Ready?

Set.

Go.

You ready to beg, Herc?

I don't think so.

Hey, my bad.

Thanks, but I'm saving the good stuff for later.

Boy, your mom's not coming to parents' day. Oh, no.

Yours are.

Someone's got to make you look good.

Save your strength.

My parents aren't coming.

What did you say?

What I meant was they're not coming together.

See, my dad's got to finish off this little war thing, and then he's going to

meet my mom here.

Good. We have much to talk about.

Not only the good stuff, though, right?

Remember, Euless, he who admits his mistakes becomes a wiser man.

I guess after today I'll be a genius.

We all live in hope.

Have you seen the oldest?

I should probably meet his father and hear some more stories and all that.

You know, I don't think his dad's coming. I found this near his locker.

Look who's here.

What? You didn't even give your invitation to your parents. There's a

good explanation.

Really? Well, is it one that prevents Chiron from giving you detention for the

rest of your life?

Absolutely. Oh, that's good.

What is it?

Here comes Mom and Dad.

Uh, that's not your mom.

And I'm just guessing here, but that's not your dad, is it? They are so my

parents.

I hired them for the day.

Excuse me, you what?

How beautiful, boy.

Mom, Dad, I'm Eos.

How beautiful, boy.

In an age of light and darkness, Zeus, king of the gods,

ruled the universe.

He had a son, young Hercules.

Young Hercules longs to find his place in the world, the father he's never

known, and what it means to be a hero.

Before the man became legend, before the legend became myth, came the greatest

adventure of all.

Ah, that, well, surely you can remember Hercules.

Ah, yes, Hercules, the newly crowned king of Corinth.

Brian?

No, that's Jason.

But that was good. I believed it.

Yeah.

Aeolus, can I talk to you alone? Not right now.

They don't even know you. A friend owed me a favor when he told me about these

actors. I thought they could be my parents for Parents' Day.

Hey, you know who would have been better? Who? Your real ones. Hey, my

parents are always disappointed in me. I thought I saved them the trouble.

I can see it right now.

It's never going to work.

Look, the only people that know they're not my parents are you and Alcimene. And

your mom isn't coming.

Hercules!

I thought you said she was sick. I guess she got better. Well, you know they're

not my parents.

You've got to help me, Hercules. Please, oh please, I'll get expelled.

Okay. Oh, yes.

Fine. Go to your review, all right? But then I want those thespians out of here.

Okay. Thanks, man. You're brilliant. Fine.

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

Mom.

We made it. Oh, silly Cole. Can't keep me away from my son.

Look at that, Yoli. No, just look like him. Okay, over here.

How are you?

Fine, honey.

Well, there's a fine hello.

Nina, you made it.

Barely. This place is a lot further than I thought.

Little doctor, what are you wearing?

So sporty.

You like it?

And you used to be so pretty.

Oh, well, am I the first to arrive?

Actually, you're the last.

But that's okay. The most important thing is that you're... What are you

for? Show me around.

We don't have all day.

This is where we eat. I see.

So, how's the food?

Oh, well, I'm still alive.

Just kidding. It's just not as good as yours.

Oh, oh.

Sir, hi.

Chiron, this is my mother, Alcamany. And Alcamany, this is Chiron.

So nice to finally meet you.

It's my pleasure, Alcamany.

You have a fine son in Hercules.

Yes, I know. I pay him to say that.

Have you seen anyone acting suspiciously? What? What? No. No. Hmm.

Why, do you ask?

The constable from the next town sent a message.

Two thieves are working the area.

It's probably nothing, but I thought I'd spread the word.

We'll talk later.

Yeah, okay.

I gotta go find the oldest.

Great, I'll come along. What? No, no, because you have to stay here.

I do? Yes, because you're needed.

I am. Hmm.

Um, I lied.

The cook's not as good as I said he was.

Sorry. All he knows how to make is barley. You know, he makes barley stew

barley on toast and barley with a side of barley.

Perhaps I could show him a thing or two.

You are the best, Mom.

Thank you. He's right over there.

Over here? Over there, and you can't miss him, okay? He's angry about his

and he's rolling around in barley, okay?

Now, let's review.

You are Skouros, my war herald father, and you are Arathia, my mother. And when

Chiron comes in... Oh, please.

We are professionals.

I'll have you know, my Poseidon made a huge splash in Athens.

Come, come.

What are you doing here?

The constable is looking for two thieves.

Constable? What's up with that?

He's looking for them.

Them? No, no, no. They come highly recommended. If I thought they were

anything wrong... Oh, that's it.

Now you get him out of here, or else you get him out. No, no, I will, I will, I

will!

When the review is over.

Now.

Can I help you?

Lee. Lee.

Kyron.

Uh... Dad?

Mom, this is Chiron.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Skudos.

I've heard much about your exploits in the battlefield.

Yes, we must have a talk sometime, warrior to warrior.

I would be interested to hear about the Battle of Boatia.

Well,

Dad doesn't really like to talk about the war, especially in front of Mom.

Oh, I don't mind. Go ahead, dear.

Well, the battle raged all around us.

There was a lot of fierce fighting.

Yes, I lost a lot of good men that day.

But the reports from the front said there was only one casualty.

Yes, only one man actually died.

But a lot of them sort of wandered off. We never did find them.

So, how about that review then, huh?

Oh.

Here we are.

Hey, old, you should be ashamed of yourself.

In my line of work, there's only one way to enforce discipline.

Cut off their...

Privileges. Break their spirit.

Well, I guess that's it then.

So it's time to go. I think you guys have to go to that thing.

Not thing. You know, that thing that requires you to be there now.

Nonsense. If they go now, they'll miss all the fun of Parents' Day.

We wouldn't want that now, would we?

Son.

I am not leaving, Nina. I don't care if you are my big sister.

Lilith. Stop being so disagreeable.

I never said I wanted to go home.

So you wanted me to come here just to upset me.

Nina, I love you.

I invited you here because I wanted you to see how happy I am. But what about

me? Without your help, I can barely run the farm.

We can hire somehow.

It's not the same.

I need you. Your family needs you.

It's what Mom and Dad would have wanted.

But I... Enough selfishness. Let's go home.

Hello, Kyron.

So, you grow all your own hay here?

What? I thought you said you were going to get rid of them. Well, that was

before they became best buddies with Kyron. Oh.

Viola. Hey.

Finally, I get to say hello.

Hi. Where are your parents?

they couldn't make it.

Well, that's odd.

Your mother said she and your dad would both be here.

You saw my mom?

Yes, at the market.

She didn't receive an invitation, but I told her every parent was welcome.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Your dad is even making a special trip home from the war just to see you.

Oh, my dad.

He's coming here.

I've got to slap the hogs.

Mom!

You're here.

It's good to see you, Jonas.

You too.

Cut to the chase, boy. Your mom says we never got an invitation.

Really? Oh.

Well, it must be those pesky carrier pigeons. They're totally unreliable

mating season.

Mom? Dad?

You guys know Akmini. Hello.

And this is Hercules.

Hercules, of course.

Very lovely.

Sir, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. Hercules, huh?

You're the one who keeps getting my son in trouble.

What? No.

Um,

guys, how about we check out that boat race way down by the river?

I'm much more interested in finding out how you've been doing this year.

Oh, well, yeah.

Yep. You just missed the parent -teacher conference.

So, who's up for a long hike?

But you've come such a long way. I'm sure Kyron will let you reschedule.

Right. Great.

Thanks, Alchemy. Right.

Come on, dear.

Okay. See you later, honey. Bye.

There they go again.

Walking up like I wasn't here.

So, what are you going to do now? I don't know.

Try stalling.

Change of plans.

My real parents are here.

I need your help.

Ten, Dean. Five.

Fifteen. Okay, fine.

How can we help you?

Come on. Try to keep up.

What do you want?

Sorry, sir. I'm having problems with this exercise. I guess I need somebody

experienced to show me how it's done. Find an instructor. I'm busy.

Who did that?

Enemy spies.

I saw them, and they went over there.

Right. Enemy spies.

This is a centaur's costume?

We used it last year at the Solstice Festival. It's all we got.

Stop squirming.

Oh, hey, how come I'm playing the supporting role?

Come on. In you hop. Get in there.

Hey. Son.

Honey.

You must be Chiron.

You seem different than I imagined.

Well, it appears that perception is in the eye of the perceiver.

Maybe we should just get to the review,

Chiron. Yeah.

Well done, Eolus.

Very impressive.

Oh, hey, honey.

As you can see, your son has been a model student.

Reminds me of a son I once had.

Are you sure we're talking about our Eolus?

Forgive the intrusion. We're searching for a couple of thieves.

Thieves?

We've tracked them to the academy.

Thieves?

What do they want here? There's nothing worth stealing.

The oldest, let him in.

We have nothing to hide.

Oh, really?

A bracelet like this one was reported stolen from a nearby town.

Arrest them.

The oldest, tell them who we are.

Look, you've got the wrong couple. You're looking for them.

Chiron is a thief?

No, what?

No, no, no, no, no. No, let me explain.

What's going on here?

And who are you?

It's okay. You're not needed here, sir. But thank you. This is my office.

And I'm Chiron.

Look, Chiron, or whoever you are, are these his parents or not?

I've never seen you two before.

That's all I need to know.

Take them away.

Wait, wait, wait.

I got everything under control. Don't worry. Yes.

Care to explain?

Not really.

Sir.

Hercules. What? Oh, no.

Hercules. You've got to help me.

No. My parents have been arrested. No.

The fakes have taken off the Chiron's chalice. No.

Hercules, please.

Fine.

All right. You stop the comfortable from leaving with your folks and I'll get

the fake.

Really? Why not?

Thanks.

What a great day.

We've got the loot and the lore. It's off our backs.

Don't count on it.

or she gets it.

You know what?

You two are really starting to tick me off.

Don't push me!

Listen, there's got to be a way to work this out.

Interacting couple of characters?

You okay, Nina? I think so, thanks to you.

Uh, yes, sir.

You seem to be in the middle of all this.

Maybe you could explain to the constable here.

Well, it all started when I asked this couple to pose as my parents for

Day. Oh, we owe this.

How could you?

Well, I knew you and Dad were counting on me, and I... I didn't want to

disappoint you. Oh.

Fake parents.

Now, what is up with that?

Well, you're never around. What's up with that? Never around. Look.

You're right, Scourge.

You know, maybe if we spent more time with Iolos, we wouldn't have these

problems. Son, you know that I'm

always... We love you, Iolos.

Yeah, what she said.

changed your mind about the Academy?

No, but I've changed my mind about you.

This is where you belong.

Mom and Dad would have been proud.

Oh, thanks, Nina.

Looks like we'll see you next vacation.

Of course, she'll be grounded for that stunt you pulled.

Yes, you naughty boy.

Listen,

I'm really sorry that we didn't get a chance to spend more time together.

Well, it seems you were a little busy.

You know there's no one more important to me than my caring, forgiving,

thoughtful... Oh, Hercules.

Mother.

Bye,

Dinah. There's the kid. Take care.

Bye. Bye.

Bye, Yola. Bye, Camini.

Guys,

you know that exam we got next week?

I got this genius idea of how to get out of it.

Do you hear anything?

No, no.

a lot of things, a lot of work.

Yeah.
