a few moments with a weirded out expression.

"How is that even possible?" Max questioned.

"I'm warning you big boy, if you swallow me another inch, you'll be washing your mouth out for two years after what I got in store for you." Colosso said.

End of Chapter 1

It took a while to write this considering I had some inconveniences. I loved doing this, especially Colosso's scenes; he's really got to get his own Easter Day marathon on Nick one of these days.

Anyway, as you can tell I plan on making more chapters. In fact, I plan on making a Halloween Special called 'Five Nights At Cherry's'. It just kind of came to me.

So yeah, I plan having some big things for the future of this story.

And I bet you all had your minds on why I made Cherry good at building stuff. Well I figured she had to have a talent so why not one that she can have in common with Max?

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed it.
