Ye Olde Sidekick Village Sidekick

# We are Splitsboro kids And we go to Sidekick School

# Learning to be second best While playing by the rules.

# Maxum Man is missing Now we rule the school

# Flying, smashing, bashing stuff And looking super cool!

# I'm a Sidekick! Sidekick! That's the life for me

# Half-sized super zeros With full-sized super dreams!

# I'm a Sidekick! Sidekick! What an awesome gig

# Just like superheroes Just like super zeros

# But only half as big! SIDEKICK!

Eugh. I hate chaperoning field trips.

Are we zer yet? Are we zer yet? I can't wait!

Zis is like a mini vacation.

In fact, it IS my vacation.

I hate my job.

I'm going to record every bit of this mystery field trip

on my hover camera, so we can relive it whenever we want.

I know what you mean. I have tons of video of us together.

-What?

-What?

KITTY HUMS

Uh... So, where do you think we're going?

It's a field trip.

We have made it to our destination.

Behold the glory of Ye Olde Sidekick Village.

-No-o-o-o!

-No way!

What's wrong with all of you?

This place looks amazing!

Moo!

Amazing? Have you EVER been on a field trip before?

Of course. It started out much like all field trips do.

Woohoo!

Pterodactyl pizza field trip!

You wouldn't believe how good that pizza was!

Seriously. Really good.

Dude, did that field trip happen in your head?

-Yes. Yes, it did.

-Sweet.

Howdy, young pioneers. I'm Sheriff Marshall.

Look! A real, fake, old timey Sheriff!

What happened?

Weren't no technology back in the pioneer days.

So ain't none of it going to work in here.

W-W-What?! This is impossible! I've lost my high-speed connection!

What?!

THEY GROAN

But how are we supposed to text what a miserable time we're having?

They didn't need these fancy-schmancy gadgets back in yore,

so you don't need 'em now.

Y'all are gonna love it here.

Look around and learn all about the good old days.

Before we needed to plug stuff in.

Come on, it won't be so bad.

Activate hydraulic walking device!

Seriously?

We've got to actually walk?!

Fine. Whatever. I can do that.

ERIC GASPS FOR AIR

Yargh!

Super-speed butter churning factory?

The super hall of mirrors?

The general utility build store?

There's a show called When Times Were Boring! Let's check it out.

Hey, where's Trevor?

This old timey stuff...

Old timey stinks.

Where can I plug this in?

Nope.

Nope.

HORSE WHINNIES

TREVOR GASPS

Ooh. And what do we have here?

A roped-off place where I should not go?

Or should I?

I believe I should.

Hello there, maniacal-looking old man.

Have you seen an electrical outlet any...

ARGH! OW!

Look! I'd recognise those grubby paw prints anywhere.

-They're either Trevor's or a yeti's.

-I'll take the yeti.

I hope he's OK. Where could he be...?

Eric! Help! I'm trapped

and I can't find a plug anywhere!

Let me out!

Trevor, stop goofing around. We're not supposed to be in here.

You're bang on there, partner.

MARSHAL LAUGHS MANIACALLY

Don't you think you could've said, "Eric, help! But, be careful,

"there's a madman in here with me!"

Probably. Maybe next time.

I'm sure this will happen again.

-You betcha.

-Yuh-huh.

-I know, right?

Let us out of here! What are you up to?

What is that ancient-looking and therefore scary thing?

Oh, you want to know what I'm up to, do ya?

-Yeah.

-You want to know what this is, do ya?

-Yeah.

You want to get me to spill my guts and tell ya my evil plan, do ya?

Yeah!

Fine. Give me your watch.

Ooh. An old-timey magic trick.

I like that.

I got that for my birthday.

Behold! The Anachronotochron.

A-a-and how would you spell that?

Never mind.

Just prepare for the world to be boot-scooted

into a candlelit, television-less, horse-and-buggy future.

Thanks to this.

No TV?!

You might lock me in jail, turn my watch into a bigger watch

made of wood, but take away my TV, I don't think so!

Let's show this guy what technology can do!

Laser watch power...on!

A sundial? I don't even know what that is.

Huh? How do you work this thing?

Ow!

I must have something in my automated utility backpack.

Beans?!

Don't worry, Maxum Brain will take care of this relic.

Maxum Brain, come in. We're trapped in the jail and...

Phone booth? Ha!

A modern sidekick always carries a spare quarter in his sock.

For candy emergencies.

DING

Hello? Maxum Brain? Are you there?

No. It's Trevor.

Can I take a message?

Hello? Hello?

Huh. I guess I hung up.

Argh!

Well, this has been fun and all,

but it's time to add some horsepower to the Anachronotochron.

The whole world's going to learn how things are supposed to be done.

The hard way.

HE LAUGHS MANIACALLY

Say goodbye to your digiogits.

We gotta get out of here before Sheriff Marshall takes away my TV.

And plunges the world back into the Dark Ages. That too.

It's no use! Without technology, what am I?

No phone, no instant messaging, no texts, no use living!

I haven't zapped a cyber ogre or cleared a level all day!

TREVOR ANGRY!

Come on, don't give up. We're smart. Mostly.

We're crafty. A little.

And, most importantly, we're sidekicks.

Used to being hopelessly trapped by crazy villains.

We've got everything we need to escape right here. Are you with me?

Let's do this!

-Yeah!

-Yes!

Uh... Can we get down now?

Yeah. That's long enough.

ARGH!

All right, team, now let's bust out of here with this...

..dripping mess?

We're hosed.

What are we going to do now?! Without technology, we're useless!

That's quite a pickle. I like pickles. Do you have a pickle?

Trevor, how did you get out?

This place is super old.

The door's rusted.

Have you been paying attention at all?

-Hold it right there!

-Darn it.

I knew I should've sprung for rust-proofing in the jail.

Yeah, well, you didn't.

And now we're going to stop you!

Um... How are we going to stop him?

Uh... There are so many things we can do. We can... Er...

Erm...

We can...

Well, there's always...

Yeah, I got nothing.

Wooden shoes?

How did anyone ever walk in these?

Whoa!

AAARRRGH!

The hall of mirrors!

But if we break a mirror, it'll be seven years of bad luck!

Yeah. Bad luck would be awful(!)

SHERIFF MARSHALL: There ain't no hiding from the past!

Ha-ha. Hey, Eric, look!

This mirror makes me look fat. Eugh-eugh.

And this one makes me look thin.

And this one makes me look old and sheriffy.

That's you. That's him.

-Eurgh! ALL:

-ARGH!

Gotcha!

Time for you young'uns to get back to the basics.

Oh, yeah? Well, I don't need technology to beat you!

I'm a sidekick.

All I need is...this.

Yaaaah!

Uh-oh.

No!

Yargh!

Ooh.

Argh.

Eurgh.

HE JABBERS

Um... I totally meant to do that.

-Right.

-Yay, Eric, anyway!

Can I keep the monkey?

Seriously, I'm keeping the monkey!

BLEEPING

It's over! Look at this! I have 712 messages! I missed you so much!

Yay! We're back to normal!

Zero messages. Yep, we're back to normal.

You missed the candle-making seminar.

But, don't worry, we can all go when we come back next year!

You know, maybe the Sheriff was right.

Maybe the old days WERE the good old days.

Maybe we don't need video games and TVs and gadgets to entertain us.

You want to go to the computer store and smell the keyboards?

-I'm in.

-You bet.

-Try to stop me!

All hail technology!

May it live for ever!

THEY CHEER

Ooh-ooh-aah-aah-aah-aah.
